Much as has been said about the cause of the ac-
cident on board the Medora, by which many lives
were lost-many as have been the inquiries instituted
into the why and wherefore-mnute as have been
the observation-disclosures as have been the de-
scrptons of IT, and yolumnous as have been the an
swers thereto, the cause of the accident has In our
opinion been overlooked. 1t has been said that the
explosion produced by placing too great weight
upon the safety valve, which regulated to allow
the escape Of steam after the accumulation Of six
inches, which number Of inches could not by posi-
bility, have caused the explosion No doubt it was
caused. But what induced the engineer to in
crease the weight and suffer an accumulation of
steam so much greater than the capacity of the boil
to resist 1t has never been insinuated that the
unfortunate man did with the design Of producing
the catastrophe--no one believes that he had any
other motive than desire to increase the speed of
the boat. If he had been better acquainted with the
nature, and understood the tremendous power Of the
agent with which no was dealng-if he had under
stood the relation between bonci, engine and valve
the cause and effect, he would not ,cdnoniy have
pered with the latter. He would have known the
fearful jeopardy in which his own life and the lives
Of those on board would have been placed, and this
knowledge would have insured the lives of all those
who are now numbered with the dead.
1t was his IGNORANCE of the terrible agent, steam,
which, to crafty short-lived ambition, led him in
nocently to do that which, in an instant sent so many
human beings into eternity, and brought sorrow and
distress into many families ignorance then,
caused the disaster. How many more useful lives
(and who y are to be destroyed by the same cause

country, which we are sorry to say has experienced

con .equences, If SO, will be severe and distressing
Things too have gone worse with our northern neigh

Ecuatorian government has named one TO come here
and reopen negotiations. STILL Gen. Flores pacific

means sooner or later to invade Peru, and finger
awhile her richer resources. A Northern army ofob-
servation is consequently being formed, to resist the
aggression feared from that quarter This extraord-

county, is runous; and until we have peace and
order, good can be expected.
In such state of affairs il is almost superhuous to

NEW YORK AND THE TARIFF.

The returns from the New York election
are almost complete; they will be found in
another column. Our triumph will be seen
10 be glorious even beyond our most SAN
gune expectations. The following ex-
tracts from some Of the presses of the city
will shew the principle upon which the
battle was fought. 1t will be seen that the
great question was tariff of protection or
no tariff of protection; and that the anti
tariff banner has waved in triumph where
ever it was raised, In Albany land only
there) where some of the democrats COM
mitted the folly of adopting resolutions
squirting strongly at tariff, we have been
beaten by an increased wing majority.
The wings have been greatly mistaken
in supposing that the tariff would sweep
the north for them. The democracy there
are true to the democracy OF the South on
this question. While the election there
may be considered as putting the last nail
in the political! coffin of Henry Clay, it must
equally be esteemed as rendering certain
the nomination and election of Mr.. CAL
houn, the greatest champion OF the prlnci-
Piles which the election in New York has
decided. Here are the extracts, the first of
which, is from the New York Express, a
violent federal paper:
"HURRA FOR FREE TRADE"
"The city Of New York has gone for
the free trade party, and 50 has the State.
The great commercial emporium of tho
Union is tor free trade, and so is the En-
pire State. The Wings have fought a
battle in defence of Protection to Ameri-
can labor and American skill, and have
been defeated, and we suppose, now that
this great contest is over, ii we are to
draw any inference from The result of the
election, it must be one in f,vOr of free
trade"
Upon these remarks of the Express, the
New York Evening Post makes the follow.
ing comment:
According to the Express, then, there i.
majority OF at least twenty thousand o
the voters of the State who are for tree
trade. We wish il were SO; but. although
the prohibitory tariff unquestIonably did ,
