SENATOR SUMMERS FIRST ELEcTIoN.-The
test in the Legislature of 1851 when Mr.. Sum-
ner was elected to the United States Senate,
which took place on the Oath of April and on
the twenty-sixth ballot, the members voting in
sealed envelopes. The following are among
the newspaper comments. The old Advertise,
edited by Nathan Hale said:
1t is the grossest outrage upon the feelings of
the majority of the people Of the State, by a
combination between two minorities, which we
have known to be perpetrated in any of the
States of the Union We regard the event as a
most unfortunate one for the reputation of the
State, and one which must paralyze its influ-
ence III the councils of the Uuion and in sus-
tanning course of legislation tending to har-
monte the discussions which have SO long dis
turbed the quiet of the country.
The Post summed up the whole question
in the following bristling little paragraph:
A Wing, who refused to support General
Taylor because he was not Wing enough; an
agitator, who would sacrifice the safety of the
Union by aggravating sectional luminosity: an
Abolitionist, who would treat the laws of the
Constitutional Legislature Of his country as
the colonists did the oppressive edicts of
tyrannical power! This is the political beauty
the Coalition Democrats have voted for as a
member of the United States Senate
The Commonwealth, the only paper which
was able to see Mr.. Sumner as the great states
man OF the future, uttered the following proph-
ecy, which has since been fully verified:
MIR. Sumner will go into the Senate unpledg-
edsto the measures of any party and free to
pursue such course upon all questions of ma
tlonal policy as his own judgment and feeling
OF responsibility to his constituents shall die
49, ie rMAl be q Senator worthy of Massa-
chusetts, ieglslating, as the Transcript truly
says, for the whole country, not for sectional
part, and, respecting the constitutional rights
of others, and of all.

bidding, will, when they have the
! power in their own hands, and the au.
thority of the Constitution to support
them, and the expression of public
opinion directing them to go forward,
casting off these good temperance men,
snd rejecting the alliance, not longer
having any use for them. You may
vote down the Constitution and with ii
the obnoxious license clause, but have
you seriously considered the conse.
quences that will result?
DRUNKENNESS OF A JUDICIAL OFFICER
During term time, or while otherwise
engaged in the transaction of official
business, shall exclude him from Office.
Now, we have that much temperance
embodied squarely in the Constitution,
and if you vote it down you will lose
the benefit of that much temperance,
at all events. And say to you that Is
no idle provision, for the bench Of
Ohio has been, unfortunately, disgra-
ced by intoxication. You yourselves
have witnessed it. And above all
scenes that beggar description is that
of a drunken Judge sitting upon a
bench of justice trying a fellow citizen
for his life or his liberty, while so ut
terly maudliu drunk that he can scarce
ly distinguish light from darkness. 1t
is the most wretched, most disgraceful,
most damning picture Of humanity
that can be portrayed by the pen of an
gels or devils. applause.
Every instinct Of humanity or de-
cency must shrink back to think of one
who will permit his brains to be delib-
erately stolen from him while in his
hands he holds the scales Of justice, and
while from his tongue should come
forth utterances of wisdom and truth.
1t is u shame, and If for no other reason
under heaven, we ought to adopt our
new Constitution in order to save at
least that clause it.
CONCLUSION.
Let Us arise, friends, in our strength
and in our might, and call upon the
people, as they love Christianity, as
they love civilization, as they love the
right, az they would avert the miseries
and calamities of the domestic impov-
erishment, as they would preserve our
scutcheOn, and aid in the prevention
of crime and all the dire consequences
that would flow from an expression of
public opinion In favor of error, and
let us cast majority vote against the
license clause, and there will he no
danger of these fearful consequences.
Great applause. Should a majority
expression be given in favor Of license,
welding its club over the legislation of
the State, its temperance, its tempe
rance reform and its Temperance re-
formers will be swept WAS going to
say into oblivion. But no, not into
Oblivion, for they will rise again and
seize upon their banner, and lifting it
from the dust will fling it in the face
of the foe, and if not victorious in this
generation, will continue through the
next and the next, fighting on and
fighting ever, until, in defiance ofli
cense and license clauses, the will and
the power and the glory of Almighty
God will be vindicated in the wisdom
and pow er and virtue OF an Ohio Gem
eral Assembly that will bring good out
Of evil. [Great applause.

