Dreadful Accident.

Explosion ofa Boiler and Loss of Life.
Yesterday afternoon, about o'clock, the
boiler of the engine in the Oregon Foundry,
Seventh ward, exploded which caused the
death of two men instantly, and wounded
one fatally. The Foundry belonged to
Messrs. Algeo, Holland g.. Co.
The explosion threw the boiler distance
Of near $50 yards-it went through the
building, across the street and lodged on the
side hill opposite.
VIM. HOLLAND, was killed instantly !;
his head was carried off by the boiler and
pieces Of it found where the boiler lay
He was one Of the firm, and foreman in the
establishment; and has q wife and two
children.
JAMES Nc Glory, pattern maker and
engineer, was also instantly killed, his head
being terribly mangled. He was single
man, and lived with his father short dis
lance from the place of the accident.
VIM. WILSON, young man of II, was
fatally wounded. We were informed just
as we were leaving, about o'clock, that
he was dying. DR.. Walter, Surgeon,
attended him. He was carried to his
fathers, few rods distant.
JONES, was badly scalded, but we were
not informed Of his being in danger. He
is the son ofa widow, and her only support.
VIM. LINTON, badly scalded. He was
carried home soon after the accident, he is
not thought to be in danger.
MoREHEAD slightly scalded on the right
side.
Coroner RICHARDSON was on the ground
in short time and summoned jury whose
verdict was in accordance with the above
facts.
The house in which the engine was
located, was totally demolished. A dwell
ing house adjoining was much injured by
the fragments Of the engine house striking

New York Anti-Rent VICTORY.

Anew York correspondent ofthe Wash.
ington Union, under the date of the 4th
inst, thus expresses himself on the election
in New York: 49,,
1t was with difficulty left a sick
room Yesterday to vote, and, SO far as Gov
eruor is concerned, fear to no purpose.
From present appearances, we have lost
our Governor and majority of Congress
men. That hydra.headed monster, AMI
rentisrn, having formed complete union
with the wings, we have been overborne in
all directions, except in this city, where we
have elected everything save one member
Of Congress, being gain Of two.
The result astounds every one, as we'll it
may. The great State Of New York
wheeling into the arms Of whiggery by
means Of anti-rentism!
A party priding itself on its "law and
order" propensities- its love Of good
government-hatred of anarchy and sedi-
ton, protesting holy horror Of oil rowdy-
ism, and all things not strictly genteel, to
take to its embrace the whole anti-rent fac
:ion--the murderers of sheriff Steele and
others--the men who prowl about in masks,
bidding defiance to laws, seizing upon Of
ficers Of the State, who were peaceably en-
gagged in the collection Of rents, and cudg-
cling them, tar and feathering them, or
shooting them, as the case may be--these
men with their candidate for Governor, the
wings seized upon-worked for them, elec-
,ioneered for them, voted for them and have
elected them-Governor, Senators, mem
bers Of Congress, county clerks, sheriff
&c. &c. Well, we are at the mercy o
anti.rentism for year at least, and land
lords under this new whig reign Of terro
may throw up their rentals for a year
Who will pay rent for houses Or lands
when the whole whig party sustain us il
refusing2 To be sure, Big Thunder, on
of their leaders, is now suffering in til
state prison; but that is only for practice
Joke Of fkillinga collector, or being preser
when one was killed. John Young wi
soon pardon him out, and, Of course, he
to be made the martyr candidate Of tn
wings for Vice President or Governor il
1s46.
Truly, who would not be whig, an
who would buy house and lands, whe,
you can get, under this whig administra
ton, as many and as much as you wan
rent free? Huzza for anti-rentism! let u
all be anti-renters; we can secure politica
power by it. So huzza for ant-rentism
Not single question touching nationa
politics has been decided by this election
This is kind Of political maelsiron which
true enough, has carried all before it, bu
is destined to be short lived We shall b.
square up" ere another year rolls round
and by the time of the next presidential
election oil hi can't hold u.s. If anti.
rentism is to be the game, why, we can play
it as we'll as the wings. So I say this
election has settled nothing politically
The fruits ofthe victory will turn to ashes
the principles advocated will "plague
the inventors" or am much mistaken.

