" A Traveller's" communication will
appear next week.
, The close of the third volume.
With the present number expires the
third year since ive commenced the
publication of the "Spirit of Democra
cy.", This would be a very appropri
ate time to address to our patrons and
the democracy of Monroe county gen
erally, a few words. But indisposition
will preve'nt us from so doing. This
much, however, we will say. We
must 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 a living and for money to pay
our, hands, we would not be able to
publish our paper a year longer. Is
not this a curious state of affairs in a
county containing very nearly Jive
thousand male inhabitants oyer the age
of 21 years, . ....
' ' Some of our subscribers are now in
debted to us for three year's subscrip
tion, 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 six dollars, within
the next four months, we will give a
receipt in full for three year's subscrip
tion; or we will receive six dollars
worth of merchantable produce at cash
price, and give a receipt for the same
length of time. We must live, and we
hope our friends will not forget us.
We have on our books a long list of ac
counts for job work and advertising;
we hope they will be paid off soon.
. ; Still Later from the Army.
: The latest intelligence from the ar
my indicates a strong probability that
there will be an action at Sahillo. Gen.
Taylor has moved liis command to that
place, which exceeds 6000 men. Con
siderable annrehension is felt at Main-
moras of an attack from Gen. Urrea.
It is said that this officer is on this side
of the mountain with 4000 troops.
Our readers may look out for stirring
news soon.
Gen. Scott is moving forward for the
Island of Lobos, 60 miles from Vera
Cruz.
St. Clairsville Gazette.1'- We
have neglected to notice that Dr. Dun
ham has associated with him, in the
publication of the Gazette, Mr. Alex
ander Patton, of St. Clairsville. They
have procured new type and will, no
doubt, publish a handsome sheet Ofthe
merits of the Gazette, we need say
nothing, as it is old enough to speak for
itself.
"The Citizen." This is the title of
a new democratic paper just started at
St. Clairsville, by Messrs. Heaton
& Gressinocr, the first number of
which ranched us a few davs since.
t
It is a large sheet, neatly executed, and
deserves support.
Flour is selling at $7 in New York;
at $6 in Philadelphia; at $6 in Balti
more; and at $4 in Pittsburgh. Wheat
is worth 63 cents in Pittsburgh.

For the Spirit of Democracy.
Mr. Editor:
i 1 have lately been on a
visit to Belmont county. Jn almost
every township of that county the peo
ple are meeting and collecting contri
butions for the relief of distiessed Ire
land. Shall we not imitate 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 notour
ministers ot 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, a great, en
lightened, generous and Christian com
munity. Ministers of the gospel, Chris
tians, need I add another word to you?
Do you. believe that the judgment of
,jthe last great day, will depend upon
. your conduct towards suffering human
it in this life? Awake!! Arise!!!

For the Spirit of Democracy-
TO THE PEOPLE OF OHIO.
Friends and fellow citizens: , y , ,.
In the last number, an
attempt was made to show, that per
fect probity and purity of intention in
the election of Judges might be attribu
ted to the electoral body. That cor
ruption in a majority of the people is
an impossibility. That the meagre few,
who might cast their' votes under the
guidance of wrong or sinister motives
would be lost in the crowd. And that
their influence would be neutralized bv
inevitable differences of intention and
motive amongst themselves.
In the present number, we take the
position that perfect purity and probity
of intention cannot reasonably be ex
pected in our present mode of electing
Judges by the instrumentality of the
General Assembly; but that on the
contrary our judicial elections under
our present constitution, must ordina
rily be the offspring of wire-working,
og-rolling, management and intrigue.
It is not supposed that actual, acknowl
edged corruption often enters into the
elections made by the General Assem
bly. Gross intentional corruption is
not the evil, which we have to fear.
It is of rare occurrence. Nor is it by
such means that the institutions of n
free and generous people are under
mined overthrown and destroyed.
