DIsrRIcT CONVENTION We trust that the Dem
ocratic Wings of Caledonia County will bear in
mind that the Convention meets at Danville, ne9t
Thursday. No minor consideration should prevent
full attendance. No doubt can exist that il the
Wings of the 9th district will unite their strength
at the next canvass, they can return member OF
sound political principles-one who will scorn TO
wear the Van Buren, collar, and manfully and ably
sustain those measures which will redeem our coun-
try from the blight and mildew of the present ad-
ministra ton. From every part of the Union the
accounts are most cheering and shall the 9th DIS
trlct, by apathy, lose the opportunity OF show
ing how much she values the institutions OF the
country, especially in view of the recent vote OF
her present representative, tocuhing the Treasury
Circular? Will not the froemon awake TO the i'm
portance of securing the election of one who in the
time of danger--the time Of our countrys peril, will
if need be, burst the shackles Of party, and fly TO
the rescue OF his country

LIGHrNING.-Mr. Henry McGatley, son of Mr.,
David McGaffey of Ly ndon was struck by lightning,
Sunday afternoon while riding in a wagon, near
Lyndon Centre The fluid struck his umbrel-
la, and running down the staff, rent his hat, from
top to bottom, thence touching and burning his
hip and one foot, passed off doing slight iniu-
ry to the wagon. His horse instantly killed,
the reins cut in twain, and himself thrown sense
less to the ground, where he was found soon after,

mi. w., Rrron Convention holden at Dan
NJ - "Wednesday last nominated as candidates
s,.,o sonoto. Robert Harvey of Barnet, and
M.M;Ilon of Danville, and adopted score of
,.,;o,s some of which deserve passing o.
Mover was sounder truth uttered than in thu
o'I .osoluton, which declares, that the issue is
between the friends of sound currency, con-
.or,ible at all times into gold and silver, and the
.dvocates of unsound and irredemable issues
witness the late law Of Congress authorizing the
issue of ten millions of rredeemabe treasury notes
"a pure rag currency, never convertible into gold
and silver. Witness the efforts Of Clay and Web
ster and all other prominent Wings in both houses
of Congress to stay this food of irredemabe paper,
and to break down the barriers which tho Govern
ment had placed in the way of return 10 specie
payments. Witness the late triumphs ofthe friends
of sound currency, in the passage of C|ay's and
Webster's resolution for repeating the Treasury
Circular and thus enabling the Banks to resume
specie payments, Notwithstanding all the efforts OF
Wright Benton, Calhoun & Cambreleng,to resist the
voice of the people, echoing from every part ei inc
Union and commanding the administration to aban-
don its war upon the currency, The Convention
exhausted their ingenuity in coming some nan
dozen resolutions relative to Nick Biddle, who ike
Hamlets ghost seems to haunt their maginations at
every step, and finally take Their leave of him by
expressing greater horror of his influence than OF
African Slavery, which, by the way, they profess
SO consider very bad thing.
The 10th resolution explains the mystery whyV b.
men and especially " B. members of Congress so
patiently the Collar soon as they are identified
with The party We copy it entire. that it
is the duty Of every good citizen, after frankly ex
pressing his choice of officers, to yield his pirate
opinion to the majority, and to approve and support
the administration in all its proper measures"
But the happiest joke is contained in the l4th
resolution AT a time when the Wings predomi-
nate in all the States in the Union, except Isaac
Hills State, and some of the slave holding States
and at q time, when from every quarter, we hear
that the sensible and sound portion of the Van Blu
rem party are leaving the sinking ship and rallying
with the democracy of numbers under the Wing
solve " tina. the party who now call themselves
democratic Wings are entitled to that name
than the Turk is to the name of Christian"
We recollect reading in very old book the fable
ved the trees of the forest come and take shell
Ter under his shadow, and we half inclined to
10 believe that the writer Of this resolution imi-
taton of lothian in his fable intended 1t as piece
of irony--a mere joke upon the party which claims
to embody all the democracy Of the country.

LOSS OF THE STEAMER NEW ENG


LAND.
The steamboat New England, hence for Bath
and Gardiner, was run into yesterday morning
about one o'clock, fifteen miles Sc Of Boon Is
land, by the schooner Curlew, Capt, Crockett, of
and from East Thomaston for this port. The
schr was standing to the leeWard Of the boat,
and when short distance from her, uffed up
with the intention of passing her bow. Before
this could be effected she struck the larboard bow
of the steamer and after getting clear passed on.
The pilot Of the New England, finding that her
bow was stove in and thai she was rapidly filling
with water, hailed the schooner, which then
lowered her sails and the steamer ran along side.
The passengers about seventy in number,
among them fifteen ladies, We're by this time on
deck and when the boat reached the Curlew Il
general rush was made to board her. In their
eagerness several jumped too soon and fell over
boprd, but they were all picked up, unframed,
with The exception of Mr.. Standish of Provi
dence, who was crushed To death between the
two vessels. His remains were recovered and
brought up in the Curew,
The steamer sunk us low The promenade
deck, in which situation she remained. and her
boats were launched with the intention TO save
as much of the baggage aud freight as possible
Captain KmbuI and several the crew fe
manned in them for this purpose, Two vessels
which came up before the Curlew left, stopped
ut the request of Captain X. to receive what
might be recovered. On board the boat there
was between $7O OO0 and $500 lin specie ana
hlls-$45, 900 OF Which belonged to Mr. Stan
dish. The remainder was owned principally
by the boat and few OF the passengers-a small
sum being for one of the river hanks, we lihve
been unable TO learn which. 1t was thought
that this would be saved, us it was all in the Cap
tan's Office.
The Curlew proceeded on her voyage with
the passengers--mauy of whom had nothing on
but their night clothes, and arrived in the city "a,
bout two O'Clock yesterday been towed
fifteen miles by the steamer Portsmouth. When
she lost sight of the New England she remain
ed in the same position, with The vessel along
side.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN NANTUCKET.
4 most destructive fire occurred in Nantucket
on Saturday last 1t broke out in the steam rope
walks of Joseph James on the South Beach IA
bout three o'clock in the morning, and spread
very rapidly among the neighhorng buildings.
Among them three large, and several small
oil aud candle manufactures, boat builders,
shops, ten dwelling houses with sheds, out bull
dngs, Sc. These were all totally destroyed
and many others much damaged. The pro.
greSs of the fire was only arrested 10y blowing up
five wooden dwelling houses, which afforded
sufficient space for the engines to work to advIn
age,and gave the fireman control over the flames.
Nearly 100000 gallons of oil was burnt The
total loss is variously esmated--by none at less
than 000.-BoSton Atlas.

FROM THE NORTHERN FRONTIER.
DARING OUTRAGE.

An express from Waertown reached this city
yesterday afternoon, bringing dispatches to Gov.
Marcy from the District Attorney, Marshall, &c.
at that place; by which we regret 10 learn that a
most extraordinary outrage was committed within
the American water, early on Tuesday morning.
The British steamboat Sir Robert Peel, lying to
about seven miles from French Creek on the Riv-
er st. Lawrence, was iorHbly seized by body Of
armed men, supposed to be Canadian refugees set
on fire, and entirely consumed
The subjoined extracts from the letters the
Executive afford all the information yet received
touching this affair. We trust that by the prompt
action of the civil authorities, aided by the military
all farther aggression or apprehended retaliation may
be prevented aud that the perpetrators of the
outrage may be discovered and brought TO merlted
punishment.
Gov. Marcy, conceiving the circumstances such
to require the immediate interpostion of The
Stale authorities, left after the arrival of
the express in the evening for Utica, and thence
by relays of horses, to Watertown.
