I can never consent that the vote of Georgia shall be con ferred on the Whig candidate, or that it shall so soon again be thrown away in the Presidential electi n; involving, as it does, the great antagonist principles which have divided parties from the formation of the government. In the controversies in which I have recently, and .formerly, been engaged, I It ive injured - the feelings, and lost the confidence, of many valued friends. The regrets arising from this source are not fully removed even by the confide nee <>f the many friends who. iiav. arisen during the storms through which I have passed. They are not fully removed even bv the conscious ness of having successfully combatted error, or li n ing exposed the insincerity of a man who has thrown himself upon every current, and taken advantage of every breeze, which has seemed calculated to carry him to the port of public honor. To those who have felt aggrieved by the pieces I -have occasionally published for some years, I have only to say, it would he well for them to remember, that, if disposed to complain, l, too, could enumerate substantial cause of grief. But the public shall n >l unnecessarily be annoyed by the recital of wrongs sustained by the writer of these pieces. If any with whom I have ever acted have heretofore believed, or should hereafter believe, that they have had sufficient reason to decline further concert, let them do, as I would do under similar circumstances, decline further concert. I do not say this in disregard of valued as sociations which I would willingly perpetuate, hut in justice to friends having equally or greater ability and opportunity to judge for themselves. Under all circumstances, let personal friendship—! had like to have said, ‘brotherly love’—continue. In my future efforts, I will endeavor to give as lit tle offence as the proper disposition of matters in hand may allow. I shall not feel bound, however, to pa-s by aggressions on my feelings or charade-; or on th >>e of my personal or political friends; but shall feel at perfect liberty, if need be, to notice either. In conclusion I’have only to add, that, having done myself justice in the controversy, with M. 1 am for the present satisfied, and willingly pass to other matters!

AWFUL CALAMITY’. Loss of Steamboat Lexington, with nearly every soui \ on boar/l, in number front 1 50 to 200 person::. By yesterday’s Eastern Mail we learn the particu lars of a most appalling calamity, involving tiie h’S- j of about one hundred and fifty lives in consequence j of the conflagration of the Steamboat Lexington, j while on her way from New York to Providence. All the details which have reached us are subjoined. P j will he seen that panic and terror in the extreme fol lowed the annunciation of the fact that the steamboat was on fire,.and that tlmse vile* rushed into the small boats under their-influence, while the steamboat was under full wav, were all suddenly lost. The burning of the hempen till* r ropes, so*m after, rendered the vexsei unmanageable, and the ti-e of this article, in defiance of the Act of Congress, doubtless h d to the loss of many ’lives. We are verx sorry to learn tint letters have been ^received mthiscitx stating that Mr. John K-irle, -nd Mr. G. W. Walker, Mr. Keith’s son in-law, left Now York in the steamer Lexington on the day of her fa tal disaster. There are also strong grounds ! *r be lief that Mr. Church, formerly-of the firm of Messrs. A. Lillv & Co., and Mr. A. Weston, of the firm of Weston, Pendexier& Co., of.this city w ere on board. From the X. Y. Journal of Commerce, Jan. 15, 2P. M. Onr community has been thrown into great excite ment and grief, in consequence of the news of the lo-s of the steamboat Lexington, which left here on Mon day afternoon for Providence, and nearly all tiie per sons on hoard perished. A letter from Norwalk, received some hours since, announced the fact that a steamboat laid been burnt off tluu port, and that it was supposed to be the Lex ington. But the full extent of the calamity was not known, nor scarcely anticipated, until halt an hour since, on the arrival of the Nimrod, Capt. Brooks, from New port. Among the passengers, wp understand, were Ro bert Blake of Wrcntham; a Mr. Fowh r of this ciu; Wm. A. Green, firm of Allen Sc Green, Providence; Samuel Henry, of Manchester (Eng.) ( has. H.

