} 0 XHE IMPERIAL CHARTISTS . jfr jft Deab FBl KNDg , I i « I t old you , the Nottingham election has U bli the press of the factions into silence , Wii the factions of Europe into astonishment . > J jess of France looks upon the Netting tyr Section as the most important result of jj ^ jjn tiroes , while our own virtuous press t 5 ^ , 5 i tas w » mparativelyinsignificant . Thus , :
h' j ha ve told you , all changes come from id ^ d ; and we have little to expect from our litjjdians at home . I told you that the great : fig of the infusion of Chartist blood into the s' jeof Commons was , that there the advoiG ^ of our principles would let Europe and p t oppressors understand , that Chartism was , e rL er annihilated b y persecution , nor intimijf jfj by despotism . The Times is compelled J * sp jt its spleen upon the several Chartist infl ates who offered themselves forpojA it support , and rejoices that our Har-L the Chartist , was defeated at Ti-
Ofrfon ; while having read his speech—his igpsfiag speech—his lucid , comprehensive tyd statesmanlike speech—a speech which elici ted from his opponent , the Minister for Foifjjffn aflairs , avowals , confessions , and declare-^^ s , at variance with his assurances made to Ipgrliament , induces me to look upon the ^ sp eech of Mr Harney as the most important ijesult of the recent elections . It was well , snd in character , that the FEEDING MINISTER of the Whig Cahinet should attempt to treat his manly opponent with levity and
iiidicule ; hut it mil teach the nohle lord , and ithose who heard it , that the thinkers of the jay do not form their opinions of public men brine character given of them by the press . Jbe very fact of the Times rejoicing' in the grfeat of Harney , and the fact of the limes being' obliged to publish five or six columns of a reply to a speech , not one word of which it lares to publish , will convince foreign readers , and the conductors of foreign-newspapers , that there is something powerful in a principle * hich our domestic guardians see prudence in concealing , but cannot destroy by secrecy .
V » e have now an analysis of the present House of Commons sufficiently explicit to en able us to come to a conclusion upon the p rospects of Whiggery , and that conclusion is , that the Ministry is powerless to carry out what its supporters expect ; and , ' therefore , other Russell mast join with Peel upon those p rinciples of moderate Conservatism which trill insure the allegiance of the JANISSA Rl £ S , and disappoint his party—or he will fall a victim to a coalition of the Peel and Bentinck party . Earl Grey is the man to whom I look as the only asserter of those
principles which Russell is pledged to carry oat- ^ or rather which his supporters expect from him , as he has given no pledges . I told Hobhouse , at his election in 1846 , that the elements of dissolution were in the Cabinet ; as J firmly believe that Earl Grey will not be a party to any compromise entailing the necessity of a coalition of which he does not app rove . I state these circumstances to prepare you for the fact that Earl Grey , and his party in the House ofCommons . will gotothe country , and that , ere long , upon measures which he will propound as indispensable to the realisation of the Reform Bill .
They call Earl Grey crotchetty , the Parliamentary meaning of which is—having a mind of Ms own ; and he must see , that a hundred and twenty thousand tenant-slaves—called tenants-at-will—constituting the balance of electoral power—is incompatible with the essence , the spirit , and the working of his fathers Reform measure , and any minister will and that nearly 100 railway directors , chairmen of railways , builders , and engineers , constitute a staff which it will be impossible to mould to political purposes without a quid pro mo in the shape of jobbing patronage .
1 will now make you familiar with the manner in which the growth of property operates npon the House of Commons . From the time that manufacturers began to accumulate wealth by machinery , till die passing of the Reform BUI in 1832 , the power of the landlord class , which up to that time was predominant , became weaker every year , and the Reform Bill gave capitalists a participation in legislation . From that period to the present , railway speculation has been competing for its share of legislation , and the result is nearly 100 members , whose sole consideration will be the advocacv of their favourite lines . Before
Parliament met in January last , I wrote an article in the Labourer , recommending Lord John Russell to appoint a body of railway management apart from the House of Commons j but so powerful was the railway influence that he feared the attempt ; and hence we find a majority of the time of the Famine Soup Kitchen Parliament monopolised by railway squabbles . 2 ? ow , I have no hesitation
whatever in affirming , that as in France , so it will be in England . Members of Parliament will be—I won ' t say what—yes , induced to support this or that line , in p roportion to the wealth of the contending parties ; and I have not the slightest hesitation in saying , that many a noble lord , and many » wealthy commoner—of course not belonging to either House of Parliament —will be baited on the
golden hook . Many a man will be-released from beggary and bankruptcy by servility and prostitution ; and thus , within fifteen years , the country ' s honour , and the people ' s rights , will ha \ ? e been bartered to three different factions . There is a solicitor in Manchester , in do practice , who has received £ 10 , 000 , in two Sums of . £ 5 , 000 each , within the last year , as a part of the condition consequent upon the surrender of two opposing lines . Now , where does that money come from ? For that is the question ; and what is a vote worth , if compensation to a solicitor is worth . £ 10 , 000 ?
