which you shall work up into garments
which we and our fellow workers will buy
of YOU at such prices as shall pay you fairly
for your labor and enable you to support
'vour families in comfort" And this gen.
erous resolve, when carried into practical
effect is that appalling bugbear called So
cialism.
Why should not the Workers unite thus
to aid at first and ultimately to eman,ipate
each other? Why should not those who
have work at decent wages invest few dol
lars in such an enterprise3 Nay, why
should not generous and far-seeing Capital
lists also aid the movement? If $4,000
were subscribed for this purpose, it might
be so invested and managed as to keep One
thousand Tailors constantly at work, pay
them satisfactorily for their labor, and re-
turn a fair dividend to the stockholders. -
All that's needed is resolution on the part
Of those who own or control the Capital
N Give Labor q fair cbance-not to study
solely their own profit, but to consider
the rights and welfare Of the workers
aleo-not to esteem Labor a mere COM
modify to be screwed down to the low
est far.hing, but to regard also those
who must live by labor in the spirit of
Christian brotherhood and Republican
equality. We ask those who possess wealth
to read carefully the proceedings of the
Working Mems Meeting published yester-
day and say whether Capital ought not to
shake hands with Labor on the pacific and
constructive basis there laid dOwn-whether
good men Of means ought not to profter
their counsel, their experience, aud if need
be, some portion Of their capital, to enable
the Tailors first. afterward other Trades, to
organize their labor, dispose of its products
and apportion the proceeds, on the prinoi-
ples there set forth. We trust they may do
so and that the time may be thus fastened
in which no man shall depend on any other
for permission TO work and to enjoy the fair
and definite product Of his toll. But,
Workingmen, should all others hold back,
you can solve this great problem of Liberty
in Labor il you will. Do not throw away
so fair an opportunity as the present

I'm Congress, Yesterday.

Before the passage of the California BILL
in the Senate, Mr.. Walker Of Wis. made a
sneech on Land Reform, after which that
subject was postponed till Monday. Then
came the great vote Of the day, preceded by
a variety Of froth for BuncOmbe on the part
Of sundry Southern Senator's. Finally the
bill establishing Territorial Government
for New.MexicO was made the special order
for to-day.
The House spent most OF the day IN
wrangling about change in the rules IN
tended to prevent useless talk, which all
persons that know anything about Congress
will admit to be a most wholesome Intention
Before acting on the question the House
went into Committee on the Civil ana Dl-
plomatic Appropriation bill, and MIR. oed-
don enlightened the Universe as to the out
RACES on State Rights, committed in the late
Message Of President Fillmore.

DAYS of factious obstruction and fruitless
legislation, that the Bill providing for the
Admission Of California into the Union yes
terday passed the Senate by the decisive
vote Of "a Yeas to Is Nays-almOst two to
one. The warnings of Mr.. JEFF. Davis and
the contingent tbreatenings Of Mr.. Clemens
served to postpone but not to prevent this
triumph. The House will Of course take
up this bill when it next goes into Commit
tee on the subject, and We trust it will
meantime have so amended its Rules that
small minority can no longer stop the
wheels Of legislation. That done, two con-
secutiye night-sittings ought to see the bill

Of connecting all cur principal seaports with

American Mails from the Mediterranean,
will be fayorably regarded by Congress. If
its execution be conGdcd to contractors, let
the right men be selected for the service

the service can be procured. Only let
the prosecution Of the enterprise be assured,
