Texas SrsAR.LNe have been pre-
sented by Thos. #. M'Kinney, Esq, with
a specimen Of new sugar, from the tplahta-
ton Of Mr.. John Sweeney, on the San Ber-
nard, in tBrazoria county, which, taking
color, taste, grain, and all the proper
requisites, surpasses any article Of the
kind we have yet seen Of the growth Yof
Texas. 1t is pronounced by competent
Judges to be, equal to the very best pro-
duced in Louisiana, and Far superior to the
qualities usually imported from New Or
leans. A lot will be brought to this mar
ket by TIE first vessel; and, we understand,
be sold at a lower price than is usually
asked for an inferior article Of Louisiana.
Besidesa good crop Of cotton, corn. and
the other articles usually produced on A
farm, Mr.. Sweeney has this year made
about one hundred hogsheads Of this supe-
rior sugar; a pretty faif6rop, we think,
for q, new country. We have as yet seen

Here we have it,

One Of fous, labcrers who Msre turned
out of employ ON Wednesday, Of last week,
in neighborihg manufacturing town. has
called on us and stated the facts.gd The la-'
borers are democrats-the employer a
whig. From remarks Of his agent, and
the circumstances attending this case, we
are assured thaSthese four men were iis-
charged because they were democrats.
About three weeks since, the proprietor
Of the manufactory laid down certain rules.
which his workmen were told must We
obeyed, or they would be discharged. One
Of the rules was that, if any workmen
rolled at tenpins on any alley which is Ii
censed by the whig selectmen, and on which
no betting is allowed, that they shall be
discharged; and farther, that if any laborer
made remarks, or 1anghed at the ru then
laid down. they should, on this account, be
turned away. There was much dissatis-
faction manifested among those who were
called "Jerome's Slaves" that an amnse-
mentiwhich the best men of the town have
not objected to indulge in, should betty
rannicalN J<iheldffem them. The alley
was lawfully licensed; no betting was al
lowed on it, and they thopght, their em-
ployer had no right to dictate to them,
with regard to amusement and ! ughi G,
after their days work was fairly accom-
plished. Some Of them rolled on the alley,
after their work was finished, and we
learn one Of them laughed once. Ugly fel-
low-what right had he to "laugh"-al :
borer laugh! presumptious. But some of
them did laugh, and + wl democrats were
discharged tour days before the election.-
The pretence we believe was, that they
rolled or laughed; but who does not know
that politics were at the bottom Of it alp
Fellow-citizensl we submit these facts,
and leave them 70 your judgements. Can
such things be justifedS Are they right
Cannot laborer think, and breathe, and
laugh, too, without the august permission
of l;iis employer? If not, their rights arc
