WASHINGTON. August II.

WASHINGTON, August II.
It is known here that the PamperO took
five or six hundred men from New-OrIeans
to Cuba, though see that, in the New York
papers, it is pronounced fabrication, and in
tended only to excite enthusiasm in the cause
at home. The PamperO carried out six brass
pieces of cannon, and also provisions and
munitions of war. Three hundred and fifty
men at the same time sailed from Florida in
sailing vessels.
The Pdmpero is to land her passengers and
their effects, and return for more. If four
or FIVE hundred men should also embark at
New York, it would seem that Lopez and the
revolutionists would soon have force of
some two thousand men.
Lopez will issue his proclamation which
he had printed in New-Orleans, and set up a
revolutionary government.
The Pctmpero, when she returns, is to
come back under the Lopez flag, and with a
commission or letter of marque from his pro
visional government. The Pampero was
built under the superintendent of 1t. Hun
ter, of the U. S. Navy, for the California
trade, and is a sort of flying fish. Her bur
den is 400 tons, and she can carry 600 men.
She was fitted out at New Orleans open
ly and without any reserve or concealment,
and no government officers interposed to
question her. The troops she carried were
openly drilled for weeks near the city. So
this expedition was set on foot, in the U.
States contrary to the law of 1918. At N.
Orleans, it is said, the public sentiment is SO
strongly in favor of the enterprise that the
laws, which would obstruct it, will be disre-
garded. Thus while the instruction against
the Cuban government has been entirely
quelled in Cuba, it is becoming formidable
here in the United States.

PADUCAH, AUG. 18th

oFhe EddyvlIIe storm Of Saturday was of
the most terrific and disastrous character
The standing corn was every where prostrat-
ted; the crops generally damaged; trees up
rooted; telegraph wires broken; houses blown
down, &c.
The storm sunk the steamers Dover and
Caledonia, which. lay moored at our wharf
the latter sunk out Of sight in few minutes.
Tho wharf-boats were greatly injured. The
gable end of the Marshall House, at Smith
land, was nearly blown down. The steam
ers Caledonia and Dover total loss. The
steamer America sustained damage to the a
mount of $4,000. The Mustang lost her
chimneys. The Globe lost all her cabin;
nothing left but her boilers, engine and hull.
Smedley lost thecabin of his wharf-boat. AL
the boats that lay moored at Paducah broke
loose, and was injured more or less. Tie
steamer Caledonia had very large freight
aboard.

To-day was glorious day,
for the Union in.this country dghapul-
tepec arrived at this place On Sunday eve
ming, and sailed out to ~. +. Cannon,s to
be escorted in to-day. About ten o'clock,
the immense procession heayed in sight, con-
.sisting of Buggies, Carriages, and militia
cavalry numbering one hundred and fifteen
souls with and without boards, under the
command Of his late Excellency AS they
paraded through the principle streets Of the
town they seemed to say, as the fly said to
the coach wheel, ewhat dust we horses kick
up" The friends Of the General were wait
ed upon by committee Of the Union party,
requesting the liberty of reply, which was
granted The discussion began at eleven
o'clock, and for FIVE mortal hours the people
Of this county we're gulled and greened by
the Embryo President of the Southern Re-
public. I think that this was the most
moving effort of this gentleman's life, for
the audience were going out all the time, and
not to return. His speech consisted of an
hours abuse and Misrepresentation Of Gen.
Foote. One hour was directed to his militia
ry services in Mexico, and the numerous Of
fees of trust and confidence which he has
filed in the State. One hour to the perse-
cution of his enemies. Haitian hour to his
great worth and to the chiyalry of South
Carolina, the balance of the time was spent
in denouncing the Compromise and the gen
eral Government generally. After relieving
the audience by concluding, Col. Cobb, Of
Lowndes was called for, who mounted the
rostrum amid the deafning shouts of the
multitude who rushed into the Court House
at the announcement of the name of Cobb
I have no hesitancy in saying that this gen
tlemans effort was the ablest 1 ever heard
His argument was clear, close, cogent and
convincing, and from the long faces which
appeared in the audience it carried dismay
and confusion into the ranks of the disunion-
lists, This was the clearest exposition of the
constitutiOnality of the Compromised have
ever listened to, and will make scores of con-
verts to our cause. The conclusion of the
speech was the most patriotic outburst Of
impassioned eloquence that I have ever lis
tened to since the days of S. S. Prentiss.-
If all the voters Of old Lowndes could have
heard thiaefort am fully pursuaded that
Csi. Cobb would carry his county by ten to
one. Nothing more at present. You may
set this county down for the Union and nc
mistake. Truly Yours,
WEBER.

