! pie flocked to the stand erected for the
' ? . .
occasion, in a most DeauUiul grove on
Naylor'a Run, and were addressed by
Hon. V. B. Horton anifthe writer hereof,
until after noon, when a recess was taken
for dinner. ; ; As most of the people bad
brought .baskets of provisions along,
there was an hour spent in the shady
grove in "picnic" style and jolly enjoy
ment.
The crowd wbb so large in the fore
noon, and it being understood that the
main speech of the afternoon would be
in German, it was supposed that the au
dience would not be so large. But, to
the astonishment of every ono, tho mul
titudes poured in until there were iully
five thousand people upon the grounds,
.No such gathering haa ever beon wit
nessed in Pomeroy on any similar occa
sion. " Mr. Hassaurek was introduced to
the audience, and addressed the vast con
oourBO for nearly three hours in the Ger
toan language. We could not under
stand the language, but from his manner
the profound attention, and rapturous
applause of those who did it was easy
to see that he was making a deep impres
sion upon his hearers. It was announced
that after speaking to his fellow-countrymen,
he would give a short address
in the English language, and an ida of
the feeling of the crowd may bt inferred
from the- fact that two thousand people
listened attentively for three hours to a
speech in the Glman; 'ansruaee. which
they did not "understand, 'for. the sake of
hearing orator close the exercises in
the "English language. After speaking
in the German until nearly exhausted,
be gave.' a short address In English, as
announced. We have no time to report
the speech.- It is enough to say that it
more than met the expectations of the
audience, high as were .those expecta
tions.'1 Mr., Hassaurek is certainly one
of the best speakers in the State, in the
English language, and it. is the univer
sal verdict of the German citizens, that
in his native tongue be stands without a
superior. We were glad to see so many
of. our German fellow-citizens present.
Hundreds of them heard j perhaps for the
first time, the true issues between the
parties fairly and honestly discussed.
And from the respectful attention paid
to the speaker, and, from what we have
since beard, we are sure a lasting im
pression was made ' upoir many honest
mind vwhich" will lead them into the "Re
publican party.
In the evening Mr, H. again addressed
an immense crowd from the steps of the
Court-house, amidst the illumination of
the torches of the Wide-Awakes, which
made; the most magnificent display ever
witnessed in this part of the State. ' Af
ter speaking in German, he was followed
by Mr. Grosvenor, of Athens, when the
audience insisted upon a speech in Eng
lish from, Mr. Hassaurek, which was
given and received with the utmost en
thusiasm: Upon the whole, we "venture
to say that no political demonstration
ever passed off more satisfactorily in
Southern Ohio, or ever produced more
marked results. And its effects will be
seen in such a Republican vote as will
utterly astonish those who have boasted
that they ltltad a mortgage vjpon the votes
of tke.IhUch.'1 The German citizens are
Democrats from principle, not i.i the
party sense of that word, but in its true
meaning.' And when convinced that a
party uses the name to carry out prin
ciples opposed to true-Democracy, they
will leave the party and go with those
who go for freedom, in fact. We pledge
oar Republican friends in other town
ships that we. will give three hundred ma
jority in Salisbury,1 and believe it will be
much more likely to reacn 4uu tnan ian
below our estimate.

' PROGRESS. ''"'v.'.-,.
The Lincoln fever is spreading rap
idlr in. Maryland. A new Republican
paper has; just been started there. ' It
is. said that there are at least two thou
sand German Republicans in. the city of
Baltimore alone. 'Many of the old line
Whigs have become so thoroughly dis
gusted "with the "trade and dicker" her
tween the leaders ot tbe -Bell and Doug
las parties, , that they . are ; announcing
their purpose of voting for Lincoln and
Hamlin. ' Several of the ablest Bell pa
pers in the State are assuming the same
position. They say they, are honestly
ami in good faith,' in favor of Bell and
Everett as tbeir first choice; but will not
be' transferred by gambling demagogues,
to the'support of either factions of the
demoralized and sinking Democracy.
