Steamboat Herald Burnt. The Cincinnati Gaiclte of the Bth says ; “ The Cincinnati and Warsaw packet, Herald, on her downward passage, look fire at half past two o’clock, yesterday,eight miles below the city, and burnt to the water’s edge. She was run ashore ■at South Bend, and passengers and crew, num bering sixty, escaped without serious injury.— The boat was new, and we believe was built and owned by Col.

The Norfolk Beacon of the Blh, says :—“ It is thought the Exploring Expedition squadron may get to sea in the early part of the coming week. The Vincennes and the Peacock, which dropped down to the bite of Cranay Island on Wednesday, got under way yesterday and made further pro gress. The Relief store ship dropped down yes terday afternoon, and the Porpois, Lieut. Com. Ringgold, arrived in Hampton Roads, from New York, on Thursday.” The Frederick (Md.) Herald of the 1 Uh states that a severe thunder storm passed over that place on the D.b. The St John’s Literary Insti. lute was struck by the lightning but not much damaged. The barn of Mr Jacob Donh, was struck, and consumed with its contents—the loss estimated at $3OOO.

Courant says ibat death are almost daily occurring among the laborers ot the Susquehanna canal, from imprudently dtitik ing too freely of cold water when they ate healed Words of truth and soberness are these which follow. The American people would do well to ponder them. They are taken from the aphorisms of Lacon —a foreign writer Who lias been dead bo many years, and who could scarcely have been “bribed by Biddle and the Banks” to utter these sayings:— Liberty will not descend to a people, a peo ple must raise themselves lo Liberty; it is a blessing that must bo earned—before it can be enjoyed. That nation cannot be free where reform is a, common hack, that is dis missed with a kick the moment it lias brought the rider to his place. That notion cannot he free where parlies are hut different roads, leading to one common destination, plunder. That nation cannot Lie free where the rulers will not feel for the people, until th y areoblL ged to feel with the people, and then it is too late. That nation cannot be free that is bought by its own consent, and sold aga inst ii; where the rogue I hat is in rags, is kept in countenance by the rogue that is in iiifllus, and where from high lo low, from the Lord to the laggard, there is nothing radical but cor ruption, nothing contemptible hut poverty; where both patriot and place man, perceiving that money can do every tiling, me prepared to do every thing for money. That nation cannot be free where religion is, with the higher orders, a matter ot indifference; with the middle, of acquiescence, and with the low er, of fanaticism. That nation cannot be free, where the lep rosy of selfishness sticks to it as close as the curse of iShslia to Ids servant Gehnzi; where the rulers ask not what recommends a man , but who; and where those who want a rogue, have no occasion to make, but to choose, 1 hope there is no nation like this under Heaven; hut if there were, these arc the things, that however great she might be, would keen such a nation from liberty and liberty from her. These arc things that would (orce upon such a nation, first, a government of EXPERI MENTS; secondly, of DIFFICULTIES; and lastly, of DANGERS.— Such a nation could begin to feel, only by fearing all she de served; and finish, by sujj'ering all she feared. Let every patriot ponuer well these maxims. Baltimouk, August 13. Violent Tornado and loss of Life. The thunder storm which passed over this cily on Saturday aflcrnoon, between five and six o’clock, was accompanied by a copious shower of rain, and also by a violent gust or tornado,, which occasioned the loss of several lives, besides doing injury in various places. The prin cipal damage was sustained on Donell’s wharf, at the lower end of Thames street. At this wharf was lying the Bremen ship Sophie, just arrived with a large number of German emigrants. A number of these were making active preparations for their departure for the West, and when 'be, I rain come on, about forty or fifty took shc!'c r j n an adjacent large unfinished The house not being yet under roof, th«j violence of the rain caused all but nine pe- <!ion to seek refuge in the adjoining houses, They had scarcely quilted the warehouse when lire wind blew with larious viQlor*cc, and in u moment proßtraicd the building io the ground, burying eight persons u.Uiier the ruins. Os the latter number, live im mediately succeeded in extricating themselves, though not without being considerably injured.