Our course inthis matter having heen dictated to us by melt motives and such konaiderations, we know Of no power that could deter,.no temptation that could seduce Mt from its just - and legitimate prosecution. -We are convinced, indeed; that the factory con tipautona,,the persecutors of the, widowand the ,or plisqthe'prinsectitors of little girls, the tramplers on therights of_ human labor, thought differently. They _ ,, vitifidently believed , that if they could no t Arivells into open advocacy oftheir tyrannical surea, they Would at least-force us into silence as to the`ruinous coactpaences, to society, of their crimi- nal designs: - But we can readily account, for the mis take into which'they have fallerk--the blind deltision smiler Which they bare labored. Their trust was in their :IVEALitt, their confidence in the Powta which liing - ....sperience told them wealth could wield• ~itherto-, they forced almost every thing to yield be fore ihe influence--of wealth. At its approach, the gates - of Fashion opened for them; it starved labor into Subinisiimi, it even overawed from time to time the.legialition of the land:; Aid then, what could it not purchase for its favored possessors I Into its lap are poured nfl the - sensed pleasures of this world ; nay, we bare seen that it even procures a welcome invitation to the`highestseats in the Temples which . were designed by their sublime Founder, to be only the vestibule's that should conduct to the pure and holy j'o'ys of atiother world. , And:again, to descend to the meanest and lowest of all low and mean things, we have observed with whaffacility it could buy up - aJiireling scribbler to write, and a venal press_ to publish, false and 'defamatory articles, fo r the purpose of gratifykng a depraved malice against tho Rost and its humble editor. But, while wealth ' is thus powerful, While it has done, and can do, so thete is one thing in which it is powerless We tell our defamers, those scoffers at the ig claims of lionnest labor? those tramplers on the g , rights of .rnati that all, their wealth combined cannot cause ietegrity to swerve from itelonest co unie, nor seduce constientions judgment from its sincere conviction. And now /et us see what is the true issue which these men have forced before the public: On the 28th dual' March last, an Acta the Leg- islature of Pennsylvania min passed, entitled « An Act to limit diabetics of labor, and to prevent the employment, in factories, of children under twelve yeacasf age: , This act - declares, “that labor per formed daring .a period or tenlours, on any secular day, in all cotton, woollen; silk, paper, bagging and flax factories, atudl be considered a legal days labor; engaged in and that erefter, no m inor or ad u lt; ha lt any such ntctoneir, shall be holden or required to, work more than ten hours on any secular day, or si*y - hunnt. in any secular week. ,, And the act rut tier (as if to make it more solemn and to clothe it ;with more patriotic associations) designated and fix 'ed the Nation's Jubilee, the 4tb day of July last, as the date on 'and from which, for certain ptirposes, it stiould gO into.operation. The Jaw. was passed in . TSbedience to the loud demands and pureuant to the kitown wishes of at least fonr-fifths of the people of —the commonwealth ; and its enactment was deemed advisable and necessary, in consequence Of the as. . certained cruel and tyrannical treatment of some factory ploprieturs towards the poor and helpless .. .cbildren in their employ, and subject to . their con trot- " • The Poi. =of this enactment haikuk and nnam bigaousr-itfsy ~t o limit the hours of labor.n The to be pieyeated is express and anequivocalr7 it. is, the employment qf minorsjn factories for Morelkm ten howrs on any sermlar day: , The 000 D • to be effected by it is as evident by inference, as the _evil to be remedied is by vvords„—it is, to - afford sle- A rica time and kistirearut opportunity; for the'im; l 'provenent and cultivation of the physical, moral and intellectual health of the children whoth destitution or ' :paverti nthy,foice to seek such mid° limeys t. Such, then, being the -obvious policy of the law, such the r eof' it promised to -prevent, and such the :-good it was designed to.accomplish:—let us see horn and by whom that admirable polfcrwas evaded and circumvented,—that crying evil perpetrated, and that desired good rendered nugatory and abortive. 4, • It is a disgraceful and deplorable fact, that the law in question:veal scarcely passed by the-Legislature, ere. the factory yroprietors concocted an Infitmous scheme to defeat ail its wholesome requisitions. Of course we do not mean ALL the factory proprietors • 'for, - as we'have often heretofore mentioned in our paper, - there are honorable exceptioni; nor do we _refer-to any of the factor:) , preprietors at a distance. Mir speak only of some of these in our own immedi ate vicinity, whose conduct came under our direct observation, and with this qualification we say, and it is a Melancholy fact, that the ink with which the '•-• _benign law was writieti, was scarcely dry upon the stnime hook, before certain factory proprietors coat . liitted together to effect its strangulation---to blast elf the blooming 'anticipations its paaaage had erigen dered; and to fling igain, 'alike over the hopes of ehildhood'and old 'age, the.dark and cheerless pall -'of unrequited labor, .proloaged beyond human, _. 'durance. And further, seemingly with the view :not merely of counteracting all_ the objects of the law, andurrogantly trampling on the rights of those whom •it was its avowed intention to protect,—but, as it -- - . _ a castslur upon the Legislature itself, the very day On-Which the law was to have gone into opera tion, as before stated, the 4th. of July, was, we are informed, contemptuously selected for the pirriteae of prcaenting,to the children engaged in their facto. sip', and their "parents or guardians,l , for signature it paper by which they , were to forego and waive "as mammas? all the rights and benefits the Legisla tare had guaranteed to them. _That paper we have never seen;:but , we are assured that it was 'drawn up guardedly aid in technical style, but to the hon.

