a this important election, the cnneervative whigs may sefely count on the cordial and unanimous €o-vperation of the democratic delegation. They have no pr ctot electing a democratic Senator to succeed Mr. Dix, and their alternative will be, toad in the election of the candidate of the de- | gp, d independent portion of the whig party. hewill, in pa gp ots be well for the friends of Stevens, Collier and bs pap to maintain aneutral position, and to refuse to go into any eaucus with the friends of Sew mauon cfa candidate; or, if they go into sucha caucus, they should refuse to hebaiad by its ac- tion in any manner, In every contlict, we desire to see right triumph over might, and we desire to see truth successfu! over error, We believe that the election of Wilham H. Seward would be an arbitrary and unauthorized reversal ef the popular judgment which consigned him to oblivion, ard from which there is no appeal. this gentleman is to be taken up again, let him be taken up by the people; he hasno right, at present. to accept any office which is not constitationally an elective office. He should wait until the people express a wish to avail themselves once more of his services. His acceptance, then, of a nom- Ration of this sort, which, I am pertectly aware, can only be secured by the most audacious in- trigue, would not give the public a very exalted notion of his modesty. Mr. Seward isa very re- specteble lawyer and a good ciuzen; if he had not unfortunately associated himself with an anti- mason, who has forfeited all claim to the regard ot the public, Mr. Sewerd at this day would have been one of the most prominent and successful men in the country. Since the nomination of General Taylor, Mr. Jobn Young, of Albany, has been boring him with acorrespordence, in which the amiable little Go- vernor has attempted to impress General Taylor with the idea that his success in New York and Pepnsy!vania was perfectly certain, and that it was owing entirely to Mr. Young’s extraordinary influence which had been exerted in behalf of Gen. Taylor. John Young is, in two or three things, very like John Tyler ; he is wondertully conceite and vai, and, at the same time, quite as unpopu- Jar as Captain Tyler. Mr. Young actually believed that he had a chance for the nomination for the Vice Presidency, under General Taylor ; and this fanny little idea caused him to perform a journey 10 Rain ton: just before the meeting of the Philede!phia Convention. Mr. Young’s unfortu- tunate failure was qnite comprehensible to hin; but with the mest child-like simpheity he declared that he would not oppose the ticket no- mineted at Philadelphia. He then attempt ed to secure a re-nomination for the office of Governor; but the politicians betrayed and de feated him. This second cut was more incom- preheasible to him than the first; but on this oc- easion he exhibited the same gentle and placid submission, and he even had the magnanimity to declare that his influence should not be used ainst the man who had eupplanted him. Mr. Young is at present engaged in a laudable effortto secure a seat in Gen. Taylor’s cabinet. This en- terprise should be rewarded. Can’t Col. Webb t up a petition praying Gen. Taylor to do some- ing for the little Governor ? - Mr. Fillmore, the Vice President elect, is stay- ing at the Delavan House, in this city, with his Jady and daughter. Congratulations peur in upon him. Mr. F., 1 am gled to-say, 1s enjoying fine health. This man is-one of those honest and il- fustrious men who are elevated to high public offices by a spontaniety of Ropalay feeling, which as without control, and@ which 1s altogether inde- ndent of party intrigues and party villanies. Mar. F., believe, hes never been idenufied with the trickeries of party politics. He has been above them.

