Free Labor.
The great Democracy of this country
have emblaznned on their bannnrs the
doctrines Of Free Labor; and although the

DOT Of a freeman has tracked the soil,
there we design shall be unfurled the ban
ner OF free labor. In the North as well as
the South, labor ought TO be free, and
shall be free. Mt only do we contem-
plate the settlement of Territories BY free
men, bht We look for the period wheh llie
free laborers OF the North shall rise froin
the degradat tion into which they have been
thrown by monopolis,s and avaricious
or phaiists. That system Of Northern
slavery which coinpels a ihah TO @otk l5

system which keeps children employed 13

tt on shalt not rob me, thieyish Time,
OF all ray blessings, all my Joy;
have some jewels in my heart.
Which thot art powerless TO destroy.
Thou tNays't dcnude my arm of strength,
And leave my temples seam'd and bare:
Deprive my eyes of passions light,
And scatter silver DER my ha r: 10
But never while a book remains,
And breathes a woman or a child,
Shalt thou deprive me whilst live,
OF feelings fresh and unde filed.
No, never while the ear th is fair,
And reason keeps its dial bright,
Whate'er thy robberies, Oh! Time,
Shall be bankrupt Of delight.
Whate'erth victories on my frame,
Thou cans not cheat me OF this truth
That though the limbs may faint and fail,
The spirit can renew its youth.
So, thicvish Time, fear thee not;
Thou'rt powerless on this heart of mine;
My jewels shall belong to me;
IT'S but the settings that are thine.
