FRIDAY MORNING, MAY, %, 1850.
The late Luther Severance.

An interesting memoir of Hon. Luther Sew
erancc, which first appeared in the Kcnncbcc
journal, from the pen Of tho editor, Jas. &.
Blame, Esq has been put forth in n pamphlet
form. Mr.. Severance was the first editor of
that journal, and for 2j years, (from 1925 to
1850, he gave it high character. The last
fodr years Of active employment in his life
We're spent at the Sandwich Islands, as the
diplomatic representative of the UntedStates.
His conduct there was every way to his own
sent him there, and acceptable to the Govern
meut Of the Islands lie returned in feeble
health in 1854, and died in 1855. As an Ed
itor, a Representative in the State Legislature
and in Congress, he was noted as an able,
steady. and consistent upholder of what were
called Wing principles. 50 long as the Wing
party had any national vitality, he adhered
t. it. But when the southern Wings almost
unanimously joined the Administration party
in repeating tho Missouri Compromise, he
considered the Whig party, as national or
glniaation at an end. In December, 1854, n
month before his death, he published his sol
emn opinion that the former issues had gone
by. "ltis high time he said "that North
cyR mcn Should unitc, whether Wings, Demo-
Gratis, Know-nothings or Knowsomethings,
Froc-soilcrs or Liberty-men, to trample in
the dust every northern dough-facc who yield
ed his vote to this inquity, yiz; the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise, and then to take
care to make no more compromises on the
question Of Slavery, but to return infe2ibly
to the policy of Washingt ton, Franklin and JEFF
ferson: i. e. of limiting, restricting and finally
aholshinE slavery, instead of extending it
over the Continent TO do this ,rc must unite
cGeouoly wN those uho concur ,riM as, and
we must do it without delay. 1t is present
c1igcncy, more important at the moment than
any other political question"

is parson Ihachcr,' said they. And the par
SON felt Of the mans pulse, said he was not
dead, called for bandages, drew out II lancet,
bcd him, and in short time signs Of lilc APP
pcarod. All was soon over, and the man
recovered. The raising went on; the minis

home, knowing he had the ordination sermon
yet to finish As he came past Hunts, he
found that man waiting at the gate for him.
MIR. Thachcr,' said he, you've saved me
from an ugly quarrel, and thank you for it.
Nv wife wants you to accept OF leg of
bacon of her own curing; and if you'll wait
minute, I'll step in and get it. and put it in
your saddlc-hag.
So the bacon was brought and it took some
little time to get it into the saddlc-bag; but,
sermon or no sermon, such present must
not he refused. And parson Thacher trotted
on, hoping supper would be ready when he
got home. lie had to pass Noso's door, too,
and Nose, who was busy with something in
the yard, looked up and saw the minister,
and stopped him, that he might thank him
for his friendly Office in the quarrel While
they were talking, Mr. Thacher said
Mr.. Nose, may trouble you to hand me
Of my saddle bags-for Mrs. Hunt has given
me a leg of bacon that weighs them down
uncqually, and causes them to slip
Not |, indeed, parson Thacher,' said
Nose; I'll give you no stone but my vile

Just one minute, I'll step in and get one to
balance your saddle-bags.
The cheese was forthcoming in moment,
and slowed away, and parson Thacher CHR
rupcd on his horse and soon saw home. But
at the gate he was met by his wife with a
troubled cOuntCnance.
Here are Mr.. Mitchell and Mr.. Wales
come to stay all night, to go with you to-
morrow to the ordination, and I've nothing
in the world for supper but some eggs
Don't be troubled, my dear, said the
parson, and with that he pulled the ham and
the cheese out of the saddlebags, and was
about to step in and welcome his friends,
when the man of the aXletrec boarded him,
seemingly great deal out of patience.
Why, parson Thachcr, you've staid so
long, that it's too late for me to 90 on to-
night There was nobody else here to help
me, and so here am
Well, never mind, neighbor, you can
sleep here, and 20 on in the morning.
Ay, but | must be ready to start before
day, said the farmer, and the aXlctrec has
got to be mendcd tonight.
Mr.. Thachcr saw there was nothing for it
but to help the poor man after his own
fashion SO he called for the lantern, put up
his horse, helped the man in with the axle
tree ate his supper, performed the family
devotions. saw all his guests safely slowed
away for the night, and then sat down and
finished his ordination sermon. And so en-
ded parson Thachcrs Day.
The old lady looked ut the young clergy
man; but he did not speak, lie wore a very
sad countenance, and very soon taking up his
tall iron candlcstick, went musingly to bed.

