Correspondence OF Inc N 4. InUuns
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Saturday, Nov. /, 1851.
The result of the late. election In this
State has pretty ponedly proven the truth of the old
saying "that it never rains but it pours" From the
Lake 70 the OHIO, Democracy called has uiumphed
and the State Government in all its branches is now
in It's hands.
We had hoped that Andrews and Storer, who were
on both the Wing and Free Soil Tickets for Su-
preme Court, were elected, but full returns show
them beaten by over five thousand.
The "SllVof GrayS" III some parts OF the State
scratched Andrews on account OF his Anti Slavery
views In Ross County he lost about FIVE hundred
votes for this reason.
Ii is useless 10 speculate upon the causes OF this
defeat, except so far as the same may convey use
full lesson to the Wing party In this and other States
but the fun returns Will, am very confident show
that We have not been beaten by our enemies but by
ourselves.
see thai some OF your city papers, as also some
IN Massachusetts Who support Mr.. Webster for the
Presidency. are making studied effort TO prove that
the recommendation OF Gen. Scott by the last State
Convention, has been the prime cause OF tins defeat
Now with all due Difference TO their superior means
for knowing exactly what issues made,
take the liberty of saying that they are entirely
mistaken III their assertion The name OF Scott
or Fillmore or Webster, was rarely IL ever men
toned in connection with the canvass so far as
then saw, or have since heard and the questlon.of
the next Presidency had no more to DO with The re-
suit than the question Of who struck Billy Pater
Tecumseh!"
One thing, however, is quite certain, and that's,
that Scott ID the FIRST cboice of the Wings OF tins
State, not only because we conceive hun .quahed
for the office, but because We know that upon his
nomination (aS between him, Fillmore and Web
sicr) rests our only hope Of carrying ONO.
BY a late enumeration OF the population oil our
CITY, We are found TO have 81 40, being increase
OF 4 IO6 in fifteen months, about twenty-f per
cent At this rate we shall SOON II we have not al
ready, leave Columbus and Dayton far behind
Cleveland is bound to be the second city In ONO
and must have population of over $4,000 within the
next decade. Had the vote for the annexation OF
Ohio City, lying on the west side OF the Cuyanoga
carried our population would nov have been over
u 600
An effort was made last winter by few OF our
citizens on behalf OF the four hundred sewing wo-
men OF Clev Gland and Ohio City many of whom it APP
peared were compelled 10 labor from fourteen to
sixteen hours per day TO PROVIDE the pialnest heceS
sares OF lite.
store was started under the name OF the "Fe-
male Cooperative Union Clothing Store" the prohts
OF which, beyond its expenses, were for the beneht
of the laborers. 1t commenced about the lst Of
May, and from the Report OF the Managers, oil Oct
27th, take the following results
FIRST, 1t has gwen employment, more or less con-
slant, TO about fifty sewing women
Second 1t has III all instances paid cash for the
work performed except small amount left IN the
store as capital stock.
Third, 1t has III most instances PAID better prices
for the work done, than Is commonly PAD by the
other shops.
Fourth, 1t has given employment to many who we
know without II, would in all probability have SUI
fered for the necesSares of life.
FVth, 1t has paid It's expenses from Its pronts
The greatest difficulty We have thus far had to en-
counter has been the want OF capital is one OF
the fixed rules Of the store never TO buy on credit.
Had cur stock been larger our sales would have
been greater and, consequently, more sewing NO
men would have been employed Wetheretore earn
estly solicit from the friends OF the cause an increase
OF our capital by loan or donation, tina! thus we may
increase our business and the number OF those en-
ployed.
see no reason why such establishments may not
succeed in all our large cities, and prove emnently
beneficial to the poor sewing women All that IS
needed is that the benevolent shall look at the matter
in It's true light and give 10 1t their sympathy and
support Aid in such cause is true charity and the
highest development OF Christianity BUCKEYE.
