aJ- The Pacific had new captain and new
gneer-the Persia, the new crack ship CT the Cunard
line was but three days behind her, and bets were
out on the passage of the two vessels. The track
was filled with ice-bergs These are the unfavorable
circumstances which, with the long time since she
has been heard Of lead to the melancholy but inevi-
table conclusion that the gallant ship is gone By
the way, the Philadelphia Ledger has strange ar
ticle about this same Collins line which, if true
ought to be known. Says the Ledger -
THE COLLINS ALIAS ENGLISH LINE.--The whisper
which has been about for years, that the Collins line
of steamers was really owned by British capitalists
receives confirmation from the lately published letter
of Captain Nye in which it is more than limited that
the commander of the missing steamer Pacific was
placed there by the foreign owners, and against the
wishes of Mr.. Collins. Even so far back as the
winter of '53 and 81 it was stated in Lverpcol
says Captain Nye, by well known English firm
that the Collins steamers were their own property
and that, therefore, they would do with them what
they pleased.
Yet this very line, it is well known, has been kept
up by appropriations from Congress, the plea that
it was an American one Nay, these appropriations
them selves have been of doubtful constitutonaliy
1t is not improbable, according to Capt. Nye tina
the appointment of the commander of the missing
ship may have caused the accident to her, for The
former chief engineer refused to continue in her after
the change-a new ard inexperienced one was sub
stituted. The retirement of Captain Nye, who for
merly commanded the Pacific, it must be Iemem
bered was voluntary, so that these statements are
not the result of spleen

tiles of Kansas, and not the Reeder Free Sellers
The present population of Kansas is said to be
some thrty-fve to 1orty thousand, and an immense
increase is confidently anticipated within the coming
summer-whch, for aught we know, will always be
coming and come. No doubt, good many
people will go, but not many as people talk about
Mr. Clayton in the Senate on the 18th, paid high
compliment to the Administration. He said he was
nc partizan of the President, but when our foreign
relations were conducted with such signal ability, he
was willing to give the administration credit
By the way, there was a slight sparrng in the SEN
ate on Friday last, in which Mr.. Douglas handled
Mr. TrumbuII, his K. N. Abolitionst colleague from
illinois, without gloves, and gave Sumner, of Massa-
chusetts, and others, also rakng. Trumbul, in
violation of courtesy and good faith, in Judge Doug
as Absence attacked the Kansas report made by the
after gentleman from the Committee on Territories
| was understood that the discussion of this matter
would not be entered upon until Monday TumbulI,
however, under cloak of speaking to a motion to
print, made three hours speech against the report
and its author. Towards the close of his remarks
Mr.. Douglas came in. He replied to his colleague in
pretty sharp terms, and in the course of his remarks
spoke OF knowNohings and Abolitoniss as being the
same and that Mr. Trumbul had been elected bv
them, To this Mr.. Crittenden took execution. He
belonged to the party which Mr.. Douglas cassed as
Aboonists, and would not be SO classed without re-
polling the aspersion Mr.. Douglas said he spoke OIL
Know-Nothngs in Illinois, there Know Nothingsm
and Abolitlonism went together. Mr.. Crittender
might speak for Kentucky. He could speak for Hi
nOis
An appeal was made to Mr.. Douglas to defer his
remarks until Monday. He said that pending the
discussion of the Kansas Bill a similar anaeaI had
been made, and his courtesy had been abused BY
those who had taken advantage of the delay to pub
lsh IN the meantime libel upon him in the form of
an address He referred to Mr.. Sumner and others
He would not trust to them again

The New Hampshire Election.
The Providence Post says:


