JOURNAL & MESSENGER. 8. T. CHAPMAN & S. ROSE. Editors. The Island of Naulncket. Corfietpowknee of the New York Mirror. Nantucket, July 31, 1847. Taken altogether, in it origin, progress prosperity, sterility wealth, sand-bare ;tnd surf, this is quite the most remarkable place : i the (world. Tadnior was a wonder, and flaaibee a puzzle, but Nantucket is a miracle. The more i look at it and think about it. the more singular it appears to me. 1 here is no place on |he globe taut oilers such a curi .u- 1 study to tlie politico-moralist as this. About j t hundred and eighty years ago in those pro-; cious goo.l old ti nes that conservatives are . alvruYJ whining about. when every town was; embellished with a public whipping-post and men were “had up’ be lore ecclesiastical tri bunals for kis. iu„. 1 fir wives on the Sabbath, | there came to i..e town ol Salisbury, on toe | Merrmtac river, thre • strangert who begged the privihge ol’ sheltering themselves from a pelting rain rtorni beneath the shed ol Thom as Macy, a quiet farmer in those parts. The privilego was granted and when the storm subsided the strangers departed and went o:i their way. It was utervvardsdiscovered that these three men v ere Ciuakem who were llee ing from the persecution ol the public author ities. who, to show their love to God. thought it necessary to hang even body that constru ed biblical’ texts ditl'crentU from tin niseivi . Thomas Macy w.i- immediately seized and thrown into prison, his goods and chattels distrained upon, and his family left to shill lor themselves. He :nt a petition to the General Court begging to be released from prison, a. itiag forth in very simple but touch ing 1 align ige that he had igr.o.antly oflended ■ , nirnitisr vU- CVs.Uv wavlarera n shelter beneath las roof and that in so doing he httd only done towards n follow man whot he ■ou’ld not have denied to a dog. After being ‘ kept in prison a year he was released; but finding himself u’kind of outcast in the pious neighborhood of Salisbury, lie resolved torc-i more to some lar country where the people had less religion hut more humanity. Ho he out his family and all their worldly gear into i small boat,'and set himself afloat upon the desert waters in search of anew home. As he kept no log of his voyage, we know not what perils he encountered, nor what i ca-ser pents he saw : but there can be no doubt that his dangers were many and his hardship great. After being driven about on the wide waters for many days, he tit last discen c I the sandy cl ills of this island, nnd thinking from its desolate look that no Christian per secutor would ever billow him thitfo’r la lan ded with his family, and being hospitably en tertained by the native Indians who had ne ver before seen the foci of a white man and liked to cultivate a curiosity ofthe kind uino.ig them, he. remained a year. There was a charm for the honest-hearted Thomas Mart in the sublime desolation of the isUml. Ihi waters abounded with a great variety of hm fish, which tiic Indians without tilth culty; on the shores were clams, qua lings nerriwinklcs, oysters, and many other cru. ta ceous delicacies; the Indians cultivated corn and tobacco, and tradition says that there were trees enough on the i -land tq I .j^ r them with firewood. _|3ui-ttblhere were .still ntitil * <nv “ r *~'“ °f friendly neighbors: -u the persecuted pilgrim returned to Salis bury and gave so bright a picture ofthe de •ffhts of 1 its new home tlmt some half a dozen families were tempted to return with him. They were men of simple habits, of strong virtues, and benevolent hearts. One of their number, shortly niter they landed, went to the top of a hill to look upon their Canaan ltd seeing the parched and desert aspect of the land, turned to the sea. where lie saw •vhalcs spouting and gambolling among thi crested waves; stretching out bis arm In minted to the ocean and said to hi- compan ions yonder are the green fields which will be cultivated by our chrildrrn. The predic tion has been remarkably verified. From that Wand hv,,>.v,g. ‘innage employed in the whale fishery than ly other place in tie- world. At the present tune they have but eighty ships while New Bedford has nearly double the number. The people have sufli red severely, at differ ent periods from the i Meets of war famine and fire; but the enerp and indomitable spirit ol their an sor .... -vists among them ami they present quite the most remarkable in- i stance ofthe pm uit of property underdifKcul ties that the wo-ld can oiler. The cheap fa-1 cility of intercourse with the main land by! means ot steam has caused some modification j in the piimitivc habits ul the people but thev remain unique and thoroughly old Elurlish ij. their speech and customs and will prob.ilv re-1 nain so forever in spite of the flocks of visiter- 1 who resort to the Island during the hot months ; ‘° vnjoy the bracing a air and the fine ocean ‘ scenery. The town itself is compos ■ ( main iy ot oid weather heali ri frame houses cover • and with pine shingles, and entirely destitute o’ I *ll architectural graces or the embellishment I ot paint; the streets are crooked and strair-1 glmg and so sandy that you iiave to w.ule i tnrough ti-e-n ratli r than walk. That part! ol the town which was destroyed by fire last 1 year has been rebuilt with substantial brick] oun.lings the street straightened and the] general appealance of things greatly ini- j proved. 