The SOUTHERN RIGHTS UNION PLATFORM

l. Resolved, That we hold the American Union
secondary in importance only to the rights and
principles it was designed to perpetuate that past
assoc iationspresent fruion and future prospects,
will bind us TO it so long it continues to be the
safeguard to those rights and principles.
9. Resolvcd, That if the thirteen original parties
to this contract, bordering the Atlantic in a mar
row belt, whilst their separate interests were in
embryo, their peculiar tendencies scarcely de-
veloped, their revolutionary trials and triumphs
still green i'll memory, found Union impossible
without compromise, the thirty-one of this day
will yield somewhat in the conflict of opinion and
policy, o preserve that Union which has extended
the sway of republican government over vast
wilderness to another ocean, and propOrtionately
advanced their civilization and national great
ness.
3. That in this sp!ritwe have maturely consid-
cred the action of Congress, embracing a series
of measures-for the admission of California in
to the Union, the organization of territorial gov
ernments for Utah and New Mexico, the estab-
lishment OF boundary between the latter and the
State of Texas, the suppression of the slave trade
i'll the District of Columbia, and the extradtion
of fugitive slaves, and connected with them, the
rejection of the proposition to exclude slavery
from the Mexican territories and to abolish it in
the District of Columbia-and whilst we do not
wholly approve, will abide by it, as permanent
adjustment of this sectional controversy
A. That in our judgment, we will and ought to
resist, even (as last resort 10 disruption of ev
cry tie which binds her to the Union, any action
of Congress upon the subject of slavery in the
District of Columbia, or in places subject to the
jurisdiction of Congress. Incompatible with the
safety, domestic tranquility the right and honor
of the slaveholding States or in any act sup
pressing the slave trade between the slavehold-
ing States, or in any refusal TO admit as a State
any territory heretofore applying, because ofthe
existence of slavery therein, in any act pro-
hibiting the introduction of slaves into the ter
ritories of Utah and New Mexico, or in any act
repeating or materially modifying the laws now
in force for the recovery of fugitive slaves.
5. That it is our deliberate opinion, that upon
the faithful execution of the fugitive slave law,
by the proper authorities, depends the preser-
! yation of our much loved Union.

Slavery in 1776.

While the subject of slavery is command
ing the attention of the people in every sec
ton of the Union, it may not be uninterest-
ing to give a few facts in connection with its
existence in l776. From an authentic
source, we learn that slavery, at the period
when the different States assumed the direc-
ton of their own affairs bysdeclaring indie
pendence, existed to some extent as now re-
cognized in the Southern States, in every
one of the original thirteen colonies The
following table exhibits, in an accurate light
the slave population of each colony at the
above mentioned time:
Massachusetts, $500
2 Rhode Island, Abb
3 Connecticut, 5000
4 New Hampshire, SEQ
5 New York, $4,000
6 New Jersey, 1000
Pennsylvania, 10000
% Delaware, 5000
8 Maryland, $4,000
10 Virginia, 165, 900
I'll North Carolina, $4,000
u South Carolina, 100000
Ii Georgia, 10000
/ 4
Total number Of slaves, SOC, 102
Since the year 1776, seven Of the above
original members Of the confederaey have
effected the abolition Of slavery ii their Dor
ders, viz: Pennsylvania, New jersey, New
York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island New
Hampshire and Connecticut The history
of these States warrant the conclusion that
its abolition was not owing to any prejudice
in the minds Of the people against slavery,
but because they we're unsuited for the uties
that the enterprise Of that region required,
as Developments then made showed that the
production Of the great staples Of the United
States was impossible in that climate.
