they chanced to 'be connected with vaeht

Has the Eepublipan party become so hard'

Mrs. ¥iBmore was,, an amiable, virtuous,

high-minded Protes tant woman, not one of

the base crew; who: would insinuate aught

against ber memory dare deny. She sful-

filled every duty,whicn her portion as a

woman, a wife, and a mother caused her

to fulfill, and she has. gone to her. eternal

rest, -and no MAN can have the heart to do

aught that will interrupt its peace*

Miss Fillmore was an amiable, accont-

.pUsheqY^rotestant young' l a ^ A o f t A e

dignity and, nobility, of soul and life ; and

had the indeperldenoe, which, is a credit to

her, and should be an example to the listless,

indolent young la'diesof the day, to teach a

school six months, while her father was

tiie acting Chief. Magistrate of the Union.

She was educated in the Normal School,

and prepared herself for a teacher. To

learn the Italian language, it was necessa­

ry that she should attend the school a t

Buffalo, under the direction ot the Ladies

of the Sacred Heart . " That lie placed

his dnughter in t he charge of Jesuits to be

educated," as asserted by the Sentinel, is

false, hnd what is more, the Editor knew

well that it,wa8 so. Miss Fillmore, loved,

honored and respected by all who had the

pleasur% of her acquaintance—th§ idol of

her father—was called, in all the pride of

youth and happy hopes, to join her mo­

ther in that world where all is peace—

crushing to the (earth, with grief, her fa­

ther's heart, and we pity the thing that

would open the wounds afresh.

If the Editor of the Sentinel attempted

to do something>,.worthy when he talked of

Mr. Fillmore's visit to France, and of

kissing the Pope's toe, we can assure him

that the public think it as flat as. dishr

water. When nr?stronger,arguments can,

be brought against Mr. Fillmore, than4he

attempt td bring -ridicule upon; Kin after

the boyish maimer of this week's Seiitihel,

we imagine that there is no fear of the

people failing to sustain hinjj, Mr. Fill­

more is an American and ai Protestant—.

the Editor of the Sentinel knows him to be

so, and we hope that, whatever h e may

say of our candidate and his supporters, he

will l^t the wife and the daughter rest un

disturbed in that refuge where death has

laid them.

i H e was elected to Congress ifl the fall of 1832. The sessions of 1833- '34 will long be remembered as the one in which' that system ot politics, known under the comprehensive name ol Jacksonian, wais-fully developed. I t was m the stormy fids'' sion of i833- '34 , immediately succeeding the removal of the deposits, that !Mr. Fill­more took his sea l In. those'daya the business of the house and debates were led by old and experienced members—new ones, Unless they enjoyed a wide spread &pd almost national reputation, rarely ta^ king an active and conspicuous part.*— 'Little chance was, therefore, afforded Mill-la'rd Fillmore, a member of the opposition,

" young and unassuming, of displaying those 1 qualities that so eminently fit him for leg­islative usefulness. A s he'has ever done in all the stations he has filled, he dis-' cbarged bis'duty with scrupulous fidelity, never omitting on all proper occasions any effort to advance the interests of his con­stituents and the country, and winning the respecfand confidence of all.

A t the close of his term of service, he resumed the practice of his profession, which Tie pursued with distinguished repu tation and success, until, yielding to the public voice, he consented to become.a candidate and was re-elected to Congress in the fell of 1835. In this Congress Mr. Fillmore took a more active part than he did during his first term ; and on the as­sembling of the next Congress, to which he was re-elected by a largely increased majority, h e was assigned a prominent place on what, next to that on ways and means, it was justly anticipated would be­come the most important committee of the House—that on elections. I t was in this Congress that the famous contested New Jersey case came up. I t would swell this brief biographical sketch to too great a length to enter upon the details of' that case, and it is the less necessary to do so, inasmuch the circumstances of the gross outrage (hen perpetrated* by a party call­ing itself Republican, and claiming to re­spect State rights, must yet dwell in the recollection of every reader.

The prominent part which Mr. Fillmore took in. thaj; case, his patient investigation of nil its complicated, minute details, the clear, convincing manner in which he set forth the facts, the lofty and indignant eloquence with which he denounced the meditated wrongj alf strongly directed public attention to him as one of the ablest men of that Congress, distinguished as it vjji8 by the eminent ability and statesman ship of many of its members. Public in­dignation was awakened by the-enormity of the Outrage, and in that long catalogue of abuses and wrongs which roused a long suffering, people'to'action,' and, resulted in the signal overthrow of a corrupt and in­solent dytiast^'in 1840, the New Jersey case stood marked conspicuous.

Yet feelhjg that'the State had a right to command his services, he cheerfully sub­mitted to its exactions, and on the first;' of January removed to Albany, where he continued to reside, displaying in the per­formance of the duiies of his arduous and responsible office, the'high ability and thorough attention which have always characterized the discharge of all hi3 public trusts.

In the month of May, 1847, the Whig National Convention, which assembled at Philadelphia, unanimously nominated Mr. Fillmore as their candidate for VliSe Pres­ident of the United States, in connection with Gen. Zachary Taylor, who had been selected as their candidate for President. Of the result that' followed this nomine-J tion, I'shall not speak, as it would be ule-less to trespass further upon 'your^ time ,in describing an event wilh which you,njrel so well acquainted.

