We have just passed tho ugh one Of the warm

Vermont The parties in this contest we're the
Free Democracy rallying under the Flag Of
Freedom in opposition to slavery and a slave
holding admlnistration-an in opposition to the
leaders Of the old Cass party who refused to
come into the organization of the 3lst May, for
the reason rofessedy, that the 'old issues" which
have divided between the Wing and Democratic
party were not recognized in that organization.
This was very plausible argument, with men
who believed that Democracy consisted in oppo-

gestions upon the real cause which led certain
individuals TO oppose so strenuously and success

Vermont.
We upprehend the grand reason after all has
been kept out of sight. 1t must be apparent to
every one who has paid any attention to the res

who acknowledged their binding force could ev.

Southern Democracy and Free Democracy coull
never unite in Presidential election, unless the
South surrendered the ground on which they
stand and have stood, upon the doctrines of tho

rhe organization of the 3lst of May, and many
of them have rejoced at its defeat. That there
has been determination to break down the FREE

revenge upon the Indians for their treacherous
tsaAsaction No savages ventured near the ship
for the remainder of the day, but she lay at an
Choir in the bay, her sails loosely Tapping in the
air, and apparently no person on board of her.
At day dawn the next morning, some OF the In
dams ventured TO approach the vessel in their
canoes. and discovered Lewis on the deck, who
made friendly signs for them to come on board.
1t was not long before they complied, and as
they clambered up the ships side, Lewis de-
scended into the hold. The decks were now
completely crowded with them, while hundreds
of canoes were gathered close around her, and
men, women and children were rejoicing at their
success.
Now was the time for Lewis's deadly revenge.
He had formed plan of blowing up the vessel,
and had deliberately resolved to sacrifice his
own life to be avenged upon the Indians. When
several hundred bad covered the Tonquin, he
applied spark to the magazine, and the next
instant, with terrific explosion, the crowded
ship blew up, sending its lofty spars and masts
far toward the sky together with hundreds OF
mangled and bleeding savages. Arms, legs and
mutilated bodies, were sent flying through the
air; and dreadful havoc was made in the sur
rounding canoes. The bay presented an awful
spectacle a few moments after the explosion
The Tonquin had disappeared, but the sea was
covered with fragments of the wreck, shattered
canoes, and Indians swimming for their lives or
struggling in the agonies of death; while those
who had escaped the danger remained aghast
and supplied, drilled the air with panic stricken
screams and cries of terror. Upwards of hun
dred savages were destroyed by the explosion
many more were terribly munged and mutilated
and for days afterwards the links and bodies Of
the slain were thrown by he surging waters up
on the beach
Such was the fate, and such the melancholy
end of the ship Tonquin.
