S. Ptentiss, of Mississippi, sink so deep that a bubble will never rise to mark the pot .ir whieti it went down. It must be so; it ought to be so . So deeply rooted and imbedded are the compromise measures in the minds of both Whigs and Democrats in the State of Tennessee, that if each member from the täte Whigs and Democrats upon this (lo r . should go home with a nomination like that, 'coming in such a questionable shape," and make their utmost effort to sustain such a nomination, they would meet with overwhelming and inevitable defeat. lam speaking plamly. I know that a portion of the party with which I am associated will mark this speech as most mischievous It is not so designed. I desire to play an honorable part with my party.

From this remarkable letter we copy I he following extracts "As to Gen. Scott it is not a rit time to say more than this: la his present position he cannot obtain the rote of Kentucky any more than he ran command the powers of Heacen. What effect a change of his position at this late day would produce, will be more accurately determinable when the new position shall be taken. The eflect of light upon a picture may best be described when the experiment shall have been tried. This determination on the part of our whigs M not the result of prejudice against Gen. Scott. 1 am auic no such feeling inhabits my bosom." 'Unfortunately lor as, Gea. Scott is, at least, not known as a statesman. He has no experience in the conduct ot civil affairs, tie would be necessarily thrown upon those who would surround him. My dear sir, tee have learned a lesson too lately, but too svell, to permit again our affections to warp and control our judgment in the selection of a President. We know nothing of Gen. Scott as a statesman, except as some knowledge of his views may be gathered Irera letters and these tew in number he has written from time to time some to advance opinions, others to retract them when advanced "Tkee touch questions to some extent obsolete, or not likely to arise in the administration of the presiden tial omce, ana anoru no guarantee to the country of the course or the civic capacity of the statesman. regret to hear that the General determines to write no more. Silence now is quite as much to be deplored by his friends as thefiuency of his pen heretofore. Ij he abides in that determination long, there need be no hops of success with his name. The people already suspect that men surround him, and influence his action, in whom my section places no confidence Political affiliation with them, and po litical annihilation with us follows as truly and certainly as cause and effect. But. you may say, General Scott surely w.ll writethat will be arranged in due time. Well, I reply that the effect o the writing can best be j would be wrong to piss our judgment oo a volume until I we have read it entirely through.

Mr. Wooaard ana Bin hurt." Our article in relation to the uncalled for partisan assault on Capt. Todd by the Temperance Chart has "riled" the editor considerably. It seems that he has

been talked to by some of his Temperance friends, who doubt told him, very plainly, that ha was running the thing into the ground. In a card he explains as follows: "Now, when I penned that article, I did not once j think of Mr. MeCarty as a oandidate for Governor ; bat j styled him a "temperance Wtaig." because, in every : case, during his three years service in the Senate, he has voted for temperance measures Now are we to understand hv this, that Mr. MeCarty 1 ..r f.mrnA at u,,. law? W rather iiess he will . hardly attempt such an up-hill business in his speeches : before the people. But this, very gentlemanly editor, says he will not condescend to notice the low and abusive article in the Sentinel." This comes with rather a bad grace from a man who denounced Let i L. Todd as a " Whiskey )-ri " fant. Todd is as temoerate a man as Mr. Woodward or any one else. He is a member of the Presbvterian Church and his age. and standing in secicty should have shielded him from such abuse, especialI ly from a paper professing to be neutral in politics, j The question was not whether Gov. Wright is as good a Temperance man as Mr. MeCarty, but the question is, is not Mr. Todd as good a Temperance man as Mr. MeCarty We challenge the editor to the denial, ii it is true, then to call one u u Whiskey Democrat" and the other a "Temperance Whig' is a foul slander en the Democratic Senator. Gea Cass and Judge Douglas. The Washington correspondent of the Detroit Free Press, writing from Washington, says : The position of the gaHant young Senator from Uli. nois is certainly an enviable one. He is deservedly strong in the attections of the Democracy of the entire Union, and has a host of warm and ardent admirers. Judge Douglas stands on the same Union platform with Gen. Cass, and thair general sentiments upon public affairs very nearly coincide. His nomination at the Baltimore Convention would be cordially responded lo by the peeple. Still appearances indicate that the chances of his friend, the distinguished author of the renowned protest against the quintuple treaty ef the five great European power, are decidedly the best, and that the assembled wisdom of the National Democracy will place Gen. Cass at the head of the column in the ensuing campaign. Of the triumphant election of the Democratic nominee, no one seems at all to doubt. The sickening catalogue of blunders - commiss.on, on t and crimes "sins ol omission anu lie part of the present Administration has disgusted the masses so thoroughly, that a radical change is universally demanded. And, whether the standard bearer be the veteran Cass, Douglas, Buchanan, Marcy, Butler, Houston, Dickinson, or any other of the crood and tine patriots who have been named, it is as fixed as the decrees of fate, that the "ides of March," 1353, will witness the inauguration of an out and out Democratic Administration in the Capitol City, for the next four vears.

