Labor nnd Capital.UY MTA U A UN 111 Y HA Yl.lttS,

111 i u to un SrntiTPAi. Rni'i'iu.tdi I have not written to you tor sumo time, but have not been unobsorvan I of what was passing. I am pained to notion tho exceedingly ultra course (hut tha Hiii'ttnt.to Is Inking In the ease of Labor w> Capital. 1 do not dispute your right In oondnet your paper ns you will, nor to say and do wliat yon please, as I think every onn should have that* privilege, as long as It confileta not with the frue Aupplnsss of others, ami ns you have al­lowed so many to speak upon tha one side of tho subject, I doubt not, you will lie toll' enough to welcome a few words from me, a frw /rtowf to all i^fhi'iu nnd'pt'Oj/)'#**, upon anoth­er view of tho same, 1 think yon are taking dangerous and untenable grounds In In el ting this revengeful,distrustful tool* lag among the masses, against the men that hold capital, and that employ, systematlae, nod assist (hose masses. Articles that to mo, are devoid of philosophy, have been frequently suon upon tho pages of your paper—nud I sny this not !u anger, hut In sorrow, nor merely In a spirit of toult finding, for f desire most earnestly the continued existence of tho ItaiMioiiKt, and sympathise with Its rolhrinalory spirit (hough 1 cannot, eonselontlously, with your mflntisp of carrying out this onn department. You know well, even If tho thousands of your readers do not, that I am In earnest In desiring tho greatest good (o a l t h u m u H t ty , nnd not to any one class, as some unacquainted might Judge mo, par- ttoularly If their Idas he on the opposite side from mine.

You assume the ground, ns I understand you, that all capital In possession of corporations or Individuals, Is so mui'A wrongfully taken front those who portovih the physi­ol part of tho labor (hat brings It, A very little thought,

It Noams to me, must ovorturn this Idea In the mind of the candid person, There aro very tow monied men In this whole country, who have not risen from the ranks of physical Labor, This Is portoQtly demonstrable, They have risen In most eases by their own unaided exertions, and ituHiV whoro they do, by their own exoi'lleus. People who have to be bolstered up, In order to alt up at all, are very liable to Iuvym tho pillow collapse, and they toll fiat on their banks. But If they ere their own pillow, and stay, and baek-hono, the winds may howl, and tliu tempest* descend nnd beat upon them, and they will not toll, for

they are founded upon a||roel(, What do Igmunniby tklin Why, simply that the way Is always open to porsoverafll In tlvls Country, Industry Is always rewarded, Keeooinj always nourishes, Temperance always suecoods, and fin termination Is always tho victor In any legitimate tr ia ln strength, If persons have a backbone to continence with ll\oy will make men or women i If they have not, they w(n make inaohlueii and men, women and mauhlues, !■ all use to I hi this world, We have the elements of Okf own greatness within us, and It Is as dishonorable In u«to desire to take from others the results of their own sli lucnts, ns It Is to steal goods from our neighbor. ICsehjfl will lake bis part, each will find Ida level In Min nation

| course of things. This law la perfectly nnavohlahloi All men are not urefited equal, the eonilltutlon to timeout rim notwithstanding i except In a Political view, and that wH of oourio, what the Constitution was talking about, All men are not fit to govoru. Whoever cannot govern Idflk self, cannot wisely .legislate or control others, It la true, I many are governing the people that ought not, hut th itii j the toult of a foolish people who send had .nUlcers, loil|«i| of good quea, to represent them and make and adndulilgl their law rtor them. Let us learn hotter.

People aro developed differently. One person Is J d i tu l good (u sptcM, wo will say, aa another | but wo know the babe la a minor aud hat fit to rule Iho man, aud so many mou aud women are minors and unt fit to rule the Nnltflu neither to rule capital, Thank heaven I there Is no liw, neither moral uor political against growth, 1C vary ess may grow alLhe cau, aud oooupy the highest uu'imtsry, i|fl well as moral slatlgu lit society, (hat It Is possible tor blu to attain tm If you set a pan of new milk you will ok*]

I sorvo all gradoi of excellence lu ll, from tho lowest strati 1 of iklin-iullk to tho thick, puro cream, which Is Its crown-1 log glory, This Is au emblem of what society Is, at loy ouo stage i not of what It muy bo | for tho sktin-inllk uiiyl not, by any possibility, over become cream, but tho matt, though standing poorest In the status of monied life, may bo* come tho ersoni or that life, by virtue of tho heavenly anfi unlimited germ of development within him. By icachloi | what I have soon advocated by tho writers tor your papor, you aro stirring up bad blood between tho employers and tho employed. Why not teach them that the way Is opsa 1 to oaoh to Attain what any ono has, If they will only uis application, Why not tell (hem that they, too, may bo* i oomo Independent of tholr present surroundings, If they j will only praalleo frugality aud tomporauoe, and pises their altootlooi on some shining mark, and icork tor Ufa Every quo can command commensurate compensation la this country tor Labor. It Is lu demand, and will suroly 1 regulate Itself, Lot men an women render themselves

I competent to take any posltloUi and tho position Is always attaliiablo, and tho pap with It. There Is no need of any* body working tor #1.60 or (fi.00 per flay, Go to work mao> tolly, aud render yourselves isorfA mors, and you will easily command It lu the market value. There Is a continued de­mand tor Improvement, and some ouo will supply It, If you do not.

How have tho Capitalists of this groat country, (tho ftotfy I of thorn), oomo by tholr capital? By hard, unremitting physical labor, to commence with. No eight hours legisla­tion tor them i and had there burn, they would not have noticed It i they were a law unto thorn solve#, They pro* I longed tholr hours, over and above what was healthy and well tor tholr physical systems, and, saving a few hundreds of tholr earnlugs, Invested It to tho host of their ability, nnd still kept on watching and working, until they have accumulated what you would flow take from them and dis­tribute among those who boro uo burdeu In tho heat of the day, but were oontout to cat, aud drluk, and sleep, and eat, and drink, aud sloop, year after y ear: who have Indeed as yet developed no business tael beyond that of doing what they ore told to do, and shown Aoiv to dm And when they

(have attained to a little competence, do they thou lay keek Pupon tholr oars, and only lauguldly reach out tho hand and '

accept the gold that pours Itself Into It? No seldom that It Is only tho fivsplfoH, nud not the role. When the men, employed and paid neoorfllng to their capacity, have fin­ished their day's work, they go to a good night's sleep, free ; from oaro, until the morrow's dawn i but the employer 14 often obliged to use, not only the hour* of the day but muoh of tho night In arranging tor contingencies and pre­paring tor emergencies, and often la the least Independent man of tho two. Thero should ho an equal Justice Admin­istered, lu our judgment of the two parties.

Every ouo Is not capable of oond noting business and taking responsibilities In that line, When he become* so tho same tendency that makes tho cream rise, will Just si assuredly bring him to Ills proper level, and he will thou conduct his own business In Ills own way,

Muanilino, lot us not bo Jealous of each other. Ilucauso there are so many mou lu tho world, who hy superior abili­ties, which are undeveloped In me, have risen to stations of trust, power nud usefulness, why should 1 envy them f Who j prevents me from boeonilng more valued, even, In society, than they? Why not resolve that I will, also, attain to the highest In my power, Instead of wasting my energies In foolish raiding* and JoaUnisles? Beth Paine hath truly said lu Ills Prospootus, "A ll that Is wanted Is Education." But tor the suAv of Education, lot tho had elements In every man's nature sleep, and not bo roused hy imp rod table fiiiilt-flndlngs. It Is a (rus niJfiftitfon only, that Is wanted, to make us an Independent, united, and prosperous people, aud ooipNct* will never aceompltsh the end* Let ui not ho blind, and work against our own best good.

ly instrumental in organizing the Lyceum in that place nearly two years ago, speaks tbns cheeringly of its works and prospects, under date of August 5th:

“ Although the Lyceum has not been organized two years, its success is no longer a matter of doubt, but we regafd it as one of the permanent Institutions of our city. It num­bers about Seventy pupils, and was never in a more pros­perous condition than now. Who shall estimate the amount of good that this band of devoted teachers are ac­complishing by instilling into the minds of our youth high­er views of life, and what its duties are, and ideas of Har* monial Philosophy, which, instead of chaining the mind by tenets that are at war with reason, unfolds alLits powers, and teaches the true religion ? I have made many invest­ments, hut never any other which produced so great inter­est and such large returns as the amount Invested, in organ­izing the Children's Progressive Lycenm at Richmond.

