DEAR JOE—Though I don't know you personally, yet I'm
sure you won't take offence at my calling you so, because you've
always said you was the poor man's friend, and I like to be fa•
miliar with my friends. Poor indeed I am, or else
have met you at the dinner at the Crown and Anchor on Thurs•
day, but plague on't, these cursed standings out, won't leave
one a few spare shillings to enjoy such 4.31'"c'14.-.:
Howsomtlevcr, they gain great points, and I dare say we al"'
soon be able to do without 'eat. You can't think how glad we
all were at the Club, to find by your speech, that things are
going on so well at Liverpool and on the Tyne and Wear, and
so
and that the sawyers and their masters at Liverpool are
comfortable, and in such harmony and good understionling.
Blessings on such masters they must be good fellows, and
understand the rights of man, for my mate, Tom Broad Axe,
that's just come from there, says that's the place, for every plan
there can do just as lie pleases, and neither Ship.owner, nor
builder, can say nay to him ! thanks to " bless
him, be shall come in at the next election. But the object tit
my writing is to ask you if you'll just interfere with the 310'
builders here to get us a little of the same harmony as they
have at Liverpool ; for confound 'eni; though the Combu.thnt
Laws are done away, they grumble about our cumbiniped,ltls
as if it was illegal ; and they say, because we're APPint a
secretary with 300/. a year, and united with all the ostpo.rts to
support our rights, and keep a committee constantly situ g
regulate matters a little, that oar proceedings are danger°
And instead of living on terms of friendship with P S Yo,bur,
say they do at Liverpool, they tell us we are earning* too

because we can afford to collect a few hundreds maintain
expences of committees, and secretaries and travelling gen;

all this might easily be avoided ; and if you would hut lire;

the settlement of affairs to us, we should all go on comfbrta,,,o,
