PITT RBURGHs
SATURDAY MOR, NG, DECEMBER .4, 1847
Hoe. 'Mtn Bucuawatr.- I .4he communication
of Madison; '
which an for l cibly urges the selec
tion of . this distinguished statesman, as the Demo.
cranic nominee for the Presidency, came in too
late for insertion to-day. 1t will appear on Mon
day. . •
Mr..., Clay's Speech.---No, 3.
Iris truly humiliating, to think that a man
who has filled some of the highest office,' in the
country, and who has been thrice an aspirant
for the highest office in the gift of 'the People,
should boldly proclaim, in presence of theirorlil,
that American statesmen—the representatives of
the freest, the most intelligent, and most moral
people in the world, (a la'rge number of whom
are his own iolitical frie l pds,)—are not only
capable of uttering a lie; inotwi:bstanding their
acts as represetativea are performed under the
sanction of so oath; but that they have done so.
Mr. Clay has, however, said this. Thomas Cor•
win, of Ohio, who disgraces the name of en
Ainerlcan, has said that the friends of the adinin•
;" : ' '
istration thought to entrap ) v the Whigs, by insert
ing a lie in the bill making provision for carry
inj on the war with Mexico; but exultingly
exclaimed, that they failed in their attempt; for
the Whigs voted for the ibill , lie and all; and
Mr. Clay, following after, and endorsing Cor
win'a treason, asserts, that-4 a preamble was
inserted, falsely attributing the commencement of
the war to the act of Mexico." "No earthly
consideration would have ever tempted or pro
voked me to vote for a bill, with a palpable false
hood stamped on its face." •
Now what is the only.inference, that any man
of plain common Sense would draw, from sash
a statement—assuming it to be tale? It 1 is
'nothing less thaita" charge of perjury, against
every man, whether Democrat or Whig, who
voted for that bill ; and,' , if it were true, we
concei‘e that no one among that number, could,
if the criminal laws of the country were enforc
ed against him, escape frbm a State Prison, or
a Penitentiary, or, a sentence of perpetual dis
franchisement. Every member of Congress is
under oath to support the Constitution. That
instrument istrittly defines the duties of each
co-ordinate branch of the government. The
Congress of the United States, alone, under it,
has power to declare war; although the President
is required to defend the honor, and protect the
property of the people of the country, in case of
an invasion. In this matter them is nothing left
to his mere judgment ; for 'the Constitution and
Iters'clearly define the state' 9f affairs, in which
he is bound to act; and to secure his efficient
action, the whole army and navy are placed under
his command. In case of art invasion, he is bound
to act in accordance with his oath to support the
Constitution ; and, no matter what may be his
private views and wishes, he has no option : nor,
does the time, when an occiirience of the kind I
may take place, at all' affect his duty. In case
of invasion, he is required to act; and he is also
required to inform Congress. of the facts, and the
manner in Which he has acted. It is their solemn
duty to judge of those facts, and of the manner
irt_sybickhe has acted, and to hold him, to a strict
accountability. They dare nor, without a viola
tlon of their official oaths, either shield him from
Censure, or palliate his official • misconduct; and
the man who does so, would be as much guilty
of perjury, as the President, who should inform
Congress of estate of circumstances, not warrant
ed by facts; or who should' ' ceinceal from that
pody tbe acts which he had committed.
. In his message of May 11th, 18,16, Mr. Polk
yid—" Mexico has passed the boundary of the

