the Lakes of Killarney, Balmoral Castle, Buck
ingLam Palace. the Houses of Parliament, the
Four Courtsin Dablio, the Paris Exposition in

laughabIe scenes being iuterSpersed. Just be-
fore the usual time of closing, however, the

THE WORKINGMEN.

Sir-As your journal is the only one printed
in English in the city that will represent
things in their true light, allow me to reques,
you will put the remarks that follow before
the public in your paper
The workingnen Of this city-mechanics
laborers, etc, have tried, at various times, tc
stir up among those having means, a feeling
to assist them in their endeavors to get work.
But some may say all of the papers published
here, except the BULLETIN and Bee, are against
the workingmen getting a fair chance before
the public. They pretend to make reports OF
what is said at those meetings, and instead of
an honest one, they convert it into "a
sort Of burlesque, as if the workingmen
did not know what they We're about, but there
are workingmen in this city who do know
what they are about: and if they could only
get their views properly represented in the
public journals, they would get sympathy and
aid from without that seems to be denied them
by those among whom they have cast their
lot Give us fair showing, and we shall
prove to every one that the conclusions We
have come to are the results Of study and at
tention to the position in which We this day
find ourselves. There is provision made for
every one who bends the knee to iniqui and
wrong, but, sir, the honest and intelligent me-
chanic cannot, will not, come down to bolster
up such wrong
If therefore we are not worthy of being ad-
vised with, and some means taken to do some
thing that will prevent the exodus of those
who are the stay snd bulwarks Of liberty, then
let ignorance, fetish and depravity rule. We
shall not be here to try to stay it. Our
wealth is our labor without that labor the
money Of the capitalist ranks no higher than
the stones of the street. If we can show the
public that We can not only alter the present,
but the future condition of things we are
ready to leave and 60 elsewhere Our strong
arms and honest intentions will get us bread
outside of Louisiana Some of us have spent
here lifetime in making money man can
not easily break up old associations his dead
are in their quiet homes at rest !; he cannot
bear the idea Of leaving the spot Of all others
most sacred to him. He wants no aims no
,harity, only mutual aid to use the talent God
las given him. Let those who desire an end
,ut to the burdens we are bearing come out
md help us, and they will help themselves.
