which isfie.D., 'erally styled commoa, the buminess
would be !tivested - of a great deal of,its mystety.
• 'Some pr.iple will'say, that it is mucheasier to find
what is wrong than to say 'what is right; and
is true in a certain degree; but regarding tbe
.tultivation of tbe land,there are certain inviolable
prisiciples _which should be always
,kePt in view,
.• - and - these ,I ,will endeavor to eonmerate._ ' •
**,
•,:•-• The first that strfires ran is the Clea.ring of the :
ground. 1t la - absurd think oftrying to grow
- grain under'trees wood, nor is it sufficient to
:take-away-part of them—l mean, pf course, with
the - Mita perfection. For instance, suppose you
have fiftylrees on an acre; that is, about one to
;every three squarerods, the toil capable of bear
: fur fifty bushel& of wheat, or one bushel to each
tree', and suppose that you cut down forty nine of
them, you be able to grow forty-nine bushels
- instead of fifty—the annual waste or cost of that
tree • being. the value of one bushel Of wheat, or
I
whatever crop might have been on the three rods
' 4 -of ground which that tree monopolized. There
_fore it Is necessary to clear the land before you
at tan,grow graiii, it re: reasonable and self-evident
that it should be entirely cleared, every fractional
partyou leave'doing injury in its degree.
The next point to notice is theAryoess or wet
mess of the soil. See if the stagnant water is sof
' ficently near-the surface to do injury to the crops,
. even by' capiliary attraction, which science tells
us, will raise water, four feet--aid; science has
; . :lhown its that it mint not be much . nearer; there.
Icire if * the stagnant •Water be much nearer thari
- four feet i llthiajt that depth. It - it absurd to.
attempt, to cultivate land against so Nivel - tut an
'S . enemy as, water,.
Thirdly, we consider "the pulverizatihn of the
soil." Ought it be pulvetized at all ? To this
• !petition - I think our common sense will give an
'answer in the affirmative, so.that the plruit may
more easily expand'its roots to seek for nourish
ment in the soil, which soil and which indveriza
tion should extend as far as the roots of the,plant;
hat' is it common sense to think that five or six
riches only is the dittance that the roots'of plants
- extend?. I will not take advantage of, a few facts
• • that,have, been noticed- of the- immense depths
tha.t roots descend; lint'merely appeal to common
- sense,- and 'ask:whether itis not reasonable to sup
. pose that the, roots
,beneath'extend as far as the
plastSeabove the.soil, and if so, - ought - not the soil
~be pulverized to; tbia 'extent, vii.;about four feet?
• - -The first, expense of this, lam aware, renders it
ilaiotifithpracticable; but. this I cannot ,
cannet:alter thn,trifeprinciPler of nature.' , ilmust
with - north - ion sense,' that the deeper you
pulverize, the more you move in the right diree.

The - Oragade agatnitt -Labor.
The crusade against Labor continues towage with
fiendish and unabated ferocity", through;the whig
papers of this City: They may call it by any other
name they 'please, less olfensire to the Understand
ing but the fact is notorious ms the sun gives light,
that a not4iracy,, hasbeen entered into, not only to
violate the tato of the'Commonwealth, hut to oppress
and degtade the - lionest laborer, and to bunt down
every person Who declares himself to be the labor
er's friend.. - The hired scribblers fight right valiantly
fbr their thirty pieces 'ofsilver:. That . Whig Editors
oiler the elietton should engage in a villainous war
fare against the rightist)! the laboring cla s s es can ex
cite _
the wonder of 'peraon ; for they baregrasetical
ty 'adopted the abomitable sentiment of the great
father of whiggery— ,4 let the dart:ailment take care
of the rich, and the rich will take care of the poor: ,
But, that any man who prtfettea to be governed by
the mild, benevelentand Christiaarprinciples of the
Democratic party, should seek, to degrade and eal
slave the Mind and body of his fellow.beingl, is in
deed strange—wonderfully strange !
