THE FACTORY GIRLS.

When, two or three weeks, since in abiding
to the"fne log cabin" at Mortified, noticed in the
Waterman, we stated that we had been informed
that the wages of the factory girls had been re-
duced, we were far from suspeclng that so small
shot would make such stir among the feathers
The last Waterman has a card purportiag to be
signed by about 60 of the factory girls, in which
they thank re.y kindly nr giving them the IN
formation that their Irregular wages" had been re-
duccd. Mark the word regular-why did they
not say their wages without qualification BE
cause the reduction was on the Orer work they
were allowed to do, and not on their regular
weekly wages. Why did some 10 girls leave if
there was no reduction!
But how were the signatures obtaincd' Wcare
informed from various and most respectable sources
that they were obtained by Misrepresentation and
fraud-in several instances, if not gcnerally-that
the girls were told that the Patriot had sandered
them by stating that they hal atieadei a uhig log
cabin contention, and that the object was to
put down this slandcr-that some, if not all signed
blank piece of paper, which was afterwards fill
ed up to order by somebody, who talks Gmliarly
of "the schemes of NIessrs. Buchanan and Walker
and "the hard money standard Of France and Ger

never yet deceived us, that Van Buren's majority
next October will reach 200.
FRANKLIN four years ago gave Harrison 43O
majority. The federalisis there would now be quite
willing to be let off with $50 against him.
OLD BERKs in 1886 gave Van Buren, majority
of only three thousand three hundred and eighty
six II will be swelled to FOUR THOUSAND
FIVE HUNDRED, at the coming election-more
than any. STATE in the Union will probably give
for Harrison.
CAMBRIA at the last contest gave majority OF

We might thus travel over the entire list of cOun-
ties, from the Delware to the Erie, and exhibit a
host of similar changes in our favour. But the
above must suffice. They are amply sufficient, to
show our brethren at distance what reliance can
be put upon the bravado style of whiggery
efforts to turn Pennsylvania into federal state,
must and will prove abortive. As well might you
attempt to lift the state herself from the position in
which the God of Nature has placed her, and throw
her into the lap of Hartford, to seduce her sons
into the embraces of Federalism. IT NEVER
NEVER CAN BE DONE.-Keysione.

SYSTEM.

We have permission from friend of the old
Hero, to publish the 70, owing extract from let
ter upon other business, IL which he expresses his
sentiments upon the aLsurd and unn eUping system
now carrying ON by the friends ard supporters Of
the Federal Wing candidate for the Presidency
The extract will be read with interest, as well as
pleasure, by the friends fdccenc! and good order,
in all quarters where it meets the "puBLIC
EYE, a."
81 think the attempt of the opposition to de-
grade our moral and national character, both at
home and abroad by their humbuggery of hard
cider and log cabins begins to reco upon the ac-
tors, 1t is saying 10 the people YOU are too ignorant
for self government, and we can lead You any
where by the scent of hard cider cask. his is
100 great an ndigniiy for the people to submit to.
With my kind regards.

DEAR SIR,-I was fortunate enough to bt
present at meeting of the Natchez Tippe
canoe Club, of which Col. A.. L. Ringl mar
is President, held at the Court House OF
Saturday the 18th instant,
Notwithstanding it was very busy day
it was the largest, most respectable, and de.
cidedly the most animated meeting I evel
saw in that city, and have resided there
for more than four years, besides which, il
was graced by goodly number of the, fairest
and best of Gods creation.
After organizing, the Club was addressed
by H. D. Vaudeville, Jr. Esq, and more
beautiful speech never listened to in all
my life, and the deepest attention was paid
him throughout.
When he spoke, and he spoke feeiingly
eloquently of Mr.. Clay-of his devotion to
the party-of his enlisting as volunteer,
and descending to the ranks as a mere sol
der, when he had right to expect he
would have been the leader--of his deter
minasion to do all, and dare all, that was be.
coming man for the good of the cause
when he spoke thus, say, the young men
raished their voices as one man, and tears
kissed the cheeks of the aged man that had
long been dry.
After passing sundry resolutions, they adj
journed 10 meet again that day two weeks,
when, believe they are to raise their Cabin
The President appointed Thomas Armat,
Esq. TO address them upon that day. They
also appointed committee to appoint dele-
gates to the Nashville Convention.
I hope the next mail viii bring Mr. Nam
deville's speech.
In great haste,
Respectfully sir,
Your obe't serv't.
