It scems quite certain that some aid has proceeded to Cuba from the Southern States, and a few days only will elapse before we shall hear some decisive news asto the character of the insurrection, and as to its pro- gress and extent. The returns of the Wesern elections come in alew!y by telegrapn. They indicate gonerally that Meotucky is gradually becoming democratic, aod may have elected the democratic Governor; that lodiena remains demceratic a9 usual; and that Alabama has sustained the Union ticket by alarge majo ity, showing that the poople of that State are eppeced to secession movements. This i# coatrary te the expectation of sion democrats in that and other Southern Sta’ We bave two accounts of execations which have tékeo place in Maryland. The executions of Taylor, Murpby, and Shelton, are described as having been conduc ‘ed with disgraceful carelessness. We ean- not pause to comment on an account so revoltiag to the imagination, but must say that the authori. | tics at Chestertown merit censure for not providing for a more reepe stable execution of the law. Frou various places we learn of distrossing casu- altics, all of which will claim the reader's attention. Beuth Carolina Pollties—-Secession and the New Party. very recently, the secession movement in | arclina seemed to be driving that State gto what they call separate State action, ven the skeleton of @ party to resist it. ‘This separate State action signifies nothing less than a dissolution of the Union by the solitary secession of the State of South Carolina. The len is radical, and cuts at the roots of the contro- versy with the North. It is to deslare the State out of the Union—to set up a separate govern- ment, end to hold the United States as they hold , the rest of mankind, ‘‘enemics in wa, in peace friends.” We say that the movements towards this revolution and dissolution, 1 very recently, in South Carolina, have driven all resistance be- fore them; and have elected a State Logislat senda State Convention decidedly ia favor of this terrible policy of separate State action—aad elected | expressly to act upon the subject. Calm and dis- Pewionate men, in the face of these facts, began to deapair of South Carolina. But within the last three months a counter move- ment and an opposition party to those of the ex- treme policy of ceparate secession have Leen openly wtarted in the State. And, all things considered, it hat prospered remarkably well. We expectevery thing of this new party. It is not a Union party, South Carolina is too far gone into the illusive temp- ations of disunion, to tolerate yet awhile an avowed Union party—in favor of the Union per s¢, and for the sake of the Union. Nothing of that sort. Time enough for that, by and by Tae Stace cannot be veclaimed at a single jump. But the new party, eppored to immediate and separate secession, takes the ground that the movement is impolitie be- avee it would fail; that the co-operation of several Soutbern State it uecessary to effect a disvletion of the | mon, and the emablishment of a conleaerary, upon tLe basis of Southern in that will stand. They take the ground that while ieolation will be destruction and fina] submission, that cooperation cannot possibly fail; and that by rimply waiting a little longer, co operation will certainly be secured, and that thas the South wil) be surely, and efficiently, and permanently re- Heved of all governmental connection with the Northern States; for the Southern States com- bined will thus have the power and the means o! establishing a *trong, commanding, self protecting’ and capable government of their own—a govern ment capable of commanding respect, as well as efScient to protect its inetitutic This is the platform of the party in “~ srolica opposed Lo separate recession, and y party by which awe expect the State and the Uniou to be saved.

Judge Butler, Langdon Cheves, ) Barnwell, Mr. Burt, and ether leading men, at or tines the late Southern f ‘ onventiog at Charleston, publicly ranged thomeclver in the ranks of this co-operation party. A central gan has been established at Charlertoa—an active and | which is ably seconded by the | Greencille Patriot, in the western corner of the » State. From all that we cam learn, the petty ie Brthering strength, and confidently cvante upon being able to control the Logislatare, and the State ‘Convention, against the policy of separate seces- sion. Their plan of divunion is certainly more Plaurible, practical, and methodical than the other. A few days ago, at their meeting’ in Charleston, they tarned out in large numbers, and passed strong revolutions in favor of the poliey of co-operation, as the most ficient plan for practical vocession; and, in a community where disunion is the one universal idea, the arguments for co- ‘Operation rally a strong party to their support ‘The question here recurs, bow ic the State to be saved by this ev-operation party, the declared ob- | ject of which is dissolution of the Union, and che erection of s Southern confederacy?

