This evening the annual election of officers and directors of the Library Association will take place, and it is hoped that the Stockholders will show by a general attendance that they feel that interest in tbe Institution which its worth demands. Two tickets are presented for our support, j aikii a spirited, but good natured, contest j i may be expected. Both tickets are unex- '. j ceptionable in character, and the interests ' J of the Association will doubtless be safe in the hands of either. We all have our differences of opinion, however, and with- I out wishing to derogate in the least from the merits of the Independent ticket, will you allow me a few words in behalf of the -Regular ticket. At the head of this stands ; the name of John W. Foster for President- j For two years Mr. Foster has been the Cor- ' respoudirig Secretaiy of the Association and the efficient Chairman of the Lecture Com- I mitlee. In the discharge of his duties he has shown zeal, industry and efficiency. He has promptly done his whole duty, and he has done it well. The success of the lecture course has ! been large, owing to his good management; ! and in all instances vhere his services were I wanted, they have been promptly given to promote the success ot the Association. This much for his past record Indenend- ! ent of the evidence which this record showft of his fitness for the office for which he is ' named, there are other considerations, which ' should weigh with us in selecting a head to ! the institution. Besides capacity, ieal. and : in1Mt?y. whoever is placed in that potriiilfu suuuiu nave enougn or leisure to give a portiou of his thoughts and time to the du ties belonging to it. Without attention and watchfulness on the part of the presiding officer, there is danger that a board will be remiss hence when we have a man who has proved his fitness, it is wise to secure b'm, however capable or deserving his opponent may be. Indeed, as a simple matter of justice, should we not sustain ami pro. mote the man who has been faithful to his trusts arid who has labored for our interests? 1 do not propose to dwell upon the other nominations on this ticket. They are all good men and were selected with a view to efficiency. They are all rneu who will work to advauce the association. Among them are two who, like Mr. Foster, were members of the old Board. It was deemed advisable to retain a few who were familiar with the tht present condition of the Institution. A . moment's reflection will show that this was judicious and advisable. When all the members of a Board are new men, there must, for a time, be some confusion and some delays in carrying on the business. In a word, while in most respects there is an equality of choice in the tickets, in a few particulars which I Lave alluded to, I cannot but feel that the advantage is with the Regulars. This, however, is a question for the majority. Let all the Stockholders who can, turn out thij; sveningand decide it. A MbMBKR -OV THK OLD BoAHL).

THE DIGNITY OF LABOR ASTD THK PATRIOTISM OF ISDUSTRY.

An Address Delivered before the chmilcs and Working Men of Die Ev. ausvllle, July 4th, I860, by CONRAD BAKER. Evansville, July Otb, 18C0. Conrad Baker, Esq., Dear Sir: Tbe undersigned members of the several Committees of the Mechanic's Association of our City, and in accordance with the expressed wish of that body, desire to return our thanks for the able and satisfactory address delivered by you on the Fourth of July last, in which "The Dignity of Labor and the Patriotism of Industry ' were most efficiently vindicated and established, and to solicit a copy of the same for publication. Very respectfully, Your f riends and ob't serv'ts, W. H. Chaxdlkr, Philip Decker, J. S. McCracken, Fred. W. Cook, R. B. Hart, Jno. A. Hasev, and forty others and the entire Association. Evansvillc, July ,th, 18U0. Messrs. W. H. Chandler, Philip Decker, J. S. McCracken, Frkd. W. Cook, R. H. Hart, John A. Hanky, and others, Gentlemen: Your kind note requesting u copy of my address lor publication, is before me. Herewith I hand you a copy. Accept, gentlemen, for yourselves and your associates, my grateful acknowledgements for the polite attentions of which I have been the recipient. Yours, truly, Conrad Dakek. Fellow- Citizen, Eadie and Gentlemen : Detailed as I have been for the present service, by the mechanics and working men of our community, I appear belbre you, claiming to be myself a worker, and ask your kind indulgence, during a brief consideration of the subject selected :is the basis of my remarks. The theme is, The Dignity of Labor, and the Patriotism of Industry. " Iu other words, Labor is honorable, and industry is oue of' the high duties of patriotism. In such a presence as this, and surrounded by these emblems, showing with what pride aud pleasure the mechanics aud workiug men of Evansville