Capital and Labor.


Capital and labor can exist in but two relations
-congcnerous or antagonistic. They are never
congenerous only when it is true that labor consti
tutes capital, which can only happen through sIa
very. The deduction is then clear, that out of
slavery, capital and labor must be forever antago-
nistc. But, again, capital governs labor, because,
while labor not0 crisis labor can possess it only
by It's own consumption, But when the two are
congenerous, labor, as tool, is not urged to its
injury because the tool itself, is capital but
when antagonstic the tool is urged to its utmest
power because its injury, its rain touches not the
capital. Hence, we often hear slave labor is the
less productive. The proposition Is not affected
by facts attending him who is said to be free, but
who only labors for his individual support be-
cause while be adds nothing to the general stock,
he vet falls within the catalogue of being slave to
himself. "The Lord sent him forth to till the
ground" (Lo croa, to slave the ground ito 90
Slave labor for his own support.
Such is the first degree CT slavery to which sin
has subjected all mankind. Therefore, in such
case, labor is capital. But the very moment
lower degradation forces him to sell his labor, can

come antagonstic.
On the one hand labor is seeking for all ON the
other, capital is seeking for all But The capital
governs, and always obtains the mastery, and re-
duo e. labor down to the smallest plttance. Thus
antagonstic capital and labor that the former
is forever trying to lessen the value oil the other by
art. BY machinery; thus converting he tool of la
borinso capital itself Tie political difference be-
tween the influence OF these wo relations, capital
and labor is very great. We feel surprised that
the sympathes OF the aboiitionists are moi chang
ed, from the miseries where capital and labor are
accidentally consenesous, 10 consideration of
that morass Of misery into which The worn out
broken tools OF laborare thrown with cruel heart
lessneSs, where capital and labor are antagonstio.
Under the one system, beggars and distress from
want, are unknown, because such things cannot
exist under such an organization of society But,
under the other, pauperism becomes leading ele-
ment. The history of that class of community in
all free countries, is monument of free ta5or.-
We ask the politician to consider these facts while
he searches the history Of man for light, in the in
curry of what is the most tranquil, and in all its
parts, the most happy organization of society,"

but the Journal and the Tribune, and those affii-
ated with them, speak aad act in the most often
sive manner In fact their whole course has been
such, In the matter of The selection Of delegates,
that we are compelled TO come to the conclusion
that they are ondeavorng TO prevent harmony in
the Wing ranks and that their policy is to defeat
any Wig candidate for the Presidency that may
be nominated. Their first endeavor has been to
prevent if possible. the selection of a candidate
upon which the party, as a national organization
can unite, They know full well that without such
one defeat is certain. The next effort has been
TO keep up and increase the divisions which have
unfortunately existed in the Wing party Of this
State, with view Of giving New York 20 the
Democrats in the case of the nomination of one
who can secure the Wing vote Of the Union. 1t
Is known that the Erening Journal is at the head
who have used. and who propose hereafter 10
use, the Wing party merely as the instrument of
their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. As preposterous as II
may seem, they still cherish the hope of being able
to elevate one Of their number to the Presidency.
They regard the election of Wing President next
fall and particularly one from this State-as like
y To interfere with their schemes. Hence their
anxiety TO keep up the feud, to prevent union
of the party; for they not in position to
be benefited by its successful acion their leader ia
not in the field, their selfish plane could not be
ricd out, their schemes OF personal advancement
could not be consummated-withoutw which Wing
victory ia nothing to them. In this the Courdnt.
and the Wings everywhere, will see solution Of
the strange and unnatural-to those who are not
fully acquainted with them-course of the Euening
Journal, Tribune, and their echoes. They are but
the organs OF base, corrupt, and unprincipled de-
magoguesi who rejoice notin the triumph Of Wing
principles when it brings to them the coveted
possession of Office and unlocks the public treasury
and paces il within their grasp.
