Labor is the' common heritage of humanity; and in America, especially, it is a heritage universally distributed among the ' people. The' -class of men in this, country who live without labor is so infinitesimally small, that it is difficult to ex press its minute relation to the great mass. Honorable labor is the com Mon feature of all classes and kinds of American society. Therefore, it is not to desPised. Therefore every man .who really comprehends the meaning and idea of human labor will be ennobled and net de ' graded . by it. lie will see in it, not the type ' .of Slavery, but the type of a true manhood. It tvfil:broaden his views of his relations to his fellow-me'n, and,as he rises higher into the corn , prehension of the, true dignity of labor, the betty; distinctions of class and circumstance sa* 'which lie frets and complains, and ligainst which he arrays himself In bitter hos tility in the days., of his ignorance, fade away *id he sees that they were nothing but the fan ,,..i?‘gt: *isles of an unenlightened imagination. The real dignity of labor forbids the narrow, bigoted selfishness which is so offensively Pro iininent inalmost all the labor demonstrations 10 the present day, it is impossible that any shati or set of men can have any true sense of , universality of honorable labor its the distinguishing.charact,eristic of this great (.;.,oc . lnation, and at the same time give utterance to the pitiful sentiment of the Presideht of the lintional Labor Convention,, as expressed in ` i bis annual address : «Of all classes of men, filrerkingmen, have the first and beat right to a • ' bealthy human existence in the nation." • This is the quintessence , of narrow selfish mess and we are sorry, for the sake of the dig , fixity of human labor, to /ear such 4. doctrine proclaimed by any responsible body of men • Americ.a. In; the name of all trite, henest Wiwi labor, we protest against all such-mis ! chievoui dsactrines4 Every man and every , : , woman who breathes the free air of this free j,landluta an equal , right to a " heidthy Luna= tilpinisteiice" with every member of every trades'- , ii, , ,tinioniriae country..' It is a strange thing to, Lear men clamoring for an equality which is *nig tqapply to themselves. It is a strange thixigto hear such men constituting themselves an arittoaracy, which is to grind all other elasi,es of men under its heel. This is, we say, the very quintessence of human selfishness, and the men who can utter or applaud such sentiments have not yet felt in their bosoms, -the first throb of human-labor's real and true ' dignity. They show no advance toward the ' high standard' of Nature's noblemen, until they exhibit some better ,sense than this of the' great truth that not they alone, but all the great masses around them, are partakers both: _ in the burdeni and honors- of - human. labor, - and 'have, with them, the same inalienable "right to, a healthy human existence in the The'siznple platform to which those who are managing-these—labor—conventions — and - other labor movements seem to be striving to 'bring the Mechartics of America is this : First; that -the men who work at. mechanical trades are *be only "laborers" in this country; and, second; that all employers are tyrants and all tbe employed are oppressed victims. We do Mt desire to overstateor mis-state-the precise tendency of the views avowed on this impor tant 'subject. It .is too grave in ite bearings upon the whole social question of America, to be dealt with otherwise that in all sober frankness and seriousness and truth: But this-seeins to be the extraordinary platform .1.0 which the "labor movement" of this country coming, if it has not already been reached. - '. - ' e it'hat both these propositions are radically un :lllituad and extremely mischievous, scarcely ad_ • ' Witt; of logical dispute. In a country like this, ivitere, labor is distributed throughout all classes conditions, of society, it is simply folly to - :41rrogate to any ' one class or con .' ~"AlLition a: priority of claim for class_ • 4.,:tegislation or class-privilege. This claim slay* openly auged. We are now told that there is one class in this nation whose rights and privileges are, higher and holier and better 'Than all the rest. This assumption was once held,-practically, by the Southern planters, but it was , never .quite so plainly confessed. It was an assumption against which the whole spirit of American liberty rose tip at last in armed resistance; and which was forever crushed by Amerlain freemen on the battle field. This nation can never live under class legislation, and yet the National Labor Con- Verition, now in session in - this city, demands this very thing, which the nation-has - already , repudiated as fatal to its very 'existence. • We can have' o antagonism - with the true interests of human labor. We are laborers ourselves, and we honor and, uphold. all who believe truly in the dignity and respinsibility of human labor. But it is the duty of every honest laborer in America, whether his place is in the work-shop, the foundry, the farm, the school-house, the court, the . sick-room, the • ~ counting house, the pulpit, thestudy, the mine, the laboratory, : or the public service, to assert always, as . cardinal truths, that there can be no . pre-eminent . rights znaffee country ; that every num and woman of any color or race, has an Malienable right to earn an honest living in the _.-.

