Frightful Accident at OsWegO.

A dreadful calamity occurred at Os-
wego, N. Y, on Wednesday evening
last, at st. Mary's Catholic church. A
series OF mission meetings had been
held in the church, and on the evening
in question an overwhelming audience
had assembled, to listen to a discourse
on the subject of the " Last Judgment"
The church was literally packed with
people. The exercises of the evening
had just commenced, or were about to
commence, when about one-third of the
floor, Immediately in front of the altar,
gave way from the immense weight,
and fell to the basement, precipitating
about one-third of the audience in an
indiscriminate mass into the abyss be-
low. The scene that ensued is des-
cribed as most agonizing. The groans,
shrieks, prayers and supplications of
the mass of human beings thus thrown
in a confused heap in the chasm below,
as well as the the horror-stricken mass
beside, in the other part of the house,
was awful beyond description. Those
who were uppermost in the precipitated
mass, struggling to escape by climbing
up and over each other, trampling un-
der foot those beneath. A universal
panic seized the whole of the assem-
blage instantly. A terrific rush was
made by those on that part of the floor
rot fallen, to escape from the house,
amid the shrieks and groans of those
being trampled under foot. Besides a
large number injured, four of the audi
ence were killed, and it is feared that
others, will die of their injuries.

We;have had frequent occasion re-
GENTLY to speak of the success of the
Atlantic Monthly. We have been
prompted to do this from an honest
bride at the accomplishment, not only
Of our own, but, we believe, Of a ma
tional desire. to see our periodical lit
erature indicated from the charge our
English brethren have so often brought
against it, that it cannot ascend above
the level of love-sick stories and senti-
mental poetry, because our reading
public can appreciate nothing better.
Many an attempt has been made to
establish something similar to the high
toned periodicals of England, and as
often as each attempt has failed, the
voice of exultation from the English
press has been loud, and the cry raised
that we can't do it. We'll do we re-
member this when Putnam's Monthly
was compelled to give way, in which
we thought we had found refutation
of the established English opinion in
regard to us. But we can now safely
boast of triumph, as the Atlantic
Monthly has attained a circulation of
AZ, 900, nearly double that ever reached
by Putnam's, and is placed upon a sure
basis, its publishers being among the
most enterprising in our country, and
have been actdated to a considerable
degree, in the establishment of the
Atlantic, by the same notifying fact
we refer to, that our American litera-
ture had no true exponent. The many
expressions of favor and and we'll
wishes received the past year from
their subscribers, prove that they too
have given their support to the Attain
tic from a determination that our coun-
try, in spite of British misgivings, shall
have periodical of its own, not only
equal, but even superior, to any of
those published in England And moso
the English press have honestly admit
ted that we have such a periodical, for
the London Critic and -4then9una have
been lavish of their praise the past few
months. The " Autocrat" has been
re-published monthly in London, as it
appeared in the Atlantic, calling forth
golden opinions and the confession that
their own periodicals have contained
nothing so brilliant since the " Noctes
Ambrosiana."
At the present time two different
houses in London monthly re.publish
the Minister'S Wooing," by Mrs. HI.
B. Stowe, and its circulation there
almost exceeds the same here. We
have heard it stated that the editors
have received and approved, mp to the
present time, sufficient material from
American authors to furnish several
numbers fully equal to any that have
yet appeared. The April number is
looked for as one Of the very best yet
issued. We repeat again, that in
chronicling the success of the Atlantic,
we are expressing national feeling of
something more than pleasure, that we
have at last accomplished our desires,
and that our literature has such an
ornament as the Atlantic Monthly
Boston Gazette.

as is well known by every one at all
conversant with the principles of the
Republican party. Now let us for a
moment examine the statement that the
&c Republicans opposed her because she
excluded negroes" and see if they
were not equally consistent in their
opposition on this ground. The pro-
vision of the Oregon Constitution to
which a majority of the Republican
members of Congress objected is as
follows
ssNo free negro or mulatto, not resi-
ding in this State at the time of the
adoption of this Constitution, shall ever
COME, reside, or 6e,within this State, or
hold any real estate, or make any con-
tract, or MAINTAIN ANY SUIT therein.
And the Legislative Assembly shall
provide by penal law for the removal
by public. officers of all such free ne
groes and mulattoes, and for their
effectual exclusion from the State, and
for the punishment of persons who
shall bring them into the State, or en-
ploy or harbor them therein"
This was the section which caused
the Republican members of Congress
to vote against the admission of Oregon
whose constitution contained it, and
can any one assail them for refusing to
sanction by their votes so cold-blooded
and inhuman a provision. 1t was not
question of negro equality or Unequal
ity at all, but one of common and or
binary humanity.
"This section of the Oregon Consti-
tuition, says Mr.. Cochran, in his speech
on the admission of Oregon, out-Herods
Herod. 1t leaves the decision in the
bred Scottcase great distance behind.
Excluding the dicta; and that decision
simply holds that a negro is not a citi-
zen of the United States, and cannot
therefore sue in the Federal courts.
But this section provides that free men,
and citizens, in several of the States,
shall have no standing in State court. u
cit is provision that makes it in
finitely better for any man, whether
white or black, to be slave, than an
outlaw and an outcast, pursued, hunted,
and homeless, without country, security,
or friends; excluded from the courts,
driven from the soil, and cast, mere
worthless waif, out upon the ocean of
life, exposed to every storm and smitten
by every wave. 1t is an example that
needs but to be universally followed,
and you have driven this portion of our
race from the face of Gods earth-ban-
ished and branded as having been born
into the world as so many trespassers;
and this by system of Legislation
commenced and inaugurated by the
model Republic in the declining half OF
the nineteenth century-a Republic
which its founders declared should for
ever stand rs an asylum for the outcasts
and oppressed of all lands"

