A Challenge to the World.

population Of the whole world, TO produce am
example in the English languagc, but that he
will, 10y these ten rules without an exception
parse to the satisfaction Of any candid mind
The following are ms rules, based upon the
philosophical relations of the words of our Ian
guage, VIZ:
lst A noun or prohnun signfying possession
is used to denote the possessor and point out the
thing possessed.
2d. The subject Of verb Is always its agent.
30. The verb must agree with its agent in
number and person,
4th. The relation Of a transitiye verb, prepo
sitlon, or any other word, terminates on lis OBJ
leot.
5th IN adjective belongs to the word it points
out or describes.
9th. An adyeTb belongs to the word it modi

verb, noun or adjective.

The Free Soil Platform.

The platform adopted by the Free Soil State
Convention, at Montpelier, is the most remarka-
Bile specimen of consistency and rhetorical adrolt-
ness, 1t has ever been our fortune to meet with
he strong denunciation of Pierce, and the
eloquent eulogium upon Rantoul, who supports
Pierce, are particularly felicitous Its assertion
that the wings have ''yielded all the old issues >
and there has ceased to be any difference in prin-
ciples and measures, between the Wings and
Democrats" IS worthy Of Baron Muuchausen and
will command as universal credence Those
truly original and beautiful expressions, about
the +" car of Slavery slave hunters" and being
bound and gagged and polluted at the feet Of
the slave power" roll off mellifuously from the
lips OF one who supported James X. Polk, the
annexation Of the slave state of Texas, and the
Mexican War waged to extend the area of sa-
very. There is shown in all this an admirable
versatility Of talent and-principle. Mr. Barber
has greatly increased his former reputation by
this last producton-wonderful alike in length
and depth, in quality and quantity. 1t would do
honor 10 the pen of Parker Pllsbury.-.u.ddie-
bury Rtgsas.

The Coming Elections.

Kentucky and Tennessee hold No State O.
lection this year Indiana and Illinois none ull
late in the autumn. That of Illinois has been
removed by her Constitutional Amendments
from August TO the first Tuesday in November,
when Presidential Electors and State Officers
will be chosen on the samr day; TINT of Indiana
has been likewise changed from August TO the
second Monday in October
The only States voting IN August. therefore
are Alabama, Iowa, Missouri aud North Carroll
ma; every one having now Opposition Cover
nors and Legislatures. None of them but North
Carolina ever elected Wing Governor or
clear Wing Legislature. In North Carolina,
ID 5 Reid, the present Governor, came within
a votes OF an election IN lois, though Taylor
carried the State in November following BY st5O
majority. In 1880, Reid was elected over Man
lytWhigl by 277i majority, carrying a Legisla-
tive Opposition by II majority. We hope he
may now be beaten but do not feel sure of il
lie Is skiliul electioneerer, aud will run far
ahead Of General Pierce, though John Kerr the
Wing candidate, is a fair man But Reid has a
great advantage on a local issue, and wall make
the most of II.
Our adsices justify the hope of favorable
indcato IS from Iowa, though the Wing vote
there IN August will not come within thousands
Of Gen SCOTS in November. Missouri Will 90

Third District.---Fun Ahead.

Las, week we chronced the nomination of
Avian SABiN, as the Wing candidate for Con.
cress and an excellent nomination il was, and
altogether Fl, for the Wings to make. Under
any circumstances we believe his election pretty
certain, although the District has not been quite
Wing Of late but under the extraordinary CIR
cumstanccs which have Just occurred, the wings
ought to be ashamed of themselves if they do
not carry in the good elder handsomely.

Mogul Of the little Hunker tribe IN Vermont
In consideration Of this pledge Of due subser-
viency to King g. Pierce in general, and ID. A..
Smalley in particular, Smaley in his great
clcmency promised that Rowell should have the
nomination; and Rowell doubtless trusted that
his own works Of supererogation IN past times
for the Liberty party would secure the same
grace from that wing. But alas when Small

TERRIBLE DISASTER !
BTrRNLN'G or THE HE.NRY CL.8I-
SETE.NT'T In rs LOST!

We have 10 record the mort distressing and
the most nexcusable disaster that has ever oc-
Cured on Northern waters. On Wednesday
morning last, the steamers Henry Clay and Ar
menia left Albaay for New York full of passen-
gers, and raced all the way to Kingston. The
Henry Clay became so heated as to take fire a.
mid-ship, around the boilers. and was run ashore
head on, leaving the cabins far out in the river)
and in consequence not less than SEVENTY Hu.
MAN LIVES WE'RE LOST. Among the lost was
an estmable lady Of our own village the wife Of
Stoddard y. Colby Esq, and daughter of Judge
Proctor of Cavendish-and also the wife Of Gen.
Mechanics Of Rutland lasting sorrow is
thus sent to the hearts Of thousands and all the
deeper and the more poignant because it is the
result of criminal reckessness. scarcely differing
in enormity from wilful murder. J.W. Ellis and
wife and sister, of this village, were also on
board OF the steamer and in great peril but for
iunutely escaped.
w hat shall be the remedy for rccklessness like
this? Congress will doubtless enact severe
law but the only sure remedy is with he peop'e.
Let The people determine, and rigidy carry it out,
to trust themselves neither upon any boat on the
North river nor upon any car Of the Hudson riv-
err Railroad Company, until the racing of the
boats, and the dangerous rate Of running of the
railroad trains, is stopped. If the boats and rail
road will compete, let them do it without pas
sengers. Within week of the catastrophe Of
the steamer, railroad train was plunged into the
deep water Of the river and a couple of hundred
of passengers narrowly escaped watery grave
People in this section Of country can avoid both
the Hudson River Railroad and the racing boats
by taking the Connecticut river route to New
York, or by going by the way either Of VVorces
ter or Boston. Let it he DONE until a tolcrablc
degree of safety Is secured on the other routes
We add some of the details, as follows.

TAE GREAT CONVENTION.

thousand in number, others say one hundred and
fifty thousand Certain it is that every part of
the country was representative great middle

a large number of Democrats, who have taken
the field for the old hero. The officers and sol

can war, we're there in great numbers, and mill
tary companies, with full ranks, from New York,
Ohio, and gallant and glorious Kentucky, too,

that more enthusiasm and stronger confidence Of

She was run on almost perpendcuarly to the

bystanders were driven by the flames into the
