ImPortance of Recreation.

In thee eGsess struggle after dollars and dimes, it
s too common fault with that portion Of our coun-
trymen who dwell in the crowded cities TO forget
the great importance Of recreation. They appear
only TO remember that ''time is money" and conse.
quently reason themselves into he belief that every
hour spent otherwise is much lost, never TO be
regsined. In the meantime amid the cares of a
business ever present to them amid the eternal
calculations Of profit and loss, the pencllings Of
thought trace their wandering their foreheads
and the heart grows old and the mind weary and
sluggish.
Whilst the body is able to carry around its bur-
den, while the eye-sight doss not grow dim, while
nature does not by actual demand, call for re-
lease from daily cares, those in our midst who are
engaged in active business, deem il unnecessary to
thar themselves away and recruit the failing frame
beat lie suffering from imperceptible but aud
untiring raVsges that are making upon IT,
The mind needs relief How many do we find Of
those in our city, who, having for years devoted
every moment and blended every energy to the &C
emulation of wealth, have, when at last enabled
70 retire, found the change Of habit great that
disease ensued, and the grave found in them a
ready victim. We could mention many such cases
numbering among them some of the most enter
prising merchants and manufacturers. The mind
needs rest. The ceRseless vision of towering walls
and thronged streets and pent up avenues, may do
for the time, but the nature OF man needs change,
and that too sufficiently often to divert it from the
channel that it is continually travelling without rest
or even diversion. IL seeks such food it can
find amid green fields under the lofty arches of the
wild wood, by the side of the ripping stream or
the mountain crag, 10 the grassy dell, by the how-
ing river, anywhere, but amid heaps Of Inercban-
disc, and the chatter OF machinery.
Those who so indulge find their reward in hun
bred different ways In the renewed spirit ia the
renovated frame, in the relieved mind, and in the
increased energy with which they resnter the bat
Gle OF commerce. Such considerations should have
weight with our citizens; and be taken advantages
Of the fullest extent our beautiful country will
allow.

attributes the rapid growth of the French and Ger
man manufactures to the LOU prices which prevail
in those countries. Low prices of Whatl Not Of
the raw material, for cotton lie cheaper here than
with them whilst mineral resources are equal to
those Of any nation upon earth. 1t is, therefore,
to the slow prices" of labor and of the means of
Rvng, that the Pennsylvania Senator has reference
to, and which, be says would "cOver our country
With blessings and benefits"
II becomes an important object, then, to ascer-
tain Wha. are the prices Of labor in these hard
money countries, and hon the aboring classes live,
in order that we may he able TO judge correctly
whether this momentous change proposed by the
administration leaders win be for the best. If the
people of the United States, after clearly under
standing the condition Of sffairs in France, Ger
many, Holland, and other hard-noney countries,
with respect to the currency, the price of labor
and the habits Of living shall think proper to ''im
tate them,n according to the advice of Col. Ben
ton, very well. All we ask is, that they be fairly
and honestly informed as to these facts before they
agree 70 the change; and to this end we spread
before them the following table showing the rates
OF wages in various countries. There can be no
mistake about its entire accuracy, il was origin
ally complied from authentic documents furnished
by the several consus residing in the respective
districts named. We may add that even in these
hot party times, though il was read before the
Senate of the United States, and has been extern
sivey published in the newspapers of the day, not
an item of il has been pronounced incorrect or 90
much as doubted.

The Germans in RoStOn.

We copy the following extract from the
Boston Ledger, of the Sd instant:
The Germans of Boston held meeting last
evening at the Freeman's Hall, $50 Washing
ton street, to express their views relative to
the recent assault on Hon. Charles Sumner and
the outragesi in Kansas. DR.. W. Wesselhoeft
presided, and Messrs. Babo, DR.. Schultz and
Manner acted as secretaries. Resolutions
were passed in German, oondemDng in ener-
getic and decided terms the assault on Mr..
sumner; and also upon the Administration for
its course in relation to Kansas affairs. A
pledge is given to support only such men as
are in favor of freedom of speech, justice and
right. There were some 800 present at the
meeting, which was very enthusiastic.

