thrust it into the breast of the savage, and laid
him dead at his feet. but being new set upon by

tle the ollicers and tnen had fought with deter-
mined courage, but were overpowered by nutri-
bers. Lamayze. the pilot, on withdrawing by
sliding down the tackle in his retreat into their
canoe, and having given no assistance in the
fight, was considered by the natives as a neutral
and by them treated as such. After all that re-
mained alive of these wild murderers had got
again on shore, otit of reach and fear of the deck
guns. not ati individual of thcrii left it again dur-
ing the remainder of tbeday, and the night pass-
ed in peace. \Vlieu morning came, the ship was
seen still at anchor with her sails loosc, when
the interpreter was desired to go oil to her with
some natives in a large canoe, to which, it suit-
ing his mind, he readily conscnted. They pad-
dled olf cautiously around the ship, when Mr.
Lewis, appearing oti deck. called to them to
cotne on deck, making at the same time friendly
signs, that they had nothing to fear, and on pro-
ceeding alongsidc and meeting with no opposi-
tion, tliey very readily sprang on deck, wiiicli
was yet covered with heaps of goods and arti-
cles of trade exposetl the previous day. Mr.
Lewis directed the interpreter to say to the na-
tives. thtit they might take atid divide all the
goods on deck among themselves, only now be
at peace atitl friendly. This being tnade known.
numbers ofcaiioes came ell, bringing the natives
arid sqtiav-'5. in unus.'i;;l ritiiizbers. and thus
Crowding the sbip’s dcclts, and also hanging on
her sides around her. The clerk now invited the
interpreter into the cabin, where he saw Capt.
Thorn sitting on the after locker. with a lighted
match in liishaiid. He looked very pale, and
was near the magazine scuttle. by which, on the
cabin deck, was a large heap ofgunpowtler, atid
two oakutn ropes covered with the same, leading
from the heap into the magazine. Mr. Lewis
gave an explanation relative to what had passed
on the day before and during the night. and then
said to him. “You see the captain can’t live
long, and is going to blow up the ship with all
the barbarian murderers about her. and as 1 my-
self cannot long survive, I am going with him.”
He then told him if he wished to live. not to
speak a single word. but to take a roll of cloth
and bunch of beads, and immediately lower
hiriiselfout of the cabin window. and repair to
some canoe and promptly move oil‘, and not to
speak until he was in it, for ifhe did, that instant
he spoke, the ship should be blown up. He act-
ed accordingly, and swam to a canoe having in
it two squaws. Showing thetn the beads, they
very readily received him into their canoe, quick-
ly paddling her safe out from among the fleet.to
keep the prize which he had brought. On look-
ing back to the ship, he saw Mr. Lewis looking
out of the cabin window after liitn; and on his
drawing himself in and disappearing, immedi-
ately the ship blew tip with a terrible explosion,
destroying a great number ofsavages and herself
disappearing. He saw nothing more after this
of Capt. Thorn, nor Mr. Lewis, but thought it
best and riiost judicious to keep to himselfthe se-
cret given to him whileinthecabin. Thesquaws
iii the canoe which had received him, proved to
be the wives of a chief of some influence, who
had had the good fortune to have come out of this
bloody slaughtering affair onscatlied. and with
wliotn the beads and roll of blue cloth paved the
way, and obtained a peaceable home for him at
their resitleuce in the village. The bay now
showed on its surfacea horrid siglit,strewetl over
with yelling. wountled savages, floating parts of
the blown up ship. with shattered portions of
wrecked canoes. To these were added the
mourning. savage, wailing howls of the escaped
natives and wotiien of the village.
The four unliurt seamen had embarked in the
ehip‘s small boat, in the night, with the hope of
getting back in her to the settlement the ship had
previously made at the mouth ofColurnbia river,
but were forced on shore by the strong wind and
current, and the next day were discovered and
taken prisoners by the natives, and immediately
brought to the village,wl_.-ere the iuterpreterspolse
with tlietn, and learned their views and inten-
tions, on quitting the ship. To this step they
said thep were mnitily induced by the fear and?
expectation, that they iii the ship would be at-

Tun Town l)dEE'1‘ll\'GS.-- About one-halfof
the towns in this State elected their annual town
officers on the 1st instant. Until very recently,
These elections have not been contested on party
grounds. Last year, the Locos made a despe-
rate elfort to carry them. and the result was,
that in tnost of them they were desperately beat-
en. Sriiartitig under their defeat. and attribut-
ring their overthrow last spring, to the facttbat in
a majority of the towns the \Vliigs had “the
control of the Board for-the admission of Elect-
ors, and the Moderators of the meetings,” they
rallied at the call of Mr. Niles,'and again they
are rotited—horse, foot, and dragoons. \Vliile
the \Vliigs were congrattilatingthemselves upon
the result of these elections last fall—the Locos
were protesting against their being considered
any index of public sentiment, “ as they were
taken by surprise.” &c. &c. and the Register
said, “these elections are usually no more re-
garded than school district meetings.” As they
are now estopped from tnaking that plea, they
will now doubtless attempt to keeptheircourage
up. by flattering themselves that "this unfortu-
nate result will have acapital effect in bringing
out the democratic (tory) strength in full force
next spring.”
The result ofthe town elections as far as heard

