The New York Herald undertakes to enlighten
the people as to the origin of these designation of
these two sections of the Locofoco Party of New
York. 1t says that Hunkers" are SO designated
from their devotion to the spoils, always taking
care to supply themselves with skunk" from
the public treasury. That the "barnburners" are
those who, disappointed in the endeayor to obtain
hunk" are disposed to burn down the house
which contains the spos. That the one party are
the rats who have possession of the grain in the
barn; and the other those rats who being unable
to obtain entrance and a share of the spois, would
rejoice to the barn consumed that the gluttons
might GO" supperless to- bed' as we'll as them
selves.

The origin of the term Jarnburncr was, WE

well known that polirlcs were for very many
years arranged and directed by class Of men
called the Albany Regency. They held the
Stale offices and parcelled them out their
own domain. OF course this in time tegal jea-
ousy and opposition. The young aud new
members of the parry could see neI,her justice
nor proprie,y IN ,hi, sort of political arlsocra-

long unrew arded. took sides with them. This
manifested Itself in the Legislature. a radical
faction was formed, and the great point Of tue

Man Drowned!
March 8

We learn that on Friday afteroon last, about
o'clock, sail-boat, with man in it, was
seen by Mr.. Seth Hathorn, of Woolwich, COM
ing down the river, opposite his farm. In a
few moments afterwards Mr.. H. looked again,
and the man was missing from the boat. At
the same time he observed something that
might have been his cap, which was afterwards
found a few rods astern of the boat. The
boat was picked up near Thwings Point, by
Mr.. Gilbert Eames, in whose possession it re-
mains, as was also the cap, which was near the
place where the man was supposed to have
fallen overheard. Bypapers which were found
in small trunk in the boat, his name is sup
posed to be Daniel Woodward, of Augusta.
The boat contained some provisions and mate
rails for catching fish. 1t is reasonable to sup
pose that he fell overheard, as there was a
very heavy wind and considerable sea in the
river at the time.

REVOLUTION IN VIENNA.-A letter of the
18th of March, from Vienna says, Vienna is
in FULL REVOLT. All the inhabitants of the
Capitol rose en- masse, and every one is in high
fermentation. The students united with the
Burgess Guard, and the crowd then proceeded
to the villa of Prince Metternich, situated on
the Rennweg, and destroyed it.
After that the mass proceeded to the Chan
cellory of the State, the students heading
them. The most exaggerated demands were
made.
A person who was, however, not known,
appeared OH the balcony, and declared that the
Emperor would in short time satisfy all their
demands-that his Majesty had every conf
dence in the fidelity of the inhabitants of vi
emma. Nevertheless, the troops were called
out, and we'll sustained fire kept up.
At the departure of the courier, tranquility
had not been restored. Nineteen persons are
said to have been killed, and fourteen wound

The troops fred upon the crowd and killed
six men. The revolt had then attained its
height. The captain commandant was drag

been wounded in the head was placed on it.

as 1t is-in the exigency of this ar, odious as
it is-in circumstances so affective to the COM
rnunity, and so disturbing to the business OF
those whom represent as those which now
surround us-I say still that if the question
be put to me whether will have peace, with
new States, say no-no-no! Whys Be-
cause, Sir, there is no necessity of being driven
into the dilemma, in my judgment. Other
gentlemen may think differently. l own no
man's conscience but mine own. l mean to
make clean breast for myself, and protest
that see no reason whatever to believe that
we cannot obtain as safe peace, and as prompt
q peace without territory, as with 1t. The
things are separable, There is no necessary
connection between them. Mexico does not
wish US to take her territory that she may
receive our money. Far from it. She yields
her assent-if she yield it at all-reluctantly,
and we all know it. If she yield, it is the
result of force ana there is not man here
that does not know it. Let me say, Sir, that
if this Trist paper shall finally be rejected in
Mexcr, it is most likely to be because those
who, under our protection prepared 1T, can
not persuade the Mexican Congress or the
Mexican people to agree to this cession OF ter
ritory. The thing most likely to break up
what is now expected to take place, is the re-
pugnance of the Mexican people to part with
Mexican territory. They would prefer to
keep their territory, and that we should keep
our money; or we resolve that we should
keep our money and allow them to keep their
territory. We shall see. 1 pretend to no
powers of prediction. do not know what
may happen. The times are full of strange
events. But think it probable, that if the
treaty which has gone to Mexico shall fail to
be ratified. it will be because of the aversion
of the Mexican Congress or the Mexican
people to cede their territories. or any portion
of them, belonging to their republic.
