Fatal Accident.

Every exertion was made by the Captain and Crew to save him but without effect. He was a very estimable man, and has left a wife and family to deplore his untimely end. .

False Dlmocract. The most beautiful illustration of the democracy of the self-styled Democratic paity as it exists in the U. States U their repudiation of the majority principle; the very sun itself of the Democratic system. It was by this repudiation of, this plucking ou.t of the sun that gave birth, and light, and life to their party and system, that Mr. Polk was made President. He was obnoxious to a vast majority of the members w ho finally nominated him rather than nominate nobody. Mr. Van Buren was the choice of the majority of the Convention and to defeat him the democracy unsexed, or aristocralised themselves, by establishing, for the first time in any professedly democratic, if indeed in similar popular assembly, the two-thirds new-fangled modem-democratic "progressive" idea. We had been taught that tht democracy and the majority were synonimons and the tame in reference to politics and its numbers; but democratic progression, or new-fangled American democracy, have the tiro-third sun instead of the one of the majority, to irradiate, warm up and give life and light to their system

For the sake of the great Whig party, a member of which 1 am, and which opposed the war and the annexation of Texas, and which has laid neutral in this war. but which niu raise azainst Mexico lo a man if I am killed ' spare me: , , The character of Captain Danley, as a man of honor and , veracity, no man will dispute who knows nun, and he leaves the brand upon 'good Cassius of having told a willful lie. lt is his intentihn to prepare a statement of facts concern mz the whole a flair, which we shall be able to give in our next. w The Military Commission is Mexico.

The commission, after mature consideration on the testimony adduced, found the prisoners each and severally guilty as char ged, and sentence them, Sergeants B. F.

In his last letter, he thus speaks: 1 must, howerer, do the redoubtable Tillow luslice on one. point, .hverr body sneers at the claim he sets upon the merit ot planning the great operations or our army before the city of Mexico, and everybody has doubted the truth of his having slain a Mexican officer in single combat. He failed to prove the fact before the Court Martial, but it is no longer a matter of dispute; for in addition to the bullet that unbuttoned his coat at Cerra Gordo, and the cannon ball that whizzed by htm at Chu rubusco, there has been brought over the corpse of Ihe aforesaid Mexican, preserved in brandy and it. or something like it, has been exhibit ed to the gaping crowd ever since the General's arrival, these memorials. I presume, are to be forwarded to Washington, and will be pre .served in the War Department. And when ih; stranger asks Mr. Polk for the monuments of the Republic, he will point not to the can non captured at Saratoga and Yorktown, not the standards of Tippecanoe and Orleans, not to the trophies of Buena Vista, nor to the bauners torn from the citadel of Mexico, but he will sayVwith an air of triumph: "litre is the bullet that flattened itself on the breast of mt general, here is the cannon ball that passed within three feet of him at the storming of Chapul tepee, and here is the yellow-bellied Goliah that he slew in single combat!" Oh fortunate Mr. Polk! Oh glorious Pillow! Oh happy and glorious Republic! When were there such a President, and such a hero? Jefferson is no longer ranked as the first of Statesman, ihe achievements of Jackson cease to astonish.

From the Luusville Journal ol Thursday.

