THE UNION
la oar last article ofl this subject, we suggested
a mode by which a mbre perfect union could be
fanned between eaptloi and labor, and save *ome
reasons whv such a onion would assist the labor
lag man, and put skill upon a level with capital,
and we shall now attempt to show that u would
be equally important to the community m other
respects.
It has already been remarked that the amount of
required for most of the important branch
es of manufacture here is M great as to secure a
of monopoly to the rich. Even they, how
ever are in most instances compelled, for this very
reason, to yvork under greut disadvantage. Tne
real estate, buildings*, and machinery of our iron
or cotton mills, are generally about sufficient to ah
•Orb the available mesas of even our strongest
hoasea- The consequence is,that their business is
done, to • very large extent, upon credit; their sales
are anticipated, and their bills drawn thereupon
diicoaqted ot rates which interfere very materially
with their profits, nod tend to keep up the price of
their produefa to a point which is often prejudicial
to the interest* of the place. With larger means,
they could of course lay in their stocks and sell
their fabrics at lower prices, because could
pay for what they bought, and hold their paper until
maturity. They would, moreover, render thereby
as other very material service to the community'
by relieving the banka from the necessity ot sus
taining them, to the exclusion of others, »nd leav
ing those institutions to assist other and larger
r»l«—who are equally, meritorious, and whose
wants are of a more moderate character.
It would, moreover, serve as a means of tempo
rary investment, which would keep the n-sources
of the community in active circulation, instead ot
having them locked up in the banks, where they
are of no use to their owners or to any body else.
Il* influence upon the Slate nt large would not
be less salutary. Instead of driving capital from
amongst us, a* has heretofore been the p-jnry, it
would invite it from abroad, and thus assist iu de
veloping the resources of the cotnjmnwealth, by
building upvsities and towns—increasing the taxa
ble property of her citizens, and augmenting, to nn
immense extent, (the traffic upon her pubbe im
provements, in every direction.
it would accomplish all these thmes > not
a mere problem either. /The expertrr.rot Mu been
tried elsewhere, and with the very result* wn.eh
we have suggested. Tbe cuv of Lowell, <n Mas
sachusetts, whose manufacturing capital and in
dustry would throw even Pittsburgh—much a.« we
of it—into the shade, is the splendid creation
of the system which we have been endeavoring
to recommend. Five and twenty years ago, it was
a wilderness. Now, with the aid of some twi ive
or fifteen immense manufacturing corporations,
controlling a capital of from fifteen to eighteen mil
lions of dollars, it is the prosperous oud happy, and
beautiful of some tbrty thousand inhabitants
—where the laborer is himself the capitals,
and. where incendiary newspapers, and bro.i* be
tween employer and employed, do not disturb the
public tranquillity.
If thin system will work well m Massachusetts,
which has no peculiar advantages as a manufac*
taring Siqig what will-tt not do for Pennsylvania,
With her immense deposit ct of iron and coal —rich-
er than all the mines of California—lying in many
fide by side, and waiting only the Me
giving impulse of capital to move them from their
beds? It is not too much, we think, to say that
fqo-h on encouragement as it would afford to cap
ital, would, in a very short lime, place this great
commonwealth in wealth and population tar very
far, in advance of ait her sisters. She has been
favored by nature above all the rest. She ft.n in
her bosom precisely the elements which hive rec
dered England the greatest power on the globe -r-

shall hold out a hand of encouragement to enter
prise, and.offer a welcome, and a bounty if neces
sary, to those who are willing to embark the r
in the developement of the treasures which
Ha neglected under our very feet.
We are now happily refe?ved from tire heavy
of ignorance and imposture which, under the
(Cise of a pretended democracy, has for bo many
jesrs weighed down oar cnergtes and obstructed
oar progress in the race of improvement. We are.
thank heaven, free at last from the dominion of the
jogglera and moontebanks, who have so long a-
Based and delnded the good people of this State-
We cow look for belter things.
Such a policy we raped from the enlightened
and liberal Whig party which has*now obtained
the ascendancy in this Slate and Nation. We have
the promise of it from the Executive himself, who
while a Senator, introduced and advocated pre
cisely such a measure as we are recommending.
It was objected to him, by the Locofoco prcßs, du
ring the late canvass, that he stood pledged to car
ry it oat, if elected. They made the issue them
selves, and upon that issue they were defeated.—
According to their own doctrine, the people have
passed upon it directly and affirmatively, and w<-
now look for the proper obedience to their high
behests npon the part of the Legislature Shall we
tookinvaio? We mist not. We have ret our
hearts upon the measure, and we reckon upon the
cooperation of all those who sincerely d.mre to
witness the complete union of capital and labor.

