Gov. CHASE or THE UN1oN.-Gov. Chase, of
Ohio, in reply to Mayor Swami, at a grand ban
quet to the western visitors recently given by
the city of Baltimore, said:
lyon have spoken eloquently, sir, of railroads
rs bonds of union, and your observations were
as just as they were eloquent No man CONVEX
SAINT with railroads can be disunioniSt. The
social intercourse which they foster, the ties of
business which they create, the mutual depcn-
dence which they establish and exhibit make
diSunion impossible. There must, of course,
be differences of opinion some points. Real
grievances may from time to time demand re-
dress. But there is no evil of which disunion is
the proper cure. And the more we see of each
other, the less likely shall VIC be TO commit the
error of thinking otherwise. The fact is that
we who live along the line of the American
Central railway don't mean to let the Union be
broken up. Maryland will not consent to it, |
think. | trust Virginia will not Ohio 1 am
sure, will not. Nor Indiana. nor Illinois, nor
Missouri Who then, willp No, sir. We may
differ hcnceforth, as we have done heretofore.
We will maintain our respective opinions and
positions with candOr, courtesy, iirmness and
resolution. And we will refer whatever QueS-
ton may be between US TO the great American
tribunal of popular discussion and popular
Judgment. But in time to come, as in the time
past, we cleavc to the Union as our ark of ref
ugc, and, under God, our snrest guaranty of
prosperity and power and abiding glory"

SUMMARY.


Ar the late Democratic State Convention IN
Ohio, the regular series of resolutions reported
by the platform committee endorse the admins
tration Of Mr. Buchanan, sustain the bred Scott
decision, go in for squatter sovereignty, etc.
They also dcnouncc the State Treasurers, Brcs-
lin and Gibson, for their corrupt cmbczzlcment
of the public money, and declare them both
deserving of being incarccratc,l in the penitcn-
tiarY.
Sixty acres of Mediterranean wheat, of this
wear, in Hamilton county, Ohio, average thir-
ty-five bushels to the acre. The Cincinnati Ga
sette says the entire wheat crop of the Miami
country this season will average full twenty
five bushels to the acre. 1t is all harvested.
AN institution has just been established III
Boston, called the blouse Of the Fallcu."--
Rooms have been fitted up and placed in charge
of Mr.. Ruby, where it is proposed to care prop
crly for drunken men, and to induce them il

than prisons for all such.
TmE emigration from Europe to the United
States this year seems likely to be nearly, il

thousand and fOrty-fivc passengers, the greater
portion Of whom are emigrants, arrived ut New
York on Wednesday, from different ports o.
Europe.

RAvAGEs OF YELLOW FEVER on BoATD WEST
INDIA SrEAMERs.-The yellow fever, as sc see
by our English files by the Persia, is making
dreadful ravages on board the West India and
southampton Mail steamers. For example the
"Clydc," which, not long since, left Kingston,
(Jam., )lor St Thomas, to connect there with the
HOrinoco, i" had eight deaths on the voyage, (of
four days only,) with great many dangerously
sick. The ship is spoken of ms a model of
cleanliness, and her commander and officers I'M

so that the pestiIcncc is not to pc attributed Ell
Their to dirt or neglect, which but too often
causes mortality at sea. Wien the passengers
were transhiped into the 0rinoco at St Thomas
it was hoped that thcpestilencc was left behind.
Quite the contrary for without going into the
distressing details ofeach day Is mortality, it may
be stated that, outofseventy five cases attacked,

by the way, died in few hours sail of South

three; or, to spread the number of deaths over
the time of the voyage, i: would be about two
daily. This is very alarming state of matters,
more particularly when one takes into occount-
that all the cases were young vigorous men. all
about the age of 90. The Dee
other vessel on the same line, had lost ten pas
sengers by the PcstteDce.
