Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

w. p. Smith, Esq, Master of Trans
portaton of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, must be live Yankee
in the fullest sense of the term. \,
one better than he understands how
to render "the pen and the press
available to his interests, or rathcl
the interests of the railroad compan,
of whom he is the agent. Not long
since he planned an excursion over his
road and all connecting roads west o
it, and invited some two thousand ed
itors in the Western States to take {
free ride to Baltimore, Washington
and Mt. Vernon. A large number Of
those invited accepted the invitation
Of course the innumerable good things
written and printed about the journey
will make the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad route known and familiar to
all the reading world, and per consc-
qucncc a vast amount of travel and
business will be added to it.
There is no class of community
more appreciativc of favors and
courtcsies than editors, and none that
give so large a return for them. This
fact Mr.. Smith has the shrcwdness to
comprehend and the tact to rendc,
available. AS second proof of this
he has now sent notices to the press
and to Democratic State and Local
Committees, that arrangements are
made with connecting roads for a joint
reduction Of fare to and from the Ma.
tional Democratic Convention which
is to assemble in Baltimore on the
18th inst.
We arc also informed that full and
accurate volume is soon to be pub
lishcd, entitled "The Book of the Ed
itorial Excursion" which will embrace
the good things written on the sub
icct of the excursion and its incidents
by the Editors thcmselvcs-both those
who accepted and those who were I'M
able to accept the invitation-togeth-
cr with much other useful information
The work will contain a railroad map,
and will be cmbellishcd with numcr-
Gus cngravings. A list of newspa-
pers, names of editors, &C., will also
be given.
OF course, every business and lit
erary person in the country will wish
to purchase a work SO replete with in
teresting and useful information. 1t
was not our fortune to be among the
cxcursionists, but we shall certainly
desire to own the book and when
we next visit New England, we shall
take the route by way of Baltimore

OF the inhabitants were badly wound
ed, and it was said some of them
could not survive. The loss of prop
cr.v in Hardin county is estimated
at 100000. The people of New
Providence, as well as others in that
vicinity, arc in condition of actual
distress, and appeals are made for re-
lief.
This storm must have travelled a
distance of one hundred and fifty
miles or more, spreading ruin and
death in its course. Its speed was at
the rate of about eighty miles per
hour.
The charitably disposed in many of
the larger towns and cities have
promptly contributed every thing
necessary for the relief or comfort of
the sufferers. In Chicago mass
meeting was held to devise means of
relief. The proprietors of the Trc-
mont House sent $50 Immediately to
the Mayor Of Clinton and the Briggs
House sent bedding and clothing and
$50 in cash, and a great concert was
to be held in the Wigwam to raise
funds for the sufferers.
The Davenport Gazette says that in
the course of twcnty.fonr hours, nc
less than $1,000 in cash, and 5000
worth of clothing was collected in Da-
venport and Rock Island for the relief
of the sufferers by the tornado at
Camanche.
Wherever the track of the storm is
traced, there are mourning, weeping
and woe, such as cannot be cflaced in
the present generation. How true
that, in the midst of life we are in
death !"

Short Coat Tail Logic.

Our Democratic exchanges come to
us filled with extracts from the great
speech Of Stephen A. Douglas, which
occupied two days in its delivery, and
in which he defended his Democracy
and proved that the Democratic party,
being committed in times past to his
great principle" Of Popular Sovc-
rcignty, it was the party that had left
him, and not lie who had left the par.
ty. Stripped from the tcrgivcrsations
and chop logic with which this vindi-
cation Of his Democracy is covered,
and, as near as we can reach it, the
following is Mr.. Douglas position:
First, Popular Sovereignty is the
great principle Of the Democratic par
ty, the only principle there is in it.
Second, Popular Sovereignty is "to
leave to the people of a territory, the
same as a State, the right to regulate
their domestic institutions in their
own way
Third, " But the right of the people
Of a territory to regulate their own
domestic institutions is judicial
question ; and for Congress or for po-
litical parties to assert any such right
is nothing more nor less than an at
tempt to give judicial exposition to
the Constitution and a usurpation of
judicial power, and, in short, is moth
ing but treason"
Fourth, The right to exclude or cs-
tablish slavery being thus withdrawn
from the Territorial Legislature, and
withdrawn from the Federal Lcgisla-
turc, is deposited with the Supreme
Court, is no longer political question,
and that's the end of it.
Therefore, there is no question at is
sue, and the Democratic party have
no principles at all.
So the Senator from Illinois has
spent two entire days in proving that
if the Democratic party abandonS
this great principle" Of nonentity,
it will be broken up and justly defeat
ed.
Hicks, the oyster sloop pirate, of
New York, has made full confession.
He admits killing Captain Burr and

din. He is debating story of his
life and adventures, which is to be
published.