Whig and Locofoco Parties The Presi dential Canvass. The Presidential canvass which now opens promises to be more than usually exciting. Recent events have worn a deeper gulf than ever between the conflicting panics, aim uae iuuscu wie pumic mind 10 the deep and portentuous importance of the struggle. In other like contests, great enthusiasm and great excitement have been exhibited, but in the present the chords of the popu lar neari win oe swept wun greater power and will echo with a louder and more startling tone than ever before. For many years the great question has been. what set of men shall rule? Shall the country be ruled by honest and able men. install ed by a pure and enlightened party; with an eye single to the promotion of the common good, or shall it be ruled by selfish demagogues wun an eye single to their own aggrandisement bv demagogues who rise to power by means of trickery, falsehood, and hypocrisy, and who in power are guided by no principle, and seek no other end than the maintaiuance ot heir ascendency? This for twenty years has beep at the bottom of the party divisions of this country. It is true that important questions of policy tiave constantly divided the country, but these questions have uot caused the great party di visions out have rather grown out ol them. In the progress of a great country like the United States, many measurs will from time to time become necessary for the promotion of the pubt i fr i 1 1 i i 1 1 tc good, inese win be discovered ana win be supported by those who seek the public good; and they .will be opposed by the demagogues with no other view than to keep up a party aivision. In the last twenty years that party which professed to be the party of progxess,and boasts of its energy and enterprise, has originated no single positive measure but the annexation of the whole ot Uregon, involving a war with England; the annexation of Texas; the war with Mexico, the annexation of the whole of Mexi co; and interposition in the affairs of Yucatan. They have indeed reduced the measure of proteciiou oi American inausiry, ana nave locxea . a r a. up tne uovernmeni iunds in iron cnesis, but these were negative measures, growing out of their opposition to what the Whigs pro posed. Ihe first measure was that of the annexation of Texas, conceived in the Administration of Tyler and eagerly consummated under Polk. lint this long interval of inaction, or of simple dogged, and factious resistance to whatever the Wbi"s proposed and the Dublic eood demand ed, was followed under the Administration of Polk with a train of baleful projects evincing a satanic energy long restrained but now let loose upon the country. Van Büren s "let aloue policy," his dogma that the people ex pect too mucn oi government, and his maxim, openly and unblushiugly proclaimed, that the Government, meaning the office-holders, must lake care of itself and the people of themselves had resulted in the total route of his party. When they came into power again under a the present in cumbent, they thought il expedient to give some sample oi tneir Doasted progress, and long, and bitterly, will the country rue it. Their first measure was the annexation of Texas, a leading issue in the contest of 1844, when the Whigs opposed to the uttermost, pre dieting all the evils which have since proceed ed lrom that pandora s box. Another issue of the canvass of '4 1 was the occupation and holdiug of the whole of Oregon up lo the line of 04 40. Ibis abominable measure, which would have involved the coun try in a war with England for a barren and worthless strip of laud, was pressed with the greatest earnestness by Polk and his party, un tit tne eloquent, unremitting, and poweriui assaults of the Whigs detached a sufficient uumber of the party; including all those of any pretensions to character and talcsmanship, and saved the country from one of the most disastrous schemes ever plotted by upstart and folly and audacious wickedness. Close on the heels of the baulked scheme o Oregon occupation came the war with Mexico precipitated by a rash, untimely, needless or der ot: the Executive, which Congress had no power to control because it was secret. Ihi m war with its terrible loss iu lift; and pecuniary treasure, its demotaliziug influences upon those at home, its stain upon the national character, and the petty malignity displayed by the Administration towaru tnose great captains who reaped the laurels and repaid in glory in some decree the sacrifices and disgraces of a wanton war, against a weak, defenceless power that for ten loug years oi uisgrace nail not been able to stir a finger against a handful of iusurgeuts in Texas this war with all its blunders, corruptions, peculation, lavoritism, jobs and con tracts, will be a fruitful theme of Whig elo quence, before which the Locofocos will retoi as their leaders recoiled in the Seuate before the artillery of Whig eloquence on the Oregon debate. Next in the shower or direful ills shaken from the comet-like train of Locofoco progress was the annexation ot Mexico. As thecoun a . a .a try had been threatened witn tne "whole o Oreuon or none," so it was threatened with the annexation of the whole of Mexico not au umveopled desert like Oregon, but a vast ter ritory peopled with many millions, of difieren hues, but all the free, equal, and independent citizens of4the Republic a people who main tain the principles of our declaration of inde pepdence, and who naturally feel the greatest hostility to this country; whom, therefore, we could only bold by force, and who are so ignorant and degraded' that if annexed bv their own free will, it would be fatal to this Republic. From this fatal annexation of the whole of Mexico, the country will be saved by tho persevering efforts of the Whigs, but it will probably not escape without a large annexation of territory, which, though it contains comparatively few inhabitants, will probably like the annexation of Texas, produce finally the most deplorable consequences, And now, seeing that they are about tq lose all of Mexico but the small territories of New Mexico and California, the administration is stretching its arms towards Yucatan, not without ferocious grow lings over the bone of Cuba. The appetite for war and plunder cannot be allayed by anything short of a huge deglutition like the anaconda's, which swallows rabbits while it ruus, and only becomes gorged and motionless after swallowiug a bison. Gen. Cass is of opinion that Mexico might be swallowed without indigestion, and as Cuba will be taken in by way of dessert. Of this nefarious scheme of interposition in the affairs of Yucatan, much is to be learned by the crpptry, and upon it we shall introduce two witnesses of high authority ou the Locofoco side, no less names than those of Senators Niles aud Calhoun. That administration which found Mr. Crittenden's proposition, to vote 8500,000 for the relief of the starving people of Ireland, unconstitutional, eagerly proposes to interpose in a civil war iu Yucatan, against the timehouored policy of nop-jnteryention, Br the - COFFINS. made to order.

