Neao Orleans, July 26.-The steamship Gran
ada arrived here last night, with dates from
San Francisco to the 9Th instant, and from
Greytown to the 2lst.
The steamship Illinois left AspinwalI for New
York, with one million six hundred and forty
thousand dollars in treasure.
General Walker was inaugurated President
on the 18th instant
Rivas still holds possession of the town of
Leon, and many of the natives, considering the
Inauguration of Walker usurpation, have de-
clared against him. Among the deserters, are
Colonel Member and General Chillon.
Much sickness prevailed among Walkers
troops, and frequent desertions were taking
place.
The excitement in San Francisco continued
without abatement. The Vigilance Committee
were still in session. Judge Terry, of the Su-
preme Court, had been arrested, for stabbing
one of the Vigilance Committees policemen,
whilst he was making arrests.
The Committee are firmly established. The
Governor remains at Sacramento.
The accounts from the mines were good, and
agricultural products were cheering.
The conduct of Mr. Herbert at Washington
excites general Indignation.
In Oregon, Indian skirmishes continued.
Colonel Wright was not killed, as previously re-
ported. Colonel Buchanan had had battle
with the Indians on the Big Meadows, in which
forty Indians were killed, and ten whites.
The Oregon election returns we're not all in
but the Democrats, it was considered, were vic
torious.
All the arms collected by the law and order
men in San Francisco had been seized by the
Vigilance Committee.
Mr.. Durkee, of the Committee, had been ar
rested, on the charge of piracy, for seizing arms
belonging to the State, from schooner.

OBITUARY.

Died on the 10th instant at the house of his
son, John NJ. Crothers, Esq, OF Oswego, (Il.,)
Rev. SAMUEL CROTHERs, ID. d., of Greenfield,
(Ohio,) in the I'D year of his age. Some weeks
before, he had stroke of apoplexy, from which
he had partially recovered, and had preached
few times. He left home TO visit his children
in the West, with a strong impression upon his
mind that he would not live to return. The
event verified the presentiment. On Sabbath
evening" in a moment-in the twinkling Of
an eye"-he was dismissed from earth 10 his
rest in heaven. On the 23d, the church to which
he had ministered with great fidelity and sue
cess, and the community in which be had lived
more than forty years, "carried him to his bu-
rial, aud made great lamentation over him."
DIR. Crothers was very able minister of the
Presbyterian Church, 70. ST. He was one of
our earliest and most powerful Anti-Slavery
writers. His zeal in the cause Of Freedom re-
NAMED undated to the last. H. S. T.

INDIANA-THE THREE CONVENTIONS, 18TH,
10TH, AND 18TH INSTANT.
To the Editor of the National Era:

To the Editor of the National Era:
DEAR SIR: To give you some idea of the
spirit 1.-THE letter you may have SEEM of the par
ties in our State, now write. The Republi-
can party had grand Convention on the 18th.
Though no orator, expected from another State,
was here, there were enough of State speakers
to interest the people in different parts of the
State-house grounds during the day. The his
tory of the proceedings l shall not pretend to
give. There were many banners covered with
the sentiments of Liberty-full enough for one
days reading-and, if acted cut, to make Kan
sas and all our Territories free, with all Gods
earth. The enthusiasm was great, and it seemed
as though the people felt the fire of Liberty
burning in their bosoms. There is something
in the cause of Freedom to make q man feel
(if he is man, and he is not satisfied to enjoy it
himself) that he wants every other man to enjoy
the same blessing. Now, tell you, they are
getting up more than "T;ppecanoe and Ty-
Ter too" fire here. If this were all, it would new
er melt me into love. They resolved "heartily
to embrace the Philadelphia Republican plat
form. If they did it "heartily," they must have
tasted of the good word of life, ana the pow
ers of the world to Gomez" for, if understand
language, there is Republican religion in it.

ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA.

