Wo make an extract from a private letter
which we have received from an officer of
the ?lh Infantry.
Corpus Christi, Sept. 12th, 1845.
Jl/y Dear Sir—Gloom like a pall hangs
over our whole camp. The steamer Day*
ton, while on her way from this to Aransas,
to-day, burst her boiler when about fifteen
miles from here, and sunk in about eight
feet water; seven persons were killed aud
seventeen injured. Among the killed were

Infantry. The other names I do n<

lions in Georgia/ It is gratifying to learn, that in list of iboee who were kUled and wound-
sevenl counties where difficulties existed in cons©-
queues of supernumerary candidates, they have been
satisfactorily and amicably adjusted. It is equally
painful to learn, that there an other cpnnties in
which no reconciliation has yet been effected.—
These filings ought not so to be. 'Every demo
crat ought to emulate every other democrat in
making the greatest sacrifice for the sake of har
mony. What can we gain by division and schism
in our ranks? They weaken us and strengthen
our opponents in the contest. They hazard the as
cendency of our principles. They afford to the
Whigs, a sort of fiendish joy. These considera
tions ought to bring every Democrat to the adoption
of the maxim—every Hung for the cause.
But a word of warning,on another head. Be
ware of the secret and underhanded stratagems of
the Whigs. Through their Executive Committee,
they have avowed that it is their u policy to operate
privately.” Democrats may therefore, look for the
country to be flooded with band bills and documents.
They may be expocted to be assailed by leading
Whigs who hare their instructions tram bead quar
ters, when and wherever a secret opportunity pre-
fonts itself. They may expect to have the glories
ot Gov. Crawford’s administration tMspered seftly
in their can, in the dark or in a eoner. They may
expect to be told that Tariffi Bank, Distribution and
modification of Veto and Annexation have nothing
to do with this election; and that they can vote for
Gov. Crawford, without abandonment of principle.
Democrats, listen not to these things, said in a cor
ner—or in secret When approached with such
honied words, challenge the Whig to “ public dis
cussion,” and he will depart from you. In other
words, obey the Scripture injunction—“ resist the
devil and be will flee from yon.”—Federal Union.

Governor Crawford and the Reverted
The Governor has given a construction to the act
respoefing revetted lands, in his great anxiety to
raise a fund “ to financier upon,” which does a sig
nal injustice to bis follow citizens. Several persons
wo understand in this county, and (many elsewhere)
who have paid for and improved their lands, and
teen in possession of them for years, have suffered
great injustice from tho construction.
We present a brief analysis of the act Tho first
section repeals other acts on this subject The se
cond section forfeits ungranted lands to the State,
inter a specified day. The third section authorizes
any person, a citizen of tho State, after specified
days to pay certain sums of money into tho treasury,
but it does not authorize the issuing tf a grant. The
legislature may have intended to insert the words
and grant,” but it has not done so. His excellen
cy; perhaps, by a latitude of construction, and for
the benefit of speculators, >;ipplies the words, and
grants to strangers other people’s lands.
The fourth section provides for deciding upon the
tights of contesting opponents. The fifth section
tixes the description of persons, who alone arts enti
tled to grants under tho laws, provided tho Governor
i.i justified in supplying a record in the third section.
The persons entitled to grant under tho law ore—
1st, The drawer: 2d The creditor of the drawer:
3d The owner if the land.
tiiu nnu oeciHm ucuus acts Is comprehensive, and
includes all persons applying for grants. It says
that any person mailing application for grants,
should make affidavit, See. This is equivalent to
saying that every person applying fora grant shall
make the personal affidavit. Those pcrsgns alone,
who are authorized by the Suits to make the affida
vit prescribed by the law, can procure a grant—
Then the persons described in the fifth section of the
net above, to wit, the drawer of the lot, or his friend
for him; the creditor of the drawer, or tho owner,
tiro the persons who alone arc entititled to grant
lands until further legislation.
When a man’s rights are to bo taken from him, it
must not be done by construction. It is hard enough
when it is dono by unambiguous words, or in plain
unequivocal terms. The Governor, it is understood,
lias disregarded tho fifth section of the act referred
to, and granted from the proper owners an immense
number of tract* of land. This would not have been
done if he had required the applicants in all cases to
iTinko the affidavit required by law. Upon what au
thority has he granted hinds without requiring the
oath?
Hundreds of honest, some of them widowed par-
chasers have had their lands swept from under them
by this unjust interpretation. Let' the people read
the act for themselves, and they will then see bow
the “ financiering good Governor” tramples on their
rights and divests them of their property. This is
almost as bsd as his affiur of the Central Bank, in
which he as a public servant was instructed to ex
amine into the condition of that institution and make
a just and true report thereof to the people. He made
his report and pronounced the institution wholly in
solvent; whereupon a panic immediately ensued,
and tho holders of bills of the Bank had to submit to
immense losses. The bills were bought up by bro
kers and financiering gentlemen, and in less than
twelve months after the appearance of that celebra
ted report, the Central Bank money was at par.—
For our part, we neither understand or like this whig
“ financiering” administration. Give us a plain
coiling democratic Governor, and wo will be content

