' : from the above Return it will he seen that the « verage weekly- circulation of the Northern Star is nearly 2 . 000 above the Leeds Mercury ; that it is jtnore than three times thp amount of the Leeds InftUtgencer , and nearly four times that of the Leeds JTixzes- - Exclusive of the Leeds Papers , there are twentyire Newspapers published in Yorkshire ; of -which
the Harrogate Weekly Gazette , with an average « f 34 , and the Yorkshire Jiacatg Calendar , -with an average of 88 , weekly , are scarcely worth taking into the account : indeed , we believe , they are only published occasionally . Casting out these , then , ¦ Here will remain twenty-three Yorkshire Newspapers , pjduare of those published in Leeds ; and if , out of these twenty-three , we except six , the ¦ circulation of the Northern Star exceeds all the rest
pxt together . The Circulation of the Northern Star Is nearly Two Thousand a-week greater jh « n ttiat of any ottier Provincial Paper in the Three Kingdoms .

TODMORDEN RIOTS . —CHOAEJSTG OF THE "WHIG FROGS . The Whigs—even the "Whigs , are at last " oeginaing iiEwslliugly to lift their sleepy eye-lids , and to ^> erct ' : v « tbat the patience and forbearance of the people cannot he much logger practised on . In reference to the unfortunate disturbances at Todmorden . tbe Manchester Guardian says— " "We ielifcve very few people are aware of the degree-of organization which , for mischievous and illegal pur-; j > 03 es , has been introduced amongst the working . classes of Todmorden , and which most be effectually irokrD up , before anything like good order or tranbe
^ uii : can restored that unhappy Valley , ' ¦ or the authority and due administration of the law ¦ can be enforced . " This acknowledgment , from such , a quarter , is worth something . It proves that the aHanfeerless exhortations to union , given by the friends of jbe people , and seconded by the snfferir . es tand the indignities which they are made -to bear , 3 jave not been thrown away opon them . They have addressed themselves to the work of demanding , and defending their rights in good earnest ; and though BDnr < as regret more sincerely than we do , that the -men of Todinorden should have suffered" their sense
, of indignity to overcome their sense of prudence , we fancy the Whigs will find , eventually , that that ¦*• organization" whichhasT > een introduced ameng the TrorkvBg classes , no : for " mischievous and illegal ¦ jtsrposes , " bet for the obtaining of right and : ^ ie ppe-rention of wrong , is not to be " effectually "broken sp , " otherwise than by that fall measure of . right , in the deprivation of which it ori ginated . In that ringlcDess of purpose and perfect confidence in * ach odicr , which calls forth a whole district
simultaneously to resist outrage , or indignity , we hail the "bright , star of Union—a Union , which prudentl y -managed , and ri ghtly " directed , is irresistible for yocd . Let us . implore the people , however , ' not to irasre their sacred energies in useless and -unavailing -riots . These things are ever laid hold of by th ' eir enemies , sb a pretext for grasping yet more ti ghtl y , xhe reins of tyranny . Thus we learn from the . Guardiasu , that , in consequence of this affair , . Todmordra is filled with militarv .
Th *> wretched Whig hack labours with most per--tinadou 8 , but impotent malignity , to implicate \ Mr . Fieldek in the fell vengeance which this act -of folly , on . the part of a few individaals , will sioubuess draw down upon as many victims as can % e pounced on . Mr . Fieldeu was from home at -She time-Hrhen tie disturbances happened ; and the - * one « t "Whi g Editor insinuates , that he went-from Lome purposely that the mob might have their fling Ttdtbxnit his being called upon to interfere . Mr . Fielbet ? can well afford to laugh at the petty malice , noi : only of the Manchester Guardian , ' bBt ef the fiction whose cause it represents and

MB . SALT AND JfB . O'CONNOR . "We iid n « t receive the report of the Birmingham proceedings in sufficient time to do justice to their importance \ bnt we cannot ceny ourselves a participation in that rejoicing at the happy tprmi-¦ ation of this affair , which will , we are sure , be experienced by all good and true Radicali throughout the Empire .
