STEAMBOAT CAPITOL BURNT-THREE LIVES LOST 'lllVekleeterfmm the St Louis Republican, that on Sat .erday night last, at - out eleven o'clock, the steamboat "Calskol, bouts fern Pittsburgh to St Louis. whilst ly ltif at elt Mary's landing, about seventy miles below St Louis, was destroyed by fire. The fire was discovered rby some of the Lancet, which lay immediately above Abe Capitol. It origioatod about midway of the boil lira, probably from some &feet in the furnaces, and -spread with incredible rapidity. The alarm was in. saintly given, and the paieneers, most of whom were :asleep, with the exception of three, succeeded in ma iringtbeir escape. The flames spread upwards and Xbroogis the cabin, so swiftly that 'eyelid of those in •itte cabin affected their escape by letting themselves • down on the afteetuat di. The wind was blowing a etroogbreeite from the bow to the stern, which drove the Barnes aft. A Mr Dalrymple, his wife, a son (MasterJoaeph D . ) .atod daughter, a young lady, were passengers on board. From the best accounts we cast gather, it is most prob able Mr Dalrymple and his son perished in their state -Iroom. They had been awakened by the Captain, and •ibis is the but tnat is certainly known to them. Mrs and herdaughter reached the cabin, when the moth -or fabrted and fell; the flames rushing in, the daughter had barely time to save her life, by letting herself Amen on the afterguard. Thus, the father, mother -land son, it is believed, perished in the flames. Mr Dams from Lynn, Mass.,nnd was moving to a farm -in tbs vicinity of Carlinville, 111. He had nn board a large aineaut of valuable property, all of which was lost. A Mr M'Ls NE and his lady had barely time to in tho clothes in which they were sleeping. -.DS, had upwards of $5,500 in gold in his trunk, which was lost. There were but few persons in the cabin: if it had been otherwise, a number most have been 1001 t, as there were not time to have awakened them. There v►as is number of families on deck, all of whom were saved, although most of them lost their baggage and clothing. The Captain and his lady. and all the crew succeeded in getting ashore, but books, money and papersof tbe boat were all !oat. She had on board a full cargo, chiefly iron, much of which will probably be • recovered. The Capitol was nearly new, commanded Capt. Birmingham, and was not insured. The Lancet took tha passengers and crew to St Louis arriving thereon Sunday morning. ..3r eat praise Ilb:stowed by theaufrerers upon Capt Higgs and his rs for the humane and generous treatment they received. The following is a list of persons on board the Cap itol, so far as we have been able to obtain their names: Cabio—Mr Mattox, Mr M'Lane and lady, Misr :Dalrymple. Miss Dickey.

SMITH, B.DITWISV PITTS WU RIH ,NVE DN ESP* ; ~os~~ i whigs intended to vote for the democratic candidate for Mayor, and that it was his duty to take some steps to prevent the evil example of their 'conduct having an injurious influence on Mr Howard's prospects. The Deacon sat right down and wrote a long ar:icle about the necessity, patriotism, beauty, and excellence of the whigs sticking to their principles, and wound up his buret of indignation by pronouncing a number of the whigs no better than "{sable/ excre.cences." The editor's reflections on a firm adherence to prin ciples, tire so good,and come with so much propriety from him—who has never change& his npiniens— that we cannot refrain from nicking a short extract.-.- He says; "We go far Principles and Men (he means pried pa/and such men as the fifteen whigs)—not for men without principles; (still meaning principal) or meri with bad principles (uncurrent paper money for in stance.) Principles sorter and then the best men we can get to carry There nut. But the principle is the main thing (so you made the immortal fifteen under stand before you would consent to support Clay).' After this eulogy on principle, ho goes on to abuse the whigs in a most unpt hicipled manner, because he had heard that some of them do not intend to vote as he may dictate. We do not know whether the charge made against the whigs by the Gazette is true, and can but little whether it is of is not; but we think it somewhat strange that Deacon White, who has been scarcely a year in the whig winks hinse/f, and who stubbornly refused to support their men until the principles of the fifteen whigs were laid before him, should now un dertake to abuse men who were faithful to the bud cause, long before he opened his negotiations with the fifteen; even when be was charging the leading men of the party with all manner of crimes an misde meanors. The whigs may have been brought to such a state of subjection by Deacon White as to quietly submit to %Le gentle epithets t.f ''silly creatures" and "hateful ex crescences," but a recollection of his own changeable core sheuld admonish the editor of the Gazette how extremely rediculoui it is in him to accuse any of his political associates of a want of principle. ANoTHEIt WHTO CANDITALTE to THE FIELD.— Alex. Hay, E,41., announces himself as a candidate c er Mayor. The whig party, to which Mr Hay belongs, will have plenty of their own men from whom to pick and choose. The handbill requesting Mr Hay to become a candidate, is said to have the names of several democrats . upon it. Some of these have already told us that they signed the pa per before a democratic nomination for Mayor was made, and before they knew one would be made, and that they will feel bound to sustaln the regular nomi nee of their own party. We have nothing to say against Mr HAT personally. But he is a consistent whig, and should not receive democratic votes, as long MI we have a candidate of our own in the field,—the fact, too, that he has held the office of Mayor for three terms, would rrevent any democrat from supporting him who goes in for the excellentprinciple of rota tion in office. CoMMESCED IHEIR Won[. -The Whig Legislature of Obio, have passed a bill to revire the Banking powers of the Ohio Life, Trust -and Insunusee temps- The public will remember that this is one of the corporations that exploded a few years since, and brought ruin and distress upon hundreds of the indus trious working men of Cincinnati, who had been paid for their labor in its depreciated promises. The vil lany of it■ failure was so apparent, that it created a feeling of indignation, which the strong arm of the law could not restrain, and the populace gave vent to their wrath by "gutting the Old Cow," as the institu tion was called, and destroying the office where its iniquitoous schemes to rob the public were consum mated. Since then the "Old Cow" has kept quiet; the managers dui not dare to make their schemes known to a democratic Legislature; they knew that with honest representatives of the people, the revival of an institution that had once swindled the poor stood but a little chance of success. They waited until the proper time arrived—until the friends of such in stitutions had control of the Legislature, and then they made their designs public. There is no doubt the Trust Company will re ceive all the privileges that it desires, and it will commence another course of financiering, which, after the lapse of a few years, may again close in a second grand explosion.

