The Proclamation of the President of the United
States, put forth in consequence Of new attempt at
the invasion Of Cuba, which has been rumored fol
the last few weeks, would give some weight to that
report, did we not recoect what sort of Admnstra-
ton is now at the head of affairs. Miard Fill
more is the "pale refex'' of the Regency's folly.
He starts at shadows, and among realities he has
proven himself imbecile. The present cumors
about Cuba are more baseless than shadows. No
sensible person pays the slightest attention TO them.
The buccaneering attempt of Lopez, which did really
take place year so ago. found no obstacle in the
Whig Administration. And when it was all over,
those really engaged in it were allowed to pass un-
touched, while number of the most distinguished,
worthy and sober citizens Of the South. who never
had ot part in it, were dragged from their homes
the Federal Court of Louisiana. The majesty of a
sovereign State insu!ted, her rights laughed to
scorn, and her Governor dragged the heels of Fed
eral power. This was what the Administration did
in the South, while Boston in the North was resist
ing the laws which Vice President Fillmore had
sworn to maintain. His proclamation is put out on
these vague stories, for other purpose con-
ceive Of, than to fiji up the measure Of popular scorn
for himself and his party.
We copy the foregoing forcible and well-timed re-
marks from the Richmond Examiner. They true
to the letter, and exhbi, the present Federal Admin
is,ra,ion in anything bu, an enviable light. When

SUMMERS ELECTION.
The " Commonwealth" Freesoil paper of Bos-
ton, comments as follows upon the election of Sum-
ner:
make This indestructib Union the pride and joy of the
world 1t will raise the dropping hopes Of the slave.
and of the slaveless white of the South. 1t will
give courage to the thousands of true men at the
South, who, like Cassius NJ. Clay, are longing to
throw off the chain Of the Shareholder ,oU elsc-
trJy Me reemen Of the North. II wiA seal the death
,Uarrant IF the Fugih,e Stare Law!''
The day the '' death-warrrant of the fnguve-slave
law" is " sealed" will also seal the fate of this
Union. Repeal that law, and millions of Southern
men will 60 about dissolving this Union as in the
performance of sacred duty. AS sure as God lives,
this is so! If the Union, then, is to be destroyed,
the North, and not the South, will do it.
The EMPEROR OF HAYrI. That paragon of a
monarch, the - woolly-headed" Faustin Soulouque,
the high and mighty Emperor of Hayti. according to
the latest print this morning, from the Port
au Prince, has been venturng some further manfes-
taons of his dislike Of this country and government.
Indemnify for the imprisonment of the Captain of the
brig Leander, see has been refused, but on what
preence is not stated. Whether the American squa-
dron will enforce the demand not, not advi.
sed. The impression among the Haytians was that
it would. New York Erpress.
MIR. Fillmore is very active in preventing Ameri-
cans from aiding the down-trodden Cubans in their
efforts for liberty-what will he do with the negro
Emperor of Hayt, who, it appears, has nsulted the
dignity of this country! Will he issue a ProcIama-
tion against him!
CHEAP PRooF Pass. Learning that Mr. E. S.
Zevelley, of Pleasant Grove, near Cumberland, in
Maryland, had invented very cheap Proof Press,
ordered one from him, and have found in to an.
swer all the purposes of Press which formerly cos
from $40 to $50. Printers in need of Proof Press
letters to his residence as above mer toned, will in
few days find that have said no more than is due
| If we mistake not, Mr. ZevelIey is native of this
State, and printed paper in this City, years
since.
We see from notice in the last Raleigh Standard
that the Hon. A. w. Venabie, is again candidate
for Congress in the 5th Congressional District. Mr.
Venable is sound Democrat, and has faithfully anc
tearessly carried out the wishes of majority of hi
constituents. His course in the last Congress ha
endeared him not only to his own constituents, bu
to every true friend OF the South. ..
We presume Mr.. Venable will have no opposition
in the District, there is no Wing who is dispose
to measure arms with him. Since Mr.. VenabIe'
signal victory over his opponents three years ago
there seems to be disposition the part of some
the Wh;g leaders to emigrate to other parts.