At all events, while we have reasons for doubts and apprelen- slows, let us bope for the best. While there is life there is hope. Tero is life yet in South Carolina, and there is yet hope to bring her snugly back into the Union Ly co-operation. | Mr. Webster's Classical Quetations—Sty | Hints ond Artful Inuendees. The felicity and appropriateness of the clas sical quotations of the great New Fngland orator baye often been admired, even by his mort violent political opponests. His oration at the laying of the foundation stone of the evlarged Capitol at Washington, on the 4th of July, bas been published in pamphlet form, and a motto placed in the title page, which we regard cant of the real opimions of the Secre:ary of State, on @ great topic that has for some time engrossed the attention of the people of this confederacy, and is second oply to, and in fact, closely connected with the perpetuity of the federal Union That ques- tion is the annexation to this confederacy of coun- tries adjacent and contiguous to our borders, but not at the present time under the panoply of our constitution. We are rejoiced to notice this, as Mr. Webeter has hitherto been regarded as being on the opposite to the popular side of that great question. If we are right in our notion, be has fully redeemed himself from that objection, which would have been an insuperable obstacle to his elevation to the Presidency in 1852. Mr. Webster’s position, as head of the department for foreign affairs, doubtless | restrained the expression of his views upon this to pic, in a mode that might have given offence to the governments now governing the countries alluded | to, or excite them to alarm; and yet, unless we egre- giously mistake him, he hae quite significantly told those gove nments, and his countrymen also, where may be found the Sybiline leaves on which is recorded | the future proud career of this people, unless they mar thei: glorious destiny by their own mad folly and perversencss. itis said that Augustus Covar entertained the design of removing the capital from Nome to Troy. Horace wrote an ode, to induce bim to abandon his project. The poet imagines the gods in council as to the destiny of Rome, and that Juno announces» that so long as the capital is undisturbed, she will flourish, and conquer all other nations, and annex them to herself, aud thus ber power will ultimately | extend over the whole earth. Colonel (Quintus Ho" | ratius Flaceus was a thorough going, whole hog apnexationist, and had he lived in these days and been acitizen of the United States, he would un- doubtedly have been “a manifest destiny man,” and gone for the acquisition of Canada, New Bruns- wick, Nova Scotia, Bermuda, the Bahamas, Ja- maica, Cuba, Porto Rico, and Santo Domingo, and for “swallowing atl Mexico;” likewise {all con” tiguous territory. The ode referred to displays the flilustero sentiments of the poet very plainly, though we doubt, from the style in which he glided away from the battle of Phillippi, if he was altogether as brave a soldier as Quitman, o, even equal to Lopez. He certainly showed in that affair that his opinion was, ‘the better part of valor is discretion Now Mr. Webster has extracted from this iden- tical filibwstercrian annexation ode, the motto for the title page of his oration, in these words :— : Stet Capitoltum Ae nomen te tities iextendat oras.””. We preter giving the context with it; it will then be fully understood. The object and design of the yearned and sagacious orator, in selecting this | motto, will then be seen. Mr. W. never does any- | thing of this sort unmeaningly, or without a motive or purpose. His classical quotations always have a | point in them. There are pregnant inuendovs in al] of them. The ode reads thus :— Tum Priami Paridisque busto Ipeultet armentum, et catulos fere Crlent toate aoe Capiialiom "4 Horrenda late nemen in ultimas Eztendat ovas, ae wodius big wor Secernit Kurcpen ab Afro. | tumidas rigat arva Nilus Avrum irrepertum. et sic meliie situm (cuumn terra celat spernere fortior, (Quem coyere buinanoe in urus.

