The Skies Brighten. —For a long time past the Democracy of this State have been divided. So bitter have been the feuds, that many supposed a reconciliation was impossible. We never thought so. We always supposed that when the crisis ar • rived, making it necessary, to act in a solid pha lanx.and defeat our ancient enemy—Federalism— the Democracy would discard all divisions, and meet the enemy in solid column. This union of our forces is now happily about being consum mated: may we not say that it is already ronsura-j mated? Are those who still oppose harmony and concerto! action,of sufficient importance to justi fy the assertion that disunion still exists? We wjsh to Speak in no harsh terms of those who still oppose a union. We would rather invite them, in language conciliatory and earnest, to abandon an opposition that must inevitably drive them into the ranks of our opponents, if continued, "or toioyerwhelra them with defeat, if they persist in their present-course.— N.

The claims .of hit* j manity, of right, should supercede even those of j the great statesman. The happiness of the race j takes precedence of the individual. ’And if John ]C. Chlhoun knows a truth, available for human good, and retains it—suppresses the expression thereof—he is a misanthrope, and poorly fulfils his part as a member of the great family of man. ; The assertion that labor creates wealth, iSj I be lieve, incorrect. Labor, applied properly to nature’s raw material, the result, is wealth. The Laborer may claim a paternal relation to such wealth ; but he is not a Creator; and he may not claim exclu sive rights thereto, for at least two reasons: be • V cause the raw material on wlycb be labored, was nature’s gift to the whole human family ; and he, being but one of that family, could cluim only a co-partnership relation thereto—nof-exclusive pos session—the right or power to do therewith';as he’ 1 :lea«es, is admitted. The right to mal use or de stroy is conceded. Civilization, with present phaze, still recognizes the paramount right of society, to use individual iV'enlth to subserve public interests ami to destroy- that, which can be made available for human good, will not be recognized as right* by any rational man. Should br. Allen still assert the claim of exclusive possession—-for the labor er to his labor—then, let him strictly adhere to the terms of bis claim—take the! labor, indeed. Yes, he may, when he leaves the raw material as he found it. . u Labor is a trinity. I —This,l fAnkly confess, I do not understand; but what follows, when he asuerts, “ If future or present labor use the ‘tools created by past labor, wear out ihe machinery that others have produced—they should pay for their use—or recognise Ihe light of capital to usury If the dried labor, labor mingled with the sail in the form of improvements, call to its aid present effort and skill, it should reward them, with them, according to their uses in production.'* This is very plausible; but very unjust Itis the claim of the civilized Capitalist, who makes his share ail that he can get, for the use of his*.capi tal in producing. The error lies in assuming for capital, or past labor, the power of production.— A thousand dollars or bushels of tVbeat, of them selves. can produce nothing. Labor, rightfully applied, produced them ; and the satne agent.'musj be again applied for production. { But why thing produced by Labor should invested.‘vriln rights—vested rights—and claim to lake from its producer a portion of the fruits oLbis ef forts, is not mode appaient. Dried;: labor, or cap ital, does not produce. It has no rights; because it has not sensations. Living labor has rights; j, has sensations ! It produces!! It has the right to Happiness!! I The happiness of all mankind, is the Rationalist idea; and the use of ail nature's gifts to progress onward to the goal, the means The right of all to use, and that none shall mono* police, is the true democratic principle. Usury is the impersonation of ail injustice.

Dear Madam: I’he course you purau e, remind me of the saying,—“ One is scattering firebrands, arrows, and death; and saith, Behold, it is in sport!” You have tried to undermine the good princi ples of those who would listen to you. Do reads over your sentiments, on the subject of marriage anti legitimate birth ; and calmly consider, if they do not Strike at Ihe very foundation of Religion, and Murality. Those which I allude to; youvvill find in the tale of the’“ Haunted Church,” p|_ in the philosophizing that you enter into, aftdrsta. ting the birth ol Alice. They remind me off the teachings of . Fanny Wright, and those of her class ; but not of a woman professing Godlihess. You, a woman,' have left a life of retirement and domestic duty, to enter the arena of political strife; and lead a political party. I have often heard of petticoat government, but have seldom seen the reins assumed so publicly.: The Liberty party must be badly off for a champion, when they cannot find anion to defend them. Women, generally, look ft'men for jnup porl and defence; but this is reversing the prder. In a republic, it sounds strange; but there; ore prodigies in every age,—some of strength, sofne of wisdom, and some of independence. ‘ ;•>: All are subject to your attacks-i)ho on. the Bench, the Minister in the Pulpit, anih the Constable in the alley. None arc too honorable, and none too vile ; and you grasp them with un washed hands, and so besmear them with rilJuse, that they could hardly know their own But your attacks resemble the ravings of an en raged termagant, more than the refined argufnents and polished wit of an intelligent and amiable woman. ‘ , You should remember, that abuge is not argu 1 ment; and ridicule is not wit; and, that it is unbe coming for a woman to attempt to destroy the character of the honored and the good. '* Adieu, Madam, and may you culirate more of the spirit of gentleness; or I shall think yputhus band has a remarkable taste lor wild animats:— for he has in his possession two Bears, a Panther, and you, Madam. You will excuse the rudeness of ;tny manners: for I am the wife of a farmer, in moderateUrir cumstances; one of a class whom . you so ihuch despise, as narrow-mindedend ignorant.

