MONDAY, MAY 1, 1843
Every movement around us indicates
that a great change is about to be made
the condition of the people. We do not
believe in Millet ism,but we think that there
is aomethingjto take place of equal imp) •-•
lance to many, though it cannot all he
consummated in one day or one year.—
But we now see the premonitory symp
, toms in all the ramificatiors of society.—
The producer is asatining a more bold and
determined demean while the non pro
ducer is humbled, and shows an anxiety to
yield to the apparent tendency of the age.
Hardly a night now passes but some
class of producers have meetings and cau
cuses for the purpose of .investigating the
causes which have . conspired to reduce
them to their present humbled condition;
and when the cause is once ascertained, it
can easily he removed. The minds amen
are busy. The movements are simulta.
nexus in all parts of the country. Men
who never exercised their thinking facul
ties before; who never thought of any oth
er than political and individual reforms,
now see that there is something ‘r rung in
society which needs the pruning knife, if
not to be tota:ly uprooted.
The committee appoin'ed by the wroks
ingmer.'a.meeting, have prepared a decla
ration of their causes o: the evils which
now oppress them, which will be presen.
ted to % convention and Mass meeting to
be held'on Wednesday next.
- We have been informed that the Factory
operatives of Allegheny, have wit a Con.
atitution formed and are about to organize
an association permanently for their own
protection and the advancement of their in
terests. It is also said that they intepd in
a very short to make a strike for the "ten
boor system." We can only say "be sure
you're right then go ahead." We do think
that in the present state of public feeling,
they would succeed, were they to have
Concerted acti m in the attempt. That pub
lic opinion would aid them, we know.—
It needs no argument of mere words to
convince the humane, that the system
should bead , peed, Let any man follow
a child, (Attie boy or girl) from the time
it is awakened in the morning (about four
_o'clock) until the Mill stops in the evening,
and if his heart does not melt within him,
it must be made of the "sterne: stuff"— 1
The heart sickens at the thought of the
misery that is caused 11`the pre s ent system
of Factory labor, and yet we will be told
that the .masters are doing the operators a
favor by giving them work! What sage
political economists some folks are, to a
BUM that when one stream of wealth is
cut off, that it Will not flow through some
other channtd from the same grand source.
More Outrages on American . Vessa
•
The brig Ceyl arrived at Salem on
Sunday last, brings accounts of more out
ragescm American vessels by British board
ing officers. The Register states that the
Capt. of the Ceylon reports thrt the barque
Roderick Dhu, of Providence, Capt Rich
ard:T. Sims, of Salem. was at Aeon, De
cember 10, to sail for windward coast.—
Capt. Sims had been boarded by an of&
cer of H. B. M brig Spy, and treated in
a most shameful and- insulting manner, in
asmach that Capt. S. had felt bound to
e make a representation of the case to the
British commandant of the station. Capt.
Sims' statement was fully corroborated by
an English gentleman, a paaFenger with
him at the time. The same officer board.
ed the Ceylon the day af,er, and Captain
Dayley states that he was sottish in his p •
pearance, he would not invite him to his
cabin. The officer, however, did not wait
for an invitation. but when Capt. D. went
for his papers as demanded, foll‘;wed him
into the cabin of his own accord.
A second Putnam.—At a panther hun t
in Sullivan county, Maine, on the 12th in•
stant, one of the animals was shot in his
den, the entrance of which was too small
for a man to crawl into it. A lad, named
William Lane, armed himself with a Span.
jab dirk and hunting axe, and in ho crept,
mad anon buried the axe in the head, and
cut the throat of the ferocious beast, whic'i
quickly put an end to his struggles. He
• ; hauled out the panther, which meas•
reed 9 feet 7 inches from his nose to the
end of his tail.
Large Steamboat.—Mr. Burden, of
Tray, N. Y is about to con,ti uct a steam
boat eix hundred f et long, to run bet ween
Troy.and New York city. It is expected
that elle will get over the 160 milJs in five

