From the Cincinnati Ga1ctts
Ohio Wine.

The cultivation of the grape and manufacture Of wine
in various parts of Ohio, and more especially in this city
and vicinity, has become O business Of no trining impor-
tance, and is attracting much attention from some of our
most intelligent and prominent citizens. A correspond.
ent writing hence to Newark. Nav Jersey, says:
"The quality of wine manufactured in this vicinity
surprises me. ] have just returned from a visit to one
of n. L%ongworth's wine cellars, where | saw seventy
five thousand bottles Of sparkling Catawba, ard about
forty thousand gallons Of wine in casks, varying from
forty to five hundred gallons In each. The cellar is one
hundred and twenty feet long, forty feet wide, and forty
deep and it is the intention Of the owner to increase il &c
double this size during the coming spring. Besides Mr..
Longworth, there are many other persons in Cincinnati
and the neighborhood, engaged in the cultivation OF the
grape, and il is supposed that not less thanone thousand
acres are devoted TO this purpose. The Catawba grape
is, | believe, much preferred to any other variety for
wine, and invariably ripens better than the Isabella in
this climate"

Such is the caption of a telegraphic despatch, publish

TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER s5, 1851.
Cepsistencv.

The Newcastle Courier. after quoting our remarks IN
relation to the election of Farwell, the Wing Abolition
list. for Governor Of Wisconsin. says:
"Now, would it be believed, that this same paper,
not four weeks ago, was growing and rejoicing and GO
ing of in extacies over the election OF Reuben Wood, as
Governor Of Ohio. And who is Reuben Woodf Why,
he's a Democratic Aboluionist, and lin favor OF the IN,
conditional repeal of the fugitive slave law for proof oil
which we refer to his inaugural Message to the Ohio
Legislature, delivered just after the passage OF that
measure. -
The cases of Farwell and Wood are widely different.
Farwell was the regular nominee Of the Wing and Abo.
lition Conventions. He received both nominations, and
there was an open and avowed coalition. He favored
the Wing policy in relation to Banks, and the Abolition
policy in relation TO Slavery. The union of the two par
ties was open and undisguised. On the other hand
Wood was the Democratic nominee, Vinton the Wing
and Lewis the Freesoil. Each party had their candi
date in the field. We do not like Gov. Woods position
on the fugitive law. He was in favor of certain amend
ments, which we oppose. Yet in his message, he ex
pressed his opinion in favor of the constitutionality o.
the law, and recommended strict obedience to its proyi
sions. His message was severely condemne by the
Frecsoil journals, and they refused to give him their
support, and, as the result shows, increased their vote
over three thousand The position of Mr.. yinton was
no better than Woods. He had been a member o.
Congress, and voted against all the Compromise meas
urcs, including the fugitive law. He was an old.rash.
toned John Adams Federalist had opposed every grant
of land to aid the States in the construction Of works oil
internal improvement had opposed the reduction Of
the price of public lands to actual settlers, and the grant
Of bounty lands to the old soldiers. For these reasons
we reioiced at the election of Gov. Wood, who is and
always has been a Democrat.

The Pleasures and Advantages of Labor.

There is a very false notion in the world respecting
employment. Thousands imagine il they could live in
idleness they would be perfectly happy. This is a great
mistake. Every Industrious man and woman knows
ing some seasons of the year we have holidays, and IT
is pleasing on these occasions TO see the operative en-
JOY himself; but we have generally found that, alter
two or three days of recreation, the diligent mechanic
or laborer, becomes quite unhappy. Often he signs
over the wretchedness of being idle. The fact Is, we
are born to labor and our health, comfort, and happi-
ness depend upon exertion. Whether we look at our
bodies or examine our minds. everything tells us that
our creator intended we should be active. Hands, feet,
eyes, and mental powers, show that we were born TO
to be busy. If we had been made to be idle, a very
large portion of our bodily and mental faculties would
be redundant. Sir Charles Bell exhibited the wonder
ful structure of the human hand, other Psychologists
have entered into a minute description of our bodies
generally, and have displayed their wonderful adapta-
ton for the business of life. Metaphysicians also, have
dilated on mind and its operations, and have brought
forth to view its marvellous powers, demonstrating that
man was intended to be lord of this lower creation.
But then all depends upon labor. There are the same
mind and body in the savage that haunts the wilderness
the gonrmsnd that merely eats, drinks, and sleeps
the lady that lounges on a sofa, and boasts that she me-
yer did anything, nor even wet her fngers-and the my
riads of active hands and hearts that change the desert
into a paradise, and furnish it with all the comforts,
enioyments. and luxuries Of life. Industry and toll make
all the difference between the useless and the useful.
Did the world consist of ladies', we should be starved,
~famished, and poisoned; or did 1T contain none but gen.
tlemen unfit for manual labor, we must all perish for
kings, lords, Alexanders, Caesars, Caligulas, or Jeza.
bels, would soon have the globe without an inhabitant.
Exertion, activity. study and toll, all properly directed
TO some useful end, are the great requisites OF every age
and country. Give us these, and we can soon have a
happy, a prosperous, an enlightened and a refined era.
