The Moremeat Is Gathering Once More In T...
The moremeat is gathering once more in the mightiness of its majesty , stronger in its intellectual aspect in the eyes of all classes of society . Reformers of all shades are besieging the strongholds of corruption , and , if we be but true to ourselves , the contest cannot long be doubtful ; and , sooner or later , the superstructure , which , is based on the ruin and misery of the proletarian classes , must fall . The victims of Whig spies and informers are emerging from their . dungeons , apparently
with increased ardour and affection for the principles of political justice ; their zeal whetted more keenly , and with resolves fixed mere than ever to stick to the old banner . The movement promises soon to become as vigorous as any in the history of Britain , demonstrating , tiie utter impossibility of arresting ihe march of Democracy , even amid the fire of persecntioa . - Brothers , many of you know to what a condition tens of thousands have been reduced :
a vast number are now sunk into the lowest depths of despair , by poverty , degradation , and crime . The statistics of the public press bear ample testimony to the fact , that the ^ condition of the labouring classes is becoming worse every year . The labourer , on account ¦ of repeated reductions , hasTbeen obliged to 'part with every comfort ; his very means of -subsistence have been forced down to the star-Tation point ; a false , selfish , unnatural , and
grasping theory of political economy has vitiated our entire system ; the poison of its influence is difiused throughout all the ramifications of society . Capital , instead of being subservient to Labour , which created it , has become its tyrant and master . Such is the 'Condition of the free labourer of Britain , that tsre hear the slavery aholitionists telling the planters of America , that free labour must and trill become cheaper than that of their slaves .
Will Scotchmen remain quiescent rwhen England is on the move ? -What . ' will yon pay a tribute of respect to the names and memories of a Palmer and a Muir , and not struggle to perpetuate the motives and the principles hy widen they were actuated ? What J do you not hear that Erin ' s sons are -making their voices echo as one through the trumpetof democracy ? Once again , we ask y ou
if you are prepared for such a fate as thewhite slaveholder of this country tells the black slaveholder of America is yours ? Are ye content , all ye who have assisted in raising this country to the highest pitch of wealth and commercial grandeur , to p ine in hopeless wretchedness ? If you are , hug your chains , and overpowering toil and : endless privations is what you will have to endure . fathers of the
As you , the rising generation , are exhausting your - physical energies , so your progeny will become more weak and imbecile ; in the same ratio . Yoor children are sad now , but they will be Badderas their lives lengthen . If you are defernuned to remain in a state of apathy , until « lass legislation has finished its deadly work , } ou wnlhave a double amount of misery and Restitution to hequeath to your offspring . f Tust it he their lot thus to suffer ? Never ! it * s the ordination of heaven , that man should earn bis bread hy the sweat of his brow ; the ^ x ° ? is , that you have to sweat for others in-^ ead of yourselves . In accordance with these Jfews , we have resolved to hold a general
SCOTTISH CHARTIST , CONVENTION , TO THE CHARTISTS OP SCOTLAND . ' I " iXiAW-CoTJ 3 iiBTMEN ,---We feel it a duty incumbent upon us to address you at the pre--sent momentous and interesting era of our movement . - There never was a time when it was more necessary to throw off that apathy which has hitherto paralyse * theeftorts of the staunch advocates of the . People ' s Charter , both in and out of Parliament , and emboldened . 1 he Premier ( Lord John Russell , } to resist the demand for popular right , and falsely representing the people as being satisfied , and not -wanting reform . The circumstances impending over our country , behove us to rouse the dormant energies of the masses , for the Detainment of their social and political rights .

- . m GRAND WHITSUNTIDE CHARTIST HOLIDAY . ; EXCURSION TO GRATESEND AND KENTISH DEMONSTRATION . On Tuesday morning , May the 21 st , at a quarter past eight , hundreds of good and true Democrats might have been seen- wending their way to London Bridge , determined to leave the loom , shuttle , bench , last , and desk for at least twelve hours , and enjoy the refreshing air of Essex and Kent , and the breezes of " Old Father Thames , " by joining the Provisional Committee of the National Charter Association in an Excursion to Gravesend . That elegant ' and commodious
steam-boat the Gem , was moored off Fresh Wharf , and on the arrival of the Provisional Committee , headed by Messrs . G . J . Harney Reynolds , & c ., it was greeted with hearty plaudits of welcome . The moorings being loosened , at nine o ' clock we found ourselves gliding down the pool , amidst a forest of masts , WalteryCox ' s brass band playing the enlivening strains ,, " The days we went a Gypsying a long time ago , " & c , ever and anon being recognised and greeted by some -friendly tar ^
each p ier adding to our numbers , until the Gem could take no more ; and presenting as respectable and animated a freight as ever the "GreatMeto ) poh s ; v . . ftunished , or "Whitsuu holidays ! ' sent forJfc / Woolwich is now past , the Essex marshes arid ^ entish hills present a most . 'strikmg- and . picturesque contr ^^ t & passengers of the Gem struck up that soulinspiring Hymn , " The Marsellaise . " The Town Pier being at length reached , and the disembarkation having taken place , amidst the hearty cheers of the bystanders ,
The procession was formed four a breast . The Provisional Committee at the head , the band in front playing " The Marsellaise . " The procession extended from the pier to the Wortham-road . The spacious grounds of the Bat and Ball Tavern being reached ,. ' the comf pany separated—some to visit Windmill-hill , and admire Rosherrille , whilst others engaged at an exhilarating game of cricket , base ball , and other recreations . At one o ' clock , the large Club Room was laid out with an excellent cold collation , embracing great variety , and suiting every taste .
