To no class of citizcDS are we , more indebted for our prosperity as a people than to the laboring man. It is he who clears the forest, tills the fields, builds the railroads, runs the machinery which makes our fabrics, and keeps the general currents of life in motion, and prevents the i stream from . becoming sluggish and stagnant. The idler the drone in the great hive of life passes his1 time in day-dreaming, aud lives upon the fruits of the industry of the liborer. ' This should not be so. The drones in the hive of the world ought either to bo forced to work, or be served as the drone is served by the working bee. There is no way to bring this about, save by the system of co-operation. In our country we profess we have our laws made by the masses ot the people.- I3ut is this really the case ? On the contrary, we find that the working classes have but little or noth ing to do with these matters; and while the laborers are busily engaged in the many and varied pursuits of life, the drone is busy cogitating and con cocting some plau whereby he can increase the laborer's burdens, and compel them to toil lor his support. From the highest to the lowest of these bloated do-nothing-aristocrats, the great study is to decrease their owu burdens, and increase those of the laborers. Under this regime it becomes necessary that some measures be speedily adopted for effectually resersing this pracrice. Laboring men must take more active i interest in the political affairs of the country ; read and post themselves on the political issues; and when the time comes for a political campaign, not allow themselves to be led by a few political tricksters, but rise in their might, tear themselves loose from the leading strings of political demagogues, and adopt those measures, and support only those men who they know will the best maintain and carry out their best interests. 11 y a mutual co-operation on the part of, the laboring clasps, fr.uid may be kept frcm cur l;u!! of legisla tion, vice hide itself from our high places, and a millenium bo ushered in which shall prove us to be really what we profess to be a free peor le. A firm combination and co-operative movement are the the only things that will bring about thee much desired ends. This, and this ouly, will save us from a monied anarchy, which is a curso to all countries. This, aud this only will secure to our descendants those great blessings which our fathers labored to secure to us. It is no more than our bounden duty to secure to our children the blessings which we desire for ourselves. And in view of our responsibilities in this particular, let us cherish and protect the rights of the laboring classes. TAMMANY AND THE TIMES. It now seems probable that we arc to find out whether or not.the many charges of swindling and robbery made by the New York Times against the Tammany ring are true or false. 3Iayor Hall has finally yielded to the solicitation of friends, and consented to enter suit against the Times for slander. It is but just that this matter should be brought up, so that the people may un derstand whether such frauds have been committed or not; and if they have, it is but just that the parties suf fer the penalty for their crimes. If the parties are guiltless, simple justice would demand that they have an op portunity to prove their innocence. This trial is just what the Times has been asking for, and it is to be hoped the matter may be brought before the Courts, and through them before the people in a substantial form. Examinations in the State Depart ment at Washington show that in re gard to the Sati Juan boundary dispute between Great Dritain and the United States, a map was published in London in 1853 by Arrowsmith, a celebrated map publisher, on which all the islands of the San Juan group were colored, so as to indicate that they belonged to the United States. This map was compiled from the best -English authorities, and was published by a man who is acknow ledged in England as an authority. It conforms entirely to American claims. THIS OHIO 1'LATI'OIIM. Much has been said by both Demo cratic and Republican papers concern IngUhe Ohio resolutions ; the former in many instances denouncing them in as bitter terms as can be well used. Some perhaps a greater portion of them- have accepted the situation, endorsed the resolutions, aud seem determined to make the best possible use of them. Rut in their pretended endorsement they have carefully concealed the fact that th$y do not concede the position that the last three amendments are bona fide parts of the Constitution. They evidently still believe, as they have heretofore, that these amendments were passed under duress, aud are in no wise a portion of the Constitution. A careful readiug of the columns of those papers which pretend an accept ance of the situation will convince the most .skeptical that it is all a pretence, to delude the unwary and mislead those who may have become dissatisfied with some of the measures of the party in power. It would be an extravagance which no party would bo foolish enough to be guilty of, to brand the passage of the Acts referred to with the vilest of epithets one day, and the next turu directly round and accept those same Acts, without couching the ac ceptance in such language as to be ca pable of an interpretation into an acceptance or rejection, as circum stances miiiht renuire. This nractice of double-dealing, without any subtan- tial -proof of Mueerity, has been j h,u" i indulged in, that the people have be come suspicious, and are watching in tently for some evidence ot sincerity, before they endorse such measures, come from what source they may. The ! Democracy may use subteiiu-e- to j endeavor to blind the people to their intentions, yet we opine but fjw v.iil be hoodwinked by them. Retter stand upon their 4i time honored principles" out and out, than to undertake to carry themselves into power by a pretendid dopt!