any paper who thinks otherwise, get some schoo-boy
to parse the resolution and be will be convinced of
his own ignorance.
The very next resolution in the series, from which
the ReveiIle copied and distorted the above, is
follows:
ResolUed That the alleged conspirators alluded to-
are The ir0rSt enemies Of Teas and its proposed
neration TO this Union, that their inyeterate and
suspicious precptancy will delay the object they pro-
ess to have in view, and if persisted in, will forever
prevent It's accomplishment"
If the editor of the Reveillc had been really g
norant TO comprehend the purport of the resolution
first quoted, this, surely ought to have enlightened
him. II did do so, no doubt; but he was too dlshon-
est TO acknowledge his fault. This resolution not
only illustrates the true intent of the other,-showing
that the construction put upon it by the Revele is
false,but further shows that they who passed it
were the friends Of annexation, and denounced the
I" feU individuals" before alluded to, the " rorSt
enemies" of that measure. The Reveile thinks that
"old documents are dangerous things" The last
resolution proves them to be in this case, for it
demonstrates his mendacty. "Old documents are
dangerous only to knayes and liars not to honest
men.
As to the merits of these resolutions, (and of the
whole series, properly construed,) have nothing
now to say, for they are not in question. We by 70
feel bound to become the champions of every
resolution that may have been may be passed by
every democratic meeting But when it shall become
in our opinion necessary, and when any who
can be reasonably supposed to possess common hon.
esty, shall question the proprety of their adoption
the truth of the facts upon which they based
we hold ourselves ready to defend them.
The Reveile goes to criticize what he alleges
has been the "Sentinels course generally" As might
be anticipated from the above, it is guilty of the
grossest dscouresy, misrepresentation, and palpable
untruth We do not think it worth while to dignity
give consequence TO it by any further reply, than
merely to say that it is disgaceul even to SO un-
principled paper as the Cambridge RereiHe. As
long as the Sentnes generally" is satisfac-
tory to its political friends (and even to many Of its
political foes, who love truth almost well party)
it can afford to despise all such assaiants

DREADFUL ExPLosToN.-We learn from the Gin
cinna papers that the steamboat A. n Johnson on her
first trip from Cincinnati Wheeling, exploded, on
the Dot ult., about 10 miles above Maysvile. The
steamer was at the time in the act of rounding out
from shore, having just discharged some passengers
OH the wharf boat at Manchester. After the explo-
sion she is stated have burnt the waters edge
One of the boilers of the boat is stated to have been
blown some 200 yards from the boat, into cornfed,
another 900 to 800 yards into the same field. The
Atlas says:
"As near as be told there % cabin passen-
gers, and 60 deck from go to 50 are killed or miss
ing. There were six ladies OH board-al saved A
or children, also saved The Boone went I'D from
Maysvie to the scene of the disaster, and brought
81 dead and wounded to that place, and or to this
city.
Five of these left at Maysvie, were not expected
to live when the d. Boone left There were 81 horses
on board-6 were saved. The circumstances of the
death of the First Clerk, reputed most singular
He was blown some 100 yards on shore!-sprang up,
ran some distance into house, ran under bed, and
when persons got to him, he was just dying. The
2nd Engineer said just before he died, that he had
tried the boilers just before the accident and found
plenty of water in them but the Clerk says he heard
the Engineers complaining several times, after they
left this city, that the pumps did not work WE'LL"
As the books of the boat were all lost, it is not
probable the entire loss of life and property will be
ascertained.

