Her engines were built at the Morgan

had two of &aftin's boilers, and was

She was put in commission IN Tebru-

several weeks, waiting only for her
crew. She was detained for special ser
vice and was considered q firstclass

Capt FiIlebrcwn states that ne WIS in
the engineers department about fifteen
minutes belore.the explosion at which
time the pressure Of steam upon the
boilers was between thirty five and forty
pounds. There was no cause for nor
did there exist, any apprehensions OF
anything wrong.
A few days before sailing tho boilers
and machinery Of the vessel were duly
tested according to the regulations OF
the Navy Department An examina-
ton Of the exploded boiler since the
disaster shows that one of the riveted
seams was completely opened, so that
the defect must have been in the man
ner in which the rivetst seams were
closed and not in the boiler plate,

Of the explosion, says that it was accom-

liability have been destroyed but for

ksa Issue Neither 10 he Eysaded

The shadows of the coming political cam.
paicn begin to salute the vision. and call for
more definite expressions of opinion from
the Press, as to the issues which shall be
fought at the great ballot of "a. 1t is not
to be ignored by persons within or outside
of our party organization that the real is
sue is not whether there shall be peace or
war. That matter is setted. We are at
Udr. The grave question is, whether the
conduct of the war shall be put under the
control of men, who will shape it in accor-
dance with constitutional requirements, for
the sole purpose Of restoring the authority
of the government, and preserving the I'm
ion, or whether it shall be left in the hands
Of men who wage it mainly to promote an
ti-slayery dognae and anti-slayery schemes
of revolution. In the language of Cover
nor Bramlctte, There isa party of recon
struction, and one of restoration. The
majority Of the Democratic party stand firm
and first by the McClellan-Seymour doctrine
by the doctrine enunciated in the mes
SAGE Of Governor Parker, of New Jersey,
declared by nearly every Democratic CON
vcntion held, avowcd by the recognized op-
ponents Of the party ON the stump, in pub
lie journals, and in Congress, and stoutly
maintained with their hearts best blood on
many stricken field by Democratic soldiers.
That doctrines is, that under no contn-
gcncy shall the Union of these States be
served, that never with the consent of the
Democracy shall the Constitution of the
| United States be subvelted, that liberal
terms will be granted the moment the arm
cd organization Of the rebellion disbands--
and that meanwhile, the solution of the
great strife by military appliances must be
prosecuted in accordance with the spirit of
] our institutions and the uSagcs of intcrna-
tional law until the laws and flag of the ma
ton spread unmolest2d over every foot of
our soil.
Planted on this platform, the Democracy
will not swerye a single inch, and on it they
will stand or fall in the coming Election

Webster on Republics.

The frequency and carne tnes with which
Mr. Webster discussed the probabilities
and effects of war between the North and
South suggest that none of our statesmen
had a more correct apprehension Of the iu-
trre than he. His readiness TO compromise,
when the sections were solidly opposed to
each other, and the solcmuity with which
he impressed Constitutional obligations,
seem to have been prompted by fear Of such
contest az is now convulsine Che nation.
In his oration, delivered june l7th, 1873,
upon the completion of the Bunker Hill
Monument, he said
" A military Republic, government
founded on mock elections and supported
only by the sword, is II movement, indeed
but a retrOgladc and disastrous movement
from tho regular and old-laShioned nonar
clia system. lfmon would enjoy the blcs
sings OF Republican Government, they mus
govern themselves by reason, by mutua
counsel and consultation, by Il sense ano
feeling of general interest, and by the acqu
csccncc of the minority, in the will of thc
majority, properly oppressed and above
all, the military must be kept, according tC
the language Of our bill OF rights IN stric
mbordinaDiun to the ciyil authority Whcr
ever this lesson is not both learned anC
practiccd there can be no political freedom
