Mitchell, Snowden, and Hamilton. All made excellent of which they warmly approved of the &erbil the operatives in holding out. The fact -that the. Whigs did not attend is magnificent.— The above is from the Pod of yesterday. The 'Detaxvie, of the same political complexion, gives thelsllowing account of what the Democratic can, &dates said, as follows: 'The speech of .Mr. Snowden was short, and to alillltalt4.4olaring, in the event of his election, • he skald sustain the ten hour law, and would not wander It - perfect until the odious contract proviso WlB9trickeu from it. Mr. Mitchell next took the stand, and in as elo quent oakum: portrayed the iniquity of the twelve • homenystem; and assuring them that ten hours, • and ten hours only, would be supported by him. gn Hamilton then responded to a cell of the ateoa6', declared himself in favor of the ten hour - `systelot, and shotild he be elected to the office of -representative, its opponents, and the opposers of the laborer, will have to look out, for his motto will In to them, name grape.' ' • There is no dispute about the Ten Hour Sys • tern: Ne one opposes it, whenever and wherever it is feasible. The subject at issue in, the propne- Sy of establishing and enforcing a len hoer law in 'Pennsylvania, regardless of the ruin of our manu factures, while in the Eastern v „re. the mills run twelve hours. The Locofoco candidates go for the • ten hour law, and even for striking out the proviso, - without any regard to the ability °emu matiatio Curers to stand it, or mite ultimate effects, in ban. fishing the manufacture of cotton from the State.— We rains issue with them, and oppose the cent," lishment of such a suicidal Sc! here, until it can be made general throughout the Union. On this issue we are willing to go to the people of th.s county, at the coming election,ind leave thkin -duattions' fiumers and mechanics, and all other •.. • .. .• ' meir who have the least local' interest in the wr •,- fare of the State, to decide whether they will lisma - to the aboard ravings and frothy declamation of a few unprincipled dematfoittes, or to the dictates of 'other reams cad common sense. Who will be benefited, if no other manufactories are erected to oar midst, and those here at present are driven away? Will the farmer and mechanic, who have Hand a market for the products of their fields and Weir Mar and skill, created by these factories?— : lffillthe operatives who labor in these mills be ben efit:led, trrhen they have destroyed the very sour ces of their support? Who will be benefited by the abstraction from circulation 0f85,000, weekly,the prsducuer labor in Allegheny city? Will the shop keeper, the Winer, the gardener, the mechanic, the house builder, the lot holder? Who? When this mischief is done, the factories driven away or Or, the operatives impoverished, and the krtilisica streams, resulting from the products of labor which now water au many different channels, dried up, who will have occasion to rejoice? Let these ea. cruktes answer. Bat it will probably he denied that such conic• quences will happen. Those who assert this, lack• either good scow or bones: intentions.' It is per preposterous to suppose that a business wbich is conducted with so narrow a margin, and rise to contend with so spirited a competition, can eihst at all, at ten hours a day, when the great ma jority of the .mills ran twelve hours. The differ ence iaihe products date two systems is greater 4111l . tha teofite of any. mill in the country. We . therefore call the attention of the people to tiihaaiiallter. `The Democratic candidates declare their deer mirietita to stand by the ten hour law, • ..and even to destroy the proviso which renders it - at all tolerable. If they suweed in this, a death blow is struck of every cotton factory lithe State, without any advantage whatever to result from • , , written. Other States, not cursed with such - wise legislation, will profit by our Oily, while the tea hem system will not go into operation until it becomes a gerteml, not a local law. Let the pro. plc, then, choose whether they will be led by a set of heatless demagogues, or by the simple dictates of aortursin mum. kfaxatiox 701 hleacer.—l never knew a mar tial' for money that did not end antisopity.

The letter was eat intended for publication, but oar readers will be pleased to see that the 'Old Salt Boiler,' as ham familiarly called in Ohm, is disposed to visit us, if he can; and that he gives Taylor and Fill. more bin warm and powerful support. On last Tuesday, be was to address the citizens of Sandos. by, an the "'Siam of the Nation," and he will doubtless visit other Western Reserve C0U11606. The Whtg Exceed we Committee will take an early opportunily, doubtless, to invite him to visit us, and make due prepartions to extend to him a hearty and hospitable reception. Eitrar. of a Lauer from the Hon_ Thamati Ewing. " I will endeavor, if possible, in the course of the canvas, to visit your city. I have much duty on hand at home, and do not know that It will be in my prtger, but on my visit to .the eastern part of Ohio, will try tod make a spare day or two Or that pntpoae.st of the Whigs in such parts of Ohio as I have visited are now going in heartily for General Taylor—we shall lose very few, and gain many.— If out luau be not greater in the North Eastern part of the State, then I apprehend we will give a very large majority; but it is imposible yet to tell how much the disturbing Gums In that quarter may in jure us.

The mama is the cane, as it respects free and slave territory. We find in General Taylor, too, the friend of Peace—one opposed to enures. Wan upon our neighbors—one who duly appreciates the horrors of war, and who in the heat of bottle, and in the flash of victory seised every ixctioion to negotiate a truce or peace, and stop the etfu,ion of human blood. Cara is in favor of war—out ac tually disposed, I believe, to fight the hauls him self, but speaking valorous words—bullying Eng land and swallowing Maxim at a meal, and young censure against General Taylor Or his humanity —hence, those who wish for Peace, choose Taylor rather than Cass. They look upon these things s practical men, who are disposed to do the best that circumstances will perszt; and no man who reit. mos, doubts what that is. Oa the whole, I think we shall lose Arta votes and gain many. I am, very truly, Yours, T. EWING Wu. IL Jona:sox, Esq., Pittsburgh, P. It having been alleged that the Hon. J. J.