The dinner was served up in good style ; and after the tables were cleared , Mr . T . Brown sang " The Marsellaise , " the whole audience joining in chorus . A collection was then made for the German and Polish refugees , and £ 1 10 s . was collected , and handed over to Mr . Langenschwarz , for presentation to the Committee in Greek-street , Soho . The waiters likewise learned that Chartists can be generous as well as just ; arid the various rails , boats , and roads , having brought a . large acquisition of democratic strength from Rochester , Stroud , Chatham , Sheerness , Tunbridge , Tunbridge-wells , Greenwich , Woolwich , Maidstone , & c , & c . The Grand Demonstration was formed in
an immense field , at the back of the Tavern . We have heard the numbers present variously estimated at seven , eight , and nine thousand ; and at three o clock precisely , Mr . John Randall * a resident of the town , was unanimously called to the chair , amidst loud cheers . The . Chairman said , they had assembled to consider matters of ayery serious nature , and he trusted they would meet with
that calm deliberation their merits so justly entitled them too ; the people of this country toiled long and hard , and were grieved to see the products of their industry lavished on the idle , the useless , arid the dissolute . He trusted they would g ive afair hearing to all who might present themselves to their notice , and doubtless a remedy would he pointed out for the grievousillswhichnow oppressed'therit . ( Loud cheers . ) "
Mr . G . W . M . Reynolds was announced to move the resolution as follows , amidst an enthusiastic burst of applause : — ' " That this meeting is of opinion that the People ' s Charter is only valuable as a means to . accomplish such Social Reforms as shall place so much of the materialsof the earthinthepossessioriof the people as shall enable the producer to retain a full share of the product of his own industry . "—Mr . Reynolds said , it gave him great p leasure to known that Chartism had at length ' reached Gravesend . The authorities and magnates of the town were alarmed at their
Demonstration , and feared that an emeute would take place ; but he wished them to know that the Chartists depended on reason and intelligence to make their beneficent principles paramount . The first great principle in the People ' s Charter , was universal suffrage , and he really could not understand upon what principle the few in any country made laws to bind the many , or why those who produced the necessaries and
luxuries of life , and contributed to all the taxes and other imposts , should be excluded from the rig hts of citizenship . ( Loud cheers . ) Was it rioht that one class should say to another : you are slaves , we possess power , and will retain it in spite of yon ; arid he was quite at a loss to understand upon what principle this was done . He knewihat the mass of the people had been declared ignorant , hut he believed that it was their practical intelligence that was feared ;

and he believed , if universal sunragaprevai the working people would returritoParK ^ Siit men who would amend frn ' anci ^^ irvand not aHomany-Royal ; Family > to i squander ) a million sterling of a nation ' s wealthi - ( Loud cheers . ) Was it not -monstrous that a ^ German Prince , simply because M &} . was si rich Queen ' s husband , shouldlhave ^ g iven : ! him 30 , 0007 . a year , besides the pay of a FiM Marshal , & c ., & c . . that the King of Hanoyer should take 27 , 000 / . per annum ; that the Dukeof Cambrid ge- ^ wealthy man-fsimply because he was a mad King ' s son , should take
0180 2 * 1 , 0001 , per annum . that : threeDukes should enjoy enormous pensions , upon no other ground than that they descended from Royal Mistresses ,, ( loud cheers ) that the Churchjbf England—as it wascailedi hut which was in reality only theCHurch of a s ' ect ^ shouid swallow up twelve millions per annum ? ( Great cheering ) . > Wasit prudent or wise to expect thafc . the House of Cpmriioris , which represented these parties , Wouldreform itself ? Np ; the only way by :, which- a T-eal reform . could be effected was for every man to possess a vote . ;^ ( Loud ^ cheers . ) They were j told " duf uhiyersal sro & xigo prevail they would have' * *
bloody , democracy ;; "hut he hpldl yi : p . 0 hi ^ ito . Fraiu ) % " and ( said , tiijete , uniyersalisiuB ^ epr ' e ? Vails , but its first fiflecfc wasjxr ' , ' p ri ' t down the ^ tiljal-scalfold , ; and ' allow > the ^ ilyrarits to escape , to exhibit s to the- world a nation ' s forbearance , and the huttanity of an all pQwerful and triumpharikdemocracy . ( Applauses ) But , 'wherever .. a : reaction had taken place , the people had heed made to feel a tyrant ' s vengeance , thusshpwingthat' it was in the . breasts of the so-called upper classes in which " 'bloody instincts reigned . ( Cheers . ) Secondly , the Charter demanded the' ballot
to protect the voters in the exercise of their electoral franchise , and to prevent them being driven to the poll like sheep to the slaughter . The next principle was annual parliaments ; and these were necessary , otherwise , > men would go into the House with one set of principles and come out with another . ( Hear , hear . ) " Short reckonings were well calculated to keep people virtuous . Neither would these of themselves be sufficient , as to insure true representation of all classes it . was necessary that the horny handed mechanic should be admitted to the House , as it was the producer
