saw fit to introduce bill. with the intention and for
the purpose of ncting upon its mechanics and labor
inc oppressive unequal and unjust law. and as
said bill voraby ieceved, and referred to the Ju
dietary Committee, and through their action brought
before the Senate for its consideration and indorse-
ment We therefore upon the part Of the aegrieved do
and hereby protest against the passage OF such
law; we protest against the Great on OF such law be
cause sensible that The regulating axing the
rate of wages the hours Of labor, does not come
properly within the supervision control OF legsa-
tion; conceiyng that If such power be exercised the
Of such usurpaton oOud be used 10 place value
upon the products Of the agTcuurist, the wares Of
the merchant with that of the limitation and direction
of the amount which professional men are to demand
for their services
Is that fair, honest statement of the purport
and effect of the bill referred to- You have
above. Read it carefully, and judge whether
these arragnments of its author are true or
false!
TO the same effect a Mr.. Biggs said:

Mr.. T.. Memhard informed his hearers that

Mr.. Jacob Simon thus ventilated his notions
of law and freedom:
"In certain parts Of this country horse.thiovcs are
hanged, and, though the men who might vote for the
bill are worse than lorsethieyeS We dare not hang
them Cries We shall see = l. for hanging man Is
abolished in this State. but we can spit at them scre'
made theIn applaud them, until hey nil be glad 10 be
out The cifyy If the bosses have q man
arrested for striking all have to do is to ask the
boss 10 release him, pW giue him such btdiHS as
he nil remember for rhile"
We copy the above wholly from The DAILY
Nucs-a journal which assiduously cultiyates
all such demonstrations as that of Thursday,
in the interest of its master, JEFF. Davis, whose
dependency is mitigated by anything that looks
like lawlessness, riot and social anarchy in the
loyal States. But falschoods less palpable, less
easily refuted than the foregoing will be re-
quircd 10 inaugurate another carnival of arson,
robbery and murder in our city; but tn. animnS
is the same as though the prospect were brighter.
Messrs. Folger and Hastings can brave liberal
share of such abuse as the foregoing, yet out
live il.
