Steam Boat Lexington burnt in the
Sou7ad!!
$50 LIVES LOST /!

The appalling calamity of the destruc-
ton Of the Steamboat Lexington, on her
way from this city to Providence, threw
the community into state of melancholy
and gloom, on the arrival of the intelli-
gence at two o'clock, Wednesday. such
as we have never before witnessed in this
metropolis. From Capt. Hillard, the fol-
lowing particulars have been gathered:
The Lexington left N. York at 3 O.
clock on Monday evening, and proceeded
regularly on her way till half past y.
when between Eaton's Neck. and
Cranes Neck, fire was discovered to
have taken place among some some bales
Of cotton, near the smoke pipe, spreading
with fearful rapidity. A fruitless attempt
was Immediately made to extinguish the
flames BY means Of the suction pine.
while the extraordinary heat increased the
action OF the engine with alarming rapidi-
ty. All access to the engine was cut off.
Capt. Childs determined to steer the boat
for the nearest shore, and was the last
one seen in the wheel house. In fifteen
minutes more, the engine stopped, and
the progress of the boat was cut short
two miles away from land, where she NJ.
timately went down about three O'Clock
next morning. apsa "a at
The scene that now followed was too
awful to dwell on. All order and d;scip-
line were gone. The life boat and all the
other boats had been lowered down and
swamped while the boat was under fin
Roadway, and hardly CLEAN of hone re-

ance in the impending extreme of neces-
lty, but those who succeeded at last in
reaching them were seen washed off to !,
watery grave. The FIRE was amidships.
and cut off all communication fore and
aft. The larger part Of the passengers
were seen clinging to portions of the = YES %.

with the i'll fated boat on Tuesday morn.

DEMocRAcY--wHAT Is riff it is ser.
yilely to follow the biddings Of few men
who seem willing to use every means to
keep themselves in power, and whose
democracy has always been doubtful
ifit is to carry out any one favorite meas
ure Of these few men-or, in other words,
if it is to subvert and change the original
meaning Of the term-then do we lay NO
claim to being Democrat. But if it is
to cherish the foundations laid by those
who have always been considered the ia.
theirs of Democracy-ifit is to carry out
their principles and to support such men
for Office as we know will also carry out
and uphold them-if it's to oppose pow
er stealing from the many to the few
and to promote free suffrage and the cause
of the people-then do we profess to be
democrat. These are principles, and
leading principles too, and we challenge
our opponents to show wherein we have
deviated from them. If our whole edito-
rial career has not been directly opposed
to aristocracy and in favor of real democ-
racy, then have we deceived ourselves
for this has been our aim. We are will
ling to have our acts scrutinized.

We have made the above remarks, be-
cause there seems to be strong DISPOSE
ton on the part of some-who profess to
be democrats-to draw the lines of party
in this Territory. For various reasons,
one of which is to keep far away from us
as long as possible, the neighborhood dis
sessions with their long train of evils
which necessarily follow such measure,
SO that we may be the better able TO pro-
mote the legitimate and paramount inter
ests of the Territory, we have heretofore
opposed such distinctions being made.
Now, if the plan IS persisted in, we
wish the people, without being dictated to
by those interested, 10 settle it among
themselves who are and who are not the
true democrats. Any interference on the
part Of interested Office holders will a,
once show that they have no confidence
in thejudgment of the people and that the
people cannot, without their aid, tell wha,
is democracy and what is not. All such
interference should be rejected, and those
who thus interfere should, in our opinion
Whatever may be their professions
enumerated with the democratic
party.
W e insist then, if the party lines mus
De drawn that the people, and the people
alone. without dicta.ion from interested
Office holders, determine who are ane
who are not among the democracy NTH.
Territory. II this is done, fairly ant
without electioneering trickery, we are
confident that many who now expect a
vors IRON the people on account of thei
professions Of Democracy will be ANA
zingly DISAPPOINTED.

The last Gazette tries to get up an ex.
element agains: us because we did no
publish the Presidents Message. The
editor attributes to us wrong ,motives.-
We have no fears for the dissemination
of the doctrines contained in the Message.
They have been promulged and harped
upon by the Administration presses all
over the country SO fully-we allude to
his notions on the currency-that our
readers generally know what they are,
and have made up their minds concern.
ing them. Our only motives in not pub.
fishing it were because we could not pur.
chase the requisite number for our sub.
scribers from the Gazette, when they had
it in type-is having become an old story
before we could print it-and our reluc.
lance to exclude other important matter
from our columns, for the purpose of ma.
king room for it. These are the motives
which actuated US, and they alone.

