A CHICAGO Man.


CHICAGO, June 8, 1866
In your last issue, [ see, in commentiu z

Mass MeeGing 81 WOrkingmen of
Wilmington, del.

An immense meeting IF the w0rkingmen
Of Wilmington, Del, was he!d on Saturday
evening, 9Th in-.., under the auspices of
the Trades Assembly, for the purpose of
arousing the Union feeling of the mechanics
Of that city. Al least 1000 of the bone
-and sinew were present. and a more orderly
assemblage was never held.
Mr.. Mechanics was called to the chair,
and ably presided. Marshal Roberts, Of the
Varnishers' Union Of Philadelphia, was in
troduced, and entertained the meeting for
upwards of an hour With a mastery ad-
dress
Capt. G. W. Carey. Of the Wilmington
Boilermakers, made Que Of his usual stirring
appeals.
Mr.. Samuel Buck, OF the Philadelphia
Painters Union, addressed the Ia eting IN
his quiet, persuasive style, which carries
conviction from his reasoning, and by his
humor kept the vast audience in a roar.
Charles NJ. Barker, OF the Philadelphia
harnessmakers, also made an interesting
speech, followed by Mr.. Dougherty, Of VIII
mington.
The vast assem5l1Se adjourned at 1890
with three rousing cheers for Marshal Rob
erts and the Trades Assembly of Whining

those countries. In fact, we may safely
conclude that the superiority Of the Greeks,
over the neighboring nations, consisted more
in their ability to provide the munitions Of
war, build fortresses, and in manufactures,
than in simple agricultural pursuits, for II
wss frequently the case, that they had to
capture their supplies from their enemies
before they could successfully enter upon a
campaign. Hence il seems safe to take the
ground that purely agricultural people are
never strong nation, from the fact that they
are deficient in those clements which consti-
tute strength. For If we 60 back to first prin-
ciples we shall hnd that il requires not more
than one-fourth Of the labor now expended,
to sustain life and provide the other abso-
lutte necessities; and just as far as any m
tion assumes this position they become cor
respondingly effeminate and weak.
What was true in Greece and Rome in
inventions, enterprise and scientific investi-
gator has always been true with other na.
tons, but has never been demonstrated so
fully as in the United States 1t has seemed
| necessary to examine the condition Of other
countries in order to see what estimate to
put upon skill and ingenuity; and if we
find, that those nations having the greatest
number of eunninglY skilled workmen in oil
the varioue branches, were the most pros
porous and powerful, it is safe to conclude
that such workmen contributed largely to
| their wealth.
When speaking Of agriculturalists, those
persons are not referred to, who occupy large
farms adjacent to Giles or towns where they
may find a ready market for their products,
and are also within reach of those wonder
ful improvements-th work Of American
genius. But especially to those nations who
possess and encourage but few inventions or
improvements. Neither would we speak dis
paragingy of those who till the soil, for
their occupation is both laudable and pleas
ant, and Is necessary in the great economy
Of individuals and nations. But this does
not change the fact that inventive genius
leads more especially into mathematical
and philosophical channels, for any tangible
invention implies some mechanical construc-
ton and it matters not whether such inven-
tion is produced by the skilful artist or by
the most illiterate and obscure individual,
only SO it is Of public utility and is brought
before such class as will appreciate it when
its advantages are demonstrated. In the next
communication, the subject OF what an in.
vention consists, will be discussed, in order
that thorough understanding may be ar.
rived at, before proceeding to examine the
progress Of more modern nations.

A MECHANICS, INSTITUTE.

Pursuant to notice given q meeting Of the
Mechanics of Chicago, under the auspices
Of the Trades Assembly, was held at st.
Georges Hall, last Monday evening, to take
the necessary steps to re-organize the
Mechanics Institute.
On motion A. G. Cameron was called to
the chair, and ]. Gatrell was appointed
Secretary.
After the Chairman had stated at length
the object for which the meeting had beer
called, and the circumstances under which
he had reason to believe the charter and
library Of the old Institute could lie obtain
ed, it was on motion resolved that ths
meeting now reso..-s itself into Mechanics
Institute, and an opportunity being given
for all those present to sign their names
as members, which they did.

to the best means to obtain itsdGharter and
library.
On motion the same committee were in
structed to wait on Judge Van Higgins, and
ascertain on what terms he would surrender
that part Of the library now in his possession.
On motion the matter Of selecting the
the time and place for holding the next
meeting was left in the hands Of the same
committee.
On Motion the proceedings were ordered

RAILWAY "MAsrRR-MEcHANIcs."- We In

respondent ''index," that this useful and
most intelligent class of railway officials be
invited to attend the National Railway Con-
vention. A railway convention, for the OBJ
lects proposed ia the call, unattended BY
master mechanics, would be . good deal

be invited by all RaiJscay Time.

these so-calIed "master mechanics" are
neither more nor less than the veriest tools,
employed to do the dirty work Of their
masters, and who are seldom, IL ever, select
ed for their workmanship or ability; and
considering also that it is intended to inaug-
crate . general crusade against MI trades
unions at that convention, We think the sug-
gestion that they be invited to participate
in its deliberations, sminsntly just and
proper. II nominations are in order, we
would propose the name of Mr.. Horatio

present the master mechanics Of this city
