Loss OF LABOR TO MECHANIcs.-We are in
formed upon unqncstlonable authority, that three
merchants in this city had contemplated building,
or having built each, ship apiece in case of the
election of Henry Clay to the Presidency. Since,
however, it has been rendered certain that Mr..
Polk is elected, they have abandoned the idea, fear
ing that the policy which will be pursued by hin
and his party, would so pnralysc business aud com
nerce as TO render the enterprise contemplated by
them unproitahle Thus have the mechanics and
la6olo.s Of Fell's Point in this one instance been
! deprived the opportunity of obtaining employ and
sarng in the distribution Of at least sixty thousand
dollars. We well assured that the gentlemen
who pnrposcd building these vessels would have
entered into contracts for having them built nmc-
diatey after it had been announced that Henry
Clay had been chosen to preside over this nation as
its Chief Magistrate.
Whether times will bcany worse or not remains
to be experienced. One thing, however, is certain
that such men those mentioned above who to n
great extent composed the Wing party, have al
ready lost confidence, and will, we have no doubt,
withhold their means. From this cause we fear
very much many will have cause TO regret that they
voted for James X. Polk. Bal. Pat

that about fifty hands have been discharged from

Some of the first fruits of the recent Polk tri.
umrh in the nation are beginning TO display them
selves in our own County. We learn from Proc

ted there, will remain unoccuped; its proprietors
deeming it altogether too hazardous to obtain ma

Cahoes When completed, it would have been one
OF the argest mills in the Union. Since the cleo

great friends to the laboring man. take them by the

If the Locofoco capitalists do not believe that
the Tariff is in danger, why DO they not embark in

their iUlschoods have doludod into casting their
Votes against the measure which gave them bread
Why do they not come forward and offer the same

the election. They have been boastng of their

them to come forward and give the world sample

HE PRACTICAL EFFECTS OF Mr.. PoLKs Flee
TIoN.--The owners of an extensive water power
near this city, where a large factory in process
OF erection, have discontinued the work. There is
no encouragement to 90 on with 1t under the adj
iian of JauIes X. Polk and if thoro ,vns IL
can be finished much cheaper when the price of la
Dor has been brought down to the hard money STAN
dard. More than half the mechanics who are
thrown out of employment by the dscontnuance
of this work are Polkes. They reap the fruit Of
their own sowing. Another large mill near this
city has been finished, and the machinery ordered;
but since the election the order for the machinery
has been countermanded. This is but the begin
ming This is what the fear of free trade produces
When have free trade itself, which has been
held up to the laborng classes as their highest po-
liiica good, shall all sec the full effects of the
policy, the very apprehension OF which trlghtens the
capitalist and pusies the arm Of labor.-Pror. Jour.
PRoJEcT KNOCKED IN THE HEAD-We UNDER
stand that arrangements had nearly been compile
ted to start large woullcn manufacturing eStab-
| lishmcnt in this city, with capital OF 100000,
the foundation of which would have been laid this
fall, but as the people of the United States have
decided in favor of the British manufactures, the
design will be abandoned Thus an annual dstr-
button of from twenty to thirty thousand dollars in
wages, which would have found their way to our
merchants ailors, shoemakers, &c. and the farmers
in vicinity, is prevented, and the money will
instead be shipped TO pay the wages OF British OPP
eralivcs.-- Utica GG,.

Polk destroys the confidence of the business men
