lead one to, who has rejecting mind,

not only so, but such is the proneness
Of men to follow in the beaten track,
and to look to others to perform what
becomes them to practice individually,
that only few can be found who so
appreciate individual efforts as to feel

and thus it will continue TO be. until
competent men and women, in their
individual capacity. will set to work
in good earnest, with patience and
perseverance, to train up their children
in the way they should go; for it has
long since been acknowledged as true,
that in order to purify a stream VIC

to reform the world, it is equally true

The Ground Tier Moved!
When Senator Hammond, of South
Carolina, declared that the laboring
classes are "the mud-sills of society,""
he simply gave contemptuous express

prevalent at the South. Lo5or in all
Slaveholding countries is necessarily
considered dishonorable, for it is there
performed by the most degraded class.
Hence, Mr.. Hammond considers that
all laborers, even the respectable and
intelligent mechanics OF the North, are
the "mud-sills" of society, the lower
strata in the social system, between
whom and lordly Democrats. like Mr..
Hammond, there is, in his opinion.
