a ES ET EE TE TT LT ST TA RAE ee EO OE A PE 2 OE SAE Wery Interesting from Martinique. Manriniqus, St. Pierre, Set 9, 1848. Since my last letter, dated July Ist, 1543, I have to remark but little change in the political state of affairs in th’s island. The commussary-general continues to explore the country, as I previously antormed you, with the best 1utentions and desire ‘to re-establish order and work on the estates; but very unhappily for him and the whole community, his good counsels are immediately overthrown by some rascally ma'efactors (presumed to be of the colored class), who make it their business to follow at his heels; and, as soon as he has left the premises, they appear, and, in a few words of evil advice, destroy, eventually, in the mind of the Jaboreis the good impression they might have de- rived otherwise. The strictest search 13, how- ever, made, to discover these evil propagandi, to whom the severest punishment will be awarded. ‘Of course, it will easily be perceived from this, that feelings of the bitterest animosity against the whites 18 still engendered by the other classes, and instilled into the negroes, chiefly by tne mulattoes. This state of things cannot possibly Jast much longer without causing s me ocular de- monstvation on the pait of the authorities. The elections for the purpose of nom nating re- Ppresentatives of this colony to the National As- sembly took place here on he 16th, 17th, and 18th ‘ult.; and, much to the general sutistaction, passed off in a quiet and orderly manner. Ot tne three chosen and elected candidates, viz.: Bissette, Sehelcher, and Pory-Papy, for this island, the ater is the only one a resident here; the two for- mer being in France This Mr. Pory-Papy 18 a | mative of this island, and a mulatto lawyer by pro- 4ession, and mayor of this city at the time of his momination to the Nutional Assembly. His per= sonal demonstrations during the eventful days of the 22d and 23d of May last, in favoring the blacks in their object, and his conduct since the emanci- pation (otherwise untavorable.te the interest and security of the whites), has, beyond a doubt, se- cured ‘0 him the majority of the public suffrage; | but whether the validity and the form used in these elections will be considered as regular and Jawful by the Assemblée Nationale, in France, is yet a question, On Sunday, \20th August last—and as we were, gs it was, rejoicing ourselves of the peaceful and | orderhke manner in which the elections had been conducted, as a considerable excitement and | tumult was apprehended as accruing therefrom— ‘we were all at once thrown icto the utmost con- fusion and alarm, caused by the menacing atti- tude of some of the blacks and colored people, ‘who appeared as if determined to renew again the terrible scenes that preceded their liberty; all was confusion in the streets, and the hour 8 o’clock in the evening. The doors of private dwellings were | heard bolung, and the ery ‘ to arms” resounded everywhere. Finally, the military were on the alert ; night posts were doubled, and soldiers pa- trolled the city in every direction. Then the mayor, Pory-Pay y,} and the military commandant, eacq on horseback, visited the principal parts of the city most addicted to revolutiona: mots, &c , &e.; and, soon afterwards, Mr. Pory- Papy returned to the city hall, and there solemnly pledged himeclf tor the pacific intentions of the | @ob, as also for the undisturbed quietness of the towu during the remainder of that mght. Mean- while, the civil and military authorities lost’ no time in securing such as appeared the ringleaders, and all others that were armed in the streets. From the many arrests made that night, and dis- closures resulting therefrom, it seems that the only cause tendered for this intended or pre- antended attack and revolt, was that the rioters had been given to understand that there had been Meeting of the whites that same Sunday morn- ang, at the Botanical Garden, (near the city,) which had in view the purpose of assassinating ‘their popular and most beloved candidate, Pory- Bavy. Of course, such a statement is most absurd | and mest fallacious; and the generality of the | whites here are upt to think, and that most natu- rally, too, that it was an ill-devised scheme ot this | Mr. Pory-Papy, to impress on the minds ot all in this colony, and in Frauce, the excess of his vopu- Jarity with the blacks and mulattos, and the danger | perhaps there might be, in case the roceedings an his election were not confirmed. Be it as it may, we shall slways bear in mind Mr. Pory- | Papy’s adieus to St. Pierre. 1 shall add, that the police, by direction, entered and searched several suspicious houses, and found an many of them a certain quantity of ropes, neatly taliowed and preyared, one end of which is fastened to a stick, and at the otherend to a clipping noose, These articles of art, so well adapted, indeed, to arouse curiosity, have different appellations—they are known in Mexico as “ la- seros,” and are called here ‘“cabouyats.” It seems that they can be applied to different famiitar usages, among others that of strangling people, | and illustrating the lamp-posts with their bodies, | Tem happy to inform you that the magistrates | seem, at length, willing ‘and capable to throw off | the lethargy in which they appeared to lull them- selves with such an apparent complacency; and, to that effect, will record the judgment that was yendered the other day, at the court of assizes of. Fort-de:France, (Fort Royal,) against the two blacks, named Destin and Leandre, convicted as the ringleaders of the coalition, and the insti- gators of the riots that occurred in the latter part | of June last, on the estate of La Pointe, in the district of the Frangois, under the management of Mr. Walley Clerc. “Destin was condemned to five | years’ reclusion, and