Our remarks on Hua subject are not entirely agreeable to the editor of the Ptfst, bat we shall not now go out of oar way to notice his plea cf not guilty, of e war upon capital, after judgment has been, pawed by every intelligent man in the has read his paper. At oar leis ure, however* we may notice his rejoinder, and will ndj?proceed further to discuss the question underconsderatioD. Thd'theory of the Poai and Its coadjutors, unlike that ofalbsound political economists, is that eopiiol, nstea4?dl being the necessary ally, is the natural and irreconcilable enemy of labor. When they speak-tfma —and they always speck loosely—they mean by capital, of coarse, whaf re call property, as money, or any other represent tfive values,, as contradistinguished from lobar,' rhich is equally entitled 'to be considered'* capital The ideal* that the employer, who is of course inter ested in producing as cheaply and selling as ear y as. he can; will always endeavor to keep down wages at the lowest possible point This is un u edly true. It is -equally true, however, that the operative, or laborer, on tho other hand, equally alive to hu interest, will always be endeavoring to pash up his wages to the highest attainable pornl. The result of the struggle will of course be fro. quent fincufoiion, depending on the groat rogula ting elements of demand and supply. In this | country, however, the advantage has always been on the side of tho operative, for the very simple and obvious reason that tho demand for labor has always fitr outran the supply of that article. If there have been any interruptions, they have been tran. sient, and generally attributable to the action of the government operating on the market, either by glutting it from abroad, or seriously affecting the circulation at home. Lex the scale incline how ever to which side it may, one thing is very certain, that neither the preaching of radical newspapers, 1 nor the harrangues of demagogues, nor the empiri cism of ten hour systems, can regulate the relations of labor and capital, or produce the slightest in fluence of o permanent character upon the rates ot wages. The editor of the Post may bellow till he is hoarse, he inay render the working man dis contented with bis condition, he may drive him from employment, but he w»H never put one‘ad ditional penny in his pocket thereby,—the only influence which he can exert will be to do him injury. It is asserted, however, that in the association of capital and labor, the.fbrtner alwaya|appropnates j to itself, the lion's share of the profits, while the latter is put off with a miserable jpitlance which is barely sufficient to sustain life. t It might bo readily shown that in a very large I majority of cases the whole profit goes into the | .pockets of the operator, while the employer him* j ael£ instead of receiving compensation fat his outlay, and the hazard of his business, n entirely mined. We shall not, however, attempt that; we will take it for granted si present, that the fact is as alleged, and it is upon this basis precisely that we propose to unite and identify these autagonisti 3cal and conflicting interests. Wo propose .then, to remedy the evil, that th. working man shall become a capitalist himself. This he cannot do, however, under the present BVBiem, became our manufacturing establishments generally require so great an ootlay aa to render ■ them, in effect monopolies in the hands of ruh men. We desire to popularize them, by (Griding their capital stackfrto shares, which should be acces sible to-the poorest, and iransfenablo at conveni ' ehce. If we can give to the operative an interest in ibe .as*B proprietor, we shall, Presides securing his fidelity, improving the character of our manufactures, and cheapening their production, enable him to indemmFghimseli for any reduction in wages by sharing fully aud equally in any profits which may bq derived from that source. He will 1 then of course cease to have any other interest than that cf his employer, and the imian of capital and labor wiß be, complete. In order to effect this object, however, it is , that a company so constructed, should have a charter ol incorporation, which will exemp l ■ ' every individual stockholder from any liability be yond the amount of his subscription. There is a vast amount of capital now lying idle amongst us, which individuals, who have retired from oY who could not afford to give their attention to manufactures,or who have notthe personal skill or knowledge requisite for that purpose, would be perfectly willing to invest upon such terms as *l*3o, while they would utterly refuse to embark their whole estate in an ecterprize, with the details of which they, might be entirely unacquainted, and whose control vyould' be exclusively in the hands of others. Il is not, however, the rich only who would coo. | tribute in this manner. There are many men in our community, of moderate fortunes, many who are now working in our larga-cstabliihmcnl*, who cot!d>ery readily spare from three to five hundred, or perhaps even a thousand dollars,*for the same | purpose, and who might thus borrow the capital of others to put their industry in motion, and give them an opportunity of realizing fortunes for them" hcltcs. As matters stand now, these men are