Gentlemen, there is another great object
which properly falls to the care OF Govern
ment. of interest to all tillers OF the land
who have an easy and cheap Transmission
to market il is, of course, the existence OF
such markets. There must be markets
of sale. of consumption. Why will man
toll to fill his granaries and cellars beyond
the wants of his own family, unless some
body will buy the surplus which he has to
sell. and by means of which, therefore he
may be able 10 buy elsewhere, what he oan-
not raise upon his own farml A market.
therefore, market Of consumption. IS a
paramount object to all agriculturalists, who
cultivate rich soils, beneath kindly skies
and a warming sun, and who RAISE more
than is necessary in order TO the susienta-
ton of life. 1t is absolutely indispensable.
! do not say that il IS entirely within the
control of government. know that 1t IS
not. There are many considerations which
affect the market, such as the policy OF
Quiet DdtiOUS, TIE CouISc VI hhNOs 'ho So'
dition of Society. and thousand other
causes which modify all government. But
after all. it is. and must be great inject OF
government. Looking at the question only
as political question, (and God forbid
that should use the word political IN a
party sense) it is certainly n matter OF In>
teresiing inquiry where the surplus produc-
lions of labor shall find a sale. This is a
matter for government in an enlarged Po-
IiIical, phlosophic, and | may say. philan-
thropic, consideration of IFS duties. A good
government seeks 10 promote the interest
of all citizens, of all vocations. l have
said that TO this object market is necessa-
ry. What is il TO YOU that your fields here
in the Genessee Valley abound in the rich

earih-what is it TO YOU, beyond the con-
sumption of your own households, if there

VAN buren, IN TENNESSEE. The de-
feat of Polk in Tennessee appears to have
opened the eyes of the Locofoco editors in
that State, to the unpopularity of VanBu-
ren. The Athens Courier has hauled
down the Van Buren, flag and hoisted that
of Cass, ''as the most available" The
Knoxville Argus drops the magician with
the cool assurance to that gentleman, that
it was the Anti Van Buren, majority inTen-
nessee which Polk had to encounter, and
not the anti-Polk majority. MIR. Van
Buren's friends says the Argus, should
understand this, for it is very well under

The EXPLOSION IN LoUIsIANA.-We
received this morning slip, which should
have reached US earlIer, from the louisa
ma Chronicle, containing particulars of the
steamboat Clipper, while leaving Bayou Sa-
ra. She blew up Just as she was leaving
her moorings; all her boilers burst stimuli
taneously and the whole vessel was hurled
in fragments into the air. Many Of the
pieces fell upon houses three hundred yards
from the scene of the disaster. The hap
less victims were scalded, crushed, torn,
mangled, and scattered in every possible
dlrection-many into the river some in the
streets, some on the other side of the Bay-
on, nearly three hundred yards-some torn
asunder in coming in contact with pickets
and posts; and others shot like cannon
balls through the solid walls of houses at
great distance from the boat TheChron-
icie thus pictures the scene presented at
the temporary hospital to which the dead
and the wounded were removed
"The floors of the two large ware rooms
were literally strewn with the dead and
the dying, and others pouring in as fast as
IL was POoSipiC W NOhNCt titHi- praying,
grooming, bowling, and writhing in every
possible contortion of physical agony. In
the midst of this confusing din, up to their
arm pits in oil and cotton bandages, we
found our praiseworthy physicians--like
good Samaritans doing good-quietly and
silently, but with the energy and activity
apparently of fifty pairs of hands-now
washing burn, now dressing a wound, and
anon splintering fractured limb. Indeed
our citizens generally, every man and mo-
theirs son, appeared only anxious as to how
they might render most service to the poor
sufierers-white and black, without dis
tinction"
The crew consisted of 43 persons. One
of the passengers, Mr.. L. Thomas of Bay
GU Sara, is missing; and it appears that
% persons were undoubtedly killed.-N.
