MIDDLE CLASS LIBERALISM . The Bfforme of the 6 : h instant , contains an account ofthe recent Chartist meeti ng at the Crown and Anchor , of which it speaks in the following terms : — 'This meeting gives ns renewed evidence , with whom the Democracy fif France ought to empathise ; whether with the Chartists , those sincere and honest Democrats—or the Whig-Radical—middle classes , who cannot bear to speak of' the Charter ' or * Universal Suffrage , * but cannot go farther than proclaim themselves partisans for the 'Complete . ' ' * * * * Tbe present conduct of the middle classes augurs what we have to expect of them , and how they will fulfil the pledges given at the recent elections .
* * * * Witness the conduct of one ofthe middle class orators , Dr Epps , a timid patriot , a Reformer in little things , who wishes to conciliate all the world , except the active and energetic advocates of Democracy . Who barns , he says , to liberate the people , but will not let them liberate themselves . A worthy representation of middle class Radicalism . * * * * The Reforms proceeds to analyse the speech of DrEpp ? , and the spirit of his party , against whose Iuke-wartn patriotism and wily machinations , it warns the Chartists .

IRISH DEMOCRATIC CONFEDERATION . This bedy continues to hold its usual weekly meetings and has lately been honoured by the presence of a goodly number of the fair eex . At tbe meeting on Sun * day erening last , ilr Joyce in the chair , tbe leading article of the Koumiss Stab , on « The Rights of Property , ' was read , and excited ranch applause . On the motion of Mr Clanccy , seconded by Mr Watts , a vote ef thanks was passed to the Roman Catholic Archbishops and Bishops , for their defence of therbjhts of life , contained in their address to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland . The WestHisste & CosEtDEEtTEs met on Snndaj evening last , at the Bine Aneber , York-street , Westmiaster . Ur T . B . Beading was called to the chair , and addressed tho meeting . Speeches were also deivered by Messrs Scott , Reynolds , Glass , Nolan , Sweeney , and others . A number of the « Old Inlanders ' Iwere present , bat the meeting passed off harmoniously .
Meetings were also held at the Cheshire Caeese , Pirnlico ; Green Han , Berwick-street , Oxford-street , 4 c . [ Press of matter has compiled the curtailment of tbe above notices . ] Baesslex . —The Irish Democratic Confederation , of this town , held their nsnal weekly meeting on Sunday evening last , at Mr George Uttley ' s largt room . Mr Thesoas Simpson occupied the chair . An adjourned discussion on the inconsistency ofthe Aalion newspaper , was resumed by Ifr Keeth , who stated that he believed the whole press of Ireland to be dishonest , bat nevertheless , he considered it was necessary to take in a copy ofthe above-named paper , in order to watch the proceedings of the party « hom it represented , lit Peter Hoey addressed the meeting at great length , and concluded by stating that the Nation newspaper was not the friend of
the working people ; bat yet he considered it was honest , inasmuch Jas it advocated the interests of the middle , classes who were Its sapportets . Mr Segrave denied that the writers of that journal were honest men ; they professed to be the friends of the working population , whilst their actions proved them to be their deadliest enemies . Mr O'Leary denounced , in the stroagest terms the no political principles of tbe Nation neivipsptr , and drew a picture of the deplorable condition of tbe peManfry of Ireland , owing to the abominable system of class-lrgisIarloB , which tbe wtiters of that journal supported by denying the political franchise to the industrious classes of his ( Mr O'Learj ' s , ) unfortunate conn , try . It might as well be said that tbe base tool
Somervilie was honest , because he was paid to ferret ont evidence and tell lies by tbe jard , to destroy Mr O'Connor ' s character ; or that Maurice O'ConnvlI the son of Ireland ' s mock liberator , who has got op a memorial at the late Cabiidvetn sessions , praying for military tobs tent to that town to butcher the starving people during tbe winter , should they a » k for bread . Messrs O'NtiU , Walsh , and Cayle , followed in a similar strain of argu ment , after which a rote of thanks , en the motion of Mr Deane , was accorded by acclamation to the editor of the Abrttern Star , for writin ? that excellent article which appeared in last Saturday ' s Star , headed The Right * of Property . * The usual rote ot thanks was given to tbe chairman , and the meeting separated .