Here was a statement of fact, the truth or false.
'-hood of which was self evident, to every member
of Congress. It was a matter abotit which there
was no room to doubt; for nil the circumstances,
tinder which both the government of Mexico, and
that of our own country had acted; were fully
detailed in the document stating this fact. The
causes of our difficulties with Mexico, were known
by all ; and every member of Congress equally
will knew, that war had been threatened by Mex
ico, and that she had taken the first preparatory
step to that act, on her part, by recalling her
envoy from the teat of our general government.
The territory between the N ueces
r and the Rio
Grande—the occupation of which is pretended to
have been the actual cause of the war—was xell
known to form a part of one of our own revenue
districts, so constituted by the very men, to, whom
the fact of the existence of war was thus made
known. All these matters were facts, well known
to every member of Congrdss at the time ; and
when the President asserted 'that. (by the act of
Mexico, in crossing the RiO Grande, and there
shooting down our countrymen, and after repeat-
ed declarations on her part of an intention to
make war upon us, and a formal declaration of
war—though then unknownl to us)—war existed,
every member knew that the assertion was found
ed in fact, and fact only. IHad there been any
reason to doubt this, it was i a duty, which every
one owed to his country, to his own conscience,
to the cause of eternal truth and justice, to
withhold his assent from that statement of fact;
and if he not only doubted but knew the stair
ment to be false, we care cot by VI hat party
name he may be called, or how high a station
he may have occupied iri society, or in our
government, be merits onl}l. the execrations of
every true patriot—of every honest man in the

We cannot believe that any man, occupying the
post of Senator or Representative in Congress, is
so lost to all sense of what is due to the charac
ter of his country, as to sanction the utterance of
a lie by his government; nor -can we conceive of
any state of circumstances, which would. in any
degree justify such a course. Even an evasion of
the truth, where truth ought to be given, is looked
upon, among individuals, as en act of moral tur.
pitude, amounting, in many 'cases, to crime; and
surely the man who can, in his public and official
Capacity, not only sanction, ,but actually utter a
lie, is unworthy of public confidence; and ought
tube branded as an enemy of his country. This
is a plain, and unequivocal assertion of great
criminality, on the part of 41 the Senators except
ing two, and nearly all-the members - of the House
of "Representatives. it has been made by one who
has shared largely in the fionors of his country ;
'and evil time, and under circumstances, when
every purely patriot soul is concerned for the hon.

bearing date on the 13th of January, 1845, Gen.!
Taylor is inforrilid, that "It is not . designed, in.
our present relations with Mexico, that you should
treat her as an enemy; but, should she assume)
that character, by a declaration o r 'f war, or any
open act of hostility towards us, ybu will not act

Rev. Robert J. Brackenridge,
-The following is an extract trout a letter, written
to the editor of the Washington Union, dated
Lexington', Kentucky, November 25th. The
Brackenridge family appear all to have their feel.
ings warmly enlisted in favor of their country's
cause. The Sermon of the reverends gentleman
most have been very pleasing to the ears of the
patriotic people of Lexington, after listening to
Mr. Clay's Mexican harangue:
The Rev. Robert J. Brackenridge preached a
thanksgiving sermon to-day, which mutt have
gladdened the heart of every patriot who heard.
him. He disclaimed all interference with politics;
but he could not help adverting to the war in
which his country was engaged. The savage
character of the enemy was portrayed in their
murder of poor Fanning and his men in cold blood.
in violation of the terms of surrender; and, instead
of improving in our good opinion by a more intl.
mate knowledge of the tyrants of Mexico, we
were compelled to consider them unfit for the
management of a civilized people. Mr Bracken
ridge rebuked the idea, in the strongest manner, of
any treaty with Mexico, which did not secure to
us greater advantages in our future intercourse
than we had heretofore enjoyed.
This, coming from one"of the first men of the
Presbyterian order in Kentucky, was most accept
able, after the many political and religious denun
ciations which is e have heard.
NATIO:VAL :::ONTIrWTION.-- The Washington
Union has the follo.ving remarks, relative to the
time and place of holding the next Democratic
National Convention, to nominate candidates for
the Presidency and Vice Presidency:
The tide runs strongly in favor of the 4th of
July. The democratic press has spoken emphati
cally in favor of that day, and we see no objection
to it. There are some, advantages in it, and no
serious mischief, if the spirit of harmony should
in the mean time preside over our party. "Every
thing for the cause, ,and nothing (or little) for
men." As to the . place of meeting, we shall not
discuss it. It iaol less consequence than some
presses suppose. If there be any real advantage
in changing the venue, why not leave it to a free
and liberal conference among the democratic mem
hers of Congress ?
We should be proud to see the democracy of
New York coming forth in their undivided strength.
She would, indeed, be 'potential, - but torn,as they
are, by their internal feuds, they are rapidly loosing
their strength and influence in the Union. Merit
bens of Congress with whom we have
.conversed,
hesitate not to say that, if these dissensions con.
tinue in New York, we must despair of her co.
operation, and elect the next President without
her vote. But it is hoped that these feuds wil
vanish, and that a more conciliatory and compro
mising spirit will animate each division of the
party, and bind together the whole democracy of
New York with that of the south and of tke
Union.
aj• At the request ilaf a subscriber, we top)
the following article oh the tea hour movement
from the American Statesman :
THE TEN HOUR MOVEMENT.
Since the Legistaturo of New Hampshire passed
a law declaring that ten hours should be consid
ered a day's labor, we-find the people in other
sections of the tlnion moving with a view to the
passage of similar laws by their Legislatures. We
learn that the factory operatives in several coun
ties in Pennsylvania are holding meetings to dis
cuss the subject, and that petitions to the Legisla
ture of the State are in circulation, asking the
passage of. a law limiting the hours making.a
day's labor to ten.
One great object of the law making power
should be to protect labor in the enjoyment of its
rights. It is indeed the peculiar province of gov
ernment to extend its protecting influence over
labor capital. Every other species of capital is
better able to take care of Itself than labor.—
While we admit that the rich and the poi), are
alike objects of governmental care,yet the former
have so many advantages that the special aid of
government is seldom tecessary for their prctec
Lion.
The Spirit of the