only that could understand labour s wants arid labour ' s mteresti , ^( Cheers ) r-henice , the property qualification Jnust be abolished , and members be paid for their : servicesi ; ( Hear , hear . ) Again , they mustTiave the -electoral districts equalised : for how absurd was it to find the pettyionstituencypf Harwich exer >; casing as much parliamentary influence as ihl | g ^ eat borough of the Tower Hamlets , withes * monster population ; or a small division of Northamptonshire , with the . great West Riding of Yorkshire . ( Cheers . ) As regarded the property qualification , Mr . Richard
Cobden now had property , and was supposed to possess the intellect tout him for a representative ; but take away his property ^ and let his mental qualification remain , and then he would be told , notwithstanding , that be was no longer fitted-for a representative . ( Hear , hear . ) Did not this clearly show the gross humbug and absurdity of property qualifications ? ( Cheers . ) The aristocracy of a neighbouring county / had shown that they admired Universal Suffrage so long as it worked for their interest ; but when the men of France sent their , real representatives to the
Assembly , of ^ urse Universal Suffrage mn ^ t be put down ; bufe ^ Hheyo had tasted the-sweeits " of electoral power , and would rather yield up their lives than the rights of citizenship . ( Great cheers . ) The men who had convened this magnificent gathering to day were the Chartists of the metropolis , who were not the ambitious turbulent demagogues they had been represented to be , but men of peace , who desired rights , liberties , and privileges for all . Chartism should yet penetrate into every
village , hamlet , and town of this country , and England become great , glorious , and free , through the mind of Chartism . The Charter is simply the means to an end , and will , when properly applied , work such a moral and social revolution , as would permit the bees to consume the honey they produce ; or , in other words , make the people to produce , consume , and enjoy . ( Great cheering . ) This was the Chartists first visit to Gravesend , but it should not he the last . He had now to entreat them
to form a locality , elect their local officers , and elect members in the National Charter Association . It was necessary that the people should be organized and prepared for coming events . He trusted they would press onwards in the good cause , neither staying or going back , until their efforts were crowned with success . ( Great cheering . ) Mr . JraiAN Harney came forward to second the resolution , and was greeted with prolonged cheering , and said , amongst Political arid Soeial Reformers the name of Ernest Jonea
was pre-eminent , ( Loud cheers . ) A memorial had been adopted at a public meeting , praying for the liberation of their suffering friend , and others who were incarcerated for their ad-, vocacy of popular rights . That memorial had been transmitted to Sir G . Grey . He ( Mr . Harney ) wished them to understand that if Sir . G . Grey was not personally ¦ present amongst the Chartists at Gravesend he was represented by letter . ( Laughter . ) Mr . Harney here read a letter signed " Waddings ton , " which simply said he was desired by Sir G . Grey to acknowledge ; the receipt of the
memorial . This to them seemed alaughable document , hut it was not so to Ernest Jones , who had nearly sacrificed his lifein their cause . ( Hear , hear . ) When . the people petitioned or memorialised , such empty vague letterswere all thesatisfaction they received , which he' ( Mr . Hai > ney ) took to mean— " You may save yourselves the trouble of putting pen to paper , as we . ( your rulers ;) look upon petitioning as a farce . " And so it was a farce , unless backed up by the omnipotent strength of the people . ( Hear , hear . ) Anew "dodge" had been recently played off to stay political movements , both here and on the continent . He alluded to the
withdrawal of the French Ambassador .. He could not pretend to say ., which government was most in the wrong—he knew that neither were ever in the right . ( Laughter and cheers . ) In his soul , he believed the French government was playing this move off to distract the French people ' s attention from the conspiracy to destroy Universal Suffrage . In France , at present between nine and ten millions of persons possessed the elective franchise ; but , should the new bill ever become law—that is to say , if a new revolution did not sweep bothlaw and lawmakers to the devil —( Cheers . )—it would disfranchise at least one-half the present electors . A very pretty way , truly , to " regulate" universal suffrage 1 Ah ! universal suffrage was very good so Ion ? as it elected aristocrats , money-mongers , and
man-monktes , like Louis Napoleon-Jloud ^ heers)—but immediately the people turned it to their own account-then , of course ,- it must be destroyed ; ( Hear , hear , ) He cordially seconded the ^ all made by Mr . Reynolds , and trusted they would become members of the Association . Let no man stand aloof , saying— "My standing out can make no difference ; " Because , if each brick did so , he would like to know what would become of the building ! ( Cheers . ) Lord Brougham had , in the House of Lords , maligned the noble refugees . He had denounced them as crapulous conspirators ; but he ( Mr . Harney ) flung back the insult . Sure he wasj that if the people of England were polled , the vast majority would vote that Brougham ' s pension should be anplied to the support of the brave and good men that old renegade had calumniated .

