count Of the meeting Of the Coopers on the previous
evening. 1t says Although the assembage was
of journeymen Coopers mechanics OF every branch
were invited to cooperate-that by general union
of Workinemen, trades bat small in number and
weak in influence, may be elevated In common
with those formidable in these respects. The AID.
dress OF the President of the Association, Mr.. j. A.
Heath was forcible, and well calculated TO arouse
bis hearers TO action. He pointed out the wrongs
under which the mechanic at present labors and
clearly pointed out how it was in bis power, If he
had but the will to throw of the shackes by which
he is at present surrounded.
Another meeting OF the body was called for Mon
day evening next, when il is hoped that general
attendance of WorkiIgmen will be made We
again state that it is hrm belief the present Ia
Dor vemen is but in its incipiency, and that re-