enlirely’.excluded from the privilege of getting into business for themselves. They would be the very men, however, to whose direction the affairs of a joint stock concern such as we suggest, would be committed. There b another aspect, moreover, in which the operative would be benefited to a for greater ex . tent than from any of the Post’s nonsensical lec iurra About the rights and dignity of labor. The effect of such a measure, we dgubt not, would be « to double in a very short time ihe whole manufac turing capital of this commtmiiy. U would noi merely bring about the investment of large tarns which are now idle at borne, but it would bring capital from abroad, and result in the establishment of new branches of business w)iich are now con sidered too hazardous, or- for which a larger amount of capital might bo required than any mere private company established on tbe old principle could possibly command. If we are right in these conjectures, it would of course very much increase the demand for labor, and with it the power of the operative to prescribe his own terms to'bis em ployer. We mast defer.wliat further we have to say until our next. Tee GovnOTtEfT o i THX Jail. —We directed , attention, a few days since, to a bill before the Le- , gialature, changing the government of the Jail of . Allegheny County, and gave some reasons in op- ; position to it. We hove since learned that this bill has passed the House, and is now before the Sen ate. A more thorough oad careful reading of it, g j our first notice, has not removed our objec tions, but rather i here used them, and we hope it may not pass the Senate, without a thorough over hauling, and radical amendment. •Our objections to the bill are various, but princi pally because it places too mueh power in the hands of the Commissioners, robs the Sheriff of a part of his etholomeats, without releasing him from his' most responsible and disagreeable duties, and’ m fg*n up a Jail and a Workhouse —a place for the confinement of persons who muy'oe innocent, and for the punishment of criminals. There art other objections in the working of the machinery, but these ere .the principal. . That I here, are great evils io the present system of Jail-management we freely admit, but it is better to endue them awhile longer than to adopt a new aystefn without a most thorough sifting. One ob jection to Ihe Jail management now, is, that it comprehends in its system, two opposite purposes, tho safe keeping ot persons committed for trial, *nd the^punishment of vagrants and criminal*. Tlip propped bill does not remedy this evil,it only -IbokS towurds amelioration. The Jail is now too amaß, and is wholly unfitted for the purposes of a .

Of the (election there an be but one opio- ion among reasonable and intelligent men. Ii is a good one —eminently so. It will give, we are/ai ly persuaded, universal satisfaction to the Whig party, and cannot be unacceptable to any lover of the country. It comprehends a large amount of ability, sound judgment, and ripe experience.— Such a cabinet will receive and enjoy ilia entire confidence of the peoplo. Of Mr. Clayton we have already expressed our opinion. Our confidence in his patriotism, his judgment, his moderation, his fitness for the office; is unbounded. Mr. Meredith, comes from our own State, and although less known as a public man than some ofhis colleagues, his high reputa tion at home points him out as one who will adorn the station to which he is elected. He resides in Philadelphia, where be has been engaged in the practice of the law, for many years. He is a man of abilities, a npe scholar, an eminent lawyer, honorable in feelings, and of gentle manly manners. Pennsylvania is well represen ted. New England is ably and characteristically repre sented in Abbott Lawrence, a gentleman praise is in all the country, • A valuable member of General Taylor’s council. - Of Mr. Crawford and Mr. Preston, we have less . knowledge, but wbat we have is favorable. We I feel assured General Taylor has not mistaken ha ButofThomas Ewing, one of Ohio's favorite sons. I who does not know something—much —and that I very good too. He was one of Harrison's cabinet, j who prized consistency and principle more than of- j . fice,and who preferred rathertosufferwitb the Whig I party the disastrous consequences of Tyler’s treach-J I ery, than to enjoy the pleasures of office for a sea-1 son. Whether be had respect to the recompense j | of the reward, we cannot say, but right glad we I 1 are that he is rewarded. Wo know he had rev I j pect to an approving conscience, and to political I I consistency, and such men cannot go unrewarded' j I in the long ran. We are nght glad, also, that Ohio I I has a place in the cabinet The faithful and noble I Whigs of that State who remained true to their 1 political faith, amidst the general falling away, are ! [ as worthy of reward as if their succesiiiad been I commensurate with their labor*. g I The cabinet is thoroughly Whig, and gives at i sorasce of an unadulterated Whig administration. | So for. General Taylor has given evidence of the I wisdom of the choice of the Whig Convention.— I We look forward to a peaceful and brilliant admin- I istration, which will shed lustre upon this portion I of our country’s history.

