NO. 5147. ews om NEW YORK, SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 9, 1848. Affairs of ipenemains ane the New York eraid, [Translated from El Republicano, Caracas, 10th May.) In No. 6,024 of the New York Herald, under dato 28th Feb. last, we find an article, evidently seat from this city, both ubsurd and infamous for Vene- zuela; and it is singular that such an eminent paper as the Herald will allow a place in its columns for aguch false and infamous articles against ihe liberal party in Venezuela, a party which has striven, and 1s still striving, to establish in this part of the American continent those same politica! principles which are working so felicitously among our Northern brethren. We regret that among the, free and enlightened inhabitants of the banks of ¢ Hudson, the bitter voice of calumny has been. Taised, to inte the great and§patriotic acts of the memo: 24th Junuary. On that day the People of Caracas made the greatest stride’ the we ever yet made in their career of independence and liberty. An ambitious general, at the head of an oOligurchist party, had reigned (dominaba) for man} over the Venezuelians, and had ar- | rived at suc a pitch asto impose the most debasing | slavery on them, and he smouthed off this tyranny | by sarcastically invoking the names of ** liberty” and “order” to annul the popular right of suffrage, and govern in spite of public opinion. ‘The Vene- zuelians have employed constitutional means to temove from his post of power this ambitions general, who, sustuined as he was by the majority of our military men, a great portion of the clergy, and all those Venezuelians inimical to liberty and di principles, was making rapid shades towards the legal establishment of oligarchist principles, which from the first he desired to fix m the land; and for this purpose he employed the ublic power to annul the popular votes and elevate his partizans to the electoral colleges and Congress. By such management he prevented any ot the candidates of the popular party from being clected to the presidency, bee elevated to that office Gene- tal Jose Tadeo Monagas, who never had parti- cl in the miserable intrigues of the Oligar- jets, and because this General did not servilely bend to the will of Paez, his [apes declared war aceinet him a short time after he entered on the ine "carey ots Rl ed him » throw imgelf on the party which had previously com- bated his election. ‘his conduct was worthy of | th lauses of the Venezuclians, and the great iil party resolved on sustaining this adminis- ‘tration, which had been raised to power by the ef- | forts of Paez, who,was much irritated, inasmuch as he presumed himeelf to be master of Venezuela, and both he and all his party, in their turns, agreed to support nefarious plans with which they had contrived to wrest the executive power from the hands of Monages, and the result of their con- sultations was that they agreed to avail themselves of the power of Congress, which they would rule. When this diabolical plan was discovered, we did not hesitate fora moment in advising the course | to be pursued in the case; we showed that the people tobe called on to listen to the dispute about to be commenced by the two high constitu- tional powers. The peor le promptly answered the call, and defin ite sentence on the case ‘The mo was the first who favored this appeal, and ite editor appeared at the bar to sus- tain those sacred nights, the defence of which he assumed as a duty. He did not go merely to defend Gen, Monagas, but that sucred liberty | which would certainly be destroyed, along with the authority of the President. Liberty could not be saved, unless the executive power was saved | along with it, It was not General Monagas, then, | who induced the occurrences of that memorable day—as the writer in the Heruld seems to think nor were those occurrences for the purpose of de- fending him from impeachments pending before » No; occurrences saved our li- wberty, which was threatened by a congressional fraction, who had openly conspired to legalize ‘despotism in Venezuela. We ourselves have taken a prominent part in these acts, and we have mot, mor afe we now, particularly attached to the pereon of General Monagas; but he personified those principles, and, to defend them, it was neces- to uphold his authority. The great liberal | pert ohh hes flown to arin to detend. the ad- | ministration, has acted with the same sentiments, for the same reasons that animuted us in our -course It is not through feelings of personal affection that we have sue- | , and continue to sustain, his authority—but because his administration accords with our politi- cal ideas ; and whilst he pursues this course, the diberal party will give him their assistance, and 2 Re will sustain his administration. But should he stray from these principles, as liberals -we will combat with him; as we are strong enough to maintain our footing over oligarchy, and over- wi executive officer who shall undertake to interpoee obstacles in the way of our glorious | amertch towards the establishment of a trae repub- ic. We make there explanations in order that the eminent editor of the New York Hera// may un- derstand thatthe Republicano does not belong