INTERESTING WASHINGTON. nee OVEMENTS OF THE MASSACHUSETTS POLITICIANS, AFFAIRS IN MEXICO. MARINE DISASTER3—DESTRUCTIVE FIRES, kk, ke, & ational Democratic Meeting at Syracuse. ‘ACK OF MR, COOLEY ON THE PRESIDENT AND ADMINISTRATION, Synacoss, Nov. 1, 1853, The national democrats have had a meeting here this ening. The principal speaker was Mr. J. E. Cooley, pminee for State Comptroller, whose address occupied me two hours in delivery. He spoke as follows:— Low Crrizkxs:—I thank you for this warm reception and these flattering manifestations of your kind regards. Since the commencement of the exciting canvass for pal oflicerr, now going on in this State, 1 have not open- wy lips publicly, either in con meadation of the reg- r democratic ticket, on whiv-h my humble name hap- Ins to appear;, nor in just disapproval of that nominated the burpburner cabal of Tainmany Hall. Not that re would be any impropriety in mounting the stunip, imitation of the high +xample. in favor of his own etion, of the present executive, Governor Seymour it however much I might say respecting the acknowl. fitueas for office, and the high accomplishments of e distinguished nominees with whom I have the honor be associated, I feel so much reluctance in seemi: n to be the advocate of any claims I may be sup have, thatI shonld not few venture to come before ixtelligent assemblage, but that I desire tosay a few rds about our internal improvemects ; and moreover, repel a wanton personal attack made by the President he United States, through his recognized organ, the hington Union, with a view to influence and control pelection in this State. remember passing over the site of your city more than ty years ago. Thenitwas mostly an uncomely and olate scone, covered with stumps and trees: with de- ed wood, and mud and malaria, Thenit had an insa- brious, ungenial aspect; and, in close proximity ti vast tracts of itive forests, stretching off maje: beyond the eye’s comprehension,and almost illimit- in extent. Then there was little attempt at culti- Hion in the immediate violatty of Syracuse, and only slightly built houses and shops scattered here and » mostly along the banka of the newly excavated al. Then there were no schoolhouses nor churches he place; and, I believe, only one sinall public house, that was situated on the north or left bank of the al. There were a few shops, groceries and porter pses, and some stables for canal horses; but I doubt ther stages began at that time to ran through Syra- le. The reads, only endurable in dry weather, were bassable during the rainy season, in late autumn and hy spring. In short, Syracuse had then but just ged out of the gloomy wilderness, the silence of ch had but recently been broken; and the for cleared away, in constructing the canal ch was then #0 nearly completed along the dle and eastern sectiens of it as to admit the passage oats down to the Hudson, Wheat a wonderful change been wrought here since my first visit to Syracuse! | has this great, populous, thriving town sprung up in the “‘wild woods of the west,” as this 3, pee was d leas than forty years ago!

A lively and lu- jive commerce crowds your streets and your extensive honses, and presses through your c ty, by way of the , down to the sea. Your streets are ample, well d, and everywhere compactly built up with dwell- ‘stores and workshops, proudly indicating an indus hs, enter} ‘and prosperous population. What is secret of tais wonderful he answer to this important inquiry, deeply important y patriotic citizen of this State, is, I doubt not, at moment, upon the lip of every intelligent man now the sound of*my voice. You will say, with one It, ecrmest, harmonious tone—with s sound that will the utmost verge of the State, in all directions, in con, and at all times—that your prosperity has and must continue to be, mainly attributable to the can . Cooley dilated at length on the immense advantages red by the State from the comstraction of the Erie 1, and reviewed with great acrimony the con- of the persons and factions who had op- d that project. These same men, he con- d, alluding to the leaders of the Albany Regency, peic party tools are now before you, asking for sudrages, that they may still cling to the patronage spoils of office, and that they may consummate their ed schemes of plunder and disruption of the Union. must decide this question for yourselves; it is a sove- h right with which no power on earth can interfere. ‘a question of vital consequence to every American n—to every father who hasa son and a,daughter—to mother who regards her offspring with = mother’s erness and love—to every child who hasa parent to | ‘and obey.

