TRIUMPHANT RADICAL MEETING AT SOUTH SHIELDS . On Friday night , the most numerous meeting whichLas beenbeldin the above town , was eon-Yaned in the spacious Market Place , to receive Mr . O'Connor on his return from Scotland , to Hear ais defence of the imprisoned Radical * , the progress of -&e cause , and the fine of duty to be performed Mr . O'Connor did not arrive all half-past eight , when , upon beinf recognised by the assembled thooatnd * , he was ffreeted with a hearty welcome . Mr . Burks , of Is ewcastl * , a working man , who has recently been dismissed from his employment for attendance upon his Radical duties , was aadressiBg ta » meeting when Mr . O'Connor presented himself . y » y TR 10 MPHANT RAD s , Cja MEST . NG AT ^_ -D--J ; -v a . mftal nnm « oTi 5 meetinr
Mr . Boms . was engaged in ably dissectm * the letter of Daniel O'CoaneH to the men of Birmingham , in which he pointed oat the manr fallacies and falsehoods therein contained , when ae gave way , in airier that Mr . O'Connor might be heard . Mr . O * Cosxo » waj agaia greeted with hearty -cheers , and seeing the whole strength of the middle «! ass ? 8 -apon tk » skim of the taeetiag , he proceeded to expound tke relative duties of tho several classes of society . He contended that if ever revolution other than swral took place , that the entire responsibility woaM fee upon ua men who had a privilege which they obstinately withheld- from those equally entitled ss themselves to its possession . He said tM people should sot petition again ; tkat the
middlemen , who bad the votes , and who complained of ¦ their violence , while they profess «< d to feel for taeir misery , and a willingness to redress it if the proper meatts wss sought , thotdd bow corns forward and petitioa their on representative * . He passed a Idgh eologium won Sir . Attwood , for the aianly snaaoer in wiich he presented the National Petition , aad deaptmcedO'Coaoellfor the manaer ia which ke had bartered a nation ' s caafidence . He adverted , in terms of high exultation , to the Chartist meeting which took fiace in Dublin , and pledged himself thai the Irish only sought ta opportunity of rescuing themselves from the dangerous and destructue influence . of O'ConnelL In answer to O'Connell ' s letter , he pointed out the method is which the
isiddle daises live upoe taxation , proper by oppres-* L sn , and escape by &exr law . - He saii th&t tbe fabrication of law was the statesman " * inheritance , while its myttioeatJOB wag the entail ^ ropertr of its -expounders , He attributed much etf the snecess of the preaest move to the light which the torch-light meetings shed apoa the slaves who were denied the light of meeting ander tike sun ' s rsj-s . He said that the proclamatioE of the Queen was not law , and -may be illegal , ; and declared that-shonld persecution continue through the summer , he "would again issue a . proclamation-for re-lighting tfe » . sun ' s substitute , ior the people should not perish for want of instruction . He said that he had beea promoted from the Tanks of the aristocracy to a commission in the
democracy ; and that , notwithstanding the 60 th of < leo . HI ., he had drilled and trained bis corps in ¦ evolutions which could not be successfully withstood , inasmuch as tht-y cannot starve a sentiment , fence against an opinion , or shoot a principle . Bat , said hi , wken the voice of kaowledge can no longer « lence the cannon ' * roar , when the neighing warhorse mn » t again be Ireard , and if sword * once more oust-smash in twain in angry strife , if man must be armed against his fellow , wnich mar God avert—Irat should that dread alternative be forced upon us , then we will invoke the Creator of the poor , who lias not beea the creator of his poverty , nor of his tyrants ; under him we will dread no reverse or fear 3 » o foe ; for God will be our King that day , » nr l we'll
be soldiers under Him . and should we fall , and remain nnburied , and unhonoured , through the hoor of strife , the accomplishment « f our principle will ^ ive birth to the historian , who will substitute an elegy in characters white &t snow , for the epitaph which tyrants had written in characters of blood ; and , when the warrior shall lay peaceful in the sha . de , iis memory willlaxuriaatly spring through the pure and hallowed moald , and " long Kve green ia the land of his nativity . He explained in a most familiar manner the " process by whi < h the landlords , uraaufactHrVra , and shopkeepers , n pectivelvmade profit of labour . He explained how the aeopl ? , as ¦ consumers , and by * h © increase of their powers , gave an undne increase to the property of landlords