The Lu ot the Mtluda--Probable Kxteut ot the ( slaiuit-Aduitioual Particular-. We again recur, with melancholy interest, to the distressing details connected with, perhaps, one of the most distressing catastrophies that has ever occurred on the western waters. On Saturday, up to the hour of noon, as we stated in our evening edition, no further tidings were received ironi tne scene oi disaster, nv tne arrival ot iue steainers Clara and Elvira, from the Missouti, wo gleaned several important items ol inlormalion respecting the casualty, which we hasten to lay before our readers. It appears that for nearly four days previous to the neighborhood ol Lexington, and had been unsuccessful in her attempts to .stem the strong current which sets in . . .... . . occurrence of the. accident, the Saluda had been iu the . .i iue poini rameuiaieiy noove tnac city. . . . at tne point immediately aoove mat city.

Half past one on Friday orninif last, her officer a Ueierminetl to m - -mm . a . make another elTort to proceed on their trip, and having made the neeessarv preparations leu the landing, and in the short space ol ftve minutes, ber boilers exploded with such tremendous edect, that ilie cabia and other works Mlualod forward of the wheel bouse were completely demolished, and not a piece of limber was left above the guards. The commander, Capt. Belt who was on the hurricane roof, was blown up in the air a distance of about one hundred feet, and was thrown against the side of a hill at Lexington. His mangled body was recovered a short time alterwards. 1 he second clerk. Air. Blackburn, was standing on the boiler deck, and w-as also blown into the town. But the alarming loss of life does not stop here. In a few moments the mutilated bodies of a largo number ol the passengers were found in the streets ot Lexington. The work of destruction progressed so rapidly, that the citizens did not imagine there was a single survivor. Every where could be seen the mangled bodies, pieces of flesh, blood, brains, and separated limbs. The scene was truly appalling. Messrs. Charles Labarge and Louis Gareth, the pilots, were blown into the river, and their bodies had not been recovered when the Clara left. This was likewise the case with the Engineers. Messrs. Clancy and Evans. The number of lives lost will not, perhaps, ever be ascertained. The passengers were composed principally of emigrants to Salt Lake and California, and as the books of the boat are gone, it is impossible to rind a register of their names. About forty bodies were collected and interred by tbe citizens of Lexington, but as a number were undoubtedly blown into tbe river, we may reasonably calculate that this is much below the actual r. amber lost. One of the surviving passengers lost bis wife and seven children, and a lady was deprived of her husband and three children. Sach was the force of the explosion that a portion of the boilers passed through a warehouse and nearly demolished it, and killed a man who was standing near it. 1 he freight, a large portion of which belonged to the passengers, will only bo recovered in a damaged state, as the boat sank soon alter the explosion.

Platform. The people want no platform, as politicians call thera," says the Indiana State Journal. On behalf of the Whig party of Indiana, the organ declares that the people (we presume be means the Whig people) want o platform, no declaration of principles. As Bennett of the Herald once said, talk of principles, principles are things we despise." So wilt the Whig party, who t Gen jichoas MeCarty, the Whig canpport didate for Governor of Indiana, like a candid and an li test man. is traveling over the State ana avowing uu principles. The Convention which nominated him laid down their platform; so have the Whig conventions in most ol the Mates, but no svowti oi principles lor tue public eye seems to suit vhem best in a Presidential election. The reason for this dark Mil double policy is obvious. No Whig can be elected o.i a truly Whig platform. Their object is then to cheat the people, and then after they have socceeded. to fasten on the country the pol'CT of th Prly In the great contest between Jeflerson and the elder Adams tho platforms of the Republican and Federal parties were clearly denned. The distinguished leaders ofthat contest had filled high and important positions j in the government. Their opinions were on record. Such wns the character of all tbe oolilical contests down to 1840, when the committee at Cincinnati announced that the Whigs must take Gen. Harrison with a gener ous confidence and require no declarations for the public eye.

