SYMPATHR"IC ADDRESSES OF CLERGYMEN, APPREHENDED VIOLENCE AT LYNN, THE MULITARY ORDERED UNDER ARY3, te, &o, &o. THE STRIKE AT LYNN. [From the Boston Traveller, Feb. 23 ] Most of the compapy, during the ‘timo intor rening be- ‘tween the hour at which they began to assomblo and tha ‘at which they were to co-operate in a demonstration, di- vided up in ttle knots and engaged in conversation with ce other, fostead of occupying themselves with mor» irreguiar proceedings. Some of these conversation: merged into discustions, and oftentimes became quit exciting, attracting the attention of such outsiders as could help overhearing them. Among the crowd I noticed two intelligent shoemakers ‘who were deep in argument, pro and con, on a question relating to the merits of the case, had attracted seve- Fal hundred people to hear their diseassion. ‘What is the use,” said ono of them, who seemed to take an interest in politics, ‘of our making auch a fuss ‘about the slaves of the South? [tell you we are almost a8 much oppreseed as they are. In fact, in one seus: we are worse oppressed, for they don’t work 80 many hours week as we do, and they geta living, whilo most of us couldn’t live, with our families, if we couldn't get ‘trusted for neceegaries of life, which we never expect to be able to pay for at this rate.” His opponent seemed to hesitate,and a bystander put in, “We are worse treated than the slaves of the South, in every sense, 60 far as I can see.’” aia Yes,” said the first apeaker, ‘I don't know but wo ‘The second party to the controversy now spoke up with some earnestness: ‘You know, gentlemen, we are not a quarter as bad off as the siaves of the South, tuough we are, by our —— foolishness, ten times as bad off as wa Ought to be. They can’t vole, nor complain, and we can. And, then, just think of it; the slaves can’t hold mass Meetings nor ‘‘strike,”’ and we havn't lost that privilege yet, thank the Lord. (Load cheers.) First epeaker—That’s so; but what'll those privi- leges amount to, if they come to nothing? You see, gen- tlemen, the only superiority of our condition over that of Southern evaves is, we have got to manufacture ourselves, ‘Out of this strike. (Cheers.) Shall we fail, or shall wa ‘asser< our superiority over Southern niggers?

One thought that every paper that didn’t sub Bcribe to their principles ought to be hooted down and suppressed, ‘‘Let’s stop ’om on the cars,” said he, “and ifany of the ‘scultch’ gets into town, ‘hoc ‘em out’ and amake kinoiing wood cut of them.” “No,” said another, we shouid be worse than Louis Na- poleon, then. Let them print what they —— please, only ‘we can give 'em our opimion of ’em.”’ A third put in—“ Yea, but we have a porfect right not to take their ‘scabby’ papers, and that’s what we oughter do.” feb ers were here given for several Boston papors ‘dy the bystanders, and the Traveller received ita full share of applause, and one Lyon paper and one Boston paper ‘ome rather uncomplimentary hisses and groans.) THE CONTENTS OF A BOX INVESTIGATED. ‘The first demonstration of any note, after the strikers ‘had begun to collect in the equare, was caused by the un- loading, at the depot, of shoe boxes from the express wagon of J. F. Hancon, Assoon as the driver was seon Conveying it into the depot, he was completely bem- ‘med in by men who crowded up on all> The owner ef the bor appeared, edged bis way Gmto the throng, mounted the box, and cried out ‘ft the top of bis yolce, ‘ Them ain't shoes—thea’s carpenter's tools!” “0, 'you can’t fool us,” was the reply. The box was taken ont into the square, aa! Mr. Napoleon Wood,a prominent striker, smai! of stature, ‘but exceedingly energetic, mounted it, and addreseed the owner:— Sir, we are going to open this box; if it contains tools, we'll nail it up jast as it was before and put it back in the depot; if it contaius unmade shoes, we'll carry it back to the store where it, came from, for no unmannfac- tured shoes can gooutof Lynn’ (Loud choers.) The Dox was opened and the statement of the owuer verified. At was then taken back to the depot. WHAT THE BOSSES SAY. I embraced the opportunity ailorded by this adjourn- ‘ment, ia company witb a gentleman of Lynn, to visit seve- ral of the principal “bosses.” One of them, who is one of the largest, if not the largest manufacturer in the city, took me into bis lofts, and showed ms his stock on hand.’ ‘Two storeys of a large building were completely occupied with boxes and racks of shoes, many of which hai been for along time on hand. He eaid he was gial of the strike, £0 far as he was concerned, but he pitied the poor strikers, for he believed much misery would b2 caused ‘among them. He said he had been losing money for a rear or more. He bad no faith in the success of a strike, bat said when he could afford to pay higher wages he should do so. Another *‘bces’’ said he was $10,000 poorer now than he shouid bave been if he had not maonfactured a shoo for ayear. He also lacked confidence in ths strike. He delieved that the interests of the workmen and **bosses”’ were identica!, and the prosperity of one class was sire to be shown by the other. AN “INCENDIARY” LETTER RECEIVED BY ONE OF THE | “BOSSES.” In this connection we give the following copy of a ictter received’on the 17th iast., by Mr. Isaac Newhall, one of the principal bosses. It is a literal transcript of the orizi- nal, with the exception of the profane expressions, of which decency would require an omission:— . ‘The contents of this letter are not generally known in Lynn, though the fact of its reception and its purport have come to the ears of the public, But it is neediss to say that very few could be found, even among the moat ul- tra of the strikers, to endorse evan the threat waich tho letter contains, while the revolting language with which it is concluded is condemned by every individual who expreeses an opinion about it, as famous, The gource from whence it emanated is not and probably ‘will not be known; but certainly it was not contrived by any of the prominent strikers or by any well-wjsher to ee “Lynn February the 16 1860 493.