“ Our Lycpnm meets Sundays at 10 o’clock A. M., in Hen­ry Hall, and the Friends of Progress hold their meetings at the same place, immediately after the Lycenm."

LYOBUM PIC N IC .

On Saturday, July 6th, the Lyceum held its first picnic for this season,and another on Saturday 11th inst. Judging from the Notices bf the local papers, the Lycenm has taken Rich­mond by storm, and holds undisputed sway. The Telegram of July 13th, says editorially:

“ The pionic given by the chlldrep and the friends of the Progressive Lycenm, at Reeves’ Grove just east of the city, last Saturday, was the greatest success of anything of the kind we ever attended. As the long procession moved out of the city, carrying their hundred and fifty flags, led by the Richmond Silver Cornet Band, and all looking so bright and joyous, it was a handsome sight. Tho waving oi handkerchiefs from the houses and the smiles of the crowds on the pavements, showed that the most of onr citizens approved of the starry colors, and wished the mer­ry children a happy day. At the grove the national flag was hoisted, and soon the laughter ringing through the woods, and the glee of happy, bright-eyed children, rolling in the cool shade, and playing along the winding paths, the friendly hum of the old folks’ voices, gs they gathered aronnd the great old trees; all these sounds mingling with the sweet strains from the silver band, made the grove an unrivaled scene of freedom and happiness.

“After a magnificent dinner, that could scarcely be equal­led for variety and richness, short and appropriate ad­dresses were delivered by John T. Bliss and James Smelser. The speaking was followed by some of the exercises of the Lycenm, alter which a nice, smooth spot in the grove was cleared away, and all who wished were allowed to “ trip the light, fantastic toe" in harmony with the sweetest music;11 The whole day passed off in the most pleasant manner, with nothing whatever to mar the enjoyment. The children all say they had the best kind of a time, and the older- folks and strangers that witnessed it say they never saw a more social picnic.” .

The Humming Bird, of the samo date, contains the fol­lowing report of the same occasion *

The children of the Lycenm, together with their parents, Mumbled at Henry Hall on last Saturday, and from there,

6 conveyances provided for the occasion, headed by

the Richmond Cornet Band, with overy child and adult carrying tho starry bannor of tho froo, tho emblem not only of physical, hut also mental froodom, thoy|started for M. Heovos' Grove, situated oast of tho city.

“ As they moved along tho itroot, men, womon and chil­dren gathered to witness thorn pass, and from many of tho windows of tho housos, they wore recognized by tho waving of handkerchiefs.

“ Novorwns a moro beautiful day, and seldom, If over, have such morry folks collected for tho purposo of enjoying a holiday. They arrived at tho grove about olovon o'clock, when tho company, olthor swinging, playing at porno game appropriate to tho occasion, ongaged In social conversation, or olio listening to tho soul-stirring music discoursed by tho band, enjoyed thomsolvos until dlnnor time.

"Dinner was a vory Interesting occasion—ono of tho main foataref. An abundnneo, and of all the substantial! and delicacies of tho soason, was propared wub whloh to satis­fy tho hungor.

“ After tho dlnnor, John T. Bliss, Esq., and James Smolser add ressed the company. Tho addross of Mr. Bliss was short and pointed, containing many wholesome troths. Ho said that no dospotlsm Is so fearful as a spiritual despotism, and when this tromoudons embodiment, having Its centre at Rome, ns Catholicism and Protestantism, so similar that it roqulros an acute Intellect to note tholr difference —not but that Protestantism, when under tho load of Martin Luther, battling for tho right of private Jndgmcnt, was a mighty forward step, ono that would, if adhorod to, dispel tho men­tal gloom that hangs liko a dark pall over so largo a por­tion of humanity, bat which has long since been discarded, and If a person daroe to think boyond tho narrow and dead creeds of tho churches, ho is Id a groat mo&suro ostracized— when theso two, twin sisters of darkness, recolvo tholr death­blow and stoggor to their grave, let it bo understood that in that grave lies the embodiment of all dospotlsm, all ty­ranny, all deviltry. But from that grave, like tbo Pbcenlx from bis ashes, shall come forth a savior,—reconstruction —who shall no longer crown tho people with thorns, with persecutions, with Ignorance, bat with the starry, spark­ling dladom of human brotherhood. He closed, by saying thoso who bollcve that tbo present system of orthodoxy is wrong, and is only productive of evil, should Join the cru­sade against it, and enlist for tho war. Wo may lose repu­tation, bat in the estimation of tho crced-bonnd, we have already lost that. Wo may lose money, or we may not make it, hut we shall exchange tbs treasures—of earth, which moth and rnst corrupt, and Invito tbo thief to Steal, for the more solid and enduring treasure, a conscience void of offense towards God and roan. We shall make onr every day Ilfs a work of benevolence, and consequent happiness.

“ The times are auspicious. Everywhere the tongue, the pon, and sword are ranging on tho side of man, on the side of progression, and against oppression of all kinds, whether It be of creeds or tyrants. Old creeds and customs are fast losing their hold on the public mind ; intelligence, in tho masses, is coming to onr aid, and onr way to success is not so rugged as it may to some seem.

“ Onr efforts at first will bo smallest, but small helps, If rightly given, make tho impulse stronger. Work on, the day-streaks already illumine the eastern horizon, and if we only remain true to ourselves, to our fellow man, onr re­ward will be great.

“ Mr. Smelser spoke of progression. His remarks were exceedingly well-timed and Instructive. After bis remarks, the members of the Lyceum assembled and went through Dio Lewis’ exercises in light gymnastics, after which they executed several of their beantifnl marches, keeping step to the inspiring music famished by the band.

“ After these exercises, a dance was next in order for tbo older persons, and foot-hall, swinging, playing base, and drop the handkerchief for the little folks.

“ Abont six o'clock, all started for home. We have sel­dom witnessed a more beautiful sight than was presented by the Lycenm, as they rode into the city. The band play­ing some of its most axcellent music, the stars and stripes flattering in the breeze, with the merry looks of the bear­ers, was all in all such a sight as never before was witness­ed in our city, and the spontaneous feelings which arose were only those of Joy, gladness, and a God speed. As they stopped in front of the ball, the hand struck np that tone, so dear to all Americans, and lovers of liberty throughout the world, the “ Star-Spangled Banner," as the grand finale to one of the most splendid picnics that ever went out of onr City.”

We congratulate the Richmond Lycenm in Its great suc­cess. We know somewhat of its straggles for existence, which makes so great a triumph donbly effective. The good workers there only have to be as faithful as they have been, which, considering their added strength, will carry them over, or through, all obstacles.

