als. We have no aerthly doubt, but that the
scenes of conflsion and riot, Of elimination
and recrimination, Of Sunday and midnigh,
sessions, 81 recklessness and profigacy, intol-
erance and persecution, which have dis0raced
lour National Coupcils within two. 81 three
years, have done much towards thsgeneral
prevalence Of characterization and q Izempt Of
legal authority, which now 50 frequently iaa..-
Ices resorts to mob law, much to the discredit Of
our country and of free institutions, and to the
jeopardy Of individual and social tranquility.
But itwould require too much time and space
to point out all the various ways in which le-
gislation reaches and affects private welfare
and happiness. Irresistibly plain is it to our
perception, that the measures Of a government
must operate upon all its component parts.--
We know this is not the common opinion.
We often hear persons remark, that ..the Cleo
ton Of this or that man, or the adoption of this
that affect their situation.
But it is want Of reflection and observation
that leads TO such expression. The wind that
nproots the oak Of the forest bends and agi-
tates the lowliest shrub, and when the great
tree falls it crushes to the earth all beneath it,
and the genial influence of sun and rain reach
es all alike, TO nourish and invigorate. So
are mild and equitable and polite laws, or
their opposite, felt in all the ramifcations Of
society.
Having, as we trust, shown that each and
every individual is directly and intimately in
terested in the action of the public functiona-
ries, we shall in the next number endeayor to
make appear in what manner poste,lty, in all
FIXTURE time, must be affected by the course of
legislation no,c.
IMPROVEMENT OF THE RAPIDS.
We are happy to learn that the President has
directed Col. SHRrvE to commence work upon
the rapids between this port and st. Louis,
under the authority of the law making appro-
priation fot the improvement Of the Mississip-
pi and Missouri rivers.

TIE RAIL RoAD ACcIpENT.--We copy
from the Boston Post of yesterday, the fol-
lowing account of their sad accident of
Wednesday:
"Various rumous prevailed yesterday af-
ternoon respecting the number of persons
wounded, the extent of their injuries, and
the cause of the accident; but the following
we believe, to he the true states Of the facts,
so far as they could be gathered from indi-
viduals attached to the Providence Cars.
The Eng ineer of the Providence train sup
posed from the time indicated by his watch
that he should be able to reach the Depot
/. some minutes before the Dedham train
would start and he therefore declined halt
ing at the usual stopping place, to allow
that train TO pass him. On the other hand
the man stationed in the car-house between
the Depo; and Roxbury, although he must
have heard the Providence train coming,
failed to apprize the Dedham train of its
approach, and induce it TO halt. Both
trains, therefore, pressed towards each 9th
er, under full steam, being hid from each
other by curve in the road, till approach
ed within the distanne of few rods. At
tempts were then made to arrest the pro-
crcss of each, but II was not possible to en-
tirely check their velocity I'LL they came in
collision, by which the accommodation Car
of the Providence train was dashed all 10
pieces. 1t was filed with marines, five or
six of whom were severely. but not moitally
injured. The fireman of the Providence
train had both legs broken in attempting to

in jumping off, received slight hun ia the
