ship which they otherwise would do , and which is necessaiy to prevent the manufacture of Cut Fustians from bPing superseded by newly-invented and inferior cloths . We are glad to find that yon have considered these things , as such impressions cannot fea to induce you to amend our condition , even for your own interest in the continuation and prosperity of the trade . Bad cutting necessarily lessens the demand for flns descriptionof goods , asitmaterially diminishes the % eaHty and-durability of the cloth , and as we have before stated , and of which many oi jon are aware , bad pricesareina very manyinstances me sole cause of it . . : . -. ' ¦ -. ¦ We do not agree withseveral of von . thatour labour , Eke maay . others tilingsshould * only be considered
, as a marketable commoditv , and that every cutter ought to-be at liberty to dispose of his individual share , according to his own notions and necessities , because such a principle is fraught with incalculable miK-hief , and cannot fail to bring confusion and rum an our who le body .. It is the operation of this fatal princi ple that has broughtns to the stateof misery which we are now in , and whiclibnt tvoWg we have been ccrnpelied tc- encore . "Vliile we tsmainedindoseTifaoiuanri saca demanded ihesr . me price for his laiioor , -. v ? wi re iv . conifurtible circumstances , respected , by ••« rimi >! oye : a , an .

These have many opportunities of realizing considerable emolument , besides the regular rate of profits or wages ; and what they may loose in one day , they can often regain with the next , and sometimes withadvantaaei Bat this is not the case with mmsn cutter * . When a reduction takes place at spy one warehouse , the news is quickly carried to anether , andsoon ; and as but few of you are willing to pay a better price for Our labour than others are
paying , the reduction soon becomes general , and remains so , or continues sinking nntiLour condition becomes intolerable , aud we are compelled , either by solicitation , ( as in the present case ) or by combinative anJ contentions efforts to emerge from the degradation which we cannot any longer submit to endure . -Manafactarers , dealers , casual labourers , and many others similarly situated , may act upon their o » n responsibility , and yet Tn"i"fc "" a respect able station in society , because the nature of their occupations trill allow it ; but the workmen of any exteiudve trade must act in union with each other , or low wages , poverty , and degradation are the inevitable consequences . "
. We do not admire the principle of coercion any more than some of yon seem to do , although we have recommended it in our lonner address ; and in some instances may be compelled to put it into practice . TVe had rather it was otherwise—but unavoidable circumstances render it just and imperative a * it is impo ^ ible , from a variety of causes , for any large lody of workmen and their employers , to act with entire unanimity from mere choice . Unfortunately , in everybndness , there are a few individuals , vhose ffisposiaons , sotions , and necessities , compel them to act in opposition to the will and interest of the same calling ; and if these insane , inconsiderate , or necessitous persons were allowed to proceed in their own way , unchecked by such as are differently disposed , they would not onlymflirt misery on
thousands or then- fellow-workmen , but ultimately on themselves ;' as no nnilormky of prices conld be estaliushed under such auspices , however desirable it might be , both to the great bulk of the employers 2 nd the employed ; and hence arises the necessity for the majority of any extensive body of workmen controlling ^ the will and conduct of the minority , . both of their members and employers , by compelling them to submit to snch regulations as are calculated to procure happiness to the greatest numbers . - We are pleased to hear tuatsHj many of you have expressed your willingness to pay the list of prices whenever we- mayrequire it generally ; and that so few of yon- are doubtful as to the certainty of our obtaining it :: and ( to the credit of human nature ) that so veiy few of yon are inclined to eppose us in anr warfare against miser ? , and the cause * of
imoance and vice . ^ These few we intend to holdup for ^ ublicesecration , and if we do not make ihemblush for their nngentiemanly and inhuman conduct , it -lhaflbe because -they cannot redden ; -the continual practice of tyranny and meanness having rendered ti > em unfeeling , shameless , and incorrigible . We have assembled in generalmeeting . and agreed not to receive any work below the list of prices ( of which yon have received a copy ) after tte 20 th inst ; and we trprf , that as many of you as are favourable te our claims , wfll not retard our progress , or spoil our attempt by OTer-cautionsnpgs , or waiting one of another ; Remember , the means must be adequate to the purpose , or the end cannot be attained .

assessed taxes , and many other duties , were mostly imposed during the war to raise fighting money , with , however , an assurance that they should be repealed en die return of peace ; but a pretext has never been wanting for continuing these burdens on the public , year after year , from 1815 to the present time .

