CniNKSE Notiossof Enousu Titles . —I had some difficulty In explaining to the mandarins the names , titles , and offices of a collection of portraits , which Lord Macartney bad presented to tbe Emperor , at Gebol , and which his Majesty had despatched to Uuen-min- " ? uen , to be translated into the Mantcboo and Chinese languages . We got over the names pretty well , that of the Duke of Marlborough being written down Too-ie Ma-tiLpo-loo ; of Bedford , Pe tefo-ul te , & c . ; but the portrait ot tbe latter having been taken in his boyhood , when I desired the Chinese secretary to write him down ss a ta-gin , or great man of the second order , he immediately said , 11 1 suppose yon mean his lather was a ta-gin . " I explained to him that with us neither age , nor superior talents , nor great acquirements were necessary
to obtain tbe appellation of ta-gin , to which many of our legislators were entitled by birth : he also exclaimed hai-ya ! laughed heartily at the Idea of a man being barn a legislator , when so many years of close applieation were required to enable one of their countrymen to pass his examination , even for tbe very lowest order of state officers . But as tie Emperor can confer a sort of nominal rank on the de « scendants of Confucius , but not such as to entitle to office , emolument , or exclusive privilege , they agreed to put down his grace as one of that description , positively refused to give him the title of tagin , alleging that the Emperor was not so stnpid as to believe that a little boy could have attained the rank of a great man . —Sir J .

" Union Forthe Mum. " Fmbw)S,-It Is Opr ...
" Union forthe mUm . " FMBW ) S ,-It is opr intention , this week , to point oat what ve conceive to be the cause of failure in local unions to resist effectually the threatened reductions in the price of labour . In doing which , we are not wishful to be understood as being desirous Ol casting any aspersions upon those who have talceii the most active and prominent part in conducting local unions ; nor are we charging them with a deficiency of energy , penetration , and prudence , necessary tor the efhcient management of trades ' societie-, or in the lowest degree with cursorilv enterine the
ttew to do battle for Labour's rights . So far as our knowledge extends they have been men of sterling merit , of thought , ot penetration , and probity : and , therefore , the repeated failures they have experienced in connexion with their isolated bodies cannot , with propriety , be ascribed to them , though , in general , they hare had to bear the odium , and frequently charged with partiality in the distribution of funds , and often with embezzlement of the same for their personal security and aggrandizement , without the slightest proof being adduced to sustain so gross and foul a calumny . Their reputation thus blasted they became loathed by the credulous and malicious of their fellow-operatives , victimized by the employer , and doomed , in consequence , to want and penury through a troubled life .
For the failures of local unions , we must look to another source than to the leaders and conductors of them . Tiiat local anions have been proved to be palpably and signally inadequate to perform the work assigned them , we have no need to inquire . But , should such proof be required , we have only to refer to an examination of the history of the trades' movements to which we respectively belong ; and but few whowill make that investigation , but wbat will be able to recount the sad and fearful instances in which they hare been compelled to yield to tho strong and grasping hand of Capital . We would point out , if
necessary , trades that would prove to demonstration tbe painful incompetency of sectional organization , to bear down the power that oppresses , —ay , and trades , too , under the most flattering and promising circumstances , and yet have been unable to compete with thejresumptuous opponents of unassuming industry . The greatest power of isolated trades'bodies , in general , has been wrapt up in noise and show , and in enchanting promises ; but these bursting as a bubble have disappeared like an aerial phantom , provoking the vanquished , and rearing an imperishable monument of the utter unfitness of sectional en .
ueavours to disentangle Labour from tbe pinching talons of insatiable avarico and cupidity . Having assumed the position that local unions , of themselves , ' are' coruparativelv powerless and totally inadequate to procure and maintain the rights of in-Justiy , it is incumbent that we should point out the causes ef their inefficiency . In attempting tbis , we do not presume to understand the particular circumstances of every respective trade in the empire . But without possession of this information , we think we -hall be able to show , from incontestable evidence , the nuavoidable and inevitable cause why mere . ' ocally-organized unions are incompetent to resist the encroachments of capital upon the earnings of the toiling man . .