Vice is odious. Her features are for
bidding and deformed. Men do not
like to gaze upon her horrid face. Nor
do they like to become conscious to
themselves of acting upon base and sor
did motives. The malaria which rises
from a stagnant marsh, and scatters di
sease and death far and near, is imper
ceptible to all the senses. So a bad
system of government may produce the
most deleterious effects upon the affairs
of a great people, without any one of
their public servants being knowingly
guilty of turpitude and treachery. It
is an insidious but pestilential influence
which in the opinion of wise and good
men, now vitiates and degrades our le
gislative elections. Let us suppose the
case of a candidate for a seat on the
bench of the Court of Common Pleas
of one of our eastern counties or dis
tricts. He is either known to a major
ity of the General Assembly, by charac
ter and reputation, or he is unknown.
If known, he may be known as a faith
ful advocate of eastern interests as a
determined friend of a light and cheap
government, and above all, as a reso
lute and untiring enemy of that vast
and colossal system of fraud and spec
ulation, which, under a specious and
imposing name, has bestowed millions
and millions of the people's treasure
upon a set of unprincipled adventurers.
If so, his doom is sealed. No enquiry
will be made as to his qualifications.
Whether he is learned, grave, discreet,
mild, patient and determined. Wheth
er he is bland of manners, kind of heart,
and indefatigable in labor. Whether
. a
the interests of the eastern people would
be promoted by his election or not. On
the contrary the virtues of Vv ashing
ton, the learning and talents of Mar
shall, the genius of Jefferson and Ham
ilton united in his person, if such a
bright assemblage were possible, would
be of no avail. His election would be
impossible and his rejection certain.
Or rather his friends despairing of ever
obtaining forgiveness for his offences
would refuse to propose him.
But on the other hand, suppose the
candidate to be known for his subservi
ency to the central power which has
its throne at Columbus. Suppose that
he has voted for schemes of miscalled
internal improvement; that he has been
forward to smooth the path of sharp
and unconscientious speculators to tire
public treasury; that he has helped to
unbar its doors and let them in to the
work of plunder; why then his election
will be easy, but he has betrayed his
trust and is unworthy to be elected!!!
But the candidate may be almost un
known to the General Assembly, or
known only to three or four members.
Then must not the remainder make up
their opinions of him upon trust?
Must they not rely upon the represen
tations of a little squad of their own
members, or of other persons who take
an interest in the. matter? What a
door u here opened for log-rolling,
wire-working, intrigue, and manage
ment ? Where is the man bold enough
to contend that the electoral tody ought
to be ignorant of the personal qualifica
tions of the individual proposed to be
elected? Yet this is often the most
favorable state of things in our legisla
tive elections! .
The next number will be devoted to
the further consideration of this subject
of legislative elections. It 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 a Convention to amend our Con
stitution. Most respectfully, &c.
EDWARD ARCHBOLD.

Later from the Army.
We have received the New Orleans
Delta of the 22d ult., from which we
gather the following important particu
lars, relative to the Louisiana volun
teers, under command of Col. De Rus-
sey:
FROM BRAZOS SAJNT1AUU.
Later. The schr. Wm Bryan, Capt.
Ryan, arrived at an early hour this
morning from Tampico, whence she
sailed on the 12th inst. We are in
debted to the officers for late numbers
of theTanipico Sentinel. From that
paper of the 10th we copy the subjoin
ed account of the wreck of the Ondia-
ka, and the safe arrival of the Louisiana
Volunteers at fumpico.
A portion of the New xork regi
ment, on board the St. Catherine, was
still off Tampico. The soldiers are not
allowed to land, the original plan, ot
keeping all the volunteers on shipboard
until ready to attack Vera Cruz, will
doubtless bo adhered to. Lieut. Da
vid Gibson, of the 2d Regiment U. S.
Artillery, died at Tampico on the 6th
inst. The deceased was a native of
Virginia, and graduated at the U. S.
Military Academy, in the year 1S42.
His brave and manly heart endeared
him to his friends, and will cause his
loss to be severely felt by the army.
