VIOLENT GALE-Loss OF THE SAMUEL

HALE, WITH 4 CARGO OF WHEAT.
One of the most violent gales from the east and
southeast, that has been known in this region
within the memory of the Oldest inhlbitant
occurred on Lake Michigan on Friday night and
Saturday last. The new and splendid schooner
Samuel Hale, Of 27l tons burden, had Just compile
tela cargo OF 500 bushels of wheat at the pier OF
Messrs c. l. Hutchinson d Co The gale struck
her there with sReh violence, as TO prevent her
getting out. Every effort was made 10 secure heI

day, OH Saturday; but at night, the gale increasing
in fury, she parted one after another the cables
which secured her. and finally drifted bI she struck
During the night by the violent concessions, she
made breach through the pier along side of which
she lay, and she now MONDAY noor) rests on the
ground in the breach thus made.

means of pumps, and is now affoat. She is belle, ed
to be uninjured in the hull, and if nothing unfore
seen occurs, will doubtless be got into port and
repaired. Had it not been for the breaking of her
matches and deck, by the laLing tmbers Of the pier

cargo wenld have been uninjured by wet. Her

u The Milwaukee Sentinel, in commenting on
our Constitutional article of last week, says:
AS to what should be Supplied, we hope
to see the single district system, both for
Representatives and Senators, incorporated
into the new Constitution. This is the true
democratic system, perfectly feasible, and
the only way to guard against cliques and
log-rolllng, and secure to the people a direct
representation in the T.egislatuFe.'
We think just as the Sentinel does with regard to
this matter, and confess the oversight or sin of
ON sSion aid 10 our charge. There is no better
reason for making county an election district for
number OF representatives than for making a
single district of the whole State Every consitu-
ency should have its own representative, and exc
ry representative his own constituency. A system
of this kind induces greater degree of attention and
watchiuness the part of the constituency TO le-
sisL'tiys atEdrs, and by making the responsibility
ot the representative direct insurss on his part
faithful discharge of duty This principle is the
life and soul of democracy and good government
We know OF no measure WHICH, in, our opinion
should be 50 much desired by the democratic party.
as tending to keep permanent and pure thsr orgaa~

H. Pay as you go, is an excellent policy, not
less in national than an individual point OF view
Whatever debt accrues from the Mexican war,
should be borne by the generation which creates it.
1t is not one of that kind of debts which can with
propriety be shutiled to posterty. because it is
extremely doubtful whether posterisy will have
transmitted to them any thing like an equivalent
or just considerations for the outlay. Wehave voted
the war Put on the tax then, and let us pay for
it. An enlightened posterity may not view the war
in the same light that we do, and may consider the
debt as little binding upon them, as vrtuous son
might the debts OF protligae father. Let us avoid
then, not only crushing interest but also the danger

and in all future time paying we so. 1t is the

a WORD OF CAUTION TO DEMOCRATS

To We would suggest to the democratic
electors of the several towns, the importance
of attention to the primary meetings for the
choosing of delegates to the county conven-
ton. We earnestly hope the people will
take the matter into their own hands, and
not suffer few trading politicians and wire
workers TO thwart the wishes of the people
and control the nominations. That the peo-
pie of this county have at times been impo-
sed upon, by having men unworthy of their
suffrages put in nomination for important
Offices, none will deny. The people should
look with suspicion on that class of travel
ing politicians who Turk about from town to
town, endeavoring to influence the primary
meetings, and all the while protesting d
wonderful regard for the public interest:
These persons are governed by selfish con-
sideratons; they seek the accomplishment
of personal ends, and care nothing for the
pIblc good. The less the people have to
do with this kind of men, the better. We
need men for candidates to frame Consti-
tuition whose moral integrity, sound views
of government, and intellectual attainments,
will command the confidence of the people,
1t should be the aim to select such men
wherever they can be found in the county,
irrespective of particular localities.

The Counties and Towns,

There two or three counties, and several towns,
our minds eye where we fear our vote may be dmin-
ished through lack of necessary effort 1t will re-
quire hard labor In other localities to make up for this
should our fears be well grounded. This, however,
need not be the case. We know not a single Liberty
man who has abandoned our ranks, and all that we
need to bring out all of our old strength and show a
handsome increase is little faithful effort in each
county and town. Let not the small towns be neglect
ed. Let them be supplied with votes-stmuated to du-
ty,-and urged to maintain a strict and independent
organization, and support canlGate even if there be
but one Liberty voter in town. Fall oaks spring from
little acons The duty of one man is as plain as if he
had scores with hin. We do not hold to going with
the multitude to do evil.
QF@Lot every county and town resolve to hold its
own, and show all the increase that faithful discharge
of duty will secure.

Objections Answered,

In the Columbus Georgia. Times we find the fol-
lowing significant remarks. "Abohtion at the North

fanatcsm 1t has passed from that chrysals state in
to strong and pervading political hostility to the South
and resolue purpose that slape political influence shall
be sragledn The councils Of the federal government.
1t is unprovoked, basely selfish aggressionupon Sec
ton of the union which has heretofore borne more
than its full share of the burdens of and taxation
which has asked no favor of Congress the North nc
protection to its domestic industry, no public aims tc
open its rivers and build its public highways, but has
only asked for fidelity to the constitution and the
mon Justice fleeing let alone"
Now we of the North are right glad that the South
are throwing of the mask and acknowledging that the
influence Of slavery pervades the national councils
And, to let them alone in the exercise of that inhu
ence, we object, for three very good reasons.
lst Because slavery is the vilest system ever con
ceved by the outcasts OF Heaven. I'd. Because W
are commanded to come out from it and rebuke it,
Lev. 10Th II and Eph. 5th H. And Sd. Because sla'
cry does not let us alone.
