Righly Luportant from Havana—Insult to the American Flag. By the scawer Ewpire City, arrived here last evening, we have received interesting and im- por'ant accounts fron Havana, to the 29th ult. Our private correspondence, and translations from the Hevana pspers, will be found at length in another column. ‘be excitable cond tion of affairs in Havana not only still continues, bus it seems to increase by every fresh effort of the looal’government to put down the dissatisfaction which is said to prevail so extensively in the island. The most important piece of intell gonce is the statemont doscribing an eatrece committed by the government officials vpov the American vessel Cornelia, whose letter bays were robbed and rifled after she was out of Spanith jurisdiction. Tbe conduct of the Spanish authorities in this respect, was an outrage on the American flag. which our government will be compelled to notice in the only way that it deserves the attention of an independent power. The arrests, confiseations and executions perpe- traced by the government of Havana against the Creoler, are merely matters to excite the sympathy of foreign navions; but when the powers there trample on the rights of American citizens suiling on the bigh sess, under the American flag, they cuzbt to be tavgbt their duty, at once and forever- Awong the other news, we notice the sudien death of the amiable and accomplished Coant Pesalver, 80 well known in the United Ssates for his u-bavity and courtesy to Americuns visiting Havana. His eldest son died in Madrid last year, ard now ihe excellent father follows ao soon. He is suececded in his titles and large estates by his secord son, and sole heir, a young gentleman of great elt gauce, refinement, and fine educatioa.

Nicaregua is willing to beve the matter discussed be‘ore impartial arbitrators, but at the rane time very properly jrotests, asan independent State pgainst all foreign interference. This is looked upon ata direct, though perhaps unintentional, rebuke to tbe present administration of this country, which bas boasied so much of non intervention principles The intelligence from the South Puoific will at- tract tbe aticntion of all who are fond of watching the enterprise and progress of the Yankees, io every clime, and under all circumstances.

In tre Board cf A dermen last evening, the Nine- teont! Ward Election Case having been made the 8 ecial orde , was tak n up, and nearly three hours were cor sume tin reading ‘he voluminous report of the Special Committee. The patience of the Board boing quite exhausted, the matter wa3 luid on the table till this evening. It was reolved that the in- tioceble »uirano: cf piling street manure at che f ot of Ro seve!’ street, be discontinued after the 1st of December next. A large amount a routine business was also transacted, and the session lasted newly six hours. Nothing of special interest tran- spired in tho Board of Assistants, beyond what is mentioned in the official report. The Crt of Se.s ons opened yesterday for the term, with ifty- five new prison and an equal num- ber of bai casos for tria’. A grand jury was or- gor ized, and the Recorder delivered anable charge The report of th» City Inspector, published in another part of our ;aper, shows a still decreasing ratio of mortality. The nuwler of dea hs during the past week is less, by seventoen, than that ro- corded for the wie« which ended upon the 25:h of September. An aggregate mortaliiy table for the four weeks from the 28h of August upto Satur- day, Septom' er 25th, howe that a total of eighteen hundred and 1fy-seveo perions diod in this city during the mouth. A classication, accorliag to sexes, give: f» ) hundred and six men, three hun- dred and fifty nine women, five hundred and fifty. nine boys, and five hundred and thirty-three girls. The infant mortality wa: 8) great that, of the gross number, four hundred and sixty- three were un er one year of age, and, in- cluding these, as many (8 Ou» thousand and forty-thre }al 1ct stinived ‘he og> of ten. The remaining «ight hundrej and ‘ourteea died at the various perio’ s of 'ife ranging from over ten up to eighty years. The adult deaths, taken alone, would presen’ the sauitery state ofour city ina favorable aspect. The vitiated