Burr Arm, Nov. 13.—The gale on Lake Elie,
which commenced on Thureday night, abated last
night alter having raged with unprecedentekl vio
lence fur 2-1 hours.
Along the shore, great damage has, no donbt
been done.
The propeller steamboat Sampson, which went
ashore above the Light House, this place, is a tote)
loss. She belonged to Wm. Buckley, of this city,
and was partially insured in the Mutual Insurance
Company. There was, however, no insurance
upon her cargo, which consisted entirely of flour.
The steamer Empire, Keystone State, Ocean,
Empire State and Buck eye State, are reported safe
at Dunkirk.
The brig Flora came into port yesterday, driven
before the gale, and struck vioteptly on a pier, re
ceiving some damage .
The steamer-propeller Globe, in making •an
ort to reach Dunkirk harbor, struck on a rock and
eras totally vrreeltid.
The steamboat St. Louis was wrecked at the
head of the Lake. Her cargo consisted of livestock
and 2000 barrels of flour.
A large number of bodies - have been washed
ashore, but they are snpposed mostly to be the tell
ies of some of the unfortunate passengers of the di
lated steamer Atlantic, which was last in the Lake
last summer.
After the storm abated, a severe frost set in, which
has no doubt, contributed much , to the bulletins of
the crews r f the various disabled vessels.

death seemed to be the fate of the measure. Ott
the contrary, a majority of ten was had for it next
day—several of the negative votes being out of the

Washington, and which I would not repeat. in a
speech in Missouri if f now had a seat in Congress
to investigate them there.
It was the vitro of such proceedings as these
which induced the Representative from North Caro,.

whAt demand your airention 1 only touch
a few of the .most prominent and impressive. I'
came here to give my thanks to you for the honor
of my election ; and in :Ming so, was naturally led
to speak of the abuses which have grown up in
Congress arid whose alarming growth has made
even political foes regard my election as a national
benefaction—known as I am to be an enemy to
every species of abuse, and not without courage to
attack them. The subject led me to speak of the
public gratification at this event, anti the cause of
that gratification. I have only spoken of legislative
abuses at Washington,
and the usurpation of na
tional legislation by a band of intrusive and high
trading agents ; there is another broach of abuse
which requires attention—that of esurpatiorts of elec
tions by concusses and conventions, which has also
grown up as a Now POW ER, and now control nearly
all elections from President of the United Sates
down to the most inconsiderable county officer, and
generally without regard to the popular will, and
with an eye to their advantage. I, cannot explore
this abase, which strikes at the foundation of all
elective governments, nor trace it through in the
States and the counties. I can only speak of the
Presidential conventions, and of what I heard at
Washington, that sixty thousand dollars v:ere ex
pended duria?, the last one at Baltimore, in three
houses in the entertainment of delegates! of course
to get their understandings through the medium of
their stomachs.
Fasting and praying would have been a better
preparation for the discharge of their duties. For
tunately neither of these three houses carried their
man. The lot tell ppon one for whom no money
had been expended to procure a nomination. But
that was an accident, and we have no right to ex
pect such good tontine again. President-making
has now become a regular art, or trade, followed
by old politicians, at the expense, and without the
consent or even knowledge of the people. Who
knows, except the initiated, that the last Democrat

in this State, v If things go on it this rate, the people
of the United Stags will have no more hand in the
selection of their President than the subjects of the
European monarchies have in begetting the child
who is lb become their king.
The f temedy for the usurpation of the elective
franchise is, for the people to take the election into
their hands—repudiate caucuses and conventions—
and loner the Constitution of the United States as
it/now stands, until amended by giving a direct
vote to the people, and a second election between
Memo highest when no one received a majority
of the whole in the first one. Better obey the con.
stitution, and let the legitimate authority decide
responsibly between the three highest presented by
the people, than to submit the whole selection to
:responsible assemblages, sell-appointing, and riot

for the grea; office which belongs to the people.
Suppression of agents who trade in legislation at
Washington, and repudiation of caucuses and eon•
ventions which dispose of ticnal and State affairs.
are obligatory debts, above party, and due to the
purity of elections and legislation, and demanded
by the genius of all our constitutions.

