the capital still, in the aroma of pleasant

the first person he called on was Judge
Kelley, whom he wished to -propitiate.
Unluckily for Jacob the Judge has good
memory. "Wby, Mr.. Barker exclaimed
he, "Tm surprised to see you here on such
an errand. 1 felt sure you belonged to
the Denant party in New 0rIeans-the
party of equal rights and equal suffrage" !"
aWhat could have possessed you with
such an idea ?'' queried the would-be
Representative. Why. Mr.. Barker, it is
the recollection. Of your noble example,
forty years ago, that inspires me now. /
remember, as the thing which made me an
anti-slavery man, your conduct in New
York; wien you took eiof your tug
boats, and with few friends, went out to
a vessel in the harbor and rescued three
runaway slaves it was about to sail with,
and restore to their masters in Charles

During the war law was passed giving
citizenship to every foreigner who enlisted
in the army and sexed for one year. If this
privilege was conferred On-those ignorant of
our institutions, why should it be denied to
the negroes who are natives, and who
for four years fought for the country. The
restriction on suffrage in the States should
not deter him from doing his duty toward
the colored men in this district In answer
ing the objections made to the bill, he said
the late election to take the sense of the
people on the negro suffrage question, was
one-sided, a piece of moekery, only enc
part of the people. voting, instead of all
going to the polls. All these siOnists and
3ympathizers in the rebellion, and copper,
heads voted on that occasion, against the
extension of suffrage. -. r 8

who desire return to the old regime.
Laboring men are now agitating the sub
ject of reducing the working period from
ten to eight hours per day. The subject
| is a new one, and susceptible of much
argument which we hope to see go on
| until satisfactory conclusions shall have
been arrived at. With our present light,
We must say that our sympathies are with
this movement. We believe a fair diVis-
ion of the day-by which we mean twen-
ty-four hours-would be to devote eight
hours to labor, eight hours to religious,
moral, intellectual and social improve
ment and development, and eight hours
to rest and sleep. We believe such a sys-
tenn would result benefcially to com
munity in moral point of view. We
confidently believe that the intellectual
growth and moral culture of the
laboring classes that would result
from the adoption of this system would
be of incalculGble advantage to society.
Ignorance is favorable to vice; intelli-
genee to virtue. Vice costs tbe State
more than all else combined Vice is,
therefore the most fruitful cause of taxa
ton, and whatever would tend to diminish
vice would result in the reduction of State
and municipal taxes. Education viii ao-
complish much in this regard. Men of
culture are seldom guilty of those petty
offences against law and morality which
go to make up the mass of eriminality in
the land. 1t is next to impossible to de-
vote much time to self-improvement while
laboring ten hours per day during SIX
days of the week. How such revolution
in the labor system of the country is to be
brought about is a question worthy the
attention of our wisest men. Many en-
barrassments will present themselves in
the interests and rights of the
various parties, which can only be over
come by time, moderation and patience.
If this be real reform, capitalists may be
assured will prevail If it be Utopian
scheme, laborers may be assured that it
will not prevail. We would advise all par
les to look at the question fairly, calmly ]
and critically. Let the great object be to
lscertain the truth, with view to con-
orming to its requirements.

Mr.. Dangler offered for adoption the
following preamble and resolutions, which
were ordered to be printed:
WHEREAS, The persistent efforts made
during the last eighty years, by certain
States of this Union, to establish and prop
agate the idea and belief that all men were
not equal before the law, and to surround
their peculiar institution with the safe
guard Of Fugitive Slave Law, and other
odious enactments, have, through the in
terposition of Divine Providence, resulted
in its final destruction; and,
| WHEREAS, The wise and well-timed act
of Congress giving liberty to the enslaved
| in the District of Columbia, met with an
| appropriate response in the hearts of all
freedom-leving and loyal men, and proved
to be the precursor of the second and third
acts in the great drama of human progress
and advsncement-the Proclamation Of
Emancipation and the Amendment of the
Constitution; and,
| WHEREAS, Congress possesses the power
and prerogative to extend the right of suf-
frage in the District of Columbia and the
territory over which it has jurisdiction I;
and,
| WHEREAS, Not only the American peo-
pie, but the entire civilized world is look
ing to the 39th Congress of the United

hearts for the performance of an act that

ResotUed, That in the opinion of this
body, the bills now before the House of
Congress, basing the right of suffrage in
the District of Columbia on an educational
qualification, without distinction of color,
are just, and will meet with the sanction
and approval of majority of the people
of the. State of Ohio. Be it. also,
ReSoIved, That we request our members
of the House of Representatives and SEN

The Eight Hours Labor syste

The Eight Hours Labor System.
We are not of those who believe in an
airrepressible. conflict" between capital
and labor. We hold that the interest OF
the employer and the employed are iden-
tical. Capital and labor, the two great
physical powers of christendom, when
properly appreciated, will go hand in hand,
sustaining each other and developing the
mechanical, commercial and agricultural
resources of the globe The relation Of
employer and employed is one voluntarily
assumed for the mutual benefit of the
parties. To certain ex tent, this relation
is one which will regulate itself, without
doctoriRg at the hands Of associations OF
legislative bodies. The value of labor,
like that of any other commodity, will
be Influenced by the laws of trade, and is
not proper subject for legislation There
are, however, some reasons why the Law
should specify the number of hours of labor
to be performed daily, chief among which
are Ln6 hhDiiltg VI SotHSH anu UiShOhOS'
men to take advantage of the absence OF
fixed rules, and the desirablsness. of uni
formity. A few years sincea days work

rather, want of system-were .grieyous
