there is not a doubt but that the patronage which has

As we haverrequently remsrhed before during this

election. -

be to vote with a impetus minority. He could have no
influence that would serve his constitoeuu, and we
'would Imee a representative only in name. We do not
IMIYAIS Ur say that Mr D. would not be desirous to serve
ltis district, but his party associations would deprive
him of all influence, and his declaration of using his po

`• has other objects in view than represeating,in the true
moaning of the word, the people of Allegheny county.
This Time( the matter was no doubt running thro'
Mr Darragh's mind when he urged his friends to elect
hiallfitr the purpose of making Clay capital for the fall
islactkoa. He felt assured that as a representative of
the fanners, mechanics, and manufacturers of the dis
trict,•be would be useless at, Washington city, and he
thought the beat purpose to which be could be turned
would be an active agent of the Clay Club. In this ca
pacity we have not a word of objection to make to Mr
Dsrr.gh be would be a faithful, active and efficient
agent, but as a representative of the interests of the
district—hovrever good may be his intentions—be would
be almost useless.
Let tbe people then elect a man who has the ability
and influence to serve them efficiently, and one who
dooms hie duty to the people of more importance than

Such a man is Edward D. Gammon, and be i*
the aus, we most sincerely believe, that the people will
elect triumphantly to-morrow.
EirThe American calls our notice of Mr Darragh's
irate *favor of the U. S. Beak, a "raw head and
bloody bones story." Will it dare to ay that Mr Dar
ragh &dna rote fur that infamous bill? We think
sot.
We would like to see some of Mr D.'s friends ex
plain wby he aided in foisting on the people that mon
,ter of fraud and corruption. Was it to give the fo
reign stock
. gamblers an opportunity to plunder the
• people of Pennsylvania, or was it because he knew
that his constituents, and particularly the party that
elected bite, were opposed to such an institution?

