yie have avoided noticing a good deal which
hga appeared of late in the Pittsburgh Poet, in its
against the Factory proprietors, that was
fo!—, in fret and in inference, having sufficient coo*
fidence in the discernment of the community to
nnd spurn to impose upon
their jodgmenu
That paper assume* false ground in the very
oeption ol all its articles and appeals—which is,
tW«t the editor, and that portion of the Democratic
party which agrees with him, are the especial
friends of the working class of the community, by
which Is meant, we suppose, those who work by
the day or month, for specified wageaJand have no
pecuniary interest in the profits of tae concern In '
which they labor. This position we deny in torn. 1
la the first place, we deny that the plan proposed '
by the Post and its friends will benefit the working
man; and, secondly, we deny that the edi-or and
those who support him, have any more philanthrm
py, more enlarged and Christian»like viewa, or
more real sympathy with the great masses of
boring men, than those whom they are so re *
to stigmatize and asperse. There is room for •
ferenco of opinion on this as on every other su
ject, but it Is no evidence that a man feelsinto
rest in another's welfare, because he makes loud
professions of attachment—-particularly when “*
appeals are all tamed to a selfish end.
The Whig party, and many of the best men a
mong the Democracy, believe that the worsting
man' is moat benefited by giving such encourage
ment to the employment of capital in such branch,
ea of business and manufacturing, as will afford to
tho working man the bast market for his labor,
which is his capital, and which without employ*
irymt yields no revenue.
if we understand the Post aright, itmafces ci
tal and tabor antagonisticai—capital is an oppres
sor-labor ia the oppressed object. It therefore
arrays labor against capital—the working man o«
gainst his employer. It affects to despise capital,
aa<Menounces capitalists. It excites a morbid and
ocdiappy feeling among men whose interests, in«
rt-fit of being dissimilar, are in a great measure
identical.
There may bet instances of oppression among
capitalists. There are hard, grinding men to be
found in every class of society, and as frequently
among anch pseudo philanthropists as the editor of
the Post, as among any other class. All laboring
men are not kind, benevolent, or just; and there is
hardly any man so low in the seale of society that
he cannot find the means of oppressing tome one,
if he has the disposition.
Wo do not believe, that our capitalists, as a gen
eral rule are hard or unjust men. Capital in active
use in large establishments, does not work the
same effects upon the heart, which hoarded gains
produce. A man who will risk his capital and his
entire living io a manufecturing establishment, the
results of which are far from certain, and as often
disastrous as successful, must necessarily posses*
a liberal and active mind, and is as often actuated
by a desire far the general good, as for his own
benefit.
A capitalnl, with fifty thousand dollar*, by in
veiling it in stocka,.or other ptodoctive propertyi
can reap a inffieienl income for a luxuriant sup*
port,'—bat who is benefitled by it bat himself 1 He
becomes a drone upon aociety, as far as his own
personal exertions are concerned, and his capitai
is productive o f no fruit to the community in which
he live*, further than the spending of the interest
of it goes. From the want of employment, labor,
the only capital of moat persons, is depressed, and
the capitalist is thereby benefitled by the distresses
of his neighbors. But such men as the editor of !
the Post, would not lift a finger again* him. He
oppresses na one directly, he pays for all he re
ceives, and for these negative qualities be will be
favorably regarded;
But let the same man invest his capital in a Cot
ton Factory, thus giving employment to Mason*
and Carpenter* and Mwrhinirt*, and eventually to
large number* of men and women and boy* and
girls, whose labor had hitherto bee* pompare*
lively unproductive^and thus scatter broadcast the
blessings of industry and thrift—benefiting the me
chanic, the small trader, the transporter, the bouse
builder, the farmer'and various other*. &od sudden
ly the indignation of the editor of the Post is awak
' ened against this capitalist, and his sympathies en.
listed in favor of those whom his enterprise has
benefitled. Whilst \ho capitalist kept his money
in his own hands, or invested it in stoeks and lands*
no one interfered or questioned his right to dis
pose of it as he bleed—but no sooner is it placed in
a Cotton or some other Manufactory, and thus
rendered actively useful, lhao every ignorant
spouter, and brainless writer thinks be has a right
to dictate a* to its management-
Washdjoton Goss*.—'We select the following
items from several Washington letters, in the Bah
timer* Sun, dated on the 26th nil.;—
The General staled be would lake the oath pre
scribed by tbe constitution, on Monday, at twelve
o’clock. It was rumored Ural he intended to take
it on Sanday morning, in order to avoid tbe in
terregnum of one day.
One or two officer*, famOiariy acquainted with
General Taylor, express the opinion that he i* in
very feeble health, compared with what he ha*
usually enjoyed. After the 4th, be will have, it is
hoped, some repose, and an opportunity Co recover
from the (aligns of travel, shaking hands, and mak
ing speeches.
He intends to refer yll applicants for office to the
heads of the proper departments. He says, openly,
that he will hold his Cabinet responsible to him,
and that their assirtaut* will be responsible to them.
They will, of coorne, therefore, be permitted to se
lect their own assistants.
The General has also, in conversation, said
enough » show that he will authorize many re
movals, not on party ground, but on the score of
character and qualifications.
He has no doobt conferred with Mr. Clayton and
Mr. Fillmore, as to the complexion of his cabinet.
He has ample material before him, and be will
' avail himself of the best laleats to be found in the
W No one has been yet certainly designated, but
many distinguished names have been mentioned
by Gen. Taylor himself Some persons inferred
from something that fell from him, that he would
invite Mr. Horace Binnejr to take a department.
It was asserted that Mr. Biooey bad actually been
invited: but this is premature. Others have sur
mised that Mr George Evans wbonid certainly be
called to the Treasury. But (be General intends
to take a few days more for careful deliberation
•ad consultation on ,the subject.
No one has yet undertaken to say, that General
Taylor has expressed any opinion or used any in
fluence upon the legislation oi Congress, on the
territorial question. The Southern Whig members
a»( very macb disposed to relieve General Taylor
from future eraharassment on this subject by set
tling the question now.
The Vice-President elect has apartments at the
National HoteL He received the visits of many
of his old friends, as well a* strangers, last evening
and to .day. He looks remarkably well, though his
hair has turned from black to iron grey, since he
was a mem her of the House. .
There is good reason for believing that a pari j>f
the list of Cabinet appointments stands thus:—* Mr
Clayton, Stale Department; Mr Binney, Treasury;
Mr Abbot Lawrence, Navy; Mr Crawford, War. I
Tbe Post Office is probably poised between Mr
Smith, of Indiana, and Mr Letcher, of Kentucky,
with’ high regard for Mr Gentry, of Tennersee. 1
understand that Governor Crittenden will Dot be
. here.
The characteristics cf the President elect have
been pretty accurately nourtrayed. Re is, indeed,
the calm, -thougfatfal, indexible chieftain; with deep
diacernmeot of human character, bat possessed of
an «>imiKhle degree ofcourteouaness and affability,
thia was strikingly illustrated on Friday, at the Be
lay home. Amidst the ceremony and excitement
of that occasion, the General, pe receiving a group
\ of little children looking attentively at him, kindly
invited ifa-m to shake hands, which they did; and
with one little chap, attired in ragged clothes and
a rough looking cap, and who seemed lost in
astonishment at the scene, the General shook hands
heartily and said, ‘why my little man, you may be

