Tate Of the Boilers.

The defeat Of the New York Senatorial Boilers
most signal. if not singular. BY last accounts it
vas not certain that more than three out of the
twelve had been reelected. They hindered the
Canal enlargement, and now the people have him
dered theirs, politically. Much political capital
ms intended to have been made by these loco Sc
cessionists. They thought that the people would
hear every thing that had on it the endorsement
of democracy, and that their action would event.
u.te in the complete triumph of loco focoism in
the Empire state. But how bitterly have they
been disappointed. Word had been passed along
tle whole loco line, reaching even to Iowa, or
derng the faithful to shout hozannas in praise of
their action. How short has been their triumph |!
How complete is their defeat. How mum are
those who 50 lately sung their praises.
The question which led to their boiling was,
sShall the State appropriate nine millions of dol
hrs, to complete the enlargement of the Erie
Canal2'' A bill in accordance with this passed
the Lower House, and went to the Senate, in
which body it was well known the majority were
IA favor Of endorsing the action of the lower
Aesse. The loco focos in that body, with one
or two exceptions, We're determined to defeat it
II possible; but they discovered there was but
one way in which to do it, and that was to vacatc
their seats and leave the Senate without quorum
being virtual revolution. Before putting their
threat into execution, they tried every species of
.naneuvring, and hoped to frighten the majority,
,by telling them that they would not allow the
usual appropriation bills to pass, unless the Canal
enlargement Bill was withdrawn or defeated
This had no effect The majority stood firm by
TIE constitution and the laws, and the Opposition
Senator's withdrew from the Senate, resigned
their seats, and appealed to the people 10 justify
their acts. Their being no quorum, the Senate
was brought to sudden termination. There be-
ing no appropriation bills passed, Gov. HUNT,
issued his Proclamation for an extra session and
pFecepts were sent to the vacated Senatorial dis
tricts. This prompt action was necessary to save
tAe credit Of the State. The result is before our
readers.

TRIBUTE TO THE DEPARTED.
ponm Far the load ,

Room for the dead?
Yes; where no sleeper lies,
Thither with fearful eyes,
mid sobs and bursting sighs,
We bear this dust.
Place for the dead?
Here, in this calm retreat.
Where Spring birds love TO meet,
And mingle music sweet,
We lay thee down.
Rest for the dead?
Life's voyage safely past, ..5
The haven gained at last,
The anchor firmly cast,
Here sweetly sleep.
Home of the biest!
In realms of peace and light.
With throngs of seraphs bright,
Where day ne'er yields to night.
There doth she dwell.
To weep no more.
Nor breathe ona stifled moan,
Since hush'd the expiring groan.
And the freed soul hath flown,
To brighter scenes.
There may we meet,
(Lfe's busy turmoil o'er.
A place on earth no more,)
Upon that peaceful shore,
Never to part. l.. r.

For the information of our cotemporary OF the

his unfair and groundless insinuations, we feel
called upon to say that he has no authority for
such a presumption as he entertains of our

We should be very sorry to have any cause to
presume that he entertains sentiments different
from ours touching the case stated.

AN OLD AND Coop oNE.-A subscriber to the

Such punctuality in such cause is enough to en-

payment of newspaper subscriptions operates to
shorten life, we are not prepared to say. We
shouldn't wonder If it did some.

SoAflSc Ir.-The application of soap and hot
water to brick wall, and as soon as dry by
aprinkling the wall with solution of alum, is
said by the Albany Knickerbocker, to be an ef-
tectual cure for dampness. Water thrown on a
wall thus prepared, the writer says, ran off as
from ducks back, without leaving a trace of
the water on the wall. As the experiment is not
expensive, we should like to see it tried on some
q our brick buildings, which seem to absorb half
the water that comes near them.

Oskaloosa, June 1, SAYS
The recent rains have nearly flooded every
town on the Des Moines river. It is reported
that all the towns on the lower part Of the river
are more or less overfown. They are running
boats through second street in Ottumwa. Every
house in the beautiful town Of Eddyyille is in or
under water Red Rock, Amsterdam, and Dud-
ky are literally washed away. All of the busi-
ness part Of Fort Des Moines is under water
Every store in the place, the post-office, both
printing Offices, and the GROCERY all go by wa
ter. The Des Moines is reported nine feet high
er than It was two years ago. 1t is reported,
too, that one of the government dams has been
seen on its winding way to the Mississippi.
