!Po* Pritipriiiii:-:-XdVsistee in Prices:
-We-call-the attention of our country readers to
the following from the Ohio• Patriot: ,,,.
"Whatever relates to the price ovimproveinent of
ATOolisheuldbe of particular interest to the people
of this county, for the census of 1840 showed the
.
but une Other county (Harrison) in the State, Was en
gaged more largely in its prodtiction than Old tel-

umblana. 'Stich being the extent of interegt which
our people have embarked' iii Wool 'growing and
selling, wiagisclly copy, into ourcolumns the follow
ing: ~.
article which appears , in a l ate number of the
" Patriot," ea - aholifien piper printed in Washing
,
tonceenty, Pennsylvania; where the subject is of
more . vital . interest , tha n even here. The pope,
which.tive have named, says
. e
" learne from New York that the prices of
woolen goods have„adviiiice4l . koin,ls to 20 per cent.
—Marl private letters received from the east here say
that there is not fine wool enough in all the eastern
`cities to 'ripply any one of The large manufacturing
companies Ull thernext , clip conaes in. In cbuniic-
Orin with this, we may state that the agents of the
Messrs. Lawrence, in this county, are buying tip all
the *col they can get, at prices considerably in ad
vance of those pairs last summer and fall.
The causes. of the low prices , of wool is easily
explained. The revulsions in Europe last year
threw upon the American market large quantities of
foreign woolen geed., which were sold at ruinously
,low rates, for the sake of realizing quick returns.—
A necessity which is not likely to occur again, for-
Ced the.foreign manufacturers to sell them far below
actual cost. This drove the American manufactur•
ers temporarily from the market, and as they bad no
.. particular necessity lbr wool, they did not buy; ex
cr pt. where opportunity offered for getting it cheap.
"-These facts, in detail, welaid before our read
ers last year, and advised them to hold on to their
wool, presuming that when the foreign pressure was
removed from the market, prices would go up to the
old standard. Our apprehenvions are beginning to
be realized; prices are going, up; and we doubt not
that before the next clip comes in, wool will com
mand.the prices of 1847. _.
"'Many of our farmers, in order to meet pecuni
ary obligations, were compelled to sell their wool at
the .low prices which the speculating maaufictorera
choose to give ; while not a few, believing the al
legations of demagogues made for political effect,
that the low prices resulted from the tariff of '46,
sold their wool under a conviction that it was no use
to hold on. Let them settle their account with the
politicians,
" The eastern manufacturers cannot do without
Washington County wool ; let all who have it, hold
on to it, until they got a fair price for it."
Oetoticratic Victory I
ISAAC BUCKIERIMIAIt, Esq., Democrat ,has been
electp4ltteyor otAlexandria by seven votes over four
Whig competitors. This is, indeed, agreat victsry,
since it is the first time almost within the history of
that ancient town that a Democrat has succeeded to
the Mayoralty, and it is more particularly gratifying
since that result has been obtained by an election
immediately through the people. Heretofore, or
some five year. ago, the Councils elected the May
or, and the people rarely ever had any agency in
the matter—generally elected the Council without
any reference to the Mayoralty. Mr. Isaac Beeh

Harrisburgh, Friday afternoon, March 9.
Ma. Hearne :—Thia day, like many others, has
been entirely' devoted to the re-charter of 'Banks.
The Farmers Bank of Sticks passed through at the
late boor of 6 o'clock, after a desperate struggle,
the yeas and nays being called aboat filly dines.
There is no use in giving them.
The Senate to-day had a stormy session for some
time in relation to the new county of Lawrence. A
call of the house was ordered, and the doors closed
—all out had to stay out, and all in, had the same
privilege of remaining in Oahu quo. Finally, the
vote was taken, when the county paned by a large
vote. The new county men are combined and de
termined to carry every county asked lbr. From
this, yon will Sad that we are in a bad fix—solely
owing to the indifference of our people at home.
Their especial attention was called to this matter in
good time; but they heeded not my warnings; they
will yot have time to repent good for this. I des
pise the stupidity of men, holding office, that are
fearful of exerting themselves to perform their duty.
Letters have been received here from. would-be dis
tinguished (but extinguished) Alderman, reflecting
on the Ten Hour Bill and the Homestead Exemp
tion; but states that be is decidedly opposed to sur
rendering one single inch of our county. When I
return, I will give you his name.
The Usury Bill was up for discussion. On taking
the vote, it was found that the law will remain as It
is—only nine Senators voting for its repeal.
The session is now getting interesting ; and should
I remain here, you may look out for interesting facts
and figures, as the future President (Cot. Beaton,)
would say. Speaking.ot the Presidency, there is no
trite rlrthi cettetrylinit
.would !Win to our cause,
juit now, more sterling worthrend none more gen°.
rally beloved for strict adliereoce to coned radical
truths, than the great and good Senator from Me
mud.
If wisdom and love , or that which I. pure. will
have any Ming to do in Opr National Convention, I
trust for the honor and welriire of the country, that
Bergen will be oar candidate.: Every friend uf just
ice would /ally round him. My friend, Latimer, and
his friends, would vote with us—no small party just
at this time. These are my own opinions mad I care
not for others.
Letters have been received disclosing more frauds
OR the Canal. The Sergeant at Armsis off again op
a tour of search for men.
I must not forget to thank you f.,r your note, sta

