Why Stand ye Idlc all one Dayg


The question mentally occurred, on read
ing an article in the New York Express, re-
garding the fearful number of ordinary
laborers who are now out of employment
the thousands Of workingmen who by their
votes last fall endorsed the present Con-
gress and now have ample time to reflect
oa the wisdom Of their course. It Is certain
that at least one-third, IL indeed not a
larger proportion Of this class who so voted
are now out of employment, aud II Is
equally sure that the retention of those
who have something to do Is extremely
problematical.
Let them rehect--now that little else is
left them-that the explanation of the fact
that employers are daily .discharging those
In their hire is found in two circumstances I:
First---the Southern States are not admit
ted In the Union on an Equality,-and
second, the country is In a state Of alarm
ewing to the revolutionary measures Of
the dominant party. The Southern States,
IL they were represented In Congress,
would be to-day, what they always were,
our best customers, but It cannot be ex-
pected that capitalists will invest money In
States whose future may be such rs will

narrow minded and unscrupulous rulers.

A DespOtisrn.


It Is vain for the American people to
longer attempt the closing Of their eyes to
the fact, however unwelcomo IL may be,
that despotic government is in rapid
progress OF construction 10 be placed. when
completed, upon the site Of the beautiful
structure erected by patriot hands-the
once proud Republic-now being torn to
pieces. stone by stone, by the ruthless
hands Of the conspirators at Washington.
Years ago the people Of the several states
were warned as to what their fate would
be If they entrusted the affairs Of govern
ment to the control Of Puritan hypocrites
and fanatical zealots. And u Is the de-
scendants of that same class of men who
traduced, aud sought, by intrigue, the re-
mOval from command the "Father OF his
Country" when with his famishing, freeE-
ing, noble patriotic band, he lay camped at
Valley Forge. It is descendants of the same
men who denounced JEFFERSON as traitor
and aCoward, and threatened a separation OF
States, and a separate government during the
administration of MADIsoN-received the
British emissary. JONI HENRY, and hung
out "blue lights" to guide the enemy's
ships of war into our harbors during our
second war for independence. Descend
ants of the same men who assaulted and
attempted to drive the "Old Hero''-the
gallant warrior and the true statesman
ANDREW JACKsON-from the White House,
because he respected his oath of office, re-
spected the requirements of the COnstltu-
tion and swore "By the Eternal" he would
maintain the rights of the people. 1t is the
descendants of that class-the BUTLERs-the
SUMMERS. the PHILLIPsEs, the STEvENas, and
their tools, pimps and spies, who are
now seeking the overthrow of the white
mans government, and the establishment of
a worse despotism than ever cursed Russia
in the palmiest day of the first Nicholas,
And to accomplish this, they liberated the
negro of the South from the only condition
in which it was ever intended he should be
placed when occupying juXtaposition
with the Caucasian. The next step is
equalization and mongrelism, to be accom-
plished by destroying the powers of the
Executive and those of the Supreme Court,
and wiping out state sovereignty. This ac-
complished, and the conspirators who d.
rect, guide and rule the present so-called
Congress, reign supreme and the American
people are slaves of themeanest type.
We have said the American people were
warned of the fate that awaited them, but
they have not needed the warning. and
they are now rapidly approaching their
doom. A little longer of inactiOn on the
part of the people, brief struggle and all
will be over.
WASHINGTON, in his farewell address, adj
monished us as follows: THE spirit of en-
croachment tends to consolidate the powers
of all the departments in one, and thus to
create, whatever the form of government,
areGl despOtismw We have not needed the
admonition and are now paying the penalty
by being hurried on to the destruction of
our liberties and our rights, as rapidly as the
mad, fanatical devils can send us. Dem
ocrats will you accept the condition OF
slaves, or will you be men?

Imperial Disasters at Mexico.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 3.-The Mexi-
can Consul in this city has received official
information of the capture of the import
ant town of Curnavaea, forty miles from
the city of Mexico, together with the I'm
perial forces, commanded by Colonel Mad
rid. He was also shot by order of a court
martial.
The exodus of Mexicans and French is
increasing. The Archbishop of Mexico is
getting ready to take his departure.
Two and half millions of dollars have
been shipped from Vera Cruz as the adj
vance of French withdrawal from the En-
pire.
A letter from Belize, Honduras, of the
Sth of January, states that the colonists are
in wild state of excitement, in conse-
quence of an Indian raid on the mahogany
cutters and planters. A detachment OF
British troops, which was sent against the
enemy in December, was met by Indians
and defeated, after short battle. The re-
treat of the British is described as very
disorderly rout.

ONE HUNDRED PER CENT.-A correspond
ent writing to the Boston Post, states that
a woolen mandatory at Winooski Falls,
VT, has for several years past declared
yearly dividends of one hundred per cent,
but the fact has never been published,
owing to the owners, who are few in num-
ber, not allowing it to get into the news
papers. And yet this class Of manufactur-
ers are clamoring for higher duties, that
the people may pay still more fabulous
prices for their manufactured goods.

CONSERVATIVE CONVENTIONAL
Conservative Convention is called to
meet in this city to-day. What the
Committee thought proper to pub
lish in relation to the matter, has ap-
peared in the PAenir. The delegates
elected from this city are ell honor
able gentlemen, and are, doubtless,
honest in whatever purpose they
meet for. But we fear that few Dis
tricts will be represented by full de-
legations, and it is no time now to
organize parties in this State. A
Convention will be called, and there
is quite enough excitement now, not
only in this State, but throughout
the South, in relation to parties, to
add fuel to the flame, by declamatory
speeches-such as may be expected
from any popular body, like that
which may convene to-day. We.
therefore, council moderation, both