some of the bodies not yet having been
found. These, though, were all the offi
cers
The explosion took place at half-past
12o’clock, in day lime, and Dr. Griitcnden,
who wason board (slightly injured) informs
me that she sunk in fifteen minutes after,
and as she went down, (covered by the
water) another boiler exploded, v ith a most
tcrific report.
Another body (deck hand) has jus been
brought in. Yours in haste.
Letters of a subsequent day inform us
that the bodies of all those lost nad been re
covered. One of the wounded (a colored
deck hand) died the next day the other
sixteen were less injured than was at first
apprehended and no fears were entertained
for them. We trust that t he number killed
will not exceed eight. The steamboat it
self is an utter loss;
Since writing the above, we regret to
learn that eleven in all were killed, name
ly ; Lieuts. Higgins and Uerry, one sergeant
one corporal, two discharged soldiers, one
duck hand, and the rest not stated. Lieut.
Wm. Gordon, of the 3d Infantry, was one
of the officers standing with Opt. Cross-
man. His injuries are slight. Lieut. Gra
ham, of the 4th Infantry, was slightly scald
ed. Dr. Grittenden, of the ?th Infantry,
was thrown down and much bruised by
timbers which fell upon him, but he was
ngain about.
Capt. West, the clerk of the boat, was
badly scalded. The cook, a lad, was so
severely burnt nnd scalded that it was
thought on the 15th he could not possibly
survive. Tlte pilot of the boat ltaann arm
broken. Cabt. Nicholis, of the Texan
sloop Cutter, who was on board the boat,
had one of his legs broken. A Mr. Graves
was also badly Durnt and scalded. The
remains of those who perished had been de
cently interred.
On the morning of the 14th instant n
company of traders arrived at Gen. Taylor’s
camp. They reported that they had seen,
within two da vs’ march of the camp, about
two hundred Lipnns nnd as many Cnm-
,'inches on their way to Mctamoros (by in-
vitntion from Mexico) to'join tho forces to
be directed against Gen. Taylor. The re
port of the traders was but half credited.
Gen. Taylor sent out Lieut. Scnrritt with
nn escort of forty dragoons to reconnoitre
for 30 or 40 miles about, to ascertain every
thing possible, nnd he no doubt has spies
pushed further ahead.
The report ns lo the health of the troops,
both volunteers and regulars, is entirely fa-
vorahle. Not a word nod been heard, savo
via New Orleans, of Gen. Arista, nor was
there any expectation of hearing of him in
the shape of an attack. Gen. Taylor, how
ever, was ever on the alert.

