Cotton Sin«(bctwla( In PUUlrargh<
We have been informed that the raw cotton on
.band, bekrogiof to the Star Mili, which has been !
suspended for some weeks, Juu b>on told to go to
a Factory in Okto ! This is a practical oommest
upon the operation of the Ten Hoar Law apon the
hOsiaets of manufacturing, which is worth allthe
•peculation and theories ever broached apon • the
•ultfeet. ■
This Star Mil), was thedrat, we believe, to ac*
quiesce in the Ten Hoar’Law, and to commence
work trader It. It received the hearty common*
driiogaof the Fi’Uhirgk Morning Foat, which
paper repeatedly staled that the proprietors or
■ maaagere had said that they could do as .much
workman boon «i twelve. We were told that (he
hands worked son och steadier, and with so much ]
more carefulness, l tat they made op for the loss of
two hoars. The Star Factory, was, therefor#
held op by the Post as sn to the other
Mills, and odiums and unjust,comparisons were
Instituted between them. = Behold the result!—
Hen is a. new mill, well ’formed in every psrt,<
with all the modern improvements, fusing idle, |
to the great injury of the machinery, which loses:
more in this way than when running, and the raw,
material purchased for its supply, sold and sent
away to a neighboring State, where no pestilential
influence exists to stop the wheels of honest in*
dnstry.
A stranger, 'visiting Pittsburgh, and observing
its iaoomperable advantages for cotton man also*
taring, and seeing this fine mill standing idle,
would inquire, what is the tastier?—why Is this
null idle? Is there any want of fuel to propal.it?
—*as coal advanced ? No—coal is abundant and
cheap. Is there any want of hands? No—hands
-are seeking employment every dty at the offices
of the codon mills, even with tears in their eyes,
to be delivered from want by being furnish*
ed with employment. Probably, says the inquirer,
the mill is ont of cotton, and the river is so low
that asnpply cannot be obtained. Not so, the mill
has cotton on hand, and the river* were never in
a better stage for bringing up the raw material a*
the lowest prices. Well, I have it now, says the
querist, the proprietors Matted with a deficient
capital. Not so. They can command abundance
. of means!. Is not the market then overstocked
with goods, to that they cannot sell their prodactsl
Tou are mistaken again. The demand is brisk,
and stocks arc low. What is the matter, then,
<t says the astonished inquirer, that all this outlay ol
' 'capital la lying dead, while every thing else Is
flourishing, and while Cotton Mills are increasing
ail over the,country ? It is simply this—the Leglr
I Store of Pennsylvania, yielding to the solicitations
of a .Caw factious d«magbgues, having for their
month piece a Loeofoco paper in this oity, called
the Morning Fott, has passed a law duerimina*
ting ngointt tur own cotton monv/otturu, and of
coarse, m favor of those of the adjoining Stales.
. The consequence is, that 'the Stir Mill has been
compelled to stop, and sold bar raw materia) for
other mills to mannfactore almost in oar own
neighborhood, bat not in our jurisdiction. Such
is the came of the decay efthe cctton business
among os.
lie professed object ol those who have brought
about this state of things,is philanthropy,although
We can give them the credit of possessing but a
very small share of that virtue. It is but a pre-
ICndedphilantbropy which nocks atthe stern die*.
Utc* of.wisdom and experience, and which *pur*
net it* course to the “bittexend,** despite of the
wide spread misery it diffuses among the ob
jects of fts erperial benevolence. So far, its effects
have been only evil. It commenced by polling
down the wages of those it was to favor. It haa
put oat the fires of three factories, and crippled
the remainder. It haa put a stop to any future
extension of the business. It has thrown out of
work hundreds of perrons who depended upon
factory employment fore livelihood, end who have
been compelled to seek other end less healthful,
and leas productive means of support, thus crowd*
inf avenues, already well supplied, while others
have been driven to the verge of beggary! Some
have gone to other States, sad aow labor twelve
hours, for less wages than they received here.
Where is the benefit—where is the philanthro
py—whew is the justice—-where ire the plainest
dictates of common arose in all this!
We are now begin ning.to reap the bitter fruit#
of that destructive spinVwhich has beenj permit*
4ed to grow and flourish among us—which has
been the prolific parent of mobs, law suits, heart
towntngi, poverty, crime, and almost every other
. evil work, and which has done more to mar the
fair fortunes of this city, tbso any thing wbicb ev
er occurred in its history, or in the history of the
country. If not subdued and destroyed by the
stern operations of public sentiment, Pittsburgh 1 !