Human Happiness . — " I have lived , " says the indefatigable Dr . Clarke , "to know that the great secret of human happiness is this , never suffer your energies to stagnate . The old adage of ' too many irons in the tire , ' conveys an abominable falsehood . You oannotiavH too many ; poker , tongs , aud all , , keep them all going . " .- - ¦ -- - ¦¦ .-. ¦'¦ '^ -t- - ^ Pity a Poor Clergyman!—The clergyman advanced a few steps into the little garden , still smiling heartily ; ageneraus after-dianer colour on his ample cheeks ; his fine black eyes glittering cordially through his gold-mounted spectacles ; his hands thrust into his small-clothes pockets ; his professional-jack boots creaking harmoniously to his easy stride ; and the broad and half-peaked brim of
his still more professional hat , attached to its proper crown with silken cords and loops , in a mysterious kind of way . He was one of those reverend victims to non-payment of tithes , who , a short time before , had submitted to the legislature very touching pictures of their privations and sufferings under the new popular system ; and yet , upon this evening , at least , few outward symptoms of misery or .-stint appeared in his colloKeal figure or well-rounded features ; neither were his habiliments much the worse of the wear - nay , strange to say , he had gone to dine at his friend ' s house , that day , in a handsome carriage , drawn by two horses worth thirty guineas eac-b , leaving at home two other pleasure-vehicles * ,
with all appuitenance ? , for the use of his reduced family ; and it may sound still more strange to add , that , even during the whole fearful persecution , so vividly described in his letter to the Secretary in London , neither he nor they had ever wanted such slight indications of comfort . How other clergymen , of less active or tenacious habits , or of more yielding , if not more amiable feelings , ( and we are bound an j anxious to say that many such were and are to be found in Ireland , ) might have fared under the law of ' . ' passive resistance " " to tithes , is a question in itself ; we are only certain that the important per .-onages with whom we have now to do , seemed to have t-ndured or lost very little by the arrangement . —Tails ' Magazine .
Respect abiliy . —There is not a more ambiguous word in the English language than resjieelubility . It sometimes signifies wealth , sometimes intelligence , sometimes " pomp and circumstance , " sometimes integrity ; at one time it is applied to the man who has wealth , without intelligence , or " pomp and circumstance , " . or integrity ; in fact , it has quite a Proteus power , and has a most familiar intercourse with the lips of the multitude , high and low , rich and poor , the intellectual and the barbarous . Such is the variety of its signification- ' , that it is often impossible to attach to it any definite meaning . When any person baB a motive to praise the general character of-an individual , whose character , nevertheless , is in a number of particulars , at
best , doubtful , but hag one indisputable qualification , be hesitates not to call him a man of respectability ; The inverse circumstances meet with a similar trea » - ment , so that the indifferent character and the very bad charaeterwithbutone 8 aving ( solitary exception , are both respectable . Thus if a man were about to laud some friend , who was acknowledged to possess half a dozen good qualities , and ytt notoriously possessed one wry bad one , he would « ltnce all cavillers by merging the bad in the good , and calling the whole , emphaticall y , the eharacter of a most respecteblenian , or the indmd-al , a man of re . pectebility . Vfe have been led into the above remarks from having observed , of late more especially , the prodigal use whieh the Whigs and Tories make of the word respectability , applied . by them affirmatively in reference to themselves , and negatively in reference to all their political opponente . . Indeed . in thp
Whig and Conservative . ;» ocabnlary . Whi ggiwn Toryism , and respectability are convertible terms ! If a man inquires respecting the politics of some stranger , and he is answered " "Whi g or Conservative , " forthwith he must , by cangeqnence , bereipec ^ table ; or rather , if he be a respectable man ; be must needs be ' a- "Whig or a Tory . : The ' reverse "! of the proposition is applied to all Reformers . 'If an individual be not a respectable man , 'hecarinothfk Whig or a Tory . Such is the reasoning of the Whigs and Torie 8 througnoutthe kingdom ; and the observers of their conduct , in their speeches , in their , news papers , in their periodicals , , weekly , monthly , and quarterl y , will bear hb out in the assertion , that the Whi g and Tory , writers and speakers continually characterise the ' Radicals us men of no respectability , and themselves as men who , -in erery hamlt-t , township , and parish in the kingdom , itand out pre-eini nentlyasmeniffetpictability , < ' .
