TIIE TWO THIRDS RULE. % Itisrauchto be regretted that the politicians of both parties do not pay more attention to the true principles of the two parties, and avoid thereby, much of the little and petty warfare which so pre eminently distinguishes the Presidential canvass. While it is at all times proper to expose the incon sistencies of the candidates of both parties, and doubly proper to hold up Janus-faced efforts, no matter whence they come; still we regret, that the attention of the great body of the people is not more prominently invited to an examination of the cardinal points of difference presented by the plat forms of the two parties, and to a fair and candid discussion of the principles therein set forth. Be- j Sieving that it is to the interest of all, that such a | course should be pursued, we shall attempt in a few short articles to pave the way at least, for such an examination as that proposed and ultimately elicit, from some more able pen than ours, a full and impartial examination into the principles of the two parties. V/e plant ourselves in fact where he Democracy do in profession. We prefer prin ciples to men, if either are to be abandoned, but we have no hesitancy in saying, that in a country tiKe ours, where statesmen are as numerous as in any place on the globe, there is, and there can be no propriety, far less necessity, in sacrificing either principles or men. We support then, principles and men, because we have them both. Indeed, nothing can be more disastrous in its ultimate ef fects upen the councils of our country than the un fortunate rule which our Democratic friends have introduced into their Presidential conventions.? High attainments, long services, and marked states manship now, so far from being recommendations, arc absolutely injurious to their possessor. One who has been prominent before the people, enters the convention with his fast and fixed friends, men who have enlisted in his support from high con victions of his capacity and statesmanship, and is there met by a competitor equally able and quali fied, and with a body of friends equally enthusias tic and devoted. Either may have a majority, nei ther two thirds. Both are snpported to the last by their friends, and by force of the two thirds rule, a new man, not obnoxious, because unknown, to the I? censure of either; is taken up and nominated, and thus it happens that old and tried public servants, when brought forward for the highest office, when in sight, as it were, of the goal towards which they have directed their footsteps from the first moments of their public career, which has prompted their powers, and stimulated their actions, which has been the beckoning beacon to a life of toil; are cast aside because they have labored too long and are known too well. The tendency of such a course is too obvious to need explanation. T he highest office in thegift of he people may safely be assumed as the goal to wards which all our statesmen bend their steps in their political career. Heretofore he, who could make the rr.a?t imposing appearance before the country, who had served longest and best, who had been ever ready to serve and serve with ability, in the leading rankaof statesmen and public servants; and who, by such sen-ices, was thus known to the whole people ; was the man upon whom the votere of the land were invited to bestow their highest re ward. Washington was twice called to the pres idential post, after he had rivaled all human achievement in the magnitude, brilliancy and pa triotism of his actions. The position could confer no honor upon him. He honored the nation by ac cepting its chief magistracy. The elder Adams had been the most noted of the early revolutionary agitators. He had played a most conspicuous and prominent part in all the Massachusetts diffi culties preceding the great revolutionary struggle. He had bearded the Hutchinson's, baffled the crown officers and carricd through the Mas.achusetts as sembly measures, at open variance with the dic tates of the Crown. He had been a member and a prominent member of the different sessions of the Continental Congress, anterior to the declaration of Independence, end so great was his zeal in that assembly for a direct and open declaration of In dependence, even for years prior to 177G, that he was openly pointed at by men, pure and tried pa triots afterwards, who then regarded him as dan gerous, and too ardent for American freedom. Af terwards he was proven to have been then right.? In the Congress of mfi, he was first tmong the foremost for Independence, was one of the general committee to whom Mr. Lee's resolution for inde pendence was referred, and one of the sub-com mittee of three appointed to draft the celebrated declaration, which alone would transmit the name .of its author to all futuro ages. His services as minister to France, and in every capacity in which hiscountry placed him, established his claims to the suffrages of the people. Mr. Jefferson needs no recording pen to name . the services 011 which he rested his claims to the high distinction. Hisservicesinthe Virginia house of Burgeises, in the Continental Congress, as gov t.oi of Virginia, and in almost every civil capaci ty, stamp him as the prominent statesman of his time Mr. \jadison was but little, if any, his inferior. Possess^nf a deep, reflecting mind, capable of examining eludicating in his closet every propo sition which nig]tt be presented to him, we may safelV say thav,s a statesman he never had his su perior among bi*?otemporaries. He was pre-en;?entiy distinguished for his coolness and freedom.