O. Our New York Correspondent seems to
think that Gen. Sam. Houston's prospects for the
Presidency have been rather injnriously affected
by the discovery of the plot on the part of his
friends to forestal public sentiment in his favor,
and to get the control Of the wires BY which the
nomination in the National Convention is to be
effected.
When we first saw the letters that were pub
lished in the ~ Y. Herald, we thought the whole
thing was hoax. No one in this State, as yet,
seems 10 know any thing of the .:IIon. Nathan
lei Greer, of Iowa." he is styled in these let
tiers; and we suggest that reward be offered for
the discovery Of the whereabouts Of the gentle
man.
There is no doubt, that some person will turn
up somewhere answering to that name; and we
have as little doubt, now, that the letters are gen.
uine, and that, by The publication of them in the
Herald. a we'll concocted scheme has been made
public, by which Gen. Sam. Houston was to be
made 10 regular nominee of the next Democratic
National Convention for the Presidency, and by
which he was to receive the support Of such men
as G!liings AMI Chase, Of Ohio, and the Free
Sellers generally, all over the country.
Mr. Donaldson. Of Texas, one of the Secreta-
ries Of this ss!f-consttuted committee. writes 10
the ''Hon. Nathaniel Greer, of Iowa, )" another of
the Secretaries, that 'if he could but prerent the
passage Of Land Reform resolutions in the State
Convention Of Iowa, and other portions Of the
West, then Walker, Of Wisconsin, could easily
be Kept in the back ground and Hoaston's chances
greatly improved"
We hope this hint to our Democratic friends
in Iowa, will not be suffered to go unheeded.-
Don't pass any Land Reform resolutions for mer-
cy's sake! Keep Walker in the back ground, and
give 'Oid SAM chance!
The advice to the Democracy in New York is
equally important. Mr. Donaldson says
SNAKE no mis-steps, little alusion to ''niggerism'
and let the State convention not 60 beyond the
Ohio PLATFORM
Inc free Sellers Of the North will no doubt
ieei highly complimented at this attempt to buy
them, body and breeches, to the support of Gen.
Houston and the schemes OF Southern factionists.

e. The Island Of Cuba is the most valuable
and productive of any on the Globe. We doubt
whether there is spot 900 miles long and 81

Its productions are estimated at sixty millions

Chivalry.

When President Fillmore arrived at the White
Sulphur Springs, (Va.,) the South Carolinians,
who were present refused to unite with the visit
ors in extending welcome TO him.
This is South Carolina chivalry. This is the
way Northern President is treated by men from
the cline of boasted hospitality.
We do no. presume, however, that MIR Fill

We ask the attention Of our readers to the
article in our paper to-day from the National In
telligencer on the subject of the late invasion of
Cuba. We believe the views of that paper are
eminently just and soand;-sach as every Ameri-
can citizen should entertain, who has just re-
gard for the honor Of his own country, and for
the rights Of others. The talk aboat the s'despo-
tism Of Spain," and the emancipation Of Cuba"
with which some Of our journals are filed, is all
CANNON. The issue Of this Lopez expedition
shows that the Cnhans are entirely coateated with
their condition. Not one Of them, so far as we
are informed by the accounts, gave the least conn
tenance to the invasion Of their island. When the
forces Of Lopez were dispersed by Gen. Emma,
the country people--the Cabans, forsooth, tnro'
sympathy with whose wrongs and oppression,
our citizen, have been led on by falsshood, to so
dspiorable fate-started in pursuit, taking pris-
oners and shooting them on the spot. The ac-
counts from Havana up to Aug. 18th, state that
two hundred ana fifty men have already been
shot, and nearly that number have fallen in ac-
tisn,-h: rest Of them are hunted down by blood
AosYds. The forces Of Lopez have become CON-
pletely disbanded; and not single Individual has
gone over to them. This shows that the inva-
dsrs have found no more sympathizers among the
Cubans, in the last 2,diton, than they did las.
year at Cardenas.
Upon the subject Of the mems used BY inter-
sstcd persons, to iniacs the young man Of the
country to engage IN this expedition, we take the
following just remarks from the St Louis Repub-
ican:
In or opinion, the Cuban refugees in New
York, and the broken down politicians, msr-
chants and adventures, who have combined there
10 get up this expedition, deserve as much exc.
Grafton as those who participated in the execn-
ton OF the Americans at Havana Thsy are the
real ssrderers. They deceived them, by bold in
ven.ions and gross lies, into embarking in this ex
petition, and they ought TO suffer for il. If the
Indignation which now vents itself. at public
meetings, in useless denunciations Of the Cnba,
Government, were turned against the real an.
tAors Of all the mischief, in New York. il wou,t
be time spent to some purpose. They have prov.
ed themselves not only inscriptions men, bu
cunning dipiomatists,i in putting forward bold ane
unsuspecting young Americans to revoutionize
nv hard fighting, the Island Of Cuba--intendinc
IL successful, to come in at the heal Of the game
TO claim all the honors, the Offices. and the Row
alpropsrty Of the confscated. If the Young mel
were killed, and the adventure failed, thew wer
secure from harm in the city Of New York!
