In the dark benighted ss Political Egypt" of
Dubuque, we yesterday met the Bogus Democracy
at the polls-not only were there, the Democrats
to the Manor born, and our adopted citizens but
two hundred and sixty more were created for the
occasion. In our former State elections, where
party lines were drawn, the Democrats have, in
this town, given two votes to our one-by the
same pyo-rata vote the Bogus Democrats yes
terday, should have obtained majority of about
seven hundred; the vote being about two thou
sand, and the largest ever taken here---we were
willing to concede to them FIVE or six hundred,
but they freely offered bets on EIGHT HUNDRED.
The vote was taken the Bogus Democratic
apologists for slavery voted the 260 Americans,
made for the occasion, voted-the votes were can
vassed, and, don't be astonished dear reader, the
canvassers announced that the Bogus vote, (old
and new,) gave to Slavery and the Buchanitcs the
enormous majority Of a0l. Thus showing that
at our first election, after the nomination of Bu-
chanan, we have cut down their pro-rata majority
in this town, nearly four hundred Uotes. aie9
We have some 400 Republicans who could not
vote with us yesterday, but who will have been
here their six months, prior to the November cleo
tion. and who viii. then vote with US. On the
Ides Of November. we the Republican electors of
the hitherto dark and benighted Dubuque, will as
Freemen, reach out her hand and our electoral
vote to the ot:er counties Of the State, to no.
ble Free Republican brethren at the East.
We felt little sore and wearied yesterday,
came home from the poll in bad spirits, fearing a
majority against us Of some 600-our opponents
| claiming some SOO-but to-day we are all right,
in body and spirit, perfectly satisfied that we
have reduced that majority to Sol. ... q III.
Particulars of the Rescue Of a Husband and Wife
from the Northern Indiana-Sad loss Of their Boy.
e., From the Buffalo Express. Z -1 Ii
The following particulars Of the rescue of DR..
L. H. Carey, Jr., and wife, of Greenbush, Wis,
who were on board the steamer Northern Indiana,
together with little son, at the time of her taking
fire, are gathered from them since their rescue.
DR.. Carey had been on a visit with his family to
his father, Luther h. Carey, who resides at Bos-
ton in this county. DR.. Carey studied his profess
This statement is not without interest to many of
"When tho fire broke out, they were in the
after part of the boat, which was Immediately
envel0ped in flames. They tried to get to the for
| ward part of the steamer, but were unable to do
so. He (Dr. Carey) then told his wife to blow up
her life -preserver, but it leaked. His also was
useless. He and the steward then threw over
some boxes, until the flames burst out upon them.
The steward then told them to take to the water
for their lives He (Dr. Carey) then threw off one
end of large coil of rope and told his wife to
get down on it as soon as he should jump in. He
pulled of his hat. coat and boots, and took his
little boy on his back. The little boy was not at
all frightened, but turned to his mother and said,
sMother, am afraid for you.: These were the
last words he ever uttered. Eto.,.t-'..
He then jumped into the lake, and when he
sank the boy held him so tightly by the neck that
on raising to the surface he could not breathe.
They sank twice. He saw that they were both
drowning, and he loosened the boys arms and the
boy slipped from him. When they came up he
thinks some one jumped upon them, for he was
stunned, and never saw any thing more of his
child. He then swan to brace and rested there
a little time, when large Irish woman siezed
hold of him, and came near drowning him. He
swan from there to the wheel where he stayed
till the fire poured upon him so that he had to
leave. He then swan forward so as to get around
upon the opposite side of the boat, for the small
boats could not get to that side Of the boat on
account of the fire. There was an explosion as
he got most forward, which came near killing
him; his clothes and hair contained considerable
lead which had melted and fallen upon him.
After an hours struggling he succeeded in reach
ing the other side of the boat, and was picked up
almost unconscious. tt' -f ,a ::
Mrs. Carey clung to the rope until she saw a
man near her with floating fender. She asked
him to let her take hold of the other end of it.
He told her she must. not. She told him that it
would hold both Of them. He replied that it
would not and that she must not take hold Of it.
She said that it would hold them both and that
she should take hold Of it. She sprang for it and
laid bold of the other end. She was in the wa.
ter nearly an hour, They were the last that were
picked up. Mrs. Carey was somewhat burned,
and was injured some in being drawn into the
boat. 1t was SO hot where she was that she had
to dive her head and arms under water to keep
alive" - ...i i'ia.t sass 81 f..i5 ~ -
Since the above was written we have learned
that the body of one of the children picked up
near the scene of the catastrophe, and brought to
this city for interment has been recognized by the
bereaved friends as that of DR.. Carey's son. The
parents have the melancholy qualification of
knowing that the remains of their lost one repose
in quiet grave, instead of drifting unseen and
unburied at the sport of wind and wave. : =. :
