"The steamboat Edna collapsed both

that il was difficult for the latan 10 get n
way from the shore. However, after a
little trouble, the latan got under way, and
had run three Of four hundred yards, when
the Elna showed out from the shore. Her
bow could have been more than one hun

did not think thoi she had unusually high

or in tho force-pump, which prevented
tie usual quantity Of water from going in
to the boilers.
"The number Of wounded is sixty
three, mostly Germans. Some two or
three were blown into the river and saw

others we're lost. The cabins Of the Ed

and they are receiving every attention,
from the passengers and others, that can
be bestowed upon them.

The visit OF MIR. Van Buren, TO the faI
West, was the occasion Of good deal al
speaking, but the addresses were moi all
50 fortunate as those at the University
For example, Judge Boulin in the course
81 his remarks, says:
Indeed we hail your visit to our State,
with more than ordinary emotions, as
the first of The Executive heads Of this
nation who has imprinted his footsteps
upon the soil Of Missouri. You alone
have passed the Rubicon."
To a CLASSICAL scholar, or one with
classical reminsct noes, the allusion Ia the
! Rubicon must have been rather unpless
ent. os i, was certainly most unfortunate
in the present case.

occasion whilst ndmirng their fortunate

with them, in their fiscal arrangements,

drawn by past improvhenca. In regard

in any such feelings, but may ENJOY the

CuRRENcY IN THE WEsT.--The Shaw
neetown Bank Of Illinois, failed to resume
specie payments on the 18th inst. The
Directors of the Bank, issued circular,
stating that the failure Of the Banks Of
New Orleans to pay specie, had induced
them to defer the assumption promised

and to be ready for run on the Bank
at the latter place, and on the branch a,

The Frankfort (Ky.) Commonwealth
of the list inst, says that the process OF

THE REVILERS OF THE TREATY RE-
BUKED.

The far-seeing editor of the Missouri Re-
porter has at length courageously taken an i'm
portant stand in relation to the Treaty. A short
time since, at Democratic meeting of politi,
clans held in ST. Louis, several members Of
Congress Z" threw the Ratchet" at the Democra-
tic Senators who voted for the ratification Of
the Treaty. The Reporter thus speaks TO
them
Our friends should, of course act with debera-
ton and prudence this question; should hear
what was said by the Democratic Senators who
voted for the treaty. before they proceed TO condemn
them.
We are neither in a condition to sacrifice ma
ority Of the Democratic Senators, nor TO encoun-
ter their opposition If denounced by Leglsla-
tives bodies, as they have been instances
by individuals they will combine in sef-defence,
and their weight Will be felt both in Congress and
the National Convention. The treaty cannot be
held up to the public gaze by leading advocates
of Mr.. Van Buren,, and legislative bodies known
to be favorable to his nomination, reasonable
affair, without driving the twelve Democratic Sena-
tors who assented to it, into opposition to him.
And need say what would be the .SonssfaapiGgGfi
and considerable Democrat, that, by forcing the
twelve Senators who voted for the ratification of the
treaty into opposition to the other portion of par
ty we would insure the election Of Mr. Clay or some
be more certain. BY no movement on the chess
board can Mr.. Clay be aided etfectually, as he
may be by arrayng one portion of the Democracy
against the other on the treaty question. On sub
ect there much real danger of division in our
ranks.

and that il led TO the loss Of his election subse-
quently very same Sub Treasury which
afterwards became the favorite of the man who
denounced him. Who can abide such rule
What will be done with the men, who, when
General Jackson was first nominated, opposed
him with violence, and, afterwards, became his
frends2 How will some of the specie favor
ties of the Globe be measured by such rule
What shall be done with the men, especially
those men, those good and true Democrats IN
old Democratic Pennsylvania, who, for time,
were unwilling 10 submit TO Mr. Van Buren's
nomination 2 And what shall be done with
those members OF Congress, especially from the
old Key Stone State, who dared TO think and
vote as they pleased, al the last session of Con-
gress on the Tariff bill
The measures Of the President have proved
him TO be a true and unchanged Republican,
Such he will always be found, and if he has
not run into wild excess with either of the
great parties, is he therefore to be denounced as
a traitor to the Republican cause2 Every day
will increase his popularity with the great mass
Of the People, and no party discipline, no party
anathemas, no accommodation by the Globe,
can ever drive the Democratic party from him
or change an old Jeffersonan Republican like
| him into a Federalist.

ton of postage whether it written by YOURSELF OF

right exact letter postage attaches As your name

Their you are subjected to the penalty imposed by the
law, and would not advise prosecution IN such
case-nor do desire any to he prosecuted foi
the penalty when the postmaster is satisfied the ac

An English paper SAYS that

"The cabinet of the Tuilleries has proposed to the
British government the abrogaton of the treaties oil
ls4l and 1888, by which the mutual right of search
for the prevention of the slave trade established
and the adoption, instead OF it, of the system agreed
upon between England ard America,-that each
country should maintain equal naval force on the
west coast of Africa, check on malpractices UNI
der its own flag.
Other accounts corroborate this statement in
the main. The example Of the United States
is thus about to be followed, already by the
first Of those maritime powers of Europe,
whose general interests and objects are similar
to their own. However prejudice and party
NAV carp at il, at home, it is certain that the
principles of the Treaty of Washington ap.
pear now likely 10 be received and adopted by
other nations.
