We have received from the Central Democratic Com.
mee of Massachusetts, the address of the democratic
convention and also the address of the whg conven.
ton of that State They leave the impressions up
on our minds declared in the following accompa-
nyng card from the committee. We wish in our
power to place copy of these antagonstic documents in
the hands of every in the South and indeed Of the
whole Union. They show by contrast who the best
friends of the constitution and the spirit of compromise
which it was framed What madness is that still urges
the southern wings to persevere in close alliance with
the wings and abolitonists OF the North Mr. Webster
and their other leaders proclaim that the reeso doc
has long been their Creed and that they are better en-
titled claim it than the banburners OF New York
And yet the wings of the South taking these and
their doctrines their arms at the imminent hazard Of
sacrificing the interests of the South and the spirit of
the con stitution:

An Ohio paper, which reached us by yesterdays mall
also speaks of letter from the General, which is about
to appear to the same effect
We know not how all this may be- though warn

Mr.. Truman Smith, from General Taylor, and that Mr.

it has been broken down for ayes. Let it
then be built up again-here, if any where,
on these shores of anew world, Of new civil
liza.ion. But how, it may be asked, is it
broken down. Do not men toll, it may be
said? They do indeedtoil; but men mos, gen.
orally do i, because they must.
Many submit to it as, in some sort, de-
grading necessity; and they desire nothing
so much on earth as escape from ii. They
fulfil the great law of labor in the letter, but
break it in spirit. To some field of labor,
mental or manual, every idler should hasten,
as "a chosen, coveted field of improvement.
But so he is not impelled to do under our
imperfect civilization. On the contrary, he
sits down, folds his hands, and blesses him
self in idIeness. This way of thinking is
the heritage of the absurd and un US. feudal
system, under which serfs lsbored, and gen.
tIemen spen, their lives in fighting and feast
ing. 1t is time tina. this opprobrum of toll
were done away.
Ashamed to toll art thou. Ashamed Of
thy dingy workshop and dusty labor field;
Of thy hard hand, SCARED with service, mo &.
honorable than that of war; of thy. soiled
and wea'her-srained garments, on which
mother nature has embroidered mist. sun
and rain, fire and stean,-her own heraldic
honors: Ashamed of these tokens and IL
Ties, and envious of The daun,ing robes of
imbecile idleness andvanity Il is treason
to nature, it is impiesy TO Heaven; it is
breaking Heavens great ordinance Toll, ]
repeat; toll, either of the brain, of the heart,
or of the hand, is the only true manhood,
the only true nobility.

TEA AND COFFEE.

These pleasan. beverages have been ex-
tensive!y denounced by persons who fanci-
ed their nerves SO delicateIy organized, and
so exquisIlely sensitive, that it needed a tho
rough revolution in Diele,ics TO keep them
alive and in health. We have often been
amused at the constrained e forts Of such per-
sons to convert US TO their way of thinking,
as we'll as eating, and reciprocate their kind
intentions by presenting them dish of Our
favorie beverages, prepared by DR.. ROBERT
SON, and extracted from his work on Diet
and Beginner,
''There are probably few things for which
we ought, as regards the means of health,
to be more grea!eful TO Providence, than the
introduction of tea and coffee As civilization
advances, the man of wealth and rank uses
personal exercise less, whether in walk ing or
on horseback, and prefers the luxurious car
rage as means Of transporting hlmselGirom

MIS- ELL A NEOUS.
THE NOBILITY OF LABOR.
BY ORyILLE DEWEY.

So material do deem this polcy-the
true nobility Of labor | mean-,hal would
dwell on it moment longer, and in lar
ger view. Why then, in the great scale OF
things, is labor ordained for US? Easily,
had it SO pleased the Great Ordaner, nigh,
it have been dispensed with. The world
itself might have been mighty machinery,
for producing all that man wants.
The motion of the globe upon its axis
might have been going forward; wi,hou,
mans aid, houses might have risen like an
exhalation,
'With the proud sound
Of dulcet symphonies and voices sweet,
Built like a temple;"
gorgeous furniture might have been placed
in them, and soft touches and luxuriant ban
quets spread, by hands unseen; and man, clad
with fabrics Of natures weaving, rather than
imperial purple, might have been sent to dis
port himself in those Elysian palaces. "Fair
scene!' imagine you are saying. 'For-
tunate for us had been the scene ordained
for human life!" But where then, tell me-
had been human energy. perseverance, pa
thence, vir,ure, heroism?
Gut off labor with one blow from the WORLD
and mankind has sunk TO crowd of Asa,it
,volup,uares. No; i. had not been for,u
nate. Better that the earth be given TO mar
as dark mass, whereupon to labor. Better
that the rude and unsigh,ly materials be pro-
vided in the cre-bed and in the forest, fo
him TO fashion to splendor and beauty
BETTER. | saw not because Of that SPLENDID
and beauty, but because the act creating then
is better than the things themselves because
exer,ion is nobler than enjoyment; because
the laborer is greater and more worthy 0
honor than the idler.

The curtain drew aside
Before, half sleeping, l bethought
Me, that my boy had died
Take them away =! cannot look
On aught that breaths of him!
Oh, take away the silver cup,
His lips have touched its brim,
Take the straw hat from off the wall,
IT'S wreathed with withered flowers;
The rustling leaves do whisper me
Of all the loved lost hours.
The rattle, with its music balls
Oh, do not let them sound!
The dimpled hand that grasped them once
Is cold beneath the ground.
The willow wagon on the lawn
Through all my tears see;
Roll it away, Oh! gently roll,
1t is an agony!
His shoes are in the corner, nurse
His little feet no more
Will patter like the falling rain,
Fast up and down the floor.
And turn that picture to the wall
His loving mournful eye
Is piercing through my very heart,
Again | see him die!
Oh, anguish how he gazed on me
When painted out his breath!
never, never knew before
How terrible was death.

Art thou forever gone?