(-u of the ineattrc which they have been fighting for yeais, rnd which everyone who has the leut kiunvkde of political afi'uiis hoiititij- belLvc they a e still averse to. Tin; i:t;'Lj;i.3t.v i.iTV, Hon. Newton ilucth, the Republican nominee for (lovernor of California, in the course of hid recent speech,, made the following sensible remarks concern ing the Republican party : " That which is often said as a re proach to the Republican party, wo accept as an honor it has no leaders. It has ideas. "It represents the average sense, conscience and patriotism of the people. It was the valor and patriotism of the people that fought the war; their conscience and sense of riht established reconstruction. The peoph have risen to the height -of every emer gency. They have tested every sug gestion by the principal ol individual freedom and national union, the center and circumference of Republican doc trine, and they have laid tho founda tions of future policy so broad and strong, that even its euemies admit the work is impregnable." That was a beautiful idea expressed by a Christian lady on her death-he J. in reply to a remark of her brother, who was taking leave of her to return to his distant residence, that he should probably never meet her in the land of the living. " J'rothcr, I trust we shall meet in the land of the living. We are now in the land of the dying.' Tho challenge of Sir Francis Lyell that he will tfive $250,000 toward the erection of fifty Methodist chapels in London during tho next nine years, on the condition that an equal sum be given by friends outside the city, has been accepted by the denomination with spirit, and 125,000 has already been subscribed. The work of build ing the chapels is now going on. They are to hold at lea-t 1,000 persons each, and it is found that buildings of this size, with the necessary school and class accommodation, cannot be built for less than 30,000 each. The fifty chapels will therefore cost 1,500,000. The United States Supreme Court has decided that the limitation laws of the Southern States weto suspended for the full period between the proclama tion of the blockade of the Southern ports of April 10th, 1801, and the pro clamation of restoration of Federal authority of August 20th, 18GG. The elfeet of this decision will be to ro-ojen the Courts of the Southern States to ante-war claims of Northern creditors, and to oive vitality to obligations which have been barred by limitation under tho hitherto received ruling of State Courts. The principle will apply equally to Federal and Stato Courts. 4 A TALKING MACHINlS. Inventions and improvements in ma chinery are becoming so common, that we hardly get time to! chronicle the ad vent of one, ere antoher comes up for a notice. Some are very useful, others ornamental, aud some arc neither. The latest novelty is the invention of a ma chine for talking. May Heaven pro tect us now ! Talking is already in dulged in by too many machines en dowed with animal life. In London there is now on exhibition a talking machine, which by ingenious mechani cal contrivances is made to give forth utterances similar to the human voice. It is the iuveutiou of Professor Fabcr, of Vicuna. The machine has a mouth, tongue and lips, which are set in mo tion by a mechanical apparatus, which sets free. a portion of air from a large bellows, and so controls it as to produce the sounds required, i It pronounces clearly every word required, sings, laughs, and gives expression to various utterances of the human voice. Thf machine illustrates very minutely the science of acoustic?, and is also a subject of great interest, as showing how far inventions may be carried. It, however, cau never be of any great utility. The Victoria League. We have receive 1 a circular from the above named league, asking our co-operation in the formation of a new party, to be styled "The Kquai Rights Party," ued upon the rights of both sexes to the enjoy incut of the elective fran ehise. With an earnest desire to pro mote the lights" of both sexes, we would be willing to endorse any mca sur.s which we. could see gave any promise of benefit or advantage. !ut 011 'ae eve 0 a r'''t national contot, uch as is now be lore us, it is in our judgment, i'l-udv:scd to attempt a revi siou of parlies.

Two Natick, Mass., manufactories make nothing but base balls, one hav ing S10.000 capital, employing six men, fifty women, and tveity children, and making "00,000 dozen balls a year, valued at 812,000. It uses six tons of rubber waste, 8,000 pounds woolen yarns, and 1,000 sides of horse hidj'S. Tho other establishment has S2,5p0 capital, employs one man, ten women and three children, and makes 4,0()0 dozen balls, of the value of $8,350. jit used 1,000 pounds of rubber waste, 1G0 pounds of woolen yarn, and 400 side horse hides. In both shops 821,700 arc paid for wages for the year. All Christians should feel their study to bo Christ's exaltation j and whatever is calculated to hinder man from be holding Him in all the glory of His person and works should be removed out of the way. ' Cod forbid that j.I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus." A Portland paper speaks tbusly con concerning improvements in that city: 14 Portland will advance more this year in respect to buildings, residences and business places, than it ever has in any one season. There are now sever al brick structures going up which would be ornaments to cities five times the .size of Portland. Besides that, there arc numerous framo buildings fyr business purposes, and any number . pf residences, from the stately French roof villa of the cr pitalist, to the mojo 1",nl,1 etory and half houses for the or rename, are being erected.
