C, Not. 11, The editor of the Chronicle asked me to write for pub. licAtion the' reasons by I fblnk a third party ihould not be formed at this time. And indulging the modeat hope that I may thna be to some little extent useful to my countrymen, I now comply with the reqneat, X am decidedly opposed'to the" formation of a third party at the . present " time. B,at .let no one think for one moment that I bast my opposition to the formation of such third party on any .moral ground. The people hay a clear right to form a new party when. ever they feel aure that, the beat interests - r m a ' ' .a , ' a a - , . 01 xretaom ana gooa ; government, ueoi&na : each action. About thin there can be no mistake at all. Indeed, I cau readily con ceive auoh a cond.tioo of -existing parties. as would make it the Jilghet duty Jwbich freemen owe to themselves, to their country . .and to prosperity to separate themSeires - from corruptjand tyrannical political organ- ' it ations, and unite in the formation of such .' associations as would secure' to ail people tire ends of good and economical govern ment. I want also to'distinctly say that I think a very large aud influential wing of the Democratic party id not.no, and has not been wit hinjuy recolleotion, willing to do jUDtioe to the demands tuat hare boon mule DJ lav groat ulOU 01 unr nyrioui urai jtupu lation."

This by the way."" 1 am oppodud to the formation ' cf a third party at this time, because, as I look at the "matter, H is not by any means certain that 'such a party could succeed, if it were form- ' I enterUm n uoubt at all tnat such a rtartv can be formed. The material for its formatiou is abundant. But could "those materials be organized into victory ? I kno w f no political party that was ever formed in this country, or elsewhere, that was able to accomplish anything of enduring value without weary years of that peculiar cost of training which comes from defeat ; , and there appears to be no good reason to think : that the third partv, if formed at this tune would be an i xocption iu history. It seems to me, that demands for reforms an - so pressing auf urgent, as to make it almost wicked to compel the fanning and produc. . ... : . i . . j . c I : .

I cheer, fully accord to the Republican party . the eminent distinction amongst the parties -of the world of having destroyed human lare ry on this contiueut. ' But I, muot forget that it has also more than once attempted - to distroy sovereign States that it created, and has refused to soften an i modify the unspeakably wicked financial system under which our farme s now groan, that it hits lonitUtjul nr fl:ior from the seas of the , world by destroying trade, that it has fast ened upon the produc. ng country this devilii-h tariff sysUiifiu the liter, sta of a few neh manufacturers; Inst it hasbgottrn great monopolies aad couaecrecrafed itself to their, strengthening ..and enlargement, that it 'baa never lot 'an opportunity - to aquander the people's money upon its pets and favorites, that only lust- winierlt tried to setd a deputy marshal into every voting place in the Southern States.'

Would unite all the lovers of a HAn.,,ntnfil miHr ilic ll0 fif Democratic fathers, and compel the reforms damaudi-d by both justice and mercy. -May 1 be allowed to say, that my Dem ocracy is more than blind devotion to the leaders of the party, ia, more than mere sentiment. It ia a couvictin, as deep and abiding as my nature, that all the people are better than any ol the people- tuat any with t STBlem of government, wnicn iana iueanaliiv upon any class or cmzens, IB ' Iam'an AMsnVinan and I anTWtily 1 in favor of any demand made by my breth-1 ren. excepting only two. viz: the sub treasury bill and the election of Senators by a popular vote. I am an Ailianceman because I conceive the principles of the Alliance to be Demucratic in the fullest and best sense. I believe the Alliannemen and the Democrats stand upon eomroun ground and that they are, contending for a common good, and I wan to see tLem unite their forces in this crisis, and conquer the victo-y for the people which I believe to. bo easily within their power. . V , "'-:-.. It isproper for me to say thai X have written at the request of the editor of the Chronicle; and without such a request I would not have written at all. If what I have writteh shall do anytgood. there will be J iet so inuca g lined; and Wast have writteu can do no harm, for I am not au thorized to speak for anybody else but ray. self; and I am not a candidate for any office no. not ef eu for the presidency of a debating society. ' " CHARACTER IS THE THING. THIS MAKE3 THE M N. OCCUPATION IS BEC0ND.ART. V. J. NortUcm, in Southern Cultivator.. . ilf a man would eat, he must work. - Not many men of active thought and good habits prefer ,idleo!88 to enterprise. . Every good citizen, removed beyond the necessity for personal effort, still desires the public good in the use of his endeavors for gen eral advancement and enterptise. In this free America there is such a thing as the dignity of labor. . ;.y :.m ' Iu a State founded upon the monarchi cal idea, there is neccsoarialy an aristocracy of clasb that degrades labor of any - and al kinds. At the pinnacle in sach society stand those who are not only exempt from labor," but who " dehpiso it", fcuch people who do not lend a lifting baud to labor, but such as oppress it. " . : r ... . With these the labor of a physician, a lawyer, a teacher, a mechan'e or a trade mau. put tue man outside the pale of re cognition. Under the American tdea. Jabor is not only respec able, but honorr-ble, and the mau who bears censure' with us is hot the inan of work,v but the man without work. . . 1 ' While this is true, there is with us a degree of caste that makes undue and -uu. pleasant distinctions io occupational ver man, whatever hia social Ijtatu, grosM iusults labor every . time he declines to r oognize it. A. simple diffjreuce In occu patioii does not' make necessavily a diffV reu e in uieu.

The choice of occupation is "ofteutitues made therefore more from public opinion than irom fitness or talent. The boy who would make a good mechanic or artisan looks more to the respectability, as ha un derbtauda it, of the profeobions, than his fitness for work, and be spoils a good me chanic, aud aiakes a third rate lawyer .

Chicago Times. ... ; To judge from results, tho movement toward a separation of State and Church in the Protestant countries of modern Europe is a very weak factor in- the religious life there. The Danish Free Church was begun as early as J 855, but t present numbers only 830 souls, and these must send to America for ministers.' The most important Separatists Church in Germany is that of Saxony; but here, too, there is little more than a handful of men, supplied and supported to a large degree by Americans. - The Hanoverian and Hessian separation has " had even poorer success, while the agitation in south Germany has won. at most a few dozen adherents. - , " GRAINS OF GOLD. : Industry pays debts, while despair In creaseth them. .
