favorable state Of things in our legisla-

The next number will be devoted to
the further consideration of this subject
of legislative elections. 1t is too ex-
tensive to be compressed within the
bounds of one Of these essays. Fellow
Citizens, if there is truth in mathema-
tics, it is true, that our institutions are in
many respects defective. We can a.
mend them. Then, unless we can sit
down contented under the operation Of
admitted evils, unless we deny the
truth of the maxim, that advancement
and Improvement are laws of human
nature, instituted by Heaven, we must
have Convention to amend our Con-
stitution. Most respectfully, &c.

THE CLOSE OF THE THIRD VOLUME

ate time to address to our patrons and
the democracy of Monroe county gen.
orally, few words. But lndisposition
will prevent US from SO doing. This
much, however, we will say. We
mast have more subscribers! There
are one thousand democrats in this
county who are able and who ought to
take our paper; yet had we to depend
on the actual receipts from the paper
alone, for living and for money to pay
our hands, we would not be able to
publish our paper a year longer. Is
not this curious state of affairs in
county containing very nearly fve
thOusond male inhabitantsoyer the age
of 81 years.
Some of our subscribers are now in
debted TO us for three years subscrip-
ton, and according to our terms justly
owe US nine dollars; but we are dispos-
ed to be lenient, and if any one, thus
indebted, will pay us sic dollars, within
the next four months, we will give a
receipt in full for three years subscrip-
ton; or we will receive six dollars
worth Of merchantable produce at cash
price, and give receipt for the same
length of time. We must live, and we
hope our friends will not forget U.s.
We have on our books long list of ac-
counts for job work and advertising;
we hope they will be paid off soon.

the purpose of sustenance. The hrst
"a hours they are said to have made
IS miles! and instead Of hard fighting
or continued skirmishing we are assur-
| ed that not an armed Mexican wasseen
on the way hither.
We are indebted to a gentleman,
who appears 10 be intimate with the
facts, upon whom we can place impli-
cit confidence, for the following items:
That Gen. Cos left Tuspan in the night,
IN command, but little in the rear OF
4sO me n; that he was soon joined by
others at various points, until his com
mand now numbers about $50, as stated
above. He had stationed 80 cavalry
and $50 infantry in such manner as he
supposed would prevent the wrecked
troops from receiving supplies or REIN
forcements. Most Of the infantry un-
der Cos came in canoes from Taspan,
and landed in front Of the wrecked vol
un,eers. He had four pieces of light
artillery. and when he received Lieut..
Ozier about $50 troops were drawn up
in column. $50
1t is probable that Cos was very
much gratifed when he discovered
that the Americans had retreated, as
he, doubtless, anticipated an attack up
on Tuspan before he was fully aware
of the precise cause of their presence
in the neighborhood. He would have
certainly resorted to precautionary
measures, in view Of a retreat, If he
had been very anxious for a fight, and
the fact OF his not attempting pursuit
seems to favor the same view OF this
matter.
GFThe Sentinel states that Capt.
Brown, of the schr. Pioneer, arrived
at Tampico on the 9th from the wreck
of The Ondiaka, whittier he had been
sent by Gen. Patterson with succor TO
The volunteers, and states that finding
them gone, he had set the ship on fire
and burnt her.

every township Of that county the peo'
pie are meeting and collecting contri-
buttons for the relief of dist essed Ire
land. Shall we not initiate such an ex-
ample? The Christian Scriptures speak
Of provoking each other to love and
good works. Will the enlightened
generosity Of good old Monroe lag be-
hind' Shall we not also give testimo-
ny Of our commiseration for sore and
unparalleled distress' Why do not our
ministers OF the gospel, and, in one
word, our influential citizens of every
profession and occupation, take the
matter up and see to it that we act, in
this behalf, as becomes, great, en-
lightened, generous and Christian COM

FROM THE BRAZOS.

The schr. Heroine, Capt. Shaw from

an early hour this morning. She has
on board the remains Of LIS. Blake
and Shadburn, in charge Of Lieut.. Og-
den, which are to be carried to New
York for interment.
Al the forces at the Brazos are rea-
DIV to embark. Col. Bankhead had
sailed for Tampico. Matamoras has
been well fortified. Fort Brown is
garrsoned by volunteers. From the
gathering OF the Rancheros, an attack
on Matamoras is anticipated. The road
between Camargo and Monterey is in
tested with robbers. The report Of the
capture of Maj. Borland, of the Arkau-
sas Volunteers, Cassius M. Clay, &c.,
is confirmed. -
All the vessels at the Brazos have
been taken for the transportation of
troops. Every thing goes to, confirm
the belief that an immediate attack
will be made on Vera Cruz.
The U. S. steamship Massachu-
setts was to leave the Brazos on the
evening OF the 18th inst, with Gen.
Scott and suite, and four companies of
U. S. troops.