The Westward Star.Tlicodojo Tilton.ln the Indejitntlenl of August 1st, says;“ The West is twonty years ahead of the East; not In

wealth, in culture, In roflpornont; hut In energy of pro­gress, lo warmth 6f tornporarnont, and In that sagacious Instinct Which Is quick to recognize the spirit of the age. Herotofora wo have boon In tho hahlt of looking to the East as tie fountain of radical Ideas; hereafter we must look to tlje West. As a striking Illustration, compare the Constitutional Conventlon-of New York with tho Constitu­tional Convention of Michigan. One of those States Is old —tho other, now ; one, tho richest of the thirty-six—the other, a till at tho beginning of thrift; one a leader In finance and political corruption—tho othor, noted for the honesty of Its logljlaturo, and the progressive spirit of Its represen­tative citizens. Tho test of public'men and measures, whether Ip Now York or Michigan, If no longer tbo Negro question, j Not that this question is settled—for It is still unsettled.! Tho Spirit of .Caste, liko King Charles the Sec­ond, Is an 1 unconscionable tlrno In dying.’ ■ Nevertheless, It must soon come to Its end. Already a now question be­gins to ru gn in Its stead. This is tho question of Woman —her disabilities, hor wrongs, her rights, her franchise. This Is sobn to ho the tcst-qnestlon of American polities. It Is soon (to divide parties, as they were formerly divided by tariffs; and banks, and slavery. It is soon to be the foundation of political platforms, the substance of public speeches, and tbo universal topic of tbo press. Neverthe­less, though It Is tho greatest public question of modern times, it li not ono which is greatly to shake the nation. It is to gl[c rise to one of the gentlest of all popular agita­tions. I t will

‘ Otorooffls an liko a anmmor cloud,Without our spools! wonder.’

It Is to come to victory without passing through a tedious battle, ibo East Is ripening; tho West is already ripe. New York still grovels like a lark in her meadow-nest, but Michigan has already mounted toward the morning. Other Weatera Htates will soon be following on the wing. The rocent vojo in the British Home of Commons astonished two nations with the cheering fact that this great represen­tative booy could count 73 votes (against 188) for Woman's Suffrage, j How long before those 73 votes will swell Into a majority we shall not venture to predict, except to say that the years cannot be many. Queen Victoria may live to see a sation, that already entrusts a woman with the crown, at fast entrusting a woman with the ballot. A few days ago, iwhen tho question of suffrage, without distinction of sex, came to a vote in the Constitutional Convention of New York, the result showed 19 for, and 125 against i t ; a smaller proportional minority tn u in England; large enough, however, to exceed onr most sanguine expectations. In the Michigan Constitutional Convention, at Lansing, the word 1 male' was last week stricken out by a vote of 29 to 261 Bravo I Let us band over to Michigan onr word * Ex­celsior.’ It is ber's by right of championship. But no. There is already a previous claimant. This is Kansas—that young knight-errant of liberty!—that hero of many battlee for the Good Cause I ' Honor to whom honor Is due I* Kan­sas is the bearer of the palm. We re-echo the words of John Stnart Mill, jpst addressed to a distinguished citizen of Topeka: ‘ History will remember that one of the young­est states in the civilized world has been the first to adopt a measnre of liberation destined to extend all over the earth, and to be looked back to (as is my fixed conviction) as one o f the most fertde in beneficial consequences o f all the im­provements yet effected in human affairs.''",,

TJoivernl Suffrage.To the peojjlo o f the Htate o f HUnoU /

Wo, ths undersigned, convinced that oar Republican for® of Government Is the best known to the world, are never­theless fully aware that Its principles have only the most limited application. They have existed in theory unsup­ported by practice.

Unchallenged, slavery has occupied the land hi the name of Liberty. The declaration, that " all men are created equal," has been shunned, and, In legislation for woman, studiously Ignored.

With the view of relieving this fundamental statement of human liberty from the charge of being a practical lie, and not less to affirm an abstract natural right, which Is above all mere distinction of sex and color, and knows no aristo­cracy save that of intelligence and virtue, in addition to tbo universal franchise Just secured to colored men by national legislation, we would recommend such a modification of our Htate Constitution as will admit woman, equally with man, to all ths privileges of the Elective Franchise,

In direct ratio with tbs enlargement of woman's sphere, roan has ever been elevated, society evolved, aod govern­ment prospered.

Monarchies have conceded her fitness to rule, but Repub­lics, tbns far, have endeavored to frame perftct statute# without her aid. They have allowed bet Intuitive Datura no political representation, hence oars is but the material half of a true government, lacking soti and inspiration. An idle spectator, she is compelled to see public affairs con­trolled, generally, by men of low Instincts and vile habits, with no power to escape the effect# of their decisions. Taxed, without representation, denied admission .to many departments of education, and to the more lucrative em­ployments, deprived of the guardianship of her children, her position is, In a very great degree, one of slavery—her grievances, far greater than those onr Revolutionary ances­tors so bravely fought to repel.

In these respects onr boasted equality is an unmixed usurpation. Until woman shall attain equal power with man, in all the relations of life, It is as Impossible for ns to arrive at the symmetrical proportions of a real democracy, as it is for a part to comprehend the whole. On the con­trary, when she is advanced to the fall enjoyment of common rights, then will the political atmosphere be so purified of existing corruptions, that persons of exalted moral sentiments will be honored by election to office.

To all who would aid in attaining this grand object, wo appeal, asking that yon correspond with this committee, work vigilantly In your several localities, to form societies, create and increase public sentiment In this direction, cir­culate petitions, and cause to be enrolled so great a number of signatures for her enfranchisement, as shall carry tbo next Constitutional Convention of Illinois triumphantly In 1U behalf.

Abraham Lincoln’s Dream.In Mr. Pierrepont’s speech in the Surratt trial he said

“ Tbo assassin of a ruler never has escaped, though be has taken * wings of morning and fled to the uttermost parts of the earth.’ On the morning of April 14th Mr. Lincoln called his Cabinet together. He had reason to he Joyful, but he was anxious to bear from Sherman. Grant was there, and he said ' Sherman was all right,' but Mr. Lincoln feared, and related a dream he had had the night before—a dream which he bad whenever a disaster was to happened. The members of the Cabinet who heard that relation will never forget it. A few hours afterward Sherman was not heard from hut the dream was fulfilled. A disaster had befallen the Government, and Mr. Lincoln spirit’s returned to the God who gave it. The dream was fulfilled. It was to this pur­port : He seemed to he at sea in a vessel, that was swept along by an irresistible current toward a maelstrom, from which it seemed no power could save her. Faster and fas­ter the whirling waters swept the fated ship toward the vortex, until,' looking down into the black abyss, amid the deafening roar of the waves, and with the sensation of sinking down, down, down an unfathomable depth, the terrified dreamer awoke. The same terrible dream Mr. Lincoln bad four times; first, before the first battle of Ball Run, again before the second disastrous defeat at the same place, again before the battle of Murfreesboro, and finally, as above mentioned on the night before his own assassina­tion. Mr. Lincoln had at last come to recognize the dream as an omen of some grave disaster.!' .

Its gentle voice* whisper love And mingle with our prayers.

Sweet hearts around us throb and beat,Sweet helping hande are stirred.

And palpltatee the veil between,With breathings almost heard.

The silence, awfal, eweet and calm,They have no power to break;

For mortal words are not for them Tv utter or partake.

Bo thin, so soft, so eweet they glide,Bo near to press they seem,

They loll us gently to our rest,They melt into our dream.

And in the hush of rest they bring,'Tie easy now to see

How lovely and how eweet a pass The hour of death may be.

To close the eye and close the ear,Wrapped in a trance of biles,

And, gently wrapped In loving arms,To swoon to that—from this—

Scarce knowing If we wake or sleep,Scarce asking where we are,

To feel all evil sink away.All sorrow end all care.

