DEATH OF col. HEPBURN.

Letters received in this city contain intelligence Of
the death Of Col Hepburn, who will be remembered
in this city from his speeches in Tammnny Hall and
other places during the last summer. He was ar
dent politician, and the last time we saw him was
violently preaching Free Trade from Tie STEPS orthe
Exchange, in Wall street, to u number OF sailors who
had been induced to get up strike. We learn that
difficulties had for time existed between him
aud Gen. McDougald, the Loco Foco candidate for
Congress, from Georgia, who has just been defeated
by Mr. Crawford-growing out of cotton specu ot;on
which proved to be loss. Col. H., it seems, had
overpad his SHARE and in the bitter feelings that the
transaction engendered had threatened to take the
life of McI;ougalG upon the first opportunity. Col
II. on the 9Th was in the Insurance Bank at Coum-
bus, when Mr. NJ. entered. As the latter approached

For ourselves, phosophzing upon the clamorous

and the composed and nosecss tenor Of tho Of
the great Wing pa ty on the other, we have come to
conclusions Ms to the real relative strength Of each
party very different from those hoastfuy claimed on

the other. To our mind, it seems that the fret Of
these parties may well be kcned to the winter brooks

spoutng and roaring among the rocky fragments in
its shallow bed, until its hoarse voice is heard above
all other sounds; whilst the latter party more resem-
bes the stream of the valley, whose slness-and,
we had almost sad whose suenness-is the surcst
indication Of depth and power sufficient to defy every
attempt to bar its onward course TO the ocean. We
have never for moment doubted that, when the time
for the trial Of strength, shall come, the Wing party,
now quiet and unassurning, will come forth in its
power, and he found strong enough ye,, as it was
found in the year eighteen hundred and forty, TO bear
down all opposition. Nor do we at this moment
doubt that the power is in tho Wing party, il they
choose to make use Off, notwithstanding all that has
passed, and all that is said and pretended, to elect
from its own ranks majority the Members of tho
