AH Haa!-Ths T.OO POliss Aaoat..

Among the numerous aGlt hGilsp Of late
 and we have had q hG1 stOrna," none gives
 us more qualification than the information
 contained in the following Letter from OuE l The release ofthe i" Two PclIies'' from her 1 long perilous position, is in our opinion a mere prelude to the escape of hundreds from the mud and quick sands fin which fhev have been plunged-the moral is plain one-we hope it will not be lost. t7f.fI T7F
 l ON BOARD THE Two PoLLTEs, 19 7 ROckGscGy, L. 4. NoU. II, l637 q 1 To the Editors ot Ese W. Y. Daily Express ra' GENTLEMEN :-I thank you for sendin me the papers regularly y-but haint had time to write to you now for some time. ga 1, believe my last letter tell'd you about the condition of Uncle Sam and his buttons, but am not sartin.
 have now the satisfaction to tell you and you may tell it to all creation-that the '" TtoO Pollies" iS G5fOGt, and this is nigh upon the way it come about. Some weeks ago got letter from Uncle Joshua, tellin me to keep sharp lookout on the tides along a. bout the beginnin of November-that they had had plagy high one down there in Maine and shortly before that there was a considerable rise in Rhode Island, and it would sartinly be the same GN along shore-- and accordin to his kalklation, there would be real rOuser along by York State some where from the first to the middle of this month that if ever expected to git the " Two Pollics' of, this was the time to keep Q sharp look k-out, for Congress had done no- thin to help at the last session and might not at the next. And sure enuf, on the 9th, jest at sunrise, it began to rise, and every follow in tide kept goin leetle beyond the last one; and by sundown of the Sth-" The glorious 6th Nouember'-the Two Pollies begun to lift out, of the sand, and roll-and to rights up she come on an even keel and swung off to her anker, which had been run out into deep water. l @ol
 The next mornin the folks begun to gather along shore, and every Twin critter who could gitsof, all come on board-and such a time as we had there for spell, I kalklate haint been seen for many a day on board vessel, sound as ever in her hull, but wantin spars, sails, and riggin. My old friend Zekel Bige- loao, was among the visitors, and nothin would do but he must deliver an address to the folks--and he is, you know, complete hand at that-and so up he got on the wind lass, and did pore it oaa ihere for about half an hour, most awful. He stood like teapot, one arm kimbo and to1her spouting g-and sich stream! there was no gittin by it, He thanked eperybody and euerything, that had any hand in gittin the Two Pollies off shore he said the same cause would lift more folks out of the mud than we had any notion on-for that the Two Pollies was not the only object that had been run on shore by the wickedness, and the ignorance and selfish ness of some folks, and when he come to speak of them folks, and tell hO,O and sohy all this trouble had been brought on the country en- tirely by their Dickedness, their ignorance, and their aoilfulness, he just took up his swill tub and emptied the hull scrape ont right over ike ike. n's'i A ny D''A
 Arter this address was over, we all gave ihree times three good hearty cheers, and the Two Polies, she rolled from side to side. like a good natured laughter, first one scupper in and then tother, just as though she was takin part ill the fun; and which she had a right to do. %
 The Two Pollies, as said afore, is sound in her hull, and ali her ground tackle is as good as ever |; but she wants refittin, and as yet, am leetle puzzled to know which. port to carry her to for an outfit. Some think she ought to be rigged on a nec plan, and that convention of riggers' is to meet in New York on the 27th of this month, to fix upon plan for riggin vessels generally This being the case don't know but it is best to take the Two Pollies to New York and let them all take look at her, and then decide. must say, haint got much confidence in any !" ,sep rig" especially if it has any thing like an experiment. about it-all know a. bout it is. the Two Pollies was n clipper in her day, and with the rig she had, and unless | am sarting that change will be best, wont give my consent. As the Two Pollies was never abandoned to the underwriters by the owners, who are all of the "lont giue Mp the shap'''' order-there wont be any trouble on that Scorn-hut mora of thiS in my next.
 We'll, now about the late elections. What in natnr has got into folks! What has be- come of ]" the pariy 2" Do tell, now-I want to know!!! I have hearn tell of" knocking folks into tho middle of next week"-but if the news got is one halftrue, you wont find some folks for good many weeks to come :" Sich c gitten up stairs-(as they say down in Georgia)-I never hearn on afore-why it seems to me, them plagy Wings have hoed o,a tother party completely, and not left enuf for seed. Iaa as @ 5s ,r@, ..., t.o-. sf...,,
 hear tell you arc goin to have a jollifica- tion on this matter on the 22nd inst.--I must git the Two Pollies up to town by that time if possible. and take hand in it-but hope it will beone of that kind that will do more good than epil Now I'll tell you what my notion is about it, and what for one nseGn tO do---I mean to make a kalklation of what 1t would cost to illuminGte the biggest house QfI had one) in the city-then would, instead of spendin this money in this way, jist lay it by till the winter comes, and either take it my self or give it to a ward committee 10 buy wood or coal for such families as by misfor- tun are snfferin and destitute-I would make no distinction of party. but ,rhefeuer there were found sufferin women and children there would go in and make an iHunsinGti0n ill their stoves or fire places, this is the kind
