~ The laboring men of Columbus talk Of
eccting John Grcincr, editor of the Columbus
G1seite, TO u scat in the next Legislature Our
good friend Hamilton, OF the Marysvile Tribune,
does not approve of the policy and thinks it will
engender bad spirit. What if it does Is it not
time for laborng men to begin 10 look after their
interests? Does friend Hamilton not know that the
theory of all writers on political economy, and the
practice of all legislators, has been to get the
most labor for the least pay until honest industry
affords but small inducements for the ambitious
young man? Is it not notorious fact that we
have filled eur legislative halls with branless limbs
of the law and vagabond politicians until our
statute book has become little less than a mser-
cradle jargon Of ridiculous absurdities affording
every advantage TO capital and capitalists What
harm will result from the election of men to the
legislature who are pledged to the interests of the
laborng peopleH We don't care what man
does, so he works no injury to society and sup
ports himself; but We do protest against making
offices the common place of resort for lazy vaga-
bonds and upstart numbsculls. We shall ever
raise our hat and voice in favor of the honest
sons of toll, and support the elevation of labor
and laboring men.

Coy, Chnse on the uninn.

We make the following extract from tho speech
! of Gov. Chase at the recent Railroad banquet in
Baltimore
do not think it accessory Tor nc TO say much
about the Young West, when you have all around
you such specimens of that Young West, whom
yOu have drawn from their homes to your embrace.
You have brought us from the Father of Waters,
as well as from our own beautiful Ohio We have
oboycd your summons, and have come here at your
bidding, and we find that the warmth of the hearts
OF Baltimore is only surpassed by the warmth of
her sun We greet you with grateful hearts, and
It IS our sincare and earnest hope that the city of
Baltimore which welcomes us here, and which has
achieved for herself so splendid n destiny, may go
on from strength to strength and from conquest to
conquest until she has realized the brightest dreams
which you, Mr.. President in your care for her in
terests ventured years ago to indulge. Beyond
that we eau hope for nothing more. We of the
West come to you with warm hearts we come
here to accept your hospitalites, aud we pledge
you that we with Twill ever stand by the right
and by the just and by the union of our land
lCheers and applause.
There are no disloyal hearts in the West, in that
great land where we live from the mountains
which from your own State looks down upon you
to that far off range which looks down upon
the tranquil Mississippi there beats no heart and
trust never will beat heart disloya to this glo
rious Union. Renewed appause.l We love the
Union, and in that love we do not mean to be out
Wanted by any one whatever Our Kentucky
nelghbors arc in the habit Of saying that they have
the fastest horses the heeest dogs, and the farest
women in the world We in Ohio are not quite
so much given to vaunting but we will put our Fl.
deity to the Union against theirs or any others
lCheers.

E1'~ The census Of Missouri develops some
facts that are interesting. 1t shows that, IN the
last five years. there has been an increase, in the
ten counties along the Iowa line, of 81 ,69l free
white citizens, while in the same COUNTESS du-
ring the same period there was only 23S increase
in the slave population. Mr.. Brown might
well say, in view Of these facts, that /" there is
already gradual emancipation act in force in
Missouri" The next year will tell story quite
as'signiicant of the future of Missouri as have
the past five years, judging from the rapid sales
of her lands. During the month of May alone,
there were sold, at the Warren land Office, 2i7,-
3j2 acres Of land. This rapid settlement Of tn,
state by northern free men will soon chang. the
character of Missouri.
