sengers, and Mr. g. hailing the mate, entreated
him to save the boy at least The mate sue
ceeded in reaching the rope and taking the child
from the arms OF the true man who held him,
placed him in the boat and he was saved. The
next boat took off the Illinois gentleman and the
rest. The boy it is thought was with his un-
Gle, who was lost and has parents in Massachu-
sets. He is now with his preserver, probably
in Cleveland
Mrs Miller and two other ladies saved from
the wreck of the Atlantic, ascribe their safety
to the prompt and fearless efforts OF Mr.. l.. ID.
Crippen, of Michigan, in their behalf Two Of
the ladies he rescued from the water, and the
third was unable to escape from her state room
until at the expense Of several wounds upon his
hands and feet, he broke in the windows,and aid
ed her escape
One Young lady who was saved, jumped from
the wreck into the water. She was drowning;
when powerful man, supposed to be an emf
grant, who was evidently unable to swim, sez-
ed piece of plank and plunged overheard, made
towards her and catching her by the hair held
her up above the water. He managed by i'm
mense exertion, to reach the side of the boat,
having the young lady in one hand and the plank
in the other rope was thrown to him, but
he could not avail himself of it, and continued
in the same position until some of the hands Of
the boat succeeded in reaching the female and
pulling her on the deck. BY that time the poor
fellows strength was entirely exhausted and he
sank to rise no more
The porter of the boat got bureau from the
Captains cabin, which he empted and cast into
the lake. He jumped on to it and got some 20
or 80 persons aboard,when telling them to stick
to it and they would be saved, he swan for his
life and got safely to the Propeller.
1t is due to Capt. Petty that we should state
the version Of his conduct given by his friends
in this city. They represent that when he found
the boat sinking, he prepared the life boat for
the passengers security. In getting out the
boat Capt Petty fell and was severely injured
on the head and that from the injury thus re-
ceived he is now lying very i'll at Buffalo. Re-
sponsible men and those worthy of credit state
it as their firm belief, that Capt. Petty did his
whole duty up to the moment in which he re-
ceived his injury. The fall of the Capt. render
ed him wholly nsensible for considerable time.
When he recovered he may have been unfit for
business. There is this in the character of Capt.
Petty; he is sailor, bred to his profession and
has been deemed thoroughly qualified. We had
formed a favorable impression Of the man from
personal acquaintance
BE the facts what they may, the public re-
quire that they should be fully exhibited. The
officers in charge should not be hastily judged
or condemned without good reason; and on the
other hand, no consideration should screen them
from merited punishment for neglect to do their
duty. The lives of passengers were in their
hands, the public have therefore right to know
all the facts of the case, that conclusion may
be reached which shall enable us to be just TO

New RALRoAD.-Our Milwaukee friends are
wide awake to their own interest in having a
railway connexion with Chicago at the earliest
possible moment. Our own city has no little
interest in this matter. as we are well aware of
the advantages to accrue to Detroit from rail-
road to link us with Milwaukee at all seasons.

important undertaking, their Lake shore rail-

The Democratic Review, in contrasting the
fitness of the two nominees for the highest civil
post in the world, says:
The one, IN aged veteran, soldier by pro-
fession and military instincts, utterly unfamiliar
with Legislative duties, and ignorant of the pop
ular needs-of a temper naturally despotic, and
confirmed in its faults by nearly fifteen years Of
undisputed COMMUNICATIONS of any merit
which approaches too near his own rank and
positon-oDly safe as superior officer, when
conciliated by cautious Difference, or fattered
by blind admiration-or served with slavish
zeal.
The other young statesman in the fullness
of manhood's meridian power occupying at
present no position which could give rise even
to the suspicion of undue influence over the act,
opinion, or language of single voter-a pub
lie man only at the desire of his fellow citizens,
"a soldier only when danger menaced his coun-
try. Thoroughly educated, civilian, pro-
gressive democrat from the start, the breath of
popular rights has nourished his craftsmanship
from his schoo-boy days. At once the pupil.
the friend and adviser, defender and companion
of the people-such is Frank Pierce, the NOM
inee of the democratic party for the next four.
years.

The Congressional Convention which
assembled at Kalamazoo on Wednesday last
nominated Hon. SAMUEL CLARK Of that place.
a candidate for Representative for this district
Mr.. CLARK is a gentleman, in every particular
worthy the distinction which the harmonious ac-
ton of the Convention has bestowed upon him,
and we congratulate the democracy of the Bird
district upon the fattering auspices with which
we can enter upon the Congressional canvass
under the leadership of tried and true demo.
crat, ripe Scholar an able lawyer, an honest
man, and worthy successor of our present able
Representative, Mr.. STUART.
Yet, while we can 60 into the canvass with a
whole heart and determined zeal for success
full issue, under Mr.. CLARK, we cannot fail TO
express our regrets at the failure of Mr.. CHURCH
in obtaining the nomination., which pre-eminent
abilities, answering democratic principles, and
the rights Of this part of the district demanded,
and was justly claimed at the hands of the Con-
vention. But glorious defeat was that which
Mr. Church sustained. The 45th ballot which
nominated Mr.. Clark, stood Clark 10, Church l6,