The people have many disadvantages to cope with in their struggle to regain that just and natural position in society , which has been filched from them by the few ; bnt all other disadvantages rink inte insignificance compared with the great evil by which their bright prospects have yet been ever marred a disaffection towards , and disunitediiuss amongst each other . The oppressors have long kcc » this to be their
vantagepoint , and hare artfully laboured for its perpetuation , by lending their covert aid to such " agitating " leaders as , wrapped in self , excited the people for their own ends ; making merchandise of their wrongs , which , while affecting to despise , they had no intention to extinguish , lest thtir avarice , or their vanity should lack its gratification . Thus has Ireland , xinhappy Ireland , been tossed like a frail bark upon stormy waters , through a long period , while , with all her heaving and her labouring , no progress has been made towards the haven of national liberty and universal right—becan » -e tvery honest patriot , who would have rightly guided the peopled energies , has been silenced by the menaces and the
swaggenngs of him whom adventitious circumstances have enabled to direct the storm , —makiug it at once subservient to the filling of his bags and the inflation of hisvaniry . Long and wistful have been the uneasy glances with which the robber factions , and their chiefs especially , have regarded the firm union and cordial attachment now subsisting between the people and their leaders , in all parts of this country and of Scotland . Their unanimity of sentiment—their singleness of purpose—their onent-ss of design , struct
terror to the hearts of the enemy ; and in proportion to the intensity of their anxiety and fear , because of that union , was the joy with which they hailed the trifling misunderstanding between two good men , whose influence might be regarded as ' almost co-extensive . Their gaspiDg hopes seized eagerly on this as the beginning of a fracas amongst the leaders , which would end in a division among the rants , and a breaking up of the phalanx whose front they feared to contemplate . Good men , knowirg the frailty of human weakness , and the liability of men to
forget principle , when personal influence or power was at stake , trembled with apprehension , and all regarded the issue nf this contest as big with important resnlts . The issue is what we expected—what we must have expected—from men whosesoul * were bound up in the prosperity of the good cause . Without any compromise of honour or of principle on either side , but with honest and manly frankness , mutual explanations being given and received , showed that each was apprehensive only for the general good—fearful only that the people might be sacrificed—that their warmth was the honesty of zeal which each loved
in his opponent ; and thus out of that which our enemies hailed as a source of triumph has arisen a new cement for the bond of union . The leaders now know each other more thoroughly and perfectly their mutual confidence is thereb y increased and tie reliance of the people on their wisdom and discretion is increased also b y the proofs they have afforded of a readiness to sacrifice all personal considerations in their zeal for universal good . This is a glorious termination of the dispDte , and will do more to hel p forward the cause of Universal Suffrage than all the meetings which have been held for many montha .

James ' s Church , York-street , when , according to a resolution previously agreed to , addresses were delivered , which will be continued every succeeding Monday evening , at half-past seven . ' o ' clock ; Mr . Joseph Joneswas appointed chairman of the meeting ; after making a few observations . he called upon Mr . Gr . White to address the meet ng , -who entered into a description of the objects and principles of the
Union . Mr . Charles Connor and Mr . Hick also addressed the meeting on the same subjects ; after which 'William Rider spoke on the present position of the Radical cause , and after making some observations on the legality andnecessity of the people poaKouiDg arms , and on the conduct of a portion ot the BirmirijtUum Council , he concluded by / proposing the following resolution : — " That this meeting congiders it to be the right of every man in this country to possess arms , fcnd not merely to have arms in his possession , but to use them ( when all other means nave failed ) in defence of his" liberty , his life , and his property . "We therefore declare our
approval of the opinions and conduct of Messrs . O'Connor and Stephens , and also our total want of confidence in that portion of the Birmingham Council , who oppose the . ^ straightforward and honest course pursued by these tried friends of the people . " Tbe resolution was seconded by Mr . John Peacock , and after some debate was carried unanimously . William Rider also proposed the next resolution , which was seconded by Mr . David Black , and nnanimously agreed to : —" That Mr . Sleigh be requested to meet the members of the Leeds Northarn Union , in this room , on Monday evening next , at half-past seven o ' clock , to discuss the proposition net forth in the advertisement announced in his
proposed lectures . in the Music Hall , oamely , that " Radicalism is the road to anarchy and ruin , " and that Mr . Sleigh shall be at no expense whatever in calling the meeting , and the public shall be admittet ' i free of charge . " The third resolution was propnsed by Mr . George White and seconded by Mr . J . Walker , and like the previous two , unanimously agreed to—it was " That Mr . Clarkson , solicitor , of Bradford , be appointed treasurer to tie National Rent , and the money collected for the support of the West Riding delegates . " William Rider having vacated the office of secretary , in consequence of other engagements , Joseph Jones , resident in Rider-street , Burmantofts , was appointed to the office for the ensuing three months , and persons desiring information , &c , must direct to him .
