THE SACRED MONTH : THE XVER MEMORABLE MONTH !!! ' The month of August , in the pre 3 ent year , will "be long Temembered- Its history -will be -srritten , by the faithful chronicler , in words of mourning , such as shall cause all former details of oppression to sink into the shade -when brought into comparison with the bold relief of tyranny , as , in that month , its lia . teful head "was reared .
In that month all ihe multifarious forms of power ^ -which may bo either assumed or commanded by raited wealth and vice , "were concentrated in one fell phalanx against the people and their rights . - Laws in the most subtle and appalling of its forms—brute force , in its most deadly aspect—the press , with its almighty power over those who hare adopted the easy fashion of being thought for—localTigilancelocal deceit—local persecution , intimidation and cruelty ;—wealth , with its ascendancy—Aristocracy with its influence—the middle classes , with their exclsave electoral privileges—the Government , with
its representative and administrative powersthe Q . CEES , with her executive authority—cabinet dicta— . JEilicial quibbles—ihe prejudices of jurymen—tiie prostration of truth—the perversion of the pure course of justice—the infamous devices of spies and informers—the hope of promotion , held out as an inducement for betrayal—the promise of lucrative provision , as the reward of desertion , and the threat of extermination as the consequence of adherence to principle and honesty ;—all—all hive been marshalled in array against -am oppressed , peaceful , peace-loving ,
virtuous , and enslaved people . Such have been the odds in favour of the rka ^ oppressor in" his "warfare with the poor oppressed . Bnt let him thafstandeth take heed lest he & 31 . Though many b * rave and good . men -ha ^ e been consigned to dnn geensj let not the oppressors therefore triumph aid exult as though a victory had been obtained one more such victory win prove the "knell of tyjanny , and light oppression to its grave . Meantime , the struggle between might and right , which the last month so largely witnessed , while it
illustrates forcibly in all its bearings the truth and justice of the people ' s canse , -will furnish stimulants to persevering effort . The ferocions attacks on the indnstrious classes for their declared intention to refrain for a short period from work , proves the interest of the taskmaster in the toil of his slave , and awaiensin the mind of the slave a corresponding deare to relieve himself from the trammels , of wealth , in which he has no participation , and from the mystification of laws from which he receives no . protection .
From the meanest spy to the QrEEX of these realms , the whole powers of party hava been arrayed against Universal Suffrage . The Royal Speech , approving all that has been done , concludes the oligarchal muster ; and though the factions organs cry out victory , and point Trith fiendish exultation to the prisons filled with patriots , we tell them yet— That TictTT waits on honesty alone ; And villanT snecessfnl , in its best Appearance , is-defeat .
Do our enemies demand to see ihe evidences of our-victory and of their defeat , we bid them look to the healing of breaches among the people , and to ihe consolidation of opinion effected by their mnrderons oppressions ; we bid them listen to the voice of nnion , borne on every passing breeze , and tell them that it is a sign of strength which ca , nnot be successfully opposed ; a strength which has resulted mainly from their efforts to "break down the spirit of the pcopler we tell them this i ? evidence that in the struggle the advantage has been ours ; and for proofs of their defeat we point them to the prisoned captives and the ontnujed law .
