Workingmen and the Radicals. _
The strangest political phenomena
of the present time, says the Baltimore
Sunday Telegram, is the blindness and
gullibility of a portion of the working•
men of (him country. If like the over
worked 19ilerts of the "etfete de•S'po
tisms" of Europe, they Were the ig
cornet, slavish and dependent MlTOw
ers and adulator's. of aristocratic capi•
tat, no one could be at all surpriseed at
the ease with which many are blinded
to theirtrite interests, or made the
toils of a de,ceitful faction. On the
contrary, hott•ever, the workingmen of
this country possess ct goodly, if not the
major share its intelligence, they con
tribute most largely to the support of
government, they are the best informed
upon the principles and history of our
form of government, end are the most
deeply interested of all the classes
which make up the mass of our popula
tion in notintioning pure and intact the
republican instittitions in which they
11.441 so large an interest, and the pies
, ervation of which should he their great
, est care tind'firniest purpose. That ev-
en a minority -email minority—of a
'oily of men like these, who feel their
power, know their rightarexercire their
duties; and prerogatives of citizenship,
appreciate those thaws, know their own
needs by experience and learn the
wants, convictions and sentiments of
their fellows by a collision of ideas de
!IA to the pampered children of ease
and afTlueige ; should Hermit themselves
to he blinded by radical clap-trap, in
fluenced by the fawning of deintig ,, . ••,
or deceived into indorsimr, tho ;se
,of a faction that • has ti , it one sympathy
or interest in common with theirs, we
confess our utter inability to understand.
Yet we see around us every day, not
particularly in this State" but through
out the country, budms of workingmen
ostensibly organized for their own pro
tection, malls the dupes and Pails of a
faction that has consistently warred up
on and slaughtero: every interest that
was valuable, every institution that was
dear to thetn, and which has proven it
self their especial foe while it pretended
Lo be their especial friend Despite the
treachery exposen, the frauds detected,
and de+pite the lessons that men 90
in
telligent and deeply Interested should
have learned from the past and the
present, it certainly appears startlinc,.
that even the smallest minority of them
should confide in, endorse or your,-
tensile° a party that tops them only to
their injury, and caresm;s them only to
degrade
How much confidence they can repose
in radicalism the past ni well as the
present demonstrates 1 r pon the eve of
nn election,Congress passed a law decla
ring eight hours a legal day's work in
workshops and navy yards of thegoverie.
ment The new administration which
had thus bid for the workingman's sup
port were not warm in their seats before
the Secretary of the Navy issued orders
to pay eight hours wages for eight hours
work, and 40 construed the law as to
leave the question of prices rind labor
exactly as it stied Before the bill was re
portisl to Congress Palpably the in
tention was to bribe workingmen to
sustain them with their vote', and then
haying used and direivod them "to re
mand them to the goratition from which
they were led to beltve they had es
caped Needing the oefes of the work
ingmen in subsequerkt elections, the
President was indub . ed by his party and
not by the appeals of the Workingmen
nir by a sense of justice, nor.by any ob
ligation of law, to issue an order that
workmen be paint the same price for
eight hours labor as they formerly got
for ten. Right on the heels of this pre
tended concession, however, the admin
istration attempted to exact, and is at
present exacting that of the working
man which is of far higher moment
that the paltry wages of a few hours a
day, and which is nothing less than.the
virtual disbandment of all labor organ
izations, the only effeCtive barrier or
weapon that protects labor from the op
pression and encroachment of capital.—
For the pitiful sum of two hours wages
per day the workingmen aro to degrade
themselves to tin equality with the ne
gro, to take him into their workshops,
to compete with him as their poor, to
crow overboard the constitutions and
by-laws of their labor organizations and
comply with the regulations which gov
ornment contractors or officers may im
pose in their stead. H is to swallow
the negro head and ears, ho is to cut
loose from his fellow mechanics strug
gling in a common cause for a common
aim, and be i• to sayer the ties of lin-
pithy and interest that hir d him to his
craft fir the sake of obtaining this extra
stipend, given by his employer as
'bribe or rewind for becoming a traitor
and n foo to the (muse and the interests
of his' former and morn honorable R 440-
elates. The contest between the Wash
ington Typographical ITLion and Mr.
Clapp, the government printer, is one
of the many evidences of this. • The new
regulation in the various Navy yards
and workshops of the government are
also instances in point And yet the
radical party have the impudence and
the insolence to appeal to the working
man, and in many instances their veri
est tools have Insinuated themselves in-
to labor organizations find flattered and
duped a portion of their members to lift
their hands as weU against their brother
toilers, as against their own future in
terests, welfare and self-respeet.
But further,at the very moment when
minions of a deceitfid arid unscrupulone
usurpation are sowing the tares of null
elitism among labor organizations, the
Government is striving by force and
fraud to complete the nuthitention of
the workingman's influence by placing
the ballot in the hands of the competing
negro ; striving to degrade the white
inechante to an equality with the illiter
ate African ; closing out ports by high
tariffs that the capitalist and speculator
may reap large profits from the necessi
ties of the working masses; wringing
froni his earnings an enormous taxation,
that deprives his wife and children of
the very comforts 4 of
• and makes
and keeps his home desolate only to
pour the fruit of his sweat and toil into
the overflowing coffers of the favc red
bondholder, and to pamper the extrava
gance and feed with luxuries its,,partt
sen favorites. Nigro than this it takes
the food from his mouth to support a
standing army that the South may be
ruled in elm interest of the dominant
faction, and that an opportunity may be
kept open to violate, disregard and de
stroy the last vestige of the Comititu•
tion, the egla of the workingman's lib
erty, and the few retuning in•titutions
of an almost .dditeratist republic. ht

It would take columns to point out ui

by the most corrupt, dishonest, perver

et the faction that thus nggriever has
the auoncity to ask, and in 5 , 11110

Now, what workingmen in this coun
try have received at the Monk of the
radical party to ho thankful for, miles,
it be injury, ruin, oppression and insult,
we would like to know They are tri
fled with and devolved whenever it suits
the purposes of the party to use them ,
they are crushed down to the keel of
brute creation ; they are not admitted
even to a share of the paltry offices, for
these are parcelled out 01114/1114 tllO pro
fisssitinal party managers. Yet there
are men, professing and calling them
selves workingmen, who are so stupid

in this State, but that there should be
any at all is a sad commentary apt the
weakness or per versity,of human nature
From all accounts, Mayor Fox,
of Philadelphia, seems to have acted
very badly toward the Democratic vili
fy, which placed Jo ii 111 power. We
are told that he took pains to scatter
his police force in such a manner as to
deprive most of them from voting,
whereby the Democracy sustained a
loss of six or seven hundred votes. We
are also told -that the day before the
election, the a Myor wAscloseted for a
long time with Gov. Gamtv, and that
then and there was concocted the
scheme whereby the Democracy was
defeated. The reason for this, we are
told, was Fox's gratitude to the Radi
cal Court for the then anticipated de
cision which has since kept him in
office, while ousting all the other Dem
ocratic officials elected last fall. If
their charges be true, the mayor has a
serious bill of indictment against him,
and it will require all his ingenuity to
atiews.r various counts. We are griev
ed to helieve such depravity in a Dem
ocratic official and trusted member of,
