FRIGTFUL DISASTER AT BUFFALO.
The city of Buffalo was visited on the
morning ofthe 19th by one of the most dread-
ful calaniities. A terrific gale of wind com-
menced about one o'clock in the morning
and in four hours. immense damage was
done to the city by the rise of the water in
the lake. which flooded all the low parts of
the city bordering on the Lake and drown-
ed a great number of the inhabitants. It is
impossible to say yet. how many; but the
correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune says he
has just seen with hisowo eyes. 25 dead bod-

Many buildings were thrown down by the
gale and ti considerable number of lives lost

at Colchester-—these men went down. saw
Mr. Catlin, but he did not deny the truth of

The n"--xt year a remarkable-. state ofthings
was present d in Tennessee. James K
Pol/r. chosen Governor in 1839 was a candi-
dme for re-o-lr-‘ction,-and beaten over 3000
_VOl.t‘S. A Whig legislature was at the same
time chosen : the House Whig by 39 to 36;
the Senate Loco by l3 to l2; \Vliig major-
ity in Joint Ballot. 2. There were two U.
S. Senators to be chosen at this Session; and
it was supposed that Messrs. Foster and Jar-
nagin (who were elected the last year) would
then be chosen. But .Jtlfl'tf'S K. Polk and
his followers had resolved that there should
be no choice unless they could SL‘CU|'8 one of
the St'l'lal0l'S. .
They had the control of one house, and
they determined to force the Whig rmjority
into a compromise. Tl'H‘-reupun they ad-
dressed letters of inquiry to every body
whom they chose to consider candidates for
the S-nate-—aslring their opinions on the Ta-
riff. Bank, Barilrriipt law, &.c. and a num-
ber of irrelevant or frivilous topics. The
design was to discover some point on which
a populnr\stand could be madeto defeat any
Election of Senators-—saying that. if at: l lec-
tion took place. Whigs would be chosen, and
they would vote for and probably carry such
or 5llCll0l)l]OXlOl1S measure. But the trick
was seen through at a glance and most of
the whigs addressed declined to answer the
insiditous queries, letting the questioners
know that they would be fully satisfied
whenever their votes were asked for. Here-
upon the lncofoco State Senators took their
stand. refused to go into Joint Ballot. and
when a Joint Ballot was at last carried they
refused to attend it, and left the legislature
without a quorum, (two thirds.) So no elec-
tion was liad; the State went nearly two
years unrepreseiited in the U. S. Senate; and
Gov. Polk and his party laid the blame all on
the Whigs, for refusing to answer the ques-
tions proposed to them! Gov. Polk denoun-
ced them in speeches and in print all over
Tennessee. In one of his printed Ad-Jressvs
he says,
Coi.uiuaiA, May 15th 1843.
"The chief, ifiiot the only value of the right of
siifftige consists in the fact, that it may be exercised
iinderstaudingly by the constituent body. It is so,
whether the iiniuedinte constituency consists of the
Legislature of the People. in their primary capacity
in the election oftheir executive orlegislative agents.
In either case the constituent has a right to know the
opinions of the candidate before he casts his vote.

highest public concern. in ft‘-‘_’1tl'd to which
Mr. Pollt's views are the subject of dispute

This occupied most of the afternoon. and when_

MUNICIPAL ELECTION IN BAL TI-
' MORE.
The Municipal Election was held in the city
of Baltimore on Monday the 20th and the result
confirms the charge made against the locus of
illegal voting at the recent State election. The
\Vliig vote for Mayor is two more than for Pratt
G-ivcriinr, while tlielocos have fallen off in their
vote 722. The irutli ofihe charge ofillegal vo-
ting hinting our opponents is established also by
the indictment and conviction ofsoine 50 locos,
some of whom voted in several Wards. Mary-
land will given handsome majority for Clay.
Every mail almost. gives us fiesh encourage»-
inent. Be active and vigiiani friends. and give
no credence to the confident bluster and‘. bold
falsehood ofihe locos. *
The Register-y Act.
Do not forget lu attend to the Regisiration of‘
votes. This is all important. It must nor be-
ncglecied anotherday, and we call on the whjgol
in every town. to seem it that the nnmeofevery'
Whig entitled to vote is atltletl lo the list. and‘-