North ' s gardens ; at LowMbor , ihree mil ^ ixpmthe town / on Sunday Iftst .-i The pro ^ essibh was arranged for eleven ^ o ' clock , . teioiug before that time the town exhibited an ' . animated appearance . Flags and banners were displayed in various localities , especially oh the'Manchester-road . At eleven o clock , the bowjiflg i green , in the centre of Bradford , was crowded ; and the entrance of a brass hand-ahdv procession from Bingley , added to the excitement of the scene . Numerous banners were in readiness :
hut as some mawkish professors of religion objected to the procession , it was resolved to proceed with only one banner in front ; then , as the multitude blocked up the public thoroughfare , the two marshals , Mr . James Ramsden ( alias William Tell ) , and M . Isaac Jefferson ( oKas Wat Tyler ) , presented . their . portly figures , and ordered them to " fall in . " The late prisoners ' / 'took ; . their ; places four a-breast ; . and . tte ; - ' pebpie ^ forming '' in procession- behind , . ; j ; hem , -, mai ^ hed ; , forward to the / Manchester-road , ; where the word "'halt" issued from the stentorian lungs of , Wat Tyler . The band then struck upj' upon which the heads of the police made their appearance , and insolently demanded , that , , the music should cease . A banner was then
selected , bearing a motto suitable to the occasion : —namely , "Liberty , Equality , Fraternity . " The procession , moved forward ; and having passed through . ' , the ' - , ' toil-bar , the band again played , and . continued without further interruption . < On the way to the place of meeting - . thousands flocked on the hill" sides from ; Hortori , Wibsey , and the adjacent neiglibburhood , and all tostified their sympathy towards thehate victims of Whig tyranny and aristocratic oppression . On arriving at the Peoples Gardens / the scene was truly magnificent . ; A long table ,, extending- some , hundred yards , was
placed between two rows of trees ; . and in various parts were flags bearing appropriate mottoes . . Such was the . throng aud enthusiasm , that a great number who wished to dine , could not be accommodated * . This dinner gave general satisfaction , and was presided over by Mr . David Lightowler , one of the late prisoners , who wore a fac-simile of his prison dress on the occasion . At the conclusion of the dinner , a heavy shower caused the company to seek shelter , arid thus prevented the toasts and sentiments from being put from the table ; they were consequently reserved until thetimeforthe .
PUBLIC MEETING .-. On the motion of Mr . George White , Mr , David Lightowler was unanimously Called to tho chair . Ho said he felt highly flattered by being called on to preside ever a meeting convened for the purpose of doing honour to himself and his late fellow prisoners ,- and thus stamping their conduct with public approbation , Hestooibefwe them to assert the

. This meeting had astonished and confounded ; tha enemies of Democracy in this locality , for they ; remarked , with dismay ,, the terrible earnestness with which the speakers enunciated , the boldest and most telling truths , and the vehement desire of lib ' erty which prompted the people to obey the summons of a few men without name or rank ; because those men laid down a manly policy , eschewed slavery and begging agitation s , and pointed out the ancient , honbiired , and speedy method : by which , oppression has . been dashed to the ground in all ages . and
countries . We . understand that ^ . many were deterred from attending the meeting by . the shameful intimidation practised by the neighbouring landlords , some of whom ( Mr . Stewart and Lord Bessborough ) placed their creatures upon the roads leading to Carficlc , with directions to take down the names of as many of their "human stock ' . ' as dare tp disobey them . There were several police-constables scattered through the crowd , pno or two of whom . took notes . The resident magistrate and sub-inspector of police were also present ; and . Head-Constable Orr hovered like an unquiet spirit oh the outskirts . ' There were deputations present from Kilkenny , Cork , Callan ; and [ delegates from Clonmel " and
