OF Yesterday evening, Mr.. Ackerman
gave an explanation at length of his " land
scheme.n His development of it gave it
all the recommendation it would admit, but
did not relieve in the slightest degree from
its impracticability. He was fully replied to
by Mr.. Ben. Metcalf who after exposing the
fruitlessness of this scheme to divert attention
from the true issues Of the contest, passed to
the discussion Of the leading questions of the
day, on which he took the radical ground,
and concluded by administering scorching
rebuke to boltors. We had not before heard
Mr.: M. and were not therefore aware of his
great effective power as popular speaker.

How LABOR IS BENEFITED BY PReTEC-
T1oS.-1'he advantages which the opera
tives employed in the large manufactures
gain from the protection afforded to their
rich employers, is that young girls and boys,
as well as old persons, are compelled to la
Dor twelve hours day, with little time for
enjoyment but what is taken from the hours
of rest, for wages which afford mere sub
sistence. In Pittsburgh and Allegheny city
some three weeks since, the operatives in
the cotton factories, male and female, held
a meeting and appointed committee to
present their request to their employers,
that ten hours of labor might be the limit
At subsequent meeting the committee re-
ported, and the substance of the report, as
given in the Gazette T. Advertiser, was
That the proprietors of the factories
would be willing to adopt the ten hour sys-
tenn, provided it could be made a general
thing throughout the United States; but that
il would be impossible for them to compete
with eastern manufacturers under the ten
hour rule, while they operated on the IL
hour system. They stated that in the facto-
ries in the east, the factories run 72 hours
per week, while they ran only So hours
They concluded by saying that unless the ten
hour system is adopted generally throughout
the country, they could not yield TO the re-
quest"
Fifteen hundred operatives, principally
girls, struck" they refused to work till the
ten hour system should be adopted but me-
cessity has compelled them to yield to their
wealthy masters, who now make them work
thirteen hours day! Whatever system it
is that compels men to bring their labor into
market to compete with capital tends to the
degradation and misery of the poor. Let
our forests be cleared and our prairies set
tied, before we endeavor to protect and fos-
ter manufactures, TO build up large work
shops, and crowd population into large cities
TO have their subsistence depend on the
uncertainties Of trade and the avarice oil
capitalits.

FoREreN PArERs- The Chillicode Adverl
fiser gives the true answer to the Wing OBJ
lection that if we do not have Banks that we
will be inundated with foreign paper. That
journal says: (" We have never had as much
foreign bank paper in circulation in Ohio, as
we had when the numbers of our banks was
the largest. The greater the number Of Ohio
banks, the greater has been the circulation
among Us, Of the bank notes Of other States.
And this was caused by the Ohio banks
themselves. For in these days of improved
inanciering sit is called, bank very seldom
circulates its paper in its own immediate
neighborhood. It's afraid to do that, for
fear that if its paper is close by, and the peo-
pie happen to get scared about the solvency
of the bank, they will run the paper in upon
it, and require the specie. So, in order to
keep the paper out, and prevent being called
upon to pay it, it circulates it as far from
home as possible. 1t exchanges with the
banks of another State for their paper and
circulates that instead of its own; while the
foreign bank is doing the same kind turn for
it. Thus, the Ohio banks exchange their
paper with the Indiana banks and the Ohio
paper is circulated in Indiana, and the Indi-
ana paper in Ohio. And by this means the
banks keep their paper out and avoid paying
it. For the farmer in Indiana is not coming
all the way to Ohio, to demand specie for
the Ohio bank notes he gets; nor will the
Ohio farmer 60 to Indiana to get the hard'
for the Indiana notes. And SO the notes are
kept in circulation"
A gentleman from Cleveland with whom
we lately conversed remarked TO us, that
very few of bills of the banks established in
that city under Kelley's law were in circu-
lation there. He believed they were dis
counted to spectators who would put them
afoat at distance, and also sent TO bfokers
for that purpose. It is also mentioned in the
Detroit papers that the bills of the Wooster
Bank are uncomfortably plenty in Michigan.

A british Re.UniOn.

The Toronto, Canada, Globe, is dreaming Of a new
Utopia; which is to be accomplished one of these
days, by a Republication of republicanisn in the free
States, and a reunion with Gambia under the auspi-
ces of the British crown. Though the g Globe - may
be right in s~hpposing that some of our citizens, un-
worthy Of the name, would rejoice in such a consum-
nation, most of our people will be incredulous as to
its sincerity. The mountain might as well GO to
Mahomet, instead Of Mahomet to the mountain. But
listen to its sage conclusion
"After a Babylonish captivity of severity years to
republicanism, our plan would obliterate the remem-
brance Of the tea war, in the cordial union Of the
Eastern, Northern, and Western States, with the Brit
ish Possessions, which would form a powerful confed-
eracy under a British Viceroy or Viceroys with free
Constitutional governments. We know well that
many of the most influential and intelligent citizens
of these States would rejoice in such a deliverance,
but the mass of the less enlightened will cling to their
present form of governments. for some time yet. We
shall not however, despair of seeing the British flag
waving at the Battery OF New York and on Faneuil
Hall in Boston. 1t is impossible that those who have
yet Some ideas of freedom. left, can much longer sub
nit to the requirements of the Slave States"

In noticing the commutatioh of the punishment of

p%ository has the following sensible remarks:
There will be thousands of people sadly dsappoint-
ed by this act of the Governors. Many there are
who anticipated a holiday and confidently expected a
rare treat in the killing Of this man BY LAW, but they
will be disappointed, and we are glad of it; not be-
cause we believe him mot guilty but because we
think Imprisonment for life is, if possible a worse
punishment than death itself, and because we are OPP
posed to gratifying a mob BY giving them a chance
to feast their eyes on such a horrible exhibition as a
Legal Murder !! and because it is letting a man ire
until He who says Vengeance is mine shall choose
to Kill him.

War!

1t was currently rumored that Joe Skies purchased
a large quantity Of gunpowder, not less than four
ounces, and also lead in proportion, amounting to
something like a pound, and without stating his OBJ
ject, left his family and one little children with nine
at the breast, and started northeast. He had, no
doubt, sealed orders, and we should not be surprised
if we should find the nation involved in war, long
before President Polk or Congress lets us know any
thing about 1t. O.!
Astonishing how suddenly the President has be-
come known to the Wings! But it will be more as
~tonishing to hear, ten years hence, how strongly they
will charge such scare-old-women, anti-war para
graphs, on the democrats and how they will produce
arguments to prove that they declared war, and fought,
bled and died in it Such things have been.
