The mystery attending the abduction Of
Rey has directed attention to the policy of
the Spanish authorities of the island of
Cuba, so that every act will be scrutinized
closely. Therefore is il that the New
York Epening Post and other journals now
refer to the unsatisfactory circumstances
attending the death of Machin, an agent
in New Orleans of La Kerdad The Post
says:
In the early part Of the month Of May last, the
leading Cuban patriots in this city receiveda trusty
notification from important and reliable source
(whether from Madrid or from Havana, is imma-
terial,) that the Spanish prime minister, Narvaez
had written TO the captain general Of Cuba, Gene
raj Ronca TO the effect that he considered il very
strange that, with the unlimited powers and means
possessed by captain general Of Cuba, such pa
per as La Verdad allowed TO be published in
the United States; and the notification accom-
panied with caution TO the parties here to whom
il was sent, to be their guard with reference to
the safety of their persons.
Bribery, kidnapping, or assassination, of course,
were the only "unlimited means" which the agents
Of foreign power could employ in suppressing
paper Whlch Was published nnoer tne sanction and
protection Of American laws.
Extraordinary as this statement may appear to
our readers unacquainted with the government Of
the Island Of Cuba, it's truth may be depended on.
This being promised the following narrative will
explain the affair to which desire again 10 direct
public attention:
Up TO the sth Of July last, Mr.. Mschin, to whom
we have alluded. was the New Orleans agent Of the
pndad newspaper, published in this city,'s
violent partisan Of the Cuban patriots. II had been
his duty TO transmit and procure the circulation Of
La perdad through the Island of Cuba; Of course,
clandestiney az its circulation then prohibited
by heavy penalties. Though he had formerly been
in good circumstances, he was, at the period refer
red ~, IN reduced circumstances, and was support
ing himself A. tobscconist in New Orleans.
On the 18th Of June last, in one Of his letters TO
the editor Of La Yerdad, in this city, he relates
long conversation he had held the day before with
an acquaintance, Don Fdgsneio Liorents whom,
he said he had for some time had reason 10 regard
a. a Spanish spy. This Llorente has since been
indicted for assisting in the abduction Of Rey
From Machin's letter, lying before ms, we trans
late the following extract;
"To the affair. He (LIorente) saluted me--we
talked u busness--tbe conversation led 10 the pa
per La Yerdad) land IN a tone Of seeming friend
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1849-09-06

The Boston Courier contains an article
on the subject Of al valorem duties, which
presents some striking facts, and facts
which cannt, fail TO startle candid men of
all parties, when they come to the consid-
Grafton of the tariff in tic next Congress.
However the House may be constituted,
there is no doubt, We suppose, that i'm
portant notifications of the tariff will be
successfully attempted. The voice Of
starving LABOR will be heard-drowning
the walls and howls Of displaced pension
ers and ex-stipendiaries.
To give a few instances of the opera
ton of the al Daiorem system Broadcloths
pay duty on an invoice cost Of sixty-elght
TO seventy-fve cents per yard, and that,
too, not even the square yard, but on the
running yard, FIVE and six quarters wide.
Brandies, that pay one hundred per cent.
duty, are imported so as to cost, landed,
duty paid, not above seventy-fve cents
per gallon. The pretended inUoice price
Of such brandy, on which duty is paid,
could not have been above thirty cents,
as there are, besides the duties, freight,
insurance, SC, to pay. Entire cargoes
are imported at this rate. Champagne
wine is imported at the cost Of 81 IS to
81 per dozen, by FIVE hundred to one
thousand baskets at time. The average
rate of duty on coal from Nova Scotia
does not exceed three-icurths to one cent
per bushel, and is brought in very large
quantities.
Now, every body knows that TO invoice
broadcloths at sixty-eight to seventy-ive
cents, and champagne at two dollars
dozen, is a fraud, and yet IT is fraud
without remedy, under Mr.. WALKERS
system. So, under this system, the same
article, imported from the same place, is
made 70 pay one rate Of duty at Boston,
another at New York, another at New Or

voice, and the collector has his own way

Mr.. Bancroft.

