DuMB « rton . Ro » d- : At the time tbe procession wfts leaving the Green , thefo £ ewing deputation , namely . Mr . Janes Moir , Mr . George Ross , Mr . John Gairdner , amd Mr . Jas , Jack ,-set oat in ft carriage to meet the patriots « a the Partick-road . They were joined by Mr . a * d Mrs . Collins and Mr . White , near the Wheat Sheaf Inn . The carriage was yet kept dose till Dr . M * D * oa ] L who was momentarily expected , ahoold anroe . It was surrounded by a easwd , * > 1 ia the highest degree anxious to know if tbe patriots bad srrwed . At last the head of the procession made its appearance , coming down the toad , and as the anxiety of the people was now raised to the highest fitch , it was deemed proper to open « p the carriage , thatthe thousands who crowded around fihouldbe
gratified by Ote sight of Mr . Cellins and Mr . White , who imawliitel y rose , and were receiTed -with a most deafening hurrah . The joyful note was taught npT > j the procession and the crowds who lined the road , and was heard rolling alongst the line till k * t in the distance , The head of theproeesBon having reached the carriage , the ranks « f * a » d right sad left , formingaetaar lane down the Buddie . A pause was still made in the expectation of Dr . M'Doo » 11 ' b arrival . All the while the spectators were crowding *© get a shake of the band of either of tbe patriots . Mr . White was unknown , bat Collins was recognised by almost « very ose present . Mrs . Collins was also toe object
OTmach merest . The females of Partick , many of whom had com * oat to see the spectacle , pressed forward to * hake £ uda with her and bid her welcome ioGWw . While the carriage was waiting , some of the females present came forward and treated the persons in the carriage to a glass of wine . Perceiv ing the anxiety of the females to get a shake of his hand , Mr . Collins at last good humoaredly exclaimed , he wished they had only one month , that he might kiss them all at once . This care rise to much laughier , and called for th another burst of cheering . Having waited a considerable time and Dr . M'Douall not making his appearance , it was deemed advisable to proceed . As the carriage bens to mava abiwlv
down the centre , the cheering commenced and ooniinned without interruption along the whole line , which extended about a mile a . md a half . All around . Sags were flattering in the gentle breere—hats and handkerchiefs were waving in thousands—the sun fihone brilliantly , all forming a scene of the most indiscribabVe grandeur . Frera the top of Cranstonhill the view was the most imposing we ever witnessed To the west the eye embraced the road to a considerable distance beyond Sandyford Toll , and presented one dense and living miss , the procession being marked oat by tbe long line of banners . On looking eastward , the view extended far along Anderston Walk , which presented an equally crowded appearance . As the carriage proceeded down the line , the rank * ckwodin the rear , and followed in the order in whieh
they had coma out . Near the summit of Cranston HilL Dr . M'Douall , whose passage had been fairly locked np by the enthusiastic throng , joined his Spends in the carriage . He appeared indisposed . Every window along the streets was crowded with people , cheering and waving their handkerchiefs as tiie procession passed . Prom the Goshet House at Anderston Walk , a beautiful view was had of one fast mass of human beings . From that point to the top of Cranston Hill , a distance of about half a mile , the ground rose with a gradual ascent , and displayed the procession and spectators to great advantage . It was one dark moving stream , and still it flowed onwards over the top of tbe hilL All the while the reclamations were of the most enthusiastic description . The procession was formed in the following order : —
Caf 4 ain Hater on horseback . Small banner , with the motto— " We welcome Collins and M'Do 8 aU , « he victims of Whig persecution . ' * Southern TJnkmBand . Burner , Witt ttxa inscription— " Remembe * Peace , Law , and Order : " and on the other side , " The Five Points of the Charter . " ThA Th « Mmh « faii ry . Tt . Tr .

The United Ltbooreis had also enrolled themselves as determoed to walk in the procession . It was universally allowed that the extent a&d appearaace of the preoesmen had never been equalled ance the great Reform Demoastrations of 1831-2 . Hiere were a great variety of new flags , winch , with those used apon previous occasions , formed by far the greatest number of banners that had ever been displayed in Glasgow . In this order the procession proceeded along Anderstoft Walk , -Argyle-street , np Hope-street , St . Tincent-Btowt . * aT down ^ ttBea ^ twet .

