A Coop MovE AMONG WoRKMEN.-
The Piusburg Post states that large num-
Der of workmen in the different rolling mills
10 and about Pinsburg have il in coniempla-
zion TO erect new iron establishment fur
nish their own capital, conduct their own bu-
siDess and share the profits equally Ii is pro-
posed that two hundred persons, practical
workmen, should combine their ca PiIaI skill
aud energy, and form company, 10 be gov
erncd by rules and regulations of their own
adoption. Each member shall furnish 500
dollars to be put into capital Of 100000
dollars, with which to commence business.
Each member of The association will have a
particular branch assigned to him-all will
be actively employed and there will be no
drones or idlers. In addition to the manu-
tacture of iron of all kinds, they are thinking
of establishing in connection herewith a
sheet tin mandatory. We believe there
IS not an establishment Of this kind in the
United States; and persons who worked al
the business in England know that the facil-
lies for manufacturing in this country are as
good as anywhere else. The block tin,
which is principally imported from Peru,
forms about 10 per cent of The ingredients
Of the sheet; The balance being iron, oil course
the manufacture will not be so difficult as
some suppose.
This is scheme that heartily commends
lself 10 our views on such subjects. There
is no other way in The world for workmen 10
elevate themselves than by such schemes as
this. Why should they not, and why can
they not, enjoy both the fruits Of capital and
labor.

LIGHT
By D. BATES.

Thou Sun from whose broad disc ethereal rays
Are poured profusely over land and sea,
Uutil all nature kindles in the blaze
/ wonder not the Persians worship thee;
For have stood and watched thy morning beams
Empearl the landscape, bathed in crystal dew;
Or dance at evening on the crimsoned streams;
Or fringe the clouds that yelled thee from my view,
Until felt that could almost worship too
Thou source of life and light whose magic power
Sustains the changes OF the rolling year;
Paints the young verdure, and the opening flower,
And permeates the earth and atmosphere.
Atoms and worlds alike bask in the light
That streams unceasing from thy central fire;
Which being quenched one moment, ancient Night
Her throne would take, and Nature would expire
o. Earth the mother thou oflife, thou Sun, the Sire
Creation slept, as sleeps an unborn thought,
Until the darkness from its couch was driven,
And then awoke, and shouted as it caught
The rays from thy refulgent orb in heaven.
And for six thousand years thy steady light
Hath blessed the nations of the teeming earth,
Giving successive seasons, day and night,
And all that's beautiful and lovely birth
Man know this much, and owns at least thy power
and worth.
But all thy natural splendors were in vain
The moral darkness brooding DER mankind
Called for another sun upon the plane,
To kinde in the armament ofmind.
Judeas hills first caught its morning rays,
And angels stopped from their abodes Of bliss
To hail the harbinger of better days,
The Sun of righteousness, the Prince Of Peace:
IT'S nOtidolatry for man to worship This.
Though you resplendant orb may set in gloom,
And shuddering Nature on her couch reciine,
While darkness like pail enwraps her tomb;
Still shall this Light in glorious triumph shine.
Already has it broke the mental night
That hung upon the world its whitening ban;
And nations now are rising in their might
Both king and subject hold whate'er they can
Each one alike surprises TO find himself man.
It's march "a onward, like rushing tide
That ebbs not though the stream may rise and fall
Sweeping oppression, tyranny, aside;
Thrones, sceptres, titles-verbal nothings ALL
Shall vanish the mists at mornings dawn;
Its foes must yield, or, overwhelmed, be hurled
From their high seatsfEo cline to cline, still on
Its banner shall be over all nnfurled,
Ijntil its splendor, Ike glory, wraps the world.

ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE
CONVENTION.

ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE
CONVENTION.
The President was conducted to the chair
by Mr.. King of Ga, and Mr.. Fuller of New
York.
Mr. Morehead addressed the Convention in
an able and appropriate speech, in the course
of which he said he did not possess language
adequate to express TO the Convention, his
grateful feelings and to return due thanks for
the honor which had been conferred upon him.
in selecting him as President of the Conven-
ton. If he possessed the qualifications neces-
sary to fill the Office as il ought to be filled, he
should be grateful-but as he did not possess
those qualifcations-why the kindness of the
members of the Convention was the greater
and therefore he felt that his Indebtedness was
so much The larger.
In promoting the object for which this as
sembly had been convened, he hoped that the
members would yield all their personal pre-
ferences-and bring forward their united coun-
sells and united wisdom. Let us rear our stan
dard, and that would lead us on to victory
Let US inscribe on it-prosperity to our coun-
try-and let no fold oft be stained with the
motto that ''to the victors belong the spoils.
IF spoits there must be-let them spring from
rescuing their common country from her pres
ent condition-that employment might be fur
nlShed 10 ALL ner industrious SOnS-tnat the
seas might TEEN and be witened with the sails
Of our commensurate our agriculture and
manufactures might fourish-and that we
might thus abundantly enjoy the great bless
ings which kind Providence had bestowed
! upon us.
If our deliberations should be conducted
with that order and that love of order which
4 should ever characterize our deliberate meet
ings--then we must and should eventually
triumph. And if there must be 8pofl8-ther
might the Wing party have large portion on
ly of those spoils that will bring happiness tc
every man, and prosperity 10 every door. i
the deliberations and discussions of this Con
vention should tend to restore the prosperit!
and promote the greatness Of our country
+; then would he-the President-indeed have
pride and honor-in rejecting that he had pre-
sided over those sages and patriots, TO whose
councils night be attributed such happy results
-(Great cheering.)

cast was as follows: Taylor, 1873; Clay, "a

Music OF THE HAMMER.--Bui, after all,
were we TO seek out only one sound in the
world, as a representative or expression OF
life, business, health, vigor and improvement
we should certainly name the sound Of the
hammer. What on earth is there that is
more cheering? 1t is the very note of pre- p
aration for business, and gives thrill that is
peculiar 10 ITSELF and to all that lie inert
around it.
What brings the morning so fresh and Vi
vd 10 the mind of the sluggish as the ham
mer which sounds from The neghborng roofs.
II is the veriest reproach an indoleni man can
have, and speaks straight TO the heart, in
those quiet, manly tones, which on y The sim
cefesi friendship employs. And then, how
much is in that sound besides! What a
| range can fancy take when such sound
comes forth! There is the workmen on the
roof of new building, or in the shop of q
mechanic, or The store of merchant. Ii is
The carpenter, the blacksmith, the tnmsn,
the leweler, or the worker in marble; all
industrious, all busy. The "sound of the
hammer" is the note that iorewarns the
world of The whereabouts of the hard work
/ ltIE ildl IAOOut IL 10 i8p
The man lie owes, hears ii, and waits conien
ted !, feeling thai he is safe. There is spi
rit in the sound OF a hammer which affects
more or less nearly the whole would. Some
people go through life without noticing one
sound from anolher In The multitude of moi
ses around them; but We will answer for the
sound OF the hammer, that not one ever heard
il without being conscious of an expression
either positively pleasant or certainly painful
Mechanics should sick TO their hammers loi
they are senlinels of industry and bestower;
of praise.
The hammer is an instrument Of powe
and greatness. BY il are forged the sworC
of contention and the ploughshare of peace
BY it are forged The press of the free, ana
the shuckles of the slave" Let our mechnn
les in the emblem of The hammer, always be
hold an instrument to unfeuer The darkness
Of The mind and 10 drive truth and knowledge
home 10 the hearts and consciencss of those
who look sneerngIy upon labor as the Smill
lorges The nail or The spike which uniles 10

deep, or the timbers oftbe fabrics that can