In the first place , local unions have turned out to be failures , in many instances from the injudicious conduct of a part of their members . They have lacked courage and energy , and despairing of success , they have succumbed to the unrighteous dictates of employers , and in this manner have cau-ed a premature defeat of the objects of their societies , and ferced the humiliating surrender of the g » od and true to the power that exacts their labour without returning sn ample remuneration . Another cause of failure in local anions has been
awantof order and discipline in their rwiks , —a disregard to ruleand authority , and , rather than subrait to the requirements of the head , have abandoned the engagement , divided the little power they possessed , and swamped the objects they proposed to accomplish , became like a rope oi sand , fluctuating as tte t'd . *( and , asanatu 1 * ' conc > mitant , things have gone on in a downward , zigzag , disordrrly way , until , through sheer necessity , they have been compelled to offer their labour to the highest bidder , though that should be but a bare subsistence , or more properly speaking , a price that brings starvation .
Another cause why local union has resulted in failure , has been the entire absence of a selfemploying and reproductive institution . Hundreds and thousandsof pounds sterling hawe beeuhvivihfcu with an unsparing hand upon unproductive strikes ; keeping men idle , walking about the streets , as thongh the funds would never cease to replenish thevr ^ pockets . It is absolutely astonishing that sueh immense sums should have ' been expended to CBltMratethorns and thistles , to impoverish the grain that otherwise would have ripened into a plentiful harvest , to be gathered by the joyful and triumphant sons of toil . Had the funds so profusely lavished in supporting strikes been appropriated to the establishment and practical working of a self-employing
and reproductive association , what incalculable advantages would hare been derived by the working classes . ! A mass of squalid wretchedness and paralysine straggles would have been prevented ; and , as a substitute , we should have had a smiling multitude ot freeholders and landowners , and every trade in the empire would have witnessed the industrious portion of the community reaping the just reward of their labour , in defiance of grasping and incorrigible avaricious capitalists . Such would have been the unavoidable issue of such an association . ' It is amazing that sueh a society as our mighty combination , and that of its amiable sister , has Hot been
introduced before . But we must not censure ouv forefathers for not adopting a system , the powerand extent of which they had do possible conception They acted to the best of their judgment , for which they are deserving of the highest commendation , leaving " the move excellent way " to be developed by a more advanced and intelligent race than their own . But still the / art remains , that one of the principal causes why they did not succeed in attaining the objects of their unions , was their system of siiupoiting strikes to the exclusion of an association for the employment of labour in agricultures and manufactures .
The last cause we shall adduce , for the sake of brevity , as tending to failure in local unions , « that of their being local . The preceding causes alleged , as issuing in the subversion of the objects of local unions , may not be applicable to every trades ' society . For instance , there are trades , when called upon to resist the encroachments of capital , have wanted neither courage nor discretion ; the greatest amount of order and discipline imaginable prevailed—where every member was active and unswerving , cheerfully co-operating with a watchful and untiring executive . In addition to this , there may have been established an institution ef self-employment ; and with all
this , oppression and cupidity have proved too strong for such a well-organised and promising body . It may be asked , what cause can be assigned as tending to defeat the purposes of such a constituted and so formidable a union ? In leplyto which we say , Jthe cause of such an organisation failing to realise its objects , is simply the circumstance of such a society being merely local in its operations—its plans and movements have been established upon too narrow and circumscribed a oasis , which necessarily limits to a narrow circle the available means of support ; and unless tbe available means be cornmen urate with the objects sought to be accomplished the attempt to hurl oppression into eternal oblivion will terminate in a miserable discomfiture ol each s
combination . For the attainment of great purposes , proportionato measures must be put into operation—the foundation must be sound , or the superstructure will be feeble , temporary and delusive ; and before the edifice gains its completion , its basis will give way , and in a moment the entire fabric will tumble into rains , and the sad catastrophe sweep away the hopes and prospects of the workmen , paralysing their energies , and giving them an easy prey to money-loving tyrants . And why this sad and melancholy wreck ? The men were skilful , and the materials good—the fatal cause lay in the foundation . It was not proportionable to the edifice it was intended to sustain . And so with local unions . They are established upon too narrow and too contracted principles , - and every system that continues sectional andfeircumscribed in its operation , necessarily
nurtures a power of eelf-destruction . and , sooner or later , perpetrates the fatal act . So long , therefore , as any trade , however well organised , remains sectional , so long will it remain comparatively weak and defenceless , and utterly inadequate to perform the work ! aisigned it . Indeed , how can it be otherwise ? Ia not labour a national question ? It decidedly is . And our efforts to secure the rights of this national question , by doing battle for it in sections and isolated bodies , will be entirely fruitless , and give us up to the tender mercies of our task-masters . If we would achieve our national regeneration , we must cooperate upon a national principle . Our s 2 Ctional armies must combine in one aggregate and mighty association ; and with a national organisation and concentration of our divided power , go forth to victory and triumph , without a counter power to obstruct the engagement .