Notwithstanding the interest which the vnledic-^ ’ Xorj levee ot Mr. and Mrs. Polk, taking place at nine o’clock this evening, excites amoa* all good Democrats, the letter of James Shields, a '{ieraon who has been elected by tbe Legislature of Illinoii to be a Senator of the United States for six years, to Mr. Breese. who now bold# the seal, is the topic of universal conversation. It is the missive of an assassin, and is so regarded and denounced by eve ry person with whom l have oonversed concerning it. The remarks of Mr. Breese, in which he lays the miscreant before the public in his naked bide ousneas, are dignified and appropriate. Shields has to day caused to' be exposed on the table of tbe general library the sword toted to him by the Stale of South Carolina. 1 hear that, on looking at it, a distinguished citizen of that Stale declared that, * cmjfd this letter to Senator Breese have been fore -1 seen, South Carolina would rather have voted a halter than a sword. He said, also, that he hoped, r if the Senate were obliged to admit this person to a seat, no Senator nor Member from that Stale would to far forget his self re sped as lo speak to or in any way recognize him. Senator Dodge, tbe younger, corrects the report of the National Intelligencer representing that be offered and slavery extension resolutions from tbe Legislature of lowa. But he takes tbe point to state, in his card, that his father. Senator Henry Dodge, of Wisconsin, did rise from a sick bed to present resolutions from that Slate, to that purport, aod to vole iu conformity with them and the in* atruct'ons they conveyed- Now this is true—on i Monday evening, the elder Dodge did cause him. self to be taken from his bed and brought lo tbe Senate Chamber, at tbe risk of his life, to offer the protest of bis Stale against the treachery of his col league, and to vote against his treason. And In , bringing these facts so prominently before_tbe pub i lie, the younger Dodge evidently means to express | his contempt of the baseness of his father’s col legue, notwithstanding that he, being uninatrucied. I and never having made any free soil professions, 1 voted for Walker’s scheme. J We have all been disappointed to day in the re- I sumption and continuance of the debate upon the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation Bill U was. j last night, reported to the Senate, and it was uni- I versally expected that it'would be passed this j morning, and sent to the House. , j It is now eight o’clock, and Mr. Dickinsoo. of New York, is in fall blast, advocating Walker’s I amendment,and making a Hanker Southern speech generally. When the Senate was about to vole upon con curring with the Committee of the Whole on that amendment, Mr. Da rose and said that he could not permit this only opportunity he should have to speak upon this great issue to pass. He thought that this proposition had no business in this bill; bu l as it bad been placed there, and as it involves tbe whole question, he was compelled to oppose it* with all his powers. He spoke for about two hours, aod closed an elaborate argument against any of the propped projects for the government of either i or both these territories', bot tbe old and regular I forms of a territorial government, with a splendid I peroration, affirming that New York was tor the Uman now and for ever. Whatever might be tbe allegations against her, here or elsewhere, she would stand by the flag of the Republic, until tbe last star in her proud constellation sboald have fak I len from the field that bore our ensign aloft, to be J seen among the insignia of Empire no more for In the House of Representatives a great variety of business was done. Some two hours of the morning were spent in discussing the bill estab lishing a territorial government in New Mexico.— •Then the dnahakeoffahle Joha Wentworth mo- ved that ths House proceed to the consideration of business bn tbe Speaker * table, in order to gel at tbe bill for the abolition of tbe slave trade in this District. The motion prevailed, but one of the bills before the one Mr. Wentworth desired to get at, was that of carrying into effect th fifth article of the treaty with Mexico, requiring the appointment of a commissioner and surveyor, for running the boundary lina. That bill was taken up, and is now ander discussion; and it is quite evident that there | will be no possibility of reaching the anti slave pen j bill. The more’s the pity. Now- on this 231 h February, 1549. ihree days and lour hours before tbe expiration of this Con gress and Administration, bow stand* the business Of the country* The House baa done reasonably well. It has at least passed all tbe necessary ap propriation bills. The Senate has not yet passed one of them. The first in the order in which it •taods. as in importance, tbe Civil and Diplomatic Bill, i* encumbered with on incongruous amend ment, involving the vexed question ot the day. and | the Senate is l« r '*urely debating it. Suppose it be I passed lo night, and goes lo the House to morrow, I there remains but three days in which to decide- the great struggle between the two Houses ou the on Ily serious question of the tunes, in'bur politics. If I -within that time, one or the other branch does not I recede from ground most deliberately taken, that J hill will be lost, and an extra setaion of Congress I must be called. An alarming rumor prevails, that General Tay lor, having been waited upon by a delegation from the managers of the “National Inauguration Ball, and requested to attend the aame, replied that hi* health and the probable pressure of bis public du ues would not permit of hi# attending more than one ball in lbs aame evening, and that he had en gaged to attend the other assemblage. This is aa swfol blow to the hopes of the gentlemen in office, and if the report tarns out to be strictly correct, it i* expected that many uf them intend to resign on Mondsy st noon, or as poos thereafter as the forms of inauguration shall have been completed. There ia no probability ibul the cabinet appoint meat** will be known before Monday next.

The addition of ammo nia or common salt, will at once enable it to pass into a solution in water, when U may be taken up bv the spongioles of the root*. Common salt affords of itself little or nothing that is nutritious to a fruit tiee, but acts indirectly, up on the phosphates. In no other sense is it cither a stmiulentor nulrieot to vegetation.