Evorrment—Its sap 'Termination.—Last even- ing @ remarkably fine-looking Pennsylvania Dutch lady, some twenty-two or three years of age, accom- panded by another woman and two men, entered the pe'fice office and demanded a warrant for the arrest of © mulatto woma) nd a negress. who had assaulted leer in the street. Her case, as etated by herself to Capt. Lawler, of the Guards, was oae of much interest. She was living a happy life with ber parents. who re- side on the bank of the Missouri river. The com- mander of one of those beautiful packets plying be- tween this and the upper ports on that river became epamored of her beauty, and asked her hand in mar- riage. The lady consented. but her parents objected. and the captain then proposed an elopement. The ledy courented again, and was soon placed on board the steamer, and brought to this city. On the arrival of the boat, the captain proposed plac- ing the Jady under the protection of a German female acquaintance, until matters could be arranged for the marriage ceremony. Last evening, the loving ooupla were walking near the corner of Lecust and Second ftreets, when the lady was attacked by a mulatto wo- man, (who is chambermaid on the oaptain’s boat,) assisted by a strapping negress, and, according to her own statement, shamefully maltreated. The wenohes did not leave her untii they bad entirely stripped her, leaving ber in a state of perfect nudity. Duriog the denuding process, the mulatto put # question and made a statement, which she rapidly repeated at the top of her voice. but little ealeulated to soothe the nerves of the lady attacked Her cry was,“ What are zu doing with bim?

He will take with him a party of about twenty | men. who have hitherto been under his command in & | similar expedition, and who cheerfully join him in this, which is undertaken at his p: expenre and from his devotion to science. He has been engaged for sbout ten years in scientific explorations of the vast | region etgeeed By the Missis-ippi to the Pacifis ocean; and. if his labors had not been interrupted by | the Colifornia difficulties, he would probably have | completed by this time the great work on which he has | been co long engaged. and with which his name has been thus far identified.

After so lopg and unwearied devo- tion to this rcientific enterprise, he bas naturally felt unwilling that it should be abandoned from any cause whatever He bas learned the geography of the coun- try thus far by the most patient observations and re- searches, amid difficulties and privations of no ordina- Ty character, and, with a knowledge of the key points remaiping to be examined, in order to perfect the whole he now undertakes this private expedition. If he had not been prevented by unexpected occurrences during the last two years, he would, ere this, have run the re- majnining Jines, and examined the unexplored dis- tricts, ro ae to have been able to give a complete map, from actus) rurveys, of the vast country traversed, of which so little was accurately kaown before his expe- ditions.

We feel sure that every generous mind will be pieared to learn that he is resolved to finish these explorations bimsel!, and without waiting for the slow action of the government. The recent acquisition of New Mexico and California renders this work of vast practical importance ; and, as emigration will soon flow thither, the exigrante should be in possession, as soon 8s porsibie, of ull the information these researches can give.

Cuances Duncan, examined.—When we were four days cut, the mate sent the man up on the yard; while he was doing something on the yard, the gantline run cutof his hand, and went overboard; the m he thould pay for it; deceased said very well; witness said no, for that he, witness, had raved the rope; he came down, and the mate called him; he was then on the starboard ride; witness don’t know whether de- ceased heard him or not; the mate ran after him, the deceased ran through the galley door, and the mate caught him by the collar and gave him over to the tecond mate, and ordered him to be brought aft; he was then brought to the starboard side, and the man asked if he woutd turn to; he said no; the captain then came out and a+ked him to turn to; he said no; the recond mate up fist and struck him ‘in the face; the rst mate ordered him not to strike the man; the captain then raid something to the mate; does not know what reply the mate made; the captain then or- dered him to be tied up; he was tied up, and the cap- tain ordered the recond mate to get a rope’s end; he brought it, and the captain did not like it, and sent him to get anothor; he then went ot a fifteen- thread rope; brought it,and asked the captain if it was big enough; he said it was, and then he ordered him tofog. The remainder of the testimony was simi- lar to that of the former witness. Wiitiam Davie, examined — Was a sailor en board the Albambra; shipped at New Orleans; deceased was coming down the starboard mainrigging; the mate called him; he did hot answer; the mate ran after him; the manzran through the galley; the next witness saw. was the second mate bringing him aft; the second mate struck him; chief mate ordered him not to strike the man; Captain came out ot the cabin, and ordered him to be tied up; he was then seized by the mate, se- cond mate, or carpenter, and tied up. The remain- der of the testimony was the same as that of the for- mer witnere: Anxtoixk Fernanvo, steward of the Alhambra, ex- amined. Testified that no liquor was given to any of the crew on the day of the occurrence, The evidence of the chief mate, taken on the pre- Kiminery examination, before Judge Betts, was put in, and read, to show that the deceased was flogged on the loins, and that he never spoke a word while he was being punished. The cate for the prosecution here closed. The defence was then opened—the theory of which feemed to be that no malice was proved, and that, therefore, the crime of murder could not be sustained. It was insisted, the punishment was neither severe nor inflicted in a cruel and unusual manner, but in the lawtul extrcise of the prisoner's authority to mai tain discipline on board his ship.

