Oct. 1, 1854. U. LATUAOP. When certain journals devoted to Mr.

Fill more get through with their pMrsoual abuse ol Whig Candidates, perhaps they will let us know whether they intend to voir the 'Whig AWany Journal. We have indulged in no abuse of the whig candidates, unless it be abusejto have asserted that claims of these candidates tit) not depend on their personal merits, but on tfiife fact that they represent whig principles. That assertion we do not hesitate to repeat. Mir. ClarkE has Biver held any prominence among the public men of our State, either for a commanding intellect or important public serrijpes.

There i not a a intelligent voter in the-imitate, 'who, on learning of his nomination, was not struck, with a feeling of the disproportion between thefitanding of the man and the dignity of tbeuffioe. Scarcely known out of his own county previous to his efforts in the State Senate last winter in favor of the Maine Liquor Law, he had njito antecedents vhich recommended him to the especial regard of the whig party. He may hare earned a fair title to the support of the lempcrjaiice party; his friends aver that he has claims upon the uboli-tienists; but to the whig partyJ considered as the embodiment of distinctive whi principles, he waa no more than any other whig" taken at rau-dom from the general run of couoly politicians. We were undoubtedly borne out by the facts cf the case then, in Baying that MrCi.ARK has no other claim to the voles of the wjig party than results from his being the representative of whig principles. 1 i When he was put in nomination, supposing that he was a fair and honorable! fnan, it did not occur to us that any doubt could arise as to his adoption of the platlorm of the Convention which had conferred on him an honor stf'distinguished, nd in many respscls so gratuitous.

Accordingly, had the question been put to us at time his nomination at Syracuse, and he assembling of the motley collection of "Black spirits and white: Blue spirits and gray who enacted iheir fantastic tricks at the seat of one of the great public Institutions of the State had the question, we say; been put to us prior to the grand abolition synod at Auburn, whether we intended to vote for: the (so called) whig ticket, the answer would have been much easier than now. Previous to (hat precious gathering, it was our intention, as it then was the indention of the whole whig party of the State, to give to the Syracuse ticket' a hearty support. All hands at once stepped aboard the Syracuse ship, and set themselves at work with the greatest alacrity in splicing the' broken ropes and getting the rigging in prime order for prosperous While the attention of ail ia fully occupied with the bustle of cheerful preparation, it is rumored that our officers have silently dropped a boat, and made a vigorous pull for another ship; that they have begged to be taken onboard; that their humble supplication has been listened to; that they have been hauled up like so many captured cod-fish, and are now on deck swinging their hats, though thejt dare no't swell their throats, be cheer the black flag of abolition. Under these circumstances, the question matelyatisea whether, if this shall ell turnout to be tree), it ia our duty to help i navigate the I i I i I IVfATTPRSf 'I -urEVISORS. Wed.sesdav, Oct.

HThc Chair named Mr. McMillon and as tellers. Wells Brooks received 16 votes. T. W.

Woolson 12 Blank 2 On motion of T.W. Woolson, Wells Brooks was declared elected presiding officer of the Board. Mr. Brooks on taking the chair addressed the board as follows Gemtlembn: I deem it proper to express my obligations for the confidence you have manifested, and the honor you have conferred in electing me to this place. It is an honor which I regard the more valuable for having been freely and voluntarily bestowed without any interference or solicitation on my part.

The position which you have assigned me, though always important, is rendered more so at the present time by the recent increase in your number. Since the last annual meeting of the Board there has been a considerable increase inthe number of towns and wards in the county which has produced a corresponding increase in the number of representatives in this Board. This increase is but the result of that rapid growth and increase of wealth, business and population, which has rendered our county second in importance to but one in the State. We come here here, gentlemen, to transact the business, and to represent the interests of a equal in numbers and iar surpassing in intelligence, enterprise and prosperity some of the empires of the old world. The business ordinarily to be transacted by the Board is more than equal to the entire annual legislation of some of the States.

