Chicago July 9th, 1868.
To the Ediior Of the wOskISaMAx's ADVocATs.
SIR: knowing The interest you take il
everything that has for its object the elevs.
tion Of the workingman, feel ii ny duty
to aquaint you, and, through you, the many
readers Of your valuable paper, what We
1.-THE pudlers) intend to do, and which We
will attem ot through our own organization,
il we can get no others, bat we want all the
other trades, who may feel so disposed, to
cooperate with ne, and we also want your
ADVICE in the matter.
Our National Convention convenes at
Bafalo, N. Y, on the first Wednesday Of
next month. Our delegates are already
elected to said convention, and are also in
structed to use their influence to create in
side Of our union, what may be termed a
LAND association that is to say, each mem
Der, who may think well OF 1t, shall pay in
dollars per month FOR one year, the
funds accruing to be put monthly in some
savings bank and draw interest, and tho in :
terest to cover the expenses Of the parties
who may be elected to so and select tract
of land large enough to give every member
at least 100 acres.
What mean by one year lie, that at the
end Of that time to make the purchase, and
also to make q payment on it, so as it will
be secured, and, ut the same time, to con-
tinue on the monthly payments until il 10
all paid for, then subdivide it and give to
every man bis deed. Still keep paving on,
and, as the money accumulates in the trea-
SUR and n member wants to settle on bis
farm, advance him money on interest and
take mortgage on bis place. By this you
will perceive that the man who don't settle
will reap the advantage Of sharing IN all the
interest as well as the increase in the value
Of property; and so will every member who
10 trying 70 make home for himself and his
family 10 old age, be assisted.
This 10 only s-general outline, but sufh-
Client for you to understand the object of
such a. association, and we call the atten-
tIon Of the different trades unions to it, and
hope they will cooperate with us. We also
want the assistance of your ably conducted
journal to guide Us with your experience and
advice in forming such an association.
In few years we will be too late. The
public domain is getting settled very fast,
and | don't see no good reason why we
should not exert ourselves little in this d.
rection. We see, every year, ship loads Of
emigrants coming out here and going direct
and settling down on our public lands, and
still we look on with indifference.
Horing to hear your opinion on this sub
ject, l remain yours, respectfully,
ii. McLAUGRLIH.

We, the undersigned, natives of Swed en-,

Of the Hibernian, and his gallant officers,
for the kind and courteous manner in which
we were treated, for tho attention paid to
our wants, and for the discipline and good
order observed in his vessel.
The same credit is also due to the com

to Us during our whole voyage. We were
delayed little at Glasgow, Scotland, but at
the eompany's expense, and only then be-

who intend emigrating to Am erica.

Good ADVICE from an Unexpected
Quarter.


Quarter.
The New York Sun Of the 14th inst. con-
tains the following sound advice to the
bricklayers Of that city, from a correspon-
dent who signs himself CAPITAL" No
matter, however, who penned 1t; it contains
good deal Of good, sound, common sense,
and the advice given may be followed with
advantage by every craft and calling 10
any section of the country.
Sir: Ninety per cent Of the buildings in New
York, Brooklyn, and Jersey City, are built by
"Union Bricklayers," and the practical super
intendence Of the same is done BY "Union
Bricklayers," for Il is notorious that the fore
men who lay out, direct and oversee the work
from the foundation % the completion, are al
most to Q man Union Brcklayers." Why then
should the building interest stand still The
bricklayers have the skill, they have the hands,
and that ther can give ample security for the
fulfilment Of contracts 10 perfectly evident
Now, with these important facts In their favor,
let Us say: "Cnion men," abandon the ''master
masons" Whose work they have done hereto
fore at cost,) enter the market as competitors,
and take the work directly from the owners, in
competition with the master maaons. Then
the success Of the "Union men wouidA be com
plete for it 10 plain tbas n they can complete
the work for ths " master" at cost, then they
can do Ii for the owner at q price far below thai
Of the " MASTER We would briefly add thai
with such cspability In the hands Of the brick

OUR STnrr RAILEoADs.-We Clip The follow
ing from the Council proceedings, published n
he Times,' Of last Tuesday morning:
A communication was received from the
rreA Y Assembly asking that the Council com
rel the several street railway companies to run
cars early enough to allow working men to 20
70 their work in time, and also that The same
-Umpanies be compelled to run cars ali night
red to the Committee On Railways
We sincerely trust the Committee to
~. this petition Was referred viii give it a
careful consideration. We presume little if any
opposition will be offered to the FIRST PROPOSE
ion, With regard 10 the second, we believe
hat no parties are more interested in it's passage
than the "wners Of property, lying on the out
skirts Of the city. Working men who are com
PEELED to.Ieturn home at one, two or three
o'clock in the morning will not purchase a
homestead two or three miles from their places
81 business, unless such facilities are afforded
them for reaching them. No san. man will
ramp through the mud and snow al such unsea-
sonable hours, because ten or fifteen dollars are
saved by so doing. Besides, there is no CUES
ion were such a system adopted, that the rail
road company would event ually be the gamers
by so doing Howe yer, we shall wait and see.
