EFFEcr or THE OUrRAGEs.-Thc reliable
Havana correspondent of the New York jour-
nal OF Commerce states the following facts in
illust "a ton Of the recent outrages Of British
gllnbnat cruisers upon vessels under the flag of
the United States: Messrs. c. Brothers,
one of the most reputable and substantial
houses Of Havana, cllartcrers Of the American
brig Charles II. Frost, Sil.iman, master, to load
sugars at Sagua Ia Grande for Philadelphia or
BSton, desired 20 ship few sacks of dou-
blooms from Havana for Sagua by the brig, for
the use Of their agents and to meet the expcn-
ses of various vessels loading there for their ac
count The Offices of insurance in Havana re-
fused to insure the money at any rate OF pre-
mium for the reason that if the brig should
chance to be boar,led by any Of the birds of
prey in these waters, the BuZzarrl, Kite or
Styx, and the money should be ftnnd on board
the brig, she would lie declared legal prize
for that suspicious circumstance, and sent to
Jamaica for trial as SLAYER, while to insure
Justice and possession of the ounces the officers,
crew, coopers, &C., would be landed at some
incvnvcncnt point Of the coast, to get to Ha-
vana or the United States as they could. This
is one of the inconvenience to which we are
subjected. The distance to Sagua is short, but
the offices will not take the risk.
MARYLAND REPRESENTATIVES, VOTING WITH
THE BLACK REPUBLICANS AND FOR BLACK
RErUBLIcANs-Tn looking over the votes in
the House of Representatives upon the con-
testcC. Ohio election, we find the Know-NOthing
Representatives Of the State voting to retain
Lewis ID. Campbell, the Black Republican of
Ohio II should be remembered by the peo-
pie of Maryland, that the testimony before the
House conclusivcly showed that the said Lewis
ID. Campbell had been returned as n member,
and had been holding his seat in that body,
upon the rotes Of negroes, and that with this
fact before them. the Know-Nothing Repre-
scnsatves of Maryland still gave their votes to
retain him.
rs-v--ut., Of Mr.. MprEison HaEris may, be nm
dcrstoed. Mr.. Campbell was J =, ,IacE Rephb-
lican of the blackcst dye, and as such, the fast
friend of Mr.. Harris, while his Democratic OPP
ponent. Mr.. Vallandingham. could not be cx-
pected to vote to keep Mr.. Harris in the seat
he is occupying by open fraud and shameless
outrage upon the rights of the people Of Balti-
more. How Mr.. Ricaud will account to his
constituents upon the Eastern shore for his af-
tiliation with and support of abOlltioniSts, we
shall wait to see. The facts show that Know
Nothingism and its representatives are ready
to associate with any party or sustain any
principle which may promise to keep them in
power.-BGh. Republican.
A WORD IN FAvoR OF MoDERArIoS.-The
Boston Traveller, in referring TO what 1T deems
u premature attempt to warm the blood oi
the nation" ventures word in favor Of moder-
alton. 1t makes the following sensible sug-
gestiUns:
"The occurrence Of any thing 10 cause i'll
blood between the United States and Great
Britain at this time, If growing out OF Govern
ment action, affords singular contrast to the
numerous instances of friendship that Ameri-
cans have experienced at the hands of English
men during the last four or five years. The
manner in which the sick crew OF the Susque-
hanna were treated, spontaneously by English
naval authorities, may well be allowed to of
set dozen exhibitions of power by ignorant
men acting under orders which they do not
fully understand. The conduct Of the Here
fortishire towards the John Gilpin is another
noble instance of English humanity developing
itself for the benefit Of Americans. When the
San Francisco was a wreck, and an American
regiment was in danger Of being lost with her,
it was a British ship staid by her, and gave
that moral encouragement and active assistance
that worked 10 the saving of so many Ameri-
can lives. It is short time since the COM
mander of British man-of-war threatened to
bring his guns to bear upon town in San Do
mingo if the authorities Of it allowed any in
Jury to lie done to Americans. Other instances
might be named of the sane kind, all showing
that the English do not bear themselves hostily
towards us, but as brethren"