The* debate will continue unUl midnight, or per*

ipeakmg in committee of the whole, to the victim*
iied chairman, Mr. Vinton, and me fifteen or
twenty member,, all of whom were;.truggling for
the floor, and among whom I observed Mr. Gid
dings and Mr- Greeley.
There will be a desperate contest in the House
over the project from the Senate, lor sealing Ike
question with reference lo the territories.
The President elect made a call this morning on
Mr. Polk, at the White House. Afterwards he
received the visits of a large number of gentlemen,
at his own rooms. He looks jaded and ill, when
compared with his appearance just previous to
leaving Mexico for his return to the United States*
There has been some speculation as to the
General’s taking the oath of office oa Saturday, in
order lo prevent any inconvenience that might
arise Itom an apparent vacancy during the thirty
six hours from midnight of Saturday to Monday
noon. But I understand that the President elect
resolved these donbt* by Haling to-day that be
slmnld not take an oath till the latter period. Dur
ing that space, some are of opinion, that Mr. Atchi
son of Missouri, who was elected President of the
Senate pro tempore, in the early part of the session,
will be President of the United Stsles de facto. 1
l do not think so. but inasmuch as il has been made
a question, it seems to me that it would be well
enough to set the precedent lor the year 1 SS9»
when the 4th of March on which a President will
be inaugurated, will again fall on Sunday. If we
go down hill these next forty years as. last as we
have done under the last (bur of Polk, we shall by
that time be ripS for any rascality, even to a Pre

The news by Ihe Europe which ihe enterprise
of the-preas'made public, one whole day m ad

given new vigor to mouetary afiairs, and caused ,
a largo advance in all kinds of slocks it '» new
sealed beyond a doubt, that confidence in U. 3.