The Bigns are cheering. Not that we
think Lincoln will carry Maryland, for
we. 'have, no idea he will do, so. We
suppose he has no more chance of carry
ing I' any Slave ' State, than'- Douglas, or
Bell, 'or .Breckinridge has af" carrying
any of the Free States.-, But the fact
that the Republican party is young, vig
orous, and growing, the vote it will re
ceive, in the border Slave States now
will insure to it,-Delaware, Maryland,
Kentucky -and Missouri four .-.years
hence. ; Thsre are-no elements in mod
ern eiyilizatioTi which makes it possible
fpr the Democratic party to recover its
lost position., ii mus, in . the very ne
cessity, of things, continue to decline,
while the Republican party must in
crease i andr become all powerful.
'I Every element of opposition to free
dom, every form, of insane passion, every
phfase of unreasoning prej udice, every
leader of blind : faction, is already at
homein some wing of the "Democracy,
and there frey moreover, still lingering
in its fold, thousands of honest men, .cit
izens .who reallyhave at heart the best
interests of their country. But with all
these, the partyhas dwindled into a mi
nority. It . baa . nothing ' within.' it, to
which it can appeal thai can win recruits
from'- the Republican ranks,' already
sifted 'of all the material fitted for mod-erji-
Dewocrats. . ; Tbe ."prostrated slave
holder the, prowling kidnapper the
conteumet of human :rigb3 the do-.:
spisers of free labors the dough-faced
demagogues, and their . servile tools,
who, like well-fid negroes, arc willing
Slaves all of such who, by blunder and
misassociation, Ibver : found themselves
acting with the Republicans, have left
them, and have found their proper place
in thai1 ranks of Borne one of tbe opposing
parties. Still the Republicans have a
majority, and have, besides, as a resource
from which to draw the great reservoir
of honest voters still waiting in these
various factions for more light, and
ready to leave as soon as the light is
seen. From these the change mast b
rapid in the future, until the Republ i
can party shall triumpb in every State.
This view of the political field makes
it certaln'to every reflecting mind that
the final triumph of truth, justice, pros
perity, and freedom in all the States is
but a question of time. We will carry
all the Free States 0xcept California
this year. . Four years . hence we will
just as surely add to-the list, Delaware,
Maryland 'and Missouri. Eight years
henco, Kentue'k'y and Texas v.ill be
added to the glorious . galaxy. In
twelve, years, Virginia, great, glorious,
grand, old Virginia, with all her sur
viving memories of her earlier days,
will wheel, into line, and discarding her
profligate sons who have disgraced their
mother, will take her place, ' as in days
of old, firBt in the counsels of ( a united
and happy people. .; Tennessee," and the
other States will follow the example,
until - in the not distant future, the dis
cord of our time will be hushed in- sen
timents of a common brotherhood, a'
common interest, and a common destiny.
. ! We believe : this : change will take
place, simply ; because ' we believe that
men our brothers bad as many of
them are, are not predestined and irre
deemable devils. And if they are not,
then the seething harams of a disgusting
amalgamation, where sordid avarice and
brutal lust work together to supply the
flesh shambles with human victims, can
not last forever. ; If they are not, then
forced ignorance the beastly degrada
tionthe unpaid labor extorted ' by
the lash from sullen men and shrieking
woraeu, cannot last ', forever. If they
are not, then the despotism which
makes . the plainest christian - duty
a crime, a free press incendiarism, and
free speech treason, to. be suppressed by
lynch law, and ruffian ; outrage, cannot
last forever. And because : we believe
that men are men and not demons, we
believe these things will have an end,
right and justice, truth and freedom,
will take their places. And for the in
aguration of that better era, we believe
the Republican party, imperfect as it is,
and imperfectly as it understands" its
mission, is nevertheless a necessary in
strument. And hence, only do we sup
port the Republican party.
tOThere is likely to be some politi
cal litigation in N Y., growing out of the
contract of sale entered into between the
leaders of the Douglas and Bell parties.
