The Hon. A. J. Hamilton, in recent
speech before the National Union League
ct New York, spoke As follows of the MUIR
der of Union msn in Texas, for no other
offense than loyalty to the Constitution.
He referred particularly to the prepare.
tons which the Union men had made in
Texas in anticipation of the arrival Of the
National forces in the Banks expedition
They we're told that they were coming
they got it thioagh the public prints,
and they took measures nccordingly--
they got up organizations preparatory to
joining the Federal forces q soon q they
landed. But whom il was found that
there was no aid coming-whsn il was
found out by the rebels that the force
was to operate on the Mississippi river
aad not in Texas, they could imagine what
consequence it was 70 the Union men
who has manifested some pleasure 1t thA
arrival of aid. He had no means of
knowing how many, but he knew that
some hundreds lost their lives "a oonse-

THE GATE CITY.
SATURDAY, APRIL {.

THE QUESTION OF WAoxs.-A me-
chanic of our Town, heretofore an earnest
Democrat handed us , brief editorial
from the Chicago Tribune, with the re-
quest that We should publish it two
months, and request all our exchanges 70
copy. He insists that it contains the
whole matter ii i nut she'll, and that !,
req uires but TITLE reflection to satisfy any
man of ordinary sense Of the truth of its
deductions. We will not mar the effect
by any comments of our own, but leave
our readers to ponder the matter and talk
it over with their neighbour. asking than
the while, why the condition Of the 10
boring classes in the South is so inferior
to that Of the laborers Of the North?
A QUESTION of WAaEs.-Say what the
apolopists for secession and rebellion may,
the cause of the war is plainly in the fact
that the men ofthe South are determined
to secure m additional portion of the ma
tional domain 10 which they may work
men without pay. The war is . question
of wages-wagss Of labor; and it may
be stopped in an hour by the consent Of
every employer in the Republic to give
q days pay for days work, This Is 50
plain, that, when We say that had this
been the rule from the beginning, there
could have been no war, no man will be
bold enough TO dispute it.
Laboring men who say that this is .
war of ambition, war Of sections, a war
of politicians, and that they have no con-
cern in the result, have but faint idea
Of the magnitude Of tho issues involved
IA painfully imperfect understanding Of
the Identification of their interests and
the interests Of their children tn Whit il
going on. If . war-one Of the creates,
and bloodiest known 10 history-shallre.
suit in the triumph Of the herssy that one
man may compel another, because he ID
black, to work for him, during whole
life time, without pay, it is not at all im-
probable that the next war will establish
the principle already announced by the
so-aaIIed statesmen Of the 6outh--ths
principle that Capital should own its In.
Dor; and that other principle gravsly de-
Tended in Virginia-gravsly defended,
and, If We admit the correctness of slave
~ ct ill, logically esnblishsd--that the
condition. not the color Of the man to be
enslaved, is the justification Of whomso-
ever would seize upon him. And whsre
these abominable doctrines are the rule
in the land. no man will be sure of the
freedom that he now enjoys.
The question of wages lies at the foun-
dation Of all free institutions. Wages
are the tribute that money pays to toll.
They are the balance wheel that regulates
the relations of the rich to the poor
Hence, whatever concerns wages must
concern every man who looks to his pay
for his daily bread. This war, then, in
volving a. it does the claim OF the South,
or the Shareholders, to have each at his
xislGherever he pleases, a days work
uitho4 q days pay, is the thing which,
abeRfall other things, should challenge
the attention Of all laboring men.-(Chi-
cago Tribune.
