POLITICAL ITEMS.

The result Of the Pennsy lvania election will
be sad blow to the London Times
1t is stated that 1t. Gen. Winfield Scott has
declared his intention to vote for Buchanan.
There are two Fremonts. You can't tell
them apart. Don't vote for either; for you
don't know which may swear in .-Ak6any
ATguS.
The New York Courier, short time since,
informed the world that Col. Fremont had
left that city for a few days. Wonder where
he is He certainly is no achere in Pennsyl-
vania.
Hon. Rufus Choate positively declines the
nomination for Congress rendered to him by
the Democrats of the fourth district of Massa-
cbusetts. He says he declines solely on &C
count of his pressing private business.
Judge Alex. McKinstry, of the Mobile city
court, has come out for Buchanan. He was
the grand high priest Of Know Nothingism in
Alabama. His abandonment of the order has
excited the Mobile Know Nothings greatly.
He had been employed by the city councils, for
81 500, to codify the city laws-he had com.
menced the work-th Know Nothings tried to
get him to abandon the contract-he would
not-they then repealed the law authorizing
it to be made, and refused to pay for the same!
The New York Express says that the New
York Courier is vainly endeavoring to shake
from the Fremont party the responsibility of
the suggestive and disagreeable fact tn at Fred
Douglas raises the Fremont flag, that George
Renard 1.-THE black man who called George
Washington q scoundreD does the same thing,
and that the extreme Abolitionists 20 the same
way. The Courier has got among strange bed
fellows, but it is too late now to shake off res.
possibility for its revolutionary abolition com.
panionship.
The Detroit Free Press has intelligence that
in the Mackinaw representative district Mr.
Wendell, the Democratic candidate, is elected
by two hundred and fifty majority He was
violently opposed, but the Democratic triumph
is decisive. Thus, the whole delegation-One
Senator and three Representatives-from the
Upper Peninsula 10 Democratic-an event, we
think, that has never before occurred. From
every section of that county we have the ne.
surance that the Democratic majority in No
vember will be one thousand! This is glorious
Let the Lower Peninsula initiate tho noble ex-
ample.
The Mobile Register, abiding to meeting
in Mobile On the 9th of July, says: On the
evening of that day there was meeting OF

Ing the nominations for State Senator and
Representatives were announced. Or the vice

ton to support Mr.. Buchanan the two secre

one half, have, to use the polite phrase OF the

Collision in Chesapeake Bay between q
Steamer and brig the former sunk and
nine persons drowned

The Baltimore papers of this morning state
that about five o'clock on Tuesday morning, the
steamer Monmouth, bound to that port from
York river, was run into of the W olftrsp Light
by the brig Windward, thence for New Or
leans, by which she was completely disabled
The brig struck her amidships, carrying away
the larbOard wheel and wheel house, and dis
placing the shaft from it's position, besides
causing her to leak badly. The brig was also
injured, and her captain was obliged to put
her into Norfolk for repairs Finding that
he could not proceed, Capt Dansay, Of the
Monmouth, cut his anchors with view to wait
for the Gladiator, by which he hoped to be
lowed to New Point That steamer passed,
and was heard, but could not be seen but once
for a few minutes, in consequence of the thick.
ness of the atmos phere The boat lay at an
Choir al. day, and towards evening gale
arose. and it was soon discovered that she was
settling
The crew at once began to construct RATS as
the only hope Of safety, and before the steamer
Louisiana, from Norfolk, on her upward trip
reached her there was nothing visible but
portion of her upper works and the sea was
breaking over her Captain Russell deter.
mined to do everything possible for the suffer
ers, and deserving raft with a number of
persons on it despatched two of his boats to
their rescue. They had not proceeded far
when one of them swamped, but the other
kept up and was not long in saving eleven
persons which the raft contained Two other
RATS were overtaken one Of which held two
persons and the other one, all Of whom were
placed on deck of the Louisiana and properly
cared for.
At seven o'clock on Wednesday evening the
steamboat went down after lying at anchor for
thirty eight hours.
The following are supposed to have been
drowned James Davidson. Mrs Davidson
and two children, passengers; Matthias Mat
thews, steward William Woodland, cook;
Charles Phillips, coal HEAVIER, and Perry Ridg-
way, deck hand.
Capt Hewitt was last seen on q raft going
towards the sea and though he was supplied
with four blankets it is feared that he per-
ished. At the time of the collision, the brig,
it is said, had no lights out, as required by
law, nor was she seen until it was impossible
to escape from her. The Monmouth belonged
to a company Of planters ON the Pamunkey
river, and Is a total loss, there having been
no insurance on her. The officers made q
signal Of distress to those on board the light
boat, but no attention was paid to il

Congress result of Tuesdays elections
for members Of Congress shows past per ad

In view Of these now self evident facts the
candid and common sense reader will realize
the amount of bare-faced impudonce involved

session, in their system of opposition to is
