RIVAL STEAMBOATS, on THE HUDSON 1T is a re
markable evidence Of the recklessnes and obstinacy
Of the owners, captains and employees of steam
boats plying between New York and Albany, that
the terrible tragedy of the Henry Clay, which has
so recently sent shuddcr throughout the Union,
has not been able to make any impression upon
them, or caused them to discontinue the murderous
practice which in that Gaze resulted in the horrible
death of fourscore persons. II is hardly credi
ble-and yet it is fact-that the same criminal
competition still exists, undimnished by the warn
ing which the recent catastrophe so loudly utters;
and that at pre- sent the insane rivalry to be first in
the race is just strong and exposes the passengers
who may have had the hafdhood to venture their
lives on board to the dangers as prior to that
deporable event. We published, in Saturday Err
AID, a statement from gentleman, who, on the
previous day, was passenger on board the Aida.
when one Of these exciting races took place between
that boat and the Francis Skiddy, which was con-
Quoted with the same reckless disregard Of conse-
quences as has all along distinguished these con-
tests At one period of the struggle collision be-
tween the two boats took place, but without caus-
ing much damage to the boats, or any destruction of
human life; and at another, Of them was Gro wd-
ed in by her antagonist till she came in contact
with the pier at Newburg, carrying away her guard
timbers and sustaining other injuries
Another circumstance, in connection with this
racing, shows how utterly apathetic, and proof
against proper feeling, the practice has made all
connected with it. While the Coroner was still hold
ing nquests at Yonkers on the bodies of the unfor
tunate victims Of the Henry Clay disaster, these
boats steamed past the spot at their utmost
speed, striving against each other, and without
showing any signal or mark Of respect for tho
dead who lay there sacrificed to this insane
passion. IT is customary with boats sailing
by Mount Vernon, on the Potomac river,
where the ashes of Washington repose, to slscken
their speed, and pass slowly by, with their bells toll
ing, as a tribute Of respect to his memory But
here in this instance, the spot where lay the corpses
of seventy victims-hurled into eternity in man
ner which makes the blood run cold to think Of
received no passing recognition or salute from the
boats which participated in the crime through
which these lvss were sasrife%d. This is suasept

AN OPnuoN.-The New York 1inies5 in some re-
marks on the recent Pitsburg nomination, expresses
an opinion that the influence of that convention and
nomination will rjure the prospects of Gen. Pierce
than those of Gen Scott, in the ensuing Pfesi
dental election In rejecting on the same matter,
we have heretofore come to a different conclusion;
but as We have no great confidence in the opinion
which we have uttered on the subject, and as the
question is somewhat important, and dsbateabe,
We should like to know the precise reasons and
grounds that have Influenced eur contemporary in
arriving at such conclusion us that the Pittsburg
convention and nomination win help Gen. Scott
more than Gen. Pierce, in the ensuing election. We
are not sure that the Times is lot more than half
right; but should like to the reasons stated
explicitly.

Tar ELECTION OF Col BENTON TO Cosesrss.