Sweet sounds aronnd na I watch ue still;Press nearer to ottr aide,

Into onr thenghte, into onr prayers,With gentle helpings glide.

Let death between us be u naught,A dried and vanished stream;

Your Joy be the reality, .Our suffering life the dream.

Woman Suffrage.Wendell Phillips in a late number of the Anti Slavery

Standard thus criticises the relation of Mr. Greeley to re­form in general, and especially to the woman question:

Woman Suffrage was refused by the New York Consti­tutional Convention; the vote being 125 to 12. Gsonoi Wil­liam Curtis made a vigorous effort to rouse the Conven­tion to its duty. Ho—the Stuart Mill of the Conven­tion—and his eighteen honored comrades earned the grati­tude and respect of all whose faces look forward, and who dare to speak what they think. Mr. Greeley, of course, op posed this claim for woman, as he has always opposed ever; claim made for the negro, till compelled to submit by out side pressure. We know of but two subject#—'Temperanc and Vegitables—on which Mr. Greeley ever ventured 1 have an opinion of his own. A few years Will give tl woman question strength enough to embolden him ai other time-serving politicians to venture its advocacy Courage, comrades; the Tribune will Join us just befi dawn.

From the first Instant of recorded time the world been enslaved by doctrines. Society has always sough torture truths Into systems. Conflicting theories 1 ensanguined the world. No age or People has ever tho of doubting that some system of religion, discovers undiscovered, was the true one; that some scheme of vatlon was Indispenslble to happiness eternal. And now are men learning that happiness is a law of immutable, Inviolate, unavoidable, the IffiHspenaible ny of mind; that all elements and all conditions are only to that end; that they cannot destroy the la* destroy themselves, but can only destroy the harm their relation to I t; that to he in right relation to laws is to be good and happy, and to be fat wrong n to them, constitutes ail sin and produce# all sufferin man can never injure God, but can injure himael

These are some of the simple and sublime tead the so-called Barmonial Philosophy.—Thomas H. I

Happiness is attainable by every man who is wise enough to refuse to sacrifice the substance to the shadow.

The world stands by every old Ue till It is found untenable, and opposes every new truth till It proves irresistible.

Labor and Capital—Bejoinder.We very gladly print the Article on Capital vs. Labor, o'n

the eecond page of this issue, not only because we know the writer to be sincere, but became we advocate no views In the R e p u b l ic that we are not willing to have controverted, Agi­tation of thought, not the fear of the Lord, la the beginning of wisdom.

Our immediate aims, in efforts on this Labor question, are, •imply stated, let, The equal dignity of any end nil labor. 2d, Co-operation of laborers and classes. 3d, Equitable die- tributlon of products, bated upon the amount of labor dono, and actual wear and tear of materials used. We are sorry to see a “ true friend to all reform and progress*' theoretical­ly opposed to each and all of these specifications.

1st, I t la virtually assumed by our contributor, that cer­tain rights pertain to certain grades of labor; or, if other wise stated, that one who does the higher work has legiti­mate advantage over those who do the lower, and thus rightfully appropriates the proceeds. This grades labor, drgrading a part, and exalting another p a r t; by which all the despotism of a king might be sanctioned.

2d. The milk figure, as presented, is exactly ao llluatra tlon of all competitive systems. The cream, as an entity)

'is, by virtue of what It has left behind. The milk, bowover bloc, contributed to make the cream; but the cream never looks back to sweeten the sorry condition of the milk.“ Keep what you've got, catch what you can “ Every one for himself, and the devil catch the hindermost.”

3d, All those who have “ risen from the ranks” testify that the first thousand dollars cost as much, or more, per­sonal effort than the next two thousand. This is tru e ; and for the very bad reason that the accumulated one thousand, earns more (net) than the man, lo a given tim e; thus more than doubling the power of one mao as against another, e v e n WHERE MUSCLE AND BRAJV ARB EQUAL ; giving E fergQ and rapidly increasing leverage in favor of capital and against muscle and brain. Right here, on this point, lies the difll culty. Money has no creative power in itself and yet, by IU flctitlone value as used, it Is swarded a position supe­rior to all human creative energies.

The Increase of actual wealth in the nation cannot be stated at over three or three and a half per-cent.; yet money, wherever Invested, demands, and receives, ten per cent., or Is considered poorly employed. It is all very easy and smooth when one is up—“cream,1' to encourage blue milk to struggle, and, by virtue of its depleted and overshadowed energies to rise too. But mark: where there is only three per cent, capital created; when one comes up with a ten per cent, momentum, some other one goes down; so the very relation of money to labor to day, compels poverty with an absoluteness unquestionable. Even for a man to amasa wealth a t five per cent. Interest on money, would necessitate the poverty of some other. While very honest men may bold money in large quantities, the best we can say Is, that It was a knavish system of Interest that helped them to It.

In reply farther, we wish to correct some misappre­hensions : 1st, We do not fevor the distribution of money or other aecumlatlon of capitalists. To do this, and continue the present labor system would accomplish no good. The ten per cent, cream would rise to the top again. What we ask, aye, demand, is, that every laborer shall have bis or her just share of what is produced, com­mencing row. 2d, We propose the disturbance of no “ bad blood.” Our ground is precisely a counterpart of that on which Abolitionists fought their thirty years' war. We de­mand “simple and exact justice" as between man and man; to which the Journal o f Commerce and its kin say, that hence­forth lo the distinction of classes, American laborers must more nearly resembA those of European countries; and our contributor says; “ to t the sake of education let the bad elements in every man's nature sleep, and not be roused by unprofitable fault-finding. It Is true education only that Is wanted, * * * and conflicts will never accomplish the end!” Will ten per cent, interest and poverty accomplish It ? Does poverty stir no had blood 9 Under the same cau­tion every true Reforme can retire.

2d, We are not unmindful of the existence of different de­grees of capacity, in men and women, to do, or practice economy; nor were we of the feet that there were colored people at the Booth who longed with different degrees of intensity for freedom. Our people are, largely, what our system* of government and society have made them. > Born under a labor system, fuen and women become, as a rule, what it Indicates them to be; for instance, negro slaves, Irish servants and upper*cru*t American snobbery. This generation will not become equitable co-operators, nor will the present Freed men all become land-owners and refined, cultured men and women. Nevertheless, the principle of Co-operative Industry, the Golden Rule in distributing pro­ducts, and political Freedom, belong alike to all, and are to be withheld from none.

4th. Aye, we will teach that ” the way Is open to each to attain what any one has," providing he has It without of­fence ; but we hope never to encourage persons to seek wealth under our present competitive system of attain log i t ; tor, as sure ae mathematics, ^ one goes op onother com* down, or many are Thereforeiom not »!«*/. ‘•.occccd,’’- * ' d*«*n«in.tton I. not *>*•,»

tho victor," unless, It bo by throwing ono'a soul a^well as body Into the scale against the compotltlvo odds; aufi that la paying too dearly for the bauble. Bettor bo comparatively poor and have a soul, than rich without ono.

5th. Wo apeak of tho compotltlvo system of Capital vs. Labor, not of brain against muaolo. It isn 't bralna that characterizes tho capitalist, nor, wo inslat, Is it actual labor performed that amasses wealth. Tho doinanded Lou per cent Interest, or even half of It, will make a millionaire of a fool, If ho but have a few thousand dollars, as a god! claim­ing sacrifice, and to whom men will pay trlbuto. Give mus­cle and bralua tho place occupied by capital, In the world's estimation, then you will see roon and woman tried by tholr merits, and hopefully, choorfully working. Thou will in­dustry succeed, and determination be victor; amino ono will walk to wealth over the crushed hopes of a hundred brothers and sisters.

