THE CONVENTION BILL.

We last week stated that the convention
bill which was up in the Senate would meet
with the same fate as did that o! the house
In this we were mistaken, the bill passed the
Senate by vote of 81 yeas to 6 nays. This
gave renewed courage to the friends OF the
measure that it would yet pass in the House
by the constitutional number but we are sorry
to inform our readers that the same mail that
brought the glad ti1ings of the large vote in
the Senate in favor Of the bill, also brought
the news that the bill was again defeated in
the house.
Thus the will of The people is set at naught
and Whiggery is triumphant! But the glory
of coondom cannot last long. A new consti
tuition, will be the cry throughout the length
and breadth Of the country, and will doubtless
be made the leading question in every FEEDER
al District in the state, at the next election.
Let the people act upon this matter ant
Whiggery must soon be satisfied that the
voters in republican government can be
| trusted with their own affairs.

Defeat of the Conve ution Bill.

The wings in the House to-day, pm, the
finishing touch to their brazen opposition
to the public will, in the final defea a #
the convention bills, both that from the
Senate, aud the reconsideration of tie
House bill. This stubborn. mulIsh. dog

properly met and justly rebuked.
Let the Journal and its hangers on say
no more about the corruption Of Leglsla

be, they still have a worse opinion of the
people, and hence they refuse 10 give
them the right to express yea or nay, for
a revision Of the fundamental law and a

Pvotecf;on.

i FfOtectIOns
Letit be remembered that the Pitts
burg cottoR manufacturers, whose perse.
cution against. labor and little children
has lately rendered them SO notorious
belong toAbat class Of men for whom The
federal party ask protection. Protection
for these rich and tyrannical capitalists!
10 II that they may, by monopoIizing the
wealth OF the country, still further grind
wnshonest industry in the dust! They
have had protection enongh--loo much al
together. The incidents that have trans
p'red a, Pittsburg, explode the oft repeat
ed assertions Of federalism, that ifmanur
factnres are protec they will give cor
responding protection to their operatives.
What care these Lords Of the Loom about
improving the condition Of their opera
lives, or increasing the rev ards Of labor,
however much their own profits may be
enhanced by the protection of govern"
menl! The conduct Of the Pittsburg
manufacturers gives no; answer to that
queslion--it demonstrates what 9 mpa-
thy those men whu live in splendid pala-
ces and 60 clad in gay attire, have with
the poor operatives whose hardy toll has
purchase them their wealth. When a
law of Pennsylvania sought to bestow
protection upon labor directly, by decIa
ring that no operative in a cotton mill
should be compelled to labor more than
ten hours a day, what howl of opposition
was Sc, up by these task masters agains'
that humane and wholesome act! Al
wa Us imporlunlng government 70 protect
capital, they could not bear to see lobor
protected. And what means did they
leave untried to evsde that law?-and
when they could not succeed IN that, they
convict litlIe boys and girls Of riot, and
imprison them, whose only offence W as
that they had asserted the rights guaran'
tied to them by their State Legislature.
and refused longer to toll twelve, fours
teen andesixteen hours day!
Ponder upon these things, ye who be
leye in the doctrine that government
should protect the rich, that the rich
may take care of the poor! Too long
has the world been governed upon that
false and pornicious principle. 1t is the
antiquted d"gma that has bound the mass
es iu slavery from time immemorial--,o
which may be traced by far the greater
portion of all the ills that aflict human
society," L maintenance Of that prin
ciple in this country, aud which is the
doctrine Of federal protectionists, would
soon and efectually rescue the operas
tives in our manufacturing establishments
to a state Of moral aud social bondage
equal to the worst that ever oppressed the
soil Of Europe. We re in favor of pro
,ec,ing home industry bui not by build
ing up few capitalists--a sort unti-
tied nobility and leaving them to do ii
second-handed. Government must DE- il
directly or il will not be done--nay fur-
thcr, the chains will only be tightened
upon the masses This, the past history
of the world has proven. We make no
war upon capital but against its encreach
ments upon the rights ofiabor,
