TO THE CHABTISTiS . My Bbab Frien _ds , — How often _, have I fold you that the _greatest folly of _^ _bich a political leader can be guilty , is the attemp _^ 1 to develope popular power when the popular mind is disunited , or apathetic ? I have tola you , over and over again , that if Chartism was struck down _to-dayj I would stand over its listless body , watch for the time
of i _ _resuscitation , again lift it from . the ground aid march onward , but never retreat whatever may he Che tyrants * threat or power . I do not Ichow" _thatjthepwrestnian amongstyou feels moreeve ' nforhisown condition , thanIdo ; _butmy feelings for metfwbo neglecfctheir duty are nothingcompsj _^ to my feeling for . women and little children ,: who have hot the power , without the as $ _fefshce ; of men , to improve their condition ; " . _'" .
I have been , for a very long time , in a state of stupor and suspense ; I was afraid that the last terrific blow ofthe tyrants' law had paralysed the English mind ; bnt the exhibition that I witnessed at Blackatqne Edge , on Sunday last , revived my spirits ; gladdened ' my heatt _^^ _d ,. if possible , increased my energy and determination once more to re-model the materials of the old Chartist edifice , which was shaken by . perjured _Bpies and informers . If Rrotectionist _^ "Whigs , or Free Traders had mastered as we did npon BlackstoneEdge , an
account of the meeting wonld be telegraphed to every _. daily paper , and the numbers wonld he pat down according to the _osoal procreative standard , at half a million ; hot , as the meeting was held for the purpose of destroying the oppressivepower of Protectionists , Whigs , and TVee Traders , no notice is taken of our gathering . Well , I rejoice in this fact , because it is a clear proof , thai they dread our growing power . ; : . The Whigs are _aow tottering-, the
Traders are quaking ;; aid _We 0 _oi & _$ ebi _£ gans of all parties studiously suppress and withhold the resolution of the growing popular mind of tbe country . W . P . Robebts , Dr . _M'Douaix , _Haksby , ItgACH , Wbixe , and Fsabgvs O'CofflfQR were the principal speakers at the meeting ; and the veteran Benjamin Rushxon was in
the chair ; and , to gratify MY LONDON FRIENDS , let me inform them , thafc my reception at that meeting was the best answer that could he given to their paltry chicanery . I was never better received at any meeting in my life . It was in the county of the great Northern hives—no drones were there—they were all busy bees , and many of them , wider the melting sun , walked over thirty miles . I need not offer my Yorkshire and Lancashire friends any thanks for the glorious reception they gave me , because I think I deserreit .
At night , after travelling nearly forty miles , and attending the outdoor meeting , I , in company with yonr Mend Mr . Roberts , attended a meeting ai the People ' s Institute , in Manchester . There , also , we had a hamper ; and my reception convinces ' me that nothing can disturb the affection of my old friends , in whose cause I have _nowlaboured nearly seventeen years in England , and nearly twenty-nine years in England and Ireland . I addressed
them at considerable length , notwithstanding my day ' s fatigue ; and Mr . Roberts made a most _eloquent speech , which was loudly cheered . At the conclusion ef the business , _Dickessos , the Manchester Packer—who has worked long , faithfully , and arduously in the cause—in a very able and eloquent speech , proposed a vote of thanks to , and confidence in , me ; which was seconded by the veteran Wheeeer , one of the sufferers at Peterloo , and was carried amid long and enthusiastic
cheers . Now Englishmen , when I remember the manner in which I was received— 'as I am an Irishman—at Sheffield and other places , when I first visited your country , and the manner in which I am now received , it confirms that confidence with which yonr conduct has ever inspired me , and it strengthens that resolution to which I have ever adhered , that I NEVER WILL DESERT YOU . Look to
the present state of Ireland , and see the con-1 dition to which trickery , jugglery , rascality , treachery , and fraud , has brought the Irish people ! At his last gathering , John Ctoj-UEii was obliged to announce , tbat the show "box should he closed in _consequence , as he described it , ofthe people's apathy , bnt which I characterise as a proof of the people ' s intelligence . It appears , however , that he is to be elevated to the high and dignified position of tax collector ; and do not yon think , that he and his miserable clique would rather derrre eight
hundred a year from an increase of taxation than receive seven hundred and ninety-nine pounds by _aredactiouoftaxtion ? Self-interest , as I have often told yon , is the basis of human action , when politics can be converted into a trafficking commodity . He and his family have traded and trafficked npon Irish credulity and confidence—nay , I would say folly—for now thirty-five years , while I rejoice to think that the wisest , most subtle , and artful knave , conAd not trame upon English , credulity . My dear friends , after a storm conies a calm , and after a calm comes a storm , and yon may rely npon it , that the death of Sir _Robekt Peel will cause snch disunion in the
