length, and with an 'eloquence that elected
smiles and tears alternately. About two
thousand dollars was paid or pledged to the
cause, as the result OF his remarks.

A REMARKABLE, REPORTER New
York World says of George Wakeman, New
York journalist who died few days ago: "He
was sent by the World in August 1856, to Phila.
delphia to report the proceedings Of the famous
johnson convention. In this he was assisted
by MIR. John G. Jacobs, now member. of the
Assembly, but then an attache of the World
staff The World report of the convention was
remarkable for its fullness and accuracy, but
the occasion tried Mr.. Wakeman's qualities of
readiness and presence of mind, in a curious
manner. On the night of the assembling of the
.cenvention, John w. Forney mounted a ros-
trum in the street, and in a wild and bitter
speech harangued the crowd to lynch the
Southern delegates. Mr.. Wakeman happened
to be on the spot, and occupied position
where he could hear every word the denagogue
uttered, but unfortunately he had left his note
book at his hotel In the uncertain light of a
Pickering lamp, andjostled by an excited crowd,
he took down every word of the crazy speech
upon his wristbands and shirt collar and two
envelops. The next morning the speech ap-
pearcd vcr6atim in the World, but it read very
differently from the calm and carefully-revised
report in Mr.. Forneyls own paper of the same
date"

SECTION l. BE 1t enacted by the Senate and

South Carolina now met and sitting in General
Assembly, and by the authority of the same,
That for the purpose of inducing the invest

State, any Individual, or association of individ-

the result at the end Of the forty

Of within fraction of seven times the

this must be wrung from the muscle
and sweat of labor. We have thu
hastily reviewed, and presented
some of the more prominent results
that will follow the adoption of tn,
swindling scheme.
In conclusion, we will say that in on
Judgment it would be not less craver
and morally dishonest for the working

ROtration Of this outrage upon thei
fights, than to openly repudiate thu
whole debt.

To The Editor Of the WoRKHGNAH's Advocate.
SENATOR sPRAGUE A PHILANTHRoPIsr.
I sent you a few lines on the 28th
inst, in favor of introducing the
worklngman's movement into politics,
and don't see any success for the
cause outside of it. An ex-member of
congress has just remarked in my
presence, that he had no faith in the
workingmen's party because Just as
as soon as a workma acquires a little
property and becomes a capitalist, he
opposes labor as much az any other
capitalist in the country. This may be
true in many cases, but not in all If
some men will sell their soul and body
for money, all will not. There are
few noble men amongst us, enough I
hope to save the country from impend-
ing ruin. One Of these is Senator
Sprague, of Rhode Island, who worked
his way up from the bottom of the
ladder to the top, and did not lose his
friendship for the people. He is sup
posed to be one Of the wealthiest men
in the country, employing 10000 labor
ers, more or less, paying out annually
something like &c, 900, 900 for wages.
Providing good homes, mot tenement
houses)for his employees, and attending
to the education Of the children, he
feeds both the body and the mind, and
it is to this fact that wish to call your
because there are so few bust
ness men who seem to have any regard
for workingmen in an educational point
Of view. His speeches in the senate
last winter are worthy of deep reflect
ion, and show him to be friend of the
people, and it will not do to underrate
him-those who do so make a grave
mistake, and bis enemies accord to him
honesty, sincerity, and disinterested-
ness, which you cannot say Of many |

1t is announced that it is the inten.
ton Of the New York employers to
import 1000 Chinese cigarmakers from
San Francisco to that city, the object
being, of course, 70 obtain cheap labor.
Unless little discretion is observed in
some quarters,w we incline to the opinion
that there will be . general exporsatiOs
of some other parties than journeymen
cigarmakers, and to hotter cline too,
than that enjoyed by Hong Kong or
New York.