ais, co. sequont upon crowded Jodging apartments, improper and uao- wholesome diet, particularly miJk, and, perhaps, an inattention to clean!ine:s and out d: or exercise, for the children, upon the part (f the paronts, has added fearfully to th: number of deaths amonget this class. Tvi. is; roved by ‘ho class of diseases hy which ‘bev vere cxrried off. One hundred and forty four died of ma:acmus, o: ¢ hundred and se- venty-five of cholera i:fantum, forty-eight of water on the brain, and one hundred asd twonty- seven from convulsions. Now, these disoases are brought on-or st leas: much aggravated —-by the cavses to which we refer. LEighty- nine children «ied of smal'-pox, mensles, hoop- ing cough or during the time of teething. The deaths of fifty five adults are recorded as ocourring from simpe cholera, one hundred and thirty-one from diarrhoea, one hundred and twenty-two from cholera morbus, and one hundred and sixty from consumption. Simple continued fever took away thirteen people, and the varieties of that diseaso— bilions, ty phus, scarlet, and puerperal—had sevonty- six victms. Dysenery—mosily chronico—termi- nated the life of one hundred and seventy persons, ord twen'y-nine died from general debility. One bundred and eighty-so-r grown up persons died of inflammations, existing in the groat cavities of the head, chest, ard abdomen. The remainder of the deaths happened from uncertain or variable diseases, such as bleeding, mortification, malformation, or gout, or resulted from the external causes of suicide, fractures, drowning, intemprrancse, Kc. When we consider our immense popelation, tho tremendous number of emigrants arriving at our port, the broken down condition of many of them on landing, and thir depressed spirits, with the ¢ffect of change of climate ujen them, we may look vpon the ravitary condition of our city as very pleasing, and presume that that department of our mupici,al government bas been well managed. It sccms impossible to combat the causes which pre- dispose to infant death amongs: u3.

State Elections in Ohio and Pennsylvania, Gn the i4th of this mseta the Grate e'ections oF Obio and Prnueylvasia qill take place. A {o- vernor, Licutonant Governor, State officors, mem, bers of the Senate and Legislaturo, and othor local officers are to be elected. This election will be im portant to the rest of the Union, as foreshadgwing in some degree the result of these two importan. States in *he Presidential election, which will fol yW on the eecond of next month. Doring the last twelve years we have had three Providential elections, viz: in 1840, 1844 and 1343. in those years the following » ere the results of th State elections inthe midd’e of October, and ths Preeidential elections in the following November :— Ouro.

General Barriso. carried the State by only a few hundreds. Mr. Polk carried | Peonsylvania by 5.000 plurality, and 2.000 over both whig ond seattering votes. Geceral Taylor, | however, carried the State by 14,000, thereby showing the extraordinary populority of that gool, | amiable old man We do not believe that the mili tary popularity of any other general can at ali como up to that which General Taylor possenved in 1343 in Pennsylvania It was then @ fresh popularivy, blooming with oll the victories in the Mexican war, snd undoubtedly supereded all subsequent oa teste in that State; yet, io owr reeent calculations vpon the Presidential election, we have given Pennsylvania to General Soott by a amall mojority; soared § put whan we pcan phe returns of io Beate im the al 1840 te, 1848, it seems very doubtfal whether 2. Leott can carry it at all. With respect to Ohio the case is somewhat dif- ferent. Tho abolition movement in that State hes increased #0 much since 1810, that it seems w be certain that General Scott has no chance of carry- ing it. Most of the abolition votes are genorally polled in the Western Reserve, heretofore kno #0 a3 strong whig counties. These men are conscientiou3, and fixed in t:eir convictions that abolitionism, and all tho other isms, are the only grounds on which to organize a party and support a candidure They were formerly principally whigs, and will, therefore, abstract from the whig strength and give | an advantage to the democracy, who are