WHAT AVE ARK DOING AT HOME.
The Nomination of General Scott by the
Whig Convention at Rtltimorcj was the most
flagrant insult ever offered to the public opin-
ion of a civilized nation. Throughout the Uni-
ted States amon" all honorable and patriotic
Whigs a sentiment of profound regret and mor
tification lias oceii cxprc.cu. ino intelligent
man doubts that the Whig party has now ceas-
ed to exist ltd life has been terminated by an
act of suicide so contemptible so undeserving
of public commi.-scratiou that the best friends
of the deceased will even rejoice in witnessing
the funeral obsequies. It is no doubt true that
common place men who.-c vision was not strong
enough to sec the eagle in his flight have tried
to check the grandeur of his soaring and they
have pretended that Wcb.-tcr did not possess
the elements ot popularity- ltliout exception
those who pretended to be his fricndshavc plea-
ded in excuse for the nomination of his peacock
rival that Mr. Webster was not an available
candidate although they have lost no occasion
of assuring their friends and the public that
thev would have infinitely preferred him to any
of his rivals. The sincerity of this mode of
talkingthc public has already had sufficient op-
portunity to judge of. Mr. Webster's whole en
reerif it has not drawn out as man- hurrahs as
some other men's has shown that he has a dee-
per lodgment in the confidence of the nation
than any other man of his party. Whenever
Mr. Webster has come out with his views on any
subject his opinions have controlled the action
and the policy of the nation. We might cite
many instance in proof of this.

Poor Henry Clay the great the gifted
the noble the very Cato of our Republic the
man who emblazoned to the world more brilliant
ly than any of his cotemporaries the mighty
rigns of hope for all nations. Henry Clay died
with the sad consciousness that ho had over-estimated
the intelligence the gcniusand the pat-
riotism of his party; and when his heart-strings
were breaking if the genius of the political
western world did linger in the last moment a-
round the scenes it bad haunted so longit could
not have been unconscious that he himself had
been immolated upon the altar of political ex-
pediency which turned out to be political folly
in 1S40 and political ruin in 1848 and the
great and glorious old man doubtless went
down to his grave over.-hadowed by the cloud
that the Whigs seem destined to invoke over
the sepulchrcsof their great men.
Daniel Webster! the very mention of such a
name stirs up in the blood of an American a
summation has been "laid on the shelf." Hilt
there is great consolation in the "reflection that
while both the Democrats and the 'Whigs have
deserted their lcadcrsthc Whigs alone hate de-
serted their principles. Pierce aa our readers
will sec by referring to another column is no
unworthy representative of the great doctrine
we have iuhcrited from our fathers the Union
for the sake of the Union und what it cost
the nationality of our thirty-one republics stretch-
ing so far that nothing but the glorious sunrise
can light one border and nothing but the sun-
set gleams can terminate the frontier on the
other.
AVc arc sorry to write these words but we can
not withhold them; and. moreover we are will-
ing to appeal to the better judgment to the so-
ber second though of all the great and true na-
tional Whigs of this country and wc should
not be afraid to await the decision the1 would
award. Where is the national Whig in this
country from Maine to California that has ha-
zarded the opinion that Scott was the choice of
his party. Ilill Seward has done it: so has Ho-
race Greeley. These arc the Ephcsian wretches
that have already lit the torch and flung it un-
der the columns of oifr political temple. These
are the demagogues who have agitated merely
for the sake of agitationjthat have reduced states
manship to this degradation; that have played
that game which but for good Whigs and such
Democrats as Cass Houston Douglass and oth
ers would have ended the history of our Union
and in the fine language of Webster even the
young American eagle would have fallen from
mid-heaven when soaring to the sun struck by
the fatal dart of disunion. These arc the men

respondent furnishes the Loudon News with the
following narrative of a very extraordinary oc-
currence: On Tuesday the English brig Crusader nrri-
ved at Cowcs from St. Jago do Cuba and lau-
ded the captain and crew of the French ship Pau-
line lie Chevalier master. It appears from the
statement of the captain that on the 17th of
last month whilst ou their passage from Porto'
nico in longitude -W ucg. 1U nun. west ol r.-i-ris
and latitude 40 deg. 30 min. north with a
cargo of sugar bound to Havre at about 11 o'-
clock A. M. whilst under easy sail the vessel
a new ship of 400 tons well built and sound
was struck by a monstrous whale on the Ikiw
and the damage was so great that the ship filled
almost instantly.
Finding that nothing could be done to sae
her the captain and crew consisting of ten men
after stowing away a bag of biscuit and a little
water embarked and in tittcen minutes al
ter mc vessel was sirueK Mie sunK. for three
days and nights they were tossing about not be