"Vntt* Forth Mhn. » Friends , It Is With...
" Vntt * forth mhn . » Friends , It is with the deepest regret that the Central Committee now address you , but they feel imperatively called upon to do so as a matter of dutv , in order to defend themselves ftom the misrepresentations which have been set forth to . the various trarles by the No . 2 society of Crayford block printers ; whose agents are travelling through the country for the purpose ot obtaining support from the working classes , and to create sympathy in their own behalf at the expense of the Association ' s interest , and the
public character of the Central Committee . They are sorry to be compelled to take this course , but they feel that they have alread y maintained silence too long , for the results ef these raistatements are now assuming something like a formidable aspect ; and it therefore becomes necessary , in order to counteract their injurious tendencies , to lay before the members ofthe Association and the public generally , a statement of the facts connected with this case , which the Central Committee feel fully warranted in offering as a vindication of their conduct , and in reply to correspondence they have received from various parts of the country on the subject . In the first place it will be necessary to advert to the history of this body in its connection with the Association .
The Crayford block printers hare always been considered members of the Association from its commencement , having been assisted by their delegates as its formation , and contributed their proportionate amount of subscription to meet its immediate expenses , up to the Manchester Conference in 1846 . At that Conference a levy was laid of twopence in the pound , on the average earnings of the members , in order to fully carry out its object . This levy they declined paying , assigning as a reason , that they did not feel bound by the acts of the Conference , until those acts were sanctioned by their own body in general meeting assembled . Prom that time to March 1847 , they invariably declined paying the levies when applied to for the same , although Mr Barratt , the secretary , repeatedly made such application .
Mr Williamson , in the early part of March 1847 , having business in Crayford was applied to by them , to know if they could rejoin the Association without paying up the levies which had accrued from the previous June . Mr Williamson having no authority to decide iu the affirmative , promised to bring the subject before the Central Committee , who baring considered the questions , consented , after some hesitation , to admit them as new members . On the 7 th of March , 1847 , the Crayford block printers , or such of them as were employed in the works oi Mr Swaisland , sent in their adhesion , together with levies for two months , requesting the Central Comr aittee to date their adhesion from the 1 st of Feb .,
which in consideration of their previous connection with the Association , was assented to . On the 27 th of the same month , the men in the factory of Mr Evans , ( the body in question ) also sent their levies , and ou the 3 rd of August , a little more than four months from their first payment , ( in the form of levies ) they sent a deputation to the Central Committer to representTthat they had been offered a reduction of wages , and therefore wished the Central Committee ' s advice—the interview resulted in the appointment of Mr Winters , to investigate the case
and to wait on the employers . On Mr Winters ' arrival at Crayford , he found the men in Conference , discussing the propriety of adopting a medium list of wages which was then in preparation ; and under this circumstance they induced him not to wait upon Mr Evans , as they were sanguine of bring able to settle the affair themselves . When their list was prepared , they appointed a deputation to consult the Central Committee thereon , and on the 6 th of Aug . they attended this office for the purpose . When after the question bad been duly considered , the following resolution w as adopted . Resolved : —
That tbe Central Committee advise tbe deputation to lay before their various shops , the list of wages tliey have drawn up , emanating to about one half tbe reduction proposed by tbe eniploj er ; and if they will not accede to it , to communicate again with the Central CoKmitiee , when an agent will be forthwith dispatched to Crayford , in order to usa bis endeavours to adjust theafiaira by means of mediation . Should that course fad , the Central Committee further advise that the men work under urotest , until a more ffivourahle opportunity presents itself ; when the Central Committee will give the matter itsb » st consideration .
