Gsnlemen:-Y Y our letter prorounding
interrogatories on behalf of the Mechanics
Association of Marshall County, touching
nv views in relation to the present system
OF convict labor as pursued in the Peniten>
tiary of our State is before me. | shall al
ways hold myselfin readiness to submit my
views fully and fairly before my fellow citi
zens.
1t is the duty of al Governments to pro-
tect equally all classes and divisions of So
cety-so Iegislate as to distribute their
blessings aud burthens equally, without
distinction, either to property or profession.
And the mo so is it the duty of a Gov
ernment like ours, whose every power is
derived fom and dependent upon the
voice of the people TO foster and protect the
diversife ID interest of the people. Not to
exat the one by depressing md degrading
the other.
The prese mt system of convict labour in
our State Penitentiary, conceive injuri.
ouslys conflicts with ths honest industry
of our Mechanics and intrenches upon the
rights OF a portion of the body polite from
which the Governmen; draws no inconsid>
cradle part of its wealth and strength The
present system brings the Government
with all lis facilities into market to com
pete with and TO undersell those from
whom springs the Government itself. The
| present system destroys one of the great
sources of wealth, elevates the channel OF
industry. takes from the people the free
dom of occupations, and compels them TO
seek livelihood OF congenlal with their
inclination or education And l wi |, If e.
iected to a seat in the Legislature in No
vember next, lend my cordial co operation
in support of any plan not detrimental with
the interest of the Sale at large, brough BIT
forward for an efficient correction of the e.
