THE LABoRER Is WORTHY OF HIS HIRE
Man does not deal with his brother as
God deals with him. He causes his sun
TO shine and his showers 10 descend with
equal profusion upon all. But in adjust
ing the rewards of labor, WE adopt no
such equitable rule. We pay largel y for
the labor OF the head but little for the Ia
Dor of the hands. We graduate the
scale Of prices, not according to utili-
", or the actual severity Of labor, but
to the demand and supply. Hence the
class of manual laborers being the
most numerous, are the worst paid
people in society. We cannot control
the laws ofpolltical economy; they
are as fixed and certain as the laws of
nature. Yet,this we may and can do:
pay as literally as possible for labor
affordcd-common labor--the labor OF
the poor.

Such is the heading OF an article in the
Philadelphia Bulletin, which, though not po-
lItlcal, Is edited by Democrat. The question
is put by this editor, and answered as follows
We regret to see that the President, in his
Message. endeayorS to convey an idea that the
last Congress, by the nearly unanimous vote
of both parties, declared that the present war
existed by the act Of Mexico. A state paper
like the Presidents message, should be above
such petty subterfuges. The real facts of the
case are familiar 10 onr readers. The Wings
were eager enough to vote supplies to rescue
Gen. Taylor; but, by political trick - a
very adrOit enc we admit " were forced Ell
Their to refuse the supplies, or to pass bill to
which was affixed the preamble, affirming that
this war existed on the part eff Mexico. Ev-
cry attempt of the Wings to get rid Of this
preamble was frustrated; for their opponents
having majority, moved the previous ques-
ton. Thus compelled aither TO abandon our
gallant army TO destruction, or vote for the
Objectionable preamble, they finally did the
latter.
I nder these circumstances, it is disingenu-
Gus in the President TO say what he has said
ii the Message Oh the subject. That great
state paper viii become a part OF history, and
generations hence, when the real facts are,
perhaps, forgotten, viii be quoted a proof
that the war against Mexico was begun by
the almost unanimous vote of the peoples re-
personalities. Is this fair! How can the
President, who believes his cause 50 good, de-
scend to misrepresentation Such things we
are accustomed to in a county address, but
they are beneath the elevated tone Of Pres
Ideut's NJ asSa-e.
