CoRREsP0NDENTs.-Ae communication with
the caption To the Working Men, and with the
signature 4" A Working Man. has been pre-
sented to US for publication. He is somewhat
down on Alr. HISE, and has no faith in ballot
boxes But as far as we are able to see, he has
not himself offered any remedy-but here IS his
letter:
Allow me 10 say . few words in behalf Of the
working men. We have attended several meet
iDgs called 20 consider their grievances, and get
at a remedy if possible. Thus far, no remedy
to my mind has been offered. All that has been
accomplished thus far, is that each speaker has
got up and found fault with the present system
of government and society. Now, this finding
fault is nothing new; everybody knows society
is not what II ought to be. / believe We ought
to find fault but 10 find fault without offering
a remedy is useless We have listened for two
evenings to the great land reformer, Mr.. HISE.
Il appears to me that his position is absurd
He starts with the declaration that GoD intend
ed that society should not be organized as it is,
aud that government land should be free Now
what are we TO Understand by this Simply
that God Old not intend what Mr. HISE says lie
did. Or that Mr.. HINE does not understand
what he il taking about. Mr. HISE offers q

mind this also is absurd. Whyi Because the
ballot box has seen Its day 1t has been cor
rupted everybody knows that ballot box stuff
/ fng has become a science among the political
wire pullers therefore the working men viii
never get redress in that quarter. Furthermore,
if the declaration is true, that all men are Gre
ated equal and endowed by their creator with
certain Inalienable rights, what right has any
man or set of men to vote those rights TO me,
or from mel The thing is absurd throughout
| Let Us look for 4 moment at the society that
/ few of the working men are organizIng-they
/ say for the benefit Of the working men. Il Is
proposed u draw GPa constitution, by laws, DC,
hire room, tax the members so much week
/ or month"; and so on. The working men want
no such society; because if any man thinks he
! has remedy, ne can let the working men and
/ the world know il without any such society
Such societies have been tried time after time,
and failed Well, what is 10 be done! Some
thing must be done Very true and something
/ will be done. The fact Is, mankind do not IN
derstand the law controlling the progress Of
| government and society; they arc governed by
the same law that governs sll science The
time has now auiyed when 4 better under
/ standing and application of this law will lie
/ mGde,-just the same as the time arrived in
/ Newton's day for better understanding Of the
| law governing the planetary system, because
the law is the same, and its application is not to
be made with the ballot box or by Working
Mems Societies.
Another correspondent says he has Travelled
over the length and breadth ofthe United States;
has visited all the principal cities of Europe
has seen the glories ard wonders of Paris, and
the fogs and miseries Of LondOn-has stood on
the Rialto and in the shadow of the Kremlin-
has looked with awe upon the mighty ruins Of
Rome, pregnant with memories Of the mighty
nation AMI men OF the Imperial Republic,-and
has visited the gorgeous cities of the East In
dies but in all his travels has never come
across such a village as Cleveland! We should
like to give cur readers more Of this letter, but
conclude the above is about as much as can
safely be published at one time
