Four Hundred Lives Lost.

MONTREAL, MoDnay Nov. 7, 1859.
The following is taken from The Liv
erpool Daily Post of the 9th October:
The public will learn this morning
with over shelming grief, that the splen-
did vessel, the Royal charter. was to-
tally lost yesterday, in Mutfa Red Bay,
near Bangor. The melancholy intelli
gence, which reached Us late last night,
was brief, but we fear it is only too true
that o: upward of 400 persons who were
on board, ooly ten are said to have been
saved. There is some hope, however,
that this is ar exaggeration, but under
any circumstances the loss of life it is to
be feared, has been umense. The Roy
al Charter had about half million OF
gold on board, when the disaster took
place. The particulars are not known,
as the telegraph had ceased to work, and
90 destructive bad been the storm aloDs
the coast yesterday, that the Chester and
Birkenhead Railway had been destroyed
in two places. AT Penmanawe, twenty
Of the dead bad been washed ashore
The Bay in which the catastrophe occur
ed is two or three miles to the WESTWARD
of Putin Island in Anglesea, and six Of
seven miles to the north west of Beauma
ris. 1t has shallow, sandy beach fo
several miles, with promontories at eacl
end of the bay. The country around i
wild and few houses are about.

The Difference.

When Senator Sumner vas so brutaiIy
assaulted, Democrats said " he got what
he deserved" When Kansas was inva-
ded by border ruffians. aud life aud prop
erty vas merciiessly destroyed, Demo-
Gratis applauded aud defended them
When Gov. Wise threatened to march to
Washington, take possession OF the public
archives, aud prevent the Inauguration
of Republican, President the choice Of
the people-Democrsts thought not OF
treason, but said be would DO right
Blind parlisanship prevented an honest
express on of manly feeling, and bold
condemnation by the Democrats of any
one and all Of these outrage; and when
Osaw atomic Brown, upon whom untold
wrong vas Inflicted, made an insane ef-
tort to abolish slavery, Democrats ezpec-
ted every Republican voice to be raised
in his defense; but the Republican party
is differently cons tituted. No bliId par
tsan devotion prohibits condemnation
Of wrong, whatever n,ay be the proVoca-
ton or its character The difference /:
this:-Dem ocrats defend Democrats only
Republicans defend truth and justice
Democrats condemn only those opposed
to their party, Republicans condemn
wrong wherever it may be found. The
one is party of slaves, cringing to slave
ry; the other party de7oted TO freedom
and acting like freemen.

KEPBLICAKIsM TINE REMEDY FOR THE SLAVERY
AGIrArIox.-A large slave owner and COTTON
planter at the South writes to the New York
Courier and Enquirer that the spirit Of disunion
10 found solely among those who are kept in
ignorance by their leaders. whose political ex-
istsnce depends upon slavery agitation. The
remedy he proposes for slavery agitation SOUNDS
oddly in contrast with the ou.csies coming from
the politicians Of the saHe section. but it is
based on sound sense and correct philosophy
and. If the Republicans take the Administration
Of The Government in 1860, We expect TO sec
it verified. He says:-
Z" am more than ever convinced of the truth
Of what told you last Summer, Wig. that very
large majority, / think four 6tths, of the South.
ern people never desired the repeal OF the Mis-
souri, Compromise, and that quite as large a
proportion Of them do not wish to see the insti-
luton o. slavery extended into Free Territory.
What they do desire 10 to see this slavery tx-
element broughs to an end II had its origin
Ia The repeal Of the Missouri Compromise, aud
agree uith..you that il viii never cease until the
Republican party gets possession Of the Governs
meat and proves BY its acts thas is 10 conservative

right by the throat.
Says the Richmond Enquirer:
"Let us establish strict espionage over all

Replies the Patriot:
"whatever you may do with visitors from

Again the Enquirer:
"Les us prepare for Dsunion; not precip-

The Patriot:
"Listen to this cold blooded exhortation, ye

The Enquirer:
"He Governor Wise) is the political leader

school in politics"
Replies the Patriot: ~'
1--WE should think so. Does Mr.. Wise seel
to outrun the traitor Brown! We sincerely
hope not He had better ponder over Catalina
Calhoun's prudence"
The Enquirer again:
"In the event of disunion, il We are wary
and prudent, the dividing line will run hun
dred and fifty miles north OF Mason and Dixon's
and of the Ohio"
The Patriot patriotic:
"Never with the consent of old Maryland
