Collier, the candidate of the secession party for the office of Governor of that State, has been olected. Whil ‘we regret that popular elections, in any part of the United States, should tura on the question of se- ceasion fiom the Union, we cannot shut our eyes to the fact that the Weeds, Sewards, and Van Burens ofthe North havo bee the cause of it. In conse- quence of the incessant warfare whieh has beon ‘waged against the Southein States and their ins‘i- vations, for some years past, by these demagogues, for purposes of their own, either to gratify a re- vengeful disposition, or to reach office, the South or, at least, a portion of it—considers itself ound by honor and duty to seek to dis solve @ connection, with the terms of which the North will not comply to a greater extent than it sbioks proper. We donot gee that the position as- sumed recently by the whigs of Ohio an enasyl- wania and New York, will suspend the uvovewent thus commenced in the South. On the contrary, wo feel certain that it will increase its momentum if this agitation be continued, and where it will stop no one can tell. Our readers will find, under our telagraphic head, ‘an account of a dreadful casualty, by which nine- deen personas were lost, at Kingston, Upper Canad: It was caused by the upsetting of a boat containing thirty-five persons, who were returning from a pic nic excursion. There is a good deal of excitement in Boston, in eonsequence of arumor that a warraat has been assued there for the arrest of @ fugitive negro. If the report is true, and if the slave be appre- hhonded, we have no doubt that full justice will be done toward him, and that the law wil! be carried out, if his identity and the fact of his esoape be established to the satisfaction of the proper au- thorities. aah @rrival of the Baltice Another Wonderful Passage. ‘The Collins steamship Baltic arrived in this city at six o'clock yesterday morning, and her mails were immediately transferred to the Post Office euthoritics, who punctualty distributed their con- tenis by nine o’clock—thus giving merchants and others, in the metropolis, an opportunity to reply to their Europoan correspondents by the Pasitic, which sailed for Liverpool a few hours aftecwards. ‘The probability is, therefore, as the Pasific and Baltic ure the two models of speed in the steam marine of the Atlantic, that advices will be sent and replied to, between Liverpool and New York, in twenty days. The Baltic has made the shortest passage (not the greatest, as one of our cotempo- rarics has it) on record, having accomplizhed the voyage in pine days, thirteen hours, and Gfty miputes. This remarkable voyage, however, was mado under some adverse circumstances. The force of the engines was superior to the strength of the wheel floats, and fourteen of the latter were broken during the voyage, thus diminishing the speed of the noble chip. The weather, aleo, was not the most favorable. However, we have every reason to be catisfied with the splendid performance of @ Penronwances Ar- this American vessel, under the guidance of her | poor. experienced engineer, and her commender, Captain Comstock. The only regret we bave heard ex- preesed, is, concerning the sale of so splendida eteamer to the Cunard line. Scarcely had the mails been distributed, when it was generally | @msounced on ‘Change that Baltic had been Clvposed of to the British company. There wae much artonichment exprested at such unwelcome | nows; but the whole trath soon came out, when one of the brokers of Wall street iaqnired, “* What have they sold ber fur?’ “What for! why, to tow the Cnvard steamers from Liverpool to New York, to beware.” Tho broker retired to bis pri- vate office. Theo joke, by this time, may be pretty current, for the short passages of the grea: American stcam- ships are matiers of just pri Tho Atlantic Coean is great rece course on which many can @idates for the prize are continually ranning.

So far from a premium being realized oa them, the | prospect is that they cannot be disposed of except | at a discount. This arises from the doubts that | are entertained about the constitutionality of the bill. | Weare not at all surprised at this, for, notwith- | standing Judge Bronson, Daniel Webster, and other lawyers’ opinions to the contrary, many eminent men, in whose judgment equal confi- dence is reposed, as weil a8 @ great portion of the community, believe, conscientiously, that the bill was in violation of the spirit, ifmot of the very letter, of that part of the organic law of the State NEWS BY TELEGRAPH, WICHLY INTERESTING INTRLLIGENCE. man + Ranke e's pee reer CASUALTY AND LOSS OF LIFE: Rumored Fugitive Slave Case in Beton, DEFALCATIOS, | &e., &e., Ko.

