MR. TYLER AND ONE TERM. |
Speaking of the circumstances of the last
election and its consequences, the Journal
of Commerce says :
“The removal of Gen. Harrison and the
consequent accession of Mr. Tyler to the
Presidential char eclipsed Mr. Clay’s pros
pects. Mr. Tyler was under no pledge to
one term, and he was just the man for the
occasion.”
Now, Mr. Tyler was under a pledge, and
ij/under a pledge to all intents and purpo
ses. Why has “the one term principle”
been 1/foached ? Every one knaws for one
end only. Namely—that the President may
not use his power and influence in office, to
promote, his own re-election primarily to the
office, but he is absolutely in the position to
use or abuse his authority, in the same de
gree that any of his predecessors were.—
Let us with this consideration turn to Mr.
Tyler’s own declarations. In November
1840 he wrote a letter for the public, in re
ply to certain questions concerning his poli
tical opinions, from which we extract the
following passage.
“ I unhesitatingly declare it my firm con
viction that William Henry Harrison is
qualified to guard and promote the liberties
and happiness of liis country.— * * * *
Because in Ids election and by his example
will be established and secured that great
est of all reforms, without which, the effort
at reformation is hopeless, viz : THE LIM
ITING FOR ALL FUTURE TIME the
Presidential term of service to a single term
of Four years.
What becomes now of the assertion that
Mr. Tyler is not pledged to ‘a single term?’
—ln spirit, in truth, he is pledged.— Nat.

11ENRY CLAY.
The enemies of this greatest of Ameri
can Statesman are applying to him the odi
ous epithet of “Dictator.” The same un
principled party heretofore stigmatized him
as an Abolitionist! This they long since
acknowledged to be unjust and untrue.—
The other is equally so. There is no pub
lic man in our country less obnoxious to the
charge of dictation than Henry Clay. On
the contrary, no prominent statesman has
shown himself so ready to yield private o
pinions on the altar of public peace, and
his country’s good.
The Globe recently referred to the Whig
caucusses at Washington, which it likens to
the Jacobin Clubs of 11 in.! ..tarv France
and says that Henry Clav controlled the
former just ns R dxspi r*c c.mtrnlh-d thi
latter. The “ N. Y. Star, in reply, just
ly says:—“The caucus under the dictation
of Mr. Clay, determined each night upon
the legislation of the morrow ; and thus e
very act of the session was in fact the act
of the Senator from Kentucky. So says
the Globe ; forgetting in its malignity that
the Bank Bills, the Land Bill, the Revenue
Bill, and various other hills, were amended
and modified in opposition to the wishes of
Mr. Clay, and that he was in a minority
over and over again on points which he
deemed of great importance. In other in
stances, in a spirit of concession and com
promise which did him honor, he waived
objections and sacrificed opinions long en
tertained, for the purpose of promoting liar
mony. All this the blackhearted slander
er of the Globe, who murders reputation as
Robespierre murdered men, knew full well
when lie penned the libel."— Mobile Ad

THE GREAT FORGER.
We announced a few days ago the arrest
of Caldwell, the supposed forger, alias Col.
Monroe Edwards, whose operations have
been so extensive recently. We further
’ learn from the New York papers the follow
ing facts in reference to him :
The circumstance led to his arrest are
singular enough. O. M. Lowndes was
on the track of a man named Powell, whom
he pursed to Boston and arrested their, and
from him got some intimation that this Col.
Monroe Edwards was the great forger.
“ lie thereupon posted back to Phila
delphia, and there, though the instrumen
tality ofa colored barber, and the colored
mistress of the Colonel, who sometimes in
boy’s clothing officiated also a valet, found
out the delinquent, and took possession of
him and his effects, among which as before
stated was found $44,000 in hank hills.—
The Col. had, it is conjectured, some assis
tant in Wall street. If so, we shall hear
more of it.
“ This Colonel Monroe Edwards came
to this city some years ago, introduced by
the President of the United States Branch
Bank at Mobile. He desired to bo made
known, and was so, to Mr. Lewis Tappan,
to whom he told a story of having liberated
200 slaves, and that he was then going to
England, to apprise the British Govern
ment of a nefarious scheme of introducing
slaves in Texas. Shortly before embarking
he appled to this gentleman for a loan of
SSOOO, hut before this was granted, Mr.
Tappan took means to ascertain the truth
of the emancipation story, which was found
to be false, and of course no money was
forthcoming. On being apprised of this
fact by Mr. Tappan, he wrote a most abu
sive letter to that gentleman, and went off
to London. Since then, he seems to have
taken up a different line of businesss.
“ A comparison of the handwriting of the
letters that passed between him and Mr.
Tappin, with those addressed to Brown,
Brothers & Cos., proves it to be identical.
“ It is probable this same individual per
petrated the forgeries on Little & Co.—

