SUPPOSED News OF Sir J. FRANKLTN-
An extra published bv the Colombo Obser.
yer, contains, under date, Singapore, JAM
uary 6, the tolowing:-
81 have II in my power this month to
give YOU laier information Gt the search
which is being prosecuted for the recovery
OF Sir J. Franklin and his party, than even
The Admiralty itself is yet possessed. Her
Maiesly's surveying ship Herald arrived
here from the Atcilc regions, via the Sand
wich Islands and Hong Kong. during the
last week, and she has the latest accounts
from the far North. Near the extreme
stations of the Russian fur company they
learned from the natives that party OF
white men had been enramped 3OO or 4OO
miles inland that the Russians had made
an attempt TO supply them with provisions
and necessaries, but that the natives, who
are a, enmily with the Russians had lrus-
trated all attempts.
No communication could be opened with
the spot where they were SAID 10 be
as a hostile tribe inervened. From the t.S
auimaux they had this vause story ve'y sa'
,isioctorlly confirmed. with the addition
that the whites and natives having quarrel
led the former had been murdered. As TO
the possibility Of these unlortunales being
Sir John FrankIin's party ! leave you and
| YOUR readers who have paid attention 10
the case in all its bearings to judge
Whether these men spoken Of were or were
not Sir Johns company. little hopes can
now be entertained of finding them alive,
as their provisions must have been eSpend
ed one wear; and their fuel which is neces
sary, must have all been burned out Two
years Since"

isvllle Journal says:
1t is perfectly absurd for any traitors to
look to Kentucky for any countenance in
their unrighleous proceedings. There is
not a State in the Union in which holy
love of the Union is more !crvent and more
general than il is in Kentucky. The
traitors o! the North, and the traitors OF the
South. are alike scurned within her bor-
dets. Neither does she stand unsupported

firmly and immovablv by the Union. The

10 the Union. and if treason in any section
of our confederacy shall ever show is vI-

chuseits, and has had its influence on the
election of members OF the Legislature in
New York, Ohio, and New Jersey, which
will probably have the effect Of changing
the character Of the representation in the
United States Senate from each Of these
States. Delaware and Rhode Island. which
have so long been represented by wings in
the Senate, have now each chosen dem>
orralic Senator. but the result in both cases
was effected by local causes. or dissensons
in the whig ranks in those States. We can
perceive no causes now in existence witch
are likely to continue mich longer the or
canZation OF the old national parties OF
Wing and democrat, and the contests be
tween them nt National, State and minor
elections. There are no great questions Of
public policy now in agitation. or in pro-
rress, OF sufficient strength 10 enable lPac-
ing politicians to keep the people divided
into the two great parties, as AT present or
canized and known by their respective
names. The old party machinery is EVIL
den,ly worn out, and growing into dis!avor
with the people; 1t must. like broken crock
erv. be soon thrown aside. Office holders
and Office seekers will doubtless struggle to
keep up party names and party organ'za-
ton for their own selfish purposes. and the
prestige of the name of democracy may
enable party leaders to perpetuate the or
canza,ion Of the democratic party. as it is
probable tina, in a republic like oars, that
portion of the people holding the most ra-
dical views and notions. will cling to that
popular designation. But there is no pros

old party organizations. nor can they be
