in the ocean, and lay for a few minutes stricken .
powerless, and apparently at the merto: of the sav
age waves that threatened to crigulph us. 1164
was the trial, the last round fought between the el
ements and our gallant vessel. At this critical mo
ment, the engine was true to her duly. Mill went
on its revolutions, and round thundered her iron
tvater wings. Gradually recovering her uprklit
position, the good ship, with head imarterin4 the
sea, came up to her course, and all was tvell. It
was the climax of - the r!orni,—the last great effort
of the whirlwind king, to send us to tile sea-giaid: , '
cave below."
On Monday about 1.9, the storm had abated
sufficiently to admit of standing on the upper step
of the companion-way with safety. It was a sub
lime, but awful spectacle. The ocean still labor
ed under the effects of the hurricane. The wind
veered 12.0 points in :tei hours; it is impossible to
imagine or describe the wild or tangled contusion
of the waves. Rising In a height apparently great

at the loss of their prey. At times the Great
Western, seemed as if lowered by unseen spirits
into her watery grave; and every moment you
expected it to be fillciLin, and her requiem sung
by the winds amidst the wilderness of waters.
But our danger was passed, and with grateful
hearts on Tuesday morning, all assembled in the
cabin to render an' act of common prayer and
thanksgiving.
Rev. Dr. Schmucker read a psalm and made
tome appropriate introductory remarks, and Rev.
Or. Beecher addressed the passengers at length
and with much liirce on the mercy we had,expe
iienced, and prayer was offered.
[After the religions services were ended, the
passengers orgariiied themselves into a meeting,
and after adopting appropriate Rgolutions,
pressivc of gratitude to God for the miraculous
deliverance from destruction, a purse of $lOO.l
was made up as a testimonial of gratitude to the
officers and crew of the ship. Four hundred al.
lars of this was voted to Captain Aternsws as an
acknowledgement of the "skill, firmness and per-
Severance" which had characterized his conduct I
throughout the gale. The passengers unite in
warm tributes to Bic no ble firmness and resolu

from the shock sustained in being struck down by

Storm at Sea.
On the first page of to-day's paper will he found
a thrilling sketch oldie terrine storm encountered
by the Great Western on her late passage. Our
distinguished townsman, Rev. Dr. SCIIMUCKEIt;
having been on board and exposed to the dangers
of the occasion, will give the statement additional
interest to our readers. It will be seen the situa
tion of the numerous inmates of the ship was
fearfully perilous. "We know something," re
marks our cotemporary of tho U. S. Gazette, "of
such scenes, and S can appi-olizte the feelings of
those on board. Resort, it Al be seen, was had
to "Him who holdeth the wind in his fist and the
sea in the hollow of his hand ;" and if at once there
went forth no command that the sea should cease
from its raging, it is recorded that the solemnities
of those assembled whispered quiet to their own
agitated hearts, and to the tumultuous waves of
their own bosom said, "peace, be still." It is a
beautiful thought, that amid all the storms of life,
and the wild tumults of the agitated waves, the
call for help, when the morning of faith dawns up
on the tossed and praying ones, is often answered
by a Presence seen yalking upon the tumultuous
waters, calming their sage, and bringing comfort
and confidence to those who have cried to Him
out of the depths."
We understand that Dr. SCLIMUCKER will preach
in Christ's Church, in this place, on next Sabbath
morning, at the usual hour.

Our Prospects In - tire District.
Let our friends be of good cheer. We have
gratifying intelligence from every portion of this
Cor grcssional district, which places the election
of Dr. NES beyond reasonable doubt. The British
principles of modern Locolocoism will not "take . '
with the people of York and Adams. We have
the very best assurances that, in no event can R.t!'i-
KIN leave 'Yak with a heavier :najority than ago,
while some of our friends claim the county for
Dr. Nmi., It matter - Mloe which be 'right. The
"Young Guard" will come down upon the Free
trade leaders like an twalanche,and after swallowing
up any majority that "Democratic York' may
choose to give to Free-trade Locofocoism. have a
few hundred to spare. To work, then, friends of
American Industry, VICTORY is before us; let
no man have it to say that he tailed to do his part
in swelling the triumph.
Iltr. Cooper.
The intelligence from all parts of the county
in regard to the popularity of our candidates
.and
the entire harmony that pervades our ranks, , is(of
the most gratifying character.• All old differences
have been buried and forgotten. and in every town
ship our friends are going manfully to work in fa
vor of the whole Ticket—Power, Cooper, Nes,
Heintzleman, Ellis, and Houck. This is as it
ought to be—it is what is demanded by the worth
of our candidates as well as by the great princi
ples they represent. 'While it gives its pleasure to
give assurances of this good feeling toward the
Whole ticket, we have the additional gratification
of learning the marked favor with which the nom
ination of our distinguished and popular townsman,
Mr. Coorna, has been everywhere received, not
only among his political friends, but with laTiN
numbers of those who have been acting with our
opponents. While his long-tried and unswerving
devotithr to Whig principles will guarantee for
him the unanimous suppqrt of the Whig party—
the frank manliness and dignity of deportment,
that have always characterized his advocacy of
those principles, and a proper - feeling of local pride
arising out of the distinguished honor that has
marked his public career and reflected back up
on his constituents, will induce many to support
him, who have hitherto differed with him in polit
ical sentiment.. Adam's county has had the good
fortune, for a number of years, of having as her
representatives in the State Legislature men of
commanding talent mul influence, who have left
the impress of their minds upon more than one of
our most salutary laws. And it is but natural
that her citizens should cherish with more than
usual regard those who have thus, in promoting
the public good, HONORED EM.
Our neighbor of the "Compiler," in reply to
the numerous contradictory extracts that we gave
from his own columns, in relation to the Tariffs of
1812 and '46, attempts to evade the difficulty by
charging us with having "avoided the publication
or numerous fair comparisons of the two measures,"
and withholding correct information from our rea
ders. To charges such as these we care not toire
ply, being entirely willing to leave the decision as
to the relative amount of fairness of the Tariffmat
ter that has appeared its the columns of the two pa
pers to those who may have regularly read both.—
We are willing to make a proposition, however,
for the benefit of our neighbor. Ile t niay select at
random any particular number from among the
readers of the - " Star," and we will guarantee from
them a more intelligible account of the merits of
the respective Bills, or of the Preitectivo Policy
generally, than can be drawn from the same number

