II seems that a controversy has lately
sprung up among some Of our party pa.
pers in relation TO the duties Of a Demo-
cratic jourual. One OF the disputants
hints that the faults or iailngs OF promi

Iilical enemies, not political friends. Re-
sponsiyely 10 this sentiment, the Cincin.

to take part, in this debate, with the En-
quirer. To conceal any kind Of political
corruption is 10 share the crime; to palli-
ute, excuse, or overlook the misconduct OF

try, aud especially so when a conductor Of
the press falls into this error. For IL is
from the conductors Of the press that the

The ebeap Postage Law.

This measure is advocated by the wings,
no less on account of tho Federal char
acter OF the measure ITSELF as for the
purpose of creating the necessity for keep.
ing up an exorbi,ant scale Of duties on
imports. Under the present postage law,
the income of the Post Office Department
will fall much behind its necessary expen.
ditureA. To supply this deficiency, the
wings propose TO draw upon the National
Treasury for the necessary funds $50 that
more money will be wanted in the Trea-
sury for the support of Government. To
supply this last want, recourse must be
Ind 10 high tariff duties. This is the
Wing policy
The distribution Of the proceeds arising
from the sales of the public lands among
the different States Of the Union, is a
whig scheme Of the same class With the
cheap postage measure. The laud fund
legitimately belongs to the National Troa-
sury, from which il should only be drawn
TO help defray the ordinary expenses Of
Government. Bot the wings would divert
it from this OBJECT, in order that high ta-
riff may be rendered necessary TO raise
the means for the support Of Government
Moneys raised by indirect taxation,
through tariff Of duties on the necessa-
ries of life, are paid equally by the poor
and the rich. He who boasts Of his mil
lions pays no more than the poor man whn,
by his daily labor, supplies his wife and
children with their daily bread II is the
interest of the poor man that as little as
possible of the means for the support Of
| he Government should be raised by ind,
rect taxation. II is bis interest, therefore,
that The land fund should not be diverted
from its legitimate use, TO be distributed
among the States, where twill be expend.
ed solely for the benefit of the rich.
For tho same reason the National
Treasury should not be drawn on to sup.
port the Post Office Department. Those
who receive communications through The
mails should be made TO pay for their trans
portation. There is no just reason why
such should not be the case. The rici
write and receive more letters than the
poor-and the rich should pay lof the
transportation of their own letters through
the mails. If the rates of postage on let
ters are not sufficient to raise the necessa-
ny amount for keeping up the Post Office
Department, they should be made so.--
The poor man has as great an interest in
the public moneys, whether arising from
the sales of the public lands, or from du-
ties levied upon the necessaries OF. life, as
the rich nun has. To take these moneys
then to support the Post Office Depart
menl, is indirectly compelling the poor 10
pay for The transportation of the rich, 10 a
great extent. This we conceive to be
wrong. The cheap postage scheme is
therefore measure for the benefit of the
rich, al the expense of the poor, and for
that reason we are opposed 10 it.

CONCUR in the prolessed objects Of lhe

One OF tho first articles in our political
creed is, that every honest man is the equal
Of every other man in the community
II is his individual merits, and not his ca
pital, thai should give him rank and posi-
non with his fellow men. If aristocralic
pride and arrogant capital have thrust the
laboring man down in the political and
social scale, we shall commend any fair
means by which existing inequalities may
be corrected, and he be placed in his true
position. 1t is notorious that the working
man has been treated most upjuslly.--
Those who most professed to be his friends
have treated him most treacherously.--

cious sentiments, and soothing phrases by
which he has been humbugged and impos-
ed upon. The protection which was de-
manded in his name and for his benefit,
has only tended TO swell the profits of Ca
pilal, to pamper avarice, and minister to
It's Unsuitable Cravings. The hypocrisy of
the game is at last discovered. Facts
have exposed the fraud and dupicity Of
the few who conspire against the rights Of
the many. The workingman has at last
determined to reclaim his rights; and
hence the movement amongst those who
have most seen and felt the true operations
Of the protective system"

Is CLOSING ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT. I
Permit me TO present my hearty thanks
10 the members composing this convention,
for the ardent, benevolent aud dlsinterest-
ed zeal which all have evinced in the en-.
deayor TO promote and sustain the great
cause of human rights.
Many and conflicting opinions have
been advanced as TO the best means which
should be adopted, but one feeling only
has animated every bosom upon the great
question of the end TO be accomplished in
the redemption Of working men and women
from that condition Of inferiority, degrade
lion, and suffering which is SO universally
attached TO labor.
Labor is scattered, divided and weak
capital is more concentrated, united and
strong, 1t is true that charity is some
times offered TO relieve oppressed labor,
but such aid is both degrading and ineffi-
Gent. 1t is but justice, not charity that
labor requires.
The character Of associated wealth is
always the same. 1t takes all, and cries
for more. Labor can be relieved only by
asserting and maintaining its own rights,
and 10 effect this, united action is ndis-
peIsable. Wealth never fails TO combine,
BY overt or tacit convention, and labor is
ls natural prey, its only food, food which
Unjust seize and consume, or die. Labor
must combine, therefore, in self defence, or
perish.
!, For such evils, no individual, or class Of
individuals, are in fault. 1t arises from
an imPerleclion in the constitution Of So
clety, which can be remedIed only by in
creased intelligence and concerted action
on The part of the whole people. To pro-
mote this object,ihe industrial congress
nave recommended an organization Of la
Oor, and Of the friends Of labor throughout
The nation.
