TO THE WORKING CLASSES . OF ! SHEFFIELD . Mt FaicnM , —1 audreas 1 Mb letter to jou for two reasons—the ono of a public , the other of a personal , nature . I address you publicly , I » ee * us 8 yon now stand in the TOy foreground of agitation—because von h&ve evinced great courage , prudence , and forbearance ; and , consequently , are deserving of public thants . Sheffield is now the Birmingham of Yorkshire-: Sheffield had a long sleep ,, tut " has arisen refreshed from her dumber . Such arc my public reasons for addressing you :, those of a personal nature arise from the kindness and affection -which joa hare ever manifested towards myself ; and more especially , upon my recent visit as candidate for the representation of your great OOttufcr . "¦ TO THE WORKING CLASSES . OF ' SHEFFIELD . / " - '
My object , upon the pretest occasion , is-topohit # ut our immediate position and prospects . I have Tery frequently told the people of this country that the existence of three political parties ia Incompatible with the existence of order . Let -as , therefore , consider the respective strength of the three parties of the state ; and see which of them is most likely to be driven from the political field , and how / Sieir destruction is to be accomplished . - | |
The "Wiigs , being in power , -we -will take them frst . They represent no party—they represen ; noj principle—they cannot hold a i-ingle public meeting— j they canaot carry a single measure irithout the ] assistance of the Tories . The House of Commons j is supposed to act asa correctiTe upon monarchical j ambition ; . and yet ihe present Government , conJ mandingthe present House , represents the will of that one person only upon whose ambition it should act as a check . If anything was meant by the Reform Bill , it meant destruction of Torvism and | | |
• omplete annihilation of that faction ; and let - as . ^ on-ader W- far it has" answered the promised end , and " why it has failed in its object . If the House ' of Commons was & fair representation eTen of the electoral -will , the "Whigs could not hold" office ; and for this simple reason- ~ £ hey do not represent two-£ fil * s of &e electoral body . When the present registration shall hare been perfected , we shall haTe had eight registrations since the passing of the Reform BilL A man of sense would naturally eav , that if the right of the master should be ri .-vised
every year , the tenure of the servant should be re-¦ sised also . However , ire wfll contrast things as they stand under the present system . In 1637 Williak IV . died , and it was in the power of the GoTernment to haTe continued the then-existing House of Commons for six months after the demise of the Xing . This constitutional step would hare matured the electors of 1836 . and would nave thereby ¦
furnished the most complete representation that existing circumstances admitted of . They felt conscious , however , that perfidy ,. treachery , and deceit had excited popular disgust againer' them , and therefore they found it necessary to disfranchise the registered electors from a dread of popular hatred . The present House of Commons , therefore , after the present years registration shall be complete , will be an unconstitutional bodv . holding power by
usurpation , and . only representing , the "Hill of the Sovereign . The vast changes of property , the transfer of estates , and the thousands of intellectual houses which axe annually built , make it absolutely necessary , as long as property is the standard of representation , that they should be represented . The change -which has taken place in seten years in public opinion should » is » ^ t » e represented . New inventions , innovations , improvements , and changes
should likewise be represented ; but they are aot . Tie Whigs then stand thus as regards the constituent Tx > dy . The electors of 1832 , 1833 , 1854 , and 1835 , have voted—4 h « electors of 1 . , 1837 , 1838 , and 1839 , have not voted , while the Irish electors have died a natural death . That great « h * nges would take place npon a general election , f o man can doubt ; for we find the fact nnblnshingly told in the newspapers , that t&e transfer of & laree
estate in the county of Durham , from Whig to Tory hands , will throw the representation of that county also into the hands of the Tory .- This Is only oni of ten thousand instances . Sach is the preseni condition of the " WMg 3 a « regards the electoral hoAv . . ' The Tories , accustomed to use the old machinen
of abuse for the preservation of dominion , found rery little difference between the management of anti- j Reform and Reform elections . Property beingtheonly i AingTqwesfflited ^ uidtliatpaitypossessmgtliegreatei share , which , added to their greater watchfhlness ofj and attention to , the registrations , has made them 1 much more than a match for the Whigs . We learn this fact from ; the result of the recent single eleo- j tions , where the Tories have either triumphed , or !
