fortune to, be present, asin invited guest, at three
of these parties, viz: at 'Townsend'ein Manches
ter; at Livingston, Roggen& Co's,Novelty Works;
and at Knap & Totten's, Fort . Pitt Works. We
shall never forget the truly beautiful remarks linede
by Mr. Totten, on the occasion to which we refer.
They seemed to go . home to the heart of every
working man present. A practical mechanic him
self, be-cOuld not be any thing else than the me
chanic's` and working,than s friend. By perseve.
ranee and , honest industry, he has raised himself
from a poor boy and a journeyman, to an inde
pendant and comfortable position in society. His
present wealth has not made him proud, or for
getful of the rights and interests of the working.
man.
For the benefit, of the, cotton cospiralors, who
are using every effort in , tbeir power to injure our
business, in consequence of our advocacy of the
- ten hour system, we copy belbw from our files a
report of the rein - arks of IL% Totten, made on the
occasion to which we have alluded. It will be
seen that long before the ten hour law was passed,
he avowed himself to be its warm and decided
friend; and he was willing to go even farther, and
adoipt eight hours as a day's labor, at the proper
time We would not •be astonished to find the
hired scribblers of the conspirators against law
and labor attack kr. Totten, as an "enemy to the
interests' of Pittsburgh !!"
Ma. Tarries arose, and - responded ..ter this stied-
Ment. His remarks were enrceedingly appiepriate,
and delivered with an ease and fluency, which we
have Seldom seen equalled in a person not habitue:

head as well as 6- his heart. :Humor sparkled, and
the laugh went round ; then again he was serious
.and instructing; and he closed with thoughtful Te.

pees of the workingmaa; whom it WAS his aspire.

on which his employer stands. In order that this
May be accomplished, hamust bare leisure to col
tivate the ietellect which God bus given bim, and
enlarge the sphere his affeetions. The records of
every man , s life, he said, were written in tears and
smiles. -If we want taplease Heaven, we must do
all wacan to wipe away tears from the others eyes;
and add as many smiles as possible to theft:lM of hu
man enjoyment. To do this successfully we should
begin in our families; with those in our employ

circle of happineas will then enlarge itself, until it
touches the shore of a brighter world. Mr. T. felt
that apprentices were o- vorneglected class of be

ed the deepest chord in the minds of his auditors,
was when hadeclared himself in - favor of legisla

favor of lhelen hour system: He believed he was
.the first employer in Pittsburgh to adopt it, and he

enough. The, progress of rights. Should not stop

.hari its
claims; the`social' affections' had their demands to

quire a perioiFot amuaement.and recreation. Al.
though, individually, he would like to free the time

than he is, no man Would more willingly make per-,
Sonal sacrifices than he to sustain the peace of the
law and the community. tire have,. ourselves,
watched his course in this disputed Matter and really
see no ground for such charges as those with whiCh
he has been assailed. True, ho Sympathised with the
unfortunate, felt for them, in their troubles.' This
is creditable to, his manhoo& The differen ce be.
tween`him and his assailants is simply this: Harper
thought the factory, girls and bands Were right in
endeavOring.to prevent the violation o 1 a law made
for their 'protection. They however violate& law
themselves. For this they,deserved pity rather than
vengence. Much, is to .be forgiven in behalf of
those who honestly resist . what they deem oppreo:
sion. We shall give room shortly in our columns
to Judge Patton's'oiirpa in this case, so that the law
on thissubject maybe more , generally understood.
We wish, however, to see justice Bono to our friend
Harper, by all parties.
We clip the following statement from the Post..
On this one fact, we think Mr. Harper finds ample
vindication from the -attacks he has sustained.
[He here inserts our statement in relation to the
personal and successful etforts we made to prevent
an attack. upon Kr. Kennedy, and a renew') of the
riots at the Union factory.]
Slanders by the Wholesale.
The New York Globe isconstaisly meddling with
the affairs of this State. Here is another slap :
" Pennsylvania is fast becoming civilized. 'ln
Pittsburgh. they imprison the poor factory girls for
resenting being scalded with hot water, and, in the .
Quaker City, the authorities lock up the starving
newsboys, who had rather work than steal !
Meanwhile, rowdies and rioters desecrate the Sab
bath ad tibitum!
Well, it , it a way they have, ht those latitudes."
We copy the above for lire purpose of calling the
attention of the' sinuous scribblers of the Joirrnal ,
thereto. It is too bad that the fair name of the Old.
Keystone State should be slandered in this wise.--
The factory conspirators will certainly give the Ed
itor of the Globe a good dose of scalding water, if
he'ever should set his foot within the Manor of Penn.