Th * gentleaMB , after wpeatedly bowing to the surminding tbemads , Uok thair ptoeei 04 the front of the pktfsmT - . MESTIHO OB IH » MUEBH . Whenifce last of the torooeesien was teen entering ^ he Green , the proceedinrs on the bastings were commeaced by a trumpeter giving three blaste , when the iamense assembly became comparatively calmed down . Mr . George Ross , the worthy treasurer U the Scottish Chartist Central Committee , and to the wtoefwifs ^^
Lanarkshire Universal Suffrage Association , then prtpesed that Otartist James Moir take the chair . This propoatioB was Hftanimously assented to on the part of the meeting , by three tremendous cheers . Mr . Moib said—My fellow-citizens , aad brother ChartistB , time would fail me to express to yon the gratitude I feel for tbe glorioas display of physical as well as moral power , which I now see before me . If I « an at all estimate your motives for thus aswmbhng together , I would fay you are here to < femand Universal Suffrage , nothwg lete—you are here to show your determination to persevere until it is rained—and , thirdly , to do honour to three of jour fellow-working men who have saffered in your cause . ( Yes , yes , and great cheering . ) My friends , we
have reason to thank God , that not one 6 ? these men who have been taken from your ranks to the dungeon , have been changed b y t ie improved prison discipline of the liberal Whigs . { Cheers . ) I hope this assembly will prove to tbe Whigs not only that we are not to be put down , bnt that such a mass of men are not to be disrespectfully treated . I hope the proceedings of this meeting , and a correct account of voar numerical strength will reach Finality Lord John Russell , and if be thinks his brick and mortar qualification bill shall be a final measure , we are here * o say it shall not . ( Cheers . ) Wo are here legally and constitutionally assembled , to demand our inalienable rights—to show to the world that we have willed our freedom , and that no earthly power is able to keep us from it . ( Loud cheers . )
we are here sober , determined , and united , and it is impossible that any Government can withstand a poople so accoutred . I hope that every ntan of you will now pledge yourselves vo act-the part ef special constables , and that you will use all your exertions to prevent any blackguards from exerting to riot or confusion . ( Cheers . ) Our motto is , to do injury to no man—to protect , not to destroy , property—but , at the same time , to demand and to obtain justice and cheap government . < Great cheering . ) I return you my sincere thanks for the honour you have done me in proposing me to such an honourable post as that of chairman of such a meeting of my fellowcitizens . ( Much cheering and waving of bats . ) The Chairman now introduced Mr . John
Gairdhbs , who also was received with much cheering . He said—My fellow-citizens and fellow-Radicals , it has fallen to my lot to move the first resolution . It pledges you to petition the Hon e of Commons for Universal Suffrage , Vote by Ballot , and Annual Parliaments . In the meantime , it is evident there is nothing left for us but to adopt this legal and constitutional method of making known our grievances and enlisting public opinion in our favour . It may be said that we are now the most popular as well as the most powerful party in Britain—but we find that we are not yet strong enough to effect our purpose . Petitioning , as a means whereby the people can at all times be assembled together to discuss their grievances , must be considered as
one very usexal method to advance our cause , and as such ought , in my opinion , always to be had recourse to . ( Cheers . ) Viewed in this light alone , I look upon it as a boon . Fellow-men , 1 rejoice because of this meeting happening as it does at such a period . Deputations to the British Association from all parts of the world , assembled in our city , have this day witnessed our . demonstration . ( Cheers . ) The Autocrat of Russia shall know of it . To the plains of Siberia f hall the sound of our cry for freedom be carried ; and even across tbe Atlantic our free brethren of America shall hear and rejoice . ( Cheers . ) When I see such a mass of human beings assembled to demand their ri g hts , and to claim the privileges of free men , my feelings almost overpower
me . 1 have now around me a mass of men who have perhaps saffered more—have been more patient under their Bufferings than any people in any other country . I have toe proof in tbo fact that such masses of men have assembled , and are assembling , in every part of the country , peacefully and constitutionally , instead of having used other and more energetic—more potent means to wrest ere this time those rights from our tyrants , of which they have so long and so unjustly deprived us . ( Loud cheers . ) We have proved , and will continue to prove , to the Government of this and of every other country , that we are moral men—that we are not so ignorant as we have been called—and that our intelligence has dictated this course to as . ( Cheers . ) This
meeting is so dense , bo tremendous , and so great is the pressure in the crowd , that it would be bad policy for me to keep you longer . I would say , in conclusion , let the knowledge' of this meeting go forth to the world—to Feargus O'Connor , and the other martyrs in their dungeons , and it will cheer them in their gloom . Let it go forth , that we are determined to agitate and never to cease our exertions until we have emancipated ourselves , and until we drive from under the feet of the present Government the rotten supports upon whicn they now stand . ( Much cheering . ) I have great pleasure in proposing the resolution for your adoption . Mr . Wiluam M'Lbod , of Gorbals , being introduced , was received with cheers . He Baid , I do not come forward to second this resolution in the
expectation that our petitions will meet with a better fate from the House ef Commons than they have done hitherto , but I consider it our duty to act the part of tbe widow with the unjust judge . ( Load cheers . ) I am convinced that all that we want to the ultimate success of our great and glorious cause is energy and determination . ( Cheers . ) If Chartists alone do their doty , even without the aid of the Whigs or middle classes , I am satisfied that we would prevail . After one or two other pointed remarks in favour of petitioning , Mr . M'Leod sat down amidst great cheering . On the motion being put , the show of hands was the nearest resemblance to a forest of anything we could conceive . The Chairman also called for all opposed to it , but not one Eelitary hand was held np .
