MIR. POLK ON THE TARIFF-OsA
RROWNSON

o. A. BRowNsoN, in the last number Of
his Review,thu rebukes the swindling game
played of on the Pennsylvanians and other
Tariff Locofocos by Mr.. Polk in his letter TO
Mr.. Kane, and by Polk supporters in those
sections where Protection is overwhelmingly
popular. Mr.. Brownson is aLocofoco in
principle, boldly hostile TO Protection as
well as every thing else the Wings are in
favor of. He says of the "incidentaP' Jug
gle:
"We are not a little impatient with this
unfair dealing with the people. We, as one
ofthe people, demand on the part ofall men
no matter how high or low, frankness and
honesty; and especially do we demand of the
politician who %solicits our suffrages a plain,
honest, frank statement of the policy he real
opted. We despise the m~eanness, we detest
the weakness, of attempting 10 get into pow
er by false p~retences, by concealing our
views, or using language which permits the
Inference that we are in favor of one thing
while we are really in favor of another
Success by such means is more dishonora-
BILE, more fatal than defeat. Better TO be de-
feated fighting for your principles, than 10 SUI
ceed by abandoning them"
awe have been deeply grieved at Mr..
Folks letter. We had hoped that, with Mr..
Van Buren,, the 'betwixt and b~etweenity'
policy he had represented for so many years
would retire to the shades of Underwood,
and that henceEorth we should be at liberty.
tc adopt an open, manly, straightforward
policy, alike creditable to the leaders of the
party and beneficial to the country; but we
fear that we have gained little by the ex-
change. We have, we fear, only another
disciple ofthe same school, and that the same
old d~emagogical dynasty is TO be renewed
and perpetuated the same dread of open,
honest avowals; the same want OF confidence
in the people; the same crooked, serpentine
policy, which caused US TO be hurled from
power with such overwhelming indignation
IN 1910, are TO be again our characteristics.
We are afraid that we are likely to prove, as a
party, that we cannot profit by experience,
and can learn no wisdom from defeat. We
have not read, we hare not heard, during the
~cdnUdSs, thus far, a single noble sentiment,
or q single manly appeal. The whole can
vass has been conducted in a tortuous man
ner by low and demoralizing appeals, dis
graceful TO the actors, and deadening to the
public conscience. We justly merit the
arrah Of Hearen; and, should we fail, it
rould be only a righteous judgment upon S
for oar 'cant of firm principle, mobility of
soul, confidence an the people, and fidelity to
the sacred a. entrusted to oar keeping"

TERRIBLE DISASTER.
AID GREAT Loss or LIFE.

Our Louisville and New Albany papers
bring u the account of most dreadful ex
plosion on board of the Steamboat Lucy
Walker, on Thursday last, which took place
just below New Albany. An extra from the
Office of the New Albany gives the following
particulars, and shows that the most utter
and criminal r~ecklessness and disregard of
human life were exhibited by the officers:
The steamer Lucy Walker, on her pass
age down, touched at our wharf on Wednes-
day evening last, at which time the force
pump was out OF order, but ~supposing that il
could be righted while under way the cap
tain ordered the vessel TO move on; the boat
had reached the point FIVE miles below this
city, about five O'Clock, P. NJ, when the
boilers had become nearly or quite dry, al
which time, by the greatest exertion, the
pump was brought 10 perform IFS Office, anC
the water was forced into the boilers, which
by this time, had become so heated as tc
cause the explosion.
As soon as the report of the disaster reach.
ed our city, the mayor called a meeting Of
the council, at which measures were adopt
ed TO afford relief TO the wounded and tc
search the wreck and bury the dead. AnC
we are glad to state that the board have
spared neither pains nor expense to render
the wounded all the comforts possible which
their suffering demanded. The doors ofouI
citizens, too, were opened, and all were car
ried TO private houses, unless they desired
otherwise, where their wants have been at
tended to.
The following list has been prepared witt
great care, and may be relied upon as being
correct as far as it goes. There were a gooC
many deck passengers, most of whom, it il
feared, are lost. About $50 persons were
on board, itis supposed: if so, there are ye
between twenty and thirty more missing
whose n ames are not known, and consequen
fly not in the list:
