We subjoin the pith and sub- stance of it. {t appears that a short time since, circulars were sent from this city, requesting the various printers” societies throughout the country to send delegates to a National Conveatien, held in Mew York, on the 2d of December instant. It is stated that on #e- of the short notice, only five States sent dele- viz: New York, New lersey, Peansylyania, aryland,and Kentucky, These delegates then and (here assembled, and drew up an address to the journeymen printers throughout the United States. It opens with the following ora the evil under w! rei “It is useless for us to disguise from ourselves the fact that, under the present arrangement of things, there exists a tual antagonism betweeen labor and capital. The tailors are involuntarily pitted soles the employers; one side striving to sell their labor for as much, and the other striving to bay it for as little, as theycan. In this war of interests, labor, of itgelt, standsno chance. The power is all on the other side. Every addition to the num- ber of laborers in the market, decreases their pow- er; while the power of capital grows m aratio com- mensurate with the increase of the capital itself. On the one side, the greater the number of dellars, the greater the ability to succeed in the conflict; on the other, the greater the number of laborers, the less the ebility tosucceed. Add to this, that wealth accumulates, on the one faster, as the laborers accumulate o1 and the utter impotency of uaorganized labor and faa warfare ogainst eapital is already mani- high the trade le: Subjeined is a statement of what has been done to remedy the evil:— “To remedy the many disastrous grievances aris- ing from thie dispanty of power, combination for mutual agreement in de‘ermining rates of wages, and for concert of action im maintaining them, has been reserted to im many trades, and principally in our own. Ite success has abundantly demonstrated ite utility. Ihdeed, while the present wages sys- tem continues ip operation, es an immediate teetion from preesing calamities, it is clearly the only eflecuve meas ich labor can adopt. So far as it extends, jestroys competition im the la- bor merket, unites the working people, and pro- duces a rort of equilbriam in the power of the coufleting parties.” The delegates however, think that a more extensive organization is required. They say:— “It appears evident that an extensive organiza- | tion, embrecing the whole country, would secure | to our | could be derived from no other source.