made -the victory of the Whigs an omen of coming ' defeat . It is admitted now , npon all hands , that a j general election wrald give to the Tories a larger , ) a more venomous , a more thnrch-loving , and life- ] destroying majority than they lave commanded in the House of Commons within the memory of man . i The Tories , who could not , -with , the House of Lords i well disposed to them , stop the progress of Reform in 1832 , could Tepeal the Heform Bill in 1830 . In j this contest 1 leave our party eut of the question altogether , and merely show , that as regarded the Reform constituencies , the Bill intended for the
destruction of ToiyLnn has but increased its power , and added to its strength . If we want another proof of reaction in the mind of the electors , we have only to look to the annual corporation returns , and there . we find Toryism carrying away the annual honours from the Whig normal scholars . In corporate elections , which are annual , the Tories , without the slightest assistance from the unrepresented classes , are gaining strength at the rate of twenty-five per cent , per annum ; and all that they reqnire to obtain an uninterrupted possession of these preparatory BeminarieB of corruption is a
majority of the House of Commons . - " I mention these things to eho-sr that . the Whigs -have been-beaten by their own m « asnrea , and I write to you to counsel you and to caution yon against a single step which may relieve the Whigs of the odium , and throw the disgrace upon our shoulders . If we were , io join the Tories , or give them the slightest countenance , it would not , on £ he one hand , moderate their enmity against popnlar liberty , while , on the other hand , it irould furnish & pretext to the Whigs , that Badical unrepresented support , rather than the imperfection of the Whig Reform BQl had established
the ascendancy of their enemies .. If the Tories beat the Whigs with their own measure , tbo-Whig 3 in opposition will not be less craving after pelf , and in less than two months' probation npon the bleak ade of the Treasury , all the Tiolcnce of the perKi-• ated QaitistSTronldfade into utter insignificance , compared with the hungry howlings of the revolutionary crew . Then once again shall we see the block flag—the monarch ' s drooping head—and the execntipner ' g Woody axe demanding a renewal of the Whig lease of Downing-street , and then shall we take care ihat « very man of twenty-one years of age , diallWa- party io the bargain . When you look back , and consider that we have never held our
real position in society . till now , but have always been used to grace the Whig pageant , one moment's reflection will tell you that standing alone , tke sly party who dares to meet—the only party t ? ho dares to fpeak—the only party who defies persecution , that we are < m » ef . 'the . two parties whose power must he acknowledged . Upon the next GeneralElectio - the Whigscea » eto exist asaparty ; and npon the consequent following agitation the Tories will degenerate into a faction , and a very few J of the most wealthy will remain as a memento upon j the opposition benches , whose only business will he j to gratify their own ambition , by endeavouring to affright the representative * of the people "with the bloody ghost of Toryism .
Men of Sheffield—The game is now in our hanus ; lhe taD is at our foot—if we bus play and kick item zs our enemies dessrre , The next General Ebetion should fnraisli from 400 to * C 0 jtadicals .

BR 1 DGET 0 N . The great out-door meeting , intended to have been held last Saturday , was held this week in Amistreet . Shortly after five o ' clock the committee took then-places upon the platform , and Air . P . Gunn was called to the chair by acclamation , who opened the bimnesi in a few pertinent remarks upon the pr&sent aspect of the country generally , the late changes m the Cabinet , and the prospects of a dear winter , for even the very herrings were rising , as the farmers would rather purchase a barrel of thorn as a marl . As this was a meeting intended principall y for the edification of the sbopocracy , lie would ; introduce Mr . M . Cnllen , from the Glasgow Association , who would address them
Mr . Cclles was received with cheers . He regretted much the absence of his colleagues , Moir and Arlarian ' e , men much more capable of doing justice to their cause than ie was : yet , in their absence , humble as were his efforta , he would endeavour to defend the Charter . Although all talked of the Qiarter and of Chartism , but very few understood the basis upon which it waa founded , and hence it waa necessary to elucidate , if possible ,- its nature and designs . It was necessary , in the first place , lor the workmg classes to know thit , riot ' whbstaiMk ing all the attoinpts to redact the luxuries of life amongst themselves , that their position was retro-^ admg , and where Tvas the reason to b « -fonhd" 1 In the Charter , which told them ofl their want of organisation , of the necessity of setting themselves
