We are daily exposed TO the occurrence OF s,ni-
lar calamities, from the absence Of the safe
guards and precautions which the companies
are bound by law to provide. There is not
ierry or excursion boat that leaves our piers
that Is not liable Ia founder within sight Of the
shore, with just as extensive loss Of life as
that which occurred on board the Lady Elgin.
On none Of them are proper provisions made
against collision or fire. Even In the simple
matter Of lie preservess, there il either no suf
fcient stock Of them, or the few that are to be
found are in such condition as to be next TO
useless.
II is time that some effort should be made 10
protect the travelling public against the dan
gers to which they are exposed by the parsi-
mony of steamboat companies or the incompe-
tency of their officers. What the frequency Of
the catastrophes due TO these causes has failed
to effect, ia the way OF example, Legislation
should accomplish. There may be differences
of opinion az to the measures that should be
adopted to render steamboat travelling less
hazardous than at present, but on two
conditions all will be agreed. PasseDger
vessels should invariably be built with water
tight compartments, and there should be such q
uniform arrangement Of lights and fog signals
on board Of them as would render a collision in
the darkest night rezt to impossible. Had the
Lady Elgin been thus provided, we should, IL
all probability, have been spared the harrow
ing details which have inflicted go much pain
upon the public mind.

to 60 even further than that. We look now at
The South, aad find 1t teemiag with wealth,
while the West cannot pay its honest debts.
The Southern States increase steadily In popu-
ia,ion, white ard black, and If the foreign trade
should be suppressed altogether, slavery il too
firmly rooted to die out
So We find that there is q good deal Of nom
sense in this last harangue of Mr. Stewards, and
that lie has employed all the graces OF rhetoric
to trick out few illogical propositions and
pssudo-philanthTopic conclusions. His real
points are the same a those made h. Spooner
sets school, that slavery is unconstitutional,
and that it is to be abolished gradually aud
through the means Of the republican party.
The government having once passed into the
hands Of Mr.. Seward and bis friends, all Of its
power, legislative, executive judicial, is to
be devoted to the extinction Of slavery wher
ever it exists. The agitation IL not to cease
with the election OF Mr. Lincoln. The soldiers

lie We need hardly say what would
be the result should the Seward idea
be practically carried out There would be
civil war, anarchy and bloodshed in the land
All sections would suffer, but the North more
than the South. The commerce of the city Of
New York would receive blow from the
effects Of which 1t would never recover. And
fnalIy, We can assure the men Of the North.
west that whatever may happen hereafter,
New York is just now the Empire State, and
that we intend to exert the imperial privilege,
60 far as the defeat of Mr. Lincoln Is concerned.
After much difficulty arrangements for the COM
bination of the opposition to the republican
party have been made, and the chances for the
joint electoral ticke. In this State are more than
fair All that is needed is earnest, devoted
work from this time till election day. The
State is against Sewardism by at least hun.
bred thousand majority, and the utmost exer-
tons should be made to get out the whole con-
servative vote. To the merchants and me.
chanics Of New York this election Is especially
important. Let them work, >tben, while 1t Ia

THE CENsus-TuE GROWTH or NEW york
The census is not yet completed, but probably
will be by the 10th inst, though the law ex.
tends the time to the LIST of September Enough
is now ascertained TO show that the population
of this city has increased thirty.three per cent,
and that IL is now about 100000, TO which, il
the population Of the suburbs of the city be
added-as We have a right to do-there will be
a total Of a million and quarter, from which
il appears that, outside China and Japan, New
York is In population the third city in the
wo rid; and If It's growth only continues in the
same ratio-as there is every reason to believe
IL will-this metropolis will soon be the first
city in the world. It's growth Is the measure Of
the growth Of the country. while the United
States grow II will necessarily grow in the
same proportion, and that growth is unprece-
dented In the history Of the world. IL il only
the breaking up Of the Union by fanatcism that
can check the growth Of this great Empire City,
or retard the rapid increase of the population
of the states, or prevent the speedy devclope-
ment of gigantic resources without a parallel

remote eStremities. and exercising more OF less

DANCERS OF THE STATEN ISLAND FERRY
Is there no law, ordinance or regulation to
prevent the Staten Island ferry boats from
taking a load of passengers which renders
frightful loss Of life at any moment imminent?
This is one of the most frequented ferries run.
ming from the city; and, we believe, with the
exception Of one boat none of them employed
there are considered safe or fit for their bust
ness. On the occasion Of the sailing Of the
Great Eastern, on Monday, the boats were
crowded down to the waters edge, and 1t was
AA same on the Fourth Of July. If the slight
eat panic had occurred-even from the most
trivial cause.-the results must have been fear
ful to think Of among such a dense mass Of
people crushed into so small space
There is hardly Sunday that hundreds of
human lives are not placed in jeopardy on
these boats. One can readily fancy what the
consequence would be should collision occur
or an excitement of any kind arise on one of
these boats, with thousand people on board
and absolutely no means Of saving a single life,
except a few life preservers, slowed away no
one knows where. There are no small boats
kept on board, and life preservers, we need
hardly say, afford poor chance Of escape when
a thousand or even five hundred people are
cast upon the waters in a heap. Should
catastrophe happen on the Staten Island boats
on any Sunday, not the strongest nor the calm.
est passenger on board could escape drowning.
This is something terrible TO contemplate,
and yet it is liable to occur at any time during
the summer season. The proprietors of this
ferry should be indicted for this reckless ex-
posure of human life If the law can reach them;
and il not, the Common Council should see to II
that the number of passengers on the boats be
limited TO an amount which will afford some
guarantee Of safety.

While the Prince of Wales, the heir to the

spectators, surrounded by fleet Of crowded