lese af fected by conscience and isms, and much more under the influence of practical results and hopes. Genera Harrison of course carried Ohio by a large vote in 1840, it boing his own State ; besides, abolitionism had not then io- creased to any extent. In 1844 Mr. Clay also car- ried it, being a whig candidate, the abslition vote having increased to 8,000, but not sufficient to over- come the strength and organization of the whigs, But in 1848 the preaching of WH. Seward, and che abolition orations which he had made previous to the election, produced an effect upon the coa- sciences of the whigs there sufficient to increase the abolition vote to nearly 40.000, thus giving the State to Cass, without any diffeulty. Hale, Greeley, and Thurlow Weed, we believe, all abvlitioaists on @ eliding scale, are now busy stumping Ohio, be- side Gen. Seott himself, and there seoms little doubt but all these influences will have the sameeffoet that W. H. Seward’s abolition speeches had in favor of Gen. Taylor, in 1848, and that is, to give the State of Ohio to the democracy in the Presidential olse tion by a great and increasing plurality or major ity. Under those influences, wo do not see the least cbance of Gen. Scott receiviag Ohio, while we ad mit that he has some chance of Pennsylvania. These elections will be watched with a great deal of interest. The contest will be cold and caloulstioy until avout ten days before the great election of November tb 24. Tho whole animation and ox: citcment will be put into the last ten days of the prerect mouth In that contest, there is every ap- pearance that the democracy throughout tae wholo country are more united and better organized thao they ever have been since the election of 1823, when General Jackson was overwhelmingly carried by a union of all the different eloments in the democra ey of that day. On the contrary, the whigs, North and South, East and West, are divided by every kind of ism, and all sorts of new doctrines. Tho very ogitations which have been created and fomonted by W. H. Seward, and his partisans, for the last fiiteen or twenty years, af now returaing to plaguo,demoralize, digsrganize, and disintegrate the present whig party. If, under those ciroume stances, they can elect General Scott President of the United States, they would be more indebted to him and his popularity, than bo would be ‘to the whig party, tho whig convention, or the whig leaders— to say nothing of tho “horses and cattle” of Kentucky. Stultification of the Whig Press. The habit of using coarse language, and resorting to gross vituperation, soon becomes a necossity Indulgence renders it a chronic distemper. To thoee who are attacked, calm reasoning awl sober discussion are flat, insipid, and uninterosting ; their palate requires the stimulus of personal invective and unbridled license of abuse. We never had a more beautiful illustration of thia principle than is afforded by the whig country papers of the last few weeks. After having blackened General Picrco’s private character to their heart’s oontent—proved, to their own satisfaction, that he is a drunkard, a coward, a gambler, a boaster, a brawler, an em bodiment, in short, of all the vices and frailties to which flesh is heir—they are now turning, for waat of a better victim, on their own candidate, and la- boring, with undiminished zeal, to demolish him as they demolished his rival. They have begua with his well-known reputation as a gentleman, which the democrats never thought of questioning uatil these whig organs assailed it. Now, however, that it is boldly asserted by the journals which advocato Soott’s elevation to the Presidency, that the hero of Lundy’s Lane is so utterly devoid of courtesy and respect for the female sex, that he offered a wanton, unprovoked insult to a lady who sought tobe civil to him, the question: how can such a man be fit for the office of President ? is springing-to the wouth of many a politician. Many a whig, who has hitherto regarded General Scott with feolings of esteem, is now beginning to question the pro- priety of showing respect to one who, according to his own friends’ showing, is wanting in respoce even to females, and has so little command oro himself as to wound the feclinge of a lady by