Tli i citizens cf Richland District are tired ofj ^tb*tra dice, as nay be seen by reference to the J j^^lrocfediiigs of a meeting he'd in Columbia, nn^ ^ HJoyday the 4>h instant, "to devise some plan toj sn/press the odious and demoralizing practice of J twating at elections." Well may the people rise^ .... in mo dnar this abominable custom,\ ur suited better t<> a barbarian age than to that of sci-l ence and civilization. Apart froin oui predilections J in the temperance cau*e, we are opposed to the! practxe on pri-.cipl s of morality, sound po!i. y,?j and economy; believing that treating at elections! tends to con not our people, and to destroy the! p-iri'y and b'essings of our el irious ba 1 !ot-b? xpri-i \ ileges, more than all other causes combined.?g The verv thine itself is opposed to law and order,! a id ought to be s?op;?ed by t!ie strong arm of law,I if nothing else can effect the object. At the ballot _ box all men are equal: the vote.deposited there by the rich man will count the same as the po?r man's vote. But how many men are led up to vote, and cheated out of that vote. Destroy a man's faculties by drenching him with liquor, and is he a fit and proper one to exercise this right? lie has ro capacity to discriminate, and is unfit to decide in the choice of men for office. The fol lowing preamble and resolution were unanimously adopted at the meeting in Columbia, having been advocated by Col. D.J. McCord, in the s rouges' terms : also by other gentlemen of the bar. Whereas, The elections in Richland have assumed such a character that some action is re quired on trie part of the citizens to preserve thr 1. ?f tk> n;,irip| mill rnctcirn (lie nuritv of til' elective franchise. Therefore, Rexrfced, That a committee of thirty he *?|i pointed to consider of and reronirnrnd stiitabh measures to reiorm the conduct of our elections and promote the peace and character of our J)is trict, the said committee to report through th> newspapers of Columbia, within the space of out ttuintli Upon this committed, gentlemen of the higher I character ami respectability were appointed Wr hope they may "devise some plan by which th? morals of the District may be preserved, and th< purity of the elective franchise restored.'' Whet" wili Ker.-haw do likewise ? THE BURNING OF THE ST. JOHN. Wo have received from the hands of a fiiem' n copy of the Alnhama Journal, containing hi account of the burning of the Steamer Otlim St. John, about 4 miles above Bridgeport, on the Alabama River, having left Mobile 0:1 the evening of the 4th, containing the melancholy i iteUigoiice of the loss of many of her passengers, ami among others, of our fellow-towns man, James R. McKain and lus mother: Tut? S r. Joiix.?The burning of the St. Johi villi t!?o accompanying loss of life, is the mos* disastrous casualty which has occurred on ou waters sitice the bursting of the boilers of t!u ]-en. Fr.inkli.i. The scenes, say the passengers, were terrific The ladies and children, it is alsc s lid, might have been saved from the ster.i of the boat, except from the hasty and insudordin ite conduct of some of the crew, in biking o the yawl some distance down the stream, when they landed. As in their hast.', they had neglected to take the oars, the Captain wlien Ik fumd the yawl, had much difficulty in reaching t!'o boat, and could not do so in time to save tin " -- - I ...1. ladies, lie, however, rescued six persons win were clinging to the rudder. The engineer re.luained at his post in the midst of the tire, al though severely burned, until the boat struci t ie shore; he then had the precaution to rais< the safety valve and stop the engine, whiel saved many who were floating, from being swep. into the current and drowned. Mr. Carson wa lost in endeavoring to save his son. Judge Limbley was not seen after the boat landed. Tin ladies remained at tlio stem ol the boat unti their clothing was nearly (totigumeu, anu wen tiien forced to spring into tlie river. A passenger described to us the instantaneous spread of the flame, " as rapid as fire in ; d y shuck-pen or a drv grass prairie"?in thret li.inutes the cabin had fallen in. The register of passengers was lost. We an furnished, however, by the Clerk of the boa', .with a list of the casualties, as far as ascertained. Lost.?Mrs. Hall, and daughter, (supposed of Augusta, Ga.; Mrs. Vaughan, Miss Vaughan Mrs. McKain, Mrs. Haley, Mrs. Wright, and one or two others; Messrs. McKain, of South Carolina, T. B. Carson and son, of Dallas co., Judge Lindsay, of Mobile; Thomas Stephens (printer,)of Camden Ala., four others names unknown; Hugh Hughs, 2d Mate; Peter, (steward;) Easter, (Chambermaid;) 2d Cook; and eight negroes. SAVED. All the crew with the exception of the 2d Mate. Convoponilence of the Baltimore Sun. Washington, March 7, 1850. The interest felt in Mr. Webster's course on the great question of the day drew to the capi. t?d, at an early hour this morning, a vast crowd. 