EQUALITY OF PROFESSIONS.

Why is 1t, we ask, that we call manual
labor low, that we associate with it the idea
OF meannesS, and think that intelligent peo-
pie should not he engaged in it? Once let
cultivated men plough dig and follow the
commonest labors. and ~ploughing, digging,
and trades will cease 10 be mean. 1t is the
man who determines the dignity Of the &C.
cupation which measures the dignity OF the
man: Physicians and surgeons perform ope-
rations less clearly than fall to the lot of
most mechanics. We have seen a distin-
guished chemist covered with dust like a Ia
borer. Still these men were not degraded.
Their intelligence gave dignity to their work,
and so our Iahorers, once educated, will give
dignity 10 their tolls. Let us add, that we
see little difference in point of dignity be-
tween the various occupations OF men,
When we see q clerk, spending his days in
adding figures, perhaps merely copying, or Il
teller OF 4 bank counting money, or a mer-
chant selling shoes and hides, we cannot see
IN these occupations greater respectableness
than in making leather, shoes, or furniture,
We DO not see in them greater intellectual
activity than in several trades. A man in
the field seems 10 have more chances of I'M
provement in his work. than a man behind
the counter, or Il man driving the quill. Its
the sign of i narrow mind, to imagine, as
many seem to do, that there is Il repugnance
between the plain, coarse exterior OF a labor
er and mental culture, especially the more
refining culture. The laborer, under his dust
and sweat, carries the elements Of humanity,
and he may put forth its highest powers
We doub, not. there is as genuine enthusiasm
IN the perusal of works of genius, under a
hOmespun garb as under finery. Profound
thought and poctical inspiration have most
generally visited men, when, from narrow
circumstances or negligent habits. the rent
coat and shaggy face have made them quite
unfit for polished saloons. A man may see
and may be thrilled with beauty, in
one costume or dwelling as well as ANOTHER;
and he respect himself the more for the hard
under which his intellectual force has
been developed.

When we came TO Davis Hill, the party

heard the sound of n horse coming at full

comes a trader going to New York." When
he came within proper distance, we stepped
out before him in the road. Gentlemen, said

The National Inteiligencer of the llth inst.
in an article of more than three columns
discloses the leading topics which are TO be
brought before Congress at the 'approach,

/. The distribution of the sales of public
lands among the several States.

his companion "augmentatiOn Of duties. picks

fact that these two are found in company, is
proof that they are impoSterS and rogues.-
Who ever heard Of the dlmS,girer and tar

iocerhers When did the world ever see a
Government guilty of the folly of sending out
two of its agents in company, one to give
its people ten dollars each, and the other to
take ten from them at the same time' What
wise Government ever paid collectors or
gents to 90 through such an idle ceremony
as this! This proceeding is rot folly; it is
worse. 1t is not to gipe ten and take ten.
