SATURDAY EVENING. NAY 20, 1852.
Blafne,S pnrnHgeR


In the state of Maine there are only
three congressman to be elected this
year, although it had four under the old
apportionment.. As it has not been re-
districted the entire delegation will have
to be chosen at large and the parties will
each have to take the chance to win
or lose it all.' The likelihood of a
Democratic and Greenback fusion rend
ers Republican success problematical,
and Mr.. Blaine had been mentioned as
likely to head the ticket of his party and
to carry its standard in a contest which
may be decisive of the control of the
next national House. 1t is given out
that he declines to be candidate fol
this or any other political place pre-
sent, it is to be presumed, since Mr..
Blaine is always tO he considered an as
pirant for the presidency. 1t is known,
too, that Mr.. Blaine is busily engaged in
making money, for which he has dis
played considerable aptitude throughout
his political career, and to those who
take the commercial view of statesman
ship which has always marked Blaine
the power of money in politics is vital
consideration.
Mr.. Blaine's attitude to the impending
canvass in Maine and his refusal to lead
the more or less forlOrn hope of his
party may indicate that he does not pro-
pose to take the chances of his local de-
feat and the certain ensuing displace
ment of his name from the list of can
didates for 1854. In a contest, on the re-
suit of which his hopes of the presidency
were based, he could not expect much aid
from the Arthur administration. 1t
would Orelikely be much pleased to have
him killed off in that way. Not so easily
could it afford to let his state and three
congressman be lost to the next II atiOnal
House. But it is probable, too, that
Blaine's eye scans a broader horizon than
that of his own state, and he is watchful,
especially of the events which portend
the disintegratiOn of his party in this
state, where Blaine's political fortunes
are stake in every political contest.
Senator Mitchell tells Times correspOn-
dent that it was the act of the Camerons
in cheating Blaine out of his rights to
the delegates from this state in 1850
which really created the Independent
movement. Hence it is obvious that
Mr.. Blaine's future must depend largely
on the fate which is in store for this
movement, and lie must remain in sus,
penSe until that is determined.

THE little town of Gnadenhutten,
("tents Of grace'), Ohio, is to have an
important and pompous historical celebra-
tion next Wednesday, the huDdredth an
niversary of the massacre there, when
ninety Indians who had been converted to
the creed of the Moravian church met
their death at the hands of Il body of in
furiated white men. Twenty nine men,
twenty seven women and thirty four chill
dren were slaughtered. Two buildings
were selected for the horrible purpose,
the women aud babes being killed in one,
the men and boys in the other. 1t is re-
corded that they died almost cheerfully,
the hymn and prayers Of those about to
perish mingling with the death groans of
their unhappy companions. Some of the
very Indians wLo perished there had been
selected by tho Paxton boys" for their
vengeance after the Conestoga massacre in
this city. They had taken refuge in Phil.
adelphia in care of the friendly Quakers
and Moravians, and when the hot Paxton
rangers moved down that way there were
removed to an island in the river, and af-
terwards out to Friedenhutten, whence
some of them went to Gnadenhutten and
met the bloody fate above related, under
much the same circumstances as those of
the old Jail massacre in Lancaster.

An Imminent Calamity-The Fleet In the leo
For more than seven days the Allan
line steamer Peruvian, bound up the St.
Lawrence with passengers from Liverpool,
over thousand persons, has been caught
in the ice in the Gulf of St. Lawrence !;
surrounded for miles by heavy foes of
the moving pack, 50 as to be
unapproachable for purposes Of assistance,
driven by the winds toward a rocky
coast, and completely disabled by the de-
struction of her screw. The great firm
ness of the ice and the fearful force of its
action under wind and tide involve the
certainty almost Of catastrophe for if
the wind holds as it is it must send the
Peruvian to destruction against rocky
coast, while a change in tho wind may
lead to action in the ice that will annihi-
late the whole feet Of about thirty ships
now heset in the neighborhoOd of St.
Paul Island. Should such a calamity Oc.
cur it will be the most fearful event in the
maritime history of the Now World.

of Cresswell and lately an employee in the
Ne,r Era Office, died at o'clock this
morning of typhoid fever, after four weeks
illness at the residence of his father in
Cresswell, Manor township, aged about 20
years. Mr.. Herr was All exemplary young
man, good printer, and until he was
suddenly stricken down by sickness. his
prospects for life of usefulness were
brilliant. His funeral will take place on
Monday.
Death Of >. B. Cox, DR.
Samuel b. Cox, jr., son of S. b. Cox,
carriage manufacturer, died at an early
hour this morning, at his fathers resi-
dence, No. 23 East German street. Mr..
Cox, though he had barely attained his
majority, possessed great deal of busi-
ness talent. and for some time prior to his
last illness, which commenced last Feb
ruary, he superintended the extensive
works of his father, and successfully car
ried on the bending business on his own
account. He was Well-educated and well
liked by all who knew him. He contracted
cold in February last, which settled on

Shall the PRESBYTERIAN Dance !.

The Presbyterian general assembly
is charged with the responsible duty Of
deciding whether, under the canons of
that church, congregation and
presbytcry Can lawfully exclude from
Christian fellowship Il member in
good standing, who indulges in the mild
est form of square dancing. 1t is not
alleged, we believe, in the pending case
of Heller Donaldson, of EmlentOn, Pa,
that he is an habitual indulger in the
Terpsichorean art, or that he trips it at
all skillfully on the light fantastic toe.
On the other hand he was only semi
occasionally induced to wander into the
simple figures of the plain quadrille and
stumbled through them quite awkwardly.
For this he was excluded from the fold,
and though, we understand, it is not as
sumed that one congregation can be
called to account by another for failure
to take cOsniZance of such Il breach of
moral law, the lower church Indicator
les have decided that il a congregation
adjudges square dancing to be cause for
disfellowship of those who indulge in it.,
there is no higher power TO reverse this
decision. The case as it stands is an
interesting and important one, and the
general assembly should not dodge it by
taking refuge in technicalities. If Pres
byterians dare not indulge in dancing,
without running the risk of being ex
PEELED 1T the caprice of the elders, it is
at least right that they should know it !;
or il they are expected to conform their
dancing to the occasions and music to
which Miriam and David INDUCED in
this form of enjoyment let it be officially
declared.
