He continues , with unabated asaduitv to « adicate every species , of infection . InTecent cases , a perfect cure is completed within a week or no charge made for medicines after the expiration of that period ; and in those of the utmost inveteracy ' where « fber practitioners have failed , a proper perseverance in his plan of treatment insures to tbe patient a safe Tr eH grounded , and lasting re-estabhsbment . . ' Be hopes . that the successful , easy , and expeditious mode he has adopted , of eradicating every BViiiplum of a Certain Disease , without any material alteration in diet , or hindrance of business and yet preserving the constitution in Ml -rigour and free from injury , will establish Ms claims for ' support . . As tins Disease is one which , is likely to be contracted whenever exposure takes place , it is not like -sany other -visitors , once in life , but on the contrary , one infection may scarcely havebeen removed when vtother may unfortunately be imbibed , therefore the Practitioner requires real jud gment in order to treat « ach particular Casein such a manner as not merely to remove the present attack , but to preserve the -constitution unimpaired , in case of a repetition at no distant period . The man of experience can » 7 ail himself of the greatest improvements in modem practice , by being able to distinguish between discharges of a specific and of a Biinple or mild nature , which can only be made by one in daily practice * £ fcer dne consideration of all circtanstaneee . In the same manner at birth , appearances often , take ylaee in chfldren , -which call for a proper knowledge and acquaintance with the disease , in order to iscnminate their realniture , and which may be the means of sowing domestic discord , unless managed tj the Surgeon with propriety and sMU . -Patients labouring under this Disease , cannot be too cautiouB Into whose hand they commit themselves . The propriety of this remark is abundantl y manifested . ^ j- 4-he same party frequently passing " the ordeal of several Practitioners , before he is fortunate exungh to obtain a perfect eure . The following are some of the many symptoms that distinguish this Disease : —a general debility , eruptions on the head , face , and body ; ulcerated sore throats , scrofula wrings in the neck , nodes on the shin bones , cancers , fistula , pains in the head and limbs which are ^ equentJj mistaken for Theumatian , &c . &c . Patients in fhe country , by stating their cases and enclosing a remittance , may have proper remedies -seat to the amount , with directions so simple and plain , that parties of either sex may cure themselves ¦ without even the knowledge of a bedfellow .

^ . ^ ggeu ; mem pe united as one man , for their tyrants had now got the winch in their hands , screwing the . nation down under taxation to the utmost .

Mr , Thomas AnKiN , brushmaker , in moving the resolution , said—Working Men , I stand before you to advocate the principle of Universal Suffrage and is there a man junid this vast assemblage of persons who will tell me that Universal Suffrage would be lpjunous ? Will any man tell me that I am not as capable of exercising a vote at this time as if I occupied ahouse of £ 10 a-year ? If any man were to tell ine so , I should be forced to tell him he was- a tool . ( Cheers and laughter . ) If he were to tell me tliat I ought not to have a vote , r would tell him that he was a tyrant . ( A pplause , ) I do not ask you for your applause , but if it be sincere , prove its sincerity to me this night , by coming forward to sign the national demand . I will not intrude longer on voor
time , as there are other persons much more capable of addressing you than ^ myself ; therefore ^ with your permission I will propose the first resolution— " That this meeting are of opinion , that reguired as they universally are ^ to support and obey the laws of this country , nature and reason entitle them to demand that in the making of the laws , the universal voice should be implicitly listened to , and that as they perform the duties of freemi 3 n , they must have the pri \ ilege 8 of freemen ; they are , therefore , convinced that the Suffrage must be Universal . " ( Long continued shouts of approbation . ) Mr . William G . Blatch , boot and shoemaker—As a member of the Colchester Working Men ' s
Association , I feel it to be an imperativii duty to come forward to second the resolution justproposed J because in it are contained those principles of philanthropjr which the Saviour of the world strove to inculcate in both rich and poor —( cheers)—and , as an Englishman , I feel bound to stand up in their advocacy , because they are in accordance with truth . It ' was evidently the design of the Divine Being that every man should enjoy the same privileges as his neighbour ; for when a great lawyer of the Jewish nation asked his Divine Master what was the first and great commandment , the answer was " Love the Lord thy . God with all thy heart , and thy neighbour as tbyseff--on those two commandment ^
hang all the law and the prophets . " ( Applause . ) Is there any one here who can refrain from being struck with this auswer . of our Lord to the Jewish lawyer ? and are the rich of this country arrived at that state of perfection which makes them more valuable than any other portion of the people ? Has it not been the case from the creation of the world down to the present day , that the Aristocracy have been the most depraved and demoralised set of men that ever breathed the breath of life ? ( Cheers . ) Look at the histories of different nations ; aia they not complete catalogues of murders ? Hasthere not been more blood spilled by the Aristocracy than by any other set of men on the face of the earth ?