• without any act of their own , while the very fact -enabled than to amass aR mat property which they ¦ contended should alone be represented , and brine possession of which they became enabled te preserve their dominion over labour . The manufacturer . ¦ upon the other hand , lired upon the producing power of the people , while he would increase that ¦ power by the substitution of a foreign for a domestic granary . The shopkeeper lived , in moat instance * mm the bet of people being reduced t » the nece *^ sty of living from hand to month , and upon the ictitioui price which taxation enabled them to ekarge for all articles of consHmptioa . He explained that a tobacconist with £ 500 , would undertake a reat of £ 60 per annum , and taxes of £ 20 per aim-am , npon the prospect -which . taxation held oat of remuneration ; and thus the man with only
£ 25 a-yesT , th * t is five per cent , ireukl contract to pay £ 56 p * r annum more than he was worth in the world , and live and make money into the bargain . That saving , he said , wonld be made by Universal Suffrage , the effect of which would fee to place every member of society in tiat situation in which it has pleased Godto call him , and in which no indi-¦ ridual would be coatemptible of his own creation or selection f # r , be the poritioaof man now ever so low or degraded , he i » not responsible to society , for in its selection be has no voice—he is a victim to circumstances and not the creator of them . He is -governed by the . act * of others , and not a free agent in the management or disposal « f his own resource * . Mr . O'Connor then appealed to themeetine
on behalf of the incarcerated Delegates , and insisted ¦ upon the necessity of throwing the shield ef the law ' s injustice roand them , and to meet quibble by -quibble . He asked whether he should be treasurer , -which wa * responded to with load and hearty cheers . He said that he had then , during the present week , addressed the men of Newcastle , Carlisle , Edinburgh , and South-Shields , and would , after address"ing the people of Sunderiand ob the -morrow , start to the nomination at Glasgow , whe » he woold meet the raited foes of the people on Moiiday , and advocate before them those principle which they -delighted not to hear , because ia the people ' s wretchedness they recognized their own oppression and misrule , aad shuddered as guilty men at the ¦ recollection of their iniquiti ? s . -
Mr . O'Connor spoke at considerable length and in freat spirits ; he was loudly and eBthusiastically ¦ cheered all through , and at the dene one long and iiaanimon * peal announced the entire satisfaction of his audience . Tbe meeting did not close till haH-p * st ten , when Mr . O'Connor retired to the largs association room , accompaaied by hi * frieads , when eeneral conver-« anon was interestingly kept up till aearly twelve o ' clock , when Mr . O ' Lonn > r startedin a chaise tor Sunderland , where it will be seen he addressed the people upoa the following evening , a T $ port of which will . he found elsewhere .
During the time which Mr . O'Connor was with tbe association his health was drank , and in responding to it he gave s minute detail of his expectations from ths present agitation , aad above all thing * recommended that if any of the leaders ahoRldsquabble , to let them fight it ost without the slightest interference mpon their part ; and when one leader abased another , always to withdraw their confidence frem the aceusiag part ^ , unless the J ^ sWfa&a ,. wasjwortfcy _ tfeefi- comideratian and capable 6 T jmmeaiaxe' prwfc- — - " Mt . Bcrss said that , previwisljrto ' tke departure of Mr . 0 Connor , he hid to propose a vote of thanks to Daniel O * Coimell for the magnificent present of Feargxu O'Conaor to the £ ognsh Radicak .
Lpoa the whole die meeting wa « meat triumphaat and ti » e evening was most agreeably spent . A defence fund ommittee was appointed .

Mr . O Corn . or then stood forward , and was received with lo « d Md eonfaraed cheering . He spoke at great 4 enf / th . and in a . strain of humour and eloquence whi fa we have seldom heard surpassed , but such u our- "Baited 'fcne , thst we cannot' give more than s fa- it oatlin * of his obfervationg . He saidvvorkip i mm of Carli&le , there most be more than an ord inary share of miiery and lmffeiing among you , # hen so large an assemblage of you are brought together . I hope your Whig and Tory reporters ^ Jl say whether I now repeat the same speech over figain . Tb « se men hive nothing in view but plunder , piunder ; but I can assure them that this time at least they shall have something new , though it may not be to them ever palatable .