TIE ELECTION OF Col BENTON TO CONGRESS-
There appears to be doubt of the election Of COL
Benton to the House Of Representatives, from the
First Congressional district Of Missouri, although
opposed BY Lewis V Bogy, another democrat, and
Samuel Caruthers, he whig candidate. To beat
either was doing pretty well, when We consider the
bitter hostility Of the small Try politicians Of Mis-
souri, to sold Bullion but to beat them both
wss certainly great triumph The result is at
tributabe to the superior abilities, tact, talents,
and indomitable energy and resolution Of Col Ben
ton and TO the good of the independent voters
who preferred the experienced statesman to any
second rate county court pot house politician.
We consider the result great victory Of sound
popular opinion the malicious intrigues of
principled demagogues, and the election Of Col
Benton matter Of general congatulation, not only
to the honest people Of Missouri but of the whole
country. The House Of Representatives,, at Wash
ington. is an assemblagc Of very ordinary men, in
point of talents learning, legislative experience,
and capacities There is scarcely of mark
among them. The general staple of the estab
ishment must be rather commonplace when such
man as Joshua r. Giddings ranks among the abest
members ofthe body Probably this is owing TO the
fact that the old set public has pretty much
died ot-that set to which Calhoun, Clay, McDulie,
and host Of others belonged and of which Webster,
Benton, and one or two others, are the only repre-
sentatiyes remaining and that in the meantime the
new set have not yet become thoroughly ripe When
they do rpen they may show that the day Of great
statesmen and politicians has not yet passed away.
But, constituted the House is, almost entirely
Of green and inexperienced men, the presence Of such
q man as Benton among them is godsend to tho in
terests Of the public. They want Just such man in
the House, TO hold tight the huckstoring
politicians Of both parties the little petty trimners
and log rollers Of stock obbng land bills, printing
jobs, Galphin jobs and other private speculations,
and swindling eSpedents upon the public treasury.
Benton, among those chaps, win hold the position
Of a resoute old scboolmaster gang Of lisor-
derby boys Besides, his great abilities, and his
Learning and experience in government affairs, will
be much added TO the character Of the House.
His age and public services viii command respect,
and his superior talents, and general knowledgeas
debater, will excite the honorable emulation Of the
younger members.
We therefore, consider the election Of Col Ben
ton great public TRIUMPH triumph of the
statesman over little tinkering and tricky poll
tciansand that his election fills desideratun in
the House, and will result decidedly to the advan-
tage Of the public treasury. Benton win make the
fur fly next Congress.

TIE RECENT PITTsBURG FARCE TROUBLE AMONG
THE ABoIITIoNIsTs.--The proceedings of the re-
cent amusing convention ut Pittsburg, the eonstruc
tion of their everlasting platform, and the nomina
ton Of such terrible joker MS John r. Hale, OF
the U. S Senate, for their candidate, are beginning
10 create good deal Of trouble and discomfort
among the serious and sublimated portion Of the
anti. slavery faction in this State, and partly in
New England. We learn from Pittsburg, that Ger
rt Smith-a white man, from this State, and re-
spectacle white man, too-and Fred. Douglass,
black man, and very impudent black man, too
have formed an amalgam, comprehending the seri-
portion of the anti slavery forces with deter
minaton to break off from Gddings and his policy,
in the nomination of Hale and the construction OF
the recent platform. It will be reeolected that
previous to the calling of the Pittsburg con-
vention, Gerrit Smith and his cologed man, Doug
lass had also called convention for the fr,t
of September, at Buffalo. This call has never
been repudisted or given up. The liberty men, Of
whom Smith, Douglass and Garrison are the chief
leaders-to say nothing of the womcn--are very
much dissatisfied with the platform, and the PRIV
ciples passed upon by the Pittsburg convention.
and especially with the nomination Of John Z. Hale,
who has refused to accept it, and who, probably, in
the Dar-rooms al asnlngton mas areauy Cracked
many good jokes upon it, and upon all concerned
therein. This portion Of the anti-slavery forces
viii still hold its convention at Buffalo, the first
of September; and at this convention they will pro-
badly repudiate the nomination and platform of the
Pittsburg convention, and nominate ticket
and construct a new platform of their own. We
should not be surprised to novel doings ia
this convention, and we would suggest to them that
they should at nominate Garrison for President,
and Fred Douglass for Vice President, and thus
give us amalgamation ticket ut once.
The truth Of the matter is, that the anti slavery
forces of the North, under the action OF the two
Baltimore conventions, are rapidly returning to
their original elements, and their original strength
of 1910 and 1874. The adoption Of high national
principles, by the two conventions at Baltimore
whg and democrat-in relation to slavery, have
already quoted and senced, to extraordinary
extent, the secession party Of the South; and we
ore already beginning to see the operation of the
same conventions on the ultra portion Of the aboi-
tionists Of the North, in the recent explosion at
PittsbuTg and the bringing up of their forlon hope
as Buffalo, on the first of next month.