to the personal of the executive authority, and that it will only defend him go long as he proceeds in accordanee with the principles which its editox advocates. In this highly Stipertent te weponer Ge Herald) some vi calumnious articles agamst the liberty party aye appeared, and they have fallen so far into error as to call it the negro party. In Venezuela there are not—neither can there be— any parties of castes, for the whites, Indians and Negroes are 80 mixed, up that the line of demarka- tion is completely obliterated. It was part of the policy of the Spaniards to keep up in the minds o/ the othertworaces a great terror of the white race, 80 that this fear would deter these two rac: -whom they destined for domestic slavery, trom aig attempts at independence; and the oligarchists, who are as great caine ors and as speed the Spaniards, availed themselves of this colored pretext some time ago to force the whites, and those who pass for such, to support the tyranny of one man for fear of the tyranny of aste. Some North Americans who have believed in thi story of the arraying of castes in Venezuela, have united themselves with the oligarchists to combat the tendency which ey suppose the liberal party have towa’ rsonal slavery, and thisis the rea- son that this false stery of a negro party finds a ready in the classic land of politica! liberty. = The most singular thing is th almost all the colored men who aspire to ac social rank are of the oligarchist party, that party which is represented to be the v ni died defending this party,.of which the leader, and they are both equally white. - anal, Siso, Herrera, Hernaiz, Pereira, Wc., be- ong to this white party, and ( an, Valero, Ibarra, Urrutia, Rivas, Carabano, &c., belong to the so-called black party. It is very singular that the children of blacks should side with the whites, and that the latter should fraternize with the blacks, or form a petty against their own caste. In the same number of the Herald we read the following:— “ “A man of fatal influence in the misfortunes of our country, appeared at the end of these scones above de- scribed,’ Itwas Col, Wilson who wont arm in arm with one of the astasring, Gen, Diego O'Hara. All thecon- apiretors were continually going in and coming out at the house of the British embassy, viz., the Generals Monagas, O'Hara, and Santiago Marino; Colonels Li vo and Austria, and to these was joined one of the most wicked of them all. namely, Dr, Thomas Joseph Sanavria, a fierce and treacherous men, and en im cable enemy of his country. Colonel Wilson received them ail; with some of them he held secret confer- ences, which doubtless could not have been confer- enoes upon harmless rubjecte. pat notoriety marked out this conduct of 2 man ungrateful for the hospital- ities be has received, and ono of those who has the chief band in the misfortunes of our country.’ It would be well if this calumniating paragraph- ist would explam, or demonstrate what fatal intla- ence it is that has been brought to bear on the mis- fortunes of the country. The great mistortane which this country has experienced, has been the rule fatal administration of the el murchiist rty, at retrograde party so inimical to liberty. hia ta the only misfortune which ths country ha anet with, the same paragraphist confes that Colone! son was not favorable to the rule of this party; besides, the British Minieter has not exercised any influence on our misfortune ‘he paragraphist says that this minister appearsd at the close of the scenes of the 24th January. And how did he, appear? He appeared as. a brave and philanthropic man, who exposes his life ata eriti- cal moment, to save those of individuals whom he sees in dan; In_the midst of the popular effervescence, Colone! Wilson rushed out, and, taking a white flag, entered into the reo where the House was in session, with the view of saying those who could not get out. The British embassy, served a8 an inviolable piace of refuge for many of those who were objects of popular odinm. | ‘The paragraphist states that the conferences which were held between the British Minister and the President of the republic and his. friends, “could not have been conferences on harmless subjects.” And how does this calummi: ting seribe know thist How could he divine that conferences held between.a foreign ministér and several pub- lie tionuries, turned, of not, on subjects favor able to the misfortunes of the country of those functionaries? It conld only be an oligarehiet who could conceive and write such nonsense, ‘We should be glad to sce explarnod those acts which deronstrate the perverseness of Dr Tomas | | occasion to reply to en artic | appe Jose Sanavria, as we are not aware that he has exercised any more influence on our politics than the efiorts that he made during the last elections to elevate General Blanco to the Presidential chair ; that same Blanco who has been taken with arms in Ins hands, defending the oligarchist conspi: tors. The most prominent act of Dr. Sanavria these times, has been his support of the principle that the municipal coun sils have the legal power of annulling the votes those casting them, the which react in faver of those who now detract from them. We should be