an ungentlemanly allusion to her husband at a public breukfast table. If oar firm defence of Genoral Soott against his whig traducers provo ineflicacious, these scandal-mongers may appropriate to them- selves a large share of influonce in procuring his defeat. It was, we believe, the Memphis Jnguirer which first agreed to give publicity to the story, its aa thors, the socialist- abolitioniste of this city, having lacked tho requisite courage to father their off spring. The Washington Telegraph and Now York Tribunc eagerly cavght it up at second hand, and now we find it in some half dozen funny little whig eheots throughout the couttry. Let us, in return for their kindness in advancing the cause of our candidate, give the poor fellows the benefit of a notice. Does anybody know the Columbus Inquirer, o queer sort of nowspaper, full of boarding school neticee, and quack physic puffs, published on aver- age wrapping paper, with socond handtype, by Moers. Tagrag & Co , (we bog their pardon, Rag yand) ? We bog to recommend it to the faverablo noiies of tho pesiic, ee « epccide egefuss melan- choly. It offers ite readora ** gretuitoas advice” ov averiety ef subjects, from mothodism to matri- mony~ exclaims ageinst the ‘ blarney of the dis- unionists, which will do woll enough for “ the big men who want to obtain power,” but not at all for little men like the editor of the Inquirer, aad dia poses of General Pierce's claims as a candidate by the gastronomical remark, that ‘‘ ke smells like an onion, and tastes like cheese.’ Of its literary at tainmen's an opinion may be formed by tho follow- ing criticiee on a recent author, which we clip from ita ecluwns:--"* The deleterious swoctnoes of hiy conetipations, the roundness of his paragraphs, and tke judicicus eccrotion of his expansions, are un- equalled in tho az..als of literature.” There are come very shamoless people at Lowell. if the Datly Jowrnal and Courier, published at that place, bas any circulation. The first thing which catches the eye on taking up the paper is an advor- ticoment ef a doctor, in enormous capitals, which, ig joserted at all, ought to have been consigned to fome obscure corner, whore it could not call the blush to the female cheek; and, on turning to tho very next page, a recond doze, as conspicuous aa the other, meets the view. Wo had a bettor opinion of our Lowel) friends. The editor of this papor is a terrible leveller; in language more suggestive than classically elegant, he inveighs against some old family of the neighborhood, calling them ‘dignified fag-enda of depatted respectability,” an] vouchsafos to beceme the biographer of the last deszendant ‘of pap-+poon memory” He is an adept at metaphor, and cercribes the abolitionists as “eating their owa buttered words,” which, unlike the usual product of the chmp, ere “hard and bitter” The jaticioas arraxgeiment of matter is perhaps the movt striking feature in this amieble So fiom the following extract — BH The Whip Coniral Commitioe mest at howd Quast re thie evening Be Key J, Emercon Swallow. of Wilmington, will presch ip the Appicton street ebureh ovxt Sabbara.

After a careful perusal of a oum- ber, we were almost convinced that the ‘loco- fokery,” as he calls the democratia porty, bad | nothing to fear from him We hasten to acknowl edge our error, and make amende hmorable. The editor of the Beacon is a philanthropist—a mun who devotes his life to the good of his fellow creatures. Dyepepsia weighs heavy om bis humane heart; he is incessant in urging the afflicted to rush to Reed, Bates & Austin’s store, and “experience the bappy effects of Oxyginated Bitters.” He ** would be doing @ public injustice” were he to fail to re- commend ‘ Baker's Premium Bitters” His gene- rous soul overflows with gratitude as he enamerates various pills and cordials before which bear: diseases, nervous and liver comp aints disappear, as by mogic; and, le: be udvanced against him, a burst of compendious sympathy—* Do yousuffer with any pain?’