The noble displays of Loveit and M'Dor aix . in defending themselves , their party , and their principles , against the hired ingenuity of legal mysti-£ ers , are in Themselves imperishable evidence ;? of the power of right . Let the people read and read again the speeches of these immortal patriot ? , and mark ihe answers , furnished by truth and virtue , to mystification and power . Some hireling scrTkes have hazardth ] a poor attempt to depreciate the eloquence they could not imitate and dare not even faithfully report . The defence of Horxe Tooke has been cited as matter of comparison with those of Lovett and M'Docail , to shew the difference between the leaders of the present and of former times . We
desire to detract nothing from the memory of such a man as Tooke , { rat when his name and powers are made ihe pretext for injustice , we cannot lelp asserting that , with a due allowance for , all circumstances , Lotett and -M'DorJai . in their inimitable stands against oppression , leave him in the shade . Let it be remembered that Tqoke was the first-scholar of his day , and that his position in society enlisted in his cause many who hated , his politics , hat dreaded his reproofs , while Lovett is a mere working man , and M'Docajll but a lad . Let it be remembered also , that the accomplishment of , _ Tooke ' s plans were not viewed by the Aristocracy of his dav with half thft horror with which the
accomplishment - of Universal Suffrage would be Tie-wed in the present -times . - AD agitations till the present one have been for class distinction , and have consequently been ' supported . bv a class ; our principles tend to destroy all class distinction , and are consequently opposed by all those " who fatten on exclusion . The very comparison . between these men and Tooke , is of Itself a compliment , and famishes the i > est answer to those -who taunt the people ¦ with the incompetence and ignorance of their leaders . " Ignorant , " " destructive , " " bloodthirsty "
as are those leaders , they have fought the hardest political campaign of . which the annals of this country give any record , withont causing the destruction of cue- life , or one particle of propertv . Blood , has flowed , life has been aimed at , propertv has been destroyed , Jbat not by them . Law has been outraged and perverted , the sacred name of justice has been desecrated , and its seat polluted that suffering innocence might be held up as a scarecrow wherewith to terrify weak minds , not by them , bnt by the " bloodthirsty / ' the "ignorant , ' ' the "destructive , " besotted fools of faction , who
Vainly sought , and who still seek , the establishment of factions domination and the ruling power of the few . It is not , howerer , the brave , virtuous , patriots ¦ who hazard personal destruction in the cause of bright , at whom , alone , the shafts of malice and unscrupulous yindictiveness are pointed . The solitary press , which , as a faithful mirror , shadows forth the public mind , and chronieles , with fearlessness , 4 e doings of the times , c » mes in for an especial chare of basiliskal notice .
The crawling wretches who subserve the mvrmidons of power as powder-monkeys , point " out incessantly the Northern Star as that against which - the artfflery of factious power should be ¦ aireet-l .

what would yon have us do t Our style of language is offensive to yon : you Bay that while suohlanguage is tolerated , it is absurd to expect tranquillity . What is , and what has been , our language ? What is , and what has been , its end and purport ! You complain that the people are intemperate and ignorant : we exhort ihem to become sober and wise ; that does not please you . You complain that the people are violent and tumultuous : we advise them to be peaceable ; that does not please you . You complain that the people are irreligious : we tell them to go to church ; that «_ ^^ ^_ . ___ . 3 _< ^ "V __—* — J ^ ^ ~ £ \^ - ~* ,.,. . tf « ^—
does not please yon . You complain that property is in danger : we remind the people that all property is of their own producing , and that they bare , therefore , an interest in preserving it ; that does not please you . What shall we say next , ot how shall we arrange our language , that it may be " tolerated" 1 If it may please you better , we aTe quite willing to adopt thespeech of the Gallant General , who , being surprised in the midst of an oration to his troops , by the approach of the enemy , cried ( pointing with his finger ) " There , lads , is the enemy ; if you don ' t beat them , by G they'll kill you .

COLONEL THOMPSON . We give , elsewhere , the address of this veteran radical to the united trades . We commend it to the attentive perusal of our readers ; especially the last paragraph . Let the people be on thealert to have radical candidates ready for every election that may occur i and let them not merely have the candidates ready , hut let them take care that their " own organisation for the support of tho candidates bo well looked to . We have no hesitation in saying that nearly every Radical candidate through the whole country mav be carried , if the people will but exert
the powers they hare . It is nothing " but their own supineness and want of proper organization which prevents it . Let this be remedied—let committees be instantly appointed through the whole countrylet every city and borough be divided into districtslet canvassers be appointed and an account taken of all the voters who will vote for Radical Candidates . Let lists of these be immediately published , and let such arrangements be instantly made for tho support of those voters , as may 6 hew to all the enemies of the people , that their interest will be consulted by the support of right .