says that in the city o

Philadelehia litid the aijsining couuttiet we are
pleased to bear that the most enthusialA feeling
is manifestod on this subject, and that the employ
era are in many cases . cooperating with the opera
tives with a view to accomplish the reduction in
the hours of labor."
Labor directed by intelligence is far, more valu
able to the employer than that performed by the
ignorant. Remunerating prices paid free labor is
tar more profitable to the employer than unpaid
slave labor. The South see the prosperity of the
free manufacturing State, and say, *let us erect
factories and compete with the North." We tell
them they. never can 'while slavery exists among
them. They may fill their factories with slaves,
young and old, whose intellects are as dark as the
color of their skins, sett compete they never can
while slavery exists.. They argue that the cheap.
nese of slave labor gives them an advantage in
manufacturing. This: is a great 'mistake, and
they will find it out;when tried. .Neither have
they a substitute in the laboring white population.
They are a degraded class whose genius lies dor.
main,' and never can be developed so long as they
are surrounded by slivery. Emigrants from the
North and East will 'go among them and avail
themselves of all the advantages the South pos
sesses, as regards the establishment of manufacto
ries. Men whose genius and business habits have
been developed in the free States are to reap the
profits derived from :the manufacturing at the
South. Well paid free labor is necessary to the
prosperity of a. people. Encourage reflection
among the masses who ilibor, by giving them time
to exercise the or.ans.of thought, and you can
set no limits to the progress of man. Why are
there more new ands useful inventions in the
sciences and arts first- brought to light in this
country of freedom and comparative independence,
of the laboring classea, than in any other country