Unlike the fatigued end wearied son of the patriarch' of old, they refused to sell their birthright fora mess of po , , tage ; they would . not be willing partieso the _ sun and cancellation admit dearmt tights. But this refusal by the operatives,, to barter' awai their statutory rights, was'assignedby the proprietors as a good and -sufficient reason for If stopPingl". the factories. And ct atop" hem they did ; and for weeks and weeks they kept them " stopped."-- Merrning alter merning the poor factory operatives I. • rose from their restless couches, above them in . the clear bright heavenehone the glorious luminary. of day;—aroundthem nature's rich abundance &prima ed froth the fertile earth ;—all God's blessingSwere smiling visibly on the world ; hat with'angnish they -beheld their little hoard, frentwhich they supplied the moat Pressing 'wants, rapidly dintiiiiithing. They naturally approached the accustomed scene of their fernier daily toils; therethey were met by the with the scroll, saying to them, as did the demon unto Faust," sign-sign the contract." But Still they held out; stilt they refused to sign. And by-and-by, all their little pecuniary means were ex haunted; and article after article of furniture and wearing;apparel 'was disposed Of, to satisfy , the more urgent craving for food, But still the employer would riot relent; •and - their Stole proposition was still, "sign-sign the contract." And now came some small contributions front the hands of pitying private charity; and , they were thus enabled to hold out a-little longer. And then the poor facto/mills held public meetings in the market place, to vindi cate their rights, and sympathise with their suffer- . ingsc Oh I how sweet is . the voice of sympathy to those who s u ffer! And they were. addressed by orators, on the, eve 'of the late elections, who told them' that their cause was just and right, and that the law -was with them,—and advised them to hold out a little longer. And amongst those orators who thus addressed them, it issaid, was the learned and accomplished senior counsel of Apse very factory proprietors, who afterwards prosecuted them for a slot! Rut no matter foi that, T. we are only giving a cold narrative of the facts out of which glow the roam the factory proprietors hare presented. Oh I what shrewd and sagacionet judges of the power of human endurance to , sustain its load of accumulated misery, were these same fictery pro prietors. Like the sorgeon stationed beside the cul prit undergoing the brutal punishment of the lash, they could calculate every pulsation wrong by mis ery and , starvation from their victim's breasts. And when they saw gaunt hunger in. the operative's !' hollow cheek," and, famine on her " caverned eye," then they knew that the hour of their triumph was at band indeed: And now the fatal scroll was again presented ; and again was heard hissing In the operatives' ears the words so -often before rejected, a sign,—sign the contract." And if was signed by some! ! . Oh ! btame not the poor- marring children I— . Blame not the wretched agonized parents I Think - how wretchedness prompted„—think how, misery arged.—think how 'hunger goaded them to the act ! The good and the pious may well heave a sigh—the humane and benevolent may well shed a tear, over the piteous scene. But ye r ho. roll in lusury, ye favored children of earthy ye pampered minions of fortune, dare' not ye to utter one word of reproach !, Ye neither know the magnitude of the sacrifices these poor sufferers made, nor the intensity of the agony by which that sacrifice was exacted I It was sigied by , some!' And then the factory bells were made to sound a joyful peal, and the fac tory 'proprietor* shouted• a .loud " huzsa ! "—and " victory 11 1 " victoryl" was proclaimed by the venal press, that had been ,rrupted by the factory proprietor's patronage and gold I I It was signed by some ! And to the factory they hied ; but not asfiad been their wont. They seem ed ashamed ; - they went rotted ihe,dark content they endeavored Itsavoid observation I they .east 'their eyes to the ground ; they started avenue their own'shadows. And yet, poor things I what could they, do but go 1- • It was signed by some_! Bet others there were, the great majority, who still rSfused ; who were' till unwilling to bend the knee in abject submission; and sign the fatal contract. And they gathered around the ActOry to see what was going on.; cariosity nat urally attractedthem. There were.to tie seen on the streets around girls of all ages, front the tender years of tenor twelve up to the maturity of woman.. hood,--tho accustomed wo , kers in that factory.