The disputant of the Dispatch tells us that leg's. lative enactment would be absolutely necessary in case circumstances absolutely required it; suppose we put his position in proper form; "Tbe,people can live vvithunta Ten Hour Law of they Cannot. If they cannot, let them have a Ten Hour LAW— if they ran (although such is accompanied.by the afflictions of poverty and, pain, and although such a law would in an eminent measure mitigate and remove them) if they can just live without, tt, let them have no Ten Hour law," A positiorrof that kind, iAhich supporta the infamous policy of stand , stiltism, the commonestiscavanger has sufficient capacity to confute. So beautiful an inference would have shed additional brilliancy upoo the reputation of an Aristotle or an -Avalon.