Inquest . —On Wednesday evening last , an inquest was held at the Workhouse , on view of the body of a child named Charles Henry Scott , aged about six weeks . The mother of the child , a young woman , named Eliza Scott , stated that on Monday evening she went to bed with the child , and fell asleep while the child was at the breast . At about half-past five o ' clock the next morning she awoke and" iound the child cold . She called up the nurse , and the child on examination was found to be dead . The jury returned a verdict of "Found dead in bed . "
Caution to Cart Drivers . —On Wednesday last , a lad named Thos . Thornborough , was brought before the magistrates , charged with having driven his cart at a furious rate so as to run over a woman who was crossing the street near Boar Lane . The woman was severely hurt and has since been under medical treatment . The lad stated in his defence that on account of the great number of customers he had to supply with milk , he was obliged to drive at a pretty quick rate , and that he did not see the woman until after the cart had gone over the bar . H « was fined in the miti gated penalty of 5 s . 6 d . and 7 s . costs .

Lumb , of Halifax , after which £ 7 were collected towards liquidating the debt remaining upon the Chapel .
Anti-Radical Lectures . —A Dr . Sleigh , who , from printed testimonials that we have seen , seems to have attracted some notice in America as an advocate of revelation ajtainst infidelity , has advertised in our present paper certain lectures in whic ' j we suppose he is to prove that Radicalism is the source of all mischief . We perceive the Conservative Operatives are to be admitted free , but Radicals who choose to have their darkness enlightened are to pay one shilling each . The lectures were , we believe , attempted in toe rarly patt of this week , but failed . The tirsi lecture is to be delivered in the Music Hall , on Tuesday night .
Fire . —A fire broke nut in Mr . Prigfjs's flax mil ,. in W ater-lane , on Monday night , bnt by great exertions **¦ £ ? ; rot * nder oefcre the engines arrived . Fortunately M r .

Verdict " accidental death . "
Almanacks . " Hannay and Dietrichsen ' s Almanack , Astronomical Ephemeris , and Book of General Information for 1839 , "We are positively at a loss for words to express our astonishment at the unparalleled comprehensiveness of the Almanack justpubHshed by Messrs . Hannay and Dietrichsen , ^ for the ensuing year . There is scarcely a subject in the usual routine of events to which we do not find reference in this book of 100 .. pages , at the insignificant cost of 6 d . j a sum which positively can little more than cover the price of the paper * The biographical and chronological tables are exceedingly interesting , particularly those for the present vear .
The tides , eclipses , &c , are duly noticed , and the progress of Encke ' s comet during the remainder of the bresentyear , andGamnartVin 1839 , are traced by diagrams of the heavens . We have the list of the royal households- the House of Lords giving the titles of the Peers , the family name , the motto of the .

the corporation dignitie * ; ambassadors and consuls ; universities ; the list of fairs tnroughout the kingdom is by far the best ever printed ; and in short , as we have before observed , information upon every possible topic is afforded to the public in this most useful pamphlet . Messrs . Hannay and Dierrichsen have certainly put all competition out of the field , for we > hould say , it w . mld be imuossible for any other firm to produce a similar competition at five finies the cost .

He was lodged in prison , and the property has since been fully identified . He was committed for trial to Wakeneld House of Correction
Theatre . —Last Week of the Season . — Our readers will perceive by an advertisement that the amusements at the Theatre are afeout to be discontinued for the present , The next week is the lasc for the preseht season . The constant variety of the most superior talent which Mr . Dowhe has brought before the public of Leeds this season , will be long remembered , and will doubtless afford a strong inducement to the lovers of Theatrical amusements , to revisit the Theatre whenever that gentleman shall again undertake to provide for their entertainment . Friday night next , is the last
nignt ; ana on that occasion Mr . Downe will appear in a New Play of Mr , Sheridan Knowles , called "The Maid of Mariendprpt . " This is one of the most interesting pieces that can > ie presented to thu public— -one to which the most scrupulous could not possibly object—on any reasonable grounds . Mr . Downe has greatly exerted himself for several months past , and has been at very great expense in procuring those amusements . We do now hope that the last week will be the best week ; and that , at any rate , every one who loves the Theatre will on Friday night be present , to witness the new entertainment .
Acland in Leeds . —An advertisement in our present number will duly apprise all who wish to know that Mr . Acland has come hither ali * o , and will be hnppy to reeeive . as much loose silver as the good folks ot Leeds have got to give him . We guess that won't be much .

