AN ACCIDENT AJMosT.--A late number Of the
Springfield Express has the following;
GAS an elderly lady Of some sixty years was
passing our Office a few DAYS since, in curt
drawn by q yoke Of steers, for some unknown
cause the steers turned suddenly, and ran Of
the ombankment, just cas-. Of the bridge, pre-
cipitating themselves, cart, old lady and all, 70
the bottom, a distance ofsome twelve OF fifteen
feet. The cart was smashed in pieces, and the
steers, breaking loose, ran off Of full speed, and
were soon out Of sight. The old lady landed
smack into the middle Of . mud puddle, while
pieces Of her smashed butter pail and balls OF
butter lay scattered around promiscuonsly.
After regaining her feet, and casting on eye Of
disappointment upon her soiled butter, che,
looking up TO the top ofthe embankment, with
out uttering a syllable relative to her own mar
row escape, exclaimed with surprises aI's a
wonder it didn't kill the steers" We are graf.
fled however, at being able to state that no.
body save that Of the carl, was materially ins
iured.

Of resolutions sustaining the course Of the
President in relation to the present war with

Of peace should be concluded with Mexico

for the expenses Of the war-that sufficient
territory has now been secured to the United
States for full satisfaction-that the war is APP

should not Mexico at an early day manifest 9

The following direct charge and appeal will
give Mr.. Buchanan an oportunity to explain
his conduct, but we doubt whether he will a.
vail himself Of it. The conduct of Mr., B. to-
wards Mr.. Clay, from 1924 to the present time,
has been shameful and nothing but the noble
forbcarance of Mr.. Clay has saved Mr.. B. from
the contempt and scorn Of every honorable
man in the nation. The Washington cores
pendent of the Philadelphia North American
makes the following statement Of facts con-
corning Mr.. Buchanan's conduct in the last
Presidential canvass.-T, Whig.
"During the Presidential canvass, various
malignant imputations were cast upon the rep.
%utati>n Of Mr.. Clay by the press in Pennsylva'
MIA and other quarters, some Of which were al
lodged to have been made on the authority o
Mr.. Buchanan. What was his course on tina
occasion? Instead -of demanding an imme
date retraction Of these fabrications and dc
nouucing their authors, Mr., Buchanan seat
himself in the S material chair and addresse
Mr.. Clay, assuring him that the Democrat
journals had falsihed IN using his name as az
thority and that he was innocent Of any know
edge or participation in the statements Near
time the ISLANDERS were multiplied and disem
mated out of doors. Mr.. Buchanan permitte
all the public injury that could resultfrlm sue
calnmnies, to affect Mr.. Clay, while secretly h
endeavored to deceive him by protestations

ed Mr.. Van Buren, unworthy and unfit to repr :
sent this Government in England, for the reO-
son that, in an official depatch as Secretary of
State, he cast slur upon the adverse party
which had Proceeded him in power.
Much more indignant will that body be at
the serious charge which the President in a
public manifesto, addressed not only to this
country, but intended to go forth to all Chris
endom, has made against the whole of that
large minority who have presumed to question
the Instability of his wisdom.
Mr.. Polk as a christian and gentleman, ought
TO be presumed to possess charity, and to exer-
else forbearance and moderation. He was moi
wont to be resentful or rash, when he met, al
speaker of the house, with the most severe, per
sonal reflections in public GRAND alsoin private

continental tyranny. !
Upwards Of thirty years have passed since

changes in the onward progress Of the world The
interval has witnessed! England led by the
p%lebeian but high-minded Canning soon with
drew from tue c~onclave or despots. France
with noble intrePidi'y expelled the stupid old
man who preferred his own crotchots to a ne.
toms freedom Of speech and made a throne
for the %"citizOn King," by the erection Of
the barbados. Belgium discovered her CON
n%ection with her hard task-master the King

1t is deeply to be regretted that Louis PHI

r the mildest phrase-in his conduct towards

Aid and Comfort,

The President Of the United States never was
guilty Of a folly so great and insult so daring,as
when he undertook to nnGzsle the mouths of the
Presssnd Congress, by accusing them Of giving
aid and comfort to the enemy, by merely e :
pressing their opinions on Public Affairs We
have q Monarchieal President, usurping the
power of Despotic Government. But the Mon
arch President should r~ecollect that even in
Monarchies, writer's and speakers are allowed
to utter their opinions on public affairs. Does
he not remember the vivid and eloquent denun-
citation Of thd American War, by Burke and
Chatham, in Great Britain? Does he not know
that even in that Monarchy, no man is accused
Of being a traitor, because he opposes the un-
Just wars ofthe Government,
Does he not remember the language Of Lord
CHATHAM, in his famous but vain appeal to the
English national sense of justice, at the out
break of our revolution?
off were an American, as / am an English
man, while a foreign troop was landed in my
country, | never would lay down my rms
never-never-neyer!"
Are the Wings Of A merica less freomen, thar
was Lord Chatham? Is an American either
to be curbed in the freedom OF speech, when al
English Lord is left Free? No! no! 1t was
sad mistake in Mr.. President Polk to attemp
it. 1t was attempted to gag Congress in tn
Right of Petition, and it most signally failed
The attemptto destroy the freedom Of Opinion
will be a worse failure.
The President and his adherents can neithe
impose upon the common sense of the Ame'i
can People, nor muzzle their moutha.-Or

Political MOVEMENTS great political
movements will be made in our city on Thurs
day next-one by the wings, the other by the
democrats. These two parties have their several
meetings on the above day, to elect by bal OF,
the members of their committees for the coming
year. These elections are important, as bearing
upon the Presidential election, and having great
influence over the future movements of the two
great parties. There will be contest among
the wings for candidates, both for and against
Mr. Clay, as next President. General Scott's
friends will also cndeavor to get held of the
committees, and the probability is, that the
Clay section will triumph in the wards of this
city. AT the same time the democrats, on theiv
side, will make similar efforts for the ascendancy
OF their particular friends. Those who support
Mr. Van Buren, will go in opposition to every
other candidate. The democrats have larger
list Of democratic candidates than the wings.
They have Messrs. Polk, Van Buren,, Wood
bury, Cass, Buchanan, Calhoun, and we know
nothow many others. The contest here will be
for and against the friends of Mr.. Van Buren, in
both committees, young and old.

TIE BLACK REPUBLIC IN AFRICA.-There is
nothing more amusing than to notice the move
ments of the black republic called Liberia, upon
the coast of Africa-which is one of the oldest
and most laughable caricatures upon democracy
and independence which the world has yet seen;
80 much so, that we wonder it has not been
dramatsed at some of the theatres. 1t certainly
would take.
The last accounts are quite interesting They
have had their declaration of independence, a
celebration of that independence, an eating and
drinking scrape, a convention to form const-
tuition, and constitution cas- long as my arm"
together with all the other proceedings and
doings which regularly distinguish a people
governed upon republican principles. One prln-
ciple in their constitution lie, that no white man
can be voter. What will Mr.. Garrison say to
that! What will John Quincy Adams, and all
the abolition party, think of such principle IN
the constitution of this glorious African repub-
lie, as that no white man is allowed to have a
vote in the republic of Liberia!
