THE LONG BRIDGE.

The Alexandria Age says "that it is un-
derstood that it is contemplated by the
Commissioner Of Public Buildings, to close
up in few days that breach in the Long
Bridge upon the north side of which the
Ferry Boat lands to take passengers and
wagons across, between Virginia and Wash
ington. We were in hopes that this would
be the last part of the bridge that would be
repaired so that the ferry boat might not
be interfered with and that the communion
ton might be kept up. If it be true that
Captain Easily is actually about to close
that break we hope that he will provide
some equally good landing place for the
ferry boat, as we understand, that if he
does not the boat will be taken off the line,
and the people of that part of Virginia, who
reach Washington by this route will be shut
off. Let Captain Easily whilst he is re-
pairing the bridge pay due regard to the
convenience Of the people,

THE TRUE SUN ON LABOR.

What a difference there is, sometimes, in
public journals of the same name! We have
had occasion, quite recently, to notice the
course of our able and popular cotempora-
ry, that Baltimore Sun, in the present i'm
portant movement of the laboring classes.
On the other hand, it has afforded us great
pleasure to call attention to the course of
the Sun Of Cincinnati.
The latter paper, in late article on the
subject of the rights of working men, makes
the following truly excellent remarks. Let
them be read and remembered:
Already has the voice of labor been heark-
ened to, and its just demands respected.
Already has the machine doctrine of politi
cal economists been carried along by the
pressure of outward circum stances. and the
claims of humanity acknowledged superior
to trading calculations based upon the
demand and supply" doctrine of labor
machines. For once We see submission to

board of an american society, and might
have thought, as perhaps was the fact, that
the Americans who were present were guests
by sufferance, representing out of compli-
ment the country in which was being cee-
brated the egotistic orgies of English actors
and English writer's. The whole affair was
hat and spiritless. English actors and En-
gl'sh managers not only originated all con-
versation, but controlled it-prompted all
the topics, monopolized all the discussion.
Every honor given to the English dramatist,
and not solitary syllable for the Ameri-
can.
The writer says there was " eloquence
from English hearts for English actors
none for American. Boxer, Bird, Pray,
Willis, Dawes, and Matthews, with others
who might be named among dramatic writer's
of the United States; and Cushman, Now
att, Julia Dean, Miss Wemyss, among &C.

MORE BRITISH INSULTS.

We have certainly not the slightest dispo-
sition, had we the power, to multiply the
causes of difference that exist between our
own country and Great Britain. 1t is our
desire, and shall be our labor to cultivate
spirit of amity and good viii among our
countrymen toward all the nations of the
earth.
But, at the same time, we hold it to be
due to our national selfrespect, to a just
sense of American dignity, to exhibit to our
people and the world the facts of British in
reference as they occur among US.
There is a charity in the city of New York
which is called the american Dramatic Fund
Association, which has an annual .celebra.
ton. A gentleman who attended 0e cele
bration which was held few evenings ago,
give some plain facts in relation to the mat
ter in the Times, which are deserving of q
msment's consideration, at least, as they
are the straws which very plainly indi cate
which way the wind blows.
1t seems from the statement before u!
that an odious spirit Of caste and clique
characterizes every yearly dinner of thi.
Association. We are told that any one ig
norant of metropolital gossip, might have
passed the entire evening in the room with
out once observing that he was seated at thu

The Metropolitan Railroad-Again.

'The Washington papers speak of this
scheme now before the Legislature Of Mary
land, and call 1t by its proper name-a
work of the District-and class it under
the head OF "lnterest of the District.''-
This is all right and should be remembered
by our Legislators. This Metropolitan road
Is not a maryland acork, is not intended TO ben
eft Maryfand-but rather to build up the mte-
rests Of the District at the expense of Marylund.
To draw from the commercial capital Of
Maryland the great trade and travel of the
West which she has so long been battling.
Will Marylanders lend themselves to such a
project? We shall see!"-Baltinaore Arous.
We confess our surprise at these express
sions of sectional jealousy on the part of our
neighbor the Argus. We have always ad
mired and frequently commended the good
sense and prudence which characterizes its
columns, and We therefore regret the more
such symptoms of suspicion and rivalry as
the above article contains.
The Argus will permit us to object in the
first place, to the term it uses" THE Me-
TRoPoLITAN RAILROAD" We do not see
why this new Maryland road should be call
ed metropolitan one any more than others
through that State which may bring pas
sengers to Washington. Unless, indeed,
Baltimore is the metropolis thought of-to
which designation we do not in the least
object They have monthly magazine in
Baltimore called " The Metropolitan :" but
we do not know that any citizen of Wash
iDgton objects to it ON that account
''What S in name? rose, by any other name,
Would smell as sweet"
We cheerfully admit, in the next place,
that the proposed road will be of advantage
to this District. We should not advocate
its construction if we did not believe it would
aid the travel and business of our citizens.
But a0iD it not also be Of advantage to Balti-
more? Is not Baltimore closely and insep-
arabIy connected with Washington?
Both these questions the Argus must see
the force of at once; and both of them it
must answer in the affirmative.
Why, then, oppose this new public i'm
provement of the good State of Maryland
