Gentlemen , —It is a well known , fact that some years ago I made my debut in the character of an Ultra Radical ; which character I sustained amM tb * plaodita of my admiring auditors , and to the satisfaction of myaelf , so long as H serred my own eonrenience . I can , therefore , stand before you , Gentlemen , wH as a Rtde-aod-Tio Btan , bat as -a sound sterling

      ULTRA RADICAL . " 2 nd . It is equally well known , that I , either by instinct , magie or interest , east off my green habiliments , and quick as tbe forked lightnin gs' fl ^ h appeared clad in tbe imperial bine . " intbS ebaraeter I still continued trne to tbe great and good cause . By my own exertions I disciplined , marshalled , and brought into the field , the bravest baad at exea-Taiora , brickmaken , nMt »» en , potatoJjeaTers , &c ^ oc ^ that erer wielded a bludgeon , or faced a yelkmrbOl beard ; and < I am proud to record it ) I myself fooght most magnanimously at their head for" Three glorious days" !!!

      acquirement , mind you . to constitate a common councillorJ I wermed myself into the good graces of the Tories , so as to draw upon them for pay , rations , arms , ammunition , and clothing for my troops . Bid I not get sovereigns galore from the blue committee , wrapped np in papers like half ounces of tobacco ! Did I not get the bludgeon * made , and taken in sacks to the Angel Inn , and from thence conveyed , at an early boor , to tbe Soot Male , ocr rendezvous , in Cootoon ' s Yard ! Did not ply my men with cheese , bread , and u heavy wet , " and then through a trap-door , in an npper -room , shower the sacks ot bludgeons in their midst .

      telling every man to arm ! Did I not march them to the various Whig poll-booths , and did we not parade the streets with their broken boards and Mattered flags , as trophies of oar victories over them ! ind we not chase the enemy from their stronghold—the doth Hall Yard , and tear their flags iii ribands ! Did we not cause an accession of inmates to the General Infirmary ! And , to wind op , did I not get gold and silrer bullion , in the shape of sovereigns and crowns , from the Committee at the Kambow ! These and various other facts may be rally substantiated , on application to my friend , Mr . Uoadwick , of Arksey .

The Chai&xah o bserved that the People ' s Charter meant the people ' s rights , but it was useless for him to ocenpy their time so long , as the gentleman who was about to address them would do so to greater advantage than be could . He was sure , from his knowledge observe order , because he was convinced , from their eoudueton former occasions , they would assist him in the performance of his duties .

The amount of wealth annually produced by these 8 , 0 eo , 000 of the praOnetlva « laue » sveng « s £ 959 , 000 , 000 . Our power of prodMtion It equal to that of 1 , 300 , 000 , 000 nnman nanda ; yet , with thisprodigioaa power of prodoctUm—withthia amasing influx of wesltb—with wareboqaea erammed , and ships floating in aU qaartan ot the globe , and on both hemispheres , loaded with our manvmctano—with gmnaxies stoced "with npexfhdty of provisiona , and ports teeming with luxuries from every dime—with

      all moral , civil , reUgtoas , legal , aetontifie , edacational , and literary appHaneea of which we boast supremacy over every other country—what was the state of our own country > Here we bad an hereditary monarchy—a dominant aristocracya Mgotted and intotatant priesthood—a pona-pmod , empty-beaded middle < laaa—an immense standing ray—• centralised despotism , battreaaed by the Home-offlee ; police , spies , iuformea , tbe vilest and moat depraved reptiles—who paced In the trammels of slavish sobaartianey , and crouched in * upple abjectness before the petty puppets of political power . On the reverse we bay the starring population—discontented bat loyal , —beggary , pauperism , and erime , tiding rampantly through tbe eountrya extent ; dungeon

      patriota , aad transported martyrs . ( Sbame . ) The democratic millions wen robbed of poUtleal power , aad denied legislative protection . Wealth was eoostitated the only passport t * ii' —" , awfpmfth fWTnftnt , > nd political freedom . Poverty waa branded aa erimlaalthe poor were serfs to tbe hob , and felt their caprice , their petty interest , their passions , aad thetf loveof pelL In demonstration of this , lot them look at the present position of our father-land . Tbe propertied classes ( said Mr . B . ) exclusively possess the elective franchise ; their property , however unjustly acquired , ia protected by the fraochiae at tbeexpaoM * ef tba sweat and bi * odof tbe-walking millions . law is supreme . All mws are made exekutoely by the propertied tilairoos . Prepwtyiatbeeblldoflaboar . Labour aad the labourer