Entertaining the disorganizing sentiments they du, they bad sowe reason f r apprehension, for those of theic ilk “not then in the secret Ha the pcogramme of the President believed, with the democrats who had slays stood by the compromise measures and the con- stitution, that the sounding declaratior of General Pieree, as put forth in hia inaugural, really meant somo- thing. They thought at first, as did the true rf the President, that his political antec such es to entitle- him to belief as a man of truth and veracity. They had not the remotes: idea then that General Pierce intended so soon to repudiate, by his own suicidal acts, the principles he usd laid down in his inaugural. They never dreamed of such a foolish absurdity on the part of the President of the United States, for the reason that they were not then apprised of the President’s policy, which was not in any degr inaugural. With the exception of this f malcontents, who have subsequently been xo much warmed into executive favor, people gene- rally were eatisfied with the new President, and wished well to his administration. It appeared to be the settled opinion of conservative, well demeaned men of all politi sal parties, that the country hal made a fortunate escape from the mischievous designs of the opponents of General Pierce, whose candidate for the Presidency, though & highly honorable veteran soldier, who had fought glo- riously in the cause of freedom, was supposed to beso much under the coutrol and dictation oF certain whig freesoilers, as in case of hia election to endanger, by the policy his subtle advisers might induce him to adopt, the stability of the Union, and possibly upset the govern- ment. “How li tle did men of tuis opinion foresee that by the election of General Pierce this country was likely to fallinto the same difficulty which they fo assidiously endeavored to avoi! by the rejection of General Scott. When the famous inaugural came from Washington, a set of resolutions endorsing it were introduced into the Asrembly by Hon. Daniel & Taylor but the Speaker, being a rowdy, unscrupulons short soy, who had no re: gard for the sules of the House, and accustomed to rule with palpable injustice towards all the members whom he failed to corrupt and inveigle into his deceptive politi- cal meshes, interpored such obstacles to the efforts of Mr. Taylor that it was long time bofore he could get his inaugural endorsement resolutions up for consideration. When he at lust succeded, and brought the question of their adoption to a vote, the short-boy Speaker left the chair, with all his barr burner bullies, and fled from the House with as much precipitation as people living in trop- ical climates sometimes quit *heir dwellings at the sound of an earthquake! They would not vote upon them at all. ‘They regarded them as directly in conflict with their po- litical faith, the articles of which were to be found in the Buflalo platform; but ns part of them could they, at the time, discover in the inaugural of General Pierce. The resolutions of Mr. Taylor, endorsing the inaugural, were, nevertheless, passed in the Assembly by a handsome ma. jor'ty, many of the whigs voting in the affirmative, as well they might, for no save man could discover much that was objectionable in them, or the document they Fanctioned. The stampedera, however, thought they dis- Sovered “a negro in the fence,’’ so taey “cut stick and ran ‘The speaker then wert into some personal explana- tion in reference to paragraphs in the Albany speech of Jobo Van Buren, and continued—So much for John Van Buren, “Prince John,’ as he is sometimes derisively called’; much such a Kind of prince, I suppose, as is the ruler of the pit—‘the p-ince of devils,” the “prince of humbugs,” and the “prince of liars.” Ho is now, IT am told, peram bulating the State, boasting that he has got “Brona n’s head in @ basket !’’ reminding one forcibly of another profligate prostitute of ancient times who was seen with avery good man’s “head in a charger," which, to gratify base passion, had been severed by order of a drunken Governor of Judea, at a bacchanalian banquet given at the “White House,’’ or bestial mansion of that wicked prince, near Jerusalem, The parallel between the characters of both the possessors ef tae head of John the Baptist and Bronson the Collector, no less than of the two dissipated rulers, who, in their druntea cups, ordered the unoffonding victims to the block) is too manifestly striking not to impress upon the mind of every one the melancholy truth that “ when the wicked the ple mourn.’’ * Bronson’s head in ® basket!" says this itineraat pollute! speech filter of short-boy obscenity, as he swings his listless length from one barnburner ‘squad to another, jeering and scoffing at the stern virtues, patriotism, and the un- wavering political prineiples of the man, who, to appease the urgent demands of John and his meaa associates in political profligacy, was victimized and martyred by the uphallowed hands of treachery and imbecility! “ Bron- son’s head ia @ basket!’ And why has Bronson been betra: and the testable’ doalition, singled out of all the nominees of the President for the sscrifice—for the victim to give hilarity aud mirth to the reckless ban . of filibusteros, who now, and always have, enjoyed mar | ¢. General Pieree’s confidence than all the members of the national democratic party put togethsr ? What reason do the high functionaries at Washington, who are evidently giddy with the reins of power tempo. rarily placed in their hands by « confiding people, give for summarily « demanding the head of Bronson” for ejecting that highly accomplishec, pure minded. patriotic man, from the ofiice of Collector of the port of New York, snoftice which he nover sought, axd only consented to accept to oblige the President, and relieve him from an un- pleasant embarrassment; and which he has filled with so inuch satisfaction to the country, and so much honor to himself! Why was this done?’ What great political principle is to be favorably affected by it, or what iin fortant question of public policy isto be aulvancod by it? What is the secret of this high-handed outrage of Presi- dent Pierce, accompanied by the vituperative and shame- less missive of insult, vulgarity and coarseness, hurled from the office of the Secretary of tho Treasury at the unoffending hoad of the Colleator, as it fell into the Judas Incariot basket or bag of John Yan Buren, by command of a fifth-rate country court treacherous pettifogger of New Hampshire, who by accident imply happened to reach an exalted position only to disgrace it and cover hinuelf with Infamy? Why, again, tusk, was the head of the victim called for, and the slaughter demanded? It was simply because Judge Bronson kad the indepen?ent manliness to indicate to the unscrapulous cabal of Tan many Hall, who had insultingly, and with charasteristic eflrontery, undertaken to ure Ida great name as a decoy in furtherance of their intrigues against the democratic backed by the Governor and the S:ate eee men and witnesses,’’ for the purpose of overawing controlling the proceedings of the State Convention, | if bpeteo in order to effect that object, to assassi- | the peaceal He and respectable delegates sent here by Lnbiared and confiding people?

Mr. Cooley ere read the extracts alludued to referring to the Brenson difficulty, and continued—Hore is the proof, strong as Holy Writ, that the delirious occupant of the “White House,” and his initiated Cabinet at Washing- ton, have undertaken the ratner dificult task, I appr hend, of controlling the local elections of this State! Se- cretary Guthrie’s letter transmitting to Judge Bronson the notice of his removal indicates only the pretext for that injudicious avd unjastitiadle act, while the editor of the Union, in apologetically laying the whole subject before the public, letters aud ali, givers beyond every peradventure, the real motive which instigated the per petration of the deed. An, fellow-cltizens, whut a piti ful spectacle does this palfry meddling, on the part of the United States, with our local State politics, present for the contemplation of a great, intelligent, free and independent nation! Its President st sping down from the height of bis exalted station, and so far forgetting ¢! dignity of that position, no less than what ix due to his own character as an honorable man while jocespying it, as te mix up with the p ry State squabbles of the day aud attempt to control tie feuds which now unh agiiate and disturb the once harmonious ranks of the d mocracy of this commonwealth? How are the President and his Cabinet belittled and lo fered in the estimation of all honorable men, if anything now could have that effect, by such ba ho are undiynified, unmanly and plicable conduct? Everywhere, in and out of this State, throughout the whole length aud breadth of the land, except with the ehort boy bul.ics and slang-shot ia cendiaries, the eut-throaté, bandits and filidusteros of Tammany Hall, and their pressgang adherents, the unju tilable removal of Judge Bronson is condemned ay fagrant outrage on the spotless purity of that gentleman's cheracter, and a violation eA el trust, injurious to the interests of the Union, and an act of ingratitude and injustice revolting to the moral sense of every high- minded and honorable man. The President and his Cabinet, however, have taken upon themselves the re- sponsibility of the high-handed menrure of dictating to all the subordinate functionaries of the federal govern- mene the political affinities of men for whom they may or may not be allowed to cast their votes, and yet retain oflice under the administration of Gen. Pierce, who, #0 recently, in hiv stamp speech delivered from the steps of the capitol, pompously declared to tue American people, that— If the federal government will confine itself to the exercise ly granted by the constitution, 1; oan hardly sastion upon Any question sho anger ne of tbe States, ox interfote with their right to manag will of thoir own people. omeatters strictly domestic scoording to the Thie, however, like the reat of the sounding verbiage the institut itical falmination of the Presiden, was intend hia kubsequent condust has very clearly indicated, iy for parade and stage ellect—s sort of atar span: gled banner performance—just to amuse the multitude who had gathered around the (eneral on thst occasion, out of sheer curiosity, to see what kind of a lion at last got into the Presidency and taken possession of the White House, Should this bad measure of the present administration be successfully carried out by Ger iy Pierce and his free soil Len Be baneful, Loon effects, cannot fail to be painfully apparent to every flecting man who has given the slightest attention to mubject. A great centralized power, such as that evi- dently aim by the Cabinet at Washington, reach- ing out on every and penetrating the utmost verge and the most jaded corners of every part of the republic, through the po neg Ack ending Aependent agente, moulded and formed to anticipate, in their officl soclal relations with the the | extreme views cf the government, myst necessity break down all the advantages likely to result from the free suffrages of a people, and sap the foundations of civiland religious freedom. When such mon as Judge Bronson are proscribed by the President of the United States, and turned out of office with a sourrilous and re- bukeful mnissive hurled after them from a subordinate de- artment of the government, simply on acctiat of hay- 6 expressed a preference for one set of men over another to fill local offices, it is high time for those who have contributes to the elevation ef men capadle of such flagrant and glaring outrages to pause aad conteny plate the pernicious consequences that are