In Peel ' s administration , we had the exposure of two members , in high government offices , being convicted of peculation , and the English punishment was sympathy for the offenders . A precisely similar occurrence happened in France , and there the punishment was three years imprisonment , a fine of 95 , 000 francs , loss of the peerage , and of civil rights , in one case ; and a fine of 10 , 000 francs , and loss of civil rights , in three other cases . So that you see how differently France and England deal with moral delinquents and political offenders . In England there is sympathy—in France there is punishment—for moral delinquents . In England there is a royal marriage , royal births ,
rejoicings for conquests—and the hulks and the felon ' s cells are searched for objects of royal favour ; in France there are domestic congratulations , and political offenders of the highest class are objects of the royal clemency . And yet in England the people have abundantly more power ; but for the first time within the memory of man , they are bringing that power into active operation , and if there is one circumstance more than another which enrages the press of the factions , it is the fact that exhibitions of popular strength give the lie to their published nonsense , and convince foreigners that they are but the agents of a doomed and Spiring oligarchy .
We then turn to poor Eliza Cook , the Weekly Dispatch , and we find this amphibious thing Sitting its poor venom at the Nottingham eetion . A dying horse kicks hard , and poor Alderman Banner and his staff , that made their money by the dissoluteness of the age thev throve in , hoped to prop their little regaining power , bv joining in the cry against ta rgets O'Connor . Poor , weak , silly , effemijate things ! thev never can forget the thrash-* 61 eave them " in 1838 and ' 39 , when 1 HK

DailyiTmm ffv ^ report upon *• " VAl L 1 LABOURS of old women and invalids has not saved their exchequer ; while the Illustrated London News has brought their customers to the « Shop over the way . " Even the ghost of the departed Puhlicola catft save them . It is a legal fiction " that the king tan never die ; and so , we presume , with the other estate , which preserves its monarchy when its contributor shall be no more . Poor Publicola has bee * gathered to his fathers for many a long month , K ut he still faintly lives in the shady co ! i > r « n of the expiring Dispatch . The poor dry bread Sydney Smith , the exploded tool of the League ,
weekly spits his dry foam , for it dries like a cuckoo ' s spittle , and leaves no trace of the froth behind . What a staff to guide public opinion 1 What a committee of censors to expose public wrong J Bat my advice to them , and all other such , is to bundle up their traps , as the people are becoming too moral , too wise , and too thoughtful to be juggled by caterers for the gratification of those morbid passions upon which the Newgate collectors lived . Two or three parties havesent mealittle SUPfrom the Gardener ' s Florist , and have asked me to give them a TOUCH , but it ' s just what the creatures want . Now who reads such rubbish as
that ? Our correspondent writes to know whether Carpenter , whom hk friend Hobson painted in such glowing colours in thefSfar , is also the editor of that ? I really can't say—the employments of this mountebank have been so multifarious , that it ' s impossible to tell whether , as Hobson stated , he is yet the keeper of a , or whether he lives at all in Portugal-Street ; for my own part , I don't think he lives very long in any one place ; I know he was the physico-moral Chartist in the Conference of 1839 , when he crossed the blunderbuss and spear over his head , and said , "THOSE
WERE THE CHARTIST ARMS j" and I know that he is the same man who was so drunk , as Chairman at the dinner , given to Buncombe , on the presentation of the National Petition , that he couldn ' t lie on the ground without holding ; and yet this is another instructor of youth , exposer of immorality , and defender of the faith , and so forth . W . P ., from Huddersfield , appears to think that his former friend and master , Mr Hobson , has been handed from the threepenny trash to the penny
hotbed , and he makes some other remarks , which we feel no disposition to publish ; we are opposed to backbiting of every description , and Mr Hobson , and all other men , have a perfect right to take what advantage spleen dictates , or opportunity affords ; but these things are only done behind men's backs , and I can ' t be everywhere , and I refer the writer and his aidde-camp to the reply of a real four acre shareholder of flesh and blood , and not a four acre shareholder in the clouds .
