We have alluded to these things with regret. W.

be compelled to speak in harsh terms If the people
of any State. But the truth must be told, and as
long as we permitted to stand here as the peo-
pe's sentinel, the Uhole truth shall be uttered. We
cannot save the Union by covering up the action of
the free Sates or by shrinking from bold and de-
cided expression of opinion. We must look the
danger right in the face and meet it like men, Such
Freesoilers- Abolitionsts-such Is higher law''
men and Constitution-breakers as Gov. Williams
must be given to understand in the clearest and
emphatic terms, that ga bargain broken on one side
is bargain broken all sides -; and that if his
construction of the Constitution and HI. views of du-
y are to PREVAIL there is end at once of the pres
ent order of things. The issue is with the peo-
pie of the free States. 1t is for them to declare, by
their acts, whether the Union shall continue OF be
dissolved.

The latest telegraphic dispatches from Pictou, and
letters from the scenes of the late fearful storm il
the Gulf Of st. Lawrence and along the coast Of
Prince Edwards Island, state that the whole shora
is strewed with the wrecks of vessels and The dead
bodies of their crews.
At the village of Cavendish, (P. E. I.,) the bodies
of twelve persons had foated ashore. The body Of
a man with boy lashed to his back came ashore at
Restice. There is reason to believe that over 100
bodies have already foated to the beach.
Between three and four hundred sail Of American
and Provincial fishing and other vessels succeeded
gale.
The schrs. Florence of Gloucester, Oceana Of
bingham, Lake of Cohasset, and Hannah Branch Of
Newburyport, arrived at Pictou subsequent to the
storm TO repair damages One and all give the most
dismal accounts Of the storm.
Here our correspondent gives the names of large
number of vessels ashore-crews saved" which
vary from previous accounts only in a sgh, degree
he, however, adds to the list, the following Col.
den Gate, of Kennebec; Forest, of NewburyPort

In the list of vessels ashore, With loss of life,
our correspondent says: "A vessel grounded TO the
westward Of Cohead, and Immediately after, went
to pieces. All board perished. Sixty barrels Of
-four, and some dry goods, aoated ashore from the
wreck"
Two vessels were sunk, near Stanhope~names an.

The Money Pressure in Ne0 York-7He Cotton In

| Men-Mereanfik EugaHty, 4c.
The pressure for money in New York b said to
have become tighter. 1t was the common remark,
day or two ago, when was there, that the worst
was over. In truth, there was nothing n the affair
but what resulted from call of lenders upon borrow
ers. The companies and indniduals trading on
credit, and paying, metimes, high rates for money,
have gone, or will 60, to the walk Confidence wilt
be restored, and money will be found at ordinary
rates, when all doubted and indebted concerns shalt
have gone into liquidation.
For the cotton manufacture, in which such vast
capital is invested. and in the success Of which
many interests are involved, there is no prospect Of
immediate relief. There must be failure Of many
companies but, at the same time the business will
be prosecuted. and. with adequate profit, by some
companies that free of debt and have Just started
with improved machinery. Ultimately our manufac-
lures are to be greatly diversified, and thereby. i'm
portatons will be lessened. view of the late Fair
at Lowell, and the Fair now open at Castle Garden,
will furnish the best evidence Of this. Our Ingenious
mechanics and manufacturers, as soon as they find
out what the people want apply their wits to it's pro-
duction. and with never-failing success. Besides,
the cotton manufacturers turning their attention.
to yarns for the markets of Europe and the East En-
dies, and is ultimately to be immense business,
and one of great profit.
The grand smashing expected in New York and
elsewhere. is slow to happen. The extavagant men
and the men who, notwithstanding political warn
ings, " trade borrowed capital i,'-that is, upon
nothing, do business of half million year, and
take fifty thousand year for their personal expenses,
have begun to cry out hard tines" 1t is much to
be hoped that, for them, times will be harder.
One house went into liquidation recently. the his
tory of whose operations is in every body's north.
do not wish to connect its name or fame with aay
of its antecedents, and therefore do not designate the
house by name. Once to shake the cosnsry, on q
large scale, was it's fortune; and again. to lead the
march of rain within smaller compass, was it's ex-
traordinary fate. Upon recent exhibi. and nvesti-
CATION of the concerns of this house, it found that
its senior member had, during the last Eve years,
pended quarter of million of dollars in bis domes-
tic and personal establishment. He was more mode
rate than many others in his expenditures, notwih-
standing the camor about his gold plate and utensils.
In fact have little doubt that he will be awarded
Prize-medal for the economy and ugality with which
he administered other peoples MEANS
If banks and brokers and manufacturers whose cred-
it is now doubted-I speak of the North and East
should be brought generally to iquidation it will be-

