state convention OF the mechanics and
working men of New York, was recently held at
Utica, with view of adopting measures to coun-
teract the injurious effect Of employing the con-
victs in the state prisons at mechanical branch
es A long address on the subject was read
and approved, and the annexed resolutions
adopted
ResOlred, That the system pursued at present
in our prisons is an infringement of the rights,
and an insult to the feelings, of the mechanics
of our state; that their rights are trampled on,
and their character degraded by competition
with this Infamous monopoly of convicts and
malefactors.
Resolped, That this system Of oppression is
of such Il nature as ought not quietly to be
borne by any set Of people worthy the name Of
freemen.
Resolred That the object of all just govern
ment and righteous laws should be the protection
of the virtuousin their lawlul occupations andIto
punish and endeavor to reform, the vices Of the
guilty.
Resolved, That the present prison system
operates as punishment 10 the virtuous, as
premium for crime, and a reward to the guilty.
Resolved, That we recommend to all our bro
Their mechanics of every trade, that, at the COM
ing and all future elections of members Of the
Legislature, they vote LOT anu support those
only who will oppose this monopoly that to such
we will give our whole influence, and that we
will use all honorable means to promote their
election.
Resolred That the mechanics in every city,
town. village and hamlet, in our state be request
ed TO form themselves into associations in sup
port of the above views, and in opposition to the
present prison system.
Resolred, That We will pursue this subject
with unabated zeal, and untiring perseverance,
till Justice be accorded to our claims: and we re-
commend that a Convention be annually ap-
pointed to meet at Utica, on the Sd Wednesday
of August in each year, until we obtain redress;
the delegates to be chosen from every county in
the state, in ratio of triple the number OF men,
bers to the Assembly OF the State.

FOLLY.
There is folly in all the world,
Or go we cast or west,
A folly that vexes the old,
And keeps the young from rest.
The miser has folly enough,
For his soul is in sordid bags;
And the spendthrift's folly, alas!
Brings him to sin ano rags.
There is folly in statements schemes,
For spite of their plotting and wit,
There's wiser hand above
That leads them with bride and bit.
There's folly in power and pride,
That makes full many to fall;
There's folly in maiden's love,
Rut that is the sweetest OF all.
But Of all the follies, the worst
; For it stings with constant smart,
The scorpion Of the mind
Is that of thankless heart.
For the thankless heart is cursed,
And with blessings encompass'd grieves-
For il cannot rejoice with the hand
That gives nor yetrecelves.
To be Thankful makes better the good:
And if heaven should send us Ill,
There is kindness in him that gives
SO let us be thankful still.
Olet MS be thankful nyouth,
And let us be thankful in age
And let us be thankful through life,
For there's pleasure in every stage.
Youth has its own SweetJoys,
And he must be blind as bat,
Who cannot see loves sweet smile,
And will not be thankful for that
There are friends the dearest to cheer,
Ere half our sand is run
And affection makes wlntry days
As bright as the summers sun.
And when from the dearest on earth
We part let us hope tits given
And boon 10 be thank'd for still
To meet them again in heaven.
