DIGNITY OF VOCATION,

No impression prevailing in society, is more
false or fatal to the manhood of people,
than that which guages a mans worth or
responsibility by the field of labor or profess
sion he occupies, so long MS that labor or
profession is useful or honest. And we hold
every useful vocation to be honest, denying
most emphatically, that dishonesty is ever
useful. The nobility of man, in this country
not depending, thank God! upon. hereditary
honor, title or wealth, should flow not from
the nature of his honest toll, but from the
spirit he carries to that toll; the spirit by
which, with or against the smiles of TEMPORAL
fortune he shapes his career among and his
intercourse with, his fellow-men 1t has ever
been our conyiction that he is more of the
true man, who turns chimney-sweeping to an
honest, independent account, than he who.
scorning the rough tolls of the humble and
needy, is willing to live an idler-however
proudly caparisoned, upon the industry, sweat
and blood of his felow-men.
Now and then we hear of "the most re-
spectacle class" and find, on examination, that
this responsibility is made to rest upon pecu-
iarities of profession or labor. What could
be more outrageously false in public senti-
ment; especially the public sentiment of re-
pubIicans, who have discarded the theories of
divine right, and nobility of blood and caste ?
Yes, this sentiment largely exists and is
steadily growing in our midst We see it in
athOusand displays Of pseudo-aristocracy
upstart class who, gloryng in the possession
of superior wealth. won perhaps, by the hard
handed industry and prudence of former
generation, or some successful speculation,
look down with vulgar scorn upon men who
far eclipse them in all the attributes of hui
manty.
That man is base who fails to remember
with pride noble minded or noble acting
ancestry, but bascr, is the man who seeks to
hide his own lttleness or deformity under
the mantle of reputable fOrefathers. The
proudest coat of arms ever craven on mans
shield, or fitted to his shoulders, is the home
spun coat won by honest and brave toll If
We subtract for moment from the worlds
history the record Of sturdy, humble labor,
we strip the earth of its pomps and glories.
Continents are reft of cities and titled fields,
and ocean shorn of its kees and white wings.
The patent nobilities have done little more
than to rust and corrupt the fruits of heroic
labor.

THE "UNAxIMoUs" WING NOMINATION.
The farcical folly of representing Gen. Scott's
nomination as "unanimous," as is done in the
letter apprizing him of the nomination, needs
no comment, because the fact is notorious
that Gen. Scott was nominated against the
will aud fifty times repeated vote of every
Southern State. Washington Union.
In perusing the foregoing, the Union editor
evidently forgot that there are two sides to a
question. The objection, if it be such, against
Gen. Scott, can be urged with ten-fold
strength against Gen. Pierce. If Gen. Scott
was nominated against the fifty times express
ed wish of the South, General Pierce was
nominated against the over forty times de-
clared vote cf both South and NORTH Er-
change.

sACREDNESS OF THE pLATFORM,

In an article yesterday, we alluded to the
manner in which the Democracy adhere to
the platform established by their Baltimore
Convention, and exposed their ultra disregard
of its trusts as shown by the action of the
House of Representatives on the River and
Harbor bill. On the question of the distri-
button of the public lands they have been
equally wanting in devotion to the platform.
This action of the House elected the fol-
lowing comments from the Louisville Jour-
nal:
STICKING TO THE PLATFORM late
Democratic National Convention declared in
their platform resolution that the "proceeds
of the public lands ought TO be sacredly ap-
piled to the national objects specified in the
Constitution" and V.at the Democracy are
Opposed to the distribution of such proceeds
among the States as repugnant to the consti-
tntiOn," and in less than one week after the
setting up of the Democratic platform with
this resolution in il, the intensely Democratic
House of Representatives, consisting Of the
chosen champions of the Democracy of the
whole Union, passed a bill to distribute an
immense portion Of the public lands among all
The States. .s
And this is not the worst of the business
The Democratic House of Representatives in
passing this bill, violated one of the Demo-
cratic platform resolutions but, in passing
certain other bills, it has violated hco of the
Democratic platform resolutions. In grant
ing land to aid in the construction of railways
in the Western States, it has violated the
Democratic platform resolution about Internal
improvements.
The Democratic leaders set up platforms as
mere gul-traps One day they set up plat
form and say great many solemn words
over il, and the next day they kick it con-
temptuously out of their path. The platform
of such patty is scarcely worth its weight
in old lumber.

RAILWAYS IN ENGLAND.-From the annual
statement of the Railway Department Of the
English Board of Trade, it appears that the
increase in the lines of railway during 1851
was not so great as in any one of the preced-
inc years since 1874. The maximum increase
was in lS4S, when 1882 miles were added to
the pre-existing lines. Since lS4S the in
crease has been diminishing. Only 269 were
added ii 1851. The extent of railway com
muncation open for traffic in Great Britain
and Ireland, at the close of 1851, was $3.50
miles. The number of persons employed on
railways in England on the 30th Of June,
1851, was only l06,50l, being 1926 less
than at a corresponding period in lS47 The
capital of the companies, raised by shares and
loans, at the end Of 1851, amounted to $780,
270,736.

column dcfled by, many soldiers dropped
small coins into the aperture provided for
that purpose. One man who seemed search

wound, averaging more than six inches in
length.

CASTOR Oh FOR RAILROADS. 1t is said
the Illinois Railroad, from Naples to Jackson

article (about eighty or ninety cents per
galon,) is well worth trying on the railroads.