God in Heaven knows that every blow levelled
against the slaveholder by these fanatics lias
fallen upon the head of the slave. These arc
the men who would begin by burning down the
temple of liberty over the a.-hcs of Washington.
They arc the descendants of that race of politi
cal vipers who seventy years ago showed their
heads at the .North and in the bouth and tried
upon the subject and makes statements which
if true certainly are worthy of attention. There
can be nodoubt that a large and valuable portion
ot the public domain was squandered by the last
Legislature and bestowed upon a foreign compa
ny consisting of Peters and his associates; men
who never rendered the Republic or State the
smallest service; men who long since torfeited
their contract with the Government for non-
compliance with its conditionand most of vhom
to stop the consolidation of the American Re-
public. This same question was then agitated
by the very class of men who have agitated ever j have never yet left their European homes. Not-
sinec and it is for personal elevation that the withstanding this fact was notorious and that
scoundrels keep it up.
e wish too that Ave could exempt the bouth
from a word of censure here; for it so happens
that at the very last site iavc just role cnmnih that committee to the Senate and House that
to nominate Scott. So far as the Herald of" the they had entirely failed in introducing one-half

" The' statistics published by the Comptroller
for the years 1850 and '51 show Harrison
Rrazoria Galvceton mid Harris to be the weal-
thiest counties in the State. The taxable prop-
erty of each and the revenue p'aid to the State
arc set down as follows:
Valitc df Property. Revenue.
Harrison - $:1 7037 Jo - - 15207 89
Hrazoria - :? 003.1550 - - 3170 Hd

The principal wealth of Harrison county con-
sists of negroes which for 1851; are valued at.
nearly two and a half millions of dollars. Gal-
veston county piid a larger revenue to the State
than any other except Harrison. A comparison
of the following towns gives the most reliable
information as to the amount of business done
in each:
Galveston hid in 1851 r2 st'ircs $:iSS705 valiti-
ble of merchandize on haw! January 1st. Tux paid
on merchandize s? J33 151; value of ton it lots $5)77-
(555. San Antonio at the same time had "2 stores mer-
chandize on hand .January 1st $12555)0. Value of
town lots $14-4750.
Houston had 31 stores. .Merchandize on hand
.(unitary 1st $255) 1S5. Tax paid on merchandize
$3SS 77. Value of town lots. $395120.
The above figures show that the amount of
business done in Galveston is greater than in
cither of the towns with which wc compare it
and consequently greater than in any other
town in the State and we have no donbt that
in the ratio of increase both in business and the
value of town property since the report we re-
fer to was made Galveston has fully kept pace
with the most prosperous of her neighbor.-.

It is a very common practice for persons afflicted with

It ought not to entitle a man to become Pres-

to have' won victories with the aid of the best

miest days of his power Napoleon' never mar-
shalled such soldiers. He had more men he
had more cannon he had a prestige that was al-
most omnipotent; but never in three hours did
he work among his enemies such ruin as was

GOOD NIGHT.
Good night to to thee lady! though many
Have joined in the dance to-night.
Thy form was the fairest of any
Where nil was seducing and bright;
Thy smile was the softest and dearest.
Thy form the most sylph-like of all
And thy voice the most gladsome and clearest
That e'er held a partner in thrall.
Good night to thee lady! 'tis over
The. waltz the cmadrille and the song
The whispered farewell of the lover
The heartless adieu of the throng;
The heart that was throbbing with pleasure
The eyelid that longed for repose
The beaux that were dreaming of treasure
The girls that were dreaming of beaux.
Thcro are tone9 that will haunt us tho' lonely
Our path be o'er mountain or eea;
There arc looks that will part from us only
When memory ceases to be;
There lire hopes which onr burden can lighten
Though toilsome and itccp be the way;
And dreams that like moonlight can brighten.
With a light that is clearer than day.
There arc names that wc cherish tho' nameless;
For aye on the lip they may be;
There are hearts thattho' fcttcrcd.arc tameless
And thoughts unexpressed but still free !
And some arc too grvc for a rover
And some for a husband too light.
The ball and my dream arc all over
Good night to thee lady! good night!

