From the OHIO Statesman.
The Laboring Mans Appeal.

Will the laboring man quietly sit
down and wait until chance or fate
shall deliver him from his oppressors
or until cupidity shall be satiated and
ayarice shall have glutted itself? If so
then let the damnable curse Of slavery
be branded upon his forehead, and let
him cease to clmor about freedom and
equality Of rights; let the last link in
the chain Of monied monopolies be riv-
cted fast upon his neck, and let him
stand q living monument for scorn and
contempt to vent itself upon; let the
finger Of the purse-proud monopolist,
who riots in the products of his toll,
continue forever, as it does now, to be
pointed atrhim with the sneer Of con-
tempt. Will the laboripg man be con-
tent with such destiny as this? |, as
one or them, and in the name Of them
all, declare never, never, no, never! In
the name of humanity, / call upon ev-
cry laboring man to stand up, in the
,aobleness Of his nature, in the likeness
OF that God who made him, and ask
that his rights be respected. Let him
demand Of those who have swayed the
destiny of this nation why it is that he
has toilcd on day after day, and year
year, having known that his strength
is wasted and his energies are exhaust
ed, without the wherewith to buy his
daily bread. Let him ask his rulers
whether it is by, an inherent law of his
nature-an imperious law Of necessity
that the laboring man is doomed to
toll on in poverty, or rather, whether it
is not owing to the fact that he is leagu-
ed with those who rob him ofhis living;
for surely, if any are worthy ola good
living it is he who fulfils the law Of his
God and his nature, and contributes TO
the support of society. Is this so? Look
around you, fellow laborers, and an
swcr me-. Is a man rich in proportion
to the labor he performs? No; but quite
the reverse Why is this sol Is it in
accordance with the laws Of God, or is
it owing to the laws of man? lsit not a
fact that all our laws and statutes are
rather leagued with capital in oppress-
ing man, instead Of protecting him a
gainst it? Labor lis the slave Of capi-
tal, whereas it should be its master.
What say you, fellow labolers! Shall
we continue on submissively until OPP
preston shall become generous, and re.
lease us from our bonds, or shall we
uou call our rulers to an account! No,o!

rags and taken to No. 226 Wilet street, whence il
was brought to the Post Office with all its conte nts
untouched. The ponch had been cut open-perhaps
by the unconscious "gatherer OF unconsidered tri-
