waiting some change in the existing policy of the
Government which would enable them TO resume
operations without the certainty Of loss. These
events much 10 be lamented, hundreds of
industrious operatives and their families, depend
ent ON these establishments, thus deprived of
employment, and thrown upon the charity Of the
world for their daily support.
No man, not familiar with the operations of a
rollingmill can form adequate idea of the
am cunt of material and labor required to carry it
on; and the stoppage of such an establishment ia
serious calamity and public loss. We understand
that the Armory Rolling Mill worked up annually
1000 tons of pig iron, and consumed about 200 900
bushels Of coal. Estimate the number Of hands
quired in the production of this iron and coal-the
number necessary TO transport 1t to market-the
number needed to manufacture the iron and the
agricultural labor required to feed the various ope
ratives, and some idea may be formed of the ad-
vantagcs resulting TO the community from iron
manufactures Can any candid man, whether
Wing or Democrat, with all these facts before him,
say in his heart that the iron interest of the coun
try requires no aid from Congress- to protect il from
the systematic efforts Of British capitalists to break
il down; and is not that very unwiac and mis-
taken policy in our Government which can calmly
submit TO such calamitous results?'

l640 TO believe in General HARRIsoN, notwith-
standing he had planted himself and was known
10 stand ON the strongest Anti abolition plat
form. He was committed TO the teeth, and
when he was at that time charged by the
Washington Globe with being an AboIitonist,
the WHIG newspapers Of the North We're in the
habit OF appealing TO the record in proof of the
ialsehood of the allegation. Surely at that
time the abolition of slavery in the District Of
Columbia was no VINO principle-the enter
ialnment and agitation OF Abolition measures
and movements were not countenanced or pa
ironlzed by the WmGs-or they were the
greatest hypocrites and charlatans that ever
figured on a political stage when they cast their
votes and raised their hurrahs for General HAIR
RIsoN.
Now, when gentlemen undertake TO talk of
the 'tine-honored principles" of the VINO
party, we trust we shall not be considered as
dealing in obsolete ideas if we 90 back only ten
years of time, and show the embodiment of
WING doctrine at that day in a Presidential
candidate. We are aware that the Abolition
lists and anti-slavery men are good deal faster
than they We're at that time. 1t was some
years later, and but recently, that they have
ventured to declare themselves, in their public
resolutions and reports, ''the enemies Of the
Constitution, Union. and Government Of the
United States, as some five or SIX thousand
! young men and women claimed to be in the anti
| Slavery Tabernacle at Berlin, Ohio, at mass
convention. At that time we had not seen Gas
we have Of late) men publicly conspiring to de-
wise ways and means TO overthrow the Union
Of the States, on the ground that such over
throw would weaken and extirpate slavery.
True enough it is that the Aboltionists in 1850
are more dangerous and more numerous than
| they were in lS4O--and that politicians may
| think 1t more Of an object to intrigue for
their votes; and therefore it is that this anti
slavery and Abolition slip is to be grated
on the tree of WIG doctrine; but we cannot
blame HARRISON Wings for not stultfying
themselves by adopting and endorsing as
''time honored" Wing principles the Abolition
principles which HARRISON himself had always
repudiated The peace and harmony of the
Union are seriously threatened from two differ
ent quarters-from the Abolition enemies of the
| "COnstitutlon, Union and Government" in one
section, and its pro-savery enemies in an
other Both are seeking the destruction of the
republic; and we cannot but honor Mr.. DUER,
Mr.. GRANGER and their associates, for their
determination to abide by the platform on which
they stood with HARRISON and the WINGS of
the Union in 1910, and on which only we may
all stand together at the present day.

Encouraging News from Texas.

