V irginia.Election
The returns are, so far, of the most cheer
ing character. Messrs Atkinson, Drom.
Hubard, Jones, Lucas, Taylor, Hop.
itins and Steenrod, (5) Democrats, are
elected to Congres Mr Wi4e, ho now
claims to be a Democrat, is also elected.—
'Messrs Newton and Chilton are all that the
Whigs have, thus far, elected. From pre
sent appearances, they are not likely to
elect more that One other member—which
will give them a total of three in the dele—
gation. The dtrrocrats will have the re-
maining 12.
It. is probable that, owing to the fact of
(helm Legislature (which was strongly
dembcratic) having levied a tax to pay the
interest• on the State Loan.., there may be
a considet able reduction of the democratic
majority in the House of Delegates. The
whigs proved their devotion to practical
repudiation by laboring, wilt tireless ac
tivity, to defeat the den ocratic delegates
who voted for the Tax. We do hope that
- liner this conduct the federil presses will
not have theiudacity to deny that they are
the , only efficient advocates of the s•herne
of repudiation has in this coutyry. As

Llallabts Oration.
We will, on Monday, publish the admi
rable Oration of G 11 Dallas, Esq d liv•
erect at the celebraiion of Jefferson's Birth
Day in Philadelphia. It is a most splen
did production, and should be read by ev
ery man who entertains one spark of yen..
'ration for• the memory of Jefferson, or any
love for the &riot's pri-iciples to the pro•
motion of which he devoted his whole
heart and the lal,ors of his life. We espe
cially commend the Democratic creed, as
vibodied in this oration, to those who,
under the idra that Democracy does not
.aufficiently. rroteet the workingman, are
strikin.l to build up a new party; and we
would ask 'What they can b'ain, under any
new organization. more tan that creed

A meeting h ts been hel I in Cincinnati,
at which a resolution was passed recom
mending the first Monday in June f .r the
holdirtz of a Convention in that city tif [he
'friends of the inn mediate settlement of Ore
gon. A committee of some 15 or 20 per
eons are also appointed 'fur the purpose of
making arrangemenss f.n• said convention,
end for conferring with others fiiend!y to
the cause in this and adjoining States.'—
We hope a day will speedily be agreed
upon, and delegates app . oin . ted from the
wEo'e %Vest. The fever' appears to be at
its 'height in the west yet, and we think
from the interest universally taken in the
Auhjeet that the next Congress cannot re

The Factory Girls.
We have not a democratic paper in our
exchange list that has not said something
handsome in commendation of the heroic
-conduct of the Factory !ills of Allegheny.
The Ohio Statesman, for example, speaks
-thus:--The little girls are right—let the
chicken tax rowdies, who pulled off their
silk gloves and broadcloth, and put on
check hunting shirts in 1840, to promise
high wages, now stick to their promises,
or slope to another country.

The whole party clung to the tree, and

the village ofKilwo rib, six miles distant,
four of them were chilled through and
thereby unable to retain their poviticn,per.

spectators rn sliore,who could render them
no assistance. The dreadful occurrence
took place about two o'clock, P. M., but

Piracy on the Savannah river. —We
learn from a slip from the Savannah Re
publican, that more aggressions upon
British vessels have lately been committed
on that river. The British ship Perthshire
was attacked OR the 13th inst., her mate,
carpenter, and steward tied to ring -bolts,
and her men got into a boat to leave the
vessel, when assistance approaching from
neighboring vessels, the boat was upset in
a hurry. The pirates swam ashore and
the sailors regained the ship.
Another Outrage in New York • e
Sun slys: "On Friday night, a man who
keeps a cigar store in Washington street,
between Murray and Warren streos,naade
a most foul and desperate attackon his
wife with a knife, wounding her in sever
al places, two of which were in the breast
and one in the neck. He fled, and has not
been seen or heard of since. His name is

