BosToN, Oct, 8, 1872.-Mr. Editor:
As despise both political parties, it mat
tiers very little If | fling my vote away by
voting the Radical Democratic Protest
ticket, Of which enclose a copy for you.
No president at all, should be the vote Of
every workingman in this campaign. Abo-
litlon of the Presidency, the source of all
corruption, all contention, all party tyranny
and all anti-republican intrigues.
Any one who looks with impartial eyes
at this presidency must see that it is All
institution Of spoil, which is not worthy
the support of true Workingman, and
when one considers the mischief il creates.
when we see the most honest men forced to
howl with the wolves, when their party
comes into possession Of the spoils, it il
disgusting to see people calling them
selves republicans of the most advanced
free government, rolling in such dirty poo
as this institution Of spoil presiden-
cy, and who are the despoiled The pro
ducing classes.
A great many public works are nov
stopped until after the election, because
the governing party wants all the none,
to keep themselves i'll possession Of tn,
spoils. Ii Grant is reelected, which seemi
probable, hops we will find out that WI
would do better to initiate that httl,
Swiss Republic and abolish such damna
BILE institution Of robbery Yours respect
fully, O. A. PETERSEN.

nlcnt, a monthly, semi-monthly or weekly
journal should be established and main
tanned by the National Union. In fact |
would have it vast Labor Bureau, gath
oring statistics and giving them back again
for the benefit Of members.
What We shall do after such an Organi-
zatlon is effected il another question
which / do not propose to discuss ut this
time, believing il we never succeed in
dong more than establishing friendly re-
lations and u feeling Of fellowship between
the trades and their members that our
lHbors will be amply rewarded What
we need most, in my humble opinion, is
a close relationship and fuller knowl-
edge OF our condition We want to un-
derstand the effect of all the evils that
surround US, and these We will leave the
inclination to search for the cause. In
conclusion l quote an extract from nav
last address to our National Union. which
embraces very fully my ideas. 1t is as fol
lows
We clanor for eight hours and more
pay, but the truth Of the matter is, il
every one performed his part and contri
buted his share, We would not have to
work more than half eight hours, and un-
til we are in condition To reap the whole
reward Of our labor We shall never know
the amount of fair days wages. We
must 90 beyond the mere settlement of the
wages and hours question. They are the
effects, and therefore we must touch the
cause before We can receive any perma-
nent benefit. God never intended that
one OF his children should live in luxury
and extravagaDce while his brother next
door has scarcely food to feed his hungry
children. do not blame the rich for
being rich, but do blame the people for
toleratlng u system that will enable men
to aInass such riches, and then protect
them in using it 10 crush the poor and
unfortunate. To these questions and
these causes we must look for redress
We come here year after year, ard we are
still discussing the same questions, and
the proceedings Of to-day are not unlike
what they were six years ago. We have
dealt too long with effects, and now let US
seek out the right road which shall lead US
to place Of safety What does it matter
though We get ten dollars a day, if the
purchasing power Of it is destroyed by the
Vaccinations Of the rich and powerful
The labor question is truly the greatest
question that agitStes the people and the
nations to-day. 1t means that all shall
live, and that all who can shall contribute
towards that living. 1t means equal op-
portunities- duties without rights, nc
rights without duties 1t means Justice
1t means war upon those who war upon
u.s.
And now, friend Cameron, if | may be
permitted to make a suggestion, | would
name Detroit for the holding Of such a
convention Of the officers Of National and
State Associations, with the committee Of
the National Union, and that it be held
some time in November or December at
the latest. Yours truly,

The workingman's advocate., 1872-10-19

The following letter from an esteemed
friend, in Pennsylvania, conveys pretty
correct idea of the political status Of the
workingmen q that State. The only al
tentative left for the members Of the Labor
Reform Party is To pick their tiints and
try again" The experience Of the past,
bitter though il be, u the ride-On-the cur
rent Adventurer, conveys a lesson 20 the
true labor reforner. We looked to Penn
sylyAnia, With pride and hope. We have
been disappointed. Our correspondent
partly explains the reason why Il reads
a. follows
The excitement of the election being
over. | am sorry to have to say that our
men have, IN a great measure fell back be-
hind their party lines We. the labor re-
formers made "A straight nomination from
President and Judge of this county down

fed the nomination of all those who had
formerly been Republicans, and 4 gentle

Der of our state Committee, but who for
merly belonged to . Democratic party, (he
being the only man indoFAed by the Re
publicans) having Irish blood in his veins,
WAS placed on their ticket voluntarily; then
they turned rOuDd and most shAmefulIy be-
trAyed him, which hal caused great disaffec-
tiOn in our ranks % much ~ that fear
it will take 8 great deal Of time and labor
to rectify the mistake 1t 10 my opinion
if the Republican party had not have in
dOrsed any OF our men, We could have
done much better, and kept our party in
tact But we mnSt only try to rally again,
and learn Lesson BY the past though we
have the proud satisfaction Of having de-
feated ignoROmOusly Judge Ryon, of con-
spirAcy notoriety, and also Of having given
the Hon. John W. KillingeT the biggest
majority ever cast for . man In this con

tor everything in connection with the cleo