Steamboat Lexington destroyed by Jire, and nearly two hundred, tires lost!! The Lexington left New Y rk for Stonington, on Monday, 3 o’clock, P. M., having, it is believed, •about one hundred and fifty passengers. A large -quantity of Cotton was placed upon Iter decks. At 7 o’clock, when about two miles from Eaton’s Neck, •the cotton took fire near the smoke pipe. The boat was beaded for tlie shore as soon as the ! efforts to extinguish the fire proved unsuccessful. She | was provided with three boats—yet such was the pa nic which took possession of all minds that they were hoisted out while the boat was still under headway ( and immediately swamped. The engine a few min- j utes after gave way, leaving her utterly unmanagea ble. The scene which then ensued, is described as most appalling. Captain Chester Hilliard, of Norwich, a passenger , on board from whom we have guth- red these few par ticulars, states that soon after the engine stopped, the | passengers began to leave the boat on boxes, bales, ta-trophe, is exceedingly imperfect. It may be well imagined that our informant is hardly in a situation ] to furnish many details. From the Republican Farmer, ) Bridgeport, Jan. 15th. <j STEAMBOAT LEXINGTON BURNT—ONE | HUNDRED AND FIFTY LIVES LOST. O ii - citizens were alarmed i>n Mond , w jug. bv the appeai a e of a great light at some distance west, 0 i the Sound wliirli’was gi neruliy held ved to he a steam') at n iire. No iiitig conclusive, however, was heard in regard to it 'ill he arriv I .ff our boat from N-w York, on Fuesdav afternoon, which brought the melancholy intelligence Dial the light was occasioned by the conflagrati the steamboat Lexington, n Inch was entirely destroyed, and that all on board except three perished. One of the survi vors, Capt. Hilliard, ol Norwich, this State, whom we have seen and conversed with, came on In re in the boat. Tiie Lexington left New York at 3 o’clock, P. M. for Stonington. A'<out half past 7 o’clock, when off Eaton’s Ne< k, L. I., ihe wood-work, casings, See., about the flues, was dicovcred to he on fire. An alarm was immediately given, and ail efforts to subdue the flames proving unavailing, the pilot head ed the boat directly for Long Island shore. In about 15 minutes it was found the tiller ropes were burnt in two, and the boat consequently unmanageable. The engine, however, kept in operation, under a heavy head of steam. The three : mall boats were got out with all possible haste, but they swamped soon after they struck the water, in consequence of the speed at which the steamer was going towards the shore. A life-boat, which w;*s aboard, was also launched but by some means was in a few minutes unfortunate- I Jy lost. No relief, therefore, was obtained from ei ther nf die boats. When the Lexington had got within ab ut two ! miles n( the shore, her engine suddenly stopped.—All hopes of escape to those on board, except by clinging j-to -.lii'li articles of freig ht as would sustain them, were eu* off The freight of the Lexington consisted principally of i nitiui, on which some of the passengers tried to save themselves, but none succeeded except Captain Hill! i-il and a fellow-passenger, Loth of whom got j astride of a cotton bale on which they kept together Dill 6 o’clock in the morning, when the strength of - Captain Hilliard’* companion failed him, and befell off and jva> drowned. Capt. II. continued upon his bale of cotton til! 11 o’clock, A. M., Tuesday, when lie w is taken nffbv a sloop which went out (V m Southport, having bet n thus exposed about 15 boors. Two others, clinging to a fragment of the boat, were also rescued bv this sloop—one the engineer, the Ollier ;i fireman of the unfortunate boat. The bodies of two other--, one a colored woman, were lilnwise taken from a part of the wreck, on which they had perished vvidi cold. The number, on board, Capt. H.‘ thinks, vvas not ie s ih n 175, o| whom 150 were pas engers, out of which, lie helii ves liim-el.f io be the only one saved. Among ill number, were five or six women, and two | or three child-en. ! The scene on hoard was awful beyond description. 1 The fire being midwat of the boat cut off all commti- I nitration from one end to the other. The passengers j crowded together in the how and stern, moaning and | bewailing iheir fate, til! compelled to cast themselves into the watery deep, to escape the flames. The l oat drifted with the tide, and sank at 3 | o’clock, off our harbor. (Correspondence of the United States Gazette.] New York, Wednesday, P. M.
