UNCERTAINTY OF THE FATE
OF DIR. KANE. s,g5

DR.. Kane set out on his second voy-
age in search Of Sir John Franklin, with
the stern determination to brave the MOST
formidable obstacles in the prosecution
Of his noble object. And It IVES this
fact, together with the well-known in
trepidity Of the gallant commander, and
the long silence a. to his fate that gave
rise 70 wide spread anxiety for the safe
~ Of Or. Kane. AT length this feeling
found practical expression through the
General government, in the appropria-
ton of $i5O, 900 for the fitting out of .
squadron 70 proceed 70 his relief. Two
vessels, the bark Release aud the steam
u Attic, the former under the command
of Lieut. Hartstein. and the latter com
nanded BY Liert. Simms, with officers
and crews, the best that the service
could afford, formed the Relief expedi-
ton. These vessels were admirably
adapted for contest with the rigors u
an Artic voyage, and i Is not TOO much
70 say that no former expedition Of the
kind was % well appointed ID every res
pcct for such work.

or The Boston 14t3as, in noticing |
runner that movement had been sfattec
at the South to prevent the Massachusetts
delegation from taking their seats ut the
next Congress, says IF Our Southern
friends wan, to do rs real Kindness,
they will urge their plan, nreposterous as
il may be, 10 successful issue. Our
rain In State credit would be infinitely
greater than our loss.n From which i.
is fair to conclude that the .7ias has not
very elevated idea of the talent and
brilliancy of their new delegation. And
il is strange body Of men for that State
10 send We cannot remember the time
before when her list of Congressman has
not comprised many OF her most Prac-
tised statesmen and choicest intellects. 1t
has been the boast and to the credit Of
Massachusetts, that she has kept her best
and ablest men in the public service.
Blu, in the new delegation is the name d
no person even generally known or
heard Of. They are all, or nearly all
new, untred men, who have never
vet made their mark even in their own
little school district communities. Well
may the 4dAas fear for the ancient rerown
