I'KOM THE NATIONAL 1NTKI-MOKNCKR. THH NKW JKKSEr DISASTER. The Northern pripors brinjr us abundant tle- tiiils of the last railway nninler, and our hearts sicki’ti as we read accounts of the horrible deaths and ghtistly wounds inviivro'I throujzh the palpa ble atul dot, stable ra.vlnuss of those in charge of the traitis ficiii I’hiladclphia and Now ^ oi'k. J he terms cress nc:li‘of anl culpable carelessness fall short «f’ (Ik- atrocity of such acts of reckless dis- rc^Mul of human life. They do not ]tlaee the crime in a proper light before the public, atul evm they arc seMont used, unless, as iu (nis case, a di‘]>h>rabie loss of life attends the crash ot ineoi- inir trains. If ever any tliinir more than ncwspa]ier con- detntuifiiin is to follow the pcrpctralioti (>f svuh fuolliardv triiiinr with the safety of those who , * ^ 1 • * i' cuntide thcmscvt's to the care and disc'retion ot a railn'ad ( (.'mpany's servatits, it seems to us that the ]-rcsent loudly calls for the inter ference of -liistice !!i her sternest and promptest mor 1. \Ve read that one if not both trains were out of tinie; yet the Xew York train, accordinj: to ; one \\itne», thi iiyh iduiidiiiir a curve, very i at that point, “was ci’inin'r along like lightning, both trains eudeavorinir to reaeli sonie station at wliii lt tliey could lay by and h t the other pass. 'J he Vfrj' statement ot sueh tacts carries with it the strongest reprohation and abhorrence ot sueh ciiminal rasliness. Who iu the community may not have just ]>arted with those dearest to him, or be imjiatiently expeeting their n turn, by ai;y tialn, and, abovf the torturing .-n.'pense he sutlers from the first telegnsphie rumor until the true events art’ known, who can be sure th:it the real facts will not I ring tidings (jf the death or maiming of those whom he had exptcted soon to greet after a weary absence? They nr.iy have been hurried ijito a river, thrown d« wn a moun tain, tossed ami crushed beneath a pile of shatter ed curs, and all from the obtusencss of ii draw- keeper, the drunkenness of an engineer, or the negligence of a switchman. We take it to be a thing certain that the 1*iroc- tors of a railroad company, e.xcept under rare and peculiar ireuui?*ances, have the n niedy for tin se wholesale slaughters in their haiid. They can be, if they ch>'o>e. j irfei tly sure thr.t their st r- vauts are i-onipefenf, sol.t r. di.'ert'et, and \igi!aiit. 'J hey can regulate with undeviatitiL' certainty the rates of travel, the tiTtU " f starting, the preeau- tions to be ad- j ted in i veiy eontii.gency whieh can hapj en in the runiiing of their trains.

Evereft’s Eloquence.—The speech of Ed ward Everett at the late Plymouth celebration has furnished the New York Journal of Cou)nierce with an ocea.sion for the following glowing com pliment to that gentleman’s oratory: “The speeches of Hon. Edward Everett and ITon. Kichard Yeadon, delivered at the 1 lymouth celebration on the first instant, are both able and eloquent productions, worthy alike of the men who delivered them and the occasion that culled ■ak for thcni.'5(dves, and THE DEMOCRACY OF NEW YORK.

The appointment of a ^\ hig State Convention has yet to be made, A fine opening is offered for a new’ organization, up on a new platform, which will trke root and flour ish, ami extend all over the Union. But the re mains of the late whig party are so strongly satu rated with the abomin.Tble isms of Seward and his organs, that we fear tlie majority can only reorganize upon a free-soil, anti-rent, woman’s rights, land reform, Maine liquor law, and protec tive tarifi platform, or something of th.*>t sort. But then there will be an opportunity for an in- Inangural? There is nothing there 1 am unwil ling to endor.se. He was desirous of .seeing who would vote against the resolution. He was for throwing no firebrands; but if this be one, let the ji.arty burn up! No true democrat exists but can stand upon this platform. If Pierce is now afraid to stand up to this position, let him leave the Presidential chair ami let us have some man who will. I have voted for barnburners, and will again; but I will vot« for no man who does not stand upon the platform of the Democratic party. I have sustained men who did not advocate these principles, without knowing it; but I shall never again sustain a man who does not support this doctrine. I am not acting here as a Hunker, nor as a factioui.st of any kind. If John Van Buren is a democrat now, I should vote for him. As we have said, the result was the p.assage your Sunday pantaloon: “I swapped ’em away, mother, for a book.” “I am delighted, my son, to find you so de voted to study. Not for twenty pair of panta loons would I baulk the bent of your genius. Rut what book do you fintl so irresistibly attractive, my dear boy? ‘Pilgrim’s Progress,' or the ‘W’hole Duty of Man.’ ” “No, ma am, it wasn’t ’zactly that, but some thing of the same nature; it was the ‘Whole Art of Boxing!’ ” Among the innumerable anecdote.s of John Randolph the following is not the worst: A young aspirant for Congressional fame saw fit, in his maiden speech, to give proof of his boldne.ss and eloquence by a long and abusive attack upon the eccentric member from Virginia. At the conclu sion of the young orator’s voluminous address the hero of Roanoke arose, and stretching his long nervous arm towards the seat of the complacent youth, with a half-inquiring, half-contemptous look, thus replied: “Mr. Speaker, tcho's thitf’ Ireland.

We need not trouble ourselves about these things, nor fret ourselves becau.se of evil doers; but .safely trust the “Ruler with his skies.”—John Adamf A W iscon.sin lawyer is said to have comnionced an addre.ss to the Court in the following style: ‘‘The Court will please observe that the gentle- man from the East has given them a very learned speech.