likely to re- sult to our institutions and bur rights as citizens, look up for protection to a system of equitable laws, whicl should be administered in a spirit of justice and en- lightened patriotinm. This foolish and uojust act of General Pierce, without one palliating circumstance to redeem the perfidious motive that prompted itn rpetration, stamps the administration of the ersident with the black xeal of public reprobatioa, to which it will be henceforth glaringly | exposed. Let not a President of the United States, even though exalted be the station, become so gildy and de- Juded, as to suppore he may not be reached and exposed for flagrant acts of injustice towards those whom he has cheated and betrayed. Gexeral Pierce went into the Presideney on the popular sentiment pervading all classes of our people, contained in the compromise measures, which recemented the North and the South, and healed up the Iacerated wounds inflicted by rabid’ socesal ynis's and fanatic freosoilers, sealing with the indelitle impress of infamy’ those disorganizing, unprincipled dewperadoes whom, to the dikbonor and disturbance of the country, and to the lasting disgrace of the President, he has treacherously rafvec up from the tomb of politieal polu- tion, and taken to his bosom as his confidautial coun- sellors and advisers. Thrse, and their minions, every- where placed in poritions of power “throughout the land, revelling in official rewards, like poisonous acd deliterious extalations rising {coma sloagh of stagnant patrefaction and death, stroll through the country, from one end of it to the other, armed with slung-shot, bowieknives, orick- Vats and bludgeons, attempt to overawe and ¢ ntrol she olitieal conventions of the people, and infamixe tho cox munity, and bricg down the morals of our citizens to the low dead level of profunity and drunkenness requi site now in Washington to conform to the fishton- wble standard in vogue at the White House. Had General Pierce sustained himse'f and his own ad- ministration; and had he adeainistered the governmout in accordance with his inaugural,"ho would not now have te complain, that those who contributed to the extent of their ability—as I claim to nave done, mysel’—to place him in the high position which he so impertectly adorns, have assumed an attitude of epen hostility to his administration. His administration then, would have sustained itself, as General Jackson's did; and millions of intelligent American citizens, who now look upon him and bis administration with loathing and contempt, would have rallied around his standard and sustained him gloriously throug every emergency, and rejoiced at his success. But, afver his manifested treachery towards the patiopal democracy throughout the Union, and his Rersistont, though futile, aitempts to abolitidnize the lemocratio party, and conform sts action to the principles aid down in the sufale platform; while professing, himself, to stand on that of Baltimore, which his’ free soil’ friends and short-boy “witnessex”? have spit upon, both General Pierce and his ad- ministration are likely to go down to posterity under the just contempt and seorn of all who en- tertain a decent regard for common honesty and fuir dealing. Whigs were always opposed to free soil filli- basteroos and barnburner bullies; and so were the national democrats; hence it is that General Pierce having sold out, caved’ in and turned free soiler, now of necossity, owing to hia change of principles and position, finds both whigs and democrats in direct antagonisin and in open hostility to the new political attitude and character he has unfortunately assumed. However unpleasant this new attitude of hostility to the democracy, which General Pierce has assumed towards it, since his’ election to the Presidency, may be to his feelings, the seductive height of his position will haidly afford sufficient attraction to carry the national democratic party over to hiu and hiss freq soil friends; therefore, should he desire to change the posture of affairs, so as to bring his administration out of & hostile attitude towards thoee who are now, and always have been, in full communton with the national demo. cracy, his ‘course is perfectly clear before him; he hi only to come out from the free soil party, and penitent]; return to that from which he has deserted, ema proved himself recreant to its time honored ’ priaciples, by embracing those of political infidels ani bowie knife assassins. There has been no de- sertion, oa the part of the national democracy, theless, contend, singlo handed if nved be, undis- mmyed and unconquered, so God shall give us breath to continue the confist. We, national de- moerats of the North, do not, we canzot, we will not be- lieve that the chivairic and noble-hearted men of the South, the nations! democrats of the genial South, with whom end us, hitherto, there has existed so mach rym- pathy avi‘so much cordiality of co operation, will now turn with coldness snd indifferenes to 0 when a delizious and misguided executive goverr ment threatens to lay his treacherour hands on our dearest rights, an@ bring the whole forte of his power and petronage to crush us beneath bis bestia? tread. They, the generovx, intelligent, and patriotic men of the South will not fail to appreciata the justice of our cause ard the fearlors boldness with which we have, thus fur, felled the murderous assaults of the com- mop foe. God fails not to help and provide means of re- sistance for honest men atruggng in a righteous cause, and who endeavor to help theraselves. Confiding im the purity of our purposes, in the patriotism, intelligence; and determined will of our fellow-citizens to resist to the- last the unhallowed aggressions of tyranny, let them come from whatever quarter they may, and appealing to the whois world for the justice of our cause, we “will never surrender!”” From Washingtor City.

