THE LABORER lEWORTH lIIS HIRE.
The maxim -" the laborer is worth
his hire," is as trite as it is ancient
In eiery age and in all countries.
manual labor has been recognized as
a nece ssity ; in the civi li zed world
its dignity is conceded to be co-equal
with, its necessity. Without labOr
capital is almost useless ; therefore
tliere is no conflict between capital
and labor, and all the difficulty which
has arisen upon this subject has been
the result of ignorance, or occasioned
by the teachings of political dema-
gogues.
In ' -his cannily especially, wealth
is seldom transmitted from fatherto
son for more than one Or two gene' ,
rations! The poor boy-of to' day will
be the' wealthy man of the next gen
eration while the sons of thA rich
and affluent not nnfrequently leave
their posterity penniless. view of
this admitted truth, it is strange that
intelligent men who have not been
born 1 - With - ‘ gold-spoone
_in their
mouths, should be found who sit
idly dow,-n- and ,bewail their fate,
alleging _that capital is opposing
labor, and that the poor man; has no
chance. Who are the largest capi
talists' of the present day ? STEWAIIT
ivas 400 r boy forty years'ago ; Aria
PecKin followed the vocation of a
journyman. carpenter .after he was
grown to manhood. The means by
which - these men have accumulated
their i , ortnties is open to every boy
and man in the country who is pos
sessed of the industry,and capacity
to'become the "architect of his own
fortune." -
While we now and always have
advocate& paying liberally for; labor,
we have no sympathy with thOse who
would enconzagthe laborer to arro
gate io himself ttre right to !control
the property or dictate, to t he ern
ployer how his business shpuld be
conducted. Such a principle, if ac
knowledged, would undermine the
very founlation of 'our gov4nmpnt,
withdraw capital from all public en
terprises, and entail Wanton! misery
and , suffering uric it the, laboring
classes. Independent, discriet men,.
will not invest their means Where it
is likely to be wrested from them by
purely physical force. This attempt
on the part of employes to I compel
employers to accede to demands
which the latter deem unre4sonable
and niajnat, has already hpen the
means of withdrawing capital and
suspending we k in different parts
of the', conntr, to the great loss of
those who depend upon empl4ment
for the means of sahsistence. -
CapitaliSts and corporations should
b e wilting iogive a fair and liberal
remuneration to the laborer, and the
empl•• should stifie•to make him- -
self ii , ,efut and indispensible to the
employer. in no other way can the
, grea„t problem of labor and capital
he satisfactorily solved. The theorY
that right makes right is as danger
ous when applied to . labor as when
assumed by capital, and every at
tempt-to violate'the rights of .citizens,
by whomsoever Made, should be dis
countenanced by every L gopd citizen.
The following extract ! from a re-
cent address made by- Rev. W. H.
LyrrwroN, of England, are so appli
cable to this subject that we subjoin
hen';
"The tfoestion of capital and labor growing
ever, more anarchic, insoluble altogether by the
notions hitherto applied.to it, ix pretty certain
to issue into petroleum ono day, unless some
other gospel than that of `Dismal.ficience
come to illuminate it. Two thinds are pretty
mare to me. The first is, that capital and labor
never.can or will agree together, till they both
first of all decide on doing their work fruthftll
ly throughout, and like men of conscience and
honor, whose highest aim is to behave like
) faithful eilizens of this universe, and obey the
eternal commandment of the Almighty God,
who made them. The second thing is, that a
sadder objet than either that of the coal strike
or any conceivable strike, is the fact that,loose
ly speaking, all England has, decided that the
profitablest way ix to do its work ill, slimly,
swiftly, and mendaciously. What a contrast
between now. - and, say only a hundred years
ago? At that latter date; (or still more con
spienunrey for ages before that, all England
awoke to its work with an invocation to the
Eternal Maker to bless them in their day's la
bor,'and heti) them to do it well. Now, all En
gland, shopkeepers, workmen. all mariner of
competing laborers awaken, as if with an un
spoken but heartfelt prayer to Beelzbub : Oh.
help as, tholigh great lord of shoddy, adol
terittion, and malfeasanne, to do-our work with
a maximum of slimness, swiftness, profit, and
mendacity, for the Devil's sake , Amen!':
Mu. Morro v, in' his biief reply to
rn
Scausz,.sumed up the creed 'of the
spe,ciej-fesumptionista as
,folloirs:
"Free trade,a email volume of currency,
law uigi:s, and direct taxation." This
is the doctrine .of the ancient Dem'o
qacy, of the modern Democracy, of
Liberalism, and of all -the cliques
and factions which to-day vainly
strive to unite against the Republi
can party. The creed of Republi
canism is. the opposite of these,
namely : A judicious system of
protection to home industry, with -a
view to the, widest diversification of
productioni the highest attainable
maximum wages to all class of
labor; a lirge volume of currency,
guaranteeing to
,every legitimate
e aterprise a prime- necessity—cbeap
money; and a plan of revenue which
shall bear most heavily upon the
luxuries of life.

