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. Gaz. 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 vertiser. 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.— United Stales. 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.— Unite ]. Stptes. From the New York Sun , Oct. . r )th. 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. From the Boston Atlas. 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.

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. Inquirer. 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 ? The spirit of the press in the South West. Our cotemporary of the Natchez Courier comes out for Henry Clay in a most enthu siastic manner. In his own spirited lan guage he goes for “Henry Clay’ while his head is above the sod.” We are with you heart and soul friend Duffield, and when the contest, comes, none shall be found more earnest, unflinching, and faithful than wc.

The citizens of Lcxiugton, Ky. have pur- j chased the farm on which the Hon John J. Crittenden was horn, and made htm a pres- I vut of !*■. It cost $17,000 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? Nat. Int. 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.

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.— , Its no use, old Yankee, we can’t trade no how. The Y ankee gave up beat, and suddenly cleared out.

These outrageous reports only injure his fame, and he requests us to say that he shall not j consider himself a proficient in his art un- } j til he can paint a newspaper that will read j j itself out aloud. — N.