Mr . Arthur O'Neil , lately Delegato for Lanarkshire to Birmingham , now came forward to move the adoption of the National Petition , He said I consider it unnecessary to 'draw your attention to all the points embraced in this petition . 1 confess , however , that I do not intend to lose this opportunity of making one or two remarks upon our present position as Chartists . AU of us must look with feelings of pleasure upon the exalted position—the influential position—the great power in our hands now , compared to the appearance we made at the commencement of this agitation-since we first assemble to adopt the Petition I now hold in my hond . ( Cheers . ) Notwithstanding that imprisonment , death , and the felon ' s chain , has been made
use of to pat down Chartism , we find that we are more potent than we have been at any former period . And not we Chartists alone—but in every quarter of the world has the cry for freedom been raised . The Radicals of France , Spain , and Portugal , are moving ; and in America , the Democrats are fighting the battle of gold ag * inst paper . ( Cheers . ) The patriots of the whole world are now up for emancipation to the enslaved ; and , if we look to the present position of parties in Great Britain , we have reason to believe , that the day is not far distant that will see the oppressed of this country relieved of their galling chains . At the Whig dinner at Ayr , one very eminent and influentialspeaker declaredthat
with-, out the support and countenance of the working people , they could not longer remain in power . He ( Mr . O'NcIl ) rejoiced that the people . ware now possessed of so much power , that the puttingia or keeping out of the Government depended upon their influence . The Chartists have now begun to shake over the heads of the Whigs , the fear of the Tories supplying their places ; and , in fact , even as electors , the Chartists have the power of turning the scale at electionsand that power , he trusted , they would exercise uponall occasions . ( Cheew . ) After reading a few of the most pithy clauses of the petition , Mr . O'Neil concluded amidst cheering , by proposing its adoption .
Mr . Melville , from Markineh , Fifesbire , seconded the motion . Brothers in political bondage , it is with no ordinary feelings I rise to address such a large and respectable assembly , when I consider the purpose for which you have been convened to express your determination to obtain the realization of those great principles of truth and justice for which , for two years , we have been struggling . ( Cheers . ) You have tnis day given a proof that the same love of liberty that actuated your forefathers in former times , still actuates yon—that however much our oppressors may exert themselves to crush liberty and the spirit whieh incites it , the feeling which tells man he has a soul , and is fitted for higher and better things , and can dare to think
- himself intelligent , will lead him to use all his exertion to put down the system and the men who now enslare aad oppress the industrious and intelligent masses of this country . ( Loud cheers . ) Although our first petition did not meet with deserved atteation , that is no reason why we should not persevere in this and every other means of making known oar grievances , and badgering the Government into acceding to our views . They thought that Chartism was annihilated by their persecutions , but , oh ! mistaken men , they may as well think to extinguish the great luminary of the universe with their hands . Our principles are indestructible , and cannot he annikUaied . ( Maeh cheering , ) Mr . MelTflle ©• Deluded by seconding the petition , which was pat t » tjbo meting , and , like the first resolution , was aaaaimoosly adopted .

