TurTrN HouR LAw.-The bill which passed
,he House Of Representatives limiting the hours Of
gabor !, This Commonwealth to ten hours day, was
s,ranpIed in the Senate. The members Of that au-
pnst body refused accept the House bill, and sub
sttuled therefor mere resolve, defining len hours
as legal days work, in the absence of any special
agreement
The House, The las, day OF the session, refused
10 with the Senate in this act which was
nothing more than mockery Of The working classes,
aud Of course there was no ten hour law passed
This is another Illustration of the way in which the
Wings have consumed time, and insuIled the intel
lgence aud Knocked The wants ofthe community,
during this remarkable session Of the legislature
Petitions presented to them b. the l.aboring
classes, asking them 10 abrldge, by Legislative en-
actment, the excessive hours Of toll. 1t was shown
that in of The factories of this Commonw ealth
young labor thirteen and fourteen hours
day; and that in many workshops, men are engaged
for the same length Of time, in the most laborious
empoyments. They were told that those persons
had no time tog mental improvement; and that So
cial intercourse, which is as necessary moral
health food is to the body was almost totally de-
MED them. Yet those grave and eminent person.
ages preferred reject the ten hour bill. They
could afford to vote So 600 for monument Ia an
eminent Wing lawyer; but they could not be Undue
ed to nterpose between the laburer and that excrss
oftoil which almost totally ahsorbs all his faculties
and all his tme and deprives him Of The opporuni-
ty TO improve his mind, and al the same time to cul
tivate the minds Of his children. or the APO acts
passed by this famous Wing Legislature, there is
not one that the people to remembers except it
be those which were destructive Of liberty or the
one hundred resolves which they voted, only one
entitled to the communication of all good cti-
zens, and that was the final resolve to adjnurp The
ten hour law measure clearly required by the
people; but as the Wings intent upon
measures Of mere partIzanshp than of broad, prac-
teal utility, they did pass it, aud closed the bar.

been permitted to occupy in the House OF Rep
resentaives of Massachusetts have coaesced to de-
feat proposition made in that body to appropriate
few thousand dollars for the purpose of erecting
monument to the memory of Daniel WebsteT-N
Y Express.
Where was the Wing majority in the Legislature
when this cualition was permitted 10 defeat the
monumcn, scheme? The Wings repealed the Sc
cret ballot law, although the Democrats and Free
Soiers struggled with all their might to prevent
them. There were some Wings, however, who were
ashamed Of The proposition 10 build this proposed
monument, and who did not vote for it. The Ex.
press should not allow its feelings to hurry it INTO
the preparation Of faIsehood.