ANOTUER.firilltollfLr-MO3OiGAIiALAC Pail a/ -
&c.-During ihe late term of the Quarte?
•
Sessions, a petition was rireiented (so we under_
stood,)' asking for a'charter for a ciusterof build
ings above AlleghenY, Which theiitiabitsrts . pro.
posed to call Duquesne. We have, heard nothing
of it since';; but if the prayer of the petitioners
was not granted, it should have been; for the place
is of sufficient magnitude and importance to require
an organization.
Another borough charter is in contemplation, in
the neighborhood of this city. That portion of
Upper St. Clair towrrship lying between the Bk . .'
mingham line and the Clinton Iron Works, at the
the base of Coal Hill, has mounted up within the
past two years to such.a position, that a govern
ment is absolutely necessary. it is now called
South Pitt. The population is increasing with
great rapidity. Manufacturing establishments,
private dwellings, &c., are in progress of erection.,
The Ormsby estate has been parcelled out into
"town lots," as our readers know, and many and
valuable improvements have been made. No part
of our county exhibits So many indications of
progress as the little precinct referred to. Three
years ago, we could stand upon this side of the
river, anein a moment count all the buildings, of
every descriptiOn, it contained; now, there are
" countless numbers."
We hope the charter may be granted ; unless
there should be a desire for consolidation—a
union of Birmingham. and South Pitt. Should
this latter course be adopted, we would soon
hear of an application for another city charter.—
This we would like too.
On Thursday, though it was gloomy, muddy
and disagreeable generally, we took a stroll across
the Wire Suspension Bridge, to see what was to
be seen in that neighborhood, We dropped into
a new establishment—and a very extensive one
it is, as well as interesting to a visitor. We
refer to the ' , Monongahela Planing Mill" of Mr.
Jas. MILLINOAR. It is situated about three
hundred yards above the bridge, on the bank of
the river. It has been in operation since October.
We were shown through it, by the gentlemanly
proprietor; and were much gratified. Ttus far
the establishment has met with unprecedented
success., We learned that, from the start, the
machinery has been kept running from the dawn
of morning till 9 o'clock in the "eirening—sol
great .was the demand for work. The three
planing machines turn out about eight thousand
ket of boards per day. One of them panic
tarty excited our curiosity; it planes both sides
of a twenty-two inch plank at once. This is a
feat not performed by any other machine in the
west. They were made by Messrs. Fink 4r Pren
iss, of New Jersey; and are deemed superb as to
workmanship.
There are four Circular Saws kept constantly
on the buzi; and an " up and down" for splitting
plank, has been running all the time.
A Moulding. Machine, of very ingenious con
struction; and which turns out the best work, was
in running order. It appeared to be a v ry corn
plicated contrivance; but no doubt it i
enough when one understands its 'mo
One thing is certain, it performs neat w
quickly.

said to be unequalled in every respect.
cylinders are two feet stroke, and eleven i
diameter. There are tw•o thirty inch
thirty eight feet long.
Though not mechanic enough to ap
fully the value of the improvements int
into these engines, we could nevertheless
there was something novel in their construction;
which, we were told, added greatly to their value ;
compared to the engines now in use in such mills.
The names of the manufacturers are sufficient
guaranty that the engines are of superior work
manship.
The arrangements for burning shavings and
rubbish, without endangering the building, afruck
us as being excellent. We — regard it as impossi•
ble that:fire could be Communicated to any eom
bustible material in the building, by accident.—
'I he shavings are let into a firebrick vault, through
trap doors, and run into the furnaces in quick
time. The vault doors are of iron.
About eight hands are employederith the Planing
Machines, the Saw Moulding Machine and Engine.
These are enabled to do the work of sixty men I
Those philosophers who have been so much a.
!armed at the increase of labor among mechanics,
may here find an item for ti`lecture but , we war-
rant that it is all for the better, in the end, and
time will prove it so.
On the third story, we found a.number of car
penters, busily employed on nteamboatyvork. Ma
chinery wilt this winter be introduced - jrito the
apartment, for the manufacture of window sash,
- door frames. &c.,&c. The proprietor is well known
to river men, as an extensive builder of steamboats
cabins. We presume he could not estimate the
number he has erected. He has now six in pro
gress, of which 'is to be the finest that ever
floated upon the Western rivers—we mean the new
Wisconsin. We were shown a draught of the in
side of her cabin, drawn by Mr. Kerr; whose valu
able services Mr.'Millingar has secured.
The " Monongahela Planing Mill " turns out
work for builders in all directions. On Thursday
a lot of boards were being run through for a man
up the river. BirminghaM, Sligo, and other places,
give much employment to these `machines; but
en immense amount of work comes to this side
of the river.
When a Planing Mill superior to Mr. Mil
lingar's is established in this vicinity, or any
where in the West, we will take pleasure in noticing
