These Amazons ihen proceeded to the upper cottbn factory, and commenced a similar assault upon the recusants in that quarter. Mr. Moor- I head came out amon; them,, but was rather lr i . roughly treated. After sufficiently expressing their, dissatisfaction they returned, in increased numbers, to BIackstocks., The police were called, and the Mayor and Squire Campbell weiie on theround. The" girls drew ?up" in front of these two, who were standing on the steps, and commenced telling them their no tions of matters and things in general, and of t !. t -Z l( was all in vain for the two to attempt re monstrance. At length the Mayor crossed o vertobe opposite side of the "street and left Mr. Campbell tojace the storm alone for a few min ites. He's nb squire," Screamed one of the girls, and a general shout reiterated the sentiment. ' Give him a "cent," said another, and four or five 6tepped forward to oiler him that. liberal reward for discharging his duties, " Nw, ladies," said Ihe Squire, let me in theiit" whack ! went a handful of mud, miss ing Lis squireship's head by an inch or two.

He brushed it away, and ta king off his hat wiped his face without a word. Thi forbearance appeared to have more effect thai all he could Jiave said,, for, after a few more shouts and cheers, they dispersed. 'Ihe return to work has not- been, by any means, a general one. Perhaps not two in a hundred have gone to work ; and from the al most ferocious determination exhibited by the othcjrs, we are induced to believe that no re conciliation will be effected for some time.

It used to bo considered that diniter setlletidiscontent. In the case of our Factory Girls, however, it Seemed as though thejjMhad hardly swallowed that necessary meal beGre they were ready for a renewal of bos tilities on a still more extensive scale. Their efforts in the morning had not been sufficient to slop work in the factories. The engines stillpHified to their great, dissatisfaction ; and wore than all, the recreants were still employ, ed. I It was not to be borne. The tocsin was again sounded, and the petticoated legions once more advanced this time to complete victory. Tfhe first object of assault was the Union Cotton Factory. After some; struggle they were successful. The doors were thrown o pen; the girls at work came out, joined their comrades, and the works stopped. The Hope was the next point of attack. The garrison appeared, at first sight, disposed to make some defijnee ;. but, oVeraived by superior numbers, thef surrendered at discretion; and the inva der received anpl her addition to their ranks. The new factory owned by Messrs! Gray & Fifcf was the next object' of ven?reanrp- It shared the fatof the other. -..Thy.wero-nbw in full force.

This may be true; lor tlje Kane letter has been blended, in some manner, with the letter to which allusion js made in the fol lowing paragraph, contained in a late let ter from a Washington! correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot, which he ventures to predict will not be denijed : " That Mr. Walker did know of a correspon dence that took place during the Presidential campaign last year between Mr. Polk and Mr. F. O. J. Smith, in relation to the support which Conservatives (such a Messrs. TalhnadgeJ Smith, Graham, Sutherland, &e.) would give Polk and Dallas, and the; course which Mr. Polk would pursue,, if : elected President, to wards thetJonservatives ; that Mr. Tallmadgej and Mr. Walker examinee! and agreed in the i propriety of Mr. Smith's letter to Mr. Polk ;j that the letter was sent under Mr. Tallmadgc's frank; and -Mr. Walker told' Mr. Tallniadge that he would write to Mr.! Polk on the subject, and urge him to comply with :the requirements in Mr, Smith's letter ; that he afterwards in formed Mr. Tallmadge that hp had so written ; t that Ir. Polk replied to Mr. Smith's letter in a manner that gave satisfaction to Mr. Smith and Mr. Tallmadge ; thatjMri Polk kne w that; Mr. Tallmadge was interested in Mr. Smith's letter, and that the letter was! written as much to meet the case of Mr. Tallpiadgo as that of any other man; and yet f notwithstanding the assurances he gave to MrJ Smith, he had hard ly become Mr, President Polk by the efficient aid of the "Conservatives;" before he hurled Messrs. Tallmadge, Sutherland, ajid Graham from office, with an alacrity which would not have been more astounding had he been nledr. ! ed to make them walk the plank rather than to protect tnem. j Now, in addition to what the correspon dent of the Baltimore Patriot says,' your correspondent predicts that the Union will not deny the correctness of the above statement, and challenge Mr. Smith to the publication of Mr. Polk's letter. Mr. Tall madge is now in this city.! A morning paper of yesterdaj', referring to stockgambling in times gone by, says : f The next movement of the Government ,at Washington, calculated to operate on stocks, was the removal of the deposites. Those connected with the! Kitchen Cabi net at Washington having brought Gener al Jackson up to the scratch, immediately sent directions to New York ordering op erations in the stock-market, knowing ve ry well that the removal df the deposites, whenever it should N ordered, would pro duce a great sensation and a great depre ciation in stocks." . On this subject (the removal of the de posites) there is much of secret history, which I propose, with your approbation, to make public.