glad if the correspon- dent of the Hrrald would point out the acts which Dr. Sanavria has been guilty of, that, in his opin- ion, merit the epithets he applies to him. We will conclude this article by begging the enlightened editor of the Herald ‘to rectify his judgment of the liberal party of Venezuela. ‘oLumnus, Ohio, June 29, 1818. Proposition to Post-up the Whig Party Action in Ohio—The Existing Dijficulives Among the De- mocracy. I have been engaged for several days in posting whig sentiments as expressed through the several whig newspapers of the State, and as promulgated by many whig leaders in private conversation and in public speeches, and in a day or two hence, I will be enabled to forward a tolerably correct balance sheet of the present state of the whig party in Ohio. It is no trifling job, this posting of whig sentiments. I have, however, uadertaken the task, and so far as labor, energy, and a de- termination not to shrink from’ facts, how- the readers of the Herald shall have a faithful re- port. : In the meantime, J wish to say a word or two of the democracy, thyir troubles aud position. The present is, without doubt, .& Most extraor- | dinary canvass, Never have political affairs as- sumed so peculiar a turn in the developements of the attempt to organize parties on the old plan. For one to say that he belongs to the whig party, conveys no longer any meaning ; further explana- tion is required, before we can know whetiier he favors this, that, or another principle, or measure, or candidate. Equally so with the democratic party. The truth is, in regard to the latter party, it is now merely a “democratic” party, which is a different thing from being a party of “democrats.” ‘To say, I am democratic, is one thing; but to be able to say, I am a democrat, is another and a much stronger position. ‘To hurrah for Cass and Butler, even, does not carry with it a necessary knowledge of the principles and measures one is in favor of or opposed to. Party organization and principles are separated—have become distinct prepositions for consideration. Consequently, we may find in one crowd a vehement advocate of the anti-slavery proviso to the newly acquired territory give his consent to support Gen. Cass; in another crowd, we see one who from first to last denounced the war with Mexico as unholy, wicked, and un- Just, give his consent to support General Taylor. Again, we see a man wh dies tobe a democrat of many years standing, say, that, he cannot vote for Cass, because he differs with him on this, that, | oranotherpoint. Another one says he is a whig, and will not vote unless he can vote for a whig, & full whig, a known whig, and who will sustain the whig party, and, therefore, cannot, and will not+| vote for General Taylor. a Ifence you see, the democracy of Ohio are far from being harmonious. The connection of Gen, Butler’s name with that of Cass, had. the effect on the receipt of the news of the nominations, and for scme time alter, to suppress all feelings of dis- satisfaction, or disinclination to yield a hearty support. Time has developed this to have been the fact; for, while we begin to hear numerous expressions of objections to General Cass among democrats, all—all, are satistied with Builer, When the telegraph brought the news to this city, that Mr. Van Buren had written a letter of approbation and acquiescence to the Utica Convention, and that probably he would be nominated by them, for President, it was immediately ramored, and the rumor gave evident satisfaction to many demo- érots, both among the citizens and of the many visiters then here, that the same convention would srebate the nomination of General Butler for fice President. It had been stated that the barn- burners’ delegates, while at Baltimore, expressed themselves satisfied with his nomination. Had the Utica Convention done this, immediately a strong response would have been sent trom Ohto, and a «Van Buren and Butler” electoral ticket brought Jehn Brough, of the Cmeinnati Engurrer, had icle of censure whic d in the New York Evening Post, when bh tock cecasion to repel the imputation that he we inimical to the barnburner movement, although in Obio he supports the Baltimore nominees, _ Insten of such a feeling, he says: ‘We sympathise truly and sincerely with them, and regtet that they compelled to take a position which, to us in Ohio. appears wrong.” The truth is, there is a good deal of apathy among the Ohio demoer: wards the position of the New York barnbur And, if » predent and proper step is taken by them, and a satisfactory selection of candidates is made, there will immediately spring up in Ohio a party in their fupport. I learn that Salmon Shaw, the representative of that strong-hold of democra Fairfield county—is ¢0 open and decided an ady cate of the proviso principles, as to propose an in- dependent ¢ i support of a * provise”” candidate for } My opinien is, that elements are now at work which will inevitably lead to such a movement. Whether sucha movement, agreeing mn senti- ment and object with the New York barnburn would be likely to reecive countenance and support from the whivs who are opposed to ‘Taylor, will depend upon the course pursued by the same class of whigs im the Hast.

