"Vetoes. The Governor vetoed the bill
creating Hardin county in consequence of
its not containing the constitutional number
of Mpiare miles.
In vetoing tho ".act to authorize the
District Courts to i-ue land certificates in
certain eiL-e.s" he say that it was not passed
by a constitutional majority and that should
it pas by a two-thirds vote it vrill meet
with no objection from him. He thinks
however' as a matter of protection to the
State that the certificates should issue
under the Jral of (hu Commissioner of
Claims
The lloiie on the 27th inst. sustained
the veto of the Governor on the bill relative
to land titles we-jt of tho Nueces.
The Governor vetoed the bill to create
La Salle county on the grounds that it
reduced Gillespie county below tho consti-
tutional area of 900 square miles and it
did not appear also that the bill had passed
by n two-thirds vote.
The House refused to pas3 over the
Governor's veto the bill to authorize the
District Coura to Ruc land certificates in
certain cases.

2. In the same year he propasctl and
voted for theNidmission of Arkansas.
3. In 1830-7 he denounced and voted.)
'to reject petitions for the abolition of slavery
in the Districtiof Columbia. I t
4. In 1837 he voted for Mr. Calhoun's
famous resolutions defining' the" rights of
the States and the limits of Fedoral autho-
rity and aflirming it ro be the duty of tha
Government to protect and uphold the
institutions of the South.
5. In 1838-39 and '40 he invariably

consideration of anti-slavery petitions.
G. In 1844-45 he advocated and voted
for the annexation of Texas.
7. In 1847 he sustained the Clajton
Compromise.
8. In 1850 he proposed and urged the
extension of the Missouri Compromise to

9. But he promptly acquiesced in the
Compromise of 1850 and employed all his
influence in favor of the fajthful execution
of the Fugitive Slave Law
10. In 1851 he remonstrated against the
enactment of the Pennsylvania Legislature
for obstructing tho arrest and return of
fugitive slaves.
11. Tn 1854 ho negotiated for the acqui

12. In 1850 he approved the wponl of
the 3Iissouri restriction and supporu-d the
principles of the Kansas-Nebraska act.
13. Ho never gave a vow against the
interest of slavery.
The truth is that when we compare
Buchanan Jo Fillmore we compare .i friend
of the South with one who Jeaves Fremont
entirely in the shade for his support of
feeesoilism Fremont has not so long a
rocord of froesoil votes and speeches as
Millard Fillmore; be is young $u flic cause
and not half so trustworthy In fact as
ho hap played traitor to the South by allow
ing his name to go on tho Black Republican
ticket it is just as likely that ho would if
elected turn round and play tiaitor to the
men who should have elected him since
he is not-under half the pledges in favor
of freesoil 3 his present competitor Mr.
Fillmore.

At the request of many respectable mem-
bers of the Democratic party our colleague
Judge Oldham and Col. Sublett address-
ed a large audience at the Capitol on Wed-
nesday evening Jas upon the subject of
Squatter Sovereignty. '
These addresses were well rccoivod and
met wjth the cordial approval of the De-
mocracy. On our first page wo publish the speech
of Judge Oldham and commend it to the
careful attention of our readers. He de-
fends the platforms of our party adopted in
State and national conventions and enters
into a full examination of the wholo sub-
ject. None can fail to be satisfied of the
justice of our demand that every Southern
citizen has the right to carry his property
to United States territories until prohibited
by the poopla in their sovereign State ca-
pacity or while adopting a Constitution for
a State.
Senator rcarcc's tetter on tlac Presi-
dential Question.
James a Pearee a Senator of Maryland
has published in the National Iutelligencer
a letter addressed to J. B. Franklin Esq.
of Snow HillMd. in response to an in-
quiry from that gentleman as to what part
he means to take in the coining Paesiden-
tial election and what should be done by
old line Whigs whn havo never been at-
tached to any other party and who do not
desire to enter into new political connec-
tions. Mr. Pearee refers to the origin and
career of the American par.1- andjwhile he
does not object to .some of their designs he
disapproves of its peculiar characteristics.
He thinks further that the Northern wing
of the party came into it with purposes
very different from tho rest adopted it for
a cloak for their schemes and are now
mainly affiliated with the Republican party.
Mr. Pearee is an. Old Line Whig and
a great admirer of Mr. Fillmore but he
Joes not feftt that he would be discharging
his duty at the present crifis by following
his porsonal inclinations in giving him his
support. He believes that the defeat of
Fremoufis tho 'all-important object to be
accomplished and to effect that ho is con-
strained to give his support to Mr. Buch-