The medium list of wages having been laid before , and approved ot by the trade , was submitted to the employers without success ; thereupon another deputation was sent to the Central Committee , and it appeared by their statements , that the works had been closed for seven weeks prior to the 3 rd of August , in consequence of the slackness of trade . Nor was it ever affirmed to the Central Committee , that daring this seven weeks , or nine , as they have in subsequent statements , and public documents admitted . Was any reduction offered by Mr Evans , but ou the 1 st August ; the very day when , according to their views , their six months , dating from the 1 st
February expired , then , and not till then , the alleged reduction was offered . Tlie Central Committee had , in the meantine , availed themselves of the opportunities at their disposal , to ascertain the position of the block printers'business in other parts of the country , and found that for more than twelve months previously , the trade in the North or England and Scotland , bad suffered ^ unparalleled depression , which information was fully corroborated by the personal knowledge of a member of their own body , who bad , during the previous spring , made a tour through the districts of Lancashire and Yorkshire .
The Central Committee were aware that Mr Evans bad been in the practice of sending work to be printed in other , and lower wage shops , in Essex and Lancashire ; and that in the latter districts alone , there were upwards of 1 , 000 block printers out of employment . The Central Committee could not by any means , knowing these facts , advise or sanction a strike , even had they supposed that the men had a fair and equitable claim to tbe Association ' s support ; which they did not , because they considered from the block printers' own evidence , that the
whole ease resolved itself into an out of work question . They therefore advised them to accept the work under protest , and by that means preserve their shop from non-society men ; and at the same time urged , that while their trade was in its present unprecedentedly languid state , their employer might obtain a sufficient quantity of hands to suit his purpose , and would therefore , be able to defeat them , though their resources were ever so great , the Central Committee were desirous , as far as practicable , to afford them assistance , and consequently came to the following resolution . Resolved : —
That Mr Winters accompany the deputation to wait upon the employer , Mr Evans , and then wait upon tbe men , at Crayford , in order to show them that the Central Committee could sot support them in resisting the redaction offered . First , because the sen te whom the work was offered were out ef employment . Secondly , because tbey conceive it would lb unwise to embark in a strike in the present depressed state of the block printing trade ; there being about 1000 now out of employment in the county of Lancashire alone , and a great number ia other places .
When the decision of the Committee was made known to them , they issued an appeal to the trades to request support ; a copy of which appears in the Northern Star of Oct 2 nd , in which they entirely confirm the judgment of the Central Commiitee , that their case resolved itself into an out of work question ; and also that from the extensive depression of their trade , they bad not been earning more than fourteen shillings per week since Christmas ; and that they had been out of shop fourteen weeks , five of which they had been on strike . Now , what is the inference to be drawn from such an admission ? Why , clearly ( his , that nine weeks out of the fourteen which preceded their eligibility to
support ; that is , they had just re-entered the Association five months in point of time , or six months , allowing one month in advance ; nine weeks of which they bad been out of work , and the moment they believe themselves eligible to support , they designate their case a strike ; aud because the Central Committee would rot award them support under such chcumstances , they waged war against them , at the risk of destroying the Association . The Central Committee feel confident , that having these facts before them , they have come to a just decision in
the case * , had they decided otherwise , they believe that there is not a memoer belonging to the Association , but would have accused them of a misappropriation of its funds . If the Crayford block printers were entitled to support , arenot the starving unemployed operative spinners and weavers of Lancashire equally so ? seeing that they are suffering from the same cause ; viz , depression of trade—are offered reductions of from ten to twenty-five per cent . Another point in the appeal to which the Central Committee wish to allude is , where the Mod
pnnters . state that the number of men who require support from Mr Evans ' s shop is . sixty , and at another shop twent y-three ; making a total of eighty , three men who require support . From this it would appear as if the eighty . three had all been refused support from the Association ; and as though they were m common resisting the reduction of wages ; but the fact is different , the twenty-three spoken of as being from another shep , have never applied for support , because they were really out of employment , in consequence of their employer having no work for them . Yet the appeal makes no distinction between the sixty of the one shop and the twentythree from the other . Subsequently to the decision