Now , my friends , I have disposed of Parliament parties and the press-gang , and I turn to what is of much more importance—the absolute necessity of preparing your petition sheets for the Charter , so that we may take the very earliest opportunity of testing the DEVOTED members in the new Parliament . This will send our principles , our adherence , and resolution throughout the world , and will
convince foreignhations that the mind s growth can . neither be suppressed nor concealed by . a venal , a corrupt , and prostitute press . Petition sheets , pens and ink , will be distributed in convenient places over Lowbands , on the day of demonstration , and I trust that every man , woman , and child , who will be then convinced of what Chartism would make national , will sign it . Your faithful Friend and Bailiff , Feargus O'Connor .
P . S . —My friends , to be forewarned is to be fore-armed . Cobden is returned for the West Riding ; there will be a vacancy for Stockport , hut the election cannot take place till after Parliament meets . Now is the time to muster your forces . Mr Sturge is the only man of our party you can return when there is only one vacant seat . Occupy the ground in time , and tell the Whigs that it shall be either Sturge or a Tory . Now do this , or you will have some beaten Whig Minister , or some tool of faction , imposed upon you . Occupy the ground for Sturge , and then you will have the claim of being first in the field .

To Mr Gardener Florist, Or The Four Acre...
TO Mr GARDENER FLORIST , OR THE FOUR ACRE SHAREHOLDER THAT DOESN'T EXIST . Sir , I presume some one of your people sent me a number of a paper that I never heard of before , as 1 don ' t take it , and it appeared to come fresh from the office . I read it , and I never read more unprofitable rubbish . You seem to wonder how a hundred and thirty thousand pounds capital will buy more than £ 130 , 000 worth of land . Now , sir , you have not studied
the Land Flan , and you know nothing of reproduction . How does a builder , beginning with £ 1 , 000 , or a less sum , build £ 100 , 000 worth of houses ? Of course , by mortgaging them ; and can t the same be done with land ? the Bank lending the money instead of the capitalist ; hut , perhaps , you never thought of that . Do you suppose us so foolish , sir , as to believe , at entering , that four acres of land can be purchased , a house and out-buildings erected , other improvements made , and £ 30 given , out of £ 5 6 s . 4 d . r any more than that the amount paid for shares ih a railway would
complete the works ofthe company ? Dont you know , sir , that almost all companies raise money at five per cent . ' to complete their works ; and then , as to the purchaser coming in and ousting us all , you haven ' t read our rules , or , if you have , you don ' t understand them , for if you did you'd know , that , when a shareholder gets the conveyance of his allotment , no new purchaser could demand a farthing more than the rent stated in that conveyance . Oh ! but , you say , you haven ' t got your conveyance ; well , but I am as sure of it as if I had it , and I work at my allotment the same as if I had it ; and you say that the land is not to be mortgaged or sold , so what have I to fear ? Your reasoning is good for nothing ,
because , when gentlemen , without the security of labour , can get p lenty of money at 3 and 3 { per cent , upon mortgage , where will be the difficulty of our trustees raising money at 4 per cent , with the addition of all our labour given as security ? You see , sir , we are getting too wise for you and Jos . Hobson , and what we advise you is to stick to your penny pictures and your Newgate Calendar , and leave us to manage our own affairs , because you have had a great many answers to your impudent questions in the fact that every week , after your rubbish appears , the funds of the Company are doubled and trebled . One thing that makes our property better security than a ny other property is , —
firstly , that all our work is done upon the co-operative system ; and secondly , all our labour goes to enhance the value ofthe security above the rate at which it is purcbaied . I am , Mr Gardener , Florist , James Gbaham , A real living four acre occupant , , ' who wouldn ' t sell you his lot , with all its liabilities , for £ 200 . .