citizens to cany their property into the ter-
ritories Of the' United States but which
would be entirely Hefeated and destroyed
were a territorial legislature to havo the
power to prohibit such pioparry being intro-
duced. It is in view of the abiliy of the South
to exercise this right under the Constitution
that the democratic party of our State and
sister States -ustain the non-inteivention of
Congress and the other great national po-
sition that a territory can only fte the char-
acter of its domestic institutons when it
comes to form a Constitution preparatory
to admission as a State into the Union.
The South Vill never consent to place her
future destiny in tho hands of the North
so far as to admit any other doctrine set up
by the North. The right to cany our prop-
erty to territories it. self-evident To waive
it would be to admit an odious diatinotiou
in the nature of property. If flavo prop-
erty is the same a all other kinds of proper-
tv the tame protection ii duo to it und nj
far as the right of the people of n territory
to manage their own concerns ih involved
it is not necessary to divest citizen of
either hpecies of property nor oau the right
or power under the Constitution of the
United Stntt'3 be claimed by a territory to
do so. whether bv way nf prohibition of
slave propel ty or by any other injurious
discrimination. This lr a jiv and indis-
putable proposition.
Northern men ma hold the oppose doo-
taine because their premises are the anti-
podes of ours. They do not admif that we
have the .amo moral right tQ hojd property
in a clave a n a Ijorse. W1' V Some of
the most cqnseiy.iUyp elujrn fhaf wheiipver
the right ea he abrogated by a territorial
legislature it is thoir prerogative and duty
to do so.
Gen. Cass takes the ground that It is the
assertion of :i popular right to maintain that
slavery may be prohibited in this way. Did
we hold tho same doctrine of the evils of
slavery or of tho benefits of freo labor in
society wo might be led to define an odious
moral distinction in the nature of slave and
other property and maintain the Ca?J doc-
trine of the right of territories to exclude
tho one and protect the other. iut we do
not belie vo with Mr. Cass or any of his fol-
lowers in the North that slavery is an evil.
Wo believe it a positive good and we set
up no distinction iu tho righf of property
to our slave and any other property we may
hold.
Sinco Mr. Casa' explanation of his
Nicholson letter he has never been able to
express the true opinion of tho South upon
the slave question. Upon many other is-
sues national in charactei' we hold his
opinions iu high respect.
While however such Southern men as
Gen. Hamilton hold to the doctriue that
there can be no difference in sjave and oth-
er kinds of property it would seem their
first duty as representatives of tho demo-
cratic party to clenouneo all such gross as-
sumption of power whether it comes in the
flattering shape of popular rights or the
hellish deformity of Black Jlopublicanism.
The idea of " popular sovereignty " is a syren
song to the South when under its assertion
a territorial legislature from beginning to
end of its territorial existence may con-
stantly threaten the South with a prohibi-
tion of our slave property and keeping up
a continual agitation of the subject in all
the legislative elections alarm Southern
men for the safety of their slaves and ef-
fectually prevent the territory being settled
by them.
We have no confidence in tho sincerity
of Northern men when-they seek thus to
destroy Southern property uudor tho pre.
text of asserting the doctrine of "yyular
sovereignty." Why do wo not find them
equally jealous of other right of sovereignty ?
Why do they not espoune the doctrine that
the people of a territory should elect their
Governor ? their Secretary of State ? their
Attorney General? their Judiciary? Are
not these popular rights in a State ? Why
thfcmarked silence on thee questions?
Is everything to he centered in the eternal
cry of nigger ! nigoeu ! ! NIGGER 1 ! !
Is this to be the alpha and omega of popu-
lar rights? Well certainly then the South
will not be invited to the feast. They can-
not aid in drawing the cordon of free States
around them closer and closer until their
necks shall be broken by the cord !
The South demands and receives protec-
tion for her slave. property in United States
territory prior to tho erection ofa "territo-
rial government. This sho must continue
to expect after" Congress establishes that
"overnnient. Non-interference on her part
is alrcad' asserted. Until therefore a
Stale Government is ushered into existence
in- that territory with powers equal to the
rest of tluvStatesJu-the confederacy the
qnestion o slavery shall not bo1 determined
agaijjstthe South. y huo a spam' ot man-
hood remains in hex sons she willmever re-
linquish this righf.

