Hard to Please.

The New York Daily Necs writes 1.-THE
working classes of the South are exposed more
than those of this section at present are. to the
pressure Of negro competition. The equality OF
tie two begins it's assertion there, 10 a form
more threatening to the white lahorer tnan even
IN the case of the North. The progress of the
struggle at the South may therefore be watched
by the working classes here as a study of what
is. as yet, but in progress ofdevelopment among
themselves"
It is u difficult to satisfy men who are deter
mined to grumble. We have been confidently
assured, at different times, by the Daily Nsaos
and its friends. the malignant pro-slavery men,
First, That the free negro win not work az
all; but
. Second, That he will work so much better
than III. white laborer. that the latter will be
injured by she pressure Of negro competition"
Third, That the country will DO ruined by
the idleness of the free blacks; but
F"arth, That bhe negroes are so eager for
" TX as to leave none for whire workman.
Fifth. That the negroes Rro q curse TO the
country; but
Sixrh, That the slave system. which made
regru-breeding q regular ana profitable buei-
ness, and thus increased ih"ir numbers At an
abnormal rate, was a divine institution and y
blessing TO the land.
Seventh. tt a. the negro is rssur ally IN alb
ioct coward ; but
Eighth. That he is IN mOsH dangerous crca~
ture, sarable of rising and numbering . commu-
D;tv double his numbers aud, with . hundred
lines his strength in arms and al preparations
Ninth, That the negro can only live ins

Tenth. That now he Is O. free there. he will
immediately rush North, and take the bread out
Of the mouths Of the white workingmen here.
Eleventh. That white men cannot work in
the Southern fields. whica can be cultivated
only by negroes /; but
Twelfth, That the negroes ought all to be colon
iscd in Africa. or driven of TO some remote
corner Of this continent.
Thirteenth. That the freedmen are 50 stupid
and ignorant as to be dangerous to the republic !;
but T
Fourteenth. That they ought not be instruct
ed or permitted to acquire knowledge.
Fifteenth. That it would be a curse to North
ern w~orkingmen % have the negroes dock into
these States; but -
Sixteenth. That Northern workingmen ought
not to favor a policy which would make the ne
groes contented To remain in the South.
Seventeenth, That the workingmen Of the
Northern States ara the most intelligen', the
most capable. the most industrious and the must
~virtnnus In the world bat
Eighteenth. That they will inevitably be
ruined and de rived Of work by tho con petition
of ignorant and ! lie negroes
Nineteenth, That the presence of the blacks
amongst us will always be a source Of difficulty
and trouble; but
Twentieth, That she Emancipation act is
wrong, chiefly because, uLder its operation. th
negro race is likely to die out. like the Indians.
These are some Of the curious Contradictions
into which men fall no ignore all general prin-
ciples, and follow only the. will o -the-wisr of
their pr JUDGES. It is not only in relation to
the rregr question that they are thus blinded
their folly extends to other affairs For in
stance, they assert very earnestly that a mef-
chat ought to be free to sell his goods wherever
he wants but they will not have a laborer sell
his labor as freely, though that labor Great 8 Il e
goods. They insist that We shall buy NAlico 10
The cheapest ma@ket, but not labor They
laugh at the absnfdities and crudities of ''pro-
'~rctive legislation, and yet cry out that white
wolkmen must suffer, unless protected against
the pressure of negro competition They
welcome imuuigraIi 70 from abroad, at the same
time that they try to persuade worE ingmen here
that the labor market is already overstocked.-
These are the same men who, before the war,
d clared the negro a beast. a monkey. possessed
of every vile quality, and a terrible danger tc
the community, and yet urged the reopenlng Of
the African slave trade.-N. 2. tvening Post.