THE DEMONSTRATION . ToVisitoj « £ > - -, -.,- ; , My Frietfr 38 , T-On Monday next , the Anniversary e ^ Peterlooj 45 honest working men and their families will be located in their own castles , on their own labour-field . The majority have already arrived , and on Monday they will tell you what I now tell you , that all , one and all , are more than satisfied with their lot . We expect the largest and most important Demonstration that has ever taken place in this country , because there will be something for the sight-seers to reflect
upon , something more lasting and durable than the longest yarn of flummery that the most ingenious could spin , all about his head being cut off , his right arm being severed from his body , and his lifeless corpse trampled by wild horses , before he would surrender the smallest particle of the glorious principles of the People ' s Charter ! Thank God . ' we have winnowed the chaff from the corn , and that our good works ; now stand sponsor to our future pledges . I . write this letter . more especially for the information and , guidance of visitors *—to tell them that
there are roads all through the estate , and temporary paths purposely left for the accommodation of that day , and to express a hope that the work of the season may not be destroyed by the thoughtlessness of an hour . There are nearly ten acres of grass land [ in the centre of the estate , commanding a view of the principal objects , and sufficiently large to accommodate all who wish to amuse themselves ; therefore , I have to express a fervent hope that no person visiting Lowbands will do any damage to the allotments of the occupants . Those coming in carriages , or on
horseback , can drive through the estate , and will then find accommodation for their horses and the safe custody of their carriages at Mr . RichardAston's , whosehouseandlandsisadjoining Lowbands . There will be ample provision there , and supplied on the ground by William Dixon of Manchester , and the several occupants , who will supply tea and cold provisions . This time there will be no charge of any sort for admission to the estate , and , therefore , all
such demands , if made , must be resisted . There will be a profusion of rhusfc , and everything that can conduce to sober and rational amusement . In the evening the cottages of the several occupants will be illuminated ; there will be a large bonfire , and dancing . Precisely at three o ' clock . there will be a public meeting in front of the school-house , and there will be no lack of speakers , as the directors , Messrs . Jones , Mc Douall , Harney , and a host of well-wishers , will be present .
I presume the delegates will be prepared to meet in Conference , at Nine o ' clock , on Monday morning , in order that the business may be proceeded with and terminated , so as to allow me and my staff to start for Oxfordshire , on Saturday , the 21 st ; as , although I do not pledge myself to it , I hope to complete 100 cottages there by the latter end of October . There we have quarries of the best description , lime and sand , upon the spot ; no
unimportant considerations , I assure you . Persons driving round the estate are requested to be careful , and not to damage the stone piers at the several entrances , and as for the fruit , I presume the several occupants will have an eye to their own store . I don't know of any other instruction necessary for visitors , and I have already mapped out the road for the several occupants and delegates . ... .. Tour faithful friend , Feargus O'Connor ,

To The Members Of The Land Company, And ...
TO THE MEMBERS OF THE LAND COMPANY , AND THE CHARTIST BODT GENERALLY . FaiEjiDs , —In my last I described my visit to Newcastle-under-Lyne , en Tuesday , the 20 th of July . On Wednesday , tbe 21 st , according to previous announcement , I went to Burslem , accompanied by several friends from Hanley , and there I encountered a brother ' Ram of Derby . ' Oar meeting was held in tbe Market-place . The first object that attracted our attention nag a fire-engine , placed a little in advance of tbe usual place of meeting . Some said it was intended to cool oar courage , if any of us attempted to speak , bat as that would have been a breach of tbe peace on the part of those who ordered it to be placed there , and a very harmless mode of doing so , I did not trouble myself about the rival spouter . A cask was very conveniently placed at the corner of the court-house , on which I mounted , and commenced my address .