Meanwhile he carries his pistol in his pocket, attends to “the business of his store, aud walke the street as usual. A POLICEMAN ASSERTS HIS AUTHORITY. ‘At about balt-past one o'clock, officer Paifrey attempted to arrest a man named Parrot, who was intoxicated, Some of the shoemakers near reacued the man, and then ‘began to hustle about Mr. Palfrcy, crowding him from one place to another. He ordered thom to deaist, but his command was ineffectual, and he accordingly proceeded ‘to emphatise it with his ‘‘billy,’’ whica he lald about bim Tight and left, till he bad cleared a passage. ‘This little rencontre gave rize to a rumor that the officer had used his pistol, and this was comotimes exaggerated into an aseertion that one or two hal been hit, A waiter in an eating house was very sure of the truth of the sto- ry, and informed me, with tears in bis eyes, that tree or four bad been shot, and he feared “many more would be killed.” The facts were that the officer had no pistol on or near him at the time, and that no one was Lurt, even with the “billy.”?

At the conclusion of this little episode a meeting was organized in front of a shoe store, and speeches were made to the crowd by Messrs. A. G. Draper, Samuel Greene, Gideon Howard, Jr., of South Randolph, Alder- man Ouwmings, C. Bebes, and others. It was finally adjourned to the other side of the square, where a hogabead wasused as a rostrum. Speecues were there made by Napoleon Wood, Samuel Groen, A G Draper, Peter Doilivan, of Marblehead, Joseph Conner, Joseph W. Ingalle, James Dillon and A. Jackson. SECOND DAY. Lyny, Mass , Feb, 22, 1860. ‘The demonstrations of yesterday are being renewed with stil! greater zeal. There is a great excitement in and about the depot, occasioned by the apprebension of a ‘gcab,” who was detected by tho committes. Three thousand shoemakers surrounded him, and great fears were entertained by some that violence would be com mitted, though the leaders were positive in the assurance that no violence should be done, Mayor Davis has just been nerd the crowd, and advising them to let the “scab”? go. * During the early part of the forenonn the crowd was quite small, and a disposition manifested, in accordance with the remarks of one or two speakers, not to interfere ‘with expresemen. Mr. James Connor read a ‘ong addreas on the subject of the strike during the forenoon. SKETCH OF THE LEADER OF THE STRIKE, ETC. {Lynn (Feb. 28) Correspondence of the Boston Adver- tiser. The ecene presented in the streets of Lynn to-day has robably never been equalled in New England before. wigas it were dead, and riot and outrage walk the streets with impunity. ‘It is but the trath to say that there is no law here, or if there is there seems to be no- booy who bas the courage to enforce it for the protection of person or property. One of the fathers of the Corpo- ration, while actual highway robbery was being commit- ted before his eyes, could see no riot, and did not think the necessity of the case required the reading of the riot act, or even the sending for an efficient boly of police. After urgent persuasion @ despatch was sent, however, at a very lute hour in the day, for police from Ssiem aad Danvers, and the reply was sent back that Lynn had bst- ter take care of herself, or words to that effect. If ever riot existed anywhere it is in fall vigor here now. Up to to-day the movement bas not b2en accompanied by any scrious act of violence, but today the seed has sprouted, and if some decisive act is pot done by some authority there is no telling what the consequences may be. ‘The leader in this movement, as is well known, is Mr._| Alovzo G. Draper, who bas, for some reason, beer re- markably active in organizing the movement in Lynn aud im extending it to other towns, where the shoe manufac- ture is carried on.