THE UNKNOWN SHIPS.
Slowly drifting down from the frozen seas of
the North to lo.-e themselves in the wters to-
wards the equator annually come vast herds of
icy rocks; crags that would be immortal in their
native desertswhcre land and water forget their
separate nature in the common rigor of the iron
frosts; but wandering down to more living wa
ters these rocky pinnacles melt and die. A-
mong the licni- last year was a field or floe of
ice and on that floe were two ship idle and de
serted performing a strange helpless voyage.
One smaller vessel going to Quebec sails near
them and they pass on their way not nneeii:is
well they might havc done; but they were neg
lected. Many m the Quebec bound vessel wish
cd to explore those deserted wandering homes
but the master was sick and listless and would
not be disturbed. Were they Franklin's ships
the Erebus and Terror? The question occurred
to one porson on board but it was uiisolvedjand
now a year after the event Admiralty and pub-
lic are engaged in seeking evidence.
At first the story was point blank disbelieved;
then it was credited as a tale of a delusive ap
parition a mirage; then it was thought possible
that ships there might have bcenbut not Frank
lin's only wrecked whalers. Now however
the details of a minute examination strengthen
the probability that the ships were Franklin's.
No one can know; no one can as vet deny it. It
is mournful to reflect that if they were the his
toric ships Erebus and Terror the last should
be that passing sight on their voyage of mys-
tery. llow much one would give to knoio all that
might have been learned positively or even neg-
atively from those ships! There were men on
board the brig who felt the impulse although
they did not know that a reward had been ofler-
ed for the discovery. The mate in laudable
curiosity wished "to rumagc the cabins." Had
he done so we should have known what the ves-
sels were. But he did not obtain permission
from the sick and listless master. Perhaps if

An Excursion Boat on Fiiie. We learn
from the Newark (N. J.) Advertiser that on
Thursday the 8th inst. the steamboat Nimrod
while'going on an excursion with the first Uni-
vcrsalist Sabbath School numbering eight hun-
dred souls took fire about a mile from Bep'cn
Point. A scene of great confusion ensued: a i
number of ladies fainted and a rush was made
to the back part ot the promenade deck where
a slight railing only prevented hundreds from
being precipitated into the bay. Fortunately
the fire was quickly suppressed. It originated
in some wood over the boiler filling the boat;
est in Lowell and the highest ability of the
Court and bar was expended upon it.
MrnnKK of Coi.. Ckaio V. S. A. A letter
from I.icut. J. B. Magnuler of the artillery to
Senator D.iw.-oii of Georgia published in the
Washington Union gives the following account
of the murderer of T.icut. Col. Craig of the
third infantry.betwecn San Diego and Camp Yu-
ma in California on the morning of the Gth
June:
The circumstances of his death illustrate the
character f the man and are briefly these:
Col. Craig on the morning of the tith inst. when
about one-third of the wavp across the desert. from
this side met two deserters from Camp Yuma
trying to make their way into the settlements.
They were on foot and armed with percussion
muskets. The Colonel and his party were on
mules. He pursued the deserters taking with
him two sorgoants who are like himself were
armed with pistols and sabres. He followed
them two or three miles urging them to surren-
der and stating to thorn that he did not intend
to u-e force. At. length the deserters halted
and Col. Craig taking off his sabre and pistol
and handing them to the sergeant in their pres-
ence dismounted and unarmed appro.irhed them
addressing them at the same time. The Colo-
nel's niiile having strayed at that moment one
of the sergeants went to catch it. Tn the act of
doing so he heard two shots in rapid succession.
Turning hi head he saw the Colonel and Ser
geant Urals fall. Thev then commenced firing!
deiiigncd within the time tiresciihed hv law.

