day night and Saturday morning thirteen
mails from Chicago were delivered at the

and Buffalo the main obstruction was on the
track about two miles eastof Batavia. The
snow had drifted into cut which was about
fifteen feet deep, and piled up above it so
that the telegraph wires were buried. The
drift was nearly one hundred rods long, and
was about as solid as a sandbank. 1t was
necessary to dig It out by excayating, SO

when ,sPposite West Columbia, on Thurs
day morning last. burst her starboard boiler
Instantly scalding and otherwise injuring
fourteen persons, among whom was, the
Captain, E. O lIaalett. The boat was i'm
mediately landed. and the sufferers kindly
cared for by the ciIizens Of West Columbia
Medical aid was soon in attendance, andcy-
cry effort was made for the relief Of the dis
tressed, but, without avail; death soon re-
lieying ten of the unfortunate beings of their
intense suffering. The cause of this dread
ful casualty is unaccounted for; there being,
according to the engineers statement, an
unusual quantity of waterin the boilers, and
carrying only between 10 and 1870 pounds
ofsteam at the time Of the explosion. Full
and accurate, accounts of the disaster have
not yet been learned; So far as we heard are
as follows: Capt E. G.. Haslett, includ-
ing nine Others, names not known, badly
stalded, all have since died. first clerk bad
y bruised and slightly scalded; first en-
gineer, foot badly scalded; Captains son,
foot bruised; bar-keeper, head badly injured
Great praise is due our physicians and 9TH
ers forrepairing Immediately to the scene of
suffering and administering to the wants of
the sufferers. The boat was considerably
disabled; she has been towed to Cincinnati
to undergo repairs. 1 "

WHEREAS, The original policy our coun-
try contemplated no extension of slavery
beyond The limits Of slave, States, and no
increase of the number of such States; and
whereas, experience has sufficiently proved
that every departure from that policy has
been productive Of evil, and Of evil only;
and whereas, by the repeal Of the slavery
prohibition Of the Missouri Compromise the
whole question of slavery in its relations to
the Union, the States and the Territories,
has been re-opened; and whereas, the peo-
pie of Kansas, deprived Of the protection Of
that prohibition, and despoiled by armed in
vasion Of their undoubted right to elect their
own representatives, have teen compelled
10 choose between the alternatives ofresort
TO the inherent right of every community,
in the absence Of valid laws, to provide for
its own safety and good order, or submis-
sion to the unauthorized edicts Of preten
ded Legislature, seeking to compel the ad-
mission of slavery by appointing its own
creatures to all territorial Offices, whether
executive or judicial, and by imposing such
restrictions upon the right Of suffrage at
future elections, as will exclude the oppo-
ncnts of slavery from the polls; and where-
as, the people Of Kansas properly adopting
the former, have proceeded to elect adele
gate to Congress, and to form for themselves
State Constitution, with view to appli-
cation for admission into the Union; and
whereas, in the Judgment Of this General
Assembly, it is the duty Of the Federal
Government, and Of the people of the sew
eral States, 10 unite their efforts to save the
territory Of Kansas from the renewal Of civil
tumult, and from the farther shedding Of
blood. Be it therefore \. AAe .s..