Hunt, Brooks & Co., the managers of the
Bell party, entered into a contract to sell
and , convey to the .Douglas managers
the entire body of voters who were in
favor of Bell and Everett. After the
agreement was signed and scaled, it was
discovered that the grantors in the deed
could only deliver a part of the stock so
sold. : A considerable number of those in
cluded in the bill of sale, claim that they
were free born, and actually dispute tbe
right of their pretended masters to dis
pose of. $tern in that . manner. ; They
deny that the"Fugitive Slave Law" ap
plies to their oase,; and theywill not ac
knowledge the authority of their pur
chasers,, , It is a; case of .very clear re
bellion, and is creating a very intense ex
citement, not 'tinly in ' New York, but
throughout the' country. ! If the rank
and file, of a party are onqe permitted to
rebel against the authority of their lead
ers when transferred for a consideration,
they; are but little better than Black Re
publicans,; and will very soon be such.
So great a calamity must be averted by
some means, but those means are not yet
discovered in New York; U In France, or
Turkey, . or Congo, or Virginia, there
would be no difficulty in the casejbut in tbe
barbarous condition of the people of the.
North, such embarrassments will over
take the schemes of the wisest calcula
tors. ; And, until the.people can be edu
cated up to the plantation standard, we
know of no adequate remedy. . .
TUe Maine Election, , .
Which came off on Monday last, shows
that the Republicans have : been doing
valiant service in the canvass. Tbe fol
lowing are the latest returns we have up
to the time of going to press: r ". .. : , . ;
Portland,. Sept. 10. The election
for State Officers and Members of Con
gress rtook place to-day. The vote is
probably the largest ever cast in the
State.:, . -
Scattering returns, including several
of the largest cities and towns, show a
Republican gain, and indicate the elec
tion of the full Republican ticket by a
large majority.-:
Twenty towns heard from early in the
evening,: give .Washburne, Rep.,) for
Governor, 2,5.76 majority. .
Everything seems to' indicate a com
plete rout of Democratic sway in the
whole North. .' Three cheers for Maine!
B,D.-rN. -McKay, - Esq., one of the
Bell-Everett electors on the Bell ticket
in N. C., declare? his intention to support
Breckinridge'.' It seems that, the ditch
which - separates between the Douglas,
Breckinridge and Bell parties, is so nar
row that the faith fill of either fold can
jump from one 'to the other without call
ing for the ferryman. . ' ,
tgf"The Baltimore- Pafriosays: "As
things now stand, we. do not, believe it
possible to turn back tbe tide of success
for Lincoln and Hamlin in any of the
Free States.'.' And the Patriot uttera
our sentiments in its candid admission.
But we can stand it if the Patriot, can.
ome time ago we gave a commu
nication in the Telegraph in reference to
"Crary's Shingle Machine." Since then
we have had the pleasure of seeing- it
work. On a visitj a few days since, to
the establishment of J. W. Jones & Co.,
in Middleport, we saw it in. full opera
tion. If we had tbe, knowledge of ma
chinery requisite td do so, we would
give a full description of this wonderful
piece of mechanism. But we have not.
The perfect simplicity, accuracy and
rapidity with which it turns out the
shingles, is amazing. And it is no less
amazing that, of all the world's great in
ventors, none happened to reach the hap
py conception of this machine before.
Henceforth the name of our fellow-citizen
is coupled with the names of the
world's great benefactors of all ages.
Few inventions, we believe, are destined
to become more popular, or to do more
to add to the wealth of the country than
this. ' ' ;:'' ' . '
The wealth of a country consists in.
the products of human labor. The more
labor performed, therefore, the wealthier
a country will become. . Consequently
every invention which adds to the pro
duction of the labor of the country is an
acquisition to its wealth. And here is a
simple machine that will performlbe la
bor of twenty men, and, will do it better
than can be done by muscular power.