Finally, wo approve heartily of much that our contribu­tor says. Her heart sentiment la right, but for some cause she fails to see just the principle and means of competition in our present labor systems, which rigidly prevent nor own good wishes from being practically embodied. In lii»r sym­pathies she is a humanitarian, In her theory, as fart as ox- pressed, she would porpotuatc class labor and extreme pov erty forever; for nothing but a radical chango of jtnithoJ will over lot tho masses up from tho prosent position to which money has assigned thorn. That chango Is Rapidly coming.

Last Ghanoe.The Adventists dose up tho world's business very soon—

this month wo believe. Tho last number of tho World's Crisis, refers again to the Grove meeting to be held St Wii*|bruham, Mass., and. In one article says: “ At this 14 to bo our last, lot us pray that It may be tho best.** Ana la an­other ; “ We expect to meet there only this once more, and then bid tho sacred spot farewell, hoping that wo may meet next in tho paradise of God.”

With what tenacity does a man's religion bold hilii to a point, right or wrong. Accepting, unquestionably the Bible as the word of God, It has been tho oustom to Subject human reason, which is always more or less dlvlnclyjlllura- luated, to tho grossest fallacies In human speculation con­cerning the destiny of the world and mankind ; until It may be said no oue cause has been more effective In retarding our political and social progress. And what Is strange ; no amount of palpable evidence, coming to the knowledge, sets the Judgment aright. Taking the prophesies a | God's foresight of things, revealed to man, what computations have been m ade ! The world V as to burn In 18481 No mistake t Infallible prophesy said so I I t didn’t buro f The prophesy said it woald I I t didn't l t Ono of two'things Is proven, viz. the prophesy is false ; or, beyond compre­hension—not meaning w harit was supposed t o ; which, in either case, proves the Bible, so far, practically Insecure. For, If the will of God be written and cannot bo Interpreted what better than If it had not been written at all ? Time after time has been sot for tho destruction of tho world, all based on Infallible information; and yet there are some thousands In the country, (One hundred and forty-four thousand In the world, is we understand, all God wants saved) overlooking all the facts In the case *, expecting hop­ing!?) That the earths destruction, or that of Its present equipments, will be speedily accompllshedr-wlthln a year at fartherest I If superstition, morbid speculation, prompt­ed by the Bible, weighs more In determining the destiny of worlds than immutable Law and divine Order, ours will probably end In smoke, very soon. But what if It doesn't will the Adventists still cling to their dogma ? Will' they appoint another Grove meeting to bo held a year subsequent to the one? Wc venture, that If there was no hu­man pride ; no dislike to “ come down," no religious ruts to run in, they would n o t; and that Adventism would end in “ smoke ” while the world would go singing on Its way

Still another curious feature of the ease is that hundreds of other sects claiming the Infallibility of the Bible, aud the exactness of tho prophesies—basing all their hope for the future, ahd deriving their thousand and one different and conflicting dogmas from the same book, will chuckle at the dfecomforture of tho Adventists and settle back In their chairs, pews or pulpits with an Increased degree of self- complacency and security. Do they not see that the fail­ure of one party (and the Adventists are as smart as any of them) In an attempt to make a direct application of the ” Word ” is unimpeachable evidence against the basis of the whole ?

We understand that all creeds, or dogmas, are but con­densed theological speculations. History and common sense prove all such to bo practically false; and a very little careful thought will show that as one falls in Its specific application so every other falls In Us; the sum total of all that is left of any in the last analysis being— nothing; or possibly a little universal sentiment, let In through the love of human nature.

Thus It is that socletyls continually outgrowing Its priest Imposed creeds. And we trust the time is close at hand when superstition, speculation, morbid appetites and per­verted desires, will cease to pass current for divine wisdom let down to the earth. Whoever makes common sense his ballast, in religion as well as In finance, will not go far astray ; and surely will not expect ttie world to end In smoke, or be transported to Heaven on flowery beds of ease through the atoning merits of Jesus, or by the exer­tion of any one. We get what we earn, cither in this world or the next.

Rev Robert Gollyer's Mooting!) fit Library Hull.Some of our readors may not be award that what was

onco known as Metropolitan Hall, on tho cornor of Ran­dolph and La Sallo streets, Is now callod Library Hall, aud that Robort Ooliyor, of Unity Church, lectures, or preaches there, without monoy and without prlco, every Sunday evening. Tho rich and tho poor, tho black and the white, tho welt-dressed aud the III-dressed, are all cordially invited to sing, pray, listen and think together. Those mootings are designed for the common pooplo who are content to worship God In a stylo as humble and truly democratic as tholr poorest neighbors. Tho crowd which assemble there servos to show that those who like that stylo of Divine worship are fast increasing In Chicago. M r. Ooliyor, though nominally a Unitarian, Is using his wholo strength to abol

jish all sectarian crocds which serve to croato party spirit and alienate man from bis fellow man.

His subject for next Sunday evening, Is “ 81. Paul's o pcrlenco in tho third heavens, as referred to in tho first five versos of the 12tU Chapter of his Epistle to the Corlntbl atis ”

This subject will, of course, bo interesting to all fit thinkers. Those .live versos contain a very choice Item 1 tho history of human experience. St. Paul Introduces the subject as if It afforded him strong temptations for sulf-gl rlficatlon, which, on the score of expediency, ho was deter mined to rosist; all which is indicated In tho Introductory expression—” It is not expedient for me, doubtless, to glory I will come to visions and rovolationi of the Lord. I know a man In Christ, above fourtcon years ago (whothor in the body I canuot tell, or whothor out of the body I cannot toll; God knowoth)such an one caught up to the third heaven.” Doubtless, the man referred to was St. Paul him self. It was probably then, as now, unpopular to avow any extraordinary spiritual experiences. Without doubt Paul considered blmsolf honored by what had occurrod to him, and knew that If ho plainly detailed It, he would Incur tho incredulity, if not the envy, of his cotemporaries; h therefore states tho case shyly. This piece of biblical his tory is crowded, almost, into a nutshell. It announces hut three simple facts, viz.: That St. Paul know a man who was caught up into the third heavens; that ho heard what was not lawful to utter, and tliat God, not the historian knows whether ho was Id tho body or out. It Is to be hoped that tho Rev. Mr. Collyer will troat this history In matter of fact sort of a way. Ono of the chief questions of Interest involved in this subject Is : Was not St. Paul mis taken ? Was there a man of his acquaintance (eitbor him self or his friend) who was caught up to the third heavens? This answered affirmatively, others follow such a s : Where is the third heavens ? In reaching thore, did this man pass through tho first and the second heavens ? Are there any heavens above tho third heavens? If so, why was not this man taken up to some of the higher heavens, or, la other words, why did he stop at the third ? What was the object of taking him to tho third heavens? Why allow him to see and hear what was going on there, and then prevent him from telling what he saw ? What Is the religious value of this piece of biblical history ? Has any other mor tal been “ caught up to the third heavens? And If so, In what way, bodily or spiritually? If fit. Paul cannot answer that question, have wo any better means of solving It In our age than St. Paul had In his? These are a few of the numerous questions which we shall expect Mr. Collyc will solve for us with his usual ability and candor.