It ww ft doty of whfcb fie well , fidght feel proud—U present tiM Md ** of tbe saea of Glasgow to theiraweh respected patriots , ftQiaft , M'Douall , aad White . Bit however well th * people of Glasgow might speak ^ their sentiments thrvugh the medium ef an address , the scene exhibited « t that moment Wore them moeke * the Vain effiartet jmy homftBilsBgoege . That meeting was the hestlesVef the # 5 O Glasgow ~ -that was a display of numerical strength ; ef ^ e tal determinatiea which admitted of no misoowtruetion—which
spoke in laagaage that eonld not be mistaken , the feelings , the sentiments of the people of Glasgow . Yes , gentlemen , look around yon . let your eyes rest apen those thousands of upturned faces , and read in those ewes the devoted attachment of a grateful people , who . bail you as their country ' s deliverers CCheen . ) Yes , there were the met * of Glasgow in their own persons , with their own voieea to render up that homage which your talents , your virtues , your labours , and your Bufferings deserve . Let that vast assemblage give you confident assurance that the flame of Chartism burns with unquenchable vigour in Scotland . That assembled multitude proclaims the important truth ,
" Tbey never fail who die In a good cause ; the block may drink their gore—Their heads may sodden in the sun , their limbs Be strong to castle gates or city walls , Bat still their spirit walks abroad , " ( Loud cheers . ) Yes , gentlemen , your spirit—the spirit of ChartiBm walks abroad , and with giant strides is overspreading the land . ' The mark of its footsteps are every where visible , indefeasibly stamped on the minds of the people .. Nor did the Government of Great Britain , though they sent a Frost across the ocean , though they cast a Collins , & Lovett , and a M'Douall into prison , arrest the or ward flow of just and righteous principles , which will ultimately sweep every vestige of oppression into a deserved oblivion . He would now read the address with which the men of Glasgow greeted their arrival amongst them . ( Cheers . ) .
Mr . Jack here read an excellent address in the name of the citizeus of Glasgow , to Messrs . John Collins , George White , and Dr . M'Douall . In hinding them that address , he gave them a > memorial which would be worth preserving from ih ^ eireum-Btances under whieh it was presented . He cooW assure them that from the sentiments Jt breathed ^ he men of Glasgow would never depart . They ' were wedded to Chartism—bound to it with strong bands of » virtuous determination , and they would pursue that course through good and through 'bad report , tnrough life till death . " We must renounce all aim * except the one , We must purtue no passion but our purpose , We must behold no object bnt our country , And only look on death as beautiful If the sacrifice ascend to heaven , And call down freedom on our land for ever . "
( Great cheering . ) When the cheering had in some measure subsided , the Doctor , who had been complaining of sickness , said—My fellow-countrymen and brother Chartists , I feel myself safe at all times in addrdssing a body of my fellow-countrymen—but more especially my brother Char tists ; but I am sorry to say I overrates my strength in struggling with the Whigs , for , I must admit , they have gained a temporary victory over me . 1 am here , however , although comparatively weak in body , yet strong in spirit , to thank you for the splendid display you have made to-day , and for your exertions m times past . The display you have made to-day , is one well calculated to revive the droopinc spirits of tbe imprisoned martvrs .
and Bttll more cheering to those who are liberated . ( Cheers . ) It is well calculated to give health and vigour to the spirit of the movement , and to reanimate the souls of the released friends of the cause of right and jaetice . ( Cheers . ) Sinice my liberation , I have attended twenty-seven meetings , and have been welcomed by millions of my fellow-countrymen , but none of them has surpassed the display made by the men of Glasgow . You see , my friends , the very elements are combined in our favour . You see the sun in all his splendour shines upon our proceedings . ( Cheers . ) I would have you , my friends , to go on as you began , and abide b y the course you have chalked out for yourselves . The Whigs may imprison , but they cannot subdue , the spirits of the patriots . I
am glad that your brethren in England have given the lie to the prophecy which Baia , that Chartism was dead , and that you have held out your hands across the border , saying we are for the Charter , the whole Cnarter , and nothing less than the Charter . ( Cheers . ) The imprisonment I havo suffered , instead of keeping me back , . has strengthened my resolution to stand by the Charter , even unto the death . ( Load cheers . ) I am resolved to go onhaving your confidence , and that of the working men of the two countries . Only two things can put me down—death or the gaining of the Charter . ( Tremendous cheering . ) 1 am resolved to pay the Whigs back for their kind attention to me . ( Laughter . ) Those prisons in which are immured
the Chartist victims , I look upon as universities for bringing upyobng students for the advocacy of the Chartist cause . ( Cheers , and laughter . ) All things are working for our good . Even York and Cheater castles are made the instruments for good to this movement . Let us have , then , in addition to these aids , an extensive and determined organization in both countries . For it is clear that the moment the Government see you are strong enough to take the Charter , then , and not till then , will they grant it . ( Cheers . ) When yon have wrought upon their fears , obedience will take the place of fear , and then you have the prospect of the speedy success of your cause . That little drizzle of rain which is now falling cannot mar the beauty or the imnosine
grandeur of this scene . I can compare it to nothing so apropos as the tears of the Whigs , ( Much laughter , and great cheers . ) I rejoice , my friends , that , by your enthusiasm and your numbers 'OB have shewn your determination to stand by this cause . I know that when Scotsmen have determined to go on , no power ean withhold or make them turn back . ( Cheers . ) For myself I may say that , although my body is small , the persecution of the Whigs will not cinsh the spirit or relax its energies . ( Cheers . ) As I will have an opportunity of addressing you in the evening , I will not take up your time further , but conclude by proposing three cheers for Feargus O'Connor and the imprisoned Chartists . Need we say this was given with right good wilL The cheering was absolutely deafening .
