FLooD AT THE WEST BY mail and tele-

tive Use Of waters on the Mississippi. The
s.. Louis Republican of May 81, has The fol-
lowing:-

rivers ar gloomy enough. The water is spread
ing over vast sections Of country, and great
damage has been done all along tie TO ders Of

The Gaena Advertiser of the 2Sth notices
the arrival of the steamer Enterprise from Wis
cunsin river. The river was reported very high
ia large portion of Fort Wnnebago was in
undated. TINS rise had only then reached the
Mississippi. Heavy rains fell on Sunday, which
added 10 the Hood.
On the arrival Of the Enterpris, at Dubuque,
she was chartered to 90 up to the Little Maquo-
quota, to assist in saving 400 barrels of -four,
afloat in the warehouse OF Sage s. Co, at Pee
RI, a few miles back of Dubuque; but the cur
rent was so strong that SIZE could not ascend the
river. The mills, owned by the same firm, are
said also to have been swept away, as also the
bridge at that place.
The DR.. Franklip, at Galena from St. Paul,
reported all the rivers above still rising.
The Burlington Qowa} Gazette, of the 2Sth,
says that the tributaries of The NJ ssissippi in

Uj|The .lcp York Hcraid contains, now
and then, an article which the interchangeable
Editor Of that remarkable journal calls Politi-
cal Intelligence" in which he gives a brief
synopsis Of the aspect Of affairs in other States.
The last erpose of this character is as follows -
Political Intelligence.
VERMoNr.-Thc Democratic State Conven-
ton passed a series of resolutions strongly
favorable to the compromise measures which il
considers a pledge of the fidelity of the several
States to each other, and which should be OBJ
served by all with the obedience which is due
to the nations will, and with that good faith
which is requisite for the nations safety If
the party in the State has preference for
candidate for the Presidency it will zealousy
support the nominee of the National Conyen-
ton. The Montpelier Patriot, the leading de-
mocratic paper in the State, opposes the Fugi-
tive Slave law, and says it is unconstitutional
and outrageous that any man should be arrested
and returned to slavery without the benefit of
trial by jury. The whole whig press of the
State opposes the compromise measures and
the Burlington Free Press, the State organ of
the whig party, is very violent in Its opposition
declaring that such measures should not be al
lowed 10 stand upon the statute book The
free soil party has nominated Lucius b. Peck
for Governor, and will contest the election.
That the Freesoil party will "contest the
election" till after the first Tuesday in Sep
tcmber, is quite likely, and that they have nom
mated our friend lUcIus b. PECK, and that
that worthy and estmable gentleman has not
get declined the questionable honor, we are sor-
ry to admit mot because there is the remotest
possibility that Mr.. PICKS nomination can
because we are really sorry to see a man like
him. who has represented his District in Con
gress, and is every way most respectable and
generally judicious citizen, and who must look
upon the existing Barberilod Frc5-democracy,

UF"For little more than two weeks past
we have been absent from our post, and cannot
resumed our editorial abors without EXPRESSING
our obligations 10 the friend to whom we ell
trusted the management of our columns, DURING

couple of disconnected Poets, (who are proven.
oIally a captious race,) whose illusions have
invited us hum" in the last two numbers of
our Daily, we should say that our readers, uni
versally, have had 10 occasioned 10 complain OF

crowded with visitors on that glorious day, and
we know that they will receive a most cordial

taken this matter in hand, and they know no
such word as "fai" The Fire Companies of
Vergcnncs and Middcbury will be with us, to-
gether with the rank and file Of the neighbor-
ing towns. and there need be no fear that the
YOUNG Men of Burlington will receive them
with hearty welcome and boundless hospitals
