MEssRs. EDIroRs,-In the Eeis of The 10Th
inst, find the following statesent,-s.Tbs, TO-
my Durnap the Representative elect from Sutton. ia
not COalltlonist, but regular old line Democrat
aud that the Democrats of Sutton vii, have ro,h;nr
10 20 win the Free Sellers in politics." Now. srs
ASK 'eaSe TO say, through yoar paper. that the
ABOVE statements are entirely false.
The Free Soil Committee, not willing to lend
their votes in electing man who was onnosed ~
;, men measures ascertamed from Mr.. Burnaps own
ups MS position in regard to the election pending.
MS answer TO their inquiries was .his:-" see no
oeher way but for the Democrats and Free Sellers IN
Unite" Thus, his own language proves, beyopd
doubt, that he is Coalitionst, and not Hnuker
Democrat.
As 1t regards the Democrats having political deal
ings with the Free Soilers we refer TO the result Of
tne eecuons Tor several years past, in Sutton, and
from mat gather the inference, whether Democrats
ever have anything to do with Free Soi'ers or moi,
Neither party, in town, can alone elect Representa-
hve' without the aid of another party. In Is49.
each oil the three parties maintained its resnective
candidates. and the result told plainly that there
must be union of two of the parties, in order that
the town should be represented. In 1850, an cleo
ton was not effected, until the Democrats and Free
ooiers united. In the election this fall, there was
no union upon the first day. and the result was. no
cho'ce' The leading Democrats expressed desire
that the Free Soiers should aid in securing the rem
resentaon of the town. and after the opinions of the
candidate we're ascertaned, enough OF the Free Soil
party voted with the Democrats to secure choice.
and the result is, that Coaltionist is elected TO
represent old Sutton in the Legislature the coming
winter We will further state, that there will be
Free Soilers and Free Democrats enough, for long
time to come, to elect Representatives to the Legis
ature in defiance of all the hunkers of both the old
parties that can be raised against them
Yours, for the truth, MOSES S. JOHNSON.

LANCER OF FACTORIES BY FIRE-On
wednesday evening last week, an extensive Cot
ton factory on Nixon and Hamilton streets. near
Paramount, Philadelphia, was DESTROYED by fire.
The hands were at work in the upper stories
when the fire broke out below, and several lives
were lost-mostly females. Six bodies are re-
ported TO have been already lound-so charred
that they cannot be recognized. One nan
jumped from the fourth story window and was
killed. The loss is nbout $40 900, partly coy
cred by insurance.
This great loss oflife was owing no doubt to
the bad arrangement Of the stairs, which led from
one story to another. We have known of quite a
number OF such accidents from the reprehensible
arrangement of the outlets from the different flats
IN factories. There should always be an outside
tight OF stone or iron stairs at each end of large
factory, from top to bottom. None but one flight
may be used daily, but for emergencies of fire,
twoshould be built when the, factory is put up The
poor beings who persisted amid the flames in this
factory, we've cut off by the flames below from
hndIng their way out. Insulated stairs walled IN
from the rooms would allow free exit in all cases
OF hre. The great majority of our stairs in cot
ton factories are made of wood and not walled up
between the cardIng, spinning or weaving rooms
In the course Of live minutes if fire broke out
III the lower Hat, the stairs would be burned
down, and all escape from the upper stories cut
Oft. This, by all accounts appears to have been
the case with the factory in Philadelphia. About
Il years ago, a similar scene was enacted at
tombstone, Scotland Two years ago, a like one
IN factory near Manchester, England We
should have factory inspectors, as we'll as boiler
inspectors, for we know some factories, from top
! 10 bottom, are no better than match boxes We
hope the above will be thoroughly investigated

. JOHN b. GoUGH.-We learn with much sur

that the John Cough whose conviction before the

The similarity Of name might give rise to such an

uninhueuced by malevoIent motives, would give cur

certain of the fact. 1t can hardly be necessary for