Halifax, July 28.-The Cunard steamer Ara
bia arrived here this evening, from Liverpool,
with dates to the 10Th. Three days later than
the Indians advices.
The negotiations III regard to American re-
lations with Great Britain are reported to be
progressing favorably.
A revolution is raging throughout Spain, and
there had been two days of fighting at Madrid.
Considerable failures have occurred at Man
chester.
There is but little other news of interest
Theinsurrection in Spain commenced at Mad
rid on thel5th, where the National Guard, assist
ed by the citizens, fought the regular troops for
twenty four hours, with much loss on both sides ;
but the affair was finally suppressed.
One account says the insurgents had pro.
claimed republic.
Gen. IDfante, the President of the Cortes,
headed the instruction.
Another account says the instruction was
not suppressed. General O'Donnell had been
appointed to the municipality of Madrid, and
had declared all Spain to be in state Of siege.
He had also dissolved the National Guards.
General Infante assembled minority of the
Cortes, but General O'Donnell dispersed them.
The revolt extended to SaragoSsa, Aragon,
and Barcelona.
1t is reported that France will send an army
of observation to the Spanish frontier.
The latest dates from Madrid are to the 10th,
when the instruction was said to be entirely
subdued.

From the Charleston Mercury.

The third resolution OF the new Platform
adopted by the Democratic Convention reads
as follows:
"Resoloed, That the great highway which
Nature, as well as the assent of the States most
interested in it's maintenance, has
marked out for the free communication between
the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans, constitutes
one of the most important achievements to be
realized by the spirit of moderation, in the I'M
conquerable energy of our people; and that
result should be secured by timely and eff
cient exertion of the control which we have a
right to claim over it; and no Power on earth
should be suffered to impede or clog its prog
ress by any interference with relations that it
may suit our policy to establish with the Gov
ernments of the States within whose dominion
it lies and we can under no circumstances
surrender our preponderance in the ed ustment
of all questions arising out of it."
1t breathes the same spirit of aggression, the
same assumption of superior right to conquest
and dominion, which marks the assertion of the
Monroe doctrine. This great route lies to the
southwark of the great inland seas known as the
Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean sea. On
the extreme northern border of these waters,
near the coast of Florida and the Southwestern
States, the United States hold domn MON over
few barren groups of islands, while in the midst
of them Spain has the rich colonies of CUBA
and Porto Rico, between which is the great
island of st. Domingo, to the southwark of
which is the long established and once valuable
British colony of Jamaica; and on the eastern
border lie grand group of islands, the posses
sion of England, France, and Denmark.
Such is the condition of the seas separating
the United States from that great highway of
travel and trade over which it is now proposed
that the United States shall assume q prepon-
derance" as a natural right. The distance be-
tween our most Southern possessions and the
nearest point of this "great highway q is very
nearly equal to the distance from New York to
the Capes of Florida. Yet this ocean.gap of
one THOUSAND miles, thus filled with the estab.
lished possessions of four European nations, all
of whose rights date back beyond the period of
our Revolution, is to be coolly taken possession
of by the Democracy of North America, who,
themselves late colony from Europe, are to
assume thai they alone, OF ali the oftshoots from
that llustrious ancestry, have the right to hold
dominion in this Western Hemisphere. The
pretension is not only absurd, but it is often
sive. and we see no good to be gained by it.
All that We want 10 o lree passage acrbss the
Tsthmus and for this object, oil that we need
and ought to ask is, not preponderance,n but
equality, and this no European nation is dis.
posed to deny Us. This equality 10 the tue

earth, and it is the claim, open or covert, of
preponderance, that has caused two-thirds of the
wars of civilized Europe. Are the Democratic
party prepared to drive their ship upon such
perilous rocks as these? And when they come
into power, will they so abuse it as TO leopard
BY this wild and desperate game the national
character and peace of the country; and this,
too, when every object really of any value to us
in the matter can be obtained quietly and with.
out buster or violence? The truth is, these
6ibustering propositions were adopted as CRATE
full to the lawless spirit which pervades so many
quarters of the country, before which conssrva-
tism and the rights of other nations are of no
consequence. But, as we have already stated,
our hope is in the character of the nominations,
and in their restraining influence over fanati.
cism thone and aggression abroad.