Lorin DURHAM.-— T/tc Jlfccling in ll‘]077lI'C’Jl.
The Montreal papers of Tuesday bring the pro-
ceedings 0! the meeting held in that city on Mon-
day. in consequence of tlie intended resignation
of Lord Durham. The Montreal Courier says
it was " very nunierous, and in the liigliest de-
gree respectable; not exceeded on any former
occasion in those requisites which give weightio
the resolutions of a public assemblage of free-
men." Five resolutions were pt1SSP(l; the first
expressing the firm persuasion of the meeting.
that in the performace of the arduous duties of
hishigh oliice, Lord Durham has been actuated
by an earnest desire to accomplish the object of
his important mission; and their deep regret at
the proceedings of the imperial Parliament, and
at the feeble stipport given Lord Dtirbani by her
Majesty's ministers. The second laments his
Lords|iip’s tleterrriination to resign, at a moment
when conlideiit hopes were entertained that the
dillicultiesofthe province would be met by some
cotiiprclicusive aiitl successful measure. The
third “respectfully submits to his Excellency
the settled conviction of the meeting that the lei-
gislatite tinion ofthe Canadas, antl the esta‘olish-
merit of an cllicierit legislature therein, alliird
the only means of act:otnplisliiug ll)t"ll'-,pl)t.'lfi(:€t-

the empire. antl that any federation ofall the N.
American colonies would be inadirquate to the
attainment of these ends, antl would multiply
the present stibjects of discord.” The fourth tie-
clares that the meeting would consider the relin-
quishment of his high office by Lord Durham.

ty; and respectfully btit earnestly entrcats liiiri
to disregard the attempts rrtade in Britain to pre-

T/re progress of Fanalz'cz'sm.—A Convention
ofthe ultra religionists, compost-d of feminine
men and masculitie women, has recently been
held at Boston, for the purpose of forming what
they have detiorninated the “New England
Noii-Resistance Society.” It issaid that mem-
bers were present from five of the New England
States and from Pennsylvania., A committee
consisting of seven persons in pantaloons and
two in petticoats, was appointed to draft a Con-
‘3tllUll0lt and Declaration of sentiments—w}iich
was subsequently adopted by. the Convention.—-

these proceedings—-but, to keep our readers ap-

Liberator. The “ Declaration” opens with the
following avowal: “ We cannot acknowledge
allegiance to any human governtiient.” After
this, we are not surprised at the liberality of sen-
timent expressed in the following paragraph:
“ Our country is the world, our countrymen
are all tnarikind. We love the land of our na-
tivity, only as we love all otlierlands. The in-
ierests, rights. liberties of American citizens are
no iriore dear to us, than are those of the whole
hiinian rat-e.”
\Ve have room for only one more extract from
this “ Declaration :”
“As every hutnan government is upheld by
physical strength, and its laws are enforced vir-
tually at the poitit ofthe bayour.-t. we cannot hold

MARYLAND EI.Ec'1‘ION.
A WHIG LEGISLATURE SECURED.
The returns received front Maryland, though
unofficial and incomplete, render it almost cer-
tain that Grayson, the Loco~Foco candidate for
Governor, has succeedctl by about 300 tnajority.
The VVhigs however, have obtained a hand-
some majority in both bianches of the Legisla-
ture, and thus secured the election of in Whig
U. S. S nator.
Local feelings, and local interests are said to
have favored the election of Mr. Grayson—-in-
asmucli as it was thought, that he‘.-ipprovcd ti
certain sclicmeofinternal improvement, to which
it was reported Mr. Steele the \Vhig candidate
was opposed. Further particulars next whek.
PENNSYLVANIA ELECT!ON.—-Tlie clcctiori for
Inspectors, preparatory to the general election
in Pennsylvania, was held tlirougliout the state
on the 28th ult. The returns are not yet all in.
and the result is a matter of so Hillel) doubt that
both parties are claiming the victory. The N.
"Y. Herald says, very truly, that “from all the re-
turns that: have been publisiicd in a l the papers.
espousing either side, there cannot be the least
doubt that both sides tcillltrwc a lremcnrlous ma-
jo-r2'I_t/." The Whig press, however, consider
the result of this preliminary election, as f"-r as
is known, uiicxpcetetlly favorable to the Wl-ige.
The Courier &. Enquirer says :
“If. these elections are any indication of the
feelings of the people in relation to the general
electioii, Pe-pnsylvania is a tliorougb going Whig
State. There is scarcely ti town heard from,
where-the result does not show an lll|mt'flSt'.‘
Whig gain. The Pliilrtdelphiii. Gnz-.-tte says.
“ file consider the election ofMr. Ritncr as cer
llillll as any future event. can be.” So may it
be. The administratiotiliazve calculated with
the utmost. confidence upon this stat.-~, and
should tliey_tncet with the overthrow which up
pearances seetn to indicate, it will settle their
littc.” ‘