most honorable and estimable man.
With the aid of Indians both the murderers

ClIINKSK PllKPARATIOXs TOR Y.l. Til a
work of the Bcv. E. (ititzlaff the well known
missionary in China sonic curious revelations of
the internal history of that country are given.
In speaking of the preparations made for war
with the English in ISoO we are informed that
one mandarin proposed to build ships three times
as large as those of the British and to inter
ccpt their vessels and annihilate them one by
one before reaching their destination.
A second was still bolder. "Hon. Chunn a
general at PekinwIto stooiS in as high estimation
among his countiymcn as Xcy did among the
French then suggested to build a steamer that
could carry 0000 nienhalf divers and half gun-
ners and that could be worked at the rate of a
mile in a few minutes. With this extraordina
ry vessel he was ready to face the whole Brit-
ish fleet. The moment he came in sight of it
the divers were to jump into the water and bore
large holes in the bottoms of the men of war
while the gunners were to keep up an incessant
fire."
There was a third suggestion equally saga-
cious. This was nothing more nor less than to
march an army of 000000 right through the
deserts of Siberia and Russia to London and
thus put a stop to all further operations.

The emigration from England for Australia
goes on in one continuous stream; a sufficient
supply of vessels cannot be found to meet the
demands for passage; and at Liverpool the number
ot emigrants continues to increase. During the
last month seventy emigrant ships left the Mersey
with 20827 persons on board the largest number
ever known durinza corresponding period. The
Irish and Germans who sail from Liverpool are
chiefly bound to the ports of the United States;
whilst the Scotchmen Welshmen and English
men are chiefly bound to Australia bo far
during the present year 62377 emigrants have
left Liverpool.

AN IMPORTANT
THE HISTORY OF DEMOCRACY.
IN THE
I'NITED STATES OF AMERICA
Embracing ahn a complete renew of the different
Political Parties awl nil of the measures adopted
hit the Colonics and by the Goranmrnt o) the
Unit id Slate since t he Declaration of Indepen-
dence. It in' necessarily unbrace a ;rcat variety
of statistics anil it is the design oj the author to
reiidtr it a standard reference l-ook in which may
be found a record oj the great political (rents oj
the country fully authcnt'uattd and properly clas
sificd.
BY THK AUTHOR OF
"THE RE1MM1LIC OF THK UNITED
STATES OFAMERIOA."
Tuts woik will embrace all the great topics
Inch our people ami povcrnmenl have discussed
ami decided during a period of more than two
two hundred jeais. It will illustrate the origin
nntinc.and ncrmaneiicv of Democratic principles.
It will be in fact a complete political history of
the Colonies ami nf our Republic. tracmR the un
paralleled success of the latter to Democratic sour-
ces. It w ill not be speculative but strictly a phil-
osophical and popular history based upon acknowl
edged facts.
The tendency nf such a work will he to individ-
valize the ereat Democratic Party; to give it an
identity of bcins which all will recognize and real-
ize; to give it a high standard of ptinciple senti-
ment and action; to create a common pride in the
achievements of the past and to give confidence in
all that is to come.
The glory of the Democracy may be seen in the
progress and in the institutions of our country;
and a just and compiehcnsivc vip.w of the subject
should embrace the character of men measures
and results. A party that is advanced and sus
tained by ihe eteinal principles ot truth and ot jus
tice should have a common consciousness a com
mon pride- It should be able to know itself and
lo have an abiding confidence in its ow n high des
tiny.
An acquaintance with its acts and with the
master minds which have tmnorcd its ranks will
ccomphsh this great end. It will lead the Demo-
crats tu respect their party for what it has done
and to respect consistency in themselves as its ac-
countable members. It will secure concentration
of thought and action and give lo all party move-
ments an deration of motive and an efficiency
which will render success as beautiful as it must
Lo certain.
With a view to secure an extensive circulation
the work will be published in numbers. Each
number will conain sixty four royal octavo pages
with a fine engraved portrait and he furnished at
25 cents per number.
