relief expedition from the south could reach
the party in time 10 prevent their imprison
ment for third winter, which, with the;t
deficiency of fuel, would have proved moa
disastrous, il not fatal Under these circum-

81 days of constant exposure, they reached
Cape Alexander and embarked in open wa

travelled 10 the southwark, sometimes over
ice, sometimes through water, shooting elder
duck and seal, and collecting enough ssgs
to keep the parry in good condition At
Cape Fork they burned up theft spare boats
and sledses for fuel, and left ihacoast. Siri-

they then steered for the north Danish settle

Vino Is Mn. BAaKs.--l'he Boston Cour-
ier, a Wing paper, thus tells who Mr.. Banks
is:
"Whcn Banks comes up in tho end as the
candidate OF the republicans and northern
Americans. he will have the whole of their
vote. We advise them to corner him down
to some principle, for he never has had any
stable principle in all the course of his polit.
ical life. When one of our contemporaries
said that Mr. Banks was a fit successor to
Mcssrs. Winthrop, Valley and others, as
Speaker of the Massachusetts, House of Re.
representatives., its editor must have been
asleep. II the republicans want him they
must nail him down, and nail him hard, or
they will not keep him. lie is one of the
most slippery aud uncertain politicians in the
world. II hc is elected Speaker, and the
Pierce politicians want to buy him they can
have him without doubt, but it must be- al a
price"
The Washington correspondent Of the
New York llcrall says:
"If soberness constitutes dignity, Banks
must make dignhed Speaker, in the event
of his election. lie has the air of Il New En-.
gland clergyman pacing the deck Of stea.
mer which he expects every minute will blow
