not with prescription, not with force. We
know 1t is much easier thus to speak than
thus to act. We know how prone men
are TO be guided by prejudice, how apt
they are TO mistake intolerance for JUS
tice, how great distinction the mind
makes between acts when committed by
ourselves than when committed against
ourselves. 1t, indeed, almost seems as
If II were the nature of man to be big
oted, to be intoerant. 1t is not, howev-
er, his nature, but his ignorance. The
history of inventions, discoveries, and
reforms, shows this. But each day we
are coming more and more to appreci-
ate the fact that the world is but in the
infancy of its knowledge, and we keep
looking forward for the development of
new truths in philosophy and in science,
in mechanics and in ethics. We are be-
coming wiser, and strange things do not
slartle us as formerly; strange doctrines
receive closer examination from us, a
more careful sitting, before we decide up
on them. And there is no doubt that the
time will soon come when men will be so
freed from the thraldom of ignorance and
superstition, that they will deem no the
Dry too absurd for candid examination, no
subject too sacred for investigation
when there will be perfect freedom of
thought and of utterance. That time is
not yet, and we have but little right to
expect that new doctrine should be re.
ceiyed without ridicule, and its advocates
without contumely Until the world
further progresses in intelligence, men
will cenounce those who differ with them.
NoW the orthodox denounce the hetero.
dox, the progressives the conservatives,
the believers the sceptics, reformers the
anti-reformers and vet each are loud in
accusations Of bigotry and illiberality
against the others. This was exemplified
to a considerable extent at the conven-
ton under consideration, and constitutes
a strong objection against its partici-
pants. Every one Of these reformers''
made the illiberality, the intolerance, the
bigotry of other sects, parties, and per-
sons against himself and his coadi
the burden of his complaint. And yet
it seemed to us that the same spirit crop
ped out very prominently in all their or
atorical efforts. 1t was not all discus
sion Of doctrine, Of belief, but too often
harsh judgment of individuals and Of
classes. This precisely what they them
selves were complaining of, and did not
show in them much care for consistency
1t looked much more like spirit of re-
elimination much more like the Old
Testament doctrine of can eye for an
eye, and tooth for TOOTH" which they
SO much denounced, than the New Tes
lament spirit of turn the other cheek, "
and " do as you would be done bv,''
which they SO freely endorsed. They
are not yet up to the standard by which
they guage others, and we are sorry for
il; but we hope they and the rest of the
world are fast progressing to it.

Something for LabOring Men.

ES" We invite the attention Of me-
chanics and laboring men to the follow
ing from a speech of HEascHEL V. JOHN
SON, made on the 18th of September,
1856, at Philadelphia. 1t is not new
doctrine for Democrats to preach, but we
doubt if it is palatable one for Northern
laborers. Remember that this comes
from the Douglas Democracy's candidate
for Vice President. Read it, and Their
ask yourself whether you are ready tc
exat the man who proclaims it.
"We believe capital should own labor i:
there any doubt that there must be laborine
class everywhere In all countries and under
every form of social organization there must bt
laborlng class--a class of men who get thei
living by the sweat of their brow and thei
there must be another class that controls and di
reefs the capital of the country"

And 40 down the page, the enumeration beginning at

infreQuent TO hear men who have been strongly OPP
posed to the Republicans say, "Wel Lincoln has
'chance to make himself very popular If he admin
listers the Government, as his friends claim that he
"will on the same principles that Henry Clay would

eral tone of feeling here is one of entire and fair
the schemes of the Fire Eaters That the Adninistr
ton of Mr.. Lincoln will be more favorable to every

of any of his antagonists in the canvass, cannot be
doubted. II will become apparent that Northern
Democrats have made their capital for long time
character of the Republican party and that their last
victory on that tack has been achieved. The positive
truth win appear that there is disposition in the
party to interfere with Slavery in the States for there
II no constitutional mode Of doing it. But it will also
appear that the Republican Territorial policy of Free

pressed and an end put to piratical flhbusteing on
neighboring peaceful nations. D.B.