1 hey have a plenty of good school nouses, able teachers and a really handsomi ‘ Atheeaiuai. with the nucleus of a library and I n rauceum of natural curiosities. But the ] charm of the Island to a visiter lies in its des- i rt lulls and sublime ocean prospect. The imple grandeur of the scene as you stand i.i! t.ie middle of the Island, with the ocean gleam- ] mg in a bright belt around you, can only be conceived of by those who have stood in the 1 middle of a Western prairie. But here the 1 brown poverty of the boil, the of all ! appearances of vegetable fertility, and tin ue sea m the distance, are elements of des l iU* grandeur that the prairies lack. Vou t ■ light imagine yourselt standing upon the first pot of primal earth which emerged from old 1 hoot before the garniture of trees and flowers, ol rocks and running water, were added to the i irlacc of our globe. There is a tradition among the inhabitants Mat wind their forelatliers landed here from ■Salisbury they found the island well covered with trc-CH. but there are now no vestiges of them remaining. There ure u few 0.-na j i atal trees planted in the town, which np ,-eiir to thrive well hut the land out ofthe t iwri. winch is still held in common and undi vided, bt ing used chiefly for the pasturage of cep, is entirely destitute of a tret or u shrub, 1 lie Herbage is very scant und poor, but tiie sheep thrive upon it und make the finest mutton I have ever tasted. I would advise ill who come here for recreation to cut nothing it mutton and fish, eschew ing the sword-fish, waver. Apart from a moral duty which Me lies to every body to avoid every tiling ‘nit wears a word, even though it be a fish. :ie sword-fish is to be avoided lor its coarseness id indigestible qualities. But the people iere and in New Bedford uppeur to have a mission for it; I meet men in the street carry-, ag home sword-fish steaks on the end of wood n skewers. I wonder what Izuuk Walton could huve done with oleos these sett war-i .ors, who live by the sword and perish by the mrpoon. and whether he would have succcdcd .1 making one of the monster* us palatable i*. chub. Let the *word-fl*h be cooked us he.may,l think with the American editor of >M Iviink, in his notes on the chub, tlmt the ->sb will be improved by leaving out its prin cipal ingredient. Netting posts. The Boston P'wt says; ‘‘that in Ashfield. Mass., a farmer t"t u couple of gate post*. lioth ot wliieti were taken from the butt of n ehaanat tree, which was perfectly sound. One of them was set with the top end down. At the expiration of 12 years, both were taken up, when he found, that of the one inverted only the sappy par; was decayed, while tin other had nearly rotted off.” Philosophy ot Drowning. Msn is the only animal that drowns nntnraily. He does so because he is endow ed with reason; that is to say, with a largo spherical brain with a skull on it, which rises above his nose. If he fails into dcc-p water, in spile ofhis great brain, ho has not presence ol mind enough to stick his nose out and keep it mu, as he easi ly might do. but lets hi* heavy head like a ‘tone press his nose under water. In this position he inhales, and j fills his chest with water, so that he become* on the , whole so much heavier than water as to sink While j the lungs are filled with air, the body it lighter than its bulk in water, and of course swims, just ns an iron ves sel does. All therefore which is necessary to keep a person from drowning in deep water, is to keep the wa ter out of the lungs. Bo you nsk how tbit is to bi done) Suppose yourself a liottlc. our nose is the nozzle ofthe bottle, and must be kept out ol the water If it goes under, don't breathe at all till it comes out. Then, to prevent its going down again, keep every olh cr part under—head, legs, anus, nil under wnt'r but your nose. Do thst, and you can't sink many depth | of water. All you need to do to secure this, is to clnep your hand* behind your hock,and point ynm nose at tlie top of the heavens, and keep perfectly still. Your nose will never go under watei to the end of time, un less you raise your brain, hand, knee, or toot, higher than it. Keep still With votir nose turned up in perfect Impudence, and you are sale This will do in tolerable still water; in boisterous wa ter you will need n little ofthe art of swimming, which if you don't get you deserve to be drowned —Chrom ftipe 11 A t O \ , WEDNESDAY, U Cl ‘ST I*. 1847.

