Donaldson, of Texas; and Mr. Nathaniel Greer, of Iowa. It will farther appear that, at the suggestion of Mr Treat, of St. Louis, anumber of the members of this National Com- mittee met, in this city, a short time ago, so quietly and unobtrusively, that neither the sachems of St. Tammany, uor even our vigilant reporters, were aware of it; and that Baltimore was resolved upon asthe place for the convention.

Bocre Suxeet Heravn Mighly lnportant from Cuba—Disastrous Result of the Lopez Expedition, By the arrival of the steamship Cherokee at this port, last evening, we have received intelligence frem Cuba, te Sunday morning last. The news thus received is cf a very exciting and important character; and the details, written in blood, will be found in another part of this day’s Herald. It will be seen, by this intelligence, that the expe- dition which left New Orleans under the command of General Lopez, Colonels Pragay and Crittenden, and a number of other distinguished military men, and numbering some four hundred and fifty por- | eons, afier cluding the vigilance of the Spanish, American, French and English vessels of war in the ‘Cuban waters, succeeded in effecting a landing at Cubanos, about forty miles from Havana. The reports which have come to hand are very vague as to what the expedition did after landing; but, after bearing them all, we are led to believe that a sanguivary engagement took place at that point, between them and the Spanish troops, in which | fifty of the former were taken prisoners—not, how- ever, before they and their associates committed dreadful slaughter on the government forces. The fifty who were taken prisoners were shot by order of the government. Their names will be found in another column. It is said that the Lopez party killed upwards of nine hundred of the Spanish | soldiery during the engagement. ‘This intelligence will create a tremendous ex- eitement throughout the American Union, and the inhuman manner in which the American prisoners were treated, before and after their execution, will, if we are not very much mistaken, create a feeling against the government of Cuba, which mothing but sanguinary revenge will appease. In undertaking that expedition, those that com- posed it knew, of course, the risk they incurred, ‘and were aware of the fate that awaited them in case of their failure. They never imagined, however, that they would suffer such brutality, and such inhuman treatment as was, according ‘to all accounts, inflicted upon them, not only by the Spanish troops, but by their officers treatment that would disgrace a nation of savages. If sush is the epirit which animates the Spaniards in Cuba, ‘they are unworthy to be ranked among civilized people. But this is only the beginning of the end. ‘The conquest of Cuba by Americans was never popular among our people, nor did the project ever receive much favor from them. But they had a right to expect that common decency would be observed towards those of their countrymen who hazarded their lives in the undertaking of assisting the Creeles to become independent. ‘That decency was not observed. On the con- trary, the course pursued by the military aa- thorities “of Cuba, towards the unfortunate Ame- ricans who fell into their hands, places the Spanish in Cuba beyond the pale of civilization. The consequence will be, in all probability, that mine out of ten of the American people, North, South, ast and West, will be im favor of Cuban in- dependence, ard, sooner or later, will effect it. The intelligence which we this day publish will create & furore that will know no bounds. in the meantime, we learn that the insurgen's ‘are making headway in almost every part of the fgiand, as will be seen by cur correspondence, re- ceived by the Cherokee, to which we particularly direct the attention of our readers. We perceive that a meeting is called in the Park, at six o’ slock thie evening No doubt it will be well attended. Convention—Cariovs and important De- Velopements. We publieh in the ample columns of our Heralil, to-day, a series of nos: remarkat portant letters on the subject of t National Convention, and its candi platform, for 1852. SatisGed of their a we have been taken by surprise at the plan of operations which theee letters d less than at the strange fraternizing of incongrucu elements which is exhibited. Upon a cursory examination, this eorreepondenee ‘Wears the plausible face of @ disinterested inter whange of opinions in reference to the two primary questions of the (ime and the place for the National Democratic Convention of 1452.