It is no wonder that cepitelists are not inclined to touch scrip issucd or to be issued under suc circumstances. They very naturally suspect that all can’t be right in the mat ter, when they see such an unperalieled and ua | precedented course of procedure as was adopted to | force the bill through, without the formality of submitting it to the people for their sanction, as the constitution directs. If the bill had created a | dobs against tho State fairly and openly, and had | been submitted to the people of the State at large, i at the November clection, and been sanctioned, as | it undoubtedly would be, the scrip, instead of being shunned by capitaliste, would be taken with avidi- | ty, and probably ata premium. ‘There is not one in fifty of the voters of the State who ig not ia favor | of enlarging the Erie Canel—for every intelli- | gent person knows that increased capacity is neces sary to transport the increasing products of tho | country to tide-water, and, gonerally, to carry onthe commerce between the Atlantic and the | Great West, which is augmenting every day. Very little time would have been lost by the operation. | But no; the majority of the Legislature wanted to | make capital out of the measure, and they adopted a device by which their ecruples in regard to tho constitutionality of the measure were removed; and accordingly, they hurried it through the forms of | | legislation, before the adjournment, at railroad { | Speed. | Such are some of the fruits of the proceedings of { the last Legislature, than which a moro corrupt or | | imbecile body never prosided over the desti of | | this great State. [t is to be hoped the people will | bear this, and other of their disgraceful and reck- loss acts, in remembrance, at the next election. Gernit Sur Pisrrorm.—Frederick Doug- lass (black man), in his paper, published at Re- | chester, has in course of publication a long extract | from Gerrit Smith (white man), on the science of , civil government. In his Iast number he thus lays | down tho fundamental principles of his political platform, which we extract from Frederick Doug- : lass’s paper, witbout tbe accompanying verbiage of the argument. Mr. Smith says:— There are several points on which en extract may | perbaps, be desired of me Ist. Do 1 mean that government shall invariably and olutely forbid slave.y? Yes—es invariably ani ab- sclutely as it forbids murder. God no more creates men to be enslaved than tobe wurdered. And that does not deserve the name of civil goveroment, which permite its subjects to be wed. And he is a pirate lustead of a \ civil ruler who lays Lis band on men $0 enslave them. That is very distinct; bat it isjust such language ag wo should expect from a lunatic. 24. DoT mean that men have an equal right to the ? Yes, a& equal as to the light and the air, end go- | soil? verniment should, without delay. prescribe the mscimuam | | | | quantity of land whieh each family may porsess. In our | country, ae ite population is eo spatee, this quantity might go as bigh as # couple of houdred acres. Acon- | | tury henee, however, and the population may have in- creased so far as to make it the duty of goverument to reduce thie quantity to ahundred acres. Mr. Smith owns some 30,009 acres of land, more | orless. Why not follow up the procept with the | practice, by a division, reducing his own share to | | two hundred acres? | $d. Do T mean that a people may repudiate their na- tional debt? Edo. The debt of Great Sritain is an ave- rage Lurden on each of ber families of say one tl dollars. ‘That of Holland imposes a greater burden. | There debte are crurbing. The masses groan, and des- pair, end perish under them. Ali obligation to pay | (hem sbould be promptiy disavowed. This doctrine will, no doubt, be vastly amusing to the creditors of Mr. Smith, if he hae any. | 4th. Do T wean to be understood a condemning al! tariffe’ Ido. I would not have a Custom house on the | face of the earth. But what (f our nation should grow | rich with « tariil, and poor without it? Then let itgrow Whatever may be the eifret om ite wealth, every is to cultivate the frees, fullest, friemdllest inter- with every other nation. Doubtful whether Hugh Maxwell and his officials | will ever consur in such sentiments as these. 6th Do I mean that government shall have nothing to | Jowith rchools? I do. this country, nearly every } | person admits that goveroment should not have aaght to do with churches, Why, them, should it have aught to do with rehcols? Some show of reason in that; but, porhaps, tho | grand object of Mr. Smith would be better achioved | in abolishing all government, al! churches, and al, | schools, with an equa! division all round of all pro. perty, every Saturday night. Such is the gist of | the creed of Gerrit Smith and bis liberty pasty- | Such are sowe of the specimens of our modem re" | forme Crra.—We sre very much in want of authentic | advices from Cuba.

On the other band, should Lopez make « landing, the movement way lead to far | diferent respite. But to the exten: of our inform- ation, be has so chance of making an effective lodg- , ment; and no little chance of escape from tho Spanish cruisers.
