Our free and easy Attorney General
celebrated for having been elected to Con-
gress by the abolitIonist vote in l849 on
account of making higher bid than even
Garrison himself would have made at the
time-made a speech here last Saturday
night, and in that speech, as usual, denounc-
ed the Black Republicans as "abolition-
lists, sc. We now propose TO show our
readers the position of this precious dough
face, in I849. He had not the brass here
to deny the position; he even acknowledged
it, and, Locofoco like, gloried in his present
officiating occupation and inglorious in
consistency. He in effect acknowledged
that he could one year occupy one position,
and the next year another exactly opposite,
ifby changing he could secure office.
Here is the letter he wrote in answer to
certain questions from prominent free-soilers:
" ATTIcA, July 3, Is49
Gentlenen-Having seen your circular
to the candidates of the District, in the Pub
lie Press, and not wishing to conceal any
opinion held by me in regard to the politi-
cal questions now agitating the public mind

1st. do admit and believe that Congress
has the right to legislate on the subject of
slavery for all the Territories of the Unit
ed States, the District of Columbia inclu-
sive.
ID. l am in favor of the adoption of the
Wilmot PrOviso in all the Territorial organ
izatiOns.
Sd. am in favor of the prohibition of
the slave trade in the District of Columbia
| am in favor of the abolition of slavery in
the District of Columbia the citizens of the
District expressing a wish to Congress
therefor. If this could not be done, 1
should then be IN fa0or Of remOciRg the seat
Of government to free soil.
4th. am opposed to the admission of
any more Slave States from any Territory
not properly included in the Texas compro-
mise. do not believe that Congress ought
to disturb the compact entered into with
Texas on that subject
9th. am in favor of the exemption of
the homestead from execution.

DANCERS OF THE STATEN ISLAND FERRY
Is there no law, ordinance or regulation to
prevent the Staten Island ferry boats from
taking a load of passengers which renders
frightful loss Of life at any moment imminent?
This is one of the most frequented ferries run.

exception Of one boat, none of them employed

Gpwded down to the waters edge and it was
o. same on the Fourth of July. If the slight
est panic had occurred-even from the most
trivial cause.-the results must have been fear
ful to think of, among such dense mass Of
people crushed into so small space.
There is hardly a Sunday that hundreds of
human lives are not placed in jeopardy on
these boats One can readily fancy what the
consequence would be should collision occur
or an excitement Of any kind arise on one of
these boats, with thousand people on board
and absolutely no means OF saving single life,
except a few life preservers, slowed away no
one knows where. There are no small boats
kept on board, and life preservers, we need
hardly say, afford poor chance of escape when
a thousand or even five hundred people are
cast upon the waters in a heap. Should
catastrophe happen on the Staten Island boats
on any Sunday, not the strongest nor the calm.
est passenger on board could escape drowning.
This is something terrible to contemplate,
and yet il is liable 10 occur at any time during
the summer season. The proprietors of this
ferry should be indicted for this reckless ex-
posure of human life If the law can reach them:
and il not, the Common Council should see to II
that the number of passengers on the boats be
limited 10 an amount which will afford some
guarantee Of safety.

The Esmeralda Mines.

These silver mines discovered during the
past summer in Utah Territory, are about
ninety miles in a south easterly direction
from Carson City. For some time past they
have attracted great attention from the re-
ported richness ofthe ores, and we are inform
ed by an acquaintance, resident of Virginia
City, that there is every probability that as
many persons will winter at Esmerada this
season. as last winter were at Virginia City.
There can be no doubt that ore of extraor-
dinary richness has been found at the new
mines,- surprising any taken out at Washoe.
The Visala Delta has been furnished with
the following reports of assays of ores of
different companies in the Esmeralda district:
Aurora, per ton $6,640; Last Chance,
1000; Silver Hill, 2,44O; Garibaldi, 2,l00;
Sonora, 900; Last Rose Of Summer, 4,0O0;
Lsmeralda, l,7Oo; Mayfeld, 1900; Bear
Flag, (Gold), 5000.
The correctness of these assays are vouch-
ed for-,hey being made by men competent
in their business.
