by these niodern admirers of thrones and dia dems, This is what might havo besn expect ed from thoso who for years havo been wcdded to Executivo dictation, and who havc raeanly endeavored lo shield themselves from thc exe cration oftrue hearted republicans, by cryins out old federrlism, against thelr opponcnts. Evcry cxcrciso of arbitrary power, even in a whig, fil's "e'r hearts with extacics of joy. They denounce the old federalists who framed thc Constitution, as monarchists, ond in the same breath laud to the skics tho cxercise of the only kingly prerogative to be found in that instrumont.

Even now, their plaudits are mingled with exccrations against Preiident Tyler for his refusal to repeat the same odious veto npon tho bill repealing the subtreasury. More vetoes ! more vetoes ! up with the Dictator ! ! and down with the Repre sentatives of the People ! ! is the substanco of their loud hurra. But the wishes of these despisers of tho ma josty of the people will nol again be gratiftcd. President Tyler is, in the main, a democratic whig.

As soon as thc coostei nation causcd by this drcadful accidenthad subsided, it was discovercd that au awful loss of hfc had taken place. Thc bodies of the unfortunate individu;ils were gathcred together, snmeso drcadfully mutilated as scarcely to hc recognised. We are not yct in posscssion of the full cxtcnt of this sh.ickina afi".iir.

Gibstm merchant, formerly partner of Mr. Chapin, of the City Hotel in this city, foreman orEngine No. 3, had his licad almosi blown olTand his body was found in the canal. He was one of our principal business men, and has left a distracted wife and cliildren. In addition to the abave, which wc issucd in an extraon Saturday afternoon, we areindebted to the Weslern State Journal and the Onondaga Standard for the following additional particu lars: One of the most deeply afllicting events that ever occurred in our town, took place last night. At about half past 9 o'clock ihe aiarm of fire was given, which brought most of our citizens to a wooden building siluatcd on the tow-path of the Oswego canal, nearly in the rear of the County Clerk's office, and occupicd as a joiner's shop by Charles Goings. At the lime we had reached the spot, the roof of ihe building was completely in cnveloped in flames. The engine companies were near the fire, and to be doing good cxecu tion. Presently we lieard the cry'of " Powder .' Powder! There is Powder in the building.'" When this cry was first given, nearly the wlfole crowd mshed back, but the move was momenta ry. Most of thosc near the fiie maintained their posiiion, and very few appeared to place any credit in the report. Al this time we were stan ding within fifty or sixty feet of the flamcs the building had becn on fire perhaps fiftecn minutcs when a tremendous explosion took place, com pletely checking the fire and demolishing the building. This explosion lasted we should think 4, or 5 seconds, filling the air with fragmects of the building, and creating ihe greatesi conster nalion imaginable. The noise of the explosion having ceased, all was siill for a moment, and then the most heart-rending groanthat cver reached our ears were distinctly heard The first pcrson whom we met after the shock was Mr. Myers, lock tender.a tall.athletic man, wmi pari oi ius iace oiown on, ana bis nead and I shoulders completely covered with cinders and blood. He begijed some one to go home with him, and two persons readily accompanied him. The next was a person bmught out dead ; one side oi his head havin; been blown off, and his brains fallen out. Oh, Mercy, what a sight. From this follovved othcr scenes which it is ira possible to describe. All was confusion. Al though the si;hl of the dead and the dying was horribIet it was scarcely Iess than that of ihe living, mquiring for lheir relalives parents for their rhildren, and wives, aimost irantic with despair, for tl.eir husbands. Every thing, we believe, was done that could have been done under the circumslances. An extra train of cars was run to Auburn for physi cians, and our hotel keepprs threw open their doors for thereception of thc wounded. We were on the ground an liour after the explosion occuried, and witnessed the greatesi kindness on the part of all. Every efibrt was made to extri cate the bodies, and to afford all the consolation and relief that could be aiTorded. As to the oriiiin of the fire, it is unknown ; but his supposed that it waa the work of an incen diary. Thd fire appeared to have commenced in the tonof ihe buildin?. Thenowder some sav j 10, oihers 15, kegs was on the ground floor, under a worl- bencli, and bdooged to lUalcom Hudson. Such is a brief and an imperlect skctch oi this awful calatnity a calamity which, from the carelessness, avarice, or maligniiy of one, or two, or three persons has sent, or probably will send. not Iess than thirty of their fellow beir.gs into Eternity ; and most of them without a mo meni'.s warnin.

I cannot conscnt ihat my name, humble as I em, as an iiidividual, should be used for that purpose. I am uttcrly opposcd to slavcry in ull its forms. I am opposcd to slavcry both tcmporal and spiritual, nalional and domcstic. I am opposcd lo sluvcry, as it exists in our own country. It is a moral and political cvil and ought to bc abolishcd. It is absolutcly rcpugnant to tho dictatcs of natu ral juslico, to ihe genera! principles of our holy religion, to the first arlicle of our Stato Consti tution, and to tho dcclaration of our Nalional ludcpendcncc. This noble instrument contains tho principles upon which the Amcrican ruvo lulion was fouuded. It is a glorious germ of universal liberty ; although il has bccome soinewhat stiflcd and cripplcd by the transac tionsof after time. I havo said slavery is an cvil, but not without a remcdy.
