The Greas Festival NJ Lexington.
The Union Festival at Lexing-
ton, KY, is represented as an enthu-
siastic gathering, although the day
was most inauspicious; the rain fall
ing heavily during the whole time.
We take the following from the Lex
ington Observer and Reporter:
The number present, some four or
FIVE thousand, only served TO indicate
what would have been the assem-
blage, had the weather been propi-
tious. We could scarcely repress a
smile occasionally at the sorry figure
we all cut-drenched with rain, yet
listening with unabated interest 10
the rich tones OF Mr.. Clay's voice,
which to US never seemed to be in
higher perfection. He spoke not an
hour. He desired to stop once or
twice, but was compelled by cries OF
ego on" to continue his remarks
We suppose the honorable speaker
concluded that if we, who had no
shelter, could stand it, he ought to be
able to do so safe as he was compar-
ativeIy from rain, which fell all the
time he was addressing the assembly.
Not one half Of the audience could
catch the sound Of the speakers
voice, powerful as it has been and
vet is, but for the rain he would have
been distinctly heard by all. Per-
haps, under the circumstances, Mr.. e.
NAV deem it advisable to do, what
we believe it was not his intention
to do, write out the substance of his
remarks for publication, although we
admit that it is scarcely needed to
let the country understand his posi-
ton. This is a matter, however, for
his own consideration, and OF which
we profess TO have no knowledge.
If any proof were needed, this
meeting would, beyond question, de-
monstrate that there is but one feel
ing in Kentucky with regard TO the
honorable adjustment of the slavery
question by Congress; and that no
Disunion designs, whether from the
North or the South, will find lavor

average a dead horse per mile; and the

to be very unhealthy" II is our duty to say that
this report s entirely incorrect if the condition Of
our city be compared with that Of any other city in
the Union at the present time; and that II is ex-
aggerated, comparing the present and general
healthfulncss Of Washington. There il, unfortu-
nately, unusual prevalence Of dysentery here at
this time, but while this IL not bad enough TO pro-
duce any alarm, In all other respects Washington
is exceedingly healthy, and her bils of mortality
compare very favorably with those of the most ia
vored sections Of the Union.
This report having been circulated somewhat ex-
tensively, has rendered correction proper and ne
cessary.

Flood In the Upper Mississtppt


The tremendous rains of the last three weeks
have gradually swelled the Upper Mississippi and
its tributaries, until we have the highest water
known in these parts. The river at this point ia
least eighteen inches higher than it was at the
spring freshet last April, and was this morning still
rising slowly. At st. Anthony, yesterday after
noon, it had fallen about an inch. From this we
presume the still increasing waters here from
the Minnesota. The rise at st. Anthony SO
great that the boom above the mill dam broken,
and the immense body of logs carried down against
the dam. The water pours over the structure in a
huge torrent; and about fifteen hundred logs were
swept OIL before they could be checked Some
sawed lumber was also carried away The steamer
Governor Ramsey was unable to reach Sank Rap.

different places along shore, being carried off Rice
creek, Coon creek, and Rum river, are higher than
ever before known. Mr.. Freeman's house, stables,
garden, &c. at the mouth ofthe first named stream,
are flooded. The Minnesota is not yet high at
the April rise. Mr.. Martin Mcleod, from Lacqui
Pare reports heavy rise about the sources all the
low lands being under water.
Information has been received from Mr.. kittson
the trader at Pembina, that the whole country
along the Rcd river is completely submerged, and
he, with the rest of the inhabitants, forced to take
to the hills. The annual caravan of traders from
Red river, which usually reaches ST. Paul about
this time, need not be expected for several weeks
The destruction on ST. Croix river has been very
great report, however, that the race at the
Falls has been destroyed, is untrue. The mill is
somewhat injured, and many logs carried off. All
the booms below the falls-at Marine Osceola, Ar
cola, &c.--are broken, and general havoc commit
ted among the logs At Saltwater, the flood is
over the principal street, running parallel with the
lake. and of course all the lower floors of the Build
ings along II are submerged. Along all the streams
mentioned, the crops planted on the bottoms are
probably entirely destroyed This will prove the
severest lose OF all, settlers are not yet in
circumstances TO bear such a calamity without
great Inconvenience and suffering. No teams can
now pass to the upper country, and the great body
OF Indian supplies have not yet gone forward.

The 3Oth nit, that JAMES f.. HEATH, esq, has
become one Of the propretors and principal edi-

with which he discharged the duties Of tina.
office. He brings to the editorial chair talent,
knowledge, and integrity, which cannot fail to
maintain and extend the influence and useful
ness Of his paper. Mr.. HEATH, in his intro
dnctory article, has the following remarks:
"The frst article of my political creed is, a firm
and deliberate adherence to the Wing cause.
place II first. because believe that the cause itself
IL thoroughly identified with the best interests of
our country.
81 regard the Wing party as the Legitimate de-
scendant and true exponent of the old Republican
party; like that, opposed to arbitrary power in
every form or shape, or in any department of gov
eminent; and, like that, just and liberal and con-
sentative in its doctrines and opinions Iconsider it
emphahcally the party of genuine pr0gress-rest-
ing upon the strong basis Of law and order-upon
public and private morality, and looking to the
happiness and improvement of society the con-
summation of its best and highest hopes. 1t is
great in numerical strength-but it depends more
upon its moral and intellectual power than upon
any thing elsc--and it is therefore that cannot
assent to the specuations Of even some Wings,
who, in assigning limited duration to all parties,
take particular pains to include their own. In a
certain sense, all human organizations are imper-
feet and perishable--but long as Wing princi
pies exist, they must assume that or some other
kindred name to represent them. 1t cannot, how
ever, be too often too earnestly urged upon the
Wing party, that much, nay, almost every thing,
may depend upon their own union and harmony.
cannot conceive why the bond of political bro
therhood, more than any other tie binding on hu-
man interests and affections, should be weakened
by unessential differences of opinion. If
the maxim that principles should be preferred 10 men,
why is there such frequent Earring about men,
when there is little principle involved"
In the same paper Mr.. MosELEY announces
his retirement from active participation in its
editorial labors.
