MORE DECLARATIONS.

FROM THE SOUTHERN WING ATHENS, eEo.) OF MAY 80.
We have entertained apprehensions, since the
election of Delegates in this State, that the apathy
OF the people, indicated on that OCCASION would
partially, il not entirely, deprive Georgia of par
ticpaton in the deliberations of the Southern coun
Gil These fears, SO far as this district is concern
ed, have been fully realized. We publish below a
letter from of our delegates (Col BnLUps) set
ting forth his reasons for not accepting the trust
whilst we are informed the other, Judge HILYER,)
probably for similar reasons, has also declined.
This state of things is greatly to be deplored, and
we say let the censure fall where it should Justly
attach. Certainly no blame can be imputed to these
gentlemen for refusing to engage in service from
which apparently at least) the impress of the po-
pular sanction has been withheld
ATHENS, MAY I3, 1850.
Gov. Towns: Dear Sir have received from the execu
tive departments communication covering certificate of cleo
ton Of the delegates the Nashville Convention from
the sixth Congressional district. Whilst sir, may with
unaffected sincerity declare, that all times ready and

sented for the uages Of the electors Viewing the subject

THE CUBAN AFFAIR.

In the United States District Court at New York.
on Monday. the Foreman of the Grand Jury read
the following paper to the Court:
"The Grand jury under instructions of the Court have
instituted an investigation the hostile invasion of the
Island OF Cuba and have directed the Court
that in their opinion sufficient evidence has no. been pre-
sented to authorize the indictment of any person
TOR criminal violation Of the laws Of the United States within
this district. NORMAN WHIrE. Foreman"
The Jury was then discharged for the term.
Upon these proceedings the Express remarks
"The Cuban invaders here have done but little else than
brag and boast They have not been trusted with the
disbursement of the contribution money, and the fighting
preferred from the West and Southwest Hence the
Grand Jury have not been able any thing here
cept the Of of the parties and that Lopez spent
the winter here under an assumed name"

THE UNITED STATES AND SPAIN.

The Heratdo, journal established at Madrid. Of
the 9th OF May, publishes large portion of the
speech delivered by Mr.. HUNTER, of Virginia. in
the Senate of the United States on the 25,b IF
March last, and, commenting thereon, makes the
following observations in regard to the relations of
Spain with the United States
We have extracted largely from this speech
in order that we might be allowed to comment
on it at length. The remarks of Mr.. HuSTER
are, however, SO just and pertinent, that we can
add but little to them; and we believe they will.
IN great measure, contribute to obtain the inst
indemnity which Spain claims. The Government
OF the United States has great interest in keeping
on terms OF perlectagreement with our Government
IN this matter, for most forcble reason. The
United States and Spain are the only two nations
OF any consequence which have considerable
number OF slaves, representing an immense capital;
anc their duty is to unite in opposition to the aboli
aonlsts, who, under the cloak of philanthropy,
and in exchange for an impossible freedom for
the negroes, would consent that the whites should
perish either by hunger or the hand of the assas
sin. The sad results of this abolition policy else
where is an eloquent lesson for the United States
and for US. Let US bear in mind what has been
done in the island Of Jamaica, once so fourshing
and rich, now overspread with ruin, its fertile
plantations abandoned, its commerce gone, and
the place destitute even of amusements, such is
the excess OF its misery and misfortune. Against
the lncessant Vaccinations of these wretched vi
slonaries, Spain and the United States have Joint
ly to contend; and it would be unfortunate
where there should be union and common OBJ
Ject, to find distrust and want of mutual protec-
ton. We hope that the United States will thus
regard it, and do justice to our legitimate claims

The "Union," upon consideration of the Cuban
Expedition its illegal Objects and its result as far
as known, discovers that there is weakness, in.
capacity, and ignorance in the men who conduct
our public AFFAIRS The proof of this is found in
the fact, if fact it be, that the Administration has
become the tool of the Southern monarchy" and
"upholds the cruel tyranny which Spain practises
in the Island of Cuba
Was ever more monstrous fasehood perpetrated
than this The Executive has done no more than
he was bound to do by his oath of Office no more
than law and public sentiment required him to do;
no more than what Mr.. VAN buren,, as the chief
Magistrate of the country, did during the Canadian
frontier troubles and what the present editor of the
Union supported him in doing.
The Union loses no opportunity to side with
the enemies of the country, and the enemies of lib
erty and of peace. If respect IS commanded for
the Government, and for those who represent its
honor and its interests, it declares, as in the
of the French Minister, that it is provoking quar-
rel with France. If treaty Is made Nth Great
Britain the practical effect of which is to prevent
the British from colonizing on our continent, it de-
clares "we are sold to the British" If good faith
IS maintained with nation Nth aohom zoe are at
peace, as with Spain, and prompt effort made to
preserve the integrity of our flag, then the Admin
istration is "weak, incapable, incompetent igno-
rant monarchical," &c. If the Government objects
to fitting out ships armed for battle against q
nation Of Europe With Whom zoe are at peace; if
it hesitates to wink at buccaneering and rapacity,
why, forsooth it is Austrian, Spanish, British, or
something worse. Nothing is done relative to our
diplomacy in which the Unien does not cry out,
/" Fee, faw, fum I smell the blood of an Englishman,
Dead or alive, will have some"
Let the Union put its fears to rest eOld Tack"
will neither sell us to the British the Spaniards nor
any body else, nor will he ever cry ".ffy-four
forty or fight" and then back ou.
