STATE OF Ono, Pickaway County, ss.
|, Joseph Waltmire, of lawful aye.
of the county of Perry, Ohio, do certify
and say that the foregoing statement
of Joseph A. Roof, so far as ii relates to
the circumstances of our emigration to
this country, the loss of our parent and
other friends on the passage, and our
separation on our landing, and our true
name, is within my knowledge and re-
collection, and is substantially true. !
further certify that never obtained any
certain knowledge OF him from the time
of our said separation, until our mee>
ting on last Sabbath. Our recollection
of certain incidents of our childhood
leaves no doubt on my mind that we
are brothers. 1t might seem little ex-
traordinary that we both have the name
of Joseph. My name was simply jos
seph. My brother was named Joseph
Anthony, in memory of a cousin of that
name, who was killed in Bonapar,e'sar-
my, and was called Anthony in our fam
lily.

Steamboat Erie, Capt. Titus, left Buffalo on
Monday at 3 p M. for Chicago, with about 200
persons on board ; and, when about FIVE hours
out, carboy of vtriol burst on the boiler deck,
and instantly enveloped her in flames. The
wind was high, the Lake rough the vessel had
been newly painted and was hardly yet dry
and the flames flashed over her like gunpowder
In one minute she was mass of fire !! The
passengers and crew threw themselves into the
Lake, and were nearly all drowned The
flames attracted the notice Of the De Witt Gin
ton which had started three hours before her
but had run into Dunkirk on account of the
wreck Of the Erie was burning, near Cattarau-
gus Creek and picked up all tn, survivors Of the
Observation-Disclosures seven in all, including the
Captain, one hand, and one woman. All the
rest had perished--being more than One HIM

which are Of course all lost The Clinton

Hudson, met with a bad accident in coming
down from Albany last evening. She was ra-

about 9 o'clock, the night being intensely dark,
the Swallow passed SIoop; the Diamond did
not see her, the Swallow being in the way, and
drove right upon her! The sloop was heavily
loaded, and the Diamond was sadly shattered,
her deck being swept clean as far back as her
smoke pipes, one of which went by the board
The Swallow took off her passengers and
brought them down. She was little damaged
below decks, and no person severely injured,

In letter addressed TO Timothy Pickering,
Sept ~, 1895, General Washington said
shall not, whilst have the honor TO administer
the Government, bring any man into Office of conse
quence knowingly, whose political tenets are adverse
to the measures which the Government are pursuing
Tor ths, IN my opinion would be a sort of political
suicide That 1t would embarrass its movements is
most certain"
Pending the difference between Jefferson and
Hamilton, Two members Of his Cabinet, Presi-
dent Washington interiered, TO produce forbear
ance and harmony, as without these he did
not see how the reins of Government were TO be
managed
Both the Secretaries approved his spirit, and
In Mr.. Hamtons letter addressed 10 the Presi-
dent, occurred the following:
II your endeavors should prove unsuccessful
do not hesitate to say, that in my opinion the period
is not remote, when the public good will require
ssiTuTEs Tor the DIFFERING MEMBERS of your Adm
nstratIon. The continuance of division there must
destroy the energy of government which will be little
enough with the strictest union"
Even foreigner Ode Tocqueville, a French
man. seems to have discovered the theory of
our Governments and thought much better of il,
in many respects, than TO pronounce it the
growth OF other Chimes" In his chapter on the
Executive power, he observes
The President made the sole representative
of the Executive power of the U Mon and care was
taken moi to render his decisions subordinate to the
vote of council dangerous measure which tends
at the same time to clog the action of the Government
and diminish its responsibility"
But enough. We have shown that our views
are not obnoxious TO the odium" of true Il e.
pubcans, nor calculated to excite the "sur-
prise" or establishment of any body who has
formed correct judgment upon the true theory
and practice of the Government. We shall re-
pose, at ease, upon the laws and the Constitu-
ton, under the shadow of Washington's great
name, until the Intelligencer, by some undisco,
vered charm, shall startle us from our slumbers
Meantime, as our contemporary has told us
what its views are not, we should be glad TO see
de fntion Of what they are.