From the Cincinnati Gazette.
Democratic Ignorance.

The Democratic committee on resolutions
and platform, reported long string of resolu-
tons, and among them find the following;
10. That the liberal principles embodied by
Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence,
and sanctioned in the Constitution, which
makes ours the land of liberty, and the asy lum
of the oppressed of every nation, have ever
been cardinal principles in the Democratic
faith, and every attempt to abridge the privil-
ege of becoming citizens aud the owners of
soil among us, ought to be resisted with the
same spirit which swept the alien and sedition
laws from our statute books"
Did not this committee know that the sal
len and sedition" law died by the limitation Civ
en- them. when adopted-snd did not this COM
mittee also know that these laws run out by
their own limitation, during the first term of
Jefferson's administration, and that lie neDer
asked Congress to repeal thenl There are
JoOLs or kHdUes somewhere.

BS- The Union and american, pushed for
something to help its desperate canse, has
deliberately entered upon the Sysiphic task
of attempting to create the impression that
the Patriot sympathizes, in some way, with
Black Republicanism. Our neighbor, i'm
AGNES himself, we suppose, man of more
than human strength, and therefore has a
decided penobant for trying to accomplish
that which is impossible. His labors in this
behalf may be beneficial to himself, as an
individual, from the exercise they afford
him, but we doubt whether they impress
any one with very exalted opinion of his
logical acumen. If he has convinced a
single individual that we regard Black Re
publicanism with the least favor, then there
is one blockhead more in the world than we
thought there was.

The Cincinnati Convention Platform re-
iterates the following pledge taken from the
Platform of 1852:
'That the Democratic Party will resist ali
attempts at renewing, in Congress or out of it,
the agitation of the Slavery question, under
whatever shape or color the attempt may be
made"
In view of the gross violation of this
pledge, and the agitation of the subject of
slavery which, for two years past, has been
the chief employment of the Democratic
party, the reiteration of it (the pledge by
the Cincinnati Convention indicates very
contemptuous opinion of the intelligence of

The Cincinnati Convention has patched
up truce between the lizards" and
"Softs" of New York and recognized both
fractions as true democrats This was done
although the free soil Softs have not re-
nounced their anti-slaVery doctrines. To
give our readers an idea of the imposition
which has been practiced, We copy the fol-
lowing brief article from Soft newspa
per:
From the Syracuse N Y Standard (sOft SHELF June I'd.
The Democratic Convention.
The Democratic National Convention to nomin.
ate candidates for President and Vice President Of
the United States assemblies at Cincinnati to- day,
and the eyes of the whole nation turned in that
direction, awaiting the result with interest
We confess to no little degree of solictude in re-
lation to the action of this body. The State of New
York sends two sets of delegates, and, although
there is no question to which set is regular and
entitled by party ussges to represent New York in
the Convention there i5 nevertheless some doubt
which delegation will be admitted The politicians
of other States are not Oilnu TO the sentiments OF
the Radical Democracy of New York, or the origin
and history of the unfortunate troubles that have d
vided sheparty into the lizards" and 'SOfts."
1t is well understood throughout the Union that
the honest sentiments of the Radical (Soft) Democ.
racy of this State is fired hostility to tie extension Of
Slavery aud while they hold to the doctrine of
State Rights, in the most emphatic sense, they at
the same time honestly beieVeit to be the duty OF
the General Government to use all its powers and
efforts to extend Freedom instead of Slavery over
all its Territories. In word, they regard Freedom
as the fe-giving principle of our National Govern.
ment, and believe the confederation of States was
made for the benefit of Freemen instead OF Slave
OGIleTs.
The utteranee of these sentiments may sometimes
BE stiRed By packed Conventions and the schemes Of
selfish and corrupt politicians but the iOiiI
eventually make themselves heard and teA OF this
the politicians of other States well aware, and
the action of the National Convention upon the
question of admitting the delegates from New York
may therefore be regarded as an endorsement Of
the we'll understood principles OF the section of the
party represented.