MaximilianIt was unquestionably wrong, in the abstract, to kill

Maximilian, as It is to kill any human being, whatever may be bis offence or misfortune. We see nothing, how­ever, in the average of our civilization, to cause us to won der that Maximilian was shot. If there ever was an ad­venturer be was one. No doubt If there was ever an ambitious tool In the hands of a more ambitious politician, be was one. His acts In Mexico neither indicate that be was wise or humane; and as between the two we should rather by fer fell into the hands of Juarez than of Maxi­milian. We are sorry that Carlotta is insane, are glad that her husband loved her, and spoke of her with his last breath. I t Is the redeeming item of bis eventful life. We think Mexico will be better off without him.

The Chicago Board of Trade.Quito an excitement has been created In business circles

by the arrest of ten prominent members of the Board of Trade, on a charge of fraudulently dealing In grain. The action was brought under the following Sections of a bill approved Feb. 10, 1807, known as an “ Act regulating Warehouse men,” vis /

“ 8ec. 17. All contracts for the sale of grain for future de­livery, except In cases where tho seller is owner, or agent of the owner, of such grain at the time of making the con­tract, and In actual possession thereof, are hereby declared void and gambling contracts, and all money paid In settle­ment of differences on any such contract may be recovered back In the same manner as other money lost In gambling.

I* £eo. 18. All parties to any such gambling contract shall bo deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon convic­tion thereof shall be fined one thousand dollars and Impris­oned not exceeding one year In the county Jail; and one half of said fine shall go to the Informer, who Is hereby de­clared to he a competent witness on the trial of the parties Indicted under this act.

8bo. 10. Any person who shall loan grain or warehouse receipts therefor to any other person to he used for delivery on contracts, or for purposes of speculation merely, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and subject to tho pun* lsbment provided for In the preceding section, and In such cases the informer shall receive half the fine, and be a com­petent witness as aforesaid.

8 k o , 2 0 . In penal proceedings under the two last preced­ing sections, no warehouse receipts shall be received In evi­dence of ownership or possession of grain by the defendant at the time of making such contract; and in all cases, proof on tho part of the prosecution of a contract mode by the defendant for the sale of grain for future delivery shall bo prima facie evidence that such contract was a gambling ono and void,”

These sections had been lately talked of somewhat, but until Saturday no effort was made to carry them Into effect, or to test them.

Tho parties were brought before Justlco Dresser and gave bonds in the sum of $3,000 each to appear before the Re­corders Court at its next session.

Just what will come of this action Is not easy to forsoo. Already oor city papers appear with long editorials defin­ing what is fair and legitimate In trade, and In every article we have yet seen the Board of Trudo has full opportunity to console Itself on the ground of Its correct morals. Nev­ertheless there Is not, probably, In all Chicago so great a gambling “ den” as the Board of Trade Hall,,

Should these parties ho fined and Imprisoned It would he a wonder Indeed ; wo notice, however, that a poor follow was sent to tho Bridewell for thirty days, for attempting to •teal a silver spoon from a restaurant, only last week. All wo ask Is that Justice may be done; which would simply cleanse all gambling dens, not excepting the Board of Trade Hall.

GirculatFrom the Spiritualists and Society of Friends of Progress, at

Lawrence, Kansas, to the Spiritualists and Friends of Pro­gress in the Stats / Creeling s

Believing that an organization of the Spiritualists sad Friends of Progreso In tho State would be of great Impor­tance, we briefly submit some purposes for the same.

1st. To enable all Friends of Human Progress to Co- operate in extending a knowledge of the bceutlfol Philoso­phy of Spiritualism, and Inaugurate it practically.

2nd. Through such organization to enable Spiritualist! and Friends of Progress of different localities to becoai acquainted with each other, which will greetly facilitate visits to our State of good speakers from other localities; a* they could then be readily directed where their labors would bo desired.

3d. To enable tho Splrlturllatt and Friends Of Progress to Jointly labor with tho friends of Freedom everywhere for the adoption of the Constitutional Amendments now pending In our State, and for the better furtherance o( equal liberty, and the common and equal Brotherhood of Mankind.

To this cod we propose holding a State mass Convention at Lawrence, to commence on Saturday, August 24tb, at

10 o'clock A. M., and close on the Sunday evening follow­ing ; and we earnestly Invite the co-operation of Spiritual­ists and Friends of Progress, throughout the State to meet with us.

On receipt of this circular please reply, stating wheth­er or not you have a local organization, and what members would be Interested In each a movement, and whether you hold meetings at stated times.

Our experience, and that of other communities, Is, that it Is best to form legal local, as well as State organiza­tion*, leaving members free In their opinions and beliefe. ]

"A nd woman will rote. It is written in the book of destiny. The right of suffrage will come to her as surely as to the African. A little more of labor, and of the wait­ing which U harder than the labor, then it will come. Suffrage for woman now seems nearer than suffrage for the negro seemed, five years ago. Without one smooth-flow­ing period or bombastic flourish. It is enough to say only : Women will vote. All the fogies In the l ’nited States can­not prevent it much longer. Neither will the day wherein women vote inaugurate the reign of chaos.

We sometimes receive very startling -intelligence from onr exchanges, of events transpiring in onr midst^of which we were happily unconscious. Newspaper itemizing is a great institution.

A Word to Women;WHICH GENTLEMEN ARE NOT FORBIDDEN

TO READ. -f ’ Out of your life there flowg, every day, some spiritual

itfruence as true iu its nature and degree as any ever known. Ybu may never write a book or even a letter; but then, no more did Jesus Christ. No mistake can be greater, than to aappose that I have done my duty by my home, In filling It with plenty; or my children in securing them the beet tlachers; or that I have been true to my marriage vows be­cause I have kept myself pure, and never stinted my wife In her expenses; or to ’church and state because I have voted right on election days, and been in my time a deacon. O, friend! I tell yon unspeakably more is that mysterious and most holy Influence of a sound, elastic, cheerful human soul, in a body to match. I see once in a while a home, in which I am just as sure that it Is impossible for the children to go radically wrong, as it Is forthe planet to turn theoths er way upon her axis. The whole law of their life, of their spiritual gravitation, is fixed by the strong, sweet father and mother, resolute, above all, to preserve this right attraction though there may be less at last in counted dollars.”—Both- erf Collyer.

I suppose there is nothing truer than that, and yet to thousands of good and noble women in American homes, nothing more sad. That “ sound, elastic, cheerful human soul, in a body to match,” is just what they long to be, with an unutterable longing; and yet, as well might they aspire to be one of “ God’s tall angel’s standing in the sun,” Aye, better for aught I know, for death seems to them the easy gate to just that latter condition of bliss. But death Is not their present portion, and meanwhile, what possibili­ties of health or happiness does this world offer them ?

They are wives first, bat what is wifehood to them ? Is it a state of equal, upright, outright enjoyment, such as is necessary to the proper balance and working of their affec- tional nature; or are they practically the slaves of mascu­line passion? The male organism is so arranged as to work evenly on any day of the year, much the same as on any other day. The female natore on the contrary is ad­justed for periods of rest and action, and upon her proper observance of these, does her physiological fitness for the functions ofr maternity depend. It is plain then that the best Interests of both parties require that her times and sea­sons should be a law of themselves unto her husband. But in how many marriages is this law respected ? Let the pale cheeks and sunken eyes and wasted forms; and to go deep­er, the frames Tacked with hidden disease answer. How sAaR this miserable slave to passion, preserve a “ sound, cheerful, elastic human 60ul, in a body to match ?”