ship Nautilup with several valuable lives

o'clock P. Mwith. the U. S. mails 30 pass-
engers 830000 in specie 100 horses aiid
70 head of cattle. She must have encoun-

of-&eautUuivhavingr been received at
N?w7OrIeani'-upJto'the.timo of the depart-
ure of jthe Perseverance it was set down as
pretty certain that she had been lost. The
Perseverance on her voyage to Galveston
explored the coast from Jhe mouth of the
Mississipi to Last B-land and found ample
testimonv to confirm the worst fears enter
tained of the fate of the Nautilus.
The shores were strewn with the bodies
of dead cattle and horses and many vesti-
ges of tho wreck were picked up. The
boat being painted lead color difi'erent
from any other on the coast the pieces
found were readily and certainly identified.
Door and other p.uts of the cabin and
stauneheons used for supporting the main
deck were among the vestiges found.
The following were among the peruiis
on board tho Nautilus and who wore lost.

THE TEU1ITBLE DISASTER.
TWO If TIEEI MVI MIST 1 1
Wean: in possebsion of all the particulars
of this dreadful calamity mi hnten to lay
them befoie our readers.
Last Island or Dernier Lit iu itu styled
in some of the older maof this State
says the Newf)rleans Qauricr liessome
miles off thccoasBof the parish oSKRrre-
bonne. It iilikejiost oMhe islaWds on
the Gulf coast of-Bouisianaand Mississippi
scarcely anything more thanfn sanoSbankJ
formed by apposing' curresvantlelCvated'
but a few feet above the level of the ea
withontjiny trees and swept by even- breeze
which passes. Its beach is magnificent and
its surf bathing unrivalled Eouth of Cape
May.
The waters abound in the.mo3tidelicious
oysters fish and groentuftle anil for many
years past it has boen a favorite resort or
the families of the planters of the neigh-
boring parishes who were willing in con-
sideration of its delicious air and bathing
to put up during their stay with rather in-diffen-nt
accommodation. Of late vears its
fame as a bathing place has rapi By extend-
ed and many planter have bought small
portions of ground and erected buildings
for their accommodation during their sum-
mer visits iu -earch of sea air surf bathing
and unrivalled fishing. But for the fact
that tbo title of the claimant of the whole
island was in dispute there can be no doubt
that there would have been much more ex-
tensive improvements and that n hotel ca-
pable of aecommodatinghundreclsof visitors
would have been built.
A correspondent of tho Crescent dating
his letter at Bayou Boluff Aug. 15 says :
As oil aro aw aro tbo w cather had beeu verv
stormy for a day or two previous to ftindav ami
it was particularly so in the neighborhood of this
ill-fated island; but on Sunday morning about 10
o'clock it bfgan blomngn ucrfrcfc hurricane from
the north-east and tho water began rising with
fearful rapidity breaking clean over the island.
In fifteen minutes from tho time tliat the wind
rose and the water began risine there was not a
siugle house on the island and all was n promis-
cuous wreck
The steamer Southern Star which wa3 anchor-
ed near was blown ashore and bilged and was
thus the means of saving those that wer saved ;
all who succeeded in getting to her were saed
while those who preferred taking their chances
on the island in preference to running the risk of
being blow;; out to sea on her perished.
Tho seeue that followed the tirstteinenduous gust
of wind I havo been informed beggars all de-
scription. One tremendous crj ofagonj wct up
and in five minutes naugnt was to he.Leard but the
howling of the winds at.d tho lahiug of the" waters
two hundred souls had perished in that short
time '
From what I can learn the force of the wind
must have exceeded anything on record. A gen-
tleman informed me that hoards and Iocs would
be torn from the houses and whirled through the
air like feathers ; men aud women were blown
down and thrown nbout until they were either
killed or stunned
This terrible tornado only lasted about four
hours and then subsided very rapidly the water
fell as rapidly as it had risen leaving dead bodies
of men women and children mixed promiscu-
ously with furnituro and debris from the fallen
bouses; in the meantime night came on with all
its norrors anu uotuing could be determined as to
the extent of the disaster until Monday morning
and the following named persons were positively
ascertained to have been lost:
Here follows a list of upwards of 100