Mr . White being introduced by the Chairman , was received with great cheering . He said—Brother Radicals of Glasgow , I will not call you Radicals , for the Whigs are now beginning to call themselves by that name . Need I say whatever name they adopt , so long as they maintain the spirit of Whiggery , I will call myself and fellow-Chartists by something else . ( A laugh . ) I feel delighted to see the spirit you testify—f feel astonished when I look upon the mass of human beings now before me , assembled , as you are , only to do honour to two or three persecuted men . We are possessed of neither riches , standing , or great influence in society , but imbued with Chartist principles , and determined to carry them out , yet it appears we
possess a power which can strike terror to the hearts of tyrants , and bid them defiance . ( Cheers . ) Here Mr . White alluded to his own treatment when in prison , and after some severe animadversions upon tbe conduct of Fox Maule , he continued—With respect to the oauses which produced this agitation , I would be disposed to date its commencement with that of the first commencement of Trades' Unions . The workmen found themselves , in many cases , with scarcely as much wages as would enable them to drag out an existence , and they commenced to unite and to oppose those Unions to that of the wealth and power of the capitalists who were combined to depress and put down the labourer . Finding they had no svmoathv from the
Government nor the middle classes , they had no other resource bnt to demand good and cheap government : And , my friends , need i ^ tell you , Chartism means plenty to eat and drink ,-plenty of clothing , and every comfort to the man wfeo is willing to work for it . ( Cheering . ) You know these things , and your presence here to day demonstrates your determination to bring about those changes which will ensure these things aa speedily as possible . After some severe animadversions upon the Whigs for their ingratitnde and dishonesty , and npon the conduct of the Corn Law Repealers , or Houaehold Suffrage men of Leeds , Mr . White concluded by passing a higheulogium upon Mr . Feargus O'Connor for his care and attention to himself and family while in
prison , and sat down amidst tremendous cheering . Mr . John Collins now came forward and was met by the most enthusiastic and vociferous cheering we ever heard . When the applause had in some mauner subsided , he said , men and brethren , you have heard expressed this morning * he high gratification that fcw been felt by the different speakers who have addressed you , those feelings having been caused by the magnificent display you have made of your numbers , your Bpirit , and your determination . I am free to confess , however , my feelings are not those of unmingledgratification . ( Hear , hear . ) My Heart bleeds when I contemplate the great and magnificent spectacle you have made to-day , when I reflect that that spectacle is caused by your misery
nnif Hmn £ aI * . Malm . _ . _ . _ « v ** . ¦** . - . I andwretohedneBs-when I reflect that for eighteen centuries Christianity ha * been established , and that it has been proclaiming the principles of love and human brotherhood—and when I reflect that millions of money are wrung from the blood and bones and sinews of the people of this country , to keep up a bodyof men for professing to teach those principles -and yet reflect that slavery , degradation , and bondage is Been and felt around us , and that man OW rivetted the shackles of slavery around the feet of Mg brother , and that you are Buffering th » effects of injustice , and tyranuy , and oppression—I am led to consider the position which you hold as slaves in bondage , and to regret that tnese things are so .