Tho steamship Alabama arrived at an

Arrival of (lie
STEAMER BRITANNIA.
I'WELVE DA YS LATER FROM EUROPE.
The British Mail Steamship Britannia, Captain
Hewitt, arrived here this morning at about 10 o’-
clock, having left Liverpool on the afternoon of tho
4th inst. By her we have received our regular
file* of.Liverpool papers to the 4th, London to die
3d, and Paris to the 1st inst.
Tho Britannia brought out 74 passenger* from
Liverpool to Boston, 18 from Liverpool to Halifax,
and 18 from Halifax to Boston. Among the passes}*
gers are the Hon. Edward Everett and hi* family.
The commercial advices by the Britannia are
favorable. Business was active in the manufactur
ing district*,—a decided improvement had taken
place at Liverpool, in American cotton, and the low*
er qualities were selling at better rates. The iron
trade was brisk, and the corn trade was depressed.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were still upon
the continent At the last advices, on tho 30th alt,
they were at tho city of Gotha, at which place they
made their public entrance on the 28th. They were
residing there at the palace of the Duchess Pauline,
the grandmother of Prince Albert. The royal party
were to leave Gotha an their return, on the Sd inst,
and expected to arrive at Antwerp on the 6th, and
pars thence in the Victoria and Albert, steam yacht
to the Isle of Wight
The Hon. Louis McLane, the American Minister
at tho British Court, had taken op his residence at
38 Hosley, street Cavendish Square.
Tho Acadia arrived out 11} days from
one of tho shortest voyages ever made.
Tho state of trade is in most respects satisfactory.
The demand for all the lending staples whether
Sugar, Coffee, Wool or Cotton, is so steady as to
indicate e healthy consumption, and the supplies
are sufficient to check any exborbitant advance.
Three is a complete famine in Poland, so that no
supplies of wheat can be expected from that quarter.
From Germany we learn that the religious dis
turbances at Leipaic have not been renewed, and
that the popular irritation has been allayed by the
King's prompt compliance with the request of the
citizens in regard to a commission of inquiry.
Ijverpool, Aug. 29.—Cotton.-!The bright and
apparently settled weather of the last three days, to
gether with the accounts by the hat packet which
are generally considered to be in favor of holders,
have given us a strong and somowhat advancing
market. The actual change in the quotations to
but slight, but there to a decided increase of confi
dence and firmness with which the article to held,
and there can hardly be any doubt that, with a good
harvest time, our market will do more than support

We should think no intelligent whig would ask
information en a subject so notorious; but since
they have asked ns to give them information, we
will comply, and shall take Judge Berrien’s own
words.—We presume the whigs will allow him to
speak for himself, and will perhaps admit he knows
his own opinion. In a speech delivered at Spring-
field in Mass., in 1844, and which was published in
many of the whig papers at the North, be says,—

