Flunkeyism at Newport, X. L.

The absurd exclusivcneSs and arrogance
Of the leaders OF fashion at that well known
watering place, Newport, II. l., had like to
have been the occasion of serious riot s.
few nighls since In order to keep the
amnd sills " at proper distance, on the
evening of the great ball at the Ocean
House, Col. Magruder, the commandment of
the fort, surrounded the avenues leading to
the hotel with detaChmentS OF soldiers, who,
with no superiluOus waste of courtesy, re-
PEELED all who ventured near the sacred pre-
cinct:. The popular Indignation was fast
reaching fever pitch, when the Mayor
drove up in his carriage; even he was re-
fused passage, and inSulted grossly by a
sentinel. But he, feeling that the city over
which he prcsides was treated with indigni-
~ in his person, sent for the manager of the
ball, and inquired the meaning of so re-
markable proceeding oftorecd eXcIusiveiSm.
The latter gentleman referred the Chief Mag
istrate to Col. Magruder, who, on being re-
monstrated with, said he would remove his
men in the course of the evening
The Mayor" But, Colonel, must insist
on their being ordered OFF Immediately, or
shall have them taken up AMI put in the
watch house
Colonel VI. complied speedily, and the
troops were withdrawn and sent back to the
fort. This appears to be an extraordinary
service Oh which To detail L. :. Troops in
garrison. This exceeds the abuse of using
the public ships for the pleasure parties o.
the President and the members OF his Cabi-
net.

\ Democrat of the old school, writing to
us from Poseyville, on Friday, requests US
to notice le-ser purporting to be from Po-
SEVILLE, published in the Enquirer on Thurs
day, giving an account of political move
ments in that vicinity. The article is too
grossly false, he thinks, to have been writ
ten by any man living in Poseyville or vi
cinty. There is no one so reckless of truth,
as TO make the statements contained in IT,
to be found in all that part of the county
Instead of the Hovey men growing fewer
in numbers, every week, the reverse OF the
statement has been a fact notorious TO all
living in the neighborhood. Every Demo-
crat who had made up his mind to vote for
Hovey is working zealously for him still,
aud with an enthusiastic and confident hope
of electing him. The Democrats of that
vicinity are unanimously anti-Lecompton,
and Judge Niblack and the Enquirer have
not made n single convert in their ranks to
Buchanism. OF the .ffy Democratic voters
in the village Of PoSeyville, Jorty-seren of
them are supporters Of Judge Ilovey; and
this is ascertained by actual count. At a
road working the other day in the vicinity
there were H,rty,fUe voters present, and
nearly all If them, Democrats, and every
one was for Hoycy.
The writer in the Enquirer, under the sig
nature Buck, attempts to prejudice Judge
Hoyey by saying the New York Tribune
classes him as Black Republican Our
correspondent thinks the Tribune adopted
the falsehoOd from the Enquirer ITSELF which
has for two months been designating Judge
lIovey as Black Republican, when it knew
very well the charge was wholly groundlesS
These statements are made to go abroad
where the facts cannot be known, to mislead
public opinion, as it was generally known
b throughout the District, that the POseyyillI
Democrats were jealous and almos. unani.
nous supporters OF Judge lIovey, the articl,
in the Enquirer was manufactured to Great,
the impression in other parts of the District
that they were growing lukewarm and drop
ping off. They are not of the kind of mel
that shift with every breeze and desert (
friend or their principles for slight reasons
To them, Lecomptonism is as abhorrent a
it ever has been, and its supporters are NOR
odious than ever since they have heard the poo
and lame apologies given by Judge Niblacl
for his conduct. Our correspondent says
"a large number Of our Democratic citizen
have heard the discussion between Niblacl
and IIovey at the meetings in yours and tn
neighboring counties, and every one In
come home Disguised with Nib!ack, aud re
solved himself, to support IIovcy, and if pos
sible to persuade all his neighbors TO go wit
him. Let there be no miSgivings about III
strength Of lioyey in this neighborhood.-
We are stcadIast in our convictions. an,
would rapidly increase our rank and file
three were any left to convert. W.