At a meeting of the Democratic and Free Soil Conven tions of Middlesex county, held at Concerd yesterday, a coalition was formed, each party nominating three Sena- tors to be supported by both. A resolution was parsed declaring that insubordination and dictation, on the part of a public officer, to the head of the nation, is tre:soa to demoeracy, aud tbat the course of the President in re- of the priaciples on which General Pierce declared his administration to be founded, on taking charge of the government, The only deserter in the camp is the Geno ral himself, who, instead of being the honored and ac- knowledzed leader of a great, patriotic and powerful party, is now only the nominal bead of a cabal—a sort of Punch and Judy couductor of free soil performances, with a wire in his back, by which he is twitche1 bock- wards aud forwards, and made to kick up hie heels here and dance there, to just such kind of music as the organ. grinders of his cabinet taken fancy to sing in hia deluced ears. It is at any time a dangerous experiment to dosert friends and undertake to buy one’s evewies; but at General Pierce's time of life, with fixed sosial habits so objectionable and pernicious as his, it caunot prove otherwise than every way disastrous and fatal to hin, This calamity to General Picroe and his adsrinistration war early foreseen to be the inevitable resul: of his in wane conduct, and he was abundantly admonishe! of bis danger; but he has chosen of his own free will and voli- tion to take live coals into his borom and handle pirch, and he must expect to get burned and soiled by the ex” peariinent. While the true friends of General Pisree look. with sorrow on his downward course and present, position, ‘they have for themselves, their families, and their coua- sry, high rnsponsibilities and important duties lo por. form, which preclude the possibilty of their indulging tho slightest aympathy with his reprehensible conduct, or with that of the free soil companions he has chosen to accompany him along his inglorious Prosideatial carver, If, in oecasional lucid moments, should such happen to occur, General Pierce returns to the lofty summit of his coun:ty’s regard, which by his stupendous treachery he baa so justly forfeited, and looks down Into.the lower deep of degradation and ccntempt to which he has foolishly descended, vo one will envy him the wretchednoss of tho contemplation; and, in commiseration of his mis might almost fn mercy pray for the return of his rium to deliver him frow the horrors of a con smitten conviction of the pernicious evils his madness is likely to inflict upon the institutions of the Uuion, What a monstrous doctrine doer General Pierce attempt to imeulcate, and how directly calsulated ii to subvert inalienable rights; and inj: affect domestic interests and high social relnti of independont and sovereign States: so when he assumes 2 control over the suflrages of American citizens, ‘ons to suit the complex m! Wehave here, in this , great questions of public policy, connected with our internal improvements and other important subjects, with which General Pierce cannot be otherwise than im- perfectly acquainted, and which are to be seriously affect ed, for weal or woe, by the result of the approaching elec. tion. If the ticket prevails for which he has so signifi- cantly expressed his preference, crer that upon which he hhas been pleased to pronounce the tiat of executive con- demnatioa, the conservative national democracy of New York have abundant and most manifest reasons to be- lieve that those great interests will be completely aban- Goned and sacrificed to the cupidity and plaudering pro- pensities of the adjuncts of the Tammany Hall cal whom General Pierce bas unwisely lent the great patron age of his high offise, to erect into a supremacy of au thority in tho Empire State. The free people of New York will never concede the right to @ President of the United States, nor to any other functionary of the general government, however high may be his official position or exalted his abilities, to interfere thus auda- ciously, as hes been attempted on the part of General Pierce and his Cabinet, with the local elections and other uestions strictly of » domestic character in this State, This daring effrontery on the part of the President and the men of moderate ability whom he hes called into his Cabinet, much to the regret of ali classes of American citizens, and, as is believed, much to the de t of the ublic interests, with the domest State, while it manifestly meets the of al! good ci ti so far as expression hae been given to the all pe sentiment, is here, where the mischief iy cal work the most effectual canker and poison to rests dear to every conservative national man stampod with defiant dt of the North, after febting gloriously under the leat of the gallant and intrepid Dickinson, the great battle o( the constitutional compromises, on wl bility of the Union, the South and their in order to mould our State el toa of his cabinet at Washing’ i isapproval everywhere throughout the county of the in favs will not now suy sit down and heade ignominiously to the block, when our very hearthston and households are assailed, how- ever potent may be the gressive force with which we may be called to contend, or however far the mien of the South may come short of the high standard of rupport we feel that we had reason toexpest.