When I met you ea a former occasion , the National Petition was not presented —( hear );—but now Mr . Attwood ha * given notice to the two factions to quiu or grant the just claims of the people . Tree the Petition wag not signed by John Wroe , but by the hud working mea of thig country . Mr , Attwood stated to the Hcraae that ht approved of -nil the five principle » contained in the Petition , aad be trusted if they were not soon granted , that the people would wrench them from them . You mar appoint moral force committees to-morrow , an 4 go from house to boose , and see how many of the shopkeepers will sign your petition . There may be a solitary oae here and there—bat , depead npon it , they would be * ery few . Thank Goo , we
have done without them . The Government has shown its utter imbecility in attempting to iacarcerate some of the very best men of the country . Doe 3 such conduct intimidate you ? ( Cries of " no no . " ) No I in the same proportion as they prosecute your friends , eo rise * your determination to support them . You remeiftber your present corporatioasof what materials they are made of—men who have sprung into power and consequence from the lapboard and the counter , who , when it stated their own selfish pwpeae , endeavoured to excite yoo to a revolution—though at that time it was all moral farce , or a moral revolution ; bet aow when you agitate for your own rights—it is said yoa wish to bring about a physical revolution : but the
physical force is all on their own side . Look at Lord John Russell's circular to the Lords Lieutenant of the counties , to get up associatiens , and to furnish them with arms , to put down tbe working elapses * How long L « such conduct to be endured ? Shew the Goverameu t that you are pr »« pa * e 4 for the we rst ; and , above all , support those mea who are likely to b 9 incarcerated by the GoT « rnment . I am at present under a prosecution my « el £ , and I wish the Attorney-General luck of his job , as I can tell him it shall oa one of the hottest he ever had anything to do with . 1 may suffer by the base and wicked conduct of the * e men—but I have the gratification of knowing I hare the people at my back . I will con mr prosecutors some of the bitteres ; momenta
they ever experienced . If 1 fail , it will not be for want of your support . 1 do not mean in a pecuniarv point of view , for I am in a position to defend myself , bat others are not so situated , and must be supported . Nothing has shown the united determination of the people , more than the peace and good order , which have invariably characterized their proceedings ; partial outbreaks are wb&t our enemies wished—for they would ha * e mined our cause . But let our enemies once commence he game , and attempt to stay or put dowa our peaceable and orderly agitation , then we will carry war into every hoa «; aad we will then see what all the soldiers , with Daniel O'Connell ' s 500 , 000 fighting men , will do;—bless their weak souls , they cannot stab a single principle , nor upset an argument . We defy all the united force they can bring against us . You are now ready fcr the Suffrage , and I trust in such a position to take it . if much longer kept from you .
The higher and middling classes are eati-fied—they never mix with the people—the wealthy and oppressive manufacturer looks as a guilty man does in a mirror ; he sees his guilt in every pale face before him . The people were never so orderly . I enly blame them for being so tame—for having borne with privation so long . Now is the time , rai * e your voices for liberty , and down wiih the temple of corruption . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . O'Connor then censored in a bitter and sarcastic strain the miserable shuffling of Lord John Russell , Melbourne , and Co ., and called upon the people to establish a Defence Fond for the support of their friend * . During the delivering of the speech , which lasted upwards of an hour—the lightening flashed , and thunder rolled in terrific grandsur—yet there was no rain—cor did we observe a single person retire from the meeting . The following resolutions were then moved and carried : —
Moved by J . B . HansoD , and seconded by Thomas Halsteai— "Considering that a Defence Fund is absolutely necessary—seeiag the advantage taken of several « f the gtaaoefc supporters of . the people , in their preseat defenceless state , this « wfa | pledges iuelf , by every means in it * power , to * npport such a fund . " Moved by H . Bowman , and seconded by Alex . Baiid— "This meeting return * lt « best and mo * t heartfelt thanks to Feargns O'Connor , Esq . for tun freat and unwearied exertions ia the e&a *« of the working classes of thi * country . "
A vote of thanks was then gi » en to the Chairman , and three tremeadous groans for the hireling Whig Carlisle Journal , aad the meeting quieUy dispersed .