Cinevrt Counr, In Apwinanty, Nov. 12.—Be- fore Judge Neleon — Mortimer Livingston vs, the Steam= boat Kapre hin isa libel flied by the owner of the Yacht Mist against the rteamboat Express, for damage cccationed by @ collision occurring in this port. The Mint war lying at anchor off Whiteball dock, at the urval anchorage ground for vessels of that description. The Fteamboat bad just taken in to nal boat, heavily laden with coal, at one of the North River pierr, for the purpore of carrying her round to the Kast River, there to be taken, with other boat to Alkany The cana’ boat was towed by man, and to hit harder; de. ‘an carpenter on board a hawser fome fifty fatbome in length, fastened to the stern of the steamboat, and, on coming round from the North to the East River, the latter parsed on the inside of the Mist. between herand the Battery. Ae she came round Castle Garden, the boat in tow took arheer out into the river, which the eaptain and a hand on bosrd of her, with all their exertions at the helm, could not break, by reason whereof she came in con- tact with the Mist. head on, abaft the forward chains, and stove in ber plank and timbers, besides dolng other serious injury, The captain of the tug was warned Py, the master of the tow, at the time she was lashed to the serpy, that the boat steered badly. erpecially when heavily Jaden, 98 rhe then was, and a reque that she should be take towed at the sern; tl aa refused, and ® hawrer finng to him, to Jesh her astern. The was not under the commend or direatieg of the master of the tow, but under the command and direction of ker own captsinjand hands. The tow Was steered under the direction of ber captain. The collision tock place about 5 o’clook, P. M., of the 13th October, 1846, in calm and pleasant weather, the tug having in no other vessel besides the canal boat. The sheer of the tow commenced, according to the clear weight of ibe evidence, soon as the tug straightened vp in her course from the North River ers, or as she was coming round Castle Garden ; aad Trooutinues widening from the track of the tug, not withetanding the exertions of the captain and hands on boaid until the collision occurred. There is very little doubt, if any, (hat it was seen by the hands on ard the tug, scon a’teg it commenced, and that i, ‘was also seen that it was bot in the power of the mas. ter, wit) all his efforts, to break it; and yet no mea. sures were taken to arrest the sheer, or to avoid the danger. which must have been apparent. Ow theoon- trary, the tug continued her course at a speed of from six to eight miles an hour. It is true, the hawser Was paid out from the tug some ten or fifteen fathoms; but tbis was not for the purpose of arresting the sheer, but of imcreasing it, so that the tow might be enabled to pass the Mitt on the opposite side from the tug. Under there circumstances, though th» mas- ter of the tow may have been in fault for want of ekill or attention in steering his vessel, and, theretore, properly reeponsible for the collision—we *re cf opinion the captain of the tug was also in fault, for not taking earlier measures to avoid it, by stop, ing bis versel. There cam be no reasonable doubt, upon the evidence, but that the collision might bave been avoided, if proper attention had been paid to the navigation of the tug; and, after the cap- twin bad been warned that the tow steered badly,and was requested, for that reason, to take her alongside, it was his duty, in passing round among the vesselt lying at anchor in the bay, to bave kept the strictest Watch over the tow, and to have seized the firat mo- went of apparent danger for the purpose of arresting the sheer and preventing the collision, An idea feems to have been entertained on board the tug, that if sche was not in fault, as reepects her own navigation--that is, if she io navigated as to avold coming in contact with the damaged vessel——no re- sponsibility could be properly attached to her ; that it then rested exclusively upon the vessel in tow, to whore bad navigation the collision was immediately attributable. ‘This, we apprehend, isa mistake. The tug is alo retponeible, if the damage could have been avoided by the exercise of reasonab’e skill and atten- tion on her part. The navigation of the tow is de- pendent upon, and controlled by, the navigation of he tug; and it may not