WIsE.-A Washington correspondent of the 3

nounees that Gen. Scott has explicitly avowed
his determination not to be candidate for any
political Office hereafter. We should think his
experience in the recent campaign would greatly
favor such conclusion on his part. 1t would be
perfectly satisfactory to most men, and probably
is to him. E-e 5sa= "a -slr-S

"to provide for the better organization of the
State Treasury, and for the collection, safe keep

Prospectus of the Ohio Statesman:
DAILY, sEMI-wEEKLY AND WEEKLY.
S. MEDARY AND J. H. SMITH.

The time is again come for the publication of
our annual proposals, many of our present sub
scriptions bieng about to expire.
1t is not necessary to remark at length upon
the value of Democratic newspaper, published
at the capital of Ohio Nor need we say more as
to what the Ohio Statesman will be in future,
than that it will be what it has been in the past,
with such improvements in all rerpects our long
experience may suggest. ..-s-.. Es, .-s.-- - ..
Great changes have taken place in our politi-
cal history. A Whig administration has just been
voted out of power, and Democratic admins
tration been voted in. The unparalleled majori-
ty of the American people, who have joined in this
decree, shows of itself that vast changes are ex-
pected by the the people in the political world
New times are upon US. The ensuing four years
are expected to be critical As ever, the people
have decided with startling emphasis that the ma
ton shall be under Democratic Pilotage.
/ At such time the Statesman becomes of more
importance to the Democracy of Ohio, than ever.
There are many troublesome questions in our For
eign Relations for the Administration of Frank
in Pierce to solve and settle. The people will
desire to be kept advised upon all such matters,
they progress, and Of course it will become our
duty to devote large share of attention to their
discussion.
In domestic politics, both National and State,
it is the universal expectation that the times ahead
are 1ull OF sClrrlng interest ana DuSy movement
All departments of the Government are in the
hands Of the Progressive Democratic Party
Under the impulse of that party there will be no
idleness in our affairs; all must be activity. The
patrons of the Statesman know without specific
assurances from US, where it will be at such time
We are henceforth compelled to look to our
friends throughout the State, for support. All Of
fetal patronage has been stripped away from pa
pers at the capitol. Unlike almost every other
State in our Union, our victories in this State,
though always expected to be fought for by the
press, barren to the victorious as to the de-
feated We are therefore forced to appeal to our
Democratic friends. Our only reliance is upon
an extensive circulation of our papers. Daily,
semi-Weekly andEWeekly. If Democrats de-
sire us to be repaid for our labors and expenses,
it is for them to say the word.
In supporting the candidates and defending the
measures of the Democratic party, hereafter, we
cannot depend upon party success for replacing
the necessary pecuniary oulays of our establish
ment. We design to mingle as actively as ever
in the future party stries of the State, but our
friends will easily understand that we cannot do
SO, without a'general and increased support from
their hands. ~ RA

GI Gen. Lane, the Delegate from Oregon
Territory, has introduced resolution into the
House of Representatives, in Congress, which was
referred to the Committee on Territories, relating
to Division of Oregon into two Territories
All south of the Columbia line, to form new
Territory, to be called Columbia.
This is an important movement, and will 60
far to strengthen the power of our Government
on the Pacific coast. We hope Congress will
favor the views of the Representative from that
Territory. No one can know better than Gene-
raj Lane the value of such division for the early
settlement and national strength of that country.
That there should be four States bordering on the
Pacific, instead of two, was our opinion and wish
from the first, as matter of national importance,
as we'll as calculated to benefit the Pacific country
itself.

We hope cur Democratic friends will bear in

choose four Delegates to attend the State Conven-

urer of State, Attorney General, and Member of

Mr. Riddle, of Hamilton, offered the following
preamble and resolutions, in the Senate, On the
l7th instant: . s<t ,ts
Whereas, the voters of the State of Ohio, by the
adoption of the new Constitution, have decided
against the admission of people of color to the
rights of citizenship in the State;
And whereas, a portion of the colored people

five years since, and has been acknowledged as
such by France, England. Beginm, Prussia, and
Brazil;
And whereas, it is desired by the eolored peo-

