Foreign News.

New York, June 3.-From Havana per stea- mer Black Warrior, we learn that the Captain General is raising black troops. He has issued an address to the Director General of arms, etc. on the subject in which he says he is resolved that the banners of Spain shall wave at all ha- zards in Cuba. Another address has also been issued, ordering lists to be prepared throughout the island of all persons liable to military duty Considerable excitement was occasioned on the 24th by report that party of Americans had landed at place called Chomera, about lea que west of Havana. Troops were immediately sent to the spot, but the report proved to be a false alarm.
 The French and English officers are still be- ing feted by the Governor.
 Four Americans from Key West, belonging to the surveying department, who arrived at Ha- vana, had not been allowed to go outside the city walls Pezuela is stated to have said that he had European reputation to gain, and was determined to gain it by emancipating the slaves of Cuba.

Inconsistency.

The Arkansas Whig, in cutting itself loose from the southern whig party and joining the abolitionists, in their opposition to the repeal of the Missouri compr6mise is guilty of an act irreconcilable to its declarations. It occupies position that it cannot defend before its whig friends-a position that it cannot justify to its own conscience.
 It characterises the Missouri compromise as "mjiust' to the South and 'wrong in princi- ple" yet denounces, in its bitterest style, those who have advocated its repeal.
 In this strange course, what are its motives? Why does it urge tame and pusanimous sub- mission to a measure that 1t declares to be un- just' to the section of country in which we live, and "wrong ill principle?" Is there any virtue in such a course? Is there any manli- ness? There must be some motive for such cringing submissive policy. Is 1t to be found in tratorous utilization with the abolition en- emies of the South? Its course certainly gives color to such a suspicion. A Southerner of manlness and independence could never be brought to counsel submission to a measure acknowledged to be "unjust'' to the South and wrong in principle" while the constitutional power was in his hands to throw 1t off. Hence the Whig stands almost alone, while large tives in Congress have advocated and accom- plshed its repeal.
 The Whigs course is any thing but commen- dable upon any national question. Though it approved the compromise of 1850, it followed the whg convention, composed chiefly of free soilers, when it threw over Fillmore, the great apostle of that measure, and fastened upon the whig party Gen. Scott-a man opposed to 1t in feeling and in principle.
 The Whig surrendered it's principles and sub- mltted to the sacrifice of the friend of the South, to obey the behests of convention that disregarded and trampled upon its rights as Southerner.
 And It IS still pursuing the same course It still approves the compromise of 1850, but de- nounces those gallant spirits in Congress, both whigs and democrats, who have the temeritv to carry out that compromise to the spirit and the letter. It characterises the Missouri com. promise, which is incompatible with the com- promise of '5O, as "unjust' and wrong in nrin- ciple, and, in the same breath, denounces those who have the courage and the manlness to de- mand its repeal. Such is its glaring inconsist- ency. It is too weak to comprehend the sub- ject it discusses, or too prejudiced to do it jus tice. Well may it whine out "What are we to do"' It stands alone-its own party has thrown it off

Later From California.

The U. $. Mail steamship Fl Dorado, Alfred G. Gray, commander, arrived at New Orleans on the 5th.
 She left Aspnwall on the 3Oth ult., at II P. M., with the California mails and passengers.
 Steamship Geo. Law was to leave Aspinwall next morning, direct for New York, with $1,- l34, ,OOO m treasure, the mails and about 400 passengers
 From San Francisco we have news by the Golden Gate, up to the evening of the 16th ut. Col. Walker and his smell band consist ing of thirtythree men, had arrived at San Francisco, having cut their way through the Mexican forces to the boundary line of the Uni ted States, and there gave themselves up to Major McKinstry.
 Walker and his party are now in San Fran cisco, relieved on their parole of honor, await ing the action of the civil authorities.
 A very destructive fire occurred on the 12th ult., in the city of Yreka, by which property to the amount of $15O,OOO was destroyed.
 From Lima we have news up to the 11th May. The Peruvian transport Mercedes, bound from Casma to Callao, with eight hundred troops on board, struck rock near the mouth of Casma harbor, and went down almost imme- diately, drowning Capt. Noel and 731 of his countrymen. The Government steamer Ra- mac rendered every assistance, but without ef- fact