contemplate the industrial employments with which they are respectively connected, it might be supposed that the dignity of labor needs no vindication. The fact, however,- is, that we are all constitutionally lazy, and are inclined, until urged by necessity, or stimulated by avarice or ambition to regard labor as a thing to bo avoided, instead of the grand means by which a wise Providence designed that our natures should be developed, and the objects of our earthly existence attained. Some of the working men before me, who through love for their wives aud little ones, and stimulated by a desire to better their condition, have trained and educated themselves until they have become thorough workers, and until it may be truly said of them, that there is not a lazy bone in their bodies may be disposed to accuse me of doing injustice to our common humanity, when I ascribe to it constitutional laziness. All I aik of such is, that they should re-call to their recollection the years of their own childhood, or observe the conduct and habits of the children and youth now growing up around them. Where is the child who delights in useful labor'' Where the child, if uncontrolled, who will not flee from labor as an evil, to expend that vitality with which he is teeming, in putting forth greater exertions in the prosecution of his sports and plays? And ye, working men, who have schooled your faculties and powers until industry bas to you become a second nature, tell me in all candor, which one of you does not not cherish the hope that the day will come when he can retire from labor, and sitting under the shade of his own arbor, smoke the pipe of a lazy peace, no man having the right to say " what doest thou," or " why sit you here all the day idle?" It is difficult for a man thoroughly educated in any science or art, to conceive how any other man can be totally ignorant of that science or art, and still more difficult to treat such ignorance, with a respectful toleration. It is equally difficult, for a real worker, to understand, how any man can forego the pleasures of industry, and the very presence of the idler, is to him offensive. Certain it is, however, that ignorance and laziness do both exist, that we came by both of them honestly, that is by inheritance, and that it is the office of training or education, to overcome both. If, then, it be true, that we have a natural aversion to labor, it is sure to follow, unless that aversion is overcome by training, and the practice of labor, that we will, more and more, hold labor and the laborer in disrepute. Hence, it is, that so many of our weak brethren, who have inherited wealth, or a competency, accumlated by their parents by honest toil, are grievously insulted, by the remotest allusion, to the craft by which, their means of subsistence was acquired. These considerations sufficiently show that to vindicate the dignity ot labor, and to inculcate the patriotism of industry, is no work of supcrerrogation ; but with these, as with all our duties, we need line upon line, and precept upon precept. Labor is honorable, and idleness, is contemptible, because by the very laws of our being, lalior is essential to the developement of our manhood in all its completeness. The organism of these bodies of ours, as well as the teachings of inspiration show, that the creator designed, that we should labor ; and can it be dishonorable or disreputable, in the eyes of any, save fools, to fulfil one of the great objects of our creation ? The peualty of idleness is a dwarfed manhood, and the puny lounger, with a little gold in bis pocket, and less braius iu his cranium, who supposed that he must look down to discover the whereabouts of the hardy sons of toil, should speedily be informed, that he will never be able, to discover the plain they inhabit, until his impaired vision, is turned In an upward direction. An aristocracy of any kind is an undesirable thing ; an aristocracy of wealth or of blood may be tolerated, and an aristocracy of brains may even be an object of admiration, but an aristocracy of idleness, of kid gloves and perfumery, is insufferable, and begets nausea. How any woman, with the soul of a true woman within her, can tolerate such specimens of the genus homo, is beyond my comprehension. Were I a woman, I would rather seek, the protection of the brawniest arm of the brawniest laborer in

all the land, and with him share a lite of toil, than to choose affluence, with such a biptd possessing neither manhood nor womanhood. Labor too has its rewards How true are the words of the Preacher that "the sleep of the laboring man i3 sweet, whether he eat little or much, but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep." The idler is a stranger to the refreshing influences of a sound sleep, because his whole life is one inglorious snooze ; but