THE AFRICANS OF THE AIMS ms

n.
TAD.-The hopes and wishes Of the nj!
lanthropist in regard to the disposition If
this case are at length realized. Judes
Judson has decided that these urbapnv
prisoners do not belong to the Spaniads
who claim them, as they could not LEGAL.
ly be held as slaves in Cuba. and that tbev
should be committed to the care Of the
president, to be restored to their homes
in Africa. The N. Y. Spectator, in bob.
fishing the opinion of the court. says
1.-The decision is on every point raised
in the pleadings and discussed in argu.
ment. The claim of Lieut.. Gedney, and
his officers and crew, for salvage, is ad.
mitted as to the vessel and crew, but no,
to the Africans. The amount awarded
them is one third. The claim of Messn
Green and Fordham is rejected. The de.
mand, first of Seniors Ruiz and Montez
and subsequently of the Spanish minister
for the surrender of the Africans, is no
allowed, except as to the boy Antonio, III
undoubted legal slave Of Capt. Ferrel
and the other Africans are placed in lhe
charge of the president, for reconveyance
to Africa, under the provisions of the ac
of congress passed in 1919. In word,
these poor Africans are declared free, and
they are to be restored to freedom and
their native land" '''5 gs2 Y

APPALL1Ne.-We have permitted the
melancholy account of the loss of the
Steam boat Lexington to occupy large
share in our columns this week. This
dreadful catastrophe has caused an ex-
element of feeling in the Atlantic cities
which has never before been witnessed.
The circumstances the place, compa-
ratively near thickIy settled shore-the
number and responsibility Of the lives lost
the inclement seasonal these make
it one of the nest heart rending steam
boat disasters that has ever happened.
Among the list of the dead we discover
the names of several with whom we were
acquainted. The name of Henry j. Finn
will be recognized by most of our read
ers. He was one of the most original
and genteel punsters of the age. But alas!
he, with his conpag1ons du uoyage,
have been swept, without warning, into
AN untried eternity.

RESIGNATION OF JuDaE Wn1Tx.-This
and natrintic Senator has 70.

RESIGNATION OF JuDoE Wn1Tz.-This
venerable and patriotic Senator has re-
signed his seat in thelU S. Senate. In
stead Of making a speech on the occasion
he read letter which he had sent to the
Tennessee Legislature rendering his res
ignation rather than obey its instructions
to vote for the Sub Treasury Bill. The
letter is said to be most able and elo-
quent document.
1t will be seen by reference to our first
page, that our delegate, Col. Chapman, is
wide awake to the interests of Iowa. He
has at any rate been instrumental in caus-
ing Senator LINN to acknowledge what
position he intends to take in favor OF
Missouri. s,t'.@
We would ask the editor Of the Gazette
whether the vitality of the political princi.
pies he advocates, depends on the organi-
cation of his party i'll the Territory Of
Iowa!
A Coon NoT1oN.-We understand that
it was suggested, at the late anniversary
supper of the Typographical Society, that
we ought, some of US, to get up, mex,
summer, Commemorative of the Fourth
Century of the Invention of Print
ing. The idea is a very good one, and
we hope it may be acted on, and, if at all
with spirit worthy Of the Printers Of
Boston. There may be question with
some, as to the precise date most proper
to be selected for this observance; but tina,
is, in our opinion, Of comparatively little
Importance Boston Trans.
Why not make it a national affair, friend
Transcript, and invite delegates from all
parts of the Union, and even from the
Hawkeye Territorya The object and oc.
casion would doubtless bring together q
great congregation of printers, and various
are the benefits that might result there.
FROM. Who seconds the motion?
The following. purporting to have beer
picked up in Court Street, Boston, was
handed to the editor Of the Transcript, by
some waggish lawyer, the morning aftel
it was ascertained that Morton was elect

what course the writer. of the communi-

the communication from .sOne of the Peo-

With regard to the accusations contain
ed in the article in question, we say with

qualifedly untrue--that many others are
so distorted and garbled as to produce the
impressions of falsehoods, and that mos1
of the remainder are unimportant Ga.

upon tthe people will continue to believe
what one of their own number has said
in the article alluded to.

relation to the authorship Of the article
above alluded to. We have not heard any
right guessing on the subject thus far.