DEATH CT COMMODORE WARRINaroN. We have
to perform the melancholy dnty of announcing the
death of this truly good man and veteran Officer who
has occupied for many years the situation of chief of
the Bureau of Ordnance and Hydography at the seat
of government.
He deceased Sunday morning about o'clock, at
his residence in Washington, in the seventieth year
of his age surrounded by affrconate friends, calm
lv and in the full possession of all his faculties.
Com. Warrington entered the Naval service in
January, lsOO and in point of seniority ranked third
on the list of officers. Few men have had more de-
voted admirers than he-none better deserved them.
The virtues of his simple and modest but heroic char
acter endeared him to all, and. we venture to say.
that there is no, one who knew him. whose heart will
not throb with emotion wen he learns the death of

Correspondence of the Wilmington Journal

SMITHvILLr, N. e., Oct. III, 1851.
MEssRs. EDIroRs: see in your paper Of yesteE-
day, article from the Washington Telegraph, copied
in the Baltimore Sun of the 9Th inst which says that
the President would probably remove Mr.. Owen.
consul at Havana, and that the prominent
ly mentioned in connexion with the appointment to
the Office, that of Col. +. B. Walton, of New
Orleans, and adds that the Colonel commanded reg
iment of Louisiana Volunteers in Mexico is a good
linguist, high minded, honorable man, &c. Now,
gentlemen, know enough of this gentleman to en-
ter my protest against his appointment, for the
he is neither mentally morally fitted for the Office.
COL Walton has the good looks and intellect to make
tolerable drawing room exquisite; it is true, he
were only three months in Mexico, without seeing
service; his courage has been impeached it is said
he suffered friend of his to be shot down in his
presence by another without interfering in his
behalf! This happened in New Orleans, in the year
l847 and the name of his friend was Bird. do
not mean to say that Col. Walton is an immoral
in the ordinary of the word, but that he
is particularly deficient in the species of morality
which is component part of true greatness of soul.
For the consulate of Havana man of first rate abi-
tiles is required. Such person could have been found
by President Fillmore in Hugh Waddel ofthis State,
six months ago, If he had seen proper TO have made
the appointment when he had the chance. The Span
iards as race, are amongst the most re lined diplo-
matsts of any European people so is to be presum
ed that of the kid glove and silk stocking gentry
without brains to back his CLOTH will fof
the important consulate of Havana.
Col. Walton is good whig and clever fellow,
and would not object to his holding an Office SUI
table to his abilities. but would recommend the Pre-.
sident to consult Doct. Crane, the PhIenologist. :

1t will be seen, by this recapitulation, that the gain
for Bigier thus far, is 1912! Jonnson's majority
in the whole State, in ls4s, was only 297. 1t is
said to be conceded in Philadelphia that COL Bigler
majority will range from 900 to 10000.
The character of this contest is we'll known to cur
readers Johnston, the Wing candidate, took ground
against the fugve-save law, and ridiculed the idea
that the Union was in danger on account OF the ac-
ton Of the free States; and on the other hand Col.
Bigler the Democratic candidate, staked himself in
favor of the ugiiiveslave law, and took the ground
boldly and uniformly, that the only way to PerPetu-
ate the Union was to do justice to the Southern States,
as the equals of the Northern States in the Confed-
eracy. The issue thus joined, has been determined !;
and most nobly has old Pennsylvania responded to
the hopes and expectations of the friends of the Union
and Constitutional freedom. She comes forward, by
thousands to vindcate the constitution and to rebuke
her unworthy Governor, Johnston. who has 80 long
taed with the dearest interests of her sister States
and brought discredit on her name. Her voice will
be heard and felt, now and hereafter and her exam
pe thus lifted up before all the States in this their
hour Of gloom and apprehension, will be light and
landmark - in the annals of the country. Whatever
other free States may do. Pennsylvania has given
proof that she is still true to the faith nd principles
Of our fathers; and that she is still determined to
stand by the Constitution and the laws passed in pur-
suance thereof The Democracy of Pennsylva MIA
have been mainly instrumental in achieving this bril-
liant and important victory and their noble conduct,
from fret to last in the late exciting contest, will be
long remembered by their brethren of the other States.
