MONEYlMAKING.

So ~
Mr.. Parton, the prince of magazine
lists, appeals to the young men not to
be mere smoney-makers. Why does
he make this appeal? Because the
work of money-getting seems to be
the principal employment of a great
majority of mankind. Why did the
''wickedest man in New Y ork, !" with
his intelligence and good points, con-
tinue, year after year, at his vile busi-
ness in his dance44house Our Amer

any people in mooney-making. One OF
our. millionaires,sss Mr.. Barnum, has
made the tohr of the, country lee
turing before lgceums on the art
of money making, and the people
hastened to hear him as snobs flock to
a coronation. Here the poor strive to

confidence, he will tell you that his
aim is to control every mile of railroa6

Seymour and Blair Meeting In Brook

Seymour and Blair Meeting In Brooklyn.
There was very large concourse OF citizens as.
sembled at q democratic mass meeting held last
evening at the wigwam Of the Constitutional Union
Association, Fulton avenue MIR. ID. p. Barnard pre-
sided and made few remarks, In the course OF
which he referred to the unusual interest evnced by
the people in the approaching election as giving
promise thus early In the campaign OF democratic
victory. The republican party had had the power OF
giving peace to the country but had failed signally
In their work of reconstruction; they had entaied
an additional burden Of taxation upon the people In
maintaining standing army In the Southern States
at cost of 500 900 900 year for the purpose OF In
timdating the white man. He remembered the
time when administration was overthrown be-
cause 1t had expended sls, 900 upon the army
and navy.
Mr.. William c. Dewitt was then introduced and
was received with applause. He discussed sOpe OF
the elementary principles Of republican government
and held that the great issue to be decided was
whether we shall have a return OF a republican form
of government or be changed to an imperial
monarchy. The intelligence or tho voting masses
was the sole life OF government, and he re.
viewed the progress and wisdom exercised by our
forcfaihcrs In its establishment to carry out that
grand object. The policy OF the radical party In
power was rapidly tending towards CONTEMPLATION.
TO gain their selfish ends the republican party pro-
posed 10 introduce four million African votes Into
the ballot box, and thus give the beniphted and
government OF the Caucasian. The speaker con-
tinued In an eloquent strain, dwelling upon the Is
sues Of the present canvass. and upon concluding
took his seat amidst rounds OF applause. Other
speakers followed and the meeting adjourned at O
late hour,