The Mexicans are making prepara
tions for the defence of Vera Cruz.
FROM THE BRAZOS.
The schr. Heroine, Capt. Shaw from
Brazos St. Jago, 15th inst., arrived at
an early hour this morning. She has
on board the remains ol Lis. Lslake
and Shadburn, in charge of Lieut. Og
den, which are to be carried to New
York for interment.
All the forces at the Brazos are rea
dy to embark. Col. Bankhead had
sailed tor iampico. Matamoras has
been well fortified. Fort Brown is
garrisoned by volunteers. From the
gathering of the Rancheros, an attack
on Matamoras is anticipated. The road
between Camargo and Alonterey is in
fested with robbers. The report of the
capture of Alaj. Borland, of the Arkan
sas Volunteers, Cassius AI. 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 15th inst., with Gen
Scott and suite, and four companies of
U. S. troops.
The steamers Edith and Virginia
were to follow the Alassnchusetts in a
few days, with troops and supplies.
From the Tampico Sentinel of the 10th inst. .
THE LOUISIANA VOLUNTEERS.
Full particulars of the attack The
valiant Gen. Cos Arrival of the
troops, 8fc.
Our city has been kept in consider
able excitement for the last week, in
consequence of the wreck of the ship
Ondiaka, on which vessel it was known
four companies of the Louisiana Vol
unteers had embarked, being part of a
regiment under the command ot Col.
De Russey. The mere fact of the loss
of a vessel upon the naturally danger
ous eoast of Mexico, is enough of it
self to enlist the sympathies of every
one; but when one reflected that she
was filled with troops who had embar
ked in the service of their country, and
that they were in an enemy's territory
in the most destitute condition,, with
not even arms to defend themselves,
and with scant provisions ond water,
or probably reduced by sickness, the
thought was harrowing, and many of
our citizens would gladly have hastened
to theirre8cue,if Gen. Patterson had sig
nified a wish that they should present
themselves; but happily there was no
need of this voluntary burst of benevo
lence and patriotism, as the circum
stances favored the commanding officer
inputting into immediate requisition
rnanv ways by which he could render
them the most prompt and efficient
succor, x,- h .
, As we stated in our last, he immedi
ately despatched sixty pack mules, five
day's provisions, fifteen saddle , horses
tor the sick, and lorty men to -act as
an escort and to assist the Louisian
ians in maintaining their position in
case of attack. This force was sent
under Lieut. Miller. The next day a
company of artillery, under Capt. Ma-
gruder, with one six-pound gun, and
additional supplies of provisions, am
munition, flints, &c, were sent in the
same direction, and the schr. Ella, a
very light draught vessel and well ad
apted to the coasting trade, was put in
requisition, (Midshipman AI. J. Smith
being put in command,) and two 42
pounders belonging to the U. S. schr.
Nonata, with her crew, were transfer
ed to her, together with 200 artillerists,
two companies of artillery, under
Lieut. Anderson and Lieut. Wise, the
whole commanded by Capt. Anderson,
of the 3rd artillery, with a full supply
of provisions, ammunition, &c.
In addition to these measures, which
were intended, no duubt, to act more
in the light of succoring or defensive bo
dies than for attack, (Jen. Pillow's brig
ade was held in readiness to march,
should their services be required.
The cavalry under Col. Thomas, to go
by the coast the 1st and 2d lennssee
regiments of foot, under Cols. Camp
bell and Haskill, to go via old Tampico
to the end of the Lake of Taminja,
thence to proceed to the relief ol the
Louisianians, and to cutou the retreat
of Gen. Cos, who headed the force a-
gainst the wrecked volunteers, and as
sail him in the rear, un onnday night
one company of artillery were des
patched to old I ampico to seize till ca
noes that might be found in the neigh
borhood, for the transportation of such
of the Louisianans as might be unable
to march, should such inability be oc
casioned by wounds or sickness, and
one company of Tennessee volunteers
was sent to Lake Jamiaja upon a
similar service. These canoes, it was
designeJ, should be drawn by mules,
after the manner of sledges. It-was
likewise intended to throw the U. S.
schr. Nonata, with 300 men, into the
inlet of Lake Taminju, to intercept and
aid in cutting off the retreat of Gen.