Corumaus, Onto, July 1, 1848, Abstract from the Whig Party Ledger of Ohio State cf Accounts Anterior to the Philadelphia Convention, §c., §. twill be recollected that the whig State conven- tion, in January last, referred the subject of pres dential candidates to a committee of twenty-o that, after a protracted, animated, and somewhat embittered discussion, the cominittee reported a general resolution of “ submi of the national convention, preference. In this discussion, the claims and merits of General Taylor received but mre support. Corwin, Clay and Mele absoibed the attention of the delegates. Clay received the strongest support. The no-preference position was adopted, through the maz ment of the Corwin men, who considered ita great victory merely to prevent an expression favoring Mr. The Clay men, in submitting to th committed a great error, and a stiil ater, by subsequently agreeing to an endorsing resolniion of Mr. Cot- ein the Senate.

These men controlled the convention. They opposed Mr. Clay, in the hope that his overthrow would be on grounds whieh could not fail to i Mr. Corwin es the most prominent candidate. They expected snother letter from Mr. Clay on the ter- ritory question, on Which they could hinge a vea- son for his defeat, and that the same reason would point to Mr. Corwin, as the man for the times.

Cen we wonder that these party intriguers are now, muny of them, in sackcloth and ashes over the result of their own labor!

How hard 1t was for Judge Thrall to fall into. n War, met with their man to whose skill nd for the success i ranks” and keep step withthe command of the Philadelphia Convention may be inferred from the tenor of the following opinion, given in the State Journal a short time before the convention, and which is the mildest thing the Judge said of Gen, ‘Taylor, previous to the nomination: * The qualifications for statesmanship are not to be acquired in a day, a month. ora yoar. They can only be attained through long years of patient application, We apprehend that Gen. Taylor has passed the period of life for entering upon that investigation. A good soldier and true patriot he has chown himself to bo. It were better for bim, in our view of the subject, tore. pose, spon his laurels, than to tarnish them by appoar- ng in a character always difficult to sustain, and for whieh neither habit nor education has quatided him We do not believe that he would be likely, under the circumstances, to add anythiug in the cabinet, to the honors he has won in the ficid.”’ f Notwithstanding this opinion and many otehr hard sayings in regard to the war and the soldiers engaged in it, the Svate Jowrna! has fallon into the support of the hero of the Mexiean war. And why ? Not for the love of the ian, or his liberal Jrineinles, or hig independent position, but solely ecoure there is no misiaking the satisfaction among the people, and the joy with which they rally to the support of old Rough and Ready! The motive which influences these party man- agers to surrender to Gen. Taylor, though he dis- tinctly told them that under no contingency would he surrender to them, is fully developed by the language of the State Central Committes in‘their address to the whigs of Ohio. They say : “It would be useless and disingonuous in us to dis- guise the fact, that the candidate for President was not the first choice of a large portion of the whigs of our State. If, however, we can accomplish the objects of our political organization, by electing him, it is due to ourselves and to our country, to give him our most hearty support.” » Here,then,is a plain admission, that their hearty suppres givento Gen. Taylor, to wy the least, with the modification of an if. As much as to say: not for the sake of electing him President, will we give him our support; but if we ean accomplish the objects of our political organization, &c. . The objects of our (whig) politcal organiza- tion, de not seem to embrace, in the estimation of the Central Committee, und their advisers, the election of a whig president, but may be ac- complished by giving a hearty support to a man in whose name the people hope to effect an entire revolution in the objects to which party organi- zations have been made subservient by political hucksters. | Now, as it is well known, that scarcely without an exception, the men whe participate in the dis- cussion of the merits of presidential candidates, previous to the nomination, are themselves candi- dates either for election or appointment, or re- election, or re-appointment to oflice, under the federal or State government; we could easily sur- mise the objects they hoped to accomplish in the name of ‘Old Zack,” even if they had left us to that in forming a conclusion, But the Whig Central Committee, after claiming that the whigs of Ohio are in favor of a protective tariff, in favor of separating the sword from the purse, in tavor of | the improvements of our great highways, rivers, lakes and harbors, and opposed to the sub-treasury, opposed to wars of aggression, opposed to the ac- quisition of territory, opposed to the veto power, opposed to executive encroachments, and reli- giously, morally, politically, und uncompro- misingly opposed to the extension of slavery over one foot more of American soil. After elaiming, | im this language, the principles of the whig party to be, and, without being able to assert whether General Taylor favored or opposed, in the same | manner, these several questions of public policy, they carnestly commend }.im to the support of the whigs of Ohio. And why do the leaders make this earnest ap- peal to their party voters? Do they desire we election of Gen. Te vhs ? Fartrom it!) That he “was not the first choice of a large portion of the whigs of our State,” as the commnttee say, is not more true, than, that his election 1, still not de sired by the same portion of the whigs. But th “large portion” 1s gradually falling into his support, because they see that the still larger of the party are zealous in his favor; and, with more than usual candor, they urge a port of all the whigs of Ohio, for the re: }OW “The popular voice can carry into active operation the meastres advocated by cither, party ii behoves us all to weigh well the consequences which may follow from the votes we cast at the coming election “Either Gen.

