comes the right md the duly of every honest man,
sn1 especially of those concerned, 10 expose the

AMI the same thing in his mind. He asserts in the
first place that the Journeymen Cabinet Makers in
this city, in attempting TO correct the false impress
slons his advertisements are intended to produce,
" are mere tools OF the Employers, and acting on
their jns9aton.' We will put Mr.. Trcdwell
right in this ira,tcr-The Journeymen Cabinet Ma

employers. We act for ourselves and not tor others
Undoubtedly Mr.. rs mode Of business is obnox-
ous 10 the employers, but the weight of the injury
falls us--and it is in vain that Mr.. L. wond en-
Jeayor to blind the eyes of the public 10 the true
state of the case This dispute is exclusively be
tween ourselves and him; and is than con
tnuance Of the never ending quarrel between thost
who labor and those who would build a fortune by
plundcring labor Of its just reward. BIT utterly
false as his assertion is in this repcct, yet we do
acknowledge that the committee have in some dc.
gree mcritcd it by calling Mr. Trodwoll a gcntle
man-for which liberty they now offer their nn.

to say there are honorable exceptions among The
