Children In Factories.
It ia irnposailrte (lint an intelligent cummunlt
«iiti learn, without disgust and iutlignaliun, thu
«ur numerous and extensi.e factories are work
cd almost wholly'by children—little creatures,
who, by the charter of nature, are entitled to an]
exemption from labor and care, and whose pro
jier place would he their native hills, as free am
joyous as the winds which played around them
Thousands on thousands of these little slaves arc
driven, by sun-rise, with pale and saddened fa
ces, and feeble and reluctant limbs, to their toil—
from which, with a slight interval «t nooa, nigh
alone releases them. Day succeeds day, with
the same heavy task,and the same heavy heart t<
perform it. Wearied, heart sick, spiritless—with-]
out a joy to enliven the future—destitute, friend
Uss, forsaken— sinking beneath the unequal bur
den of toil* poverty, and oppression—they real
iae all the ills of age, without the firmnews by
which age is enabled to endure them. Tht tltil
dren.of freemen, they air. made lie** st *n ag<
when the children of slaves are free !
lleneath the sufferings of a factory life, man
hood itself often faints. But the heart sitkenr
to think that little innocents, frrsh and tender
from the bosom of malrrnal affection, who live
f,ut in the joyous freedom from restraint, and

hom. under the simple institutions of our fa jdstrong ressons why the change from the preseu
thers, no fate could depress, no poverty sadden,
should he cooped up, by thousands, in a diseased
atmosphere, to toil and tremble beneath ihe whip]
of lire overseer, until, blighted by sufferings and
oppression, they sink into the grave.
An intelligent writer speaks of children very]
Justly, when he remarks, that, “to t due framing
of the nrind, it is requisite that the child shoold
grow op in a certain csrelessuees of spirit. The]
natural nobility of a child requires, for the full
dcvelopcment of the mental aa well aa physical
powers, to have complete play- Ta train his in
fant limbs to constnnt action is requisite. Watch]
a child, and see how unceasing is the motion re-l
quisite to keep him in s ststo af eostfort: con
fine him for a moment, and.he ts uncomfortable t
unhappy. In thaearlydays of hisinfancy, unable]
to move himself sufficiently, the nurse keeps him
In a constant motion; having acquired strength,
he swings about his arms, kicks with his lit tie]
legs, and throws himself into every possible!
contortion. The boy runs, leaps, and keeps]
himself in incessant turmoil. It is not requisite
to explain these facts—to state why this «no
tion is needed; saffice it, that it is needed.—]
But the action af a child is never eponianenualy:
a continued action of one sort. Put him to turn
a wheel, and you ruin hia health and atop Irir
growth.” Is there a bosom to indurated by ava
rice, as to contemplate the horrors of confine
ment, monotony, and toil, to auch a nature, with
out pity and indignation ? For the honor of hu
inanity, we hope there is not.
In defence of a system, worse, in all its features.'
than the slave trade, it is alleged that the poverty
of the children makes this labor a relief; er in
other words, that when misfortune falls upon th
weak and innocent, the way for a Christian end
philanthropist to relieve them is, to seine on and
enslave them, to drive them to toil, which combi
ned with the other hardships of their aitnation
murders them by hundreds ; and for this, (geoer
ous benefactors) they give them clothes to cover
their nakedness, and food to preserve their live
and protect their misery. The argument may]
convince them, but does not satisfy ns. There!
most he something wrong when there is so much'
suffering and oppression in a free and civilieedi
country. Society owes to these hapless inno
sects, subsistence ind protection ; and boastful o
its affluence, is well prepared to discharge the
debt. If, therefore, charity, which, in these days
is too prone to wander to foreign and ideal objects
should be deaf to the groans of the sufferer, and
dead to the call of humanity....duty, the ordinary
duly, which all civilized communities acknowledge
to the wretched, should compel them to rescue th
innucent victim from the whip of his task master.
It is however, a humiliating, but undoubted fact
that, to produce a public benefit, society must bi
convinced, not that it is its duty, but its interest
to effect a change. It is the interest of the North
that swells tho Tariff to oppression—it is the in
tcrcstof ihe South that urges Nullification into
rashness. Were the voice of duty listened to by
sillier, the patriot would not weep over the ap
proaching dissolution of the Union.
In the same spirit, we should, perhaps, con
vince the community that the benefits which ac
crue to society, by enslaving and oppressing
thousands of her children, are more than runnier
balanced by its disadvantages. The task is not a
difficult one....The extension of ignorance, ser
vtlity and crime, is too great, not vitally to effect
the common weal. Our factories are now thi
schools in which the tender and pliant nature o:
youth goes thrrsugh a probation which prepares
both heart and hand lor the blackest and boldest
deeds of crime and infamy. Turned into promts
cious assemblage of hoys anil girls, with no pater
nalcare to restrain, to teach the loveliness of vir
tue and the loathsomeness of vice, to direct th
ignorance, and sustain their feebleness, w ho can
doubt the result? They fall, as human nature]
unguarded, ever will fall, into every vice which
unbridled passions, evil habits, and dangerous as
sociates, can prompt. Every temptation to evil]
surroiinilsthem, and no voice to warn, no hand to
restrain; and it can be no matter of astonishment
that they become at an early age, when their bn
soms should be unshadowed by a single fault, as]
old in vice as they are in years. Falsehood, dishon
esty, incontinence, blasphemy, and a total disre-j
gard to the decencies of virtue, are engrafted upon
their youthful natures....until humanity shudder;
st their early depravity, and trembles for the com
niunity which contains them. At a more advan
ccd age, the factory rejects them, and they arr
thrown into the bosom of society, fitted, both sex-j
es, for any thing which passion, interest, or iniq
ly, should suggest. Ignorant to the lowest do ]
gree, besotted in habits of vice, eervile from long
slavery, they are unprepared for any participation
in tho duties and privileges of a citizen. Withou
resource, save in their boldness and iniquity, they
naturally turn to crime, and sink into habits which]
fill our alms houses and penitentiaries. Such are
the schools in which America is anxious lo form
her children.
Whether we consult the dictates of humanity
the interests of society, the character of our people
or the preservation of our institutions, we are' ad
fnnnished to prostrate this union of the poor and]
prison house. Where infancy and innocence air
punished, whefe thousands of those who will here
after constitute the fireemcn nf the land, are en
slaved and tortured—while they are oppressed,!