persons nearly all of whom are Creoles of
Western Louisiana and .mong the firt
familios in the State
Tho oorresj ondent continues :
There are some incidents connected with this
awful affair which I cannot refrain from giving
you ; among them was the heroic conduct of Dr.
Bately's negro coachman. This truly faithful ser-
vant on the commencement of tho panio seized
cne of 1(13 master's children ana accompanied his
master and family to tho highest point of the
island; as soon as ho perceived tho wreck of the
Star he tried to persuade his master to go aboard
but without success and then he asked to be al-
lowed to take the child that he had in his arms
on board but his master sternly commanded him
to put tho child down ho reluctautly obeyed
but in a few miuutos seeing tliqt if he remained
where ho was that ho youfd inevitably perish ho
caught up one of 3Ir. Pugh's children nnd made
for tho wreck with it and succeeded in getting
there and was saved. He sajs that if Ids poor
master had permitted him he would havti saved
his whole family.
One of Mr. Pugh's sons behaved like a hero
and throughout the trying time assisted his father
in saving bis brothers and sisters with 83 much
foresight coolness and intelligence as n man bred
to battle with tho elements.
Mr. and Mrs. Foley were seen to bo curried
away on the crest of a breaker locked up in each
others arms aud thus they died as tbey hail lived
together.
Hon. W. W. Pugh's appearac on his arrival
at this place was indeed truly heart-rending his
hair was rqattcd with blood nnd salt water and
bad changed its hue 3 bad his beard. lie was
pale and emaciated and in bit arms ho held with
a convulsive grasp the dead body of bi3 infant the
only one out of seven which he had not been per-
mitted by an AllwUe Providence to save. His
conduct is said to have been perfectly chivalrous ;
indeed all that could be expected of a man of his
exalted character.
The Truo Delta gives us additional partic-
ulars :
Mr. Desire LeBlanc of Napoleonville partic-
ularly distinguished himself in going to tho as-
sistance of ladies nnd child-en at the risk of bis
own life "We havo heard his manly nnd heroic
conduct highly spoken of by many tif the surviv-
ors On Monday when the waters commenced sub-
tiding Mr Miller pilot of the Star Mr. John Da-
vis oy ster seller aud another man were despatch-
ed in a small boat to Barwicks Bay to seen aid.
Tho sufferers in the meantime left the wreck and
roamed over tho dry parts of the Island in search
of the dead bodies 6f relatives andjfrieuds. 8uch
as wee recognized were interred and marks
placed oertheirgraves to assist in finding them
hereafter. A number of fishermen were "prowl-
ing. ibout picking the pockets of tho dead. One
was seen taking a gold watch from the pocket of
J. C.Ueatty wnose body was lecogmzed. It is
supposed that Mr. Hoci'll had on hi? person at
the timo of his death about $ 1000.
The provisions of the hotel had been saved and
the survivorsdid not suffer with hunger. Boxes
of merchandise were floating about and most of
tho suuerers helped themselves to red tlannel
shirts. When taken aboard the Major Aubrey
few oi them bad shoes and none had hats or bon-
nets. Most of them had red flannel or coarse
handkerchiefs tied around their beads.
It is supposed that about two hundred lives
were lost. The sun ivors havo been able to name
about one hundred and seventy missing. About
two hundred persons.it is behVvcd survived.
A correspondent of the New Orleans
Courier of the 20th inst. says :
It would be uninst to close this melancbr.lv ac
count without referring to the heroic conduct of
Capt. hmitn ot tbo JLast Island packet btar by
whose exertions regardless of all that related
to his own safety many lives were preserved.
Secured by a rope to his wrecked boat the noble fel-
low grappled with death upon his own ground
for each life that he rescued.
A large number also owe their saferv to Mr
E. Millu of the Island. Fifty of the survivors I
am told were sheltered in his house until Monday
morning when ther joined the company at the
Star.
Sinco the above was written Capt M. Schlater
and Mr. T. Mills havo been rescued from some
point in the vicinity of Grand Caillou whither
tbey hal drifted on a door. 'They were greatly
weakened and exhausted by exposure and hard-
snip oui oy me attention ot their f ncmla they will
doubtle? 3 be placed in a safe condition. ' . ...