Honse of Commons as will cause the voice of the people to have more effect , both within and without . Peel was an independent statesman—he did not look for patronage for his family , as the Greys and Russeias do . Daring his life , the violence and ingratitude of the Protectionists nettled and stung him , and he and his party supported the Whigs merely to prevent the Protectionists from achieving power . His followers , however , were not so honourable or as virtuous as he was ; bis name and power kept them together while living ; but now that he is no more , they will join either Whigs or Protectionists , selecting the party from which they are most
likely to derive patronage . ' Now it ia for this coming struggle that . 1 wish to prepare yon , in order that yon should not again he taken by surprise . You remember , that at the commencement ofthe session , I warned yon that tho Protectionist _Lordg wonld throw oyer all politics , in order to enable them to measure their estates hy political patronage rather than by state necessity and national requirement . Well , behold the truth of my prediction : they have raised the Irish Franchise Bill , passed by tbe Commons , from a £ & to a £ 15 Franchise , and they have passed the most atrocious Landlord and Tenant Bill
for Ireland , giving the landlords the power to exercise the most tyrannical despotism over their poor tenants ; a system which ever has , aiulever will prevail in that country , until the _£ ? SF _^ CHARTER BECOMES THE LAW W THE LAND . My dear friends , however tedious I may " _^^ _jS _^ So on repeating , over and for _itisonlyby its _destruc _^ _ _, at y 0 ar order can be elevated to t _ sP ,. „„„ / : ViW * now mark this , _^ _STnZT _^ ' " * national debt is _Inh _^ _*** _* * P _" chain that holds yon _fcfij" _&* _dragyoutopreservepeace with atf _fL v ! matter how yon maybe _iusidted ir - ° nations ; but mark what I am - Y * _™*& gn

your BLACK SLUGS in England coBt you TEN MILLIONS THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND A YEAR . Dissenters , Catholics , and men of all creeds being obliged to pay them , and worship God , according to Act of Parliament ; bnt , as you most understand the system , before your minds can be roused to destroy it , let me show yon , if possible , a greater abomination . With idle land , idle labour , and idle money in this country , you pay eight millions a year to support unwilling idlers—just as much as . the whole _go-~
vernmental expenses of the United _Statesof America ; and however I may surfeit you with repetition , let me still farther remind yon that you pay twenty-six thousand a year to some of your Bishops , in whose version of the Scriptures you do not believe ; and that amount would give twenty-six pounds per year , or ten shillings a week each to one thousand families ; and estimating them at five to a family , it would support five thousand people , who are now pauper slaves , in . bastiles , while these infernal slugs and leeches are sacking their very blood .
As I said before , I do not pity you a bit . I pity the women and the little children ; and when I next make my : tour , _fli-will-hava no one at the meetings hut women and children . _IwU make > them "DRILL . SERJEANTS , Sf _^ _K _^^ hem _/ _twha _^ they _should make you do . _fTJitere _areftwb reasons why I cannot now take iny tour through the country , or rather through the empire : — Firstly . —Because my presence in London is indispensable , while the winding up ofthe Land Company . _is going on ; and Secondly . —Because in-door meetings this weather are enough to kill any man . *
However , I-will be very shortly once more amongst you , and then I > will test your mettle . _L never have deserted you , or forsaken your cause . f ¦ I never will desert you , or forsake yonr cause ; and in conclusion let me assure you that my reception i _ the north has mspired me , if possible , with greater love and affection for your order , and however I may be reviled by . trafiicldng politicians" and poor gentlemen , I will stand hy the old

; MR . _O'CONNOR IN MANOHESTEB . Mr . T . Dickinson lectured in the People ' s Institute , on Sunday , July 14 , on the death of Sir Robert Peel _i taking as a text , " Death is no respector of Persons , " in a very argumentative manner , to a large and attentivo audience . The hall vas filled almost to suffocation . It was announced to the meeting that Mr . O'Gonnor had returned from _Blackatone Edge camp meeting , and a deputation was immediately despatched to prevail upon him to goto the People ' s Institute . Mr . O'Connor arrived with Mr . Roberts , about nine o ' clock in the evening , and "was received with _raptur rous applause . When the cheering had subsided , the chairman introduced to the meeting Mr . O ' Connor , who was received _witiv _tiemeudoua cheers .