WAIL, Secretary. A committee which had been appointed to visit Brook- field reported that there the shoemakers to the number of 600 bad held a meeting and taken tho first steps towards formirg a society, with the intention to strike at a fayor- able opportunity. After “Hail Columbia” by the band, the Rev. Mr. WALKER, & Baptist clergyman, took the steed. His address evinced a decited sympathy with the ettikers. He cloged by “hoping the strike would be successful in every sense.” A committee was appointed to take up a collection for the band. The reeuit of their labors amounted to $12 64. Gronce Sawiy, Eeq , being called upon, came forward and made # epirited speech, in which he tools ground with the unemployed. He was followed by Rev. Mr. Sarr, who; during the course of hie remarks, mate use of language ono would ecarce expect to hear from clerical lips. After further music by the band the Chairman read the following telegraphic despatch, which had just been re- ceived from Dover, N. H :— ‘The shoemaker of Dover assembled in Morrilt’> Hall, and filled it to overflowing Voted to strike ananimousiy. i ‘The despatch was followed by cheers and tremendous | applause. After the tumalt had ceased, the cbeirman re- marked that ‘this might account for the sudden disap- | pearance of acertain Mr. Durgan,”” which created much ; merriment. Rey Mr. Bapoock (Unitarian), of South Natick, next addreseed the meeting. {We understand that ths gen- tleman bag recently been denounced by his congregation because of his firm support of the operatives.) EH¢ made a stirring speech, thoughthe language used was not the moet refined. He believed the cause of the preseat move- | ment was pot on account of “supply and ‘that it was owing to the present system of trade, which | he denounced in strong terms. He also stated tha?in re- | Cent conversation wiih seme of the mapufacturers, they bad said that if they would drop one cent from the rates demanded they would aecede and agree to pay cash.

It will | be observed that thie strike is like others in this remarka. ble particular, that neither of the principal leaders, Mr. | Draper and his associate, Mr. Beebe, themselves belong to the clers of men over whom they have such adan- | gerous influence. The crowd uround Central square to-day has been as | fr" atas it waz yesterday, and much more noisy. Bad liquor begins to show its effects, and although: the se constituted police, calling themeelyes ‘‘the committee, are powerlees to prevent what by decent men and lovers of order would be called outrages. A fow examples of the truth of tbe statements made above, occurred in my preeence. ‘The City Marshal, Mr. Thurston, who, by the way, ia a good man, and would dowbtiess do bis duty if he was pro- perly backed, attempted to arrest a man to day, when his Pprieoner was rescued by the mob, aud upoa his arresting one of the reseners, he was set upoa by several hundred wen, ard barely eecaped with his life. During the scuflte, one highiy exeited ‘striker’ drew an ugly knife upon him, and but for the aid of another of the erowd, who struck the knife from the hand of the would-be assassin, the Mprahel would haye been badly wounded, if not mar- Shortly afterwards, Mr. Samucl Lord, a police officer, ‘was protecting a box which had been left in the railroad cpot, when the ery of “shoes’’ was raised, and the mob rushed upca bim and threw him down and crowded him | across the street, abusing bim in. a varicty of ways as | they went along. At last he crew his revolver upon the crowd and ibcy fell bask, preferriog to live a while longer rather than face such an argument. ‘At about hal! past three o'clock, Mr. (Captain) Conner, with about fifty mew, marched lato the equare and dis- persed. Some of this equad wore badges, aud othere were without them. Where they bad been or what were their plans of action, 1sould not learn. ‘As Floyil’s express wagon Was on its way to Weat Lynn with sume boxes of maicrial, the crowd attacked the | wagon, and taxing porsession of the boxes, carried them Lack to the shop whence thoy were originally taken. The superintendent of the workhouse started with his. i Wagon to take @ lot of goods to the institution to be worked up, When be waa ageailed by the mob, who-at- tempted to take his boxes cle. ith commendable energy aud coursge, he jumped upon his boxes, and drawing a revolver, cautioned bis assailants against car- rying out their purpose. It is hardly necessary to say that he was allowed to go on hig way without further mo- Jestation. At balf-part five o'clock, a bundle of material was Mr. Mosxs Eames, of South Natick, compared the posi- tion of employers and employed toa pair of rheers— — neither biade was of use witheut the other. He stated | that ag longas the ehears hung together the bosses would cut and grind with them until the rivet wore out; bat that now the noble men hesaw before him had knocked the | rivet out, and said to the employers, ‘grind up again-nad let us come together right.” He was quite witty in bis remarke, and strovgly advocated the movement. ‘Be was followed by Mr. H.-L, Bowker, who opened by Btating that a few such meetings as this, on the birthday | of Washington, would bring ou 2-premature resurrection | | of that ‘old gentieman.”” (Laugiser.) He believed this | | acontest for bread and butter, not for fashionable liberty. | He despised those who still work at the old prices, but a4- | Bitted that their sympathies were with them, and coun- selled his hearers to mark those men, that they reap none | | of the advantages of the strike uniees they joined with | them. He deprecated all use of force or assault, but he | did advocate moral euasion. He deemed the cause which |. bad brought on this state of things to be because the prices | paid to workmen had been so low that they could not afford te do good work; the consequence waa that a great portion | of the shoes made were thrown away, as they became use- | lees after very little use; this made leather scarce, and a | Tise in its price. other cause wee tbe makiog of 80 many sheemakers.

