Affray on a SI extern Steamboat.
A Man and Woman Killed. and three persons badly
An affray occurred on the steamboat Dresden.
near Helena, Arkansas, in which two men were
killed and three others wounded. About one bun

on the levees in Arkansas, were deck passengers
on the Dresden. An old lady from Kentucky. wi h
her two children, who were also deck passengers,

men Her children were abused, and die provis

On one occasion, when one of her children was
struck by an Irishman, a Mr. James Sullivan, of
blaysville, in this State, a cigar maker, took the part
of the lady, and remonstrated with the men on their
conduct. The Irish forthwithwilb commenced an
attack on Sullivan, one of them striking him vio

his revolver, and defended himself as he beat could

badly shattered and broken.
An Irish woman, who belonged to the party,and

the rights of the South tnto its special keeping; and
its leaders foolishly entertain • the, hope that they
can induce the South to come to their assistance.
But in regard to the latter point, the Star thinks
that .they are counting chickens before they are
hatched. It says:
" All the southern elections taking place since
the a h of March last, however, convey assurance
to men of sense, that they have no ground for any
such expectation. Planck'', and nothing else, is
what these leaders are after. 'The records of Con
gress, from the foundation of the government to the
termination of the last seesaw, show that the Unit
ed States have had no other so jealous guardians of
the treasury as senators and representatives from
the southern sections of'the Union. ' Under these
circumstances, we may safely venture to predict
that,, whenever any persona identified with the
proposed new poliical organization venture byplay
champions of the South in the House-hall or Senate
chamber, they will I , catch a very high fall" in
deed. The very fact that it is to be emphatically
the organization of the lobby, will,. from the start,
bring down upon it almost every southern member
of Congrers, without distinction of party." •
Kr Enough of the returns of the election in
Massachusettl has been received to render it cer
tain that the New Constitution has been rejected
by a large vote. There is likely no election of Go
vernor by the people., The Legislature, as far as
beard from, stands strongly Whig, they having a
majority of fifty-eight in the House and two in the
Senate, with twenty vacancies to be heard froni.—
In Beaton the Whigs polled 7000 votes, the Demo
crate 3000, the National Democrats nearly 1000,
and the Free Sailers about 1300.
In regard to the election in Mississippi, we clip
the fulloaing dispatch from the Washington Un
ion :
" The Democratic ticket is elected by from five

is elected to Congress for the State at large by a
heavy majority. In the First District, Wright, re

The folloWitiiiiiiae taken from the Pennsylvanian
expresses the fealirkia of many, of the Democrats of
Bradfdrif, 'whale Fireforeijcie are for Cokilestre, as
a cablidate - for Canal Com Missioner. It is time
the North slioilld be fairly dealt by, and no man is
more likely to ensure that result, than him. He is
welt and fivondily known to the Democracy oh the
State, aid Will command' More support than any
other Man'in the North. S.
To; Coo I...Cosuitssionca. A 11 parts of the State
have presented names. as candidates for rmmina
final:tellers the Democratic Convention for Canal
Commiasioner, and we are free to admit, that with
either.of the distinguished gen'lemen named, the
Democracy or Pennsylvania would reap a glorious
victory. But, while we admit the claims of men,
we mosi.not forget the, geographical demands of a
certain section; and in looking over the State, we
in the North think that the next Canal Commission
er should come tram this loottity. The North has
never orally had - a representative in that important
branch of the State Government, and yet the North
has been devoted to the true interests of the Com.
monwealth; and the Democracy have failed ont3
once in sustaining the men and the measures of the
party.-
In view allies°. facts, the people in the North
and North-was:inn part of Pennsylvania have -broit
forward Col. JOHN F. Mzees, al Bradford, as a can
didate for Canal Commissioner. He has ever been
a firm, consistent and active Democrat—while his
intimate relation with the public improvements in
this section, renders hen doubly fit for the position
to which the Democrady of Northern Pennsylvania
desire to elevate him. He was foremost among
those who urged successfully the completion of the
North Branch Canal, thereby securing a portion of
the large trade of the lakes to Philadelphia, and
had his suggestions been listened to, New-York
would not now be monopolizing the profits of a
commerce which legitimately belong to Philadel
phia.
If Col. Me►Ns is nominated, the North is good for
his election—and if arty other Democrat before the
party is successful, the North is equally good lot a
hearty support. But wa leel that it is due to us
that we should at last have a candidate, and that
candidate Col Mesas—whereby we would feel that
we are remembered by our friends in the East, the
West and the South, and would show how highly
she appreciates such evidences of appreciation.
THE SPEAKLIMIP.—CoI Richardson, of Illinois,
who is a candidate in good earnest for this elevated
position, has reached Washington, attracted hither
at this early period, doubtless by his desire to let
arriving new members know something of him per.
sonally,'before they may be called on to vole upon
the (to him) all important question. This is a wise
move on his part: inasmuch as it takes very little
iersonal association with him to impress most men
very decidedly in his favor, as a gentleman of gen
uine character and high bearing. Sometime since
we took occasion to discuss his distinctive traits as
a public man, and on this occasion have only to re
peat that in case the "Harmonious" get into any.
thing of a snarl in caucus, we know of no other up.
on whom in the end they would be more likely to
harmonize.
THE COMING HOPOSITION FOR THE ANNEXATION
OF THE, SANDWICH 19LANDS.—We shall not be MU
prised to fi d the message announcing that, long
since, our Commissioner at the Sandwich Islands
was directed to keep his attention closely fixed to
their political condition, and respectfully to receive
and forward home for he consideration of this Go
vernment, any advances or propositions which that
government might make by way of giving the
United States rights there likely to prove almost in
valuable to American commerce.
A PRACTICE or THE ACCOUNTING OFFICERS OF THE
