LEGAL REFORM.

In our remarks week or two since, on
the subject of simplifying the practise, we
adverted TO the great inconvenience and ex
pense to which the people are subjected by
the present cumbrous and complicated modes
of procedure. The practicability of tho
rough and radical reform, is admitted by
men of the most eminent legal science in the
land. We give below a few examples of
simplifcation, suggested in the late Consti-
tutional Convention of New York, by one
of the most able lawyers of that body:
Declaration on Note
A. B. complains that c. ID. owes him the

gThe appearance of Mr.. Clay i'll the
political field has disturbed the friends of
Mr.. Webster, and they look with suspicious
eyes upon the rival pretensious of Mr.. G..
The cause of the meeting and speech at
Lexington is thus accounted for by the Bos-
ton paper:
=" 1t is our solemn conviction that this
meeting at Lexington, for the ayowed pur-
pose of hearing from Mr.. Clay, personally,
his deliberate sentiments in regard TO the
war, originated in some other place than
Lexlngton--some other state than kenrc-
ky-and was intended TO furnish something
as an offset to the Massachusetts resolution,
recommending Mr.. Webster to the favora-
bic consideration of National Convention
as candidate for the Presidency"

ES Elder Lothrop has resigned his pas
toral charge of the Baptist Church in this
village. OF the causes which led TO this
step we are not advised. His ability and
faithfulness as minister Of the gospel have
secured him the confidence and respect of
those among whom and for whom he has
labored, in no ordinary degree, and they,
with the public generally, must regret the
existence of causes, whatever they were,
which in his mind rendered this step expc-
dienl or necessary. We trust his retirement
will be short-Ived, for the services Of such
men, in the moral and religious departments
of labor, can lily be dispensed with.

CLAYS SPEECH-THE NEW CREED OF
THE WINGS.


The no more territory" idea is one which ap-
pears FOR some time TO have been growing into ia
vor with the wings, and particularly the southern
wings in which section of country we believe the
proposition had its birth 1t grew out, doubtless,
Of the determination manifested by the North, and
by ajority OF Congress- TO prevent the extension
OF slavery into any territory which may hereafter
be acquired-the South preferring to have terri
tory at all, unless it can be made free to the in
gress Of their peculiar institution"
This speech Of Clay, We have no doubt, was ORR
ginatod and delivered for no other purpose than TO
engraft this idea fully into and upon the wing par
ty, and make it the basis upon which the next Pre-
sidental campaign is TO be fought by the wings.
with Clay probably, as the candidate. That this
issue will unite the wings of the South there is not
much doubt What will be its effect upon those of
the North remains yet TO be seen Some dssatis-
faction is manifested among them, but probably a
great share of them, for the sake of having Clay
again as i candidate, with the slightest chance Of
success, will fall into the measure, and unite with
the southern wing in this move.
Perhaps this issue is the result of cunning wis
dom, and may bring to the wings, as party, good
fruits That majority of the people of the United
States will endorse this new measure, we have no
idea, but we think it highly probable that the Wing
party can be better united on this ground than on
any other which, in case of division between de.
niocras the disposition to be made of the ter
-,
The move we conceive, will give strength TO the
wing party and it is doubtless the result Of mature
reflection on the part of whig leaders.

Dreadful Steamboat Coilision-One Hun
dred and Thirty Lines Lost Steamer
TdLiSDl0Il Sunk.


The Steamer Lucy Bertram, up this
morning from below, brings the painful in
telIigence of the loss of the Steamer Tails
man and the lives of about one hundred
and thirty Of her passengers!
The Talisman was from Pittsburgh anC
bound for this city with a heavy cargo o.
merchandise and near three hundred passe en-
gers.
About 5 o'clock on the morning of the
l9lh inst, when FIVE miles below Cape
Girardeau, she came in collision with the
Tempest, bound down, by which accident
she sunk in a few moments to her hurricane
roof.
Atthe time Of the accident the TaliSman
was crossing the main channel of the river
TO the Missouri shore. The engines of the
Tempest ve;e stopped, but not in time to
avoid a collision.
There were some one hundred and fifty
deck passengers on board the Taisman, all
Of whom, with a few exceptions, are sup
posed TO have been drowned.
From all we can learn, but FIVE or six
cabin passengers were lost. None of her
officers are missing. The Tempest receiv.
ed no injury, and passengers who came up
in the Lucy Bertram say that no blame can
be attached 10 the officers. She remained
by the wreck of the ill-fated boat and took
eff her surviving passengers and brought
them 10 Cape Girardeau, from whence
some forty arrived this morning in the Lucy
Bertram.
None of the officers of the Talisman have
arrived. We learn, however, that the hooks
and papers of the boat have been saved, bu
her cargo will prove nearly, if not quite, {
total loss.
When the Lucy Bertram passed up, sht
had settled down To her hurricane roof.
We learn that The passengers, with few
exceptions, lost all their efects-one gen
tleman in particular lost nine negroes (wht
were on deck and fourteen horses.
The CONSERVATION and alarm in the cabin
Of the sunken steamer, as mentioned to us
beggars all description. Mothers with chill
dren in their arms ran frantic through thu
cabin of the boat, and in some instance,
threw themselves over boards, on which
they clung until rescued st. Louis Era

IIJ- The Racine Advocate evidently has doubts
of the practcability of the Single District System,
for the election of Senator's and Representatives at
the present time. The objection grows, doubtless,
out of the new state of the country lis increasing
and changing population and the sparse popula-
ton Of many sections 1t was probably these con-
sideratons which defeated the attempt to introduce
it in the late Constitution but we do not ourselves
see the force of the objection. The same reasons
which hold good against the Single District Sys-
tenn, will hold equally good against the Districting
by Counties The sparseness of population, or the
increasing or changing character of population,
will not effect Single Districts more than Counties;
and this being the case the evident benefits Of the
Single District System should secure its enact

W The Port Washington Democrat objects to
our pay as you go system, with reference to the
Mexican War The Mexcans being the agressors,
they should it says, be compelled TO pay these ex-
penses. So do we think, but we believe no one is
sanguine enough to expect, that one or two hun
bred millions in hard cash. can be squeezed out Of
the Mexicans. Territory is the only conpeasa-
ton any one expects TO receive, so that the debt
for the purchase of the territory, rather the cx
penses OF the war, remains to be paid. We dread
the effects of national debt, in many points OF
view A debt once started, is the most difficult
thing in the world to get rid o., and it generally
acts as sort of nest egg, or a nucleus around
which debt continues to gather, until rottenness
supereues, and all industry and energy become
paralyzed This is one reason why VIC desire to
see it cleared of without delay. Again, we think
generation has no right 10 transmit TO posterity
debt, without an ample equivalent justifying it.
Any amount of territory in this case, will be no
equivalent for the simple reason, that posterity
conld have the territory without the debt if things
were LETT to take their course. When it became
rire for the change (and we ought not 10 want it
until does so becomc)it falls naturally into the
lap Of the union as the apple when rre, to the
lap OF its mother earth.
There is no question but there will be debt
There is no question but it must be paid Like all
other debts there is no question: but the quicker
is paid, the better it will be for all concerned and
we say pay it at once, as matter of interest TO
ourselves, and of interest and duty TO posterity-
And let us pay as we go, or not go at all. As
with individuals, so, beyond question, with ma.
tons. The individual who pays as he goes, is a..
ways on the same footing aud his prosperity is GER
TAIN whilst on the other hand, he who runs rec kess-