( "Yes , " and cheering . ) If we look at the history of the Jewish nation , we shall find that it was an Aristocratic - Government that brought them into confusion . Nearly 3 , 000 years of the world ' s history had passed away before the introduction of a Kingly Government amongst them . Till then the Jews enjoyed a ptate of tranquillity * Look at the office of the Patriarchs , whicn we hnd entirely abrogated when Jewish Royalty was invented . Government by kings' was first adopted by heathen nations , from whom the Jewis copied it : and a certain writer has observed that it was the best system the devil ever set on foot for the promotion of his cause . ( Hear , Had cheers . )
Mr . Donald Me Pherson , auctioneer of Ipswich , said : —I am proud to observe , that the sun ot liberty has arisen oil this dark Blue town . Wherever her light sheds its rays , the darkness of tyranny must fly before ; it . The press , too , the intelligent press , has taken the people by the hand , and has drawn aside the dark blue curtain that blinded their political Vision ; What is the people ' s House as it is termed ? Does it represent the people ? No ; and there has been only just a sufficiency of honest men in it to keep it from entire corruptitm . Almost every stream from that corrupt fountaiD is impure ; and if ever a good measure ; has gone from the House of Commons for the people—if ever they intended to give the poor a blessiii ^ the pestiferous breath of the locusts in the House of Lords has blasted it , and instead of returning to the people as a blesssini ? it
has been a curse . ( HearJ Mark , Mr . Chairman , if our Government ^ as no doubt they will , be pressed hard for the peopleVnghts-rl will turn prpphet for once—our oppressors will go into the closet , and pick a quarrel with some foreign power , and will raise the cry of " War ^ " to divert the people ' s attention from , demanding their rights . ( Hear , hear . ) No , my friends , we want no war ; ho war , for iis , I gay . ( CheersO We are for peace . We ask for justice only . We are ^ paying for war , now—for a cruel and abominable war , that has run -us into a debt of £ 800 , 000 , 000 , and into poverty and wretcb > edness . ( Hear ' , near . ) Truth is the only weapon we want ; . justice is our claim ; we stand on the Word of God for allweask ; and we defy the Aristocracy ^ and all who stand round them , to withhold our rights , ; Mr . Me Pherson concluded amidst the wannest applause . '
After an address from Mr . Samuel Everett , of Br antree , the Ckaiema ^ putthe motion to the meeting , arid it was carried almost unanimbuBly , about a dozen only of the Tories . pre « erit opposing it . The reunlt was hailed with enthusiastic cheering . Mr . Samuel AusTiN , tailor ^—I am a member of < he Colchester Working Men's Association , and attend here , though bur' opponents designated by the titles tifi" the mob , " the " swinish multitude , ^ the " unwashed rabble , ^ " -the destructivesj" the i" houseless Radicals . " < . Now let us turn the tables on . their shoulders .- If we are an unwashed rabble —if we are hou « ele 8 s RadicalsVthey have madeua so , ( Applause . ) That we are a fiwinish multitude is
decidedly wrong , for they have got all they can put tlieir ^ hands upon , that , is acting most like swine . ( Applause . ) We have nothing —| Here much uproar enjsued by a' party of the blue faction , who had hitherto kept at tile extremity of the meeting , making their ; way ' to , andtaking ^^ their stand at ^ the left oithe nugtings , where they endeavoured to silence the speakers , put their attempts were set at nought , and Mr . Austin proceeded . ] The resolution I beg to propose is , " That the meeting are of opinion that in order to secure the free tmd uriccntrolled exercise of the £ ranobise , thepeople must have the protection of the ; Ballot t ; and that to make the connection be-1 tween Uie represehtative , and the people beneficial and intimate , a new Parliament shall be elected anhuallyi" The first of these measures our opponents sayi& un-EDgUsh .