Majority 5 Friday , June 21 . On the motion for the second reading of tbe Redcar Harbour Bill , there arose an interesting and important conversation as to the nuceesity of " karbour * of refage , " but strong opposition wan manilested to the principle of " passing toll « ; " and the bill was eventually rejected by a majority of 86 , the numbers being—ayes , 32 ; noes , 118 . On the ordere of the day being moved , Mr . MACKINNON inquired respecting the state of our relations with Persia , wkether the members of the embassy , who had quitted that country continued to receive their salaries .
Lord PALMERSTON observed that , in such negotiations , temporary withdrawals became necessary sometime ; but that did not always terminate the correspondence . In the present ca-e , instead of biing ordered iome , they were deeired to remain in the neighbourhood of Persia ; but Sir J . M'Neill , being absent , was subjected to the regulation of the deduction of half his salary . Mr . MACLEAN asked , as we were not at war with Perria , whether any representations had been made regarding the interruption of the diplomatic messengers— the conduct ot Count Simonvitch and another Rosgi&n officer , at Caubul—and the attack on Sir F .

Lord PALMERSTON said , regarding the first and second questions , that answers would be found in the correspondence on the table of the House .

sation in the court . ' It was considered advisable by some to have the cook ' s chest searched . The boy , Mueller , having been brought in , the first step taken with respect to him was the production of the , coat and trousers , which he iaentified as belonging to the captain . The jacket which was burnt , on being used as a cover to the lantern , he identified ae belonging to the mate , He also »< aid . with respect to a naw quadrant which was produced in a case , that the captain had bought it at . Leith for his son . He also identified the watch-chain and the cla ? p purse as the property of the captain . The long purse and the hair watch-guard he identified as the property of the mate .

Mr . Blech than interpreted the deposition of Mnellerto him , and the lad signed it . The box which contained the money about which the quarrel . took place-on Wednesday , between the cook and Mueller , was produced . It was observed by the Bench that it was the same in amount which the mate had upon aim , and appeared like a division of the captain ' s money between the mate and Muller . There were between them sixty pieces of silyer , which made the division to each h thirty pieces of silver . " WeidemannY evidence was then interpreted to Mueller . Mr . Backhouse Maid he thought it would be necaswy to adjourn tothe following day . The Court then adjourned to the following morning at tea o ' clock . MAYOR ' S CHAMBER , WEDNESDAY JUNE 19 .
The bo $ Mueller was again brought forward , and the first witness called waa Guy Potts , and his evidence was read to him by Mr . Kidson . Potts said he had nothing t © add to it . The cook ' s evidence was next gone through , and interpreted to Mueller . The cook identified thecoat and trousers as those of the captain . The cook also said He had no doubt that the five shirts which had the initials picked out were the captakf ' s . He identified the mate ' s cap . He laid he had no quarrel With Muelle ' r . On Wednesday evening , Mueller smelt strongly of liquor , and he was won . deriqg ' where he might have got it from , as the captain was in the habit of locking it up . That
led him to suspect , and he looked into the boy ' s box , when he found three bottles of liquor—one of ram , one of Geneva , audone of wine . In ( he one corner of the box he found a linen bag , which was heavy , and also a small wooden box , containing money—aix five-franc pieces , and some small coins , which he did not know the value of—and which money he thought was the captain ' s . He asked Mueller where he had got the money , and he said the mate had given it him . He went to the mate on the following morning ( Thursday ) , aad asked him if he had given the money to the boy . The mate made no reply , but only rested his head on the table . He ( the cook ) then told the crew what he had foand ; and the crew all questioned the lad where he had got the monev from .
