It is the first time in American politics that a party has ever been obliged to go out of its own pale for an available candidate. The case is the more extraordinary in the fact that it is al together unknown what the sentiments of this nominee are towards the party and its objects, lie has made no declaration of those sentiments. There is nothing in his previous official life to abow that his views accord with those of the Know Nothing party. A majority of the delegates from his own State, who must be presumed to be best acquainted with hi.- aeteal relations to the party, made a written protest against bis nomination, in which it was declared that "the nominee is not a member of tlie American party; he has never been inside of a Council room, and no act of his life, no word spoken or line written by him. which we hare any knowledge of, indicates that he has any sympany with the party, or would carry out its principles;1 and stig matised the nomination as "a betraval of the American movement, a traitorous at tempt to wrest it from its purpose.1 We will not say that so harsh language is de served for the act finds perhaps a suffi cient excuse in the necessity but it is un deniable that the nomination is a virtual re linquishment of the distinctive principles of the party heretofore professed. The parte that dares not to go into battle under a leader, and aith a standard of its own, is no longer a party ' it a mere collection of tmeret naries. It no hut per fghls for a cause ; sjtoils are its only object. Mr. Fillmore, we suppose, will accept this nomination. This in itself is easy en ough but thereafter will come trial. He will have to stand very sharp interrogating from all parties and from all quarters of the Union. Non-committalism, in his case, is clearly impossible. Even supposing that the mass of the voters in the party which nominated him. would allow it, in respect to the objects which they have professed to have at heart, still there are other interests which cannot be lulled into indifference, and other ouestions which cannot be evad ed. What thinks Mr. Fillmore concerning the destruction of the Missouri Compromise and the admissibility of Kansas into the l'nion as a slave State ? The North will have an answer to that question, and so will the South, fur it is the question of the day. The attempt to escape it, should such an attempt be made, will bo set down a proof of a lack of principle, and will alike alienate each section from his support. The disposition of the North, even at this early stage of the matter, is attested by the fact that in the preliminary convention, the famous twelfth section was annulled bv the unanimous vote of every Northern State, save New York, which was equally divided; and the sentiment of the South is well en ough read in its persistent refusal to admit any proposition in the slightest degree at va riance with the principles and policy of the Kansas-Nebraska Hill. Mr. Fillmore will have an infinitely more difficult position to maintain than either of his two competitors. Whoever these personally may be, re may set it down as Certain that they will he the exponents of a principle, in relation to the action of the General Government upon tht all-disturbing subject of slavery. Their ! course will be clear and easy, for they will have nothing to do except to give in their adhesion to the principle, and remain faith ful to it. In doing this, they can alienate none that really belong to their part-. Bat Mr. Fillmore cannot undertake to do this without its ending m drawing upon himself the most vehement opposition from multi tudes of his original supporters. Not even his strongest friends can count sceurelv upon his receiving the eleetorial vote of anv particular State in the Union, for the rery good reason that they cannot scarcely coant upon the poflitiua he may finally take in re ference to the great issues which will inev itably divide the two sections of the coun try during the canvas-.. Millard Fillmore's horoscope would be the very last one any sensible seer in the Know Nothing parte would undertake to calculate.

SHIFWRECK SUFFERING LOSS OF LIFE. The ship John Uutledge, which cleared from Liverpool fr New York on the 16th of Janaary, ran into an iceburg on the 19th of F bruurv, and was damaged) so that it was abandoned, and the passenger, 120 in number, and the crew a Bering 25, took to lli ' boats. OaO boat which had contain ed 13 persons, was picked up on 28th of February, by the ship Otiwla, which arrived at New York, on Sunday last; but one .sailor teas alive, all the rest haring died starvation.