* J ? r _» impioyera . Mr Peel endesvoared to obtain an iatervieir with the master , to whom he wrote a reapect . ful note with that view , but any communication was Peremptoril y declined by that gentleman . Mr P ., while in B . iinburgh , attended meetings of the rope and uailmaktM ofteith , who are about joining the Association , th a ' malien » . tanncn , and p lumbers of Edinburgh . . "' aeePest interest is excited in the Scottish metropolis m favour of the movement . He visited , by invitation , tiie woollen power . loom weavers of Alva . An exceUent meeting wasconvened . with the usual satisfactory results , on the following day attended tbe nailumkers of Came-}' »• m the eT * B bad » P ^ hlic meeting of the trades onralltirk . He also reported his having visited Glas-« ow , whither he had severaUraportaat cases to
investigate . On Monday , the 28 th , be attended a meeting of the miners of Hol y Town who bad received notice of a reducti on of one shilling per day from their wages . A » 'ery important open-air meeting wa « held to receive reports from the vwious PU » . Mr Ciongban , the secretary of the district , addressed the meeting at considerable length . fr ., m which it appeared that one . half of the coal masters had given up the reduction , and that from various causes little doubt , could be entertained of the whole affair being speedily settled . Mr Cloughan then introduced Mr Peel , as a member of the Central Committee , who Lad been sent to investigate the ease in behalf of the members of the National Trades' Association . Mr Peel addressed the meetinft and congratulated them
upon the favourabl y ; aspect of their affairs ; he Assured them of the interest felt in their case by the Central Committee . He then drew their attention to the exertions now being made by Mr Buncombe to improve the condition ot the miners of Great Britain , pointed out to them the necessity of their giving all the support in their power to that gentleman , to enable him tbe more easily aud promptly to bring his patriotic endeavours to a successful termination . Tbis appeal was received with the most enthusiastic marks of satisfaction , the whol 4 ' ratrt . ing holding up their hands in token of their determiuatiun to support Mr Cuncombein his patriotic effort * , A vote of thanks , with three times three cheers , was then passed to Mr Buncombe ; thanks were also passed to Mr Peel , and the meeting separated .