ilr . _O'CONiTORsaidhewasverygladto be received in the manner he had been that evening , and at the camp meeting at _Blackstone Edge ; such receptions did him more good than all the medicine in the world . He then informed the meeting , that on Thursday last he moved for the adoption of the Charter , wben the son of " plain John Campbell'' moved that the house be counted , which was done , and only . twentynine members being present , the . house was adjourned . YTUat was the treatment tho people received from the House of ; . Commons when any oi tne
measure was proposed for the amelioration people , and would be so , until they had more unanimity of opinions , and sunk their minor _oittorences , for the accomplishment ofthe object they had in view—viz ., the People ' s Charter . Ihe divisions of the people were tbe principal pause oi their enslavement . -As soon as he ( Mr . 0 Connor ; had "wound up the affairs ofthe National Land Company he should take a tour throughout Eng land , Eland , and Wales , and would show ' the Whgs _IST hieete as they little thought of a-tt *» his intention of starting a new Land Company .

leader , ahd are determined , to second " his efforts with ail-jpw might , to _! gain for the _^ people that 'fulFmea 8 ure of justice they have so long sought for . " He ( Mr . Dickinson ) felt much _pleasuredn proposing that vote of confidence in Mr . O'Connor . He know the feelings of the men of the north . ; He hadtmelled much in that direction , and . had very . frequently lectured to them ; therefore , he was prepared to state the feelings they entertained towards Mr . O'Connor . It . was that of gratitude . .. Their affection for Mr . O'Connor was _iengraveh oh their hearts . _, The men of the North * were not ungrateful , for they knew the many sacrifices Mr . O'Connor had made on their behalf—that he had given up profession ; family dis-. tinction , wealth , and affluence , forthe good oftheir
country , and the interests ' , of the working classes . Surely these were considerations that the men _^ of the north would never overlook . What the men of the south might do he could hot tell , as he had not been amongst them ; but thir he knew , that tbe men of the north would transmit , from father to son , the noble qualities of mind and . the many , sacrifices Mr . O'Connor . has made to elevate the character and condition of the toiling millions , and , instead of erecting marble monuments to his memory _^ he would live iri the hearts _oHhe people . , ' ' . ' _., : Throughout Mr . - Dickinson ' s address , the audience signified its assent by _frequent cheering and approbation . ' , ; ~ ¦ ¦¦ ' ¦ ¦ : ¦' Mr . Wiibblbr , an old veteran in the cause , seconded the vote of confidence .
Mr . Robeuts made a few _observation , ; corroborating the statements of Mr ., Dickinson , when the resolution was put . from the chair , and carried by acclamation . Mr . O'CoMfOR acknowledged the compliment , and proposed three cheers for the Charter , which were heartily given , and three groans for tke Whigs . "" Three cheers were then given for Mr . O'Connor , and thus ended a soul-stirring day for the Chartists of Manchester .

WINDING UP OF THE LAND COMPANY . TO THE _ALLOCATED MEMBERS . Mr Fbiekds , I call you my friends , hut I would not call the majority of the located ruffians my friends . You will see from the report of the ejectment case of Beattie , and the other ruffians located on the Minster Lovel Estate , that I have succeeded at the Oxford Assizes ; and now the estate will be sold , and thank Gob for it It will be sold in about one month from
i this time , in separate allotments , and will offer [ a fine opportunity to all who wish to become purchasers of good and fertile land , in a wholesome climate , and good houses ; and , therefore , any one who wishes to become a purchaser , if they will state their desire to me , I will act as purchaser for them . The shareholders now understand that I am proceeding with the winding up of the Company , but they must also understand that I cannot , and WILL NOT PROCEED , if 1 ! am not supplied with the necessary means , FORTHWITH ; and 1 think it is rather disparaging to seventy thousand men—some of whom bave been loud complainers—to expect one man to do their work .
When I _wasatBlackstone Edge , on Sunday last , a man handed me ten shillings , from six members , as their contribution towards the expenses ; and if all others did likewise , the affair would very speedily be completed . Now , let me once more remind you that it is YOUR BUSINESS , and NOT MINE ; and , therefore , BLAME YOURSELVES , and NOT ME , if it is not completed . Your Faithful Friend , Feargus O'Connor .