Since the beginning of time;the world. has been
cursed by tyrants, taskriiastera and oppressor& Es
cry great reform, intended to benefit mankind, and
ameliorate their conditioa, has been adopted;after
many long days and perhaps years of severe strug
gles and cotifiicts. A class of Men has always lived,
who believed that none but the 4, rich and the well
bora , P should make laws for the people, and that
the great mass of manki lad were 4, born with saddles
on their backs, for a privileged few, booted and
spurred, to ride them:,
The great Democratic party of this country have
contended: thee" the blessinge of go vernment, like
the dews of heaven, should fall upon all alike, the
high and the low, the rich and the poor." They
deny that one class of men have aright to demand
any exclusive privileges—they , deny that the manu
facturer has any more right to be". protected" than
the farmer, the mechanic or the merchant. Equal
and exact justice to all men—equal and exact taxa
tion—equal and exact protecticin—the greatest good
of the greatest notaber—are dome of the sublime
truilis-whicit login the creed of the Democratic. par
ty. Unfortunately, nearly all the legislation of this
cOuntr,v, ,both in Congress and oar State Legislatures,
.has been for capital and not roi labor. Those who
desurid exellisive'privilegea, have besieged the lob-
Nes - or our Legislative halls, and with their money,
nine parties and oyster suppers, bare succeeded in
building up a montdd aristocracy in this country,
which iirdangerous to public liberty and oppressive
to mankind., Shall this iniquiteitut system have an
end, or,will it continue forever t• •
_ . .
We have been of the opinion, that in this
free countri,,one man had es good a right to enjoy
the blessingeond comfeitaWldch a bonatifrl Prowl
dence has provided, as his neighbor. We have
been of the opinion, that the min whose strong arm
produces Wealth, should be pertnitted to share Mita
enjoyment.. In commencing our Editorial career in
tbis city; there were men who pro fessed to be friends
- 7 -men, even, who called themselves... Democrats"
were not backward in "advising us. that we
were entirelytoo
,radical in our , opinions; and that
if we wished to succeed, WO' Meat pursue a. more
consevratioe course—or, in other words, be a Whig
is every thing but the Darnel Had we adopted the
advice of these men; it would ao doubt have bee t
t o our pecuniary _ advantage .; l but we . could no
pursar..; , a course which our 'heart, oar consci
ence and our better judgment, would not approv at.
Inlna community like this; we hare supposed that the
wellbeing of its members was desired by all, and
That all were linked together by common ties of
friendship, brotherhood and interest. It bas pained
ue to find, however, that there are a few persons in
this community, who practically deny that the lahor
ing man has any right, save those which they may
see proper to confer. They look upon the Man who
labors in the SUMO light that they look upon a piec e
of machinery propelled by steam, to work as long
and ,B 9 hard as their consciences might demand.
They deny to the laboring man any leisure to rest
exhausted nature, to improve ltis wind, or to cull.
rate bis social feelings. They have 'endeavored to
reduce the wages and increase thchaurs of those who
labiar. This tyranny, Wreaks and oppression, has
been practised so long, and has become so over
bearing, that the oppressed could no longer submit.
It is said, that even the worm that too heavily
tramped npon; will recoil againit bertha]) ;
'it is not therefore,to be wondered at, that man,
bearing the sublime impress and image of God,
should obey the impulse of nature, and rim against
oppression.
The progressive spirit of the age demanded that

A voice from Waehington County.
The people—the honest Democratic masses, are
coming to, our rescue, in every direction. The
free and unbought Democratic newspapers of the
State, are beginning to -hurl them thunderbolts
against the conspirators,
.who are endeavoring to
break down the Post for upholding the rights of the
laboring classes. The Washington Examiner, one
of the most fearless democratic journals in Penn
sYlvania, contains the following notice of the con.
spirators, who supposed they would drive us into
a persecution of the poor factory girls and rolling
mill- hands, by the tyrant's cry of STOP MT PA
rem." We sincerely, , from our heart, thank our
friends of The Examiner for their manly course in
this matter.
