A Triumph,

L. Harper, Esq, Editor of the Pittsburg
morning Post, against whom bitter warfare
mas been for some time urged in consequence
OF his fearless advocacy of the Ten Hour Law
mas effected glorious triumph. This war
was carried on by the Wing Press and few
manufacturing Deinoc rats, who have exhausted
their strength in the eifnrt to prevent the cir.
cniation of his paper and ultimately 10 break
him down. His course however has been tri-
umphantly sustained by Democratic County
Convention, and by the people generally, and
his enemies have been taught that the Arneri
can laborer has rights and Prvleges which
are not TO be trampled by the wealthy
bob. The time has arrived wien intelligence
has been so dffused among the masses-Lhe
sturdy sons Of Ioil-that they know and ap-
prcciate their rights, and they have the ability
aud the energy to MAKE the ''lordlings of the
loom and of the anyil' understand that they
are determ ned To maintain them, and not stuff
er themselves 10 be crushed down TO level
with the paupers of Europe. We congratulate
our contemporary of the Post on his signal
success, and would recommend his to the
attention Of those who hardy enough to
attempt TO crush the advocate of the rig hts of
the s.ioiiing millioHs.

But for these men,

is the difference. But for these men,
these real heroes,-deserving of all con-
sideration,-which the country has mo-
tive in commencing, for it may be in like
pinch again,-for these men, we repeat,
the Governor has not word, but on the
contrary, casts upon them implied censure
in specially referring, in special message,
10 the Irregular officers" Such man is
worthy to be the midwife of the Banks in
spewing upon the country a reptile cloud
of counterfeit shinplasters, and is dis
grace to any age, nation, or State, in Ell
ther private or public station. After
such an exhibition we begin to believe the
reverse of the Pythagorean doctrine, and
that man, In some cases, retrogades to
the condition of a dog-and cur at that.

A New Law.

Many OF ouT readers will perhaps be aston
ished to learn that a bill creating three new
Judicial Districts, one of which is composed
of the counties of Huntingdon, Blair and
Camoria. has passed both branches of the LIE.
9islatuie, received the sanction of the Cover.
nor, and is no.elI law of the State. The bill
had scarcely got through the Senate, until the
appointments. already "cut and div" in the
hands Of the Governor, were sent f. that BODY Y
for confirmation. This is certainly one of the
neatest plans OF PrOvId ng for lavoriie friends
at the expense of the tax payers o the Com.
nonwea ith, yet devised by our sdreacd Cover
nor, and Wa think his circumstance will 90
tar towards satisfying the people that tAeir
interests meet with lilIle consideration at the
hands of the present Administrative. Had
such a measure this been adopted by dem.
ocratic administration, it would have been
heralded forth by every whg paper in the
State as evidence of 'Locofoco extrava.
gance,'' "urparalleled abuse of powsr," ',hor
rible waste of the peoples money" &c, bu,
when wings permitted To reap che benefi,
OF the sPoiis that are thus placed at the dispo.
sal of the Governor, it Is all perfectly right
and Just.
GEORGE TAYLOR Esq, of Huntington, has
been appointed President Judge of this Dis
trict, (the 24th) He is said to be man of con
siderable ability, and that he W i'll make good
Jud ge.
We have not seen the bill creating the new
District, and therefore know nothing its
provisions. Should any change have been
made, however, in the time of holding the
Courts of this county, readers will be advi-
sed of it at the earliest moment.

LCouutrY Printers.

The following article, which is copied from
the .'RradsoId Reporter" gives such correct
description Of the Difficult lties under which the
editor of a country paper labors that we have
adopted it as our own, and recommend it to
the attention Of our readers Large numbers
of the city papers circulated throughout
this county, and which supported in pref
crence to one published here, merely because
they are furnished much cheaper We do
rot wish toIsay anstLing against the excel
lence Of OUT city contemporaries. and would
eheerfuI!y Icommend them to the support of
onf friends. but 6o think chat every man
ought to feel himself in duty bound to take at
least one paper published in his county
before sending his patronage abroad But to
the articlein question:
mo trade, or profession occupation, per-
forms SO much labor. and expends so great an
amount ofcapital with as little remuneration
as the Country Printer. The interest mani
tested by my Uncle Toby, when he said II pity
the Printer" was not misplaced. These facts
are true, as general rule. There may be DC,
casional instances, where Country Printers
have succeeded in gathering together the vani-
~ which .'takes unto itself wings" but ,hey
arc few and far between. Most generalIg.
they safihr all the inconveniencies whic negli.
gent Patfons T. and unre varded labor bring in
their wake This should not be. There must
be somfthing radically wrong in the case,
which i worthy the serious attention OF the
class ofpersons writing about.
'Onq great obstacle the Country Printer has
TO contfnd against. is the application of ma
chinerI which reduces the cost of the city CO.
Temporary, aud which is not available TO him
lhen, again, how many of the numerous Dol
lar prints which como so directly in conflict
with aim, are but the reprint of matter which
has ready brought large profit in the daily.
NJ ost of our country ders do not understand
this, and wonder why the city pa?er can be
furnished SO much cheaper than in the coun.
try. They arc not aware that the news, Sc.,
been furnished in daily paper. and made up
-"I Iihe week s end into cheap weekly costing
the publisher little or nothing beyond the mere
price OF paper and printing by steam. This is
in great degree, the case with that excellent
paper, the Dollar Newspaper of Phnadclphia,
which, with its $4,000 Subscribers, must be ex
tremely prof able to the publisher. To at
tempt 10 enter into competition with such aG-
vantages would be piece Of folly to a Coun.
try Printer, who is fortunate if he can nn.nber
one thousand subscribers. 1t is evident that
he must depend upon the necessity there is for
the dissem nation Of local papers, and the gen.
erosity and public spirit of the popu alton. ]:
they should expect him TO be governed in his
terms by The example OF the city papers, they
onust expect TO rely on the city alone for their
attenuation. the circulation Of the former,
beng, of necessity, limited to ore county
while the latter have the entiIe State, or the
wlio.e Union."

The LEGISLATURE.

This body to have adjourned the 10Th
inst The whole session has been spent doing
almost literally not hing, if we except the pass
age of few bank bills. The members have
permitted their time TO be occupied by loc2
legislation, in which the people generally hd2
little or no interest. All the important mca,
sures, among which is the appropriation bill,
have been permitted to lie to the last mo-
ment, when, as matter of course, in the bus
tie of adjournment, they must pass both bran.
ches, defective and Ill advised in many of their
features.
The truth is, there is too much local legis-
lation, and this feature in our government calls
loudly for reform The time which should be
devoted 10 the adoption of me asures of public
utility is wasted in long winded and proftless
speeches about matters in which the public can
have no interest, but which are at the same
time heavy Ia upon the people in the expense
incurred in their enac iment. 1t is time that
these abuses should receive the attention of
the people, and that something should be done
TO relieve the Commonwealth from her crippled
condition.