Léandre to one year’s im- priscnment, avd for five years deprived of all civil aights ond privileges. _ : ‘ | r. Tane, lately arrived here in the capacity of | attorney of the republic, is a man of very great ener- and esteemed capable of tully carrying out the juties of his important ¢ffice. Himself and hhie second substitute, (Mr. Pierre.) accompanied | by six gendarmes, visited, on Wedaesday last, -Gih inst., 1n the distiict of the Precheur, all the negro huts suspected of concealing stolen articles deriving from the pillage that took place during the riots that overtook this district on the 22d May ast. Many articles were found in this razzia, copaiating of furniture of all descriptions, mattras- ges, bedclothes, porcelain, &c., &c., but the miss- ing jewelry and other articles of gold and silver, hhavenotyet beenfound. | | By decision ot the Commissaire-General, of 30th August last, Mr. A. Agnis, (mulatto,) has been nominated Maycr of St. Pierre, suj Pory-Papy, elected representative of the people to the ** National Assembly,” and who left in the last steamer of that month for Enrope. Also, by an act of 21st of same month, the go- vernment has decreed the issue of 32.100 notes, or bons de carsse, for the amonnt of 1,500,000f. ‘These Sons will be circulated in five emissions of 300,000f. each, and which be issued according to the decisions of the Commisesaire-General. This finarcial measure has been adopted to remedy, | in a measure, and if possible, the distress of the | colony in money matters, and the want of nume- | rary in the treasury. From Ist inst., this paper 18 to have an unristricted circulation throughout the whole island—great fear is entertained, however, that this system will prove a failure, and may, after all, cieate many difficulties with the laboring classes. . The Board of Commerce, of this city, having | been duly informed that the supply of flour on the | 2d day ot September, amounted only to 906 barrels | hastened to petition the Commissaire-General to allow the immediate importation of 1,000 barrels | American flour, lessening alo the duties on the same to Sf. 50c. per 200 barrels. This, of course, | has been granted, but with the following restric- tions :— 28 “That there 1.000 barrels are to be imported exclu- | sively in French bottoms, and within two months of ‘that period only” i In support of what Ihave mentioned in a previous letter to the Herald, in regard to the critical situa- | tion of our market, and what it would be about | this time, it 1s well to say, that the inhabitants feel surprise d that the local government should, at such | a cris's, and st a time when the actual necessaries | of existence are missing, enforce auch restrictions | over foreign importatzons, and when, also, at the | Teast, the ports of the island ought to have been aid open. On the 2ist of August last, some parts of the Island ot Guadeloupe suffered cons‘derebly from the eflects of a hard blow, nearly approaching a ‘ hur- ricane,” which lasted from six. P. M., to twelve, P M. In the portion called Grande-Terre, the plantations suffered much, many wind-mills | were blown down, and several sugar houses | have been materially damaged. At the poit of the Moule, the shipping sustained a greatdeal of injury. The brig Castor, of Mar. | seilles, with a full cargo of sugar, was wrecked | on the rocks or reets at the entrance of said port, Itis reported, also, that many of the leeward aslands received the effects of this storm. Strange to say, the Island of Martinque was spared, and | ‘we hud even no indication of it. | Iwill now close the present letter. Itis a very | Jong one, I fear; but in which is encompassed the principal events that have occurred since my lust, and which, for the present time, agitate our litle colony. It yqu think it worthy to give it some at- | tention, s«me portions of it may prove Interestin: to such of your readers as have lately emigrated from this island to the land of ‘milk and honey,” and I might add, aso, of the “free and happy,” | and who, notwithstanding, have left behind them | athe wreck of their fortunes linked to all the ea- dearments of a native place. i | N.

TAYLOR. Baurimonr, October 14, 1848. The Election Excitement—Speeulationus to Cases —Democratic comfort from Ohio—Theatricals. The despatches received from Ohio yesterday, announcing a great democratic victory in that State, and which 1s now pretty generally credited, caused quite a revival of the drooping spirits of the democrats, and © Ohio is a gone coon,” was their response to the jeers of the whigs as to the fall of the old citadel of democracy, the Key Stone State. Our politicians, of all patties, are fzuring and speculating as to the probable cause of the unex- pected result in Pennsylvania. Some attribute it to over confidence and general apathy among the democrats, and others, to the tact that Longstreth, the democratic candidate, although 4 strict Quaker all his life, has recently joined the Catholic Church, which gave especial offence to the old Pennsyl. vania Presbyterian Dutch. The real cause of the change, however, I think, is free soil. It 1s evident, from the full returns of such counties as have been received, that there has been at least fifty thousand voters in the State, who have neg- lected to vote; that there is no increase in the whig vote, and that these voters were formerly all democrats. It, therefore, seems to be more than probable that these missing voters are those at- tached to the Van Buren faction, who, having” severed themselves from the democracy on na- tional politics, also stood off from them in the State election. Herr Hecker, the great German patriot, arrived” here yesterday, and caused quite a stir among our quiet and plodding German population, ‘The Holliday attest theatre will, be opened net week by its new lessees, Messrs.