Aldsrntex —James Blakely, Jno. A . Parkinson •'s This element cf republicanism, according to the old Federalist *elm% has given an example of its virtues and advantages in the selection of the Council Ticket of the Third Ward. Some of the managers in that Ward who are solicitous for gaining or retaining a seat in the Councils, probably recollecting that the Whig ticket succeeded by a very few votes last year, for the reason, as was supposed, that the democratic ticket contained none but Irishman. As there was a little sprinkling of nativism existing that long ago, an entire Irish ticket was too much for a few of the voters and it was defeated. II uwever, the election was scarcely ever, a hen it was discovered that tho Whig ticket also, with only one exception, was made up of foreigners.— This was a thing which was not tu be reiterated spin. Accordingly we now see that lathe composition of the ticket this year. the only one oft he last year's CoLoci I men, is the native before alluded to. It is nude frim my present purpose to strip here to inquire why the whigs should place upon their ticket one of those tlisorganizers who has his name down to the Native constitution, and boasts of it. It may, perhaps, make fun fur the bystanders to see the whip' at the polls contending against Reinhart, the native candidate for Mayor, while they are supporting one of his leagued friends for a Council-man. Bat to the ilbutratioa. Two of the members of the last Conneit, residents on the hill, both owner* of corsiderable property where they reside, and, working mechanics, have bee% left of this year, being foreign ers;—and their places are filled by gentlemen (who are native Americans of aurae,) vihu have within the last year taken up their residence in the ward in rent ed houses; and whether they will reside there for the term fur which they are to be chosen, I presume the citizens are not informed. Now, whatever men may be disposed to think of the subject of nativeism in the abstract, sr the want of capacity of foreigners to judge of the alflirs of our government, I would simply ask of the citizene,vittet h yr the men who have been thus left of the ticket, are not likely to Feel as deep an interest in the ward and the city, as the men who have been substitated for them, who, if they are not foreigners, are strangers in the ward, and almost strangers in the city I havechtisen to select the two referred to solely for the illustration;—but there are two others who have been left of, perhaps, becanse of their foreign birth, who have lived in the ward este before many of the voters in it were bore, and are large property own ers in it. Bat I think all further remarks on this sub ject unnecessary, as one example of bow Nativism works is worth a volume of declamation on the abstract principle. THIRD WARD. Pursuant to notice, the Democratic citizens of the sth Ward, convened at the Public School House, on Monday evening last. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the evening, the meeting was one of the largest ever held in the sth Ward. There was a general attendance of those who constitute the voting portion of the Democratic part) —certainly enough to ensure the realization of the premise given, that the sth ward would cast a larger rots for Hermit S.

The following Resolution* Mat then, upon motion, unanimously adopted: Resolved, That we have seen no good reason for lieving whiggery any better now, titan it was when de feated by the Democracy of the country in Novem ber last. Resolved, That we have as little faith in the new fangled doctrines of Native-Americanism, as in those of Whiggery, regarding the principles of both as sub versive of the rights of the mass, and in derogation of the liberal spirit of the Constitution and Laws of the Country. Resolved. That we condemn, and will oppose, the spirit end principles of those who seek to make sec tarianism a qualification for office, or for the exercise of the Elective Franchise, . whether they make an open fight, or appear to us under the more seductive, but less manly, garb of Native Americans. Resolved, That we consider the ascendancy of Democratic principles in the Municipal affaim of our city, as es matter of urgent importance to every citi zen, an in order to effect such ascendancy we pledge ouraelqm to use all honorable sauna to elect HENRY 8 M*oaaw, Esq. Mayor. Resolved. That we have implicit confidence in the integrity and capacity of HICNRY S. Mill/RAW, EMI., to discharge faithfully and energetically, the duties of , Mayor of our city, and in believing, we recommend ; him to the support of all good . eitizena. Resolved. That this meeting pledge themselves to sustain the Democratic Ticket nominates! •for Ward officers, and that we will tura alit to-morrow %sae forests& at the election ground, and show by our vines, the confidence we have in it. p rev i one to the -adoptio n of the Resolutions the meeting was addressed by Messrs Magni w.