Ou Tuesday a meeting was held on the banks of the Great MonWand Canal , of the miners of the county of Lavack . Twelve o'clock was the hour tixed tor the meeting . As the time approached , the various roads leading to the selected spot were thronged with parties from the different villages in this papulous locality . The day was one of those glorious Juue days , which appeared made fur ihe occasion . About twelve o ' clock the sounds of music broke upon the Assembling multitude , which was found to proceed from tha direction of Coatsbridge , whence a dense mass were observed winding down tbe kill , headed by a fine military band . In due time they reached the ground , and were presently succeeded by a similar body from Airdrie , also headed by the Airdrie band . At length the hour for action arrived . A cart
having been obtained for tbe speakers as a temporary platfurm , Mr Bathgate was called to the chair , and having briefly addressed them upon tbe important nature of the present meeting ' , he colled upon the deh-gates from the various districts to rvport ,- Mr Cloughan , delegate of Holytowu , informed the meeting that halt the pits in his district had settled the aff . iir , and of the others the warnings were not out . He contended tbat on this occasion the employers were not justified in offering this reduction , and the fact of their own unanimity . sufficiently proved the impolicy of reducing wages in the face of rising markets and moderate stocks on hand . He then stated that an attempt had been made to intimidate them by legal proceedings ; warrants bad been issued against lour of their friends , who were arrested
on Saturday night , and then brought forthwith to trial . Three having pleaded guilty were immediately committed to jail for fourteen days , aud thrown in amongst felon i and characters of the worst desciiptiou / the lourth refused to plead , and requested his examination to bo postponed , to allow him time to consult bis friends and obtain legal assistance . To this vtry proper and legal request themagistra ei thought proper to give a decided negative ; and , as a mark of their sense of bis presumption , at once sentenced him to six weeks' imprisonment . He ( Mr Claughan ) having been immediately informed of i t , went forthwith to Edinburgh , and bad the pleasure of getting the conviction quashed : he then entered an action for damage * for false imprisonment , A legal objection to tbe summons being taken by Mr Currie in
ihe case of tbe other three men , the magistrates thought fitt ) discharge them , lie contended that any attempt to force the men to woik any number of days a week , unless they also engaged to give as many days' work , could net be maintained in law , Mr 0 , then introduced Mr Peel , who , as a member of the Central Committee , was received with loud cheers . Mr P . addressed them to the same effect as on the previous day , and referred to an observation which hud imanatei from one of the em . ployers , to the effect that , as the A-sociation had only iiot £ 3 , 000 in the bank , tbey could 00 but little iu tlre . «« A < it a * Vsife « wmwigilto vn \ n « n . 1 ae employers imagined that their means oi ' supporting the trades were to be measured by the amount of cash at any time in tl > e bank ; tbe power of the Association depended on their numbers , and the Central Committee had the power to
call for such levies as in their judgment were requisite for the protection of the members . lie was happy thatin this case it would not be necessary to apply for them to . he Central Committee ; but if it should unfortunately turn outotherwise , the employers might rest assured tbat the Central Committee would be prepared to afford them all the support in their power . He then called on them to support Mr Buncombe , by an active agitation before the next session of Parliament for a thorough investigation into , and reform of the crying abuses they laboured under . Into no better bands than Mr Buncombe ' s could their cause be entrusted , and they would be false to their own interests , and traitors to the best interests of their wives and children . it tbey did not give to Mr Duncombe all tbat support which is so esstniial to . the sue cessful accomplishment of all great reforms .
These observations were received with the greatest enthusiasm . A vote of thanks was passed to Mr Buncombe with tbe greatest acclamation ; one also to Mr Peel and the chairman , and the meeting separated in thej most orderly manner . Manchester . —The Turn-out at Mr Smith's Silk-mill . This turn-out , now in its lourth week , continues without any prospect of settlement . O 11 Saturday last the number that received pay was as follows 1—fifty seven silkpt ' ekers and seventy . three weavers—in all one hundred an d thirty persons . In consequence of the article that apj "eared in lust week ' s Star , Mr Smith sent for Mr Fa * . her , who waited upon that gentleman , in company with Mr Peel , who complained very bitterly of the tcnour of th & t portion that related to the turn-out at his mill .
