Railroad Accident at Btedison*

This distinguished Mississippian made a speech at Vicks burg last Thursday evening. His audience was numerous and attentive. No report of his speech has come to hand; but, from a brief notice of it in the Sentinel, we leant that tlio systematic asaaultsof the North upon the institution of slavery—which are every day becoming more bold and more alarming —formed the basis of the General’s remarks. He argued that, against attacks, we were powerless to protect ourselves, as the North had the poweras well as the will to ruin us, and the only thing which remained that would effectually save us is the acquisition of Cuba, Jlo presented in a clear and forcible light the geographical and commercial advantages of the Island to. the United States, amt deduced the conclusion to which Buchanan, Mason and Soul came, at the Oslcml Conference, that we had the same right to use the means for its acquisition that a man had to extinguish a.ilame that threatened to consume his own dwelling.. He portrayed in a vivid manner (says the Sentinel) the oppressed and powerless condition of the people of Cuba, and the desire, but absolute impossibility, of any uprising among the people. The people are without arms, and a large ami vigilant army is stationed over them, which renders them as'pomer- , less for effectual revolt as the convicts of our penitentiary. His purpose has been to give them aid* the means of revolt, but in so doing to avoid any violation of our neutrality laws. ' He contended' that each American citizen had the right to emigrate where he pleases, and to take his rifle with him if hd chose, and it was his purpose to have met, by appointment, a number of United Slates citizens* beyond our borders, and there organize and then eflect a landing, os best they could, upon the coast of (Juba. Buch a course ho thought would uot have been in violation of the neutrality laws of the United States,' and would have secured the independence of Cuba, . -' -

The St. Louis Democrat thus talks of the effects upon that city by the outrages committed by the Missourians. It says: Wo have lately conversed with a gentleman from the East, who, speaks with authority, who says that-since the recent troubles in Kansas, along Mis* sonri border, and tho bitterest hostility manifested toward the Eastern emigrants,; arrangements have bean made by which the tide of settlers from the New England States, Kew York and Pennsylvania, will hereafter pass through Southern Iowa and entcr'ihc territory In that direction. ; This will bo a very serious loss to Our merchants, manufacturers, and steamboat men, and our people living along , the Missouri river. The profits arising from tho emigrant trade have been immense to our city and tho policy of ono portion of Missourians, who have thus driven thou* sands of dollars from our doors, has been one of the most hurtful we can conceive of The .money which has been homo to our doors upon this tide of emigration wjll now be diverted to enrich the Northwest, ’ and its cities of Chicago and Burlington. We have Iways felt in n measure secure against the rivalry of our,northern neighbors ns long asour ports were open and our rivers tree to the thousands of the human family who yearly seek the regions of the west, but we* confess now/cimc cur Stale has been so' fuUjy reprcseiitod and scandalized by Atchison and his .ruQin gang, .that there is danger in'store for us. Settlers will avoid: the Missouri, : river where its banks hold a-set of men who are sworn foes to emigration.- They will avoid oitr city where some of our journals and a portion of our inhabitants sympaI thize with and encourage these lawless, Itordv.ahd iibccoutcs our mrrehimts, our fiteamboatmen, and the enterprising ol our whole State, who can truly apprcctj ate the value of of Kansas emigration, and to whom the Ibsswill be incalculable, to look about, Jay the blame upon the proper persons, and strive by every means in-their pbiycr to rid themselves- of such a deadly fbc. to their best interests; and tho escutcheon of the Stale ’■ of such a disgrace. As long as.

Principles of W»«Wnp1on.

'•Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are inseparable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should tabor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these finest props of the duties of men and citizens. ...... Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principles."—Farewell Addrtn.

Accident to the NoniriEnsER. — The Northerner met with an accident on Thursday last, which nearly proved fatal to her.

In the News of April 4th, I find the published proceedings of an null-liquor law meeting at the Barkworks on the 31st of March, at which meeiing Mr. Case, a leading old liner, offered a resolution which Ibe Secretary says squinted towards the higher law doctrine—that is, open resistance to the law of the land; and in fact the whole object ot tbe getters up of the meeting was for tbe purpose of opposing and rendering odious the new temperaoce law. At that meeting also, Col. A, C. Pepper introduced a resolution, that when the meeting adjourn, it be to meet at Enterprise on the 4th of July, of course to continue and cany out the objects of the first meeting. The Editor of the News refers to this meeting in a very commendatory and patronizing manner, as much as to say, I sanction it all.— Again, in the News of May 30th, 1 find the following editorial :

AST Tne New York Herald, of tho 20tb, says; Tho Know, Nothing office holders at Washington, are doomed to the guillotine. The Cabinet aftcr.considcrable cogitation,'have decided to remove some two hundred, and W ilson, Commissioner of the General Land Office, and Clayton, Second Auditor, are among the most prominent of tho victims. Tho small try are to walk tho plank as soon os circumstances permit, it appears from bur dispatch, that Major B.B. French, lato Commissioner ol Public Buildings, who resigned his office and published a penitential recontalionof his Know Nothing errors, just prior to the municipal election in Washington, is to bo provided for by another appointment. This looks like a hint to each Know Nothing sinucr, to walk up to the confessional aud enter into negotiations for a dispensation.

The next news will no doubt be important, and is looked for with much anxiety.

The latest news from Mexico seems to show that tbe Revolutionists are gaining ground in that unhappy country. A party of pronunciados, commanded by Don Santiago Vidnuri, attacked Monterey on the 27lh ulL, at half-past U A. M., and took the city and tbe Black Fort next making prisoners of the Governor-General Cardona and sixty-seven officers. They also took n large quantity of munitions of war and twenty six pieces of artillery. In consequence of these events business was entirely suspended on the frontier. Carvajat crossed tbe river near Rio Grande City on the 15th insL, and CapisUan crossed .within five leagues of Matamoras'on the 6th, and immediately had an encounter with a party of Government troops. The result of the Virginia election is not as bad as it might be. The full returns show that the American ticket for Governor received ’a larger vote than was ever before cast in tbe Stale. Carlisle, Bayly, and Smith, three American candidates for Congress have been elected, and we have reduced the majority over five thousand since the last Presidential election.

Steamboat Lost. —We learn that tho Express one of the Missouri independent packets, struck a snag on Friday, the 15th, and sank Co her cabin door,’ at bpar island, in the upper Missouri. IS bo was from Council Bluffs with a - cargo of hemp, grain, etc. Tho boat is a total loss, and the same may be said of nino-pjnths of her cargo. Th vExpress was au old boat, purchased by Captain H. i>. Smith, for §5,500. She was not insured.

“ An Apraorauix Dar.—The 4th of July next is the day set by the Democratic Association for a grand turn out of lAe Democrats. It is to be a county meeting—speakers from abroad wilt be present and addrers the citizens of tbe county in the good old fashioned way. An opportunity will then be offered to backsliders—those who ate under tbe despotic yoke of Knqw-Notbingism, to come forward and declare their independence, throw off their shackles and once more enjoy tbe rights and privileges of fremeu."
