Dreadful Collision on Lake Erie.

The sad details of the appalling cala,ri'y
which happened 70 the Atlantic begin TO
reach us by mail. The collision occurred
on the morning Of the 2Oth. between the
steamer Atlantic Of the Michigan Central
railroad line, and the propellor O1denshurc.

propeller struck thc steTmcr iorwarl Of tlc
larbonrd wheel house. cutting her hull 10 'he

had been reversed before the collision oc-
Cured. and as soon as hcadwav was stopped
she fell off. and the steamer passed IN, her
machinery working all the time during the
collision. 1t was soon discovered that the

IL Perhaps some Of our Democratic
friends may be glad TO see what the veteran
Father Richie thinks Of Winfield Scott as
a soldier and civilian. The following ex-
tract from one of his articles, commenting
on the bad taste OF the Wings in selecting
Gen. Taylor as their candidate in l64S,
speaks upon both points. It is from the
Washington Union Of lS43, and reads as
follows:
"Gen. Scott is an older soldier than Gen.
Tayor-one who is at least equally if not
more accomplished, and who has distinguish
ed himself by more and as brilliant battles
during the war--who captured Vera Cruz
and the castle, and the capitol of Mexico
and one, too, who has more the quality IF a
civilian, and is better known as "a whig."

Political Signs.

Ebenezer Knowlton, Of Maine, Locofoco
Speaker of the Maine House of Representa-
tives in ls47, prominent man of that par
ty many years, and proposed for Congress
sonal and Gubernatoral nomination from
them, bolts from Pierce and King, and says,
in a published letter: II cannot and shall
not vote with the Democratic party at the
coming Presidential election"
Everything in the Keystone State looks
promising for General Scott. A Wing pa
per in Harrisburg says in one township an
old gentleman and his flcelre sons, all Demo-
Gratis. have declared their determination to
vote for General Scott, and scores of simi-
lar instances could be given. Hundreds OF
Democrats in Harrisburg and throughout
Dauphn county will rally to his support,
and there is no telling what his majority
will be. The paper states that if the other
counties in the State do as well as old Dau-
phin, the majority for Scott and Graham
will not fall short of 10000
The Detroit Advertiser says not a day
passes over their heads wherein they do not
hear of one or more men who have usually
voted against us, declaring their intention
to for Scott. That paper states it as their
settled belief that Michigan, Indiana and
Wisconsin are sure for Scott.

President Jefferson"
Who Opposes Gen Scott.

1t is common remark that You may
know a man by his friends. You can tell
something about him by noticing Who are
his cnemies. Gen. Scott has various orpo-
nents.
Rev. Mr.. Brownlow opposes him because
he caused the churches and religious >crvi-
ces OF the Catholics in Mexico 10 be res
pcc'ed by hls soldiers. And all supporters
Of the Religious Test in New Hampshire,
and Scctariun bigotS everywhere, follow the
lead OF Rev. Mr.. Browniuw.
The London Times opposes him because
Gen. Pierce will be valuable practical
ally 10 the commercial policy OF England" "
by which Ireland has been ruined, and
America seriously injured. And ,he cari-
talists and landho'dcrs in England follow the
lead of the London Times.
Messrs. Toombs and Stephens oppose
him because lie ''gives no other guarantee
for the policy OF his administration, than
the known incidents Of a long life" and they
have looked through them and can find notl-
ing that indicates any leaning towards their
views. And the Southern ScccsSionists
follow the lead OF MeSsrS. ToombS and Ste
phens.
The Philadelphia Sun opposes him be-
cause ''hc is disposed TO grant too many
priyil ges TO Foreigners And the Natives
everywhere follow the lead of the Phila-
delphia Sun.
The Mcxicans and Canadians oppose him
because they think ''hc is too much of a mil
itary man.
The South Carolina and Frontier NAL
contents oppose him because they think lie
is TOO much of Peace man.
The Snags and Sawycrs, and Shoals and
Breakers in the Rivers and Harbors oppose
him because they know that if he is elected
they will have 10 move.
Locoroco office holders, here and there,
oppose him for the same reason.
And the great part of the Locofoco party
follow in their lead, simply because they are
Locoiocos, without knowing why or where
