Tbey have apparently straggled to bring about

srt-ntioslv done this for the putty purpart of
curio g a temporary party triumph. Tbe Union,
in firm at least, we think, would survive tbe suo

uiuph would probably keep the furnaces of sec
tiukal passion red hot, and ultimately, and it may
be at 00 distant day. its rash errors would en
gender a storm of sectional conflict beneath which
the ror era merit would sink into ruins. We think
ther. too, will fad.
Bat we believe the time has come when the com'
mon safety requires that the raging sectional
beats of those parties should be cooled. The
time has come when national, conservative men,
recting the Constitution, true to their whole
country, and 'indignantly frowning upon the fin t
' dawning of dwunion,' should stand shoulder to
ahoulder, and unite in placing at tbe head of the
government a Chief alagutrate in whose capaci
tr. houeatv and patriotism all coontle. The Na-
Uoual American party have bow presented such
man one who, being suddenly called npon to
take the helm of the government, at a time when
tbe Heavens were lurid with the angry tempest
of lS4-'60. so successfully rode out that storm.
so faithfully and gallantly secured tbe safety of
tbe noble shi p of State, as to win Trutn an admir

In regard to the charge against Mr. Fillmore

such as consult their fears rather than rely npon

Upon the ere of our adjournment, these and
similar assertions are again, renewed, with, a new
no doubt of sowing the seeds of alienation and
distrust between our friemds in different sections
f the Union, and these wicked and flae state
ments are sect to the coon try by railroad, by
telegraph, and by ttiiasionaries and emissaries,
I with a seal and apparent confidence worthier of
a better cause, and the assertion if now added
that Mr. Fillmore will be now withdrawn.
In addressing you now, we wish definitely to
contradict these untrue reports, and correct as
Lir as we can tbe false imDreasnon to which they
have given rise, and thus to strip our enemies of
tbeir most ravonte ana neany oniy remaining
means of warfare.
None of these charges and insinuations are
true. We speak to all sections of our common
country in saying so. Tbe frieads of our candi
dates, both North and Sooth, are standing firmly
by their colors and by their men. and will do so
on til the coo teat is decided in November. Tbey
do so both from choice and from duty. They
choose it, because their, men aland 00 the only
truly national platform,- as broad as tbe entire
Union, and exactly co-ex tenet re with the Consti
tution, recognizing tbe rights of the States on
tbe one hand, and the Federal Government on
tbe other, and holding each sovereign within its
proper sphere : and their duty requires that these
geographical, these sectional parties, both Repub
lican and Democratic, so called, shall be driven
from the field. Whoever aids either, aids the one
section of common country against the other.
We can say to our friends In all sections, that
from henceforth till the .election in November,
tbey shall work ha good heart and spirit ; that
stones of Iukewarmness and abandonment of our
candidates must be based upon something in the
futnre ennerent from tbe. past, to be true ; that
North and south tne friends or our candidates
are true as well tempered steel, and are working
with the more heart, seal and conodeuoe as toe
canvass progresses. The hearts of true national
mn, North and South, beat in unison with each
other, and their hands are being vigorously applied
to a common labor, and for a common result :
and there la not tbe leastreason, in any section,
for distrust of friends in any other. Let not tbe
enemy reap any fruits from the insidious policy

lean to us from this point of observation that u
all who in their hearts prefer Millard Fillmore
For President shall vote for him. he will be tri-
ustpaanffv eUata.
We do not pretend todirect, govern, or control
the movement In favor of tbe American cause
That is a matter solely in the hands of tbe peo
ple at large. It is theirs; they originated it.
i e believe our candidates, however, are infinite
ly stronger amongst the people than among politi-
rians, who hsppen at this time to be in power, or
struggling to acquire it. Let tbeir friends be of
good cheer. Let them do their duty, and they
will be astonished at their great strength at the
polls. Let each man go to work and confide in
au jruna eueweere, and tAe victory u rare
o cunumgly devised stones should induce them
for one moment to think of taking sides between
the candidates of those dangerous sectional or
ganizations which are now struggling to concea
trate the North against the South, or the South
against tbe North. Tbey should, and will, 6ott
be overthrown. The country requires repose and
demands aalety. I be mends of Fillmore and
Donelson are the mends of the Union. They
have the power to elect them, and thus strengthen
the bonds or tbat Ineodahin and confidence be
tween tbe North and the South which in other
days added suchpower and glory to the Republic
uei us now pieage ourselves each to the other
tbat erery man will do kit duty to our candidates
and our cause, and vou mar relv nnon it the
country will be saved from the dangers that en
compass It, and restored to the quiet and cona
dence which blessed it at the close of Mr. Fill

