THE DAILY POST.
THE MINERS:
A STORY OF THE OLD COMBINATION LAWS
There is a certain district of England which is
at once a coal and an iron field. To the eye of
the passing traveler it presents now, as it did
many years ago, at the period of our tale, all the
dreary and repulsive features such a portion of
country usually exhibits. The air has a dingy
and clouded smokiness, the grass and trees are
of a, dirty green, the fences are unoropped and
broken down, and every now and then you Come.
to fields laid partially or altogether under, water.
This is caused by the sinking of the earth, from
the decay of the props supporting the roofs . of
the old wrought-out mines beneath.
There is nothing of the fresh, breezy, sunny
joyousness of rural scenery—everything is bleak,
cold, and sooty, and the mind of one wandering
over such ground, in place 'of experiencing the
exhilaration of the country,- is oppressed with
feelings of vague despondentiY and hopelessness.
lie cannot help knowing that, instead of a ruddy
oheeked and light hearted peasantry, those king
struggling lines of dirty, tile-roofed cottages,
that stretch up from the highway, have for their
inhabitants an ignorant, stunted, half savage
race, miserable, misanthropic, and inhospitable,
among whom it is dangerous for the merely ca
riosity-led stranger to venture.
The view of the many magnificent, wood-em-
bosomed manoion-houses of the coal and iron was
tors alleviates nothing of these feelings, for the
eight at the same time takes in numberless hills
of coal dust, and shapeles mounds of brown irqn
stone; while the road you travel on is formed
of crumbling black slag, the refuse of the smelt
ing furnaces, whose ugliness deforms the land
scape as much by day as their volcanic glare upon
the lowering clouds makes night hideous. And
while you gsze, the impression irresistably comas
upon you, that the monstrous wealth of a few is
the result of the monstrous suffering and degra
dation of the many, and that the gorgeous equip
ages that whirl alo , og the furred and jewelled
young ladies of the proprietors are but in another
form the labor—the life sweat of the miners'
daughters, who, in ignorance, wretchedness, filth,
and disease, drag on ell-fours, likeZbrutee, the
trucks of coal' or it , n stone, along the stifling
passages and dripping poi.-rooous caverns of the
pits, a huiadre,d fathoms beneath the very road
their proud sisters of clay are riding over.
At the date of our story there was no branch
of manufacture or commerce, no mode of em
employing capital or labor, more productive of
profit than the mining of coal and iron ore; pro
bably there is none even now—but that was the
era of the old combination laws, when it was
felony for any number of workmen to murmur
against the price the purchasers of their toil
chose to give fee it, or combine their energies to
obtain rendiratien for their lebor.
From timr oce of whir':
the faeliti and p-ife. gal , : of coma.. ',ohm
a mon g nine; to kop n.. prices a', i lizep
down wages, • lzrea . • t fe: ur e 5 wer made
with the most incredible redddity, atm' c
eceudants of many that made them 1:1'W hold
high places among our privileged ranks.
One of the wealthiest and most intlue - atial
masters in the district alluded to was Anthony
Hasteleigh, Esq ,of Weldon Edge. His annual
income was much more than ten thousand pounds
—how much we are afraid to Bay, lest we should
throw discredit on our story, in the thoughts of
those of our readers who may be unaware of the
treasures which trade, manufacture and mining
pour into the laps of our commercial arietocraoy,
or who may be displeaeed drat such enormous
wealth, and all the luxuries and enjoyments it
can procure, should be in the power of men of
no more noble or ancient origin than Adam. He
was considered rather a hard master, and was a
man of much talent and considerable 'acquire
ment; indeed, his great fortune, having been al
most all accumulated by himself, may tend to
show this. He was a widower, and had one
daughter, a young lady of no little beauty,
EL \ ough the energetic and determined expression
that shone through her features gave them some
what 0 :* a hard and mesculne turn. She, with
the two preons next to be tn'roduced, will enact
the principa: scenes of the following narrative
tragedy.
Mark and Edm.lnd Vesper were the sons or
one John Vesper, a working coal miner, of ave
rage ignorance ana - ittcheciness : who was one
ion of fire-damp. His
day killed by an explos
before, and now his
wife had died about a year
L , OT themselves in
two eons were left to look out
the best way they could. Now, reader, you will
saarcely credit it that upon the ~\e Ads of the se .
two miserable children had descendei.. l the inspir
ing
ing spirit of genius. It is nevarthel
however unaccountable it may seem to thc 'es Who
believe that rank and talent always are bort ' e
gether, that these young beggars received fri. 4° '
on high as much intellect as would have made a
nobleman's second son premier and hie third lord
chancellor; bat as they were born of the de f l
-
spised caste of those that make the gold—what it
made them this tale is written to show forth.
At the time of his father's death, Mark Vas
pl-tr, a boy about fourteen years of age, was
employed in the mines, partly as a truck-drawer.
I,artly as a sort or apprentice to the mining
itself. But it happened that a new abaft of
roach promise having been sunk, which required
a Newcomen engine of great magnitude, he
managed, with some intriguing, to get employ
ment as a sort of assistant to, or attendant on,
the engine keeper. Up to this time he could not
read, nor, though he regarded with much cu
riosity the forms of the lettere painted on the
wagons, and wondered how they could represent
telunds—moreover, though he frequently ex
nressed this curiosity, yet he could never find
-.ny one able to satisfy it—all around were as
ignorant as himself. But, when he got this
situation about the engine, be found the keeper
—a quiet, well informed Sttotohrean—both able
to give him instruation, anci also disposed to feet