Jrelirf of Ireland thousands of fellow-men w ould

iave been saved from starvation, and all the civilized nation would have beheld the act with admiration and hailed it with hearty applause. But the act was unconstitutional in the eyes of a Locofoco administration; it created no ne.c offices or new employment for partizans it appropriation was for the relief of famishing men beyond the seas. The Spanish Yuca laues?, also a foreign people, ask to be pro tected against a portion of their tellow -citizens who wage civil war against them, having borne long years of oppression from their whiter-skinned fellow-citizens. This suits the genius of Locofocoism. It is a case of relief like that of Ireland, but it is not peaceful, it is not simply beneficent. It involves an indefinite war with a numerous and hardy n.ce of mountaineers, as difficult to subdue as the Seroinoles. lbousands of lives will be lost in this war, a greater number most probably, including Americans and Indians, than tbe'whole number of those who ask relief: but no matter, millions-will be scattered upon civil and military officers and contractors. The Mexican war is about to end. and this Ytcatan affair will serve to grati fy the pampered taste for blood and plunder and S Its i a wnai is caijea military giory: A distinguished statesman once said that the Locofoco nartv is bound together by the cohesive power of public plunder, and there certainly never was a more philosophical generalization. This truth might be deducted from a knowledge of the demagogues who lead it, but a history of their administration of public affairs establishes the deduction by a thou sand instances. Tbey administer the eovernlouzht it uoihinz but a contrivance to collect money from the industrious and enterprising classes for distribution among the oroce-huders. I bey tolerate no measures but such as tend to multiply officers or in crease the revenue and expenses. The chief argument for the new tariff' was the assertion that it would increase the revenue, Ao hon est free-trader, above all things, would have sought to curtail the expenses and the revenue. This administration, with nothing but free trade and row duties upon its lips, has swelled the annual expenses many millions, necessarily requiring a high rate of duty on all articles that will bear it. Jackson swelled the expenses greatly beyond his predecessor, and Van Buren brought them to an imperial standard. He too had his pet war, but be labored incessantly to multiply the officers, and thereby increase the patronage and strength of the Executive. This was his game to secure bis re-election. This was the purpose of his project of a Gov ernment bank with its host ol employers, and of bis scheme of a short ol regular army ot 200, 000 men. This was a peace army of National i . a Guards. His successors have improved upon him. They wish an army of 100,000 men, be sides civil officers, such as Governors, clerks, collecters, &c, to occupy Mexico by force and carry on its government. This was the favor ite scheme ot the loco locos, and they have been driven from it with much difficulty. In deed, if peace is not restored, it is not abandon ed. The Yucatan auair is held in reserve. Distribution of the spoils, large expenditures of public money, jobs, contracts, and peculelion these are the philosophy, aim, and end of all Locofoco politics. The foundation upon which the leaders stand is the presumed ignorance, prejudice, and gullibility of the masses; the weapons of their party warfare ars equivocation, falsehood, trickery, and hypocrisy; the stakes for which they play are the spoils of victory. All classes and all parties, save only the office-holders, are alike ttieir victims. To keep themselves in power they