The Tornado of Monday.

The Cincinnati papers come to us loaded
with details of the late disastrous tornado which
swept the Ohio and the lower Miami valleys on
Monday last. The storm extended to New
Richmond, Chillicothe, Leesburg, Greenfield,
lexington, Westborrough, Lynchburg. New
Vienna, Martinsburg, Portsmouth, Madison,
Indianna, and numerous other localities, at all
of which there was serious destruction of prop
erty. The ravages of the storm were frightfu
along the lines of the Ohio and Mississippi, and
Little Miami railways. The damage on the
line of the Hamilton and Dayton railway was
comparatively insignificant. Along the line of
the Ohio river, from Louisville TO Marietta, the
storm has left many frightful marks of its vio-
lenee. Several steamers, boats and bar
ges we're sunk, and others very much injured.
The Press thus concludes its summary of the
losses:
With the facts we have given above for a
basis, the most vivid imaginations might run
riot without reaching complete idea of the
damage caused by the terrific tornado. 1t can
only be enumerated by millions, and even with
their aid we doubt very much whether the sum
total could be told. 1t is impossible to detail
the loss of life, but news has reached us to the
effect that seventy-fve persons have been killed
or wounded, and the city is filed with reports
involving the lives OF twenty-five more.
For nine hundred miles along the Ohio river
the tornado ragged with feroscity that appears
to have been terrific, and we doubt whether,
even in the tropics, one has been known to ex
terd so far, and be the cause OF so much dam

The Americans of New york and the
Republican Ticket.

The Buffiloe Commercial Advertiser the
organ Of Fillmore and the Americans of New
York in 1856, and heretofore opposed to the
Republican organization. has placed at the
head of its columns the name of Lincoln and
Hamlin. The Advertiser represents a very
numerous body of conserva tives, among whom
are such men as Washington Hunt, Haven
and Ullman, and it speaks the sentiments of
that class of men, all over the country. After
giving its reasons for opposing the Republican
ticket in 1856 which is that the Philadelphia
platform ignored all other issues than that of
slavery, it says This party has met at
Chicago during the week Just closing, and
enunciated Il political creed so definite in all
matters of real Importance so free from sec
tional denunciations, so true to the old stand
ard of the relations which should exist between
the North and the South, that it appeals
strongly to the confidence and support of those
who have hitherto stood aloof from an organ
ization which Secondhand under certain man
agement was-dargerous to the perpetuitv of
our beloved Union of States. That danger no
longer exists. The Chicago Platform contains
no insult to the South dema nds nothing which
should not be yielded in free government:
protests strongly for the maintenance of State
rights and the security of the domestic institu-
tons of seperate sovereignties, and brings us
back once more to the faith Of the Fathers on
those other grand questions of political econo-
my which relate to our revenue and the pener
al duty of Government to foster and give safe
ty to commerce"

The gentlemen composing the ConTenven-

On reaching this city on Thursday evening

the National Convention of the constitutional
Union Party, which had just completed its
labor by nominating JoHN BELL, of Tennessee

adopted as platform The Constitution of
the Country, the Union of the States, and the
enforcement of the Laws,"-which certainly
possesses the merit of brevity as well as COM
preheDsiveness if not exclusiveness for all

general sentiments are embraced in their plat

political parties that now exist or ever have
existed claim to be friends of the Constitution

not favor the enforcement of the aws-so that
the Constitutional Union party can not

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEES.

The nomination by the Chicago Convention
of Hon A ABRM LINCOLN, of Illinois, and Hon.
HAsS1BAL HAaLIN, OF Maine, as the Republi-
can candidates for President and Vice President
of the United States, has been received with
unbounded enthusiasm, and gives almost uni
versal satisfaction-and if the signs of the
times NAV be regarded as indicative of the re-
suit of the contest, their triumphant endorse
ment by the people at the polls may be conf
IDENTIFY relied upon. That soma of the
distinguished gentlemen whose names were
presented to the Convention for the Presidell-
tial nomination, are seriously disappointed, aud
that some of their enthusiastic friends partake
of the same feeling, is undeniahle and was an
tcipated-it is a consequence inseparable from
conventions called for the purpose of deciding
office-but this feeling is not of nature that
will prevent those affected by it from readily
acquiescing in the result and yielding the ticket
an earnest and hearty support. Both of the
gentlemen nominated are emioently fitted for
the places they have been selected to fill, are
both selfmade men, such as the people delight
to honor, possess in an eminent degree the ell
ements of personal popularity, aud if elected
will administer the government in such man.

FRIEND GAZETTE:
The proceedings of the above
body are becoming daily more interesting
All your readers may not be familiar with the
machinery of Methodism, and brief plan of
the Conference mag not be unwelcome
Once in four years each of the forty-scven
Annual Conferences delegates one member
from every twenty seven (and the fraction orer
a half of twentyseven) to represent them ia a
General Conference.
The latter is somewhat analogous to the
Congress of the q. S.-except that all Con
ferences have a universal Methodist Constitu-
tion framed by the delegated body.
As the session now here has two hundred
and twenty-one members, it will be seen that
about si1 thousand Methodist Ministers are
doing business here by proxy.
Each delegate speaks for at least twenty
seven men, and saw one to-day who appears
physically competent to speak for Gf not eat

feel rebuked by the attachments of this man.

kinds but never one in apparent intelligence

The church now about (if not JUST one
hundred years old in this country, numbers
about one million souls. God hath given the
increase.
Only the first half of each day is consumed
in open Conference, the afternoons being devo-
ted to committees, which prepare the business
for the entire body.

The present session of Congress is manifest
ly rapidly drawing to a close. The House
has passed resolution to adjourn on the 18th
June, and it is thought the Senate will concur
The House is said to be considerably iu ad-
vance of the Senate in the amount of bust
ness thus far disposed of, which is a singular
fact in the history of Congressional proceed
ings.
The Senate having amended the House
homestead bill so as to materially change its
main features, that body has again passed
their own bill and sent it to the Senate.
Their concurrence is hardly to be anticipated
There is some hope that the Tariff bill which
passed the House will pass the Senate.
In the debate in the Senate on Tuesday, on
the slave code resolutions, Mr. Benjamin, of
Louisiana, made fierce attack on popular
sovereignty and the little giant He was re-
piled to with considerable spirit by Mr.. Pugh,
who ably defended the Illinois Senator and
his favorite dogma The debate indicated an
.irrepressible conflict between the ire-eaters
and the Douglas Democracy.
