lings.
The subject of the existing strikes among
the workingmen has attracted the attention Of
az least one among our leading religious con-
temporarles. The Observer stanch Presby-
terlan organ, reviews the matter under the
heading OF ''The New Tyranny" Says the
Observer -

willing to allow others the same freedom that thav
claim ior themselves, VIII ere long find the
stronger elements Of society arrayed against them
Counter combinations will be formed for self-de-
fence. Politicians have been hypocritcaliy playing
into the hands OF the leading spirits in this raid but
even the politicians are beginning to perceive that
nothing short OF the complete Reorganization Of
society will satisfy those who are under the guild

them on to ruin.
The Golden Age talks about the contents of
can Old White Hat" and gives an amusing
description thereof. A venerated guest enters
the sanctum sonctoram of the Age and setting
his hat, with crown downwards, on copy Of
'Webster's Dictionary" an observation is
made of the contents Of the aforesaid hat.
The contents are regarded as 'sunbeams into
flower pot" The Old White Hat contained:-
First, universal amnesty; second, political
equality third, tariff fourth, State rights
fifth, policy of the new administration sixth,
motto borrowed from Daniel Webster
Zone country, one constitution, one destiny;'
seventh, draft Of letter; eighth, card to
the public.
The Golden Age continues
dow to see him navigate his course across Printing
House square, and we could not help thinking as

Later, that the fathers Of the republic still live in
their sons, and that in q free country great men
plant.
Mr. Tilton gives, under the heading Of 1.-THE
Prospects of Victory" personal letter from
Ethan Allen, chairman of the National Com
mittee Of Liberal Republicans in which
Colonel Allen SAYS
In great movement like ours opposition was to
be expected as well as double dealing on the part
OF coworkers; and have encountered both. Yet
say to you that throughout this whole nation the
liberal party already organized some States being
more advanced than others; and respecting Balti-
more, twenty days ago it was regarded as O
tanty at these headquarters that Mr.. Greeley would
be endorsed by an overwhelming vote. There may

and patronage OF the administration can afford to

President In spite OF the hostility of open enemies
and the treachery of pretended friends

For nearly twenty years you and have labored

we are now united in effort to free the Southern

OF this idea, and hence he Is our nominee. He is

The EVIL One'' in Lowell has for many
years been considered by his political oppo-

thus favorably of General Grant
One OF the things which commend General Grant