the man who has experienced the luxury of fatigue, knows how to enjoy the attendant luxury of rest. So, also, the bread of the laboring man is sweet, and he partakes of it with a relish which the child of idleness and luxury cannot know. Let it not be supposed, that I am lauding manual labor, at the expense of intellectual toil; that I am appreciating the labors of the man who works with hi3 hand, and depreciating the labors of tbe man who works with his mind. These two kinds of labor are not the enemies of each other, and both are necessary, and may unite, and should much more frequently unite, in the same person. Many of tbe useful arts afford boundless fields for intellectual effort, and whre this is not so, mental improvement, should be the recreation ot man, whose chief business it is to labor with his hands; and manual labor in the workshops, on the farm, or in the garden, should be the recreation of the man whose life is devoted to mental toil. By this means, the man who labors with his hands for his daily bread, may become the peer in knowledge of his co-laborer, who works for the same object, with his mind, while the child of mental toil, by seeking recreation in manual labor, promotes health of mind and body, learns to sympathize with those who labor, and expe riences for himself in some degree, the sweetness of tbe food and sleep of the laboring man. The man who devotes himself ' exclusively to manual labor, and tbe oue whose daily pursuits are entirely mental, j cannot properly sympathize with each othj er, aud neither does justice to the otner or his calling. If professional men by way of recreation, worked more with their hands; and if mechanics and other laboring men more freijuently sought relief from ' bodily toil in mental recreation, each would learn better to appreciate the other, ! and a greater degree of sympathy would exist between these two classes of workers. I The small talk, which sometimes passes for wit, aimed by one class at tbe other, would ; soon become less exclusive, and bodily aud ; mental labor, twin sisters as they ; would go forth hand in hand to are, bless ; the world. Do you ask me for exami pies of the dignity of labor as illustrated ! in the lives of men ? My reply is, Benjamin : Franklin was a printer, Klibu Burret was a blacksmith, Hugh Miller was a stone j cutter, and the founder of the Christian Religion was a carpenter. The Apostle Paul i who apart from his inspiration, belonged to the noblest style of man, illustrated the ; dignity of labor, by making tents for his i living, and inculcated the duty of labor by j promulgating the righteous precept, " that i if a man will not work, neither shall he I eat." God gives no valueunto men Unmatched bv meed of labor; And CV of Worth has evor been The closest neighbor . Were erery hill a precious mine, Aud golden all the mountains ; Were all the rivers fed with wine By tireless fountains. "Life Would le ravished f ts .est, Aud shorn of its ambiti in, Aud sink into a dreamless rest Of inanition. "Up the broad stairs that value rears, Stand motives beck'uing earthward, To summon Bsest to nobler spheres, And luad them worthward. I know that another poet has sung: "That just experience tolls, in every soil. That those who think must govern those that toil ;" but 1 hold, that however much poetry there may be in this couplet, their is wanting the grand requisite of truth. The poet would have as believe that thought and toil, are incompatible with each other, when all history is replete with examples of the grand est thought, associated with the severest j bodily labors. Our own country, is and ! must continue to be a nation of laborers, ! and yet, the very basis of our institutions j is the grand central idea, that the people, ) without reference to their avocations, are j competent to do their own thinking, their own voting, and if need be their own fighting. If I were a member of the House of Representatives of the (Ireat Republic of Letters, and it was allowable to spoil tbe poetry by improving the sense, I would move to amend Dr. Goldsmith's lines just quoted by making them read: Just experience, to teach Is ever wont, That those who think must govern those who don't. It is the presence of thought, and not the absence of toil, that enables a man to influence his fellow men, and when thought and toil unite in the same person, toil instead of decreasing the influence of their possessor, gives him a hold on the popular mind and heart, which mere intellect never could attain. Let ns now, for a few minutes, attend to the other topic of remark. It is the proposition that industry is one of the high duties of patriotism. Self is the centre of the graud circle of all our domestic, social and political duties, and the man who is most true to his highest and best interests, will be the best husband, the best father, the best brother, the