He denounced the practice of paying “ orders” for work done; advised them not to submit, until from sheer want; to ‘‘stick-to, ’ and demand the rates—cash and no orders, aad closed by wishing them success and triumph. Next came Mr. Save. Sresexs, who. is reporting. this movement for the New York Zeutung, He also spcke of the oppression of “due bill,” relatiag some instances that bad come to his knowledge. He made an attack upom the seized in the depot, and carried into Draper's room, op- posite the depot. An incident that came yery near leadiug to serious re- | sults occurred opposite Mr. Baffum’s store, in Exchange street. Mr. Philip Woodfin, an expressman from Marbic- head, started to retarn with a box of coffee m his wagon, when the word was given that he was about carrying | shoes out of town. A rush was accordingly made for the wagon, and Mr. Woodfin was dragged out into the mob. ‘The instant he landed upon the ground he began by well directed blows to scatter his assailants in every direction, oud ina few minutes had cleared agpace of some foot around him, £0 that be could ho did in words as well directed as were his blows, as ho expreseed a wich that he had had a revolver and ho ‘would have blown the brains of some of ’emout.” Ho accused bis opponents of cowardice, and used considera- bie “rough talk,” all of which was well received by tho owd. During the first part of this scuffle I was informed that a knife was drawn and woud haye been used but for the intervention of one of the ‘‘committee.”’ The crowd finally gave Mr. Woodfin permission to leave the town. In ibe early part of the afternoon several boxes of stock were sent to the depot from the store of Messrs. D.C. & C. Buifom, and the mob, as usual, made a rash for the wagon and succeded iu getting away some of the boxes. One or two of them were put into the baggage car and it was locked up. Soon an was made upon the car with a crowbar, for the pur; of obtaining the box, but through the intervention of one of the ‘commities” and one of the city police, the attempt was relinquished. ‘The above is a fair statement of the condition of things in Lynn at this moment. ‘A mee'ing was held this evening in which it was voted that meetings be he! wards, inatead of having @ gencral meeting in Central square.

H ) Patriot copies the fetowing extract from a letter of a Boston merchant to an acquaintance in the former city: “The great depression in the shoe trade at this time obliges us to curtail our bueinees as much agpossible. If it continues mueb longer ] bardly know what we shall do, and I don’t know where it will end. Too usual fluctua- tions of the trade are, probably. to some extent, the cause of it; but the grent cause is something else. ‘Oar great market, the South, is for the presout nearly lost to us. Our former large ‘customers there now either decline to make any purchases, or buy very sparingly. The reason is, the state of feeling there caused by recent events, to. wards the North. This agitation of the slavery question may be sport or profit to politicians, but I fear-that unlegs it ceases 80 as to aHow a change of feeling thore soon, it ‘will be death to us 80 far as our trade is concerned.” In commenting apon the above the Patriot well says:— “The black repudticans have been circulating Helper’s Crisis, with its statietics, to show how many productions and manufactures the South buys of the North. Bat it feems notto have occurred to them that theso statistics, while showing what: the South buys of the North, atthe faire time shows what the North sells tothe South, and how important tho’ South: is as a market for our produc tions and manufacteree. And when the idea hag been sug- geeted that it migh?’be injurious to us to lose 80 good a cus- tomer, they have scouted it as absurd, and havetold the Pe) here that the South cannot live without the North. jut now we gee and feel the result, and find that although | the want of our manufactures may be felt at the: South, et none the lees is: the want of its cps felt by us ere at the North. And when the proof thio result is made too clear for domial, the black republicans seek to avoid the conscquesees to their party as the cacse of it, by fine talk about “principles above dollars and cents.” All this is very well and safe for those leaders who have no sacrifices to make, but avail themselves of this agita tion to get votes to place themselves in offices ef hono and profit. ItisRafeto those large manufacturers als who can make up their losses or want of proftron th one hand, by proportionate reductions: in tho:wages o their workmen on theother. But the case is for diffe rent with the workmen themselves. They brve-na re sources but their ovn-labor; and the best wages are ne cesrary for the supporé and comfort of thermeelves an families.
