kinsmen with Office There is nothing IN worse
taste, in every respect, than such abuses. Such
conduct in Mr.. Daniel Webster, is less excusa-
BILE, since the declaration charged upon him in
the Independent, as being made by him in the
Senate, that "neither for himself nor ally relative
had he solicited office But we must add in So
Der truth, that the denunciation comes rather
with bad grace from the "lndependent," pa
per devoted to Mr.. Clay, who once stopped to
raise J.Q. Adams 10 the highest office in the
country, and then Immediately took from his
hands the highest Office which ne had it in this
power to confer-an Office TOO, which MIR. Clay
pronounced TO be in the "line of SAFE pIeceedents
and thus the direct passport to the Presidency
itself.
The Rorburv Community the last num-
Der of the Boston Dial, is this account OF the new
association that has been formed at Roxbury,
Mess.
The plan Of the community, as an economy,
s in brief this: for all who have property to take
stock and receive a fixed interest thereon; and
then to keep house or board in common, as they
shall severally desire, at the cost OF provisions
purchased at wholesale, OF raised on the farm;
and for all to labor in community, and be paid at
a certain rate an hour, choosing hs own number
of hours, and their own kind or work. With
the results of the labor and their interest, they
are to pay their board, and also purchase waht-
ever else they require at cost, at the warehouses;
OF the community, which are to be filled by the
community as such. To perfect this economy,
in the course of time they must have all trades,
and all modes of business carried on among
themselves, from the lowest mechanical trade,
which contributes to the health and comfort life,
to the finest art which adorns il with food and
drapery for the mind
Ali labor, whether bodily or intellectual, is to
be paid at the same rate o. wages, on the prlncl-
pie that as the labor becomes merely bodily, it
is a greater sacrifice to the individual laborer to
give his time to it. because time is desirable for
the cultivation o. the intellect, in exact proper
ton 10 ignorance. Besides, Intellectual labor
involves Intitsel higher pleasures, and is more
lis own reward, than bodily laOor.
A other reason for setting the same pecunicr;
value on every kind OF labor, s, 20 give outward
expression to the great Truth, that all laGor 10 sa
Gre, when done Tor canmoa int rest. SAINTS
and philosophers already know this, bat the