Judge Lewis Dent, the President'q brother-in-law,, is ambitious to,be Governor of Mississippi; and he cares VeiTlittle who intikes him so., 'He has accepted a nond nation • from the absurdly mis-named "Con servative Reiiblicara" party, which is simply a new. name for the Rebel Demo , cracy. We feel like ' apologizing to our readers for laying before them a est dis-- gracefully abusive letter •which this'aspiit to gubernatorial honors has addressed to ecre tarp Boutwell. We print it as an item in the political history of the times and as one of the most efficient "eye-openers" yet furnished to the _public. • ' • Secretary Boutweli not•i only one of the ablest members -- of - President Grant's Cabinet„ but t he is one of the purest; most high-minded, most sincerely- honest, most it reproachable politicians in America. • Judge,. Lewis':Dent bites on a file of refined steel, When he assails George S. Boutwell, and the only effect NMI be the destruction of his own teeth Judge Dent does not like Secre tary Boutwell, because he knows that he can not be coaxed into any scheme so transparent 'as the rebel phit — to seize the reconstructed Government of Mississippi. This is the head, and front of his offending, and, for this Judge Dent puts himself before the country in an at titude which only reflects shame on. hinaself, while it does not touch the hem of Secretary Boutwell's garments: A 4tIUESTIONI - OF HONESTV We have a plain- question to put to the members of the National Labor Convention. Suppose the Government of the United State,s desired to have certain work in its Wavy Yards 'completed instantly, and, because of the scar city of workmen, should contract to pay "me chanics five dollars a day in gold to secure their immediate service, would the sages and mor alists of the Convention approve the action of the Government, if, when the emergency had• pa.ssed,it should insist upon paying its workmen in greenbacks at thirty-three per cent. dis count Every man knows that a howl of in dignation would go up from the workingmen everywhere, and that the idlers in Conventions would induige more copiously than over in wild and reckless rhetoric. And yet these very men demand now that the . government shall repudiate its promise to pay in gold the interest upon certain of its bonds; a promise made when the nation was in gravest peril, when the government was in direct need of money,and when, but for the prompt assistance afforded by capitalists, there would have been no govertinae'nt to secure the rights ,of me chanics or anybody, else. The two eases are entirely analogous"; and the infamy of repudia tionin the first mentioned instance would ,be no. greater thanin the latter. The rich men, and the poor men and .women who invested in these loans with guarantees that their interest ,should be, paid in gold, hare rights as well as mechanics who.do not own any bonds'; and' the government is' as much bound by every principle of honor and justice' to fulfil .`its pro mises to the former as to the latter. r., The National Labor Cdnvention makes this mis take; it imagines that the Government of the United States and the institutions of thiS free country were established for the exclusive benefit of its 150,000' members. • There a.re nearly49,ooo,ooo other people who have an equal interest in them. ' We think it unlikely that thiMaSsachusetts Legislature will consent to sacrifice so good a man'as Henry Wilson fc,:r the_sinuilelirpose nf. placing Gen. Butler in the Senate as die anti- :dote of Andrew Johnson. • - Even -if, the -President siteceeds in 'securing a seat in the • chamber, we need not fear his influence or the bitterness Of-his tongue. That he will,play the blackguard, and endeavor to vent:bis - spleen upon the Senaitors,who opposed his administra- Htion may be regarded as alisOlutzly 'certain. But it will not be neelswy to select for him au antagonist who will give gibe for gibe,and yitu ! peration for vituperation. Possibly the Vice- President understands his duties well F enough to keep Mr. Johnson within the limits of the rules ; and it may be that there are Senators in the chamber who are able to defend themselves ! from Johnson's - Assaults without using his weapons. If Andrew Johnson is elected to the Senate and ac - ts,like a rowdy, he will hurt himself and his partyonly. The people of this country will judge him and his constituents by their conduct.; but they will not be satisfied to. have the Senate given up to him and to a Re ; publican who will answer lain after • his own kind..., Gen. Butler might not,descend to this kind of • combat, , - but