— Two others, a man,and a young woman about lb years of age, weic soon after dug out, dreadfully bruised and quite dead. A colored man, a carter, was standing in the building, but seeing his horse grow restive at the sound of the thunder, ho ran towards him, hut was caught by the falling wall and had both his legs badly broken, and his face and head severely cut. The ninth person in the house was Mr Joseph Holt, a bricklayer, who had been engaged on the building. Ho was in the third story, and when the house fell he was thrown headforemost into a large heap of mortar. Although to this cir cumstance may he attributed the preservation of his life, we regret to say it is feared his eyesight is irretrievably ruined by the lime. The warehouse was owned by Messrs. Donell & Lurman, It was 100 feet long by 40 wide, and three stories high. The workmen commenc ed the roof on Saturday, and had laid but three rows of slate. Its destruction was complete; the tornado scarcely leaving one brick upon another. Some of the lumber was carried to the distance of three hundred feet. We learn that two small bay vessels were cap sized at the same time near Fort McHenry.— The hands on board of one escaped, but a small boy was crushed lo death between some lumber. In the cabin of the other vessel were a man and two boys, who were taken out uninjured, shortly after the squall, by culling a hole in the bottom of the vessel. A part of the roof the Philadelphia Rail Road bridge at Canton, was blown off, and also the rool of the steam saw mill at Harris’ Creek. At the depot at Canton, the walls of the car house,which was burnt a few weeks ago, were blown down, and some other trifling damage sustained. Several sheds were unroofed at the ship yard of Messrs. Cooper & Abrahams. A part of the roof of a warehouse on Ramsey’s wharf was blown off. The ship General Smith, lying at Corner’s wharf, broke from her moorings and was blown so violently against the wharf that she stove in a portion of her bow and carried away a part of her bulwarks. Mr Shaw, the keeper of the Lazaretto, who was returning home at the lime of the squall, was together with his horse and carryall, blown over a lence and bruised considerably. A part of the wall and roof of tbo large fish storing bouses on the South side of the basin was blown off— American.

Mr. Lemarcus Deale of Laurens dist. aged, about 42, when on his way borne from Lau rens C. H. in company with two of his daughters his horse took fright near the Burnt Mill Crock, one and a half miles from the Court House, ran a few steps, when the carriage was upset and throw him nut. His daughters received but little injury ; but sad to relate, he was taken up sense less, and carried back to the village, lingered un til 11 o’clock at night, and expired. Mitch to the credit of the usual hospitality of the citiz> its ol Laurensville, every assistance was rendered and the united aid ol the Medical gentlemen of the place freely volunteered. Such attentions miti gated in some degree the agonizing distress of his poor widow. She is left with ten children ,tc mourn their irreparable loss. His death has shed a gloom over his native district. He was one ol those rare instances, in whose character wore uni led all the social, benevolent, and honorable qual ities of man.

This morning as a boat con tabling 24 or 25 persons was passing through the little tails, it struck upon Hunt’s rock, and inline u j diately filled, and melancholy to relate, nineteen 11 persons including children were drowned, f I The following are the names of the sufferers— -0 ! a ll °t whom resided in Portland or at York, viz: e Mrs. Maniton, wife ot Sampson Maniton, and four children; Mrs. Kichard Haydfe and four . children; Mrs. Trinimnn, wife of Capt.