GREAT CHARTIST DEMONSTRA TION AT BLACKSTONE EDGE .
Sunday last was the day appointed for a meeting of the Democrats of Yorkshire and Lancashire , according to annual custom . The day was particularly fine , and caused ¦ thousands of the northern Democrats to take tbe road to the place of meeting . The various roads which led to the centre of attraction were crowded with all manner of vehiclesomnibusses , phaetons , gigs , cabs , spring carts , and waggons , decorated with flags and banners , and produced an enlivemng scene . One conveyance was occupied by some of the Bradford victims of 1848 . Taking ifc . asawhole ,
a better display of true democratic feeling has never been witnessed in the country . On arriving at the place of meeting , it was difficult to gain an entrance into the celebrated White Honse , where the delegates were _assembledj tnTOugh the dense crowd that thronged the passages . The following delegates were in attendance : — Stockport , James "Williams ; Todmorden , James Mooney ; Manchester , John Sutton and Thomas Siddeley ; Holmfirtb , Thomas Hard wick ;
Huddersfield , Joseph Smith and John Bradley ; Rochdale , William Bake ; _Barnsley , John Greenwood ; Hebden Bridge , Joseph Mann ; Oldham , James Cooper ; Halifax , Christopher ShacUeton ; Burnley , Johu Corless ; Bradford , "William An _ us . Mr . John Sutton , of Manchester , was unanimously elected as chairman ; Mr . James "Williams , of Stockport , secretary ; and Mr . William Bake , treasurer . The Cbaibjus read a letter from Mr . Reynolds , apologising for his unavoidable absence , and the delegates proceeded to arrange for the business of the day . and dis
The resolutions were calmly deliberately - cussed , and the delegates had reason to feel much pleasure at tlie ability of Mr . Williams , of Stockport , for the business capabilities which he displayed . The arrival of the speakers , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., W . P . Roberts , G . J . Harney , Dr . M'Douall , James leach , and George-White , was hailed with enthusiasm . At two o ' clock the chair was taken by the veteran patriot , Benjamin _Rushton , of Ovenden , near Hallf ax . He expressed his pleasure at the numerous assembly before him , aud trusted that all the friends who would have to address them would receive a calm and attentive hearing . Hecalfedon . .. . Mr . J . WmuMs , of Stockport , to move the first resolution . Mr . Williams entered at length into the nreBent constitution of society . He contrasted the * _ .. _ ,. _« f ?* lt . __« f . L jm _* mm * _nn / 1 _4 It Aft A who lived by labour and those
. , condition of those who lead luxurious lives by other mens toil , and havine clearly defined the discrepancies of the existing state of things , he concluded , ° y _mo ™ g the following resolution- " Tbat in tbe opinion of this meeting nothing short of a c ° _mP _* "" 3 _^ - ment of _therelative position of labour and capital , with the view to a more equal distribution of the produce of the country , will permanently benefit the working classes ; and we are further satisfied that such an adjustment will not be accomplished _"ntil the entire people are fully and fairly _represented in the Commons House of Parliament , in _accordance with the principles contained in . the iW _^ S known a 9 the People's Charter .

_tmtmmmmtmmmm _^ _mmmmmmmammammmmmimmm _^^ that if . ought to . be available fto all ; fand / _tberefere , that if a just state of society existed , no money-monger or aristocrat could convert men into slaves . He gave a lucid explanation of man ' s social rights , and after dwelling on the present position of France , he concluded an eloquent speech amidst cheersl ' :-. ¦ ¦; . ' ; ' , Ah \ James Leach , of Manchester , supported the resolution . He said , that on the last occasion' en which he attended at that place he made a speech , for which he had to suffer nine months imprisonment , and he would repeat the same speech then . ' The substance" of " it was , that justice would * _ssevef be
done to tbe people , until they did it for . themselves . The resolution referred to the land but as long as the land was locked up and monopolised , the' condition of-the people could not be permihently ' improved . He commented . on the productive power of machinery ,, and exposed the humiliating _condign to which the working classes were reduced , He recited some anecdotes concerning the Cord Law Bepealers of Jlanchesfcer i- and exposed the inconsistencies of the landed aristocrats and capitalists , who , induced the working classes to emigrate , whilst tbey absorbed the means by which they might live in their own land . , _-. He exposed the hypocrisy and _heartleBsness of . the _^ Manchester Town Council , land showed- the base treatment to
