Wallace, on Ltocrty Street, in Pittsburg. There were about one baudred men at work in the establishment when the steam boiler ex ploded with terrible effect. Tbe boiler, it ap pears, iu cotfccqucnce of the force of the ex plosion, passed .through tho entire leugth of the buiidiDg, reducing a patt ol it to a heap ot iuius, and then struck a clothing store on the opposite side of the street, (one of the wi dest in tho city,) killing tho proprietor, Mr. Robert Barker, who was standing at tho door. His bead was nearly taken off. The boiler then passed tbroogh the rear wall of the store into G. Schwartz's lager beer ball, which it nearly demolished, and a man named Wilheifer who was in the saloon, was killed. The boiler finally landed in the Presbyterian grave yard, back of tbe hull, having passed through four solid brick walls, besides tearing a corner out of a house. It was found lying iu tbe grave yard, apparently but little injured. It was located in the roar of the fir.t story of the building where it exploded, and furnished steam for running all tbe machinery of the es tablishment. It was 40 iocbes iu diameter, 22 feet in length, and made of quarter iuoh iron. It carried 60 pounds of steam to the square inch, and was attended to by a boy. It is bclicvod that the water had beeu allowed to get too low. and that it had been just turned on wbeD the explosion occurred. Tho follow ing workmen arc among the killed: William Burke, Win. Mc.Murray, T. MoCutcheon, W. Agnew, James McCutcbeou, Thos. M. DeAr uiit, James Lafferty, Win. McMillan, J. R. Hamilton and Lewis Hutchinson. Agnew had his head blown off, and presented a truly hor rible spectacle. The others were all more or less mutilated. Several others wore badly injured. Douglas is to carry the following Slates, the State of • tbe State of , the State of State of , the State of , which will give him 000,000,000 majority over all other can didates!

FRIEND OVER: —The billows of the politi cal ocean run high and dash over ns here from the North, South and West, showing what a storm i 9 roiling over the country. The Dem ocratic party is in chaos. Its motions are the spasmodic convulsions of an expiring inebriate. That great party, which for so many years ru led and almost ruined the nation, now lies on its back, gasping as the last breath is depart ing. But yesterday the word of the Democ racy might have stood against the world; now lies it there, and none so poor to do it rever ence. It was pitiable to witness the imbecili ty and utter demoralization of the party in the long and painful effort to fuse the two factions. To give a certain eclat to the business, and thus dazzle tho multitude, the high contract ing partict stationed themselves in the magnif icent hotels of the city. First came a missive from the Astor Houso to the Metropolitan suggesting fusion; then a reply from the Metro politan accepting and suggesting a plan: then a flare up from the Astor at the plan. Soon the protocols of the negotiators were dropped, and the fiery missiles flow. The pot called the keitlo very black. Confusioa reigned in Tam many, and Mozart and war to the knife were proclaimed in those high places. But then a letter came from the St. Niohoias, replete with conciliation. Tho "Pewter Mug" was suggest ed—that place so famous heretofore for drown ing the sorrows of Democracy, and rubbing up the backs of the uuterrified with bad whiskey. Thither the high contracting parties, Messrs. Greeo and Ben Wood, with their retainers, repaired in the fond expectation that by the generous diffusion of wbi.key, and tho result ant confusion of their brains, a fusion might be effected. Sure enough ! O, thou whiskey ! great pacificator of Democracy ! The negoti ators drank themselves to a fusiun. But, alas ! the course of true political gambling ] runs not smooth. Green and Wood were \ merbly chairmen of sub committee*; aud when they reported to their superiors, the groat Mo gul of the Douglas Democracy in the State, D 'an Richmond, knocked this bautling of the j "Pewter Mug" in the head and kicked it out of doors. Thus ended the first act. The nest was a grand fusion met ting at the Cooper Institute. It wis given out many days before, that all the great ami Rell everett guns of the nation would be on hand to swell the general thunder. It was placard ed all over the city that a fusion ticket would be then and there announced to the assembled thousands of Gotham; and of course curiosity was on tiptoe. But New York was again doomed to disappointment. No auch ticket was proclaimed. Instead, a committee o' fif teen was appointed to soleot a ticket. The fif teen met and adjourned; met again, and ad journed. However, at last they succeeded in patching up a fusion ticket. But the Breck inridge party very generally will discard it.