ary!—an encourager of riots! Gave a care, sir,

A Voice from Butler Comity:
The Butler Democratic Herald, one of the most
unwavering Republican prints in the west, takes the
follotiring notice of tpo persons who commenced the
crusade against this establishment, by crying "STOP
MY PAPER," rut punisAment for our advocacy of the
ten hour law the rights of the laboring classes:
The above is taken, it will be . perceived, from the
Pittsburgh Morning Post. We do not know much-,
even by report, of those whose names are mentioned
above, with one exception; and we _base watehed
hispeculiar course, politically, fur the last few years.
We mean Mr. J. 4C Moorhead. It is, perhaps,
enough to say of him, that he is now, and has been,
a Whig in principle; since we first heard of him, and
that his political predilections have been almost
entirely with the Whig party. _ -
The Democracy or Allegheny county have more
virtue and consistency, than to - permit wrong to
triumph over tight—they will certainly sustain the
editor that advocates and defends the rights and
liberties of the laboring classes against the lawless'
encroachments or grasping monopolists, who have
violated the spirit and intention of the wise and hu
mane ten hour law.
_ .
' - The iiPeniltentO ,
- }ham—l have just seen a copy of the
Journal with a parody on my last communication
to the Post. It is Certainly smart The writer of
it professes to bee +Penitent," who, if be had read
the journal 'before the + riot" of the 4, girls' at
Kennedy's Mill, would not now he a "eonniet." And
he says--"JudgePattan's law is good enough for
me, &c." But the 'spice of the letter is, it encloses
$l2O to the editor of the Journal!
Mr. Harper, I' have a fancy that this letter is
from one of the proprietors of the factory, who is
now "he!d to law" to answer to serious charges
liefore,a Court of Justice. The large sum of mon.
ey is a partof Riddle's charge for his attack upon
the rights of labor. The tone of the letter is aris..
tocratic. Working men never sneer at their cal
ling. Such a fetter, if from a workingman, could
only have been written by a slave who would lick
the feet of his master, My communication may
be thrown into ridicule, as I have not the art of
languagei but my motives will be understood by
plain men like myself. I assure you, Mr. Harper,
no motives of vanity prompts me; I only strive to
make you feel that you have the strong heart of
the people with you.. They are not all so blind
that they cannot see and know their friends._
While Capital, that rolls in coaches and dwells in
palaces, claimsprotertion, it would deny the right
ofprotection to labor. Money must for ever in_
crease in the hands of the rich; but human hands
may wear to the stumps, and human sweat wear
furrows on the brow ; and who daTeB to ask for a
little rest for the human machine, even if it. has a
soul in itt
Those who talk about "riots, - in the bought up
prates, are knaves. The people are not fools.—
The working men know their rights as freemen,
and they have ever been the foremost in protecting
the legal rights of every citizen: But they haye
human hearts and sympathies. 'The ;iris who
broke the windows of lienneily's lector) , weresore
fy provoked. They did wrong, but was not wrong
&Me first to them? They were poor, and poverty
should be humble. If they had the two hours they
claimed under the law, to have cultivated' their.
minds, they might have learnt that' the Master.'
taught it is more blessed to bear then to resent in •
juries.
On the trial of the
,girls, the working masses
sympathised with them; but arelhey alders and
abettors of riots " on that account, is you, Mr.
Harper, are charged with being, for haying the
same sympathy? - Are-they, toovhostife to:" the
interests ot Pittsbargh?" What folly!• If a;store
or factory was on fire, who, :would rise in
,the hour
of midnight, to put it out, regardless of the storm,
and risk their health and theirlives to suit the
property of the citizens? -I answer, the. very men
who sympathised with the poor girls on their tri

New Paper.
in yesterdays Journal we read a Prospectus for a
. new. Democratic Paper', which is to appear in-this ci
ty on the First of April. It is to be edited by Jo
sElls SNOWDEIP, Esq, a gentleman of experience in
the management of newspapers; and who possesses
considerable ability. It is to be Democratic.. That
our readers may know something or the aimsof the
new paper we copy the following' from the Journal
in relation .to. it - - -
•