whieh the paupers of Manchester : were subjected amongst other ] things _^ compelling : them to' vfeaf . masks when they attended chapel . He _strongly recommended , the CO-opevatWe . principle ; a « f tlie means of . emancipating _^ the people . He _concluded by _supportihg _^ the " resolution , which-was ! carried unanimously . ' _,. : ' ,- y _. \ Z ¦ _¦¦ _'; _„ ¦ ¦ Z > j { iiiip _& 1 Mr . G . White , ' of Bradford , moved- the second resolution . . _.. He . said that he felt great pleasure in once more meeting his brother democrats : He had receiv ' edone year ' s imprisonment for the . _sneeflh ho
made fon that spot two years ago , and ,.-like Mb friend Leacb , he was ready to go to gaol again rather than deny his principles . He exhorted the working men to union and co-operation , and concluded by proposing the following resolution : — 'f Thatwe , the democrats of the north , deeply sympathise with the suffering patriots of France , Hungary , Rome , and the Continent generally ; and execrate the cold-blooded cruelty of the so-called friends of order , and trust that the past and present failures will guard them ia their future operations ; and ultimately guide them to a final and glorious triumph . "
Dr . _M'Dotuu . seconded ibe resolution , and was received with loud cheers , He said he had been imprisoned for two years in a small cell , yet he treated the authors of it with the most sovereign contempt . He described the tyranny wbich was practised in Scotland in former _dajB . He warned them of the couteBt that would shortly ensue between the middle class and the aristocracy , and the question for the people io decide was ; which party Bhould go ? The landlord ,. the drone , should go , as cheap bread and dear land , could not coexist . They might attempt to restore protection , but they would fail . He strongly urged on the meeting the necessity . of co-operation , and concluded by seconding the resolution ,
_, . G . Juuan _Harjjey supported the resolution . He ; was received with loud and enthusiastic cheering , and commenced by apologising for the non-attendance of Mr , Reynolds . As his friend Ernest Jones had to De at Halifax next day , he had no doubt tbat a large assembly would attend to honour that friend of the people . He agreed with Mr . . White in stating that the present meeting was not intended for mere speech-making , but to show the strength of democracy , ¦ . therefore he should not inflict a long speech upon that numerous assembly .. Ho ridiculed the court order for a general mourning ; while so many industrious iamilies were nearly naked . , He reverted to the manner in which Mr . O'Connor had been treated on introducing his motion for the establishment of the People ' s Charter . He contrasted the PW Plot
I of 1842 with the Protectionist Plot of 1850 After dwelling on other essential points , . he concluded by supporting the resolution . I Mb . Wm . Beia , of Heywood , moved the _nexfc re .-I solution , as follows : — " That this meeting _reepgr _ni ' sing the principle that union is strength , deem it advisable to use all and every . means consistent with the principles of democracy td _- gather together the scattered elements of Chartism , for the purpose of bringing our united energies to bear upon all unjust institutions , and enable us to command a patient hearing of our sufferings , with the view to their alleviation ; being assured tbat the united complaints of an entire people will command attention , and ultimately place them in a proper position . " lie expressed a desire for a more perfect union of the democratic party , and concluded a clever speech in his usual style by moving the resolution .
FEAaous O'Cosnok , Esq ., rose to seeond ' tbe resolution , and was received with long continued and hearty cheers . He explained the position of the lactory question , and the course which he had adopted concerning it . He entered , at great length , into the Land question , and declared that if all others deserted the Chartist cause , he never would . Ho exposed the hoUownesa _sfi ibe Financial Reformers , and showed how they were pandering for public favour . He explained the composition of the House ot Commons , and the hopelessness of gaining any benefit therefrom , ne declared his determination
to stand by 4 fae whole animal , aud eulogised Mr ; W . P . Roberts , who was appointed to support the resolution , and declared that , as short speeches were the order of the day , he would not depart from it . He sat down amidst loud cheers . W . P . Roberts , Esq ., was then called on , and was loudly . cheered . He expressed his satisfaction at tho large attendance , which proved their love of democracy . He agreed with Mr . White , thatthe present multitude had not assembled so much to hear speeches as to show their love of principle , and he had no doubt that the present display would invigorate all their friends . He would advise them to stand by " The Charter—the Whole Charter , and 3 So Surrender , " and not to be . led astray by the sophistry of any party .
