The Southern Wings had glorious oppor-
tunity to testify their devotion not only to
good faith, but to the Wing party, and to Sc
cure the reyivifcation of that party and an
easy triumph for it in 1856, when the admin
istration presented its Nebraska scheme of
favoring the extension of slavery. They were
appealed to, most strongly, to seize the occa-
sion. They spurned the opportunity. They
destroyed the national Wing party. The
Wings of the North cannot meet with these
men again. 1t is impossible. THIS fact must
be realized by the Wings Of Massachusetts,
aohen assembled IN council this accek.-Spring~
field Republican, dug. IA.
But it wasn't realized, though; the hunkers
expect that they will need the votes of those
fellows for Scott or Fillmore in 1856 and, hav-
ing full control of the Convention, they had
no desire to hurt their feelings by " INVITING

GRIsI AND MAR1o.-The New York papers
are full of notices of these great singers, or
we suppose we should say artiSteS. Every
thing connected with them Is described, even
to the lady bed chamber, at the st. Nicholas
Yet not everything for in none of the CO.
pious biographies and laudations do we find
the year in which Grisi was born. Some of
them compare her to the goddess of love and
beauty, but they do not tell when she rose
from the foam of the sea- from which we con-
clude that time does not stop for the divini-
ties OF the opera, and that even Grisi is older
than she was forty years ago. The Boston
Post, with all irreyerence which calls for the
strongest condemnation, publishes the follow.
ing atrocous misrepresentation of what took
place at the st. Nicholas, Immediately after the
distinguished arrival:
" Mario Immediately took little brandy
and water, and Grisi soaced her weary mo-
ments by claret julep, both Of which were
pronounced by the distinguished artistes' as
Internally good, and as having gone to the
right place. ~ Precedence Journal.

IowA.-We observe in some quarters dis
position to represent the late triumph of the
anti-slayery and anti grog shop ticket in Iowa
as a victory of the Wings. This is erroneous
and unjust. The Wing party, as such. never
could have gained that success. 1t was
achieved by fusion of all honest parties-bv
the combination of men previously entertain
ing differing or antagonistic sentiments on DO
litical questions, who came together on the
common ground of slavery restriction and Lii
quor Prohibition, and fought the glorious bat
tie of freedom as one man, with the result at
which we now rejoice. 1t was not done by
either of the old organizations, but by that
NEW PARTY of the people which the Ne
braska outrage has brought to life in all the
Northern States, and which, we do not doubt,
is destined substantially to triumph crery,oheye.
We must object, then, to every attempt to
belittle the defeat Of the slave drivers aud rum
sellers in Iowa by attrbuting 1t to the Wings.
They GO operated in it-at least the great ma
iority of Thorn did so-but they have no ex-
cluoive title to the honor, and twill not claim
it. We are confident that they are content to
see the common cause triumphant without
calling too carefully to mind the distinctions
of former times. Names are not what is most
important, and if freedom and public good
triumph, it is of little consequence whether it
be through Wings, Democrats. Free Sellers,
or Rep lblicans. But lose are not the best
friends of the good cause who seek to repre-
sent thiD noble struggle in Iowa as having
been won by the Wings, as a distinct party

HE BRIDGE ON TEMPLE STREET. Some
time ago the city government ordained that
Temple street should be extended to Grafton
street, by the erection of a bridge across the
blackstone canal, and commenced filling up
the space from the foot Of Temple street to the
water. their progress was slow, until the
space became pretty well filled up, when an
other ordinance of the city government, (con-
frming the former passed. But, on the same
evening, it seems that the action of the city
was arrested by the remonstrance of wealthy
interested individual, whose claim to the wa
ter privilege of the canal, it appears, will take
precedence of every other, and any conven-
fence the public might derive from the cree
ton OF the bridge, or extension Of the street,
must be set aside on that account.
The preparations for building the bridge
We're so far advanced as to have a derrick,
large stones for the foundation, &C., on the
ground, and now it is not quite certain but
the whole affair viii be dropped, so far as the
building is concerned and that, instead Of ac-
commodating the public, or a large portion of
our community, the filthy canal Will, in its
broadcast sense, be not only allowed to send its
pestilential vapors over its neighborhood, but
must not be meddled with for any purpose of
convenience or utility, unless a questionable
right be conceded by an interested, wealthy
individual. A questionable right may seem
to be strong language but it appears that all
the water in the channel Of the canal, and in
the basins on its edge, is little enough for mill
privileges in the neighborhood, Now, it is
fact that basin was sunk on the estate of
the late Messrs. Denny & Bancroft, wide
enough for wharf, by themselves, for their
own convenience, and that width now be-
longs to the city, as part of Temple street, and
the pretence of the remonstance is, that the
erection Of a bridge would narrow the channel
of the Notwithstanding, very likely, that the
described basin is a part of the canal. The
canal is narrowed to its original channel, by
the owners Of real estate, all along its margin,
north of Franklin street, why does not the
city do likewise: Can you, Mr.. Editor, tell

The CATASTROPHE IN BROAD ST.-From
the Boston Journal of Wednesday evening,
10Th, we copy the following additional particu-
lars of the fatal catastrophe in Broad street, on
Tuesday afternoon.
&c We learn that the firemen were engaged
through the night, and are still at work pour
ing water on the burning ruins. AT an early
hour this morning, several workmen COM
menced removing the rubbish from near the
spot where William Downing, the clerk for
Messrs. Zimmerman, Hazen & Co., was seen
to leap, and at about o clock they discovered
his body under mass of bricks and mortar,
with Il block Of granite and large quantity
Of rubbish over that. BY half past nine the
rubbish had been so far removed as to enable
the workmen to take the body from the ruins,
and alter placing it on litter, it was carried
to Police Station, No. 2, under direction Of
Coroner Pratt, whittier it was followed by a
large crowd of persons The deceased board
ed in Haym arket Place, and the only relative
he leaves in the city is a sister, who was de-
votedly attached to him, and who is inconsol-
able at his death.
Workmen will continue to labor on the ru-
ms until the whole mass has been overhauled,
as it is feared that one or more dead bodies
may yet be found.
We learn that the Messrs. Lewis and their
workmen, had very narrow escape from the
falling building. They were busily employed
in removing their stock from the partition
wall to the opposite side of the store. Messrs.
Phillip and Horace Lewis were in the centre
of the lower store (which is sixty feet deep
when the building began to fall, and saved
themselves by running into the street. Four
of their workmen were in the second story,
and were saved on the small remaining por-
ton of the floor, which was held up by the
strong party of the adjoining block. The
whole building sunk before them with tre-
mendous crash, and their escape was little less
than miraculous. Considerable of the stock
of the Messrs. Lewis has been saved by be-
ing deposited against the wall of the adjoining
block.
We learn that the owner of the building
was notified by the Messrs. Lewis, several
days ago, of the weakness of the wall, and
promised 10 attend to the matter. Yesterday
noon still more urgent letter was written to
him, but it was too Late