The Pennsylvanian of Saturday publishes the:reso
lotions adopted at a meeting of the. " male and fe
male factory operatives of the city anrcounty, held
oq Wednesday evening."
We copy the following :
Whereas, A sufficient time having elapsed of the
present session of the Legbdature, to give them no
excuse for further delay in their action on the ten
hour law, thereby withholding, from us a boon, not
only promised, but merited. Therefore,
Resolved, That this meeting, male and female,
canon the Legislature to amend and repeal the pro.
vise now attached to the bill, and substitute the
amendment now upon the file, offered by Captain I
Small, and as amended by Thomas Forsyth.
air'We have - forwarded to Mr. Swartswel der, with.
in a week or ten days, the names of some hundreds
of the female operatives In the Allegheny Factories .
None have refined to sign the memorials. To sup
pose that any one of them prefers pwsLve hours to
Tca is preposterous. We notice this matter on ac
count of having heard that some of the Cotton bor.
ers in Harrisburg have circulated the report that the
girls in the Allegheny factories are opposed to the
ten hour law.
Father Ritchie.
The habits and personal appearance of Father
Ritchie, editor of the Union i are thus described bj ,
a Washington scribe. He has long ranked as one
of the distinguished editors of the American PresS
" Mr. Ritchie is seventy years of age, more or
less. He admits that he is " agretable i ", but doe
not fancy being questioned closely on this pnini.
He goes into his sanctum and seats himself in hiS
funny chair at 11, A. M., punctually, and very
rarely leaves it when Congress is in session, before
three in the morning, but for an hour to dinri.
Indeed he inorefrequently continues his lablirt
till 4, A. M., bringing the grey dawn around him,
than quit ten minutes before three. .This is :hilt
life-from one year's end to another, and for six
days in the week. He appears to carry - no more
flesh on his bones than just enough to pievent
them from falling apart ; yet though he has led
this life of Herculean labor for forty years; he ip
more rarely sick than the hale man of thirty-five.
He still preserves his passion far classics, obtained
for twicking and Homer into unruly boys,
and he can yet - devour a new poem of merit with
as much enthusiasm •as one might look for to be
displayed by -a young lady just learning to be h
'blue."

he held. the most profound veneration, apitfarn

flattering reception*tendeff to him by the repile
sentatives of Virginia, and be should regard it as
the highest honor - of his'life,. •To beisto =received,
having- just laid &sin power ; and no, longer
clothed with the patronage - of the govermient,
filled him with gratitude. He had been moat la
boriously engaged during his administration, and
had endeavored, to the best of his ability, to dis
charge the arduous duties that had devolved upon
him as . President of the United States. Measurea
of greater magnitude bad beets crowded into the
four years of his administration than had fallen to
any, that bad preceded; and. the benefit of the
country alone had guided him in the conduct :of
affairs. His principles belted learned In the school
of the illustrious statesmen cif Virginia. lie was
no longer a servant of the people; but had now_ be
come ; a sovereign. Be spoke of .th e greatness Of
the country, and, in connexion with the extension
-of our territory, of the value of the Union. The
Union would be preserved by maintaining the emit
promises of the constitution Preserve the Union,-
and the - march of our country - in prosperity and
greatness would be immeasurable, and aurpais

The Pittaburgh ; Kerning Palm i
For some time, we have been silently, yet care
fully watching the controversy , which has been
going on between the Editor of the Pittsburgh
Morning Post and one •or two of the hireling
trumpets of the cottortlords of that city, in rela
tion to the " Ten Hour Law," and the "Factory
Riots." We had concluded to remain silent on
the subject, but when we saw the attempt made
to destroy the private business of an ipdividutil,
for raking up arms on the side of humanity; add
in defence of those whose lot to thisworld'requires
them to work for the means of subsistence, vle
felt that to remain neutral-any longer would be
an act unworthy of the position which we hold.
On the 20th of February ult., we published the
names of four firms who thought proper to with
draw their patronage from" the Minning Post, do
account of the course purzued-by its editor; add
have since learned that powerful exertions wets
making to decrease the circulation - of thatpriper,
and force Mr. Harper to abandon its publication.
These exertions were not only carried on secret!'t
,
i
but received the open support of the "Pittsbur
Gazette" and the "Commercial Journal;" 'pies s
controlled by men who would resort to any act o
procure the almighty dollar, and who,are,now en
gaged in advocating the 'cause ofjliiiie who' - ;
" Would strip the deed, i
Or rob the orphan of his crust of bread ;
Pillage the palace Of the Ring of Rings, - l
Or strip the gilding from an angers wings I" 1
But notwithstanding all the bold array of oppa
sition, the Post has obtained the sympathy of rife
people, and they will support its editor in bin in
dependent course in such a manner that he can
bid defiance to the aristocracy of the loom at
spindle. And in proof of this assertion it is on
necessary to place before our readers a_ resolution
passed by the citizens of Old Westmoreland, Wile
assembled in county convention, viz: -
"Resolved, That we admire the stand taken
Leaky Harper, Esq., of the " Pittsburgh Morni
Post," in regard to the" Ten Hour Law." and t
so called factory riots; and conceive the attem t
to break him and his establishment to be strongly
anti.republicao, and worthy the stern disapproval
of the whole cputpuniff."_.
Nor hithlealeffinly Place fr omwhichthe pe
pie and the prat have spoken in favor
_of 'h
course—the entinf,press in Pennsylvania (excep -
ing a few mean., groveling spirits,) have skirt
with the "Post," and also numerous others ii
Obio, New York*c. . !
The course pursued by certain editors:in thh
city of Pittsburg in endeavuring to destroy a pa
per which was not afraid to sympathise with the
unfortunate girls :Who ‘s•ere incarcerated withib
the walls of a,eotinty jail, (one of whom-was
only thirteen years old,) is beyond the power elf
language to condemn• and each one should hav