The name of | Prince John is only wanted to make it complete. | But, individually, in this matter-of-fact correspond- | emee, there are many amusing and apparently | hopeless contrarietic: Mr. Croswell goes for standing square up to the Fugitive Slave law; Mr. Treat recommends that every thing should be kept dark till about January; Mr. Hallett, of Massachusetts, gives some good | advice, and thmks the old Bay State a cypher; Mr. | Ritehie, of Virginia, goes heartily to business, | totally unconscious that there is anything but meal ! inthe tub; Mr. Andrews, of Maine, knows all about it, is quite enthusiast», declares that Texas is ‘*some pumpkins,” and that General Sam Houston is the man for Maine; Mr. Forney, of Philadelphia, is brief and cautious; and Martin Van Buren, ag usual, is decisively non-committal, though quite happy at the auspicious complexion of things ; Judge Woodbury thinks the party ought | not to stand upon trifles, but should unite for the essentials, which is most excellent advice; Joshua | R. Giddings, of Obio (and how he got into this strange company it behooves the whigs to inquire), seems te be very well pleased, upon the average, | With the outlines of the democracy for 1952, bat | turns over the subject to Colonel Samucl Medary, | an older and more popular member of the demo- cratic family; General Commander, Carolina (the delegate of nine votes at the last | Baltimore convention), is rather of the opinion that another national democratic convention may very well be dispensed with—that South Caro- lina will | Congress should reconsider the California boundary, | and run through the compromise line of 35—30. He is quite as serious as the Prophet Miller ia pre- dicting the day of judgment, though not quite as | exact as totheday. One thing, however, is evi- dent, viz:—Upon the platferm indicated, General | Hoaston will never receive in convention the nine votes of General Commander, in behalf of South Carolina. Mr. Brittan, of Alibama, is in doubt where he stands. He thinks the Southern rights party of the South is the democratic party, and that Clemens, Cobb, and Foote, and the Washing- | ton Union, have gone over to the Southern whigs. And to tell the truth, this is a dificulty very curi- | ous and perplexing; and quite natural, therefore, is thisembarrrassment of Mr. Brittan. Mr. King, the presiding officer of the United States Senate, embraces the opportunity for an instructive disser- tation upon Southern rights. Mr. Browne, of Rhode Island, is flat-footed and explicit, and talks | like a man of business. Suspecting that, if Gen. Cass were re-nominated, Martin Van Buren would | contrive toswamp him, as he did before, he thinks, upon the whole, that Gen. Houston would be pre- ferable, which, indeed, is very likely. Gen. Hous- ton, from his wounded arm, (San Jacinto, don’t forget that,) can’t write, and has Mr. Yoakum to present his apologies. But the crowning sheaf is the letter of Mr. Do- naldson to Mr. Greer. It is frank, and candid, and open as the day. So far from needing an explanation, it is the key to the whole corres- | ponderce. His views are consistent with his pro- gramme, and his purpose is promptly defined. | Whether be and his friends have commenced at | the right time, or in the right way, or not, the | fature alone can determine. Their plot, like that of Kiog Henry, may be a very good plot, and their army may be as good, though we can only apprebend mischief from too much reliance on | their free soil mercenaries. Appended to this correspondence will be found a letter from General Cass, and it also embraces certain newspaper extracts, which harmonize with the letters, and throw a good deal of light upon the whole subject. The whole mass of papers have | been furnished to us for publication, partly, we suppose, on account of the universal circulation of the Merald, and partly because there is no demo- cratic organ in this great centre of the commerce of South | secede sometime neat winter, unless | wee ‘The Latest from Washington, MORE ABOUT THE GARDINER CLAIM—DEPARTURE OF J. CARLOS GARDINER FOR ME&XICO—THE CALI- FORNIA LAND COMMISSI.N, BTC. Wasnixoron, August 21, 1851. ‘The result of Waddy Thompsons visit here has been the despatching of J. Carlos Gardiner to Mexico, to pro- | cure evidence to sustain the Doctor's claim. He started | this morning vic Charleston. It is said that Gardiuer’s counsel will object to the production of any documentary evidence to invalidate the claim, on the ground that the constitution provides | that all persons criminally indicted, shall have the pri- vilege of having their witnesses brought on, and their expenses paid. An objection will also be made that they | are interested parties. It is to be hoped that no such technical ground will be raised, as an acquittal thus ob- tained will scarcely satisfy the public mind. The two members of the Commission on California | Land Claims will meet hereabout the first of September, for the purpore of organizing the Commission, and will | then leave for California. | The Republic, of this morning, says that the President and Sccretsry of the Interior will return to Washington on the 28th of the present month Democratic Meeting at Philadelphia, &. Puiaverraia, August 21, 1851. A great meeting of the democracy took place to-night, at the Chinese Museum. George M. Dallas was chosen President, and made a brief speech. There were 44 Vice Presidents and 10 Secretaries. Colenel William Bigier, the candidate for Governor epoke at length explaining his views on the various questions before the people. He occupied the entire evening, other speakers declining, in order to give Colonel Bigler a better opportunity. ‘The meeting adopted resolutions eulogizing thelr can- didates; declaring the democracy of Philadeiphia in favor of, ard determined to sustain the compromise | measures of the last Congress; also declaring in favor of the prisons of the State being used for retaining fugitives until disposed of by process of law; and, further. that the Union of the States and the maintenance of the govera- ment under the constitution are objects of paramount | interest, and are the duty of every eitizen.

Gazette states that the work on the North Branch Canal must soon stop, for the want of funds to prosecute it further. It is nearly all under contract, and a large portion of it finished, and a great: number of sections nearly so. If the work be now stopped, the State will be obliged to pay to the contractors the fifteen per cent which is reserved from each estimate ae security for the completion of contracted work, which» would amount to a considerable sum of money. The Gazette estimates the loss to the State. im consequence of the work remaining in its present condition, at not less $275,000. The use of the money already expended would be lost-to the State, and five or | six years would elapse before the work could be resumed and finished. In this strait, the Gazette advises that the Governor shall call an extra sestion of the Legislature to make the eppropriation, and adds that the cost of ax extra ression ought not to exceed $10,000, by which ex penditure the amount above stated might be saved.

Those which jhave been previously published contained # great many typographical er- rors, and have not, therefore, been reliable.

We should judge, from the names given in the above listythat the stock or certif- cates obtained were for banking purposes. In the course of a few weeks weshall, mo doubt, have im circulation. bank bills, issued by the Comptroller on « deposit of thes - certificates; but as the law suthorising their issue makes it legal for the Comptroller to certify that. such. bank bills as are secured by these certificates are “ se- cured by & deposite of stocks ofthe State of New York,’’ we shall not be able to distinguish those institutions banking on Canal cer*iffcates by the appearance of their bills. The Comptroller is, however, required to report: the character of the securities deposited in the banking department by each bank; and we shall not know what basis a portion of ourpaper currency has for security until that report is made. We shall publish at once the: ame of every bank issuing bills upon a deposite of Canal. certificates, as we do not consider the security sufficient.