He coi nplained tbat he had been very unfairly dealt witb inasma ch as the Association were attempting to compel him to nay a higher price than other employers . Now tho facts are this * : Mr Smith for a length of time has stated tin it he objected to pay for his picking moretban another fit m . mentioning the firm in question . The Central Commi tteewere anxious toremove the cause so justly complained * of—sent deputations to confer with the firm spoken of tt , ' induce them to come up to Mr Smith ' s price - they si tcceeded several times in obtaining an interview , but 1 » lth little success . The firm contended that although t hey did not pay so high a price as other manufacturers , ^ hands could earn as good if not better wages , asi taW depended upon the quality of the material they had t 0 P ' > at tDe 6 ame lime stating that ,
if they were compt Ned to pay the same rate for picking , in justice to him other manufacturers ought to be made to pay the sani crate for weaving as he was paying , which was much big her . The Central Committee were always anxiom to avi "d strikes , more especially of an offensive character , we . re in hopes they thouid ee able to induce tha lirm compfa ' » ed of to acquiesce in the proposed advance ; failing ii > tuis , as soon as the briskness of trade wasj over Mr Sn uth informed his hands that be would no longer pay tbe 1 >' Price , but offered the sam ? p rice as Mr ; this of course the men refused , as , they considered they had do » e »» th <> y possibly could to induce all the masters to pa J » uniform price . A list of prices having been presentt d , but no notice has been taken of it , under these cu -cumstancos , Mr Smith's bands being men ? bera of the Kational Association . naturally applied to the Central Committee for that support to which th ey were entitled— they having ensured themsel ? es in the
Association against contingenciss of th Is character ; and , therefore , were receiving aliment as from an Insurance Society . The Central Committee are not responsible for the turnout , Mr Smith alone is Kspo . nsible ; therefore , on this ground he has no just cause of complaint . Mr S . stated last Saturday that the Associav ion being strong in numbers and influence were determiua d to crush him , he being the weaker party . The Central \ Committee can assure that gentleman that they have nevr er used that power for any such purpose , nor ever will , but are determined to support any of its members on ti ' ie defensive against unjust reductions . The very opposite is the fact , and this Mr Smith himself must admit . If thv ' - Association wished to exercise an arbitrary power s ^ iinst any manuficturer , would they have sent their ag « n ts so repeatedly to confer with a brother manufacturer upon a point upon which ho himself complained ? The Asso . elation is founded upon the principle of protecting the fair trading employer as well as its members , and numerous instances can be adduced where the Central
Committee have slept in to the satisfaction of both employers and employed . The Central . Committee hav . a already made an offer , with a view to a settlement , through their agents ; to that offer they still adhere ; but they cannot recede in the least , as they have not the power nor the will to enforce tbe hands to accept a reduction . Thus the matter stands .: and if tho article in last week's Northern Star can be construed into the inference that we were desirous of holding Mr Smith up as a dishonourable employer , we ate quite anxious to make the omende AonouraHe , as his hands generally speak of
him as a good employer and that bis stuff in general is good as other manufacturers . The word " knobstick" was also complained of . •• How can you call my present pickers knobsticks , " says Mr Smith , " when they are not receiving a less price than my old hands f" A knobstick is a being who is cureless of bis own and bis brethren ' s interests , or he would not attempt to supersede tbose who were nobly struggling to maintain tbe general interests of their trade . If tbe knobsticks are to be paid the old price , where was the necessity cf turning out the old hands ? ThefoUosrJng is a list of prices paid by different manufacturers : —

The meeting was well attended , and a resolution in favour of the National Association was carried unanimously . The same day he attended a meeting of the pen and pocket-blade
forgers , for tbe tame purpose . Mr Retain also attended a public meeting of the file trades . Mr John Bramwell was called to the chair , who nplained the business of the meeting . He bespoke a candid hearing for the lecturer , whom he introduced to the meeting . Mr Robson described the origin and progress of the Association , showed its practical adaptation to the working-classes in general , and to the trades of Sheffield in particular . Mr R . also entered into a lengthy and animated explanation of the principles of tbe Association for tbe Employment of Labour , and exhorted the trades to invest their surpiqs monks in that Association , to aid them in effecting the redemption 0 / the working-classes , instead of being applied inimically to their general welfare , Mr R , concluded by soliciting questions , in order to elicit further infor . mation upon tbe principles of the Association . A great number of questions were asked , which Mr Robson fully answered ; when a vote of thanks to Mr Kobsou was unanimously carried . We feel proud in informing our friends and co-operators in the National Association , that upwards of 6 , 000 have already joined the Association in Sheffield .

Great Chartist Demonstr Ation! Mr O'Conn...