FoRyEY AND THE PREsIDEyT.-The Wash
ton correspondent of the New York Herald
SAYS that Mr.. Buchanan denies having had
any conversation with Mr.. Forney OF
the character representedIhy that individual
in his recent speech at Tarrytown, New
York. The Washington Union reciterates the
same statement and pourS flood of abuse
upon Mr.. Forney, in reply to which the
Colonel publishes the following card:
When spoke to the electors at larry
town. New York, did so upon the deliber-
ate expectation that from the impenitent
calumniator and convict of the New York
Herald down to the pensioners Of the
Washington Union, would be ahundantly
traduced and misrepreSented. An Admins
tration which | assisted, not inconsiderably,
to elevate TO the power which it has baSely
abused, has not hesitated to make an honest
difference of opinion the pretext for
prescription extending to my business and
to my most intimate relations and am
not surprised at the spirit which my re-
marks at Tarrytown have created in that
quarter. This is to state that | shall calm
" await the accumulation of all the accu-
satiOnS of the Administration and its agents,
when, in my own way, and in my own
good time, will prove all that have writ
ten and spoken as to the gross betrayal OF a
great principle and a solemn pledge, and
still further establish the justice and strength
of the position of THE Press and Of myself.

he stated that he called the crew AFT. and
said to them that he purpOsed to go into the
slave trade, and promised them 5000 each if
they would continue on the voyage The
Portuguese and SpIniaris were probably
aware Of the nature OF the voyage before it
was projected. All the crew acceded to the
proposition. Instead of proceeding to St.

Tobacco was also given them, and they
were exceedingly fond Of it.

plank in the CINCINNATI Platform, which de
clares for progressive free trade throughout
the world. He says, " the doctrine OF free

United States alone, and that "other gov

\ PATRIOTIC SENTIMENT FROM THE SoUTn.
Col. Orr, Democratic member of Con-
gress from South Carolina, and Speaker in
the House Of Representatives, in recent
speech ri Il barbecue given in his honor, ut
tered the following patriotic and beautiful
sentiment:
\ cobbler, in few hours, can destroy the
most splendid architectural pile; to restore
it in its symmetry and grandeur is the work
of years of patient toll 10y master mechanics.
II is easier to pull down than build up If
the alternative was presented TO the South.
of continuing in the Union "a interiors in
the rights and privileges of common gov
crnment, or 20 dissolve the Union, we should
not hesitate in choosing the latter Neither
States nor individuals can look upon life as
boon if it is 10 lie spent in disgrace-con-
scious of Self-degradation. Ny ardent
prayer is, that no such alternative NAV ever
come. When this government is DESTROYED.
neither you nor me, your children or my
chill lrcu will ever live TO see 50 good gov
ernment reconstructed; a government that
gives such ample protection to all the rights
OF persons and property at home and
abroad, and requires so little from the citi-
zen in return.
Let us, then, to-day, resolve that we will
cordially cooperate with patriotic men in
all sections in maintaining the true princi-
pies of the Constitution, and not only, there
by, Obyiate the necessity of revolution, hut
administer the government SO justly as to
obiterate all the alienation and discord that
pervade this now prosperous and happy
country.

with potatoes in Ireland this season. The
present crop promises to be very fine thus
far there is no, indication of the old disease
known as the potatoe rot. vt last accounts
superior potatoes were selling in Belfast and
Dublin at four pence stone, or about eight
cents peck. If our crop fails, we may get
a supply from Ireland at a moderate cost.

Be- Sir Gore Ousley, one OF the double
headed English mission to this country, has
left Washington for New York to proceed
to Central America, but will give his atten-
ton especially to Nicaragua. Its supposed
that the United States having failed to ac-
complish anything with the miserable gov
eminent there, it is a good time for the Brit
ish to try their skill. That is the view of
the British government; but in view OF our
superior interests to all other powers in the
affairs of Central America and the transit
routes, it is not likely Sir William can or
will be allowed to do anything independent
of the United States.

The Philadelphia Press, observes that in
looking over the circulars from numerous
academies, seminaries, and colleges of the
United States, one Is struck with surprise
at the large proportion of scholars from
Cuba, Mexico, and the Spanish Isles. Is it
not suggestive? In number they equal al
most those from our own States. Is il too
much to say that the opinions, ideas-edu-
cation-with which these foreign youth re-
turn TO their homes and the real moral Sua-
sion which, in the end, is to induce the
peaceable annexation to our Confeieracy of
the Queen Of the Antilles, when, in full
riPeness, she is 70 gem our midst with her
wealth, and grace our councils with undOubt-
ed American craftsmanship What is true
with regard TO Cuba is also true with regard
TO Mexico. These means of education have
already produced their fruits in New Next
CO, and in the contest for delegate, when old
Mexican prejudices and Castilian pride
sought for TIE success of Galiegos, young
Mexico with its new blood and proud pur-
pose TO emulate the Saxon energy, carries
the day with great majority.

THE ATLANTIC CABLE.-Con6dence in the
operations of the Atlantic Cable is fast dy-
ing out. The Louisville Journal says:
AT the very time when the city of New
York was celebrating with tremendous en-
thusiasm the laying of the submarine cable,
the cable itself was perfectly useless and had
been SO for some days. Not word can be
transmitted between Valentia and Trinity
Bays-and nobody at Trinity is able..to tell
why. The electrical current has died out,
and we have no expectation that it will
ever be restored.