'Hie ladies obtained possession of the chamber before the hour of meeting, and of course were not dislodged from their seats, though some of the Senators were. Among the eminent persons without the bar were the British minister " and (*en. James Hamilton. The Senators and the whole of the vast and brilliant auditory were profoundly attentive to Jr. Webster's S|?eecli, which occupied about three hours and a half. The sj>eech was admirably lupted to promote a liberal and rational sentin><t at the North on the territorial and slavery on tion, and toj expose some of the errors and fallacius in the' views of the modem South?and to bring the two sections together ujkmi terms of liberal com-J promise?not by repudiating anv principle, but: bv acknowledgingnnd carrying into effect well established principles. I Mr. Webster has got as far as expected, nndj ^ further thnn most nf His Northern friends wished! [ in concessions, as they deem them, to the South.? jBut I do kot consider either those l?e proposes J what may be properly considered as concession *on either point. He gives to hoth sections f their just and Constitutional due. 1 -To the South he offers; first, the execution, in ;good faith, of the compact made by the terms J of the annexation of Texas; the rigid enforce smcnt of the stipulations for the surrender of fufgitive slaves; while at the same time, he rebukes Etlie abolition agitation, and utterly rejects the sWilmot proviso. I In the North, he claims nothing hut this?that 'California and New Mexico?the whole country ^acquir ?d from Mexico?shall be, what God and iintiira liivn ilnilinixl if ftir nnn.sl'ivobnliliixr territory. Me simply asks that human law and human folly shall not interfere to contravene or to strengthen the acts of God. Of course he referred only to African slavery?not to predial service. His broad ground is that the character of every foot of laud belonging to the Union is already fixed?as respects the question of slave* holding or nou-slave-holding territory?by irrevocable law. Mr. Calhoun, who wai an attentive listener, expressed his gratification at some portion of Mr. Webster's s|>eoch. He differed with him us the que.-tion whether States could scctde, and< some historical points. The exact difference between them I will state hereafiter. As I alluded to some startling information from France, I will mention that from private md authentic sources it is known that Louis Napoleon has fallen into a condition of helpless imbecility, both mental and physical. He has b -en jrersuaded by a committee of leaders of parties to abdicate. He will consent to rennuice his authority in favor of the restoration >f the monarchy, in the person of the Duke of loccudeuux, with a reservation in favor of the Jouut de Paris. Important to Stkmroat Ownrr*.?A very important decisions was given lately by Judge drawbridge, fixing the responsibility of damaes accruing to cotton by exposure to thi veather. A suit w;is brought by the steamer L'oncorlin against a commission house of New Orleans or amount of freight on a lot of cotton shipped on sciid boat?bill o('ladingsigned in good order. The cotton was landed upon the leve in we! weather, and exposed there for several dn3*s, tin! finally proven! damaged. Defendants o:ier d bill of damages as an offset to freight bill. The testimony showed the cotton to have been shipped in a storm of rain, with the banks of tin iver very muddy, and to have been landed ii had weather, and no damages to have occurrer m the boat. The Judge decided that the boat was not responsible for the damages, not l>eing liable for lie damages, not being liable for the effect of veafher upon the cotton, particularly after i: uid been left on the levee, with notice to the onsignees, constituted a delivery, and the reponsibilit v at he bout then ceased. ThcJudg? mimadverted, in strong terms, upon the manter in which cotton was often sliipped in rail: Mid mnd, and exposed for many days on the wee at the city, and expressed his surprise thai nirtJ cii!f< nf u citnilir nnhirn ivnro Milt lirnilffht Ic decided that boats had the right to go belink their bills of lading, and show the actual ondition of the articles shij>j>ed.
