the readers imagination. For one hour
and three quarters she continued humping
heavily without making any water, the sea
however breakisg continually over her.
| Her ruGder was now knocked of, and the
Capt. ordered her main mast TO be out a.
| way. The boats were then cleared, the
long boat hoisted out, and veered away un-
der her bows with stout hawser, for the
purpose of filling it with passengers, letting
it drift within reach of the people who
crowded the beach, then hauling her back
again, and thus saving the unfortunate pco-
pie, but this intention was frustrated by
the parting OF the hawser, which snapped
like thread as soon as the boat was expo
sed to the heaving surf. The yawl was
next got along side, and stove TO peices al
most Instantly. At O'Clock the same NOR
ming, the ship bliged, and filed with water.
Orders followed frrm the Capt. 10 cut a.
way the foremost; and that every saul on
board should come on deck.-ln inexpressi-
bic agony they thus remained until four o.
clock in the afternoon, when boat was
launched from the beach, and succeeded in
getting under the bowsprit of the wreck.
This boat took off Capt. w. and 7 men,
and succeeded in reaching the shore with
them in safety. The attempt however was
attended with such imminent danger, that
none could be induced TO repeat it. And
now, the horrors OF the scene we're indiscri-
ba ble. Already had the suferings Of the
unhappy beings being such as 10 surpass
belief. From the moment of the disaster,
they had hung round The Captain, covered
with their blankets thick set with ice, I'M
poring his assistance and asking il hope
was still left TO them. When they preceiv-
ed that no further help came from the land,
their piercing shrieks were distinctly heard
at considerable distance, and continued
through the night until they one by one
persisted. The next morning the bodies of
many of the unhappy creatures were seen
lashed to different parts OF the wreck, i'm
bedded in ice. None, it is believed, were
drowned but all frozen TO death.
Ii is but justice To The people on shore, 10
say that every thing which humane beings
could accomplish 10 save The uniortunaIes,
was done that their means permitted. The
only boat which boarded the vessel was
hauled distance OF ten miles and was
manned by an old man and six others, four
or FIVE OF whom were the old mans sons s.
grand sons. For ihriy-fve years has he
been living On the sea shore, during which
he has rendered assistance 10 numerous
wrecks, and never before, had he or his
comrades shrunk from the serf; but in i'd
dition to its violence on the present occa-
sion, such was the extreme cold, that Sec
cond attempt 10 rescue was more than they
dared venture; it would have inevitably
proved fatal 10 them.
The following are the names OF the per-
sons saved;
Captain Winslow.
VIM. Broom, lad, brother Of the ow-
ner.
Two Sea men and the Cook.
Richard Hynes,
John W God.
The boat put off from the vessel without
Richard Hynes, but he sprung from the
bowsprit and was drawn from The sea by
hose in the boat.
PERisHED IN ALL, ONE HUNDRED AND
EIGHT SOULS.

Websler's elementary book, with the help
OF agents traversDg the country in all d.
reclions, 10 decry the work and introduce
others. his book continues TO be used in a i
the United States, and is more used than
any oilers. And il is probable, that as
some Of the trespa isers on his rights are al
ready punished others are destined TO be
| punished in like manner, by neglect.
But what shall we say TO such state OF
the languagei What is the English Ian
guagei Where shall we find iii No two
wrirers, either in Great Britain or the
United States, are agreed either in the or
typography or pronunciation. This year
pupils in school are instructed in one mode
Of spelling; the next year in another. Pu-
pills who have been taught the common
modern spelling in their first years, are
afterwards doomed to read books with the
old spelling. There is no uniformity in
books or instructions.
Thus perplexed, those who superiniend
schools, have, IN some towns, determined
10 use Webster's elementary spelling book
and his dictionary permanently, as his
books are most approved by our colleges,
and most generally in common schools
throughout the United States. Certain it
is, that no other elementary books can be
introduced into such general use no not
in half a century.
Mr.. Webster has devoted the greatest
part OF his lille to the improvement of the
English language. His philosophical and
practical grammar, is perhaps the best-his
elementary spelling book, from the first TO
the last edition, has been the best in the
language for Sd years; the public call has
said SO, and has been the means, perhaps,
OF producing a greater number OF copies
than was ever printed Of any other book, in
any other language. More than half a
million copies, as is understood, is now
called for yearly-indeed most Of our ma
tive citizens now living, have been taught
the first rudiments Of learning from his
spelling book.
And what was needed for this Nation,
destined as we thought il is, Cor a great
one, he has furnished, viz: complete lexi-
con, or the most comprehensive dictionary
Of the language. 1t is also truly national,
in giving American words and terms pecu-
liar to our country.
Maybe always receive well of his country.

