increase. The South are daily call
ed rpon to witness some new assault
upon the rights ofthose owning slaves,
plotted and carried into execution
by the fanatics of the North; and thus
fuel is added to feed the flames of
ultraism on both sides. 1t is painful
ly apparent 10 all eyes that there is
imminent danger in delay, and that
the sooner the questions now before
Congress are disposed of the better
for the whole country. The peace.

PRESENT ASPECT OF THE SLAVE
QuEsTIoN.--it is not to be disguised,
that the subject of slavery is now a
more exciting and dangerous oues-
tlon than ever it has heen at any pre-
vious period ofourpolitical existence.
And yet how rarely is it that we see
or hear it discussed philosophically
and calmly! The extremists of the
North, aided bv such politicians as
Seward, Van Buren,, and Wilmot.
contemplate it in single aspect, an |
without the slightest regard TO con-
sequences. They act upon the mo-
tive that its abolition must be effec-
ted by any and by all means. Force
was openly invoked by the motley
gathering at Cazenovia a few days
ago, and force is re-echoed by the in
snrrec icnuy blacks of the Sorth.-
Societies for the purpose ofencoura-
g'ng the .absconding of the slaves Of
the. South are now openly organized
IN the North, and those who assist in
the work are celebrated as warriors.
or canoni2ed as saints. The condi-
ton of the North is never once esti-
mated by these fanatics if their mad
schemes shall succeed. They will
notsee thatin several Western States
negroes are forbidden to reside
They cannot see that in allthe other
free States inevitable necessity will
comoel the adoption of the same
course. To every intelligent compa-
rison between the condit on of onr
colored population here, and that in
the South, theyreply with contemp-
tuoIs denials and bitter rdenunciations.
That soonor or later these efforts
viii come to point, and that we
shall be called upon tomeet the ques-
ton IN IFS worst and most fearful as
pect, before MANY months have pass
ed, We do not doubt. We are no
a!armists. We can see where the
design is to deceive by rant and fus-
tan; and we are not slow to place a
proper value upon all those excite
ments incidental TO the times; and to
iathom their depth. We look now
upon the combinations and conspira-
cy we have alluded to as a real, liy-
mg' and impending danger, It is true
nls guided by fanatics; but IT is also
lrne mat these fanatics are aided by
o'ners, VINO hypocritlcaily deny the

PROGRESS OF THE CANAL.

The Cumberland Civilian of Friday says: !" On
Monday next it is understood the water will be let
into the Canal for the distance of some seven or
eight miles-the length of the first level, COM
mencing at this place-with the view of trying the
bank. In short time the experiment will be
continued further down the line until the water
communication becomes continuous to dam No. g.
This is, indeed, an earnest of speedy completion !
We have also been informed, since the above was
written, that on tomorrow Saturday the water
will be let in on the levels near locks 69, TO- IL,
in the neighborhood of Oldtown."
The water has been let off the lower part of the
Canal, for the purpose of repairs, which will pro-
baby occupy some FIVE or six weeks. When it is
again opened hope that the trade will extend as
far as Cumberland.
The Civilian also says that, in anticipation OF the
completion the Canal there is an unusual activity
among the Mining Companies of the Cumberland
Coal field. All the companies are preparing to do
large business, and many which heretofore have
had but limited facilities for transportation to mar
ket are making extensive arrangements for the open
ing of the regular coal trade.

THE CUBA EXPEDITION IL New YoRK.-We all
remember the very remarkable flourish which was
made in New York by those papers which favored
the descent upon Cuba, and which pretended to be
in the secrets of the Leaders of the expedition. We
all remember the positiveness with which they
made their assertions, and the mysterious hints
which they gave of what they kept back Now
we wish the gullible public, always ready to listen
credulously to pretension however shameless, to
note this fact The editors of these accredited or
gans of the Cuban expedition have been summoned
before the grand jury, and have testified, under
oath, that they knew nothing achateuer about 1t.
All Of them together do not know enough to throw
upon single individual probable suspicion of hav-
ing violated the law which forbds the first step to-
wards organizing an expedition against foreign
Power.
And will the same gulble public learn any thing
by this experience! Will they hesitate again to
trust the papers which have SO grossly and pur-
posely deceived them! Not bit of it, The same
papers, and, if necessary, on the same subject,
might practise the game over again, and find ready
believers not only in all that they say, but in their
superior intelligence, their " exclusive means of
information, and their !" unriyalled enterprise"

EXPLOSION OF THE STEAMER ST.. LoUIs.-We have al.

steamer St Louis by the colapsng Of her fues The St.
Louis Republican Of May 80 supplies the full particulars
The accident occurred Tuesday night between the hours

though having on board between 25 and 80 deck
but six were required in quarantine. With about
100 passengers boa she proceeded down the stream
to the southern end Of the island with view Of taking the
main channel up the city. While rounding the island the
extreme starboard boiler collapsed the e, fore and aft deal

who were uninured by the sean jumped into the river Of
whom il is ascertaned nine were drowned the remand
saved themselves by swimming 10 shore and to the boat
Upon the decks killed and forty eight scaded
The explosion occurred when those upon deck assem-
bled in parties, congraulang each other upon what they
deemed favorable escape from quarantine. The confusion
in the cabin although the explosion caused injury 10 any
passenger in the cabin, was equal to that below.
The boat dred within few feet Of the Illinois shore,
when the anchor was cast.