of the Central Committee upon this case , they have been subjected to the most unmeasured censure because they have , in legislating thereon , acted as they COUCieve in strict conformity with their duty . One of the block printers' deputations attempted by threat ' s and , intimidation , tp coerce theCentral Committeeinto compliance with their demand for support , by threatening a Paper War—stating that they did not want to be at enmity with the Central Committee , but that they should be so if their purposes were not realised . That the decision of the Central Committee upon their case , would either make them better friends or greater foes . If the Central Committee are to be subjected to such intimidation
when cases are submitted to their consideration , can it be expected that they can efficiently perform their duties to the Association ; they ought in their deliberation upon any question involving the interests of the trades , to be free to act unawed by intimidadation ; no one should attempt to bribe them with favour , or force them with threats . The interests of every trade in the Association is equally important to them , they feel as much desire to serve one trade as another ; in fact they feel the responsibility of their position , the welfare of the entire Association being intrusted to them ; and they are therefore bound in honour to protect the interests of the whole , and not sacrifice that interest to the will of a
few ; and in the performance of their duty , they are determined to act independently ^ either of flattery or frowns . The block printers' deputations who have been visiting the . trades , have had resource to various misrepresentations . They state that not only have theCentral Committee refused to acknowledge their claims , but that they also objected to furnish them with the addresses of the London trades' bodies , and thus prevent them from obtaining assistance from those trades ; this the Central Committee most emphatically deny . The fact is , the secretary handed them the book containing those addresses , from which they copied what they pleased . After the Central Committee ' s decision upon this case , the block printers appeared to have discovered some new features in the affair , and on
October the 12 th , a deputation again waited upon the Central Committee , in order to represent to them these new features , and thereby induce , them to reconsider their case , which they expressed their willingness in doing , and for this purpose they deemed it expedient that every member should be present on the occasion , although two of them were at a considerable distance from London at the time-As soan , l " however , as they were able to attend the office , the question was taken into consideration and all the circumstances , with the new features of the case , laid fully before the committee , when the greatest desire was manifested by them to serve tbe block printers , if consistent with their duty they could do so—but after the most patient investigation ofthe case , they unanimously same to the following resolution . Resolved s—
That this committee having reconsidered tbe case of tbe Crayford block printer ? , and all its bearings , with tbe additional points iutroduced into the case by the deputation ( Messrs Gardner and Dixon ) on tbe 21 th Oct . cannot find any grouads for altering their forraerdecision , to the t £ tc « rt that tho case , as originally presented to them , was an out of work question } and that no sufficient evidence has been produced to prove the existence of any document ; although tlie employer , lir Brans , in the present dietressed state of trade , has succeeded in obtaining a considerable supply of non-society men .
It will be seen that the new features offered for consideration , was the existence of a document , which the block printers assert they would , upon resuming work , be required to sign , pledging themselves to abandon their connexion with all unions . That any sach document had been presented , they could not produce the slightest proaf ; but that a number of non-society men were gone to work at the reduced wages , ; who , they believed , would be compelled to sign it . In order , however , that the Central Committee might , if possible , ascertain whether such a document had been presented to the men or not , they sent Mr Peel to Crayford , who , on his arrival , had an interview with the workmen in that trade , but they could not produce any proof of the existence of such a document , and , moreover , they have been informed , by undoubted authority , that no document has been offered to the men .
There is another fact which the Central Committee have not urged , preferring treating the question purely on its merits , but this fact alone would have justified them in absolutely rejecting the block printers ' claims—viz ., that on the 3 rd of August , when they first claimed support , they were not really eligible , having paid only five months' levywhereas the rules and practice of the Association require them to have paid six months , before eligible to benefit . The payment ofthe July levy nothaving been made until the 7 th of August .
Tbe foregoing is a plain statement of facts in con . nection with the case ofthe No . 2 society of Crayford block printers , and theCentral Committee leave the members of the Association , and the public generally , to determine as to the justness of their decision . They state with confidence that they will be fully prepared to defend themselves at the next conference , with regard to their decision upon this or any other case upon which they have been called upon to legislate .