Miss King was brought to the i, ; Hioro alive, but was so exhausted that she expired. s -Vonc of the bodies had been found when we , obtained out information, except that one of Mr. , Haynes’s children.— St Johns N Ji Gazette. M’e have ascertained satisfactorily, that our correspondent, “A JVullifier,” of last week, is mistaken in the number of Sub-Treasury ’ men on our Congressional 'i'icket. It was our opinion, when we inserted Ids communi cation, that he was in error, but having no po ■ ; si'ive information on the subject we were mi ■ prepared to controvert his statement. W e can now say, that five of the gentlemen, at least, composing the State Eights Ticket, art ■ not Sub.Trcasnry men, and for the satisfaction of our correspondent we insert their names, Alford, Dawson, Nisbet, King and Warren. Col. Dawson’s opposition to the Sub-Treas ury is well known; Col. Alford and Mr. Nisbet have expressed their opinions through the public journals; we have conversed with Col. King and Judge Warren and know that they are not the advocates of that measure. We now repeat what wc have before said, that Maj. Coo per is the only name on our tick et, so fur as wc know, that is in favor of the Sub 1 reasuty, and beholds a right, in com mon with every American citizen, to express (rankly and freely his views in regard to men and measures. It lias been our glory and boast of the parly to which we have the honor to belong, that it did not drive its members in leading strings—elevate them to places of ho nor and profit, or in any other way make them conspicuous for die purpose of lacerating their feelings. It is utterly impossible for any man to know ot even conjecture what may be Ills own future views and opinions, or those of Ids political friends on points of minor importance; but (here is one thing he may know, which is this: Dial he will never violate tbs fundamental principles of the parly—euided by those principles he cannot he; radically wrong. We differfrorfi Maj. Cooper on the Sub- I rcasury Hues'.,on, hut shall wc therefore dis card hint r.'.ti be accessory to the elevaiion of a Union man, who is also, a Sub-Treasury rT ' ; '-'<i, and any and every kind of Sub that Van Suren would wish him to be ? No ?

From the Richmond Whig. The Prospect. A general resumption of specie payments by the flanks is expected to take place on the Idth instant. The reign of shin plasters will then cease, and the people will once more en joy a sound and redeemable paper currency, and that, 100, without any thunks to “Govern ment.” The signs of reviving commercial prosperity arc already visible upon the hori zon, and it the ruthless hand of power can be stayed effectually, these signs will not falsify Die promises they hold forth. In contemplating our late and present con dition—the pressure and embarrassment every whore prevailing a short lime since, and the present, cheering prospect, the great truth is forcibly impressed upon the mind, that the country is indebted lor the happy change to the defeat of the Administration—to its ina bility to perfect its schemes of ruin. The Heavens wore a dark and lowering aspect— panic and pressure and a general stagnation of trade pervaded the country, so long us there was a probability that the mischievous pro jects of our rulers would receive the sanction ol the representatives of the people. But. as soon us that probability was removed by the unctjuivucal and decided expression of npi -1 nion by the House, gayer visages were every ' where to bo seen—a weight seemed to be re- I moved from the hopes of the people, who bnee mure breathed freely, and again felt that s they could exert their industry and enterprise without imminent risk of ruin. This confi. 4 dunce lints inspired, with n beneficial influen , ces, has increased up to the * present time— j and it will continue to increase as the people r shall, with greater and greater determination and unanimity manifest their uncomprotnis -3 ing hostility to this Administration. Let the , conviction become general, as it deserves to i be, that the prosperity of tho country ?.!“j '.ho continuance in power of the reigning party, i are incompatible, and a brighter day will spec, s dily dawn upon us Ilian we have had feryears. J his fact, that the Administration cannot B have its way and carry out the measures it desires, without bringing ruin upon the pco pie, is one well ealeu ated to make a deep im „ press;on upon the public mind, ami to furnish an accurate insight into the true character of our rulers. Belter far it would bo fur us to i have no Executive officers at all, than those | who, from ignorance or corrupt ambition, or r , both combined, use the high powers with which d I they are invested to thwart the popular will, c inyade the public I.burly, and blight the tia ! uona, prosperity, i- In all sincerity we believe, and public opinion e secerns rapidly lending to tfie same point, that it >1 we, for the last five years, had had no Executive :1 Government whatever, wo should have suffered e less as a people, and should, at this lime, bo in a i- more flourishing condition than wc now are.