AFFECTING sE.-Thc Steamboat General
Brady visited our port q few days since TO pay
a last visit oher old friend in arms, the Gen.
Jackson. These two boats were raised from
infancy together, and for many years. like the
brother stage drivers we once read of, were in
the daily habit of exchanging their friendly sa-
lutes as they passed one another on the route.
The Jackson like all other bodies possessing
the power oflocomotion, is at present, on the
verge of "that land from whose bourne NO
traveller returns" and the Brady hearing Of
her critical situation, hastened to her bed side
to sooth her pillow, while she passed from this
vain and transitory world OF phizzing, stearnng
and scalding, to that land of promise, where
the bursting of boilers is not known. The
scene was an affecting one and as she left the
side of her friend. she shed plentiful supply
of tears from her exhaust pipe, which descend
ed on the passengers below like an April show
er. The Jackson has been for some time past
troubled witIithe dropsy inthe chest, butbeing
anxious to render all the assistance in her
power, to the travelling community she kept
onher legs until nature refused longer to rem
der her support, and she is now in the hands Of
the physicians, who have resorted to tapping,
but we fear twill be Of no avail. We would
recommend to our citizens to erectto her men,
ory monument bearing the following inscfip-
ton
SACRED TO THs MEMORY OF
GENERALsANDRE a N JACKSON,
Asteamboat who never bursted her boiler
Who never killed . person;
WHO was content torun at moderate speed;
AID never heated her water too hot.

Tweek seemed to me calculated to benefit 1.-THE

didates In the next fall election, however CON
trary to your intention that such should be- its
effect. lfthe charge against the wings as q
party, is true, have no wish 10 palliate it,
tho'it seems to me that whig paper is not
the proper vehcle--and short time beforethe
election, not the proper time for its promuIga-
tion. The other party has papers reckless and
bitter enough that will not fail to find errors
enoughin whig legislation or as occasion Of
fers to manufacture them for the good Of the
party. The information of the whig party
having as party been.unfavorable toareview
of the location of the county seat Of Lucas,
l fear came from the enemies camp--andI have
reason to think is entirely untrue. BY refer
ring to the journals Of the last Legislature, it
will, think, be found that all the motions in fa-
vor Of, a review came from Wings, and thattoo
of high standing in the party.
If, as do not believe, it wassmade party
question, the fault was in the indiscreet zeal
OF Van Burenite, (not Mr.. Bates) who in la
boring to obtain the votes Of his party, as
party-made the cause of the removal of our
county seat, partake of the odium in which he
was held by the wings Of his acquaintance.
Mr.. Bates you say prepared himself to re-
port on the matter. Indced?--after being
some three or four months member of the
week before the adjournment
he was prepared to move in the matter---and
then the wicked wings to avoid the tremende
GUS effect which his exposed, and his over
eloquence in its support was'lkely
to produce on the whg majority-they turned
him out--doubtless fearing to trust themselves
in the hands of one 80 able and influential.
But to be serious. MIR. Bates was continued
in bis seat till near the end of the session, be-
cause from the great extent of the district, it |
was not probable that another could be elected
and arrive in Columbus before the termination /