--proves that, to this editor, it is enough to be afllisted with any disease to entitle you to his advice and oommis- eration. all sick persons ought to have the Nor. furk Beacon. It is as indispeasable as Radway’s Ready Relief, or Holloway’s Pille—better far than whig politics. Of the same clara is the Hartford Courant ; era- dite in the culinary art, and profuand on homminy. Ite politioal style is pithy and brief. The demooratic members of the Sena‘e it charges with ‘+ mean, das- tardly, contemptible tric! alludes to certain whigs as having passod for “ a drunken sot of row- dics,” and simply states that Mr. Houston's asser- tions are “ false.” We like this florid bu‘ lasonio style of argument. The Courant is eminen:ly re- markable for the high order of poetry it contains, of which the following is a sample :-- “ Well, now [ tell you. mother, Pray listen to me « mionit : We bve iu a wonde fal world, And there’: wonderful poopie in it.” Wo are sorry that our spave will not permit us to make further extracts from the high flowa ode of which the above quotation isa satople. Wo must, however, find room for the following eloquent alla. sion to a quack dootor :— Thore is balm in Jszae}, anda Physician there who restored to health and happiness the suffering sons and daughters of men ” They are terrible fellows at Clevelund, if wo are to believe the Daily Furest City. The gentleman who conducts that paper condoles with a contemp rary, who says his corporeal frame is in great danger of receiving sundry inflictions, commonly termed kicks, from the pedestals of some offended biped and feelingly adds—‘‘ This state of things is refresh- ing—but it is the samo ordeal we had to piss through in being initiated into the itemizing depart ment of the ecribbletorial world in Cleveland.” This editor, who alludes so naively to tho kick- ings he has received in tho course of businoss, re- peats the story that Scott is ‘tinged with co vard- ice,” summons a!) Irishmen to a martial rally at a place named, to repel a calumny on ono of Erin's noblest sons, and congratulates his readora on the Mustang Liniment baving ‘‘ become a fixed fact !” It is refreshing to turn from the self-vonfessed kicked editor to the gentleman who ‘‘does” the lead- ing articles for the Detrcit Tribune. Ho is, we ven- ture to say, full of pluck and courage. His vooabu- 18ry must be pretty extensive, if we judge from the following expressions, used ina short articleon the De- troit Free Press and the democratic banke:—“‘Unpar- alleled impudenco,” “ pure, unblushing, unqualified effrontery,” ‘miserable drivelling paragraphs,” x aun “‘gwelling words of this swollen editor;” jotes styled “‘more rags, fit only for shaving pa- per, and too unrubstanti@l for that,” ‘‘ monstrous brood of wild-cats and red-dogs,” ‘‘ banks with old nails and broken glass for capital,” “bank commis. sioners so ignorant or so dishonest that’ thoy could not detect the sublime swindle,” &o.; “a glorious gambling transaction,” ‘legalized iniquity,” “bills luke the apple of Sodom (?)” ‘ dishonest gains,” “directors pocketing all tho entrails thoy could eviscerate from the failing carcase,” ‘ knaves of the worst kind,” * locofoco dishonesty,” ‘old suckers at the public teat,” “old rats,” &c., area few goms worth remembering. Is it to be won- dered that such a papor should acsuse Genera Scott of a want of courtesy? No newspaper in the Union is more appropriately named than the Boston Atlas. The woight of stu- pidity and nonsense which it contains would break the shoulders ef any but an Atlas. It is confidert that Soott will be elocted, because a vote taken in a railwaycar, near Sandusky, gave him a majority. It comes to the same conclusion because an old German, of Berks county, gave it out that he would not voteatall. It is elated to the skies on hearing that one Pat Murpby styles the democrats “* bigote supporters of a relic of the dark ages” It gives glowing aecouct of a Scott meeting at Speacor, and naively adds, apropos of the enthusiasm which prevailed, that “Ssott sowp was afterwards served at the hotel, and a good time had generally.” These comforting facts lead the editor of the Adas to auger a brilliant victory in November. His joy is, however, occasionally tempored with subjects of uneesiness. Thus he says: ** Gencral Scott's health is generally good, but the weather is oppressive.” These are a few of the journals which have set their hearts on defaming the whig candidate, under pretence of supporting him. Whigs, be on your guard?

