where she found men, women. and chill

them il was no time to pray now, tina
they ought TO have attended to tho be

the upper deck, where she exhortec
them to take care OF themselves. The
boiler deck was entirely deserted save
by a few, who, frantic, held on to the
stanchions and posts 10 resist the wash
of the sea. Atlenglh the vessel struck,
and every light was extInguished by
the sea that carried her against The
rocks. 1t was terrible darkness.-
They could hear and feel one another,
and the voice ofprayer and beseeching
was heard abo We the noise of the temp
est. At this time 1t was not known
that two Of the boats crew had so M
raculously reached shore when the boat
first struck, and they supposed wat
cry grave was inevitably to be their
fate, as the boat was then dashing
against the cliff with tremendous vio-
lence, and expected every moment &c
sink. But light was seen at the top
of the cliff, and goice was heard to
say, ia rope! rope!" 1t was snatch
ed 5y many trembling hand, but only
one man, and he the lightest, was al
lowed first to be drawn up, as the rope
was small, less than half an inch in d.
ameter. So, one after another, all were
drawn up, wet, chilled, and much bruis-
ed and exhausted. How many we're
lost it was impossible to tell, as they
seated in every direction as soon as
rescued. Some enquired for friends
which could not be found. An elderly
man said he staid with his wife in a
state-room below, she being unable to
get above, until he was afraid to stay
any longer, when he left her, and had
not heard of her since.
"One Of the passengers reports that
when the gangways and trunks were
washed away, he was standing on the
stairs, and actually saw seven persons
60 overheard. Another reports see
ing only one, who was Young man,
and at the time was standing with his
trunk in his hands. Others say none
were lost; but the probability is, amid
such darkness, confusion and terror, no
one knows much about it. The worst
will be known in a few days"

We see il stated that the demand for girls to work
in the Lowell factories Is so great in consequence
of the increasing business Of he fall and the pros

fore rejolced to see the commencement
OF the discussion, and hope that it will
be conducted in manner to elicit truth.
Ifso conducted its effect will be good.
1t will lead the public mind to reflect
ON our social condition, and to seek oui
and finally apply remedy TO the evils
of our social organization.
One of the principal questions involv-
ed in this discussion is the monopoly oi
land. 1t is full of interest, and requires
a thorough investigation.
The celebrated French monarch who
sald, 81 wish that every peasant in
France might 5ave a fowl ia his pot on
onrdays," though much praised for the
benevolenceof his wish, hardly meets
the expectations and desires Of the
present generation. We think that he
might have expanded his benevolence
and wished that every peasantln France
might be freeholder; for then the peas
ant would have had both the freehold
and the fowl, not only upon Sundays.
but upon every other day of the week.
The peasant then would have been in
dependent, and free from the cares and
anxleties of starvation, which, the mon
arch's wish shows, was constantly star
ing him in the face.
We therefore wish that every Amer
lean citizen might be freeholder. We
would like to see the broad expanse OF
this fertile country cut up into farms Of
one or two hundred acres. and every
farm neatly titled by an industrious
farmer. Our citizens would be hap
pier and more independent, and this
great valley of the Mississippi would
soon become the garden and gran
ary OF the world. The "schemina
speculator" would not be seen about
the time of an election attempting to
bribe and influence his tenants, nor
would he be seen expressing those who
refused to comply with his wishes
The weak and sickly and broken con-
s,itutions of crowded manufacturing
districts would vanish from our land.
and we would have the upright walk
and slalwart arm, the strength and Wig
or of manhood.
We hardly know how this is TO be
accomplished, unless we put stop To
the monopoly ofland iu the hands OF the
rich. Under the present order of things.
a few SPECTATORS with ten thousand
acres OF land in each county are able TO
keep up the price of lands above their
actual value. Thus men who would
add millions annually to the wealth OF
our State, are unable to purchase, and
are driven into the wilderness OF the
far West.
We rejoice then that the land mon
opoly has become subject of discus
sion among the aohigs. and hope that
remedy will be pointed out by which
to correct this acknowledged evil.

The following from the New Lisbon Patriot in
regard to the organization of Democratic State
Conventions hereafter,in Ohio, we heartily accord
with:
ONO DEMOCRATIC STATE Conventions.
We refer to this subject now only for the purpose
of again reieraing hope that henceforth our
Democratic Nominating State Conventions will
be organized in manner different from those
which have heretofore assembled. Justice no less
than the harnonv of the party loudly call for an
alteration Let every county in the State-near
and remote--have voice ia these conventions
which shall be ~ exact proportion to the number
OF democratic votes ID actually polled at the next
preceding general eIection.-.hansjfeid Shield and
Banner.
We 60 a little further than that. and that Is for
each Congressional District to nominate its own
delegate to the National Convention. We hope
that these reforms will be adopted and strictly
ried out One delegate for each Representative,
by Districts, in State Convention might be enough
to record the expressed will of the people, Ohio
Statesman.
We are decidedly in favor of some plan Of hold.
ing our State Conventions that will put to rest the
chickering's and jeaousies of any portion Of the
democratic party. As suggested by the Statesman,
90 one delegate for each Representative, by Dis.
tricts, in State Convention" will probably express
the will Of the people well as any other plan that
can be adopted. We are also decidedly in favor
ofeach Congressional District nominating its ''own
delegate to the National Convention"

The " New York Sun" Indignantly rebukes the
following sentiment, which escaped from the lips
OF Daniel Webster in his recent speech at Boston:
'' The natural Justice Of tcar, il is perhaps, not
an american habit TO consider. But il is an Amer
ican habit to count the cost"
1t seems that Mr.. Webster will never be able 10
appreciate the true character Of his countrymen.
He thinks they are more accustomed to count the
cost, than the natural justice Of the contest! He
pays them the same miserable compliment that he
paid them IN the wat of eighteen hundred and
twelve hen he counted the honor and rights Of
his country as nothing, and the money as every
thing. Then, when she was in want of means to
carry on the war. he refused to vote the supplies
hoping that their economy would overcome their
patriotism, and sacrifice the administration Of
James Madison at the shrine of actious party. In
this speech, he considers Mr.. Polk subject to
impeachment. x Far more does the man deserve
impeachment before the tribunal Of his country
who expresses the unworthy sentiment which he
has here advanced. He did not know the Ameri-
cans in eighteen hundred and twelve;---nor does
he know them no,D However desirable il 70 TO
have cur government economically administered,
vet the rights and honor OF our country are of
more account even than dollars and cents. II IT
be by these exclusive appeals to the purse that Mr.
Webster expects to raise his party to power, or 10
raise himself TO their head he will fare as he did
thirty years ago-ail in defeating the war, as well
as fail in promoting himself

SAN JUAN D. ULLOA.

We almost daily hear persons ask
ing why Commodore Conner does not
take the Castle ofSan Juan d'UIloa, as
it was an affair easily accomplished.
They denounce the administration, for
not ordering an attack to be made, and
derlde the officers of the Navy for their
back wardness in the matter. We are
inclined to think, that no one out of a
hundred Of those who clamor for de-
scent upon San JUAN would like to be
on board one of the vessels that moor
ed within gun-shot of this formidable
castle. Itis, undoubtedly, at this time,
one Of the strongest iortresses IN the
world. The correspondent of the Bal
timore American says there is moGel
of the castle in the office Of the Chief
Engineer Department. 1t is very
thorough piece of work, and seems to
have brought all who have examined il
10 the conclusion that it would be al
most wanton waste of life TO attempt
to take San Juan. There is compe-
tent scientific as well as numerical force
within, TO defend it, and the artificial
means of defence are, among many 9TH