lhe boy did notrejjly , but left the roof , and called the mate , who remained outside the roof , but came to this entrance of the roof , and said tie b » y had taken the . money out of his ( the mate ' s ) trunk . He ( the cook ) asked the mate where he got the money . The mate did not reply where he got it from , but Haid it was his own . The cook asked how that was possible , knowing the mate had no money , and said it belonged to the captain . The mate replied that the money belonged to the captain ; and he had found it behind the looking-glass , aud desired witness to give it up again . Witness replied he would not give it up till the captain came on board . Witness then took the bag and the money , and locked it up in his own chest At dinner-time the same day the mate came into the roof , and requested witness again to give up the money . He tnen itava the
money , for the purpose of having no noise made about it ., Witness at first said he would not give the money up , and then the mate said he would deny having had the money . Witness then got into a rage at this , and denired the mate to quit the roof . The mate left the roof . At two o ' clock on Thursday witness was employed in the after-part of the ship , when the mate called upon him , and witness went to the mate , who sat beside him , and in a friendly kind of manner requested witness to give the money to him , as it would make him miserable if he did not . Witness said he would do so if the mate would put the money behind the glass in his presence , to remain there till the captain came back , but the mate refused and said , "Do as you like . " J
The Mayor said , he wished the witness to understand that the Bench was satisfied with the straightforward and satisfactory manner in which he bad givea his evidence . Several of the crew were examined , but their evidettcaJiA 5 , not important . Ta «^^ -Magistrates then retired , ana , after an atiSeneeof naif an hour , returned , when the Mjt jvon said—It is now my duty to Inform Gontheffteri that ha in discharged , and that the rest of the crew are remanded till to-morrow at eleven , when it is possible that further evidence may be produced , and at that time we shall come to a final determination . The Court then adjourned .
Thursday Morning . —After a private consultation of about an hour , the Mayor ordered the bay Mueller to be introduced , and addressed him as follows : — " Daniel Frederick Mueller , it is my duty to inform . you that the magistrates commit you as a principal in this horrible murder , to take your trial for the offence at the as-izes . Whether or no the judge will admit you as evidence , it is not ior us to say : but our impression is , that he most probably will . " Mueller heard this announcement without being in the slightest degree moved , and was then taken from the bar . The boy , Weidemann , was then brought in , and told that , being a minor and a foreigner , no bail could be taken far his appearance as a witness at the ensuing assizes : aad that he was therefore to be detained till tbe 24 th of July ia Durham Gaol , where every indulgence and accommodation , consistent with his safe custody , would be afforded
Pust and Eichstaedt were asked if they were prepared to give bail for their appearance as witnesses at the Assizes . Large bail wonld be reqnired , lest , by their leaving the country , the ends of justice should be frustrated . The witnesses said they could not find bail . They were then informed that they also were to be detained in Durham . Ehlert , during the lajt few days , has been exceedingly dejected , weeping much , and reading religious books . When questioned on the subject of the murder , he uniformly affirms that the boy alone killed the captain , and that he ( Ehlert ) from mistaken humanity , improperly assisted in hiding the dead body , to screen the lad from punishment He is much altered in appearance since he was first taken into custody .
Mueller , when in the presence of others , has the appearance of immoveable apathy ; scarcely anything seems to make the slightest impression on him . When , however , the coroner , at the close of the inquest , read over the official document in which Ehlert alone was declared by the jury to . be guilty of the murder , a smile of aelf-gratnlation for a moment disturbed the features of Mueller ; and when the latter was yesterday informed bv the Mayor that he also stood committed for the crime , a momentary paleness was visible on his face ! When he is alone he sings to himself , and appears perfectly at his ease ; but if visited by Superintendent Brown , he begins to cry and show symptoms of terror . So cool is be on aft relating to the murder , that when the sketch of the stone wa * taken , he , with the greatest indifference , held op tae rope to show how the body was tied .
The prisoners and such of the crew as are detained to give evidence were removed to Durham gaol yesterday afternoon . —Sunderland Herald of Friday .