It has, however, decwiy d and disappointed us, and we find ‘in the nownination sxother melancholy instance of the irresistible power ofeouthern rule and dictation. What wo said betore this nomination was the result of our deliberate con- victions,’ But by far the most bitter and strongest lan- age put forth against the candidacy of General Paylor of the whig paity, is that of the Lebanon Star, a paper heretofore’ regarded as the organ of Senator Corwin. Though it is, reported trom Washington, that Mr. Corwin, since his return fromthe West, has expressed himself in favor for President of the same general that led on those gallant soldiers of whom Mr, Corwin said it was the duty of the Mexicans to “welcome them with bloody’ hands to horpitable graves”—if this 15 true, then the Senator exhibits less love of professed principles and pride of consistency, than jis friend and advocate of the ebanon Star. Mr. Denny , says: twe cannet suppress our deep regret, indignation | and heartfelt mortification, at the nomination of Gen. | ‘Taylor by the whig national convention, We should , be utterly destituo of honor, of candor, and a manly independence, if we did not utter our convictions | freely, fully, and unreservedly. We have no hesita- lon, then, In declaring, that the representatives of the | whig party, at Philadeiphia, have proved reereant to | their trust, and shamelessly and unblushingly aban- | doned the great and paramount principles of the whig arty.’ ¥ In the same paper, Mr. D. says, from all he ean heur—and he has intelligence trom nearly every township in the county—“the whigs of Warren, with an almost unanimous voice, denounce an repudiate the monstrous nomination tor President jet made by the whig national conventon at Phi- jadelphia.”” Subsequently the Star publishes the proceedings of a meeting of the whigs of Clear- creek township, embracing umong the resolutions adopted, the following :— “Kesolved, That we unequivocally disavow the no- mination of Gen, Taylor as the whig vandidate for Pre- sident, and regard with decided approbation the con- Guet of those members of the Ohio delegation who withheld their assert to it—having only acted tho part of true whigs, faithful to the principles of their party and the interest of their country. | “Resolved, That we can but regard this nomination as lut ancilier instance of the unscrupulous sacrifice of political integrity to a servile defence to Southern | dictation, and to the meanest prejudice of a certain | class in the North.” 4 It remains now to notice the recent liberty and | free soil convention, in this city, held on the 22d | inst., and to “post”? its origin, maturity, and re- | sults to the account of the present state of the whig party, so far as it may be legitimately charged to | it, oT was im Cincinnati at the time when the | “eall” for this meeting was put forth, and knew at the hme the object to be, Ist, for effect upon | the action of the national whig convention; 2d, | (in the event the first object should be successful) | to solemnise the perfect union of the whigs pro- | per, and the abolition portion of whigs, and to or- ganize for harmonious action. Copies of the call ‘were circulated in several counties, and after their return, an uggregate of over three thousand names was published, as signers to it. The “ effect” contemplated was, that the whig national conven- tion would regard this strong and evidently de- | termined demonstration, so certain an omen that | the “ Western Empire ” State would be inevita- bly lost to any southern candidate, a contingency which could in no manner be encountered without | total defeat; that, without a doubt, that body would | exercise the wisdom and prudence thus demanded, | and nominate an “ anti-slavery”? man. Had this * eflect” been realized, there remains not a doubt but we should have witnessed one of the largest | al gatherings ever convened in the western | with a result which would have carried | one in Ohio like a whirlwind. seareely say, that in the nomination of Gen. Taylor, the three thousand signers, and all who favored the movement, failed in realizing the | effect they had contemplated. This being the lact, | therefore, the part intended to be consummated in | the second object of putting forth the call, could | not be realized. And this accounts for the com- parative small number that w present at this | Convention. I was ubsent from the city at the time, but [have had all that is essential to a cor- | Teet opinion, reported to me.