drain ua of the petty amount of national stock. The

by foreign holders It wonld take a world of ar.
gument to prove to. them that the completion c.
this work and the issue ol small notes would
make Pennsylvania richer, and foreign creditor,
must be allowed to think that their aversion to the
proposed new increase of debt is dangerous, though
sensible men here are confident of the soundness,
of the movement towarcs compleung the public
works, and improving the currency of the stale.
Free trade in corn now rules in Great-Britain
but Us effects upon our produee hns been positive
ly nothing, and we can only renew our exports by
submitting to a large teducoon upon present rates,
which is not probable will be effected. The aver
age price of Geneaeee flour here on the Ist of
March, for twenty six years haJ been $6 12|.
' which is just the price of the same kind now, ma.
.icing it quit® certain tbat present exports are out
of the question. The formers who have been de
laded into the idea that perfect free trade would
open the English markets to us, at prices we can
sell at, can now see their error.
One of the most striking features in the foreign >
budget, is the rapid advance in iron, the extreme
firmness of the iron masters and their demand ol
another nse, for future delivery. This improve
ment cannot be without great interest to the iron
masters here, and enable them to put their faro a*
ce* and mills in operation once more, without a
modification of the tariff, or at least those of the
west The evil effects of oar low tan IT were
much diminished by the high price of iron abroad,
and a similar rise if it can be atteuded with a sim
ilar good result again, is much to be desired.

Proposed Connaoilon with trie Clev
land ond Plttatrargb Rail Road.
Ms. Eoitos—As the subject of rail load* claims
much of the poblic attention, and wo of the Tus«
corewas Valley, in phio, feel deeply interested, I
propose to make some statements for the consider
ration of the readers of your paper. The Saudoa-
ky and Mansfield Rail Road, which is finished to
the latter place, and will in a short time be extend*
ed "to Columbus, is the most eastern work of
Ihe'kind tbat traverses the State of Ohio, north and
aoulh. The Cleveland and Coiambus Rail Road,
in its coarse to the latter place, passes west of
Mansfield. There is* therefore, a vast extent of
country situated between those works and the O
hio River, which requires an outlet for its products.
All the rail roads that are finished in this State run
in the direction of north and soath, and are design.
*d to carry freight in the direction of the Lakes.
At we are now situated, in this valley, we have
bo channel for the conveyance of freight from the
time the Ohio Canal clones in the fall till the open*
ing of spring navigation. During this period, we
are often under the necessity of disposing of our
prodace on disadvantageous terms. If we had a
rail road connection with ihe east, we coaid at all
seasons of the year avail ourselves of the advan
tagesof the best market. If the central part of O*
hio and Cincinnati are to be connected with Pitts*
burgh and the east, by a rail road, we propose that
a work of the kind commence at the city of Colum
bus, thence via Newark, Coshocton, New Phila*
delpbia, and up the Sandy Valley to the mouth of
Hahn’s Run, where it might form a connection with
the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Rail Road. Prom
the point above named, that work runs in no aU
mostdirect course towards Pittsburgh. There al
ready a charter Tor the construction of a rail
road from Columbus, in the direction of Piusburgh.
The route which we have designated is very su
oerior r°** iT, g tong lhe rais, es, whlch ■» alto
eether favorable for the construction of a rail road.
This road would past through some of the very
best wheat growing counties in the State—among
which we may name Jefferson, Columbiana, Car»
roQ, Stark, Tuscarawas, &c.'
That the completion of the work would bring
Pittsburgh and Philadelphia into suctiessful compe
tition with Baltimore on the one hand, and New
York and Boston on the other, in the commercial
innmexioas of the people of Ohio, can not be
doubled for a moment. Thai the Baltimore and
Ohio Company is aiming to form a rail road con
oectiba with the rich tores of the west w certain,
and that Boston and New York now possess such
an advantage, by the assistance of lake navigation,
■nd design nhimately to construct a continuous rail
load connection isequallyime. Our best pn«P«cta