A Chance for Martyrdom. —At a recent
anti-slavery meeting of Vermont, a very
zealousyoung man introduced a resolution
that a person be appointed to go to the South
and remonstrate with the people there a-
the sin of slavery. The resolution
was adopted and the young man who intro
duced the resolution was appointed to do
the honors of the office which he had been
the means of creating. He backed out;
his youthfulness and modesty not permit
ting him to undertake so arduous a duty.—

A FURIOUS STORM.
Wo were yesterday visited by one of
the severest north easters that we have ex
perienced in many months. The rain fell
copiously and the wind blew u gale through
out the day. Awnings were torn into
shreds, and awning posts blown down in
all directions. The trees on the Battery
and in the Park suffered severely. The
beautiful willow at the northeast corner of
City Hall was torn up by the roots. Seve
ral others were badly broken. Wc fear
that much damage has been done along the
const.
The shipping lying on the north side of
the river suffered considerably from the
storm. A schooner lying in the stream
dragged her anchor and became unmanega
ble. A signal of distress was raised, by
those on hoard, but no one could approach
the vessel, on account of the spray and a
high sea running constantly. She finally
drifted down near the French man of war.
Ever assistance was rendered by those on
board the Belle Poulle and the vessel was
finally secured alongside. Numerous
other vessels dragged their anchors, and
drifted down the Bay—some, it is feared,
have gone ashore. Up to the time of wri
ting ibis paragraph, the storm was increas
ing, and shifting towards the north weast.—
We shall probaly hear of many more dis
asters.

HORRID ACCIDENT ON THE WES
TERN RAIL BOAD!!
We have just received by the Western
Cars the following extra :
Republican Office, )
Springfield , Tuesday Eve, Oct. 5.
■DREADFUL COLLISION OF RAIL
ROAD CARS.
This afternoon !) Eastern and Western
passenger trains of the Vv gstern Rail Road
both going at great speed, met in a “urw
about four miles west of Westfield, and the
effects were shocking and disastrous.—
Westfield depot is the plu<.e for meeting
and passing, but as the train from the west
j was behind its time, the other train went on
the conductor hoping to arrive at the next
turn-out Before meeting the other train.—
! The baggage cars of each train were be
hind, of course bringing the passenger cars
directly behind the locomotive and tender.
The two locomotives, and two or three of
; the passenger cars of each train were
j smashed to a complete wreck. The pas
j setigers “ re jammed and tumbled togeihi r
j in the ruins in dreadful confusion.
We are informed that eighteen or twenty
| have limbs broken—and as many more arc
severely bruised and lacerated in various
ways. Mr. Warren, the conductor of the
train from the West, is shockingly mutila
ted hut his life is not yet despaired of. The
engineer of that train escaped without much
injury. Mr. Moore, the conductor of the
Springfield train, narrowly escaped by
jumping off. M Taylor, the Engineer of
that train, is badly wounded. A voting
lady, niece of Muj. Whistler, is said to he
dangerously hurt. Col. Harvey Chapin is
much bruised, but not dangerously, as is
now hoped. The Rev. S. Elliott, an Epis.
copal Clergyman from South Carolina, and
family left here this noon, were brought
back to the United States Hotel this even
ing in sad condition. The ladies were not
i seriously hurt; but his two'sons were woun
■ ded, one scratched and bruised, and the
other had his leg broken above the knee.
These are all the particular cases of
which we learn.
W e are not sufficiently informed of the
circumstances of this sad accident to make
any comment.
It is reported that Mr. Warren mentioned
above died this morning. He was formerly
conductor of the steamboat train to Norwich
subsequently clerk of the steamboat Wor
i cestcr.
Horrible Accident on Board the Fulton
Steam Ship. —On Tuesday, while some ex
periments were in progress on hoard the
United States steam ship Fulton, in the
lower bay, a 42 pound gun burst carrying
terrible destruction with it ; killing Samuel
Snowman, seaman, and Joseph Philbrook,
ordinary seaman ; and dreadfully wound
ing Joshua Wyman, quarter gunner ; Rus
sel Smith, carpenter’s mate ; Levi Lawson
seaman; Thomas Smith, ordinary seaman;
Richard Bell, landsman ; and John Cooper
seaman.
The gun broke in two outsides of the car
riage and split in the breech—the two parts
of the breech taking different directions, one
landed on the starboard side—(the gun was
on the larboard) —the other went forty feet
aft, carrying away the dispensary and Pur
ser’s store room, and iron staneheons, and
then staving in both starboard steam ehim
nies, which added to the horror of the scene
by filling the ship with steam. The spar
deck is all knocked up. Lieutenant Strong
was thrown fifteen feet in the air, falling on
the hammock netting, without material in
jury.
The experiments in progress were to test
the capacity of the gun to carry a 04 pound
shot or shell. Ten pounds of powder had
been several times tried, and the charge
was increased to 12, with the above terri
ble result, on the 6th fire. There was no
one within thirty feet of the gun when it
exploded, the charge being ignited with a
slow match. Brother Jonathan.
The President. —A wreck is reported in
tiic Belfast, Ireland, Vindicator, as seen and
and examined on the 29th August, near
the Azores. It consisted of the side of an
immense vessel, having the beams erect re-
S’ mbling masts, the other side was away.
All hands concurred iti opinion that it was
the wreck of a large steamer. It may or
may not have been part of the hulk of the
President. If, as lias been conjectured, the
above mentioned vessel struck on the ice of
Newfoundland, it is highly probable thatthe
great Atlantic current, which sets in from
the north during jhe summer, may have
drifted the ill-fated ship thus far to the
southward.
THE SALEM TUNNEL.
There is seldom seen on any of the many
excellent Railroads with which this country
is favored, a more interesting section than j
that which passes through, or under the
city of Salem, in Massachusetts. This tun
nel extends about LOO yards, passing un
der, and parallel to the centre of Court
street, which is'one of the broadest and
handsomest streets in the city. The tun
nel is ventilated and lighted by three coni
cal apertures—which appear in the middle
of the street, and six or eight rods apart —
each of which is surrounded by an elegant
iron fence, of which four of the posts, ex
tend about ten feet high, and bending in
ward, unite in the support ofa large street
lamp and lantern. These conical fabrics
of ornamental iron work, servo as orna
ments to the street, while they protect these
vertical windows of the Railroad. A trav
eller whose motive is curiosity, will seldom
behold a more interesting sight than that of
tlie subterranean passage of a train of long
splendid cars, as seen by him while stand
ing in the middle ofa popular street, lean
ing on the railing and looking down into
one of these well-finished shafts, as one
looks into a common well. In a stranger,
who should not be acquainted with thecir
cumstanees, this phenomenon, followed as
it usually is by the ascent of a volume of
| smoke, would he very likely to produce a
considerable degree of astonishment if not
consternation.— N. Y. Mechanic.