( Load cheers . ) When I reflect that your workahopaand factories are made the prisons of thousands
, and when I reflect upon your toils and sufferings , my heart is almost bursting . Compelled to look upon half-fed , half-clad children , I am led to exclaim—Will those , whose active benevolence has made them traverse the greater part of the habitable globe , through deserts and perilous scenes , to humanise the heart of man , ana to obtain his emancipation , shall they overlook the slavery and destitution at home—will their eloquence and their philanthropy not be extended or exercised , to put an end to the slavery existing in the workshops of Great Britain ? ( Hear , hear , and cheers , ) If they would not do so , then was it left for him to lift up his voice against corruption snd oppression , that they might be enabled to remove slavery from the

Reference has been made to America by previous Speakers . When we reflect that America has . for the last one hundred and ^ fifty years had her population increased , by living vice and poverty transplanted , from all the Wro / es of Europe—and when I reflect that aU those hare been admitted to the rights and privileges of citizens , and that America ha 8 elected men to conduct her councils , not to bio surpassed in any of the Governments of Europe—that the arts and sciences ptogress and flourish aniongat them , while vice is not respected for its pedigree , " then I am led to

But , recollect slavery ib not the result of Democracy—it is like the factory system in England—the result of kingly dominion and olats-legislation ; but even that evil is fast sinking out of sight , and , I trust , never more to be revived . ( Cheers . ) I beg to Jaflsure you that it is not in the power of the Whig Government—let them trample upon the rights of humanity as they may—if , then , it is not in their power to prevent the dissemination of the same righteous principlesthen it is not in their power to put a stop to the progress of the principles of the Cnarter . ( Cheers . ) No ,
my friends , our hearts are set upon this object , it is calculated for the happiness and prosperity of society , and knowing that we have tne blessing of God upon our labours , we shall go on until success crown our exertions . From the dense pressure of the crowd , I think it would be cruel in me to keep you in this uncomfortable state much longer ; I would remind you , however , that we must take care not to be drawn from our purpose by any of the maneeuvres of our enemies . Wlien we commenced this movement , they pretended to say that we were too ignorant—too contemptible to deservo notice ; and great care was taken to have all our proceedings burked , so fur as the press was concerned . But we became powerful—we gathered
ogether such a mass of public opinion that we forced attention to our Charter—something was necessary to be done . They first tried the effect of their blue-coated gens d ' armes , then their riflcbrigadfig , &c , and , having failed in these means , dey have got up associations for the repeal of the Torn Laws , for Household Suffrage , and on the Foreign Policy question . ( Hear , hear . ) Now 1 ean tell you plainly , that if you mean to trot after any of these vagaries , you may be assured that John Collins is not the man to go after you . ( Laughter and cheers . ) So soon as we get possession of political power , or of the House of Commons , we can treat the Foreign Policy and the Corn Law question as they deserve . If wo had the
Charter , however , and nothing but the Charter , I am satisfied we would bo no better off than we are . I advocate the Charter , that we may be put in possession of the power to put an end to those obnoxious aws which have enabled a class so long to legislate for themselves at the expense of the masses . Fadvocate tho Charter , because I look upon it as a tool whereby we may remove the bad laws that oppress the people , and at the same-time preserve those which shall secure the rights and property of all classes in the country . ( Tremendous cheering . ) Mr . Collins concluded by saying , he hoped he would lave an opportunity of addressing them at greater length upon another occasion , and sat down amidst prolonged cheering . Mr . Matthew Cullbn next addressed the meeting in favour of the last resolution , which deprecated the Whig prosecutions , and pledged them never to relax their exertions in the canse of the Charter until they were successful . He spoke with his
accustomed ability , and was received with great cheering . ' One of the Scottish Delegates , in a very able speech , seconded the motion , which was put and carried unanimously . On the motion of Mr . M'Crae , of Kilbarchan , seconded by Mr . Crockett , it was agreed to transmit the petition to the House of Commons , to the care of Mr . Wakley . Tbanks being voted to the Lord Provost and Magistrates , also to Captain Miller for his valuable services , and to the Chairman , the meeting broke up , giving several rounds of cheers for the Charter—Feargus O'Connor—the imprisoned Chartists ; also three groans for the Whigs , the immense mass then began to break up , and marched off in divisions , beaded by their different bands of musio and banners .