Ex-senator FAIRFIELD, of Maine died at Washing

Ex-senator FAIRFIELD, of Maine, died at Washing
ton on the Oath ult. The Union Of the 9th says:
"The intelligence of this most melancholy and pain
full event, which took place OH Friday evening last,
made known through our community, as 1T was, on
Christmas morning, oyerspread with deep and sud-
den gloom the feelings natural TO that day. The high
distinction of Governor Fairfield in his public life, his
great value and usefulness in the councils OF the ma
ton and the noble qualities of mind and heart which
adorned and dgnied his private life-all united with
the appalling and almost inexpllcabe suddenness Of
MS death, to create emotion unusually profound
and universal We unable be present in the Cap
itol when his death announced In each house OF
Congress; but we learn from those who were there,
that the was deeply impressive, and that the
manner in which the announcement was made and re-
ceyed bore ample testimony to the high consideration
in which Governor Fairfield held by his associates
in Cong ress and to their of the great loss
which both they and the country have been called 10
sustain in the solemn providence which has removed
him from among them. The death of such man, oc-
cupying such position and in the prime of bis life,
would be all times affective dispensaton but
occurring, it now occurs, at the very commence
ment of the abors of this Congressman the eve Of
great deliberations, in which he would have borne
conspicuous part it hardly fail TO be regarded as
public calamity"
Both Houses were to attend the funeral of the de-
ceased on Tuesday, Dec. 29th.
The W. Correspondent of the Gin. Enquirer says:
"There is great disposition here to censure his

A statement appeared in the Herald Of yesterday,
copied from the Liberia Herald, published at Mon
rovia, the coast of Africa giving an account OF
the melancholy death of passed midsipman Whee-
lock, United States Navy, on bord the United
States brig of war Porpoise: We have since been
favored with the perusal of a letter written by H.
G.. Gordon, Lieutenant, commanding said vessel,
to the mother of the deceased, communicating the
sad intelligence. We perceive that the account
taken from the Liberia Herald is IN every respect
incorrect Passed midsipman Wheelock was
native of Virginia, and had just completed his
twenty third year On Tuesday evening the 18th
of April ultImo, soon after the expiration of his
watch, the report of pistol was heard In his apart
ment, and he was found corpse in his bed, having
shot himself through the brain. He expired in
stantly. He was buried with military honors at ST.
George de Elmiria, Dutch military post on the
west coast Of Africa. From the statements Of
Captain Gordon's letter, it further appears the de-
ceased was much respected and beloved by his
commander and all his brother officers, who have
united in erecting monument to his memory. Cap
tain Gordon states that for some time before the
fatal deed 1t had been apparent that the deceased
was laborng under naental arrangement, probably
produced by the irving nature OF an African climate
No other cause vas Known to have led to the fatdi
act. and those assigned in the Liberia newspapbs
are altogether unfounded and erroneous. 1t is wiz
pleasure we make this correction, as some solace4

AFFAIRS AT MoNTEvrDEo-A recent arrival from
to the 10Th OF April; but the only item of interest
from that quarter, is contained In the following ex-
tract from letter received at Boston, dated Mon

OF affairs here, they are in most wretched state
The English Minister, Mr.. Gore, and French Min
lister, Baron de Gros, have lately arrived and nego-
tatlons are now going on between them and Rosas,

What the result will be, none can say, but the
general impression is that it must be decided in
the course ola few days. They are said to have
come out with full powers and authority to nego-
tiate, from their respective governments and the
general opinion now is, that the result must be-
either entire removal of the blockade or else a
very strict enforcement of the same. We are all
IN the greatest state of excitement at present. to
know how things may turn--no one wishing to act
until something shall be known decisive This
government is drained completely-the funds en-
tirely exhausted, and unless England or France
furnishes them further to prosecute the war,
the government must fall. They have already
called upon the merchants and residents for aid to
the amount of $4,000 for month more, which
has been refused. There is no one able to form an
opinion of what the result will be. The govern
ment is deeply indebted to the troops, and they
have refused to lay down their arms In case Of
peace being effected, until they are fully paid for
their services; and being unable so to do, they
threaten to take any private property they may fnd
and thereby pay themselves. Such is now the
state OF affairs with us, and under such circum-
stances terms OF a peace are looked forward to
with more fear than continuance of the war"
