MADISON COUNTY WHIG, WEDNESDAY, ^AfJGUST^U^ 5? §£5 THB I>AT-S DISASTER. Bvn-ttlna; or the Henry Clay.

I t is impossible' for tis to' '(rive the' details, but the folloTving hy Lloyd M'mturn, Esq., with the Verdict^of the jury, wll give a fair idea of the •whole, tho way things were managed on board previous to the disaster, and the consequences that followed, closing with such a frightful loss,of life. Lloyd Minium, sworn—I livo in Astoria; I am a native of New York, but have lived in California. I was a passenger from Alba ny on tho Clay on the 28th ulL; I came from Troy on that morning, expecting to take the Roiiidjer, in company with Mr. Harris, whose card I havo seen in the papers; I saw the Clay tlicTe and look her in proforence to the Armenia, believing her to be the better bout : there »as_ an unusual excitement on the part- of the runners, more than usuai.— I did not notice any extraordinary excitement ohboard'hnliT we passed \Kingston—the Ar menia barely touched the landing—after a while they began to draw together and come in collision—I remarked to the barkeept r that it was Tuecally, meaning the collision, in crowding the Armenia so near the shore—so did marjv others—he replied, \Darnm her, let her keep out of our way then \—my a- larm was great although I am not easily alarmed on board boats. I would here re mark that I am not concerned in any boat—I went to dinner where T staid but a short Lime^j when I returned to the deck, nepr the pilot honse, the heat was HO intense that I could not rem un. It was hotter than I ever before perceived it on any other boat, anoVThare travelled in many boats in all parts of the world; at. Bristol the landing was ran; there were sevorul persons, among whom was John Spencer, who said be would prosecute the company as soon as be> got to New York; d ring the race Mr. Collyerjras particularly excited—he took mors charge of the boat than any other person; I did not see Mr. Coll- yer officiating at the landing; Mr; Colder manifested his excitement by goi n g to his friends Messrs. Harris and Ridder; he talked wi h them nboot the race, and walked to and fro u/he mljt honse. I remarked (o him that I thought it was outrageous; he replied as asual, that there was no danger. I did nut see much of th e clerk; the barkeeper and the crew were particularly excited—many di JI'; S were taken nl the bar, congratulatory of tho success of the Henry Clay by the hands.on_LQ.ird ; the bar was on the larboard side; tbi'y drank to the success of the Henry Clay, and to her having passed the Armenia. There were a lot of waiters .and one of :h?m remark d that he wanteJ to gef well^ forward b. r or the boiler burst. They were hlaca men with their coats oil and I supposed them to be waiU-rs. A short time before the fire it was said by many—\What a dreadful thing a fire would bo on such a crowded boat,\\ I was setting on the larboard side leaning with my right arm towards the boiler. The grating was immediately under. My atten tion was atracted (I would hers remark that this was iost apposite Forrest Point) by see- in; a light smoke issuing from the grating over the furnace room; I then sprang to the grating and was convinced tbtt the boat was on fire; I then saw a man pass a bticke'. of water which was thrown upon it; this was bofore the alarm ol fire was given, at the same time two other men came with two buckets, and with them I formed a line to get water, hut as it had to be got from the river we could not get much and the fire increased, s owe-abaodomed it; about this time an or der w a men by the barkeeper to all g o af», BURNING OF IHE HEiTRY CLAY.

It was four minutes, I am po?itiY£._f_ron tbe_nroe the a- larm was given before she was turned ; she h.id gone full a mile on her course ; she was going at the rate of tti-enty miles per hour; her revolutions had been taken but a short time before, the forward deck was crowded, nnd all was silent as death, no order was giv en by anv of the officers until just before she t-irwck, 1 did not srp anv of them there. At the tiin» of her striking I was looking over from the promenade deck, bolh forward and stern.

W o are gnw nhont to e.xcrcisc Jhis great privilage.— The call for the Whig State Convention at Syracuse on the 22nd of next month should be fhe signal note for instant aud thorough or ganization. The duties of the Convention will be performed to tho universal satisfaction of the party. It will in due time present a state ticket headed b y Washington Hunt.- This we consider a foregone conclusion. The importance of strong State and strong local, tickets demands die dispassionate atten tion of every Whig.' Ordinarily it is expect ed that they will fall behind the Presidential ticket; that they will get fewer votes. They are at times drawbacks to it Bat this year, there is not the slightest reason for such an event Not that Gen. Scott will not receive the full Whig vote of the State. We are con fident that he will get it and more. Bnt it is only by means of the State and County nominations, that we can to the fullest extent take legitimate advantage of the fends n the opposition ranks, and make a decisive nse of our vantage\ ground as friends of the Canals. These advantages, if seized upon and pressed into our service by the nomination of the men for the time and the office, warran 1 the belief that tho ordinary Whig vote can tlits year be greatly increased, in part by for mal accessions fi om the other great party, but much more by getting to the polls the sta'y-nt^ homes—a class manj\ thousand strong.

I shall not' dwell on his military exploits.— There is a record here that Bpeoks louder than words. If none of you know what he has done, yon have to travel but a few short steps from hence, and yon will find yourselves standing on that soil where .hp spilt his blood in defence of the rights aud honor cf his coun try, and turning back the current of adversity which had then well nigh dispelled the cour age of tho nation. There is no man whose partisan feelings carry bim so far a s t o call in question the devotion and loyalty to America of a man who has exposed hi& life for more than forty years on occasions of most trying interest, as Winfield Scott has done. In re spect to his qualification and fitness for the discharge of the duties of a high office, I can most confidently and conscientiously adopt all that has been said by the gentleman who pre sided over this assembly. In all my~fong and intimate experience of him, I may say that I have never yet met a man more sincerely and ardently devoted to the welfare of his country —a man more scrupulously just—a man of higher honor and a greater favorite in all the relations of life, and a man who feels more deeply than he the responsibility-and obliga tions which devolve upon him whenever he assumes the discharge of an official trust whatever that trust may be. (Cheers.) I shall not dwell longer on the virtues of Winfield Scott He is before his countrymen, and it is for the people of this country to de cide on the question at issue before them and on the candidates. I hope that all our people will exercise this riarht iindurstaiidiiicly and candidly, with a right sense of the obligation which rest on them as citizens of a common country; and whatever the results may be, whether favorable to my personal' views and inclinations or not, J will submit, to as the ex pressioD of the popular will of the country, and whatever may betide us—whatever may be the political fortunes of the day—that we arc American citizens, and that we will move steadily on with our stars and stripes asour flag, and maintain those principles of right and libertv, and those free institutions which we inherit from our ancestry. In conclusion, Gov. Hunt extended a welcome, in the name of the State of New York, to the numerous representatives from other States whom hp saw around him. Hon.

The opposition Governor is elected, being personally highly popular the Legislature is Whig or a tie. These results nre more favorable thnn wns anticipated They prove that I.owa will go for Scott, nnd North Carolina acts only as she did in 18-18, when she chose a Loco Governor in August, nnd in November gave Gen Tay lor 0,000 majority. The opposition should not feel so bad be cause the Whigs eelebrnted the victory of Lundy's Lane Eight years ago they cele brated the Rattle of Oriskany, memorable for a signal defeat of our arms. As long as they celebrate our defeats, it is very natural and proper that they should calumniate the Whig**) for celebrating our Victories. As long as Whig Generals will win battles, so long their friends will celebrate them.