CAN THE CONSERVATIVES TOTE FOR
MR. BUCHANAN f ;
There are certain politicians whose aim through
life has been to be all things to ail men, and at
the head of these we place Mr. Buchanan. So
consistent has been his inconsistency, so thorough'
ly antipodal have been the political DrindrJes bv

Northern admirers aia enabled to furnish abun
dance of evidence of his loyalty to that particular
section of the Union, while his supporters it the
South can, with the same ease, pant to innumer
able instances m which he has ertneed himself
altogether favorable to their peculiar, views but
neither the Xtorth nor the South can find, tn the
whole of his political career, any act of his which
rose to the dignity of national impartiality, or was
prouocuve ot national gotxi.
Mr. Buchanan has evidently timed all bis pub
1 e . 1 -
lic acts by the clock oT persoual Interest, and has
continually oscillated, like a pendulum, from side
to side, by tbe sheer force of tbe weight by which
ne was propeiieu.
Now we hold it to be Indisputable, that he
who has been for and against every rreat mea
sure which has agitated the country, lays himself
open to we charge of having bern influenced by
private views rather than by the more patriotic
principle ot suil-abnegation. Either the judg
ment of Mr. Buchanan is exceedingly weak, or his
political morality 01 ue lowest sort, for an exam-
luatiou ot bis public vibrations proves that he
baa been
Anti-Democrat,
A Peace Advocate,
Tariff,
Bank,
Missouri Compromise,
Anti-slavery,
Democrat.
A Filibuster.
Anti-Tariff.
Anti-Bank.
Kansas-Nebraska,
Pro-slavery.
And, in short, has always
kepthhxself in that
soft state which enables the dominant party to
mould him into any form it oleaattl the nwit
shape into which he has been converted being
that of the Cincinnati platform.

