HUMAN LABOR .

In the history of the world the re is no.
thing more starlllngly melancholy, and 10
a sober mind, more lncomprehenslble than
the degradation which has accompanied la
Dor. The man who has sought to make
the artificial a continuation Of the natural
world, has ever been despisod. The great
est nation of antiquity, Rome, pronounced
labor infamous. The highest philosopher
of the most refined of tho Greclan states,
considered the study Of philosophy, and
the practice OF mechanical labor inconsis-
tent. Work and slayery-not conslrue
tive slavery actual slavery, with its
cruciiiXions and chains, went together
The mechanic was bought, sold, and muir

nails Of Rome tell OF the degradation aud

which man is enabled to live, But now,
aftor n long night Of suffering and shame,
Labor has the dawn of its day. 1t begins
TO act and live with liborN dignity, and

A triumph of production, as glorious as
the old one of destruction is infamous, is

curious, moving array, TO the admlrlng

How BANK NOTES MAY M COUNTER
rEIrBD.-Thc banks will have 10 be on
their guard, for it appears that, by means
of the daguerreotype, the exact note can
be so copied as TO defy the strictest scrull-
ny. One gentleman says he copied sew
eral bank of England notes upon metallic 4
plates, by merely rejecting the light from
them to the plates, as IS done in taking
miniatures. By a simple chemical pro-
cess no converted them into permanent
engraved plates, and then proceeded 10
take impressions from them, which exh.
bitcd a striking and remarkably exact like.
ness to the original, even showing the
waved lines in the paper. lie says, more
over, that he entertaIns no doubt but tho
process is known in France, and that the
Gl00 counterfeit notes offered at the bank
Of England were executed by it. So eX.
act were the countchcits, that tho bank
actually paid some Of them, and accident
ally discovered the second or third note by
a genuine note of the same number, date,
and letter, being offered at the same time.
lie thinks there is not a bank bill in ex-
istence but what can, by slfillful manage
ment, be 50 perfectly counerfeted as to
defy the detection Of the bank which is
sued ii.
He supposes there can be but one pro-
bablc mode Of prevention, and that IS, to
have the bin crossed transyerscly with a
variety Of strong colors. Even in this
case, he docs not know but the difficulties
might be surrnounled by ingenuity and
perseverance,. LSpirHofhe Times.
GOVERNOR ELLSWORTH Of Connecticut,
it will be seen below, takes the true stand
which all parties, wishing to preserve tho
character Of our free Republic should rail-
y upon, without political distinction.
The present laws Of naturalization, wo
believe, are fully sufficient Let Us sec
that they arc enforced II these are yio-
lated what is to prevent any alteration
from being also violated.
A great whiS meeting held last week
in Hartford, Ex-Governor Ellsworth gave
his views III tho Native American party.
He believed the prolongation Of the resi-
dsncc required before naturalization was
not tho remedy; he thought five years pro-
baton long enough. The evil was in tho
fraudulent violation Of existing laws. He
would 60 for no such prescription as the
i Native American party required and he