Th.s vast herd ol bulfnfo had be«’D collected tiv

We had proceeded alwat three or four mifes on
our journey, when the alarm spread through tho

was umiK-diutely t ailed, nnd upon examination
it was ‘found Inal a Canadian Frenchman, a

our men, a number of whom instantly proposed to
tutu back, nod lake signal veuxeance upon the
Blackfeet, for concluded to be a wanton
and treacherous mnider While mill in the act of
deliberation, 'wo mounted Indians were seen
Hlowly apprimrhiug from the upper and Opposite
eod of the valley. Several ol our men, among
•whom w.m Mark Head, rode rapidly forward to
meet them, with inteatlons evidently ominous of
miscta'ef. They proved to be a Blackfoofand his
squaw, wh*'. with :«ieiirgs of uudoubting Security,
were leisureiy makiug their way to the village

surprised an 1 terrified, nnd made many an<L ve

offered to forsake their own people and join their
fortunes with riurs: but this would have availed

the man and seize the woman as his rightful spoil.
He was about to consummate this, when Kit Car

Authentic Accounts from the Sold Re-
The CapL D. Wm. Phelps who .reached Charles
ton lately, in the brig Hennia, from Chapea, (hav.
rag come from California via the lathmoa) hai
reached his home in Boston, and tho consequence
la we have, in the more staid and discreet Icmper
of that region, the informauon which he ambenn
cally communicatee to tho Boston paper.. The
Traveler say»:
Cant. P. bong, a qoanlity of the gold, in grain,
m scale*, and in lumps—tbe largest of tbe latter
weighing about an ounce and a half Tbe amount
01 gold brought by him has been much overrated
in the published accounts, though he brings, a con
siderable qbantity— -much less, however, limn the
lowest amount staled ($38,000.)
As Capt. P. ; worked personally at tbe mines,,
which we believe was not the ca«e with Mri
Atherton, his experieooe of tbe minntis ofthe gold
digging there in considerable. In the first place, as
to the pieces of gold that have been reported to be
found, he says the largest piece that he has seen is
m tho possession of Mr Melius, and weighs but
six ounces. He had heard numerous stones at the
mines oflarge pieces being found; but in reefy ia
stanes vkett they uwr« investigated, they turned ©ul
to be/atu, or greatly exaggerated. One man was
reported to have found a piece weighing several
pounds;4ie went toseehioMind found that its weight
1 was only two ounces, and that it was the proceeds
of an entire day's work
As to the stones that tho diggers were mapy of
them averaging £l6O per day. be thinks that those
that have done the best have not obtained more
than $3,000 duringthe entire digging season. The
hours of work were from five to ten hours per day
Formerly, tbe Indians were willing to work for n
tririe. but they have since become better acquainted
with the value of their toil They are prin
cipally the remnants of tribes, and not formida

Bm one case of disorder occurred before Capt P
iefi It was that nf a negro who insnlted a Mormon
woman. The people turned out, caught tbe negro,
tied himtoa tree, gave him a good lashing, and then
tunied him loose, with the threat of a ride ball if be
misbehaved again.
Tbe inhabitants of California, Capa P says,
are anxious to maintain ordsr, but they can hardly,

When several companies of Col. Mason's reg
meat deserted to the mines, a file of soldiers were
*ent after them, who in their turn deserted. Col.
Ma*m then started with a file of dragoons, called
tbe miners together, and told them that if they ex
pected the countenance of tbe government, they
roust help him to arrest deserter*. To this they re
plied. that if there were any refugees from justice
among them, they were willing to turn out and help
to arrest them, but their time was U>> precious to
be •►©cm pied in running after deserter*. After this,
Col. Mason was glad to get back with half of his
dragoons.
Agriculture has been *<► totally neglected, that a
man wbo had a fie id containing 15,000 bnahels of
wheat, could not get it harvested, though he offer
ed half the products, and was obliged to let bis
cattle eat 1 it. Women tad children, as well as
tbeir husbands aod father., had become geld dig
ger* Capt Phelps opinion as t-- the success
of expeditions daily starting from this country,
is that it will depend upon the manner of their
organization There is no doubt, he say*.® of
their being mn«tderable quantities of gold in
California, but then- is grosa exaggeration in the
matter.