A Projet.—It may he within the recollection
of the reader, that on the Gth inst. we published
an article from the Charleston papers, containing!
nil extract of a letter from Mr. Liltell of Philadel
phia, to Oen. Haync. under date of the 28d Oc
tuber. It seems that Mr. L., who is a stroug ad
rocate of Free Trade, repaired to Washington ■
soon as the President had returned from his jour
ney. to ascertain from himself and the Secretary
of the Treasury, whether there was in reality a
hope for redress of the grievances which are mor e'
strongly resen'ed by the people of the South, but
which press with equal weight upon us.” Mr. 1,
says, he found the President " fully with the South
upon the general principle, and ready anil willing
to carry it into rffect with as little delay aa n pro
dent cuution against precipitate changes will ad
mil." Mr. I„ adds; To tjre Becretaiy of the
Treasury, (shewed the project of usincere patriot
for the permanent aetilemcnt of this question, up
on a basis which I think ought to be satisfactory

lied, and the speaker announcing (he committee
pja considerable and varied discussion arose betweei
gplessra. Hatcher, Turner, Glascock, Young, Bates
Haynes Al Williamson. It was contended in sup
port of the motion, that every member bad a righ
to have a committee appointed for any bill hi
.might think proper to propose. If he proposet
in improper one, it was a matter between bin
and his constituents. But whether it was o
not an improper bill, could only be known wbei
t was presented.^ If a bill might be gone in
a when i committee was moved for, it would
nvolvc the House in endless discussion. A bill 1
vhen presented by the committee might bcffii
less exceptionable than It would serni by the!® 1
vice. That it would be premature to deter-s
mine on a measure at this stage. That the rules!
re imperative that a committeo shall be appoint j
d, &.c. It was answered, that a member can-]
not have the right of forcing any subject hi
nny choose, however indelicate, impertinent or of-
ensive upon the House. That the house has the
iglit to protect iftelf, appears from the fact, tliat
the bill must be brought in by lea re; which would
be senseless and nugatory if a committeo must of
course be appointed whenever applied for.
The Speaker said that in ordinary cases, tint*
when not objected to, the chair appoints commit
tees as a matter of course; but that the house can
at any time refuse to allow it.

Since the commencement of the drawing of th»

ire not legally entitled to tho prizes thus drawn; but!
hat it haw occurred from the mistake of the persons

of those who have prepared aud superintended tlie Lot-}

tors should he liable to the imputation of fraud, htn
pressed tlieir willingness to relinquish nil claim to tlie!

the relinquishment, or the mode of disposing of aaidj
