We are requested to state, as the whole truth in the premises, timt those cotton factories in Phila delphia, which run ten hours a day, are all running on a reduction of wages, of from 121 to X) per cent• —mostly at 16 per cent-. A majority of dwindle In Delaware county are running 12 limn, on the old wages—the remiundtr ten boon, on a reduction of wages. Although our readmit are doubtless tired of this subject, yet its any stance must excuse us for di - reeling their attention to the only and true goes• Lion. 'The pioprietors have invested their capital in cotton mills—a private concern—and no body else has a right to meddle with it. They have a right to ran 8, or 10, or 12, or 15 hours, or stop sins-eth er. Then right of property is sacred, and their tight to control it equally sacred. The operative Pas his labor to dispose oL and he also 11321 an un deniable right to stipulate the hours and the terms on which he will sell it.

He has no right to 'compel the employer to engage his services, and the employer has just as little right to compel him to work, unless he wishes to. Their Tights are mutuaL Having laid down these general principles, we come now to state the only question in which the pohho is interested es a social body, as regards personal rights, and as bound to guarantee equal privileges to all. The factory proprietors wish to run their mills 12 hours a day, and a large number of the operative are willing to wotl2 hours a hours' day, or sell 12 labor a day, wh they have a perfect right to do. Another class of operatives wish to dispose of only 10 hours of labctr per day, which the employem are unwilling to purchase, and which they say they cannot purchase without lore. So far, all is fair. No body is to blame— Each one has asserted his just rights. Bat what concerns the public is, that this latter clans of ape. tatiyes has assailed and outraged the rghta of the &awl , Proprietors and of the other plass When thew who are willing and desirous of working 12 home, stLempteil on to do, they were assailed and Preveok by; those who are willing to work ' only 10 boors—and to this day are the just rights of the Jammer numbers the cotton operatives in AfiellhettY C' 2 3 , trampled in the dust. This is the question which concerns the community—not whether 12 hours or 10 hours should be a day's Labor.

The public mind has been diruacted by the movements of the Bamburnms, and the Bulltilo Couventionista but now- that the whole ground is laid down, and a fair view of the field is obtained, the old Whig fires begin to barn, the gathering cry of the. battle is heard, and the masses are harien. mg amend the standards or Taylor and Fillmore, ea the only hope and safety of the nation. In no State will the contest be warmer, and in none are Wing. goingto work with more zeal ind enthusiasm than in Pennsylvania. Here the stake LS great—rim contest clime, and the work will be Warm. The very existence of the vital air of OM prosperity depßels upon this election. Casa and low wages, ruined manufactures, idle mechanic , and impoverished farmers, are on one side, end Taylor and protection, prosperity and peace ate on the other. Can it be wondered at, that the cam. paign will be warm, and hotly contested. In the eastern part of the State, the Whigs are thoroughly aroused, and in the best of spirits. Large mow meetings have been held in Easton and Lancaster, which brought back the memories of 1840. The kills:ming description of the glorious meeting as Lancaster, which we take from the Tribune, will show our reader. that the • Old Guard' is thorough. ly amused: 'The meeting of thi friends of Taylor and Fill more, and Middleawarth, held in this city on Sat. urday last, exceeded in numbers and enthusiasm any thing that we have witnessed ainoe the mem arable Mato Convention which' assembled here in 1540. It .was an immense—s mighty demonstra. non, numbering its thousands upon thousands, and showed that; the spirit of the Old Guard vita tho. roughly and completely aroused. At no early hour in the day our country friends came flooring in from all quarters—some in can riages--aome in large tout horse wagons—vast numbers on have back, and others on foot, until the whole county seemed to have poured its vast population into the lap of the city. The people of several of the northern townships and also those of Lampter, Stouliurg, Coleruin mart, dtc., con oentrated a few miles of the city, and enter. ed in procession, preceded by their marshals, and accompanied with bands of music, banners, doge, dcc Some of the banners were exceedingly neat and appropriate, and reflected great credit upon the taste and liberalurof those who were instrumen. tai in getting them up. We were pleased to see several of the Old Harrison banners in the prom.. sion, borne by men who have taken but hale into. rest 111 the political conflicts of the day since the death of their lamented chief, and who have only been induced to eater the political arena again by the nomination of General Taylor, in whose prin ciples and character. they recognize u strong re semblance to their deceased chief The appear. Race of these interesting relies of by gone days, , was hke meeting with old and valued friends oiler a long absence, and about upon shout rase up an they passed along the streets. They reminded us forcibly of the many interesting incidents connect ed with that exciting campaign, and we felt axon, ed that under their fable we should secure a vic tory in November next as great and as glorious as that achieved under them aight year, ago. As the different delegrahana passed, the enthusiasm of the people knew no bounds. The load haulm—the rolling of the drums--the spirit stirring strains of the different bands of music—the waving of flags— the tossing of wreaths and the waving of handker. chiefs by our pretty, patriotic, true hearted lady friends--all contributed to Rum a scene that stirred the depths of the heart and cannot readily be for. gotten. In the Western counties the fire begins to barn stub a clear and steadily increasing dame. In most, if not all the couraies4rough and ready cluber are formed, poles are raised, and other demonstra. nous made, showing that the importance of the canipaica is beginning to take hold on the minds of the people. We could tell some things about ']ld': Weiumoreland: and the Taylor feeling there which would make the Cass men quake with appreheri., . In our own 000aty, prospects are not less cheer ing. There are a number of Whigs about the cities, and in one or two townships, who have been ,htssiistied, and have found-some difficulty in making up their minds, but since the pedalo nominations the most of these have decided to go for Taylor. In moat of the townships therewill be no increased Trittg tor, while in the rentmauftrl there will be an average one. Allegheny county will do her duty, In the eebrt to prevent the Wight mg curse of Coos's election, and she calls upon her sister counties to unite with her in tho noble struggle. Below we giv/an incident, elated by an Eastern Traveler, which tilitichingly illustrates a great troth in religion. None fA s it those who have been'ealled to part morn friends, know the premousness of the truth, that those friends are not dead, but only re moved from our sight for a season. Though their bodies have gone down to the grave, yet their spirits lien. Where their dwelling place may be we cannot tell, but there can be no harm in the notion that they remain in our midst, and become our spiritual companions. The heaven of bliss-- the abode of the good, May be all around no as! well as to some Inc off region. Where God and I good men dwell, there must be happiness.