The new Macliine tee some lime ago announced , as in the course of erection , is 7 iow at trork . We shall , theriforj , now be able to supply the Agents much mure promptly , and much more amply . The facilities tchich this new machinery trill give us , in gelling later neirs into the paper we shall arail ourselves of to the ultcrmosL The regularly appointed Correspondents to the Star trill therrfore please to attend to ihe following ins / rucJiom : —
All Reports of Meetings * Notices of Magisterial Hearings , or Neurs of Accidents , Offences , § c , occurring ou the Friday , Saturday , Sunday , and Monday , must be fortcarded to as to reach the Office Jirst thing on Tuesday morning IVhatever requires notice that occurs on Tuesday or Wednesday , to be foncarded to the Office so as to reach here by Thursday morning . Whatever occurs on Thursday , to be foncarded so as to reach tlte Office by Friday
noon . The difficulty of getting off the papers for Scotland SO as to reach on Saturday tnorning , zcill compel us to go to press rather early—so early as to make it imperative that the above regulations be strictly attended to by the Correspondents . We beg also , that they urill send its notices of ALL that transpires teorlh noticing We shall , of course , be guided by circumstances as to what , and Jiow much , of their several communications may be inserted ; but non-insertion must not be made an excuse for not sending afiertcards .
Though ire shall be obliged to go to Press early for the Scotch Papers , we shall give later editions for our readers nearer Leeds j for this reason we require the transmission- of the commitnicaiions of our Correspondents on the days and times above stated . To make tlie " Northern Star" as deserving of support as Late Intelligence can make any Neics paper , we shall in future do tliat which has never set been attempted by any Leeds Paper . We shall regularly publish an edition on
Saturday Morning , containing the London and Provincial Intelligence of Friday ; and in which under the head of " Spirit of the Leeds Press , " tee shall gire whatever may be remarkable , or interesting , in the " sayings and doings , " of our Leeds contemporaries . Several other improvements , both literary and mechanical , will be promptly introduced ; tending to make the "Northern Star "—the people ' s paper —in every respect an organ worth y of the people , from irhom it emanated , vdiom it serves , and by whom it is supported .
We cannot close this notice trithout returning to our readers , subscribers , and agents , our best thanks for the unexampled patience they have evinced in considering the difficulties ire have so long had to contend with—difficulties which have never been surmounted , or attempted to be surmounted , by any other Newspaper—and in receiving on that account , with cheerfulness and satisfaction , many copies of the Star , of a character far different from that which we could have wished to give them ; but which we were unable to do from the fact of being compelled to goto press at an unreasonably early period of the week . Our Machinery was only calculated , at its utm ost stretch , to supply a circulation of
about 20 , 000 , irAife the demand for more than eight months , has been greatly more than double thai number . 77 iis not only obliged us to go to press earl y , to the exclusion of much valuable News , but it also not unfrcquently caused our agents to have much trouble and inconvenience from an irregular and insufficient supply . Every exertion that mortals could make was made , by evert , one , in every department of the paper ; and yet vere ttiey , in spite of all that tee could do often badl y printed , deficient in quantity , and much worse made up than we could hare tcLJ . rd- ; h-it » ir /* is the inflexible a'lichment of iJu : people tv prb ^ ple , K-Jwncvrr they sec it b-oneslly and fearlessly mabtUtined , thm all iliac dhcu ! vaiilaffef , an > f one nf which might

We cannot but feel gratified , with this most unequivocal attestation ,: that our honest effortsand well meant ' endeavours , are duly appreciated by the people .

