It seems thet,this distinguished New England
manufacturer -thought that a residence at the city
of Washington Would prove injurious to his health.
This is the reason assigned by some of the Whig
:editors %chyle declired (I) a place in Gen. Tay
lor's Cabinet. The general opinion, however, ap
peals 'to be that he was anxious to take charge of
the Treasury Department, bat Gen. Taylor, know
ing his ultra opinions on the subject of " protec.
Lion," 'deemed it advisable to get along without
his assistance. We think it likely that this is
the true state of the case. Mr. Lawrence is a
gentleman who has acquired a large amount of
information in relation to the business affairs of
the country. He has been successful in business
himself, and has amassed an immense fortune in
manufacturing. He belongs to a class of political
economists who practically assert the odious doe.
trine that the " Government should take care of
the rich, and the rich will take care of the poor. -
He believes that manufacturers alone should be
the recipients of the protective " favors of the
government, and that all other interests, mare•
time, agricultural, mechanical, &c , are of second
ary importance. Had Mr Lawrence been selected
to preside over the Treasury Department, it would
have an acknowledgement thi‘there was a
necessity for restoring all those obnoxious and
obsolete opinions in regard to protection,'" which
have been repudiated by all sensible men, and by
all christian governments on earth. We do not
- believe that Gen. Taylor wishes to run into any
of these mad schemes of Whig folly. He no
doubt desires his administration to be popular
and successful, and will therefore deem it to be
his duty to reject all "ultra ' 1 measures, and repu
diate all "ultra" politicians. For him to adopt
any other course would insure the speedy downfall
of his administration.

The Post Office at Sbelleburgb, in Bedford coun
ty, is kept by a very respectable and intelligent
lady, the widow Sasss. She btu managed its
affairs, since the death of her lamented husbaod,
(who was the former postmaster.) with the ut
most fidelity, care and attention, and has rendered
universal satisfaction, to all those who have trans
acted business throuih the made. It appears,
however, since the election of Gen. Taylor to the
Presidency, that some animals (it *mild be a
base libel to call them men,) belongingio the
"whig" party, are making efforts to bare the poor
widow removed from said. office, and one of them'
selves appointed in her place! For shame! for
shame! The wretches who would be guilty of
such an' act of unparallelled meanness, would en
ter the 'sanctuary of• the dead, at the boar of mid
night, and steal the shroud from the corpse ! A
similar attempt is being made to remove the Post
mistress at Brody Run, in this state i but we can
not for a moment believe that Gen. Taylor will
countenance or approve such outrageous proceed
ings. We believe the Old Chief will spurn from
his presence the vile wretches who would attempt
to take the bread from the widow and fatherless.
K3l' The Journal denies very positively that the
circulation of the Past among retail grocers and
country merchants is greater Ann any other city pa
per. Well,,we do not know that there is any way
of proving which of us speaks trials, but we adhere
to our assertion (rid are willing that it should go fur
just what its worth and nothing more) that the Post
is taken by more of the small capital business
men of the cities and -boroughs of this county, and
by more country merchants, than any other paper
published here. We judge so from a glance at the
names upon our subscription list ; and, also, nom
the fact that more than one half of these classes of
dealers are Democrats.
We do not wish to say anything that will detract
ought from the commercial character of the - Journal.
There are many advantages to be derived from ad
vertising in its columns, and business men In this
city know it. But why shall we not make known
the advantages offered by the Post t
We would rather beg from door to door for daily
bread than be guilty of the meanness which has mark
ed the cburse of the Journal towards the Post.—
Will Mr. Riddle be injured by our gain t We think
not. 1 . 4 713 only desire that the truth may be known
by those who have patronage to bestow. It is an
impression too common that, bemuse the Post is the
organ of the workingmen and the poor people gen
erally, that , merchants do not read it. This is a mis
take and wo wish to correct itfor our own sake
and : for the sake - of the business of the city. There
is hill a merchant, nor manufacturer, nor business
man in either of the cities, that does not read our
paper daily,. whether they subscribe or not. That
we have a circulation among a class of people who
but seldom, if ever, see the Journal, we feel satis
fied.
Now, that we have written what we intended to
soy in reply to the Journal, we have bethought our
self. This Is too small a matter for us to quarrel
about—but not for some editors, it would seem.—
But, yet, we will let our reply see the light, and
bate we drop the matter; at leak, until the Journal
makes another "crusade e, upon our business.