A correspondent of the sole organ sug-
gests that Mr.. BooDHEAD, our late secre-
tary of legation at St. James's, was filter
to be minister than secretary. We think
so highly of Mr.. BRoDHEAD that we deem
it poor compliment to say that he was,
in all respects, filter to be minister than
Mr.. BANCROFT. To those familiar with
Mr.. BANcRoFT's antecedents, there is
something ludicrous in the notion of his
figuring as politician or an ambassador.
He was educated as a Unitarian clergy
man, but abandoned the desk at an early
period. He then opened school at
Northampton, but, so far from being able
to govern men, he failed even in the gov
eminent of boys. He made himself odious
and ridiculous to his pupils, who pasqui-
naded him in parodies Of his poetical
translations from the German, and rendered
Round Hill altogether too hot for comfort.
Mr.. BANCROFT then turned politician, and
sought preferment among the WINGS
Finding that he had brought his wares to
bad market, he abandoned the WHrGs,
and figured as an Abolitionist and Loco
foco. In this capacity he ran for Con-
gress and was beaten, when Mr.. VAN b.
Rem made him Collector of the port of
Boston. When Mr. Polk was inaugurated
as President, to the surprise Of everybody
who knew the man, Mr. Bancroft was
made Secretary of the Navy. Finding
that he would not answer for a department,
Mr.. Polk sent him as Minister TO Eng
land, where he has been intermeddIing
with matters beyond his province, and has
Disguised everybody with whom he has
been brought in contact by his vanity and
insolence.
Mr.. BRODHEAD would certainly have
made better minister than Mr.. BAN
CROFT. Mr. BRoDHEAD is gentleman;
MIR. BANCROFT has the manners of fib-
bertigibbet. Mr.. BRoDHEAD is a true man
MIR. BANCROFT has the morals of a polti-
cal Scapin.

The New York Globe attributes the cleo
ton of Mr.. Dixon in the western district
of Rhode Island to the fact that "Truman
Smith, instead of ranking printed circu-
lars, such as he flooded the western States
with, went to the scene Of the contest IN
propria persona, and accomplished by his
presence that which could not be effected
by proxy"
There is no truth in this; but when the
Locofocos beat or are beaten, they man
age to attribute their victory or defeat to
the Senator from Connecticut The Pro-
violence Journal says that they "Iegard
him as huge monster, who goes about
the country devourng innocent Locofocos,
and his name is as terrible to them as
that of old Tack was to the Mexicans. f"
The same paper says that the Locos were
defeated in Mr.. DIxoN's district because
they were in minority. They carried
the district at the preceding Congressional
election, because of the divisions in the
Wing ranks--the cause which alone ope-
rated against us in Tennessee, and pre-
vented US from gaining two members at
least in Kentucky.

Edward McGauxheyi

The verdict of his district in returning
Mr.. McGAUGHEY to the House of Repre-
sentatives, by majority of nearly two
thousand votes, furnishes palpable proof
of the propriety Of his nomination by Pre-
sident TAYLOR as governor Of Minnesota.
He is said to have received more votes by
several hundred than were ever before
given to candidate in his district IN
exceptionable in character, of fine talents,
and liberal experience, he was rejected in
the Senate by strict party vote, on the
ground of some exception taken to his
course in Congress on the Mexican war.
On that subject, we suppose, he ventured
to think for himself, and dared to express
his thoughts, without the fear of being de-
nounced by the Executive organ as a
ssmoral traitor This was the phrase,
we believe, by which the poltroons and
cravens Of Locofocoism stigmatized man
who differed from the late President on
the Mexican war. Mr.. Senator FooTE
came within an ace of denouncing Gene
raj TAYLOR himself as ''moral traitor
on this score, because he could not find
some one prepared to take the floor and
state afhrmatively that General TAYLOR
approved of the Mexican war.
Whatever may have been Mr.. McGAU-
GHEY's views on this or any other sub
ject, it is clear enough that they were the
opinions of the people who elected him,
and who have reelected him by major
ity so unprecedented.

Tennessee.

1t is evident that Locofocodom has &C.
complished little to boast of in TENNESSEE,
though the Wings have something Of which
to be ashamed in the result of the late
election. The WHIG candidate for the Of
fee Of governor was defeated, but in the
legislature on joint ballot there is tie.
The Nashville Wing says that the result
of the election in both cases shows that
there have been very few, if any, changes
on the part of the Wings with regard to
the principles of government which have
heretofore divided political parties Mr..
EwING's election is not claimed as lri-
umph by the Democrats in his own dis
trict. General CULLoM, the Wing candi-
date, was defeated simply because of his
refusal to submit his claims to a conven-
ton and abide its decision, when himself
and General BARROW were candidates.
The result of the election all round, in the
view of our Tennessee friends, proves no
thing but this-that when parties in State
are pretty equally divided, union and con-
centration are Indispensable to the actual
majority, TO enable them to maintain their
position.

The above letter appears to have been
written June II, and on the Sth of July
following the writer was found in his room
dead, having apparently shot himself. On
the table lay letter giving reasons for
committing suicide, which a coroner's in
quest gave verdict that he had done.
Volumes cannot persuade many persons
that Machin was not murdered, and it
must be confessed that, when all the cir
cumstances of the affairs of Rey and in re-
lation to the Verdad are considered, there
are grounds for doubt if government
which would countenance the perilous at
tempt to violate the soil of the United
States would hesitate to procure the muir
der of one so obscure as the person re-
ferred to. The New York Euening Post
promises additional disclosures in relation
to this affair, which we have before men
toned, and we shall watch carefully for
| them.