I Might refer to a more :- •nt article in this same
newspaper affecting a clefs ion in which, Philadel

the Senators from Penney rants have felled to-force
upon the Renate s meestue which it was their ditty

Terming to it that the Se . ate may bear witness as
to Whether either,of the - -actor. from Penney!wa

maintaining. the interes ' of the State. Both of
them, I trust, have too mn li respect for themselves
and their associates to euPpose that. they could or
'would cons-nt to force an - bill upon the Senate.
When falsehoods are published as my opinions
upon pnbllc questions, in which the people of my
State are largely interested, as if uttered by me, my
duty, to them, they say, r tires that I avail myeell
of the only means left me. r- meeting and refuting
such an assumptiOn. The reporter of 'the Philadel

I have not hesitated t nounee my tteliefi that
specie payments could not resumed in the near

will favor the best system f free banking that can

-To a paper currency n traded in amount irre

ons to the permanent and st Interests of all class
es of society; and these opinions I have not hesi
tated to eapress upon the oor of the Senate. litho'
the condition of my thr t, in consequence of a
brochial disease, has be - u such !that I have re
frained/zone-speaking at 1 gta upon this and many
l e
other questions that I deal dto have spoken upon.
But upon this very subjec , upon the very day on
which this dispatch was se t trom thd city of Wash.
ington to the Philadelphia rens, in answer to a mu
gestion of my colleague, I aid upon the floor of the
senate. and it Is

ject. Igo turther, and sal
atoned. it is not possible t
that resumption during all
Ing.panics. .
The closing inference 4 - this , dispatch, which is
pdwere tasif it my dee! tion, is th.t I favor thii
policy *canto I desire toduce We of labor
here to a level with that of the pauper labor of En.
ii i
rope,' That is it in sublet ce. Now, -sir. If there
be any Senator upodthis._ r who is open to the
charge of advocating a p y which instead of di
minishing. will increase th wages of labor, I think I
am open to that charge, a a it can be sustained by
numerous quotations from my speeches when the
tariff and reeenne bills hare been nnder discussion,
- to none of which will I delay in referring here; but
/ condensed my whole oPieions upon that question,
in operating upo that milked. Into the declaration
that I believed that the pot cy which I was then ad

that policy would - make r contented and capital
secure. 1 have never ente tied or uttered such a
eentiment_about the wage re. labor as that reported

rication and a falseh . .
Now, Mr. Presidett. wit the proprietor of the
T od
paper which first gave ncy to this f ilselice4 or

