DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT,
SIX OR EIGHT LIVES LOST.

Tho steam boat Glaucus and Fayette left
this port Saturday afternoon on their respec-
tive voyages TO Quincy and the Illinois riv-
CT. They reached the mouth of Missouri
about ninc O'CLOCK 1t night. The Faye;te
was then astern of the Giaucus about ffty
yards. Just Z: 4 point of the river. the Glau-
Gus met the steam boat PiSE, discrimination
Gaicna. They passed each other in safety,
and the Pike, not discovering the Fayette,
continued on her direct course. The pilot of
the Fayettc now, for the first time, saw the de-
scending boat, under full Roadway. coming
down upon them. lie run the engine bell,
and the cnginocr had changed the operation
of the machinery sc as to back the bout
But it was too late to avoid 4 collision
The Pike was struck forward of the wheel
house. and being 4 small boat, with 600 pigs
OF lead on board. she went down almost im-
mediatcly. She WIGS full of passengers, in
the cabin and on deck, having taken from the
Agnes, aground above, bu; which got or and
reached here eariv on Saturday, n large num-
Der of passengers. A scene Of indiscribable
anguish and dismay presented itself. Many
We're thrown overheard, who were after
wards saved by the Fayette. The cabin
parted from the hull and it was towed ashore
and made fast. Several persons were taken
from the hull, lying in eight feet water, who
were found clinging to staunchions, &C.
One man was taken W so nearly exhausted,
after being IN hour in the water, cliuging to
a piece of the wreck, rs to be hardly able
to speak.
At such a time, it is difficult to say how
many lives were lost. Two 6remen, two
children, and a man and woman, are known
TO have persisted, and perhaps n or two
others. The bodies were not found. Tho
Fayetto returned TO this port yesterday, with
the passengers and crew OF the Pike. - 4

Mr.. EdItOr:-
Liberty of sentiment is that generous dis.
position. which enables n man TO allow those
who differ from him in opinion as much vir.
tue, and integrity, as himself. 1t is that gen.
erouS expansion of mind, which cnrblcs him
to look beyond oil petty distinctions of par.
tv. and in the estimate of men; TO, rise su.
perior TO narrow p,ejudicc;. A generous
politician will seriously. and, elltc;ually 10.
vestiga.e both sides of the question:; and
never ALLOW himself TO propagate his SEN
~tirnents BY any undue influence. lie exer
cises his liberty in the manner, which his
Judgment dictates, and not suspect others
to be void Of principle. because they differ from
MIN in opinion. He will be liberal, as well
rs orthodox; because truths do MOI want any
support from his ilIiberality. lie, the little
bee guard its little honey with lis little sting;
perhaps its little life may depend 4 little
while, on that little nouri>hmcnt. Let the
fierce bull shake hishead.and nodhiS horn; poor
fellow, 1 forgive his believing and his rage.
But, the truth is in danger: no human ef
forts can render that true which is Ealse.-
Truth is in no danger. And therefore il
gives its posSessors all things. except a pow.
err to iniure others. In fine, liberty in poll.
tics is a wise, and innocent policy. The
bigot. lives at home. A reptile he crawls in.
to existancc. and there, in his hole he Turk
a reptile still,-a generous politician goes
out of his own party-associates with others,
and. gains improvement by all. 1t is an old
proverb, that a liberal hand is better than a
strong arm. The dignity of n man is bette,
supported by acts of Iiberality, than by &C.
curacy, of reasoning; but where both 90
together, where a man of liberal sentiments
can clearly state, and ably defend his prin-
%ciples, and where his heart is as gene
rous, as his principles are infexible, he pos
sesses strength and beauty in an eminent de-

leave a lasting reproach upon his name
Freemen. watch closely those gambling spe-

over the world, and in all ages, wherever
the people gave up the government into the
hands of a mercenary clique.
Here is Gerge Washington's plan of a
treasury. 1t is that which would suggest
itself to all honest minds. on the formation
of government, and should never have been
departed from. 1t is good to go back, Tor

patriotism. to the primitive days Of the re-
public, when men were not deceived into the
Support of monarchists, by the promise of n
few cents on n bushel Of wheat. Such We

efTeminate by Bank brides. the debauch of
hard cider. and the glare Of coon skins.

town. Mr.. Stock is n German, and had up,
pointed that night fora ball. Many of the

time mingled in the amusemenlsof the even.
ing with the Germans who wcre there, on
perfectly good terms. In the course of the
evening, however, some Offence was given
we are not yel advised by whit party-and
a riot Immediately ensued. Fire rms were
used by the Germans and otsr deadly wea.
pons by the Americans-wlich resulted in
the death of 4 Mr.. Slime, a German. Sever
al of the Americans were hdly beaten.
The affair is n subject of investigation,
which commenced yesterday and was TO be
continued to day.

will not be satisfied without it.-[Epening

Notwithstanding the unparalleled pressure
which for the last twelve months, has crampoG
and trammelled every depart ment of the Me,
Ichanlcal, Agricultural and Commercial com
munty, the unwearled and interchangeable ener
gIes OF American enterprise, are once more
giving evldenceof higher and fairer prospect
beloreus. That quiescent attribute, which, for
a time, seemed to mark and designate our
downward proclivity to careleSsncss and indiE
ference, has fortunately awakened from its
sluggish apathy; and partially disinthralled
from the fatal influence of too blind credu
Ilty in the infalhbility of those whom we have
elevated above US, may we not still INDULGE the
hope, that there is yet held in reserve, a han
Ply result IN the experiment of this last and
once purest Of Republics?

which has already commenced, and which is