QBANS 8 OIBEE . At half-past Bix o ' clock the doors of the Chartist Christian Church were thrown open for the admission of those who had been fortunate enough to secure tickets for the soiree . The church is capable of accommodating above 1 , 200 persons , and before seven o ' clock it was completely filled by a most respoctable audience . A platform was erected in front of the pulpit , with tables and seats for the accommodation of the illustrious individuals in whose honour the soiree was got up , as also to accommodate several members of the Committee . On the front of the galleries were suspended portraits of O'Connor , Dr . Taylor , Dr . M'Douall , Collins , Frost , Andrew Marvel , General O'Connor ,
and many other illustrious men who had distinguished themselves in the present and former agitations for liberty . A plate of the Convention was suspended in front of the pulpit , and above was a beautiful framed portrait of John Frost , encircled with wreaths of roses , the property of the Radicals of Bridgeton . The Southern Union Band was in attendance , and enlivened the proceedings with their stirring strains . Shortly after seven o ' clock the chair was taken by Mr . W . C . Pattison . On the right of the Chairman was placed Dr . M'Douall , and on the left Mr . and Mrs . Collins . Immediately behind sat Mr . White , supported by Mr . George Hobs and Mr . Hillons , of 'Greenook . Thereat of the seats upon the platform werj } occupied by several distinguished stranfferj ^ and
members of the Glasgow Committees . On the patriots making their appearance upon the platform , the audience rose from their seats , and hailed them with three times three cheers , and waving of hats and handkerchiefs . , Silence having been procured , the Chairman called upon Mr . Malcolm M'Farlane , who commenced the proceedings by asking a blessing . The company then partook of a very handsome tea , after which Mr . M'Crea , from Kilbarohan , returned thanks . The band then performed , in excellent style , Rousseau ' s Dream . ' - ' Female deputations from the Calton and Mile-end , and the Gorbals , Female Universal Suffrage Associations , and from the oity , were then introduced to tho meeting , and took their place on the platform
amidst renewed and most enthusiastic cheering . Mr . W . C . Pattkson . then roae and said , he certainly felt a little awkward in the situation into which he had been placed . He saw around him many individuals who were far more able to fill the chair at that great and enthusiastic meeting than what he was . ( Cries of " No , no . ") He saw many individuals around him of the middle classes , one of whom he should have liked to see filling the situation which he then occupied . He ever liked to honour those persona of the middle classes who came amongst them , because it was very few of them that did so —( hear , hear)—and he should have
liked to have seen one of them filling the chair . ( No , no . ) He believed it was not from any 'ability that he possessed that he was called upon to fill the chair , but because he belonged to the working classes , and was one of themselves . ( Cheers . ) Every one knew that the navigation of the Atlantic ebulc now be accomplished in a fortnight , and that the distance between Liverpool and London could be gone over in seven hours . That was owing to the rapid march of improvement in the arts and sciences . But there was a far greater improvement taking place , and that was in < fce intelligence of the working classes . They were aajridl f Winning to

He tawwthatmany of the Whig and pretended Radical
journals , at tne commencement of Chartism to the Government refusing to repeal the Corn Laws ana other unjust enactments which weigh io heavily upon the industry of the country . But he wa * disposed to take a higher stand for Chartism . It emanated from the > eople progressing in a knowledge of their true condition , of a knowledge of those rights and privileges which , as men , they ought to enjoy ; and was he not cer tain that this was the case , he should have little hope of the ultimate euccess of the present agitation . But its continuance up to the present time convinced him that knowledge was spreading rapidly amonget the people , and that they saw their only hope of redemption consisted in procuring a Reformed House 01
vommonu . vu > ua eneere . ) The Attorney-General , at the time the Government raised its hand to crush the people ' s agitation , gave utterance to the declaration that Chartism was dead ; bat had he been on Glasgow Green that day , were he in that house at that moment , he would see undeniable evidence of the fact , that Chartism w * b still living Uid Strong . The fait was demonstrated W the manner they bad come forward to welcome their friends from the grasp of their tyrants . Those men had been imprisoned like felons ; but the people that day had declared that , however black ft persecuting Government might brand them , they wero still pure and Untainted in the eves of the people . He did not require to enter into any detailed particulars
resoectmg the characters of those men . Why , all knew John Collins —( loud cheers)—honest John Collins—( renewed cheere )—who muse be styled the father of the agitation . ( Cheers . ) He could not look upon that individual , but as John the Baptist in the Chartisti agitation . ( Tremendous cheering . ) Another Vr ri ! £ l bo be WKo 4 to bring before their notice was Dr . M'Douall . ( Prolonged cheering . ) He could say nothing as to the Doctor ' * private character—he knew nothing of him but what was known to them ail . But he waS' satisfied that if it was for nothing else than the splendid defence he made on his trial , that wo « ld endear him to the hearts of all . He had but * few : words to say respectingtheotber gentleman , as they were all anxious to hear the patriots speak .
