DISASTERS At SEA Few, who abide
continually upon the frm-set earth. know
how to appreciate the perils of the deep.
In the language of a quaint author
" Now we who live on land are past
From dangerous seas aloof-
We careless listen to the blast
Or beating rains upon the roof
We little heed how sea-men fare
Condemned the angry storm to bear"
We scarcely open II journal from our At
lantic cities, or seaport towns, in which we
do not find recorded some melancholy dis
aster, in which human beings Suffered and
died. The history passes into the shipping
list, and is glanced casually over by the
lounger ut the fre-sde, and is forgotten.
Last week, we noted an account of n shin
spoken at sea. in distress, with handker-
chiefs waving by the sufferers on hoard. 1t
was nearly night, and the vessel from which
assistance was rapturously expected, pass
ed on amid the gathering gloom. How
must anxiety have melted INTO hope-hope
INTO doubt and fear-and fear into despair
In the case of the ship w. Nelson, which
was lately wrecked on the hanks near Liv-
erPool, most melancholy picture is drawn
of disasters 10y sea. Who shall say what
were the efforts Of the crew-the dis
tresses and fears OF the passengers-the
agony of kindred affection? All on board
found at one moment common grave Not
one was left to tell the sad tale. The cam
tain, with singular presence Of mind, while
It moral peril was before him, filled the let
ter bag, which WAS of great Importance to
mis- owners, with chat, that it might float on
shore. The business of life transacted with

who had run away from his parents, was on
board. Several vessels were wrecked on
tie "''-5t at the same time, and other lives
were lost. among them, we notice the
ship Grecian, from Boston, the crew and
passengers Of which were all saved, except
the steward, a woman, and her little boy.

The TARIFF. The "Giobe," speaking
the language OF President Jackson, declares
that the duties for protection, shall be re-
duced to the actual wants of the Govern
ment. Previous to the Presidential election,
the organ of the government did not dare to
plomUlgats such a sentiment, but the cleo
lion over it boldly asserts the true princi-
Piles of Gen. Jackson on the all-importaEt
subject of protection to American Industry.
Reduce the Tariff to the actual wants Of
the government, and what will be the situa-
ton of our manufactures? They must IN
evitably be ruined and with them the whole
country he wrapped in misery and hank
ruptcy and poverty.
Maine and .Nstp Hampshire, the whole
West, and even Pennsylvania, says the
Globe, by voting for Gen. jackson, have
slgnified their determination 10 ertinguish
all unnecessary duties" and to reduce the
Tariff 10 the iotcest point consistent NTH
the ,odnts Of an economical gorernnaent"
We are told further by the organ Of Gen.
Jackson, that unless Mr. Calhoun makes
great haste TO hing his nullifers into the
field, the National debt will be paid, the
tariff reduced to the lowest point, and the
whole pretext OF quarrel he taken from him
and Field Marshal Hamilton, and tina, thew
will have nothing to nullify.