GREAT CHARTIST DEMONSTR ATION ! MR O'CONNOR'S fTrST VISIT TO NOtt
W 1 CH . On Monday last . July 5 th , a public demonstrat e was made in Norwich , chit-fly by the working cJas-i « , to welcome Mr Feargus O'Connor on his first visit to this ancient city . An immense procession , consisting of members of the Norwich' branch of the Land Company , the Chart'H bady and others , priceeded to the Railway Station to wait * he arrival ot Mr O'Connor . A numbar of flags , bca \* ng suitably inscriptions , were carried 6 v the processioVi . Iu r » at five o ' clock , lie was received by a deputation of two jjentlemcn from the Land Committee , twof : om the Chartist bodv , and two from the Election Corn
On Mr O'Connor ' s arrival he was ushered into » carriage , in which he was driven through the city , proceeded by the prod ssion . He was greeted by trie most hearty and welcome shouts from the aBsemlv « d thousands , who had como to do honour to the
occa-. . In the evening , a public meeting was held at at Andrew's Ilall , the most spacious building in the city , kindly lent by the mayor for the occasion . At about sixo ' cleck the Hall began to be filled , and ia the course of an hour several thousand persons were assembled . At seven o ' clock Mr O'Connor and hia 'friends entered . His appearance on the platf-im was the signal for the luidaud prolonged shouts of the assembly . The chcerini ; having subsided , Mr R . A . Ciark was called to the chair , Oa rising , he
said-Brother Electors and Friends of the popular Movement , this , I must say , is a pleasing sight . No doubt it will be looked upon with contempt by sofae persons as a demonstration , because you , the labouring classes , compose the agureeate ; but we will iet them know , before the next election conies , that wa will not permit them to trample upon our privileges , I know they have said we are not rcspectabla ; but we do not stand upon gold , we stand upon principle . ( Cheers . ) Some of them doubt whether we shall be able to make a stand . But it may be snid that this meeting is for the most part made up jf those wbo are r . ot voters—of mm-electors . Is th . it any cause why we should not b » ld our meeting ? Is that any cause why we who are electors should rot
come forward aud assert oar rights ? Most tie cidedly not . If you are not electors , there is o . ie thing—we know you ought to be . ( Cheers . ) I know the non-electors are greatly despised by ( he electors , tboDsJ ) when the Anti-Slavery QuesJiaD , or any other question of interest to the middle cms , ia agitating this country , they do not fail te apply to the non-electors to send petitions to Parliament respecting it . But it is said popular opinion is not with us . 1 think the demonstrat ion of to-day proves that we have at least some un ' tAtis who will aid us . We know from the canvass which we have madr in the different wards , though it has been but an imperfect one , that there is a strong probability of tur
returning a Chartist candidate . ( Cheers . ) Popuhr opinion has forced Lord John Russell to adopt cerium measures ; popular opinion has forced Sir Robort Peel to adopt certain sweeping measures ; and I should not be at all surprised to hear , that , 11 = order to gain popularity , he hud one clay proposed Universal Suffrage—( cheers )—and if he wants to carry with him' the goodwill of the nation , 1 don ' t know that fie could propose a better measure . ( Hear , hear . ) I hope , my friends , you will remember Nelsuii ' a motto—* ' England expects every man to do his duty . " The non-electora have a . duty to perform , and Itaiy can perform it nobly . I beg to call on Mr Barber to propose the first resolution . ( Cheers . )
Mr Barber then proposed the following resoSu
tioni—That we , the members of the Co-operative Land Society , are determined to do all we can to forward tho same , as we think it tbe best means to emancipate th * working classses from the iron hand of OpprcsBion . He then said : Wc , as members of the National Land Company , are determined to dj all we can to upset thepioposed compromise , and to return such men as you may think fit to represent yon in Parliament . It is now my intention to give you some idea of the Land System , propounded and so nobly carried out by Mr O'Connor , ; . Two years aso , gentlemen , this matter was in its infancy . We have already planted one lot of members , and arrangelot
ments are nearly complete to locate another . We have most beautiful csttages , fit for freemen to live in ; not hovels or cellars , —not as they are ia Bradford or Manchester , —but habitations fit for freemen ' s homes . There are attached to them three or four acres of good land , with a sum of money to start with . We have already accumulated £ 40 , 000 , and it is your own fault , gentlemen , if you haven't £ 200 , 000 or £ 300 , 000 by this time twelvemonths . ( Hear , hear . ) [ The speaker entered into some interesting calculations with the view of proving the great power possessed by the working classes , provided they acted upon the principle of co-operation , lie concluded an admirable address amidst loud applause ]