— s This bef'd declaration is well borne out bv a o reference to the condition of any or all the d branches of the public service. Look to the War d Department—defeat and national disgrace have i_ attended all its opeialions. Look to the .Navy which, the olliciat journal but a few days age d proclaimed to the world to have lost its character t- and io be a shame and reproach to the Republic Lock to the Finances—wo see a bankrupt Treasi *** J ***"*'** < " l,MlMi *^ r *****'* *” 1 ll~|-||l«l I !■——■— tl\ !!■ _ ury, dirty expedients t« supply profligate waste il and a disordered currency. These things wouU s nol have liecn worse, and they might have beer - better il led to chance. Then the progress to i confusion and ruin would have been slow, auc e unaided by active agents in the production o • mischief. t Hut the end of these things is in sight. If the people but retain the high stand they have taken - il they continue arrayed against rulers who have justly forfeited their confidence, though they will .1 not he aide to riled much positive good at pres r ent, they will, hy paralyzing the uplittod arm ol I their disobedient servants, prevent the cotnmis , si on ol great evils now, and pave the way for s prosperous times hereafter. Let them bear in - mind that it is to their stern and unyielding oppo j shioii to the mad and profligate measures of their " Executive ollicers, that the whole country is in ! dehled (or the mitigation of our pecuniary sulfur ) ings, atHl for l lie belter prospects which arc open ing to us; and lot them remember also, that this ! opposition, to yield all the rich fruits of which it . is susceptible, must continue steadfast, zealous and unrelaxod. They have a wary foe, ever up. on the alert, seeking opportunities to delude and mislead, and Imitlul in expedients to cover over their manifold crimes, and blazon forth their pu ny virtues. From the Richmond Whig. To Henry ( lay, JCsq—Letter VIII. Sir—ln my former letters, I have only in vited your attention to the subject of the Hank ut the Untied States. In treating of • hat, I have carolully avoided till remarks which might give rise to irrecutictloahlu disa. grecmonis between us. I have clone this at the hazard ol lulling into a strain of hackney ed common place, and yet, I fear, not without presenting many ideas which you will not. ap prove. It may be still Aiore difficult lo handle, inoffensively, other topics of which 1 wish to speak. And yet I persuade myself, that the temper of my former letters, will bo thought, to entitle mo tea candid hearing, even on the delicate question of the Tariff. 'That you may believe that I do not mean to abuse the indulgence I ask, 1 begin by as suring yon, that 1 shall bo careful not to trou ble you with the oft repeated argument of the opponents, the unequal operation of the pro tective system. The “Forty bag Theorem” I shall leave to its author, having no idea that he will ever relinqu sli, or that you will ever adopt it- I shall only use the fact, that il has been put forth by him, and has been adopted by thousands, It presents an ingenious theory, wl'tQli, like the theory of the tides, may or may not be true. Hull he business of the na vigator is with the titles u and not with the M joii. Mine is not with the soundness of I Mr. McDuffie's theory, but with the fact of its promulgation and general acceptance in the South, and with some of the results for which it proposes to account. 'These arc the same, whether the theory be true or false. The results lo which I allude are political— not commercial, it is only in a political point ol view that I propose to treat the sub. ject, and it is lo the lights thrown upon it, by recent political experience, that I would invite your attention. You have not forgotten, Sir, —none will ever forget, that most brilliant portion of your life, when you filled the Chair of the House of Representatives. It must be to you a sourcetjl’ proud satisfaction to remember, how, 1 during yt r - Moiiroe’ii last (our years, when his | Lieutenants were embarrassing his Adminis tration by their indirect scrambles tor the scep tre, Just about to fall from his infirm hand, all that there was of energy and spirit and dig. nity and consistency in the conduct of public a (lairs, was found in that then independent as sembly of the Representatives of the People. In the midst ol these gratifying rominis censcs, will yon bear llio suggestion, that, per haps at that very time, in that body, and by vour hand, were planted the seeds of ilssnb. sequent humiliation and disgrace? Do you remember your amazement and dismay, when, not long alter, you saw the mere animal in stinct, which draws the rabble of all counties alter the drum and fife, and makes the blood banner of the conqueror their cloud and pil lar of fire, extending itself, as by infection, through all classes, and perverting the judg ment of the Vise, and laming the ardor of the bold and the spirit of the free? And why was this? lit the late confessions of Mr. Calhoun, yon have the answer. I