A correspondent informs us TINT much
complaint has been made that The copy right
of Facts for The Laboring Man," has been
" SECURED" as it has prevented many papers
from publishing es,racls from the pamphlet
We cunnot think that any paper has been
deferred from eStractine ms much as they sa "
fit from the pamphlet on this account, as pub
fishers gcEerally understand the object OF
SECURING a copy right OF an expensive work
|to be FOR the purpdsc. Of preventing its being
pnblisht by others in a similar form. That
was our only object We should have been
pleased to have seen the facts contained in
that important work published in every papr,

however, Notwithstanding the complaints OF
our correspondent. ihata number of papers
in various parts of the country, have ex,rac.
ted freely from the work, and what is better

are anxious to have the jacis circulated, are
informed that we have a few hundred copies

pose of, at $40 per 100.

fell far short OF the reality. Never be-
fore have we seen such an assemblagc-
whether respect be had to the nunber,
the appearance, the responsibility or the
intelligence. There were not less lhsn
$1,000, and many, accustomed to esi-
mating the numbers Of nulllludes, put
them down at not less than 2O,0 900. The
cream OF the Old Dominion was assem-
bled. The good, the wise, the patriotic
the farmer, the mechanic, the lawyer,
the doctor, the merchant, the student,
the fair, the lovely ialr-the old aud the
young, the soldier OF the revolution, the
soldier oi the late war, all were coming
from every corner OF this far famed old
Commonwealth.

ed president OF the COW entioll. He
responded to the compliment in char
