%Iss 1t has been reported, with much zeal, that
the sole object of the Mechanics and Working
Men, in selecting candidates from their own
ranks, to represent the Fourth Ward iii the Com
mon Council, was to have the Canal operations
''entirely suspended" The object ofthis commu-
nication is to correct this unfounded statement
by giving to the public the real object Of the
movement; which is, simply, to elevate that most
numerous and useful class Of citizens to that
standing and influence in the community, which
their professions and interests demand.
