those who found her into New Bedford. 1t is stated
thai, the vessel has three or four feet water in the hole
the Captains trunk broken open, and other marks o
violence about her. The cargo seems to be entire and
untouched.
Ofcourse, here, where the Captain and Mate resided
and where the vessel was owned, the most seriou,
apprehensions are entertained as TO the fate Of the off
GERS. The whole affair is, however, as yet wrapped up
in mystery. We wait for further developments.

The tone in which the Postmaster General
is assaied for his energetic efforts 10 enforce
the law Of the land, is an indication that the as
sailants are themselves aware Of the impregna-
bic ground upon which he stands. Personal
abuse is never the weapon Of truth.
1t is hardly TO be presumed that the editors
who attack the Postmaster General, are igno-
rant of the law governing he Post Office De-
partmcnt. Why assail him for executing the
law as he finds itQ Why abuse the Depart
ment, as though is officers had the power TO
change the law, or could be justified TO the
country in permitting its violation?
The Iap says, you shall not cvade the pay

Postmaster General found, on coming into
office, TO be existing TO an almost incredible ex-
tent. He took prompt measures to correct the
evil. A hue and cry was raised, and the Post
master General was denounced by the law
haters but the law-abiding community at once
understood his motives, and applauded his en-
gy, and the Judiciary sustained him,
The lao says, that mail-catrers, contrac-
tors aud sage drivers, shall not carry out Of the
mail any letter, newspaper, or package, sealed or
unsealed, unless to be delivered at the next post
Office, under penalty of $50 for each ofleLce.
The lar requires every master or captain OF
a steamboat, or other vessel, and all persons
employed in such boat or vessel, promptly to de
liver letters and packets at the post Office of the
place where they arrive, under severe penalties.
The latc forbids the setting up Of foot or
horse post, and the conveyance of letters by a
stage or other vehicle on post route, or on a
road parallel thereto, embracing the running on
mail routes Of private expresses for the trans

Kennebec district by about 1900 majority-Whig

1900 J.! If the remaining towns have gained in pro-
portion, Freeman H. Morse, true whig, is elected.
The majority against him in September was 2iO3!
But even this is not all. In the Hancock district,
where the loco majority has been 1000, the wing
candidate is ahead in thirty towns heard from, and
hopes are entertained of his elcction And in the

MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION.

The Old Bay State is right side up once more.
The election which took place last week, resulted
in wing gain of about 5000 votes since last fall,
and the consequent complete overthrow of locofo-
ism. The vote for Governor is as follows:

The Legislature is wing in both branches In
the Senate the wings have IL and the locos 6. In
the House the wings have l7G and the locos 1875.
In many towns where there is no choice the second
effort will undoubtedly result in increase of the
wing majority in the House. George N. Briggs
will therefore be chosen Governor of Massachu-
sets the first of January next, and every branch
Of the state government in wing hands.
Mr.. Grinncll (whig) is elected to Congress from

THE FAREWELL.
Yesterday afternoon. the Patriot Sage, John O.
Adams, babe farewell TO our city.
AT a O'Clock, the Astronomical Society waited up
on him at the Henric House, and escorted HIM on
board the good steamer Ben Franklin, SO generous
ly rendered him by Strader d German.
The la ndiDg was thronged. The decks Of all tho
boats lying near the steamer which to bear him
away, were compact with human beings. The wi l.
dows Of the houses adjoining the quay were full,
and all were eager to see once more the good old
ere he left u.s. and TO hear his parting blessing
And that blessing he gave. While the crowd
pressed thickly around the steamer, he appeared on
the guard, and when the warm cheers with which he
was received had died away, he thus spake to the
people -
have not the power to speak as to be heard
by the multitude now see, and must ask those
who hear me to report 10 the others what say,
Last Wednesday, the day / entered Cincinnati,
was one OF the hsppiest OF my lle this the day Of
my departure from among you, is one OF the sad
dest.
Language fails me to express what feel at the
kindness have received; and now that l am about
TO part from you, perhaps for ever, this continued
manifestation OF that kindness oVerwhelms me.
Can only offer you my best, warmest thanks, and
pray for you and your pIsterlIy, as do, the bles
sing Of God. Farewell
The scene was solemn. There was deep still
ness in that stirring mart of business, while Mr.. Adj
ans spoke. Every one seemed to eel as 1t he stood
in the presence OF a holy man, and as II It were
good for them, and for the country, 10 receive his
blessing.
liz IN city and copntry with q peculiar brancy,
and as the ste moved from the landing, and the
voice of the multitude itself began to move, and the
deem mouthed cannon poured out Its farewell salute,
we iet as il nature and man had united to pay their
best and highest tribute of respect TO the nOblest
work Of God-an honest man.
Tins came, and thus departed, the venerable pa
tTiO', John Quincy Adams