I had not exceeded twenty minutes when a police officer came , and ordered the owner of the cask to remove it . I did not wait for the execution of that order , but descending immediately , I mounted a stone pillar . The policeman retired , as it afterwards appeared , to receive additional instructions from the magistrates who were assembled in the Court-house , and presently returned , with as order for me to desist . I refused , at the tame time cautioning the people on no account to Interfere , whatever might occur . A . body of police were then marched op , and I was requested to appear before the magistrates . ' Accompanied by Mr Pale , I accordingly adjourned to tbe magisterial presence . Tbe High Constable , when I demanded the reason of being summoned before him , informed me that I could not be
allowed to speak in the- Market-place . ' For what reason ! ' 'Because it is oar property . ' 'I beg to differ with you there . The Marketplace is the property of tbe inhabitants of Burslem , and , as a proof of it , a certain number of householders can , on their own authority , summon a meeting there , even after you have refused the prayer of their requisition . ' ' You have not done so on this occasion ; besides , we have had disturbances at former meetings , and we are determined to prevent them . ' ' I have done what is equivalent to it . A number of householders are ready t » take npon themselves the re . sponsibillty this night ; and I ( turning to tbe police officer who summoned me ) call npon you to bear witness if I have not shown the . utmost anxiety to keep the peace . ' Policeman : * TT ou have , sir . *
A Doctor Somebody , who was present as a magistrate : ' You are a mere itinerant lecturer . ' ' And you are no gentleman , sir , to make use of such an observation , holding the office you do . I have been brought up as well , or perhaps better , than you have been . I consider your conduct improper and insulting . ' A Mr Johnston , another jastass , who evidently had been summoned from a jorial dinner table , trustees ' meeting , or electioneering , feed , starting up from his seat , exclaimed— 'You are a d——d scoundrel . '— 'And you are something worse to use such language in a jus * tice room , and ought to be fined . You are a disgrace to year office , ' ' I'llknock you down , you scoundrel , by G—d I will . ' 'Come and de it , if you caa or dare . ' He staggered up to the bar with clenched fist . I waited for him , but the high constable caught his hand when raised to strike , and , interposing , said— ' You will make allow , ante for the state he is in . ' ' I could and will makebim allowance as a man , but not as a magistrate . '
To curtail the report ; I insisted on | speaking , if it was merely p > protect my own party , and prevent a breach of the peace , The high constable seemed disposed to yield , but tbe others would sot allow him , I did , however , address the meeting , sod was again brought up , when I reprimanded the bench for their riotous conduct , and declared my intention to have a requisition of the householders , and summon and hold a meeting in spite of them . I then went down and adjourned the meeting to a waste piece of ground , and a tremendous gathering we had . The matter shall not rest here . If I should not be required at Conference oh the 16 th , 1 will proceed to Wolverhampton , and agitate that district , until the camp meeting , on the 22 nd , attfewtou Moor , at which tbe Liverpool men have requested my attendance .
I , according to the particular request of Mr O'Connor and Mr Roberts , attended the Blackburn election . We lost it by being too late in the field ; but , according to tbe opinion of all parties , secured it for the next time . The enthusiasm of the people was marked and decided . Not a flag of tbe enemy waved . Not a band , save our own , raised its cheering netes . They tried to ride us down , when marching in procession , with their carriage horses at full epeed , but every one of the enemy ' s conveyances was promptly arrested , and compelled to turn Oa Sunday , the 1 st , I lectured in Liverpool * ° » TCT * spirited audience . . I shall lecture fa Chester , and , if possible , sot ** V i of North Wales . i

( Jas . flaissBr , Sec , Tiverton . —A meeting was convened on Friday evening ; by the friends of the Charter , at the White Bali Inn , to adopt the best means of carrying out the noble principles recently advocated on our hustings by Mr Julian Harney . A committee of twelve was chosen , and from them was selected a president , treasurer , and secretary . A great number of members have been enrolled , and more are expeted at the next meeting ., . The Tiverton Chartists return their thanks to the eleetorsand nen-electors of Nottingham for' ths , return of our honest friend and leader , te ' argus O'Connor , to the Commons' House of Parliament , The Tivertonions will endeavour to fo : low their example ^ t the next election ; Tower Hamlets . —At a recent meeting , votes ' of
thanks were passed to tbe electors of the Tower Hamlets and Nottingham , for the election of George Thompson , Esq ., and Peargus O'Connor , Esq . Wakefield ;— Prcgksbs op Chartism . —On Friday evening , the 6 th instant , a public meeting was held in the large room , George and Crown Yard , to discuss the great and glorious principles of Democracy . At the time appointed , 8 o ' clock , the room filled , but soon after 8 , it was densely crowded . On the motion of Mr W . Dawson , seconded by Mr Wood , Mr S . Roodhouse took the chair , who , on coming forward , was received with cheers . After making a few remarks to the meeting on the right of the people to the franchise , and inviting the working classes to join the National Charter Association , he introduced Mr H . Exley to move the fir < t resolution . Mr
Exley was received with cheers . He commenced by reading the resolution , which was as follows : — That this meeting , being painfully convinced of the manifold grievances under which the great mass of the people surfer , are determined to use every legitimate means for their removal , and will adopt any remedy that appears satisfactory to us . Mr Exley made a powerful address , showing the evil results to tbe people of class legislation , and said , whenever the people , by moral force , were on the stepping stone of liberty , the Church and aristocracy had always stepped in and caused the people to resist force by force , { causing misery and bloodshed . It had been so in the time of Charles and James ; it had been so with the French Revolution , and it has ever been so when the people were on the road to
