From the Philadelphia U. s. Gazette Feb. 10
In several large establishments in
this city, a part or the whole of the
workmen were dismissed on Saturday
last, IN consequence of the pressure OF
the times. Yet we see, in the Govern.
ment presses, such movements sheer.
ed at, as if made for party purposes.
Now, Is II probable that men carving
on large business will derange the
whole concern, stop the current of sup
plies, absent themselves from their
usual market, suffer the loss of inter.
est on their materials, and profit on the
manufacture, merely to subserve par.
ty purposesl This is not the charac.
ter OF business men; it is not thus that
the manufacturers and mechanics of
Philadelphia have made their money
and acquire their fame.
Let those who affect to believe that
the pressure has had, and will have, no
effect on the mechanical interests of
the city, look abroad for the usual evil
dences of building. They are not to
be seen. A few buildings, very few
indeed, will be erected in compliance
with last years contract; but the usual
activity among our carpenters, masons
plasterers, &c. will not be seen by o.
theirs, nor felt by themselves.
