THE PRINTERS.
Mee,iur Of .h, CIV Couno.it

The printers employed in the offices of the
city, or as they arc iamllarly knowh, "the
down toNh hands," have been very much
dissatisfied with the result of the meeting of
the Columbia Typographical Union, and
contend that the National Union has been
abused and denounced by certain members
of the fraternity working at the Government
printing Office. They therefore deem 1t
proper that they, as body, should take nc
ton in the matter, and to this end private
meeting of committee of one from each
office was held last night, and after an inter
change Of views it was decided that meet
ing should be called, to be held probably at
Coombs' Hall, on Saturday evening next, to
which will be invited all printers who sup.
port the action OF the National Typographi-
cal Union at their annual session, lately
held at Albany.
