- A NEW MOVE,

The Workingmen Of Cincinnati met
in convention on Saturday last, to nom
mate ticket from their own class, to
fill the various municipal Offices in that
city. .sg4 ga saa4 4-a
The Chairman, W. H. Williams, on
taking his seat, remarked
They were about organizing new
movement, and he wanted it pure and
free from all selfshness. They might
fail, but they all knew that it was in
the power Of the workingmen to be sue
cesstul. They do the voting and the
work of all political parties, and have
the power if they can exercise it. -.
He wanted the Convention to send
Office after men, and not take up Office
seekers. If they do that, the people
will rally around the ticket. Hespurned
the. idea that no party could succeed
without money, and referred to the early
history of the country to show the in
Auence Of laborers on all great political
movements. In conclusion, he urged
careful dellberation in the choice of
candidates. They should nominate
good, industrious and competent men
only. ....
Mr.. John c. Depuy was called on to
make a speech. lie said his place was
in the work shops, and not to make
speeches, yet he must express his inter-
est in the movement. .
All felt the necessity of doing some
thing, as the country had been brought
to the verge Of ruin by demagogues.-
He said the movement was purely a
workingmen's. No party had anything
to do with it, nor should they. It was
a movement of the workingmen to throw
off the political yoke. They could do
it if they were united, and he appealed
to them to nominate a pure ticket, and
unite, without distinction of party, to
elect it, %.
The Convention nominated a full
ticket.

ing difficulties. He will probably DELAY
its introduction until the Border Con-
ference demonstrate that they can af-
ford no means of compromise.
!. The President has informed some
Democratic Senators that he will veto
every law which Congress may pass
looking towards coercion. 1t is not
stated whether Mr.. Buchanan makes the
same distinction between coercion and
the enforcement of the laws as that set
forth in his annual message.
Mr.. Bingham will bring his bill be-
fore the, House for the collection of the
revenue at an early day It will no
doubt pass that body, but it hardly has
a majority in the Senate.
3 Mr.. Hooper, inthe House to day, gave
notice that he intended to introduce bill
for the admission of the Territory of New
Mexico into, the Union as State. This
will be in accordance with Mr. Adams
proposition, and should Congress admit
her, it will remove forever the source OF
agitation of Slavery in connection with
the Territories. But there is great
doubt if this proposition can pass at. this
session. Lsa zIzalt- sGs -a gas
In the House to-day, Mr.. Stanton OF
Ohio reported a. bill to provide for call
ing out the militia for. the execution of
the laws, the suppression of insurrec-
tion, and to repel the invasion. The
bill provides for supplying an omission
in the act Of 1925, and places the mill
tia more under the control of the Exec
utive. Several Southern members, es
well as Mr.. Sickles, fancied they saw
coercion in hesbill, and it was laid over
for further consideration, ea '..-
g AM1r. Gurley, of the House Committee
on Printing, reported, to day, in favor
of printing Ave thousand copies of the
Report ofsthe Special Committee on the
invasion of Washington. The report
forms quite an interesting chapter.
The Peace Conference did nothing to-
day, of any Importance Mr.. Clemens
ofthe Virginia Convention, telegraphs
urging an immediate settlement, to re-
sist the elements of secession, which are
growing in the Convention. S-47 ! -
/ The Inaugural of JEFF. Davis is re-
garded as very warlike, but it is not the
theme Of much comment, and seems to
excite no fears.
The bill for organizing Colorado Ter
ritory, passed the House this evening, as
it came from0the Senate. This gives the
people Of Pixies Peak Territorial GOV
ernment. -.
Mr.. Lincoln is expected here at 6 P,
NJ, on Saturday next, as per official an
nouncement. Miss Lane has invited
Mrs. Lincoln to the White House before
the Inauguration. 80

Gratis of i'll to The Republic. This will
open new era Of triumph TN the Dem
ocratic party of the North, and will re-
establish its lostsascendencyin in most of
the Free States:' And with that as
tendency, a new Union can be formed
in which the South will be made supreme.
Such IS the deliberate plot of the
conspirators! Will they be permitted
to carry it into effect? What is the
elective franchise worth, or what the
value of citizenship, if the minority
may break up the Government at will,
and sieze upon the offices by force and
frand, which the people refused to be-
stow upon them through the ballot box?
Yet this iszsthe secret=of the whole
movement. The Democratic party has
been beaten, and the leaders have con-
spired to retain their power, Or destroy
the country! And with this fact open
to the. vision of all persons not willfully
blind, some well meaning people, uni
ting with babling fools and cunning
knaves, are clamoring for "compromise!'
Alas! my country!

"The condition of the country, fellow
citizens, is an extraordinary one, and
fills the mind of every patriot with anx-
iety and solicitude. My intention is to
give this subject all the consideration
which [ possibly can before I speak

that when | do speak, I may be as
nearly right as possible. Loud and
continued applause.1 And when [ do
speak, fellow citizens, | hope TO say

the Constitution, contrary to the integ-
rity of the Union, OF which will in any
way prove inimicaI to the liberties of
the people r'to the peace of the whole

deavor to comprehend it more fully; and
here [ may remark that the Chicago
platform contains a plank upon this
subject which I think should be, re-
garded as law for the incoming Ad-
ministration. Immense demonstrations

II have long thought that if there be
any article of necessity which can be
produced at home with as little or nearly
the same labor as abroad, it would be
better to protect that article. Labor is
the true standard of value. If a bar Of
iron got out of the mines of England
and a bar of iron. taken from the mines
of Pennsylvania, be produced at the
same cost, it follows that if the English
bar be shipped from Manchester. tc
Pittsburgh, and the American bar from
Pittsburgh to Manchester, the cost O.
carriage is appreciably lost" Laugh

theological sentiments of their respective
congregations. This is the simple state
ment Of fact, and it is fact which the
"hard- shells of all denominations may
deplore; but we believe it will become
even more universally the case, until
whatever is good and true will become
the common property of all, and cold
fogies," as long as they slinger beyond
their age, may grumble at what they
cannot help, but will not be able to OBJ
struct the march of progress,
And, speaking of progress, reminds us
that there are at least quarter of a
hundred lusryers in-the State, to whom
nearly all the pulpits are open, and nei-
therzclergy nor people think the church
or the Sabbath desecrated by their min
istrations therein. Would it be pre-
sumption, in view of all this, to predict
the coming of time when men--and
women, too--who have worthy thoughts,
viii be allowed free expression of them
through all the avenues to the public
mind, even if those thoughts should be
on the duties andsdestinies Of man. and
even if the thinkers should never don
the gown and surplice? IF such rad
icalism be sin, we fear ace have sinned
some already, and may become totally
reprobate.5 But we look upon this
emancipation of thought as one of the
brightest promises of the future. And
although, as. in the taking down of au
old castle for the purpose of building a
nobler one, some dust and rubbish will
sod and obstruct the builders for awhile,
yet the glory of the,new will so surpass
the venerableness of the old, that even
conservatism like worn n-out politi
clans, will be willing to take the direc-
ton of. the new order of things, with a
complaisant, 81 told you so!'' l SIS