THE RED RIVER DLSASIER
New Orleans papers -give , some additional partial
lan or this distretaingaasunhy. The Picayuneef the
3d has the followiag umeanset:
The melancholy intelligence reached our city yes
terday morning to the effect that two of our river s,
the De Sow and Buckeye, had earn in collision, that
daelatter had sunk immediately, and .that *times
sixty and eighty lives had been lost in consequence.
From verbal acct:mots, and from some half dozen com
munications which have been sent us, we gather the
fallowing partitialers of the dreadful catastrophe:
Between 3 and 4 o'clock on Friday morning, Marzh
1, the steamers De Soto - and Buckeye, the former
bound down from Natchitoches and the latter on her
way to Ouachita with some 300 passengers on board,
white and black, and a cargo of plantation supplies,
came together a mile or a mile and a half this side of
the lower mouth of Old River, as it is called, just be
low Atchafalaya. and with such violence that the Buck
eye sunk in less than five .minutes to her hurricane
deck. She was struck near the starboard hatch and
went down in twenty feet of water.
Those on board say that the scene which ensued
immediately was heart-rending beyond description.
The peseengers were all asleep at the time and instant
ly rushed to the guards and cubins,in consternation—
mothers screaming fur their children, husbands and
fathers rushing from point to point and fiantically en
deavoring to save their wives and families from des
truction. All, or nearly all, were in their night
clothes, and in the confusion the boldest and most
self-possessed could do little else than save themselve',
notwithstanding ever) endeavor was made to rescue
the children. Of the deck passengers, many of whom
were blacks, but few were saved, so suddenly did the
Buckeye go down.
It is impossible, at present, to give the number who
have thus Been hurried into eternity, with certainty,
but all accounts agree that it must have been between
sixty and eighty! Mr. Hyams, of Alexandria, whose
family was with him, lost his daughter, a beautiful
little girl of about ten Years of age, with his wife's
'sister, Miss Elizabeth Smith, who is described as an
accomplished young lady. This gentleman also lost
some fifteen negroes, who being on the lower deck,
could not be saved. Mr. Alex. McKenzie, late of
Florida, lost his wife, seven children, and four negroes;
Mr. John Blunt, also from Florida, lost his wife, child,
and seven negroes; and two of the children of Col.
King were also lost. A young man named Pollard,
supposed to belong to Natchez. had an amount of
.money in the clerk's office. It was handed to him,
but since then he has not been seen. A child of Mr
White was lout; and two sisters of a young man, whose
name we could net learn, are also among the drowned
The latter had been taken on board but a few hours
berme at the Red River landing. Mr. Beard, one
of the unfortunate passengers of the Buckeye, anemia.
led to swim ashore with his young nephew upon his
back, but hi the endeavor both were drowned. The
above names embrace all that we could gather with
certainty—a few days will doubtless add others to
the melancholy list.
The De Sow remained by the wreck till the last,
her officers exerting themselves to the utmost in sav
ing the lives and property of the passengers upon
the sinking boat. Near forty lives were saved by the
mate of the De Sotn, with the yawl, who picked them
up in the water. The night was clear, and the moon
shedding a brilliant light; else the lives of many more
would have been lost.
The De Soto arrived at our Levee yesterday morn
ing with many of the sufferers on board. The lumen
tations of those who had lost their families were still
heard—mother, were still grieving for their children
thus =time!) cut off. The bodies of Mr. Hyam's
little girl and sister in-law were recovered, as was also
that alone of the children of Col. King. In addition
the bodies of throe other children have been found.
Such are the particulars, so fur as we have been
able to learn them, of this unfortunate casualty—..a
casualty which hat sent so many human beings thus
-suddenly before their Maker. Although we have
heard persons attach blame to some of the officers
of the Buckeye, in not keeping their proper position
in the river, others again entirely exonerate them ;
and we are inclined to believe that the collision was
one of those sudden accidents against which prudence
in vain endeavors to combat. fhe host together with
the cargo, is a tptal los., although many of the hands
were left By the wreck to save such trunks and other
property that might float.
Cards are published from the passengers exoner
ating the officers and crew of both boats from all cen
sure, and thanking them for their exertions in saving
the lives of those on board.
[ From the West Chester Republican.]
The bargain or combination of 1825, in pursuance
of which Henry Clay. in violntiun of the popular voice.
made John Q. Adams,President, in order to put him
self in " th e line of sae precedents," (such he consid
ered the office of Secretary of State,) and thus defraud
ed the patriot Jackson of the Presidency, has not been
forgotten by the American people. Hence, the coons
are now desirous. of seducing the Yeomanry of the
land into the support of this same Henry Clay, by
holding him up as a pure and honest statesman, and
by attempting to create the impression that thecharge
of corruption still adhering to him on account of his
treachery to the people in 1825, is notfounded in truth.
They, however, are destined to labor in vain. A great
majority of the people believed—they now believe—
that General Jackson was cheated out of the Presi
dency in 1825, and that Henry Clay is the man who
perpetrated the a rong upon thecountry. Let us briefly
advert to some of the circumstances and facts having
.a bearing on the transaction: and we finli them ready
prepared for us, by the Nashville Union.
1. The 7 who were before bitter personal and polit
ical enemies became soddenly bosom friends. By the
vote and influence of Mr. Clay, Adams was made
President, and Adams in turn made Clay Secretary of
State.
2 The people of Kentucky were, , for any bcely but
Adams, and Clay knew it. As an honest man, and
their representative, ho was bound to vote for en
Jackson. What induced him to disregard these ob
ligation. ? Must there not have been a consideration?
3. Gen. Metcalf, one of the members from Kentucky,
when hereturned home to an indignant constituency,
-stated as an excuse for voting for Adams—"We could
not possibly get Clay in the Cabinet without voting for
and electing Adams."
4. Francis Johnson. another member who had made
speeches against Adams, said it was to "make Henry
Clay Secretary of State."
5. David Trimble—a man who had denounced Ad
ams, as en "apostate federalist, and an enemy to the
west, who had offered to barter away the navigation
of the Mississippi river to the British for a mess of
codfish"—apologised for his vote as follows:—WE
DISTINCTLY ASCERTAINED that Mr. Adams
i would make Mr Clay Secretary of State, and that in all
probability Mr. Jackson would not."
5. Beforethe fact stated by Trimble was "distinctly
ascertained," Henry Clay and all his friends Profess
-1 cal tube "uncommitted," and on one occasion Gen.
Metcalfreerarked. "we must know something about
how the cabinet is to be filled." But when it was "dis
tinctly ascertained that Mr. A. would make Mr. Clay
i
1 Secretaryof State," they doffed their neutrality, sac
rificed their constituents, and consummated the ban.
gain.
Mr. Clay was duly installed in the office of Secrets
tary of State, an office which he termed "the line of
safe precedents." He regarded his succession to the
Presidency' after Adams as certain: but he was a
second time disappointed. He and Adams were driv
en from the stations which the people never intended
they should occupy. The state of Kentucky, by whose
vote they had acquired power, gave a laws majority
1 against them, and the verdict of the nation was—
' GUILTY.
Ever since Clay's ejectment from the "line of safe
precedents." be has kept the country in ferment, draw.
irsgpktutes ef distress, and offering various schemes
for relief. He is still bidding—.-appealing through his
projeass loth, Totality andselfishness of voters. His
*whisks.' is sleepless, and we find nothing is his career
since 1825 to weaken in the slightest degree the proofs
of the notorious bargain.

