THE LABOR PROBLEM.

The most important matter to be decided in our
day. is that which involves the right adjustment of
the relation of labor to capital and perhaps the
recent demonstrations in New York, II they sub
serve mo other end" may shed some light upon
this Uerata Questi0" Those who see in these move
ments but a struggle for bread, induced by an &C
cidenta abnormal condition of the working classes,
know little of their extent or significance. They
have noticed merely the ripples which agitate the
surface, without descending below to discover the
volcanic fire, deeply imbedded, whose imprisoned
powers await only the contact of occasion, to
upheave the very foundation of the great ocean,
and scatter like stranded wrecks the social and po-
litical structures which seem now to float safely
upon its bosom. The hunger meetings at the North
owe their immediate origin to the money panic,
which has thrown immense numbers out of employ
ment but the evil of which this distress is but one
phase, arises from a false system, under which
poverty and labor pay all the taxes, and capital en-
joys all the profits 1t is true, that free SUFFRAGE is
allowed, but the practical operations of the North
ern plans disfranchise the Rborer, and contradict
the fundamental principle of republican institu-
uOns that the burthen5 of the Government shall
be equally and equitably distributed. 1t is true
that nominally, impOsts are laid upon property
but they do lessen the income of the properly
holder; for by an increase of rents and dlminu-
ton Of wages, the payment of them is transferred
to the lessee and the operative.
Whenever, from commercial disturbances, labor
ceases 10 be prohteole at any prlce, 1t finds no
sympathy from capital which ought to share in the
common. calamity, but is discarded, and its help
less children turned out TO starve or steal Is
it wonderful that agrsrianism, in its most obnoxious
form, should threaten a community in which such
injustice and inequality exists Are not riots and
tumults bounded on by demagogues and political
proAigates of every description, with the ominOus
motto of bread or blood, the legitimate result of
such state of things? Must not the great mass of
learn that the nriyilPpe of voting is
purchased by the privilege of starving; that
20 free and equal mean the freedom to die Of hun
ger, unmolesed by charity, and equality in the lot
of ground allowed in the potters' field How
much better is the condition of the Southern slave
who fares as well when his master is embarrassed
with debt, when commercial revulsions spread gem
ersl bankruptcy, as when everything is successful
and prosperous? Labor is capital in the South,
and therefore, while paying the cost ofgovernment
it il as carefully and tenderly guarded the hu-
mAnity and the aysrics Of its owners can induce.

THE New FRENCH SLAVE TRADE.-The Pic1yuHe,
speaking Of the French Governmental plan Of send
ing negro slaves from Africa, under the name of
semigrant laborers," to the colonies of France in
the West Indies, has the following paragraph:
Practically, it is acknowledgment extorted
from the experience of mankind, and the wants and
necessities of civilization, that the enforced labor
of blacks in Southern atitudes is the law Of labor
which can not be dispensed with, without discard
ing all the economies Of production, and checking
the comforts and the progress of both races. The
urgency with which supplies of new labor are sought
for for the West Indies, and the articles with which
the real character of slavery under new form Is
sought to be introduced, a substitute for slavery
that was stupidity abolished, are cautions against
cmancipationism, which are making themselves COM
pretended abroad, and not fail TO have sensi-
BILE effect upon the rejecting portion Of the anti
slavery people at hoIe-that portion with whom
aboliuonism Is 4 theory of duty to be studied not
sentiment to be INDUCED, slogan OF party, to be
used for purposes Of faction"

THE PASS OF DEATH.

|
THE PASS OF DEATH.
It was 6 narrow pass,
Watered with human tears,
For Death had kept the outer gale
Almost six thousand years.
And the ceaseless tread of worlds feet,
Was ever in my ears
Throngiug, jOstling, hurrying by,
AS if they were only born to die.
A stately king drew near,
This narrow pass to tread,
Around him hung gorgeous robe,
And a crown was on his head;
But Death, with look of whitening scOrn,
Arrested him and said,
SIN humber dress must the king draw near,
For the crown and thepurple are useles heer."
Next came man of wealth,
And his eye was proud and bold,
And he bore in his hand a lengthy scroll,
Telling of sums untold;
But Death, who careth not for rank,
Careth as little for gold
"Here that scroll cannot allow,
For the gold of the richest is powerless now"
Another followed fast,
And hook was in his hand,
Filled with the flashes of burning thought
That are known in many land;
But the child of genius quailed to hear
Deaths pitiless demand
''Here that book cannot enter with thee
For the bright fash ofgeniusis nothing tome"
Next came amaiden fair,
With that eye so deeply bright,
That stirs within you strange sweet care,
Should you meet on a summer night;
But Death, ere the gentle maid pass through,
Snatched away its light
''Beautyi power in the world" he saith,
"But what can it do in the Pass of Desth?"
A youth of sickly mien
Followed in thoughtful mood,
Whose heart was filed with love to God
And the early brotherhood;
Death felt he could not quench the heart
That lived for others good
al own" cried he, "the power of love,
! must let it pass to the realms above"

LATE FROM THE UTAH EXPEDITION--Aletter to the

that Col. Cooks command was $50 miles west OF
Fort Laramie, November Sd. Thus far the travel

1t is rumOred that Brigham YOungs intention is
TO fight the troops this winter, as it will afford G
best chance for an equal conflict; and then before

spring destroy all the Norman possessions IN Utah,
and proceed to some other country.

An UNIUcKY SrABLE.-Porter's London corresaa

his name or the books Of captain who has lost a
ship; like Jack, lam a wee bit superstitious, and
neither like single maybe nor a stable where
horses have died. To those very stables, some five
and twenty years ago, one of the finest strings Of
horses that ever went upon a gallop, walked
proudly through the long streets of Stockbridge
in them nearly twenty were, but a few short years
afterwards shot, and buried on the fields adjoining,
that the maligant disorder of which they died
might not further spread its cOntagiOn. That ILL
ness was, of course, quite different in its nature
from the inflammation which hurried the lives of
Lecompte and Prior to their termination; still,
never pass those buildings, in my pilgrimages in
Hampshire, but the memory of that ruinous sacri-
fee haunts me, and superstition whispers Don't