After the adjournment of the senatorial con- vention large number of democrats being pre- sent they organized a meeting by appointing Col s. c. FAULKNER, chairman, and w. A. MILLS, secretary. The proceedings of the se- netonal convention were explained to the meet ing by Collector, and the nomination of Col Totten was then unanimously ratified.
 A committee of five were then appointed by the chair to report suitable candidates for Re- presentatives of this county. The committee appointed were l. c. Mills A. J. Hut, Leon Letevre, Chas. Lewis and J. J. Thompson- They reported the names of Col. H. M Rector and Jared c. Martin
 Col Rector desired earnestly to be excused but his name was voted upon and he was unani- mously chosen. Also Jared c. Martin was chosen by exclamation. After some very ani- mated and interesting remarks from Col Rector and MT. Martin, which were enthusiastically received, the meeting adjourned

 Saturday, June 10, 1854.
The true Democrat., 1854-06-13
Opposition to Conventions.

The Gazette has an editorial and also an anonymous communication strong y condena- atory of conventions. It is beginning again that rebuke in the last Governors election, the de- mocracy thought i5 had repented of.
 To destroy the force and virtue of conven- tions, is immediately to destroy the democratic party in this State, and place it in hands of the whgs. This must be the object of the edito- rial and communication above alluded to.
 The editor of the Gazette generally attends all conventions in this county and participates in them. If he is defeated in his wishes he condemns them He was a participant in the convention held here in April last, and endea- vored to get its endorsement of his candidate; but he failed, and hence now his spleen against it. Why, if 1t was large enough to endorse his friend for Congress, was 1t not sufficiently large to endorse any other democrat? Why, if he thought 1t large enough to endorse his friend for Congress was it not large enough to endorse democrat for State Senator, much lower grade of office? Will he answer these ques- tions?
 What has been the recent effect of conyen- tions? Has it not been to give us a candidate for Congress, Col Rust, whose abilities, all atl- nit, are of the highest order? Has it not been to give us good candidates, in every instance, where nominations have been made-and too, what is more, to give us some prospect of suc- cess by uniting the party upon single candi date? Why then these continual complaints? We do not hear such from the people? They always endorse the candidates of their party and give them their support The dissatisiac- ton proceeds alone from those dissatisfied as- pirants and office seekers whose preposterous claims are disappointed.
 We are a strong advocate of conventions be- cause we desire the triumph of the democratic party-because we are for principles and not men. It is a small matter whois the candidate, so he is Honest, capable and Jait7,tul," and no convention would hardly nominate any other sort It is measures we advocate and not men,
 We are sorry to see the Gazette taking to it's old disorganizing course again. We shall only have the trouble of again whipping it in.
The true Democrat., 1854-06-13
Democratic Nominees.

Last Saturday was a glorious day for the democracy of old Pulaski. The senatorial con- vention, though minority one, we are satisfied has given, by the nomination it has made, entire satisfaction to the democracy of the district of Perry, Prairie and Pulaski counties. In pre- senting the name of Col. B. c. ToTTEN, it pre- sents to the democracy the favorite of the Prairie county democracy. For him, Pulaski county will do her duty. She will give him cheerful and hearty support Let only Prairie and Perry do as well, and with the democratic strength of the district, he will be triumphantly elected to the Senate Col. B. c. ToTTEN is gentleman well qualified by experience and long and intimate acquaintance with the wants of the people, to represent this district in the State Senate with advantageto them and credit to himself. We are proud of the manner in which the convention passed oil, and of the nominee they place before hepeople. We hoist his name at our mast head.
 Not less fortunate was the nominations of candidates to represent the county; Messrs. Rec tor and Martin are two of our most substantial men. We'll known to the people by their long residence among them, they will be sustained and supported with the greatest enthusiasm. The name of JARED c. MARTIN is familiar to all A residence in this county of thirty three years has connected him so intimately with its interests and its progress that better selection fora representative at this important crisis, could not, under any circumstances, have been made. Who can doubt of his triumphant election?
 Col. Henry M. Rector is equally well known in this county. With the exception of resi- dence of few years past in an adjoining coun- ty, Tss has lived in this place from boyhood.-- The people know him and esteem him as honest, capable and .faithtM With mind we'll stored with valuable information, and a heart filled with every generous sentiment, Col. Rector is the man to represent the county of Pulaski in this approaching session of the Legislature.
 We present a strong and mvincible ticket In the whole list, there is not name but that would do honor to the democracy in the Legis- lature Let us then give them cordial support, and for once, show our opponents that we have the strength and the courage towin the victory.