Speech of T&addeus Stevens.
IntheHhuse of Heprenonialives of the United
State*, on the 20tb Inst. in Committee of the Whole
on'lhe sf<" of the Union on a resolution to refer
the President’s Message to appropriate Commit,
tefft, Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, of this Slate, made
the following remarks:
Mr. Stevens conceived that the comber of vto-
Ivnt speeches in behalf of human bondage, that
had been heard here since the commencement of
the session, were spoken to force Congress to eel*
tie the slavery question according to southern
views. Mr. CUngman announced this policy early
in the session. If he had taken on him to make
hts threat, that unless this was done all legislation
would be defeated, as was done on the day before
yesterday, without being authorized to do so, it
would have been but idle gasconade in him, such
l as be would not have essayed. The Santn has
preached sedition in this bill, which, had it been
preached elsewhere In each bodies in other coon*
trie*, would have broogbt punishment on its
thors. If the purpose for which this treason is
talked ofbe to sustain an admitted evil, is not
the conduct of those who talk thus the more rep<
reheoslble ! The real uses is, whether the pur
pose the Bouth have in views is so greit s good
as to justify re belli on io its behalf While announ
cing his determined hostility to slavery every
where, he also declared hia determination lo stand -
by the compromises of the constitution, some of
which, however, bsd he the miking of {be coasti
tatioanow, be would never consent to.
Doe* slavery contribute to the glory or prosper*
ity of the country* He (Mr, 3.) thought not. That
nation is most prosperous which has the most pop
ulation prodacing wealth. Slaveholding countries
cannot be thiokly settled by freemen, and their
producers are almost non-prodace rs, as those
must be idle and wasteful who only have the luh
to stimulate them. An Intelligent, industrious
yeomanry, who own and work the soil, ore the
chief support of a free government—the great
means or the prosperity of such a government.
Despotiima may be powerful,butthe people there
of can never be a prosperous nation. Slavery is
degrading to labor. The wnite .laborer of'the
South is rdegraded being, and is forced to asso
ciate with the slave.
. The soil cultivated by the slave Is always lees
fertile than that of the north, never being to aoy
great extent renovated. Virginia presents a strik
ing example of this fact. At the adoption of the
conititmioo she out numbered New York two to
one in population; and though possessing harbors,
rivers, a fine natural toil, minerals, dec., yet she
is daily deteriorating.
Here Mr. 8. compared the condition of Virginia
with Pennsylvania, drawing a picture highly flat
tering lo the latter, and then went on to show
that Virginia is rapidly deteriorating, andautpu
ted tbeUettnthe existence of slavery within her
boundaries.
Mr. S. was for confining slavery in its present
limits, in order to force slaveholder* to commence
the work of emancipation. It is said that Virginia
has a slave population of half a million, whose'
viiue is principally dependent on tho southern
demand. Then the noble Virginia of old times
has turned a mere breeder o! slaves, instead oi
emulating the non-slaveholding Sides m improve
ment.
Mr.. S. went on to quote from the last speech of
Mir. Seddon, giving ula (Mr. Stevens’s) views of.
the meaning of that gentlemen.
Mr. Beddon asked leave to correct the gentle
man from Pennsylvania. But
Mr. Steveaswould inferno interruption. Sla
very, he thought, enfeebled a nation in war as in
peaoe. Iu War a huge portioo of the while popu-
Iptiou would be necessary at home to,guard
against insurrection. We have been reminded of
the blood, treasure, and gallantry of the fcfoath. He
-.imilfd all this- Her prowess has been exem
plified In oaf wu*, and particularly in bringing
uponusthe Mexican war, anfl. her patriotism bsd
been vhowu in famishing the mrn willing lo har
den themselves with officer- .The comtnou sol
diers, however, came almost universally from the
North, except. where volunteer*, from near the
*cene of war were called for.
Mr. 8. quoted from the report of a Secretary of.
War- to prove this position-.
He was also opposed to slavery, because he arc*
opposed to despotism ; and bo considered oil the
Am-Hr*n people, in a greater or less degree, re
sponsible for the slavery fn the United Stater.—
This government, recognising slsvery, is a dev
polism—a despotism being a government’ in which
the governed have no voice in making the laws.
The severity of such governments increase* with
the number of despots. The while people are tl>e
eoveoeigus here—all the rest are ruled; the fim
numbering about sixteeo millions, the second some
foor millions. The latterare without rights, polit
ical or social, having no rights to his own family,'
being a naked slave, stripped of every right given
him by the God of nature. Is he not, then the
■object of despotic sway ? The slaves of Athens
were net so abject slaves. Tnis despotism is
composed of the slive States end the general gov
ernment Do not regard this view of the despot*
ism of this government as a paradox, for the ru
lers of every despotism are as free as the rulers
iu this. Are we not, then, despots such as
history will brand? He trusted that the final Judge
and History might not have occasion so to brand
us. Bui, if we extend thia terrible institution, we
must be so branded. He was opposed to the far*
tber spread, of slavery, because it rendered the
people among whom it existed arrogant to
wards the North. The gentleman from Virginia,
[Mr. Seddon.) said that a century Ihe South
had controlled the government. This he. [Mr;
S.,J regretted to have to acknowledge wr*
true.
Itissaid that the South will dissolve the Union;
ifahe cannot force her views of this matter on the
government. She has found dough faees enough
to encourage her in this braggadocio; but when,
as now, tbe civilised world rites to denounce
slaver?, he (Mr. 3.) trusted none would be fouod
here daring to be trailers to the North. Tbe gen
tleman from .Virginia, (Mr. Stddon,) in tbe name
of Virginia, Kentucky, and Louisiana, besought;
the President not to forsake the South. How much
more effective would that gentleman's eloquence
have tees, hod it been tinctured with the semi
meats of anti slavery? Howould then have im
plored the President, by the love ol hi* own soul,
dee., to torn his faes against the purposes of the
man stealer. _
Mr. Wtrstiurop’* Speech. ,
The following are the remarks of Mr. Wic«
throp, of Massaebuseiu, referred to by onr .cor
respondent Junius, delivered in the Horn* cfß—
prcsenlalireS/Feb. 21, the President’s Message
being under consideration. We oopy from the
report in the Republic.
Mr. Winthrop said that be had designedly eh*
stained from entering into tbe discussioo; he was
willing to wait until some plan, likely to lead to
actios, should be proposed. Tbe ship was dash
ed to and (to amid the threatening breakers, but,
by the voice of a majority of his country, a patri*
ot had been placed ait bo helm, and, by the bless
ing of God, ho hoped, and trusted, and believed,
