| CHANGE, AN ELEMENT ORREVOLUTION.
, Labor is the basis of the scdal system in the
United States. The Gret settlgs did not lay the
foundation of society and gaernment in this
country with such materials s nuk or capital;=
they were fortunately without stres of either, and
they formed communitics upen tie principles of
equuhity and justice. Natare gratuitously opened
1o them a wide and bounteoss field for lubor, and
the social system was an wssiciation of industry,
They had no superior classtaappropriate to them
scives the earnings of the rest; no conqueror or
digntary to dictate to then te institutions of des
potismi;=but common labor became their com=-
mon wealth. And to the exd that active indastry
might continne to be of the ughest esteem, they
made it the road and the cuv road to wealih. Bat
great wealth in the hands of . Itew being known
o be a great evil, they tool are to prevent it by
equal laws for inheritunce ard distnibution.
In Europe the foundationof the social system
was difcrent, at least the time is not known when
it was similar to thut of the United Stutes. T'here
the proper and natural rate of wages is establish=-
ed to be the lowest peint that will support the life
of the laborer and his fawily, if it be not too lurge
or unable to aid him in their support. Such a
rate is there considered a salutary check upon
the increase of the laboring population. This is
the remedy which is there prescribed for the evils
produced, not by too many laborers, but by too
many harpies who rob the:n of the just rewards of
labor.
Does any one suppese that the interests of the
industrious and idle classes arein Great Britain the
same 1 Orif the capitalists ofthis country had the
exclnsive control of lubor as certain classes have
in Great Britain, that the condition of the laborer
here would escape degradation! Wealth, though
accumulated by lubor, yet when acenmalated, be
comes o far as interest is concerned the natoral
antagonist to the full reward of labor. L then be
comes the power to command the labor of others,
and willif possible to a much greater amount than
that by which it was gained. Besides this, it has
within itsell a treinendous power, under our laws,
of doubling its valne within a short period of time.
The capitalists in this country receive a greater
amountevery year by way of interest than is paid
by the people-by way of taxesinto the treasury of
the United States.
A great change has already taken place in the
social iustitutions of this country, sinee it became
a large and flourishing republic. Andthis change
in respect to the rights of labor is working a rev.
olution most unfavorable to them. Inconsequence
however of the room for expansion in the territo=
ry from time to time annexed to the Sfates, a wide
ficld of labor Las been cunstantly open to enter
prise and made the change in the older setile
menis comparatively harmless; the whole conn
try by this meanshaviug retasined much of the primi
tive charaeter of'its inhinbitants in respect to lubor.
Indeed. the eficcts of emigrationto the fertile lands,
within the reach of almost every indididual, may
be truced in the enhancement of labor throngh all
the ramifications ol society. And hence those in
terests most benefitted by low wages have been
constantly opposed tothe enlargement of our pub
lie domain.
But the change iu Great Britain has been great
er from the operation of more powerful canses,
and from the almost entire absence of any good
ellect from the correspording checks of emigra
tion. There is no controversy on this point be
tween the political parties o Great Britwin, The
restrictionists and free trawers agree in represent.
ing the present condition of the industrial popula
tion the most diswal that can possibly be endured.
Butitis only the struggle beween capital and Ja
bor. And the misery of thy struggle proceeds
from the fact that society then is made to stand
ard has always been standing upon a miserable
busis. Their foolish conserratism has brought
down to the present time the vorst abuses of their
tme past institutions. The copsequence must in
evitably be that such a conserrutism, if continued,
will eventually produce a chmge,~and that too
not less than a revolution. Afuture age, if not
the present, will refuse to bear the burdens that
time will not fail to continue to wenmulate. Sume
may see in the present conditior of England only
natural canses which are believel to have destroy
ed so many powerfu! kingdons, he youth, man
hood, and old age of which theysuppose to be as
much a matter of course as such yeriods are in the
case of an individual. But others may see the
true reason of the decline and fal of empires ns
proceeding from that obstinate corservatism which
refuses to relieve the people from wch oppression
as they are either nuwilling or unible to bear.—
And that when lubor shall be rewarded in Great
Britain, capital will be enhanced in the United
States.
Louis Naroreos. The name sems almost to
bave demented the French people. Whatshould
we thinkofa President making a tourof the States
for the avowed purpose of seeing whether the
people would make him a monaxch? Bat the
name of Napoleon !—Siill by the America we
learn that he was not received even 'n a compli=
mentary way, at Lyons, the second ety in France.
And the 15th of August had passed without his
being made First Consul or Emperor. This was
the day. the birthday of the Corsican Lieutenant,
when i his tour had favored the morement, some
grand coup d'etat was to come off. There is still
hope for France. If the peopl: there are not fit
for sell-government, they like every other people
are fitto try itj=and the readiest of any to put
down despotism. “I'he triangular position of the
Legitimists, who are for Henry sth, of the Orlean
iste who are for the Count de Paris; and of the
Imperialists who are for Napoleon, at least for the
name, willwe hope keep the Republicans in pos
session—who should immediately nominate their
man to succeed the miserable thing that disgraces
the name of President, sotreasouably.

