TO THE LABoRERs AND MECHANICS OF NASHUA.

 Fezlo,o Laborers and Mechanics,-Thesea are emphaticalIy Hard Times for US! may be well enough for the rich capitalist, who lives upon the eXorbitant interest which he is re- ceiving from those in embarrassed circum- stances, upon the rents which we pay him i; but it is sorely distressing to us who depend upon the s,ceut of the bro,D for the bread which snstains ourselves and in our families. A few months since we had employment enough our labor was in great demand, and com manded the highest price. Now we go about, almost begging for labor, that we may not starve! Some have even been glad to work for their bread and this state of things seems to be every day growing worse and worse those enterprising men, who once gave ilfe to business, and employment to so many labor ing men, are failing rapidly one after anoth- CT. and it is impossible to tell where these troubles will end.

 It seems that there are two great political parties among us--the Democratic Party and inc Whig Pdrtu. They both pretend to ac- count for this great distress; and as we me- chanics and laborers are not candidates for the loaves and fishes of office, and are not of- flee seekers but are free and independeu roters, it becomes us to sift both sides thoroughly and with candor and with mpartiality-lest in casting our votes, we should mistake, and vote against our own interests.

 We, the undersigned, having been in times past friendly to the administration of Gen. eral Jackson, have at length been induced by the present disasterous state of things, to ex- amne the subject fully /; and we have endeav- ored to do it fairly, and with desire to know the whole truth of the matter and notwith. standing our former prejudices, We have ar- rived 2: ::,,,- soiemn conviction that our pres- ent troubles are owing chiefly to the leading measures of the administration. We there- fore ask the candid attention of all our fellow laborers and mehanics to some of the more important reasons which have been satisfac- tory to us.

 And in the first place, we suppose it is per- fectly apparent to every body, that the peo- pie of New England depend principally up" on their manufactures for their prosperity While the Southern and Western States SUD- ply us with cotton and flour, and their vari- ous other productions, they depend almost entirely upon New England for their cloths, their boots and shoes, their hats, furniture, carriages. harnesses, and the ten thousand articles of Yankee ingenuity which are got up among us. Ncw-England is in fact the great worA shop of the United States, and has been successfully competing with old Eng land! It follows therefore that while we can sell these articles of our manufactures to the Southern and Western States, the times are prosperous-t labor of all classes of people will be in demand, and wages will be high. And it is equally true, that when the time comes that these articles will not sell, the con- sequence inevitably will be, that all manu- featuring establishments stop, and all their laborers and mechanics of course are thrown out of employment. The laborers of course find some other mode of subsistence, and con- sequently the price of all labor will be re- duced.

 Now, ifthe Government, by destroying the currency of the country, have rendered it al- most impossible for the Southern and West ern merchants to come and purchase our manufactures and our goods, is it not evident that MiS iS the reason why so many of our manufacturing concerns have been obliged to stop, and so many laborers have been thrown out of employment? We believe the following facts will convince any reasonable man, that the Government have thus destroy ed the currency, and have thereby mainly brought about these distressing times.

 Before the war was commenced upon the Banks by the Government, it was as easy to send money from Boston to New Orleans, or any city in the West, as it is now to send mo- ney from Nashua to Boston. The Boston merchant had only to pay his Massachusetts Bank Bills into the Branch Bank in Boston get his check on the Branch Bank in New Orleans-thus send his check or draft to New-Orleans by mail-and then his money was transmitted with all possible despatch, and without risk or expense to any party.

 But how has it been for many years back? It is an undoubted fact, that it has cost from ten to twenty dollars to send hundred dollars from one part ofthe Union to distant parts {: and that in many instances it has been i'm. possible to transmit funds at any price. And why has this happened, at time too when money has become comparatively plenty in all parts ofthe Union! We believe this to De the reason; it is because the bank bills of one part of the country will not pass in other parts. 1.-the Western merchant brings his Western Bank Bills to Boston, the Boston merchants will not receive them either for debts or for goods; for he knows nothing a. bout those Bank Bills. And it is notorious,