— Tho fusion between Douglas and Bell previ ously agreed upon has precipitated thousands •f Dative and nuturalized voters from the De. mocratic and BO called Union party into the camp erf Lincoln. The day is passed in turn State when men can be sold at the political shambles for so much per head. New York will roll up an immense majority for Lincoln. The trading politicians, seeing this, have turn ed like & school of sharks from New York to Pennsylvania. They calculate that your State, which tbey call the "d—d Dutch State," can be more easily humbugged. The free-trading merchants in this city, who feel no interest iu tbe industry and welfare of Pennsylvania, who are constantly uncaring at the productions of this country, and say there is aothing made here fit to have iu the market, who would go on their bellies, and eat dirt all their lives to get Southern trade, and who give their money by thousands to strike down the Tariff of 1842, to crush Pennsylvania's prosperity and keep hor proatrate ever since—theae men arc now again lavishing their money to carry your State. Will glorious old Pennsylvania not send those rascals howling back to their native hell 1 Will she aceept and drain the poisoned chalice? Will she again prostitute herself, and dash out her braius at the bid of these great cpemies of her interest? Tbaddeas Ste vcus, the other night, said at the Uooper Insti tute, "in Pennsylvania every man is a protec tionist." Pennsylvanians ! There is a con spiracy formed in this free-trade city, by your enemies, to corrupt your ballot box, and make your Stitc stub lerself. Everyman to his gun ! D. S. RIDDLE. A dispatch from Washington says that a land patent has just been issued to Abe Lin coin, the Republican oandidate for President, as Captain of the Illinois Militia during tho Bjaok Hawk War CAUL SCHURZ OS DOFtiLIS. Carl Sehurz made a loog speech in N. York on the night of the 13th ult., in which he de voted himself to the political record and per sonal pretensions of S. A. Douglas. saying that be considered Mr. Doug 'las "one of the most over-estimated men in tho country,'' and that his political policy must spring either from the protoundest ignorance of the principles npon which the liberty of man is maintained, or an innate love of the prin ciples by which the liberty of men is subverted, he went on to ridicule Mr. Douglas' argument in favor ef slavery on account of its furnish ing a variety of interests, and thus being one | of the safe-guards of our liberties. In summing up the accounts in the indict ment against Mr. Douglas, the speaker made out ibg following bill : I arraign him for having changed bis posi tion in regard to the Missouri restriatioD, time and again, according to the interests of slavery. I arraign him for having broken ibe plighted faith ef the people by the repeal of the Com promise of 1820. I arraigu him for bavmg upheld the most at rocious violations of the ballot-box ; for bav. ing trampled upon the most sacred rights of the people of Kansas, so long as the struggle between Freedom and Slavery was doubtful. I arraign him for having committed a fraud upon the people by forging and adulterating the principal of Popular Sovereignty, and making it the machine of Slavery propagand- j ism. I arraign bim for having deserted tho cause ; of Free Kansas when the people, having com* ' plied with all reasonable conditions.app lied for admission into the Union. I araign htm for having repeatedly made the attempt to disturb the system of constitutional checks aud balances, by placing tho war making power in the hands of the President. I arraign him f>r having attempted by his conspiracies, a thing more outrageous than ibe S-Jptioß Law of 1798, to put tho liberties of Spceeb and Press at the mercy of a political inquisition, aud to make ihe judicial persecu tion of opinions a standard of policy. 1 arraign him, lastly, for having attempted to pass off upon the people the doctrines of political philosophy which arc an insult tu tho popular understanding. No, I leg your par- don, Ido not arrign him for that,for this i a free country, where everybody has a right to make himself as ridiculous as he. pleases, "sub j-et ouly to the Constitution of the U. States." [Loud laughter.] And yet, I arraign him for that also, for I protest that he has no right to unke the Republic ridiculous with him. In coDelusioo Mr. Scburz said : The titue of tho Baltimore Convention ar rived, sud tho struggle re-commenced. It becauio at once manifest that Douglas' nomi nation could not be forced upon the Demo cratic party without splitting that organization j in twaiu ; and he saw clearly enough that then ! his election would be an impossibility. The South was secodiog cn masse, and leaving the rump Convention o do as it pleased. Then Mr. Douglas, seeing a disgraceful defeat in evitable, wrote a letter to bis friends in the j convention, requesting them to withdraw his name if they found it in any way consistent to do so. And I declare, if Douglas was ever I honest in anything be did or said, I believe he was honest then and there. Bat now the moment had arrived when it became manifest that thero is justice in his tory. Douglas' position was disgusting, but his punishment was sublime. Then his friends for the first time refused to obey his command. These who he had used so often and so ioug for bis own advancement, saw now there was a last chance for using him for theirs. They tsaid to him, "We have performed our part of tho contract; now you have to perform yours. Wo have nominated you for the Presidency ; now you have to permit us to be elected Con gressmen, Sheriffs, County Clerks, or Con stables, on the strength of your name. There is no backing out. Ho ! for the spoils !" <Post thou think because thou hast suddenly be come virtuous, There shall be no more cakes and ale ? Yes, by Saint Ann ! an' ginger hot in the mouth, too !" And so the saddle of the rump nomination is put upon his back, and the whole ghastly pack of office-hunters jump upon it. The spurs are put to the flank —the whip applied to the baok of the panting, bleeding jade, and so the spectral ride goes, east, west, uight and day—and may the steed go to per dition, if only tbo riders reaoh their goal.