that that Mb would bo bailed as the pilot who
had weslhercd Jbjs storm. But bis object in ris
ing was to vindicate himself. It had been. the
studious policy ol a few gentlemen to drag him
into tbe debates, whether be would or no. They
had worth while to taunt apd provoke
him for his official conduct while Speaker of the
House, and had indulged in language coarse and
unwarranted. It was now bis purpose to notice
the ouaerona assaults made uponbim. He had
scareelv reached this city, when he was shown up
in ths Union newspaper «■ a desperate Abolition
ist.. The Abolitionists proper exhibited him as ■
rank pro slavery man, and the gentleman Irom
Tennessee (Mr. Johnson) did to hts face what he
did behind nis book on the last night of the previ
ous Congress, and charged him with haying given
I bis patronage, and arranged the committees, with
| a view to injure the Bomb.
A.gentleman from Giddingi) hud las*
■ailed him lor betraying the K«rth. One charged'
him with being the father oftbe Wilmot Proviso,
and tbe other charged him with opposing it. , One
side said that he would rather have voted for Mr.
Giddlcgt, and the other asid be would have pre
ferred Howell Cobb. And Uo eoii s'every con
vention in his own State had censored him. An
honorable coUesgßo of his (Mr. Palfrey) bad not
only prowpteidothert at his elbow, but had refer
red to him As'formiogtha committees with a view
ofrre renting ito action of tbe North; aeda gen*
tfeman from Virginia, (Mr. Morton J whose speech
ftfrqnndfd fa courtesy, if not justice, said .that he
voted against him as Speaks, at the commence
ment of IbeseasiOD, because ho was in favor oj
the Wilmot Proviso, and the abolition a i slavery
in the District of Columbia;, and because his name
was found, in company with forty dr fifty others,
against the admission of Florida into the Union.
But no taunts, threats or reproaches should drive .
him from his position.
Ten years ago, when he was a candidate for a
seat on this door, be said that if it wsa his tortune
h~ai«oi«4i...hA.waa!djiai.decm it to he his duty
v ; ;
Whenever be found the interests oftbe North as*
sailed, be had defended them. “A plague-os both
yqur houses, n has always been hi* exclamation;
and be thanked hi* Uod ahat he. had endowed
him with faeuliie* which incapacitated hirai from
countenancing oltraism any where. He coveted
thb opposition of such men. If they approved hia
conduct, he abould inquire, with one of old, “what
evil thing have I done, that they speak wed of
me?"
iHe was not present when the gentleman from
Ohio (Mr. Root) made his speech; bat his atten
tion bad been called to it in ‘the Coogretstona)
Globe. That gentleman had assailed him. ’He
regarded the resolution ofibred by the gentleman,
(instructing the Committee on Territories to report
territorial bill* with the slavery inhibition J ** one
ofthemost mischievous proposition* ever presen*
ted in this Hnuse—mischievous and deliberate
iu design. He came to the conclusion that the
honorable member, for the sake of a miserable
notoriety, had put In peril a cause of which be
professed to be the proudest advocate; for the'
sake of playing captain, in front of the music. If
that resolution bad been pressed on the House, all
oflegialation would have been at an end,
and be believed that California could not have
been admitted, and the session itself presented
scenes of discord. He had sefeo the trap which
the gentleman formed, and inspected the Intea*
tiqn. If be voted against laving U upon the table,
he| vu against the Administration; if he voted for
laying it upon the table, he was against the provi
so; If the Wilmot proviso was trilled, the -death
lie* at the door of tne gentleman from Ohio; and
the epitaph should be. "Hero ties a victim of tba
ruihlees vaniitynnd headstrong rashness of the
gebtleman who held it up deliberately to receive
its. death blow." Ii was a fatal blunder to offer
the resolution. That was a moment when the
North was not required tossy what they would
or: would not do. If northern sentiment was weak
ened,the gentleman Is guilty of the cause.
- He had soughuhe floor (q say to bis< otistitoeots
and the country, that these gentlemen are not to
be the judges of bis votes, nor shall their stric
tures influence hire. There hts never been a
party under the cloak of philanthropv to vitupera
tive and abusive as the Free Soil sect; sod be did
not believe that there bad ever been witnessed,
in; the history of this or anyrother country, auch an
audacity and pronenns to false statements as the
presses of thatparty hive exhibited. [Applause ]
He bad bad his share, and more than u, here anti
a mt home. A good deal of it had been here prompt
‘ed. There was a nest of vipers in his own dis
trict. Having broken their teeth in biting the file,
they wantthelceth of honorable memberaof this
House. [Laughter.]
Mr.'W. then noticed the choree of Mr. Giddinga
that be, in 1646, attended the Whig caucus, and
made a speech in favor of a declaration of war
against Mexico; and he produced a letter (from
among others of a similar character) - written by
Mr. Houston of Delaware, on the first of April,
1818, stating, as a distinct recollection, that Mr.
Wiolbroo was not even present at that meeting.
Mr. Houston remarked that this was his letter.
Mr. Giddinga said that tf bis honorable friend
would yield the floor, be was ready either to pot
or answer a question,
Mr. Wiuthrop. The member must take his own
time, as he selected his own time to make his ae*
cusatioos. (Laughter.) He further showed that
there was. do troth in the charge, and said that no
one should falsify the record of hie public life.—
He regarded the admission of California nsaStnto
into the Union the first measure to be accomplish
ed by Congress, and he would do all iu his power
to accomplish this result. He did no{ believe that
slavery is any where in existence without the
sanction of the positive law, and said that be did
not intend to lend his aid to give that sanction.
: He believed that the plan proposed in the ape*
c|al message of the President oftho United Stales
is the best, if not (he only plan which <jsn be adop
ted. He hid oat say that it was the best plan ab
stractly. “If wishes were horus, beggars wonl J
ride.” We must aim at something practical; whet
can we accomplish, and not wbai we wish mere
ly to accomplish. He believed in his own son!
that peace can be preserved and the Union main
tkioed, and northern principles sufficiently vindi
cated, by adopting the coarse recommended by tie
President He spoke the sentiments of Fsnsuil
Hall, not of the non slavery convention, which
declared war on every body, but the sentiments ol
Faneuil Hall, occupied heretofore, and as will be
by a thousand generations hereafter, by a free, ir
telligent and honest people, when he said; 'The
•Union most at all hazards be preserved-.” And
he here repeated a sentiment which he bad there
ottered (he wished it were better,) but he would
to it: u Our country, whether bounded by
the Sabine of the St. John’s or however otherwise
bounded, be its measurements mere or less—onr
country, to be cherished in all our hearts, and de
fended by all our arms.”