sons Killed.
We learn from the Detroit Adverti-
ser, of Monday, that a terrible accident
occurred on the Great Western Rail
Road on Saturday Morning last, be-
tween one and two O'Clock. The acct
dent occurred about mile cast of
Flamboro Station, and some ten miles
from Hamilton. The train consisted of
the engine, baggage, one second and
two first class passenger cars, and one
sleeping car, all of which were thrown
down an embankment of some fifty
feet-except the sleeping car, which
remained on the track-and Literally
smashed to atoms. 1t appears that the
line had been washed away by the fu-
rious equinoxtial storm, which was then
raging in all its violence, and the snow
was falling in perfect masses. The
chasm caused by the washing away of
the track being as long as three or four
passenger cars. Into this gully the
locomotive rushed headlong, completely
burying itself in the soil; next came the
baggage car, then the second class car,
and the first class passenger cars, the
sleeping car being the only one which
remained upon the track, and this had
corner carried away by the car which
had preceded it. The groans of the
wounded and the dying, the kissing
steam from the engine, the fury of the
storm, and the other surroundings. con-
spired to make the catastrophe even
more horrible than that at Desjardin's
bridge. As soon as the accident oc-
CURED, the uninjured so soon as they
were able to collect their scattered
senses, set themselves at work, to succor
the wounded and the dying. Assistance
was sent for to Hamilton which soon
arrived, when the following were found
to have been instantly killed: George
Morgan. the engineer of the train,
hamilton, G. W.; Alexander Braid, of
Hamilton; VIM. Milne, Breakman, and
Jones Boyer, a German, from Ohio. 1t
is said that two others have since died,
making six in ALL
LATER.-The express train due at
l:3o P. M, yesterday, did not arrive
until half-past FIVE o'clock last evening.
The conductor of the train reports, that
four gravel trains are at work, filling
up the gap, and that the probability is,
the track will be laid tomorrow so that
trains can pass without difficulty, and
that he knew of but six persons being
killed. Two persons, one passenger
and the other fireman, but whose
names we could not learn, having died
since the accident occurred.

prepared by Fleming Bros, Pittsburgh,

sible Family Medicine. The frightful
SYMPTOMS which arise from a diseased
Liver manifest themselves, more or less
in every family I; dyspepsia, sick head
ache, obstruction of the menses, ague
and fever, pains in the side, with dry,
hacking cough, are all the results of
hepatic derangement-and for these
DIR. M'Lane's Pills are sovereign rem
Iedy. They have never been known to
fail, and they should be kept at all times
by families.
DIREcTIONs.-Take two or three 90
ing to bed, every second or third night.
If they do not purge two or three times
by next morning, take one or two more.
A slight breakfast should invariably
follow their use.
The Liver Pills may also be used
where purging is simply necessary. As
an anti-bilious purgative, they are infer
Tor to none. And in doses of two or
three, they give astonishing relief to
sick headache /; also in slight derange-
ments of the stomach. -

They Stand by the People.

Upon every measure introduced into
Congress during it's late session, the
Republicans alone have presented an
unbroken front upon the side of the
people. A single instance cannot be
named, wherein this was not the fact.
Upon the Tariff revision question, in
opposition to the Cuban purchase
scheme, upon the Harbor and River
appropriation bills, in favor of free
homes upon the unsold, and unappro-
priated national domain, for all the
necessary and judicious expenses of
government, they are with the people.
But pre-eminently above all other meas
ures stands their united opposition to
the proposed increase of the rates of
postage. While the Democracy were
trying to fill depleted Treasury by
increasing the postal rates-by thus
imposing direct tax upon the masses
of the people-the Republicans stood
firm against the unjust measure and
defeated it. This act alone is worth
more to the masses than all the abstrac-
tions of the Democracy. In this as in
all other questions of public interest,
the Republican party stands by the
people.

MORE ABOUT THURsToN.-TheA dri-
an Wdtchto,cer says that in addition to
the evidence afforded by the papers
found in the pockets of the clothes, Mr..
J. Cross, who sold the watch to Mr..
Thurston, has examined it, and knows
it by the number. The watch does
not seem to be injured, except that it
is rusted. Mr.. Cross has charge of it,
and will clean it and put it in order
when it will be presented to Miss
Thurston, for whom it was purchased.
The papers and memorandum book
having been saturated with water for
so long time, are of course nearly
destroyed, but they remain sufficiently
perfect so that much of the writing is
distinct. The letter was from Little &
Co., of Philadelphia, and is dated July
26, 1853. But few of the bones were
found, and all of them are in fragments.
The skull is nearly entire, but the right
parietal is crushed and a portion is
gone. A portion of one of the thigh
bones of the forearm, five or six inches
in length, were the largest bones taken
to Adrian. There are besides several
bones of the spine. The bones of the
right leg, and the foot, found with the
boot on, were so offensive that they
were buried near where the remains
were found, about four miles southeast
of Sylvania, on the farm of Mr.. Miner.
