WRITER'S" FROM THE WORKING OF THE LAWS
WHICH HAVE BEEN MADE by THEIR CHAMBER OF
CoMMKRcE-THEIR PROPOSED LIGHTHOUSE ON THE
SOUTHWEST SPIr-AND OTHER HUMBuGs.-The
Chamber of Commerce. selt-appointed set Of
men-are continually representing to Congress that
their favorite system works acknowledgement lever
vessels have been lost since their dsorganzation Of
the law and Of the business than before their inter-
ference-hat their so-styled oppositions have pro-
duced the greatest safety. Many honest and well
meaning citizens have been misled by their false
Boosting, and that part Of the public generally who
trust to the Chamber Of Commerce for information,
have been egregiousy and wickedly deceived by
these selcappointed lawmakers, who have neither
sagacity or stability Of character to regulate their
own paltry affairs, but who arrogate to themselves
the right to instruct and command the whole gov
eminent Of the country, and who have always scout
ell the commercial and financial measures Of de-
mocratic Congress, from the day when, on the MeE-
chants Exchange, in Wall street, they swore eternal
hatred to President Jackson, and gave themselves
the u. s. Bank. Who are these men, that they should
assume to dictate terms to the representatives
Of the people Have they more honesty, more wis,
street give these would.be Soons any special pre-
rogative We think not-and the following list Of
DISASTERS under the workings Of their system OF mo.
nopoly and patronage, whilst carrying on their sd:
wage war against the honest, skiltul and well-uied
New York pilots, will convince any dsinterested
man that the plans Of this Chamber can work no.
thing but evil to lite and property that the United
States law of 1887 should at once be repealed, and
that the Legislature of New York shouldn't once en-
act wise and permanent laws OF pllotage.
