Permit me to inquire through the medium
of your paper, why it is that the Life Boat,
furnished by Government for the assistance
of the distressed and ship-wrecked mariners
in the vicinity of our harbor, is permitted
to lie on the sand, in the open air, near the
wharf, in a completely useless condition?
Whose fault is it that the drowning sailor,
when storms and tempests have driven his
vessel wreck, should be thus deprived of
the only hope of succor? How came the
boat in its present useless condition? Some
body must be at fault. AT whose door lies
the great sin of this neglect?
We are informed that certain gentlemen Of
Grand Haven entered into bonds with Gov
eminent for the preservation and safe keeping
of this boat, and is it not reasonable That our
citizens should require of these gentlemen,
in behalf of government and the wrecked
mariner, strict and unequivocal compliance
with the conditions of that bond, and have
the boat Immediately repaired and put into
proper condition, by the party who injured
the same, so that it can be successfully used
whenever circumstances require its aid I!
Several lives were no doubt saved last No
vember from the wrecked Lodi, by means OF
this boat, skillfully managed by few brave
seamen. The season Of storms, tempests,
and wrecks is fast approaching again, and
feelings of justice, humanity, and sympathy
for the distressed, imperatively demand that
immediate action should be taken by citizens
and others, to see that this public wrong is
promptly, fully redressed, and the rights Of
Government and individuals maintained.

FUsIoN-In Massachusetts, the black re-
publicans have agreed to nominate no State
ticket. They will vote in body the aboi-
ton know-nothing ticket, headed by Gard
ner for Govonor The know-nothing Con-
gressmen are all to be re-nominated and they
also will have the support of the black re-
publicans. Upon these conditions the two
parties fuse upon Fremont.
In Pennsylvania there has been no Ere
mont electoral ticket nominated. The oppo-
sition State ticket is coalition affair of the
Fillmore know-nothings and black republi-
cans. The latter arc making desperate eff
forts to induce the former to fuse upon
an electoral ticket the most brilliant offers Of
preferment being made to the know nothing
leaders in the event of Fremont's election.
But it is announced by the Buffalo CONNER
cim Advertiser, Mr.. Fillmore's home organ,
that these offers have been rejected, and
that they will hereafter be rejected as often
as made. We shall not be surprised how
ever, if, after all, the democracy of Penn