INDIGO to LomatA/ca.—The editor of the Baton
Rouge Democrat has been presented with a box of
Indigo, raised in the parish of West Baton Rouge,
Louisiana. Accompanying the indigo, the editor re
ceived a communication from which the following is
extracted:
"The article has been pronounced by competent
judges as being not inferior to the best Caraccas indigo
selling at $2 per. pound. He says: "One acre of
ground. well cultivated, in West Baton Rouge, will
yield from forty to sixty pounds; that it requires only
from July to October in cultivating n ; that there is not
connected with it one-third of the expense or time that
is generally required fur the cultic ' of cotton."—
He therefore intends in future to turn his attention to
the cultivation of indigo in preference to co. ton."

ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC VICTORt!
DETROIT CITY Eutcriart.
The Fees Press contains the following gkitious is
tseigence which should cheer and animate oar friends
in the con test to-morrow:
"We have the gratification of a/mond* to oar
Democratic friends this morning,that we gained • great
and brilliant victory at the charter election held in this
city yoseseday. We Josue carried oar entire griserat
ticket--electing Gen John R Williams, our candidate
fur Mayorbir ON E HUNDRED AND FORTY-FOUR
MAJORITY, and Messrs O'Beirne, liar is andYousg,
our candidates for Justices, by a majority somewhat
less. The Whig majority in the city last spring for
Mayor was upwards of THREE HUNDRED!
What makes this splendid victory of more than or
dinary political importance, is the fact that the whip,
anticipating a whig triumph and determined to gain it,
had nominated thr Editor and Proprietor of the Adver
tiser—the Clay whig organ at the Capitol, as their
candidate fur Mayor, so that they could announce the
election as a great Clay victory, and send it abroad as
a herald of what the whip were to do in the city et
the Presidential election: They consequently formed
a moat efficient organization, and made the most tntm
enifous efforts to carry their ticket. Their um:am%
pled exertions, which brought out the full strength of
the party, led to corresponding efforts on the part of
the Democrats, and the result is the brilliant victory
we have above announced. '

By the steamship Neptune, at New Orleans, arrived
on the lst instant from Galveston, papers have been re
ceived as late as the 23th ultimo. The mystery which'
involved the question of annexation—or perhaps more
properly-11 e ungratified suite of publicruriosity re
garding it, by last accounts, remains the same. Tbo
subject appears to be the staple theme of controversy,
doubt, surmise, and speculation, in the Texan papers.
Col. Tod came passenger in the Neptune, with de
spatches from Goneral Murphy.our Charge 'dAffairs
at Texas, to Washington. The Houston Telegraph,
in reference to the remarks which the reeent Extra
from that office have occasioned, among other things,
says: --
"There may have been some inaccuracy in the state
ment published in our last number, that a treaty had
been ratified by the Senate of the United States for
the annexation of Texas to the Union. But the state
ment made by the administration papers, that the Se
nate of the United States has had no action upon this
subject, is still more inaccurate. We consider that we
ve positive evidence that the Senate of the United
• es has taken action upon this subject, and more
than two-thinla of the Senators, by a resolution, re
quested President Tyler to form a treaty with the Gov
ernment of Texas for the annexation of the latter coun
try to the Union."
According to previous notice a very large and re
spectable meeting was held at the Washington Hotel,
nn Tuesday evening. The meeting was organized by
appointing Major DAVID LYNCH, Chairman, and
WILLIAM Ew tno, Esty, of Robinson, and SAINVE.T.
COCHRAN, of Mif fl in, • ice Presidents, and Charles
Barnet and L. G. Robinson, Secretaries.'
On motion,
Resolved, That the chair appoint ■ committee of
five to draft a series of resolutions expressive of the
sense of the meeting. °
The following gentlemen were appointed said com
mittee: J. W. Burrell, Wilson M'Candless, Jobe Bar
ton, George P. Hamilton, and Robert Porter.
During the absence 4 the committee the meeting
was very eloquently and appropriately addressed by the
Hon. Charles Shaler, after which the following resolu
tions were Imbed: by Wilson M'Caridlesa,
and adopted unanfliitatsly:
Whereas. The convention which assembled at Her
risburgh, on the 4th instant, in accordance with the
usages of the Democratic party, nominated Martin Van
Buren for President, Richard M Johnson for Vice
President, and Henry A. Muhlenberg for Governor.
Resolved, That we heartily concur in these nomi
actions as the voice of the people, expressed through
their delegated representatives, and to the nominees
of the convention we will yield a cordial and unani
mous support.
Resolved. That the administration of Martin Van
Buren has met with the universal admiration of the
Democratic party, and was signalized by a talent, dis
cernment and patriotism which commends it to the
admiration of a free, intelligent and magnanimous
People.
Resolved, That in the valiant and intrepid John
son we recognize the friend of all conditions end class
es of men, the true lover of his country, the indomita
ble defender of that country's rights, and fur whom
she has reserved a place of high honor and prefer
ment.
Resolved, That we will unanimously support the
nomination of Henry A. Muhlenberg, nut because he
is the choice of all of us, but because he is now the
nominee of the regular republicanconvention—because
heis now the embodiment of our principles, and be