best friend aud neighbor, and the best citizen. God has a 1 place for every man, and desigued that every man should be in his place, and industriously perforin the duties of his position, but man, in the exercise of that free will with which he is endowed, too frequently frustrates the benevolent designs of the Almighty. The Commonwealth is but an aggregation of neighborhoods or communities, each community is an aggregation of families, aud each family is an aggregation of individuals. Now supppose every member of every family, iu any one neighborhood, should always act up to the measure of his duty, as a member of that family, what a happy, what a glorious community would not that be ! And then suppose, that every community in the State, was composed of just such families, how much government would such a State require : Is it cot manifest, that such a people would, to a very great extent, be a law unto j themselves ; and that the business of law i making and expounding would be greatly j circumscribed. Xot that even in such a community there would be no necessity for the administration of law, for honest men, j intent only upon doing and receiving that which is just and right, will differ about ! their rights just as they will differ about j what they conceive to be plain propositions in philosophy, in government, or in reli- I I gion and as long as men are liable to hon-

: estly differ about their rights, there must be rules by which these rights shall be ascertained, and tribunals by which these rules shall be administered. The man, then, who most faithfully observes the Eleventh Com- , mandment, which, as I understand it, enjoins every man to mind his own business, I will best serve his country uud best exhibit his love for that country. Let it not be supposed that I intend to teach that any man's business begins and ends with himself, his family, the community in which he

i lives, or the Stale in which he is a citizen. His duties may, and his sympatnits should, reach the outer vere of the circle of humanity. But what mean is that the duties each man owes to himself to watch over his own spirit, restrain bis own passions, preaerve his own self-respect and personal integrity, and develop bis own manhood, are paramount duties, and should first claim attention. These duties well performed, will strengthen us for the performance of duties of the domestic circle, and the latter properly attended to will fit us for whatever Providence may require of us, towards our neighbors, our country, and the world. It is a law pervading our physical, mental, and moral con stitution, that use or exercise gives strength to eery faculty or power that is properly exercised. That man who industriously performs the labor of his calling, thereby serves his country better than tlie man who makes politics his trade, and whose chief business is to save the Union and preserve the Constitution. A seat ou a shoemaker's bench may be, and frequently is, a more patriotic position than a seat ia a Chicago, a Charleston, or a Baltimore Convention. A continued and systematic attack, with powder, pick and shovel, on a vein of coal, deep in the bowels of old mother earth, is vastly more patriotic than an equally persistent assault upon tbe public treasury ; and yet the treasury miner will look down with contempt upon the sturdy coa miner, who is contributing his mite towards developing the resources of tbe country, and supplying the wants of his fellow men. By a life of honest industry in the position in which circumstances or his on n choice may have placed him, the man who thus deports himself not only best serves himself and those immediately connected with him, but he also teaches the rising generation the beauty and the value of industry by his silent but eloquent example. Thus, too, men with stout hearts, broad shoulders, and strong arms are developed men who in their i country s time ot need, have both the will and tbe ability to defend her. It is one ot the glories ot our beloved country that we need no standing armies; that our PeopU: are so loyal that military force is seldom necessary to suppress domestic violence, and whenever such force is necessary for that purpose, or to repel foreign invasions, a citizen soldiery, emerging from the farms and workshops of the country, are ready and eager to volunteer to fight foj that sovereignty of which they are themselves part. Then, when required to serve his country in the battle-field, the citizen who has become enured to toil sees that when he was laboring day byday, in the shop or ou the farm, he was acquiring those ! powers of doing and enduring which his country needs in her time of trial. Experience, too, proves that here, where the dignij ty of labor is to some extent properly apI predated, tlK- conutry may at all times coui fidently look for the rank and