on the subject of Protection, he say,—“ But let me

People of Georgia!
The election which to to take placo on Monday
next, will decide the political character and policy
of yonr State, and wield an important influence in
tho councib of the General Government for years to
come.
Tho principle upon which our government was
founded, was political equality. It was this
principle for which our lathers fonght the battles of
the Revolution, and severed their connexion with a
government whose laws were unequal and oppress
ive, and whose ruling principle was raoTECTiox To
THE FEW AT T1IE EXPENSE OF THE MAST. Will yon
submit to a system of vassalage voluntarily, which
yonr fathers periled their property and their lives to
sever ? Will you be robbed of your money and
yonr political equality with your follow citizens ?—
suffer the violation of the letter and spirit of the
Constitution, and the destruction of the principle
upon which our government rests—and take promi
res of payment in future benefits to be derived from
the charities or tender mercies of the manufacturer
and banker. Let every Georgian vote for such men
only as are opposed to all uheqnal tows—a Protec
tive Tariff, a National Bank, or any other laws
which confer powers and privileges upon a few,
which are denied to all. Let the rich be content
that he to protected .in his person and property, with
out claiming the exclusive favors of Government.—
let the poor man determine never to yield any polit
ical right, however specious may be the plea upon
which it to asked. It is the tendency of government
to draw power and wealth from the laboring millions,
and concentrate it in the hands of a favored few
This can never be done by equal laws—which are
guaranteed to us by toe Constitution. Guard, there
fore, every approach to this citadel of your rights—
fear no mere party trammels in a matter of ruch vi
tal importance, but speskandact ts for yourselves,
your children, and your country.
A new State has been added to our Union, thus
giving another security for the final triumph of re
publican liberty over monarchical oppression. The
annexation of Texas has been hailed with joy by the
friends of free government throughout the world, and
his overwhelmed our enemies with confusion and
astonishment. The hand writing on the wall be
gins to be legible in the palaces of kings, which
tells them that the sceptre or tyranny to departing
from their grasp. Are there any among us who are
opposed to the final consummation of this wire and
bcnefiicent measure, and who would reject tho Con
stitution of Texas when submitted to the Ameri
can Congress for ratifiestisn ? If so, he is un
worthy of your suffrage. Let your vote* be cast
for such men as are sound upon this subjecU-such
men as will put the seal of your condemnation up
on the false, anti-southern, anti-republican doctrines
of John M. Berrien and bis clique. The South has
long enough been misrepresented under the time.
to no longer any diversity in our great party.” Let
it bo remembered that Judgo Berrien was speaking
to an andience of High Protectionists, in Federal
Massachusetts, and was frequently applauded to the
skies—becoming animate^ be declared that, “A
man who is opposed to the principles of Protection
may be a good British subject; but I swear he is
not an-American patriot.” Warming with his sub
ject, and as if determined to leave no room for cither
bis friends in Georgia or Massachusetts to doubt,
he declared in the same speech,—“ I am for protec
tion—not incidental nor accidental, but protection
for the sake of protection.” This we should say
was sufficient on this subject. If Judge Berrien
knows his own sentiments, and if whig editors re
port his speeches carefully, then every whig must
admit tho Judgo has settled that point conclusively.
W? will now proceed to give a small part of the
proof wo have, that many of tho whig leaders would
be willing to surrender Oregon to the British, and
Texas to the Mexicans. We say whig leaders, be
cause wo believe that the great body of tho whig
party, are as brave and patriotic as the democrats,
and would not be willing to surrender any of our
rights to avoid a war, but many of those who con
trol! the party when in power, and give tone to the
party at oil times, are so much interested in preserv
ing peace with Britain that they have frequently
been willing, and we believe are still willing to
sacrifice the honor and interest of tho country to
promote their own objects. Of this we have strong
confirmation in the conduct of Daniel Webster, and
other whig leaders, in settling the- North east Boun
dary. They gave to the British a largo portion of
Territory which, even the King of Belgium, the
relative and protege of the British Sovereigns, had
awarded to us. Then they werq willing to sacrifice
a large part of the State of Maine to avoid a war
with Britain. And that veiy concession has proba
bly embolden Britain to claim Oregon,—believing
from post experience we would be willing to make
any concession rather than risque a war with them
By Oregoo, we mean of course that pert which to in
dispute between the two nations. Who ever has
read the columns of the New York Tribune, Nation*
al Intelligencer, Boston Atlas, end many other load
ing Whig Journals, would hardly need eak where
we get proof that they are in fovor of giving up that
part of Oregon to Britain. As sooo as Sir R. Peel’s
speech reached this country, nearly every whig pa
per in the United States abased Mr. Polk for pro-
suming to assert tint our title to Oregon was dear.
Had we room we could make hundred* of
from these papers* to prove what we say. We will
only give one from the Tribune asa specimen:
“The men who are here truly represented as so
tenacious of ‘Notional Honor* aa to insist on going
to war at an expense of countless millions to main
tain a doubtful title to land* ’not worth a dollar,’
are the very lads who don’t scruple to let their State
Debts go unpaid, principal and interest, year after
year; and who add to the impudence of scoundrel-
ism the mnonnesa of falsehood by pretending that
they can’t pay their interest But they have cash
enough to spend in a bloody war for a tract of
worthless land lying hundreds of miles farther North
than Quebec on the Pacific Ocean. This to ‘Na
tional Honor,’ of the same pattern with libertines',
gamblers’, ‘duelist*’ honor, the world over.”
On the subject of Texas, we could heap “Ossa on
Pelion,” until our proof amounted to volumes.—
Of course, it has not a shadow of rightful for^..
we may fairly presume that the Sapm*
will pronounce it null and void. CoMpirtton!^