Every one of them erected, is, therefore,
equivalent to an acquisition of twenty
men to the productive labor of the coun
try. Sit. up one of these machines in
every county of the State of Ohio, and a
productive power is set in motion equal
to the manual labor of twenty additional
men in each county. And it cannot be
long before it will be introduced into
every neighborhood where wood grows.
We suppose the proprietors will sell
rights, but of this fact we are not in
formed. All who feel an interest in the
matter can see it in operation at the fac
tory of .J.JW. Jones & Co., where any
information in regard to the sale of
rights will doubtless be given. : Call and
see it work.". ''".."'
APPALLING DISASTER. OX LAKE
MICHIGAN.
Chicago. Sept," 8. -The.-steamer
Lady Elgin, of the Lake Superior line,
which left here last night, was run into
by the schooner Augusta off Waukegan,
at half past ; two . o'clock this morning,
striking her abaft tbe t wheel. The
steamer sunk, in twenty minutes after
ward in three hundred feet of water,.
There , were between three hundred
and fifty and four hundred persons on
board, among whom, were , the Black
Yagers and Rifles, and several fire com
panies from Milwaukee, who were on a
visit to $his city, .
Colonel Luinsden, of the New Orleans
Picayune, and family, also on board,
and supposed to be lost. ', :
At the time -.of the accident the
schooner was sailing at the rate of eleven
miles per hour. ' . ;';
" H. G. Caryl, the clerk, makes the fol
lowing. -'statement: :-" The- Lady Elgin
left the port of Chicago at half past
eleven o'clock for Lake Superior. -Among
the passengers were the Union
Guards, of Milwaukee, composing part
of some two hundred and fifty ex
cursionists from that city. About half
past two this morning the schooner Au
gusta, from Oswego, , came in collision
with tbe Lady Elgin when about ten
miles from shore. 1 The vessel struck
the steamer at tbe midships gangway on
the larboard side, the two separated in
stantly and the Augusta dropped by in
the darkness. At the moment of the
collision there was music and dancing
in the forward cabin. In an instant af
ter the crash all was still, and in half
an hour "the steamer sunk. I passed
through the cabin; the ladies were pale
but silent. There was no cry nor shriek;
no sound but a rush of steam and surge
of heavy seas; wether they were not fully
aware of the danger, or whether their
appalling situation made them speech
less, I cannot tell. - The boat was low
ered at once with -the design of going
round upon the larboard side to examine
the leak. .There' were two' oars, but
just at that moment some' person pos
sessed himselt ot One ot them, ami we
were left poweless " to ' manage the boat.'
We succeeded once in reaching ( the
wheel,' but were drifted and were thrown
upon $e beach at Wineteka. Only two

' As I stood upon the beacbAbpelessly
looking back along the routeweluad

morning, objects floa'ting upon the wa
ter, and sometimes I thought v human
being3 struggling with tbe: waves. .
.Signed H. G. Caryl,
. . .. . - Clerk of the Lady Elgin. '
No accurate list of the - number of
persons on board can be given, but ! the
following estimate ' is nearly correct:
Excursion party, 300; regular ' passen
gers, 50; steamer's crew, 35. Of these
but 98 were saved.
All the survivors unite in according
to Capt. Jack vWilson, the commander,
great praise for his bravery and dariDg
throughout. He was foremost in, con
fronting danger. ; He was drowned within
a hundred -feet of shore. Nearly one
hundred persons arrived within fifty
yards of the beach, but were swept back
by returning waves and lost." : ;
Up to - nine o'clock to-night only
twenty-one bodies were recovered, most
of whom have been rebognized by friends
as residents of Milwaukee. '.- '
Vermont Election.
The election in Vermont came off on
Tuesday week, and the returns show an
increased majority for the Republican
ticket of over Jive thousand votes. . - Well
done, for little Vermont! '
The Cincinnati . Gazette, of ! the 11th,
eaj ; '. ". . - ,
"In claiming a. Republican gain of
3,000 in Vermont, , our figures were
much too, low.. The reported majority
for Gov. Fairbanks, is 22,000. Last
year, Gov.- Hall, his Republican prede
cessor, had a majority of only 16,868.