But they are housekeeper besides. Sorely the making and keeping of a home might in itself be a healthful and pleasurable employment. Bat do American housekeepers find it so; or are they in this department also, mere drudges ? It is the creed of most men, that woman is an in­ferior being kindly provided by the Creator, to minister to their material wants. Therefore, whatever is woman's work is inferior work, unworthy the notice or sympathy of the superior being. Few men, therefore, ever stoop to inquire into the details of the family arrangements, to know for themselves whether this household convenience may not possibly be overworked. They confess with a curious in­consequence, that she is of a finer order than themselves; adapted to a higher range of pleasures, and more easily In­jured by harsh treatment, or contact with rude labor, or gross associations. Yet in homes where there are no ser­vants, or bat one; the husband an eight-hour man perhaps, and allowing himself a free margin for beer and tobacco; she is required to pass from twelve to sixteen hours daily, in the dull, wearing round of household duties: cooking, cleaning, sweeping, carrying wood and water, mixing in the family sewing, by way of recreation ! Stifling all the while’ an aching desire for an hoar of uninterrupted leisure, in which to read a book she knows of; or at least to sit down before the open page of beauty which God spreads everywhere about her, and think. If she has help Is the case much better? The brand of ignominy and inferiority still rests on “ woman’s work," and the only servant she can obtain is, nine times out of ten, so awkward, so un­trained, so neglectful, so every way exasperating as to be a perpetual snare and peril to the most “ sound, cheerful, elastic human soul” in existence.

Bat they are mothers. Ah! surely motherhood most hold 6ome balm for this weary, oppressed nature. Aye, it does; it is God's own touch of healing upon her soul; if on­ly the wrongs of her life have left enough of her original nature intact, to recognize it. Too often 6he fears children —they will add so many cares to her already overburdened life. With her nervous system strained before-hand to its utmost tension, where shall she find strength for all the pains and perils of maternity; where the grace and patience which is born of robust health, for the rearing of children ? The father of the babe, even though he he the chosen of her love, is already her daily and nightly terror, the task-mas-

or of the homo; and ho will rogurd the babe t i an Intruder, a stumbling-block In tho way hla ease sod Indulgence. Will sho dare then voluntarily to t*o a mother, and If moth- orhood Is thrust upon hor, can sho welcome it?

But wolcomo or not, tho children do come, nod the moth­er’s heart goes out towards them with the tender, Inez-

I preaslblo mother-longing, and mothor-lovo. Her own life Is poor and bare of all sentiment, all ppotry ; but she builds'

I again hor broken Ideals to adorn tbo child’s life. She feels too, how much of their realization depends upon herself; but how amid the ceaseless round of petty caret, and exac­tions which make up her unappreciated life, this “ up and down grinding, all the while, and nobody minding,” shall she find room for the study, the thought, the prayer so nec-' ossary to that cheorfol, elastic, hopefol spirit, which she should bring to her work ?

It Is a dark picture which we have drawn, and as truthful as dark. Again and again tho cry has come to our ears; Is there no remedy, no redress ? Can no temperance reform be made to reach the secret places of onr homes; no eight- hour law curtail our labors, no omanclpatlqn edict strike off onr fetters ?

The answer is clear In onr minds, bat not easily stated. Women of America, the cure, the only cure, is in your own hands. For unnumbered ages woman has suffered In el* leuce, In resignation, In weakness, waiting'her time. What •he lias now to do is to “ suffer and be strong.1* Strong, not with the strength of mon, but with tbat deeper, truer, ho­ller strength which Is truly womanly.

Men suffer and If they are essentially manly, they are broken in spirlt'nnd morale, they sink In deep waters; they drive on to destruction; or at best they make a stand np fight of It, and grow harder and harder*os Jhe years go on, till at last they are granite to all the world. But the wo­manly soul ever draws spiritual strength from spiritual hardship. ,

«, Gather then this strength, born of your suffering, and rise In your might; first, for your own sakes, but equally also, for tho sake of your brother, man ; and demand that the powers of woman shall be recognized ; her Inborn rights maintained.

Then, indeed, shall yon come Into your inheritance, and the “ sound, cheerful, elastic human soul, in a body to match,” preside over the home In the person of both father and mother, and children shall Indeed, rise up about you, for whom It shall no more be “ possible to go radically wrong, than for the planet to turn back on her axis.”

Onr Religion.It is best that everybody should have a religion. There

are various sorts of religion extant in the world; some in­different, some worse, some better; and everybody, at least in this country, is free to choose that which suits him best, or even to construct a new one which shall please him bet­ter than any of them, provided only, that he do not seek to cram his own peculiar dogma down the throat of his neigh­bor. We have tried nearly all the systems of faith common to the civilized world, except Mormanism, and have found something to enjoy in each. We like orthodoxy for its de­votion to Its own ideas, whether they be true or false; we like Liberal Christianity for Its breadth and cnlture; we like Spiritualism for its determined iconodasm, and should be glad to approve it for an equally efficient constructive ha- manitarianism.

Spiritualism brings no new truth into the world, though It has given some fine suggestions concerning the adapta­tions and uses of truth. All the ages have asserted more or less positively, the immortality of the soul, and the pos­sibility of communication with departed spirits. Elijak went np in the whirlwind (so, at least men believed), and the woman of Endor brought Samuel np at the request of Saul. After that, it were no gain to universal truth, though Peter Simpkin’s wife should come back to reproach her husband in bad grammar for having found an affinity in the person of Anna Maria Jones, or though Peter himself should cover reams of paper with inspired twaddle concern­

in g the best means of becoming a medium. What is of con­sequence to the world, Is that old forms of error should be combatted, and new and harmonious expressions of truth and parity substituted therefor.

To this world-work, a great many forces are co-operating, and among them we believe that Spiritualism, when it shall have thoroughly outgrown its embryotif form, and be born into the world as a practical worker, will contribute nobly. Let no one imagine that we speak disparagingly of its present achievements. It is because we have an eye to the larger work which it is capable of doing, and which we have every faith that it will do, if only it be true to its mo­tive purpose, and labor unceasingly to make room in the world for (he influx of the inspirations of the spheres, that we insist that nothing which it has yet accomplished is fully worthy of it. The heavens above ns bend down with love and in­spiration; every strain that we catch from the upper heights is burdened with a tenderjyearningfor the oppressed and benighted of the earth. A6 the purest love is always self- forgetting, so the true presence of angels is never announc­ed by public recitals of personal joys, or personal pen­ances, but always by some great shaft of white light let down upon the dark and sorrowing dungeons of the earth. Spirit­ualists then need to look away from themselves, to think leas of who speaks, and through whom, and more of what is said, and how to make it practical; to forget self-glorifi­cation in work for the world.

Let us, then, tell no one what we believe, creed-wise. A creed is a theological straight-jacket; a box-trap into which short-sighted persons blunder and find themselves prisoners for life. Let ns have no system that is not found­ed on the broad basis of Faith and Hope and Love. Faith in things as they are, and as they are to be. Hope strong and steadfast for the infinite good which is sure to come. Love towards God which shall fill ns full of aspiration ; and toward man, which shall outwork itself, as God’s lore ever does, in creative beneficence.

Such a religion is world-wide at its birth. Its inevitable destiny is to become universal; even the world cannot con­tain it, for ih will overflow upon the spheres, and rise at last to its source in the bosom of God.

For the Spiritual Republic.

Note from Dr. Child of Philadelphia.1 have just received a letter from Mr. D. W. Pratt, of

Cleveland requesting me to call the attention of the Spirit- nalists to the importance of applying to the various Rail, road Companies for a reduction in the fare to the Fourth National Convention of Spiritualists. We have done so in this city and the fare will be $13.50 to Cleveland with free return passes to all delegates who purchase full fare ticket* on the roads going to the Convention.

Mr. Pratt also desires that the delegates from all parts of the country who are not provided with accommodation in i Cleveland will send up their names and the number who* are coming so that the committee may assign them places during their stay. H. T. C h il d , M. D.

