good; but with it the journeymen have nothing
to do. They are intelligent, responsible men,
and owe duty to themselves, but have nothing
to do with legislating for editors or newsboys.
They know that the Almighty casts the mantle
of darkness over the earth for a certain period
that His creatures may have rest; and that He
has established and confirmed tho Sabbath as
day of rest from labor, and of religious wor-
ship; and they know the violation Of His will
entails physical and moral evils upon them.
Knowing this, their path of duty is plain. 1t
is simply to build up barrier against the con-
tinuance of pernicious usage. Let them
charge two prices for all work done in the un-
seasonable times we have named; and let them
leave to their employers the choice of arranging
system by which they may dispense with such
labor, or paying the increased price. This will
cause no sudden revusion in the business, but
will simply lead to the adoption by publisher
of efficient plans by which to overcome the
present unjust oppressive, and wicked usage.
We have no doubt of the success of the
measure we recommend. There may be those
who would wish to oppose the effort, but there
is q philanthropic and christian public senti-
ment in the land that will oppose them, and
they will be left to the tender mercies Of this
class

NOn-InteryentiOn.

Kossuth asks simply that England and Amer
lea shall unite in affirming the policy that
every nation shall have the right to make and
alter its political institutions to suit its own
condition and convenience" and that the two
nations England and America) shall not only
respect but cause 10 be respected this doctrine, SO
as to prevent Russia from again marching her
armies into Hungary.
1t is true that the actual power of our coun-
try must stand behind our diplomacy in this,
as in other affairs; but, by assuming this posi-
ton, he holds that there would be no danger of
our being involved in war. Let it be once
understood that England and America agree
in maintaining this doctrine, and Russia would
certainly respect it. There is wide difference
between resolute attitude, powerful enough to
prevent interference and the going to war to
repel an intervention already commenced.
Governor Kossuth has not intended to sug-
gest that America should copy the example of
France during our Revolution according to the
letter, but according to the spirit
". J.. Morning Star
The New York Herald and other prints re-
terate this explanation given by Governor Kos
suth. We hold in light esteem all demands we
are not prepared to enforce. We are perfectly
willing that England and the United States, and
all the nations they can induce to unite with
them, shall adopt the line Of conduct laid down
for their own guidance, and, by diplomacy and
all other proper means, urge the whole world
to practically acknowledge its justice. But 9
slight reference to the map of the world vii
suggest to most minds that the reign of tyranny
is as yet too widely extended to encourage
single republic, with few neophyte republi
cans Of other lands, to successfully urge Their
| demands in the cause of freedom

WORKING ON THE SABBATH.-We learn from
the Pttsburg. Post that the journeymen printers
of that city and its vicinity are making exer-
tions with view to abrogate the custom OF
working on Sundays, which is now and has
long been looked upon, in nearly all daily
newspaper Offices, as a thing inevitable, espe-
cially in the publication of morning papers.
The Post says:
"On the one hand it has been contended,
that in order to do away with this practice, we
must print a Sunday morning paper, as is now
done at the Union Office in the city of Wash
ington, in the Cincinnati Enquirer office, and
one or two others in this country. But this
mode Of publication is liable to as great obiec-
tion as that which we now pursue; for indie
pendent of the objection urged by some, on
account of reading newspapers on the Sabbath,
there is still stronger objection on account of
the ncwsboys being obliged to carry around
their papers on Sunday morning; and thus
setting them and others to buying and sell
ing on that day, which is surely at least
as criminal as quietly setting up types, or
even the more noisy operations of steam
press We can therefore see no good that
is to result from changing the day of publica-
tion from Sunday and thus let editors, compos-
newsboys will be necessarily employed at least
half the day in delivering and selling the pa
pers. But there is one course which can be
pursued that will obviatc all this Sunday work.
1t is this Let all the mail matter telegraphc
news, &C., of Saturday be set up on that day;
let the news, whether local or other, Of Sunday
be passed until Tuesdays paper; and let the
pressmen, packers, &C., all take an early start,
Immediately after twelve o'clock on Sunday
night. BY this means, all who wish to do so
can rest on Sunday the Sunday paper will be
avoided; and a portion of the force Of every
morning newspaper Office will be obliged to
commence work rGy early on Nonddy morning."
We have frequently alluded to this subject,
and endeavored to induce the printers Of all
our cities to unite in an effort to enforce the
observance of the Sabbath. We have no present
direct interest in the matter, but expect to be
in position ere long in which it will be as
much to our advantage as that Of any others to
cause labor to be done at unreasonable times
But we do not see-all employers being treated
alike-how such a measure rs we have sug-
gestcd can act to the prejudice of any one.
The programme Of the Post may be very

MERCY FOR KossUTH.-The New York Morn
ing Star makes an appeal in behalf of this dis
tinguished man. "lf the great Hungarian"
il says, F" is ever to take an active part in the
struggle of his country against Austria-if he
is ever to fulfil the mission upon which he has
come to the United States, some forbearance
must be exercised towards him. He does not
appear to be man of vigorous constitution;
and it would require almost superhuman
strength to support, continuously, for any
length of time, the present demand upon his
intellect and his lungs. Organizations here,
deputatons from other cities, the pulpit, the
bar, the press the military, in fact every COM
bination of citizens, small or large, seem to
have made it point of duty to join the league
which besets all the avenues of approach and
egress at the Irving House. Yesterday morn
ing Kossuth rose from a short sleep-he had
been writing till after midnight-unrefreshe
and weary; and We are sorry to learn that he
spat blood. This is not surprising. The lungs
of Stentor could not, with impunity, perform
the task imposed upon those of Kossuth."

you will hardly object las the public acW attend
such places Of amusement) to n few words oi
congratulation to the playgoers that a comfort.
able place is provided for their entertainment.
The National" compares we'll, in its internal
arrangements, with any theatre in the Union,
and is so much superior to the "one-horse y
concern used in this city for that purpose here
tofore, that this circumstance alone will afford
pleasure to an auditory.
The stage management, under the direction
of Mr.. Fleming, is a guarantee that good taste
will prevail in all matters coming under his sll-
perintendence He is an actor of fine talents,
and has acquired, as a chaste Shaksperian read
er, n well-known reputation There is no ex-
trayagance in the expectation that the entire
management Of the new temple of the drama
will be such as to deserve patronage, and afford
to its patrons agreeable intellectual enjoyment.

The foregoing is from the pen Of a discreet
and judicous citizen, to whose sentiments we
cheerfully give expression. We shall briefly,
but Jairiy, review the theatre about to open.
We shall not write or adopt undescrved praises
"nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in
malice" We shall endeavor SO to treat the
subject as to be just to the company and to the
public.

gerous saying that we hear so often, /" He has
but one fault'-or, "That is his only bad ha-

that a single indulged, cherished, conscious

There is n solemn warning in these striking
