question, and its influence upon that injurious
competition which will for Il long time cause con-
siderable damage to our endeavorngs, and always

question How are the Emigrant w orkingmen
to be protected when arriving on the shores,
against the speculatlons and expressions OF capt

Messrs Pond, Ahrens, JonaSSohn, Hexamer and
Hamilton, were appointed such Committee
The proposition of Mr.. ?. t. DAY to send Dele

warm and spirited debate and finally the mo-
ton was laid on the table.
In supporting this motion Mr.. Commerterd said:
We do not propose to instruct the Delegates TO
the Worlds Fair but we propose to come to-
gether as members of common family, not instj
gated by the foolish pride OF excellence in the ar
ticle or the amount of toll, but, that we may as.
certain how long and for how much each industri-
81 is obliged to toll to enable HIM to subsist in our
different countries.
