Give the people the due re ward for work well done, and preserve an even scale between 'skilled" and "unskilled' labor. If a man is "green" do not think for that reason, he should always receive the wages paid to a "green" hand. Kemember that he is not a brute, but a human being like yourself, thut he has in all probability just as high as pirations as you, that he may have a tamily which he wishes to educate and bring up. Give him the advantage of the doubt, if doubt there be, and do not treat him like a slave, who is b und to you body and eoul. Another question arise. How can a man take the interest in his work which is tmCfrfsary for its good perfornia'C and feel at the same time that he is locked upon not as an human being but as an animated machine to pr form so many peculiar motions The on i Is caused by torpid liver, which prevents diges tion and permits food to ferment and putrify in the stomach.

Manufacture your raw cotton nere-in the South where it is grown and in addition to saving .the freight on it to your northern factory and back, you will have cheap labor. People here will work for almost nothing, and they will sell the time which ought to be valuable, dirt cheap. In tact, gentlemen, if you are shrewd and drive a hard bargain w.ithrthem, you can get two tor the price of one. Another ex. celleut thing is, gentlemen, they they can't get away from you. They can hardly live on what you pay them now, and they will not dare to go on a strike aud btop the production of weath for you. If they should be so un wise as to do that, d not be at all worried. There are thous and and thousands of negroes who are just climbing over each other to take the place of white labor, and, gentlemen, those ne groes will work for less than the whites, if you only set them the price. &c. &c. - And this is the way they write and all the while proclaim with with exalted boastings of what great things they are doing for the South. Hoes the South want to bo a second edition of Ireland with her hords ot half starved and halt-naked people? Is it ot any advantage to the South to have a system like this engrdted upon hei? Would it be ot advantage to any country jii any part of t lie world? No, the South does not want tins civilization which does not civil ize. If her people are to be given wages which reduce them to a condition t f pauperism, she v.j l ii. ;v. r g;t out of. the rut of iimcry iulo which she is now I luugcd. which is fully as galling conn stunt labor ajid a bare sub sistence? We could write columns upon this subject, but will not harass our readers any longer. It is a pitiable state of affairs when the manufacturer bus no sympathy with those who work for nim. Crush them, starve them, humble them into submis sion because there are others who will take their place if they rebel, seems to be part of the creed of the dominant factors ol our Doastcu civilization, nut in the name ot common humanity, i i do not claim as a merit wnat is a palpable it jury. We are glad to receive a copy of the Governor's me-sajre from Mr. J. J. Dykee, Representative from this County. We notice that he has introduced a bill pro hibiting attorneys from going on bail bo-ids in criminal cases. We th'.nk Mr. Dvkes will make a good record, and we hope he will not forgtit local option and enforced attendance at schools. We are glad there is to k a proper settlement ot who is elects ed Governor, and we hope for the good name of the Stwte that the farce of two years airo he not be not repeated. In every in stance, no matter whom it mny strike, let the punishment of the otfender be swift and sudden. If any election officers violated their oath, any man impersonated an-. other, any officer of any kind did wrong, give him what he de serves, a proper punishment. The office of Governor of this State of Tennennee had better re main vacant for a few years that that thia constant cry ot fraud," fraud be not maintained. But the worst of it is, that when the I fraud is found out, nothing is done to prevent its reoceurence. It the Legislature of two years ago hud acted as good citizeus instead of partzans, the coutest of this year might not have been neceeswry, but the population ol the penitentiary would doubtless have been much augmented. We want fair, honest elections and nt thing else, aud we want a Legislature which is equal to iis duties Htid can paa a law which the simplest can understand. So far as this County n con cerned the election in the 7th district where we voted seemed to us to be conducted fairly, and the proportion of the vote of the Couuty, 3,000 for 15,000 popula tion seemed about right. , How no matter how it comes out,n we want a tu1!, fair and hon est investigation, if it takes the Legislature until August to 'get it through, but don't let the ot tenders whoever they may be es cape.
