GeHt eAneH,


have the honor to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your communication in behalf OF
County," The subject, TO which il refers,
is one of much interest, and am not sur
pl ised that you should be anxious 10 know
the sentiments of :he several candidates be-
fore you for legislative offices 10 relation to
it. For myself, L have no hesitation in
giving an aft native answer to both the
interrogatories which you have propound-
ed That era tical' and even profitable
change in the labor of the convicts in the
Penitentiary may be effected, so as not to
interfere with the industry and character
of the honest and respectable mechanics of
the State, do not entertain single doubt.
If so, then, all "honourable, lawful aLd
practicable means should be used for that
the Pen;:entiary, you are not as subject to
injury from an improper competition OF
prices as those of your brother mechanics

in its immediate vicinity; but you are even
more ii bile to have your feelings outraged
BY an unconscious association With its de-
praved and @dlsgraced graduates as they
VIII naturally seek for employment where
they are least known.


Iha. they should be thrown into your so>
ciety, 10 your injury and mortiication,
without any substantial public benefit, is to
my mind revolving in the extreme. have
ever regarded the ingenious mechanic,
who by his study and laoof is making new
Improvements In his art and without whom
civilization and refinement could not exist,
public benefactor, worthy to rank
side 5y side with the best aud noblest of the
land and, if many parents, who are now
indulging their children in the fashionable
inclination to join the already crowded pro-
iessions of physlc and law, would raise
them up to some honest mechanical trade,
they would be confernng blessing upon
them and service 10 the country. But
this is not TO be expected, if an honorable
trade, which years of patient application
are necessary to acquire aid intellect es
we'll as bodily labor TO prosecute successful
ly, is to be taught gratis at the Penitentiary
in return for violation of public morals
or an outrage upon private rights
Accept. Gentlemen. for yourselves indi
vidually ard the Association, VIII ch you
represent. my assurances of respect and
kind wishes


Yours &C.,