need not repeat his words, Sir. You heard them. You heard him declare, in substance, that he and his friends had given tho r support to General Jackson, in the hope that Ins personal popularity and arbitrary temper might be to them a refuge from what they deemed the unjust and oppres sive legislation of Congress. As long ago as 182 S, you had heard, from the lips of Mr. Randolph, the startling declaration, “that the times culled for a man who should carry into the Presidential Chair the Spirit or Com mand.” Do you remember 100, Sir, how that gentleman admonished the House, that it was nol until the English Parliament had made it self odious to the people, that the public mind was prepared to acquiesce in the usurpation ol Cromwell, and the violent dissolution of that body? You arc perhaps not aware, that, near the close of his life, that extraordinary man, not more remarkable for his eloquence, than for an intuitive sagacity, which often gave lo his constitutional rashness an appearance of inspiration, was asked the practical meaning of that phrase, “the Ijpirit of Command.” His answer was, that he meant by it “a some thing that men hold dangerous; a faculty I which makes the possessor an object of ( 19 fr-enu ft ml foe: in short, the imposition and the ability to make power go as far as power can be made lo go.” Here yon have a glimpse of the thoughts i and purposes of two men, as little addicted to acquiesce in the will of a master, as any that ever lived. Os the first it may be 100 much ( to say, that ho “would rather reign in hell than C serve in heaven.” Certain it is, that no sub j ordinate station has yet been found where iu , could bo content. lam not sure that the oth. ' er did not scorn mankind too much lo desire ( power lo be exercised over such beings. Tin poet Who imagined one who “scorned to be i ’ leader,” and whose boa?l il was, that “like tin Lion, he was alone,” had surely dreamed o j him. How far the remarkable man, who wa ,• selected for the bold task of breaking down tin j independence of Congress, was pledged t 1 these gentlemen, wo have now no means c ,j knowing. Whether he wa* expected to jot . with the latter in proposing to the North, ih a choice between the repeal of the Tariff an a (I sumon ; or merely to interpose the vis inei r liic of ins authority to even the nullification t o South Carolina, is known only to those wh r, will not tell the secret. lam persuad d tin o Mr. Randolph gave no intimation but by m>i r. tenons silence. Others will doubtless, f n equally guarded. But, in spite or jll concea “ meats, you cannot doubt, Su, no man verse L 'i iii the history of Unit day cun doubt, that to ll some extent, the duels of the State Rights n l J arly held his pledge, that Ins authority “and 0 influence, direct or indirect, legal or illegal, 1 ■should be exerted to procure a recognition ot 31 the principles Cor which they contended, a rev nuncmtion ofthechhn of Federal Supremacy ° and a repeal of the laws of which they com ’’ plained. No one has forgotten Mr. llayne’s I*l justly celebrated speech in tavor of nulhlkn tion which the Author of the Proclamation , t proposed to have printed on satin, framed in gold, and placed among the muniments ot his ir estate, to descend ns an heir loom in Ids fani n ily. No one Ins forgotten the familiar bold i. ness with which South Carolina put forth her r linud to touch the J,ion’s beard, nor the pie i- cipilancy with which she drew it bach, when . he uttered that appalling roar which shook the - land as with an Earthquake, and us. which the s sovereignly of the States and the whole fab t ric or the Constitution came toppling down. » No one who remembers the difference between • the bearing of certain gentlemen before and m after the Proclamation, can doubt, for a mo r mont that thny wore completely .liken by - surprise. It is superfluous at this day to enquire, whether the usurper mediated Irom the first, the treachery he afterwards practiced. That . he “paltered in a double sense,” with both par i ties, is certain. That his jargon of a “judicious f Tariff 1 ,” and of “Internal Improvements of a i national character,” was adopted with a view to such interpretation as ho might find most convenient, cannot be doubled. That he, even then, (conscious that he must break faith , with one parly or the other,) foresaw that it might bo most desirable to betray the weaker, is quite probable. I, for one, anticipated such a, result at the lime. There were not wanting those who tried to convince the lenders of the State Rights Parly, of the danger of giving the South to Federalism, hy placing in the Presidential Choir a man o( {Southern position and Northern principles and holdings. It may be a lesson of practical wisdom to the rash experimenter in politics, to be told, that I\Jr. Randolph, just before his death, declared, “that in the retrospect of his whole life, of the lol lies of youth and the sins of riper years, noth ing so disturbed his last hours, ns the thought that that admonition had been lost on him.” Can we then doubt, sir, that when the