LEEDS . The Justices of Leeds and the Puhlicans . — Monday was the day appointed for renewing tho licenses of publicans within the borough . The magistrates on the bench were—the Mayor , and Messrs . Grace , Chipham , Nell , Musgrave , Liipton , 1 ' a . wson , and Cadman . The Mayor lectured tlie jolJy bpnifaces inhis : usual excellent style on the high staiUard of morality which they ought to . ad "< iptj-particularlv in acting up to the terms of their licenses , and in closing their houses on Sundays , assuring- them that in default their licenses might be suspended . The number of applicants for now houses were upwards of seventy , of which all but three" wore
refused , on grounds -with Which the public have no means of becoming ' -acquainted ,- ' . this , part of the public business having been transacted in private ; on the Thursday previous—tho three happy exceptions be Mr . liiomas Wilson , ( who has for some time " done the dirty" for the Whigs ) of the Duchess of Kent in Regent-street , Mr . Hurst , Cemetery Tavern , Woodhouse , and Mi . Thackvah , George and Angel , Vicars Croft . It would appear , however ,. that this decision of the justices was premature , or that they did not know their own minds for three days together , for on Monday the two former individuals were informed that their licenses would not be granted till the 20 th irist ., more time being required for consideration . [ We have been informed
that the condition oii which the license was granted to Mr . Thackrah was a stipulation by " my Lords the Queen ' s Justices " that he should pay a mitigated sum of £ 50\—the expense-to ' whiv-h they had been imt in defending the appeal brought against them by Mr . Sadler . If this be so , we can only say it is most disgraceful to the " high contracting parties . " ] The license of Mr . Clough , of the Grove inn , bottom of Kirkgate , was also suspended till the same time , on the ground that he had thought proper to fit up a dram shop on his premises—a h % h crime and misdemeanour in the eyes of-a Whig Mayor . One or twoothersfellnnderdispleasure , also , but their offences not being of a serious nature , were leniently dealt with , and passed over for the present .
Mr . Alderman-Musgrave made a complaint against Mrs . Cullingworth , of the Malt Mill , in Lowerheadrow . She appeared in behalf of her husband , who is confined-to'his bed ; her offence was stated to be , having made iise of language unfit for ears polite , and not having- conducted ^ her house in ' a proper manner ; in iact , to have heard the lamentable talc of woe presented by the justice , one would have thought Mrs , Culliuyworth had been a very disgrace to society . Her reply , however , putua in possession of facts sufficient to account for the complaint . It appears - . that . Mr , Musgrave has some eight or nine houses in the yard where the Malt Mill Inn is situated , to which houses there are no conveniences , and the head and front of the offence of Mr . and Mrs . Cullingworth is a refusal to allow Mr .
Musgrave s tenants the . use of a privy , to which they nave no claim , the property of Mr . Cullingworth being freehold . The Mayor , in a significant manner , told Mrs . Cullingworth she ought to reply to such statements privately , arid lioi bring them before the public , forgetting that it was his colleague who had dragged the matter on to serve a private pique . Really Mr . Musgrave did himself infinite disgrace , and brought" the whole bench of Whi g Justices more into disrepute than most of the fantastic tricks which have been recently euacted . The " whole licensing system is rotten , and needs amendment , and nothing can more effectually , lead to its being placed on a more health )* footing than such circumstances as there : The business was got through about one o ' clock , and their worships then proceeded to . lunch .

labouring class of . this -country from their present state of bondage , but the possession of those natural rights centairied in the People's Charter , namclv Universal .: Suffrage , &c . " Mr .

applause from all present . Mrii James Bedford , of Iveiglilcy , was next called on to move the second resolution , which was . as follows : —'' That the attempt npw making on the part of Ge-verriment to suppress public opiiu ^ n and rational liberty by bnite fprce , is a disgrace to the age iiiwhich ^^/ we live , and merits the execfatiori of every honest man . iThafc this riaecthig therefore pledges itself % \\ ii in defiance of all brute force oppositipnj whether in the shape of soldiers , police , gaolers , hangmen , or a miserable hired press , they will persevere in their exertipns fer the attainment of their just rights , till the principles of the People ' s Charter becoine . ' . . the ^ law of the knd . "—Mr . Bedford , in moving the resolution , commenced in a very ; shrewd and humorous .
