Upon the nature of the answer wo ehall give to this demand depends far more than I8 now appuront, £ From the Cincinnats Enquirer,; The movements of tle labormg men in our groat cities, ke Now York, Cinclunati, and Ohiongo, are significant, Tho clsmor for labor is made by largo numbors of men in_the chiof contred of Luioss i tho country.