"ASD you TOO, BRUTUs 1.-The Savannah
(Ga.) Republican, after quoting the extract
from the Ostend circular which appeared few
days since in the Erening Post, says:
"The strocious proposition is here advanced,
that if Spain will not part with Cuba for price,
we should wrest it from her This is the argu-
ment of the brigand, who proceeds to take the
purse of the traveller who has the temerity to
refuse to yield it up. Whatever else may be
said of Mr.. Buchanan, we do not think that this
chapter in his history will advance his claims

world and that it is our fixed purpose to bring
the actual perpetrators of these atrocious out
RACES, and their accomplices, to a sure and
condign punishment hereafter.
"5. Resotced, That Kansas should be imme-
diately admitted as State of the Union, with
her present Free Constitution, as at once the
most effectual way of securing to her citizens
the enjoyment of the rights and privileges to
which they are entitled, and of ending the civil
strife now raging in her Territory.
g. ResotUed, That the highwayman's plea
that might makes right embodied in the Os-
tend Circular, was in every respect unworthy
of American diplomacy, and would bring shame
and dishonor upon any Government or people
that gave it their sanction.
81. Resotocd, That a railroad to the Pacific
Ocean, by the most central and practical route,
is imperatively demanded by the interests of
the whole country, and that the Federal Gov
eminent ought to render immediate and eff
cient aid in its construction, and, as an auxilia
~ thereto, the immediate construction of an
emigrant route on the line of the railroad.
80. ResotDed. That appropriations by Con-
gress for the improvement of rivers and harbors,
of national character, required for the accom-
mediation and security of our existing COM
merce, are authorized by the Constitution, and
justified by the obligation of Government to
protect the lives and property of its citizens.
80. ResOtced, That we invite the utilization
and cooperation of the men of all parties, how
ever differing from us in other respects, in sup
port of the principles herein declared and, be-
leving that the spirit of our institutions as well
as the Constitution of our country guarantees
liberty of conscience and equality of rights
among citizens, we oppose all legislation i'm
pairing their security"

THE LATE RAILROAD DISAsTER.-Sixty.s
lives are now known to have been lost by the
late calamity on the North Pennsylvania rail-
road. The wounded probably exceed one hun
dred. The list Of the dead, which we publish
in another column, is the first complete and
correct one that has been made, difficulties of
various kinds having interfered TO prevent the
reporters from procuring accurate statements.
Many bodies were burned almost to ashes /:
some were so mutilated as TO be totally beyond
recognition; others were unknown for some
time, although not materially dis6gured. But
the catalogue of the dead, which we give to-day,
comprehends all, we trust, that persisted by the
disaster.
So fearful a destruction of human life has
never before occurred on any railroad in the
world; and the circumstances Of the destruction
were of so frightful nature as to add materi-
ally to its horror.
Verdict Of the Coroner's Jury.-That the
said collision was oecasioned by the criminal
negligence of Alfred Hoppel, who, as a con-
ductor, was in charge of the excursion train,
running from Philadelphia to Fort Washington,
and who carelessly and negligently ran his
train beyond the siding at Edge Hill.-Phila-

THEY WON'T BE ENTHUsIASTIC.-The Demo
cratic organs are complaining bitterly that all
their efforts to get up some semblance of enthusi-
asm are unavaing. The New Orleans Delta, a
Democratic organ, speaking of the nominee of
the Cincinnati Convention, says:
"Though his nomination has been duly rati.
fed according to ancient formulas, yet the OBJ
server cannot fail to note an absence of that
popular enthusiasm which his fuglemen predict
ed would follow that event. In the North, all
parties, except the national remnant of the Dem
ocratic party, are merging into the black fusion
which concentrates on Mr.. Fremont, and in the
South and West it is becoming evident that he
must rely for his principal strength upon the
platform annexed in which the people recog-
Mise the ideas of Douglas, although the Conven-
ton, in its shallow wisdom, refused to let Doug
las stand upon it in his emphatic way, as their
candidate"