Northern Union . —A meeting on the above question was held at the White Bear inn , Idle , on Monday evening last . The inhabitants were acU . dressed by Messrs . _ Gragsby and Hewortb , who enforced the necessity of real Union and perseverance amongst the people . The addresses were listened to with the most profound attention . On the evening of Tuesday , the people of Birckenshaw held a meeting at the house of Mr . Abraham Batty . There was a very good attendance , and the people
were addressed by Mr . Wilkinson , Mr . FieWen , and Mr . P . Bussey of Bradford , and Mr . Morris Matthews of Littl * Town . The greatest unanimity prevailed during the meeting ; after which numbers enrolled themselves as members of the association . On the parties retiring down stairs , a very interesting conversation took place betwixt Mr . P . Bussey and Mr ; Ellison , a worsted manufacturer , alter which the people separated highly gratified with the proceedings ot the evening . * .. ' '
Meeting at the Odd-Fellows HALt .- ^ -On Monday evening , pursuant to notice , the people of Bradford , met in the Odd-Fellows' Hall , to discuss the legality of the people possessing themselves of arms and the justness and policy of such recommeridation . Ahout 1 , 200 peisons were present . At halt-past seven o'clock Mr . Peter Bus ^' y appeared on the platform , accompanied by a few triends , and proposed that Mr . Crossland , of Queen ' s Head , do take the chair , which being seconded , was put to the meetings , and carried unanimously . The Chairman then opened the business of tlie meeting , in a short but appropriate speech , in which he earnestly invited any opponents to come forward and discfcss the
subject upon which they had met ; after waiting some time and iio opponent making his appearance , Mr . P . Bussey came forward , and in a short address , in which he pointed out the necessity of a good understanding among the people on this subject , he hoped that some gentleman would come lorward and dispute the premises and set the public right upon the subject . During Mr . Bussey ' s addiess , Mr . Duce , beerseller , of bowling , caused an interruj ) tion , upon which Mr . Bussey again stepped forward nnd desired the gentleman to come upon the platform and discuss the question fairl y with them , but all to no purpose ; Mr , l ) uce continued hi * rigmarole . Mr . B . then enquired if he had been sent
the . e by his party , the Whi g * , lor the purpose of creating a disturbance , but he still continued to dis - urb the peace and order of the meeting , whereupon be was taken hold of by s-veral persons and forced upon the hustings -where he continued to stamp , and cursf , and swear , always declaring at the end of his swearing senlences , " that the people could never carry their object by physical lorce . " The Whig ten-pound gentlemen in the room ' must certainly have blushed for tin ' s advocate of theirs for moral power ^ for a maniac morel raving we never witnessed , but yet he is cypable of exercising the elective franchise and an intelli gen t ten-pounder . However , aittrthe lnpse of some time , the swearer turned grumbler , the lion became a bruin which
, he continued during the evening . Mr . J . Brook , next addressed the assembl y and had n » H proceeded far when another interruption was caused . Strange to say by as cond Whig beerseller , of the name of Schurrah , who declared he had been benefitted by the Reform Bill ; perhaps he may , it has made him a ten-pounder and thereby acknowledged thatheis a very sensible man by being a voter , a really wontlerlul discovery never made before ; when the second Whig Storm had partly subsided , Mr . Squire Farrer , and Mr . Christopher Wilkinson , presented themselws ou the hustings as opponents . Mr . Bii ^ sey then commenced the argtiiug of the subjectin the
, course ol winch he said i-hat the first position tint the people had a legal right to possess themselves ot arms , was conceded by their opponents , and theu went on to show the justness and policy of the Radical leaders , in so advising the people . He was replied lo b y Mr . Farrar , alter which Mr . B . again deteuded Ins po .-ition and was combatied b y Mr . Wilkinson , alter which Mr . Bussey again replied . A discussion then ensued between Mr . B . Deuison and Mr . Bus » ey . Before theconclosion of thwmeeting Mr . Clarkson read seventl extracts irom tie highest legal authorities to prove the legality of physical force .