TEN MILE RACE FOR $10,000: UNPARALLELED SPEED AND BOTIOM OF THE WINNING HORSE. A ten mile race for $10,000, betwoon ch. g. Prince, (trotter) and g. g. Hero, (pacer) came off yesterday afternoon, at the Centreville Course, and was witnessed by from six to eight thousand spectators in and outside of the track. The day was fine, the atmosphere clear, cool, and bracing—the track in most excellent order— and, in fact, everything was in favor of the horses, for speed. They both appeared in superb condition, and capable of going the ten miles with ease. Hero was the fovorite, and one hundied to eighty and a hundred to seventy-five were staked on him in very large sus; pro- bsbly to the amount of forty or fifty thousand dollars, The horses went in harness, carrying 165 1bs., the trot- ter being driven by Hiram Woodruff, and the pacer was handled by George Spicer. At the time appointed to start (21; P. M.,) the horses made their appearance on the track, and were soon after called up by tho judges forthe race. They were started at six minutes before three o'clock, the pacer having the pole, and leading round the first turn, On the back- ftretch he waited for the trotter, aad let him take sides with him, it boing apparent at this early stage that Spicer did not intend to go any faster than the trotter Would make him, at the same time keeping the trotter on the outside 2k the way round, thereby making him gon greater distance in the race. Thay ley side ant side until they reached the Iswer turn, when the trotter fell in behind Hero, and waited until he reached straight work on the homestretch, where he drew out, and the horsea came to the score with the hubs of their wheels as close togeth or as it was possible to get them without touching. The first mile was done in 2:44. Leaving the stand on the second mile, the trotter struck his quarter and broke up, losing # length or soy but trotted the faster afier he recovered, and was yoked again with the pacer at the quarter pole, The pace of beth horses now became accelerated, and it was evident that Hiram intended to force his adversary toja break? own, believinz.that his horse would prove the longest liver. Spicer kept the pacer in hand, and would not go any faster thaa he was absolutely compelled to. The trotter again fall in behind on the lower turn, aud again madea brusts up the homostretch, coming to the score head to head. The time of this mile was 2:36. On the thisd mile, Woodruff! put on more steam round the turn, which compelled the pacer to add a little more pressure to his boiler; and away they dashed round the upper turn. and down the backstretch at a killing pace, Biram, instead of dropping back on the lower tura, as he had previously done, kept his horse up at the top of his levery effort to take the lead. Tbe pacer still had alittle left, whenever he was called on, and they camo up to the stand yoked, Hiram: exclaiming as he passed there, “I’ve got him, sure!” The time was 2:33 "a ‘The gray was opened as he left the score on the fourth mile, and le drew away from the trotter « few lengths on the upper turn; but there was no let up for him. The totter was even with him again at the quarter pole, and without falling eff in the slightest, forced him onward. On the lower turn the pacer again dashed away from the other; but he was collared again before he reached the homestretch, and an excite { struggle onsued to the seore, the two passing there side and side, making the mile in 2:59, Both naga now began to show the eflects of the speed at which they had been going; but as it was a ‘do or die ‘affair with the trotter, he kept up his speed, and, in imi- tation of the engineers on board the steamers on the Western rivers, when racing, Hizam had fastened down the safety valve, determined to beat or burst. This was the fifth mile, and instead of falling off, the horses went the faster. They hung together stde and side all the way round, and crossed the score in 2:37, with as much appa- rent rigor as previourly. On the sixth mile the trotter became the favorite. Any amount was offered on him, without takers. He took the pole on the upper turn, in spite of Spicer’s efforts to force the pacer onward, and the latter began to show symptoms of distrees, He struggled on; but the trotter opened the gap at every stride. dt was now evident the affair was near aclove. At the hal! mile pole the trotter was fifty yards in front, without the slightest abatement to his speed; but on the lower tnrn Hiram let him up, and took it more moderately up the homestretch, crossing the score in 2:40, having performed the six miles in 16:554,— an average of Jess than 240 during the six miler. When the pacer reached the score, it was evident that he had given it up, and he was stopped at the upper draw gate. A wore exciting race, as long as it lasted, was never seen. The trotter was then stopped to a very slow gait, as it was unnecessary to drive him up to bis speed any longer, and he was walked and jogged for the next three miles, keeping as fresh as possible for the last mile, his owner having 2 wager of $500 that he would perform the tenth mile in lere than three minutes The time of the seventh mile was §:0855, the oighth 6:16, and the ninth 6:19; bat he waa let out on eorsing to the score, and rtarted to de- cide the wager dashirg off at an astonishing rate of speed, which he kept up throughout the mile, the distance in two minutes and thirty-nine seconds—the greatest feat ever known.

