They wore brought to IriaVand several of -them tconvicted,.and sen tenced to fine and imprisonment. It is in regard to the conviction and.-punishment of these poor men the Gazette stpcafcs. That paper snya.i- ;f We cannot let the occasion pass without ex pressing our gratification that the majesty of tho, law has beeh-vlndifcaied in Allegheny county— that its demands jjave not been delayed and frit tered away ;by. postponement,, and. a - nominal punishment, «nd that -rtotecs.-of every -class and. grade; will learn from this, that they violate vhe law at their peril.: Wo can now tell the world that personal rights and privileges, and property, are safe in Pittsburg, that ,the transgressor does not go free, that sure, punishment . awaits the -guilty. The spirit of ciot, which has - been, for some, years past so rife among «s, has received , -n-clLecic from the result of these trials, and, llrd prompt .and efficient action of tbe Sheriff, which* we hope-and trust..will eradicate it forever.— .With a resolute Sheriff, and a firm Judge, there i is little chance ft the. guilty to. escape. ' n»e 1 knowledge of this will quench the ardor of those > who ruthlessly invade the rights of others, and we may therefore confidently predict that Iho era of rioting is over among us. j Wo hav« always maintained That the Federal ist* aw enemies of the working-man, and we I desire no better evidence of tire,-fact than the above extract furnishes,. There is about it-so much satisfaction—such tantalizing contempt— that wo cannot be mistaken In the feelings of the writer. This Federal editor “cannot let the occasion pass, without expressing his gratifica tion that (he majesty of the law has been vindi cated !” Ah, Indeed ! It may be well for us to enquire Into the particulars of this case, and see what constituted this violation of law. In tTie session of 18 18, our Representatives at Harris burg enacted a law to the effect that in all facto ries, in this State, “ten hours should constitute a day's labor.” This law was passed for rhp benefit of the operatives—to relieve them of the unjust exactions of the capitalists—-to afford them an opportunity of improving their minds and resuscitaung their bodies—of enjoying, to some degree, the pleasures of social life., it was right to pass such a law—it was right to protect the. laborer from tho demands of the master-*-!! was right to guarantee to the Unprotected and toil worn man tho privilege of a few hours be could call his own. This.law, it was. thought, would afford these ’advantages, and Us passage was hailed by all. true philanthropists as the harbin ger of belter days for the working-man. Hut its enactment was greeted in an entirely different manner by the Cotton lords and Iron Masters throughout the State. They considered it unjust and arbitrary, and declared from the. jump their dissent from it, and they, everywhere evinced a determination to set Its provisions at defiance, by compelling their operatives to work the usual number of hours, of deprive therrf of employment. And most successfully dicj they succeed,.in their design. It was useless and vain for the laborer to expostulate and reason with tho master of the . justness of his case—both were disregarded*— : Tho alternatives were offered—“you must cither ' work from twelve to fourteen hours a day, of yoU | must set-U employment elsewhere.” U was hard 1 to submit to the unreasonable demands of the master, yet the sustenance of a family depended upon their employment, and they were compelled to accede to the demand. Particularly in Pitts burg did this spirit rffftnifost itself, and some of the operatives, unable to labor tho required time and Ho justice to themselves and families, found no way , of remedying (ho evil except by openly refusing to work longer than tho law required. Upon-their nfueal to comply with the laws made. by the monied lord, they were immediately dis charged. They werodismisscdfromemploynient —thrown owf of all means of supporting thoir families. Yet the Iron Masters and Cotton lords could not,afford to slop their manufactories, and they sent into another State, and there em ployed new hands. They were determined that those who had struck for their rights and the law, should starve, If (hey did not accede to their demands. Upon the arrival of the new operatives, those who had been dismissed, interfered and insisted that they should not go to work, that the situations they wore about to fill belonged .to them, by right, end that by tho loss of employ ment thoir families .would suffer, and informed It hem they would resist all attempts by which they would, in any wayfdjo the losers. The new operatives did go to work, and the old ones did resist, and fur that resistance they wcrotndictedf tried and. convicted of riot* Yos, for their de fence of the rights of the laborer, and the laws of Pennsylvania, they are sentenced to drag oot a miserable year in prison, while t'.oit families nro left destitute of a prplector—homeless and friend less, . depending upon the cold charities of the ! world for supporlr' This, indupd, is.a beautiful picture to rejoice over, and speaks well for the benevolent and philanthropic! character of Pitts burg. No doubt the editor of tho Gazette has <iia*)’ ardent admirers among the purse proud op* pressure of that city* and can exult over (ho expectation that the article from which the above extract is taken, Will bo lauded by the nabobs of the forge and loom. Wei), Mr. Gazelle, you can | rest assured, that nil whoso feelings arc at all I enlisted hi.the welfare and advancement of their fellow beings will dissent from the course you pursue, and will, treat your article, and die views you hold with, abhorrence end contempt. The time will soon bs when every operator, will bo n stockholder—when the present foul and wicked factory system will he abolished, and in Its -stead will spring, up one free from all the contemptible | and despotic usages which encumbers the pres* enf.
