HYrocusY o. THE ON PARTIES -woRkrSGuEs
MIST STAND FIRMLY BY THEIR OwS Glass.
/ 1t is rather amusing to see the
solicitudc Of the old parties manifested
for tie workingmen's party, they are so
afraid we shall injure our cause by
making separate nominations; they love
us so much it will not be surprising to
see them very soon turn round en-
n,asse and vote our ticket, for fear we
may fail That would be their consistent
course, if they are really as friendly to
our interests as they pretend. But,
seriously, did they not fear that our
systematic organization and deter
mined efforts would injure them and
their party prospects, would they so
bitterly denounce and discourage us
and our party movement When the
Republicans and Democrats see their
opponents doing anything that is likely
to weaken themselves, do they de-
nounce them? Not bit Of it, they
rejoice to see them kill themselves.
When they see Us do what they really
think ,cW weaken us, they will rejoice,
else, if they truly desired our success,
they would vote with US to promote it.
Let no wOrkingman be deceived and
deluded from voting our ticket by their
hyocritical prelensions Of love. They
have not such love for us as for their
own parties.
Just now, il the old world, both the
parties that are waging the terrible
war, are more afraid of the working
men than Of either of the monarc heal
factions. Let the workingmen here,
and in Europe, now stand firmly by
their own interests, instead of support
ing the parties in power; they will
constantly try to calole us by their
promises to carry out measures for our
relief and advancement, and by occa-
sionally doing some acts OF temporary
benefit. lust enough to keep US in

withdrawn from the neck OF the dog grad

nsarsr and nearer TO Robert, till at last,

to his side, put her tiny hand con6dinRly
into his, and laid her little bright head
against him.

suddenly stopping, he pressed q warm.
orosherly kls9 upon that pure, upturned
brow. And at that moment, though no
words we're uttered, no promise given, q
tacit compact of love was formed between
these two young bsings-each SO desolate /;
each OF whom had been struck out of their
natural sphere by sudden calamity, and
VIII" stood, each isolated and lonely, in q
changed world, surrounded by strangers.
As they stood thus mouent silently, hand
in hand, old Max, thinking that Mrs. Howe's
presence relieved him of his responsibility,
relaxed his vigilance, and renouncing his
belligerent attentions, walked round them,
shifting at Mr.. Middleton's feet with
canine friendliness of manner which Robert,
who entertained q city bred dislike to dogs
in general, could quite as we'll have dispensed
with.

tirred and smiled through all her leaden

beauty of the child's spirit instinctively rec |

With vague yearning, blind and dumb,

After school in the afternoon, Robert who |

TO all appeals and remonstrances from the
United States and British governments, the
matter was laid before the Madrid authori-
lies, who we are pleased TO see, are disposed
10 take very different view of the case, and
10 INSIST ON the cessation of practices which, If
u, u,hcnecked, must prove quite as injurious to
tne iuture commerce of the Cuban ports as
shey are vexations and embarrassing to the
Iorelgn shipping frequenting those ports. The
colonial minister of Spain has issued circu
iar, under date OF Havana, 9th ult., directing
mat all lines imposed in the Island of Cuba
on account OF non presentation of a third
copy OF the manifest be refunded. and also
announcing that the colonial authorities will
oe held personally responsible for any change
IN the custom house regulations, which can
De lawfully made only by the superior GOVERN
Meut' IN the months OF Decembt a.d jan
uary last, there were number [ fines of
S3OO each imposed on American vessels ow-
ing to the omission mentioned, and even a
greater number were imposed on British yes-
sells, all OF which were paid. Under ipstruc-
tions, as contained in this circular, these will
have to be refunded, and the vexatiops To
which foreign commerce is constantly SUBJ
jected done away with. Through the Joint
action OF our own and the British govern
ments, we trust that we have heard the last
OF the bad practices at the Spanish West In
dia ports. The tendency of the men who
have the supreme direction of affairs in Spain
is towards affording facilities for the opera
tions of commerce, and they have already pro-
mugated DEGREES which afford satisfactory
evidence of their disposition, the most recent
being proposition before the Cortes for OPEN
ing the coasting trade of Cuba and Porto Rico.
But such a measure, or even the broader de-
ign tor the general assimilation of flags in
: le ports of Spain and her possessions, Is of
wralrr . AI..S .saI~
ermitted TO take up obsolete regulations, and
% make these regulations the pretence for
mulcting every foreign ship that arrives at the