And I trust we shall apply ourselves the discharge of our duties in the transaction of such business as we may have in charge, with a single purpose of protecting the interest and promoting the welfare of those we represent. 1 shall assume the duties of the position, which you have chosen me to fill, with feelings i of distrust in regard to my qualifications and fit- ness for the place. I have but little experience and certainly no superior qualifications to aid me in the perform- ance ol these duties. All 1 tail promise is a faithful devotion of such abilities as I possess to the discharge of these duties, and while I crave your clemency in overlooking errors, I shall hope lo beaided and encouraued by your counsel and advice. We shall all 1 trust feel the importance of toleration, courtesy and forbearance, iu our intercourse together, and especially of adhering with reasonable strictness, to such rules as you may adopt for the government of your proceedings.

With a renewal of the expression of my thanks for the manifestation of your kindness and partiality, 1 await the further pleasure of the Board. On motion of Mr. Goddard, the Board proceeded to elect a Clerk. Mr. Young and Mr.

Webster were appointed tellers. Mr. S. C. Adams, of Collins, received 1" votes.

The Chair appointed as such Cenmittee, Messrs. Marvin, WooLson and Goddard. The following resolution was adoptd: Resolved, That this Board will audjt no account for services rendered after the 2uof Octo- aer, except the accounts of the memhq-s and its officers, and such other accounts us be ordered by the Board.

There in i i i i -1 1 i iuucu apeciuauua as tu me plan luey win aaopi, but as their movements ere veiled ia eecresy, nothing can be known on the subject. It is surmised that an "eclectic" ticket will be formed, composed of individuals already put in nouiina-I tion by the different political Organizations. In other State, so far aa we have been able to as-i certain, it has not been their practice to nominal' independent tickets. They have concentrated their strength upon the most acceptable candi dates already presented, and it is believed that their support has almost, if not quite, invariably ensured saccees.

At any rate, if they have at any time failed to elect their favorites, a knowledge of their defeat has not reached the public. If this coiuv should be agreed upon, It is obvi-i ous that in making the selections reference will be had not 8t much to the party arhmties ot the candidates aa to their supposed sympathy with the objects for which the nw sect has been called into existence Tbe questions which have separated Whigs from Democrats are with them of minor importance in comparison with the great object which they hope to acliieve that is, the annihilation Of the foreign element in our elections, and, as a logical sequence, the destruction of the caucus power, which has here tofore controlled all nominations in the Northern States. We wish them all success in the latter object, and failing to see how that can be accom- I pUshed independently of the former, we should be prepared to lend our assistance to their general design, if the means of co-operation were pointed ont. As to the part the Know-Nethings are to act in i I he coming election, and the power they will be nble to exercise at the polls, it seems hardly worth while to consider the question, inasmuch as we are all in the dark respecting the numbers em- braced in the several lodges the basis of their organization the system of discipline by which i their operations are governed, and the bindingj force of the engagements which the neophytes take upon themselves before being admitted as I members. But aa great interest is felt in the movements of the order, and as it is easy to see supposing the current rumors touching its numerical strength irtt to bfe the nioet absurd ex- aggerationa that they can exert a controlling in- fluence in the election, we are disposed to talk up I the matter a little, even at the risk of betraying an utter misconception of the whole thing.

We assume thai tt'e majority principle prevails among the Know Nothings, and that the members are under certain obligations to act iu concert on important questions we assume this, be cause to allege the contrary would be to stigma tize the order as a preposterous, purposeless or gauization, incapable of affirmative action a mere peurile association, without the power ot siccomplishing anything, good or bad. Concede this admit that all the members can be con- strained to surrender their individual preferences, and tupport a list of candidates for State officers agreed upon by the majority, we are forced to the conclusion that such a condition will be imposed upon them in the pending canvass. If this result is not attained, the whole affair is a farce, and they may as welt disband incontinently. But suppose the New York Convention to select a ticket from the multitudinous array of candidates now in nomination, and the great body of the know-Nothings to support it in good faith, what is it reasonable to anticipate from the movement? It is claimed that these people number at least a hundred and sixty thousand. If this representation approaches the truth, how can we resist the conviction that the candidates agreed upon at New.