That's the way to go at them! No winking, or
blinking, twisting or turning before tyranny and
oppression. The spirit that prompted the above
named individuals to withdraw their patronage
from the "Post" is the same that indicted, prose
cuted, and hunted down the "poor factory girls,
widows and orphans who attempted to stand out
for their legal rights." Aye, it is the spirit that
fain would curse and crush the energies of the peo
ple in order to• administer to the insatiable appe•
tite of pampered selfishness and bloated monopo
lists. We are among those who have no sympa
thy for men who act thus, for whilst at least three•
fourths of the legislation of our State has been to
protect and uphold capital and monopolies, the re.
cipiente of the benefits of such legislation have,
with a few honorable exceptions, employed their
vested power to oppress and tyrannise those whom
unfortuitous circumstances have placed under their
control. Every principle of justice and 'of politi
cal economy demands quite as much regard for
the rights of the laborer as for those of the capital
ists, and yet how many there are who seem to
think that the one can protect himself, whilst the
strong arm of the law should be especially inter.
posed to shield and support the other! As Meek
quent and fearless Black said in a court of justice
—when nobly pleading the cause of the factory
girls, and after refering to the money extorted from
the 4 .destitution of the desolate to incremea multi
rode" ofiichev-;-Allis lurri. The widowsufferi..—
What of that It is a widow's business to stiffer.
Let her take a crust the less and drinkiltrater
stead of milk., or If need tie, let her *ink of the
abundance of her tears. The children can go shoe
less to the street and impperless to bed. Frost
and famine for the orphan is a goodly portion.—
Whodare wag his tongue when justice meets thus
haply the exigency of the times?'
But, let the wand of proscription he raised. It
will not always receive an influence from the "ex-'
igency of the times," The period hastening
when !..right not Might" will be the power to secure
success, and when the laborer will receive his just
reward. Then, flesh and blood will no longer be
subsidary, by virtue of law, to-the aggrandizement
of indolent andlordly monopolists; then the al.
mighty dollar will no longer be the test of a man's
principles, and then the toilworn producer will
rightfully occupy the vantage ground, and no one
will dare attempt to coerce a free and independent
press into the path of political recreancy. "There's
a good time coming!"
Illinois and Itehtgan Canal.
The President of the Board of Trustees, has ad
dressed a circulacletter to the stockholders, con.
taining an interesting and highly satisfactory ex
hibit of the affairs of the Company.
The Chief Engineer states in his report for the
present year, that all the work upon the main
line of Canal is fully completed according to the
original intentional the Board, except three incon
siderable items, the whole cost of which is stated
at $3,000. The cost of completing the Canal and
feeder was $1,401,192,79, leaving in the bands of
the Trustees of the loan of $1 ; 600,000, advanced
by the stockholders to supply the deficiency of
means on the part of the State to complete the
Canal, the sum of $198,808. The Canal was open
ed for navigation in the latter port of April, 1848,
and the first boat which passed through the whole
extent of the line arrived at Chicago on the-23d
April. The number of boats on the Canaltegie
tered and licensed previous to the Ist June, 1248,
was 15 only. The whole number registered at
the close of the season was 162. The principal
articles transported upon the Canal, in 1848, were
flour, pork, salt, fish, sugar molasses, wheat, COM ,
oats, merchandise, coal, potatoes, lumber, &c. The.
gross income for that year was, $87,890, or $B7B
per mile. The Canal was closed by ice on the
night of 29th November, tnaking, from the opening
of navigation a period of 224 days. The Cana l
revenue from tolls is estimated, for 1849, at $120,-
000. The whole amount of resources for 1849 is
estimated at $470,382,77; of probable expenses at
$80,000; leaving upwards of $400,000, a large por
tion of which can be applied to the payment of the
interest end to the reduction of the principal loan
of F 1,600,000.