The Central Committee beg , in conclusion , to state , that they deeply regret having been compelled to enter into this public explanation , in order to confute the assertions made against them , but they are quite aware of the evil tendency of such misrepresentations to which they have been subjected . They fondly hope , however , that the various trades forming the National Association , will not suffer themselves to be thrown into discord through tbe discontent of a few self-interested men . If , therefore , national union is really beneficial for the toiling millions , let not any little obstruction or supposed wrong on the part of any body , induce the trade to abandon that Association which , if well supported by them , will unquestionably become the most effective means by which the working man cau hope to obtain fair remuneration for his labour .
Tho Central Committee met on Monday and following days , lor the transaction of genera ) business . A mass of correspondence has been received from Birmingham , Liverpool , Keishley , Leeds , Halifax , Huddersfield , Manchester , Hanley Potteries , Congleton , Macclesfield , Nottingham , Leicester , Willenhal' , Wolverhampton , Coventry , Blackburn , Aberdeen , Alloa , Edinburgh , Glasgow , Greenock , Paisely , Dunbarton , Sunderland , Newcastle upon-Tjne , and numbers of other places . Also tho following reports from members of the Central Committee , and agents ofthe Association .
On Monday evening , November 2 nd , Mr Green attended a meeting of the No . 20 , W . Sawyers , of the River Thames , held at the Crown and Sceptre , Woodmor-street , Poplar . The meeting was well attended , when Mr Green entered into an explanation of the principles and objects of the Association ; He showed its practical workings , and pointed out the great advantages derivable from finch a combination , and that it must be by the co-eperntion of the working classes , upon a national principle , when , at any time , the united power of the people could be commanded in defence of labour ' s rights . Mr Green then adverted to tbe Association for the Employment of Labour , showed how its plans were carried out , and that its funds were employed in
reproductive employment , and strongly recommended the sawyers to lend the Association their surplus funds , which would be appropriated for labour ' s emancipation . At the close of the meeting * a resolution was carried to join tho Association forthwith . Uuia —Mr Town attended & meetipg of tho hand loom sail-cloth weavers , and explained the rules and objects of the National Association . The meeting was well attended , and general satisfaction was given . A resolution in favour ol the Association was carritd , ar , d a deputation appointed to visit the trades in Hall , with the view of getting them to join the Association .
On Tuesday , Mr Tewa attended a meeting at Mill Bridge and Heckmondwick , held in the Barkerites' chaplo . The chapel was crowded . The chairman , after a few remarks , introduced Mr Town , who descanted upon the prieciples and objects of the Association . At the close of the lecture , several friends spoke in favour of the great union ; also , a shopkeeper of the town expressed himself highly satisfied with the tendency ofthe Association , aud thought it emineutly calculated to elevate tbe condition of tho labouring clasf . He should , himself , unite with the Association , and should call upon tho shopkeepers of the town to follow his example . On Wednesday , Mr Town attended a public
meeting at Berkingshaw . Tho meeting was well attended , and considerable interest was manifested , this being the first meeting held hero on the subject of the Association . A resolution , approving of ths principles of the Association was unanimously carried . On Thursday , Mr Town addressed a very large meeting at Dewsbury , held at the Wellington Inn . The speaker entered Inlly into tbe plans and constitution of the National Association , which met with the unqualified approbation of the meeting .
On Friday , Mr Town delivered aa address in Bristol , which was well attended . The speaker directed attention to tho superior nature of tin-Association over any of its predecessors ; and showed that it was well calculated to secure tbe rights and promote the interests of the operative classes , and that it must be by a national organisation of the trade . " , that the working classes would be able to rise in the scale of moral and social independence . We have every reason to expect that Mr Town ' s visit to tbe above places , will be attended with much good , as an accession has already been made to our numbers . Scotland . —Mr Claugban , on Friday attended a large meeting of the Trades of Saltcoats , Ayrshire ; ac which meeting , he fully explained the laws and objects ofthe Association ; an excellent spirit was manifested , and a resolution in favour of the Association was unanimously carried .
