Ma. 'EpToRi Since the great and glorious victory"
achieved by the wings Of the Union In the last pres
dental there have been several State elections
for members OF Congress- both North aud south, which
have resulted nmical TO the wing party and
TO announcement In the Trb-ne OF the 18Th inst 'the
House Of Representatives is lost to the wings
The question naturally arises Why cannot, or does not
the wing party retain for any considerable time its national
ascendency" IL will he remembered that in 1910 the
wings succeeded TO power, with President and Vice
President of their selection, aud large majority in
Congress, but their power like the morning cloud
and early dew, vanished away and now, In less than
months after the great eioeings OF victory by the wings
from end Of this nation to the other, hear their
OF defeat being already shorn Of their strength
and threatened with hopeless minority Aud wherefore
The editor Of the Tribune attributes their "misfounes 10
their "ynes ~ and would ain have its readers believe
hs the hatred 10 slavery Of tbs wing party was another
reason Of its defeat.
Without stopping here to examine the claim Of the whg
party 10 be par excellence the anti slavery party which
may do Ia another communication, wish as briefly ne
possible to account for the speedy decsdence Of the wbg'
Of the Union, and thus examine their virtues" The
editor OF the Tribune, in the article before alluded 70, EN-

For ourselves we had earnestly wished we'll to
Mr. Brown; and though we held a free conyersa-
ton with HIM on Tuesday on the position which he
then occupied, We certainly received not the slight
est hint of any thing which had passed ON Monday
between himself and the Free Sellers - Union.
So the Union held :" free converse
ton" with Mr.. Brown on Tuesday g on
the position which he then occupied. ("
The Union does not let the world know
what this s'free conversation" amounted
to. The only clue we have to it is to be
found in the Unions article the next
morning, endorsing Mr.. Brown as .ad-
mirably qualified to discharge the duties
of the Chair,'' and invoking two southern
ultra proslavery men and four Free Sellers
to make good his election 1t is plain that
the Union must have learned from this
free conversation" that one or the other
extremes was to be bamboozled. The
Union labored to play six aces, two pro-
slavery aces and four Free-Soil aces.
"The reader must, therefore, conceive
with what delight the Union 60 chucklcdn
in its sleeve over the four aces it had in
its bute. 1t was strong game, and would
have won if there had been no reneging.
The Union says the Wings of the North
are call Wilmot provisoists-Abolition-
lists i'll fact" OF course the Democrats of
the North who are Wilmot provisoists are
all true to the South. This is the logic of
the UniOn-its practice, too; for Wilmot

the proviso-was one of the four aces it

FRIGHTFuL AccIDENr.--A frightful and serious
accident occurred yesterday afternoon to some
workmen who were employed in painting the house
at the southwest corner of Prune and Fourth Streets
in the occupancy of Job r. Tyson, esq. Two jacks
were put out of the third STORY windows, TO which
a rope was attached, and on this rested board
that formed a hanging scafiold. Three painters,
James Sample, Thomas Sullivan, and Peter May
land were on this scaffold
One end OF the rope becoming unravelled the
scafiold gave way under them, and Sample and
Sullivan were preciptated 10 the ground, and sus
tanned serious injuries. Sample was hurt internal
ly, and Sullivan had leg broken They were
conveyed TO the hospital. Maryland held to the
other end of the rope and taken into of the
second-story windows. His situation moment
ariy imminent in the extreme, and his escape was
fortunate. youth had got into the house through
another second story window but an instant before
the heavy plank with the falling men came down.
Had he been struck, he must have instantly been
killed. The injured men, when were last at the
hospital, in the evening, were doing as we'll as
could be expected.-Phil. North Amer., l4h.

REMARKABLE EFFECT or LIoHTNtNG.-Thc Potts

ing remarkable account Of two ~aen being struck
down by violent shock Of lightning, without be-

During the thunder storm Of Thursday last a
bolt struck the building occupied as a feed store
by Messrs. Snyder Co, near Lock No. u, AT
east Schuylkill Haven. The fluid struck the roof
passed down the front Of the building, and separa.
ting, descended on either side Of the front door
through which il entered into the store, where Mr.
Francis Benseman and Mr.. Snyder were standing.
IL struck Mr. Snyder on the shoulder, and, com
plctey stripping the clothes from that portion Of bis
person, passed down his side, across his abdomen,
through his pantaloons pocket, where was some sill.

very considerable hole which il burned in the bot
tom Of his boot and disappeared through the floor
Mr. Snyder was stricken down senscless and appa-
rently dead, in which condition he remained until
some Of the neghbors carried him out into the rain
which IN a few ninSites caused him ~ revive; he
continues, however, in very weak and precarious
condition.
"Mr. Benseman was also stricken down senscless,
but revived very soon.
"The building shattered from the roof 10 liz

mates were not instantly killed. They represent

Vermont Constitutional Conveufiou

There seems 10 be some misapprehension of the
character OF the convention in Vermont which, as
II has led to unauthorized differences, will axe
the liberty OF correcting The convention il not as
u generally supposed, convention 10 reuse or
amend the constitution Of the State.
The mode of amending the constitution of that
State Is this. Once in years n council Of revi.
SION II elected Of one from each county whose duty
1t Is, among other things, 20 recommend such
amendments as they approve, and TO call conven-
ton TO pass upon them. Delegates are thereupon
elected, but their duty and their po,oer extend No
further than TO say yea nay upon amendments
recommended They cannot frame new ones, or al
ter those presented; and the action of the convention
~ final, IN adopting rejecting them. One Of the
principal amendments now proposed is 10 make
county officers elective by the people
Seven years ago Wing council of revision re-
commended this amendment, and the Locos elected
a majority OF the delegates and rejected il. Tho
late council Of revision we're all Wings and the
amendments proposed have a Wing origin. The
power Of this convention being restricted to sim.
pic negative or affirmative, the Wings are not un.
willing 20 leave the responsibility Of passing upon
the amendments TO the Democrats, and they have
consequently felt little interest in the election OF
delegates. The Wings record as the authors
OF the amendments; we wish to place our adverse
RIGS on record also.