-tom personal pique or mo tive; and to this quality, re we chiefly indebted for some of the soundest stai papers, which have ev er eminated from the pen of. n American. He was one of the two fathersofour 1 deral Constitution, and deserves the greatest credi for the clearness and foresight of his project of uniu, laid before tho American people, before the meeuw 0f the Fed eral Convention. His pre-eminent J aims to the highest honors, stand forth undisputed anj ac? knowledgedby all. James Monroe was o? ofthc 3h most prominent statesmen of his time. Vough ^not so intellectual as the two Virginians of ?,om of '?e have last spoken, yet he had served in varit,, art, wji in the highest civil postswith distinction, anu rca'ryi ,he satisfaction of all; and when the period ap - shed for selecting a successor to Mr. Madison, onroe occupied, in the estimation of the ly of the American people, the position next to tlie high office to which lie was almost unanimously called. Mr. Adams the younger, succeeded him, and no matter how much his po litical principles may be adverted to and opposed by some, no matter what may be the estimation in which he may be held, on account of his subse quent political course, yet none can deny to him the possession of high civil qualifications, and a prominency as a politician before the whole coun try, which might well justify his elevation to the honor conferred upon him. Of Andrew Jackson, we need not speak, his claims though purely military, were pre-eminent, but they are to nearly a part of our own day and generation, to need more than a reference. The '?follower in the footsteps of his illustrious prede cessor," was also a man of talent, of reputation as a statesman, and generally looked to through out the country. Harrison had been associated with ihe history or the country, for more than a quarter of a century; was twice brought forward by the people, for the high destination, and was the leading candidate, and people's choice in a convention in which Clay and Scott were his competitors. We need not illustrate further; all the candidates even, up to 1844, had been prominent men. Clay, Crawford and Jackson, were the competitors of Adams; Har rison and White, of Van Buren, and all the selec tions of candidates for the Presidential chair, were made in accordance with the previously as certained viishcs of the people. In 1844, the two thirds rule worked a cliango. Then for the first time, were the people told, that it was not for them to say who should be the nominee for Pres ident; then were they informed that the people's delegates, the wire working and place making politicians of the country, and not the people were to select the candidates; and then was presented to the people the option of "ratification, of usurp ed authority or defeat." No one of the popular assemblages had even suggested James K Polk, as a candidate; on the contrary, the people had spo ken for others. Again has this course been pursu ed by the convention of one of the great parUes of the country; again have the people had presen ted to them a candidate of whom most of them had never heard, and a candidate nominated without the sanction of a single assembly of the people, and in open violation of their declared and fully ex pressed preferences, if we may except a New Hamp shire intention, which Gen. P., did not suffer to ma ture. Of the qualifications and claims of the can didate, we shall not now speak, it being the prin ciple by which he was nominated, and its practi cal results to which we invite you attention, and in a future number, we shall attempt to show that the practical effect of the two thirds rule, 110 mat ter by which party adopted, will be to destroy first rate men, and to prevent rising American talent from expanding, and fully developing itself before the whole country. f The Platforms. I We publish to-day, and shall preserve 111 our ' columns until the Presidential election, the princi ples of the two principal political parties of the country. It is necessary, both for the apprecia tion and perpetuity of our system of government, that a full examination of political principles should be made by each voter for himself, and that each should institute a candid comparison of the principles of the two parties with each other and with the great platform of Union, known as the Federal Constitution. Each should determine for himself, first whether a measure proposed is constitutional, and then whether it is expedient, and called for by the exigencies and necessities of thecountry. If this be done, the majority will vote right and the influence, now so deleteriously exer cised by clap-trap politicians and scheming demago gues, will be perverte danddestroyed; and the great body of the people will learn that the safest, the surest, and the most profitable method of enjoying and preserving their high privileges and unex ampled freedom, is to examine, to understand and to act for themselves. We can show ourselves capable of self-government only by governing for ourselves and by suffering no motive, other than the desire of acting rightly, and no influence, oth er than that prompted by fully understanding our principles, to govern and direct us in our political course. With this view, we lay before our readers the two Baltimore Platforms, and shall, as soon as our time will permit, offer such reflections upon them as may be suggested by a candid examination and comparison of their respective merits. ID-Owing to the delay of our exchange list, we will not be able, for some time, to present our readers with such an order of literary selections as we could wish; but hope, soon, to be able to com ply with our promises in this respect. ^ All For Scotti At a meeting of the Columbus Chippewa Club, on Friday evening last, an excellent speech was made by Mr. Jones of Circleville. The Journal says, that "after the conclusion of Mr. Jones' speech, there was a loud cry for "Shields," " Shields." Thereupon, one of their citizens of that name came forward, and made an animating speech. He voted for Cass in 1848, but could not now support Gen. Franklin Pierce. He had seen and heard of nothing in the history of that man that could for a moment commend him to the support of any man who had a particle of regard for the Welfare of the West. He went for the gallant and glorious Scott, and the measures of policy which he advocated. Mr. Shields was ' re peatedly cheered while speaking. He will do much during the campaign." Scott Celebrations.?The 14th of September next, being the anniversary of the entrance of Gen. Scott and the army under his command into the city of Mexico, will be celebrated by a grand mass meeting in Louisville, Kentucky. The 10th of September, being the anniversary of Perry's victory on lake Erie, will be celebrated by a mass convention of the friends^of Gen. Scott in Pitts burgh. O-A censns just taken shows the population of Detroit to number 2G,64S. In 1820 it was 1,422, in 1850 21,057; and if it increases in the rate it has since 1850, in 18G0 Detroit will have a popula tion of 50,000. The Advertiser thinks the increase unparalelled, but in this is mistaken. In 1850 Cleveland contained 17,000 people, in 1851 over 21,000, and now has over 25,000.