This shows' a gain of over five thou

For the Homerojr Weekly Telegraph.
QTJESTICNS FOR HON. C. D. MARTIN
TO ANSWER.
' Ed. Telegraph: Inasmuch as'the
special political friends of Mr. Martin
say he shall not be orally interrogated
during his expected speech on the 17th,
as to bis position upon certain important
questions of public policy, I wish,
through tbe columns of your paper, to
ask his views upon the points following:
1. Do you, Mr. Martin, hold, with
Judge Douglas, that it is in accordance
with the "great doctrine of Popular Sov
ereignty" for Congrtss to make the Con-
stitutian or organio act for the people of
tbe territories, declaring wbat they may
or may not do, rather than to leave the
people' themselves to say what shall or
shall not be their organic law, while in a
Territorial condition? i .
2. Do you, with Judge Douglas, hold
that it is in accordance with the "great
doctrine of Popular Sovereignty," for
the President and Senate of the United
States to appoint tbe tovernor,bupreme
Judges, Attorney General, Secretary and
Marshal of the various Territories of the
United States, rather than to leave the
people thereof to elect tliem when and how
they please? - - 1;
3. Do you hold, with Judge Douglas,
in his speech in tbe U. S. Senate, on the
23d Feb., 1859, "that no such thing
AS SOVEREIGN POWER ATTACHES TO A
TERRITORY WHILE A TERRITORY; that
a territory possesses whatever power it
derives from tbe Constitution under
THE ORGANIC ACT, and NO MORE:" and
"that ALL the power that a Territorial
.Legislature possesses is derived trom the
Constitution and its amendments, UN
DER THE ACT OF CONGRESS."-
If so, please tell us what becomes of the
inherent right of self-government in, ..the
people of the Territories ,
4, The syllabus of the Dred Scott de
cision, that "every citizen has a right to
take with him Hato the Territories, ANY
article of property which the Constitution
of the United Slates recognizes as prop
erty." It further says that "the Consti
tution of the United States RECOG
NIZES SLAVES AS PROPERTY,
and PLEDGES THE FEDERAL GOV
ERNMENT TO PROTECT IT."
This you will admit is the decision of
tbe Court in tbe Died fecott case, so iar
as the right of the master to carry his
slaves into Territories is concerned, and
as to the duty, of the Federal Govern
ment to "protect it.
t .The "Wickliffe Resolution" adopted
by the convention which nominated Mr.
Douglas, affirms that the decisions of the
Supreme Court which have been made,
or that may hereafter be rendered, should
be ''enforced with promptness and fidelity
by every branch .of the Lreneral (govern
ment", ' i . .. .
Would you, as a Member of Congress,
vote to "enforce" the right of your con
stituents to carry and hold as property,
in ,the Territories of the United States,
their horses, cattle, &c; and if so, would
yon not vote to give the slaveholder tbe
same "protection" for bis slave property
that you would give your constituents
for their horses, cattle and household
goods? .-
5.. In your speech in Pomeroy, on the
26th August, leoo, you most heartily,
and without equivocation, indorsed the
Administration of James Buchanan j and

; THE WELSH AND POLITICS.
Editor of the Telegraph: Sir, by y our
permission I call the attention of my
countrymen to the present contest in the
political era of the beloved land of our
adoption. We bave lett our native land;
driven by tbe cruel hand of oppression,
and found an asylum under the wings
of the angel of Liberty: whoidescended
and dropped on Columbia's happy land
the wreath oi victory, ana stamped on
American freedom the seal of Omnipo
tence. ::.We rejoice to; find a habitation
wnere Liberty has erected her standard,
and her-banners are wafting triumph
antly in the heavenly zephyrs of human
equality. We rejoice. to behojd.the god
dess of Liberty enthroned in tbe zenitn
of her glory, and swaying her universal
scepter. r.iWe love Liberty; we love the
rights of man. And feel, truly grateful
that pur lives ..haye; fallen .among those
who sympathize with; the . downtrodden
nations of the Old World; under the iron
grasp of despotism. ,
Patriotism is next to religion in the
scale of moral obligation, and , the Bible
is the standard book in true politicsV
Infidelity and priest-craft are in close
alliance to degrade and enslave human
ity! 1! The principles of genuine Repub
licanism have always been 'deposited in
the living ; oracles. ,: This language was
even during the dark ages and through
the reiguf-of terror: "call --'no- man'' on
earth; your - master. i.And also:-"let
eack esteem; otheia better Iba n himself."