I'll a desolate place, that suburb of Fulton- Of]
a cold, dark evening, when the easterly wind |
draws down the valleys, and the clouds drift by ,
wuh a snow, spit now and then, l know not ol a
more desolate place on earth. The long Froot
street ol" Cincinnati, whioh runs by the river side, 1
and follows ihe vagaries ol the stream, at length ;
draws close under the hdls, and melts into the j
single avenue which forms the thoroughfare ol
the suburb city of Fulton. In front, rolls the
turbid Ohio; behind, rise the precipitous bills,
whence clay avalanches forever noiselessly slide,
pressing houses and stores hourly forward
like an inexorable fate. ,
felowiy, wearily, through the mud of that tingle
thoroughfare, now. on planks, now on the railway
which runs in the midst of the street, now on the
curb stone ol some intended, bnt never completed
side walk, the straight, soldier like iorm of Ferdin*
and Spaulding glanced amid the increasing snow
flakes, as be struggled, after along day’s work, to
seek the material of more work. On his left lay
the ship yards, with their ribs of iuture leviathans
glistening in the ghostly snow-lighL HiU-presaed.
bouses, nodding m-tipsy reverie, uncertain when
to tumble, glowered on his right. Before him, the
locomotive; filling the street with its black-white
breath, and turning the snow flakes to grains of
gold with its fiery eye, came screaming, crushing
onward. But Ferdinand saw not the silent spec
tral forms around him, beard not the shriek ol >he
monster that drew near. The voiceful electricity
which over head was carrying on the chit-chat ol
men a thousand miles apart, had no interest for
him at that moment. He had left hungry children,
a fireless hearth, a sick wife behind him; and bis
soul, commonly as free from care as a bird, was
Jbr a while bowed down. Slowly, wearily, Fer
dinand has passed by the embryo steamers, the
grating saw mills, the chipping, splitting, planing
machines, the subterranean rolling mills, where
half clad, brawny men struggle forever with red
hot serpents of iron, and has entered tbe.city, as
street after street becomes conscious of gnsr-
It was the same snow spitting ovening, 'two men,
loncer In conversation than usual, stilCsat over
the store stove u. Main street. The gloomy night
grew darker, and" still they talked.
•I give freely,’ said the younger, buttoning his
sack over a somewhat corpulent person, and draw
ing hlmselfup with an air of satisfaction. ‘For my
means, Deacon Stiles, 1 give freely. 1 know the
wants ofthe poor, sir. I have visited the poor
My wife, your niece, sir does nothing but mother
them. I give freely, bnt rever bliodly. Deacon
Stiles; never biindlv.’
The ilder. who had been sitting, doubled op,
with bis small, quiet eyes upon the tftove,
suddenly opeoed those eyes lo double dimensions,
laughed m a sopertalurally noiseless manner, and
turning his end, repeated,‘Never blindly, never
blmdly, Reuben —freely, I know it,but never blind
ly’ — an d he chuekeled again, like a spectre.’
‘There are men in business,’said Reuben, em
phatically nodding his head, ‘who do as well as I
do, and buy real estate out of their profits, and who
give tidhmg to the suffering. I know the men, I
con pul my finger on them. Others give to every
beggar; they make beggars. They sre beggar
breeders, sir. They ought to be fined, taxed, to
support the paupers they bring on us. In this
country, Deacon Stiles, no honest, industrious
man need want; if he has health, you know, of
course. Show or the well man that says he is
sufl'enoc, and I'U show you a rogue, sir—an im

the poor: 1 have been in their houses.’

nose as be spoke, ‘Children—Scarlet fever—Mea

Reuben * mind neemed hardly to follow the ar
gument of which his companion gave the heads
so he went back lo lus own experience.
‘My neighbor, next door here, bos a theory tho
a great many can be helped best by making then

said to his companion, in a queer, confidential way
as though the store had been filled with people.

! Reuben would have gone idto an argument to

soon parted. returned to listen, over bis

the old man. who lived near Cciumbia, got into

immeasurable mud boles of the same pathway

Stiles knew very well that Spalding was pursuing
it; he knew where be lived, had inquired into
his condition, had sent him, or rather hts wife,
customers; and yet this dismal evening, as he Data
ed the weary walker, though he looked closely at
him, he did not stop, as one might have supposed
he would, to take hitn up; but drove quietly by,
and left the straw bat to catch the snow flakes
»t us leisure. Had Reuben been there, he would
certainly have said, “Wrong, Deacon." Per
haps the old man thought so; for his bead shook
as if palsy-stricken with the laughter that filled
him, as an earthquake might some gray old con
tinent.
Round a Tireless fireplace stood uur shivering
children. In their midst, on his knees, a fifth was
trying to kindle some wet chips that he had just
brought from the ship-yard, as he relumed, from
bis day’s work at the bagging factory. On the bed
lay the mother, a new-born infant, and a little girl
with the quinsy. Of the two boys and two girls,
who stood about the fire-builder, but one had on
shoes—u was the smallest, not two years old. A I