O. The result of the late election in this
State showed that an equal number Of
Democrats and Wings had been elected to
the Senate, and an equal number Of each
party holding over, left neither party in the
ascendency in that body. This state Of
things was not in the least palatable to the
feds, as all their party legislation would
not succeed unless they could have major
ity in the Senate. Accordingly the whig
candidate from Wayne Co. gave notice to
the Senator elect, Mr.. Wilford, that he
should contest his right to seat. In the
mean time the whig papers are endeavor-
ing to convey the impression that there is
no doub. Of the right Of the whig candidate,
Mr.. Cox, to the seat.
The Star Of last week copiesa paragraph
from the Ashland Standard in relation tc
this matter, and in introducing it to his
readers, calls it loco Joco paper, hop
ing thereby to ensure it credit for wha
it says. The article was probably copiet
by the ecitor Of the Star as a justification
: : for the vote which he will give to rob th'
! people of Wayne count Of their choice o
It Senator But the editor Of the Star j
u not ignorant Of the fact that the Ash
land Standard is not 'loco foco' paper
, as he terms it; but, on the contrary, that tn
whole efforts of that sheet have been direct
i ed to the creation of disaffection in the dem
I ocratic party; that it advocated before AM
: since the election the claims Of Mr.. Cox
6 that it opposed the election Of Col. Tod ant
the whole democratic ticket, and further
, that it is the verest lck-spittle of the Wo
ter Bank in the State, and that institution
has employed the plant tool TO promote tn,
success Of Bebb and the federal cause gen
, orally.
If The Honorable member from Portage
finds that the evidence which shall be ad
duced before the Senate sufficient to induce
him to give his vote to displace Mr.. Wilford;
or, if he shall be prompted to do so from his
extreme anxiety to be a member ofa body
of the same politics with HIMSELF let him do
50, but don't justify your vote by saying
that it is approved by that menial of the
lying harlot.' We know but little about
the matter connected with this contest, but
quite enough do we know to induce the be-
lief that the whole object of the feds in con-
testing the seat of Mr.. Wilford is to give
themselves the whole power in both branch
es ofthe Legislature. We have several
articles from our exchanges upon the sub
ject, but our columns are too much crowded
to admit Of their publication, at least this
week

The origin Of Thanksgiving Day.

The origin Of Thanksgiving Day.
The first settlers of New England met
with many difficulties and hardships during
the first few years after their arrival there;
and being piously disposed, they sought re.
lief from Heaven by laying their wants and
distresses before the Lord, in frequent set
days Of fasting and prayer. Constant dis
course and meditation on these subjects kept
their minds gloomy and discontented. At
length, when it was proposed in the assem-
bly, to proclaim another fast, farmer of
plain sense arose and remarked that, the
Inconvenience they suffered, and con-
corning which they had so often wearied
Heaven with their complaints, were not so
great as they might have expected, and
were diminishing every day as the colony
strengthened; that the earth began to re-.
ward their labor, that the seas and rivers
were found full of fish, the air sweet, the eli
mate healthy,and, above all,they were there
in the full enjoyment of civil and religious
liberty; he therefore thought that rejecting
on these subjects would be more comforta-
BILE, as tending more to make them content
ed with their situation, and that it would be
more becoming the gratitude they owed to
the Divine Being, if, instead ola fast, they
should proclaim Thanksgiving His ad-
vice was taken, and aday has annually been
appointed for giving tanks from that time
to this. J. A, D.

Work for the Legislature.

The corner.lot spectators throughou,
the State are busily engaged preparing
work for the next Legislature. The. Leg.
islature. will doubtless be bored during The
whole winter with these applications for the
erection of new counties. We notice the
following as among the new counties than
are to be petitioned for the coming winter:
Pulaski, to be taken from the counties
of Putnam, Henry, Wood, and Hancock;
Marshall, to be taken form the counties
of Medina, Lorain. Huron, Wayne, Rich.
land, and Ashland;
Walhonding, to be taken from Knox,
Licking, Muskingum, Coshocton, and
Holmes;
Taylor, to be taken from the counties of
Harrison, Guernsey, Coshocton and Tusca-
rawas.
There will probably be numerous other
new counties petitioned for, and their sue
less will depend in great measure upon
he manner in which the interests Of the
federal party will be served by their creasa
ton. The wishes Of the people, either Of
the counties from which new ones are
sought to be erected or of the proposed new
counties, will have but little influence in
deciding their fate, if the approaching Leg
islature be made up Of the same kind Of
materials Ms that of last winter.