It was discovered that ho had been shin through the head, and soon afterwards a man named Francis Mankey Came down to the river, and admitted that he had fired twice at the deceased—that he had loped him standing on the steps of a house near the Mot of Liberty street, be tween three and four o'clock in the morning,—had questioned him as to has business there at such on hour—that the deceased hod refused to answer— turned and ran down Liberty street to Water, when he (M.ruakey) pursued and tired nt him—fol lowed to Penn street, and seized deceased, who, alter a short scuffle, escaped—again pursued him to the river, and fired a second lime, when the mussed party disappeared. The crowd became highly excited on hearing the particulars of the af fair, and violence towardsthe watchman being ap prehended, he was taken to the Mayor's office.— Coroner Richardson lancing empanelled a Jury of inquest, proceeded to inquire into the case. The following facts were elicited, Dr. Armstrong was called to make an examina. tion of the wound. and under oath, made the fol• lowing statement,—*`On "the right side of the face. about an inch from the angle of the mouth, 1 found hard substance supposed tube a slug, which Rimed badman% and upwards, rupturing vessels in its count.

He had a note from the Rev. Hunter, giving some infurmn• lion about him.

SCENERY OF BORNEO The Island of Borneo, throughout the whole of the northeast coast, is, with few exceptions, a low land covered with jungle; but so beautifully verdant does it appear, when viewed from some distance, that you would be led to suppose that it was widely cultivated. This idea is, however, soon dis pelled on a near approach, when you dis cover a rich group of accedes, palms, ban dani, and numerous trees as yet unknown, so luxuriant in themselves, but formir.g one entangled mass, alike impenetrable to European or native. What, in the dis tant view, we fancied a verdant mea dow where we might relax from our long confinement, and amuse ourselves with recreation. now proved to be ranges of long damp grass, interspersed with swamps, and infested with venomcnit snakes In short, I never yet was on a coast, which, on arriving on it. pronnsed so much. and, on landing, caused such a series of disappointments to those who love to ramble altaltd, as the coast bf Borneo. To the naturalist, however, con fined as he is tothe shelving-beach, there is ample food for employment and research the island abounds in novel objects of natural history, both in the animal and vegetable kingdom —Maryails Borneo. OLD SAWS There may be a world of wisdom in many of the old saws that are floating about in newspapers and school books; but, for all that. many of them—notwithstanding we are told never to look a gift horse in the face —will not bear too close a scrutiny. Fur example, one of these old saws runs, • de pendon:e is a poor trade to ieltow." as auy other trade (a :Lisbon Pr) could be lob lowed--as it we were cot in an active, pas sive, massive state of dependence from the bawling, squalling days of infancy to second childhood--supposing we should reach that lengthened and interesting period of depend ent existence. No dependence, indeed! It can't be helped. his our rnaaifest destiny —one of those prommciamen(ox of nature that never ha. and never can be set aside. We depend upon our wives for an unreasonable share of domestic felicity—upon our fathers for "notes" as well as comments—neon ac quaintances for company. doctors for pills, cooks for dinners, chambermaids for beli. and—worst dependence of all-1344n our abilities for a fall crop of fame and dollars. And thus it is (trim the cradlesp the gave— with man as with woman—we depend for all that we eat and all that we drink—all that we wear and all that we teas—in short. all that pleases the eye, tickles the palate, charms the touch, or 4 ailis in any way to the comfort of onrainrichlar and oliactory or gans.—Seare Goastle. HURRICANZ re PAUS9II.—A tempest occur red at Bromberg, on the 18th of June, the phenomena arid 'effects of which were re markable " Masses of electrical fire, like broad sheets or clouds of flame, encircled the steeples, towers and chimneys—now blazing with lurid splendor, now giving way to total darkness, and then reappearing with brighter effulgence. So loud was the rolling and bursting of the thunder. so overwhelm ing the rushing force of the wind, so like the rattling of cataracts, the hissing downfall of the ram. that we could neither hear nor see the terrible effects of this awful phenomenon, until it pleased Providence to command an end. Then a fearful sight met our eyes. It created no surprise tnat, with such a hum cane. whole roofs of buildings should be wrenched ftom their places ' chimneys hurl ed down, and hundreds of windows torn from their fastenings. This was almost nat ural , but great was our staprise and grief to discover that the noblest ornaments of our city, our two lotty towers with their cupolas, were literally hurled from their foundations, and, buried deep in the earth. No one knew of this misfortune for loud as must have been the crash of the falling towers, the noise was overcome by the uproar of the elements, and the deafening echoes of the incessant thunder. Bromberg has the ap pearance of a place shattered by an earth quake; but, God be praised, no lives are lost, and although the surrounding crops are prostrate, they may recover.- SKAKIIO HANDI.—SOITIO folks will have it, that a man's character can be told by his laugh. It may be en; but, we think, the shake of a hand is a more certain test. From the extending one. two and three fin gers, down to the bone-cracking grip and pump-handle shake, every shade of charac ter is truthfully yet forcibly depicted. There are others, again, who have no force of char acter, dribbling out a harmless, milk-and water sort of existence. Such permit their cold, clammy hands to be taken--and there it lies within your own, innocent of a return ing pressure—unconscious of its close prox imity to real flesh and blood.—Neals f',-ax. A most singular instance' of terror in the human species is recorded in the Journal de Medicine, pour Pn 1817. It occurred in the( hospital of the Salpe•tnere. A female of ad vanced age was so affected on hearing that her daughter, with two children in her arms, had precipitated herself out of a . window, and were killed on the spot, that her skin, in a single night, from head to foot, became as that of a negro. (The same passion turns the hair white, of which many instances are on record.);!