Feeling a natural curiosity to know what aim could do with those bright things in a place that seemed to partake so much of :sadness, I watched her light motion.. Reaching a retired grave covered with a plain marble dab, she cap. tied the seed—which rt appeared the cup contain ed—tato the slight cavitieS which had been scoop. ed out in the corners of the level tablet, and laid the wreath on its pure face. ' And why,' I inquired, my sweet gill, do you pot seed In those little bowls there! •It is to bring the birds here,' she replied with a half wondering look; they will light MI thin tree when they hero-eaten the seed, and sing.' To whom dothey sing to, you or each other?' ' Oh, nor she replied, 'to my sister--she sleeps here.' ' But your sister is dead?' 'Oh, yes sir, but she bears the birds sing.' ' Well, if she doe, bear the bled, sing, she eau not see that wreath of Dower.' ' 'But she knows I put it them I told her beim, they took her away from our &nuke, I would come and see'her every morning.' You toust4l continued, ' have loved that sister very much; but shall never talk with her any more —never see her again.' • Yes, sir,' she replied, 'with a linghtened. look— ' I shall see her in heaven.' But she has gone to heaven already, I trust.' • No—she etopa under thin tree tit} they bring me here, and then we are going to hiaven to gether.' Facia ftlazteo.—The gear:nal/in Alabama, at N.

He said he never quarrelled, that he never quarrelled In his life , that ho bad G=l:id Gatightto the death. He was ready to everywhere, as wall beyond as within the walls of the Senate, that the Senator bed his. throat.

Some Things may be Thought and .e ai d am Well a. Inhere: To the Editors of the Pstubstrgh Go.etts have often thought, since there has been so ranch fess made about the Cotton Factories, and the ten hour law, that it would be useful flit the public to know how that law wan introduced into the Legislature; whether it was upon petition attic oppressed operaesam or mainly upon the motion of name modern reformer. If it won: upon petition, I can say, that I never raw, or heard of any not, petition being circulated in this quarter, (and I am an operative) nor did I ever hear a whisper of coin. plaint, that there was anything like compubnon or oppression on the part of the employer. Our en. lagements to wort were perfectly voluntary, and every one was at fell liberty to leave whenev er the'' pleased. This being the case I have woo. dared how this ten hour law came into being. I had supposed that the very Oellenekt of that liberty guaranteed to as au.-by the Conaitettion, was, that every one had a right In the pursuit of him own happiness, to employ his time in ouch way, at such •busmess, and during such hours an he pleased, so long ea he injured no one else in his rights, pro may orelierson. But here is au act of assembly i which presumes to dictate to freemen—whic h steps n between employer and employed—pre Denims for the former t.buit:—" You shall not em. ploy A., 13, or C, only upon the terms here laid down,"—and Gtr the hitter,—" You shall not work upon any other terms." I should like to know where the Legislature found nay authority (hr such an enactment. I view it as a clear and pal pable infringement of the Runny°, Masi.

The drives appear to have but poorly :provided themselves with provisions, and grew so hungry in comes qualms of the delay, that two of the party which escaped from Lexington, Lafayette co., went into Clayville, Harmon county, after they had been out two nights and one day, hungry and worn down, and begged to be taken back to their masters. They gave the first information the people of Harrison County had received of thestampede, and reported a huge party bidden in the woods in the immediate vicinity, and who were pursued, and most of them finally taken. It wus in arresting this party that Fowler and Ihm.a were wounded. The regimes were armed with revolvers, fought well, and twice compelled the whiten to retreat.

It appears that a &lave, by the name of Scott, who had escaped from Virginia, and concealed himself in Birmingham, had entrusted his secret to Smith. A reward of one hundred dollars having been offered for the delivery of the slave, Smith decoyed poor Scott into the toils of his master, (so called,) who gagged the victim and carried him back to Mayen. The colored people discovering the treachery of Smith, seized him, tore off the clothing which be hafturehased with the reward of his betrayal of his fellow mho, and after a terri ble whipping, tarred and feathered him. We unqualifiedly reprobate the most brutal treatment of the miserable Smith. No provocation could justify such au outrage on humanity, how. ever degraded—and colored men—those who in an especial degree must depend on law and pub. lie opinion to protect them against violence and mobocracy, ahoald not be blind enough to set such an ezample in brutality and lawlessness.
