STEAM Boar ACCIDENT-We UNDER
stand that the fine steamer New Lucy, was
a few days since, unfortunately sunk, in
the neighborhood of Glasgow Missouri,
while ascending the river We were un-
able to learn the amount of loss sustained
or whether it proved fatal to any of the
passengers or crew, but from all that could
be gathered in regard to the accident, we
are induced to hope that it was unattended
by the loss Of life. We particularly regret
this catastrophe since several of our cit
liens will probably suffer in consequence,
and we cordially tender our sincers sym
pathies to the owners and officers of the
Lucy, especially, as they have always been
polite, hospitable, and accommodating, and
have frequently rendered the services OF
their boat, to numerous parties of pleasure
from the various river towns.

FOR DELEGATE TO CONGRESS,
GEN. J. w. WHITFIELD
Subject to the Decision of Pro-Slavery
Convention, sh ould one be held.
Gen. J. w. Whitfield.

We wish to inform the pro-slavery men
of Kansas, that the time is near at hand,
when they must select a standard bearer
around whom to rally at the com ing cleo
ton, and one who will be suitable ex-
ponent of their views, and watchful guar
dian of their rights and interests, in the
next Congress. Gen. Whitfield was your
last representative in that body, and so far
as we have been able to learn, his course
has been characterized by the utmost abil-
ity, honesty and consistency. His enc
mics have made dastardly attempt to i'm
molate him, for the purpose of exalting
above him few pettifoging, pusilanimous,
aspirants, but we cannot believe that the
intelligent members of our party will suf-
fer such injustice to be done one, who has
sacrificed personal interest and private
comfort, In their service and for their ben
eft You have been told that he is not
pro-slavery in his tendency, because he
declared that he was elected as an admin
istration national Democrat. Now we
ask if at the. recent election, there was
any thing inconsistent In the declaration
Was it impossible for him to be one or
both, and at the same time true to his pro-
fessions and his constituents? You are
well aware that then we fought an insidi-
GUS and assassin foe, in the dark, and that
it was policy in the pro-siavery party to
make any and every issue, which promis-
ed success, before the final and all absorb
ing slavery test. This was done by Gen.
W.; but his Congressional career has been
satisfactory to us, and you must now Ell
| ther repudiate or endorse it. Will you
retain an old, faithful and tried servant, or
discharge him for one of whom you know
comparatively nothing2 IfGen. Whitfield
failed to endorse the pro-slavery platform,
we would be the last to support him. But
