ISOLATION, College of Physicians and Surgeons,

Congress promises to be great affair, and It
should be borne in mind by all who have been
chosen Delegates that its future meetings are to
be held every Tuesday evening in the New City
Hall, which has been granted for these assem-
blages of the Representatives, Of Labor by the
Corporation. Let every delegate who can make
it convenient, be regularly at his post, so that
good report can be rendered TO the several consit

great City, and are anxious to hear good account
from them.

THE TAILoRs.-A meeting Of the principal deal
ers in Southern" work was held last evening,
I'VE could not ascersaia at what placel at 81
o'clock to take into consideration the necessary
steps for preventing the adoption Of the list OF prices
proposed by the Journeymen Taiors. 1t has been
said that the employers could not, at present, OBJ
tain higher profit upon their goods than 20 per
ce1t which Was scarcely sufficient to cover their
risk, expenses, &c. We do not know whether this
is true or rot nor will We decide whether PROFIT
Of 20 per cant might satisfy merchant trading
with the South. But if indeed the complaint proges
correct we then ask, What was the cause OF the
present reduced standard Of the market prices =
Was it any thing else than competition based
upon the need and the restitution OF the working
Tailors which such employers thought tit ins.ru-
ments tor their speculation We heard very re-
spectacle employer say that he would willingly
grant % per cent more, IL he would be guaranteed

In such case, why refuse longer 70 grant what
humanity, equity and justice demand The Soc

rights as citizens and the Right to Labor at a re-
