The dispatches are quite meager over the

Convention. We learn that they split on

Dickinson coralled some olty of them, and
lectured them so soundly, that the next dis
patch declares they adjourned sine de.

out By somebody, is telegraphed. The reso'
!utons are crude, contradictory, and replet+
with lalsehood. The address is rehash of
al the old abolition lies, added to the lowest
abuse of President johnson, who is spoken
of as an "ingrate," monster" and an "in.
tatuaied tyraut." They say that "for eighty
years the principle Of constitutional liberty
'angulsbed for want Of government support"
This embraces the administrations Of Wash
ington, Adams, J lfelson, Madison, and all

CAPITAI-IT'S RELATION To
LABOR.

Capital is that which is called into exist
ence by the foresight Of man, who, even in
the savage state sees the advantage of not
Immediately consuming the whole produce
of bis exertions in present eradication, and
stores portion for future use. In civilized
life there are many concurring inducements
to store up savings, the most general Of
which are, the anxiety of men to provide for
their families and themselves ia advanced
age social emulation, or their desire to
substitute the manual labor Of others for
their own, and OF advancing themselves from
one grade to another in society also, love
Of ease--luxury purchased by sacrifice Of
the present enjoyment. This desire Of ac-
emulation natural to mankind, and well
nigh universal-the growth Of capital may
be looked for wherever the means Of accu-
mutation exist From the moment a man
produces more than he consumes he be-
comes a creator OF capital. The accumulated
surplus of production over consumption Of
the entire community, is the capital Of
country. Thus far, the origin and growth
Of capital are perfectly ineligible but to
understand lompletely the progress OF accu-
mutation, It is necessary TO advert to certain
matters WI 'ch interfere with its apparent
simplicity. We have noticed no distinction
either in the original definition Of capital or
In the succeeding explanation Of its causes
between those parts of the products of labor
reserved for reproduction of other commodi-
ties and those intended solely for use.
Adam Smith divides these classes into CAPT
tai and revenue BY which division all pro-
ducts are excluded from the definition Of
capital, unless designed for further produc- |
ton. Ar. MeCslIoch, our distinguished pO-
Iitieal economist, denies the propriety. Of
