by Miss Gertrude Avery: It was a ivory - well

men'must,be legislated from one party to an 7.
other ; that objects illegitimate -to legislation,
and legitimate Only to the political arena,mnit
be legislated into the'creed of Democracy. It
is new to us as, one of that Dernocrapy, for We
have beerrused to seta our creed legislated in
to the policy; of the 'government permanently,
and hot the ternparary" policy of the govern.
stem legislated into our creed. Besides, it is
a new doctrine to us, that any law acquires
additional 'strength by being several times en
acted. It 'is an namisicon virtually of weak
nescin the government itself, that a law Can
not command the 'reverence die to law when
lit is once enacted and recorded in the statute
books of the'nation. We look' upon it as a
" solemn farce 4 to 'enact ever again a law, and I
as establishing a dangerous precedent by-ad
mitting a weakness as above- alluded to, that
will not he'Clow to, root itself in the popular
mind, and gradnalloead it: to disregard laws
at convenience, by destroying all law-rever
encing feeling. We can sec no'reason why
the Compromise 'should be again enacted-:.
why it should require . tobe enacted over again
every two years. Has that been the course
of the Democracy in the Past, in reference to
any ;measure of . our .party that has been en
grafted intothe policy of the country? When
Protectionists sent up .a howl from ono end of
the Union to tho, other, after the paocigo of
the '46 Tariff; when' they were agitating Its
repeal and bringing to bear every effort to ac.
conAlish it, did the 'Democracy at the twat

As we said above, the Democracy have nay

• " The Mail Changes.
• ,it is not our purpose or business to defend
the administration of the Post Office Depart
ment while it is in the hands of the Whigs;
neveitheless, the cause of Trtith deMands, a
fair expose, of tants concerning the Mail 'than
ges an this county. - • .
Itis quite a blunder for "a ready -writer,"
to find fault that nothing* has beCn • done for
HerOck, and,in the same coltmin notice the
establishment of a Post Office in Merrick ; and
alsolto c.omplain thatchanges haim not been
made to suit the on the L. l dc W. Rail
Road, when there has been no Mail, for thai
toad to carry, and the , negociations for carry.
ing one in future were not closed till last
week, or week before last, since The complaint
w as !entered'. • •
Tho prospect of having a Mail oh tho Rail
Road has necessarily kept back. most otthe
ch anges asked for, because those changes
were principally asked to be made with a view
of connecting with the Rail Road Mail.—
Hence they must be made to accommodate to
that and how could that be done before it was
determined whether the Rail Road should car
ry one or not! That,, as before intimated,
never was settled till within a week or so.
The old;Mall routes, on which .changes have
been, and are to be made, are as follows.
Tri4eekly from Montrose by Brook
!pi; Lenoxt Dundaff to Carbondale. This is
changed so as to run by Brooklyn, Hopbo4om,
'Glenwood; Lenowille, Clifford and Dundaff.
2d. Senii-weekly Mail from Lenox to liar
ford,, whicb remains the same as before.
3d. Weekly from Lenox to Waverly, also
remainingthe same, and an extra Mail once a
• •
week
. frotri Glenwood to Lenox. All these
changes in`o without any extra expense to the
Department.
It is not true that Dundaff is loft of the
route ; nor;is it true that there is a tri-weekly
Mail to or past Glenwood; nor is the state
ment true relative to supplying Brooklyn and
tat we hare the facts. The only of
flee left off' the former East route is Lenox,
and that in' the change will be supplied with a
Mail four times a week; twice from Glen
wood and twice from Harford, connecting at
each end with the New York Mails leaving
Montrose. Thus Lenox is supplied" full as
well as before, and three offices beside Hop
bottom, viz: Glenwood; Clifford,' and 'Lenox . -
villa Jiro well supplied, which before could not
get a;letter froiti the cep* seat under a week,
generally; and they could not.get their, coun
ty papers till more than a week after publica
tion Unless they were sent round 'by Carbon
dale, when they would. not get them till' the
folloWing Tuesday after publication on Thurs
day. So the change on this line, while it
gives'all as good sueply as - they
.had before,
gives to a large portion much better. It was
aiito for by six Pogt Masters and many peti
tioners.
Now as to Herfoni, an application has been
before the Department: some time for a daily I
mail from Montrosiby the Depot to Harford.
As this was to run in corm c ion With - 0e Mal
contemplated by-the Rail Road, the Depart
ment refused to act upon it till that question
was dispesed of. As soon as the Post Master
at &mitten reports a Mail V Rail Road, that
route win be called up and established to meet
it. Nov if there is any wrong about this we
confess ourselves unable to see it. We 'can
see 'that the change in the Eastern route has
accommodated many and discommoded no
body, so En- as the Mails are. concerned; and
all attempts to make political capital by state.
ments so' glaringly false, as those in' reference
to Dundaff in particular, must recoil itostfear
fully upon: the head of him having the effront
ery to make them.' So far from " throwing

asked for, Lenox be supplied as well as before,
Dundaff be in direct connection with Montrose,
and thus with NOW York and PhiladelPhia;ind
I Hopis:atom; Glemiood, Lenoxville and Clifford
be supplied as they never have been before.—
We believe we have given a tare statement of
the facts in the case at all events we have:
intended to, and if we do not tuiderstand,
correctly we are ready to be put-

ACAPULCO, Mexico,

lucky in -gettingout of it: The news of the
loss of the North America, will probably ex

