: IE1C0CXACT AKD CHRISTIAN! IT
The doctrine f democracy, ns well a;
Christianity, recognizes the essential uni
ty cnJ equality of out rnce. If man
were a mere bittte animal, he could claim
tio other rights ur priviiges than those that
belong to a bmie. If ie possessed f;cul
tic Biiptrior to those of mankind, lie
Wight have ground ttpon which to claim
niperior right nnd privileges. If n por
tion of mankind were created beneu'.h the
x'andurd of Jiuninni'y, and another portion
above that standard, grounds would exist
upon wi:ieh to build up !. sanctions, winch
neither Chrisiiiini'y or D.'inncraey iiT'ows.
We hold that the doctrine of democratic
equali'y, is ; fso a doctrine of chrH,i..miy ;
wid ll ul reither, udii its the rilit cli one
lusi to exercise uu'ecraiic dotiiination

The JJible rceogni.s ami openly de
clares the common origin and brotherhood
of tLc race, iiinl $elti s the ijtii siion cou
eeriiiitg the essential cciuility of ciitF.:! e:it
cliissts. Tl.i doctrine i clearly involved
in the following law: " Thou shall love
tl.y neighbor .is tl ystlf."' Cio.l who sees

The law of God .equires us lo regard
-fich one of our neighbors as wc regard
ourselves. Vhal is thin but an assertion
that our neighbors ure tij'ntl lo ourselves
tnd 'eonseq'ieritly equal lo each other.
Such is the doctrine of chris i.mity. Tin

same. The sentiment embodit-s the whole
'of ehristiaiiitv, to far ctt it relates to ou"r
feilow-men, and is id en ical ui'.h l!ie doc

of democracy must be earnestly embrac

can be no obedience lo tit Divine Law.

on the It inks, in lal. 4b':4j north, and lon

The wcalhcr had been fcrtry durini;
ihcday; generally a distance of a half t.i
three quarters of a mile coul 1 b! seen, but
at intervals of a few ininu cs, a very
dense fog, followed by being silin.iculU
clear to see one or Iwo miles. At m.oii
I lcfi the deck for the purpose of work
ing out the position of the slop. In a.xmt
fifteen minutes, I heard the cry of "lurl
starboard" from the officers of the deck,
rushed on deck, and had jus! got oil.
when I felt a cash forward, and at the
same moment saw a steamer on the afar
Ixiiird bow; and at the next moment she
struck against our guard, and pas.sej as
tern of us. The bows of the strange ves
sel seeine J to be literally cut or crushed
otl'for full ten feet; and seeing that she
must probably sink h a few minu is.nnd
taking a hasty glance al our own ship, and
believing that we were comparatively un
injured, my first impulsp was lo endeavor
to save the lives of those on board the
sinking vessel. The boats were cleared,
and the first officer and six men left with
one boat, when il was found our ship was
leaking fearfully.
The engineers were set to work, being
instrue'ed to put on the steam pumps, and
'he four dee!: pu-nps were worked by
ihc passengers and crew, and the ship
headed far the land, which I judged to be
about fifty miles distant. I was compell
ed to leave my boat with the first oflicer
and crew to lake care of themselves.
b?veral ineffectual al tempts were mnde
to stop the leak, by getting s.iils over the
bow; but fueling the leak g lining on us
very fas', notwithstanding all our very
powerful elTorts tj keep her free, I re
s dved lo get the boats ready, and as many
i: ui js and children place I in them as pos-
i!d ; but no sooner ha 1 the attempt been ,
made, fiun Ihe Jufm'n and ftten rushcJ j

who deserve great pr..i.u for iheir cool
ness and energy in doing all in their pow-,-r
uplo the very latest moment before Ihc

The chief engineer, ith part of his as
siidanls, had taken our smallest deck bout,
and before the ship went down u!Ied
away with about fifteen person.
We had succeed in getting ihc foe and

it became necessary t. get the life-boat,

This being accomplished, I s.ivv Mr

still to get most of the women and children

I was in the act of Irving to save my
child, when a portion of the paddle-box
came rushing up edgew ise. just grating
my head, and falling withi s whole weiglil
upon the head of my darling child. An
other m.micnt, I beheld him lifeless in the
water. I succeeded in petting ot. lo the
'op of the pailillc-bo.x. in company with
e'even others; one however, .oin left for
another piece, finding that it could not
support so many. O hers rem lined, until
they were one by one relieved by death.
We stood in the water, at a tmperature
of forty-five degrees, up to our knees,
and frequently the sea broke directly over
us. We soon separated from our Iriends
on other parts of the wreck, and passed
ihe night, each one of ns expecting every
hour would be our last.
At last, the w ished-for morning came,
surrounded with n dense fog not a liv
ing Soul to be seen but our own party
seven men being left. In the course ol
the morning we saw some water casks
and other things belonging to our ship, but
nothing that we could gel to afford us any
relief.

shows, thet as God has surrounded us
