rATIoN, the correspondent assumes TO be
one of the great objects Of the convention,
and in showing the presen, gross inequali-
ty of representation, he says: Look at
" the county Of Howard, containing pop.
" ulation of near $4,000, and paying a
" State revenue of over $4,000, with but
one representative in the legislature; while
the county of Decatur, with population
Of $500, and State revenue Of $l2s, land
that paid in Uolf.scalpS) has an equal

disposing Of the money. This is down.

" 1900 persons in one county, with $4,000

responsibility of correcting this gross in.

" Hamiltonian federalist, and an aristocra
at heart, no matter what his professions

The editor says the wings would clos

Failures in Nep York.-The New YORK
Herald of the 18th says: Within the past
six weeks there has been in this city sus-
pension of payment by six large mercan-
tile houses, importers and jobbers' on la
bilitics varying from eighty up to five nom
dred thousand dollars each. The failure
of these houses has been directly produced
by the immense losses on goods and Inc
bankruptcy of many of their Southern and
western customers. The depreciation in
the foreign importations Of this port from
the first of July and the low price of all
the staple products of the sections Of couE-

this city-restricting the resources of the
people of these sections and preventing
them from paying up as promptly'as neces-

from which several houses have been tenn

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT-ToTAL WRECK OF
THE STEAMBOAT SwALLow--A NUMBER
OF LIVES LOST!
The following account Of one Of the
most appalling steamboat accidents on re-
cord, we copy from the Baltimore Ameri-
can, of the 10Th:
The steamer Swallow left Albany al 8
o'clock on Monday evening, with two or
three other boats, to come directly to New
York. She had on board a large number
of passengers, probably three hundred and
fifty in all. When passing through the
narrow channel at Athens, she ran upon
large rock, called 'the brig" The bow
ran up so high that it was impossible TO
stand upon the deck. The keel broke, and
the stern bent upwards, and still went
down so much that in three minutes the
two cabins were full of water. The scene
among the passengers may be imagined. 1t
was o'clock in the evening, and very few
of them were in their berths The upper
part Of the boat soon took fire, which in.
creased the alarm.
The evening was very dark and the
wind blowing fresh at the time the boat
struck. Fortunately the Rochester, Capt.
Cruttenden was but a few boats length
behind, but by the time he succeeded in
rounding to and reaching the Swallow the
water was up to the top of the ladies' cabin.
The passengers were taken off by Capt.
Cruttenden, but so short was the interval
from the time the Swallow struck till she
went down, that it is impossible to say how
many lives were lost.
ADDITIONAL PARTIcuLARs.-Th New
York Mirror, of Tuesday afternoon, says:
"Since the above account was in type, we
have learned tho following additional par
ticulars:
The boat was at great speed, and when
it struck, it doubled over the island like
ribbon. 1t was a wonderful sight, 10 be-
hold the bows pointing up to the heavens,
from the very top of the rocks, while the
stern was almost entirely under water.
Several estimable ladies, diligently en-.
CURED after this morning, on both the
Rochester and Express, could not be
found. and sad apprehensions are enter
tanned. AS the berth list of the Swallow
was by no means complete, the full extent
of the loss cannot be ascertained until IL
be known from many scattered and distant
homes, who had probably trusted themselves
to the fatal vessel. There were several
passengers from the western States.
The awful cry of hundreds in their fer.
rI6le agony was heard, it is related, full a
mile away.
The following additional particulars are
from the New York Herald, of Wednes.

DEBTS OF TExAs-The Charleston Mercury in an
able article this subject contends that 1t Congress
the debts of Texas can assume the debts
of all other States. Ii reasons as follows
1t is indeed alleged that there is difference in
the of Texas that places it by itself-inasmuch
as she will pay for the assumption OF her debts by
equivalent in her public lands. This may be admit
ted as question of value but ii does not alter the
case The value of lands or anything else, is Just
what the buyer pleases give for them. The power
to make bargain implies the power to make bad
as well as good one and the power TO traffic with
the States for their lands implies also the power 10
traffic with them for all kinds of public property
1.-THE principle maintained on the ground of this
alleged peculiarly in the of Texas, is that Con-
gress cannot give State money to pay her debts
but may assume the debts under bargain purporting
to offer equivalent Maryland and Pennsylvania,
for instance have lands, but they have canals and
other works Of internal improvement.
90 Congress assume their debts, If these States
will surrender portion or all of their public works
to the General Government. The nature of the prop
erty can make no difference in the principle. Wbe.
ther it consists of lands lying in state OF nature
in the midst of settlement and wealth in the shape o.
great thoroughfare Of trade; it must be property
equally capable of bargain and transfer"
| To assume the debts of Texas in consideration o.
the lands of Texas appears to to open broadly the
door for the assumption Of all the State debts-witl
the additional DANGER that it may end in the UntcC
States becoming the proprietor of the great works

strict constructonists Of the Constitution have beef

Autumn SONG

The gold corn in the field
And the asters in The meadow,
And the heavy Clouds that yield
To the hills a crown Of shadow,
Marx the ending Of the Summer,
And the Autumn coming 10,
A crimson eyed new conner,
Whose voice is cold and thin,
As he whispers TO the flowers,
10, all this time is ours
/ remember long ago
When the soft June days were wasted
That the Autumn and the snow
In the alter heats we're tasted;
For the sultry August weather
Burned the freshness from the trees
And the woods and j, together,
MouTned the winter, that must freeze
The silveT-singing streams
Which fed our summer dreams.
Through the yellow Afternoon
Rolls the wagon harvest-laden,-
And beneath the harvest moon
At the husking sings the maiden;
While without the winds are flowing
Like long aerial waves,
And their scythe-sharp breath is moving
The flowers upon the graves.
When the husking is all DER
The maiden sings no more.

years since Daniel Webster made speech upon an
important question, and concluded it the Senate
was about to adiourn,-The next morning Mr. Ben
ton replied in an ''o hand" speerb, in which he
viewed the history of this and other governments
the nature and peculiar of their organic laws
and then closely combining himself to the ques-
ton at issue, and making the proper applications, he
most triumphanty vanquished the Senator from Mas
sachuSetts. 1t speech that had only been con-
sdered single night, yet it surpassed in ability the
speeches of other able Senators, which weeks of
time had been bestowed. As thorough Statesman,
Col. Benton occupies a proud eminence.-Hartord