"Our democratic friends in the Granite State have
done noby. They have not elected their candidate
for governor but instead of wanting ten MouSa nd
votes of election, last year, he has undoubtedly
received larger vote than Metcal the free soil and
know-nothng candidate The immense majority
against us in the legislature has been reduced to
mere neutrality-suspicious. to nothing, Enough has
been done to make it certain that the State will be
democratic by triumphant ma ority in the presid-
entail contest"
The Boston Post of Thursday says:
"The democracy have made noble struggle, and
covered themselves with honor, though we fear they
have not quite succeeded in rescung the government
OF the State from the incompetent hands that seized
upon it in the hue and cry of last year. When we
remember that there was an opposition of OVER TEN
THOUSAND 10 be overcome in the popular vote, and
one hundred and fifty majorityin the popular branch
OF the Legislature, are surprised at the splendid
Achievements of the democrats rather than chagrned
that they have not won complete victory. gain
Of SEVEN or EIGHT THOUSAND votes, and the re
ducton of the ponderous fusion ma orty in the leg
lslature 10 almost nothing, are sufficient evidence OF
the recuperatlVe energies of our party, and PROOF
that, in November New Hampshire will cast her
vote tor the nominees of the Cincinnati Convention,
anG take her place again among the stars the U11-
ion flag.
Honor and gratitude, we say, 10 Mr. Wells for
zens during the canvass, and to the other speakers
who have assisted him to the press, also, and all
who have circulated the TRUTH by which the errors
OF sham AmercaniSm and false repubiicanism have
been scattered to the winds

ates may, perhaps, linger around the capitol fol

Willard Fillmore's Platform against Secret SocIe-


Mlard Fillmore commenced his political career
in 1927 an Anti Mason. In 1928 he was the
Anti Masonic nominee for the Assembly from Erie
county The convention which nominated him was
held in Buffalo on the 18th of October. That con
vention issued an address which, according to the
Buffalo Courier, contained the following propositions
against Secret Societies. We commend them 10 the
attention at once of Masons and Know Nothings:
/, &C That large body of our citizens who do not
belong TO the order are mysterOusly influenced by
those who do.''
2. We honestly believe the spirit of Masonry
secret societles) to be essentially opposed to the
11ty Of the citizens, to the impartial administration
of the laws, and TO due reverence to religion"
g. 1.-The Institution is at ardr 1Cith the spirit of
our free government hostile to all equality of rights,
and an impossible barrier to the administration of
JUSTICE
A. "The equality of rights which the Consttu-
ton expressly guarantees cannot exist while Secret
Society shelters its members, and the aScendancy of
law and good order cannot be maintained in a COM
munity while extensive and an influential body
of men claim and exercise the power of imposing and
enforcing obligations which must often come into
direct collision with the laws and duties of society,"
5. &" Moral sentiment constitu les the only weapon
with which the strong hold of Masonry (secret soci-
etes) he assaed, and this engine, if properly
directed, will prove sufficient to battle down its bul.
warks, and expose to the gaze and derision of the
world the mystic mummery with trhlch 1t has shrouded
ats deceltfm and detestihe principles.
g. " 1t is vain TO temporize and palter with our du
ty. If We wish 10 destroy the baneful influence of
Masonry (secret societes) we must withhold our
vote from those who support it We frankly &C.
knowledge that in some personal and political
friendship render this duty painful and difficult to
perform, but, as honest and faithful citizens we are
bound to sacrifice predictions for individuals to
the safety and success of the important principles
we have espoused, and why should we starte at a
measure in defence of our rights, which our oppo.
nents have successfully used to usurp them They
are bound by oath "to cote for brother before anu
person Of equal qualcat1ons' and " to support his
military and political prefermen in opposition to an
other"
a." 1t is not necessary in sefdefence to resist this
alarming conspiracy Can shut our eyes to the
fact that ambitious and designing men have attached
Themselves 10 thtS institution to obtain that preferne,at
OF fshtch they 1cere undeserU1ng? When it shall be.
come we'll established that Masonry (secret societies.
have ceased TO afford its superior advantages for 20
litical Objects the great inducement that now sus
tains the institution will be lost.