York will lie elected? That is, supposing the "eclectic" system to be adopted. The aggregate vote of the State may be estimated in round numbers at half a million, (iive the Know-Nothings a hundred and fifty thousand or say a hundred thousand and there remain four hundred thousand to be divided among the Whiles. Softs and Hards. Can there be any doubt, on this hypothesis, that tho Know-Nothings trail control the result. They cannot select om the nominees of the Softs, for the Convention of that section formally denounced the Know Nothings and opened their arms to the Irish Catholics, the objects of the special execration of the new order.

They have therefore only the Whig and Hard tickets to choose from. Who are they likely to select? Where will they find candidates best fitted for the porposes they have in view Of course they must eschew every politician who has at any time paid court to the Irish Catholics, or whose antecedents suggest the suspicion that he will in any way resist or obstruct their efforts to nullify the foreign influence in our political movements, and to procure a modification of the naturalization laws. This proposition is a self-evident one; otherwise they stultify themselves and bring the order into manifest contempt. Beyond this obvious fact we' do not undertake to go. Every reader can judge for himself how the Know-Nothings will probably constitute their ticket.

Afiaiks Utah. The Washington correspondent of the Courier and Enquirer, writes as follows: -The official term of Governor Brigham Youwii, of Utah Territory, expired on Friday, tbe 29th of Se'ember. His successor has not been agreed upon, snd I learn that the appointment of one has L-eea found a matter of considerable difficulty. YotJga will nol be re-appointed, bit it is well known that no man, not a Mormon, could govern that hvriese and impious community, without the mat aid of one or two well appointed regiments. The Secretary of the Ter cress, will direct affairs until the further action of the President.

The political insubordination of these people is as remarkable as their moral and religious irregularities. Mr. YetJNG and his associates have not thought fit to forward copies ef their Territorial laws, or the accounts of the expenditures of the public appropriation, for the past two rears. The Tribune's correspondent says the state- meat "that HoLLiirs wanted to go to Grey- town is strictly true.) He told Gov. Marcy he was anxious to draw a glove over Lieut.

Jolly lace; but this Administration desired lo avoid such an occurrence; and consequently had deter- mined not to send him." We can easily credit this representation. It required no extraordina- ry amount of courage to express such a wish to Gov. Alter; but if the gallant Hollins really desired personal satisfaction of be would have been more likely to attain his object by addressing similar language to the gentleman himself.

Good Effects of Rain. The recent riots in New Orleans were put down, in a great measure, by heavy rains, which fell two or three nights in succession. Men do not like to engage in riots during a heavy elemental storm. The old adage says, "there is always a calm after a storm." Cholera. A young man named Win.

Staats, ol Geneva, died at New Bedford, on Fri-day. He was sick only about ten hours. The New Bedford Standard says that cholera is still prevailing at Fall River. On Sunday last several new cases occurred, and the number of deaths for the week, so far as ascertained, was thirteen. The new attacks were occasioned by the want of proper care on the part of those ex-i posed to the disease.

A rigger who was engaged on board the ship Judith, at New Orleans, one day last week, was found lying across one of the yardarms perfectly motionless. He had died of a disease of the heart.

Horrible Atrocities upon Americans Mexico. in From the San Antonio Texan, Sept.

7. Five gentlemen arrived in San Antonio Sept. who are just returning from California, having come by the overland route from Mazatlan, on the Pacific. Their names and places of residence are as follows: Richard M. Head, Bibb County, John W.

Cole, Holly Springs, John Schoolfield, Hamilton County, David Schoolfield, Hamilton County, David Spring. Fort Smith, Ark. From these persons we learn the following painful disclosure: In the city ofDurango, Mexico, they learned in a private manner, that there were some Americans in the city prison, and they afterwards got permission to visit them. They found them in a large stone dungeon of so filthy a description that it was almost impossible for visitors to remain in the entrance-way but a few minutes. The Americans in confinement were three in number, and their names and form-! er places of residence were as follows: William Shirley, Br6ome county, N.

