THE st. Louis Democrat expresses the
hope that the wife Of Capt. CLINE, who died
Of the injuries suffered on the St. Nicholas,
may have escsped the wasery grave to which
the early reports Of the catastrophe consigned
her. 1t is thought she may have been
amongst the number rescued by the yawl Of

DKcLKED.-Lieut. Governor Faville per-
emptorily declines q denomination. He

CT The Louisville Journal quotes and
comments upon disunion threat Of the New
Orleans Delta, based upon the presumption
OF the election OF Republican President, in
terms of just and patriotic severity. The
following is the closing paragraph Of the ed
itorial:
The Democracy, after twenty-five years
agitation Of the slavery question for party
purposes, have succeeded in sectionnlixinr
their party and nearly the whole South, and
also in kicking the North with nearly equal
unanimity into another sectional party. At
ter the accomplishment Of this national mis-
chief and the destruction OF their once pow
erful party, in Q pernioious contest which
they themselves had the folly to invite and
provoke, they have now the efrontery to pro-
claim that they will not submit to defcat.-
Rather than submit to having abused power
wrenched from their corrupt hands, they say
they will break up the Union, and are avow.
eddy preparing for that assault. We guess
that the people of Kentucky, Tennessee, and
Missouri viii teach these gentry that they
have word to say on that subject, and that
the Union is not to be destroyed upon such
shallow pretexts, and never without their per-
mission.

WASHINGTON, April %.
The Jefferson celebration here has organ.
ICED new and important movement in con-
nection with the anti-slavery enterprise. A
Jefferson Club has been formed here, and
measures taken to multiply them in Mary
land, Virginia and the border slave States
generally. The meeting called here to form
such club was fully attended, and it's pro.
ceedings were spirited. Montgomery Blair,
late Judge Of the Court OF Claims, spoke an
hour at the meeting, and be is to be presi-
dent Of the club. 1t is proposed that the OBJ
ject Of these clubs shall be to circulate JEFF.
ferson doctrines in reference to slavery and
the politics of the country. They will advo-
cate genuine Democracy, and while they
will refrain from arguing the question Of
slavery 10 its moral aspects, they will every
where advocate emancipation upon economi-
cal grounds. Already men have joined the
club in Washington, who have held aloof
from any Republican organization, yet who
will eventually be found acting in concert
with the Republicans, for their sympathies.
In short, these clubs will occupy about the
same position A. the emancipationists Of Mis-
souri, have occupied for three or four years
past. The movement is looked upon here a.
. very important one, and though the unbe-
lieving may laugh, dozen years may aston
ish them with ito results. A gentleman con-
nected with the new club tells me that he
could get FIVE hundred voters in Washington
to join the clubs to-day. This fact, IL It be
one, shows the wonderful progress Of anti
slavery sentiment in the border slave States.

The census Of Oregon, says the Statesman.
in the the main pretty fully taken during the
past years, the poll-lists, and the vote cast
at our elections, do not permit tho belief
that there are to exceed $1,000 or Al 900
