emanated from some interested source, and created dis

Tended by the mperious and assuming OF their
guest, without exception, give the lie to the Islander and
every one ON board, from the captain down TO the /
humbles of the crew, TO be impressed with

but Of the warmest affection tor the exiled patriot

OF the calumny its Kossu,h is still formi
dable enemy to the desposm which he caused TO

meanwhile we must be content with the accounts given
of him by his late shirnaes, who describe him hay

While Winthrop polls larger vote by thou
sand five hundred than thrown for Briggs last year
he still finds the majority of the combined vote against
him greater by twelve hundred than that against
the candidate who preceded him. The pure democratic
vote In Massachusetts, has reached fortyfo thousand

certain quarters than was suspected
We have been somewhat excited here within the last
few days by of demands and exactons on
the part OF Spain in relation TO the Cuban affair and the
fmsute at New Orleans The people in this section of
the country, and especially in this city feel very deeply
for the poor fellows who langushng in Spanish
dungeon and would spare nothing which they could con-
cede with honor TO obtain their release. But they are
still far from forgetting that heavy account remains to
be settled with Spain for the execution of our fellow
citizens without form OF trial. Tor the dissertation of their

which does not carefully guard national dignity and
honor from the remotest appearance OF a stain.

priety and solemny which the occasion calls for. In
the array OF the special jury which ordered 10 be
summoned by the court are to be found the names OF
many OF the most disng citizens of the State
distinguished not merely by their exalted position, but
by their wel-known worth, probty, and honor. This
is should be; and may hope, in this instance to
see the supremacy of the law indicated, and their full
deserts awarded 10 those who have transgIessed it,
