SH1PwREcKs.-The late storm was ter
ribly destructive of lives and shipping
The PoUzattan was wrecked on Long
Beach, and all of her emigrant passen-
gers, two hundred in number, perished.
The ManhattaR was also lost near the
same spot. All on board perished save
one sailor, who is in such condition as to
be unable to give any information.
The vessel lost off Barnegat was prob
ably the British ship Ram6oh. She had
between 800 and 400 passengers, all of
whom, it is feared, have perished.

Easter Sunday in New York.


By the following which we take from
the New York Tribune it seems that the
terrible storm which we had here on East
er Sunday, ragged with still more frightful
severity at the Northeast: o
The Holy Easter was such as the oldest
inhabitant never before saw: it seemed to
have changed places with Christmas, put
ting the Crucitixion before the Advent
The utter cheerlessness of the day truly
typifed its historically solemn character.
The churches, usually on this occasion
overcrowded, were comparatively deser-
ted, and looked scarcely less cold and
gloomy than the world without. The
streets were given up to the storm, which
raved and roared through them, whist
ling among the telegraph wires and shrek
ing around the sharp angles, like tor
mented spirit. At night, the terrible
Northeaster redoubled its fury; rushing
down from its wrestling with the ieebergs,
fairly crystalizingin frost. The snow was
falling in large flakes, driven before it with
spiteful force that sent the sharp, icy
prisms through the skin like needles, and
made the amplest bodily protection mat
ter of actual necessity. On the ground,
some three inches of snow froze into a
crisp ice, making travel both difficult and
tedious. January fires, listed doors, warm
possets, and early beds, characterized this
remarkable Sixteenth of April
SICKNESS AND DEATHS ON THE RIVER
We learn from Capt. Dozier of the Ell
vira, that the steamer Australia, which
left here onlast Wednesday for St. Joseph
Missouri river, with large crowd of Nor
mon passengers, has had considerable
sickness and number of deaths on board
On Saturday last the Australia stopped a
Dozier's Landing, short distance from
where the family of Captain Dozier re
sides, and buried two or three bodies 0
persons that had just died on board, ano
those on the boat stated to persons living
there that twelve deaths had occurred be
fore she reached that point, and that {
number of others were then sick. The
disease of which those persons died was
said to be cholera.
A lady, the wife of Mr.. Taylor resi-
ding at Dozier's Landing, was taken sicl
of cholera on the same day that the Aus
tralia landed there and died the same
night. She had been married but si1
weeks previous to her death, and was il
good health the day before. The repor
of the number Of deaths that have occur
red on this boat may possibly be exagger
ated, but that number of persons have
died on board there is not the slightes
doubt. The passengers on board the
Australia were principally English Nor
mons just from New Orleans and bound
for Salt Lake.-,H. Louis Rep. 18th.

Terrible Disaster and shipwreck at Sea.
Terrible and frequent as are the disas
ters upon our rivers and lakes to steam
boats and marine vessels, and upon rail
road cars, they both seem to be thrown
entirely into the shade by the wholesale
destruction of life upon the ocean. The
Albany Atlas thus recapitulates some of
the latest disasters, the magnitude of which
is enough to free one with horror. That
journal says:
s'The total numberof persons who per
ished on the Poanhottan, including the off
GERS and crew, is at least two hundred and
twenty; on board the Taylor, wrecked in
the Irish channel, three hundred and sew
enty; on board the Ste6ordshire, wreck
ed off Cape Sable, one hundred and eigh-
ty; and on board the steamship San
Francisco, one hundred and thirty; max
ing in these disasters alone, loss of nine
hundred human lives. Many vessels dis
appear; and the sea gives up no reckon
ing of its dead.
The steamship City Ct Glasgosg sailed
from GLASGOW for Philadelphia ON the LIST
of March, with some four hundred souls
on board, and has never since been spok-
en-. The LeviatAam packet ship sailed
from New Y York on the 22d of November,
and the Lucia Field about the 1st of De-
cember, both for Liverpool, and no ac-
count of either has been received. The
clipper Dauntless left Boston for Valpa-
raiso on the 23d of October, and nothing
is known of her fate.
Every year the catalouge Of these dis
appearances increases, yet, as hope is
slowly surrendered, they are never put
down in the list of the current calamities
of the day.-Cin. Eng.
SYSTEMS OF GovERNMENT.-There are
at present. eighty-three empires, mon

ing among them Jamaco, king of all the
Mosquitoes, and also those of Bohemy

including Ranavalona, of Madagascar,
and Pomare, of the Society Islands,

SIR: Having been known as democrat
! from my earliest youth, aud not wishing to
hold an equiyocal position, ] deem It nothing
but an act Of justice to say distinctly that
no longer consider myself connected with the
Democratic party 10 any of its rotations
From the influence of early education, | De-
came identified with the Democratic party,
and supported what purported to De ITS prin-
ciples with zeal and fidelity. In brief, once
considered the Democi attic party the only true
republican party Of the country, and wouiu
have looked upon its defeat as the downfall o.
the Republic. 1t would, therefore. De VAN
to say, that can sever old political assocla-
tions aud ties, without feeling OF regret !;
but the path Of duty is plain before me, ana
| have no other to pursue
Whilst retain the fullest confidence ID
the integrity and patriotism OF the mass OF
the democracy, it is clear to my mind tha1
they are under the control--the absolute con-
trol-of leaders who have ayailed themselves
of the Democratic organization merely to ad-
vance their own personal and political ends,
who are not only hostile to each other, but
hostile to every true and loyal democrat VINO
stands in their way, and cannot De made SUP
seryient to their own selfish purposes,
The free exercise Of opinion upon all ques-
tious affecting our temporal interests and fu-
ture happiness, is one of the most sacred
rights OF American citizens; yet, it isstram .
plea under foot by the Democratic organiza-
ton Of the present day. Every man who ex-
presses difference of opinion upon any ques-
ton which the leaders have determined in
caucus to make party issue, even as to the
expediency Of nominating candidates for
Sheriffs or Commissioners Of the Revenue, is
marked" and denounced through the col
umns OF the press as TRAITOR" ''desecra-
tor ON simpostor,' aud $50 supremely
worthless that his very name is reproaeb,
abborred by men ard rejected by heaven"
Systematic efforts are made by these merce
nary leaders with the aid of their hireling
presses to put him in an attitude of antago-
nism with the party, and to crash him per-
sonaly and politically-the surest method Of
getting rid OF an opponent. And all this is
tolerated, if not sanctioned by majority of
what the leaders call the frank and Gle'' of
the party.
/ therefore, turn my back upon party
which is tame enough, and spiritless enough
to be controlled by such influences; rash
mn hands and purge my garments Of every
yestige of such democracy; and shall hence
forth give my unreseryed support to any par
ty which is openly and earnestly opposed to
this mad spirit Of democratic violence. tyran-
ny and usur patton, and maintains in good
faith the principles of our Republican Con-
stitution, and the institutions of the country.