Wiliaam Rogers, Stark county, Ohio; John Gaines, Dayton, Mont-i gomery county, Ohio. These men have been in this filthy dungeon four years and threejypnths, and during two years of this time they were et a ii aa rl Jnwn t- tnn in Irtlal fl vW va where they could not see any person but the one who fed them their starving allowance. At the end of two years the huge chains around their ankles and wrists bad tcora the flesh off tn the such was horrible condition, that their euains were removed to save their lives and keep them in mlserv thc longer The flesh ig partly healed over these wounds, leaving the mo heart-sickening scars, which were all seen lhe five whose names are mentioned Th wprfi -T-anpA charge of murdering and robbing a man for his money, and they state also, that from some facts which they are in possession of, the person who committed tbe murder escaped. They have been trying to get a trial, but a hearing is refused them. They have written letters to the American Minister in Mexico several times, and they have reason to believe that he has never received them.

Our informants learned from many respectable Spaniards in Dursngo, that it was impossible to eet evidence to convict them: and the ureal mass of the people believe them innocent.

Suockinu Affair. The New York Tribune gives the gives tne particulars oi a snocaing trageay wnicn occurred in Brooklyn on Saturday. A man named Michael King attempted to murder his wife by assaulting her with a razor and then terminating his own existence by cutting his throat with the same instrument. tie cause oi tne areaaiut aeea is saia to nave been jealousy on the part of the husband, although he was a man ot some 40 years of age, and his wife about five years his junior; and together having a family of five children, the old-eat not more than 12 years, and tbe youngest but six months old. When the Cry of murder was given some policemen rushed to King's apartment and found the woman, with the youngest child in her arms, lying upon the platform at the head of the stairs, end weltering in blood.

Ofieer Reynolds, who heard the a mult, immediately ran up stairs, and by main strength bom open the door', where King was standing, half with a razor in hu hand. A soon aa saw the officer he delib-erately drew the instrument across his own throat end with ouch prepsion mod force that he completely severed the windpipe and every vein end artery connecting with the body. So thorough waa tbe work done that he dropped down on tbe floor, and with a few convulsive struggles terminated his existence. The woman received a terrible gash across her threat, but it is thought that she will recover. i the ncitaele of the draining of priryi and hog-pens and to be drained by cotMltnsctinf a brick culTert alonsj uie reT thereof ul cawretan, withO enlrert teadinc Into tbe By Aid Chambers The special Committee tovheaawas referred the subject matter ofihe division of Election Dlr-tricta, and designating and fixing tbe places for hoMirg elections, report by ottering the following resolutions 1st Rfohmd, That the Second Ward of tbe city of Buf falo be, and is hereby divided intb two Election Districts, uwjiuw ana aescrmea as muows Ail tne lemroiy or tne said ward, lyfng south of a line drawn through the centre of Swan street, is hereby declared to be the First Section District of said Ward and all the balance or remaining territory ef said Second Ward, tying north of a line drawn through the centre of Swan street is hereby clared to be the Second Electa on District of said Second Ward.

'-iii We have celled on these candidates to dofir their equivocal position.

They feave neglected to do so, and their friends have deplined to do it for them. What evidence have that they stand on the whig platlorm? llthe evidence con Slats in tne ibci iui itwy awugni inu accept ed ti as) nomination ef the whig Convention, is there not proof precisely the same in kind and in degree that they have gone oti the abolition platform constructed at Auburn? Can they stand on both at the same time? i We aver that they cannot. It waa not a question at Syracuse whether the convention should -express senti- meats hostile to the growth of he slave in- fluence. There was a question as to the extent to which the convention would go' in that direc- ml 1 i i I nosu new ii nau iiacu toe mutts ot tne ucuost vi Cm party in that direction, we hold that its can-' didatea were bound to respect these limits. At all eventa, we claim that we have a light to know unequivocally whether the whig candidates adopt or reject the Auburn platform.

As soon as this point ia cleared up, we are ready to give a decided and unequivocal answer to'the question whetfear we will vote for them.