— | [Loud applause, cheers an# laughter.] Oh there is justice in his history. He has at least the idol of his dreams —the object of his fondest wishes —for which he has laid so many a treacherous scheme —for which be has turned so many a summersault —for whioh he has stiuclf so many a blow at tho peace of the Republic, for which be so often prostituted himself and bis followers, for which he has hugged so many a loafer, and insulted so many an honest, man, for which be made every rum abop bis headquarters and every ruffian bis friend—he has at last the nomination for the Presidency, but what he has craved as a blessing has come down upon him as a curse; to be nominated and know that an election is impossible! to be voted for, and know that every vote for him i 9 for Breokinridge or Lane, whom he hates, and every vote against him a vote for Lincoln, whom he does not love ! To be voted for, and be aware that those wbo vote tor bim wotk not for him but for them selves ! To be dead and yet living enough to be conscious of death! Ob, there is justice in history ! Am I exaggerating ? Where u that mighty leader, whose voice once o&lled millions into the field ? At the strsct corners and cross-roads you see him standing like a blind, downfallen Belisarius— not in virtue, not in poverty —a bevy of political harlots surrounding htm, and begging for the misera bis obolus of a vote : begging the Know-Noth iDgs. whom he once affected to despise ; beg ging the Whigs whom he once insulted with his brawling denunciations : invoking the spirit of Henry Clay, whom he once called a black hearted traitor. Oh, but poor Belissarius! The party harlots that surround biin with their clamorous begging cry, steal every vote they receive for him,and put it into their own pock ets. Where is the bold, powerful agitator, whose voice sounded so defiantly on every contested field? Behold biin on his sentimental joarney, vainly trying to find his mother's home and his father's grave, apologizing with squ:amish affectation for his uncalled for and indecent ap pearance in public, like one of the condemned spirits you read of in the myths of by-gouc ages, restlessly perambulating the world, con demned to a mere terrible puaishmeut thau Tantalus, who was tortured by an unearthly thirst, with grapes and wat-r within his reach more terrible than that of Dmnitcs, who had to pour water into the leaky cask—for he is condemned to deliver that old speech ot his over and over again. [Applause.] As often as he arrives at a hotel that has n balcony, as often as his hasty journey is arrested by a spon taneous gathering, when yon bear a subterra nean spectral voice cry out "my great principle of non-intervention"—that is tho dead squat ter sovereign atoning for tho evil deeds he com mitted in his lo'iily existence. [l'rolonged laughter and cheers.] Not long ago he haunt ed the railroad crossiog and ciaai hanks of New England; then the cross-roads of the South and the ghastly apparition was last seen in this neighborhood. [Prolonged laughter and cheers.] Where is lhat formidable party tyrant whose wishes once were commands; wbo broke dowa sacred compromises with a mere srroke of his finger, whose very nod made the heads of those who displeased him fly into the basket; whose very whims were tests of Democracy? Where is he who ouco like Macbeth, thought himself invulnerable by any man "who was of woman born;" invincible, great. "till Birnaui wood Do bie to Duosinane hill, Should come agaias', him." Like Macbeth he has belived the fiends "That paltered with him in a double sense." There he 6tanda, tied to the stake of bis nomi nation. "He cannot fly, And bear like, he must fight his course." But as Birnatn Wood marched to Duoeinano, so the very fence rails of Illinois are rushiDg down upon him (tremendous laughter and cheers,) and, like Macduff, there rises against the spirit of free labor, one whose children he has murdered, and that is a champion "not of woman born. [Laughter.] And now "On Macduff, And damned be be who first cries hold—enough." (Renewed laughter and cheers.) Ob, there is justice in history. (Cheers.) The same betrayal of the Free Labor cause —the Nebraska bill, wbioh waa to be bis step ping stone to power, proved to be the abyss whioh engulpbed his honor, his manhood his strength and his hopes. There are those who mean to reverse tho judgement of history. Vain un dertaking! That man is marked by the hand of eternal retribution. On his very front stands the fatal tonob. Do not attempt to arrest tb © hand of Supremo justice. You cannot sav fl him from his ruin. Why arc you so eager to share his disgrace? Leaders of the Douglas Democracy, what means your empty bravado of strength? You cannot deceive others; why are you working so hard to deceive yourselves?