In making this staaemsnt we have no axe "a
grind. Personally il is a matter Of the utmost
Indifference TO US whether Mr.. White OF Mr..
Gassstte are nominated, as we shall support,
under all circumstance. the nominee Of the
WorkingmaRs Convention, be he who he may.
But We, in common with all citizens, have an In
terest In effecting needed reform, viz fight
ing our political battles on principle instead Of
resorting 20 sheer blacguardism. Of Capt
Gassette We know nothing. Doubtless he is 9
popular gentleman, and would make an efficient
public officer, and we cannot believe that he
would sanction the indiscretion Of his friends to
which we have alluded.

I NORWICH, Sept. 1868.
I To tie Editor Of the woREisaxAS's ADVOCATE.
l am glad to learn that you have been
elected a delegate to the National Labor
/ Congress. / shall be glad 10 meet many of
my old friends there. take il that the
coming is the most important National ga
thering that We have had. And hold that
every locality should be well represented and
have a fair hearing upon al questions that
shall come before g. We shall see that
Connecticut is well represented by at least
tw enty- five delegates. We are all convinced
that the n. L. T. is growing power, and
sooner or later will develop great good to
the workingmen, and il should receive a
hearty support and co-oPerah sm all the
laboringmen Of orr country. every la
boring man feel as do about ms matter,
We could chip in fifty cents apiece, and that
little act would give the N. L. Union money
enough to buy the Cooper Institute buildings
4 in New York, TO hold our annual sessions in,
and We could rent It the rest OF the year for
enough to pay all our officers salaries, and
printing expenses, and surely fifty cents
would not impoverish any one workingman.
But this would build up great CO. opera
tive power in the interest Of the many
Such a small pittance of money placed in
4 cooperative interest would cover the Labsr
movement with never-ceasing glory and q
power irresistible. This N l.. U. must be
kept up and receive our hearty corporation !;
+ If not, il will be run by our enemies and
/ against workingmen's interest. American
institutions rever 90 backwards, and why
should a great institution like the N. L. U.
Last week our Trades Unions in Norwich
held their monthly meetings and elected
their delegates 10 represent them in the an
nual session Of the n l.. o., that meets in
New York Sept 2lst. IL would occupy too
much u your important space to give full
report OF our meetings, so ! send herewith
the names of delegates representing their
respective Unions. Trades Assembly, q. W.
Gibson and Edward Hunter; 64a men. -
Reform Eight Hour League, b. II. Aldrich ;
y 100 men. Eight Hour League, d. J. Meade T;
$40 men. We have another organization
here--the Jackson Assoeiation-that would
ike to send delegates but think they will
not be admitted on account oftheir political
utilization. They are somewhat mixed body,
and believe they number about 300 men.
Judging from the appearance Of things, there
will be very large delegation at New York.
Time will not permit me TO say more as
an very much occupied, and have been I'll
the year, but hope to ere long give good
account to my many friends for my seeming
silence the past season.
Very respectfully,
am, my Dear Sir, Yours truly,