if • be accepted the' Senatorial nomination with the express Under standing that he should : play. • bull • dog to Andrew Johnson's bear, we•shoUld regard his election With deepest regret.. • We have had from the Philharmonic Society no report; as yet, of its plait of .compaigir for the coming season, or indeed any intimation that it - intends to make .an atterript . tO continue hi active existence. We sincerely hope, how ever, that its n embers will cling to the organi zation, and determine to accomplishsontething, worthy of such an association Of musicians, The entertainments of last year, althonik!..not . as sueeessful _pe,ciiidarilY as Ahey.should have been, were so satisfactory, in an artistic sense,. as to inspire hopes of better and higher things . in the future.. The discouragements and disap- . pointments, the jealousies and faint-heartedness which combined last season to chill the enthu siasm of the leaders of the society, were of the . kinds which are always attendant upon the in-.- auguration of such enterprises. But now that the public have become, in sotrie degree, inter ested in the Philharmonic, and have recognized the, merits of the concerts given under its auspices, it will require. comparatively little further effort to give it a permanent foothold in the community, and to make it completely poPular: -. We belie to hear •that the (Akers have determined to enter ',.the field again, boldly, and with a . confident expectation of making the society a fixed institution. ~THIDAILYEVENANa, I 3I)ILETIN;,4P-RILADPIP. : , , Y:':',LIVEDI4IE,SDfr -i':-.,',l:llol3Sltilt-c•186W,.:.!• ins&`-1ve .13 P 0 k0 ,4) ...

Let us have an Aliern editorial in the Age and a squib or two on Stewart. • 4 Among the musical entertainments which will be given in this city during the coming winter, not the least attractive'will be those of Mr. Carl Wolfsohn. Mr. Wolfsohn proposes a series of six matinees in the „foyer of the Academy of Music, and he intends . that they shall he distinguished by novel and peculiar features, as his famous Beethoven matinees were. He has secured the services of Mr. Rudolph, Hennig, the violoncellist; and Mr. Kopta, the violinist, and it is likely that he will have vocal music from a' well-known and popular singer. There is a sensible man in the iiational Labor Convention, who reads his BULLETIN and is not afraid to speak words of wisdom and soberness. His name is Pultt, of Indiana. Hear him: . , ' " Let me ask you as men, are you not ready to give to the female s of the United States all the rights you ask for yourselves!? [applause] to give to the colored men throughout the land the mine rights, and thus shake off this'promm dice ? I give to the colored man ail the rights I claim myself [applause], and enter upon the grandlatform of competition, and I - do not Care whether he is a "rat" or a mouse. We must: help one another more. We must have charity one' for another, and do right, come what may. • 0 "I•want to say for the ear of the gentleman over, the way, that I did not question whether be himself be a workingman, and do not think he means that nobody but a type-setter is one. I have - worked all my life, from the time I can remember; and I was in the forests, making bread ...before he was born, and to-day I can - bare hands with him, although I am sixty-five years of age. But suppose I did not do a hand stir but labor mentally. It is, • a great deal harder on thC: constitution. [Hisses.) cannot understand. this thing • of working meaning one kind of labor. I hold that a, man if he labors at anything is a workingman. I never was anything else but a laboring man." Puitt talks sense and talks it well. The National Labor Convention is of the opinion that convicts should only be allowed to labor outside of the Penitentiaries, and then, only such service as shall conflict least with,. honest industry." It seems s a pity that the Convention cannot go a step , farther, and recommend that their industry be confined to honest-branches. It is in consequence of the' dishonest industries that they become convicts at all. Miss Anthony "got in, a crusher" on Mr, Walsh, yesterday. Quoth' Walsh: "I believe in men marrying women and supporting thud." Unto whom retorted Miss Anthony : "Mabry, come up! Bnt, unfortunately, you men do not do your duty. We that have no husbands must support ourselves." We put it to the Age, fairly and squarely. Are President Grant's Dexter tendencies to be compared in wickedness to Andrew Johnson's Sinister ones ? _ The talk about "rats" in the National Labor Convention, yesterday, ended in a ridieuiOna muss.