, . Mr IIurrell seconded tbe resolution , and said-Mr Chairman and Fellow-citizens , if ever there was a proud day for Norwich , this is that day—( Hear , hear , ) -when the toiling som nf our city have an opportunity of seeing , and will have anoppo tunity of hearing , the emancipator of the working-classes . ( Cheers . ) If ever I feltitproud , it ison the present occasion . If ever I felt one degree of pleasure more than another , it is this evening , when I have the honour to stand by the side of" an individual who has spent ft fortune in emancipating the working milll-ns of England . ( Loud cheers . ) Gentlemen , our friend , Feargus O'Connor , has travelled thousands an * thousands of miles ; he has spent thousands upon thousands of pounds , and for wbat purpose ? As I
have just stated—to emancipate tho working-classes , of this country . It is a well-known fact that no niari / upon God ' s earth has been more abused than this ini dividual . Virtue has been made to appear vice , and vice virtue ; and here he is : lure is the man who , has worked thesalvation of England , now before yon , i and I propose that you all at this moment give hiraf three cheers . [ Here the whole assembly , rose e »; masse , and carried out to the full the request of the ! speaker , by long and protracted cheers . " ! _ You are ! aware , gentlemen , that at the first meeting which ! was held in this Hall concerning the compromise , I j was the individual who stood before you and broke up what might be fairly called something in the shape of humbugism . ( Hear . ) Myself and others have
brought you thus far , and we promise you , in the name of Feargus O'Connor , and in the name of ailthat is true , that we will , with your assistance , carry out our intentions to the poll . ( Cheers . ) I know that you have been told that the people are tco ignorant , and that they must be educated before they have the franchise extended to them . It is not because they are not educated sufficiently , but because they are become too wise , that this is withheld from them . ( Hear , hear . ) The people ef this great country are becoming wise . Tho popular movement is now for the popular rights of man , and wee be to > them who throw a stumbling-block in too way : As 1 men , we contend tbat we have the same right as I other men have as regards the making of the laws by ' which we are to be governed . This is all we ask for , , and this we will have before we cease our agitation . >
Yen have heard it said in Norwich tbat Mr O'Connor r is no friend of the people , because he didn't ride i round the country with such men as Cebdenandl I Bright . Gentlemen , you have had enough of Free- Trade . You have found out by this time that your r Free-Trade gentlemen have put your corn under look t and key ; but now we find that God , in his geodness I has created a prospect of a greater crop than wai f ever known in this country , they are compelled to- 0 pull the corn out of their storehouses . How much , 1 , then , have we gained by Free-Trade ? Here is a a gentleman that has stood by his principles—be will 11 stand by ours ; and he will help and assist us not it only in the principles of universal right to universal al man , but also in the principle which we are now w advocating—that ef freedom of election . ( Loud id cheers . )
The Chairman then called on F . O'Connor , Esq ., y who rose amidst the most enthusiastic cheering , ig , on the subsidence of which he said : —Mr Chairman an and ray Friends—If the Marquis of Douro or Mr kit Peto stood here just now , in these excited times , es , upon the eve of a contested election , no doubt you ou would know what to attribute their coming to ; but , nt , my friends , I have come here , not te serve my own w » purpose , but to advance that cause which has beea ee » dear to me during life , and which shall be dear to r to me through lif e . ( Cheers . ) When 1 look around at this- thie stupendous buMing , and when I reflect upon that hat cradle where I nursed that infant which has now be- become a giant , 1 am furnished with an accurate and and critical answer to all those who say tbat the
prin-irinciples of Democracy are on the decline . I remem- ember , when first I propounded those principles lis in reality , not as they were formerly propounded , as ft is a bit of ribbon upon a horse to besold-not astb « ith « i middle classes , or-as some of the aristocracy usedusedl to propound them , in order to show their danger and and ! ensure their success , but when I first propoundedndedl them as the piinciples of peace , as the principles ofes ofE contentment and happiness—I vralked with my rojr crippled bantling on tbe tops of buildings ; the » , the »„ because it was a sig htly child , I determined tonursenurses and nurture it , until it grew to that giant strengthangtki which would now strangle all opposition . ( GfaeeftJeen .. )) For fifteen years 1 have rocked that cradle . I have bavee watched the infant in its sleep , and I have a * boii
