The EFFECTS OF THE CRISIS IN MASSACHUSETTS,
The PembeltOn Mills at Lawrence already closing
mp their work and dischargng their help Lawrence
paper says that there have been upon the street

there is thus far indication that such calamity is to
bea the city. The stoppage of these mills would in
yOve in want and distress very large number of Oper
atves, and those who depend upon their earnings for
their daily bread. At Taunton, the tack factory of Mr.
LOvett Morse and the Taunton Tack COmpanyS factory
have suspended operations has also the tack factory
of S. Rhodes & Son, at DightOn About sixty hands
have been discharged from the works of the Taunton
Locomotive Company, (Farbanks and those remaining
put upon short time. 1t stated that there
prospect of Mason Co.'S works resumng operations at
present. At Fall River, in consequence of the factory
suspension in that city, suffering begins to be felt among
the poorer classes there. The Star says Whole am
lies are suffering for bread-the father eager and willing
to work, but nothing to do. We have heard tales Of
distress that would bring tears to the eyes OF the most
Indifferent. These people must have bread or starve,
and this is not community to allow the latter" There
is considerable distress in the shoe towns OF Essex cOu
ty During the last week many hands were discharged
in Lynn and the winter prospects for the poor are
gloomy. The Newburyport Herald hears that orders
have been given for the dscOntnuance of work in
half of the Globe Mills and adds, If these times con-
tnue cannot why they will not all suspend, and
much other business to the injury of the people, both
physically and morally.
Our Northern friends might learn lesson from this,
but it is not expected that they will do If political
economists would open their eyes, they might see that
free labor is failure but that is a thing not to be
thought Of we suppose freemen will go starving