The Chairman then put the resolution , which \? as _Hnanimouely agreed to ... Mr . O'Cohsor then rose , aud said he would give them a sermon—namely , "He that giveth to the poor , lesdetii to the Lord . " If you Tike your security down with your dust . The expenses have tobe paid . A collection was then made for the purpose . Mr . O'Connor then proposed " Three Cheers for the Charter , " which were , lustily given . Three cheers were then given for Feargus O'Connor , Ledta RoUin ,: Kossuth , Mazzini , d $ 0 ., and a vote of thanks was cordially given to the Chairman , who suitably returned thanks , after which the business was concluded . No les 3 than thirty thousand were present from all parts , of Yorkshire and Lancashire , aud all left highly gratified with the proceedings .
Grand Demonstration , In Honour ; Of. >I...
GRAND DEMONSTRATION , IN HONOUR ; OF . > _i . THE LIBERATION OP ERNEST JONES . , Monday , the' 15 th of July , was one of the most eventful days' in the history of Chartism that ever took ' place in Halifax . The eloquent and soul-stirring addresses , delivered during the election by Ernest Jones , together with his amiable and social disposition ,: ' had won for him tbe esteem and confidence of the entire democratic body of that town and neighbourhood , _= His subsequent labours and sufferings in the cause had increased ; that
esteem to a state of enthusiasm , never before manifested in favour of any person . The day of his liberation was therefore anxiousl y looked forward to _as a grand jubilee , in which he was to make his triumphant entry into the good old town of Halifax . Soon after eight o ' clock , ' groups of _rjersons were wending their way to Broad-street , the place where the procession had . to form . _, By ten o ' clock , the ,- streets began to be densely throhged ,: and . at half-past ten the cavalcade moved o % headed by a large red banner , bear ' ing on the one ; side the following inscription
;•" E . C . Jones , Esq ., the friend ofthe people ;" and on the other , "Equality , Liberty , Fraternity . ' - ¦ ' Next in order' came the Mixenden brass . band _, followed by a splendid carriage and f our grey horses , which were to convey Mr . Ernejst Jones into the town—the _Queenshead brass band following behind the carriage , and behind this came tho vast procession , and a long line of carriages , the Stainland band bringing up the '" rear . The procession then moved slowly on to Sowerby Bridge , halting in front ' of the Royal Hotel , where Mr . Jones was waiting , having-just arrived by the mail
train from London ., , AH being ready , Ernest Jones , with Julian Harney , Mrs . Harney , and C . Shackleton , ientered the carriage . The moment he made _^ his appearance , the air was literally rent with the long-continued cheers of the . enthu 8 ia 8 t ; c ' multitude . As Boon as he was seated in' _^ tho carriage , the rush of the people to shake hands with him was so great that the progress" of the procession was for some time impeded . The women vieing with the men ih their eagerness to show . their
respect for : their _esteemed guest . , The _profession moved back to Halifax in the order in which . ! it had come , and it was a _beautifuljand _aOul-stirring sight to see the Immense multitude winding in an apparently interminable ., ' iiiie , along the . romantic road leading froni 'Sowerby Bridge to Halifax , while the bands were playing patriotic airs , and the _coasfcaiitly increasing multitude woke the echoes of the surrounding hills with their almost _contihaoas . _facclaiuatipns .. " But . it was In tho town itkelf that the scene assumed the
most interesting ; aspect . Every door and window were' crowded with spectators—the very roofs and parapets were thronged , while the _bodyof the , procession had great difficulty in pushing their way ' _. through the dense masses that lined the streets on every side . Tears stood in many ah eye , and a blessing poured from many ' alip _"; I a ' s the careworn and suffering children ! of-toil _^ greeted ' their friend _) aud it was . with difficulty : _he could control his emotions . at a Lreception so enthusiastic and so heartfelt . The ; procession having passed in this manner through all the leading streets of
Halifax , a grand [ gala and public meeting were held in West . Hi }); Park . The gates were opened'at two o ' clock ; the bands commenced playing ,: ¦ and soon a dense mass of people crowded this beautifol spot . Such an assembly has rarely been known in Halifax , and many came from ! a very great distance to join in tho celebration of , this happy day . ' .. _¦¦;• Ernest Jones , and the members ofthe Committee , entered the grounds shortly before four o ' clock , . ' soon _; after which time Mr . Jonathan . Gdakrodger _w'as . unanimously called to the chair . I ¦ ff
Mr .: D . Lightowler , of Bradford , first called on , commenced'by singing a song which he had composed while in prison , which _wajs loudly foheered , ; and then spoke to the