Terrible ExPLosroS of a steam boiler in
the distllcry works of Cyrus Edison Il CO.,
Albany took place on the 18th inst, The
machinery was torn to pieces, the buildings
mostly demolished, and fragments Of mate
rias and Of human bodies were scattered in
all directions.
The remains Of Cyrus Elson, the owner
were found in the second story OF the dstil-
lcry, sixty feet north OF the boilcr-room,
between the braces under a steep tub. with a
portion of his face cut off, one boot off his
loot, the sole of the other carried off, and his
body horribly mansIod. Of the head moth
ing remained but his jaw bone, The body
was only Unidentified by a ring upon his finger
and this indentilicaton was made by his
brother, partner in the business.
George Henderson, the engineer, was so
lisigured and cut to pieces that he was only
recognized by his clothing
James Donnivan, laborer on the works ;
his head and legs were severed from his body,
Among the rubbish was found leg for
which no owner could be found, and it is
feared that its body was carried into the
river.
Daniel Roylc, a plummer in the employ Of
Peter Smith " Sons, was badly scalded,
blown into the river, but was rescued from
drowning, His arm was broken.
Phelix McCafrey, in the employ of the
same firm, was also badly scaldcd, and was
found with his pants and boots stripped off.
Tho boiler was II new one of fifty horse
power. 1t was supposed from the evidence
given, that the water had been allowed to
/ cet too low in the boiler and hence the ex-
/ llosion.

THREE DAYS LATER rEoH ErNorG.--1hc roy
al mail steamship Asia, Capt. Lott, from
Liverpool Sd inst, arrived at New York,
May 10th Tho news by this arrival uu-
important, but the Official report Of the
proceedings Of the Congress of Paris had
come to hand. The report adds little to our
previous knowledge. The most interesting
feature Of the business took place after the
treaty was signed, in the shape Of an inter-
change Of opinions on subjects Of European
interest. Count Walcwski invited the as
scmblcd plcnipotentiares to this interchange
Of sentiment, and himself went over the
ground, referring to the disturbed condition
Of Greece and Italy, and recommending that
suggestions to ruc more mildly should be
conveyed to the Italian governments In
this recommendation tho Planipotnntiarios
more or less heartily agreed. Count Cayour,
on behalf Of Sardinia, demanded that sacu-
lar government be established in the Roman
Legation, and that the Austrian troops be
withdrawn, inasmuch as their presence in
Italy disturbs the political equilibrium, and
constitutes Il real danger for Sardinia. T Is
speech led to some sharp words between the
Austrian and Sandman representatives,, but
it ended in nothing. While on these sub
iects, Count Waewski threw out Il cunning
bait to cntrap the Congress into n measure
of repression against the Belgian Press but
Lord Clarendon refusing in cold terms to
lend the influence Of England to any measure
tending to check freedom of opinion, II.
Waewski backed out Of the proposal in the
best manner he could. The plenipotcntiarise
then discussed and assentcd to a new dcclara-
ton of maritime law, agreeing that neutral
flag shall make free cargo, except contraband
Of war ; shall be free even under an encmys
flag that blockades, to be respected, must
be effective and that prvatcering is forever
abolished. To these important principles
the plenipotentiaries gave the adhesion Of
their governments, Russia qualifying her as
sent in the matter Of priyateering.

debate on Mr.. Whitesides vote Of censurc
on the government for the fall Of kurs, had

note of the latter is exceedingly sharp. lie

the matter, he will take all further means in
his power to avert farther danger

These things should be remembered and f:cqucnt-

draw their attention off from the greatest
issue which has ever been before the Amer
lean people, the very end in view being, if
the voters can be lulled to sleep, to bring
Kansas in as a slave State. The southern
papers make no such lying statements as the
above. They say, boldly Kansas shall be a
slave State, peaceably if it may be, but forci-
