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 ver cnuilicr, or require submission and icrvility un the part of any.

Nothing of a special note occur red during the p issage, un'il Wednesday, September 27, when, at tnun, wc were on the It inks, in lal. 4b':4j north, and lon gilu le 52 wcsl, steal ing west by comjiass. 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 'no them in uptU of oj-p mti-jit. j -1 r - , . s-: '-hi state of ,hii.gs, I ordered die boats aieru tube kept in re.idii i.,i, ' in re.tiluicM.

The only ollieer ' lefl, was Mr l)orin. the (bird m ite, w hoaided m-'.vvi.h die assistance of many of ihe passengers. 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 ship sunk. 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 main yard and Iwo top giiLnl y ir Is over board, and sncii o her small sp is and ma criuls as we could collect, when I vv fully cxiiiviuced that the ship must go down in a very short time, and not a mo ment was to be h,-t in gelling ihe spar luh'ned together lo form urafl, tu du w hich it became necessary t. get the life-boat, our.cnly remaining boat in the water. This being accomplished, I s.ivv Mr Uorain, the chief officer of the U.;, tak ing care to keep the. oars on board lo pre vent them from leaving the shin, honing still to get most of the women and children in .Ihis boat at last. They had made eon si lernble progress in collecting ihe spars, when an alarm was given, that ihe ship vas sinking, and the boat was shoved oh ivithout oars or rnything tohelp them selves with, and vvl en the ship sank lh boat had gut clear, prob..b!y an eight of a mile to leeward.

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. Our rafl was rapidly settling, as it ab sorbed w.ter. Abu: noon, Mr. S. M. Wu'ruff, ol New York, w.i r licveu 1 y de-.th. Atl .he others now began l sail- r very se verely for want cf wvir, except Mr George F. Aden and myself. In that re spect wc were very mm h favored, ul thotigh wc had not a drop on the raft. The day continued foggy, except just at noon, as near as we judge, we had a clear horizon for about lia'f an hour, and noth ing could be seen bu. water and sky. Night came on thick ami dreary, with our : miiitU iiu.de upthat neither of us would airaiii see the light f another day. Verv soon three more of our suffering parlv ' were reliev ed by death, leaving Mr. Allen - , t young man) and mv self. Feeling my- .cli greatly cxliaus'ed, I now sat downj for lite firnl lime, about 8 o'clock in the I evening, on a li ij'ik which prov iden, ially iiad been found on ihe wreck.

Soon after lay light, a bark hove in sight lo ihe north west the fog lnving hgh'ened a little stee ring apparently lor us; but in a shor, time she seemed to have changed her course nd again we were doomed lo disappoint men ; yet 1 felt hope th: t soma of our fel 'ow snlfcrers in ty have been seen and rescued by lliein.

AdJ though sixlcn centuries have rolled sw py, the truth of that answer remains still tin-. ihaken. Let every parent immov l.t. own householJ, let him educate Ids child- rpn, according to the definition of Web ster, and beyond that, let let him CJrefull cultivate and fs'ahlish in their minds, a disposition to tnink correctly on all suh. jects that may corr.e under their observa- Hon. The idea of correcting thought ia of very ex'ensive signification. It is th basis of ail knowledge; it is the founds, tion of oil goodness; it is the medium, through which the minJ obtains a know' edge or the existence of virtus. Through i s influence, truth it recognized, and thu universal and eternal existence of moral and physical law is determined. It re jects the lordiJ distinctions with whicS the world is cursed, end recognizes ia their stead, an equality of right. It spurn wi h disdain, the contempt of toil, and shows, thet as God has surrounded us with mailer, requiring to be modified for use, Ly virtue of a universal equality, all should panicipale in labor. It teaches tha slave to rebel against his matter, and whis pers in the ear of the peisecuted, that ty- ranny is for the time, triumphant. It ta. , cnguizes woman as the mother of man kind, and authorizes such a development of her intellectual powers, as will render her capable; properly to bring up, and train those to whom the future care and responsibility of our glorious Institutions are to be confided. Correct thought is I he basis acquired learning the super structure. If the latter Le reared upon the former, the storms and tempests of adversity, may beat and rage with the1 most remorseless fury in vain. But yet ufler all, what tf correct thought? and Aou is it to be so generally eultivaied and es lablished, us to be of any practical good lo mankind? The establishment of this great foundation lo ll.e proper education ol the child, belongs exclusively to the pa rent. Properly, lo do tins, it prc-suppos-es, in him, some knowledge el hurajti na ture, together with a tolerable accurate conception of right and duty. The g greg. te of men, and especially those si the lieuil of families, have u sufficiently cle-r idea of those great fundamental propoM- eiw, allied lwt ), (,! vf,- -ami -.o,i siitute truth and right for all practk.l purposes. A great amount of intelligence is not absolutely iiccc:!ury for, this pu'-po--c. but it requires an tuiettamg Watch fulness and atU'inioc, in hnpsr.ing i.t' proper time, and in a mar.Tier n.i'ed n childhood, such instruct! ins as will maki hem sound thinkers, accurate reasoners. and good men; having a just conception of tin ir du'y toward each other, and a dispo sition faithfully, t any sacrifice, to dis charge it. That such instruction and ad vice may Le taken by the child, tiie parent must obtain ii confidence. Confidence is a flower, that can flourish ordy in a soil, watered by kinlness and affection. Ti e frosts of harshness anl severity, nip it in the bud, and in such cases it never Llooiri, never comes to perfection, never brings forth the blessed fruit of truth, which is no beautiful, so angelic in children. What parent in the wide-world, is there, w ho would intentionally bring up his child ren (o lie? und yet, how few escape the snare that under the qnive of prental af .i c inn, by foolishly and Ignoraiitly humor ing ihtm in infancy and youth, they create and cultivate a host of rlilV.ial desires and wants, for ihe after-gratification of which, then children become liars and thieves. If you have obU-ined the confi dence of your children, teach ' them to purn Ilia jilmm.at. tum)uw ra matter what the reward. The same system of instruction, will teach thern to eschew the smaller meannesses and grosser crimes, hit make life miserable, and in the end, lead to infamy and degradation. The idea of kindness to insects and aniiaals, ear ries with it, the i lea of kindness to each other, and becomes the basis of a pure and unadulterated benevolence, and kind ly sympathy for the sufferings of the un forlunete. By imparting to them just Do- lions of industry, you w ill, in realiiy. clig nify labor. Show them the necessi'y that God has established over tha human family to toil, end that what he has or dained as our du'y, it should be our fUea- sure lo perform. Abolish all distinctions between men, save those that snrin? from a neglect of duly, or the commission of crime, and oti will contribute greatly to- gard the diminution of those evils, that nuw sfn.ct society. Teach your children method, order, arrangement. This mar bo Li-gun, Ly accustoming thein to puj aw.y, or hang up their garments upan,re- iring to rest.