From E. K Leonard.Editors Spiritual Republic : I hare been very slow to

bdtere in Protestant priest craft Not exactly this either, lor I had help to believe in Roman Catholic priest-craft and in the craft of other sects, so far as it *as safe and did not Wfiwte ay own chosen sect: via. Orthodox Congrega- tjoasBaa I have been from my infancy an honest inquirer after tndk and united with the Congregational Church, in New Haven, Cornu, at the age of twenty, and my ndvnn- rjges far obtaining correct information are seldom surpassed. And jet, at the age of fifty-six my eyes are scarcely wide open; *211 see dearly enough to bless God for what the sects aft infidels, especially for Spiritualists, or at least for thrir defense of the right of free dfeemaoo: for what other sect defendant in reofify, I should like to know ?

It b ay opinion that the sects will tad they have made a great in not coming up maafrUy to the defence of the pockets of the people at the first all- It is supposed by some that this subject of finance is not suitable for the Sabbath, or holy time, because It is seeslar. But these same individuals have no scruples about emptying the pockets of the people in holy rime! In this there is something secu­lar, certainly, and it is considered that we should not handle money much on the Sabbath, except when the church bags or plates come around. We may handle the chink in the most sacred placet, at the very altar, and the priest-may earn all his living on the Sabbath, but we say not condemn the unadestific institution of money, in tsse deemed sacred, notwithstanding this very thing is the root of all evil and so declared by God, reason, and science!

Oh, get thee behind me, Satan, for tim is thy voice if it does proceed from the very altar of God, as if by the art of ventriloquism. I remember slaveholders used to crowd the subject of slavery out, in the same way; it was a secular subject. Again slavery was authorized by God in the Bi­ble, and it should be made the main pillar of the State, and this capped the climax for them.

Now we aver that there is no subject more sacred than this one of usury, and that there is no time or place too sa­cred or holy for its consideration sad investigation. I t is declared to be the root of all evil; and more than this, cer­tainly, cannot be affirmed of the devil himself. I claim that it is not money, per oe, that men love, but Mary. The most inveterate misers are frequently without money in their purses being too lazy and too much bent on pleasure to be bothered with i t They place it on deposit and draw on their bankers, and are proud in doing so. It is therefore the usury it yields, that men love, and it is this that consti­tutes the bane of humanity; and by usury I mean excessive interest merely. When money comes to be without Inter- eat, absolutely, everything will be without price also, for aught I can see, for none will produce it when its use comes to be of no value. Money has a natural value or price, therefore, the same as other things; and this is cost of pro­duction. Our government can produce money in any amount and loon It to ns at one per cent per annum and support itself in the operation. Who doubts it?

A- J. Davis’ Works in German.Editors Sp ir it u a l R e p u b l ic : Ton remember that the

late Herald of Progress and a number of its generous sup­porter had assisted in the task of publishing a series of har­monist works In the German language. Difficulties of va­rious kinds delayed the fulfillment of this mueb desired end, until a Russian gentleman of wealth, in Moscow, furnished all the needed fundi Thus, 1 have now the pleasure to lay before you the first token o( success in this direction. It is the TV. YoL, of the Great Hanaonia, Der Reformat or, by A.J. Daria, translated by B. C. Wlttig, of Breslau, Prussia. This beautiful European made book, with Us rich treasures of philosophy, relating to* the marriage relation and to physiological rices and virtues in general, receives a pecu­liar charm by its highly elevated tone of pure German lan­guage. It wDl be welcomed by an such educated German |] people who prefer to dwell on the progressive teachings of I this hemisphere b the garb of their mother tongue. A few 1 more of these books, being Imported only as samples, can \ be had for $3,75 each (postage 27 cents). In a very short \ time I win be enabled to send yon a sample of the Magic Staff, of A. J. Davis, te German, by Wittig, the proof-sheets and pictures of which, are already in my hands. This au­tobiography of Davis will acquaint your German readers with thia extraordinary mao, forming a proper foundation for a thorough understanding of his writings, which will all appear In German with quick succession. All these germs of thought and progression will find a fruitful soil In the German mind, which is often so free of sectarian Mas and constitutionally opposed to fetters of any kind

representatives in the Congress of the United States.B eso tted , That in adopting these articles this Convention has no pow-

i er or wish to prescribe a creed, or in any way fetter the belief or. limit | the freedom of any individual mind, bu t th at we declare our object to

be the discovery o f truth and its practical application to the affairs and interests of human life, and th a t we recognize everything th at tends to the enfranchisement, development and true welfare of human beings as embraced within the range of the Spiritual Philosophy and the purpose o f this National Organization.

Besoked, That any person, not a delegate, may, by invitation of the Convention, its Business Committee or President, take part in its delib erations or discussions, but shall not thereby be entitled to vote.

In pursuance of the above, the undersigned members of the Executive Committee have decided to call the F ourth National Convention to meet on Tuesday, the 3d day of September, 1867, a t Brainard Hall in the /city of Cleveland, state of Ohio, at 10 oclock in the morning, and to continue in session from day to day until Friday the 6th of September.

“ A W O M A N ’ S S E C R E T , ”

BY MRS. CAROLINE FAIRFIELD CORBIN.

THE BEST BOOK ON.THE WOMAN QUESTION YET WRITTEN.

As a Novel, it is

STRIKING,

ORIGINAL,

HUMOROUS,

PROFOUND.

Ignoring the crude and superficial views concerning the position and claims of Woman which have been so widely disseminated, it aims to strike at the root of social evils, and thoroughly to expose the

IGNORANCE,

TYRANNY AND

LICENTIOUSNESS

of Men, while it fearlessly rebukes the evils which a state of subordi­nation and slavery have induced in Woman. At the same time its pre­vailing spirit is not iconoclastic, but generously and genially progres­sive. A

TENDER,

RELIGIOUS,

WOMANLY

breathes from every page of it. The characters are nobly and skillfully drawn, some of them strikingly original, others exquisitely beautiful, and the whole tone of the book is thoroughly pure and elevating.

It advocates Woman’s Suffrage from the very highest grounds and demolishes the historical and (so-called) Biblical arguments against it. As an electioneering document in those States now actively engaged in canvassing this subject, it will be found invaluable.

We subjoin a few extracts from letters, selected from the hundreds which have been received from every part of the country, testifying to the strong hold which the story has already taken hpon the hearts and imaginations of all classes of readers.

“ It is the fruit of an earnest heart, a capacious brain, a deep experi­ence and lo n g Tn*—o e g -a e a stosyand unwinpivuJiriDfas a woman’s claim for woman, it is sure to be read and pondered, and to go to the right place, like corn dropped in to the tarrow on a gleam­ing May day; to secure attention to itself by its own merits and to aid the great cause for which it was written. Rev . Robert Collyeb.

“ Chicago, HI.”

“ ‘A Woman’s Secret ’ bears the same relation to Woman’s Rights that ‘ Uncle Tom’6 Cabin ’ bore to slavery. I am glad it is to be is­sued in book form. Emma Tottie.”

“ Am glad ‘ A Woman’s Secret ’ is to be issued as a book. I t is tall of genius, insight and womanly love and wisdom. I t opens a realm of thought and life hitherto well-nigh sealed, and mast be of great value.

“ Giles B. Stebbixs.”

“ Mrs. Corbin’s story is the perfection of a philosophical novel. They are the most difficult of all tp treat successfully, and the driest of all reading when managed poorly. I never met another which kept up the interest not only unflaggingly bnt increasingly to the end. Replete with wisdom, genial with human nature, the embodiment of the great question of woman's sphere now beginning to agitate public thought and destined shortly to shake it to its center as an earthquake, it is all the most fastidious critic can ask for.
