BUSINESS CHECKED We have heard
Of several enterprises being abandoned on
account OF the result of the election. and
some OF our manufacturing establishments
have thought ii prudent 10 contract their
operations, Statements Of II. is kind will
be seized upon for mlSreI resen,alon, bur
the facts remain stubborn. We are in
formed that manufacturers who had or
dered machinery, TO be constructed in this
city, have in some cases cuunierinanded
their orders Many wolkmen will ne
cessariy be discharged; and if any en-
poyer thinks il his duty to discharge first
those who resigned themselves to the d.
reciion OF the enemies Of the establish
ment no one can wonder at his course
Workmen will not be discharged for hav-
ing honestly formed their own opinion;
but those who placed more confidence in
the demagogu8. than in the subs taulial
PRACTICAL men who were striving to con-
duct a prosperous business and support
the families of the workmcn, cannot be
greatly surprised il they are left to con
sort with their chosen friends Many o!
onr employers have been So afraid of
whaterer mIght look like prescription,
that they have suffered political despera-
doe, to prowi about their establishments,
drawing away the confidence Of the work
men, and Injecting them with prcjudices
against the very men whose interests were
linked with their own.

Loss Of Labor 10 Mcchanics.-We are
informed upon unqucstionable authority.
that three merchants in this city had con.
templaled building, or having built, each
ship apiece III case of the election Of
Henry Clay to the Presidency. Since,
however, 1t has been rendered certain tia,
MIR. Polk is elected, they have abandoned
the idea, fearing that the policy which
will be pursued by him and his party,
would SO paralyse business and COM
merce, as to render The enterprise cortem-
plated by them Improbable. Thus have
the mechanics and laborers of Fel's Point,
IN this one Instance been deprived the OPP
por,unity Of obtaining employ aud shar-
ing in the distribution of at least sixty
thousand dollars. We are well assured
that tho gentlemen who purposed build
ing these vessels, would have entered into
contracts for having them built mmedi.

Henry Clay had been chosen 10 preside

We learn that purchases of land and
iron ore-banks have been made in Balti-
more County, and that the necessary pre-
paratlons were in state of great forward
ness to erect two extensive Iron orks-
one on the York Turnpike, and the other
IN different direclion-wh;ch were to
have been put in Operations without delay
The defeat OF Mr. Clay, and the appre-
tension Of Il reduction OF the present duty
on iron have caused the projectors to
suspend operations; and we learn that the
projects, If not abandoned altogether, will
al least he suspended for some time The
parties concerned in these enterprises are
entirely distinct Each Of these conlem-
plated establishment would have given
employment to large number of work
men, and food to nearly Que thou and
persons, and would besides have added
10 the wealth of the County and the State