room was clean, amd, had there been a fire, would
have been quite cheerful, with its white curtains
and engravings. Over the mantel hung a portrait
of the Duke of Wellington, and above it, the sword
of an English officer.
The fire kindles, goes out again; once more it
lights up, and the little solemn faces around glisten,
aod half smile; but the wet drops a second time
extinguish their hopes.
'U'b too hard on you, John,’ said the pale mother,
faintly, 'after your twelve hours’ labor.
‘Make it go yet, mother,’ answered John, with a
tone that was a perfect challenge to despondency.
‘Father's had many a w»tso time making a fire in

mg nothing of what it all means. The visiter kiss
es the Lull gui that has gone to the door to see
who is come; slips something into her hand, and
slips himself down the abrupt hill, over the rad
thick, lo the road where his old white horse snd
green wagon are waiting for him. No one on earth
heard that small laugh through the nose, as he
turned his cud with closed lips, and wiped what he
thought the snow water out of bis eyes
•So father bought his goods, said the poor
woman, thankfully, ‘but what the dollar means.

this world’s trials, hti needifl;. was busy. U was a

Spalding'had cotUe to America with a compe

op everything, he Come t£ Cincinnati, where he
knew one man, that man vf'as on his deathbed, and
could not aid bun. For mpnlhs he had sought in

Too proud to chafferjl in debt for the tlanncl;
wholly unused to such scenes, Spalding took the

against his fellows, and ipalf rebellious against his
God, turned away.
He paid the merchaniewbo had trusted him for

A few questions identified the present h«*l|>er
with the friend snowy night Liule Mura,

eight hours by ife tnpple deathbed, which had ta*

semblance were soon told.
As the husband tnd father closed his melancholy
tale, he rose, to the drawer, and brought to
the Deacon the-reiimant of flannel and the price
of what be had ssdd, telling him what it was. Tbe
old man sprang from his ebair, upsetting tbe table,
with tbe pitoheft of milk and the lunf of bread, and
dropping lap the morsels he had been

The next morning, the comfortable little onr
horse waggon dwoed by Mr. Small wan~floander«

a malediction ifldf way up Reuben’s throat. He
wished the Cdtnmoo Conncil, and Deacon Stile*,
•od all folks who were ioolh enough to starve, jum
where they belonged. When he got lo the turn
pike, ha soul jfrew smoother, but presently came
the locomotive that demon to the eye# of horse

ble out into lt»r;nure, nHt * wresl l° w Uh his terrified
beast, until, froip hip to anlclo. he was a real entale
owner m 'that detestable town of Fu'ton.' In what
state of mind, therefore, he drew near the end ol
hi# lonrney. mtiy be imagined.
At length, they readied the point where the
Deacon bad tdld them to stop. The hor«e wiu
hitched, the bill climbed, the house recomiw-d by
the black craps on the laieh, the latch lifted, and
Reuben stood in that dwelling winch might never
have been visited by Death, had he but a»kcd a

Special symptoms of consumption.—
quick pul*«. hacking cough, genera! weakness,
restless sleep, variable appetite, irregular bowels,
pains betweeu the shoulder blades behind.
tin.msn STMrroia of CorttdsnTos. —Coughing
night and dar. flabby muscles, general debility, great
shortness of Lreath on going up stairs, ascending a
hill, or walking but a imle fast, pulse always above
one hundred, for week* together; drenching cold
sweats luwudi morning.
Catarrhal Consumption come* on like a ctmoio
rauuTb or cold, but about the period when that dii
ea*e usually u expected to subsido, wme of the symp
tom* are aggravated. The cough 1* more trouble
some, especially when lying down. Tttere is no fixed
pain in the chest, but dußcult breathing, which i*
worst on lying down. The appearance or the expos*
torauon, which i* copious, i* choflged from a thick
yellow mucus, to a thinner substance. It i» very un
pleasant to tbe patient, and emits an unpleasant smell
when burned. It is of an uniform appearance, anfis
probably a mixture of pus and mucus, as on mixing|ll
with water part sinks and part rwims. This disease
may occur tn any habit or at any age, and is charac
terised by the peculiarity of the eough.
The Balsam of Liverwort effects tno eure of this in
sidious disease by expectoration, sooths and heals the
affected lungs, ft never fsuls. Wherever this medi
cine has been used, we hear of its success. For thir
teen years it has been before the public, and has been
thoroughly tested for all complaints of the Lungs, and
has proved itself superior in merit to any thing in use.
We might give hundreds of testimonials from physi
cians, the press, clergy, and those who have been cu
red. boi all we desire i* to call the attention of the af
flicted; and for their own good they will try it
