We appealed to the audience to sayif
they were willing to tolerate such ron
duct in their public officers so they
would soon become the mere drudges and
slaves of their rulers-that in 4 odern
times, tyranny reached the people through
the purse exclusively-and that Despot
who would wantonly fall up0n his subjects
and murder them, that had tina he lib
eral in yielding upt6e fruits II llsir in-
dustry to himself and 70 his co-uorzers,
would act as foolish part as the sheD.-
herd that should cut the throats Of the
sheep that yielded him their rich fleece.
We commended that If the people of
this Republic had the least intention Of
lPerpetuating to their posterity the free in
solutions bequeathed to them by their ia
tners' that they must arrest at once and
forever the corrupt and prohigate career
OF the Administration thew must ex.

FURTHER PARTTCULARS.

The intelligence to-day confirms SUBJ
stantialIv that published by us in an extra
this morning. About fifty persons in all
were saved, and the number lost is suppo-
sed to be forty or fifty. The small boat,
Ne learn, went IWIce TO me Sllote and
turned to the wreck again. Many ofthe
passengers were frantic at learning the
condition ofthe boat, and thus more lives
were lost than would have been had they
preserved any thing like presence OF mind,
which however could hardly be expected.
The second engineer of the boat, who was
saved, thinks that thirty or forty must have
been burned on the boat. Eight bodies OF
persons drowned have been found.
Many most distressing incidents are told
on the authority of the survivors.
An English gentleman, his wife, two
children and servant, were passengers from
Detroit. In the terror Of the moment he
threw his children overheard and they
were drowned. He himself persisted II
the flames. His wife leaped overload ant

Incorporating severity, as 'despicabIe
sans cWIOttes, with whom ''henorable and
high-minded men could not consort." In
reference to Mr.. Van Buren, and his con-
fidential advisers, the Reformer quotes the
following lines of the indignant satirist,
which it said might be applied with equal
Justice to cur President as to the British
minister, Walpole:
"Lo! where he stands, amidst the servile crew,
mo bushes stain his cheek with crimson hue;
awhile dire corruption all around he spreads,
"And every ductile conscience captive leads
"Bribed by his boons, behold the UenaI band
g Worship the idol they could once commando
We deeply regret, as all who know the
editor of the Chronicle must marvel, that
he can now associate with, and sustain
men, against whom, within so brief a space,
he wrote such bitter things.
) But we must pause. mere are sever
al other editorial articles of the Reformer,
equally striking, which we have no room
to notice at length this morning. Indeed,
we'should not have undertaken the task of
exposing the inconsistent course of the ed
itor THE Chronicle at all--our personal
regard for him would have restrained us
from so dong-were we not certain that
his sentiments in 1887 were then, as they
are now. the mere echoes of those enter
tanned by Mr.. Calhoun, and of those who
obey his orders. There are few of Mr..
Calhoun's old friends,-very few indeed,
however, they are, in this State,-whose
partiality for him is SO strong that they are
determined to follow whithersoever he
may lead the way; and if tomorrow he
should desert Van Buren,, they would I'M
hesitatingly tread in his footsteps; either
to preserve a dignifed neutrality in rela-
ton to the Presidential election, as South
Carolina, under his guidance, has done, for
eight years past, or to enter, with fierce
zeal, into the contest, as the partizan of
any man, be his opinions what they may,
whom Mr.. G. might brand as orthodox.
1t seems strange to US, however, that any
person can repose confidence in the iudg-
ment, however they may believe in the in
tegrity, of one, whose opinions, on all sub
jects, have been
"As variable as the shade

DREADFUL STEAMBOAT DIS.
ASTER ONLAKE ERIE-BUR-
MING OF THE GEO. WASH
LNGTON, AND LOSS OF FROM
THIRTY TO FIFTY LIVESi

LNGION, Il ND LOSS OF FROIh
THIRTY TO FIFTY LIVES!
The new steamboat George Washington,
Captain Brown, took fire on her passage
down, Just below Dunkirk, about two
o'clock on Sunday morning, 10Th inst. and
with frightful rapidIty became burning
wreck. In spite Of every exertion to save
the passengers and crew, from thirty to. fif-
ty persons were either consumed or drown
ed. The number lost is variously estima-
ted, and cannot as yet be ascertained with
certainty, as the papers and books of the
boat were destroyed. The lowest number
named is thirty, and some place it as high
as sixty. We understand some of the of
icers of the boa: Judge the number of pas
sengers lost to be about 20, and 10 ofthe
crew. Several ladies and children among
the missing. We have heard no names.
The scene was heart-rending. The
bulk head between the boilers and gentle
mems cabin was in flames, when the dread
| ful condition of the boat was discovered
the engine was stopped for the purpose of
lowering the yawl, into which the fright
ened passengers quickly crowded, and re-
fused to leave until the fastenings at one
end gave way, and the whole were precip-
itated into the Lake. Much time was lost
in rescuing the persons unfortunately
plunged into the water, thus OBTAINING the
only boat that could take them off to the
shore. The yawl was despatched to land
with load as soon as possible, but did not
return in time to take off a second, though
several were picked up by the boat strug-
Cling to reach land on boards, boxes, &c.
and nv swimming. A number succeeded
moveables.
The North America was some Is miles
ahead Of the Washington, and as soon as
the flames were discovered, came back to
her aud, though not in time to do more than
pick up several persons struggling in the
water, and to tow the burning wreck into
Silver Creek. The hull was scuttled anC
sunk at the wharf, nothing but the black
ened timbers of the warehouses being Wis
ible. No property was saved from tht
boat.
We learn that after stopping her engine
to lower the yawl, the Washington becam
unmanageable, and could not be got unde
way again. The tiller ropes had parted
and the flames cut off all access to the en-
} CINE.
The above particulars were derivedprin
cipally from the officers and passengers OF
, the N. York, and may not be entirely cor
, rect in details. The New York stoPpe
! at Silver Creek, and brought up Captain
+ Brown to Ashtabula.
Few serious accidents have happened L
the navigation Of Lake Erie by steam
none ever to compare with this in destruc
ton to human lives. 1t may be mention
ed that boat called the Washington wa
built in 1888, one ofthe finest and larges
\ boats ever upon the Lake. That wa
! wrecked on her second trip, this one burn
ed upon the first.
The lake was perfectly calm at the tim
of the accident.

THE SLEEPING INFANT.

BY THos. cRossLEv.
How calm thy sleep, my little onel
Gift Of hand divinei
Care has no wreath to place upon
That little brow Of thine.
Yet on thy cheek are tears Of grief,
Like pearl-drops on flower
Fral emblems of thy sorrow brief,
AT evenings lonely hour.
Yet thou wilt wake to boundess glee,
When dewy morn appears,
Nor e'er remembered more will be
Thy bitter evening tears.
But what are these, thy hopes which share
Thy little hands which filll
Thou'rt grasping with miser's care,
Thy little playthings still.
Come, yield to me each useless toy,
Till morn's young beams shall peep
Nay, struggle noti Can'st thou enjoy
These trihes in thy sleepl
Slumber her silken plumes has furled
Around thy placid brow;
And yet an emblem of the world
u. Thou picturest to me now.
IT'S thus with man, when old age brings
To lile's declining vale;
He weeps at Times stern call, and clings
To trifies just as frai