that oimplo hearted pP(),fle. The number of mur
ders thus committed, alarmed at length the pater
nal government of Chioa, and in 1838 the opiam
was scized and destroyed according to the law of
the land. T'he English then wade war upon the
Chinese to destroy them in a more summary way;
and atlast compelled them to submit to be poison

four hundred thonsand lives are annually destroy

the owners pursued and had them arrested in
Pennsylvania, on the charge of having stolen the
hiorses saddles and bridles which they took with
thew in their flight, but which they abandoned af
ter riding whout thirty miles. It seems some conrt
decided that these slaves conld notbe given up on
that clisrge through defects in the process, and for
want of evidence. The court however stated its
beliel that they were fugitive slaves, and that the
“owners could not be prevented by the court from

“Whercupon the owners repaired to the juil to

|HOW THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WAS
| “DISSOLVED.”
‘ When John Van Buren first announced in Ohio
that “the Demecratic party was dissolved,” it start
| led good old Democrats, who had fondly velieved
| that the great party which had piloted the shup of
| State through so many dangers, and conlvrred
upon the wation, by its prineiples and poliey, so
much glory and prosperity, would have survived,
not merely themselves, but everything else, suve
the Constitution itself. T'he announcement, how
ever, was not merely «'arting—it was disgusting.
T'hat he, who owed all the importance he posses=
ses to the wealth and distinetion which the Demo.
cratie party had couferred upon his unworthy fa
ther, should have been the first to proclaim its
dissolation,” with the exnltant spirit of a bad, re
cvengeful and ungrateful heart, was one ol those
Cacts, which not only stamped the character of the
Cian, but excited the disgust of all honorable men,
l The tmul, cat like eantion of the father, has been
sueceeded by the andacity of the son, who has
lately reiterated the same announcement in his
!lum-r to the Free Soil Convention at Herkimer.
- An assertion, so perseveringly insisted upon, de=
sérves a passing investigation of the facts estub-
Nishing the “decline aund fall” of our party, so
vannungly proclaimed,
Al things in nature are slow, both in their
growth and their decline. The Democratic party
was not relieved from this universal law, and be
gan to be “dissolved” as far back asthe year 1544.
In that year, the Democratic Convention met at
Bultimore, und finding that old Van Buren had
fallen into the views ot “the secret eircular,” and
was opposed to the acquisition of T'exas, they con
cluded that a man who was unwilling to extend the
area of the Constitution, over a willing and magni
ficent territory, was a poor representative of the
Demoeratie feelings of his conntrymen. They
accordingly nowminated James K. Polk for the
Presidencey, leaving Mr. Van Buren to chafe with
disappointment in his hateful and unwilling retire
ment. “I'his was the first step in the “decline and
fall” of the Democratie party—buatits “dissolution”
was not yet complete, becanse 1t was deewmed
quite probable tiat Young Hichory was made of
such pliant stafl’ that the parronage of the Gov
ernment might be employed to procrastinate, if
not to prevent the day of its final dissolution Dut
Mr. Polk refused to make Mr Flagg Secretury
of the Treasury. and the patronage. that sure sup
port of party life, upon which Van Buren had al
ways relied, fell into the hands of Mr Walker,
who, unfortwnately, it would scem for the contin
ued vitahity of the Demoeratie party, did not dis
pense it among those who preferred that * the lone
star of Texas" should crave the proteciion of Eng
laud rather than shine 1 the Awernican constella:
vion. Poor Flagg was razeed down to the Secre:
taryship of a Rail road Corporation, finally sliding
into sume position, of wlncfn the newspapers have
given us no account. This was the second step in
the “‘decline and full” of the Democratic party,
and the faithful historian will record, that nothing
then saved it from utter dissolution, except the
condescension of Mr. Batler, who became Distriet
Attorney for the United States at the rate of $6OOO
per annum. The patient. howesver. was stagger
g nnder these repeated attacks, and was then
saved only by the solicitude of its friends. They
thought and {mped that if young Van Buren could
be sent Minister to Russia, with $£12.000 salary
and ontfit. the patient would be restored to entire
convalescence. He wax burning with a hely pas
sion lor the canse of hnman freedom, wlich would
have been largely, and perbaps safely, gratified,
by a residence near the couart of the Czar. He
applied for the appointment, but Polk, sad to re
