eeeds to say that We are in the interest
Of the capitalists" and seek in disrs-
putabIs manner to SOW diseord among
our workingmsn," etc, etc.
We deny this emphaticAlly. No EN-
ployer-no capitalist-has anything to
do, directly or indirectly, with the ar
sicles We are writing in regard TO the
workingmen's meetings. The principal
editor wrote them and 10 alone responsi-
bic. They we're intended exclusively to
guard our workingmsn against Copper

The Times says this paper made It's
hostility to mechanics known in the
Spring election when il " objected to
Frank Morriss election because he vas
a mouldsr." This is entirely worthy Of
the prolific fancy Of the man who saw
twenty men in buckram in Capt Miller,
and swore falsely to hide his cowaEdiee
Frank Morris himself will consider the
Timers championship Of his cause un-
calIed-for. for be knows that what the
Journal said Of him in the Spring was
not said through malice, but through
raillery and By way Of joke. Frank
likes his jokes and can take as we'll as
give.
The idea that the Journal editors are
leayened with aristocracy is another idea
peculiarly Sproaiish--ws almost said
foolish, bat must not use ugly words
The Journal editors are Lsborfng msn
themselves--they always have been
they made al they have by the hardest
kind Of lAbor-labor, compared with
which work ten hours day in mechsn
les shop Is not hard labor. We are
scorkfHg men, and glory in the thought
This is honorabla--more 30 than If w
we're courthouse hangsrs-on, street
corner gossips, and loaferssbout the per
lieus Of Third street
II would be case Of disqualification
{ and social suicide for the Journal edit
ors to discredit lsbor and laboring mel
. when they train in tkose ranks them
selves. 1T Is = foul bird that dirties il,
own nest.
We seek 10 exalt and ennoble labor b,
insisting on its dsvo.sss standing b.
their country in this hour Of lis trial
and giving the quietus to designing an
reasonable CopperheAds who seek q
use them to break up tho Government
and destroy tas Union.

The laborer is a king a. regards hi
value to the world, compared with sue

working men, that is their best fiienS
But, more likely, it Is that one whe, tel