It is amusing to see how the.-Locofoca papetst,and leaders are pouring out tjipir abuse against McKenzie, for publishing the letters of the most prominent Locofo cos of the State of New York, to Jesse Hoy. -These men are now horror-stricken, and characterize this publication as one of the, most flagrant invasions of pri vate (letters Ivnown, and which blight to be frowned down, and the author consign ed to everlasting contempt. We do not wish; to be understood as justifying any thing of the kind, but refer to the subject more; to show the hypocracy of Locofoco ism, filias democracy, than for any other purpose. If it was wrong in McKenzie, it was iequally wrohgln their publishing the stolen letter of Mr. Clay out of a Whig Office! But did these sticklers for the sanctity of private correspondence, last year; raise their voice against the villain' whoj stole Mr. Clay's letter t Did. they pounce upon the Locofoco paper in New York, who first published it, and charac terize it as an act, deserving the severest punishment ? No 1 'But on the contrary, Locqfoco-like, they toolt advantage of it, published Mr. Clay's letter from Maine to Louisiana ; and justified it as an expo sure jdue" to the people. Though disap proving as we before remarked, of such a course, by any man or party, wc think the party has . got no more than it re ally Reserved. Never has the corruption of ahy parly been more completely laid bare than in this instance. Every letter which we have seen, shows in these men clearly a destitution of moral principle in every respect. Their whole aim, from Margin Van Burex down, seemed to be to make money. The good of the people, (which the democracy make so much noise about.) is entirely thrown in the shade, and self -interest, all in all with them They need not think to turn the tide of public opinion by raising the hue and cry of infamous invasion of private correspondence. No. If it is private, the true jcharacter of Locofoco democracy is so vividly held up to the public eye, lhat the people will hardly fail to mete out to the men exposed, that reward which they so richly merit. In. relation to this correspondence and kindred subjects, James Gorden Bennett, Editor of the New York Herald, a man destitute of any thing like character, and who 1 figures conspicuously in it himself, has the following: "The whole Administration of Mr. Van Bu ren was merely a patch. work sort of an affair, consisting of efforts made by speculators on all sides to men! heir fortunes, and get out of dif. ficulty. Biinhey did not all succeed. Many, indeed, retired with immense fortunes others were; completely and irretrievably ruined. , Mr. Van Buren himself, it is generally believed, re tired jwith nearly half a million, and now leads a country life, enjoying the otium cum dignitale, or this dolce fcrnicnti at Lindenwald and Kin. derhook, formerly the residence of Judge Van Ness whose private letters about thirty or forty years ago wero published surreptitiously by some one, as Van Buren's have been at this day. j Vet it is very well known that, when Mr. Van Buren became Secretary of State, he had to borrow, with the endorsement of Churchill C. (ambreling, a sum of $4000, in order to pay 4ome debts ,he owed while Governor of N. York. Had I known that five or ten dollars was bf so much importance to him, as to have been made the subject of urgent letters to Jes se Hoyt, I need hardly say that I never would have thought of asking the loan of $2500 from him, lor any of his friends, in the year 1833." Cprrecion-One of our Public Officers, says Jhe Raleigh Register of the 10th inst, in ma king a rough estimate of tho amount of Reve-, nue receivable this year by the State, express, ed to us the opinion, that thee would be a de ficieficy of some five thousand dollars. On a more careful examination, however, of the sub jectihe, informs us that he was in error, and that there will be an excess of Revenue over the last year, instead of a deficiency, of 4,126 98. We are happy to make the correction. 07" Mr. Jacob Phillips, of Rutherford coun ty, Was murdered on Monday the 6th instant. He tad started in the morning to Spartanburg, S.

Gazette, charging the Whig party with crimes both of the present and future times, exclaims in true Locofoco style, " Where are the Federal ists V j The Enquirer, a Whig paper pub lished! at the same place, answersthe que ry in! the most satisfactory, manner. It says : . ' . ? - i 44 Henry Hubbard, now resides in Charles, town, in the regioTT where he got up a meeting to sustain the Hartford Convention ; Samuel Cushmau is now at Portsmouth holding an ap pointment under the present Administration ; Cyrus Bartoujhas lately been appointed by Pre. sident Polk, Marshal for the District of New Hampshire; James Buchanan is novvas Sec. retary of State, assisting President Polk in the settlement of the Oregon question with Eng land ; George Bancroft is his Secretary of War ; Louis NcLane has been sent as Minis, ter td England ; A. H. Everett to China ; Ro ger B. Taney is Chief Justice of the Supreme Court ; Charles Lane is now Editor of the Belk nap Gazette, and moreover Senator for that strong Loco District, No. 6 ; Robert P. Dunlap, formerly called Toung Tim, Pickering for his excessive rederal zcaT, is now a Loco Re presentative from Maine." This reply, says the N. O. Bee, is just and well jimed. If there be any thing in Locofocoism very particularly sickening, it is the canting epithets which it employs of Federalism and Democracy. Here is a list of the jnost prominent and able members of the Federal party, at a period when that party had local habitation and a name,' who fare now conspicuous for their devotion to the faction which mod estly arrogates to itself the title of The emocacy,, but to which, neither in the character and principles of its supporters, nor in the doctrines which it practically enforces, has it a solitary title. It is in deed remarkable that nineteen-twentieths of the surviving members of the Fed eral paty are now closely affiliated arid leagued in fraternal union with Locofoco ism. We can explain the connection only in one of two ways. Either the Federal ists, having been so long destitute of influ ence arid patronage, are willing to accom modate! their opinions to those of the rul ing powers for the sake of the spoils, or, what seems more probable, modern De mocracy and ancient Federalism exhibit a homogeneity of nature, which irresistibly attracts tne scattered remnant 01 tnat par- ty which in days gone by sustained the Alien and Sedition Law, wore the black cockade, and contended that it was unbe - coming a moral and religious people to re joice at; the victories gained over their en emies, j Bishop Onderdonk's Salary.- The -New York Express says: "From the proceedings and votes of the Episcopal Convention, it has been found difficult for persons who were not members, to ascertain whether or not Bishop Onderdonk is to be continued his salary.