HUDDERSFIELD . Ingham ' s Bankruptcy . —We have received a communication , figned . / . Billington , staling that several creditors of the late firm of 7 «« Aa / w , Daukers , Huddersfield , would be glad to I earn from the CommUsioners under the bankruptcy of the said firm , when a final dividend maybe expected . GuAnpiAV Meeting . —On Monday last , the usual weekly meeting of the Huddersn ' eld Board of Guardians , was held at their place of meeting—hut this . Onl y business done was the passing of a resolution to the effect that " No resolution entered on the Minute Book shall be rescin ed , unless a week ' s notice ot the motion for rescinding be given by
the person intending to move such motion . " Thi * led to some discussion—and some little altercation during which , Mr . Wm . Brook tthe assumed chairman , ) said , Gen tletnen , we have a law to put into operation ; we have been a laughing stock to the country at large , by our vacilating conduct in retarding the operations of this law ; and I have been blamed for conniving at this factious conduct of the opposition ; but 1 am determined to be blamed no more . If yon dp not proceed to put this law into force , we will , in spite of you . It must and shall be enforced . Mr . Midgely . —When did we oppose the law ? Point out a single instance , Sir ? Mr Brook . Why this motion is intended to retard the operation of rule order from the Commissioners
any or coming which requires our immediate attention ; if that order should be at variance with any twevious reBolution come to by this Board , inasmr . ca as the same could not be considered until a week ' s notice had been given , if this resolution be passed and be ' acted upon , I have no objection to put this resolution , if all rules or orders , coming from the Coinmis » sioners , requiring our immediate attentioa be excepted . Upon the Chairman refusing to put the tnotiou vit £ on * anch addition . Mr . Midgmv consented to it n tiiat da&pe . ' 1 he Chairman ociiig about to put this motion , "Mr . James Brook saio , Mr . Chairman yon have olten told this Board to try this law , and if any part of it prove * to be bad , you would join us in a petition to Government to have the same altered and amended . Now , Sir , do not you think that it is degrading tons , as Guardians
being the representatives of 100 , 000 inhabitants , when we come to a resolution upon a certain subject in accordance with the views of the rate-payers , and send the Commissioners an account of our proceedings ; they the Commissioners send us an order back to rescind the aforesaid resolution , as it does not meet their views . Is it proper that the wishes of this vast population and the resolutions of the Guardians should be set at nought , by men who are entire strangers : o us all—men whonever resided a day amongst us , and never paid a single rate to any oftheoverseersof the poor of these townships ? Da you not think that this is a bad feature of the law ? Aud if yoo do , will you join us in a petition to have that part of it altered ? Chairman . —No , I think this is the best part of the law . I think there ought to he a controuling power somewhere ; and I approve of the office of these Commissioners . He then put the resolution as amended , which was adopted .
Holmfihth . —At a meeting of the Northern Union at Holmfirth , oa Wednesday last , the people rallied round the standard of freedom , and upwards of fitty members wer « - enrolled . They have hitherto met at a public house , but have come to <* resolution to rent a room for the holding of their iuture uieHC * ings . The Mercury told us , not long ago , it was impossible to form a Radical Union in thac district .

Friends and Fellow Countrvmen , —\ ve feel it to be our duty to claim your attention and sympath * to the important but diabolical act of injustice wbibl we are now about to lay before yon . But before we proceed with the case , we beg to state that it £ not aparty or a political object rbut an object purelr ot , justice and philanthropy ; and whether you be Wljigs , Tone * , or Radicals , it demands your most serious and prompt attention . The factu of the casa are . aa follow - — * * - «<»
On the Wednesday after the last Poor Law dis . turbance at Dwvirsbury , about half-past six o ' clock in the morning , the house of Francis JJews was broken open by two of the ruffianly London Police ; ( Dews and his wile being from home , at their respective occupations , ) when they eommenced a search thereia , and after remaining about ten minutes ther departed , without assigning a reason , or producing any authority for their proceeding . On the Sunday eypning flowing , as Dews was proceecing to Ebene ^ r Chapel , he was seized ty one of the Dewsbury officials , and two ot the police ; handcuffed and dragged to the lock-op , where , in the nrst > ingtance v he was dei , ied the poor comfort of having a pillow from his hone , ( which was near the priaon . ) which
on to r at nis head ; the bed ou which ' he was desuned to pass thet night being a hard board . By the interference , how « ver , of friends , with the Chief ( .. onstabl * , he was eventually allowed to lodge at an inn , with oDe of the hated , peli . ee emissaries as a bedfellow , but was dragged through the streets to his lodgintr handcuffed . The next morning he waa taken to Wakefield , detained in the House of Correction several hours , and then taken ? up to the Court House IN CHAINS , for examination , as if h . » had been guilty of some crime of the first magnitude However , when Mr . Abraham Greaves , late of btrtjet Side , now ol Purston , was brought to identify him a ^ a participator in some pretended crime , he baid . u Thjtt man 1 cannot swear to : I never