his paper—not excepting the leaders, who aspire to

From a recent address of the Jackson Democratic

Taxpayers of the U. States.
In raising revenue for the support of the
State Governments, by universal consent, the
principle of a DIRECT TAX; levied on the
properly of the citizen, has been adopted as the
only-first rule. It distributes the burdens of the
States among the citizens according to their abili
ty to bear them. Why silo* the large sums
which are annually raised to support our Federal
and National Goverment, be collected on the op
posite principle'? if the repeal of the tariff law

of lordly nabobs—be forced as a cause of 'agitation'
on the people, we call upon them to ponder upon
and inquire into the principles above suggested,
and see whether another and a very different issue
would not be more suitable, viz: Whether the
present equitable revenue tariff MAY NOT BE
REDUCED STILL LOWER, and regulated with
a view to a permanent change. of the national rev

Foster and Free-trade.
In the desperation consequent upon impending
defeat, there are still a few among the Free-tmde
presses in this State that have the hardihood to
affirm the friendship of WM. B. FOSTER, for pro
tection to American Industry, and that too while
their columns are teeming with denunciations of
the manufacturing interests and
. latulations of the
McKay's British Free-trade Bill. Desperate in
deed must be the cause of those who will so stub
tify themselves by' boldly allinning falsehood in
the' face of well known truth and fact—who will
so do violence to every principle of common
sense as to expect an intelligentpeople to believe
them to be supporting a Tariff man while
hugging to their bosoms the most radical advo
cates of radical Free-trade. But it will no . t. do .
The issue has been too boldly made by Mr. Fes-
TEO own friends, and the contradiction comes
too late to subserve the purposes of those who
would once more recklessly trifle with the hon•
est convictions of a confiding people, and for mere
partizan purposes sacrifice every thing like prin
ciple. WM. B. FOSTER WAS NOMINATED
AS A FREE-TRADE MAN—his friends have
rallied to his support as a Free-trade candidate—
the Presses of his party, with but few exceptions,
have unfurled the Free-trade banner—the whnin

some three or four Presses hitherto distinguished
for their adhesion to ' the party, - in which the
Locofoco candidate for Canal Commlssioner was
spoken of in by no means flattering terms. Of
this number is the Sunbury American, a Loco
foe() paper, printed at Sunbury, Northumberland
county, which opposes Mr. Foster for the sake of
PeanNylrania ioterrsis. 'lle editor thus notices
the miserable attempt to save Mr. Foster from de
feat by avowing his friendship for the Protective
system :

'A writer in the last Sunbury Gazette, ‘vho

praises of Mr. Foster, Tonsures us for Our opposi

"Thet• charge him wills being a free-trade man,

advocate of the protective tariff system, and mis•
represent him wilfully."
The writer must lie a gretn-horn, or he would
not suppose the simple assertion of an,individual,
wider an assumed name, wid(' induce people Of
common sense to believe Mr. Foster in favor 4)1
•'a protective tariff system. - The evidences of

We have already shown that Mr. , Foster, on ac•
count of the corrupt bargain and sale by which he
secured his nomination—by keeping kick his ap ,
pointtnents, as well as by his oft iepeated declara
tions in favor of Free-trade, (which we are ready
to establish by proof, whenever 'Nit.. Foster shall
authorise any one to deny the rharge,) is not wor
thy of the sutfrage of the democracy of. Pennsyl
vania. All these sins of omission and commis
sion Lis peculiar friends think are insufficient, and
vainly imagine that Ins quatincations as all I..ngt
neer, should cover all his defects, Because Mr.
Foster is a good Engineer. though not better than
many others. it does not follow that he is a good

Voters of Adams county, remember that for
years the Public Works of .Pintisyivania have
been made the plunder ground of hordes of politi
cal cormorants and other foul birds of prey. They
have plundered the revenue, bc,„,ared the Treasu

to the lowest point of bankruptcy. Tired of the
imposition, the people of all parties in 1:7;44, voted
that the public works should be sold at public
auction. The voice of the people was overwhelm
ing. More than !20,0u00 majority proclaimed that
the freemen of Penn Sylvania were tired and dis
gusted at the continued outrages which had been
practised upon them.
But the will of the people was set at defiance!
No sale was made! And we have the;e same
works nowin the hands of the saute party, turned
against the people, to cat out their substance and

Let Win. B. Foster be re-elected, and the plun

These into worked from four o'clock in
the morning until ten at night, moirrmis
Uotnis, excepting on Friday night, when
they work all night. In this way they
made out to earn eighteen pence sterling,
or /hi/IN-six cents PER DA I', and no
more. The wages of a nail maker, in full
work, will average about seven shillings
sterling, or one dollar and si.rly-eigla (Tins

may be relied on. Are the mechanics
and laboring men in this country who are