Paislet . —Mr Claughan delivered a lecture to a very laree and attentive audience in Paisley church . About 1600 were present . Tha lecturer entered into a very animated and lucid explanation of the principles and objects of the Association . At the close of tho lecture , a resolution in favour of joining the Association was carried . Glasgow . —Mr Claughan attended a meeting of the boot and shoemakers . The meeting was a good one , and a favourable impression was made upon them . The principles of the National Association are engaging general attention , and many who , at the first , looked upon us with suspicion , now are eager for an opportunity ef bearing those principles expounded , and we have no doubt that , when trade revive ; , the adhesions will be numerous .
Aberdeen . —Mr Claughan , on Friday , October the 8 th , addressed a public meeting ef tho working men of Aberdeen , in the Union Hall , explanatory of the principles and objects of the National Asssooiation . Mr James M ' Pberson , { candidate at the late election , for the representation of the city of Aberdeen in Parliament , ) was called upon to preside , who stated that he had much pleasure in presiding at such a meeting—tho way in'which the central committee of the National Association had hitherto conducted its affairs , could not but command th * approval of every friend of labour , and every lover of justice . The association sought not to take an undue advantage of masters ; it aimed only at thi > settlement of disputes , in such a * ay as would afford
to capital its just return , and to labour its just reward . In proof of this he referred to the manner in which the Camolin or St Nimin ' s nail makers' differences were decided ; being but one case out of many , which could be adduced : The chairman , after other appropriate remarks , introduced Mr Claughan , who , on rising , apologised for his absence at the meeting called on Tuesday evening , which was caused by the steam-boat being detained lour hours later than her usual time by the storm . He said , you have not before you a man possessed of great powers of language—one who studies to appeal to feelings—but you have before you one _ of yourselves , one who knows what it is to toil for his bread , who has experienced all the hardships and the
effects of insufficient remuneration , but despite of all these considerations , ho hoped to be able to show , that it is only by depending upon your own order , and on your own efforts , that you will be able to secure to industry , its j ust rights . Hitherto the working classes have been their own enemies ; the ) have bad no confidence in each other ; and all sympathy between oae trades' union and another had been almost obliterated . How often have we seen , that when one trade was contending for justice , and resisting the encroachments of unprincipled employers , another trade , the members of which were enjoying all their privileges , have only laughed at the efforts of their more unfortunate brethren ? The truth of this statement is borne out by the history
of strikes—hence witness the strike of the Glasgow cotton spinners and Dorchester labourers , and many others that could be enumerated . The National Association of United Trades , proposes and will ( if acted np to , ) remedy those evils , and effect much good , that could not otherwise have been obtained . The National Association seeks , in the first place , to create that sympathy and mutual co-operation of one trade with another . Hie want of which has been so deeply feit . It wills , that no trade , ( however just its claims might be ) , shsuld enter into a struggle , without a certainty of victory . It depends mort upon its moral power , than upon its financial strength ; although in the latter respect its superior power must appear evident . Strikes are the
Association ' s last alternative , but when it enters upon such proceedings , the unprincipled capitalists may expect to meet with the combined , undivided , and underEiTABLB power of . ten thousand unions instead ol one . The National Association seeks not to destroy unions already established , but to cement them in one greatconibination— ' A Usion of Millions . ' Mr Claughan then entered into a lengthy explanation of the Holy town strike , and showed that no real failure had taken p lace—that the men had gone in , but it was with their rights and privileges uncontaminated with the pollution of an -infernal document . It wss true that one shilling per day had been tsiken off their wages , and although that was more than tho circumstances of the case