DISCOVERY OP • Lois . PLAY DV htisszarast.-i-
Amongst the inedited plays of Massigner (sairs
and English paper) the loss , of which has been so
deeply deplored by Gifford and all lovers of the .
English drama, was one entitled, "Believe as you
list," which was supposed to ticarveri converted
long ago into pie bottoms by WarliiirtOrili cook.
The story of a large collection of Old manuscript
plays having been destroyed in that manner is too
well known to be repeated;' butin this particular
instance our dramatic historians baribee.n at fault;
for the original manuscript, shorn of only one leaf,
has found its way into the possession of Mr.Crof::
ton Croker. It is a fine play, its possessor
has just completed an edition of it for tbe Percy

. The Committee appeared, and. through the Chair
, .
Man made the following report :
Whereat, A .fierce struggle is now going on be-.
twcen Labor and Capital. •The action-of the last
Legislature, and the determined efforts of the work
-ing men, have aroused every energy of the class that
has for long ages monopolized the surplus wealth of
• the world, and they are making desperate attempts
to arrest the Progress wide!' the people are making
towards an cduality in the distribution of the pro
tlncts of Labor. They have :the we 2.1.4 but:uwe
have the numerical strength ;-and;we must use this
for'our own protection and salvation; It isistur duty
to man and God, to do all, in our , power to prevent
the establishnient. of systems and usages in this coon
try which have been the means of debasing the mass
et of the people in Europe._Cotton and'ether mills
in whiea, women and' children are employed have
been erected by means of the aid of legislation, the
legislator, deriving their power to confer• such , priv
ileges, in various ways, from the people. 'Tberefore
it is'that we have a right to a voice in - the regulatiOn
of such mills. No man boa aright, either natural or
political,, to earn, wealth by a system that degrades
and injures society and his fellow beings. •
Be it, therefore,
itesalved, That the special -contract clause in the
"Ten Hour Law" of the last Legislature should be
stricken out, as it affords some mercenary and wick
ed men the power of violating "the spirit of the law
Walt."
Resolved, That the proprietors of the "Star Fac
tory " of this city deserve the everlasting gratitude
of all good men for the readiness with which they
consented to sntimit to the " Ten Hour Law," and
their refusal to - reduce the wages of the weavers. -
Resolved, That the cb - rge that we are in favor. of .
Riots, or any other violation of the law,' is grossly
unjust; and is an Myatt to the entire mass otthe
working people of the State. I - -• • •
A:tracked,' That we do most religiously believe that
the scenes of the 3lst of July, which disgraced the
city and county, would never have. been enacted,
had not the provocation been almost insufferable.—
yge charge that the proprietors themselves are alone
guilty of the riot, lay:their:conspiracies, menaces
inadassaults. - - •
Resolved, That we believe that the social and po-
Mica! elevation'of the working classes, will tend to
universal good—the rich will be benefitted as much
as the poor, for they will have a gOaranty against the
vicissitudes Of fortune, and their children will not
breonle'degraded by luxuri and idleness.:. :
*mired, That we regard the Ten Hour Law alien
iniportiot step in the progress , of the race upwarde,
though in.itself it may secmintimPPtant•
Resolved, That on this great question we.will aim*
no party-bet the" Labor Reform Party ; 22 —we will
follow no leaders but those whom we know to be
friends,: a '
,
Resolved, That the columns of some of the papers
during the past week have given us indubitable evi
dence that capital has been at work endeavoring to
thwart the efforts of those friends of the peoples/Ito
are now laboring for our good Cause.
Ruolced, That we will support the Press thatsop•
port us, and none other; for we are too poor to pal
our enemies. •
Resolved, That out tope is in the Ballot Box; we
will remember the neat Second Tuesday of October.
Mr. Watson being called upon made a few re
marks. •
