\ Ina A. CAMPBELL, another iOurneyman, was
listened To with great attention. he explained the
cause of their former defeat IL S45 and Of the in
tersss be had all along taken in the movement. He
had visited, few years since, the various cities Of
the Union as a Delegate from the New. York So
ciety, and was confident that rum and the pre-
sumsd opposition of the bosses were the chief
causes OF want Of cooperation from the Bakers Of
the neighb0ring cities. He trusted this would no
bigger be the case. Let us now rise men ought
! 10. AID cooperate one with another, hand In hand.
Mr. Morrison noticed one position OF Mr.. C.'e

violently sick. and Ia whose behalf his fellow
| bakers had taken up q col ection. MIR. N. was
utonished to see him in this unfortunate plight,
and asked why his employer did nothing for him
The aged man told him he was severely upbraided
BY he boss tor not saving his money for time OF
need He only received shillings per week,
equal to 81 so in our currency 1t was his own
tAal bis bos4 id, and he was kicked out like a
Cog II was just so here-young and hearty men
can BE- got TO supply the places OF aged men at
low rates; and it was the policy OF the bosses to
