HOW To SETTLE III.
The defamation Of parties, which cover
al SORTS Of sophisms, cannot conceal the
truth which We state: 4hat this re5el1i IN
may he put down and peace aud brotherly
harmony restored, by the consent Of both
sections to a proposition, that, in the ab-
stract, none will dispute Let both the
North and the South agree, that, when a
man does a days work, he shall have q
day. wages therefor, and the whole thing
is at al end.
We take it for granted that the right Of
q man to what he earns hy the sweat Of his
brow will not be disputed. And We take
1t ter granted, also, that this right is ante
cedcnt and superior to all laws Of 1egisla-
lures, su constitutions, and al agreements
ef whatever kind they may be- 1t is
teaching Of nature-the very foundation
stone Of all civilized society. The viola
ton Of it is the potent cause and sufn :icnt
reason for the bloodshed that now deluses
The land. The naho5s Of the South will
Ct mrcl nun to work without pay.
Nov If We 60 back to the fundamental
principle that underlles an society, and, by
agreement, re enact the law Of nature and
make it a part Of our civil polly, where
will rebellion have place upon which to
rest its weary feot-where the excuse fo-
arming many
Wcthank God that Honest Old Abe has
hit the marrow Of the thing in his proc1a-
nation. But suppose the South will not
ngree-that it will insist that toll may be
exacted by the strong from the wcak, and
that no return shall be made Therefore We
lave only to continue the war, aud fight
On until tho right is established. "But
niggers are nothing to US" says an object
OF. He is mistaken. Whatever his lore
or hatred for the colored race, in the
establishment II tue principle that one
who has power may tyranuize over one who
is weak, he has vital concern. Heknows
not, Wien IL at dogma Of dcspoism has
taken root in the land, how soon it may
oye1shadow HIM If a "nigger" may be
compelled TO work without pay to-day, an
IrisIman may be SO constrained to-mor-
TOW, and 8 German the next day, and an
American the day after. Tie only safety
is in the absolut: right. As we 70 from
that, the danger increases. Hence We tell
the lubo1ing men who now complain Of
the war and its consequences, that it is
waged for them and not Tor the rich; and
if the one principle which undcrlies our
eE1tts is defeated, free Government, aud
1Iic certainty that when White man does
a days work he can have days pay, arc
at IN ind. and weknow not how soon the
"1-hire-yuu-~ittout-pay' gentry may be
dominant In the North.
II the Democratic party Of the free
States will persuade its adherents and CO.
workers in the Scu1h, now in arms against
the government, to come to the terms that
We propose, there may be peace as soon as
any Democrat would wish it. And arc not
our terms fair2 We ask the editor Of the
Tory 1ames-we ask any Democrat of
secession procliyities, whoever he may be
lis not days wo1k the equivalent for a
days wages? Can any political conmu-
nifty, founded on any other idea than that,
be Il blessing to the governors or the gov
crncd? Can We hare peace uatil that OBJ
Tious, necessary, indispensable compile
ment Of labor -pay-be assured to all HLo
Works
Let the South say that Fay, mol the whip,
shall be the rule-1llat its labarins popula-
tion shall he taken away from tile domina-
ton Of Mr.. Lash and put into til: keeping
Of 1fr: Cash-&nd rot another battle need
be foagh!-wnr will be impossibl.
We commend the subject in all its bear
irgs to the pretended advocates ot equal
rights Democrats-assuring them tia
whatever may have been the beginning Of
the contest, it is now a Struggle for the
rights Of 1abor--that and nothing else.