When . the „ _applanse i ; had subsided , he addressed ' the meeting : inith ' e following , words : ~ My Dear-Friends ! v ' l : have left thebpunds of my gaol , but I hate / . not yet entered through the barriers of liberty _^ "I have come from one prison _tq ; another—front a narvo % eel ) , and sullen-grating ; to a _^ rison , whose _. w _^ lls _, are' waters , whoserkeys ar . e go ] hl , whose _prisouGrg'ave a people ,-whose _gaolersare pride ,

( Loud cheers . ) . Christ said , " Heave . wife and child and follow me !" Crucified people ! I did , so , arid I suiffered . But what then ? , Many a political Columbus ia / wrecked halfway , before he can pilot the nations to the laud of liberty : how . much the more must a humble voyager , like myself , exipect to meet the blasts of persecution ? .. " ... Tbey told me , in their gaol , that we suffered in vain . They told me , the people were contented , the . country was' buried in cairn
a aeep , and they hoped I would hot help to _diBtob it ; but , I stand here , to break that calm , to , banishthat _; content , if it is based upon error , and allied to political and social inequality : for , with the Palatine of Posnania , I prefer the storms of liberty to the calm of servitude , and would replace the quiet of decay with the effervescence of regeneration . ( Great cheering . ) They told me , that we had full possession of our' rights J that England was the arkf of liberty—perhaps it is so > for , at least , all the discrowned , unclean beasts come here : but if England has been the ark of freedom , America must / have been its Ararat . They told me Chartism was dying ; if it is , we will
nurse the sick child into a healthy giant—for truth never dies . They come like a frost upon the stream of life , and because the surface is cold and still , they think the current is hot' flowing oh below , as strong and full as ever . But I have already seen enough to learn a different tale . As the whirlwind _raiBes the sand of the desert to the light of heaven , so great thoughts are lifting the myriads of mankind to the perception of their rights ; . As the _thuridershower decks the wilderness with the green of summer , so blood and tears , throughout . Europe , are fertilising the soil of suffering for the growth of freedom . Yes , the dawn of truth draws a response from the rudest multitude as the sunlight draws
mnsic from the breast of Memnon , Did they think to make a convert , or refute a Bingle principle by their paltry prisons and their petty insolence ? For my part 1 have come to ; _assure you that my courage is not damped—my hope not clouded—my purpose not shaken . I will still march onward as a soldier in your ranks , my heart burning with indignation—my brain cold with reflection and experience . 1 feel thirty years of life within mo yet ; and I mean them to be thirty years of work ; and 1 _trustwe shall all work together in harmony—one cause , one will , one purpose , and one-heart ; I believe that the cause of the . peoplo can only be won by the people , and ; through the people . ' I believe that if
we had expended half the . labour in trying to make converts in Our own class that we have wasted in trying to convert the middle class , we . should have done wisely , " and proved stronger . { Hear , and cheers . I shall go canvassing the'maltreated serf atthe ploughtail , instead of the indolent autocrat behind the counter . _^( Continued cheering . ) I will seek not only the cheers of the _enlightened manufacturing districts , dear to me as are those sounds , ' but I will go wheve our-principles are . yet opposed ; I will go where the hiss and the groan may still be heard , where the ' squire and the parson , and the farmer still blind the miinds of the men on whom they prey—I-will send my voico ' _through the agricultural
_counties-r- ( immense applause )—happy Tf it shall ever be my lot to say with truth , that I helped to unite the two great divisions of labour , whom the tiro rival factions arc now tryingto form into hostile armies , under the banner of protection , and free trade . ( Hear , hear . ) Nor will I endeavour , to incite tbem ly the periods of a flowery rhetoric , were I possessed of that power—forthe excitement _offering fades with the ebbing pulse , the conviction of thought lives in its undying truth ; I will appeal to , tbeir bellies and their brains , not merely to their hearts . I will show them freedom , not merely with the cause of political liberty , ahd the shield of social right , but with the horn of plenty in her h '
nudcoming , not like an empty shadow , but advancing as a substantial and undying blessing . I will show them that democracy is tho creator of plenty and of peace , and that by democracy alone can peace and plenty be secured . Itrust , and I believe , the further progressofour cause will be marked by steady , stern , and calm resolve . In a struggle between two men , be that struggle one of the hand ' , the pen , or the tongue . ; lie who first loses his temper loses the battle . For my own part , there was no occasion to bind me over to keep the peace , or be of good conduct for five years . I believe it very likely that the peace will be broken , but it shall be the government who break it ; and the peoplo who punish the
