WAGES OFLABOR.

The happy state of labor and wages,
which Mr.. Senator Buchanan and other pro-
minent friends of the Administration are
seeking to bring about in this country, is ra-
pidly approaching. The labors Of the free.
men Of the United States, and the slaves Of
Cuba, will soon yield about equal wages.
Already the blessed era has begun. The
Hagorslown Torchlight states that the labo-
rers on the Franklin Railroad, now in pro-
gress Of construction, are working at this
time for seventy-five cents per day and that

Praise be TO the God who made us, for the
faculty be has implanted in mans breast to
rise superior to the pressure Of circumstan-
ces! The strength, the elasticity, the buo.
yancy of spirit possessed by the human mind
is its greatest shield and protector against
the assaults of the world. Though the shaft
of calumny be pointed against the breast
though friends Gas they always do) prove
false, threacherous, tickle, and deceitful--
though fortune frown, and men look strange
and distrusful-still is the godlike face of
nature ever upon with its winning smile TO
the sons of man. Her plans are spread for
the footsteps ef ALL.-For ALL, her breezes
blow, her gentle rims descend, her fountains
are unlocked! Committing with nature,
and through her with natures God, how
contemplate appear the pursuits which en-
gross our daily care! How miserable weak
the hopes, the fears, the ambition, the tricks
and practices of knavish world!
1t is on the bosom of the wide prairie that
the heart expands. The fetters of daily
care are rent asunder. In the holy solitude
of nature, we commune with that which
looks with scorn upon the petty tolls of ar
tifcial life. We revive to the existence of
patriarchal simplicity. The true dignity of
of man asserts ITSELF The soul swells to its
plori0uS supremacy.

TO the Public.

The rights of editors and publishers of paperl
have been too long neglected. Justice will never
be done unless themselves assert their rights
and enforce che most rigid rules, which in the
end will be found alike salutary to the public and
beneficial to those engaged in the press. Pub
fishers of papers have been so long imposed upon
by the community at large, that they are consid-
cred to some extent a degraded class OF beings,
when in fact there is vocation in life so honor
able, deserving of so high consideration, produc-
tive of so much good, class that exerts so power
full an influence. 1t is known to be proverbial for
the debtors to newspaper publishers to consider
their demands the last to be paid--debts to
which there is attached no moral obligation, and
which they can refuse to pay with Justice and
honor: hence, it is incumbent upon the conduc-
tors of the press to assert their own rights, and
resolve, severay and jointly, to bring all patrons
of newspapers under the same obligations that at
tach to other contracts, or always remain in pow
erty and want, with thousands due them from the
most solvent men in the country.
We call upon all editors and publishers of pa
pers who approve of the following rules to endorse
them by their signatures-place them at the head
of their papers, and strictly adhere to them.
LIST. No subscription received without payment
IN Advance.
ID. No subscription received for less than six
months.
Sd. Advance payment will be required from
all transient advertisers.
4th. To announce no man for any office, either
State or County, without the advance payment OF
tSJb 0Ott1TSs
5th, Political circulars charged as advertise
ments and payment required In advance.
9th. All advertisements of personal alterca-
ton will be charged double and payment requlr-
ed IN Advance.
9TH. Election tickets will not be printed with
cut order, nor delivered to any person without
payment.
9Th. All subscribers, without respect to persons
who are delnquents, on the first of October, will
be stricken from the list, and their accounts put
in suit.
The above rules, we, the undersigned, pledge
ourselves to abide by. -,

SIGNS OF THE TIMES-WAGES OF
LABOR.

The hard money doctrines of the admi-
nistration, in their application to the wages
of labor, do not appear 10 take very well
with the people. We are not surprised at
this, and we can therefore the more readily
pardon Mr.. Buchanan for his outrageous
ebullition of passion against MIR. Senator
Davis. Flesh and blood mere flesh and
blood cannot stand such results as are now
exhibiting among our industrious and OPP
pressed population.
One of the most remarkable signs of the
times that have fallen under our obserVa-
ton, is the complete rout of the Locofocos
in the town Of Lynn, Mass. distinguished for
its shoe manufactures, and till of late tor its
Lccofocoism. The regular LocOfoco majo-
rity there for several years has varied from
two to five hundred. The Boston Atlas

will give HARRIsoN $500 majority. She
gave him SAB in 1886. If the rest Of the
