The UNITED STATES NAVY The time
IS not far distant when the naval peace es
tablisbment will require a body Of one
hundred thousand sailors. We ought in
truth at this very moment TO have as ma
ny in active service. Where are these
men 10 come from Are they 10 be the
off 1scourings OF rotten monarchies, or the
hardy children Of our own happy Ameri-
ca No patriot can for moment hesitate
on this subject. They must be Americans.
Our Liberties must depend on The children
Of liberty.
In very able report of the mana gers
Of the Port Society of Boston at its last
animal meeting, an exposition is made " OF
the operations which in connection with
the Boston Port Society have been set on
foot for the benefit of seaman "a consid-
Grafton of the success which thus far has
attended them ;-some account Of the ac.
tual condition Of the seamen of the port OF
Boston, with an outline Of the best method
TO be hereafter taken for their improve
ment."
Ii would take too much room TO exam
inc the report at length, and our principal
object now is TO call the attention Of The
editors Of papers throughout the country,
to subject OF perhaps greater importance
than any other, TO our national welfare. -
Our merchant ships must be the nurseries
Of our sailors, and TO this end we must
adopt the apprentice system. There arc
tens of thousands of young men in this
country who pant for the naval service
Their aspirations have there the most un.
bounded freedom. But if they enter our
merchant ships, the natural nurseries Of
seamen, in the present state OF things,
they are thrown amidst mass OF corrup-
ton. II is a fact, that two-thirds of our
sailors are foreigners bad, upprincipled
men, who are ready 10 corrupt the young
that are so unfortunate as 10 be placed
with them in the lorecastle. Let lie ap-
prentice system be adopted, and in few
years there will be an entire change.
This subject is about being brought be.
fore Congress, and il is incumbent on ev-
cry freemen 10 aid iD its promotion. Con
gress will soon be called on for an appro-
priaiion Of only ten thousand dollars, to
carry out an experiment which has area.
dy been set on foot in Boston, and prose.
cuted with complete success. To the ex
erions of Mr.. Taylor, par xcellence, The
sailor preacher. the apostle of pure religion
and the most exalted patriotism. this coun.
try is indebted for the moral achievements
which the most enlightened pbilanthropists
had despaired Of. But we leave this part
of the subject for the present. The APP
prentice system will require that school
shall be established in the great naval de
pots in this country, for the purpose of
training young men for sea service. A six
months tuition will be enough under pro-
per direction. Every merchant vessel
will be required by law 10 take number
of these lads who, instead of being green
hands, win be of real service 10 their EN-.
ployers. What is now wanted is, that the
nation should examine this matter, that
the attention Of Congress may be called 10
the best interests Of the country. We re.
specifully invite the particular considera.
ion Of the press Washington Mirror.