honored the Convention with speech, in which,
says the Kalamazoo Gazette: "He enjoined up
on all his friends, and upon all Democrats in the
District, to support the nominee with all the en-
ergy and zeal that they would had he been their
nearest and dearest friend-and to look upon
the nomination in no other light than that it
was the best which possibly could be made"
r-S5@ We notice in the Grand Rapids Enqui-
rer an article making some very singular state
ments with regard to political and religious mat
tiers in the Holland Colony. We are surprised
at the statements made. Many of the persons
at whom the vague shadowy charges and insin-
uations are aimed, are now considered worthy
men. We think justice, demands more expi-
cit statement of this matter, and that the author
ity be given. Justice to the public, and to the
Colony if the charges are true, and justice to
those injured if they are false and slanderous.
The authority of self styled intelligent
Hollander" is hardly sufficient, without other
and better authority to justify the publication of
such an article in a paper circulating so widely
as the Enquirer. We would like more inform
alton on this subject.

CoNJUGAL AFFECTIoN-The recent decease
of the Hon. Robert Rantoul, one ofthe most elo-
quent and accomplished members of Congress,
brought out two tributes of his memory--one
from Mr.. Sumner, in the Senate, the other from
Horace Mann, in the House-that have never
been surpassed in the National legislature, Ell
Their for eloquence or good taste. In the euo-
gy by Mr.. Mann, that gentleman related the
following touching instance of conjuga affec-
ton with the last illness of the deceased:
"Iet Mr.. Rantou even amid the agonies of
his disease, had lucid intervals. There were
convictions in his mind so deep-seated and af-
fections in his heart so strong, as to stand un-
moved by any tempest of deirium. On being
telegraphed respecting the illness of her hus-
band his devoted and excellent lady, then in
Massachusetts, fastened to his succor. She
arrived here at six o'clock on the morning Of
the day he died. Instantly her voice wooed
back consciousness and reason. He seized her,
hand in his and held it till he breathed his last.
Even when his mind wandered, this grasp of
affection was unclenched Death only relaxed it.
The swelling of the disease had closed his
eye, and it was beyond the power of muscular
contraction to open them. He desired to have
them opened by mechanical means, that he
might once more behold the features and the
face whence, for more than twenty years, the
light of love had shone down into his heart
Thank God, sir that, amid all the alterations
and sIrifes and hostilities which seem some
times to flow out Of the human bosom as tho
it were their natural fountain, there are also af-
fections, sympathies, tendernesses and loves
which are inseparable from it |; allied to it by a
more congenal affinity; and which we always
may find there, "close as green to the verdant
leaf, or color to the rose."

! THE pREs1DEN7vs .uEssaGE

The breyity Of this customary annual docu-
idea Of synopsis unnecessary. There can be
no comment upon, as there needs no summary
Of, the mere synopsis of the reports of the de-
partments, hereafter to be presented
We can not, however, forbear to notice the re-
markable contrast between the first and con-
cluding portions Of the message. OF the former
we dislike to speak, whilst of the last we can
freely say that they present wise and states
manlke views. Sympathizing thoroughly with
j the administration Of President Fillmore in
questions of domestic policy and of domestic ma
tionality, We, yet, reserve to ourself freeman's
privilege, and must question some things in con-
nection with the Presidents declarations Of for.
eign policy.
IN this, we can not recognize that performance
hasstood abreast with promise, or act with re-
QUESTION. In this we can not, with all our DO
Atlcal sympathies, forget the American in the
partisan, or fail to declare that our own feelings
urge more strongly, and our own conEictions
claim more largely than those announced by an
administration we have just reason, in many
matters, to respect We are, neither by incli-
nation nor interest, captious or critical in the
premises
But, we must say one or two things, in the
plain speech of American manhood In refer
ence to some foreign questions, the message
strikes us as SO apologetic and explanatory as to
amount to total surrender of every thing at
stake. Atg t
1t is SO with the Fisheries Question. The
Message speaks of it as a new thing, not acted
upon for want of time; when really it is some
several months old, and, in these days of steam
nitely acted upon long since. And the apollo
getic tone Of the diluted explanation is such as
to invite Great Britain to claim total surren-
der Of oil those rights, for which the magnificent
genius of Henry Clay so strenuously labored and
l which IT so triumphantly secured. Under the
Language Of the message, Great Britain may well
claim new concessions and more favorable con-
ditions for even her recognition of now estab-
lished treaty rights And such claim she will
make.
Then we have Cuba and the Spanish authori.
ties; and tits $50 with. them. The message
says
4 But the Captain General of Cuba is clothed with No
power to treat with foreign nor is he in any
dssree under the control of the Spanish Munster at
Wsshipgt0n Any Communication which he NAV hold
a agent Of foreign power is informal and matter
N Net one word of dissent or protest against the
is-assumed powers of the Captain General of
suba !! On the contrary, a clear recognition of
il right to communicate E with the agent Of any
areign power" as only & informal and matter of
