A Champion of the Labor States
Unmasked.

A lady correspondent of the New York Tri-
: Jlnr writing from Washington, gives the fol-
lowing description ofthe princely style in which
Senator Seward, the self-appointed champion
of Northern Labor lives at the Capitol OF the
Nation;
At o'clock we were set down at his resi-
dence; found a number OF the guests already
assembled-an others arriving not long after
A formal presentation to the gentleman who is
to be your escort to the dining room takes place;
yon have pleasant chit chat in the drawing
room, during which time, according to etiquette
you remain standing; you are then led into the
dining room; a waiter in white gloves meets
you at the door, designates your seat, where
you find your name attached to the napkin pla
ced at your plate The host then mentions the
names OF his guests to see that they are prop.
erly seated Turtle soup is then served; the
other courses in regular order, seventeen in
number-,he plates being changed for each
course; wine glasses, five in number, of differ
ent size, form and color, indicating the different
! wines to be served. The meats are carved by
/ the head cook, in separate apartment and, be-
ing placed in silver dishes, are handed to you
| by the waiter in white gloves always at your
left hand.
Upon entering the dining room you perceive
the table laid with perfect taste, containing the
con iecionerv and conserves for the grand finale;
beautiful pyramids oficed fruits, oranges, French
kisses, etc all beautiful to look at, but danger
Gus unless your digestive organs are stronger
than mine.
/ You are conducted back TO the parlor in the
same manner that you entered-when coffee is
served and liquors Of different kinds short
| time is spent in conversation, when the guests
one by one begin to leave. ...-.

dy laborers; and the struggling mechanics Of
the North, who have lately read Mr.. Stewards
great speech on the labor of the North and the
capital of the South, must have peruSed this in
formation in the Tribune, with mingled feelings
of astonishment and disgust. How different
from the simple republican style Of franklin
Washington, a Clay, Webster, a Wright, or
Dickinson is all this princely spendor and
courtly form1lity! Can it be possible that any
man who INDUCES in such ostentatious display
can be friend of the poor white man? Or
even Of the slave? How much substantial re-
lief would the unnecessary cost Of one of these
dinner parties afford to the struggling shoema-
kers of a>sachusetts-the freedom Of how
many slaves would it purchase? The cost Of
Mr. Stewards living at Washington is estima
ted at $50, 900 year! Almost equal to the in
come of Prince Albert, the husband Of the
"Qneen of England" lie has recently return.
ed from friendly visit to the crowned heads
Of Europe, and must be trying to see how near
ly he can initiate their courtlv spIendor, Is it
safe to place the destines Of this great Republic
in the hands of such a man?
In his late speech Mr.. Seward laid down the
great principles Of his party-the fundamental
antagonism of the North and the Southland
his intimate friend and adviser, Mr.. Morrill,, OF
Maine, has introduced bill in Congress, which
gives an insight into the details OF his plan
1t is bill 20 increase the tarff--to put money
into the pockets Of the New England manuac-
turers, and take it out of the pocket Of the
Northern farmer and the Southern planter
This bill provides for an increase OF the tariff,
