intelligence from Havana, reiterates that
much excitement prevails there concerning
the Presidents message. but affords no basis
for the belief that a revolutionary movement
is contemplated. The general tone of the
advices is such as to warrant the assertion
that the intervention of the French Govern

pose
While it is repeated that the authorities at
Tampecha have through the efforts of the
Captain General of Cuba, satisfied the claims

CAN THEY UNITE2

The recent speech of Mr.. Seward, at Roches-
ter, seems to have created much CONSERVATION in
the Opposition ranks, and has almost destroyed
the brilliant hopes entertained few months ago
by certain politicians, Of efiecting thorough
union Of the Know Nothing and Black Eepubl-
can parties for the campaign of 1860. The doc
trines enunciated BY Mr.. Seward were 50 purely
abolition in their tendencies, that they at once
alarmed the Know Nothings who regarded tbs
Union as still worth preserving, and even what
may be called conservative Republicans condemn
them. No party Or clique approves them, cx-
cept the genuine AbolitiOnistS But Mr.. Seward
has band of devoted followers in the opposition
ranks, wlo determined to sustain him and
hi: doctrines, and who will not acknowledge any
other man their standard bearer in 1860.
They will not be persuaded by any means, to
support either Crittenden, Fillmore or Fremont,
while the friends Of those Statesmen are equally
hs stile to Mr.. Seward. Our impression now is,
that the opposition Will have at least two. per
haps more, candidates in the field and that the
Democracy will find but little trouble in tri-
umphng over them. 1t cannot be denied how

Democrats, are, at the present time, pursuing a
