and support Of two Presidential administration, he
has made but little out Of either Our President
stood in his way at the Baltimore Convention, and,
deluded by the false promises Of the South, de-
ceived by the barney of Wall street, and tho
treschery of the Union Safety Committee-betrayed,
in fact, by tho ingratitude Of the whole wing party
he is right in standing aloof from the Baltimore
nomination. He may even be right in quarrclng
with the President, and in abandoning him to got
out of the fishery and the guano difficulties the best
way that he can but where is Mr.. Webster to 10 {
We can answer the question. II is answered by Mr.
Clay, Mr.. Calhoun, j @ Adams, and in this last
election in Missouri, by Thomas H. Benton Let
Mr. Webster return to Congress--be may easily get
back to the Senate. There, standing like Henry
Clay, upon the broad platform of the Union and the
constitution, above all parties, and Independent of
any party. he may, like the great Kentuckan, ex-
ercise influence greater than that of Gen. Scott
OF Gen. Pierce, in the White House, in giving shape
and direction to the policy of the government.
We dcubt not that the election of Colouel Ben
ton TO the House Of Representatives, will prove
TO be of the highest Importance to the country.
And Congress is also the proper arena for the
pre- eminent abilities Of Mr.. Webster. There is
no necessity for him now, as in the time of John
| Tyler, to 80 about the country asking "Where am
to 20 7" Let him go back to the Senate or House,
and vindsate to the end that most glorious title
of the defender of the Constitution
! In conclusion, President Fillmore has yet time
enough to retrieve much that he has lost from the
amiable impotoncy which has marked his conduct Of
affairs. If he would retire with any degree of the
credit Of John Tyler, let him stand firm upon the
fishery question, and the guano question, and tho
Central American question; and if he is disposed
to be generous let him exercise the virtue in some
liberal and satisfactory arrangement Of the Tehuan.
| terec question with Mexico. Let him bring the
Gardiner and Galphin recipients to judgment ut all
hazards but let him to il, also, that these slip
perry demagogues, who were the toadies of Fillmore
or Webster yesterday, but who are now the most
fulsome toadies of Gen. Scott, get moro Offices.
They do not deserve them. Finally, let the Senate,
in this gambling for the last of the spoils Of this
wing regime, take that the treasury is Sc
cured and that the public interests not sacrificed
to trading place hunters, intent only upon the pub
lie plumber Let all this be done, and this adm-
nistraton may yet retire with reputation second
only to that Of John Tyler.

THE GREAT CALAMITY ON THE NORTH RIVER
There never has happened an occurrence demanding
more prompt and determined action on the part
Of those who authorized to prosecute and punish
public criminals, than the terrible catastrophe Of
the Henry Clay, by which scores of precious lives
were sacrificed to insane pride avarice, and care
lessncss. And yet fortnight has elapsed since the
dreadful occurrence, and decisive steps have been
taken to bring the guilty parties trial and punish
ment The criminal authorities are culpably tardy,
both in this city and Westcheser, SO that, indeed,
we begin to have little or no confidence in the ef-
fciency and public spirit Of any of public officers
or in their intention Of having punishment inflicted
on those connected with the Henry Clay disaster,
occasioned as it was by the carelessness amounting
to recklessness, Of the owners, captain, engineer
frcmen, barkeeper, and others. Mr.. Blunt,
the District Attorney of this city, at the
very first chance, put forward n special plea,
exempting himself, according to the statute, from
the right Of noticing the matter at all. Mr.. Hall,
the United States District Attorney hustled little
in the matter, but we have no confidence that he
will pursue up to the point Of conviction and pun
sbment. Even Mr.. Wells, the District Attorney
Of Wcstchester, puts forth special pleas justfyng
delay, on this account and on that account, until
such time as the horrible affair may be entirely
forgotten by the public in some new excitement OF
the day. Neither we do we expect that Congress
will enact law, Of any degree Of efficiency, pro-
viding against the rcckesnoss Of captains or engi-
ncers.
TIE truth Of this matter is this: Both railroads
and steamboats, in every part of this country, excr
else, through their managers and owners, an
amount Of influence for moro active and potent
than any mere abstract idea of public indigna-
ton that may grow out Of such startling disasters
1t lie the interest Of these railroad and steamboat
proprietors and managers to prevent the execution
Of all laws intended to prevent rccklcssncss Of con-
duct in those having charge Of such modes OF con-
veyoncc, and to obstruct the passage, by Congress-
Of any new law imposing additional penalties on
such disregard Of safety hereafter. The amount Of
these combined influences is too powerful to be re-
sisted; and doubt, therefore, that the district
attorneys. public pr secutors, coroners, and con-
gressmen will nil, after few feeble Efforts appar.
emily in the direction of ustice quietly cease all
their exertons, and permit the whole matter to fall
into oblivion and be thrown over, just rs every ac-
cideDt Of n similar nature has been heretofore
treated by them.