      axe unrepresented ; thus Um child governs tbe parent Property—theaeatore of labour ' s creation—thus usurps the place that labour ought to oanpy . Tha minorftr govern the majority—the aristocracy tbe demoeiaey j tbu mind is swayed by matbw * the life , liberty , and property of the unenfranchised classes are at the mercy of the em ^ ranshised , propertied classes . Look at our distribution of wealth ! The £ 650 , 000 , 000 annually produced ia distributed in a moat anomalous and unjust manner . Tbe 18 , 000 , 000 of producers reap £ 180 , 000 , 000 annually , while the 8 , 000 . 000 of the nnprodnedve classes fatten and luxuriate 1 b the mmaJBing £ 470 , 000 , 000 . The reason why

      such a monstrous system of distribution aa this exists , is because the working classes cannot protect their labour , which ia their property , by the elective banchise . To tbe working man labour and lift are identified ; B * t so with tbe idle drones in tbe social hive . Th » working man is robbed of his last asylum , in tbe enactment of the New Poor Law—he ia bereft of his last resource , and is thrown upoa the wide and friendless world , and , unpitied and unknown , into his last resting-place—the grave . ( Loud cheers . ) The monopoly of political power , us urp ** by tbe propertied classes , baa , ia tbe deadly course of ita operation , confounded those very distinctions of virtue sad

      Timor right and wrong—whldi give to government aecurity and to civilised society all its stability . How , in a community of rich and poor , where virtuous poverty is condemned as vice , and viciously acquired wealth is esteemed a virtue , can the Government be safe , tbe subjects contented , or the masses of tbe population happy ? Here we see personages who have paved their way to power and place by the abandonment of every virtuous principle , and by tbe reckieH disregard of those common feelings which constitute tbe bond , and form the link by which society ia bound together . Here , beneath the shadow of royalty , the grossest violations of morality—tbe vilest outrages against our common Christianity are perpetrated boldly , but unblushingly . In a state where the highest authorities are

      irresponsible to laws , allegiance to which , on the pain of forfeiture of liberty or life is demanded from the subjeet , how , with one party absolved from fealty to eommonlawa , can we expect that the rest should yield spontaneous homage to institutions in whaae enactment they were never consulted , and to whose existence they never gvre their consent ? Yet such is the actual state of things in our country . Not only are we viewed invidiously by the laws , but in their administration neither impartiality nor justice is observed . A poor Cook , of Micheldelver , for slouching the brim of an M . P . ' s hat , is butchered in cool blood ; while a wealthy Medhurst , for the erime of murder , is punished with twelve months imprisonment ! ( Cries of shame . ) All the avenues leading to the Legislature , the legalthe

      , medical , the clerical , and the learned professions , are sealed up impenetrably and for ever against the unprotected and the poor . Those who make our laWB —the laws by which our rives and properties are disposed off—the legal profession , who have the administration of the laws , who compose our * jedges aad juries —belong to that class wfee have nothing in common with us , save the form and physical structure The same may be predicated of the medical , learned , and clerical professions . Our Universities , Colleges , Schools , and seats of learning , are shut against us , while we are branded with ignorance . The Church is one vast cess pool of corruption , where all the stagnant elements of Imbecility , stupidity , and dotard superstition exhibit the spestade of a pompous exterior , divested of

      internal worth or stability , and indicates the ssre approach of speedy dissolution before the rising tide of knowledge , which , overflowing the embankments that priestly domination has erected to confine it , will sweep away in one precipitous rush its external splendour and rubbish fortifications into the streams of endless oblivion . ( LouA cheers . ) Mr . Bairstow here ran over a variety of topics with great rapidity , which want of space will not permit as to insert—suffice it to say , toat he exposed with great lucidity the injustice and robbery perpetrated by the funding system .

Nothing could exceed the astonishment and dismay of tne Whigs . If Coaly Tyne had risen as high as Gray-street , and washed the base of the apostate Whig-Radical Earl ' s pillar , though more mischief mi ght have been done , it could not cause a greater sensation than this sudden and unexpected bust of Chartism from what its enemies fondly hoped was its tomb .