Klepbcn NorCon'H Pocket PJccr. Among the victims of the Henry Clay disaster, was Stephen AUen, Esq., an aged man of the purest character,formerly a Mayor of New York, beloved and esteemed by all who knew him.

The Queen of England,?The National Jntcl ligcncer is publishing copious extracts from a very interesting series of "Family Letters from an Ame rican Lady in Europe." The writer thus speaks of the Queen, and her description is worth a hundred of those whicli are written more carefully for the public eye. She speaks of her Majesty as she saw her at the Opera: "The Queen, Prince and attendants were in her comfortable box. She is, indeed, very plain; the face a very mottled red, as if from constant ex posure to the weather, light eyes of not much intel ligence, the chin so receding as to spoil the mouth; but then, she has soft brown hair, exquisite figure, shoulders of dazzling whiteness, the contour of the head classical; and her whole expression be tokens what she undoubtedly is, a sweet, gentle lady. Her dress, of blue silk with a wreath of water lilies, is becoming. The Prince scarcely ap peared in front of the box, for her Majesty keeps him close by her side and she does not allow her self to be often seen by the audience." Novel Blasting.?The Edinburgh News of July 24th, describing a monster blast, says that an ex traordinary blast or explosion of gunpowder, ignited by means of electricity, took place in Garuntully quarry, on Monday last. It was conducted and fired by Mr. James Gowans, of Edinburgh. Some thing more than half a tou Jof ; powder was used. There were thirteen simultaneous charges, shear ing ofT, on a rough calculation, not less than 140, 000 cubic feet of stone. This is' the fourth explo sion of the same kind that has taken place in this quarry, all of which have been most successful.

We have gathered the following interesting par ticulars concerning the sinking of the steamer At lantic. A dense fog prevailed at the tune the pro nellor came in collision with the steamer. The nassen-ers were all ill bed, and the first mate was on duty. Immediately after the collision, which was very severe, a scene of the utmost confusion prevailed among the steerage and deck pessongers, 'i very large proportion of whom were Norwegian emigrants, and several, it is thought, in the terror and darkness that prevailed, jumped overboard at once Capt. Hetty, although seriously injured, en deavored with the assistance of his crew, to calm the fears of the passengers, assuring them that there was no immediate danger. The steamer kept on her course, the officers hoping to be able to reach a port, although the boat was leaking The water, however, gained on them, despite the efforts of the crew, and by the time they l.ad proceeded about two miles from the spot where the collision took place, it was found that the boat was rapidly sinking, the fires in the room be ing extinguished by the water. A scene of terri ble confusion ensued. The emigrants, who could not understand a word spoken to them, by their cries and terrors, added to the horror of the scene. The cabin passengers, and nil who could be made to understand, were exhorted by the captain and offlcers to remain calm, and to provide themselves each with a chair, settee, orbed, all of which were natent life-preservers, and would buoy them up in the water. Numbers, however, unheeding, or not understanding the advice, rushed overboard to cer tain death. About half past two, amid the wild shrieks of the passengers, the steamer settled and sunk The propeller, which had kept ill thewake of the sinking boat, did all in her power to pre serve the lives of the hundreds of human beings who were now seen struggling in the water. The fog was a sad hinderaiice to their eflorts, but some two"lmiidredand fifty were rescued from the lake, and taken by the propeller to hne. A arge number left at onoe on the Sultana for Cleveland. Others came down in the cars this morning. From the best information we can gain, weare led to be lieve some three hundred lives are lost. Through the politeness of the gentlemen con nected with the line to which the Atlantic belongs, we have received every assistance in gathering au thentic particulars. The following is a list ol the cabin and second-class passengers, as ticketed from the office here. The names alone are known, without initials, and the places named, are the ci ties in which the passengers procured their tick ets; but it is not certain that in all cases they re side there.