They have had crowded houses during their entire stay. Puiapetruta, October 14, 1848. Polttics—Sudden Death—Franklin Institute, §c. The excitement among our politicians is ap” proaching to fever heat. Reports which seem te have been manufactured for the purpose of induc- ing those interested in making bets, are now afloat. By some, Longstre th 1s elected Governor by 0 majority, and others plaee the election of fainter, the democratic Canal Commissioner, beyend possibility of a doubr. Crowds are gather- about the various publication offices, anxious to hear the contents of the latest despatcnes, and | as they favor one party or the other, they give vent to their feelings by cheers. A case of sudden death occurred this morning, near the House of Refuge. A carpenter, while in in his shop, fell suddenly back and died in few minutes. ud The Franklin Institute exhibition opens on Tuesday, and the depositors are bringing forward their inventions and manufactures very rapidly. A great variety of machinery will be in operation | on the lower floor of the Museum building, driven by an engine made for the Institute espe- eially for these exhibitions. ne Axpany, October 13, 1848. The Calculations of the Strength and Prayects of the Free Soil Party, founded on Conversations with Martin Van Buren and other Leading Members of that Party—Curious Exposuion of the Views of the Triumvirate of the Democracy—Benton, Van Buren, and Calhoun—The Van Buren View of the Struggle. The results of the recent elections in Pennayl- vania and Ohio prove that the free soil party witl wield a powerful influence in the approaching Pre- sidential election: J am aware that any statements which will enable the public to form some idea of the expectations and designs of the leaders of this party will be highly interesting at this particular crisis. Hence, t am about to give you the sub- stance of some confidential conversations which have recently ‘taken place between Martin Van Buren and others, Br eels to the strength, and the present and future policy, of the free soil party. ' The mv vement, they declare, is comprehensive and natural, not local. It looks to permanency, and while arriving at immediate suceess, pitch its view beyond to the plain and visible mark of °62. It embraces in the State, not cule gash sagacious politicians as Martin Van Buren, Flagg, ‘oung, &c., but a host of ardent and enthusiastic minds among the: younger class of politicians, headed by that brilliant young man, Johu Van Buren. ‘e cannot believe that a cause can be a forlorn oné, or anything but an auspicious one, when such a man as Judge Gardiner throws him- self into it, or when Dix stakes upon it a rep) tion fast rising to be the first 1a the nat.on. It is to the vast and eventually controthng army ot young men that these leaders look tor security and crificing attitude which they have assumed. It is owing to the presence of this body. of youn, | men, and the confidence they inspire in regar | to the future, that this comparatively hopeless | party exhibits a zeal, a contidence, and en- | thusiasm, that. neither the military nor ervil characters and services cf Cass or Taylor have yet elicited in the old organizations. Tne free soil party, however, professes an entire wil- | lingness to submit their enthusiastic views to the | cold and chilling certainty of an aritametical cal- ecwation, They claim to be able tocarry the pend- | ing Presidential controversy into the House of Re- presentatives, and there they insist that their chances are as good as any of the candidates, if | not better. They put down as. certain for them New York, Verment and Wisconsin, and a plu- rality in the popular vote, 1f nota elear majority in Massachusetts. In this State they contend the. Cass party will not poll any considerable vote out of the city of New York—probably not more than 30,000 and certainly not more than 50,000. ‘This deficiency the free soil men will make up cut of the seceding whigs, the abolitionists, and the anti-rent and national reform parties. The whi: vote will be diminished largely by the abseace of | dissatisfied voters from the polls. #Here isan eg- ‘ timate made by Martin. Vaa* Buren afid bis inti- mate friends. a The vote of Silas. Nvirights im pad, was 240,090 against 231,057 tor Fillmore. ¢ bate buraers. expect to poll two-thirds, at least, of the aemo- - cratic vote of 44, and if they do it, their aecgypt* will stand thus :— Pirect free soil vote... ...

The whige acknowledge that theiy aggregate may be diminished by 50,00 Van Buren’s majori- ty in the State, it is caleulated, will be not less than 40000. [This estimate 14, of course, in our judgment, too high.) ‘The erghth district, heretotore 12,000 strong for the whi will go. for Van Buren, if it Toes not actully reverse its majority. With New York for Van Buren, neither Cass nor Taylor can receive the popular eleetion—but it must go to the House, No candidate ever succeeded without New York, and the tree soilers exult in the omen. But they count upon more than one State, The Cass men in Vermont have two alternatives pre- sented to them—to run and show their strength, ‘or to vote with the Van Buren party. Tn an active confidential correspondence with the present poli» ticians in New York, it ts asserted they will take the latter course. The whigs, in the recent elec- tion in that State, expressly stipulated that the | victory was not to enure for the benefit of Taylor, | and itis believed a number will vote tor | Van Buren. It the popular vote does not give the | State to Van Buren, the enoice will be thrown om | the Legislature, where there 18 a decided auti- | Taylor majority. ‘The small number of Cass men