'Who reads an . : American Book," and
this feelingof contempt for the productions
of our native writers, is fostered by the
cold manner in which their labors aro en
couraged by their countrymen, and the
mood in which they receive the insolent
sneers of the Europeans. But it is now ev•
ident that a better state orfeeling is grow
ing up in England in - relation to the wri

is not fat distantwhen the works of Amer•
icanltuthers :will be sought for with as
rr.ucli interest in England, as we have for
merly desired the books of English authors
in this country. As a proof of this, we
might statethat in the packet of March 4th,
the Messrs: Harpers sent to John Murray,
the great London publisher, 1250 copies of
Stephen's Incidents of Travel in Yucatan.
By the Brittania they received an order
fur 750 copies more, which were shipped
on Thursday last; and in addition to all
these, Messrs. Wil-y and Putnam have
sent 250 copies totheir house'in Lond,in—
making in a 112.250 copies. Of the inci

don has taken 4:000 copies.
Mr. Murray writes to the Messrs. Hart.
per that at the s3lO trade in March, when
only a dozen sample copies had been re•

tween that sale arid the writing of his let

REVOLT AT CARNES.
Eight Negroes Beheaded.—A letter to the N. 0
Picayune doted Havanna, April 6, alp:
"Accompanying this you will receive the
"Faro" of the same date, containing the trial, sen
tence and execution, of the negroes taken as par
ticipators in the recent revolt at Carnes, in this
island. You will perceive that eight of them
have been beheaded! I learn from -a gentleman
who arrived from there yesterday, that the loss
and destruction of life are immense. Negroes who
took no part in the insurrection, and had no
knowledge of its contemplation, became alarmed
when they sax the hurrying, in "hot haste," to
and fro if the soldiers and the armed white civil.
;ens; they fled to the woods with the actual con.
spirators, and were with them and discriminately
pot to death. Independently of those who have
been or to be execu!eo, in compliance with the
smience of the comt martial, not less than five
hundred of have been shot in the melee or have
hung themselves."
Assumpt:on of Private Debte.—A Vermont pa•
per thinks it hard that the magnificent scheme
of assumption should he extended only to the debts
of the States, when there ore ho many private cit.
`ZCIJS in the Union deeply in debt, and needing a
lielpinri hand to g , :t theta out • It theiefore, pro
poses that the nation should extend relief to the
peopld at large. The plan is this;
A president to be chosen in each ac' 00l dis
tria, who is to take the nainea of every man, wo
man etti child in the district, and forward them
to the President of the United States. The
President is than to issue in piper money a• many
dollars as there are inhatiitants in the United
Stites. This is to be., forwarded in due propor
tion to each district, countersigned by the presi
dent of such district and loaned out by him to
those who are in slat; upon landed security. It
is to be made a legal tender. No interest is to be
paid by the borrowers for tho first coven years.—
For the next oilcan years dilly. are to pay interest
annually, which interest is 14 lie applied to pall
chase land for the poor who have nne. At the
end of the si cond a ven years all the books con.
raining accounts of the loan are to be burner', and
all the debts are forgiven. 'rhos those in debt
are to be relieved, and the poor !tarnished with
property, all by the magic of primed bits of pa
per, duly signed and ccuritersizned. This plan
is very slimier in principle to Johnson': plan for
assiiminz the State dehts, and is mitt, inly an im.
provement on it. Perliaps ii the party lake
tip this scheme, they may make corns political
capital of it.
The person who was apprehended in
Phil idelphia some days since on suspicion
of having committed the murder in Dim.
!Min county,has been taken to Harrisburg
and underwent a searching examination
which re:wire! in his discharge; as nothing
was elicited to ju-tify a suspicion that he
had any hand or bait in the horrid trans
action. A correspondent of the U. S. Ga
zette gives the following account cfhis ex •
amination before C. A.Snyder, Esq. ,
'The prisoner Mason states that he it; a
native of Ireland (and his pronounciation
confirms that fact)—that he married a
w dow in Lewi-burg, Union county, with
three children, to which has since been
lidded another—that he got out of work
and set out in qeest of ir, intending to go to
Ireland, and telling his wife that ► would
send her money from thence or come ever
for her. Lie says that he wai at Harris
, burgh on the night preceding the commis
mission of the murder—slept in 11, canal
boat laden with wood in which he had
come down from Montgomery's Ferry—
says he helped to unlond it in the rooming
and proceeded to Middletown about •12
o'clock the same day, (Friday) an gives
a history of his arrest in Lebanon Aunty,
discharge before Adam Wise, Esq., which
seems to tal!y with other facts very well.
'Robert McWhorter of Reading was ale
so examined under oath. It would seem
from the statement of Mr. McWhorter,
that the secret which Mason was about
to commenicate to him was merely that
10 had been arrested on suspicion. The
particulars which he gave concerning the
manner of the murder, were only those
which he heard talked of in the Country.
The following is the strongest part of Mr.
McWhorter's testimony. 'Masioe. said in
the night when he and Mr. Me: %e sleep
Mg together, rather to himset. .is i 6 the
only time I have ever been guilty, and if 1
get off this lime 1 will never b 3 guilty of
the like again.' (Mason says, he said it
was the first time he had ever been arrres•
led, &c.) McWhorter denies in toto the
reports given of this matter, and of hit
testimony in the Philadelphia penny pa
pers. Mr. McWhorter asked ,Mason if hi
_had heard of the wood chopper that was
arrested: Mason said he was the man, and
that he had a discharge.
'The son of the deceased was here al
the while and seeme I to be the least ire
arrested of any person present at the et
aminatien. Every one seems to shirk
that Mason i 3 innocent, that the secret was
that he had been arrested, and thaVie was
merely eloping from his wife-'
The exarninati )r) was resumed m Tues

