The Burdens Of tho English Lnborer.

Mr.. Letham, III. p. for Wakefield, in a
lecture to his constitlents,in favor Of cur
tailment of governmental expenses, quoted
with approval an stimate by Mr. Francis
of Manchester, that-
The SUN which every artisan Win
wife and three children paid annually
in customs, duties, and excise, together
with The enhanced price Of articles through
the operation of taxation, was fl2 l8s.
Cd, the enhanced price being put at the
very moderate computation OF 20 per cent.
upon the amount Of the tax. Surprising,
then, that the altisn received from ESQ to
eco 4 year IN wages, he sacrificed one-fifth
to one quarter Of his gross earnings TO the
necessities Of the state. (Ilear) Let
them then never hear again the tippant re-
mark that this is not a poor mans question.
The poor man was net represented ~ Tar
lament. He had no voice IN the imposl-
ton of taxes, or the augmentation OF arna-
ments. If, tleriore, there was anything
generous or chlyaIrous in their nature, they
we're bound-they who had voice In
these things-to watch and protect his in
terests with double vigilance, and when
they saw how their prodigality abridged
his comforts and menaced his, hopes, they
should regard that prodigality not merely
as the pardonable folly Of the rich-not
merely as the profigale osfentation which
great and welthy nation may harmlessly
indulge IN, but as an outrage upon the
the helpless, and crime against the
poor

last week that one hundred and twenty
barrels of refined oil had been shipped
east, from the Hatch refinery at that place
without the payment Of the United States

twenty barrels were found in Buffalo, and

The Kentucky Union Con ycnfion.

The Union State Convention which met
at Louisville yesterday, was largely attend
ed. 1t is estimated that near one thousand
delegates were present. The venerable Mr..
Marshal, of Manson county, was chosen

the Hon. Mr.. Cravens, a Democratic mem
Der Of Congress from Indiana. He youched
strongly for his loyalty ana also conlmeded
him as a personal friend. He was respec-
fully invited to take his seat on the platform
Mr.. Crayans, upon entering The ball
was called out, and he proceeded to
make speech. He commenced bv declar-
ing himself devoted Union man, and III IA
Yor of crushing the rebellion. This senti-
ment was applauded. He urged harmony,
and said the eyes of all Indiana were upon
the Convention.
This was also received He then com
menced laudation Of the Democratic
party; whereppon there were whsperings
of dissatisfaction. He then began to abuse
the President. but before he succeeded in
getting of fall sentence of this slang, his
voice was lost in storm of disapprobation.
He was denounced as a buttenut and COP
perhead, and informed that be had no
business in that Convention or that State
The excitement was intense, and members
who undertook to speak word for Mr..
Crayans, We're also denounced as copper
heads. After the storm had ragged ior
some time, and partly spent itself, Mr.
Yeaman, Kentucky Congressman, urged
that Mr.. Crayan be allowed 10 proceed, but
this had no effect. The Chair finally
pursuaded the Convention to permit the
Indianian to explain. This was acceded
TO, and Mr. Crayens said few words on
ap entirely different string from that upon
which he bad commenced to play, and sub
sided. His closing remarks, contrasted
with the speech which he md nook to
make, were SO evidently hypoeritical that
they caused a general feeling of disgust,
and subsequent proceedings were sufficient
10 satisfy Mr., Cravens that he was regard
ed by the Convention as a copperhead.
Col. Fry made bold speech, denouucing

themselves into tie Convention, Tor the pur-
pose Of disturbing lis proceedings or irflaen.

Notes on sheep Raising In Ohio.


The late census report places Ohio at
the head of the list in sheep husbandry
TO genuine Buckeye, one having be-
coming pride in the prosperity Of that place
which IS his home by birth or adoption, this
fact cannot be otherwise than gratifying.
In 1850 the whole product Of wool IN The
United States WIS about 52,oo0,o00 lbs.
In 1860 the clip increased to sixty and
half millions Of pounds, showing gain OF
over IS per cent. daring this period. OF
this, Ohio, in 1860, produced l9,648,00o
lbs, aGd although we have decreased oNer
400, 900 in pounds shorn. This increase OF
wool from less number Of sheep clearly
Indicates more intelligent system OF breed
inc, and better manager ent OF hcoks
Ohio has rear 100000 acres OF land
under Improvement, and only fraction
3 100000 Sheep less than one sheep for
every three acres of cleared land it is
therefore obvious the number may he
greatly augmented without being over
stocked, or materially efftcting other i'm
portant agricultural interests. That sheep
husbandry is now assuming q more impor-
tant position in the economy OF the farm
than heretofore,is evidenced by the demand
and prices paid for sheep at the present
time. During the last year, wool has adj
vanced about so per cent. lille sheep have
advanced fully 100 per cent. New men
are now attracted by the price Of wool to
emil ark in the business of wool growing,
and almost every flrmer is increasing the
number formerly kept on has farm. This,
| by no means condemn, and yet it may
not be out of place to offer word OF
caution. The wisest man clnnot predict
what is before US, or what will be the con
dition of our Nation one year hence. | Go
not despair, and yet hope my country
AMI Government will be saved, but, IN our
present distracted condition. would GER
tainly hesitate before embarking in any en-
tcrprise involving large inN estment.
And furthermore, is not the present price
Of wool delusive? grant that in marking
the currency Of the country the standard Of
value, wool has advanced so per cent, bui
If desire to convert this currency into gold
or if ! only accept gold in payment for my
wool, will then fluid the last years prices
closely represent in absolute, or true value
at the present time. But while | would ad
wise cauti)n would ais applaud every wise
. and well directed effort to increase the mum
ber,and still further aim to advance The pres
ent high charactar of our Ohio tlocks.
Ii a good Providence grants power fc
our Government to subdue, and crush thi,
wicked conspiracy againstits life, then sure
y the fock-master may look forward fo
some years to come, WI j assurance tha
his labors and care for his feeey charge
will be rewarded. The present supply Q
wool i'm the markets of the world is unusu
ally smal, and cotton, both from scarcity anC
price, cannot rs heretofore constitute 50
, prominent an element ia our professedl,
wooden fabrics.
