Governor Porter*
Wc almost envy Governor Porter what must bo his
. feelings since the election. No Executive in Penn
sylvania over reached the chair of State Ihrough such
n flood of' calumny and detraction—and no one oyer
had the same difficulties to encounter Alter bis eleva-
Udh:to that distinguished~post BescfwtiK shoals and
■ quicksands on hand—the vessel* of State leak£
and from the gross mismanagement of
her former pilot—he has steered the ship with consum
mate skill and prudence, and brought her safe to port.
With a powerful and uncompromising opposition,
'made up of the leadnrs of ff whose creed is to
has bid- defiance- -itt.e4V
> Ihbir
infamousprojects, v and has" justly coVne'cT fqr; hiTnSclf
the of on honest, uptight and .
statesman and patriot. But this is not all. Ho
hot only, the ’pleasing reflection that he has faithfully
, dnd foarlcsaly performed fils duty; but he has likewise
.the proud gnrtificnliqh to.know that his'patriotic course
is approval by a vast majority of his follow-citizens.—
Like the incorruptible and heroic Jackson, Governor
, Porter, nobly performed hia duty, and, in bo doing, aa-
Bimied-a responsibility which but few Statesmen would J
have attempted;' and like that truly groat man, his ap- j
peal to his countrymen has been a verdict of popblar j
approbation. .
Wo venture the assertion that there never has been
an Executive hr Pennsylvania) Governor ffoydcf not
excepted, that bad so large a shore of public esteem na
David It. Porter—and never was confidence more rich
ly merited. Judging from his past course, we predict
that he will retire from the Gubernatorial choir at the
end of his second term with a greater degrco of popu
larity than any of his predecessors, and that his admin
stration will be looked up to in all time to cohid as a
model for future Executives to follow. Well may the
•Democracy of the Keystone State be proud of such a
Chief Magistrate.
• triumphant ejection of Mr. Culver to the
Legislature by a majority of 634- votes over Major

account the oxtraof Jiilary efforts made jise of to defeat

have received; yet enough ia knoym to justify us,ln
statingthalGovcmor.PonTXß.ii.rc-elccted by over
20,000. majority, and lhat'there will be a Democratic
majority in the House of Representatives of 24, and
that the Senate ia probably revolutionized!, Never
was there a more overwhelming triumph—never did a
State more gloriously redeem herself than has Penn

(Xj*Soqjc of the Federal pipr-laycra attribute their
Overwhelming defeat in Pennsylvania td the vetoes of
Presidcnt'Tyler. It is a bad rule, however, that wont
work both ways, and If they really think that the two
vetoes of Captain. Tyler. defeated John Banks, how
does it happen that the TEN vetoes of Governor Por
ter did not defeat h''m ? Certainly, if the exercise of
ibe Veto power Is as unpopular as the pipe-Isyer» D aay.
it is. Governor Porter’s free exercise of it must surely
liaveMcfeated his election ! Our opponents wilbhave
to hunt up some other excuse for the Unprecedented
drubbing they received. The veto.of President Tyler
is “no go.”

Murioxn.—The correspondent"of the Illinois Free
Trader gives an account of the trial of the person*
.ebargej' with the murder of the Driskalls—John and
WilUam. One and twolvo men indicted for
iho.murdcr. The Driskalls, it will be recollected, wens
the persons who robbed and attempted to kill Mr.
Campbell, leaving him in a dreadful state of mutilation.
A mob seized .upon and shot them in retaliation for
their brutality. - One hundred and twelve of <the mob
were indicted .and The case was submiUccTTo
the jury, who .rendered a verdict of not guilty* - This
verdict was given partially from, a want of evidence,
and from what the jury, considered the absolute, neces
sity pf the case. Tbo writer says the law could not
protect the community where the banditti to which the
Driskalls belonged committed their many enormities*
This verdict may bo considered a justification and en
couragement'of, the abominable. Lynch code. The
plea urged in its defence, that no other kind of law
will answer,' is as false as it is dangerous. If the citi
zens were strong enough to proceed against the offen
ders illegally, they were sufficiently strong loprotect
each other against the banditti while proceeding against
them legally. "When impunity is given, by 'splomn,
verdicts, to outrages against the laws, nothing better is
to bo expected than that they wUlbe disregarded, and
tho rule of the sovereign mob usurp that of law*.—

close conversation. They demanded of the porter what
he wanted, to yvhich he made some indifferent reply,
closed the door and remained outside ashort time.—
The door was locked immediately on the inside, the
window was heard, rising, aniV a noise being heard at
the front door, the porter wont down to the bar-room,
opened and found a watchman with a hand
ful of bank notes and papers, which he had pi:kcd up
under the window of Jackson *Sc Ash. The endorse