amusement in the tack ; and while the engine.
requiring to give merely a glance at it now awl
labored away at the pumps, they were
employed In the business of teaching and b^log
!,,,ught—a piece of chalk and one of the ire u
plates of the engine frame serving as the ins•
terials.
Mark had been from his earliest years a boy
ef very great penetration, In addition to his
talent. He had seen, from the day he eam't
::hove ground, that, whether there ought to be
or not, there are, have been always, and will
c - iotinue, to be, two diaitinct classes of men—th e
high Find the low—between which lies a grey t
7,itif, almost altogether impassable, and whose
conditions are widely different in respect of en
t-i.ijoyment • the portion of one being poverty,
hard labor, ungratified appetites, humiliation,.
early death ; that of the other, wealth, idl. , n•sss_
gratification of every desire, honor, and life pro--
lunged to Lae utmost by care and nursing ; and'
this., too, arising from u 3 moral merit or,demerit:
in the individuals of either class He perceived
it, sad also that he himself was of that cle.s.
doomed from birth to toil and disease, to ev,,ry •
privation and all disrespect, whose sole comfort - ,
71.3 said by the humane of the higher class to ,
lie in contentment with its miseri•is, and an at-
tempt to form a kind of negative happiness, by
.eaching the mind not to pine after the positive
and real, which those humane had set apart for
t betuselves.
Fie never thought there was the least political
or moral injustice in this state of things ; nt,
knowing himself to be born of the low or miner
able dive, and feeling hie mind capable of appre
ciating the enjoyments of the high or happy rine,
hie whole thought was to discover a 131031113 of
quitting the one and finding his way to the other
—a Course which he knew that a few had Eno
ce,dfully followed out. And, first, on consider
ing the careers of these latter, he became airare
that no man ever raised himself in t' e world by
ignorance, idleness or drunkenness, but tha t the
steps whereby to ascend were intelligenct;, ac
tivity, oobriety, prudence, and persevevance.
That knowledge is power he soon perceivrid, al
though he had never heard of the aphorism, or
the mighty mind from whom it first emanated.
It :was, therefore,• with en engrossing enthu
siasm that - Mark, the mining boy, set hiniseif to
to the acquirement of knowledge, as one of the
steps whereby he might make himselt a gentle
;72mi—coveting that rank and condition solely be
cause he believed it afforded all facilities for the
gratification of the appetites and desires, and in
this consisted all the happiness of which he ned
any idea
Tho elothful or incapable, may makes extreme
•
••••• .
poverty or constanttoil an excuse for ignorance
and debasement—Where there is a will there is a
way, and the'enthuilait after knowledge, how
ever great his po'verty, or apparently unceasing
his labor, will find ten thousand means and
opportunities of mental cultivation. Bolieviug
this, you will not be surprised that in two or three
' years Vesper was a highly intelligent young man,
and, at the death of the engine keeper,,was
found best , qualified of any about the - works to
take his place. This was - themost advantageons
thing for him that could have occurred. He had
now good wages, plenty. of leisure, the respectaa
. billty of having a charge, and the power of keep
,
ing , himself personally clean . All these but
- Whettea his appetite for further advancement,
and for those great pleasures which money and
influence over , others could `
place within
his grasp. Wealth and power were the deities
he worshipped with allthe feiver of youthful en
thusiasm, and the possession of them the only
paradise he looked forward to ; and so ardently
was his pursuit that no obstacle could turn him
from the path be had shaped out for himself as
the most direct to this goal of his butes and
wishes. Crime, in his eyes, was no obstacle,
that is, if it could he perpetrated without chance
of punishment. The worse Crimes he would
freely have committed if they helped him for
ward on his way to wealth, and be.done without
discovery—for of moral right and wrong he took
a most extensive and " philosophical " view, A
oriiae that could not be punished he considered
no evil ; and he saw that in the world many hor
rible crimes are continually being committed,
which, from the criminals not, being punishable,
are even considered as laudable actions, and sent '
down as such through history to posterity. Yon
will at , nce see our drift when we state that in
his eyes conquest and robbery were the same
thing, war in no ways different from murder,
and fiend identical with diplomacy; and when
we tell you further that he believed religion to
be a contemptible imposition, which showed little
genius in its inventors, and less penetration in
its dupes, you will be able to take a fuller view
his character on the whole. He saw the world
to be one vast struggle, in which every body of
men strove for their own interest, and again,
each individual of every body for his own par
ticular advantage • and this interest and advan
tage he finally fixed to be the gratification of
mental desir.-s and bodily appetites—the sum
mum bonum—to attain which it was right to use
every means, be they commonly called good, bad
or indifferent. You will begin to think that this
hero of ours looks very like a villain. True, he
was one ; but he was not the only one in this
world.
When he was about twenty one years of ago,
and his brother eleven, he got for the latter em
ployment in the engine-room, similar to what he
had himself first bold. This added a few shil
lings to their weekly income, and brought the
youngster more closely under his eye ; for, al
though he could not bat look upon his brother as
somewhat at a drawback at that age, yet be in
tended by proper instruction, to make him a val
uable adjutant in his own schemes of advance
ment to money and intiiince Ile had, from the
earliest y ears at which the boy was susceptible
of instruction, labored to impart to him the

