Force of the Tornado at .Mdtchez.-We con

man, who was almost miracu lousy saved, with
his boat at the recent tornado at Na,chez. DE
says That it is impossible to describe the immense
force ofthe hurricane. Singular as it may seem
he states tina, shot, which had probably been
blown from some store in the town, lodged in
the bacon hams after The top Of his ioat had
blown off, Many of these shot merely struck
in the hams, while ct hers came with so much
force that they were embedded ont OF sight. He
further states, that to the best of his knowledge
there were from rs to 100 fiat boats laying Mt
the landing, and that Is or 20 at the
outside, were saved! When shall we know the
worst effects of this amenrable md disastrous

THE WAY THEY GO!

We, the Undersigned, seeing our names ap.
pended to the call of II meeting of Van Buren,
men held on The 25Ih of May, in lndepen'
dence Square, deem it due to our principles to
state explicitly, that we have never signed the
ca H. nor authorized others to Use our names tor
the purpose.
We are not in favor of any candidate for the
Presidency who advocates tine reduction OF the
working mans wages to n standard that must
make the poor man poorer, and give TO the rich
man not only superior consequence from his rich
es, but insure to him and TO his children per-
petuity OF wealth worse than hereditary titles
with hereditary property. And if any thing
could add to the modification which we as re-
publicans, feel al the profession of such doc.
II ines by the friends of the present adm lnlstra :
lion, it would he the annunciaton, by the Pres'
dent himself, that his views of political econo'
my, having such n direct bearing upon the
working men, strengthened by the practice
of twenty crowned heads Of Europe.

Connecticut Guts.-Among the applications
for divorce, during the present session of the
Legislature, is one in which The husband is the
petitioner. Among the reasons set forth why
the petition should be granted, the chairman IF
the committee stated on tho floor that lit was
that the wife had kicked him out OF The bed and
had stoned him in the street. That she was Il
sort OF Amazon, and rather stronger than her
husband, and thai she had severely chastised him
because he insisted upon having cat sleep in
The bed-Strange to say, these reasons were
considered insufficient by the committee. But
in the name of all that is sweet in matrimony
what would the committee have? II tie wiles

Overcoming Prgudice.-The most difficult
of all the Innovations introduced by The Pacha
Of Egypt, was the dissection of human bodies
in teaching surgery. The priesthood firmly
refused to sanction such violation Of all the
laws of the Prophet. The Pacha told them in
his opinion dissection was perfectly proper,
that their own bodies would furnish the first
examples, unless they speedily came INFO his
own views. The argument was inevitable; the
priests were convinced.

1t is a remarkable fact that not one of so of
the locofoco sheets in the country ever urge
Mr. Van Buren's claims upon the people Tor
any great act of public policy lie may have or
IgInatec for the country. The fact is, we should
not expect them to do otherwise, for he has
never dtne the least act Of good for the country
from the time he came into public service up
to this day. He was never remarkable for any
thing whilst memberof the New York lepis-
lature and convention except his abuse of
foreigners and poor people, and his speeches
IN iayor ofFREE NEGROES at the expense OF
Revolutionary soldiers, and since his elevation
to the presidency, his official career has been
marked by an unceasing war upon that policy
which previously caused the whole country to
flourish and blossom as rose,'' and which
infused happiness and content amongst the
poor laboring classes. Under his administra-
ton they have languished, and dropped aud
died.
