AIR. VAN BUKEN. It is amusing to see the long list of objections, of ancient date, now lruui|>ed up agniust Mr. Van Burett, by rlto very men who wore shouting and huzzaiug for him a few years ago; nor is it less ludicrous to witness th .ir outcry agaiust the Ral- tiniore Convention, when every body knows.

Townsend, from several of the passengers, and from our reporter, who li.is been actively engaged the whole of this morning in obtaining all the iitfvi m itiou within his reach'on ho lt sides of the river. It appears that the unfortunate boat was this morning unusually late iu making her first trip, and that being so detained, some fifteen mt-cha- nics who hadoeeu waiting for her, and who were anxious to get from Long Island, had got on board a small boat and were uiukipg their way over, uiilig great exertions to head the Boston. 'File Boston finding herself close upon the small boat, and the tide running ve y strong, shifted her positiou. At this inomont the ferry bom was seen, driving with the current fast upon the Bos ton.

Before they met, the engine had made several revolutions back, and tyiieu they did strike, the concussion was so slight as to be scarcely felt on board. Every effort was immediately made to save as many as possible from the ferry boat—the small boats were both lowered, and almost every tbiug on deck that would float, together with ropes, was thrown over, aud they tiad the sntis- factiouof thus saviug about fifteeu lives.

Look the country over, and find his .equal. What other politician in tho whole United States could bear such an ordeal T Who besides him wonld like to pave every act of his life brought in re- viowf overy word criticised, every thought exposed? Allowing all his enemies say of Mr Van Buren, what does the charge amouut to ? Why, that he was willing to allow men of color, of good character and standing, in the State of New York, the right of suf frage. This regulation was not made to affect the slava States at all—it was to be confined tq his own state. Aud here it may be asked, what right have wt to intermeddle with, or inquire about, tho internal reg ulations of New York? Is a legislator in tlie state of New York io be arraigned iu Georgia for his public acts in his own state ? Let us be cautions, how we ex pose ourselves to the same charge of which we accuse tho Abolitionists, tliat of intermedling with what does no? coqcern them. On life question, whether negroes ought to be allow, cd, under any circumstances the privilege of yoting,or not, politicians orenot yet agreed. Iu -ome of the states negroes enjoy this privilege, in others they dp not.— And whether they do or not, has never to our knowl edge been a question of much interest orinqniry Had this privilege been a source of great danger, we should never have seen it extended as it has been in the slave states. Strange, that Negro suffrage in North Caroli na,Tenne--ee, &c. should be harmless, while in New York it is fraught with such dieadful consequen ces. Had it been so alarming and dangerous to the li berties of the South, Judge White would never have tolerated tlie feature in tlie constitution of Tennessee, with his great influence in that state. Strange, that it should all at ouce he discovered so fraught with dan- gtr, when all suathern politicians from John C Ca 1 versy until after the election is over; I hope he wi!!| never renew it in the public prints again, if he has a private feud against Dr. Fort, they live in the same community, the Dr- is his equal at least, and if their imauid friends cannot settle the matter when they a)| get together in Millcdgeville in November'next, then let hilt) pursue sqch a course as private gentlemen u- siptliy do to get satisfaction in such a way as may suit his own views and feelings, butdonut trouble tlie pub lic any more with his private griefs. I, for one, if the Doctor has injured him, would have him redressed to ihe utmost; my object, as before, is to conciliate and lake the controversy from before the public. The writer over the signature of Oconee lias put forth on- other piece in tlie paper of tlie 23d lilt, in which he Avery again.—Ephraim K. Avery wa9 in at tendance at the Springfield (Mass.)