Horrenda late—whethor from a desire to avoid the imputation of boasting, or threatening, in a manner wabecoming his officiay } position, or a wih not to excite apprehension and uneatiness on the part of other governments, was ite proper sud commendable. It was meet in bim to avoid giving cauze for any to take umbrage, | or seek for explanations, which might procipitate matters; and yet it wae an admirable stroke of diplomacy to thus admonish them, in @ manner taat is unmistokeable, y nnot be answered, of what is tocome. Some, disposed todo Mr. Webster great in- astice, have invidiously eurgested that the omittel | lines were expurgated because Mr. Webster didnct coincide with the seutiments they express. There no apology or excuse for cmasculating and mu- tilating the works of an author, by quotations made ar ix this motto, except the constraints of delicacy and duty we have adverted to. Ordinarily, it would betray a paucity of classical attainment and re- sources, for an author to be obliged to tear, with ome rude part of two diferent sentences from « Latio pom, and juin the disunited fragments, in order to make a motto fora pataphiet. If by such process the incaning of the poet is perverted or dis- ee A, the act is inexcuseable, and de a de- tion harsher than ‘' blumer” or“ bad taxte.” , ia thie inetence, the wee of these dijerta mom- a pata, \f for the object we suppose, is jus ifiablo. There is | ttle pertinency in the motto, discoanected from the context; and, indeed, we may say, auless | the whole ode is considered with jt. lesides, expur gation for the motive imputed, (ax we conceive, mort j unjustly to Mz. Ww.) would Betray an cagerness to be unma: an wnwemly volunteering to cramer end trugh\e, not consistent with the high toned let- ter to the Chovalior Hulsemann.

If either of them ventures to call on Mr. W. for an explanation of that metto, he will ; get it to his heart's content, we doubt not. telligent man, who reads aod reflects, ean fail to discover what idea Mr. Webster intended to eon- rey by the selection of the motto, He otviousty | wished to point his countrymen and “the rest of | mankind” to that ode, as the written programme of the future career of this confederacy, If domes. tie diesensions and disunion do not step our “ ap. werd and onward” course. “ Stet npitolium ful- gene" Let this brilliant capitol stand,”—" Tyi- wmphatiegue possit Roma ferox dare jura Melis — and “feree Rome triemphant, gives law to the conquered Medes," Morrenda jat) momen in uit i- mas cxtendat “* Torrific, let her name be extended abroad: the plain and downright Yankee ! feation of all whic No ia. | aud | Pettee am "revere the Federal ! * be tedious to go into particulars,) and if any body interferes with us, why, we shall give them a little taste of New Orkane, Buema Vieta, Contreras, Chapultepec, and so forth.” By this reference, Mr. Webeter bas quite significantly, (we had nearly clipped out the words “shyly” and “artfully,” bat we are glad that we did not, as some captions critic might, perchance, have accused us of disrespect,) efieeted the declaration and avowal of sex:iments which, if differently announced, might cause alarm, @rise to augry exception.