will resort toany expedient however fatal to the prosperity and happiness of the people. To carry an election they would not scruple to involve the country in a war with the mightiest power. And these selfish", sordid, sroils-loving demagogues claim to be the best friends ot the democratic movement in Europe, and hope to make foreign citizens as well as the more guillible Of native-born citizens believe that there is such a thing as an aristocratic or anti-democratic party in this country. If there is such a party, they constitute it who intent on spoils disregarded the interest of the people. They conconstitute it who profess to wish to open the country to the free-trade of the world, abasing American wages and American capital to the European standard. It is not thus that the Republicans of France proceed, who have driven out with a savage brutality the English artisans and laborers, and who now wisely de sign to make regulations calculated to foster home industry bt preventing foreign competition. There is, nie re can be no such thing in this country as classes and class interests, except to office-holders. There is every variety of individual and condition, but no political distinctions but those founded upon sex or color. Of individuals there is as great a variety as in any other country. They are the ricl and poor, the wise and foolish, the idle and Ens:ur: scattered more or less through each party. The mass of both parties are honest, and honestly mean to promote their own interests and the eood of the counlrv br every vote they cast. It is the function of the patriot and good citizen to endeavor to disDerse those prejudices and misconceptions which alone prevent the forming of a correct decisions ou men and measures. WHIG NATIONAL CON VENTI0F. Philadelphia, June. 7, 8 P. M. The Whig National convention met to-day at the Chinese Museum. Mr. Collver, of New York, was called to the chair, and Mr. Ha i lan, ot Kentucky, was appointed secretary. Prayer was delivered by Rev. Dr. Brainard. The conveutien then proceeded to the election of orficers. Governor Morehead, of Norlh Caroliua, was elected president, and one delegate from each State vice president. Twelve secretaries were then electedr A Con.mitte was appointed to examine the credentials of the various delegates. -The only difficulty ihat has arisen in the con veution is to allow Texas a representation by the delegates fiom Louisiana. Upon ihe questiou of electing a vice president for Te$as, a w arm debate arose. The convention finally agreed to the proposition of Texas being represented by a:vice president, reserving to it, however, tha rihtof deciding upon this representation after the report of the committee on credentials. The conception then adjourned till 9 o'clock A. M. on Thursday. Paisfcl Coincidence. The widow of Hon. Alexander Everett, United States Cotimissioner to China, and also the widow of the Rev. S. C.

A CONTRAST. BY "WM. II. SEWARD. Only two years af;er the birth of John Q. Adams, there appeared, on an Island in the Mediterranean Sea, a Human Spirit, newly born, endowed wiih equal genius, without iho regulating qualities or Justice and Benevolence, which-Adams possessed in such au eminent degiee. A like career opened tu both: Born, like Adams, a subject of a king ihe child of more genial skies, like him, became in early life a patriot and a citizen of a new and great Republic. Like Adams, he lent his service to the State in precocious youth, and in its hour of need, and won its confidence. But, unlike Adams, he could not wail ihe dull delays ofslow,and laborious, but sure advancement. He sought power by the road that leads through fields of carnage, and he became, like Adams, a Supreme Magistrate, a Consul. But there