It appears that the Philadelphia May
Day was rather more pleasant than ours
was. The Forum, a very respectable Clay
parr, which had been Nuspended fur a few
days, re-appeared in gond spirits, and de
voted neatly a column to the first of May.
A more fitting sulject for the literary . pen
of its editor than Clay.
Cause of Hurd Times.—The cause of
the "hard times" from which we ure just
now emerging is said, by an exchange, to
be "because one third of the nation have
lived in idleness, on the labor of the other
two-thirds, by means of credit, for the last
twenty yea's." This is the real cause,
though it may not he apparent to the su -
pet ficial observers.
Hague's Horoscope for May, contains
some queer things. Here's a sample:—
Literary Men Vk ill feel the vengeance of
NI are fur libelling. An actress must act
clear of aged men; while another will act
ith a statesman Cr minister, at the altar.—
Promotion may be expected by an eccen
tric character. The editors will have some
laws to write about, before the month
epds.
Corn. Porter.—Why is it that this gal
lant officer—the very flower of the Navy—
the "bravest of the brave" is suffered to go
o the grave unwept and s unsung. We
have seen no movements or manifestations
et made calculated to exhibit one tithe part
of the regret we should feel fur the loss of
so brave a man and pure a pail i t as the
commander of the "Essex."
Surely the loss of duck a man to our Na.
vy, may well be regarded as a nutional ca
lamity, and shouli be a matter of universal
and national sorrow. He has left tut few
such as he was, behind him.
Laterfrom illexeco.—The U. S. sloop o f
war Vincennes arrived at Pensacola, res.
cently. On board of her were Judge
Hucthinson, and Messrs. Jones and Ma..
verick, three of the San Antonia prisoners
recently released to Gen. Thompson by
Santa Anna.
The N. 0. Pic. says: —The news in le.
lation t) the Texan prisoners, in the main
is gloomy enough, especially as rega.rd
those retaken who belonged to dol. Fish

Manchester Strike.
Messrs. Editors:—l have noticed an ar
ticle in the Chronicle purporting to come
from a disinterested person, on the late
turn out in Manchester, and in truth it
seems hd has interested himself so much in
the matter that it appears that it must be
Mr Townsend himself or one that could
use his exact language. As to the course
the hands have pursued, they were neither
hasty or inconsiderate, as it had been in
consideration to have a strike in the es
tablishment fur better than two years; and
Mr Townsend himself said that he had ex.
pected a turn out but that he would
discharge the leadets and it would all blow
over. Now one of these leaders was Levi
Bur chfield, (a kind of an excus fcr a boss
in the blacksmith shop.) who, %Mt] a'l the
hands struck for what they in all honor
ani honesty ought to have, said Levi back
ed nut, and staid at his work—all that the
hands wanted was goods at Pittsburgh re
tail prices, and sufficient market money, as
the butcher on the morning of the strike
refused to take Townserid's orders f.r
beef.
It appeals that when the butcher called
on him for his money and told him he
could give him no more meat without it,
Mr Townserd•told hiin, "Tuck on dotble
price and be d—d to them, and they will
not trouh!e you long." But the butcher
' had too much honesty. he told them (the
hands,) that they could have as much beef
as they wanted on their own account, but
not on the orders. Townsend sold his
store goods at enormous prices: for in
stance, sugar 8 cents per lb; coffee 16r;
eggs S cts; and every thing accordingly: of
thes.e tirades, we could get sugar for 6 cts;
coffee 12de; eggs 6 cents,' in any other
store in all the country The writer in the
Chronicle says he did not force his men to
take goods: this it positively fake; if a
hand growled about the price of any arti •
cle and said he could get it cheaper in
another place, the ansa er would be, "go
get it there." "But I have no money."—
"I can't help it, I have not got any."
Well, if the man had a family he had to
take the goods or do without. So much
for Tuwnsend's fair dealing. Some of the
hands, it is true, are in debt, but they took
the only way to get out they possibly
could, and that was, to demand goods at
caer prices, and a litrle cash for nee Hui
purposes. Take an honest man's word
for it, not a hand will owe him a dollar in
six weeks from the preser.t. time. There!
is another misstatement in the Chronicle,
and that is that some of the hands were
pilled out of the shop by their c.omrad, a.
How infamous to try to palm off such stuff
on the public; every mm turned out of his
own accord without force or coercion of
any kind. As for that powder story, it was
none of the hands that were on the strike
did it, and moreover it was only scattered
around the anvil.of the redoubted Levi by
some evil disposed person. TRUTH.