warranted , still it was to bo borne in mind , that tht miners were at the present time receiving four shillings per day for what they some time ago were only in the receipt of two shillinps per day . This advance had been obtained by restricting the hours of labour . Mr C . also showed the power that every trade bad for raising wages , by curtailing the hours of toil , and by this means they would decrease the stock , create a demand for labour , and as the demand for labour increased the price of industry would increase at the same ratio . The lecturer then adverted to the Association for the Employment of Labour , and showed the immense advantages that would , nccrur to the working classes trom fie practical working ol such an association , where their funds would be
eraployed re-proilucrivcly , instead of being wasted in fruitless turnouts . This method of adjusting differences with employers , by siting the men to work , was a new feature in the history of trades' unions , and must ultimately succeed . in overthrowing the rule of tyranny and despotism , and elevate to a proper standard the much-injured and long-insulted operative . Mr C ' . ' concluded an address full of tacts , which told well in favour of the Association . Mi Shirron rose to propose a resolution , by observing that Mr Claughan had addressed a meeting on the previous evening , where theyhad pledged themselves to become members of the Association . He was desirous that this meeting should follow the wise
example . After the comprehensive address of Mr Claughan it would bo presumption to detain them with any remarks of his , but he should move the following resolution : — ' That this meeting having heard the principles of the National Association fully explained by Mr Claughan , ore perfectly convinced that these principles are well calculated to work out the social redemption of the working classes , and will eventually secure to labour its full fruits ; and in proof of our feelings we pledge ourselves to extend the grounds of the institution by becoming members , and otherwise advocating Its claims . ' Mr Low seconded the resolution , which was carried unanimously . A vote of thanks te the lecturer and chairman terminated tho business of the evening .
On Saturday , Mr Claughan addressed a meeting of the ropcspinners . ' who have passed a resolution approving of the principles ofthe Association . On Monday , he addressed the baot and shoemakers , who agreed to join forthwith . On Tuesday , Mr Claughan addressed a meeting ofthe tailors , encouraging them to go on in the good work they havo entered upon . Glasgow . —On Tuesday , Nov . 2 nd , Mr'Cloughan attended a general meeting of tlie mule workers in Leigh Kirk Sescion-house , on which occasion , he delivered an address explanatory of the objects of
tho Association , and tbe following resolution was unanimously carried : — ' That this meeting , having heard the principles and objects of the National Association by Mr Claughan , are of opinion , that such a combination is the best calculated to improve the moral and social condition of the working classes of this country . Also , that this meeting is resolved never to relax in exertions , until we , tho self-acting mule workers of Glasgow , are thoroughly organised ; and we earnestly call upon all parties connected with this branch of trade , in every town in the United Kingdom , to lose no time in uniting themselves with the great efficient consolidated union . '
Moved by Mr John M'Mutrie , and Becofided bj Mr John M'Avoy . A meeting of the coopers of Greenock , in connection with the above association , took placeon Wedaesday evening , which was addressed by Mr Claughan , explanatory of the principles and working of tho society . After the address Mr Claughan displayed a quantity of goods manufactured by workmen employed by the society , and showed the utility of such a system as had been adopted as superior to paying men for walking about idle , which proved often injurious to themselves , in time of strikes . It
seems this society has at the present time about one hundred and forty workmen employed , consisting ol boot and shoe makers , frame-work knitters , weavers , Ac . The object ofthe union is to eontolidatc the various trades into one union , in order that the united strength of the producing classes may be brought to bear more successfully against the reduction of wages- . —First , by an endeavour to mediate between the employer ond the emoloycd , in cases oi dispute ; secondly , where mediation fails , and wherever such is practicab e , to employ the , wg k . men at their own trade .