Alone he wept. That very night
The ambassador Of God with earnest zeal
OF cloquence had warned him to repcnti
And like the Roman at Drusilla's side.
Hearing the Truth he trembcd. Conscience wrought
Yet sin allured. The struggle shook him sore,
The dim lamp wanedi the hour Of midnight tolPd
PRAYER sought for entrance but the heart had closed
Its diamond valve. He threw him on his couch
And babe the the spirit Of his God depart.
But there was within him, and he sighed
E" Depart not utterly, thou Blessed
Return when youth is passed, and make my soul
forever thine
r. With kindlng brow he trod
THE haunts of pleasure, while the VOLS voice,
And beautys smile, his joyous pulses woke.
10 love he knelt, and Oh his brow she hung
Her freshest myrtle wreath. For gold he sought
And winged wealth INDUCED him, till the world
Pronounced him happy. Manhood's vigorous prime
Sweed to its climax, and his busy days
And restless nights swept like tide away.
Care struck deep root around him, and each shoot
Still striking carthward'ke the Indian tee,
Shut gu; with woven shades the eye Of heaven,
When To- message from the Cfuched-
"Look unto me and i've" Pausing, lie spake
OF WEAKNESS and haste, and want Of time,
And duty to his children, and besought
a longer space to do the work of heaven.
God spakc again when age had shed its snow
On his wan temples and the palscd hand
Shrank from gold gathering. But the rigid chain
Of habit bound him. and he still lmplorcd
"a more convenient season."
"See my step
Is firm and free my unquenched eye delights
TO view this pleasant world and fife with me
MAY last for many years. In the calm hour
OF lingering sickness, can better fit
For vast eternity"
Disease approached,
And reason fled. The maniac strovc with death,
And grappcd like fond, with shrieks and cries,
Till darkness smote the cyebals, and thick ice
Closed in around his heart. strings. The poor clay
Lay vanquished and distorted But the soul
The soul whose promised season never came
To hearken to his Makers call, had gone
To weigh his suferancc with his own abuse
And bide the audit.

alton of Texas would involve the u
States in a war with Mexico a. this
time, the undersigned is at loss to
perceive why similar result was no,
anticipated with Spain in the even,
OF! cession of Texas by Mexico.
Texas asked nothing more of tho U.
States in proposing to negotiate for
|her annexation than the United
States had previously desired of
Mexico, when General Jackson was
lat the head of this Government; for
Mexico was then as much at war with
Spain as Texas now is with Mexico:
and it is believed that as friendly trea.
tyand commercialrelations existed be-
tween Spain and the United States a
that time as are now maintained
between the United States and Mexi-
co.
In addition to the fact thatthis Gov
vernment when administered by the
sage ofthe Hermitage proposed the
acquisition of Texasby purchase from
Mexico many years before the rocog-
milton of her independence by Spain
he undersigned most respectfully
invites the attention Of the honorable
ne Secretary ofState to the report off

state of Mississippi contained in a
newspaper which he herewith pre- i

The Undersigned was aware that

taken into consideration by the Gov.

with aproper understanding of the
settled policy of this Governmen, in
similar cases that the claim of Texas
to the justice of a recognition was
placed by his colleague and himself
upon her actual existence as an indie.
pendent Power, and the impossible.
iy of a reconquest at the hands off
Mexico. Although by the issue
efthat negotiation the question of
fact was satisfactorily determined il
was not deemed inappropriate, az