were other Consuls. He thrust them aside, and was Consul alone. Consular power was too short. He fought new battles, and was Consul for life. But Power, confessedly derived from the People, must be exercised in obedience to their will, and must be resigned to ihem again, at least in death. He was not content He desolated Europe afresh, sub verted the Republic, imprisoned the ram arch who presided over Rome's comprehen sive See. and obliged him to pour on his - - I L7 ., head the sacred oil that made the persons of kings divine, and their right to reign indefeasible. He was an Emperor. But he saw around him a mother, brother, and sis ters, not ennobled, whose humble state reminded him and the world that he was a plebian; and he had no heir to wait impatient for the imperial crowu. He scourged the earth again, and again. Fortune smiled on him, even in his wild extravagance. He bestowed Kingdoms and Principalities on his kindred put away the devoted wife of his youthful days, and another, a daughter ol Hapsburg's imperial house, joyfully accepted his proud alliance. Offspring gladdened his anxious sight; a diadem was placed on iu infant brow, and it received the homage of princes even in us cradle. Mow be was indeed a Monarcha Monarch by divine appointment a legitimate Monarch the , filsl 0 an endless succession of Monarchs. But there were other Monarchs who held sway in the earth. He was not content. He would reign with bis kindred alone. He oaihered now and greater armies fiom his own land from subjugated lands. He cal led forth the young and brave, one from every household from the Pyrenees to the Zuvder Zee from Jura to the Ocean. He marshalled them into long and majestic col umns, and went forth to seize that universal Dominion, which seemed almost within his grasp. But Ambition had tempted Fortune too far. The nations of the earth resisted, rebelled, pursued, surr unded him. The pageant was ended. The Crown fell from his presumptuous head. The wife who had wedded him in his pride, forsook him iu the hour when fear came upon him. His child was ravished from his sight. His kinsmen were degraded to their first estate, and he was no longer Emperor, nor Cousul, nor Gen eral, nor even a citizen, but an exile and i prisoner, on a lonely island in ihe midst o the wild Atlantic. Discontent attended him there. The wayward man fretted out a few lonf years of bis yet uubroken manho.Kl, ' looking off, at the earliest dawn and iu the evening's twilight, toward that distant world a I that had only just ciuuea nts grasp, in heart corroded. Death came, not uulooked for. thouirh il came even then unwelcome. w o He was stretched on his bed within the fori which constituted his prison. A few fasi and faithful friends s'Ojd aroui.d, with t ie guards who rejoiced that the hour of relief from lonrr and weaned watching was ai a hand. As bis strength wasted away, deli riumsiiried up the brain from its long and inglorious inactivity. 1 he pageant of Am bition . returned. He was again a Lieuien ant, a General, a Consul, an E nperor uf France. He filled again the thron of Char lemagne. His kindred pressed around him, again reinvested with the pompous pagean try of Royalty. The Daughter of the long ,ine of Kings again stood proudly by his 8Uy facof Child shone out from beneath the diadem that encircled us flowing locks. The Maishalsof the Em pire awaited his command. The legions of ! the Old Guard were in the field, and their j crred faces rejuvenated, and their ranks, thinned in many battles, replenished. Rus sia, Prussia, Austria, Denmark, and England, gathered their mighty hosts to give him battle. Once more he mounted his impatient charger, and rushed forth to couquost. He waved his sword alofi, and cried Tete d'Armes." The feverish vision broke, ih a a . mm a mockery was ended. 1 be silver cord was loosed, and the warrior fell back upon his bed a lifeless corpse. This was the Ed cf Earth. Tub Corsica was kot con text. Florida. The man, Mr. Black, who was ariested for the murder of Mr. Gibbons, the Sheriff of Alachua county, was discharged by the magistrate immediately after the af fair, but such was the excitement of the citizens of that county against him, that they forcibly detained him in custody, with daily and nightly guard, until the cession ol the Circuit Court, when the Grand Jury found a true bill against him for murder. The Jacksonville News, from which we gather these perticulare, says: "At his request, the venue for his trial was lemoved to this county. On Tuesday evening last, he whs brought here in the custoly of Mr. Ellis, Sheriff of Alachua courtly, and committed lo ihe jail at (his place, to await his trial at ihs.next Circuit Court, which will be held towards the end of this month.