He is perfectly silent and his friends even refuse to construct a platform for him to stand on. Had he becn a civilian like Mr. Clay, Mr. Fillmore, and Mr. Webster, there might be some show of reason for this silence. Their political acts and opinions are part of the written history of the country. Their record is made. They stand on the national Whig platform, and standing there, have no chance of success. Hence the necessity of selecting a candidate who has no polcnl record, whose opinions may be construed to suit cirenmstances, and whose political thermometer will rise and fall with the latitude and the degrees of heat and cold. For this reason the ; j Whigs now oppose a platform. They want the orftces, audio obtain a boon so desirable, they are willing to 1 throw measures and principles to the dogs.

It has met a most signal rebuke in the recent election in Connecticut, and we look for its repeal in Maine. Better fall back on the old organizations, the Old Washingtonian Temperance Society, the Sons, and the Social Order. Let Temperance be preached to all men, and let its advocates be more temperate in their abuse of men who disagree with them, and more converts will be made to the good cause. The way it Works. The Brookville American (Whig) has been the most rabid Temperance paper in the State. The editor, Mr. Clarkson. has openly advocated the Maine law.

Wiiiu Convention. The Whig members of Congress have had two meet-

iug& for the purpose of agreeing on the time and place Qj holding a Whig National Convention to nominate camiidates for President and Vice President, and have so far been unable to come to any conclusion. They aie to make another effort to-morrow evening. The great obstacle is the compromise. A special dispatch from Washington to the Tribune office says: "The Caucus adjourned at 11 to Tuesday week, without doing anything but discuss the Compromise. About sixty persons were present, as I learn. Mr. Mangtira presided, and Chandler of Penn., and Docke , ry Q pr. p were Secretaries. Badger was for adjourning right off but Truman Smith was for doing something. Humphrey Marshall was the first to bring in the Compromise, which he said must be made the great thing in the Whig platform. Gentry of Teno., Outlaw of N. C, Walsh of Md.. Parker of Ind., Brown of N. Y.f Campbell of 0., Thad. Stevens of Penn , and Truman Smith made speeches, some lor and soma against bringing this new issue into the WL'- creed." The northern Whigs must submit to an endorsement of the Compromise, or there will be a row and a break up. Speaking ol the utter impossibility of any union ! on tni, qae,tion the Tribune says: j u Xhere are two part8 to tbe Whi party There u j a Northern and a Southern division, a Slavery and an ' aoli-Slavcry wing. There always was and always i must be, while it exists as a National party. On tbe , ul(jcct of slaTery there can be DO ement. The i two sections of the party must do now, and hereafter, ' " lnev always have done, agree to disagree, or the par ty must go to pieces. There would be just as much Sanaa in the Northern Whins insistinc that the Southorn Whigs should set about exerting themselves for the iiri: . I a . . ..