ITHE TOwNLY—LAWRENCE _ESTATE.—
i As many of the readers of the Beroterza are
`interested in the following statements, we cops
!them fur their special interest:—El.
The Adrian Press, of the loth, contains the
!following statement couearning the expectations
!aerie of its citizens: • ,
"One of the largest estates that ever fell to
lAmericau heirs is just now being brought into
!notice, and as one (dour well known' citizens is
lan heir, if becomes of no little local interest in
*this city. Mr. W. T. Lawrence, together with
!the other heirs, has been at work at the matter
!fior the past twenty /years, and yesterday he
received a letter front his attorney notifying
him of satisfying progress, saying that he may
be shortly called upon to visit- England. Mr.
Lawrenefibas already expended over 1.5,009 in
effectinA theresent state of a ff airs. The
Li
!William T. L relic° referred to tie'ow was Mr.
r i
Lawrence's; ether's grandfather. , The folio*.
t , ing is a. brief genealogical history of the estate:
1. 'fho Townley estate is of many millions' in
rinciney in the Bank of England and land lii
I Lancliashire, England, and other places, inelnd
ling Curby Castle. Richard Townley, the &need
[tor Townley of Lancaster, owned vast estates
!which descended through several generations
i tolliehard Townley . ' of 'Townley . Halt, who mar-.
t ried Mary, the daug hter of Lord Widrington,
land had two eons and two daughters, viz. • Mary
land D••rothy. Mary . married John Latihmee,
land Dorothy married Sir Francis Howard.
!afterwards Lord Effingham, who owned 'vast
!estates in Corby. John Lawrence and Mary
!To coley, his wire, emigrated to America about
the year 1719, and died in the State of Mi l s,.
Isachusetts, leaving one son, Jonathan. Lord .
Effingham died without lag e, and his Wire be
!came sole heir to his estate. She died soon
!after, leaving her estate to Mary Townley
Lawrence, in America, and by.s failure of the
; male line of Richard Townley his estate reteru
%lto his daughter, Mary Townley Lawrence,
: and at her death it descended to her son Jona
. than Lawrence, of Walpole, Mass., and •in a
direct line in the male issue to William T. Law
rence, of Lansingbnry, D. B. Carver, of
Albany, a successful lawyer, and one of the
most skillful antiquarians of the day, has been
retained by some of the heirs, and has carefully
icompilech and traced the pedigree from the
• year 150 in England, and through the line of
Lawrence in America, and has the evidence and
. facts on which to lay his claim in England.
He associated with him George Day, of Troy,
N. Y., and they have the assistance and counsel,
• of the Hon. John Day, of Montreal, brother;of
George hay and Counsel to the Queen, a gen..
tieman necessarily, from his position, of great
legal ability, and who has accarated knowedee
of the records in England re:atingto the case.
Mr. Carver anti George Day expe ct - soon to
he able to lay their i laim for the recovery of
this vast estate, and will go to England for
thit-perpose. £he estate is worth the marve
lous sum or upward of £100,000,000, a large
portion of which lies in the, Bank of England
awaiting the very proof which Mr. Carver has
dug. out of. registers and other documents,
many of them more than 200 years old:"

on the 27th, at midnight. The

were Capt. Bradbunv and the first

who were all washed overboard awl,

TOME is a small Post-office in
Tioga county, Pa., from which the
Department could get no returns. A
Wellsboro gentleman was requested
by the Department to find whether
there was such an office, and enquire,
why no report WAti made quarterly.
He did EC), and the ,P, AL replied that
he did not owe the Government
anything, as he bought his stamps
at Wellkboro, neither did it owe him,
and thetefcire there was no need in
making a • quarterly report. We
learn from one of the Roate Agents
that another Post
. Mkater in Tioga
county has an erroneous idea of the
mode in which_,he should 'stop a
newspaper.' that -is not taken out.
Instead of writing on .a blank pro
vided, giving the reason, whether
death, removal or refusal, he sent
back last week to the office of publi
cation a Baptist newspaper, on which
he had written the following: 'The