Correspondence of the Pittsburgh GszeUo.
Haxxuxoxon, Feb. 23, 1850.
In the House, this morning, after the reports
and petitions, aod tha reading of bills in place, the
bill lo regulate banks, reported some time ago,
by Mr. Laird, was taken up on second reading.
1 Amendments were .of course in order, and sev*
er&lot an important character had been adopted,
when Mr. Porter, rose, and moved to strike oot
one of me most important provisions of the bill—
a provision that effectually drew the teeth of the
Monster, and left it a very tame and spiritless af
fair. The purport of this provision was, that no
person who had ever taken the benefit of the In
solvent, or who had heretofore gone through any
of the stages of Bankruptcy, should be eligible to
any office In Banks, chartered by the Legislature
of this Commonwealth. Mr. Porter said that be
had no idea of making such a distinction between
the citizens of this Commonwealth, and establish
ing tho precedent, that because a man had once
been poor, he abould always remain so, and be
proscribed from timatiooa of honor and profit in
basking institutions or any others. It would be
a lasting reproach upon the State to pass such an
unheard ot, and unparallelled act oi Legislation.
The provision was stricken out by a large major*
ity, and shortly afterwards, Mr. Cessna, moved to
pospone the further consideration of the subject,
which was agreed to, and the House sooa after
adjourned.
In the Senate, Mr. Darafo read ip his place a