Cos I. Towns, y*<u know, is a gentleman below the, j medium hiz< —easy and affable, though rather studied ’ lin bis monm rs On tins occasion he was not as happy jos usual. He looked like one in search of something l j which lie scarcely expected to find. There was an easy j and graceful resignation, u commendable . nlnnincsa I depicted in his countenance, which were regarded as ; lather ominous < f his fate, both by friend and !<••. On | account of personal sympathy 1 will iu i inumnie that i the Colonel is an “ugly” man, but when “ exhibited” aide by side with Gen. Clinch, 1 must ronfl fs that he suffered some from the contrast. The commanding, j portly figure of the old hero, showed that lie was no hot- j house plant—that he had not been raised in the shade j of polit cni favoiitism, nor nourished, like his opponent, • upon Government pap lie apjteared, for all the world, i like the very’ man who could bring up such a hero as ‘ Zachary Taylor, and when it was made known to the : multitude, that Clinch had f*een for years the Colonel ! | of the Regiment of which Taylor was Lieutenant- ! ! Colonel, the enthusiasm was unbounded The people | 1 seemed to regard him ns the man of nil others most 1 worthy of their votes. The Whigs are nil firm and de cided in hit support, and many of the most worthy and patriotic of the Democracy are resolved to sustain him, because ol the rcandalous nbua which lias U < n hcapod , upon huu by tli- op|K*iiioii press.

He knew their duty better than the representatives of the people—ex alt dbe his name ! The king can do no wrong ! Truly the Democratic party is the “largest liberty party f and in claiming to be so acknowledged they claim noth ing more than their due. They enjoy a perfect freedom from all scruples which stand in the way of their party ‘ These are the tendencies of things in tiie Democratic party, and which enhance the value of the conservative party of this Union beyond all computation. These arc the t ‘mb*tides which the Whig party have so manfully, frmly .hut not always successfully struggled against To :h • i*. ’ns ivative influence of the Whig party, aided by tb an t moral weight of Mr. Calhoun, ami the ac e-on <*l p< lit.cal strength which he tendered to the ! country at a critical moment, the people of the Union arc indebted for our peaceful relations with Great Brit ; gin. But for this conservative power over the destiny o* the country, the Democratic party, or its lenders at Washington, w ould have involved us in a w ar, the end and results of which would have defied conjecture.— The same conservative influence was exerted to prevent the war with Mexico, but the conquest of Mexico being nothing hut “ a breakfast spell" —umbrtunately, not with success. 8.-lifving as the Whigs do, that the war with M* xico was unnecessary, and therefore impliedly unjust, they oppc.s • I it at its ii ception ; but, being hi, they have free ly offered and sncniiced their blood and treasure to save tii. honor of ou- common country. Believing as they do that the existing war had its origin in the vilest and most detestable party purposes-—that Mr. Polk, ex-ojfi cio, as the head of a wicked and scheming President making cabal at Washington was induced to arouse the warlike passions of a warlike race, that he and his com peers might reap a harvest of political capital and revel in the “spoils.of officefor a term of years—believing thus, they denounced the act and manner of the act of war ; hut, being in, they have proved no laggards in the fight ll the war were closed to-day, perhaps, an hundred millions of dollars would not defray its cost. An hundred millions of dollars and thousands of valued friends! for what? the people will inquire. Those friends can never be restored ! Those millions must be draw w, nolens vole ns, l rom the pockets of die people. Every man, every woman, every child in the Union must bear a part of it. What tariff l , what systems of taxation must be resorted to, to extinguish such a debt ? What improvements, what railroads, what schoolhouses, rivers, lakes and haibors these millions would have made ! But the wheels of legitimate ** progress” must wait upon the extitiguisluiu nt of such a debt.