phil osophical historian comes to make up his es timate ot the cusses of that sudden revolution which has made the Representatives of the Peojde the mere instruments oftliu Executive will, he will fail to trace it to the impatience of the South under the American System 1 1 know that he will read, in our journals, and in the speeches of onr orators, thin every (lung is ttttrihutftblo to the unequalled popularity of Andrew Jackson. But ho will see that this too, is hut nn effect which must have had a cause ; and ho must be a careless reader, if he does not perceive, that that extraordinary pop ularity did not reach its highest point uuill aj. ter the abuses which it was supposed to excuse. When did he become generally popular ? We know that he was not at first the choice of a majority. Wc know that the mind of the country denied his pretensions with scorn. Wc know that the morn I sense of the country rejected him with abhorrence. Out of his j own State, he was not at first thought of even lin the Western Country, and his nomination there received with ruhcuVo and disgust. But we nrc told, sir, of an honest tierman, in j Pennsylvania, (if now living, lie is doubtless a staunch advocate of the Sub-Treasury,) who | was much addicted to hoar ling. Some time : in the last century, he had put away some of the notes of the tiikn Bank of the United States, which he kept with a miser’s care, un til the year 1833. At that time, he became (alarmed at the removal of the dcposilcs and the outcry against the Bank, and hastening to Philadelphia with his paper, could not be made to believe it possible, that the Bank of the United States which he found there, could be any other than that whose notes he held. We must not laugh at this. It is no whit ir.orc ab surd in its way, than the converse idea, which has lately given birth to a penal law of the United Slates. Wfell, sir, this worthy, ami others his countrymen, who knew nothing of the public history of the country from the siege of York to the battle of New Orleans, look it into their heads, that the victor in the one, could be nothing less than a resurrection of the Hero oftlie other. So they called him “the second Washington,” and dubbed him “the Hero of two Wars,” and “such a yell there rose, of Jackson ! Jackson ! !” burst ing from the thick darkness that ever broods over the benighted vallies of that Bcerian re gion, as left no reasonable doubt, that, if brought forward, lie would receive the vote of that Stale. You remember well, sir, that this first turned from you lolnm, the thoughts of those who before had boasted you as the champion and glory of the West. But they wanted a Western President, as they want Western mints and Western armories, and in land ports of entry, and national turnpikes, parallel to navigable rivers. You will not sus pect me of disparaging your high pretensions, when 1 say, that even you owed a part of your popularity to the obvious thought, that, in you, this wish was most like to he accomplish ’ cd.

They had 1. ho choice but to submit to a second defeat, or c to unite themselves to that brute multitude, ie who could not be made to bear reason. It a may seem strange, how the mind of the conn lti try should submit to belled by passion, preju fjC dice and ignorance. But such things happen, w henever accident supplies the place of con cento those incapable of concert, and sets du herd in motion. The consequence is always such as may be expected from any inversioi 0 of the, order of nature; and such it has been ii ,n | this case.

Men who looked only to laws,and Cort- • Kiitunons, stood aghast at his bold, unhesitating exorcise ol the veto power, while the multitude threw up their caps, ‘As t hey would hung 1 1mm on the horns of the moon.’ and shouted their devotion lo one who indeed ’’ did bear him like a King,” and in whoso face they saw that which the herd, insolent and ser vile, delights to cull “ jmarteu.” They acted over again that see,,., in life’s drama, which the world has been witnessing since the world began, and which encourages princes in the abuse of power. It is mi old lesson, which we, in our t/lo piun dreams, had beer, trying to forget. They ,md S( ‘ cn Imn that which has given popularity lo tyrants from Connnodtw lo Homy VHT. ami' Bonaparte. They saw in him that single-minded' selfishness that strength of will which know', no other law-lhal recklessness of consequence? —that readiness lo reward friends—ihat eager ness to destroy enemies, that subdues opinion by’ despising it and wins fame by defying the detes tation and abhorrence of mankind. Tho place ot these may be supplied hy commanding talents by ongaginc virtues, by wisdom, ,nd by uniforrrf rectitude of purpose. But these are, after all, but’ substitutes for that “spirit of command” which' suits the natural taste of the vulgar, both gteal and small—of the low and vile, tho ignorant and corrumpt, that form (he mass of every people under the sun. Compare tho fate of the first and second Edward—of Elizabeth and James—of Chat lea and Cromwell—of jf.ouie XVI. and Bonaparte.