Remarks of Mr. Slots.
&ifl4 of the Speech delivered by Me.:Kbort,inrno".
,ICtufrom Carbon, on the bill No 499, "An eat
(or the protection otililinire, Mettle:nice anti
-borers,' , —(in all bratreiten'nf bunineini)
.
I A. commenced by Saiing-t4hatlyAvaittiothii
illiention to have sai&onirw,,Nd on this subject; for
v
heonsidered that mor - iitor4otent members and
men of more experience than what he could lay
claim to, should raise their soirees in rtvor er this
all-important measure. But, sir, said he, altiniugh
lam not just prepared to speak on this as I' would
like, I cannot set in' my seat and see this bill made
abortive by amendments that would render it nuia
tory. Let, sir, those that have made professions for
these worthy ,ChillaCl, (yes, classes that have done
more for the benefit of the State than any othhetist
dwell in this old Commonwealth.
I am for acting up to profession, made; and mem•
tiers that will not do so, should be known to their
constituents. We all boast on the eve of elections,
of our love and great fidelity in these people; and
shall it be now said, that the moment we procurel a
seat here, by deception or any other moos, that we
will turn a deaf ear to those that above all othe r s
reqqire our sympathy and regard. I trust not, sir ;
I feel that every member here will cast his-vote on
the side of justice and humanity. Who are these
people that this bill protects 't Men thatibring wealth
and renown on our State; men, sir, whose lab'or
and industry have made the whole country what it
is, prosperous and happy. Capital gets legislative
protection; capital has always been protected. Is
it reasonable then, to ask for humanity's sake, that
protection will be extended to II bone of our bode
and flesh of our flesh." This bill only contemplates
justice to those persona that perform the work. Is
not the laborer worthy of his hire 1 Common sense
will say yea. Then, I call on all, be he Democrat
or Whig, or yet Native, to come up to that crisis
and cast that vote which will not injure but do good
to all mankind. I have no fear. but what this bill
will pas. But let it pass without mutilation. Let
it assume a shape that it will benefit those that it is
intended to. It is reasonable to expect, Mr.
Speaker, that capital made stronger by the sweat
pouring from the brows of the toiling masses, should
have extended to them this bill, containing three
small sections, commencing thus, " that in all as
signments of property, whether real or personal,
which shall hereafter be made by any person or per
sons, or chartered company, engaged in the mining
of coal, either as owners of the soil or having a
lease of coal mine or mines, of by any person or
person owning or leasing machine shops or foundries,
furnaces, forges and rolling mills, to trustees or as.
on account of inability at the time of at
moment to pay his or their debts, the wages of mi
ners, mechanics and laborers, employed by such
person or persons, or chartered company, in and
about such business aforesaid, shall be first prefer
red and paid by such trustees or assigneca,befure any
other creditor or creditors of the assignor, except
claims for rent, which should be first paid : the out
play to be distributed according to existing laws.
Provided, that the claims of mechanics, laborers and
miners, thus preferred,thall not ezeeed fifty dollars."
This, gentlemen, is the point to consider; but
the yeas and nays will show who are the pure friends
of those much injured persons; those people, some
of whom, are, as it were, hurried from the early
dawn of the morning until the going down of the
sunlight of heaven, in boring from the bowels of '
the earth, the mineral resources that makes our State
what it is, prosperous and happy. Then, sir, there
is another worthy clue of these people, that are oft
en cheated out of their bard earnings. I allude to
the day Rorer and our furnace hands. If cam
there were presented to a people or the represents
urea of a sovereign people, a question thattletnand
ded their especial notice and candid consideration,
it is this all important act. Let no man who values
his pence and happiness, cast a vote in opposition to
a meretorious class; they are more deserving of
friendly action at our band., than all the irresponsi
ble corporations that ever.had places In existence.
am confident, yes, sir, confident that this bill will
prevail ; and without further explanation, or a desire
to trespass further on the intelligence of the House,
I will therefore leave the matter to some one more
able to throw light on dos subject. But no panne
on this floor will or can cast a nacre willing vote fur
the Miners, Mechanics and Laborers than myself. I
hope thee, that the bill wilt prevail, sad I call fur
the yeas Lai Gaya.

The new county of Lawrence passed the Houle to
day, as I predicted. I hare not been mistaken in
my judgment in one single case since I hare been
here.
I will again say to you that all the Democrats will
'Lisbon the bill as it will be reported from the
Commitee of Domestic Manufactures," and that
report is for the hours asked for.
The Birmingham Bill passed to-day. This relates
to the paving of streets, &c.
The other bill has given much displeasure to that
borough. The act can be repealed. So let them
send on their petitions to that effect. Mr. McElroy

Mr. Ovorfield informs me today (he is justreturn

The federal office beggars in 1844 it is well known,
"worried Gen. Harrison to death." They collected
around him like hungry hounds, "shook his hands"
with all their strength, and gave him rest neither
day nor night. It appears that the same patriotsare
now at Washington City, pursuing a , similar course
towards Gen. Taylor. In fact, the old General has
become so annoyed and worried by the office beg
gars, that a semi-official bulletin or pronunciemento
has been issued in the columns of his special organ,
the "National Wbig.Aequesting the office bunters
and others to abstain from shaking hands with the
President. We copy this Ukase for the benefit of
our whig friends who design visiting Washington:
We would most respectiblly suggest to our
fellow.citivens bow assembled in this city, from all
parts of the Union, whether it would not be more
to the comfort of the President for them to avoid the
ceremony of shaking hands with him, when they
call to pay him their respects, and be quite as sails•
factory to them not to indulge in the practice as to
indulge In it 7 It ought to be remembered that, she
king the hand and'atru is a blow to the whole body,

is equal to a thousand blows. The repetition of this

It afforded me great' pleasure to perform th is duty.