manner by observing that Chartisrii was rapidly gaining ground , even in quarters least expected , as to hrs knowledge , there were three perspiis in the meeting who had comeaU the way trom Kcighley tehoiibur a Chartist meeting . They had hitherto , he Was sorry to say , acted only in the low charac ^ ter of spies and lickspittles , but he had no doubt that if they would only pay proper attention , arid beliave themselves , the different speakers wpuld put . spme sound useful knowledge into their heads , and make them ashamed pf their past conduct ; After giving the spies and their employers a good drubbing , to the merriment of all present , Mr . Bedford commenced sliowirig up the WhigsTin their true colours , them
proving by their actions , since they ca / me into ' power , to be a set of the mo $ t refined hypberites and merciless tyrants that ever disgraced the annals of : history . He observed that when attempting tp gain their mock Reform Bill , the people wero represented as everything wise , good , and" great , and were only-withheld frpm their just rights by a bQroughmongering Tory faction . No sooner , Iipweyer , had they gained the object in view , than they kicked down the ladder which had raised them to their undeserved elevatipii : and all recollcctibn of fornier services by the people were . entirely- lost sight of . After descanting : pn the wretched " legislation of the Whijirs , not forgetting the New Pppr Law . Dead body Bill , Police Bill , and various' other
disgusting measures ,, lie concluded ; b y observing that language was \ deficient iri ; dPing full justice ^ to ' the VVhig character , it vras a compound of every thing hj-ppcntical ,. cruel , and contemptible , it was iri fact a collectiori ; of all the > vorst vices in human nature , and he would guarariteej that it ' any niari would shew him a real Whig , he . would showhiiri thedevil in his worst shape , in : which sentitnent the meeting appeared heartily to concur . . Mr . Stowe , of - " Colrie . moved the third resplntipn which was as follows : — "That this meeting syinpathises With the lioble patriots now . suffering in the different dungeoiis of the kingdom for their love of justice , and the hope that the day is , not far distant when their seirvicf 3 will be reAvarded by the : eratitude- of a free tinonlp .
till which time , w » consider piirselves bound to render them all the support in our power . " Mr . Stowe , Who , was appointed , delegate to the General Convention for (^ hie , gave a very able speecli , in the course of which he exhibited to the view of the meeting the conduct pf Honourable Members Avhiie conducting the business of the ¦ ' nation .- ' - This from personal observation he describedas monstrous .. iii the extreme , the house presenting nearly the same appearance as a large tavern filledwithsportingchai-actcrsjdiscussragthe irierits of a prize-fight . oi- a horse-race , to expect anything ; but insolerice and mischief , from such : Honpnrable ; Members was ^ theheightpf absurdity , arid he hoped the time was at hand wheiitliat hpuse would be filled with honest and respectablo
men able and Svillingtp legislate for tlie good of the nation . After alluding to the object of tho resolution in an able manner , Mr . Bairstow of Queen ' s Head , rose to second it arid wa ^ s received with the greatest applause . The well-known eloquence and ability of this speaker ; who is employed as an agita-tmg delegatofor the West-lLiding , ¦ . ¦ requires-noiur-. " tliei- description , and he went ttrouglt a speech of half an hour ' s ; duration ; in a '¦ - ¦ strain of impassioned eloquence which together . with the youth of the ^ speaker , reminded some of the audience ot the young a , nd immortal Emrnet , wheii plcadlng his-eause before Lord Norbury . He observed that tho principles of Radicalism were nptlung - new . but the very same as these which had animated
the . bpsoms ,, and nerved the arms of patriots m all ages ; Itwas the love of justice , arid hatredpf . . tyranny-, that produced a Cato , a Tell , a Wallace , a Hampden , arid : a .

SPAI >\ The conditipn of Dox Carlos seems to have become well nigh desperate . His right arm , the bloody MjLROTO , has given him so much reason to suspect foulplay to be intended him , that he dares not remain near him . A meeting has taken place between Maroto and Espartero , but no definite terms of agreement could be come to . It is very evident that . Maroto ' s purpose is to protract the war until both sides shallbe 50 thoroughly weakened as to aiford him an opportunity pf establishing a military despotism of his own . How he proposes to himself to obtain the consent of Europe does not vet appear .