These amiable' qualities which Christ en-
jeiaekl-tt-fcis follower-embody-the first
principles of civil government. ' m v
Tbere has-i been a-: regular succession
of moral heroes, rwho! have contended for
these principles ever since the commence
ment of the christian era; and thousands
have sealed the doctrine with their blood;
but it was reserved for the i immortal
Roger Williams a native of . Wales,- and
the illustrious founder of Rhode Island,
to erect the. platform, unfurl the banner,
and bestow upon the world the ' inesti
mable boon of civil and religious: Lib
erty. On the 4th of July, 1776, it was
declared in glaring capitals that:. "All
men were Created equal." That was the
day of the political 'redemption of the
world. Despots view it with envy,?while
their thrones' are tottering under them.
All Europe is now like one political vol
cano,; ready to issue forth its destructive
eruptions upon the infernal oppressors
of mankind. The conflict of ages has
come to a crisis in the Old as well as the
New World; : ' ' ' ; -- 7'
- I hope that my countrymen will rally
in one unbroken phalanx at the coming
elections, and make their influence 'be
felt in favor of free labor, free homes, in-,
ternal protection; and especially to.vsay
emphatically to "our peculiar. instituT
tion:" "Thus far thou shalt come and no
farther." ... . ,-.,,'" ... .
, The Hon.-Mr. Sherman the other day
in liis superlative speech, appealed in a
thrillins: manner to the Irish, and, -the
Germans of. the operative, classes; vbut
probably he? never heard that sucb an
animal as a Welshman' had crossed the
hrawnv deeD. while there are Hun
dreds of the voters in this Congressional
District, of the line of Cambria. ,
I read daily tbe exultation ofGerman
papers converted to the true principles,
while we have Welsh papers which have
been fighting manfully on the side of
Republican doctrines from their organi
zation, left in utter oblivion! The Cam-
bro American, published at No. 102,
Center St., New York, by our indefat
igable countryman, J ohn M. Jones, Esq.,
has accomplished more for the advance
ment of the true doctrines in civil gov
ernment than fifty of some other jour
nals that are liberally remunerated for
their servile services. This paper circu
lates among thousands of intelligent
readers; still his labors of love are en
tirely overlooked by our leading candi
dates! He published at full length the
able speech of the Hon. Carey A. Trim
ble on the tariff bill, which was a mas
terly vindication of the policy of the Re
publican party.' ; '
With such standard bearers at tbe
head of our ranks, as Lincoln and Hor
ton, I hope the Welsh voters will be a
unity at the elections this fall. "United
we stand, divided we fall," is a true doc
trine; which has been demonstrated in
every single case. Both of the above
candidates deserve our hearty support.
They deserve our support for their pa
triotic views of civil Government. They
deserve our support for the philan
thropic operations of their eventful lives.
They are not those contracted misers
who heap up riches for their own sakes,
merely. Lincoln is one of the great pi
oneers and explorers of the great North
west, where thousands of our country
men have followed in his footsteps and
have found happy homes, and acquired
a competency. Horton is the great
moving spirit in all the enterprises of
this vast region. lie is the one who has
developed the inexhaustable resources of
our mountains and valleys,, and afforded
employment to the industrious workmen,
and ready market for the farmer. He
is the strongest of the two. If they had
hitched V. B. at the Wigwam in Chicago
at the bead we would have a stronger
team. For V. B. is the soundest ' poli
tician, the faireet patriot, the shrewdest
financier . in the whole country. In
1864 the people will place V. B. where
he ought to be now: at the head of the
general government. I take the respon
sibility of the nomination myself to avoid
the blunder and disasters connected with
greatNational Conventions. ..Fifty-three
cheers tor air. Horton ana tne ivepubii
can platform. -; Comeon,yebrave Welsh
men and give the enemy of our free in
stitutions the mortal blow. ; 'XDelta.

