THE LABOR OF EMIGRANTs.

Each days reflection impresses us more deeply
with the importance Of warning the unemployed
Lsborers now coDgregated in this and other sea-
porte against the delusion to which they are ex-
posed BY the glowing accounts so frequently
transmitted from this or that inland town of the
desrth of Labor in tina! vicinity and the high
wages proffered to Laborers. We charge no m
territorial deceit Jet il il no more than fair to
ask attic ntion to the fact that these representa-
lions ere generally put forth by persons wishing
to hire workmen, or to let houses, or sell lands
and who have q strong interest in securing and
inducing tide of emigration thither. We travel
pretty extensively throughout the Free States,
Iowa excepted, and We tel the emigran.s the
simple truth in assuring them that there is not 8
county between tie St. John and the Mississippi
in which SD average hundred Of them could this
day find employm ent on farms at $3.50 per year
wages, In addition TO good board, washing and
lodging. We say this with entire confidence,
because We know By experience that the greater
number of the able bodied men who have recently
inmisrsted from Europe cannot earn 80 much as
SI50a year on farms, under medium management
Let hundred farmers whose lands now lie
usiply in grs" hire each four average imui-
grants on the terms above indicated, trade of
their cows or sheep for working cattle, and IN
dertake to grow Grain and Vegetables for market,
and three-fourths Of them will be poorer at the
years end than they were at the beginning. And
yet this very increase of tlage 10 urgently needed
and must be secured, giving the laborer fair
proportion Of the proceeds. He were unwise to
seek more.
The prevalent error We combat origir ates in
this way: A in Illinois, Wisconsin or Canada,
wants additional Labor, anf he naturally looks
TO the seaboard in quest Of it. He asks this or
that stout Yankee his price for years work, and
10 required to pay slate SIS per month for the
round year This 10 thinks too high; % be in

THE HACKMKN's DEMAND.

There has long been an Ordinance Of our City

until uow, when Mayor Wood directs that it

We most earnestly trust that the prayer Of this

Messrs. Booth & Ryecrsft, Of Milwaukee have
been released from prison BY order of the Supreme
Court of Wisconsin, on the ground that the Flu
aitiye law is unconstitutional. On this process
they are thus no longer liable TO 60 to jail, bat
their fines will, no doubt, have to be paid. For
this purpose, the contributions raised in various
psrts Of the country will come into requsition.
We are confident that not cent of the sum will
have to be met by the martyrs themselves.
A correspondent suggests that plan should be
devised to meet future cases Of the kind. This
should be done. The men who suffer in the Cause
Of Freedom should be made to know tina. the

this sort is that of Rush r. Sloane of Ssndusky,

and it WILL of coursr, move up the river to invade