saw him commit any breach of the peace in my life . " Dews was then v « ry unwillingly set at liberty by the ; authorities , without being brought before the magistrates . Shortly afterwards , application waa made to tbe Bench lor a copy of the information or warrant on which he had deen taken into custody , when one of the Dewsbury magistrates , in the > lang of a black-leg , remarked , " 1 dare say you wish you may get it . " A notice , in accordance with . the usual mode , has since been served on the tastnrdly police and the opstaft official , to prodnce the warrant for hii apprehension ; but from their neglecting to do this , it may fairly be assumed that they acted without any such authority . Such are die lacts of the case . ..- ¦¦ -
Here , then , are domiciliary visits with a vengeance . It is the acknowledged right of society , and nn absolute precept of the law of England , that nothing shall involve the liberty of the subject but the evidence of his misconduct ; and this evidence it is tht- first duty of a magistrate to have distinctly and clearly ascertained before he is authorised to deprive an individual , however humble , ot that most invaluable of all blessings—his personal freedom . It is not alone sufficient that a charge be preferred iu writing to warrant the incarceration of a fellowsubject ; thpre must be " proof en oath of some oflence . " The law mnst be proved to have been outraged , or it has no powpr to punish . This is an
undis | iutable axiom . There must be evidence ^ oa oath , of offence , or there can be neither warrant nor commitment ; and the most essential obligation 6 F the magistrate and the very natare and essence ofhu ofiice isto discriminate between accident and design —equity and revenge ; but the principles of justice , under the cloak of law , are now pfcrmitted to b « subverted , and the provisions of the . Constitution are made of none efiect . This despotic , tsruel , aad unlawful imprisonment and treatment Of Dews demands the attention and support of every feeling Englishman to obtain redress tor the injuries whicn have been so unjustly inflicted upon him . For mark , the blow was intended to destroy his character , by dragging him to prison ; and Ought not his character ( no matter how humblej tOl ) e equallj p otected with that of the monarch on the throiier for as our great bard
expressesit" Who atealrt my purse , steals trash ; 'ti » something , nothing ; _ 'Twa ^ nnne , ' tis his , and has been slave to thousands ; But he that filches ironi me my g « od name , Kobs nie nf that which not enriche * him , But makes me poor indeed . " The administration of justice is , indeed , the first pillar of the state , a * it is the firm bond which links the peasant with the prince , and connects and preserves all orders and degrees in the vast body of civil society . If we trace the evils which have ruined thrones , convulsed empires , and driven a peaceful race into riot and re . bellionr-the grand caase will often be found in the mal-admin | stration of the lawthe open and disguised perversion of justice . Law
anil justice , in the present instance , have been violated , disregarded , and trampled upon . Humanity has been laughed at and insulted by " men . of character , " of pretended " pious character , ' of liberal education , " and devout deportment , " whose object it should be to relieve Or to lighten the burthens of human affliction—to teach the lesson of lorgiveness and peace , and enforce the same by their precepts and example ; butj alas ! justice is neglected and refused—power is abused , and philanthropy is mocked by these haughty tyrants . Surely there is not oue who reads the little history of poor Dews ' wrongs , but must participate in the indignant
feelings of every true triend to justice . We hope that you , fellow-citizens , will join with us in putting an end to these violations of right and decency ; and in eudeavouring to obtain a speedy redress tor the wrongs sustained by this poor man , in this infamous transaction ; for remember , - that if we are renolved to oppose tyrannical laws , how much mor » imperatively wit our duty to resist tyranny whicb ha » not even the guise of law !; In conclusion , fellow citizens , remember that the case of i ) ews is your own case , for when one of the community is crushed the whole are crushed , and to obtain that , which every individual ought to have—JUSTICE—we now appeal to you—the object of
your Societies beiiig humanity and benevolence , to assist us vith your mite in bringing thes »» . lawlesi ftutnonnca <> ctoro a Jury oi ' . tcxr country , or wi out your aid this cannot be accomplisVea . Let us implore you ; ai » you value your independence aud just rightS t and those of your fellow-menj a « yoa regard the growing power and oppressiveneM of mammon with apprehension and terror 5 but above all , as you wish to promote the happine&s and security of yourselves and the rising generatioiij do not hesitate on this occasion , but come promptly forward to obtain redress for injured innocence . Stand np manfully , and fearlessly for yourselves and your own class , and show the tyrants and their accomplices ^ that when fairly aroused by such acts of outrage , the toiling classes can be all powerful , and will haYft justice to reign triumphant in the land .
