THE CONDITION OF TIE ENGLISH
LABORER.

According to some of the British journals the con.
dition of large portion of the English laborers 10
truly deplorabls. They can, with great difficulty,
earn the means Of subsistence while their social com.
forts are few and far between Various efforts have
been made to produce change, but thus far with
little success. The Northern Times" Published at
Liverpool, takes up the subject in dets aud in the
course of sympathetic article, says:
ave boast of our adherence of negro slavery;
va romance, morslise, and We actusliy weep over
the tales OF African suffering, but we cannot shord
passing thought for the millions OF white slaves who
constitute the masses OF our laboring population
What are these in reality but mere animated ms-
chimes i-employed only because it has not been pos
sible as YET TO discover ohers to tupersede them
As their employment has been the result OF necessity
and not Of choice, the great object Of the employer
has been to tax the physical endurance of the en-
pioyed 10 it's utmost limits, and reduce the rate OF
uneration TO the lowest minimum Unfortunately,
the fierce competition Of trade, and the unusually
oyercrowded etale of the labor market, combined to
render this state of things apparently inevitable.
This is, indeed lamentsble picture. But the case
is similar, we fear to very considersbe extent, in
other portions OF The world, and in this country
There are few among the lsboring glasses, however
economical and industrious, who even secure more

THE PROSPECT IN NEW YORK.

The New York Day Book" discusses the proba
bls event Of the contest in New York. in it, usual
spirit of candor. The calculation seems to be that
the presence of an "Ameroan candidate In the field.
and the possibility that Gerrt, Smith may draw of
from 90 900 to 10000 Republican votes, offer fine
promise for the euccess of Judge Parker. But the
same paper appreheuds close contest, requiring the
awakened enthusiasm Of the Democratic party
throughout the State, skilful management Of the
campaign, and especially general and thorough ez-
planatory vindicaton of the Dred Scott decision by
the Democratic press.
There can be no doubt that the contest will lie be.
tween the Democratic and Republican candidates,
and that both the other tickets will mainly operate
to weaken the Republican vote. Yet the DAY Book
refers to counter vaiog Disadvantages to our par
ty by no means inconsiderable. 1t Is very possible
that the openly avowed abolitionism Of Mr.. Smith
may reduce his adherents to very small quota,
WHILE on the other hand, the partial disguise In which
the Republicans have succeeded In envelopiDg their
fanscsl tendencies, will doubtless secure for the
ticket many honest voters who are msinformed as to
the rea. issues nsomuch ss to be Induced TO end as
they have done heretofore, an ignorant support to
the dangerous sentiments which they sincerely
condemn. The Lecompton question, too, which
seems TO have been kept alive by certain proecriptive
Journals only for the purpose of embitterlng honest
differences on past issue, of dstrscting the coun-
ellis of the party aud alternating number of its
supporters, will also afford serious dimi-
mutton OF Democratic strength. 1t is true. in
deed, that the ablest and most influential Of
the Democratic press OF New York have, from
the first, set noble example of cosciliation and
orbsarance, but this example has not been followed
up as we wished, by all their minor cotemporaries.-
Besides the outside pressure of prescription manifest
ed by the presses and politicians of other Ststes has
operated to ipure the efficiency Of the party In New
York. as elsewhere. To this latter source ia to be at
tributed another threatening evil instancsd by the
DAY Book" that Of an unusual apathy said to be
exhibited by the msss of the Democratic party of the
State in the present campaign. Unless harmony pre-
vails enthusiasm cannot exist. The enemy lie ire
trievably divided. Let own forces consolidate
speedily In entire confidence and harmony. This is
tbe only cure guaranty Of success