file, as well ; as for the officers of an array ; and the rank ! and file themselves will contain the material of which the most efficient officers are made. Where labor is le3S honorable, the service may be overrun with volunteers, but, unfortunately, they are chiefly volunteer captains or majors, colonels or generals, and the rank and file have to be raised by conscription, or by heavy bounties offered to foreign mercenaries. Who then so blind as not to see that industry is one of the high duties of patriotism, and who, seeiug this, so unpatriotic as not to be industrious? And now, gentlemen, I have imperfectly performed the duty you assigned me, and I return to your keeping the interests of labor and industry, with the confident assurance that you will vindicate the dignity of the one, and illustrate tbe patriotism of the other iu your lives. So may it be. Harvest has Come. Now is the time for millers to fix up ready for the new crop and if they want to do extra work, they can supply themselves with L. S. Reynold's, new improvement on bolting. .Mr- J. P. Hlttox, the agent of F. D. Bland is stopping at the Washington House in this city for a short time, and can supply orders. He is also agent for " Taggart's Portable Flour Packer. Everything warranted to give satisfaction. A Prolific Reptile. Mr. Robt. Nightengale, a gentleman living in German township, informs us that his son a few days since killed a large copperhead snake, by cutting it across the middle, when a multitude of young living snakes, numbering sixty-seven, emerged from the body of the parent, and were also dispatched. There is a strong resemblance between this snake and the Democratic party, which, though hidious enough before, when disrupted and torn asunder has discovered a myriad of disgusting corruptions which were then covered and hidden within it. Cn Down. We are gratified to see that the ugly snag which spoke of on Saturday as disfiguring tne appearance of our harbor, has been removed. Since what is every body's business is generally considered nobody's, we hardly hoped to see our suggestion so promptly acted upon, and those who attended to it have thereby proven themselves public spirited and philanthropic men. They deserve the thanks of an obliged community. Up and Dowx, and Up Again. The Peoria Unioa, after hoisting the name of Douglas, and taking it down when its editor got home from Baltimore, now again hoists his name. Cause Mr. Rancey, the Buchanan editor, has retired from the paper, having capitulated to the Douglasites. A difficulty has arisen among the stockholders of the Kentucky Statesman, the Democratic organ at Lexington. The majority of them are for Douglas, but the editor is supporting Breckinridge.

Indian depredations upon straggling parties and ranches, were of so frequent occurrence that a meeting was held yesterday to consider what was best to be done in the matter. The mining news remains unchanged. No new or important discoveries had been j made. Business is very dull. Money tight and scarce. Weather hot and showery. " Irrepressible Conflict." Terre Haute, July 7th.

Schnable, entering the Constitation office this morning, assaulted Geu'l Bowman with a stick while the latter wa3 sitting in his chair. One of the clerks in the office effectively came to the rescue, when Schnable made a hasty retreat. Immediate steps were taken tor Schnable's arrest. The reason for the assault was the publication in yesterday's Constitution of an article reflecting on the conduct of Schnable. Edward French, Assistant Superintendent of the Treasury extension, under indictment for embezzlement, died here this morning. His trial was to have taken place to-Jay. The sharpest political trick we have lately heard of, was one perpetrated in Richmond, Indiana, lately. Elder, editor of the Democratic paper, is also postmaster. It became necessary, in accordance with the present programme, to go for Douglas iu his paper, although he had been a violent Lecomptonite and supporter of the Administration. But if be should hoist Douglas'3 name in the Jeffersonian, off goes his official head. To prevent this calamity, Elder makes a sham transfer of his printing establishment to Lawyer Bicke!, and now rests in conscious security. He imagines himself " all right " whichever wing of the party succeeds. Old Abe's election wil make his comfortable postal berth too hot to hold him. The Raleigh Daily Press, Charlotte Balle.tin, Wilmington Journal, Star of Freedom, Western Democrat, Salisbury Banner, and every other Democratic paper in North Carolina that has taken any action, has hoisted the names of Breckinridge and Lane. The Breckinridge men have made a regular State organization in Ohio, and will hold a Convention soon to consider the propriety of putting forth electoral and State tickets. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