PAISLEY AND RENFREWSHIRE CHARTIST DEMONSTRATION . A largn meeting of the Chartists of Renfrewshire was held oa Saturday afternoon , in a . field about half a mile north of Paisley . The day was excellent , and the meeting in consequence was well attended . At one time there could not have beea less than from 25 , 000 to 30 , 000 persona upon the ground . Great numbers formed themselves into a procession in Paisley , and
arrived at the place « f meeting , each party preceded by its respective band « f music , aed we counted abootfifty Sags and pennons in the line of march . The following are a few of the inscriptions : — ? ' Universal Suffrage , Annual Parliaments , and Vote by Ballot . " «• Universal Suffrage and no compromise . " * ' If there ' s no freedom in the cottage , there shall be none in tkepalaee . " « Reason no losger with tyrants , man has but « nce to die , " 11 "We have set our lives apon a cast , and we will run the haiard of the die , " < fee . -
After the committee and members from the Conreattenbad taken their places mw > n the hugtincs , it ws « proposed that Mr . Jahu * Paterae * fee called to toe chair . The proposition was agreed to by accla-B v $ j ? I ? ' . ¦ ¦ - , The Chairman said he had no intention * f making a speech npon that occasion , as their timel would be sojnuQa better occupied hearing the gentlemen who had come from a distance to address fliesa . He hoped the men of Paisley would conduct themselves in their usual ordefrly manner . The butanes * of the meeting would be commenced by a rounr ladv presenting a bonnet to Dr . Taylor , their worthy representature in the National Convqntioa , from the ladies of Renfrewshire . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Peter Clark would introduce the young lady presently . ( Great cheering . ) r ' ^ Mr . P . Clark , accompanied by four or five ladies then came forward to the front of the Hustings , the

first of them bearing in her hand a handsome Glengarry bonnet . A Scots thistle , done in silver , ornamented the front of it , bearing the inscription"Wha dare touch me . " Three eagle ' s feathers were hkewise stuck in front , which gave the otherwii * ' p lain worsted bonnet a very imposing egect ^ ¦" ¦ The lady held up the bonnet to the meeting amidst immense applause which having subsided , Mr . Clark said he had been deputed by the ladies ' of Paiiley to tender to Dr . Taylor , along with the present they were about to make him , their sincere thanks for the able and straightforward manner in which he had acted since he became their represen-^ feW ^ bjI ^^^ jj ^ . « J Vuf m tTu wi'Tt ? : ""^ i ?? "
tative in the National Convention . ( Cheers . ) He begged leave to offer him their warmest acknowledgments for tbe way in which he conducted himself , and to assure him that , although the present was a trifle in itself , it carried along with it their wishes for his welfare and the « ucce « s of the cause .. ( Cheers . ) Mr . C . concluded by introducing Miss Janet Blair as the young lady who was to present the bonnet . ( Great cheering . ) Misg Blair then curtseyed to the meeting , and placed the bonnet upon the Doctor ' s head , amidst shouts of applause from the assembled multitude , which lasted a considerable time . ¦
The Doctor then addressed the meeting as follows —Women of Paisley , as it is utterly impossible vhat you can hear my thinks just now , I . have simply to say that I will take an opportunity soon to thank you more at length . ( Cheers . ) Accept my pledge then , that whenever your rights or liberties are interfered with , that I shall be found at my post defending them . To the ladies I cannot be sufficiently grateful ; but I assure you I appreciate your kindnssi , and wish in the words of toe poet ,-that 1 might be able to show my acknowledgements—• " That woman had bat one rosy raouth , That I might kiss you all from North to South . " ( Cheers . ) The Doctor then descended from the chair apon which he was standing , and in token ot his sincerity , saluted the lady who presented him with the bonnet , which ended this part of the proceedings .
Mr . Samuel Miller , from Elderslie , was then called upon to move the rtrst resolution , which , was to the effect that ihe meeting highly approve of what has been done by the General Convention during its sittings in London and Birmingham , aud declare their confidence in-the ability and integrity of that body . Mr . Miller said there was never a body of men in any country who deserved batter of the working classes than the Convention . ( Cheers . ) The country had placed the individuals composing that assembly in a proud and dangerous position , and if they were not ably supported , they might bid adieu to any hopes of liberty , and prepare for a long night of degradation ; ( Cheers . ) After a a few remarks upon the Whig and Tory press , and an attack upon Messrs . Muntz and O Counell , Mr . M . concluded by proposing the resolution .