In San Francisco in time to despatch a letter
by the steamer of the first of March—well, I
was right,' for oh that eventful day (23d) I was
on an-'oss. comingov --- the mountains and
through the rivers o the Mexicanl.coast, on
my.
way to this..po -. We had' a• 'hard time
zr
crossing the Isthmes—but a good deal of fun. .
On Monday (wweeknago last) we sailed on
theh North America, and supposed our troubles
were overand that all we had to do-Was to eat
drink and' be mekry, until we arrived at the
port of San Franeisco. But our -hopes were
doomed.to disappointtnent, for on the Friday
night following, we were wrecked, and by the
most culpable negligence too; To strand a
vessel on n clearnight, with a eahn sea, , and
the moon shining bright as day, and among
breakers which could be seen a fullioarter. of
a mile, and heard three times that distance,
and under the circumstances which governed
here, is carelessnesi almost if not quite crimi
nal. We had followed the coast all the way
from San Juan del Sod, and were only out of
eight of it a very fevi hours. On the day ape
ken of we had kept close inshore all the while
So much so that the kindrof trees, and the huts
Could be discovered with the naked eye. Sev
eral old sea Captains-who were on board, told
the Captain that he was too hear shore ; but
he said that there was no danger, as he knew
the landmarks perfectly, &e. About.l2 o'clock
pt night the Mate called the Captain from bed,
Outing his apprehensions that they were too
near shore: -The Captain came up and , told
`the Mate he was to far out; instead of too far
in. The order was hardly complied with be
,fore she struck hardaground and just outside
'of some breakers. -' I was on deck I suppose
in three Minutes, having stopped to dress and
;get Charley up; and then I saw something I
;never saw before. ' The Pacific, as-it had been
all the way, Was as calm as .11.--'s fish pond.—
At a little distance were some heavy breakers
1.-•-beyond them a plain sand beach, and furth
er sti ll a range of high ground. The moon
*as as bright as daylight, and we stood On
deck and . saW all this as plain as you can on a
bright night see the Susquehanna bridge from
the lawn.- Yet there we were. The Captsin
pretended that he could only see the high
ground, and did not dream of any beach or
breakers. But how any sailor could mistake
those foaming, thundering monsters as they
threw themselves one upon another, high in
the air, or fail to see the land beach, which
formed a band of silver along the shore, and
shining as bright -as a white ribbon, I cannot
cohceive. It was a perfect outrage, without
any excuse whatever. The ship was, driven
up by the swell broadside into. the breakers,
and there we ' caught it some. The Captain
was completely bewildered and confused, and
after a few moments just went into his state
room, palled his cap over his eyes, and wns
hardly seen again until the next day. The Ist
and 2d Mate went ,to work, and a lot of us.
turned in With them. I never saw men or
women behave better than the whole number
of passengers although - hundreds of them
were badly frightened, yet they Were easily
controlled, and there was no general rush, or
stampede. The vessel lay - on hei side leaning
away from the shore, and tire breakers of
course took her on this low side.
They would raise the ship apparently right
up and carry her towards shore, and then drop
I suddenly away, letting us drop with a force
that seemed as though it would break the ship.
;to atoms—but she was a noble craft and stood
every shock splendidly. Finally we were car
ried up as far poiiible and then our hull bur
' tied itself in the bottom and WO bad to meet
the breakers, dead weight. By - Jupiter, did
they not strike us the! I never saw, neither .
[ can I describe anything like it. We finally
I got the boats on; and manned them, and at
[about 3 o'cloek'commenced landing the aiiliesl
I and children. We got a rope to the shored
and by it men pull the boats to and fro-but,
it was Acne business, the vessel lay so tin her
side that none of the gong-way ladders 'would
reach: They 'however rigged a ladder down
the side,Und the first Mate carried every lady
and child down into boats, on his arms. I nev..
er saw two Men work as did Mr,Ginn. Ist and
Mr. Ilegins, - 2d, Mate. These =two noble fel-
[ lows landed every lady and child, the one car
' ying them,doai into the heats, and the other
getting them ashore through the surE . They ;
worked inceisantly from the time she struck,
(12 o'clock; Friday-nightjuntil Saturday night
about.; 0, without, meat or drink, or cessation.
They got the ladies ashore about 10 o'clock,
Saturday forencion; they then, landed male
passengers, but as they did not need carrying,
Mr-' Ginn, the first Mate, went to landing val.
tiables; dc. - Charley and I got , ashore , during?
'the day, as did all the passengers. I was tired'
foci had worked like a horse, and was mighty
glad to come across a-tent on the beach, called
the " Binghamton Hotel," F. R. Deming, pro
prietor. Our • boys had got a niee tent all.]
rigged, and Deming had been on ,board again, [
and had. got every thing we wanted to 'cook'[
[ with, or use. And iv4en the shipsteres came
ashore, you may, believe we secured Our share
[of food. We had coffee, tea, chocolate, bread,
eggs, ham, &c., enough to last us a week.--
[We took. in.a few ladies, who were a great,
help in cooking .i!.te.: and there, and thus-on a
desert beach-4he ground my bed,and•PY

Every passenger, and all thobargage, ship
stores and, valuables, were landed in. safety.—
We set out and se'oured the country for mules
dtc., and soon a plentiful supply came in, with
the natives, who brought the pleasing intelli
gence that we were three day's journey from
this, (the nearest) port. They charged ten dol.
lars each for, the . mules, so Charley and I
took, three, two to riae, - and one for baggage.
We started on. Monday, atabout 3 1.2 o'clock

trees made an arbor abovetis. It was mostly
through dense forests, and we found plenty of
ranches where we could eat and sleep.. The
