community il now suffering for the sane cause.
What is the reason for the horrible fatality az
tending the loss OF the Arctic Simply our neg
lcct Of the ssilor AMI his hsbirul degradation.
How did the crew behave Like anything
but men of honor and courage. AT tue
note of alarm they fed their posi-
and be ii said to the shame and horror oil THIS
country and century not one woman was saved
from the wreck Of the Arctic But who were
these crew that 50 deserted Had they been

chan,dom in this City done to elevate them
What education do the class of sailors receive
How do they live ashore how st sea How
are thew recruited for the service These are
all significant questions, but easily answered.
The cslins of a sailor is one left TO the hands
Of the poor, the desperate, ignorant and drunken.
Now and then some clever, enterprising man Is
found. of personal worth equal to his profession II
skill, who rises to command; but the mass oil
persons in vessels are ignorant and improyifent'
and have no social position. Ashore, they exist
among land sharks-in groggeries and bsgnios;
drunk and stupid and penniles' after land
spree. their wages all gone, and perhaps thelr
health impaired BY debanchery. they a-e shipped
afresh. They live like hogs on land, aud very
little better at sea. Nobody cares for them and
they care for nobody. The wild, terrible nature
of their duties gives them the frames Of iron aud
& coursce to face the extraordinary perils OF the
ocean. But in another kind of courage, the
calm devotion which mental training aud moral
selfIespect can gve-the sort OF courage which
the officer has over the men--the courage OF
high sense of duty growing out of moral eleva-
tion--in this they are generally deficient. 10
have il we must have o reform in the pr )iession
We must have better men for sailors aud they
must be better cared for. They must be guarded
Oh shore and at sea; they must be trained to their
duties as to honors and responsibilities they
must not only be properly educated, but must
baye decent homes on land, where they can DC
secure from the degradation which now besets
them; and the incentives to good conduct-py,
Advancement, sOcisl elevation--should lie held out
TO them. Make them men, and We shall not have
them fleeing like dastards from the post ofdanger
and of duty; but as long as all their social sur
roundngs and influences tend 70 make them
brutes, we must expect that in any such great
emergency the conduct Of the most OF them will
be intensely selfish, cowardly and shameful

BROOKS On pUiG ~,

Mr.. Erastus Brooks of The Express announ ,es
in letter TO John II. Burleson, Esq" that he
will not be candidate for Congress before the
Wing Convention OF tue up town District. HIs
reason is nearly as satisfactory as Jacks for not
eating his supper-because he could Mt get il.
blr. Brooks ,raS a candidate, until the Delegates
were chosen, when they all turned up against
him, and then he concluded not to be any longer.
He says;

power By such means. Convention thus constituted,
Is in no senso Wing Convention, can It's action
receive the approval Of any class OF respectable
citizens.
1T is notorious that our primary meetings were,
in some OF the Wards of the Eighth Congression a
District, controlled by money and bulies, and that

ket is far worse than tho despotsm OF political power
because more corrupt and degrading.
All this is very true, and it was just as true
with regard to the Primary Election machinery
whereby the brothers James and Erastus Brooks
have secured three successive nominstions-the
former in 80 and so for Congress; the latter in
So for the State Senate. During all this time
not mufmur Of dissatisfaction with the political
machinery in those districts was uttered BY these
patriots. But at length Ersstus, while holding
ore good Office in which he has q year TO serve,
makes pitch for another and fails; whereupon
no falls to telling tie truth about the whole con-
cern as though it had never been told before I!
This reminds us of the Dutchman who bought

FUSION IN VERMONT.

Hon. JACOB COLLAMER, Wing, aud for six
years prior TO lS49 Member Of the House, was
on Saturday chosen l.. S. Senator from Yer
mont for full term Of six years from the 4th Of
March next. LAWRENCE BRANERD, q Free
Democrat, was on the same day chosen by the
votes Of ali the Wings and Free Sellers to serve
out the unt xpred balance Of Mr.. Uphams term,
vice Samuel S. Phelps who held under a Gov
ernor's appointment until invited to walk out by
the Senate at the last session. Mr.. Brainerd WAS
q candidate on Fusion ticket for the State Sem
ate in Franklin County last month, and was
treacbeIously beaten by five majority, while his
two Wing colleagues were chosen by several
hundreds The Legislature has seized the first
opportunity to right that wrOng-we doubt not
with the hearty concurrence of the great body
of the Wings of Franklin County. Mr.. Brainerd
will amply Justify the confidence thus reposed in
him.
Judge Collamer has devoted more attention to
Law than Politics, and is strongly conservative in
his cast of mind, but will be found faithful to the
principles and convictions Of his State with re-
gard to Human Freedom. The Nebraska a,t
and its engineers will encounter no sserner an-

THE ARCTIC CALAMITY.

We publish in another place several cOmuuni-
cations suggesting means Of avoiding rePetl-
tion of the late fearful marine disaster. Some Of
these seem to US judicous; others of question
able utility: but we are willing to let sl sides be
heard SO terrible visitation was sent for our
admontion and profit. and we would hayeit held up
in every possible light in the hope that the sum of
instruction ii may afford may be rendered com
mensurate with the greatness of the calamity
The following appear to us among the mos, OBJ
yi0us deductions from this affection
]. Passenger steamships like the Arctic, and
probably all large vessels, should be built in
parm,nfs, any one of which may be stove in and
filed with water without filling aud sinking the
chip. By this means the yesta was saved, though
she had apparently received far greater damage
than the Arctic. The cost of this safeguard is in
considerable when compared with its manifest
utility.
?. A steamship running in fog should be per-
petually warning all other craft to keep out OF
the way. She should ring sharp bell almost in
cessantly, blow a piercing steam-whi,tle every
two minutes, and fire gun every FIVE minutes.
1t is idle to insist that the ships machinery and
motion may be heard great distance, when facts
prove the contrary Here were two steamships
approaching each other in fog, when there was
no storm no wind and no sea, yet no person in
either appears to have been aware of the others
proyi nifty til they struck. Does any man believe
that bell, steam whistle, and gun employed as
Aforesaid would not have prevented this Disaster
3. First safe, then fast, " lie the rule announced
to his engineers by the present superintendent of
the Erie Railroad aud this must be the rule at
sea. When o steamship cannot be sure of giving
other vessels warning Of her approach, she must
stop. We believe this need rarely occur; but
whenever it DOES occur, the necessity for stopping
is imperative.

place thing as it will be hereafter for religious
bodies to utter the voice of justice and humanity