On 'Ihursday evening Mr Claughan addressed 4 meeting ofthe cotton-spinners of Johnstone on tho principles and objects of the National Association . At tho clo ; e of Mr Claughan ' s address , a vote of confidence in the association was unanimously p assed , nnd the thanks of the meeting given to Mr Claughan for his address . ¦ A meeting of the cotton'Spinners of Glasgow took place in the Victoria Hall , Gallowgate , on Friday eveni n " , to which Mr Claughan was invited , to ex-Natmnal Assocmtionami
plain the principles of the , addressed the meeting at considerable length . After which , several questions were put by the members , which Mr Claughan answered to their satisfaction , when the following resolution was adopted unanimously :- « That this meeting , h »? ing heard Mr Claughan explain the principles of the NatlOBfti Association of United Trades , are perfectly satisfied that it would bo for our benefit to become members , and , therefore , agree to the principles , and pledge ourselves to use our exertions to get all the cottonspincers to join throughout Scotland . ' The thanks of the meeting were afterwards awarded to Mr Claughan for his able address . ¦ els
BiRMiNOHAM .-Messrs Smith , Pare , and Wford ; attended as a deputation from the Birmingham district committee , to the body of iron tin spoon makers at the Two Brewers in Bardsley-street , oa Monday , Nov . 1 st , to explain the principles and objects of the National Association . There was a good attendance , and the deputation was listened to with the greatest attention , at the close of which the following resolution was adopted : — 'That this meeting having heard the principles of the National Association expounded by the deputation , are fully satisfied that it is not only far superior to any local union , but that it is fully capable of emancipating
Labour ' s sons in this great manufacturing country ; We are further convinced , that it only requires the respectable employers to be acquainted with itsmanagement , to conclude that itis as equal protective to them , as to those they employ . We , therefore , pledge ourselves to become members forthwith- ' Proposed by Mr J . flawkes , and seconded by Mr Wm . Davis . Also , the following resolution was unanimously carried : — 'That this meeting considers that the Northern Star is the only paper published that gives a full report of the proceedings of tbe National Asssciation ; and they tender their thanks to the editor and proprietor of the same , and pledge themselves to ' advocate its circulation to the utmost of their
power . Willbxuall , Nov . 2 sd . —Mr Robson attended at Willenhall in a case of mediation . It appears several of the employers have given a fortnight ' s notice of a reduction . Tho number affected by this intended reduction , in connexion with the Association , is about 100 . Mr Robson was deputed by the Central Committee to wait upon the employers , with the view of adjusting tho dispute by mediation , and accordingly waited upon Mr Tildesley , one of the largest manufacturers of that town , who received him very courteously , and treated him in the most gentlemanly manner . A verv interesting discussion took place , in which Mr Tildesley spoke of the impossibility of stocking work in the present state of tho money market , showing that he was obliged to take bills .
and that he could not have those bills discounted under nine per cent ., and that it was impossible for him to carry on business , unless he reduced the wages of the workmen , to enable him to meet this exorbitant per ccntage . In reply , Mr Ilobson stated that the National Association was perfectly aware of the truth of Mr Tildesley's position respecting the difficulties in obtaining cash , but , at the same time , he thought that was no argumentin favour , or in justification of a reduction of wages . He showed that a ? reduction of the workmen ' s prices was no benefit to the employer , as it went into the pockets of the factors . And that the best remedy was , for the manufacturers to make no more goods than what they had immediate orders for , as it would bo infinitely
better for tbe men to share the employers' difficulties , when trade was so much depressed as at the present time ; as the men would prefer to work short time , rather than suffer a reduction in the price of their labour . After a lengthened interview , Mr Tildesley honourably agreed to Mr Robson ' s proposition . Mc Robson also waited upou ; Mr Walker . With this gentleman , Mr R . met with a very kind reception , andafter considerable discussion , similar to that with Mr Tildeslfv , terminated with Mr Walker promising to forego the threatened reductioa . This is another 4 orious proof of the moral power of the Association ,. and of
and demonstrates the utility excellency mediation , where an amicable adjustment between employers and their men had been effected , and S serious reduction prevented ; and instead of both parties 'nurturing a spirit of anger and malice towards each other , the most kind and friendly feelings are engendered . The advantages in favour of the men are great . They will have to work four days only , but had the reduction been forced upon them , they would have had to work six days—producingonethird more goods for the same wages , they will now receive for their four days' labour . This glorious triumph has created a great sensation in and round Willenhall 1