transgressors , ( Loud . cheers . ) . I am to be of good conduct too . I am determined to be of good conduct—not merely for five years , but for my whole life ; for I am determined never tamely to stand by and see the poor crushed , the weak trampled on , and the wicked triumph . I am determined to swell the knell of oppression . I am determined to fight the battle of freedom . I am determined that men shall bless mo when I am dead , even ; if tbey persecute me while I am alive . ( Enthusiastic cheering . ) And now , my dear and kind-hearted friends , ' how can I express my gratitude for your noble , your generous conduct to me during roy imprisonment ? Men of Halifax ! Rich * and titled relatives
abandoned their duty —never offered assistance , sympathy , or frendship to my familybut you , the honest , the hardworking , and the poor —you , ground by _oppression-ryou _. r starved and overworked—wives , husbands , mothers—you felt for me and mine—you looked at your pale children , and thought of mine—you gazed upon your own poor dwellings , and thought of my desolate home-God ' s blessing bo upon you!—and to-day you have received me , not merely in your town , but into your hearts , aud from that citadel no power ou earth shall tear me . Mr . Ernest Jones concluded his speech amidst _enthusiflstio cheering , and waving of hats and handkerchiefs , and the meeting was adjourned till eight o ' clock , wheni , the mills having closed , the Park presented one dense mass of
human beings ! " : ; ' , " . •" ' . Mr . _Goakrouobr was again called to the chair , when Mr . Lightowler was called upon to repeat the pathetic song he had sung before , and which was was bailed with-renewed applause . ' ' An affecting incident took place during the meeting . A wosian , in deep mourning , advanced to the platform , and stated that her husband had died a short time ago , and that he had _diyeoted her to take herchildren to the meeting , an fi bring them up inthe principles of Chartism , and , as he could not lire to see Mr , Jones himself , she must go the first time he came to Halifax , and give him a greeting from his departed friend . C , Shacklbton was called on to move the following address : —

.. The Peowjs _ovHaufax . Mr . _EstfEST Jones returned thanks ,, and spoko at great length , expressing his views as to the position of _ the people , and the Btate and prospects , of the patriotic cause . But want of space precludes us giving his speech , which excited the greatest , enthusiasm . Julian _Harnev , who was loudly applauded , proceeded , in . a masterly manner , to show the folly of persecution _^ to which the oppressors of the people resort , in the hope of repressing thedevclopement of democracy . He showed how alike in France . Germany , Italy , Hungary , Poland , and England , the same game was being played , with _, slight variations , and he proved from the past , and illustrated from the _demonstrationtbey had that day given to one of tbe per 3 ecuted _' patriots , how vain was the malice , and how futile was- the hate of the
oppressors of mankind . He congratulated tho n . en of Halifax on the lesson they had read the government , in the reception they had given to Ernest Jones—and the magnificent demonstration he had , that day witnessed . So unrivalled a _demonstrnr - tion roust show to the country at large , how . th ' o . _' , people appreciate the cause of truth , and how Vittlej _^ they dread the power , or the persecution of a do *'* minaut faction . He congratulated them on having _^ marched that day under the banner of European ' > progression , the red flag ofthe future , and resumedbis seat amid long and reiterated cheers . The speakers then quitted the platform . The bandsof music struck up merry airs , and husbands and their wives , young men and their sweethearts , commenced- dancing oh the green : This eshili' rating amusement continued a considerable time , and terminated tho proceedings of this memorable day .
TUESDAY . A second public meeting was held in West-hil * ark , for the purpose of presenting Mr . Ernest Jones with a tribute of respect . Mr . _Suackletos was unanimously called to the Julian Harney addressed the meeting , enforcing the necessity of a reorganisation of the Chartist party , m order that the great work commenced on tno previous day might be prosecuted to a triumphant issue . Mr . _doAKRooGBR then , in a speech full of the deepest feeling , presented Mr . Ernest Jones with a purse containing fifty sovereigns . Mr . Ernest _Joxfcs having expressed his deep sense of gratitude for this additional mark of kindness , addressed the meeting at considerable length _; but want of space precludes our giving further insertion to the addresses of the speakers on this occasion .
The Assembly then . separated , with enthusiastic clieers for " Ernest Jones , " "Julian Harnev , " " the Charter and something more 1 " & c , _ c . * _ihus closed one of the noblest demonstrations ever recorded in the annals of Chartism .