RIVER DISASTER.
Steamboat Burned on the Ohio
Twenty Lives Lost.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 6.-Mr. Holmes.
the engineer OF the steamer Pat Rogers,
burned at Aurora, arrived at Cincin-
natl on the noon train, and was inter
viewed by a Cincinnati reporter. He
gives the following account of the
burning:
''It was just about six O'Clock, when
Just opposite Laughery creek, that
flows into the Ohio river two miles be-
low Aurora, that l noticed bright
light among some bales of cotton in the
after part of the boat. / hastened to
the spot and found the cotton to be
burning rapidly, and beyond any pos
sibility of Immediately extinguishing
it. | fastened TO the hurricane deck
and gave the alarm to the pilot that
the boat was burning, and told him to
run ashore. The pilot at once turned
the boats head to shore, and immedi-
atcly che became unnanageable. The
pilot states that he could turn the
wheel, but the steamer would not an
swer to her helm. He thinks that the
tiller rope had been cut. From this
fact 1t is thought the fire was the work
of an incendiary. Another theory is
that one Of the deck passengers while
while smoking dropped sparks from
his pipe into the cotton.
"When the boat became unmanage-
able she drifted on to a sand bar, and
there grounded. The flames instead OF
spreading along the lower deck at once
shot up to the cabin and pilot house,
then swept across the hurricane deck.
The passengers were all aroused and
boats lowered. and many were carried
to the shore, but others in their fright
jumped into the water, and those who
were not drowned reached safe land
ing place after drifting long time with
the current. There were nearly hun
dred people on board, but what propor-
tiOn of this number were actually lost
is not known at this time, as many re-
ported missing have been seen by some
on shore after the disaster"

AEUTURE LIFE.
(Cornhill Magazine }

(Cornhill Magazine.)
The pictures of future world which
men have drawn1n different lands and
ages, all possess at least one claim to
our interest. They afford us not in
deed the faintest outlines of that undis-
covered country beyond the bourne oil
death, but they reveal with unim-
peachable, because unintentional sim
cerity, the inHermost desires and fears
of living men. On that cloud which
receives every departing soul out oi
our sight, the magic-lantern of fancy
casts its bright or gloomy imagery, and
we need but watch the phanrssms as
they pass to know the hidden slides OF
the brain which produced them. The
luscious gardens and Houris anticipat-
ed by the Meslem; the eternal repose
of Nirvana sighed for by the Buddhist;
the alternate warfare and wassail el
Walhalla, for which the Norseman
longed as the climax of glory and felic-
ity, convey to US at glance a livelier
conception OF the sensuality, the indo-
lence and the fierceness of the respect
i've races than could he acquired by
elaborate studies of their manners and
morality. In a similar way other char
acteristics are revealed by the terrorS
of future punishment-which the live
ly Greek imagined to himself as the
endless, hopeless labors of an IXion or
a Sisyphus; the dignified Egy ptian, as
degradation to bestial form; and the
grim-souled Teuton of the Dark Ages,
as eternal torture in fiery cave. What
ever has constituted mans highest
pleasure on earth that he has hoped to
find again in heaven, and whatever he
has mos, dreaded, that he has imag-
ined as forming the retribution of guilt
hereafter. From this point of view the
Christian idea of serene empyrean,
wherein saints and archangels forever
cast their crowns before the great
White Throne, and worship the thrice
Holy One who sitteth thereon-affords
singular evidence of the spiritual alti-
trde to which those souls had attained
to whom such an apocalypse opened
the supreiuest vision of beatitude. The
attitude of adoration-of sublime &c
static rapture in the presence of perfect
holiness and goodness, is assuredly the
loftiest of which we have any coHcep-
tion, and to desire to enjoy and pro-
long it forever can only genuinely per-
tain to soul in which the love of di-
vine goodness is already the ruling
passion. Wider thought and calmer
reflection may teach that not alone on
such mountain peaks of emotion, butt
on the plains of fsacred service, should
the faithful son of God desire to spend
his Immortality. But the modern an
cient poet who has taken on himself to
sneer at the motion of angels 'loafing
about the Throne" has given curious
evidence of his Incompetence 10 up-
derstand what sublime passion it was
which inspired. that wondrous vision ,
of PatmOs. .--. l7..- ...t,.
