About o'clock on Saturday morning the 9Th
inst.' the Schooner Oswego, came in collision
with the Steamer Lady Elgin, on Lake Michi-
gan, when about ten miles from shore, sinking
her In about twenty minutes after the collision.
The Lady Elgin was from Milwaukee, had been

Among the lost are many Of the leading citizens
of Milwaukee.

~An exultant Douglas paper saws:

Mr.. Douglas creates an immense sensation in
his tour through Georgia. He is said to have
addressed an audience Of twenty thousand the
other day. His friends and his enemies down
there are transported-thef former with delight,
the latter with fury.
Now put along side OF this the fact that Mr..
DOUGLAS has not been in Georgia at all, and you
have fair sample of tie manner in which all
this enthusiasm for DOUGLAS is got up. Like the
milk sickness" it is always in the next county
or next state.

Ex-Lieut Gov. Ford, of Ohio, who the
Loco papers said had come out for DOUGLAS, is
making speeches again. He has come out for
DOUGLAS, true edough, but It's to expose that
little mans dishonesty, un6tness for the post
he aspires to, and the transparent humbugry of
his "Squatter Sovereignty" doctrine. They are
looming out for DOUGLAS" in the same way all
over the Union, and when the election returns
are received, DOUGLAS himself, will be found to
have "come out"-at the little end of the horn.

DOUGLAS AND FALsHooD.-DoUGLAs, in his
speech at Concord, related, what he pretended
was conversation had with President BucHAS-
AN, relative to the removal from office of his,
DOUGLAS friends in a certain event. Ex-Gov.
SMITH, of Va, sent to BUCHANAN that portion OF
Mr.. Us speech, and asked him to say whether
he was truly represented there in. MIR. BucuAS-
An replies:
Surely there must have been some mistake
In the report of the speech, because l never
held any such conversation with Judge Doug
las, nor any conversation whatever affording
the least color OF pretext for such statement.
1t was not in my nature 10 address such threat
ening and insulting language TO any gentleman.
Besides, have not removed one in ten of his
friends, and not one of his relatives. Even
among those of his friends who have rendered
themselves prominently hostile to the measures
of the Administration majority still remain in
office.
81 might add that have never held a politi-
cal conversation with Judge Douglas on this or
any other subject since the day my first Annn-
al Message of the Sth December, 1858, was read
in the Senate; and l did not transmit the Kan
sas Constitution to Congress until the I'd Feb
ruary, 1856, the question of slavery not having
been decided by vote of the people until Dist
December, 1857.
Now, my dear sir, in writing thus to you l
have transgresseda rule which l had prescribed
for myself not to contradict any statements as
sailing my public conduct and character until
after the conclusion of my term of office. A
statement, however, comes with such force from
Senator of the United States, who is one of
my Constitutional advisers, and this, too. in a
mn nnhliShad spaeoh delivered by him in his cnn =
vass for the highest elective office in the world
that l deem the present case a proper exccp-
ton. "Yours, very respectfully.
"JANEs BUCHANAN.
Hon. WILLIAM SMITH"
No man can read the letter without feeling IN
honest indignation at candidate for President
who will thus coolly and deliberately f.lsify
the truth.
So far from the President removing the
friends of DOUGLAS from office, his own father
in-law, holds the place of ID Comptroller of the
Treasury with salary of $4,000 per annum-
his brother-in-law, Mr.. GEORGE, that of Record
er of the General Land Office, with salary of
$4,000 per annum, and his friends in Ohio, as
well as elsewhere. hold majority of the offices,
and SO bitter and indignant are they, that their
removal has been demanded by the supporters
of the Administration as an act of justice, and
the late Convention OF the Democracy of Ohio,
which assembled at Columbus on the 7th of Au-
gust, made the retention of these bitter and un-
scrupulous enemies of the Administration, the
subject matter of a resolution.

Joe Blundell again attempted to make a
speech, but was howled down; subsiding
after an obstinate struggle with the multi
tude. In spite of the best efforts of Ben
Robinson, it was some time before the
Chair could be prevailed upon to cease his
Intellectual supplications for order for and
proceed 10 business. Ben finally repeated
Forests motion to the Chair, and insisted
that it should put it Immediately. The
Chair obeyed, and order arose out of con-

AFTERNOON SESSION.
The chairman took his place, when about
dozen delegates made their appearance,
and as "ye gods" of the gallery saluted
the Chair with sundry whistles, he called
them to order. The chair seemed intense
ly anxious to dispatch business. The del
egates came in very slowly, and he made
two or three little speeches, enjoining har-
mony, and the good fellowship belonging
to the Democracy. The boys asked him
repeatedly whether he would not like to
have q drink. 1t might have been ques-
tion, however, whether he had already had
too much or too little.

speech out of Pugh, and he advised the
war parties of the various wards to COM
promise their difficulties.
The real cause of the adjournment was
the horrible drunkenness that prevailed
There were scores Of men raving drunk,
gnashing their teeth like wolves, and howl
ing demons and there were Others babbling
and soldering and leering in state of
idocyi The most drunken and noisy of the
crowd got nearest the chair, and there stood
up and gesticulated and screamed, destroy
ing order. Hundreds of others from the
galleries and the body of the Theater
screeched at those in front.
A thousand drunken lunatics could not
have made more fearful tumult. They
seemed possessed of devils, and de livered
over to delirium. We candidly assure our
readers, that not only would it be impossi-
Bile to exagerate the demonstration of
drunken insanity, and religious" and polit-
ical frenzy, but that just ice cannot be done
the subject.
There have been many wild, and stormy,
and drunken conventions in Hamilton
county, but never one so outrageous, so
discreditable to humanity as this. After
the Convention adjourned, there were ter
rible fights in the streets, and no end OF
disorderly proceedings about the city.

Three parties now struggle for influenek

Three parties now struggle for influence
in the imperial Court at Vienna. At the
head OF the party advocating immediate
and straightforward Progress, without any
drriere pensee, stands the young Empress.
Some months ago the Archduke Ferdinand
Maximlian, enlightened by bis experience
during his Viceroyalty at Milan, begged
and entreated his brother, the Emperor, to
desist from the narrow and mean system
of oppression exercised in the whole EN-
pire; warning him that, sooner or later,
the same causes might be followed by the
same consequences in other nationalities.
The Archduke left his country in disgrace,
taking with him the memory of very bitter
words from the Emperor. The Empress
exercises a holder, more legitimate, and
more perseverant influence, and is some
thing more successful. Every morning
before the reception of the adjutants, who
bring the reports, she enters the cabinet of
the imperial husband, there she reigns for
awhile, discussing and suggesting the high
est questions Of politics, directed only by
her heart and patriotic inspiration of the
right She has not been taught history.
Ambition and intrigue are strangers in her
heart, but her eloquence flows from her
soul and from her presentiments. She
looks at the exiled italian Princes. She is
very much concerned about her younger
sister, who was lately on the Neapoli,an
throne. The echoes of the complaints Of
so many oppressed nations penetrate the
walls of the Imperial Castle. She reads in
the features Of her imperial husband cares