— And they looked en, and gathered more rind more. And they saw how gloomy were their prospects, and h,w hopeless, without one cheering ray, was the dark vista or their future lives, that lay open before them. And the girls gathered more and more; and the youngest, ever the most curious, crowded closest to the factory walls. And without one single act of violence or outrage being committed on- their part, oh I disgrace to' humanity ! sialding water. and the tuning steam were thrown from the engine upon the poor children huddled there; and one or more little girl - was carried away, screaming with pain, and the tattered skispeeling off from Iher young cheeks.— And then some rotten eggs and mud were thrown by the girls. And this, sets, was the " bold, palpa ble and aggravated riot! I l" These are the prominent facts of the cask, as we have learned them. • And forthis (belittle girls were prosecuted by :the , factory proprietors;—none but private counsel appearing , and pleading before court and jeri, on the part of the prosecution. If it was a" bold, palpable and aggravated riot," where was the Commonwealth's counsel 1 Why was his voice not heard t The Mayor and the Police of Allegheny City, the public officers of the law, were present at' the scene ; "why did they not institute the proaecu lion,' if it wits a "bold, palpable and aggravated riot 7" ' - , In view of Such a case as we have endeavored to present to the reader's notice, we blush not to say, we felt pity, and expressed sympathy for the'unforto nate victims. Nay, more, we felt indignation, and expressed it, too, at the conduct of their purse proud persecutors. • , But they got . a verdict; and a jury pronounced those girls, some of whom were but children, guilty of a riot."

But they must be told, and taught to unders ta nd, that the , , rapid accumulation of princely fortunes,. by them selves, is not the only a manufacturing corn munityls bound to prefect and - secure.

' And they would find, on entering the House of when pressing their knees upon the velvet cushioned stool, how softer than the cushion's don ny pressure is the •voice that whispers to the 'sinner's troubled soul-- . "peace l peace - nrriends of Law and Order." • This is the stereotyped title which the' conspira tors against law and labor, are pleased to assume fo; themselves. They are the "friends of law and or der"—they monopolize all the decency and gentil ity that is going; and those who are in favor of the ten hour law, are "litwless ruble," and !ignorant workingmen." , Since the formation of our Gov ernment, the Federal party, at all times, have arro gated to tbemselves the name of "friends of law and Order;" and the Democracy, who wiscied to do away with,' British laws, British customs andßritish titles, have been stigmatised as a "turbulent mob, unfit for self-governnzent." For proof of this, we refer the reader to Carey's Olive Branch—the old Democrats elf the present day, will remember those things. For the "protection" of the poor laboring men, women, and children, the Legislature last winter passed the ten hour law. The proprietors of the cotton factories, being opposed to every measure that has a tendency to benefit labor, entered into a 'combination—an illegal, indictable combination— to violate the spirit of the law; and the awful con sequence of this violation on their part was the• riots of July, at the Penn factory. But these con spirators, getting all their ideas of law and morals from despotic England, declare that they have a prerogative to do as they please—that they can do no wrong." They may set the laws of the State at defiance—they may oppress and tyrannise over the laborer—they may ILA scalding water upon the poor girls at the factories. and then have them Prosecuted as rioters for resenting the in jury—they may persecute the proprietors of the Star factory for abiding by the law of the State— they may undertake to break down a Democratic newspaper for its honest advocacy of the laboring classes—they may do all this; and, then with their long purses, hire base, lying and reckless Scoun drels to &Mil us tilfallgh their pensioned presses, and eulogise themselves as patterns of decency, morality and hodesty—as "friends of law and order " !I ! We were once acquainted with a venerable and excellent' judge, who in the olden time rode mes a very extensive circuit in Ohio, to hold court.