Messrs. Lovell-,& Payne:. ' ,i r)!-.. .
., .. Gentlemen-!-Your prop
osition to employ twenty men has in
duced us to hold a consulttiaon to con
sider our own interest in tbe matter.
We" cannot depart from our. established
rules without bringing certain ruin upon
ourselves. - .;, .
We think our past services have; not
been; duly remembered, or you would
have invited all your miners to partici
pate in what work, you wanted done.
But we will not here review the past. If
we committed any error on our side, ei
ther toward you or toward ourselves, our
object is to amend it. ,r ;
, We therefore propose to furnish you
with just what coal you want for ship
ment and home consumption, and in re
turn we want cash; pay ment thus giv
ing you coal fresh from the bank at the
least expense, and us the benefit of our
money. leaving you always to consult
your own interest as to whether you will
stock coal or not.
We also wish to state that, we would
prefer to have these propositions embod
ied in a contract and carried out in good
faith. Yours, respectfully, .
, The Miners of Mason. .
To the Miners o f Mason: ;,
The interest of .the Com
pany would be hest promoted, by laying
by for at least two months longer. Now
if the Miners will, in pari, bear the bur
den of these two months, it is likely we
can give work to those of you who have
families to support After the two
months have expired, we will then prob
ably be prepared to make different ar
rangements. It is not likely that for
tiese two months the work will be reg
ular and ; steady, especially at the com
mencement, as we have neither boats nor
barges ready to receive the Coal, It , is
to our interest as much as the7 Miners",
whilst we are at work, to turn out all the
Coal we can. , , .
Our proposition, therefore, is, to pay
you theusual price for minings and
those, whose work in the month amounts
to over $4Q, jo pay them $10 cash, and
the balance in goods ; those wnose work
in the month amounts to less than $40,
5 in cash, and, the .remainder in- goods;
and to those who can wait 'until the
Coal is shipped and sold,- all cash. .The
pay-day will be the bid pay-day of Lov
ell & Payne's r. the work to commence
on next Monday, We reserve to our
selves, the privilege of .discharging such
Miners as we wish to.;.-,, . '

'We are requested, by. many friends
from Hartford, Syracuse, Minersville
and Coalport, to call public attention to
the foregoiDg correspondence,, and ask,
is ii fairj manly, or honest, that we should
submit to a system that is. prohibited by
the laws of all intelligent nations, as un
just and oppressive to the operative, and
nigniy injurious ana. prejudicial . to toe
interest of the merchant, the farmer and
the tradesman? We feel that all are
more or less interested in our success;
and, as that depends, in a great measure,
on the support you may give, us, we ap
peal to your benevolence in our behalf.
Many of bur friends have already done
right, gallantly in. our behalf, and are
determined to share the last dollar with
us, rather, than see us flinch,, from
our position, and we are resolved, come
weal or eome woe, to be paid in cash
for our labor. ' ...
The truck system which has been
forced upon us for the last six years,
contrary to our agreements . and the
promises of our employers, to pay' us in
cash, and which they failed to do, time
and agaiD, until our necessities compelled
us to draw our wages in goods, has left
us in a very unenviable position, to make
a protracted stand egainst our oppres-
sors' but, tnougn our pqciceis are njim,
bur hearts are light' also, and with your
assistance' we shall be able to abolish
this oppressive system', which fetters the
merchant, paralyzes industry, robs the
workman of the profits of his labor, and
impedes the march' of progressed swell
the profits of employers and capitalists.
