SAFETY Of DR.; Kane and his party Of arctic Ed
plorers.
NEW York, Oct. 1.-THE propeller Arctic and
barque Relief sent out some four months since un-
der the command of Lieut.. Hartstein to the rescue
of DIR. Kane and his party, arrived here this
ming, having board the doctor and his company.
The propeller and barque made their way north in
Smiths Sound up to lat. 70 deg 80 min., when their
further progress was stopped by the ice. After
making their way in towards the shore, the exped-
ton discovered Indian village, where they learn
ed that Dr. Kane andJ his party had= gone south.
They then retuaned to Disco Island, in Davis Strait
off the western coast of Greenland where they found
Dr. Kane and his expeditionsts. DIR. Kane had
pushed his vessel the Rescue as far north as 81 de-
grees when she was frozen in. He remained by her
all the winter, sending to the Indian village for pro-
visions. In the spring he abandoned the ship and
made his way southwardly in sedges to Upernavick,
whence they were conveyed in Danish vessel to
the Island of Disco, where they were found by the
expedition sent in search OF them.
Three of DR.. Kane's party died-Chrstian Olsen,
carpenter Pierce Schubert, cook; and Jefferson Ba
ker, seaman The remainder ALL more or less,
frost bitten.
On the 18th ult., the barque Relief narrowly es-
capped shipwreck by coming in contact with an ice
berg She stove her bulwarks and had her boats
carried away.
The last winter unusually severe in the Arc
tic region and many natives persisted from exposure
and starvation.
No traces whatever were discovered of Sir John
Franklins party.

HENDERSON, Sept. "a, 1855
GENTLEMEN: I am in the receipt of your favor of
The 18th inst, requesting to be present and ad-
dress mass meeting of the democracy, to be held
at Paducah the 9th inst. You are right in sup
posing that it my intention to cooperate in future
with the democratic party. The wing party, with
which have so long acted has no longer political
existence. 1 have party now but my country
To this shall not cease to be faithful The Ameri-
can party divided it is into two great sectional
parties tho northern and the southern can only
iniure where it would serve the country; for, in
stead of strengthening the national men of all par
ties it can only divide them in all the elections when
