We have occupied good part of to-
days paper with Mr.. Clay's Speech on the
Veto Message Of President Tyler THIS
Speech is spoken Of By those who had the
pleasure Of hearing il as exceeding any of
bis former efforts. We are satisfied from
iismildnesSand the feryid patriotism breath
ing in every line that he more than fully
sustained his high character as an Orator.
He handles the Message in such manner
that We are inclined TO believe tina. Presi-
dent Tyler must feel BUNDLED for he has
mol left peg for him TO stand on. There
IS one passage in the Speech of Mr.. Clay
to his friends, to which We would inYite the
attention, particularly of every Wing. 1t
is this:
GONE WHAT MAY, LET US 20 OUR
DUTY, OUR WHOLE Duty AND MOTH.
ING SHORT OF OUR DUTY. WE OWE

NOT FALL SHORT OF IT.

Edward Everett, laie Governor of Mas

ate Of the United States, as Minister 10
England. We are sorry to learn that his
nomination has been opposed by some Of

We have been accustomed, Judging Mr.. T..
by his Speeches in Congress, to consider

his nomination by President Tyler, himself

garded as satisfactory guarantee Of Mr..

FROM TIE st. LOUIS NEW ERA, AUGUST ~.
HoRRrBLE TpAeEDY lt-CoraTERFrI.
TIERS AND GAMBLERS DRowNED AND MrR-
DERED.-We have not language in which
to characterize our deiesiaiion of the acts
Of deliberate cruelty and murder which
we are now called upon to record, and
which, for cold blooded atrocity, are une.
qualled in the annals Of Lynch Law, or 10
the traditions Of the mos: ierocious sayages
Of the country. Our statement is derived
from brief conversation with one Of tie
officers Of the Baltic, arrived at this port
from New Orleans last night, aud is ne.
cessarly imperfect. More accurate de-
tails may be looked for in a few days.
1t seems that the section Of country
above and below the mouth of White River,
Oh the Mississippi, has been for years in
tested with gangs of gamblers and counter
letters. Islands 67, Is, and 60 we're no.
toriously resorts for them. The people Of
Coahoma county, Mississippi, and from
the opposite side of the river, determined
to rid themselves of such pests, and our in
formation is that they succeeded in captur-
ing from 80 to 10 of them. On the Bird
of August they placed them on board a
ltrading-boat, took her TO an unfrequented
place, so that there might be no Witnesses,
AND shot and Grorned them al A por-
ton of the names of the sufferers have been
furnished to Us. They are, Hugh fully,
the chief of the gang, Elaphus Kingston,
Andrew McLoghln, Joe Cotton, Hugh
Norris, Joseph Merrlot, Wells Pollock,
and James Macaulcy.
When the Baltic passed up, the citizens
were on their way down the river, engaI-
ed in the ldtdobie rork Of burning The
houses lately occupied BY the victims oi'
their vengeance. No violence was offered
10 the families who were in ,hen, but they
were ordered to leave their bones forever.
1t is further stated that the cashier Of
the countcrielting establishment vas found
in the river at Columbia, dead.
All the implements of rascality were
found about the premises Of the murdered
men. A large amount Of counterfeit bank
notes was discovered, consisting of SO
and 500 notes on the Commercial Bank
of New Orleans, not signed, and 81, 81,
"a notes of the Third Municipality, New
Orleans.
The gamblers and counterlciters who
have thus suffered SO terrible death were
no doubt rascals of the deepest die. They
may have committed all the offences with
which they were charged-murder, the
stealing of negroes, robbery-ia a word
have violated every law but, having them
in their power, these numberlcss crimes
can offer no excuse Tor the cod-bloodcd
murder Of SO many men. 10 comparison
with this cruel and darnabla act Of the
mob, the crimes of the sufferers sink into
insignificance. The laws and the good or
der of society have received more dan
gerous blow than could possibly have re-
suited from long life of crime. Every
good citizen-eyerv one who values the
safety and the institutions of the country
should denounce all such acts of the mob
with unmiiigated severity.

THE GENERAL TICKET SYSTEM IN
ALABAMA

Ii will be reCollected that the Leglsla-
ture of Alabama, at its last Session, pass
ed a bill adopting the system OF electlng
their members to Congress by general
ticket. The system was, however, sub
mttcd to the people, for their rejection or
ratification and every lover OF republican
ism, will be glad to learn that they have
BY a large majority, decidedly rejected it.
The result will be, that three out Of five
of the Congressional districts IN that State,
will elect Wing Representatives-where-
as, on the General Ticket system, the en-
tire representation would, without doubt,
have been Democratic, and three districts
been nisreprescn!cd.- Htghldnd MeSsen.

taking the necessary steps for bringing
out their best men as Candidates for the
next Legislature. We hope this hint will
not be lost on the Wings. 1t IS, ut the

going to make desperate effort TO carry

other day, that in this County Wake the

NEW ORLEANS. AUGUST ~.
The reports of the Board Of Health establish
ncontestably the existence of Yellow Fever in
our City, The distinction between its epidemic
and sporadic form appears to us to DO IN mea-
sure arbitrary. When the disease attacks but
few persons, and is not distinguished by much
malignity or mortality, ii Is considered sporadic
when otherwise, epidemic. But in what consists
the limo Of demarcation What proportion of
cases and deaths to the population renders the
malady epidemic This we are unable to deter
mine. Ono thing, however is certain-the fever
prevails in our City. 1t has destroyed ten per-
sons from Saturday at noon TO Wednesday at
noon. There is nothing, therefore, to prevent it
from carrying off double or quadruple the NUM-
Der within the same space of time. If the dis
ease is at present technically styled Sporadic,
there is nothing TO prove that in day or two i
NAV not become epidemic. Judging by the past,
we have some grounds for believing that It will
extend, and become more frequent aud fatal in
its attacks--Bee.