lirmsrrtMO Akxcdotx.—Two young Ameri

were travelling with the view of perfecting them
selves in their claisiu studies. Thus engaged,
they were sojourning for a short time in Vienna.
One day, while crossing one of the streets, an Aov
trian officer of high military rank, came dashing
■tong at a furious rate on horseback. Oae of there
Americans, apprehending that the horse would
rpn against him, raised Ja small caue, with the
view of turning tho horsa’sjbead, whereupon the
officer struck turn with hia whip. Upon ascertain
ing the addresa of the officer, be demanded satis
faction of him; which demand the officer treated
with contempt, ridiculing the idea of his respond*
ing loan unknown American boy. In thia strait
the two young gentlemen laid their grievance be
fore the American representative at that court.
Oor charge immediately addressed tbe.officer, and
after recapitulating the fee!*, informed him that he
must either apologize or give the satisfaction re*
qnired, and that, In the event of hia failing to do
so, he wquld,over his own signature, as the re
firesentative of the American governmant, pub

guns! And Brengheli, a Dutch painter, in n

FEELING it a duty we owe to ourselves and oar

It boa been generally claimed by interested parties,
that there were but four regular responsible Lines on

“Btughamlt Line,” and “Pennsylvania and Ohio Line.”
We elalnr to be a fifth regular-responsible Line, and
have at large a stock oi Boats and Cara, as careful

on the Canal Our “Pittsburgh Transportation Line”
was first established by James O’Connor, in 1831; a few
years later the style was changed ta that of the “Pat
ent Portable Carbody Line.” The old style of the
"Pittsburgh Trans port* lion Line 11 , was resumed in If 45,
and ras been successfully earned on since that dab
by on Messrs. O’CONNOR, who aru ibn Sens and
raeeeasors in business in JAMES O’CONNOR, and
who are the oiu.t O’CONNOR'S now uksixt in the
Transportation business. Our arrangements this sun
son are very extensive, and we feel confident that all
?ho favor our “original old O’Connor’s Pittsburgh,
ransportation Line” with their business, will have it
transacted to their entire satisfaction. Thankful fur
past favors, wo hope by strict attention to the interests
of our pitrmi, to merit and receive a continuance aini
