THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

We are not aware that the old Constitution was
spoken Of or thought of at the late Convention for
the nomination of Delegates and we know that the
ticket was nominated without reference TO it-yet
it may satisfy the curiosity of some TO know how
the men nominated stood with regard to it. We
will therefore state.
In iavor--Lovell, Davenport Secor
Aganst-M Clellan, Jackson, Cole, Reymert
Sanders was absent from the Territory during the
canvass and until after the election. His views we
know not.
This is division Of which neither party can
complain and if there be any jealousy existing be-
tween the two wings OF the democratic party, arr
sing from the division on this question: this, we
trust will heal it.

- The brig Maria Cobb, which loaded
at this place with some 5000 bushels of
wheat and 400 barrels of beef, we learn is
ashore at Big Point au Sauble, some place
near the Manitous on the eastern shore of
the lake. The extent of damage to vessel
or cargo we have not learned.
p. S. We learn hatthe vessel and cargo
with the exception Of 200 barrels beef, are
total loss. The place where she went
ashore is some miles north Of Grand River,
on the east shore. The wheat was owned
by Mr.. II. Durkec, and the beef by Messrs.

fully insured.

Collision g. .4bdad0Rmenf.-An unusual
incident occurred on Saturday night during
the gale, and one which promises rather to
the advantage of the gallant tar who" Don't
gjccupthe Ship"
The schooner, George Uafs0n put about
when the gale struck her, and soon after
came in contact with the brig L. H. Scott.
When the vessels came together, the crash
50 heightened the man at the helm that he
leapcd on board the brig, followed by the
Mate and Captain. The only remaining
hand was man who shipped that day. He
seized the helm, and the vessels separated,
leaving him housekeeping the cabin boy,
who was asleep below, TO manage the yes
sci as best he could. He called up the bow,
and they undertook the perlous task of wor-
king her into port alone. The brig Scott
came on like race horse and arrived safe
lyinpoTt. The Captain ofthe schooner sup
posing his vessel lost, reported according
ly. AboutanhOur afterwards, however. the
schooner came down gallantly and entered
the harbor in fine style, showing the Cap
tain that he had been rather too hasty in
reporting the loss of his craft.
After the Schooner had found a safe berth
and was made all fast, the Captain and his
desertcrs undertook to go on board again,
butwere ordered off by the man who had the
vessel in charge, he claiming that as the Cap
tain and crew had abandoned the vessel,
and he had saved her, he was entitled to sal
wage. He holds the vessel under that claim
and we DO not see how they can avoid it.