The paper contained the most concjusive prOofilf,
the propriety' of your course upon , the Ten Hours
Bill, and-- bore ample testimony `to - the popularity
of that meastne,-ir.two enosiderations which could
not fail to recommend it to especial favor with me.
Your conduct - lir sustaining the laVi - and 'advo
cating the intereiti of those who Saie most deeply
affected by it, meets the approbation ofidtgood
' men. As an humble instrument in carrying for
ward this great measure of reform, I thank you
sincerely for the valuable 'aid you have already
given it, and trust that your future efforts may be
equally happy and successful.- The opposition of
the few interested or unprincipled men vrhp have
assailed you, will do you no injury. The "poi
soned chalice" they prepared for you, in the
bitterness of a selfish passion, will be commended
to their own lips, by the judgment of an enlight.
ened public opinion recoiling against them.
The Ten Hours Law will gather friends.when
ever and wherever its merits are discuised, and
although its operation may be obstructed and its
value impaired for a season by Sinister provisos, it
must and shall be made perfect. -
There are, I know, some men who will 'throw
themselves in the way- of its humane workings,
but like those who,interposed to prevent the abo
lition of imprisonment for debt, they will be
swept from the path in which the 'reform is mo
ving, and sink into merited contetbpt or oblivion.
With my best wishes for your success, I bare
the honor to be, Very respectfully yours, '

The following interesting narrative is caplet]
from a late English paper: It requite as romantic
as any thing can be found in the thousand rung.
mary weeks with width the country is flooded,
and the deneurrient far more sensible and natural
than novelists generally arrive at
Eight years ago the daughter of Phillip Gornto,
, of Welberk, married clandestinely the son Of
her father's gardener, a fine looting young refloat
named Oakes. As; is usual in such cases F.. 114
and her husband ware turned out of dooms:id told
to go and beg their if thily could not get it
„„ _
any other way. • ,Ellen was Harp not quite sixteen
years of age, but a girl of unusual spirit and lire/i
-nns. She therefore induced her husband to go rti
London, end they arrived almost Iriendlts in that
metropolis. After staying hers several weeke
they wereanabled to do but little. Ellen bad pro.
cured some scholars through influence of a former
schoolmate who was married and settled; but this
little income would but little more than pay the
rent of their one room. Young Oakes, who was
now for the first time struggling with the world,
almost gave up in despair. Finally he shipped as
hand before the mast on board an East India md
ding vessel, anti not daring to take formal leave
of his wife, he wrote her a note the day the ship
sailed, advising her to return to her parents, and
declaring solemnly that necessity compelled hint
to the course he bad resolved on. Itt said, that in
three years he would positively return, and hoped
he should then be in a condition to merit het
love and esteem. Poor Ellen felt terribly this toss
of her husband; and from a feeling of resentment
towards her father, who bad been the cause of the
loss, she determined not to go home, but to con
tinue to support herself by teaching. In this she
was successful. In train did her father, who bad
found out how molten stood, endeavored to per.
suade her to return. ,She declared she would nut
receive a penny of hie boudty unless she received
it in company with her husband. In eight months
time the received tidings of her husband's deatt..
The ship in which he sailed was wrecked and all
on board except the second mate and two seamen,
perished.
Her father tried to reclaim his child, but now
.she was more resolutely prejudiced against her
family than ever. tidt her industry, skill and at.
notion she had secured the good graces of two
noble families, and with their patronage she was
far above want. On the 10th of December, 1843,
Mrs. Oakes was married to James Gelston West
ley, Esq , a gentleman of large landed estate in
Norfolk. She had no-intercourse with her lama
ly up to the time of her second marriage, and even
alter that event she received the visit of her father
and brothers coldly. She has since lived very hap.
pity with her second husband, by whom she has
two children.
On the 23d of September, 1847, her husband
returned to London, and teaming of her marriage.
he wrote hero letter announcing his return and
his escape from the wreck nearly eight years be
fore. The feelings of 'Mrs. Watley can better be
imagined than described. With - her eyes bathed
in tears she handed the letter tn Sir James bet
husband. Very soon this unhappy couple were 0 4
their way to London, and then the wife rushed to
the arms of her first love--but the feelings of the
mother finally prevailed. Mr. Oakes was still in
Indifferent circumstances, but yet be was far from
wishing to influence his wife to abandon her two
children to illegitamacy. It was therefore resolv,
ed that all three should petition the Court for a
divorcee frorp. Oalte,a anrl for , en act legitimiiing
the childrin of the scatted marriage. Sir James
Westly-kad pronounced Mr. O a kes..wgqe,tumenf
office in the Customs, and until the diVorte Weal
vied through. the lady , ill reside at her father'
house in Welbeck. Tile London Dispatch says
that an act of Parliament will have to bersbeil
in Order to legimate the childien of this singalut
marriage. • . .