PPITOR NEW YORK MERALD: Dear Sir—Will you permit the son of James Jefferson Wilson. formerly Senator from New Jersey, to correct. three errors into which you bave falien in your brief, and generally accurate biography of the U States Seow tore from that State, You attrituce J.J. Wilson's resignation of his seat to the election of a substitute, and state that he was in the oe Legislature rubsequently. amd died at the age of ears, He resigned on account of il health—was never after | in the Legistature—and died in 182i, at the age of 42 + yeare—from the disease which compelled him ¢o relin- quich his seat in the Scuate. Yours respectfully, W. D. WILSON. Remarns.—In our notices of New Jersey Sen- ators, we raid of James Jefferson Wilson, that = He resigned in January, 1821, we believe, in conse- — quence of the Legislature of 1820 having refused to re- elect him fox another term. He died about 1625, aged 55 | years, Our information in this case was obtained from a Jerseyman who was in the Legislature of 1820, and | we, of course, relied on his recollection. Ii seems | our informant was mistaken in these points which, though perhaps unimportant with general renders, we cheerfully correct, in accordance with | the above request from the son of the late Senator | Wilson. | ‘The Crops in the United States. ‘The advices from the North and West continue most cheering. The wheat crop is larger than ever before known, «xcept in Iowa, where that, as well as the oat crop, is an almost total failure. In Wisconsin, the erop has becn msteriaily injured by continued rains, and | most ofthe wheat ie rotting im the fields, In some por- | tions of Wisconsin, the potatoes have suffered a great — deal from rot, and it ie suppored that not mere than half | acrop will be produced. The most Important, at this | time, is the cotton crop, about which there are many | conflicting statements. It is probable, however, that an | average crop will be made, as it has been greatly revived / by late rains. In Arkansas, the drought continued up — to the despatch of last advices, and the impression pre- vailed that unless there should soon be @ plentiful sup- | ply of rain, a total failure of crops would be inevitable, | In Tennessee, the corn crop will fall short full one-third; _ but the cotton, im the lowlands, is represented as excel- _ lent, and promises an abundant yield. In the uplands the drought har been severe, and the crop has been in- | jured about one-fifth. In the lowlands of Louisiana, the cotton crop is good, end it ix probable a very large crop Will be saade, or has already been made, for there are sel- dom avy plants, which produce the staple, that fill the Dols after the first of August. It can, therefore, be easily | ascertained what will be the probable amount of cotton preduced by the present ropearance of the fields. The drought. which has been so severely felt throughout the cotton growirg region, came on much earlier than usual, | and continued until it was time the crop should have | been made Throvghout the wheie South, the corm crop will be universally short, and it is very doubifal if suf- ficient will be made to supply the demand in that eection. | A drought in June ix generally fatal to this crop, unless | the «prirg is iate.

As the etenmmer approached, she did net eppear to alter ber course, and ove of the crew, ramed Joveph C. Saow. who had’ musket, fized it to | attract the notice of those on board the steamer. The | look-out of the rtesmer wae heard to ery out to the offieer of the deck—*A_ vereel @head!” Of this the officer tock no notice. ‘The lock-out was heard a second time | | to give notice cf the proximity ; still no notice was | ! taken, Upon the third cry of the look. out, the officer of the deck exlicd ovt “ Port your helm!” but it was too | late. and the change in the course of the steamer at this | late moment only precipitated the calamity, The steamer, joing nearly twelve knots om hc ur, struck the schooner im the stern, carrying it away partially, and swinging | the ve-rel round, one of the pnddle-wheels struck and parred lengthwise over the deck, orusiog the bulwarks and Iraving the vessel a perfect wreck. The rteamer | porecd on for a considerable distance before her headway | eculd be checked, and when she had again reached the wreck, the eren, fifteen im number, were up to their | Wairte in water, ‘They were all rercued but one, a young | man named Joseph C Snow, 18 oF 19 years of a; | ing to Orleans, Muer, Tn refurence tovhls lore. t e captain | stetes that when be last saw him he was standing by bis | ride Oa deck, At the time of the collision, the captain | Turhed down into the cabin to rave his son and another — lad who were there. 1¢ is suy ed that Snow was strack by the paddle whee] avd crushed to death, or carried } overboard.

The total tom of property is shout $6 (00, on which there is no insurance. The own- ers of the Florence cluim thut the Cunard company are Mable for damages. How that may be, we cannot say, but certainly the conduct of the officer of the deck, if corrcetly stated by Capt. Higgine, was highly repreben- it ible.

The effect of the late break-down im the market will ulti- mately be # gocd one. It may tench speculators to operate more civtiously and keep within safe limits, so that when any pressure comes upon the money market, they tony not be forced to submit to any sacrifice. Most of” the leeding railroad stocks run down daring the recent penic much more rapidly and to @ greater extent than We supposed possible under almost any circumstances ; Lut we see, in the sudden depreciation of even the best securities, the effect of a withdrawal of confidence and sn ordinary contraction in the supply of money.