A Geographic despatch from New Orleans,
dated 9TH instant, informs us that Colonel
WALTON, the special messenger despatched up
of New Orleans, upon the telegraphic order of
the Government, to communicate to the author-
ties of Texas the passage OF the Boundary bill
has returned TO that city.
Colonel WALTON reports that, Immediately
upon the arrival of MIR. LEWIS, the bearer of
official information that the Boundary bill had
passed, Governor BELL would issue his proc
amaton submitting to the popular vote the
proposition of the Government involved in the
Texan Boundary bill We are much gratified
that Governor BELL sees nothing so disrespect-
full to the citizens of Texas as to preclude him
from submitting the proposition to them. We
were satisfied that the difficulty between the
executive and Legislative departments of the
government OF Texas was mere abstract
question of comparative authority that it was
"A mere collision of dignity, and that the veto OF
Governor BELL was based upon no objection to
the proposition involved in the Boundary bill OF
this we were satisfied by comparison of that
bill with the previously -expressed opinion Of
the Governor himself. We Were, moreover,
satisfied that the popular branch of the Legis-
lature would be in favor of a proposition cor
responding with that recommended to their ac-
ceptance in the opening message of Governor
BELL. This, we think, is quite apparent from
the journals Of that body. We shall hear, nc
doubt, of violent opposition to the Boundary
bill; but in the end, we think the people OF
Texas will assent TO its provisions, because
they are founded in a sense of Justice and
a desire of harmony. The action of Texas
will be regarded with great anxiety by other
States of the South; but if she is content
with the protection of her interests, afforded
by the Boundary bill. we presume no other
State will have any right to take offence. OF
resent her acquiescence.

The MAYOR or PIrTsBuRo.-Thc people Of Pitts
burg, Mt their last municipal election in sportive
freak, took il into their heads TO elect for Mayor
crack Drained street itinerary. This parsonage
according TO what we CLEAN from the Pittsburg pa
pcrs, seems to have about the same understanding
OF his functions ne Robin Roughhead had Of his
when, becoming lord, he prohibited apple dump.
lings, and allowed nothing to be eaten but beef.
steak and onions. Mayor Barker has prescribed
all sorts OF municipal regulations and arrested va
rious grades of judicial dgntaries and police Off
Gers, and has made il necessary times that he in
his turn should be arrested by some Of them. His
latest outrage was tho arrest and imprisonment OF
committee of the select councils Of PittsburR
Subsequently, however, Judge Mcclure went to
the prison, and J. J. Kuhn esq, city solicitor, APP
peared ON the part Of the committee and its clerk,
and John Mellon, esq, for the commonwealth; when
all the gentlemen who had been committed were
discharged on giving bail in the sum of ono thou
sand dollars for their appearance. Suits il is said
will at once be entered against the mayor The
people Of Pttsburg appear to be growing restive
under this state of things.

that it is his intention to issue in few days an

gard to the Compromise bills which he assumed
after their passage in the House of Representa-

may be, his views and feelings are national, and
his talents must command for him great infu-

WAsHINGToN, Oct. 2, 1850.
GENTLEMEN: have just received the letter you
have done me the honor to transmit to me, express
i've of your deep regret account of the dissolu-
ton of my connection with you as Recorder of the
General Land Office BE assured, gentlemen, that
| reciprocate the feeling, as our intercourse has
ever been TO me a source of unaloyed satisfaction.
Ii is not in my recollection that there has
Cured single incident to disturb the friendly
harmony Of our relations, or to create the least I'M
kind feeling, during the time have been Off
cialiy associated. have ever found you Z" honest,
faithful, and capable" and promptly ready to
second any and every effort to expedite the bust
ness committed to our charge, and to perform il in
manner creditable to the office and TO ourselves.
The rejection of my nomination recorder
indeed unexpected and my friends
had been assured from time to time, during the
late protracted session, by Senators Of both polit
cal parties that opposition made to me-
and that would it was presumed, be unanimously
confirmed. Without referring more particularly
to the to which my rejection is attributable,
take the occasion TO say that 1t affords me much
consolation to be assured that it was brought
about by misrepresentation and that had it been
known at the moment the vote was taken that the
imputations cast upon me were groundess, as it
was in a very short time after, the result would
have been different.
For the friendly interest manifested on the occa-
sion by both Wing and Democratic Senators and
members Of the House of Representatives, and for
the kind expressions which have fallen from your
selves, from the press, and from friends every
where, feel profoundly grateful, and shall proudly
cherish their remembrance to the latest day of my
life.
Please accept my earnest wishes for your indi-
vldual happiness, and believe me,
Your sincere and grateful friend and obt serv't,
n. SARGENT.