THE New York Tribune is taking a
bold stand on the side of the smug
glers and revenue cheats *among, the
New York merchants. It finds the
English langiage incapable of pro
ducing words strong. enough to ex
press its loathing of thoSe.who have
brought the offenders againit the
revenue to jaitice, and "spies" infor
mers. and other sexthing epithets
are litirl3d with surprising vigor at
the men in officeTwho thOught it'was
thekr duty to enoroe the laws and
protect the national revenues.
Three-fourths of the importing
merchants of New York are said to
be foreigners, who locate in that city
to qh!ckly make fortunes and return
to their homes in the old world to
enjoy them. These men have no
sympathies With our government or
people, anal ark very widely of that
kind who d idn't care how they make
money; so 'that they accumulate it.
It can easily be imagined how ready
such men — are to`avoid paying duties
on their - importations, quid what a
harvest they would have, at the ex
pense
or our national revenues, if
there were not official eyes, upon
them to watch them Why the Trib
une should think it such an outrage
to make these men observe the laws,
or punish them if they do not, it is
hard for an individual unacquainted
with "the Ways that are dark" in
large cities to - suggest. But then the
Tribuzi is an independent reform pa
-per, and in that is involved a good
many things which it is impossible
for 'old-fashioned honest people to
understand.
AN OLD MAINE LIQUOR LAAV.,- In
July, 1690, Maine being then a Brit

At one of their , sittings they declared
the following as the law pertaining

Whereas there is great complaint
made of several abuses taken notice
of in ordinaries by excessive drinking
rum, flyps, etc.' The ill consequences
whereof is publickly seen in the mis
behaviour of several persons in the
presence of authority for the prevent

therefore.

The work originally Published under the title of
Tug New Ammaces CY:O.'iP.EDI,A. ]was completed in
Isca, since which time e wide circulation which it
has attained in all 'tif the; tt nitedlitates, and
the signal develop:Lien which hive taken place in
every branch of sci ence literati:ma'am:Vert; have In. 1
duced theseditore and bashers to submit it to an
time a
and thorough nivielon, read to'issue a new'
edition entitled Tue Agnates's Cretne.Tents..
Within the last , ten years the pregreas of discovery
in every department of knowledge. has nade a new
work of reference an imperatire,want."
The movement of political affairs, has kept pace
with the abicoveries of recience, and tlieir fruitful
application to the industrial and *eel, its "and the
convenience and refitionient of social 'life, - Great
ware and consequent revolntioes have occurred; in-!
voicing national changes of .peculiar moment. Ihe
civil war of our own country, athlete was at its
height. when the last Tolume of the old work-ap
peared, has happily ben ended. iuld lytirw course
of commercial and industrial, activity has been
commenced.
Large accessions to our geogra hicall knowledge
have - been made .by the indefati o ble eplorers of
Africa. - • I 1
The greet political reolutions of the last decade,
with the natural resu lt of the larise of time. have
brought into public' vi a multitude of new men.
whose names are i every one's month; and of
whose lives every one le curious to knol i the partio.'
Mars. Glees battles bare been - fought nd impor
tant sieges maintained , of which the ,de site are , as
yet preserved only in: the newspapers; or in • the
transient publications f the day, !but which ought •
now to take their place kn permanent and authentic_
history. '
In preparing the pre tit edition for tie press, it
has accordinwy been t e aim of the editors to bring
down theinformation t the latest possible dates;
and to furnish an been • account of the most re
cent diecoveries In scie ce, of every fret& produc.
tion in 'Astatine, and f the neatest inventions in
the practical arts, as w ll as to i give a succinct and
original record of the p ogress of political and; his.
toilets! events. •
rbe work has been b gun afterlong nd careful
pre:iminary labor, and ith the most ample resour=
ces for carrying it ont a successful tern :dilation.
the original tereotype
None of Iplatesi have been
il
used. but every page has been printed on new tyre,
forming in fact a newl Cylopzedia, with! the same
plan and compass as itenredecessor, but with a far
greater pecuniary expenditure; and with such irn. l
provements n its compositionlis have I boon iingl,
gutted by longer experience and enlarged knowledge.
The illustratlane which are j introduced for the
first time in the present edition, hare been 'added,
not_ for, Abe sake of pictorial effect, b u t to give
greater ludicity and force to the,expLanaons in the
text. . They embrace ail brenchei of Bei nce and of
natural history, and depict the most fawns and re-
markable features of , scenery, ueliitecteire and art;
u well as the various procesece of mechanics and
Manritactures. Although interided for iiestruction
rather than embelllshinent, no !pains have been
„spared to insure their artistic excellence ; 'the cost
their execution is enormous, and itde believed
