stephen Norton's Pocket piece.

Among the victims of the Henry Clay disaster,
was Stephen Allen, Esq, an aged man of the purest
character, formerly Mayor of New York, beloved
and esteemed by all who knew him. In his pocket
book was found printed slip, apparently cut from
q newspaper, of which the following is copy.
keep good company or none. Never be idle.
If your hands can't be usefully employed, attend to
the cultivation of your mind. Always speak the
TRUTH Make few promises. Live up to your en-
gagements Keep your own secrets, if you have
any. When you speak to n person, look him in
the face. Good company and good conversation
the very snews of virtue. Good character is
above all things else. Your character cannot be
essentially injured except by your own acts. If
any speaks evil Of YOU let your life be so that
none will believe him. Drink kind of intoxi-
eating liquors. Ever live misfortune eXcepted,)
within your income. When you retire to-bed,
think over what you have been doing during the
day. Make no haste to be rich, if you would pros
per. Small and steady gains give competency with
tranquility of mind. Never play at any game of
chance. Avoid temptation through fear you may
not Withstand it. Earn money before you spend it.
Never run into debt unless you see way to get out
again. Never borrow, if you can possibly avoid it.
Do not marry until you are able to support wife.
Never speak evil of any one. Be just before you
are generous. Keep yourself innocent, if you
would be happy. Save when you are young to
spend when you are old. Read over the above
maxims at least once week."

THE QUEEN OF ENGLANp,-The National Intel
igcncer is publishing copious extracts from very
interesting series of "Family Letters from an Anne
rican Lady i'll Europe" The writer thus speaks of
the Queen, and her description is worth hundred
of those which are written more carefully for the
public eye. She speaks of her Majesty as she saw
her at the Opera: ,s.-
comfortable box. She is, indeed, very plain; the
face very mottled red, as if from constant e2-
posure 10 the weather, light eyes of not much intel
ligence, the chin receding as to spoil the mouth;
but then, she has soft brown hair, exquisite figure,
shoulders of dazzling whiteness, the contour of
the head classical; and her whole expression be-
tokens what she undoubtedly is, sweet, gentle
lady. Her dress, of blue silk with wreath of
water lilies, is becoming. The Prince scarcely ap-
peared in front of the box, for her Majesty keeps
him close by her side and she does not allow her
self to be often seen by the audience"

At meeting of the Columbus Chippewa Club,
on Friday evening last, an excellent speech was
made by Mr.. Jones of Circleville. The Journal
saws, that "afler the conclusion of Mr.. Jones
speech, there was loud cry for "Shields,"
Shields" Thereupon, one of their citizens OF
that name came forward, and made an animating
speech, He voted for Cass in 1s4S, but could
not now support Gen. Franklin Pierce. He had
seen and heard of nothing in the history OF that
man that could for moment commend himt the
support of any man who had particle of regard
for the Welfare of the West. He went for the
gallant and glorious Scott, and the measures OF
policy which he advocated. Mr.. Shields was re-
peatedly cheered while speaking. He will do much
during the campaign"

next to the high Office to which he was almost
unanimously called. Mr.. Adams the younger,
succeeded him, and no matter how much his po-
ltical principles may be adverted to and opposed
by some, no matter what may be the estimation in
which he may be held, on account of his subse-
quent political course, yet none can deny to him
the possessionof high civil qualifications, and
prominency as politician before the whole coun-
Try, which might well justify his elevation to the
honor conferred upon him.
or Andrew Jackson, we need not speak, his
claims though purely military, were pre- eminent,
but they are to nearly part OF our own day and
generation, to need more than reference. The
"followerin the footsteps of his llusrious prede-
cessor," was also man of talent, of reputation
as statesman, and generally looked to through
out the country.
Harrison had been associated with the history of
the country, for more than a quarter OF century;
was twice brought forward by the people, for the
high destination, and was the leading candidate,
and people's choice in convention in which Clay
and Scott were his competitors. We need not
illustrate further; all the candidates even, up to
1874, had been prominent men. Clay, Crawford
and Jackson, were the competitors of Adams; Har-
tons of candidates for the Presidential chair,
were made in accordance with the previously as
eertained ,cishes of the people. In 1914, the two
thirds rule worked a change. Then for the first
time, were the people told, that it vas not for
them to say who should be the nominee for Pres
ident; then were they informed that the peoples
delegates, the wire working and place making
politicians of the country, and not the people were
to select the candidates; and then was presented
to the people the option Identification, of usurp-
ed authority or defeat" No one of the popular
assemblages had even suggested James X Polk, as
a candidate; on the contrary, the people had spo-
ken for others. Again has this course been pursu-
ed by the convention of one of the great parties
ofthe country; again have the people had presen-
ted to them candidate of whom most of them had
never heard, and candidate nominated without
the sanction of single assembly of the people, and
in open violation Of their declared and fully e1-
pressed preferences, if wemay except New Hamp-
shire intention, hch Gen. P, did not suffer to ma
ture. Ofthe qualifications and claims of the can
ddate, we shall not now speak, 1t being the prln-
ciple by which he was nominated, and its prach-
cal results to which we invite you attention, and
in a future number, we shall attempt to show that
the practical effect of the two thirds rule, no mat
ter by which party adopted, will be to destroy first
rate men, and to prevent rising American talent
from expanding, and fully developing itself before
the whole country.

We have gathered the following interesting par
ticulars concerning the sinking of the steamer At
iont;c. dense fog prevailed at the time the pro-
pellor came in collision with the steamer. The
Messengers were all in bed and the first mate was
on duty. Immediately after the collision, which
was yery severe, a scene of the utmost confusion
prevailed among the steerage and deck passengers
! very large proportion of whom were Norwegian
cmgrans, and several, it is thought, in the terror
and darkness that prevailed, jumped overheard at
once. Capt Petty, although seriously injured, en-
dcayored with the assistance of his crew, to calm
the fears of the passengers, assuring them that
there was no immediate danger. The steamer

tn reach port, although the boat was leaking
badly.

nroceeded about two miles from the spot where
the collision took place, it was found that the
boat was rapidly sinking, the fires in the room be-

sunk. The propeller, which had kept the wake

who were now seen struggling in the water.
The fog was sad hinderance to their efforts, but
some two hundred and fifty were rescued from the

The Platforms.

We publish to-day, and shall preserve in our
columns until the Presidential election, the princ-
nles of the two principal political parties of the
country. 1t is necessary, both for the apprecia-
ton and pe1petuity of our system of government
that full examination of political principles
should be made by each voter for himself, and
that each should institute a candid comparison OF
the principles of the two parties with each other
and with the great platform of Union, known as
the Federal Constitution. Each should determine
for himself, first whether measure proposed Is
constitutional, and then whether it is expedient,
and called for by the eXigencies and necessities OF
the county. Ifths be done, the majority will vote
right and the influence, now so deeteriously exer-
csed by clap-tra politicians andscheming demago-
gues will be perverte dand dest1oyed and the great
body of the people will learn that the safest, the
surest, and the most profitable method of enjoying
and preserving their high privileges and unex-
ampled freedom, is to examine, to understand and
to act for themselves. We can show ourselves
capable of self government only by governing for
ourselves and by suffering no motive, other than
the desire of acting rightly, and no influence, 9TH
er than that prompted by fully understanding our
principles to govern and direct us in our political
course With this view, we lay before our readers
the two Baltimore Platforms, and shall, as soon as
our time will permit, offer such reflections upon
them as may be suggested by candid examination
and comparison of their respective merits.
