About seven o clock, the ships masts went
by the board, : nn i ahnest immediately after

on board was laluncheicl into eternity. The
;sea - preSented a bliek mass of human heads
and floating pieces of the wreck, but in a few
• moments all. had sunk Ito rise alive- - no more.
The beach was strewn with the dead bodies
of women and children, pieces of . .the wreck,
--,the baggage. of -the passengers and empty
easkt. Nothing remained to - mark the spot
where :the ill-fate ship went ashore, except
surging waves beatinT, :upon a fragment of the°

' One Man was found' about fifty yards from'
the beach, upon the sand hills, with a child
_in his arins;' and from his condition it is sup
posed that he alOne, of, all on beard, reached
shore alive, and crawling out of reach of
the waves, in order to 'pave his own life, and
that of the infant in his arms, fell down ex
hausted on the sand, and was frozen to death
during the night. The child was firmly lioek
ed in, his arms, Elite dead, and. appeared as if
' it had also flied on the shore from exposure.
The whole of this day was spent in search
ing for the bodi ...5 of the _unfortunate people.
. But one man w i found among the number,
all the rest were women and children. ' They
appeared to haVe been din Bx'cellent health,
with rosy cheeks and 'smiling faces, looking
as if they were tasleeP rather than dead.—
They were all laid side by sidy until ti boat
could be got to carry them to the shore.
On Tuesday twenty-two bodies were re
moved from the beach to the village of liana
hawkin. These!, 'consisted of one man and
twenty-one chilpren all apparently, by their
features, appearing4ohe Germans, the women
who had any clothes on being dremed in coarse
materials, with Iheavy shoes, some 'of them
wooden ones. AU tirie shoes,
were -conveyed
to an out-house of Squire PeciwOrtles, where
they remained until cons .could be madefor
them. This mtdanchol ' task _of makingre.-
. ceptacles for the dead ecupied the attention

of the men residing in _the village, while the
•
women were busily einPloyed in-washing. the
bodies and lappg them out, preparatory to
their being placed in the coffins. Too much
,A praise cannot be awarded to the inhabitants
of Manahawkiii for theii zeal and industry in
giving a deceutt burial, to the dead. ' •
Our reporter 'visited the Dead House, where
lay in tiers, one above the other, Women and
children, presenting a Shocking and ptinful
~i = spectacle. The whole evening was spent in
waking . coffins and shrouds; and it was note
until midnight that the kind-hearted, people desisted in their labors, which were trying in
the extreme. , 1 • , , • -- •
All along the shore for ten miles were scat:

of the passengers, 'many - of , them - having

havO' ever felt averse to that system; of
party tactics, says the. -Allentown Dentorrat,
whish recognizes 'slander and detraction as
a legitimate mede' of warfare, when - applied,
to 4andidas for.high ofllcial stations. A:nd
to - the ; honpr o r the Democratic party 'we
may say, it: has .rarely been known to employ
these weapons.; This aversion; on our part,
was' probably induced by the fact that among
our earliest recollection of politics in this
State; the Peg. ' Beitie affidavits, with which
the character of a Democratic candidate *as
sought to ! blackend, stands foremost-
This was followed up in. later times by a
systeniatici use of billingsgate abuse which
hunted to the grave another of the candidates
of tlni Dentocracy. We need not, perhaps,
say do's was the, lamented Searig,ht. So dis
gusting did this niode of warfare, become to
. 1
Our mind that any" - resort to it, on the part
of ouifrierids . pr enemies, was to say the least,
exceeiingly distasteful. :
Entertaining, these sentiments, we did not
give .urrericyi to :the statement . which we
saw gbing the rounds of the press, in regard
t 6 the votes of the i .Whig -candidate for Gov

I •
;much iaqueamish sensibility displayed by the

little 'nterest the discussion. We have