Therefore, Resolved, By the General Assembly

Disastrous Hurricane ON the medi-

Extract of letter from Gaines, American Con-
sui at Tripoli to Mr.. Winthrop, American Com
sui at Malta
TRIPoL1, Oct 81, 1852.
81 have only time to send you few lines By
this opportunity, to inform you of the terrible dis
aster which has recently occurred to the shipping
of this port On Tuesday night, the 10Th, it
came on to blow heavy gale of wind, which con-
tnued to increase in violence throughout the
night, and the following day, and reached its eli
max about midnight on Wednesday, the 20th.-
There were in the harbor at the time twenty-tr
vessels, besides five xebecks; of this number l6
of the vessels, and all of the xebecks dragged
their anchors, came ashore, and went to pieces.
They will all be total wrecks; it is thought most
of them have already broken up. Besides the
vessels lost in the port, we have heard of seven
others that are wrecked along the coast, not far
from here. The Maltese brig Giannina went
ashore at Tajourna Point; the crew and passen-
gers all saved. Another Maltese frigatc, Ga sper-
onara,) went ashore near Sleaton, and is a total
wreck. A Turkish brig, on its wav to this place
from Tunis, was wrecked to the west of Tripol
large number of passengers (chiefy Mussulnen)
and rich cargo, much of it in money OF the
passengers, about, fifty reported as lost, and
the Arabs pillaged every particle of the car o,
not even sparing the baracans which covered the
bodies of the dead. The Governor General has
sent large force to capture the ringleaders in
this disgracefur affair, and to force the tribe to
to which these robbers belong to restore the prop
erty stolen, or pay down its value. I am glad to
say that our new Governor General has acted
with much energy in the trying circumstances by
which he was beset, having given every assist
ance to the foreign Consuls in attempting to save
the cargoes of the vessels belonging to their re-
spective nations, besides doing all that he could
to prevent pillage, and to aid the owners of Tur-
kish vessels to save their property Some eight
or nine lives were lost in the harbor In addition
to the damage which the shipping has sustained,
much injury has been done in the country by the
mountain torrents, and great number of date
and olive trees have been blown down in the gar
dens around the CITY. have given you all the
main particulars of the hurricane, and you will
be able to gather the details from persons going
to Malta by the war schooner which is to sail to-
morrow. Ever yours, most truly,
M GAINES.
A letter from an officer on board the U. s. sloop
of war ST. Louis, says that vessel, D. N. Ingra-
ham, commander, bound from Tunis to TripoH,
encoutered the gale when off the coast of Tripoli,
and was one of the few vessels that survived it.

OBJECT OF THE REVOLUTION IN Sonora The
French Courier, published in New York, speaks
of Bourbon, who is reported to have "annexed'
Sonora to France, as mere adventurer, for whose
acts the French Government is not responsible.
The N. Y. Times, on the contrary, says:
"We happen to be in possession of some i'm
portant documents in regard to this matter-show-
ing the interest taken by France in the progress
of our country westward, and the steps already
taken in pursuance of a grand design to check
that progress, and to erect a barrier against our
further growth. We have reason to believe that
the great object of planting these French settle
ments in Northern Mexico is to prevent the United
States from acquiring feasible route for railroad
to the Pacific"

Twelve Tons Gold in one ship.

Advices have been received in England FROM
Australia, that the ship Dido, is on her way, and1
soon to arrive in London, from that country, hav-
ing on board the extraordinary amount of 28o 900
ounces or 1882 pounds, troy weight, or equal
(at 1000 pounds to the ton) to nearly tsoere tons
Gold dust. The Australian Gold coin $40 to the
ounce, and the U. s. Mint value of this shipment,
therefore, is five millions six hundred thousand
dollars; the largest sum we remember ever toI
have seen reported on single vessel. In 1850,
when we had only monthly packets from Calfor-
MIA, the steamship Philadelphia arrived at this
port, in July, we believe with,nearly three mill
ions Gold Dust on board, and recently, one of
the West India steamers carried to London, in
Silver and Gold, about So, ,15o, ,Ooo.s
The actual production of the precious metal of
this new and wonderful gold field has thus far
proved fully up to the widest calculations enter
ed into last spring. The ascertained yield of the
Melbourne Mines to the 3lst of July amounted to
SO tons weight, or in exact Federal value to 25,-
3l2, 800 dollars !! And at the Sidney Mines, to
twelve and half millions dollars A further
sum of five millions dollars is set down to Ade-
laide, South Australia, though taken thence, for
the mosi part, by miners from the Melbourne dis
trict. The aggregate therefore, stands thus:

Conspiracy i'm Hungary.
The Vienna correspondent of the Londo

The Vienna correspondent of the London
although there is military force in Hungary
Ito put down general revolution, individuals are
not wanting who are mad enough to contemplate
the overthrow the present order of things. So pro-
found is the secrecy observed concerning every
thing which might induce the world to believe
that the revolutionary spirit is not laid in Hunga-
ry, that the subjoined account of conspiracy
which has been discovered at Pesth, as as little
known to the inhabitants of this city as to the an
tipodes. .-a-'
How the government got wind of what was 60
ing on, is unknown to me, but certain it is that
from fifty to sixty persons, some of whom belong
to the higher classes of society, were not long
ago arrested. These individuals are accused of
having kept up an artificial excitement by means
of their inferior agents, who rendered both high.
ways and byways insecure. 1t is also said that
an attempt was to have been made on the life of a
high parsonage residing at Pesth, but this is in all
probability base calumny.
Among the persons now in the hands of the
military authorities, is Countess B. This
relation will naturally appear singularly meagre
and unsatisfactory; but neither the British nor the
Austrian public is likely to know anything more
of the matter until the sentences of the delin-
quents appear some years hence in the Wiener
Zeitung. While this government is considering
how foreigners (Germans) can be induced to come
as colonists to Hungary, the Hungarians, Bohe-
mians and Upper Austrians are looking to emf
crate to America.
The desire to breathe freer air is so generally
felt, that if it were not next to impossible to get
passports for foreign countries, the dminution of
the population would show people in office
how hateful the present system is to the nation.
Public agencies for the promotion of emigration
have just been prohibited by the minister of the
home department, but this is evidently superfu-
GUS in a country where permission to emigrate
must be procured from half dozen different an-
thorties."