late, stubborn as old Jackson, and of much the
same prineiples, not only refused his application,
but dismissed his friend Butler from oflice. This
wis the third step in the “decline and fall ;" and
how the Democratic party ever survived its death
wound, and was then saved from utter “*dissolu~
tion,” ean only be accounted for by that singular
tenacity to life which belongs to ull created things.
The time, however, had not yet arnived for an
open wur upon the Dewoeracy. The Conven
tion was soom to meet for the nowination of a
President, and who could tell that, if properatten:
tion were paid to the primary meetings, the Dele
gates, selected fresh from the people, would not
recognize the paramonnt claims ot Mr. Van Bu
ren to that high distinetion, and thereby save the
Demoeratic party 7 The Convention did meet at
Baltimore in 184% and another of those “untoward™
events, which had marked the late career of Mr,
Van Buren, oceurred. Van Buren was laid aside
~Cass and Butler were nominated—and the
Democratic masses rejoiced that they should enter
upon the campaign with standard-bearers who, by
their services in the Senate and o the field, had
covered the nation with glory.
Prorvecrion axp e Wnies.—At the mo
ment when the Whigs are trying to bring back
the whole protective system, and when they are
constantly prating that the home market is better
for us than a foreign market, the North American
receives a letter from London, which contains the
following view of the subject—a view highly im
portant to our producers—and gives ita place in
its editorial columns. Read and reflect. A vol
ume of comment would not make this plain fact
stronger.
I'he Herald then brings forward and cowmnpares
the tariffs of the two countries and the tables of
exports and imports. It shows that great Britain
and her dependencies actually consnme two-thirds
of the whole exports of the United States, and no
less than %4 per cent. of our exports of bread
stuffs. Asto the Cotton trade, in the twelve
years endiog with 43, the value of the cotton im
ported into this country from America, amounted
to £130,834212, giving an anwnual average of
seven millions; during the same term the exports
frow this conntry 1o America scarcely exceeded
the annual average of seven millions sterling In
the matter of shipping too, of all our exports, 69
per cent. are shipped in American bottoms, and
31 per cent. by the vessels of all loreign countries:
of our whole imports, 85 per cent. are received
by American ships, and 15 per cent. by the ships
of all other nations. The l':rald arks, therefore,
which of the two countries Great Britain and
America, is the more necessary to the other; and
it answers, that the United States is much more
independent of England than she is of them; and
the Herald declares that the policy of the one
country and the poliecy of the other, have both
contributed to this result: that the free trade policy of
England has ruined British interests, whilst it has
promoted the wealth and power of the great American
Republic. 'l'he Herald of yesterday returns to the
subjeet, and in another long leading article, shows
the evil effects of free trade in Great Britain, and
the sad condition of her foreign trade.
LETTER OF GEN. CASS TO GEN. GARIBALDI.

My Dear Sik :=1 welcome yon to this land
of freedom. May it always be the land of hospi=-
tality to the unfortunate exile, driven by the per.
secutions of arbitrary power to seck refuge in the
new world from the tyrants of the old.
General, you possess the regard and the sympa
thy of the American people, and you well merit
this distinction. You raised the standard of liber
ty on the Capitoline hill, and history will do jus
tice to your noble eflorts to maintain it there, to
revive the spirit and the freedom of ancient Rowe,
anid the monuments of power and glory. It is
not suecess that hallows a canse ; it is the prinei=
ple involved in it. You yielded to an overwhelm
ing loree ; to unother descent ol’ the Ganls npon
Italy But you preserved yonr own high charac
ter, and yon preserved also the respect of every
believer in the rights of man throngh the world
But such efforts as those of the Roman people,
though unsuceessful, are not useless. The batle
of freedom mav be lost once and azain, but it will
vel be won, and man restored to the rights which
God has given him. _
I thank you, General, for your letter, and for
the enclosure from Mr. Hyatt, though you need
no introdaction to an American. Your glorious
exertions, followed by misfortune, borne with
equanimity, are a passport to the hearts and home
of my conntrymen.
I should be happy to see yon in Washington,
and to express to you in person those sentiments
of respect and regard. which Imuast now pat cold

and fuithfully, your friend and servant.