— You know that your orators are but endeavor, ing to galvanize a dead body into artificial life. You are well aware that your mass meting demonstrations are nothing but huge galv&aic batteries at play. What means your desperate attempt to glue your broken fortunes together with those of other parties? Do you think this VOL. 33, NO. 41. is the way to cheat destiny oot of its dues?— Is it your ambition to have yonr descendants read in the history of our days there were men living ip 1860 that with instincts so depraved that when they could not accomplish that which was evil, they endoavored, at least, to prevent that which was good? And you who are warned by this sacred voice of conscience that you are doing wrong in ad bering to Douglas, and yet obey the command of par ty, here me: Is this party drill a disci pline so omnipotent an idol that you would sac rifice upon its altar your independence, your manhood, and all that constitutes your moral worth? And you who claim the exclusive privilege of swearing by the Constitution and the laws> will you stamp- the evidences of|hypoerisy upon your brow by indirectly indorsing bim who has done more thao any other living man to under mine the Constitution and pervert the laws?— Will you permit your political hucksterers to barter away not only your votes, but your con sciences and your honor? But let the conspirators come on; we defy tbem. Go on with your coalitions, which are made with the distinct understanding that those who unite to-day are to cheat each other to morrow. Has it become a rnliug principle in yonr parties that the "rank and file have no rights which the lcadersjare bound to respect?" You will find out your mistake. Look around you. Do you see thousands leaving your ban ners, unwilling to submit to your treacherous scheme to rob the people of their elections?— Do you know what that.means? It means that the man rises above the partisan. It means the revival of conscience in our politics. It is the true sovereignty of the people vindicating itself. (Cheers.) Now build up your mole-bills, and call them impregnable fortresses. It seeais you do not know how small tbey are. The logio of things will not roll its massive will over thc-m. Your puny contrivances will leave no trace behind to tell your doleful story. Sir, only those whose hearts aro unmoved by great moral impulses, can fail to sec that wo are in tbe midst ef a great moral revolution.— They canuot prevent final victory; 1 firmly be lieve they cannot retard it. No, they are aid ing it in spite of themselves; for their general rottenness demonstrates its necessity. Doug las himself is powerfully promoting its progress. Ho has taught the people of Amerioa a great sublime lessoo. 1 think it was Senator Pugb who onee said that if Dougla9 were struck down by the South, he would take his bleeding corpse and show it to the youth of the Northwest as an example of Southern gratitude. Let that modern Mark Antony come in with his dead C®?ar, (pardon mo, it is neither Caesar dead nor Mark Antony living,) let him bring in his bleeding corpse, and I would suggest the fuDoral oration. Let him say to the youth of the American Repub lie: "This is Douglas. Look at him. For every wound the South inflicted upon bim, be ha? struck a blow the liberties of his coun trymen. Let him serve as a warning example that a mau may be a traitor to liberty, snd yet not beoome a favorite of the slave, power.— Mark him. By false Popular Sovereignty he tried to elevate himself, a trne Popular Sover eignty strikes him down." [Load Applause.] If the youth of Amcrioa profit by this lesson, then it may be said that even Douglas bas done some servioe to his couDtry. [Laughter.]— Then peace be with him —bis mission is ful filled. THE UNBUUIED DEAD OF SYRIA. Our Syrian correspondent writes that moro than ten thousand human bodies still lie upon the side of Mt. Hernaon, in full view from the Sea of Galilee and the Mediterranean, upon the Plains of Sidon, the ancient Phoenicia, blackening in the sun, and their blood still cries out to heaven for vengeance. It is an Oriental custom to leave the murdered dead uuburiod until justice has been satisfied, and and although in Syria the effect of the climate upon a dead body requires its burial within tweuty.four hours of the departure of tho spirit from its earthly tenement, these bodies have remained unburied and in a complete state of preservation! In the oourt-yards of the palaces, in the barracks, and wherever the Christian has fallen, there lies the body now, still awaiting the vengeance of Heaven upon the oppressors and the slayers of the Christiana of Mount Lebanon.— Boston Trav. Sever*! families from Sehrooa and Potters ville, Renselaer county, N. ¥., last spring re moved to Prince William county, Virginia, designing to make their permanent homes in the Old Dominion. Not finding the climate, soil, nor the convenience to mills, ohnrcbes, schools, post offices, or the customs and enter prise of the people, all they had anticipated, a part of them turned their faces Northward and are back again amid the association of theifr old homes. Thoy saw just enough of the "peculiar institution" to return sonnd Kcpublt oans, every man of them.