'hat Northern Whigs shall abdicate the position they . . . . . . - . have alwavs he d in onoosition to Slavery, and tum its advocates and supporters. rf - r i j j There is no sense in either Kooptation Thern ia n natural nntnimnism in their several positions and relations as to Slavery that forbid co-operation upon that subject. And to attempt to j forco an Unnatorat qnion like the one we haTe becn eon- , templating, is just the most senseless thing that any man or set of men can possibly undertake." Hon. Humphrey Marshall, the big member of Congress from the Louisville District, l as incurred the everplatform. Our neighbor of the Journal has become sorely vexed with his Whig brother, and tinder the influence of bad humour writes as follows : " A Mr. Humphrey Marshall, a representative in Congress from the State of Kentucky., we believe, has written a letter in which he says that, unless Gen. Scott shall give certain pledges about the "ßnality" of the Fugitive Slave Law, he cannot get the vote of a single I slaveholding State! It may be that Mr. Marshall coni ceives that A holds the whole Sou South in hü hands and can do with it as he pleases, hence this declaration. Such a conception on his part would not be more ridicu,ous l"a th on he entertained at the time or the elec.o' i T I ... .1 i... : .... i i ..... ..i, ,:. . i i iiuu ui veil, tayiui, kudu ne iiiiauicu iiiiuscii ui 10 ue Secretary at War. The real seoret of his opposition to j Gen. Scott is the fact that he declined recommending him for that position. It is time the motives that govern such men should be known that whatever influence their position in Congress may give them, may be counteracted. This is telling tales out of school, John. If Fillmore should be nominated you will have to take this all back. Fertility of Oregon. A writer in one of the Oregon papers, describing the feUility of the soil in Polk connty, sayt: "As an instance of the fertility of the soil in this re ! gion, I will state that one of my neighboring farmers of undoubted vrjiritv mformp.l mo that lar harraef ha , v , - - - . "X measured some heads of his oats : one measuring 22 inches, another 33 inches in length. He also informed above yield was made on ground without any manure, or any superior cultivation. "Turnips frequently grow to the weight of 2 or '0 pounds. As to our other vegetable productions, we bp. lieve them fully equal to any we ' read about,' though we have not been careful to weigh or measuie pailiaularly." Mrs. Gaines's Case. The New York Journal of Commerce learns by telegraph from Washington, that the Supreme Court of the United Slates have refused a re-hearing to Mrs. Gaines, widow of Gen. Gaines, by a vote of 4 to 2. This we suppose ends the chapter. Had her claims been sustained, she would have becn probably the wealthiest person in the United States. There have been times uring the progress of the suit, when it is said she might have compromised for half a million of dollars. Another Murder.

HoVsE. At 9 o'clock the House was called to order. Mr. Sale, of Vermillion county, presented his credentials and took the usua! oath of office. Mr. Nelson, submitted a series of t evolutions, accompanied by appropriate remarks, expressive of the feelings of the members of the House, on learning of the demise of the Hon. J. W. Holliday, of Blackford county; after which the House adjourned, as a token of respect for the deceased In the afternoon, Mr. Howell, of Blaekford. nresented his credentials and was sworn. Mr. Owen, from the joint select committee on revision reported a bill "relalive to tne payment ol the public debt ' a bill "to enforce the 13th article of the Constitution" a bill "in re lation to mortgages'' and a bill "concerning real proalienation thereof;" which were read the Mr. Stover, from the same committee, re ported a bill "defining the boundaries of the counties of the State, and the jurisdiction of the counties on the Wabash and Ohio rivers; which was read a first time.

Produce the Documents. One of Gov. Weight's Hobby-Hobses Dead! A tew davs after Gov. Weight was nominated for re.elee- : tion, he gave it out along the street and in divers ways, that he should, on a certain night, at the Representative Hall, lay down his "platform'' for the campaign. Wo attended to see him, and hear him. He talked in his sterotyped phrase about "compromise Lomg ihe richest word in the language," and, about knowing no North, South, käst, West, or anything else in particular, in , f i . . i . . . . the first part ol his speech. He then charged the V hi" party with being responsible for the system of Internal Improvements of 1836. Should he continue this course it would be well for some Whig, in every county where I L . . . i i-n i ir- mm ne may spcan, to go 10 me nera s omee anu get Mouse Journal ol" the session of 1836 7, and turn to page 253. At the conclusion of the Governor's speech, ask him, in the most bland and polite manner possible, whether he is tbe same Joseph A. Wright whose name you tiud n J tf a a m a a a recoruea as voting iortue auoption oi tne lollowing resolutions : Mr. O wen, after having obtained leave, orTered the following resolutions : "Resolved, That in the opinion of this House, it is expedient to extend the system ol" internal improvement entered upon least year, to an amount of not exceeding one million and a half of dollars. "Resoifd, That a committee of two from each Congressional district, be appointed, with instructions to prepare and report to the House, without delay, a bill embracing such works, not exceeding a million and a ball (as above.) as shall, in their opinion, give the most i r . ... . rr a - r senerai sansiaciion 10 uisanecteu portions oi tne State, having teference first, to the probable product ivenessofthe works embraced ; secondly, to their being located, no far as practicable, in such portions of the State as have been heretofore unprovided for in the general system." Should ho attempt to dodge giving a direct answer (as he did on a recent occasion when asked whether or not he was in favor of the Maine Temperance law,) just turn to page 254. of the same document, and read tho following resolution, introduced by Mr. Vandeveer "Resolved, That it is inexpedient, at this time, to add "7 new wur" l" l,,e sysiem oi internal improvements And then ask him whether he is the same individual whose name you 6nd recorded against the resolution ? Then let him, if be can, tell why it was, if the ten million system was too large, that he wanted to add one and a half million more to it ? That will knock one plank out of his platform, and tne whole affair will then colapse, so that no two planks will remain to mark tbe spot where it once stood. Indiana Journal. Out of this resolution grew the celebrated "Calf Bill" of the session of 1836 '3? : so called because it was a mere sucking Calf compared to the mammoth bill of the preceding session This was the first year of Governor Wright's ser c T 1 "C' . He was was a young man the youngest member of the body. At that time there was no attempt io repeal the Mammoth System.

