The News makes some structures on an
article in late issue of the Mckinney

urged in opposition to convention. The
Enquirers article is not approved by us
it is severe, in some parts,-too severe, We
think-and the latter paper seems to be as
extreme in its ideas on one side as the
News and Democrat are on the other.
The closing paragraph Of the News ar

fling at gentleman who is endssred to

will do its cause no good.

BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

The proudest now is but my peer,
The highest not more high:
To-day of all the weary year
A king Of men am L.
To-day alike are great and small,
The nameless and the known:
My palace is the peoples hall,
The ballot box my throne!
Who serves to-day upon the list
Beside the served shall stand,
Alike the brown and wrinkled fist,
The gloved and dainty hand
The rich is level with the poor,
The weak is strong to day;
And the sleekest broadcloth counts no more
Than homespun frock of grey.
To day let pomp and vain pretense
Ny stubborn right abide;
/ set plain man S common sense
Against the pedant's pride.
To day shall simple manhood try
The strength OF gold and land
The wide world hath not wealth to buy
The power in my right hand
While there's grief TO seek redress
Or balance to adjust,
There weighs our living manhood less
Than Mammon's vilest dust
While there's right to need my vote,
A wrong to sweep away.
Up clouted knee and ragged coat
A mans man to-day.

THERE is no man in Pennsylvania whose
views on the relation Of the State to indus
trial enterprise have more weight than Hon.
ID. j. Morrell. A practical manufacturer and
practical legislator, he is not liable to the
bias to which experience aud training solely
on one side expose the best and strongest
of u.s. On the practical workings of Legislation
as it affects the WORKMAN and the employer,
and on the economic relations of these parties
to each other aud with the State his Judgment
is eminently valuable. The Homerc epithet
many sided" best describes his qualifications
as writer and thinker on these questions
which are pressing so rapidly towards practical
solution as popular political issues. Mr. Nor.
reli's letter ON Industrial Partnersh ps," nc
cordingly, treating as it does of the internal
economy of the great Cambria Works aud the
proposed State legislation, constitutes home
paper of universal interest and value.-Pyess.

into several small tenements, the rent of which