freedom . Mr £ . continued at great length to show the evil of a State Church and a standing army and navy , and of having to support an idle and profligate aristocracy ; and after calling upon the meeting to juin the Chartists in their attempt to gain their political freedom , he concluded by moving the resolution . ( Cheers . ) Mr John Hodgson seconded the resolution in a brief but telling speech . The chairman called upon Mr T . W . Lamb to support the resolution . Mr Lamb , on coming forward , was received with loud cheers . [ It may be necessary here to state that during the election for this borough , Mr Lambwaa waylaid in the night time by about fifty hired assassins , and cruelly beat with heavy bludgeons , and was left for dead . He had taken an active part against Mr Saunders , the Tory candidate , ( now member ) ,
and this was the reason why he was so used , But , thank God , he has rallied once more , to fight the battle of right against might , and justice against tyranny , ] Mr Lamb said , that the principles of Democracy were the princi p les of truth and justice , and there was never a truly great honest man , a man who felt , and struggled , and lived for the people , but tbat man was a democrat . He said it was a strange anomaly that the people , the masses , who are the only producers of wealth , should be the only class who are not represented . He claimed for tbe working man his rights , and no more . He had a right to the franchise , not becausehe rented a ten pound house , or possessed a forty shilling freehold , but because he was a man . He then showed that the Reform Bill was a fraud , a mockery , and a delusion ; for when the people joined the advocates of that measure , they were promised on every hustings , by the very men who are now at the head of affairs , that they would join them ( the people ) to obtain Universal Suffrage .
Had they done so ? No . There are only two men in the House of Commons _ who have the honesty and manliness to stick to their principles . He then continued at some length to show the justice ofthe principles of the Charter , and gave a clear and able exposition of the'Six Points . ' He then went on to prove that the people were able to exercise the Suffrage . Mr Lamb concluded a long and powerful speech , replete with good sense and sound argument , which it is impossible to do justice to without giving it whole and entire , by calling upon the persons present to come forward and join the Chartists in their efforts to regain their long lost rights . Mr Lamb was loudly cheered at the conclusion ot his address . Mr W . Dawson came forward to move the second resolution . He defended the Chartists from the charge of being destructives , and said they did not want to pull down , bat to build up , He then paid a just tribute to T . S . Duncombe , Esq ., for his patriotic , his manly , and honest defence of the rights of man . He moved the following resolution : —
That , having heard the able exposition of the principles ofthe People ' s Charter by Mr Lamb , this meeting considers such principles paramount to every other question that can agitate the public mind ; this meeting , therefore , pledges itself forthwith to join tho National Charter Association of Great Britain , Mr Ward , late of Barns ) ey , seconded the resolution . The chairman then came forward and . said : before putting the resolntion he should like to hear an old friend whom he saw present , and whom he hoped would come forward to support the resolution . He then called Mr Joseph Horner —( loud cheers)—to address the meeting . Mr Horner said , he did not expect being called upon to address them on this occasion , therefore , for this reason , and tbe high temperature of the room , he would not occupy much
of their time . He then defended the people from the charge of being ignorant , and stated tbat his poorer brethren had as much right to the franchise as he had . Mr Horner concluded a brief but pithy speech amidst loud cheers . The chairman having put the resolution , which was carried , Mr Horner again rose and said—he would willingly join them in their efforts to better their condition , and he would give them one sovereign per year , and assist them when required , to pay any expences incurred in getting up meetings like the present . ( Loud cheers . ) After the meeting twenty-nine new members , were enrolled , thus showing the good that had been produced upon the meeting . On Monday evening , the Oth instant , an united tea party of the members of the Land Company and the members of the National Charter Association
was held in Mr Lancaster ' s . ' arge room , to commemorate the return of Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., not only as the representative of the electors and nonelectors of Nottingbam , but of the people of England . After the numerous company had freely partaken of ' the cap which cheers bnt not inebriates . ' Mr R . Brooke was appointed chairman , who called upon Mr Dawson to address the meeting . Mr Dawson passed a high meed of praise on the electors and nonelectors of Nottingham for sending to Parliament a man who has manfully struggled against , and at last succeeded in beating down , prejudice , and who has spent more time , more money , and more strength , than any other man living in the cause of the people . After entering at some length on Mr O'Connor ' s Land Plan . Mr Dawson concluded by moving the following resolntion : —
That the best thanks of this meeting are due and hereby given to the elector * andnon . eltctors of Hotting * ham , for the noble and praiseworthy example they have set to the country by returning to Parliament that distinguished patriot , Feargus O'Connor , Esq . MrW . T . Lamb seconded the resolution in a short , but effective speech . The chairman put the resolution to the meeting , which was carried by acclamation . The rest of the evening was spent in enjoying tho merry dance , and liutenirig to the enlivening songs . The company separated highly delighted with the whole proceedings . We are indebted to the female Chartists of Wakefield for this manifestation of respect to our ' old general ' Mr O'Connor . After all expenses had been paid , there remained £ 1 Is , fid . for the Nottingham Election Fund .