I The rogues,' however, had entered by means of an in*
stniment which turned the key op the inside, and
which was left by.thcm in the fire-place. The amount
taken was found to be about $2,000, nearly all of
which was recovered. The villains were arrested by.

Fatal Explosion , —We loarn from the New York
papers that an explosion, attended with fatal conse
i quences, occurcd on board * the steam frigate Fulton,
olf Sandy Hook, on Tuesday week. While some
experiments with a new kind of shell, a 64 pounder
burst, killing two persons, and severely wounding six
others. The. names of the killcd are Samuel Snow
man, seaman, and Philbrook, ordinary seaman.
The wounded are Russell Smith,, carpenter's mate,
Joshua Wyman, qbdrtcr gunner, Levi Lawson, Thos.
Smith, Richard Bell,,and John Cooper, seamen, all
badly. 1
The explosion did great-damage to the forcLpart-of
die vessel, giving it the appearance of a perfect wreck.
The starboard steam-chimney was blown dowm
The express says that the. gun broke outside of the
carriage and split in the breach—the two parts of the
breach taking different -directions, one landed on. the
starboard side— (the gun was on the larboard) —the
other- went forty feet oft carrying awoy the Dispensary,
Purser’sVtdre room, and iron stanchions, and then
staving in both starboard steam chimneys, which add
ed to the horror of the scene by filling the ship with
steam. The span deck is all knocked up. Lieut.
Strong was thrown fifteen feet in. the air, falling on
the hammock netting, without mateii tl injury.
The utmost caro was taken by Captain Newton,
Lieut. Chaton, (tbb first Lieut) and all the officers of
the ship, to prevent an accident'which the officers
greatly feared. u >
The'officers kept the mett back, placing ..themselves.
between the gun and thehien. and then fired the gun
with a. slow match.— Bali. Amcr* . - - -

. FATAL DISASTER.—On Tuesday the
4th Inst, a dreadful'accident occurred on the
line of railroad between Boston and Hud
son. '.The Cain from 'the cast came in con
tact with (lie train from the west n't a place
about five miles from Westfield, both run
ning' at the time at the rale of twenty-five
miles an hour. The concussion was dread
ful, the passenger cars of both trains, imme
diately behind the tehders, .being shivered
to pieces, and wounding twenty to twenty
five passengers,, two or three ot them jnqr
tally. Some were so entangled in the frag
ment, of the cars, that they could only be
extricated by using levers, and thereby rai
t.slng the fragment a which confincd'llieni.—
Some werp literally dug out.
■ The-immediate cause of the disaster was,
that a curve of the road-concealed one of the
(ruina. and both were at great speed in or-'
der to make up fur lost lime.
Surely there must be something wrong in
the arrangements of the road, that would
bring two trains thus in contact. There
will, of course, be instituted an inquiry
touching the cause of so much human Buffer
ing.—£U. S. Gav.clte.
THE LAST SURVIVOR OF THE BUNKER
HILL BATTLE.
. .In noticing the death Ephraim. Squier,
the last of the Bunker Hill soldiers, who re
cently died at Ashford. Conn., aged 94, a
correspondent of the Albany Evcmng'Jour
nal says:
“Years of toll, and blood waslhe price of
our freedom, and of the gallant men -who
achieved it, but few, but vejy.few, are left
among us. They liave gone, and bequeath
ed to us the bloud-bouglit treasure, and oh,
let, us guard it well! A few yet linger a
motig us, their heads are whitened with the
frosts of many, winters", and their furrowed
-chccks and'3rouping forms speak to us with
a silent eloquence. But a few short years,
hud all will havepassed away—and even
now, the last of that immortal band who
stood on,Bunker’s, bloody height has gone!.
There was-stricken the first blow to sever
the bunds of Tyrannj’! but of the thousand
hearts'that burned with all-the ardor'{.lie