before one year the people of those territories will
ha\e finally settled iL
tin the day before the seiMOO closvd, at one
o'clock, the Vice President rose, and iu an etc
queot and very appropriate addres* of consider*
ble length, stated that the close of his official term
being near at hand, custom required that he should
withdraw from the Senate, to enable them to ap
point a temporary president.
He returned his thanks to all, for their efforts to
lighten the burthen of his offic*-, and the uniform
Iciqcldcbs and courtesy which they had manifested
toward him. He bore testimony, trom an experi
ence of many years, to the grave and dignified de
portment which bad characterised its proceedings,
and to thd /rank, liberal and courteous demeanor
watch had marked their private intercourse. He
bad been called upon, be said, during his official
term, to exercise the right due to him under the
constitution, and the duty imposed upon him by an
express rale oflbe Jieoale—that ot voting on ques
tions wbefe the Senate was equally divided—not
le»* than thirty times.
He wavnot conscious, in a single instance of ha
viog (altered in the performance of his duty—of
voting as be conceived to be in harmony with the
views and interests cf the whole people. In con
elusion, he said lhat with a draft on their general
indulgence to forget the errors which he may have
committed, he should bear with him into retire
roent a grateful recollection of their kindness, and
tin ardent wish that their efforts to promote the
public welfare might be rewarded with lhat appro
bation which should follow an exercise of the pu
rest patriotism, and with a long life of happiness
and prosperity.
When he had concluded, Mr. Benton rose and
remarked, that as his colleague, the Hon. David
Ft. Atchison, had heretofore been called to preside
over the Senate, under similar circumstances, he
wwld move, that without a formal ballot, he be
notr appointed President jrro tm, of the Senate,
'and the motion was unanimously agreed to.
Mr. Atobiaon, in taking the chair, returned his
heartfelt thanks for the repeated honors which the
Senate had conferred upon him. He would only
say, as he bad said when first called to that posU
tioD, that he should endeavor to discharge hta du
ty feilh/uHy.
Mr. Webster then rose and said that they had
juiA witnessed the retirement from the chair of the
Senate, of the Vice President of the United Stales,
who |had presided over during'
past constitutional period of four years, it
gate him great pleasure to perform a duty which
he bad risen to discharge, that of offering the reso
lution appropriate to the occasion. This resolution
was that tbe thanks of the Senate are due, and
are hereby, tendered to George M. Dallas, Vico
President ot the United Stales, for the ability aod
impartiality with which he has discharged tbe du
ties of Preaident of the Senate, durieg his official
term. The resolution was unanimously adopted.
Tax Titles to Lajo in luxtoia—Wo learn that
the United States District Court for the district of
Illinois, gave a decision lately a! Springfield, which
will affect the validity of lax titles in that State
pretty seriously. It was given m s trial of an eject
ment, sail, in which the lax title bolder was the de
fendant aod (ht complainant the owner of the land
that bad been sold for taxes, and conveyed to the
defendant by tho Auditor of the State. The court
decided that several oftbe State laws touching tax
titles wcrehnconstilulional and void—among them
those of IS3S—'39; that possession without Ulle was
of no avail; and that the Auditor's deed, to be of
any validity, most be accompanied by proof that
evcryf u essential requisite of the law bad been com
plied with." The defendant bad been in possess
ion seven years under the lax title, and bad paid
taxes regularly all that lime.
The trial lasted six days. The decision of the
court; has not yet been published; but enough i*
known to prove, that to relv upon a tax title in Illi
nois, ta«y be v?ry unsafe. Therefore caveat gmptor'

Pretse ofVtenna bat the following: "Venice is to be
bom warded by balloons, as the lagunes prevent tb»*
approach of artillery. Five balloons, each 23 feet
m d aroeler, are in construction at 'Treviso. In n
favorable wind the balloons will be launched and
directed as near to Venice os possible, and on thetr
being brought to a vertical position over the town
the fire wiu be given by electro-magnetism- Each
of the five bombs affixes to the balloon is in com
munication by means ol a long isolated copper wire
with! a large galvanic hatlery placed on the shore.
The fusee is ignited by connecting the wire. The
bump falls perpendicularly, and explodes on reach
ing the ground. By this means twenty-five bombs
a day may be thrown, supposing the wind to be
favorable. An experiment made at Treviso on the
9th succeeded completely."