Cos. These and other measures were
in rapid preparation when the steamer
James Cage arrived on Monday morn
ing, with information that the volun
teers and escort were within abou
twentv miles from thiscity. This had
the effect of relieving many ofunpleas
ant feelings, and, of course, put a stop
to all further preparation. Yesterday
morning they arrived in the city, gen
erally sneaking, in good health, but ve
ry mucn exiiausiea oy tneir lorced

few miles from their first camp, being
unable to march, and the men finding
it impossible to carry them through the

From information, derived from the
officers of the Loiiisi ma Volunteers,
we are rejoice 1 i , n.'iaounco that many
ol our lear : meir saletv were
gitundlpsc,.'ii)d .nutthe various rumors
which fluted oout the city were most
ly falsr 'iikiJ;, no doubt invented by
Mexican t ngties, either for the pur
pose of I'.ceplion or from a natural
dispos "jn to exaggreate every thing
they .-; .e or hear. It appears that the
tr nh of the matter is, that early in the
da on which the volunteers had taken
rtluge from a watery grave, upon the
sr.nd nearly opposite the wreck, they
received visits from several, who came
in the character of peasants, fishermen,
&c., and were led to expect assistance
in the way ot transportation, from the
various promises voluntarily made by
the scoundrels, who were, doubtless,
busily employed at that time, in in
forming the Alexicnn commander at
Tuspan, ol the exact position ol the
volunteers, the number &u. In the
afternoon a flag of truce presented it
self, with a demand from Gen. Cos for
an immediate and unconditional surren
der, and it was represented to them
that the country was swarming with
armed men, cutting off all retreat un
less by sea, which, of course, was im
possible. Cos represented the forces
under his command to amount to 1800
regular troops; whereas, in reality, he
can only muster about 980, all told, of
which at least three fourths are said to
be raw recruits, who had entered into
the scheme with the hope of gain by
plundering the wrecked ship and pas
sengers. Cot. De Russy answered
through Lieut. Ozier, under cover of
the enemy's flag of truce. He was
met outside the enemy's lines by Gen.
Cos, who refused him admission inside,
but, after some little reflection, upon the
request of Col. De Russy, granted him
until nine the next morning, at which
time the Americans were to surrender,
or an action must be hazarded. , ,,
At night fall camp-fires were lighted,
and orders imme iiately given to march,
leaving knapsacks and all burlhensome
materials which could in the least im
pede, and which were not wanted for
the purpose of sustenance. The first
24 hours they are said to have made
35 miles! and instead of hard fighting
or continued skirmishing we ara assur
ed that not an armed Mexican was seen
on the way hither.
We are" indebted to a gentleman,
who appears to 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
480 men; that he was soon joined by
others at various points, until his com
mand now numbers about 980, as stated
above. He had stationed 80 cavalry
and 250 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 fromTospnn,
and landed in front of the wrecked vol
unteers. He had four pieces of light
artillery, and when he received Lieut.
Ozier about 150 troops were drawn up
in column. .. . . ... .... . .
It is probable that Cos was very
much gratified when he discovered
that the Americans had retreated, as
he, doubtless, anticipated an attack up
on Tuscan before he was fully aware
of. the precise cause of their presence
. . . rt III .
in the neighborhood, lie wouiu nave
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 a pursuit
seems to favor the same view of this
matter. '
OO-The Sentinel states that Capt.
Brown, of the schr. Pioneer, arrived
at Tampico on the 9th from the wreck
of the Ondiaka, whither he had been
sent by Gen. Patterson with succor to
the volunteers, and states that uncling
them gone, he had set the ship on fire
and burnt her.