It was at that very time when sectional strife began to raise its arm against the law of the land, and threaten the Union of the States, that Millard Fillmore was called to preside over the destinies of the nation, to occupy the chair now made va­cant by the death of the lamented Taylor. It seemed as though Providence had se lected from among the many patriot sons and Unjon-loving.

or disputej—as basing his Romanism on a solemn sacrament of the Romish Church.)

j g r H e goes to a Roman Catholic Church • in "Washington, crosses himself with so-

called holy water at the door, and makes the sign of the cross, when he goes into his pew. (The testimony of Alderman Fulmer—

to be affirmed on oath, if Fremont denies.) &TU.

JElTHe declares, at a dinner table at Brpwn's Hotel in "Washington, his full belief in the Roman Catholic doctrine of Transubstantiation. (Substantiated by the same authority.

Byt¥AtpK Ju ly 18.—-"We have ' the fol­lowing additional particulars of the burn­ing of the Northern Indiana : Thefire orig­inated in the wood-work airound one of the chimneys, and spread very rapidly.— The vessel burnt to the water's edge in 50 minutes. Mr. Wetmore, the first mate, commanding in the absence of CapL Pheat, exerted himself to the utmost to save the passenger?, and was the last man to leave the burning vessel. H e stood at his post, throwing doors, life-preservers; stools, &c, to tbe passengers, who, wild with excite

,*oent, We're leaping overboard in masses, i T h e weather was pleasant," and a dead j , calm prevailed, and^Mr. "Wetmore says $. cbulH heTiave controfb'd the recklessness of the passengers in jumping overboard, not one of them would have been lost.

During the excitement, some of the fire­men and deck hands launched a small

%oat, into which several of them jumped,' bnt it was drawn under the wheels of the steamer, and they were lost.

The steamer was towed in shore by the propeller Republic, and now lies in Pigeon Bay, above Point au Pelee, in ten feet of water. Her hull is said to be uninjured, and with favorable weather she can be towed into port.

W i t h regard to the number lost, the re­ports are contradicting; and a correct estimate cannot be made, as the trip sheets were destroyed.

Mr. Marsh, the clerk oi the vessel, ar­rived at Cleveland this morning. H e says that not less than 50 have been lost. The propeller Republic, supposed to have saved a uutnber of passengers, arrived at Detroit this morning, with several of the crew, but with only two of the passengers.

W e have uo names of the persons known or supposed to be lost.

DETROIT, Ju ly 18.—The number of passengers saved from the Northern Indi­ana, brought up by the Mississippi, is 142. The following persons are known to be lost: Newell Turner" and A . ' Gray, of Rome, Maine ; Michael Burke and Tho's Farie, firemen, Buffalo ; Mrs. Eliza Blan-chard, Augusta, Me. ; Henry Nims and child, Tully, N. Y. ; Augustine Fortwalle, Buffalo ; George Lawsou, Brockport, N. Y . ; Mrs. Mary Ladayard, England ; Mrs. Mar}- Ackayds, her father, mother, hus­band and two children, England; G. Smith, Buffalo ; Eugene Cary and child, Green-burg. Wis . ; Miss Jennings, Waverly, 111.; HezakiahThomas, Buffalo; Nicholas Com merford, Rochester; a lady and a child of Louisville; three coal heavers, a deck hand and a child.

I t is feared that more than these have bedn lost. The Captain of the Republic thinks none were saved, except those of his own vessel and the Mississippi.

Our citizens held a meeting last night, and raised $800 for the sufferers, and sev eral more hundreds were raised for them to-day. Every attention is paid to them. Free railroad and steamboat passes .are furnished them, and the hotel and telegraph lines are also free to them.

The investigation of the accident was not commenced this evening by the Coro­ner of this city, as the calamity occurred beyond the bounds of the city, having ta­ken place in Montgomery couuty, and most of the bodies were removed to this, city be­fore the Coroner of that county had seen

[From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]

-Vbout 9 o'clock, on the morning of the tli, the appalling intelligence reached a city that a collision had taken place on e North Pennsylvania Railroad, between

tlje TegulaT morning train from Gwynedd aiid an excursion train that left the city at 5 o'clock, this morning, with a large party of school children, with their teachers, & c

The particulars, so far as we have been able to glean them from reliable sources, are as follows:

A t five o'clock this morning a special train of ten cars left the Master street de­pot with the schools of St. Michael's Ro­man Catholic Church in Kensington. The excursion partyjsmsisted of between five and six bundled persons, the great major­ity of whom were children. They inten­ded proceeding to Fort Washington, four­teen and a half miles from the city, where they were to enjoy a pic-nic.

Owing to the number of cars, and the weight of the train, there was some delay, and the conductor, Mr. Alfred F . Hoppel, finding himself behind time, pushed for­ward with great rapidity when towards the end of his trip.

The regular passenger train for the city left Gwynedd at 6 o'clock, and .reached Camp Hill at 6 o'clock 18 minutes. Find­ing the excursion train had not yet arrived, Mr. "Wm. Vanstavoren, the conductor, de­termined not to wait for it, and his train was inoving* along when the expected train came ^thundering on around a curve, at

j.'the rate of 35 miles an hour. A collision of Course ensued with the most appalling consequences.

The down train escaped without serious damage, but the scene presented by tbe excursion -train was fearful' The three forward cars were crashed completely to pieces, and the wrecks m&glingwith that of the lodojootive^tebfeiffre, and the flames communicated to the other cars of the train. The two next'ears after the three that were wrecked took fire, and Tvere en­tirely consumed. '"U "• v . .

The inmates of jfche tbtee forward cars were completely mixed up with thesaeck, andajatge,number,of them.iysre killed outright There were probacy fift* per­sons in each of &e.ihree3ca.'% and tjae$s*w» est estimate we beard", fixes the number
