ScorTvILLE, (Ky.,) June Is, 1855.
We have glorious and thrilling news to report
you from old Allen. Notwithstanding Democracy
has regned predominant here ever since the
county has been established, and the long, loud,
and humbugging speeches that have been made by
the political demagogues Of the day, who would
sacrifice principle, and even sever the vital cords
that constitute the vitality of this glorious repub-
lie for the purpose Of riding into office upon the
ruins thereof against the American party, we find
many Of the gallant sons Of America buckling on
the armor, and certifying themselves well for the
approaching contest. And though the enemies
Of the American party are heaping upon them
misrepresentation and vtnperations OF the bases,
character, IL Is the better qualifying them TO dis
charge the duties they owe TO their country, and
to arouse within them the feelings and spirit oil
TO, which has been dormant in them 30 long, that
Il seems some Of our citizens have nearly forgot
ten the impulses and motives that moved their Il.
lustrious srss, and caused them 70 sea the Decla.

Americas Shore
The better 10 enable you TO Judge Of the
progress Of the American party in our section OF
country, will give you an instance
On the 18th instant, while Col James Bates was
delivering a speech In opposition 10 the great
American party, there we're ten worthy cit gems

we see that every attack that Ia made 70 defeat
this great American movement, only tends to
lengtben its cords, and strengthen It's stakes. We
can assure our friends that old Allen county will
tell well at the August election.

From the Charleston Mercury, 18TH
Highly Important from Havana Free
Cuba Going over to England.


We have received from high and perfectly re.
liable source intelligence Of the most interesting
character from the Island of Cuba. The pacific
turn which the relations between Spain and the
United States have recently taken, has thrown
complete gloom over the prospects and hopes of
the Creoles. Despairing Of receiving aid from the
United States Government, and their friends here
being prevented by the neutrality laws from going
to their assistance, they haps, Il seems resoived
upon desperate leap for freedom. They have
determined to revive the original idea of Lord Pal
merston, of throwing themselves into the arms Of
England, which was not agreed to at the time, be-
cause Of the condition OF the abolition OF slavery.
The new Club Of Independence now consent to
admit Of gradual emancipation, in order to obtain
from England guarantee of independence, and
they have referred the subject not only to Lord
Palmerst IN, but to the abolition societies Of Eng
land and France. From the recent rapid and in.
creasing enlistment Of the blacks, numbering now
ak thousand men, and from other indications, the
Cubans are convinced that the desire Of Spain is
to Africanize the island, and they are willing to
anticipate her in the design II, by it, they can Sc
cure the protection Of England, and deliyerance
from Spanish oppression. The announcement Of
such scheme cannot fail to excite attention in all
quarters of the country

The GRElTrsr BALLOON ASCENSION KvrR MADR.--
On Friday morning last eronaut whose name
We have forgotten, made an ascension from Adrian,
Michigan. He was entirely unaccustomed TO the
art, having never before sscended; but he was
provided with stout, new balloon, and was gifted
with determined pluck. The erostat rose grace
fully and swiftly, and took course with the pre-
vailing wind, towards the southwest When last
seen with telescope the balloon appeared mere
shining globue, and suddenly Il shot up, and went
out Of sight. Nothing more was heard Of the ven.
turous air explorer, and apprebensions began to
be entertained that he had been lost his want Of
experience and his ambitious determination,
evinced In the throwing over Of the ballast to the
last moment seemed TO give cause for this anxiety.
The fear was that he had recklessy assembled until
the balloon could no longer withstsnd the expan-
sion of the gss and Il had burst and destroyed him.
But last evening despatch was received by q
gentleman in this city, which put an end TO all
alarm, and sttested the most remarkable series Of
facts ever connected with balloon ascension. He
landed about eleven hours after leaving Adrian, in
Clarion county, Pennsylvania, having travelled du.
ring the time distance Of 470 miles He froze
both his feet, in the high upper regions Of the at
mosphere; but landed, except this injury, unburt
We do not think that the annals Of ballooning
mention any ascension 30 remarkable in all par.
ticulars. - Buffalo Democrat.
