MIR. EDITOR It has been thought by ,nonv tb.. there are among the manufacturing population considerable portion of the children, growirr m with little or no education, except such knowlodoo as would enable them to perform their daily task Hence they have concluded that on the whole on. manufactures would prove damage to the comr, Knowing these facts can assure you. that wac somewhat smpriseddurIng the extra Session of tbo Legislature to hear prominent member,who res;do, in the vicinity of several large establishments SC ser, that the children working in the factores voro as we'll educated as any other class of children in the country-that they were contented happv and were as moral, and had as good religious instmc- ton as any others and in his opinion, thelr condition was better than the generality of the people in tbp State; or words nearly to the same effect donot pretend to give the words, verbatim but epdesvor not to mlsrepresent the meaning
 If such is the fact it will give me much satssc-
 ton to have it confirmed through the medium Of tho Advocate. Will you, or some of you're cor?espon. dents give the public true statement of facts coo. corning this matter? Justice demands that ho truth should be known, and if the common opinion IS unfounded, the error ought to be corrected, L. We think 1t does not require much argument to con. vince such of our readers who are at all acouajncd with the condition of the younger portion of the fac tory population of New England, of the falsy of the assertion referred to above by our correspondent t
 bad enough to hear such assertions from those whos
 interest it is to make the public believe there are no lust grounds of complaint against present factory sys
 en-still more dnplcrabe is it that that system should find apoogists and supporters among those in author
 y whose duty it unquestionably is to plead the cause and assert the rights of the oppressed among all cas scs.
 On casting our eye over the above comnu.lication we were forciby struck by the similarity of language used by this ''promincnt member, concerning the factory children of tie north, to that sometimes urged by the advocates of $'crery at the south These chI dren contcntcd and happy, says this sage lcgis lator 9Th. slaves at e south are not so bad off az people imagine, says another They are contcnr- ed and happy.' Well, does it follow that we have right to niict injuries our fellow beings. and keep them in ignorance and degradation because torsooh they manifest no particular symptoms of dissaistac ton with their lot? Some one has said :fgnorance is bliss ts folly to be wise The prominent mem Der in question. evidently goes upon the ground thai ignorance iS bliss. This being the case it is no strange that lie should consider factory operatives " contented and happy. ED. ADVOCATE.

NORWICH, JANUARY 16, 1887

TuE TEN HOUR sysTEM.-We are frequently asked system into manufactures and work shops, and what course the workingmen intend to adopt hereaf- ttr to effect the change they propose. We are com prltcd to admit that not much has been done to- wards accomplishing the object: mg ght and shoul. have been done up the present time but it. affords which cannot fail. we thnk, to prove successtuI-at least far 1t regards change in the condition of the inmates of manufacturing establishments. That class of working people in this State are determined 10 memorabilia the next Legislature for the enactment of law which sal! place some reasonable restrictions upon the demands of the employer, and which shall the time place the honest laborcr beyond the reach of that species of cruelty which deprivcs him of the enjoyment of of the dearest rights and most sacred privileges to which he is justly entitled as man and citizen.

Mechanics and Laborers! are you aware of the importance of the station you hold in society: Just think for moment what condition the nonpo- ducing classes would be in, were you to cease opc- rations for few days
 Why is it, that those who are and have so long been the main pillars in the temple of liberty nave been so much eglccted, and counted as unworthy to fill places of profit or trust in the affairs ot go' ernment? Is it not owing to want of seii-reSpec' among yourselves, and false estimate Of men, growing out of fictitious circumstances? Is 1t no because you have been in the habit of estimating the worth of men, by the depth of their purses o the extent of their lands: It is high time, thai more correct standard was established Let a@yw ness and mert, rather than costly equipFage be the criterion to judge by; and my word for It, vel should find, "MENE TEKEL," written on many |hON we have been looking upon as superlors-up then and assert your rights, and others will respect you Depend omit, mo one wI De respected 'cto docs n' * speej himsey:

DISTRESSING oCCURRENCE.-On Frld?y last, most melancholy accident happened on the River St. Lawrence, about three miles above this town, by which four individuals met with watery grave The circumstances as they have been detailed to us are briefly these Six persons, all residents in this village and Its vicinity, left French Creek, in the State of New York, on Thursday last in a small boat with the intention of proceeding to their scv eral homes to spend the Holidays. They arrived al Oak Point, snail settlement on the American shore i've miles above Brockvil!e, on that evening" where, being exhausted )v the cold. and standing in need of retreshment, they determined to pass the night Two of the party, however, considering more safe as well as comfortable, formed the resolution of re- turning by land, while the other four embarked in the boat on the following morning, and had arrived within three miles of their place of destination, when they were upset by sudden squall, and every one on board perisied-onc of the number was seen clinginG to the boat for some time, his cries were distinctly heard, and he seen to make every sig
