WoRKlNe MEN SHOULD STUDY PoLIrics.-I
respectfully counsel those whom ! address
(the working men Of America) TO take part in
the politics Of their country. These are the
uua discipline Of a people, and do much fer
their education. ! counsel you to labor. for a
clear understanding Of the subjects which agi-
tate tire community, to make them your study,
instead Of wasting your leisure in vague pass,
iona,e talk about them. The time thrown a.
way by the mass Of the people on the rumors
Of the day might, if better spent, give them
good acquaintance with the constitution, laws.
history and interests Of their country. and thus
establish themselves in those great principles
by which particular measures are to be deter
mined. In proportion as the people thus i'm
prove themselves, they will cease 10 be the
tools Of designing politicians. Their inteili.
gence. no, their passions and jealousies, will
be- addressed by those who seek their votes.
They will exert not a nominal, but real in.
Auence on the government and the des,inies Of
the country, and. at the sama time, will for.
ward their own growth in truth and virtue.-
Self Culture. by Dr.. Charming.

There is every prospect that we shall soon
have good times agan-that is, such times
az we had in '35 and SO. The spirit Of spec
ula,ion and adventure has again revived, and
runs high in the east. The banks are expan-
ding their issues, and overtrading has again
commenced. Our imports greatly exceed our
exports, and as natural consequence, the
specie Of the country is rapidly flowing to Eu-
rcpo. Stocks spectators have resumed their
won.ed occupation; the only difference being
that they now gamble in factory and rail road
stocks, whereas they formerly dealt in State
securities. Burlington Gazette.