" The Journal of the Franklin Institute " cob tains a statement showing the results of a vast num ber or'experiments relative to theitaddles of steam ers, their figure, dip, thickness, material, number, &c., made by Mr. Eubank on the Beam river, sloe ..45,by which it is made epparent to thereon common understanding that by otitis fewer paddles of an im proved construction the voyage between Boston and Liverpool would he shortened over ten data. I. That to render the paddles or steamers more effectual, they ought to be fashioned, TM far as cir cumstances aanction, after the models tbreisheil dy nature so as to could/et to her practice of contract. ing surface when resistance is of little and, and tending it when resistance is greatest, to give thic largest portions of blades the longest strokes. 2. That the fewer the paddles in a Wheel the bet. ter, provided, one paddle be always kept in full play; and hence that it would be better to point or fork them, to evade the jar on the surface or the water, than _to split and. multiply them, as the common practice is. In, the tails of fins and fishes, - and wingi of bird" end insects, nature has nowhere sane tinned a rectangular propeller ; all are inclined to equilateral, scalennes, or isesceletie triangles, or are Mode up of them I nor does she ever unite the the levers that work them to their sides ; the June lien is /Always at an angle that the largest surface may nave the longest sweep. 3. That smooth and thin metallic plates should be substituted for the usual, thick, wateeseaked plank. At preaent, perhaps, nothing better than boiler plates,galvanized, could be adopted, but eventually heppines that plates ofsteel will Loused,as steel will supply the thinest sheets to resist the pressure they are to oppose. 4. The bolt-heads, nuts, cleats, straps, and every other projection upon or about paddles,&c., should be provided against, the arms of wheels reduced at their outer extremities, and the immersion of all superfluous material avoided. 6. That when wheels require balancing, or their monentum to be increased, the weights should be attached to the arms above the surface of the Water. - . 6. To coat paddles, and parts that plunge with them, with varnish or other substances that repels water, in order that the fluid, instead of being drag ged up in volumes by them may roll frem them ns from the backs of diving birds. .Tho English rule as to the number of paddles, is to have one for every fool of a wheel's diameter, which makca them stand three feet apart. Mr. Eu bank thinks that the greater the velocity of a steam er's wheels, the fewer (within certain limits) should be the blades ; and that, at the rote at which some of our beats go, the number might be reduced with advantage. The Atlantic and the Pacific, each of 3,000 tons, now building for the Collins' lines, are to ..have three inch paddle pinids, (the usual think nem of those in United States steamers.) The At lantic is to have twenty-eight blades, or seven feet thickness of plank in each wheel, being a fifth of its diameter—about five hundred cubic feet of tint. tier in both—displacing 30,000 lbs. or. water at ev ery revolution, and neutralizing it as a resisting inn diem'. The ship will thus lose seven feet stroke nt every turn of her wheels: Thicken her paddles till they touch, and they will form a revolving drum for which a grindstone might be substituted with equal effect. Mr. Ewhank would prefer to reduce the seven.feet of plank -to a space of seven inches in each wheel, by using quarter inch iron. The sharper the dipping edges of' the puddle are made, the more back-water they throw off when the reac tion favors the ship's progress, and less. le carried higher than the aria. A very little labor would makti . their section a wedge, and the benefit would, as Mr. E.:assures us, repay the expenditurea..a bun. deed ,fold. The thinner the blade, the more efficient aft tpropelle! it is -=the longer its stroke, the more effectual the . power- that wields it. The outward bottiidaries of tbe wings of birds are feathered off to almost nothing. New Pibileatlons. Prue?; or the Old Love and the Now.

Groves of wild heliotrope line either side of the road nearly the whole distance. Strawberry vines overrun the country; and we gathered a few days since, about a dozen ripe berries. Soon they will be abundant. Wild gooseberry .bushes, too, grow in great profusion. The fruit is small; but by crib tivation would be greatly improved.
