* tT +; vn% nREy AND THE
WAGES OF LABOR.
We have obtained for publication and suhjoin cor
respondcnce between several citizens OF Philadelphia
and the President of the United States, to which we
invite the attention Of our readers being of the most
interesting character. 1t will be that in reply 10
a question addressed TO him. Mr. Van Buren, takes
castor to give his al length upon the sub
iect Of the wages %! labor, showing what in his OPP
mon i the natural and proper compensation which
should be commando BY the working man IN return
for his toll and explaining how 1t that thrcugh the
medium of un wise and partial legislation, the true
der Of things far disturbed often to leave TO the
productive classes barely the means of an uncertain
Subsistence. Il has rarely been fortune to meet
with more admirable exposition Of the only sound
doctrine this respect, than that which furnished BY
Mr. Van Buren,. Its simplicity and clearncss such
tina, no fail to comprehend II a. glance, and
II is as convincing as 1t IS PLAIN.
Furiousy as this Administration is assaulted, and rcck
less It's opponents have proved themselves To be-
there is perhaps point upon which Il has hcen more
grossly or more scandalouSly beled than regard TO
the very topic upon which Mr. Van Buren, speaks.
The Democratic party, which has the general good TOR
its sole object, and which is chiefly composed OF the
veomanry of the land, and Of those who earn Their
bread by their daily toll has been most prepoScrouslv
charged with an intention injure the very class upon
which it relies for support when IN fact all lis mea,
surcs have for their object TO correct The very evils
which deprive labor of It's reward and render the COM
munity the sport of fluctuations and what renders the
accusation the outrageous the fact that comes
from the very monopoly partythc special privilege
and special legislation party-the expansion and con-
traction party, which not only by It's general course,
but By lis specific arts Of panic and pressure, has,
during the last few years, done the very deeds which
it would attribute Others only by reducing
ges but by actually causing state Of things which
threw the working out of employment altogether
But the Presidents letter is 50 admirable in itself
to render comment supcrhuous Let every one read
and form his judgment as to the views of the Adj
mnisraon in regard wages and then say, he can,
that the President is not the true friend of the working
more their friend than the head Of that party
which dare not avow its views upon this upon any
other subject and strives TO crawl silently into power,
there to carry INTO effect all the principles of Federal
ISM having for their end TO enrich the few at the
pense of the many

in the healthy exercises Of the Spring time
of year; and are discoursng with evident
feelings of delight, upon their various hunting,
fishing, aud other excursions. Although we
are little behind them in point of time, if the
old saying be verified, that "when the blossoms
come, the gudgeons run, we may expect with

Canal, showing the present condition Of the
company, and Of the finances of the State of
Maryland, as connected therewith; and urging
with mnch zeal and earnestness, the policy of
making further appropriation to the Canal
Company, at this time. He was followed by
H. H. Gather Esq, in opposition, and by r..
M. Tidball in favour Of an extra session of the
Legislature, and an immediate appropriation
to the Canal
AT the conclusion Of the discussion, Mr.. NJ
G. Pei, offered the following Resolutions, which
were adopted by large majority, viz:
Resotved, That this meeting deeply regret
the failure of the Legislature of the State, 10
make any further appropriation to the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal, for, however many of
us doubt the policy pursued in this State, in
contracting very large debt, to make roads
and Canals, we all concur in the opinion that
the completion OF the Canal TO Cumberland, is
the only measure by which the people of this
State can make provision for the payment of
interest on the bonds already sold for the ben
efit OF that improvement, unless resort is had
to burthensome system of taxation.
ResoLved, as the opinion Of this meeting,
that the Governor of the State ought to call an
,extra session of the Legislature, at an early
day; believing, as we do, that an appropria-
ton to the Canal Company would have been
made, at the last session, if there had been a
full attendance Of the members of the Senate,
when the Canal question was acted on.
Resolred, that the chair appoint seven per-
sons, as a committee, to communicate these
resolutions TO Governor GrasOn.
ResOlred, that the several Editors of the
newspapers of the State, be respectfully re-
|quested topublish the proceedings.
The chair appointed, Jas. J. Merrick, M.
A. Finlay, James Spencer, Isaac Nesbitt, Will
am Weber, Richard Ragan Sen. and Edward
w. Beatty, Esqrs., the committee to commu-
ncate the proceedings to the Governor Of Ma
