"He that hath trade" says Franklin,
+hath an estate; and he that hath calling,
hath a place of profit and honor. A plowman
on his legs is higher than gentleman on
his knees" All! more; we might add that
plowman on his legs is higher than
gentleman at his ease. For by this we
would imply that although man might be
what is usually termed a gentleman, and in
the possession of wealth, yet if that man
lives altogether at his ease, without any
care about his own mental advancement,
or the advancement and improvement in the
condition of his fellow beings, though he
may be possessed of all the luxuries of life
that wealth can bestow, yet if he use not
the means that are given him GctiUelu to
promote and elevate the condition of his
race he is, in the face Of light and truth.
far beneath him who labors and tolls for his
daily bread. Inactivity invariably produ-
ces degeneracy of soul and corruption of
morals, while he who is daily engaged in
honest labor, has on his mind the care and
welfare of himself and those under him
whom heaven may have placed within his
charge. Thus life with the laborer becomes
sweetened, he feels that his labors are not
IN vain, and that from every stroke of his
manly arm he is to derive per centage that
will add infinitely to the comfort and ham,
piness of the loved ones at home. He has
no time in which to plot mischief. and under
the influence of responsible labor he has no
other desire than to see all happy and COM
Portable around him.
Labor, honest labor. is right and beauti-
ful. Activity is the ruling element of life
and It's highest relish. Luxuries and con-
quests are the result of labor-we can i'm
aglne nothing without it. The noblest man
of earth is he who puts his hand cheerfully
ana proudly to honest labor. Labor is a
business and ordinance of God. Suspend
labor, and where is the glory and pomp of
earth-the fruit fields and palaces and fash
Ionlngs of matter for which men strive and
war; Let the labor-scofer look around
him, look at himself, and learn what are the
trophies of toll. From the crown of his
head, to the sole Of his foot, unless he is
made as the beat, he is the debtor and slave
OF toll The labor which he scorns has
tracked him into the statue and appearance
OF man. Where gets he his garments and
equlpage? Let labor answer. Labor makes
music In the naine and the furrow. and at
the forge
Is this not true, brother miner? Have
you not often experienced the thrillings of
a noble impulse steal along your nerves as
you thought Of the good that your labors
might yet accomplish, of the many hearts
that you might yet gladden.? Then labor
on; the sweat that pours from your dripping
brows is but the color" of the mapliness
that dwells within you, Industriously fol-
low up that lead, and the gold is surely
yours. Then be economical, as well as in
dustrious; save the honest earnings of your
daily toll; be sober and mindful of the obli-
cations that rest upon you, and thereby
you not only secure for yourselves happi-
ness, but you will also prove to the world
what you really are, natures true noblemen.

WASHINGTON, Aup. 3

In consequence OF the Presidents MESA ge
concerning our relations with Spaiu, the
committee on foreign relutions~will meet to-
morrow morning, and Immediately report a
bill placing sum of money at the Presi-
dents disposal. II is understood now that
the sum will be ten millions, but perhaps il
will be less. As i: is too late to pass the
bill regularly under the rules, it will proba-
bly, be attached to the army appropriation
bill ASIAN amendment, and so carried.
The reciprocity treaty was considered by
the Senate to-day. in Committee Of the
Whole.
Mr.. Fesse nden made strong speech in
It's favor. There were only nine votes
against it. il wac reported TO The Senate
and would have been ratified Immediately
but its opponents objected TO final vote t..
day, which, under the rules, throws it over
until tomorrow. when it certainly will. be
ratified
A long list of array nominations and many
postmasters were confirmed to-day.
The friends of the Collins Line in the
Senate propose to reduce the appropriations
to the original standard, and give them the
postage on the letters carried besides. Lib
erality never could be more appropriately
bestowed.

PROPHECY AND HIsroRV.-Ih 1919 the
Hon. w. J. Brown, now leading slavery
extensioniSt of this State, published a card
in the Washington Union, from which. we
clip the following:
"One thing our Southern Democratic
friends should rene mber-that in the NORTH
the sentiment against the extension OF Sla-
very is almost universal; and If We are re-
CURED TO become the advocates of its extern
sion, our places will be filled with Wings"
We are not prepared to say that what " as
prophecy in lS49, will become hiaoryin 1854
But this We may safely venture to say, wheth.
er those Congressman from Indiana who by
their votes have favored slavery extension,
shall be succeeded by Wings. or not, the
prospect is very fair, that the places which
now know them will shortly know them no
more forever. They have been weighed in
the balance, and found wanting.

Smith MILLER, ESQ OF INDlANA.-We
are indebted to Jesse ID. Bright. Esq, for the
highly acceptable Information that Smith
Miller, ESQ, one Of the sterling Democratic
representatives. in Congress from Indiana
has been nominated for reelection by the
Democracy of his district. This is the double
triumph of faithful public servant. Smith
Miller was among the 6rst to take ground in
favor of the Nebraska bill, and, BY the rule
which prevailed in his district, he might have
been asked to give way to another Democrat;
but the district convention overlooked this
rule, and placed him again before the people
[ Washington Union.
The District Convention that nominated
Smith Miller, did overlook very important
rule-but it, nevertheless followed a long
established Democratic custom in this Dis.
trict--which is to nominate very ordinary
men for Congress. The convention over.
looked all rules OF decency and PROPHECY in
its conduct throughout, and The des of Oc-
tober will show that it Overlooked" the
wishes of The people OF the district, in nomi-
mating Smith Miller.
The PEOPLE are about to take the matter
in their own hands-they mean to be repre-
sented in the next Congressional if they do
not return man who is so "highly accepts.
Bile" to Pierce g. Co. as Smith Miller, they
will send a man there who is at least accept
bic 10 themselves, and competent to discharge
the duties of the office and protect the inter
ests Of his constituents.
