Liberty is tar more glorious than despotism; but it loses none of its freedom or energy from' being wisely and healthily, organized. A very , few men at M ashington,appointed to direct the tremendous aid of Government to certain useful aims, can in a few weeks effect more than thousands,-in the course of years,laboring at random through the country. Therefore I have said—and this brings me to Mr. Orth’s proposed bill—that while it is a recognized tact that in no country has unaided individual industry ever wrought such wonderful results as in America, it is, on the other hand, not less true that there never ras witnessed elsewhere, such enormous waste of capital, be it of means, of brains, or of la bor, for want of that cd-ordination of interests which it is in the power of States directed by central bureaux to supply. The effect of such Bureaux or Industry would he a judicious study ol the inaustrial iuterests of the country at a joint centre, which is at present partially, but most imperfectly, carried out. Starting with the great principle that indus try is the corner-stone of free institutions, Mr. Ch th proposes To group into one, and a new, department of the Government: Now with all respect to those who I amazed at Patent Office Reports, hardly provided for at all by Govern ment, compared to what might and is to be There js not an intelligent prac tical farmer in America who will not appreciate the va§t impetus which could be given to agri culture by an enlarged study of its interests and relations throughout the country, and bv the facilitation of legislation on such subjects. Bc hEAU OF FREEDHEN’S AFFAIRS. i , Tl ' e P r °™ce of this bureau is that by which four millions of Jiuman beings “now i : n thei Providence of God restored irom Slavery to Life, can be taught the means of self-suste nance, and he protected by Government as the guardian protects his ward.” In fact this sub ject is daily assuming such overwhelming portions, that even without Mu. Orth’s grand system of co-ordinating the Industrial Policy of Government, it must have compelled the establishment of a special bureau, or its equi valent. In connection with the Freedmen’s' Bureau, the wisdom of instituting an Agricul tural Bureau becomes self-evident. m. THE BUREAU OF HINES AND MINERALS. The enormous, the incalculable mineral wealth of this country, and its capacity for development by aid of Government, has as yo; PHILADELPHIA? TEURS MR. ORTH’S BUREAUX OR INDUSTRY. BY CHAEDES GODFREY DELAND. Hon. G. S. Orth, of Indiana, has intimated, by motion in the House of Representatives, his intention to present a bill for the purpose of establishing Bureaux of Industry , the object of which wjll be greatly to facilitate our Gov ernment in developing the resources of the country, and to stimulate Free Labor iu every form by removing many obstacles from its course and presenting many inducements to its advance. Having for, many years earnestly cherished the hope that the development of national ‘ in. duatry and the power of free labor would soon reach that point when the creation of such an organization as this must become in evitable, and having frequently published my conviction to that effect, I would now earnestly entreat every true friend of free labor to give his attention to the measure proposed. Let it once be made known by the press and fairly comprehended bf the public, and it cannot fail to he hailed with acclamation-by every honest, practical, thinking man in the country. More than a year ago, when the opponents of the Administration—and with them not a few short-sighted friends—were clamoring for a manifestation of a decided “policy” from Abraham Bincoln, I prepared, and sub sequently published,'a pamphlet, the object of which was to show that, apart from a vigorous prosecution of the war, the only policy possible to our government was that of the development of national and individual industry on a grande r and more vigorous scale, and more thoroughly than had ever yet been attempted. And as I believe that certain views in this pamphlet directly illustrate the very broad principles on which Mr. Orth’s bill will be based, I take the liberty Of citing them. The present struggle between disintegrative States Rights and federal Unity (or Republi canism) is also a war between the joint interests of capital and tree labor on one part, and capi tal in its harshest and most limited form on the other. These joint interests of capital and of labor Tot 1 a vigorous central representation and administration, devoted to the constant devel opment of national wealth and industry in every form. There is a certain step in Repub lican progress when all idle discussion of abstract theories by professional politicians (such as are agitated .by the “copperhead” leaders of the day) must give place to substan tial work, and to principles based on facts and Ccures. We have .reached that point. This industrial policy,which Urges the firmest union States and unity of power and action, also demands the development and supply of certain demands of free labortc/iicA shall have the effect of strengthening the power of the people in due proportion as their government shall be strength-\ ened. In a few words, let the people make their government great and strong, and let government reciprocate bv unwearied efforts to employ, and educate the people. 1- —■■4 BUREAU OF AGRICULTURE. OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. t. A It is apparent—etujugh* that by means of a Bureau regulating thoSiomestic demand for labor and the foreign supplK taken in connec tion with our Ilomestead TOIL our population may be increased, and that almost entirely in our uncultivated regions, to an incalculable amount. It would be in one respect a vast in telligence office, and should be authorized and enabled to transfer, free of expease, from their ports of departure fromj Europe, all emigrants ulioi will contract to settle in the conquered rebel west of the Mississippi. These are the Bureaux proposed by Mr. Orth. I would suggest that he adds to them a Bureau of Instruction, or of Education, which shall be devoted to collecting and dissemi nating information on its specialty and , 10 extensively reducing it to a prac tice. Such a Bureau would do much goed in encouraging the collection of statistics, in aiding the press, and in imparting culture in many forms to tjld as well as young. I would ttrge, indeed, that this bureau is essential to the completion of the scheme, and am sustained in soUoing by the belief that the wisest of Ameri cans also thought so. No one can, I think, read carefully Washington’s Farewell Address tvithout perceiving that what lay near his heart was the principle that to maintain “a govern ment for the whole” and “ a unity in govern ment” we must adopt an industrial policy, and that itagreat. support of this would bo educa tion. Mr. Orth has, even by proposing this reform! merited such-honor as few men win. Admit ting an Industrial Policy to be the true ouo for our government, It follows that the system of central Bureau of Industry is inevitably its next step. The passage of his bill is like that of Emancipation ; something * Which must be sooner or later, in the natural course of events —hut the sooner the better. He has planned, next to the great .work of the President, the proudest monument of the great free-labor movement of the day. Such “motions” move nations, if not mcio-dramatically, a la secession, at least tbeeply, and to great ends. His constit uents may well be proud of their representative for they have in him one who works with hear and soul to bring about the aim of the purest Republicanism—“ The greatest good for the greatest number.” / FROM NEW ORLEANS AND KEY WEST. • CAPTURE OP A BLOCKADE-SUNNING STEAMER BY A TRANSPORT. .The new steamship Western M.-tropolh, from New Orleans Jan. mi, arrived at New York on Wednesday morning.
