 achusetts, on the sixth day of September," inst, 



This notice states that " A full representation 

 from the manufacturing districts is expected, and 

 the mechanics and laboring men generally will 

 send their delegates. 



"It is particularly desired that the farming in- 

 terest may be generally represented, since the 

 welfare of no one portion of our fellow citizens is 

 so vitally important to the general prosperity, as 

 "i that portion which is engaged in agriculture ; and 

 in the present attemjjt to better the condition of 

 the laboring classes, the farmer .nust lend his aid, 

 or nothing efferitual need be hojied for as a meas- 

 ure of generaf improvement."