I used some of the tl , tliirti'ou nlr.-.'olv in it. leaving the mate ' ! and those with him to go down with the , wreck. Those in the boat now pulled it through the water and ice as well as they j were able, but soon their compass was broken, and amid the snowy and cloudy weather which followed, they knew not which way they went. Days passed on, and one by one of the thirteen in the boat sank in death, from the combined effects of cold and starvation, and were thrown over board, until the 28th of February, Mr. Nye, with the four latest dead, among whom was Mrs. Atkinson, the wife of the mate, were picked up by the Germania. Thomas W. Nye, the only survivor out of 144 human beings lost by this shipwreck, gi ves the following account of the suffer ings of those who were with him in the small boat: There were five boats attached to the ship, which I think would not have carried all on board. As it was, some twenty-five or thirty were left to go down with the wreck, of whom all but the mate and car penter were passengers. The boat that I was in was the lost to shove off. We Boon lost sight of the ship, and found ourselves thirteen in number upon the wide ocean, with but about a gallon of water, and six or eight pounds of bread. The party in the boat consisted of the boatswain a Scotch sailor five men, four women, and a little girl, passengers and myself. One of the women was the mute's wife. The weather was intensely cold, the boat ship ped a great deal of water, and from the effects of both, the sufferings that we were to encounter were not long delayed. The two other sailors, .Mrs. Atkinson, and myself were warmly clothed; but the passengers, with the exception of one lady, were not. That lady was wrapped up in two blankets. We had a compass in the boat, but Mrs. Atkinson, in jumping in, broke it. It would have been of little use, the boat was so un steady. We made no effort to reach any particular point our only hope being that we should be seen and picked up by some passing vessel. Mrs. Atkinson took charge of the bread and water, and would give but little out. She and the boatswain drank most of the water. Roth were soon ex hausted, and then the bitter cold began to tell upon us. It is my opinion that if we had been well supplied with food and water most of us could have withstood the cold. On the third day in the boat a male pas senger died. He was very thinly dressed a light coat being his only one. He was followed the next day by a woman, whose husband survived her for a day or two. On the fifth day all those on the boat with me began to drink sea water. I warned them against it. but they persisted. I got very little of the water taken from the ship, but I drank no sea water. When my mouth became very parched and "dry, I rinsed it out with sea water, but swallowed none. Some snow fell one day, which I found a great relief. After the others be gan to drink the sea water they died in quick succession. On the seventh day the last one died, and left me the only living being on the boat. The dead who first sue cumbed were thrown overboard ; but the four last were beyond my little remaining strength, aud for more than two day? I was obliged to sit with their distorted bodies before me, and with but little bepe that u better fate would he none.

The St. Louis "Democrat1' states that on the 21st of March, twenty young men, from Charleston, S. C, bound for Kansas, ar rived in that city. They were well equip ped, and declared their purpose to "see Kansas through." A large body of Ten nesseeans, about 50 of the number armed with rifles, also arrived the same day at St. Louis, and immediately embarked on the steamer, " Martha Jewett," for Kansas. They had with them 2i negroes. The in dications now are, that the South has at last become aroused, and determined to com pete with the North for the possession of Kansas, in a fair and legitimate way. The Charleston Evening yens informs us that the Kansas Association of Charleston forwarded its second corps of emigrants (28 in number) by railroad, on Thursday last. They proceed under the business charge of Mr. F. G. Palmer, a graduate of the Charleston Citadel Academy, and a practical civil engineer. A body of four teen or fifteen other emigrants, mostly from Orangeburg District, proceeded on from Branchville yesterday. Capt. Bell, of Edgefield, informs us that his company will leave Graniteville on Sun day afternoon next for Alabama, to join Major Buford's corps of emigrants. He offers to take twenty-five men from Charles ton, if our citizens will advance two hun dred dollars to pay their expenses out to Major Buford. Emigration to Kansas seems to be rapid ly augmenting, as well from the Sonth as the North. On the 10th ult. a steamer left St. Louis with 300 emigrants and eighty cases of rifles. Many Southerners are tak ing their slaves with them. One gentleman from South Carolina recently took with him 50, another 30, and still another 20; and it is stated that about 500 slaves have passed through St. Louis, for Kansas, since the opening of navigation. SLAVERY IN KANSAS. The Lawrence papers are laboring hard to convince their Yankee brethren that slavery does not and cannot exist in this Territor-. They ma- succeed in satisfy ing their Northern friends in this, but how will they get over the census return, which will show over one thousand slaves in Kan sas ? An examination of the Assessor's book of each county, will probably surprise our editorial brethren in Lawrence. They will find that several hundred thousand dol lars of slave property is owned in Kansas, and profitably employed ; and what is bet ter, the master and slave both satisfied with the country. The addition of the slave property in this county is gradually increas ing by the arrival of wealthy farmers from Missouri, Virginia. Kentucky, and other Southern States. In every instance where it has been tried, their labor has brought to their owners a larger return than where they formerly resided; and the planter from Virginia, who has been in the habit of supporting bis negroes, will find that in Kansas they can not only feed themselves but be a profit to their owners. The cli mate and soil of Kansas are peculiarly adapted to slave labor; and hemp, corn, wheat, tobacco, and other staples, can be as profitably produced here as in Kentuckv or other Southern States. In view of these facts, it becomes the duty of ' . ery South ern planter who is not making money fast in the South to remove with his slaves to Kansas, where a fortune awaits him. Squatter (Kansas) Sovereign. Greely, of the N. Y. Tribune, is very indignant about the seizure of a quantity of Sharpe's rifles found on board of the steamer Arabia on her passage to Lawrence, and sent by the Massachusetts Aid Societv, under the charge of one D.