Mr . David Thomson seconded the resolution , which wa » put Irom the chair , and carried uuaaimously . Mr . Pitkethley , oncominj ? forward , was received with great applause . Radicals of Renfrewshire , he said , as a member of that Convention to which they had given their thanks , he could not sufficiently express the pleasure he felt in witnessing the determination wtiich they evinced to achieve for themselves those rights and liberties of which they had been ho long and so unjustly deprived ( loud cheers ) , and that they had resolved to hava Universal Suffrage and nothing less . ( Cheers . ) In the West Riding ot Yorkshire , which he represented in the Convention , they would have nothing less . ( Cheers . ) They were determined to stand by first principles , and the v
would not be satisfied with anything less than the whole demand . ( Cheers . ) He could assure then , that the men of England were determined to achieve their rights , and that they would not be slaves to any faction , or any set of men much longer . He was authorised to offer the right hand of fellowship to Scotsmen , and to say that if they stood firm to their principles , they would stand by them , to the last . ( Cheers . ) He believed the feeling for the Charter to be universal throughout the country . At all the meetings which he attended they appeared to be animated b y one spirit and ene mind . He had been at a meeting in Lanark , the day previous , and a more beautiful place his eyes never beheld . The men there were as ripe and ready as any men he
had ever met to demand the full measure of justice , and not for one moment to be satisfied with anything less . Mr . P . referred at length to the evilg inflicted on tUe poor by tue New Poor Law Bill—the shutting of them in Bastiles—tae starvation diet which was allowed them—the separation of families and the selling of the bodies of the poor for dissection after death . ( Cries of shame . ) The Rural Police system was ap ' an of the Whigs , he s » id , to deprive them of their liberties , and to substitute a farce to ? xt in lieu of toe" military against the people , as the Government were aware that the soldiery coald not be depended upon in a ' contest with the people . Th « soldiery understood politics as well as them , and understood that they were ill used M Well as
them , and that if the Poor Law Bill was successful , Chelsea Hospital might be sold , and themselves ia their old age turned into oae ' of the Bastiies to starve upon skilly . ( Hear , hear . ) The police were a more ignorant , and consequently a dangerous set of men , and although Scotland might escape the infliction ot the English Poor Law and a Rural Police for a time , whenever England waa secured , Scotland would be subjected to the same yoke , as he believed it was the intention of Government to place the whole kingdom under a state of surveillance similar to what it was in France . ( Cheers . ) He advised them not to be cajoled out of the path they were in by a Corn Law or any other agitation . The system which allowed some of their industrious labourers
to be paid with 2 £ d . per day * must be changed from the foundatioD . ( Cheers . ) They should show their determination to bear the tyrants no longer—to be impressed no longer—as every man was a slave who submitted to the yoke . ( Great cheering . ) Mr . P . Clark , Secretary to the Renfrewshire Political Union , proposed the second resolution . Mr . C . said , as there were gentlemen to address them , much more able to instruct them than he was , he would simply read the resolution and move it for their adoption . The resolution was tothe effect that tha people had an undoubted right to possess arms far the defence of life and property , and that if interfered with or illegally attacked ia meeting for constitutional purposes , that thev claimed t \ Z
right of repelling force by force » and meetiag illegal attacks upon their lives by justifiable homicide ( Great cheering . ) Mr . C . said tie had only one word to say , which was , that he agreed entirely with the sentiments expressed in the resolution , and trusted all present agreed with him . ( Cries of All , all , " and cheering , ) Mr . James Burns said they did not claim the right to possess arms for the purpose of destroying life and property , but for the purpose ef preserving peace , law , and order . ( Cheers . ) The law of the country recognised their right to possess arms , and the Scriptures said to those who had not arms to sell their garments and buy them , and he would say unto that meeting—Be ye also ready , for in a day or an hour which ye think not of ye may be called upon . ( Cheers . ) Mr . B ., after seconding the
resolution , retired . It was then put from the chair , and earned unanimously . Mr . Abram Duncan , M . C . for Dumfries , then addressed the meeting . He said if they did not follow out . the resolution , then moved , seconded , sad adopted by themselves , i t would proclaim upon their part a great deal of folly , a great deal of weakness , and a great deal of imbecaitr . If not followed out , it weuld have been better never' tr > have been adopted , as it might lead otjiers to act with confidence on the strength of their resolatioa , and th « jr ' mn » t be . aware that in the carryiag out of thev resolution , something more was ne cosswyiaatf ^ the holding up of their ¦ hands . ( Cheers . ) fa the remarks which he had to make , h « would refer to
some o ! me passing opinioasof the day apon their movement .. It was said by many as an excuse f « not joining the movement that there were bad men in the Convention , whose views they could riot : a * w »» with , and thatsome pf the moat influential ftjffiff / ters had left it because it was supported and MbT fools . He did not think itwttfafr'to .