says:

the murder is said by the ion to have been

George P. Weistliog, who purchased
theOrood above refered to, recollects that
the defendant was on the boat, and is sat
isfied that the unloading of the wood was
not completed before 11 o'clock. Some
other testimony corroborative of the above
was also taken.
The Cil Duel. —W e observe that Mr.
Wise is referring to tins matter again, in
his speeches before his constituents. He
gives about the same amount of the lament
able affair as he did in his speech in Con
gress, but he appears to have less delicacy
in assigning Mr. Clay an important part in
arranging the preliminaries of the murder.
In one of his late speeches be said—lt was
a fair duel—but that if censure and odium
attached to an) one, it should be to 1 - I.op ,
ry Clay; for, he was the counsellor and att ., .
viser, and dictated the terms of the duel—
that he (Mr. LV.) protested against the ri
fles, and the language of the challenge,
which dosed the door to an adjustment of
the difficulty, but was overruled by Mr.
Clay—that he expressed ,an unwillingness
to be the hearer of a challenge so uncom ,,
promising in its character, but at length
yielded to an appeal from Mr. Graves,whn
reminded him that he had been his friend

Messrs. Editors:—ln noticing the strike
made by the hand+ at the Iron Works of
Messrs. Wood, Edwards & McKnight,
you seem not to have been apprized of the
unfair system thatis practsied upon them
by then employers, and from which these
hard workingmen revolted. It is this:
Messrs. Woods, Edwards & McKnight
pay their hands in iron at 4 cents per
whi!e they sell the very same description
of iron out of their store at 3 cents per lb.,
on a credit of G months. Thus they charge
their hands an advance of 33k- per cent. a- I
hove 6 months credit price in payment of
wages.
But this is not all— the same quality of
iron as that manufactured by Mess. Wood.
Edward s & McKnight, is sold in this city
for cash at,2:l cents per lb. The hands
have to pay 4 cents—the advance is 60 p e r
cent. Is this to be borne? It this not
shaving with a vengence? Men must work
at redu ed wages and be paid in an article
furnished by their employers at 60 per cent
advance on its cash value, or 33a- per cent
sbcve what those very employers them,
selves sell the same article for on 6 months
credit.
Is this honest? You may call it what
you please, but I call such comityt an in.
famous system of grinding the poor.

