IABORS THANkSGIvING HYMN.
BY MARY HowlTT
Tha, mus, work thank thee, God!
know that hardship, toll and pain,
Like rigorous Winter in the sod
Which doth mature the hardy grain,
Call forth in Man his noblest powers
Therefore, hold my head erect,
And, amid lies Severesl hours,
Stand sleadfast in my seli-respect.
thank thee, God, that mus, toll
Yon ermined slave OF lineage high,
The same-law lord who owns the soil,
Is not so free man as
He wears the letters of his clan;
Wealth, birth and rank have hedged him in
heed but this, that am MAN,
And 10 the great in mind akin
Thank God, that like the mountain oak
My LOT is with the storms of life;
Strength grows from oul the empesl's shock;
And patience in the daily strife.
The horny hand, the furrowed brow,
Degrade not, howe'er slolh may deem;
IT'S this degrades-to cringe and bow,
And ape the vice we disesteem.
Thank God for Toll, for hardship, whence
Come courage, patience, hardhood,
Anc for that sad experience
Which leaves our bosoms flesh and blood;
Which leaves US tears for others woe!
Brother in toll, respect myself;
And lei thy steadfas, virtue show
That man is nobler far than peli!
Thank God Tor Toll; nor fear the face
OF wealth nor rank: fear only sin,
That blight which mars all outward grace,
And dims the light Of peace within
Give me Thy hand, my brother, give
Thy hard and toll stained hand 10 me;
We are no dreamefs, we shall live
A brighter, better day 10 see

BRIGHT SIGN IN THE WEST.

For a long time the Democratic party in
Missouri was divided into two parties, the
"hards" and The "soits" which, through their
respective journals, The Missourian and The
Reporter waged fierce and bitter war upon
each other. We rejoice that The cause OF
this al one lime alarming discussion has
been removed, and the party will now be iul-
y united on the great questions OF the day
The Two rival papers have been purchased by
Messrs. L. Pickering l. Co., who now publish
an excellent paper called The 81. LoniS Jaion-
With such Jealous and practical spirit OF
union and harmony in our ranks, The Democra-
cy never can be put down.
In Ohio, also, the best feeling now exists
among the Democratic papers, which Tor brief
moment showed lille wrangling.
We wish we could say the same for The able
journals of the Democratic party in The Empire
State. Though their quarrels are as the soft
murmurngs of The dove, compared with The loud
and bitter blasts OF discord among the leading
Wing journals Of New York, we should rejoice
TO see their chickering's reformed altogether" In
the present interesting altitude Of affairs, let the
Democracy OF New York show its whole unbro-
ken strength on the side Of true principles.

The reduction OF wages, &C., is attributed BY
the Tariff press TO the "Locofoco Tariff" But
occasionally we see the truth pro1ruding from
mass OF misrepresentation. The N. Y. Cores
pondent of the Philadelphia North American
copfesses that The reduction of the wages OF the
carpet-makers is owing, not to the new Tariff, but
to an important improvement in machinery
Hear this excellent Tariff authority:
"By recenty-inven;ed power loom now in sue
cessful operation al Lowell, the best lhree-py
carpe,ing can be woven Tor 6, cents per yard,
whereas the price by the old method was IS els.
However, as The cost of the new machine is con-
siderable the proprie,ors OF the large factories al
Thompsonvilie Tarifville, Haverslraw, DC,
&C., have agreed 10 pay ls3 cents per yard for
the present, and continue TO go on BY The old me-
,hod. To this The operatives object, and this is

WIG PANICs-MR. WALKERS CELEBRATED
REPoRT-MR. SEDDoN'S SPEECH ON THE
TARIFF.
Gentlemen 1t is theme OF universal denun-
citation among The Democrats, and amongst many
homes, Wings in the country, that the parry now
opposed to Mr. Folks administration are moving
heaven and earth 10 create great revulsion and
shock in business, similar TO that which followed
the explosion OF The famous U. S. Bank. We
were then told that The country would certainly
be ruined, unless the Bank were re-chaHered.-
The stern Republicans of that day, viewing The
matter in difieren, light, chose TO do their duty
firmly and promptly, and then rely upon The INTEL
icence and patriotism Of the people for their sup
port. They we're goriously sustained ten-l
trust in God they may be no less SO nolc, when
they have, after long, arduous and doubtful con-
iesl. achieved another brilliant and memorable
yictory-a victory Of the laborng and industrial
classes over the combined efforts OF large capital
isis and their numerous friends, who have always
been such staunch advocates of the protective
system. As the country was not ruined, but per-
manenly benefited by the prosiralion OF The mon
sler Bank, so | hope and firmly believe all The
predictions of distress and suffering consequent
ilpon the repeal of the odious and Ubiquitous Ia
rlh of 'i2 will turn out 10 be mere moonshine,
and as unsubstanal as shadow.
Mr. Walkers celebrated Report lays bare the
iniauious injustice and fraud OF the Tariff Of ~.
earnestly enireat every Democrat in the land 10
re.peruse that document al this lime--to become
as familiar with lis striking and powerful truths
and maxims as they are with household words.
MIR. Seddons speech does great credit 10 him,
as statesman of research and ability. He loo,
like Mr. Walker, has applied the dissectns knife
freely 10 the Tariff OF 40, and, like skllul ana
tomist, he has pointed out and exposed all the
muscles, sinews, veins and arteries OF The system
You may know something Of the effect of his
speech from the fact, that he Wings every where
in the disric, are bitter and violent against him,
and protest that he shall never again represent
this district But we hear of Wing movements
in the district which calculated 10 create lrou
bic in The Wing camp.
However the Wing arrangements may turn
out. The duty OF The Democrats is plain. In order
10 secure Mr. Seddon's reelection, and TO defeat
the Wings, we must be united and vigiant. l;
will be a shame and reproach if Mr.. Seldom
should be defeated for the gallant and noble stand
he has taken in defence OF the Constitution and
OF those high principles of justice and equality
which ought 10 form The basis Of every free and
independent government Democrats every