may, but forget not the day of retribution.” ^
“ Whenever the whig party shall take gnaajL
fovor of war to sustain and prosecute such ariHa,
as the Annexation of Texas, it will hare becawa
very small party.”
On this subject the whig press in Geogjtfese
changed nearly as often as the wind. Lutfaktl
were opposed to itsoon alter Texas was anseit}
some of the whig* claimed annexation as a«k>
measure, and brought about by whig votes, “
soon as we were threatened with war on aceoantj
Texas, the immense debt which it will bring otq
the country, to paraded in staring capitals before ca
oyes, and those “ horrid cannibals, the Pawnees, tfc
Comanche* and the Karankaways,” are height to
ward by whig editors, to frighten the people, fl,
we not bear them every day declare that Mexico hi
beep robbed, that the annexation of Texas m 0
better than stealing, and can we doubt if they n
honest, that they would be willing to return this
len property to those they consider the rightful oto
ers ? But aa the prospect of war diminishes, tb
war tone of the whig prose gets, louder and 'louder.
Already they are hardly willing, if wo may ale
their word for it, to let the democrats do any of the
fighting, and we have no doubt if our governors:
should be able to settle all of our difficulties poun-
bly, their “ voice will be still for war.”
Col. Mitchell, of Thomas.
The answers of this gentleman to the Demount!:
Committee of Thomas and Decatur, is a political cu
riosity. It appears to ua to be filled with the met
palpable contradictions and absurdities from begin
ning to end. He in the first place concedes tie
right of the people to interrogate their canditas
on all subjects of great and vital importance, aid
then abuses the Committee who were appointed ly
the people, for presumiag to question him on such
and such subjects, and tella them what question
they should hare asked, and what not If the can
didate has tho right to dictate and instruct the peo
ple, then the right of instruction to very different iron
what we b*d supposed. Again, Col. Mitchell says
he is in fovor of a strict construction of the Condi
tion, yet he to in fovor of the distribution of the pro
ceeds of the public lands among the States, the abo
lition of the veto power, and if we mistake not, is to
favor of the Tariff of 1812. He says he has always
acted with the State Rights party,yet he supported
Henry Clay, the lather of the High Tariff system,
and John M. Berrien, who declares he to in favor of
’protection for the sake of protection,’—that “ a row
who is not in fovor of protection may be a very good
British subject, but swears he cannot be an Ameri
can patriot;” yet Col. Mitchell says he exports to
vote for this distinguished gentleman for Senate:.
Again the Colonel says he was in fovor of the an
nexation of Texas, yet he voted for Henry Chy, whs
declared he waa not in fovor of annexation, so long
as any considerable portion ofour citizens were op-
poaed to it, well knowing that a considerable portion
(the abolitionists) would always be opposed to it-
Again the Colonel says be has.ne foultto find with
Judge Cole’s conduct on the Bench, and w ill vote
for him “if no one Better qualified is a candidate.’'
Indeed, Colonel, how much better qualified wo*U
you have a man, than one with whom no foult could
be found ?
In the conclusion of, tho Colonel’s answers, wo
think, we may bo mistaken, but wo do think, die
Colonel blusters and swaggers and puffo a little. It
may be his wayj hot if it is, it to not very ccost-
tent with his previous acknowledgement of tho right
of the people to question their Finally,
the Colonel winds op his roost singular production;
by telling the Committee that their whole perform
ance smelt of *bo work abop, and partook of a for
eign brogue. Well what if ft does, Colonel, are not
mechanics very respectable people, iftbey do “stocK
of the workshop” sometimes. And are notsocrw
ofour Scotch and Irish neighbors among our best
citizens, iftbey do “show a strong; foreign brogue t"
Upon the whole, we think the Colonel’s whole pro
duction one of the most precious -specimens of tbs
rigmarole we have ever seen, and however well it
may auit among the digger* of the gold region, we
do net think it will paaa muster among the enlight
ened voters of Thomas and Decatur.
Very Good.