For Milwaukie.?Mr. Marshall of Boston; Messrs. Hall, Graves and Colvin, residence not known. For Sheboygan.?Mr. Turner, resideuce un known. , For Detroit.?Mr. Wurts, wife and two children, Mr. Hammerman, Stewart, Bird and wife, Lucas and Hays. ... , How many of the above are lost, it is impossible at present to say, but it is thought that the loss cf life lias been principally confined to the poor emi grants, who, although life is, of course, as precious to them as to the wealthiest of our citizens, will leave fewer amongst us to lament their untimely deaths. In addition to the above, there were on board Mr. A. E. Doggctt, of Chicago, Mr. Walbridge, father of Mr. Wells Walbridge of this city, and Mr. John W. Murphy, Express Agent, all of whom were saved. From Mr. Iloman, M. C. Railroad office, we re ceive information that the following were the num bers of tickets issued from his office: Steerage passengers, emigrants 217 Deck do 51 Second Class do 10 Cabin do 48 326 ^ Aside from these, Mr. Homan thinks there may have been 123 persons on hoard, including the crew, about 450, reducing the probable loss to about 200. This, however, we fear is a little under the mark. The emigrants were Norwegians, who came through by Lake Ontario steamers from Que bec, and about 75 or SO of them were left on the dock, the agent refusing them to go on board.? They now mourn the loss of their friends. There is reason to hope that many may yet be saved on the life preservers, with which the boat was well furnished. Immediately after the news reached this city, the steamers Northern Indiana and Louisiana and pro peller Princeton offered their services to go to the wreck?the Louisiana, which was fired up, imme diately discharged her load for that purpose. The Company's boat, Cleveland, however, arrived from up the lake, and was instantly dispatched to the scene of the calamity. She saw nothing of the wreck on her down trip, owing to the prevailing fog. Steamer Sultana, Aug. 20?4 P. M. At a meeting of the passengers surviving the wreck of the ill-fated Steamer Atlantic, which, in consequence of a collision with the Steam Propel ler '.Ogdensburgh, sunk on the night of the 19th inst., Mr. Aaron Rutton, of New York, was called to the Chair, and J. Taylor Wright, of Brooklyn, was chosen Secretary. The following resolutions were then read and unanimously adopted: Resolved, That our sincere thanks are due to Capt. R. Richardson, officers and crew of the Pro peller Ogdensburgh, for their prompt assistance in rescuing us from a watery grave, and also for their kind attention to our wants while on board their boat. Resolved, Tliut we feel grateful, and are desi rous of expressing our warmest thanks to Capt. G. W. Appleby, of the Steamer Sultana, for his kind ness in taking us from the Propeller, and forward ing us to the port of our destination, and also to ex press our gratitude for the many attentions of him self, officers and crew, in administering to our wants and necessities during our passage to De troit. Resoived, That we feel deeply indebted and grateful to the passengers on board the Steamer Sultana, for their self-sacrificing exertions to render every assistance in their power to make us comfor table, in providing dry clothing and such articles of comforts as was at their command. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutionsbe for warded to Captain Richardson, of the Ogdensburgh, and also to present a copy of the same to Captain Appleby, of the Sultana. AARON SUTTON, Chairman.

IVnmCN of the PanHcngcrn Snrcd -voricr'fc Inquest on tne Ucnu. Among the incidents which we have gat ered, connected with the terrible catastrophe on th lake, are the following: While the life-boat was being lowered, Cptnin Petty fell from the deck, striking his head ainsl the boat and bounding into the water. H man aged to reach the Propeller then some dista :eoff, and the propeller was immediately headed t vard* the steamer. The Atlantic had sunk to the lurri cane deck before the propellor or boats 1 netted her, and the females were then taken ofT aj astas* possible, and after them, the males.

