The PooR.-There is probably no one cir
cumstance, by which the true christian charac-
ter of communities may be so correctly estima-
ted as that of their attention and care over the
wants of the afflicted and poor. 1t was duty
most emphatically inculcpted by Jesus Christ
whilst personally on earth, and we may look
in vain for truly christian community, where
the wants of the helpless and poor are neglect
ed, although its members may expend their
fortunes in embellishing tempes-and devote
their lives to the performance of the external
forms and rites Of religion. Independent of
christian duty, the community is probably yet
to be found which has been impoverished or
rendered less prosperous in its pecunary con-
Germs from having devoted too much of its earn
ngs to the relief of suffering or for the good.. of
others. Poverty and crime are often intimate
ly associated, and act and react on each 9TH
er-by relieving the one by an act of mercy,
society may frequently spare itself the ncces-
sity of calling to its aid the arm Of justice to
punish the other If one half of the means
that has been expended in the erection of glib
bets and jails, and in the support Of
criminal courts, had been applied to the crec-
ton Of school houses and to the furnishing Of
good teachers for youth, the former would
have long since ceased to have existed; and ifthe
means that have been expended in the erec-
ton of magnificent buildings ostcnsibly for the
honor Of God, but in reality to crafty the pride
of man, had been applied in true christian
spiri, to the amelioration of the wants and suf-
ferings of humanity, christianity in its simple
purity as taught by Jesus, would ere this have
been the religion Of the whole human race
and righteousness have Covered the earth as thel
traters cOror the sea. Comm.

4 DREADFuL EXPLOsloS AND Loss or LIVE.
A terrible explosion took place at Fast Bos-
ton Thursday afternoon, at quarter past o.
clock, in building belonging TO the Solar Gas
aud Foundry Co. on Lewis st, of which Mcssrs
Curtis d Randall have charge. The explosion
was of boiler attached to the works, and we
regret to say resulted in the death of the en-
gineer, James Mclaughlin, who was quite
nigh the boiler, and serious injury to four or
five others. The men employed there, soma
ten or twelve in number, had just returned from
dinner, and the engineer was about starting the
engine, when the boiler blew up. The build
ing was of brick on three sides and wood on
the other. On the latter side near the y. f..
corner the boiler was located, and the explosion
threw out the side of the building and the roof
overhead, and it is great wonder that the
pieces of the boiler and the falling timbers had
not caused the death of large number of per-
sons. Fragments Of the boiler were thrown to
a great distance, and the noise ofthe explosion
alarmed the whole neighborliood.
The body Of Mclaughlin was found about
ten feet from where the boiler stood, covered
with rubbish, ana presenting sad spectacle
One leg was broken, an ear cut off, as clean
as with knife, and the lower part of the body
was very much scalded The contusions alone
would have caused death. From the position
in which the body lay, he evidently was killed
instantaneously The deceased had been in
the employ Of the Company four years, was 26
years old, and of steady habits. lie was un-
married.
The following persons were wounded =,
Thos. Shackiord, ayoung man, deaf and dumb,
was seriously bruised anL scalded, and had an
arm broken. 1t is thought he cannot survive.
John Moran, slightly wounded. Robert Ca
hoone, bruised, and slightly scaded They
are all single men, and the two latter Will
probably soon be about again
The explosion was caused by the insuiIicien-
cy of water in the boilers.

\ The ELEcTIoN.-The annual State election
will be held in less than two weeks, and as vet
scarcely note Of preparation has been heard on
either side. Our friends have done nothing,
and our opponents have done nothing openly
The undoubted majority of the Wings and
their great superiority in the registration, have
given them perfect confidence in the result, and
this confidence will be justified if the proper
means are taken to bring the majority out IL
this be neglected we might be defeated were
our majority twice as great.-The Congression
al election in the Western District stands as a
memorable example that an active and vigiant
minority may defeat careless and confident
majority. We earnestly trust that there may
be no repetition of the fatal error by which that
election was lost. 1t is not much that our
friends are required to do, but the little that is
required is indispensably necessary. A very
slight excrton will bring our friends in over
whclmng numbers to the polls but this excr-
ton must be made promptly and efficiently and
now IS the time to make ii.
The registration has been very thorough on
the part Of our friends. 1t is only necessary to
see that those who are qualified to vote shall
understand the importance of exercising the
right, and not allow Indifference and over con-
fdencc to betray them into false security
Oar opponents can hardly make any show un-
der their own proper flag but they are silently
collecting the elements of dscord, and endcav-
oring to unite the various ntc 'csts which have
no common object except hostility the present
order of things. They hope b. this policy to
drive some and to deceive Others, and though
they certainly cannot flattcr themselves with
any hope of success, they think that in this
manner they will, at least, be in position to
avail themselves of any thing which may happen
that they will keep their political stock in the
niarke, ready for any bidder who may find &C.
casion to use it. Against all this we must take
the precauton Of good organization and of
full vote. .-PrsrMncc journal.

Ma. WEgsrER's REMARKs.-A portion OF
the synopsis of Mr.. Webster's remarks on the
loan bill, Is Incorrect as published in our
Congressional proceedings of Thursday Our
report was copied from a loco ioco paper and
Is about as correct as the locos generally get,
when giving reports of whig speakers.
The following are the remarks referred to.
Mr.. Webster said he supposed that he
should be called a Mexican Wing, that being
the established term in such eases He could
say that he did not like Mexicans he could
also say that the greatest Mexican he knew of
IN tins country was the distinguished Senator
Of Michigan
MIR. CAss inquired why the Senator applied
such an epithet TO him.
Mr.. Webster would. tell him. What was
iald down by high authority as constituting
Mexican, IN this country, was aflording aid
ana comfort to the MeXlcans. The Senator
had gwen them aid and comfort in the highest
degree, by saying emphallcally that the obec,
oi The bill for the increase of the army was not
to harm Mexico, but only to frighten her.
II anything could be comfortable to a nation a.
galnst which such an extensive show of pre-
paratlon was made, it must be such an assur-
ance from SO high an authority.
But what was the real object of these thirty
new regiments, which were intended to be SO
extensively useful in the frightening way =
That was question Of some consequence and
he would answer it. Perhaps he might go
little farther than the Senator, and say that
the genuine object was no more to irighten
than 10 harm Mexico. These regiments were
intended TO be effective al home here was to
be their field Of glory. lie charged upon the
administration the main, the great object in
raising them was 10 create more patronage,
and to give the government new power over
the ballot boxes of the country.