unfrequently happen that the joint action of the hands on board of both vessels, 1s essential to prevent the happening of acollision by the former. In all such cases, at least there exists a common obligation to make every reason- able effort to avoid the danger, and a common respon- sibility in case of neglect ‘The case before us is one of this dercription. Whether the rheer happened at first by the fault of the master of the tow or not, itis quite F sege tu be and the hands on board were unable to reak it and bring the vessel back to her proper track without the aid and co operation of the tug ; that, we think, might have been rendered in searon to have avoided te ditaster if proper attention had been given to the condition of the tow, and such attention should have been bestowed. eepecially after the warning that had been given to the captain in respect to the bad pavigable qualities of the veerel By consenting to take charge of her under these circumstances, and particularly taking her in tow by astern haweer, after Ube admonition, the captain became. measurably, re- fponsible for her navigation, or, at least. for extraor- dinary care and attention to her navigation in the pas- sage from river to river among the vessels in the bay The business of towing vessels by steamboats is com- paratively modern, and bas become extensive upon all the navigable rivers of the country. The obligations and responsibilities arieing out of this kind of naviga- tion, and properly resting upon the respective vessels concerned. are novel and peculiar; and there may be fome difficulty in assigning to each vessel its proper mearure of responsibility— a difficulty that is intrinsic arising out of tte peculiar relations which the reepsc- tive vertels bear to each other in the courre of the na- vigation. In all cases where the tug is under the di- rection and control of the master and hands on board of the tow, there is no difficulty in assigning to the Jatter a responsibility for all the dsmages that may ppen through the fault of either versel; and the co verse of the proposition will hold equally good, where the tow is under the exclusive direction and control of the tug. But where there is a divided command and direction in the navigation of the vessels, there must necesserily be, in some measure, a divided and s-parate r-sponsibility esrigned to each. What that measure shall be, is @ question of some difiloulty. In the case before us, the helm of the tow was under the direction of her captain; all other means used in the mavigation of the boat were under the absolute control and direction of the master of the tug; and such is understood to be the common relation which these vessels bear to each other in the business of tow- ing op and downthe North River. Now, although the tow, her master, and owners, are properly chargeable for any ivjuries that may happen by reason of neglect or unskilfulness in her management, in the course of the voyage, it by no means follows that the tug is free from tault. Her power over the navigation of the tow is psramount and controling,to which a corresponding Terponsibility necessarily attaches; and in all cases, where the proper and reasonable exercise of that power can be interposed for the purpose of arresting and iding the injury impending, she should be held responsible for its faithful exertion, and an+werable in care of neglect. Her whole duty is not discharged when she is so navigated as to avoid committing im- mediately the injury herself; she must guard, so far fairly lies within the power she exercises over the coiliding vessel, against the danger of any injuries being committed by her. In this very case,if the master of the tow had had the tive power himself, he might hat lision, notwithstanding the sheer of his vessel. See- ing and apprehending the ¢anger, he would, as would have been his duty, slipped the veasel at once, and have thus arrested the dangerous consequences of the sheer, whether it arose from the fault of the helmsman or of the navigable qualities of the canal boat. The motive power being entirely under the control of the tug, this duty devolved upon the master and hands of that vessel, and the meglect to discharge it properly, under the circumstances and in the emergency, fait- ly enough subjects her to accountability for the da- mage that happened.