Mr . John , Gosun , shdemaker , of Ipswich , whose able speechat the late' demonstration at Ipswich , so much attracted the public attention , theacame fdrward and said , I am highly delighted with the general principles of this petition ^ it conies before us in a form beyond any ptherpetition that was ever presented to the House of Parliament . It shows that there is a unity of action in the whole people We do not come now to specify any particular Hung we want , such a » the Repeal of the Corn Laws , the Separation of Church and State , or any other particular which we consider a grievance . We come to demand oot rights as citizens of a / free nation . ( Rapturous cheering . ) We come to present to the Parfiametit a demand that we shall have a hand in
the making of the laws by which weBre governed , and in doing this we state to the Parliament thb causeof the evils from which the country haV suffered so much . In doing this we do not petition Parliament to appoint a day for a fast in order to make restitut ion to an offended Deity for the sina we have committed . We absolve Providence from causing the train Of evils , with which tyrants have afflicted the country , and of which they have impiously accused heaven . We tell them that it is notin Providence or in nature , and that it is not beyoud the reach of men to apply a remedy , for there is everything in Providence and nature so that every man , woman , urid child , can he supplied with ana receivrthe blessings of lite where they are permitted to be
distributed amongst them . ( Cheers . ) But we trace the cause and find . it to originate in the niisgovernment of the country , in a long train of mLirule- ^ -in centuries of misrule . For ages this country has suffered ; for ages there has been a depression of the human mind and a stoppage of the thoughts of men . But until half a Century ago , the rich of this country had a fellow Jeeling for the poor ; though they depressed them , and though they depressed the human mind and shut it up from free dom of thought , yet they had such a fellow-feeling as not to allowthe poor to suffer from want . Bat after what has termed the Prptestant Reformation , and the establishment of the funding system j , a new order of people arose , who competed with the landed
aristocracy in the government ot the country . The monied aristocracy then became a powerful apd mighty competitor with the landed aristocracy , and as the wars of this country increased , and the national debt consequently increased , it was a natural result that the aristocracy of money should become more powerful than the aristocracy of land , so that in the course of time the ruling principle of the government became that of money . It is that which is now the ruling principle of the government , and ultimately it . will not only swallow up the poor , but the landed aristocracy and the church itself—it will be the means of uprooting bothjehureb and aristocracy ^ Then will be the time for the people to step in , and push the principles ! we are
advocating to night . When we are speaking of the government , we should riot distinguish the persons composing it as Whigs and Tories , for they are only two different regiments of one army of oppressors . Their common object is to rob the people of the greatest amount of labour that they can , aud they only quarrel as to who shall haye the greatest share . The Government , or the Whigs as the executive , and the Tories as the whipper-in , passed the Poor Law by the common consent of the whole of them against the evidence of the nation , for there were more than two-thirds of the evidence brought forward , Which proved that the Poor Law was the consequence of heavy taxation . It was passed-for the benefit of the oppressors and the money-jobbers . 1
lnis session , they have been talking of theCommutation of Irish Tithes , which they have carried with the consent of O'Connell and Peel , arid the rest of the faction in the House ; and during that time , they have passed the Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt Bill . They say the people will not get in debt now ; but I can tell you , tbat thosfe that do may be stripped of everything they have , arid be left to lie on the bare boards . Indeed , the bare boards are not left them , for they can be got out of the house by another law , without going through any law process . Thus they may be stripped of everything , and then if they 4 o not occupy a house of £ 20 a year , they may be forced out ' of that top : ; and where then are their homes ? Why , at the
bastiles . This is a law to protect property and oppress the poor , and it is because our eyes are open to see that they are legislating ior themselves in contradict tion to the people , that we come forward to demand our just and legitimate rights . ( Long continued plaudits . ) Had the Parliament of Eiiglaiid only shewn a disposition to give us but half justice , we should never have murmured in this way ;• could we have had but half a loaf j we should have been better satisfied ; but if a man buy three stones of flour for his family , he must pay 9 s . for it under the accursed Corn Laws , when , perhaps , the whole of his wages for the week would not amount to that tfum . I bring forward these things to show that the people of England are a peaceable people : there
never was , m any country in the-world , a people so peaceably disposed as Englishmen . Go into the agricultural districts , and see whole families dining off that accursed root , the potatoe , and ask yourselves if these are people who wish to destroy all order , and make the country a carnage house . No ; I know , and am persuaded , that die people of this country are the most peaceable and well-disposed of any people that ever existed on the face of the earth towards any Government that treats them well . ( Cheers . ) But it is necessary that their oppressors should say something against them . During the time that we have been suffering by the misrule of the Government , our eyes have been opened "' , we can search into the causes of nature ; we can look at
the fields , arid flowers , and shady grovesj and enjoy the pleasing scenes that surround us , better than the rich themselves . We can also look into the causes that have produced all the ills of our country , and we have discovered that it is the governing power that has . produced them . ( Applause . ) Let a : man walk round the suburbs of any great town , and look at the palaces that are being continually reared , and ask how it is that they have been reared , the inhabitants of those palaces being men who do nothing to get their lhirig . ( Loud cheering . ) How can they have risen ? There must be some secret power . Years ago the squire lived in his house on bis farm , which was let out in small portions to riumerons individuals : but now there is
hardly a town in which those palaces are noioccupiedby some of the squires , who never work . The tact is , that a system of funding has taken place , arid they live , without labour , on the rents derive'd from their land , and the produce of the people . This is the conseqnence of that corrupt system of funding , which we wpuld have put au end to if we Had had the franchise given to us ; but it will go onincreasihg except we get that franchise . For they have all the power in theii * hands j the army , the navy , arid all the riches of the nation , and / are , to a man , combined to carry out their nefarious system of plunder , tiritil they ere sh the people down to death ' s "door . But we will assert pur rights--we . will join from north to south—We will have what we demand , or
