Tuesday, May 8.

Or Unless the most active exc rions are
made by our Wing friends in those States
where elections are yet to be held, we shall
certainly be in the minority in the next Houh
of Representatives. This will be lamentable
indeed, and will place the President in an ex.
si,ion. The Senate is locofoco beyond she
hope Of redemption for the present,-but we
can save the House, if we are disposed SO to
do. Neither do we want TO fold it by bare
majority We desire to secure such power
there as will give us the officers OF the House,
aud such officers as will he acceptable to the
great body Of The party We want also such
mab as is necessary 10 cary whatever measuS
es the party may deem oxpedient. In short,
we desire such major ty, beyond all doubt,
and exclusive Of uncertain and waiyering
men, as WILL at all times, sustain the Exee
cutive, and support the ,rne principles Of the
Wing party.
All this can be acc, mplished if our Wing
friends are true to the cause and to ,hems
,
neglect to make tho proper exer,ion, We shall
surely suffer the modification of defeat, and
the unpleasant consequences which must en-
sue through the next Congress. Our oppo-
nen,s will not be idle they never slumber
and they never retire from the arena. They
work with vigilance which well repays them
for all their labor. Let US follow them in
this respect, and there will be no danger.
In the last Congress, the delegation from
Kentucky stood six Wings and four Loco
Focos, if the Wings are only united in this
gallant State, they can secure every district
but one. In Tennessee, Louisiana and Ala
bama VIC ought also to gain sufficiently to
make UP our losses in Virginia and Connect,
j cut.
From the present aspect of affairs, unless
our friends come nobly up to the work in the
States which we have named, it would not he
strange II the political complexion oflhe next
House should be decided by the result in the >
Western District Of Rhode Island How
important II Is, then, that our friends there
should arouse from their Indifference and,
laying aside all sectional feelings, all preud-
ccs and all minor considerations, manfully
unite on the Wing candidate, and elect him
lriumph7ntly.
Il Is time whor we have no right, moral.
ly or politically, to trine with an election of
such Importance as this. We owe duty to
ourselves and to our brethren throughout the
county their eyes are fixed auxiously upon
rs, and they expect as they have right to-
that we shall be faithful in the discharge of
our duty.
The election in the Western District NAV
very probably be decided by the vote of New
Shoreham We therefore call upon our Wing
friends there TO exert their whole strength, for
vas, responsibility is upon them.

Rochester on Monday evening there was a
severe gale of wind, which occasoned de-
plorable accident at the circus of Welch, Della
van & Nathan, whose company are now per
forming in that city We copy from the
American Of yesterday
The wind had been blowing strongly all
the afternoon, but towards evening 1t had
somewhat the appearance of subsldlng, and
large numbers Of people came out TO attend
, the circus,
! The tent, owing tc the wind, had been Sc
cured by double and triple fastenings so
strongly that no danger of its blowing down
was apprehended, and the performance began
the ten, being full Of people--probably about
two thousand five hundred present. About s
o'clock however, there came up sudden
gust of wind from the South west so strong
that the stay ropes and chains gave way the
centre poles broke one after another and the
canvass was crushed down upon the heads OF
the people below. The lights went out OF
course, and the confusion that followed was
indescribable.
| After the wreck was somewhat cleared
away i, was discovered that several persons
were injured, and we are deeply panied to add
that the injuries Of one man, William ii.
Crowell, were fatal Mr. Crowell had been
struck on the head, probably by one of the
b. oxen ami falling poles, and his scull on the
left side in the region of the temple was
broken He died in about twenty-five min.
utes after the accident. lie left wife and
four children.
| Another person hur, is Mr.. George Ives, a
printer, who was struck on the back and his
spine injured. 1, is hoped however that he
will recover. We believe there were no 9th
crs seriously hurt A fine horse was in the
ring when the acciden, happened, bu, by the
presence Of mind Of one of the men he was
taken out without tramp|ing upon or in any
way injuring any person. The other horses
were also taken out of the small tent in
which they were enclosed as speedily as pos
sble, and just at the moment it blew down.
The wind was so violent that a wagon on
the ground was overturned by it, Chimneys
in the west part OF the city were blown down
and we heard that the walls of brick house
were also prcstra,ed. The damage to the
tent, which was very considerable, was SO
far repaired yesterday that the company per-
formed last night, and the Managers applied