judgment, and altogether independent of that of
his brother.
And this was the first cause of disagreement
between them, and a heavy cause it was; for at
the means Mork adaptA to acquire wealth and
influence, Edmund showed disgust; while those
proposed by the latter were trated by the for

But we may as well give a sketch of the person
and habits of each, when we can better explain
their separate speculations of advancement in

Plerrepout.--In life case a Fowler vs. Bowan,
cited, I. happened to be AXII-3 of the counsel,
&ad expecting that I would be •aueciated in the
segament of it, I prepared a very full brief, aud
examined nearly every case which hae.!;:een here
cued. The case involved the questions qfmalice

t.iat he is careless of his reputation either states
- that which is false, or he is so constituted that he

does not lie.
In the ordinary case of words spoken, the:.'
, falsiti of the Blander is evidence of the malice -
which moved the talking or envenomed tongue 1
to utter the slanderous words; but in the case. i.l
. iof a privileged communication, some evidence of
malice is required—there must be some . evidence- 8

: .on other questions. For instance, a plaintiff •
.comes into Court and sues the indorser of a. 719

not received notice of the protest of the note, . .it
' and nlaims that be should be diseharged ; the 1 U .
plaintiff, on the trial, brings into,Court the no- 0

reot a verdict for the plaintiff, and would no
allow it to go the Jury,- b0c4u,13 if the . Jury
through any whim or prejudio- .hould find that
the defendant . did not 1'00,1.7 , , notice, still the
Court would be bound to ri sue,h verdict aside,
the evidence being uncootrAi.::::od. Thus the
Courts are in the habit of v•king oases of that
nature from the Jury.
The Iwo questio,.e which t deem important la
this owe are: First, whether this is a privileged
communication ; and, second, whether there is
any evidence of malice on which the Jury are
to pass. If four bankers in Wall street should
associate themselves together for the purpose of
ascertaining the eharaoter and standing of their
correspondents in Boston, and ahould • select one
of their number, and pay his expenses to Boeteu
for that purpose, and he should, on his return,
state that he ascertained Mr. Jones; of Boston,
was a man of bad oharaoter—that he had com
mitted many outrages against society—that he
was a forger, and he cAninunicatecl that to his
four associates in the confidential relation in
which they stood—it would be e. priviledged
communication, and no action would lie, unless
express malice were shown. Now, it is difficult
to see how there would be any difference between
four men and twenty-four, or any number, asso
ciated for the purpose of gaining honest and
truthful information of this description, and
without malicious motives ; and I em not able
to see why the information given by thia com
mercial agency, so far as it appears before the
Caurt, may not come under the class of privi.
leged: .communications, if made in a proper
mariner, and without any evil intent or malioious
motive, and if made in good faith and honesty.
The evidence of Mr. Benton, who is the only
witness that touches the cams in the least, is, that
he was a sub..,criber to that c , :mmaroied agency;
that he in writing , entered into an agreement
with them to keep all the intelligence he received
eecret, and us:3 it for no put p0...e except for his
own private protecticn.
He said tho.t being a subscriber,
he applied for
information in rtlltioo. to Mr. Of msby, and he
filled up a pspur which he thinks ie like exhibit
No. 2.
" Clivs us in confidence, and for our exclusive
use and benefit in our bUsiness, whatever informa
tion you have respecting he standing, responsi
bility, &c., of Waterman A Ormsby."
That one cf tire clerks to 19h0131 he applied
turned to another ; Chat this clerk examined the
books which contaioed the name of Mr Ormsby,