Yours, &r. A. CORRESPONDENCE OF THE JOURNAL * MESSENGER. NEW YORK, August 11, 1847. The election returns which have been reaching us for the last few days, have been of an encouraging complex ion to the Whigs, and it is considered already settled that the next House of Representatives will be in their hands. What has turned the scales so completely and melted away the large majority of the administration ? I*or one, 1 agree with the Washington Correspondent oi the Herald. It is not the Sub-Treasury, for the op- | eration of that has scarcely been felt in the immense in flux of specie from abroad. It is not the Tariff of *46, tor that in our peculiar circumstances has not borne ou rously upon us. But it is the Mexican War, and particularly the manner of carrying it on, that ha- ‘ wrecked Mr. Polk’s prospects totally and forever. It ■‘wins us if a wise Providence meant to make this grand measure of the administration, the means of itsover throw in jut retribution. Tire very step which was ex p e* il to make Mr. Poik glorious, sinks him beneath contempt.

It inn bugs—A Late edition. It will be recollected by many of us, that, sometime last spring, our citizens, who had u passion for fancy shrubbery, fruits, Ac., were blessed with tin of n Frenchman, nil the way from P uis, or thereabouts. with a locomotive nursery, which he displayed by open ing sundry ponderous boxes and bundles. The articles he oflerred were magnificent, if one were to guess from the pictures he exhibited of them, and hi prices equal ly S'.—being irotri one to twenty-five dollars each.— Many of the p/cf/m •* ol his flowers and fruits wet • most arnpie in their dim msions, and unique a:t 1 original in their colors There were Cherrie* portrayed, that would put u Peach in the shade,—but this h * admitted when questioned, was only “ a leetle mistake of the Printer and Painter,” who ma le them. And there were Roses and other flowers as checkered ns n Hroteh ginghams, with stripes of blue, crimson, white Ac. There were amateurs, both from city and country. who were never very liberal before, who disgorged their purses to buy these beautilul articles—■“ all the troy from France.” “ The Frenchman and h - plants’ was J the general theme for several days. Only a few were j not overtaken I y the mania nn I seemed to doubt wheth 1 er the pictures and realities would correspond, and als there was a very striking resemblanee of his most rare shrubs ami plants to certain specimens in that exten sive nursery that extends all along the Central Rail road, from Savannah to Macon. Well, the investment was sold out, but some of it at a little less than Paris prices, and the gratified merchant travelled, and the equally gratified purchasers waited impatiently for Na ture to devclopc their choice treasures. Faithful to her trust, dame Nature brought forth from the Frenchman’s plants of the “Four Nations,” sold at the great sacrifice of four dollars, a substantial root ol llorse lladish! ! A costly investment of trees and shrubs produced the gall-berry, whortleberry, spar klcberry, white maple, poplar, bay-tree, &.c. The “Emperor of Russia,” also sold at the same great sacri- fice of four dollars, —nature metamorphosed into that very unrare plant of our pine woods, the Spider IVort ! I will pas* over a long list, and designate bit one more —the most tare and valuable of all—“ The Emperor of Chinn,” represented of the most delightful fragrance, and the painting showed it to be a fit representation of the head of the Celestial Empire This plant was worth twenty-five dollars, hut to confer a favor on the country, despite of our connoiseurs who did not seem fully t<> appreciate its value, it was sacrificed for fifteen ‘ after several oil'setts had been taken from it and sold from one to five dollars each. But nature has done her wo.k upon it. and only exhibits an ordinary specimen of Skunk Callage'. —the fragrance of which could only be tolerated by a certain class of aerial sevaengers Such was the result of the mission of this foreign nursery man among us, who also, equally blessed some other places by the results of his visits about the same time. But for the cruelty of the reminiscence to some 1 might alqo give the details of the visit of a German to this and other places in our State a year previous, hav ing with h'm nil the treasures of the Gardens of the Leyden.