To The Electoks And Non-Electobs Of Tive...
TO THE ELECTOKS AND NON-ELECTOBS OF TIVERTON . Gentlemeh ,-U is with heartfelt gratitude that I now tender you ray thanks for the honour you conferred on me at the recent election in according me ' the show of hands . ' That I am not at this moment your returned msmber is owing to no
unwillingness on your part ; but to that great defect in our constitution by which the mass of the people are deprived of their birthright—the power of electing their own representatives ; a power which Justice imperatively demands , and which Policy must , ere long , concede . I now repeat the announcement made on the hustings , that whenever another election shall take place I . shall again solicit the honour oi your ,, suffragesj and prove my confidence in your favourable ' regard by going to the poll ,
Having so recently and so fully explained to you my principles , and those principles having received so cordial a sanction from you , it is unnecessary for me to enter now into any detail of them . Suffice it , they are not Huntings sentiments , intended as a bye-road to popularity , to be repudiated on the first favourable opportunity , they are the results of deep and earnest conviction , and of life-long experience ; they were not assumed to gain your votes—they have guided and influenced every action of my life . And whilst our people are perishing for lack
of food , and our prisons are filled with criminalswhilst offences are committed even by the novice in guilt , because the criminal is treated with more humanity than the starving pauper—whilst the laws of man separate those whom God has joined together—and whilst the sentences of judges have become lenient , and the verdicts of juries equivocal ; because Humanity could not endure to contemplate ( he legalised murdeis that would otherwise be the result of the innumerable illegal and secret ones , I
feel tbat further proof of the inefficiency o { the present system cannot be needed by any enlightened mind—tbat the laws ( direct and indirect ) for the prevention of poverty and crime have signally failed—that a very different course of legislation alone can in future be regarded as either just or politic—and that the principles embodied in the People ' s Charter are such as" ought to govern the People ' s Lawmakers , since they alone are based on that precept of Justice— ' Do unto thy fellow-ro . au as thou wouldest he should do to thee '
I acknowledge with pleasure the general courtesy of my opponent and his supporters ; any trifling exceptions ta this courtesy I desire to forget as heartily as I forgive . Special thanks are due to the Mayor of Tiverton , for his honourable and impartial conduct . Tiverton is fortunate in possessing so upright a chief magistrate , and may feel more secure of the peace and good-feeling under the rule of one who makes iustice and' fair play' his motto , than if an army of the new police were stationed in the town .
And now , while compelled to use that painful word' Farewell , ' I must add my firm resolve that it shall be but for a time . As the Doge of Venice was wedded to the Adriatic , so am I wedded to Tiverton , a spot in which I find more mental , as well as outward , charms than ever bridegroom did in his bride . Whilst I gazed on your lovely scenery and contemplated the peaceful rural life of the suburbs , and the public energy and political knowledge inseparable from manufactures ; whilst my
eyeswere rivetted first on the busy town , with its lovely women , and its patriotic . men—and then on the Elysian country round it ; whilst my heart beat warmly in response to the courtesy of the higher classes , and the enthusiasm and sterling devotion ofthe people , I vowed , that ( life permitting ) the day should come when I would return to , and be returned for , that Eden-like spot to which I tender the dedication of my every energy , thought , and aspiration .
Again , then , and again , accept my warmest gratitude for your kindness , with my assurance that my conduct shall , ever justify your confidence—and a hope , and most trusting belief , that the next time I tender you my thanks it will be as M . P . FOR TIVERTON . I am , Gentlemen , Your grateful and faithful se rvant , Brampton , Middlesex , G . Jo-lu uarnbv . August 10 , 1847 .