Merrit, [Mr.’ Merrit bas not eppeaned di the trial. } THIRTEENTH DAY. At the sitting of the Court Mr. Wheaton proceeded to sum up op the part of the defendan‘s. He commenced by saying that this was, as it had been stated by the pro secution, & case of the greatest ixaportance, both to the public and (ue partion charged. hey had before thear men of Fesprotability, who never then had boom chargeé with any offeues, and who, up tothe time of the destruction of thir boet, had held high position im society, and pomessed the conddence of the public im their respective occupations. He submitted that there was not a semblance of crime st them in the evi- dence adduced. It'wasa case in ch public feeling wae’ of the almost un ratleled destruction of life.” If Was well tit th indiot ment had been found, though he was at a 16s to know ow it was found; ond if there was no more’ evidences: kgninst the defendazts’ before the Grand Jury tham there was here, he should like to know how they came to the conslusion that therowss a prima facia cave against thezy. But they all kaew: how these investigations are wade by thé grand jury, without the defendants~having an oppertunity of cross-ezamining the witnesses, Mr. Wheaton referred to the statute on which the indictment was foved—the 12th section of the act of Congress—and would then ask what waa tho testimony necessary to com vict the defendants. Let them look to what would pro- bably be » fair interpretation ofthe act. The first fact to be found is that the persons charged were employed om board the Yoat; that they had come employment on board that boat; that they had some duty to perform. The next question was, what was the distinctive duty of each’ on board that Boat? Then, by whose negligence, misson~ duct or inattention to the respective duties, did ‘the acei- dent occur? The jury have drat to fiud that the parties charged were employed on board the boat; then, that by their negligence, inattention, or misconduct, the destruc- tion of thoxs lives took place Having found that they were employed, the jury would then look for the next question. ‘Arethey satisfied that the defendants were guilty of miscondnet, negligence, or inattention te their particular duties? ‘The jury must look to the act of misconduct, negligence or inattention that has been done, and they would ask themselves which act they can deine as an actof misconduct, &c. What has been done which ought not to have been done? what has been omitted which duty imposed upon them to dot He (Wheaton) asked the prosecution, with great confl- dence, to point to one act of commission of the seer.’ What omission was he guilty ef? Was not boat managed most skilfully from the time the fire was discovered until the boat struck the shore? What hag he done or omitted to do which a skilful man would not have done or omitted to do? If the Diatriot Attorney cannot point out to the jury so plainly that the way! man, though a fool, eould not err; if he does Aov out so plainly that ‘the human eyé cannot be deceit then those men are not to be presumed to be guilty, he asked for an acquittal. As to the clerk, what cul; bility has he been guilty of? what had he to do with destruction of human life on board that vessel, itwrer | tickets at the Cuptain’s office? What did the pilot Suppore they found the act of raciag, could they fiad amy connection“ with that and the firing of Henry Clay? That the catastrophe was awful, his clients did not attempt to disprove; that se human lives, short of a hundred, were cut off—the wife from her husband, the child from its mother's breast—and many others, went down in the presence of their friends. was no wonder, then, that the public excitement and the public indignation should ba raised against those officers atthe time. The pnblic mind did not stop to inquire sf theee men ware guilty os not; but the cry wes, “baste them, punish them—let them’be punished.” 4 viotim i demanded; some one is guilly; it must be the officers. “Tet life be paid back with life.” But the law was not vindictive; it punishes not the innocent that life may be rotected. The jury might send these men to Prisons ey night confine then in thelr solitary coll, bus will not bring back a single life that has been lost. The guilty must be punished, that navigators be shows that they must take caro of the precious purthens that are eommitted to their chai bat if pe ae the innocent as well fe guilty, it not have the effect of making them more careful, It is by punishing the guilty and by saving the innocem® that example is set. Connsel contended that there wa no direct evidence of culpable negligence. Suppose the jury found