Wright's true position in relation to the system at that early period. By reference to the Journals of the Hons.'. t the same session, at page 292. we lind the following : "Mr. Wright asked and obt.u.ietl leave to introduce ' A bill for the i l isMtkauoii of the public works,' which was read. Mr. Yandeveer moved to reject it " It was rejected, ayes 63; noes 2. Among the ayes in lavor of rejecting and opposed to t-l.issification, are such prominent Whigs as Thomas Dueling, T. J Evans, Robert H:inna, David Maey, Jos. G. Marshall. A. W. Mortis, Milton Stapit, Cab ! B Smith, and ' Henry P. Thornton. Among the noes, (those who were in favor of classification and opposed tu the original system,) we find such Democrats a John I Disk the Democratic candidate for AuJitoi of State, R D Owen. Abel C. Pepper, and Joseph A. Wbicht. By this record it will be seen that Governor Wright was the first lo move in favor of a system of classification of the public works, which, if it bad been adopted, would have saved millions to the State. Unable to break the ranks of the Mends of the system , who stood firm and united, Gov. Wright, bv resolution ( attempted to restrict the amount of the annual expen ditnres on the system. We find at page 34iof the same Journal, the following: "Mr. Wright offered tbe following rcsolun n "Renolreii, That the committee on the canal fund be instructed to report to this House a bill resti c ti: o the board of public works in the amount of money they shall borrow per year to dollars per annum, and the board of public works shall not expend more than dollars per annum in the prosecution of the works of internal improvements, now in progress in Indiana." For the purpose of defeating the resolution, Mr. Proffit, (Whig,) moved to fill the blank with five millions, but before the vote on this amendment was taken, Mr Haymond (Whig,) moved to indefinitely potone the resolution, which was carried ayes 60; noes 30, show ing the vote to be, substantially, the same as on the clas sification resolution the "System Men" amounting to about sixty. In favor of postponing thi resolution are such Whigs as Dowling. Evans, Marshall. Morris, Proffit, Stapp, C. B. Smith, kc., and in favor of tbe resolution, such Democrats as Dunn, Pepper. Owen and Wright. This is tbe same Jos. A. Wright who it nrw a candi date for Governor of Indiana. He commenced his po litical life by a firm and decided opposition la (hat system, which for years crushed lLo energies of our youao and glorious State. We are glad that Mr. Defrees, the mouth piece of Whiggery in Indiana, has tendered this issue. Gov. Wright will meet it with the "Documents" in every county. These assaults on otir worthy Governor will rc-act with terrible force on their authors. We shall hereafter have more to say on this subject. It has been forced on us, and we are ready to meet it. HjT Gen. Stapp was the Agent of State at a time when the most reckless speculating spirit that ever ex isted was rife throughout our whole country. He r unfortunate in ins negotiations : but there is a re.narka , ble fatt 1,at whilst Geu Stapp ('ce a poor I man, a democratic successor to the same place, made a : fortune out of it ! Will the Ledger explain that ? If it dec-lines the task, we shall do it ourselves. I here are many things connected with the management of our sus pended debt, while under the control of Democratic of-ficc-holders, that have not vet been laid before the people a a a . Princely democratic fortunes have been made in a mi ner that, if done by whigs, would have Ions since damned them to eternal infamy. Indiana Journal. Come on with your proof Mr. Journal, we deny all your charges. There never was a Democratic Fund Commission, and no Democratic Agent of State ever made anything more out of the office than his alary If there is such a case give us the names, of the agents, and the facts produce the proofs. We will not take your bare assertions lay the whole facts liefore ibe pub- ! lie.