THfi LXSTISLAKD CALAMITY
Our New Orleans exchanges come to us tilled
with details of the awful sacrifice of Ufa which oc
curred by tbe late inendatton at Last Island.
Rare instances of mala and female heroism are re
corded, and many cases of" presence of mind an.
fidelity and attachment on the part of noble heart
ed slaves have come to light- From the Picayune
of the 26th -we extract the fbllowinz items :
" Mr. Louis Desobry, Sr' bsd some" nineteen rr
twenty io his1 family, the fives of all of whom he
was most fortunate ro preserving, iiiey consist
ed of himself and -wife, Mrs.' Dardenne and four
children, and Miss Laura and Henrietta Clement,
and the servants. In the early part of the morn
ing, he and others went to bracing up their houses
in anticipation of a gale. About 2 P. M., the back
gallery was torn from the house and whirled over
the roof, amidst the whizzing ' of shingles that
were flying about in every direction. -The reof
followed next, then tbe . south gable and upper
floor.' Sand, chips, shingles, the pelting rale, and
the wreck of houses darkened the air and made it
rco possible to see any distance. Tbe house was
tore eradualry to pieces, a portion of the wreck
lodging against the cistern, which served to pre-:
vent the whole from being floated away. - By
keeping huddled together under some standing
timbers, the family was partially preserved iron
tbe weather. ' About 6 o clock, when the water
of the bay and gulf met,' Mr. Desobry's house,
or the wreck of it, was lifted from its foundation
and carried some twenty feet. " Two of his ne
groes escaped by getting up a .prickly ash tree.
A good deal of sand and drift bad fortunately as-
camulated In front of the house, which wa9
another protection.' - Iu the morning : not even
the remains of a house could be seen. '
Mr. Wm. Hart, with those under his charge.
were also miraculously- preserved. He . was iu
the house of Gov. Ilebert, which early went to
pieces, and portions "were blown away. 1 here
were under bis charge, bis wire and two children,
Mrs. Leftwich and Miss Mildred Lawes. Most of
them were bruised by tbe falling timbers. - A
child of Mrs. Dickenson, being blown out into
the yard, then covered with several feet of water,
happened to lodge against a remaining gate post.
His mother sprang after him, and her sister, Mr?,
Leftwich, went to her. They thus bocamo sepa
rated some distance from Mr. Hart, who was
standing oa portions of the wrecked house lodg
ed against the cistern. An old negfa man, a
servant of Gov. Ilebert, with a soul truly noble,
then came to the assistance ' of tbe ladies who
were holding to the post, and lining a shutter
above their heads, sheltered them from the rail
ing timber. He afterwards conducted them to
Mr. Hart, who got them around him, and threw
a blanket over them to screen them from the
weather. They thus stood in this terrible sitna
tion all night, their ' breath being nearly taken
away by the rain, and by tbe waves dashing over
their heads. - Ail the ladies bad lost nearly every
remnant of their clothing, it being cut to pieces
and blown from their bodies by the wind.' It is
reported by one of the above ladies that Miss
kanma Mule was seen to be swept past them by
the fury of the gale, literally lifting her from the
ground and bearing her onward. She was found
next morning some distance off, lying beside a
log senseless, and covered with scarcely the rem
nant of a garment. She is now at the residence
of Dr. Duperier, in Attakapas, and is reported to
be doing well. Sir. Hart held a child in his
arms, lifting it above the waves during the many
painful nours that be and bis family were in
their periloua situations. In the morning they
aii go on ine wrecK ot tne our, in truly a
Eitiabla and embarrassing situation.' He and
is company lost all their clothes and valuables.
A servant found a valuable box of fewelry.
which he gave to his master: we . were sorry.
however, to learn that the servant received but
one doilar as a reward for his honesty. Many
servants are known to have been instrumental
in saving children,1 comparatively few of whom
were lost, considering the great number on the
island. It is reported that a servant of the la
mented Mr. Schlatre, who was saved, remarked
to her that she could save one of her children
which should she take T Her - mistress was sitt
ing on the bed at the time beside her little frirl.
whose back had been injured in some manner.
She replied "Oh, how can I say whick shall hveT'
This was the last the servant saw of her mistress.
immediately afterwards the house was blown to
piece, and the wreck driven into the Gulf.
No lady, and probably no gentleman, showed
more presence of mind, nor , a more correct judg
ment, in so trrinz a situation, than Mrs. Oonner.
She clung to her house, and then to her kitchen,
until bot h were blown away. It is said that a
skiff fortunately came within her reach at about
this time, by which means she got to where the
thought was the shallowest water. Here she told
ber children and servants to take hold of each
other's hands and plant their feet firmly to tbe sand
end to do tbis most effectually she made them
taxe on ineir shoes nd when a wave came that
rolled over their hiads, to face it and all bow to
it as she did, and at once thus preventing the
wave from washing them.' away by diminishing
Jts force upon them, and also from their being
sejiarated. In this awful situation she spent tbe
bight, nothing but a black sea around ber. amidst
the rain that poured down in torrents, and etch
ing breath only as each wave left 'their heads
above water. Mrs. U. had" milled off her dia
monds and laid them oh the table previous to
dressing for dinner, when the hotra began to give
""j , roimk uvrjcwtnrj anu everyinuig eise.
A faithful negro next mornine picked en arnne
of her silverware from the sand, and gave it to
her. It was afterwards stolen from her after she
had got on board of the wreck of the Star. ' Mh

do to cling to the plank beneath them! Late ti

She was conjured to let the tireless corpse sink,
or she would inevitably be dashed into the sea

. TREES IN THE CITY.
Of all graceful, agreeable, refreshiug ornaments,
none can lie compared ;to the trees jo a city.
kvery person feels their pleasant influence, and