that there was a trial of 8] |, and that the fire oesurred by radiation, they must first fiad that there was racing. [Referred 10 1st Starkie, p. 478 and p. SOT. While there is a doubt of the fact of the racing, would be right for them to drav an inference from it? [Re= ferrec to p. 410 of the eame authority.) Mr. Wheaten, im speaking of the testimony of the witnesses for the prose- cutten, alluded to their natural excitement, One had lost a wife, arother « wife an’ children, Such was the excitement, that had this occurred in a State where the law is Ines reepested than here, the officers might have been found hung on the nearest tree; but fortunately, im the northern section of the country the people know Justice wili ba done, and that thongh it is dew in its movement, it’is sure to punish the t Mr. Wheaton, in referring to Mr, Ridder’s test mony, said that at the Astor House indignation meeting was making a speech to an excited assembly, but here he war under oath. The learned counsel in conclusion made an eloquent appeal to tho jury. He begged them to asi themselves “has there been @ culpable omission on the purt of either of thoxe defendar If there has, can we say, clearly and distinctly, that that act which we have. marked down as culpsbla wea the cause of the destrae- tion of this vessel, and consequently the cause of the de struction of human li Ponder, gentlemen, upom there things, if yeu bave doubts; but if you have me. doubt, lot me ask you, in favor of those men, whom, ié* Zoubsew, ‘ou would ‘delight to honor—whom the very indnesa of your hearts would prompt to favor—to say te them promptly, in that pure and energetic language Sone of a few worde—* In our opinion you are a06 guilty.” Mr. Jordan then followe3, on the part of Mr. —. and said, that if he had the power of taking the vote the jury 'as to whether they. would hear any more.on the part of the defence, he should feel very well satisied in his own mind that any remarks which he was about te make would be excluded. Jt appeared to him that suoia was the nature of the case, and such the demonstration of the innocence of all the parties concerned in this im dietment, that he would deem it unnecessary to spen@® time in any further discussion. He did not expect, for reasons personal to himself, and therefore ui ra mention, to tske part in this discussion; but feeling» little more like a man to-day than he had for some days ast, he wouli endeavor to show the jury, beyond ald doubt, that Mr. Collyer, the only person with whose de- fence he was particularly charged, is entirely beyond the pale and scope of this indictment, and that to panishhisa under this act of Congress, is out of the question; am@ if he referred to it, it would he generally, the able and a te address which had been’ just made to the jury by his colleague. His (Mr. Jordan’s) duty was more particularly to perform a dissecting process upon some of the testimony. He intended to show that all the witness- ea who had swore to facts relative to Mr. Collyer, have se exhibited themselves as to entitle them to no credit or consileration—not that he designed to charge them witha an intention of suppressing the truth; but that they were £0 excited they were unable to discriminate as to the facts they have sworn to. It is one of the noblest efferta of the human mind to endsavor to raise itself above judice and error, to arrive at the trath, because trath is ‘always the foundation of justice, and falsehood and fiction the basis of every error. Our courts of justice are for the purpose of srriving at truth; they were formed for that purpose, and it was a framework which was wisely and justly made. In the community every man’s facts are ‘colored by his projudisee, but when we come into « court. of justice, where the judge holds the balance in equi; it is different. It is that which distinguishes courte justice from mobs—it is that which distinguishes courts of justice from indignation meetings. Not that he im- tended to censure the people who met there; it was the only vent they had to let off their ye eee and it was a relief to them which he had no dis; to blame. Dut bere, according te the legal evidence, the jury are to investigate the truth, and come to the concla= sion that they must punish the guilty, but free the inne cent. Mr. Jordan then proceeded to examine the quea- tion, first, whethor Mr. Collyer wax implicated, evem admitting all the rest were guilty; and he would demom- strate to the jury that Mr. Collyer was not guilty, = oy that notwithetanding what hed been shown ability and earnestness of the ee prosecut that all the defendants are equally innocent Mr, Collyer.