Very respectfully area ROBY, H MORRIS. As the lettor addressed to Mr. Morris is a printed circular, with his name ard tbe office for which he | is nom‘nated written in the blank space, we presume that copies have been also addressed to the various other candidates for office, Whether they have taken the trouble to reply to go insulting and absard | @ communication we have vot heard. But Mr Mor” ris most cilectually disposes of it, in a very quict and dignified letter. These gentlemen do not hesitate to azk a gentleman in advance, who is a candidate for the office of judge, wkether he will keep bis oath of office and administer the laws impartially. It is diffi- cult to say whether thisis most absurd or most offen- sive. Itis, in plain terms, asking Mr. Movris if he wlli or will not commit perjury inthe event of his eleo- tion; and they ask for his answer, ‘‘yes, orno.” Very civil, truly. We admire the forbearance of the re- ply—is is a very mild, but a very decided rebuke of the combination of ignorance and insolence which dictated such a question. Equa'ly silly is the ques tion desing to know whether Mr Morris considers a proposed law unconstitutional before it is pasaed It is surely time enough for a judge to d jo upon tho constitutionality or unconstitutionnlity of a law after it is paesed—wken all its provisions are be- fore him, and he has beard the argumenta pro end contra. If every candidute for the office of judge should have to answer a question of this kind, there would be no limit to the number that might be put tobim. There is scarcely any conceivable case in which the conrtitutionality of law might fot be disputed; and to pledge a vandidate before- hand, how he might decide as a judge on any parti- cular question 4sa btghly improper attempt to inter- fere with the administration of justice. The only question to which Mr. Morris could give a definito answer is, whother bo is in favor of the enactment of a law prohibiting the use of wive, brandy, and other drinks, in this State, and to that question he does not hesitate to give an explicit answer. What effect ic will have on the action of the Allianse we know not, but wo are informed that it may huve a very «important influence.” Mr Morris is in torrible danger. We tromble for his fa‘e. Porvuan Deuston with Respect To Newsra PEs —It is somewhat surprising that, in this age of tho world, and notwithstanding the frquent eaposés we havo made of tho fallacy in the columns of the HeERaxp, the idea should still be prevalent iz the community that itis only a matter of dollars and ‘cents to procure the publication, in respoctable new s- papers, of any articles of slaider, libel, or anmitiga- ted puflery. Yet strange as this ivfstuation is, it is the no less general; and scarce @ week passes in which we do not reseive applications to insert in our paper trash of this kind for a consideration. Some- times we get from an unprincipled politiciana slan- derous communication, designed to blacken the public or private character of an opponcat. Some times a business letter, to puff somo new invention or quack medicine, for an accompanying gwd pro quo; sometimes a polite missive from an ardent lover, to bestow an unlimited amount of praise upon his inamorata, a theatrical demuunte, or beautiful dan- seuse, which, by some etrange porversion of in- tellect, or commendable aversion to oxtrava- gance, he thinks would be amply paid for by the munificent eum of five dollars. Various sre the eubjects on which we are required to indite a commendatory or villifying paragraph; and the applicants seem to entertain not tho slightest doubt of Gnding us facile instruments in carrying out their designs, but appear to have as much faith in the wonderful power of a five or ten dollar bill, as they have in the miracles performed by the apos tles. Newspaper proprictors evidontly enjoy the very flattering reputation of being the most casily corrupted men in the community—not even except- ing aldermen or members of Congrese; or are uni- yersally considered to be miserable paupers, to whose innate principles of integrity @ five dollar bill is an insurmountable argument. The last application of this nature addressed to us, we reczived @ day or two ago, all tho way from m Francizco. It is quite a cool, business-like let- r, without any ridiculous affectation of secreoy about it, but all in the regular, ordinary style of 2 mere every-day transaction As such, we regard it asthe most consummate piece of impudence that has recently come within our obeercation; end when we soy that the “correspondence” which it requests us topublish inthe Hrnaxy is nothiog loss than a groeely libellous article, defaming tho moral repu- tation of a gentleman and lady in respectable walks of life, and charging thom with lewdaess, unchastity, and other crimes, the publication of. which would make them obj of infamy ia tho community, it will be scen how. highly the writer estimates the general moral focling prevailiog among joufna'ists. Weowe him our acknowledg ments for the high compliment he pays tho profes- sion, and, as a mark of our regard, we publish the business part of his communication. Hore it is:— Ban Faaxcisco, July 3, 1852.

Whethor it be or not, however, our courso in this matter is dictated by a strict regard to the principles of honor and truth. When tho writer next essays anything in the same line, he will apply elexewhero than to the New York Henan. Instead of tho twenty-five copies of oar poper, which he requests te be sent to him, wo think one will quito satisfy bis desires, Will the public ever Jearn that tho proprietor of @ great newspaper—if he be worthy of bis grand vooation— isastuated by nobler principles of justice, truth, self respect, and o high toned performance of ths duties bo owes to mankind, than they aro at presout willing to give him credit for; and that he is infl- | nitely ruperior to the humiliatiog practices which the public most orroncously attribute to him.