He had 10 allude to Mr . White . ( Cheers . ) He came amongst them backed by the recommendation of Feargus O'Connor —( cheers ) -and he was satisfied tkaCvris sufficient to make them receive Mr . White with open arms and glowing hearts . (" Yes , " " yes . 'V They had all suffered in the cause of freedom , but now they stand free and emancipated from the thraldom of their relentless persecutors . He trusted those men would continue to advocate those principles , and that their lives would be long preserved to reap the glorious harvest from the seeds they had sown . Tho harvest was ripening , but tho labourers were too few . The Charter had got little assistance from the middle classes—it was carried all on by working men , who had to toil bard from
morning to night , for their daily bread , and would not , therefore , be expected to spend a great deal of time or money in the agitation . It was a , wonder to him that Chartism presented the imposing appearance it did . for he knew it had been carried on from the commencent , with a few honourable exceptions , by working men alone . Yes , yes . Christianity , philosophy , justice , morality , all demanded that they should move actively and zealousy in the present struggle for freedom . ( Loud cheerB . ) Before 8 lttiug down he thought it proper to say a few words respecting the introduction of certain individuals who had come forward to present certain tokens of their respect to the strange gentlemen . ( Cheers . ) He knew that the females were maligned , more
perhaps than any other party , for taking a part in politics . He did assure them that the position which females ought to occupy , wa 3 the duties of home and the family circle . But , under the presenl system of legislation , instead of being allowed to remain at homo , they were forced to go and toil in the factory for their existence—( hear)—and that education eo necessary to fit them to perform the duties of wives or of mothers , having children to bring up , they were deprived of having neither time nor opportunity to acquire it . And had females no right to interfere in questions so immediately affecting the happiness of themselves and their children ? ( Cheers , and cries of "Yes . ") He might Eay that the interference of tho femalts in the
present movement , was not a political matter , it was that they might be educated , instructors of the rising generation , and to reader their physical condition more Comfortable . None had so much influence over the child an the mother , and it therefore behoved every female to exert herself till their rights and privileges were obtained . He believed it was under those feelings that the females came forward to honour the men whp bad advocated tho 3 e rights and privileges , the attainment of which- would emancipate both men and women . ( Loud cheers . ) They need not expect emancipation from the present Government . ( Hear , hear . ) No ; that Government had rejected the petitions of the very men who maintained them in office ; and the middle classes
were beginning to discover that without something like a progressive Reform , they would soon be involved in the same difficulties as the working man . Religion itself urged them on in the agitatien for the Charter . He felt often sorry to see Christians sitting down at tho communion-table , and acknowledged all to be alike , and yet , at othfer times , exerting all the powers which God and nature had given them to oppress their fellow mortals . If tho ministers of religion and the members of the churches would but imitate the example of their Great Master , they would assist in the general cause . But he was sorry to say that those men wore the greatest barriers that stood between the people and their rights . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) He contended
that the clergymen were the greatest barriers to civil liberty which the people had to encounter . ( Hear , and cheers . ) He did hot mean to exhibit any vindiotive feeling against the clergy as individuals—it was the craft , not individuals—principles , and not persona , was what the Chartists contended , and in this they had a mighty advantage over their opponents , who thought by sneering at the persons engaged m the Chartist agitation it could be put down . He knew that there had been errors committed by individuals in the Chartist agitation , of which the enemy had taken every advantage . The Chartists were denominated revolutionists—the aptellation was correct—they were revolutionists , but so also were the Com Law repealers , and every other party desiring a change . ( Hear , hear . ) The Jhartists wanted to revolutionise all those things
but they wished to alter them in a peaceful and constitutional manner . He hoped they would hot depart from the principles to which they were at present attached , and ne hoped the day was not far distant when their eyes might look far over the country , and no traces of tyranny be visible . He f new that their principles would triumph , for he had faith in prophecy , and had read in bis Bible that the day would arrive in which every man would worshi p under "his own vine-tree , none daring to make him afraid . " This was figurative , but it was so plain as to be understood by every one . It stated that the physical condition of the people most ultimately be bettered ; for morality or justice could never triumph till men were raised higher in the scale of society as physical beings . He would not detain them longer , but conclude with the sentiment of the
poet" Then let us pray that come it may , As come it wilt and a' that , When man , to man , o ' ei a * the earth , Shall brothers be and a'that " Mr . Pattison sat down amidst the most enthusiastic applause . The band then struck up" A man ' s a man for a'that " The Chairman then rose and said , he would now introduce to them a deputation of females from the Calton and : Mile . ead Female Chartist Association . ( Lou 4 cheers . )
MiSB MUIB then rose andaddresdng Mr . Collins , eald , in the name of the Calton and Mile-end Female Chartist Association , she congratulated the patriots upon their liberation—upon again beingjallo wed to breathe the air and enjoy the sunshine of Heaven unpolluted by the gratings of the oppressors dungeon . ( Cheers . ) She congratulated their wives , their sons , and their daughters , their lathers and mothers , and brothers and sisten , ; on their restoration to their bereaved affectionsto their lovly homes , made lovely by their imprisonment , trut now rendered happy , by their enlargement . 8 h « congratulated them upon again being allowed to mingle in the society of kindred spirits , unawed by the thMatemiigs , unsubdued by the puniBhment , and uncontarainated by the promises of the tools of tyranny . ( Loud cheers . ) She congratulated them on their visit to
Scotland—to that land where freedom points In triumph to many a noble though lowly patriot ' s grassy grave , the recollection of whose stern integrity and indomitable spirit In the holy cause , kindle in out bosoms those emotions of freedom that , were they universal , would trample over tyranny and all the frtonda that support its unholy power . They were welcome to the congratulation ef every true lover of her country . Patriota she would call them , for thsy had honourably won that enviable name . The field , the dungeon , the scaffold , are the monsters that baptize men patriots in the highest end noblest sense of tfea word .