Shape of the Earth. —Recent scientific
observations made by the British Royal
j Engineers, it would seem, have confirmed
the opinion of M. Lacaille, that not only is
our pianet not round, hut is not even a per
fect spheroid. The southern and north
ern hemispheres according to observations,
are pretty nearly ascertained to differ mate
rially in dimensions and figure. Lacaille
ascertain and from nr -i.u.iin i;t in ntrd in
France, and afterwards at tin Cape of Good
Hope, “the length ofa degree was as great
in lat. 33 S., as in 45 N. There is some
discrepancy, we should judge, in the terms
ofthis proposition, but its meaning may be
apparent nevertheless. The fact intended
to be expressed, however, having been
doubted, has now been nearly proved, from
. oxperimi ms conducted with greater precis
ion by the Royal Engineers. Our once
■ round world tin n,which had been thought
to have lately assumed the oblong form of’
an egg, it. is at length discovered .looks more
like a pear, or French turnip ! — Nantucket.

Relics of the Spanish Armada. —Lieuten
ant Paterson, of the coast-guard, succeeded
: n weighing and bringing ashore a large
iron gun, a six pounder, and evidently of
Spanish or Portuguese manufacture. It is
much corroded, and measures six feet six
inches in length, one foot in diameter at the
breech, and about three and a half inches
at the boro ; and it was found n< ar Collis
ion, at a place called St. Catharine’s Pot,
where, according to tradition prevalent on
the spot, one of the famous Spanish Arm a
da was lost. The gun is loaded, and there
are several others at the same place.
Sleeping in Church. —lt is a merited mat
ter of record, that about one hundred years
ago, an Indian was conducted by a discreet
burgess to witness the service of the sanc
tuary on the Lord’s day When these ser
vices were ended, the citizen on his way
homewards, in order to impress upon his
tawny friend the superiority of Christianity
over heathenism, entered into detail of the
money appropriated by the congrega
tion, of which he was a member, for the sup
port of public worship, the erection of the
house, the salary of the minister, &c. To
all this the son of the forest, who had obser
ved the drowsy’ disposition that pervaded the
assembly, replied, “Umpli! Indian sleep
just as sound under a tree, and not pay any
thing.”— Boston Mercantile Journal.
A Puzzling Case. —A calls B a liar. B
brings an action for defamation. A proves
in Court that B Itad himself boasted of lying.
The counsel for B objected to this as an ev
idence that B was a liar, on the ground that
if he was not a liar, ho was not of course, in
the nature of things, whatever he might
have said about it: and if he w'as a liar,
whv then his own assertion to that effect ;
could not be allowed in evidence. On the
other hand A’s counsel contended that if B
was a liar, why then he was, and A’s asser
tion being true, he must be acquitted atonce,
but if B was not a liar, then his own asser
tion that he was one, was itself a lie, and
proved A’s assertion correct. How was it ?

IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT IN |
THE TRANSPORTATION OF
COTTON BY WATER.
A patent has recently been obtained by !
George R. Griffin, Esq. of Alabama, for an
improvement in the manner of transporting
cotton to market by water, which promises
to he a thing of great importance to the pro
ducers of that article, as its conveyance is
rendered independent of steamboats or other
vessels, and can be effected when the wa
ter in our rivers is so low as not to admit of
the passing of the lightest craft. The bales
of cotton are made into rafts, and for this
purpose cases of water-proof canvas are
provided for each bale, which shall cover
its bottom and four sides ; and these are to
be furnished with a lid of the same material
which in periods of heavy rain may be made
to cover the top or upper part ; also provis- j
ion is made for combining these bales to- 1
gether so as to form a raft of uny desired di- i
mansions. In narrow passes they may be
so arranged as not to have more than two
halos in width, and where the channel ad
mits of it the width may bo increased ad
libitum.
A well packed bale of two feet in height):
will not draw more than six inches of wa
ter ; and should the bales ground they may I
readily be floated off without injury.— j
Boards are to be loosely laid upon the hale j
to facilitate the walking upon tho raft.— j
The envelopes will last a number of years, J
and will soon repay their first cost. In one
disastrous year it is said that half a million j
of dollars were lost by the destruction of
cotton on our rivers ; and every year the
loss is immense. When we add to this the
j impossibility of navigating our waters at
| many seasons of the year, which the mode
of conveyance in question appears likely to
obviate, its actual economy may become a
great recommendation of it. At all events
the patentee, who is well acquainted with
the business, has evinced his own confi
dence in the utility of the plan by ordering
a sufficient number of tho water-proof en
velopes to give, at his own expense, a prac- 1
tical demonstration of its value ; and who
will not wish him the most perfect success?

T.HE HOOSIER AND THE YANKEE.
*Wui now, stranger,’ said the Yankee,
I suppose you tell us and”! ‘our own country
I you’re the only man lever seen . WCS B
that did not die of fever n’agur.
‘Well, old \ ankee, I'll just tell you ail
about it. If a farmer in our country plants
his ground with corn & takes first rate care
on it, he’ll git a hundred bushels to the a
crc ; if he takes middlin’ care of it he’ll
gitseventy-fiv bushels io the aero rand if
1) don’t plan a! all lie’ll gi; fitly.’
I’he beets grow so iarg, that it tale s
three yoke ofo.xen to pull a full sized one;
arid then it leaves a hole so large, that I
once knew a family of five children, who
all tumbled in a beet hole once before it got
filled up, arid the earth caved in upon them
and they all perished.
The trees grow so large that I once knew
a man, who commenced cutting one down
. and whi n he had cut away on one side for
about ten days, he thought he’d jist take a
, look round the tree ; and when he got round
on t’other side, he found a man there who
hail been cutting at ii for three weeks—and
they never heard one another’s axes.
I have heard tell, yet somewhat doubt
that story, that the Ohio parsnips have
• sometimes grown clean through the earth,
and have been pulled through by the peo
ple on t’other side.”
‘Wal now,’ says the yankeo, ‘I rather
guess as how you’ve told enough, stranger
for the present, flow’d you like to trade
for some clocks to sell out west ?
‘Never use’em—wc keep time altogeth
er with pumkin vines. You know they
grow just five feet an hour, and that’s an
inch a minute. Don’t use clocks at all.—

the same sketch was so well taken, that
when the artist came to finish, the bristles
; in the brush were so well mixed that you
could’nt tell “which from t’other.”
It is not true that this painter boils his j
own dinner by the resemblance of a fire on !
canvass, or that he can paint a gun so nat
urally, that it will cock itself and go off
when a thief conies into the room. These
outrageous reports only injure his fame,