whose reputation Mr. Benton desired to know,
because he wanted to use his note; this clerk
turned to another clerk, and that clerk to Mr.
Douglass, who gave Mr. Benton the information
to which he:testified, and which is not creditable
to Mr. Ormsby, and that he woo requs.sted not
to write it down ; that he espresed his surprise
and went away ; 'hat some time after, he asked
Mr. Douglass in relation to this report; he said
that on farther inquiry, the former information
was not much out, of th ,- 2 irrtiv. He Days that the
reason Mr. Douglass called on him in relation
to the communication afterwards, was that Mr.
D. said'he was the last man to whom.he had giv
en the report of Mr. Ormsby ; that he had only
given it to three cr four ethers. That is all ho
said; leaving us necessarily to infer that the re
port which he had given to them was like what
he had given to himself, and obtained in the
same manner.
The question left is, w:oether there has been
shown any evidence of expreas malice: I holding
this to be a privilidged communication. If there
has been, it must go to the Jury, and there is
ground for damages. I imagine, when this case
is printed, and the counsel who have tried the
ease read it free from alt the passions which are
always elicited in the progress of a trial, and the
sympathy which they m- re or leas fell with their
clieuts,—they will be surprised to Fen how little
there is in tha camp from whichl you can infer
the smallest indication of malice.
The urgency of &olive), the statements made
to the ju-y, and considerations addreseed to the
Court, is relation to a oombinetien of certain en
gravers to crush Mr. Ormsby, and drive b;m
from hit bneiness, were very powerful; and if
there was the slightest particle 07 evidence on
the subject, I sheuld not hesitate to put the case
to the Jury, weth a strceg charge in his favor.
but they have not offered one word on the sub
ject it is all left to inference without any evi
dence whatever. Consequently we can only tike
the testimoney which has been presented. It
does not appear that the etatereent made to Ben
ton ever went out to the world from any one but
himself; and the Injury which has bein done to
Mr. Ormsby. so far as the case dioelost has been
oniefly done by the witness who has been brought
on the stand, and who wen under injetnotiont of
secresy—under a written promise to keep it se
cret. In view of the fact that - We received this
information as a subecriber to this institution,
and received it with s.ll the injunctions of secre
cy, it is not apparen* why he should nee fit to
publish it to the world. lam satiefied that, so
tar as the test , tucey goes, there is no evidence of
express malice; and, indeed, so far as Mr. Ben.
ton's statement it correct, there is evidence of
much caution on the part of Mr. Douglass t.l try
and prevent any undue degree of publicity of this
communication. What secret motive there may
be the Court cannot know; we can only riot upon
the evidence before US; and, I repeat, when that
evidence is printed, and the counsel look upon it
without any excitement, I am setiefied they will
discover there its no evidence of express ma'ico.
The only remaining qusetion is,. whether this
(petition of express in thou is to be, left to the
Jury. There is no evidence to go to the Jury,
it is not proper for the Jury to speculate about
seoret motives, of which no evidence has been
given. Take the evidence which is before nit,
if to Jur:r should find a verdict for the plaintiff,
when the evidence come to ho fairly considered
and looked at, apart from excitement which nblo
counsel often can produce. the Court would be
obliged to sot the ver,ite! aeide. The rule In this
State is, that where the evidence is so elight that
if the Jury had forted a verteict the Court weehl
be obliged to set aside, they must take it from
the Jury I regard thi • El:3 Ofle of those
eezi it most take that court:.