A meeting of the survivors was held il the Ses ston rooms of the Presbyterian Church atiErie, last evening, when the following, among otlir resolu tions. were adopted : Resolved, That we would call the atfcntion of the public in particular to the insufficiency of the so called Life Preservers, which are tjtally use less, which was too bitterly proved to sane of the unfortunates who trusted themselves to heir fan cied security. Resolved, That we express our indignaion at the gross misconduct of the owners of thejrteamboat Atlantic, in not providing proper faciliti^ to afford the passengers 011 board the means of sating their lives. We consider that the want of a sufficient number of boats to hold the passengersin an un anticipated contingency like the preseix, and the want of other loose materials to be a waiton tam pering with human life, and that the owners of the unfortunate boat should be held up to thj public us men who have cast aside these considerations from lidifference to the lives placed in their diarge: A meeting of the citizens of Erie was jfterwards called, at which much feeling wasmanibsted, and the following resolutions were passed: ! 1st. Resolved, that the loss of the st amer At 1.antic, on the night of the 20th Augus is a ca lamity of such an overwhelming and he? t-rending character, that the voice of an outraged publio is inadequate to its expression, and that aj citizens of Erie, we desire that the proper authorities at once proceed to arrest all the officers nnlmen who are found within the county, who werCemployed upon the Atlantic or the propeller OuIdknuurg, that the case of the collision may be corjectly as certained. 2d. Resolved, That the prosecuting rjtorney of this county, be requested to take immediate mea sures to obtain such evidence as may desired from the passengers now in town. 3d. Resolved, That, in our opinion, tfie officers and owners of the stermer Atlantic are highly censurable for not having provided sufliebnt means of relief in case of accident, and in overloading the boat with passengers and freight. 4th. Resolved, That in our opinion, the life preservers attached to the stools on Wail's boats, by the late calamity, were found uttejly inade quate and totally useless, and that the India rub ber life preservers 011 that occasion performed good service; and that the travelling public <an place confidence in a well made article. I An inquest was also held in Erie last evening, on the body of a little girl, name unknown, picked i up iji the Lake, when the following evidence was I eiven: DkGrass RIcNell, sworn.?I am first mate of Propeller Ogdensdurg. I commenced my watch at midnight. About half-past one, saw the steam er, she had a red light aloft, and two white lights below. We had two lights at the cross-trees, and another signal light in front of the wheel house.? when I first saw her, she was probably tlree miles distant. We were steering for the Welland Ca nal, and I judged from her course that i*e should pass half a mile north of her. Upon nearingher, she appeared to have changed her course, and to be making across our bows. I now ordeied our en gines to be stopped. This was about ten minutes before the collision. Seeing that we were likely to strike together, I ordered the engine to back and the wheel to be put down hard a starboard?I shouted as loud as I could?our whistle was out of order. In about two minutes we struck?-the bow of our vessel striking her between the gangway, and the wheel house, on the larboard side. I did not see or hear any person on board the steamer, when we struck?we had nearly stopped?the At lantic was under full headway?after ascertaining that our vessel would not sink, we went to her re lief, although'we did not see any signal of distress or hear her bell ring, but upon Hearing, we heard the cries of persons on board and ip the water, we came up to her in about an hour, iher lights had disappeared and her bow wasunller water?her stern was in sight and all three of the decks. We came alongside and took offlall the persons who had remained on her till now, Jjjr boats were engaged in picking up those in theftater?we af terwards made a circle of a mile in ?rcuinference, around the wreck, keeping the boatfinside the cir cle, and we think we got on board? 11 the living persons in the water and on the Sterner. We took probably 200 off the stealier, and 100 from the lake. The Atlantic remained in the same position when we left her. ft Question by Juror?If you had givejn the order to the man at the wheel five minutes sboner, would the collision have taken place? \ Answer?It undoubtedly would no'!. As we are anxious to draw out eveijy particular connected with affair, we give the following state ment of James Carney, the second mate of the Atlantic, which we have procured fr<J>m. his own words: | v I was second mate of the Atlantic onl the night of the collision with the propeller Ogdeinsburg, the 19th inst. It was my watch on deck, Vhe weather was smoky from the time of leaving. l\ saw Long Point light two miles, and think I couldihave seen a steamer's light one mile. Fifteen minutes after leaving Long Point light, which we passed at two o'clock, made propeller light nearly n pcninton our larboardbow. We were steering S.