li g etely Inc en fed Carriage Springs.—l)
this age .4)f n ovelty and experiment, we
have tartly had occasion to notice a more
agreeable and decided improvement than
that of an application of a new style of
spring capable of adoption to all classeea of
vehicles, by Mr. John S. Tough, a gentle
man of this city whose ingenuity has been
successfully directed to various branches of
scientific mechanism. We enjoyed a short
excursion the other day in a carriage sus.
penied upon the principle to which we
lefty, and of course we are enabled to tes
tify expetimentally on its qualifications,
and to do so the more readily being pre
pared to acquit ourselves in terms of un.
qualified approval. The suspension of
tho carriage is upon a plate sustained by
spiral springs enclosed in a brass cylender,
each Pet occupying a vertical position be.
tween the wheei and the body of the car
riage. The springs are so arranged, that
the weight ofone or two persons acts only
upon the upper or lighter spring, while a
heavier weight brings the lower spring in
to action, thus regulating the buoyant mo
tion of the vehicle; a spit al spring acting
horizontally upon the perch, restores con
stantly the equilibrium, and the admirable
effect of the whole arrangement was in
disputably tested upon a portion of a tbor.
ough rough road, in traversing which the
rudest effect would scarcely be deemed,
even by a lady,an inc , nytin once. A descrip
tion we are aware is calculated to convey
an idea of complicated machinery, but to
thosi familiar with the uses of the spiral
spring, a glance would satisfy them of its '
simplicity. We are inclined to think that
the invention of Mr. Tough is destined to
a very general use, especially as the cost,
is no more than thatof the ordinary springs
in use; while the advantage is inestimable
to those whose business calls them free

With these promises to pay did the gov . ernment
of Massachusetts recompense tits brave men (of
their widows and iirph who had fought in
I in Canada. The bills fell immediately in value.—
, The depreciation the first yetir was one third,
which bore with cruet severity upon the poor.—
The next year the general court resolved that the
emission should never exceed £10,000; and Gov
ernor Phipps, who had possession of a large a
mount
of specie, exchanged it fur these bills at
par. But every effort proved unavailing to ke.p
up their v.ilue. In 169'2, another law was passed,
by %hie) the treasurer was authorized to allow
five per cent. bonus upon the bits in payment for '
the public dues, as often as they should come in,
some of which were returned to the treasury sev
eral tunes in a year. At the same time it decreed
that these bills should pass current in all pay
ments as equivalent to money. But this expedi
ent, though for a few years partially successful,
in the end did but aggravate the evil. For this
temporary restoration of credit served only to de.
ludo the people with cake hopes. Money became
scarce. Relief was sought in near issues of pa
per. In 1714, £50,000 in hills were issued; in
1716, £ 1 00,000; other issues continued to be
made, with an infatuation that has only been
equalled in our times. The basis in colony days,
was the credit of the State; these notes were res
crived for taxes whenever there was any to pay,
and order( d to be received by the creditors in dis.
Cilarat: of his demands.
The other coloni3s followed the example of
Nlas.achusetts, a-.d with the &Sine success. The
(ircu attng medium of.. the colonies became
wretch-if in character, and contemporary wri.
tern are as severe upon the "paper money patri
ots" and '•lezislattires of debtors" as any in more
modern times. Douglass, who wrote it 174 R,
handles the-c "paper money making assemblies"
without fear or favor. He speaks of this plan to
pay &his as "fraudulent," &e., "cheat;" and of
the bills issued as "a desolating torrent becoming
more, and more vh,lent."