What an instance of woman's love ! This noble woman has declared her perfect willingness to endure hardships and privations of the most trying character, rather than part from the object of her affections. She has said, "whither thou goest I will go, where you die I will die, thy people shall be my people, thy God my God." We wish them a long and happy life.

At a Kansas meeting in New Haven, Connec ticut, a few days since, Prof. Silliman, of Yale College, subscribed a Sharpe's rifle, Rev. Mr. Dutton subscribed a rifle and a bible, for one of the deacons of his church, who is about to go to Kansas ; Miss Dutton gave one, Charles Ives three, and numer ous others subscribed from one to half a dozen. Henry Ward Beecher, who had previously made a speech, said that if twenty-five rifles were raised, he would pledge Plymouth Church, Brooklvn, for as many more.

Mr. Phelps introduced a bill authorizing the President to cause the Southern boundary line of Kansas to be defined and marked. The bill was referred to the committee on Territories. A lively discussion took place on the naturalization question, pending the bill defining the qualification of the voters of Washington. Without coming to any decision the House adjourned. March 26.

On motion of Mr. Butler, the post office committee was in structed to enquire into the expediency of discontinuing the franking privilege to mem bers of Congress, and, in lieu thereof, allow ing them money for the payment of postage; also authorizing the committee, if so ttey think fit, to report a bill regulating the postage on letters and packages which members may transmit.

What will these gentlemen j think ot .Mr. tiumorc s congkaillaii.u him on his election as Governor of Virginia? It is even so! In a letter to the Richmond Enquirer, dated 14th iust., in relation to the charge that be had compared Mr. Fillmore to Gen. Washington, Gov. Wise says: "I could not begin to compare any man with George Washington. But I can reason about Mr. Fillmore and talk to and of him i with great respect; but just as I would of ! any other man, without one particle of j reverence. I knew him long in Congress, and can well attest to his personal virtues j as a good, plain, moderate, prudent, and, I believe patriotic gentleman. But I agreed with him on very few political questions, if any. If we voted together, as we sometimes did, it was for opposite reasons and different ! ends. Mr. Fillmore was and is of the New tective tariff, for internal improvements by the general government, for distribution of revenue, for seal banks and fiscal corpora tions, latitudinarian in all respects, and was decidedly and unequivocally an anti-slavery representative aud man.

Such exclusiveness in those who are dependent upon our country for bread, butter and social position, does not harmonize with the genius of Canadians.
