Mass Meeting.

The first OF a series of mass meetings under the
auspices of the workingmens assembly was held
last night in City Hall. Speakers were moderate,
aud appealed to the auditors to abandon irrespou
sibe leaders, aed to enter into systematic, well
de vsed plan for their own protection. They said
that many attempts were made to undertake ideas
in the heads of mechanics by strollers, which if
carried out would do NO good. They did not pro-
pose to array one class Of labor against another
nor 10 array labor against capital Incendiary
speeches would not help workngmen. There
must be combination between all the trades of the
country, aud unity Of action and Of wishes.