that he was entitled to their custody. Mr, Louts

. A case precisely similar to this has never before,
We believe, come up for adjudication in our courts.
Several precedents having some, bearing-upon it
were cited, but none were explicit and unequivocal.
•In the Indiana case, the staves in transits( 'went ills.
charged on the ground-that they were going t..• a
free state ; in thelllinois case, the decisicn turned
upon a special clause of the cr iminal code ; and in
a Massachusetts case, the slave wasdiecharged be

Ingincidemally into tree territory
Judge Peine is therefore forced to consider the
subject under the light oldie law of nations, and of
the general principles of the common law. But
these, he says, do not admit of a right of property
in man, and therefore, a stranger, though he may
uncuestionably pass through the territory of a neigh
bor with inanimate things e• property, cannot, car
-7 persons with-him as such. Slavery is a condi
tion established by the law of the stale, or-by mu
nicipal law, and does not exist under the law ol na
ture or of nations. The same laws, consequently,
which guaranty a stranger'e right of transit. also de
elates and guaranties the slave's right to freedom.
The Judge, after arguing die several provisions
of the Federal Constitution, cited as applicable, and
showing that they were not, then:passed to the laws
of this state which declare that no property in m:r.
can exist within its limits, except in the sitiole in.
stance of fugitives from labor, wider the Federal
Constitution. Our Revised Statutes are clear, posi
tive and explicit on the subject, forbidding slaves .
to be brought" into the. state"" on any pretence what-
ever," or if they are brought, that they ~ shall be
free."—Evening Post. ,
MeaiCo:
Mexico has long been in a deplorable condition,
and her existence as a nation, under the circum
stances which surround her, is an anomaly in the
history of nations. A Government without resour
ces, and distracted with continual internal disorder,
musenecessarily soon cease to exist, unless spine
daring spirit seizes upon authority, and out of rig;
mous arid despotic use of it reestablishes soci a l or
der and domestic peace. The last speech of Piesi ,
dent Arista, at the opening of the Congress, is but
a repetition of the eeds which beset the Nation,
and for vrhietr there seems to be ne arleqoate and
pearreful remedy. The rebellion in Guadalaigra
had placed the Federal institutions , in imminent
peril and forced the'President to call upon the near.
est States for succors of men and money. The
State did riot refuse their mil, but were unable loaf
ford it. and notwithstandmg the Government direct
erl'all its power agents( it, the insurgents gained
hope Irons other movements and were endeavoring
to makit.g it a common Titre of insurrection. The
President says:
"The germ and elements of that rebellion, al
thongh weakener:, ate yet sufficient to produce a
general conflagration ; &hoof(' they be not at once
eradicate&
" nitil now the General Government has been
able to combat. them, although not with the efficacy
that it might have wialli,J, because it had not suf
ficient means; but among those which it has d.is.
posed of, there are many that cannat be called
common or ordinary means; yet all have been ex
hausted in the defence and maintenance of social
order. Rut the Government has now arrived at the
impossibility of still maintaining it, or of retundg
the money (fondos) that it has taken, of opposing
a (strong) front to the numerous compromises
which weigh upon the treasury, and of paying the
debut, which, to leave unpaid, will immensely aug
ment its anxiety. These are difficulties which the
limited power of the Government cannot alleviate ;
and in order to vanquish them, it has recourse to
the ample power the intim) has deposited in the
bands of its representatives. For this object you
have been called Inge•her
"The resolution which the Chambers may dic
tate respecting the point proposed, will decide an
other as important and vital as that which has been
recommended, and which may invoke in its sop.
port the omit sacred titles to a preference. I speak
of the unfortunate situation in the iriterrior States,
desolated by the incursions of the Indians, and to
which the Government cannot attend as it desires
and ought, for want of means. This grave business
demands constant and pre-provided aid, in order
that the system of detence be efficacious. The de
partment of War will hold conference with your
commissions, in order to agree upon the means
that'may be necessary (for this purpose.")
The President concluded his address with the
declaration that a terrible crisis involves the Repub
lic;and it is absolutely necessary to be met with
