lJanesv,ile Gazette, devoted to the cause Of
whiggery. Go il wtiggies!
We are gra,ied 10 learn that WM c.
ALLEN. Esq. has been appoinied Post Mas
ter al Delavan. vice, f. Brainard.
AMERICAN HoTEL.-rhis establishment
which has been closed for some time past,
has recently been opened, BY G. w. Boald-
man as Proprietor II has been entirely re-
| fitted and re-furnished. aud al the present
time is not surpassed in appearance of neat
ness and comfort by any House in town If
appearances are not deceiitul, the travelling
public and all others, will be well cared for
at the American.
Mr.. Say.in his political economy, Chap.
VII, shows the beneficial effects OF machi-
merry, as compared with al the evils which
they cause by throwing out Of employ, OPP
orators, whose labor becomes useless
Thus Mr.. Say, SAYS, that water carriers
who have supplied city, may be thrown
out of employ, but another class are given
employment, in the constructing of con
dui's, &C., 10 supply the city more readily;
the Introduction of the cotton gin, although
II threw out of employ great many arli-
zans Of particular character, in the end
opened employment for as many more; and
besides it cheapens productions, and there
by ministers TO e.beneGt of all. One of
the great results Of TIE construction Of ma
chimes is, and viii! be, do away with man
ual labor, and in the aggregate, as seems
to Us obvious, must throw out of employ
more than employ is furnished to, by them:
The effect Off has been both in our own
country, and Europe, and more particular
ly in the latter country las the field of labor
is narrowed, TO create greater compe,i-
ton, and by competition reduce the price
| of labor. This has its influence in creating
thedistress among the European operatives.
1t is true, that products are created Ia grea
ter abundance and cheaper, but as the a.
bility of the great mass 10 purchase, is by
the cause restricted, it in nowise benefits
them. The result, is that wbile the tene-
menis of the rich and perhaps The mJdling
class, give evidence in superior comfort
and greater luxury Of the advance OF the
arts, and benefits OF machinery, the tehe-
ments Of the laborers and poorer classes,
are absolutely more devoid ofcomfort,t tn an
they were century ago. There are great
er extremes Of wealth and poverty,and this
is what machinery has effected thus far
| And what. may we enquire, is to be the re-
suit of the progress still 0aking ina pprove
ments and machinery. They are doing,
just what the efforts of mind manifest in
other ways, are doing; assisting in the re-
form which society is slowly bu, surely an
dergoing; and they are the most efficient
agents, because their teaching is of a
practical character which all can under
stand. The mind cannot be instructed
whilst the body is starving, therefore one
Of the first steps of reform must be TO or.
ganize, such a condition, as that all the
wants of life can be procu red, without I'M
ceasing labor. or rather, 10 organize a
| system of economies by which Dor
shall moi be uselessly expended, nor It's
products wasted. This, organization will
at once effect, land machinery will Indirect
ly produce the same end, in longer time,
1t will so multiply the necessaries and
luxuries OIL life, that the world mus be sa-
tated; the productions must be forced into
every channel and every walk of life. and
when all our wants and comforts, are at
tended and mnisiered 10, as they will be
by machinery, it is plain that men must
be forced into different modes and motives
Of action, different social rclaiions-and
their relations must be on the basis ofthe
supremacy OF the moral and intellect ual
man, instead Of the animal man, as at
present. ..