do-' not miss them, even in streets enriched with
the most splendid architectural ornaments, where
they are wanting In fact, we are almost tempt
ed to believe that trees or the sight ot them
constitute; like air and sun-light, a natural neces
sity of human natnrc. - It does not seem that peo
ple can be intellectually -healthy who never see
trees. 1 ' ' . . ;
Science has, of late years, dissipated much of
the old fashion apprehension that trees are un
healthy. We do not believe it not even of the
silanthus. On the contrary, we have full faith
that tlie benefit which they confer, on the eyes
alone, fully balances every other defect attributed
to them. Where people cannot get works of art,
let them hare trees and flowers in fact, they
should never be without either "Any man who
will study them as they deserve, in his odd mo
ments, will find himself more advanced tn art and
intelligence than he had ever supposed himself
capable of beeoiniug.
By all means plant trees, and when you have
done so. take ?ood care of them. Of late years.
since every idiot near the city has taken to shoot
ing everything that flies, birds have become scarce.
Even In the squares, tlie last touch of destruction
has been put to them by squirrels, and, m con
sequence, worms devour the leaves" pi several
varieties of trees. . But if every man who ownsa
tree will only have if attended to, he can greatly
diminish this pest. The linden worms, it is said,
will not molest a tree, if it be well washed once
or twice with a hose during the time thitt they,
or rather their parents, infest it in the form of a
small white moth i while the cocoons of other
varieties of insects, which hang conspicuously all
winter Ions? 00 tlie boughs, pan be removed With
out troubling any gardener. . .
Trees are, therefore, a trouble ; yes, a little ;
and yet we should be sorry to see our city with'
out them. -We cannot analyse the feeling, but
we cannot resist the conviction that tbey shonld
exist wherever there are chudren. fJbJtdren and
trees go as naturally together as lovers and moon
light. Trees make a great impression ou the
youthful mind, and always play a great part iu
all early associations. How many are there a-
mong our readers in whose minds some "old tree"
doe not figure among the rys and Borrows of
early life 7 Listen to the next old gentleman
you hear talking about his boyhood, and ten to
one he wilt not have gone far before he conies to
the did tree. They are great institutions, those
old trees : aud though our city is verylshaded as
it is, we only wish that we had more of them,
We have often wondered if it would not be
possible to plant the elm more in our, streets.
There are several of the larger trees wlitth grow
to. ai vantage, particularly in the more retired
portions of the city, where no one would grudge
tbem the ; room they occupy, and where they
might spread themselves up to the sizoof the
California WeUingtonea Qigantca, if they felt so
fmposed. we lear that much of the small ware
is the way of trees, which is at present sprinkled
aoout so liberally, will not outlast our own tunes.
We would uke to have those who are to cme af
ter us, say a century hence, look npoims as men
of enlarged ideas, with souls above button, arid
up at least to " button-woods. 1 ' ' ' ' ! "
There is something high-totted and large-minded
in planting large trees for the benefit of pos-
teruy. - moreover, wuni 11 ine 01a sciayouian su
perstition should be true, that' the' wills of the
dead rest amid the leaves of thf trees which they
hne planted while alive on earth, anil thai those
who never planted any trees Rre" obliged to go
flying about with never a chance to settle down
in pace f How, in such a case, would some of
t'nose people fare whose highest exploits In the
planting line consists of setting a geranium in a
pot ? :: What a poor roo?t tbat -Would be for a re
spectable man, whorri nothing short 'of a first

his will. In short; We hope to see every part of

MADNESS RULES THE HOUR.
The times are sadly out of joint. Wheu, in the
history of pur government, has there ever been
such a disposition to adopt mob law, and leave
the peace and EgDity of the State to the tender
mercies of Judge Lynch; as during this weak and
vacillatiug dynasty ? A, whole year of mad mis
rule in Kansas ; nearly a ball year of usurped
authority' in the hands ofa self-constituted Vigi
lance Committee in California ; spontaneous hang

not iuterfere with Kansas. She is his baby his
pet ; and like all pet babies has been spoiled.
He, conjointly with Douglas, made Kansas.. She
became tbeir mutual hobby. , Both mounted the
young jade and rode under whip and spur for tlie

And much waa the "old man eloquent" taunted
with his unlncky expression about riot "being
paLsiedby the will of constituents.'' The subject
was laughed out of Congress and derision was
heaped on the man and his message, during his
whole administration. This was iu 1825. Now
the national observatory is justly the pride of the
nation', and ranks among the scientific establish
ments of the age. . : ;v i, ,-
We have lately read with much interest an
orat;on delivered at Albany by Mr. Everett on the
inauguration of the Dudley Astronomical Obser
yotory, in which the orator eloquently portrays
the uses of these establishments, of which there
are now in the country some, fifteen or, twenty.
They are no longer called "Light houses ia the
skies ;" but all parties share in the - pride of the
national renown acquired by the one at , Wash
ington, Under the charge of the celebrated Mau
ry and bis able corps. :,
We quote from the excellent. speech of Mr.
Everett, the following beautiful passages :
1st. In the first place, then. wederive from
the observations of the heavenly bodies, - which
are made at an observatory, our , only adequate
measures of time and our only means of compar
ing the time of one place with the time of another.
Our artificial time-keepers, clocks, watches and
chronometers, however ingeniously contrived and
admirably fabricated, are but a transcript, so to J
say, of the celestial motions, and would be, of no
value without the means of regulating them by
observation. It is impossible for them , under
anv circumstances to escape the imperfection of
all machinery, tbe wort of human hands ; and
the moment we remove with 'our time-keeper
oast or west, it fails us. It will keep home time
alone, like the fond traveller who leaves his
heart behind hiin. ; The artificial instrument ia
of incalculable utility, but must itself be regula
ted by the eternal clock-work of the skies. .
This single consideration is sufficient to show
how completely the daily business of life is affec
ted aud controlled by the heavenly bodies. It is
they and not our main-springs, our expansion
balences and our compensation pendulums, which
give us our time. To reverse the line of Pope,
Tis with our watches as our judgments ; none