We were never in an Odd Fellow's Hall before, and cannot say how the An ’geronas compares with others; but the latter is .entirely furnished in a style far superior to any oilier room in the ;ity, which we have visited.— ft is not large, but the furniture, decorations, car pels, Sec. are in the best taste, nnd have been pre pared without regard to labor or expense. Tbo .Lodge is but a few’ months old ; and is, we learn, in a very flourishing condition. fO* Fhe Ball ol ‘he Journeymen Carpenters '* as good—what was of it, but in point of num- Tjers, it was a grand failure.

As h/.was only a private and in real need course no one cared Iqr him ;but had he been an officer, with plenty in bis pockets, a public supper would have been tendered him.

In this condition he Is' carried home to bis family; and such a scene'as this is deemed by the vulgar Andrew Stewart, and the coarse whigs by whom he is surrounded, a fitting scene for insult,-laughter, fun, and merri mem! Verily, is not Andiew Stewart a suitabl camlidate for Vice President, for “ all the decencye party ?—Kric Observer. Baptists in the United Stales. —The Baptist Al manac and Annual Register for 1848, gives the follpwing grand total of Baptist organizations, ministers, &c., in the United States: “Ministerial associations, 564; churches, 9,888; ordained minis ters, 5,657; licensed preachers, 1,109, the number of baptisms diibing one year, 30,509. In the en tire world there are said to be 12,504 Baptist churches; 8, IGS ordained ministers, and 1,013,830 church members, and the number of bnptisms in one year is set down at 07,004. Hence, it appears that moiV ti.au half of all the Baptist churches and ministers in the world, are foond-in the Uni led Slates. -Uncommon Case —The Hew Haven Register tells us that there rs living in the city of Norwich, an aged gentleman, the progenitor of five genera tions, all now living. lie was born on Sunday— his-vvife was born on Sunday—and his eldest child on Sunday! and lie had a child born on every day of the week, commencing with Sunday morning and ending on tSaurduy evening. All the first bdpn of the five successive genera.ions were born on Sunday —all are males and all bear the same name, and all are now living. Of these, the last born is the son of the fourth or fifth (we do not know which) child of his parents. The oldest of the five gener ations,' is 95 years of age—the youngest between two and three months old, so that .the distance which separates the two extremes, is but little leas than a century. Canadian Ministry. —The new ministry has al ready been fotmed, and is as follows : 7 Hon. R. B Sullivan, President of Council. Hon. R. Baldwin, Attorney General, C.W. W. H. Blake, Solicitor General, C. W. Hon. F. Hincks, Inspector General. L. H. La Fontaine, Attorney General, C. E. Hon. H. J. Boulton, Solicitor General, C. E. Hon. A. N. Morin, Speaker of House of Assem bly. It is generally believed that the first and most important act of the new Ministry w'ill be estab lishment of a paper currency, by bank issue to the creditof the province, suitable to present emergen cies.—Detroit Free Press. Can it be so?— A Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says: “It is stated that Mr. Clay listened attentively to the whole argument in the Rhode Island case, before tbp Supreme Court, and highly compliment ed the Attorney General and Mr. Hallert, on the ability with which they sustained the validity of the I)orr gevernment, and pronounced that they were right in the abstract." If this be true, Mr. Clay has not quite aban doned republicanism. “ The Bradford Reporter ' —the organ of Mr. Wrlmot and his Proviso-—having two weeks ago signalized itself, by a bitter attack upon the gene ral administration, has, as we perceive by its last number, commenced a series of personal assaults upon Hon.