m array , shoulder to shoulder , in Jetting- Government know of the appalling nature of their grievances . They needed not to go from their own homes to see the . industrious , leaders of former days ' " grey hairs go down with sorrow to the grave , " for the peopled apathy in a cause for which they had so long laboured , and for which they had made so many appeals in vain . They wanted but organisation , and with tjrganisatioii perseverance ; and to wipe away every stain that might beattempted to be amxed upon their objects , let temperance reign through all their actions , so as no recrimination could be cast . ( Cheers . ) li vras little wonder that their aim aud their principles had been misapprehended , fcr they had the denunciations of the pulpit ai , d the malignity of the press , and the machinations
of Government all in array agaicst them , lluch had been said upon the ticklish points of moral and physical means—physical means had . i ; ever been considered amorg the Cliartists of Glasgow sol » ng as other means were available ; but when all other means were exhausted what other mean 3 had they left ? ( Cheers . ) Yet no leader ef the Ghartist 3 , no advocate of " the Charter had ever advocated the overthrow of the present Government by phvacal force ; the rs-: ari to it had always been attended vritL the most direful consequences " ; for as sure as it Tvasresoned to , as snrefolJowed amilitary despotism ; b . it vrLenever a people were determined to ameliorate xhvW rondnion , no tyrant , however despotic—no government , however lyrat . riical , could resist them : and for this amelioration he called upon them to
organise , and if jeaioup of each other , aud ignorant of the real state of thing 3 , one were banished from the camp , he eonld venture to predict that ia twelve months the Charter . would be the law of the land . ( Cheers . ) This vrai a matter not confined exclusively to the operatives—all classes were interested , and particularly the commercial . The only way of aifecting them wa « through the medium of their pockets , and wheii this effect was once produced , they would have the same sympathetic sigh and crocodile tear that was given to the haud-loom weavers when they were reduced to their present position . When the labouring population of Britain had sunk in universal ruiu , would the commercial world not feel the consequence ? ( True . ) The population of labourers in Britain produced five times as
much in proportion to their numbers aa those of the Continent , aad yot their cottages and clothi * g were twenty times above that of the continental workman ; and were such a state of things to continue , after individuals had for their Bakes and for their cause braved the pulpit , the press , therbar . and the senate ? If they allowed by their apathy such ihinga to continue , they deserved to remain in slavery . ( Cheers . ) If the principles of the Ciiartiste were wrong , let the people put them down—if- they were right , why not support them ? tCheers . ) Agitate and let Scotland still agitate—for agitation was their safe-guard . ( Cheers . ) I think a gentleman in the meeting ha 3 said that the agitation had been already put down . He could assure them that in Scotland it vra 3 on the increase—( cheers)—aud that increase
was merel y becanse the Charter wa 3 based Upon the great principles of Pjuce , Law and OitDEfi . Tie virulent opposition given to these . principles would create a stimulus , whieh Government , be it ever so powerful , -would find it impossible to put down . He was not there as a mercenary . but as apoor labourer in the good cause , iu the aosence of others ; and , thongh taunts of the meanest kind , insinuations of the lowest order had been used against the present agitation , yet he was there to _ aver , and he could be borue out by iucontestible evidence in whit lie had said , that no mercenary motive could induce , no temporal benefit could command the services-of himself the humblest , or others the great leaders of the movement , to embark in an unrighteous cause . Fair play alone was what-was wanted ; Let those vrho opposed the Chartists join the ranks of their opponents , and in the event kneel to kiss the foot that kicked them—the hand that laid it heavilv upon
them . ( Ciieers . ) For his own part , he never should yield to despotism neither in the workshop , nor to the authorities of the crown , nor the creatures of the county—and would maintain that the man who obeyed a bad law -ivpnld never break a good one . ( Cheers . ) The Birmingham riots had been made a handle of against the Chartists . The Chartists of Scotland had nothing in common with the chief rioters ; they had nothing in common with the rioters at all ; they , the Ciiarusts of Scotland , viriicd peace , law , and order . ( Cheers . ) Air . Cullcn concluded an excellent speech , by recommending abstinence from all violent language or iuiiaiaiua . tt > ry haraugues , and gave a powerful exhortation iu favour of the proposed Wco'rfy Circular . Thai circular would expiiiln ta tbeiu , to ilie populatioa of Great Britaiii at lr . rge , iu language not to be mis-H _ dei-siood , tbtL- mutive- ! , tlieir principles , their imteatioas .

The Rev . II , Caldkr , in iseconvliiig the resolutioh i said that no 3 iad observed a number moving away at the close of Mr . Cullen ' s address . Perhaps their time or their avocations did not perniit them to wait , but if they . did , surely if they caredMiot for their own slavery , they mi ^ ht mind that of their posterity . ( Cheers . ) He trusted that those remaining would mark the conduct of those who had retired , and by not imitatiug their example when their brethren were met together for mutual ^ 0 ( 1 , prevent their posterity from falling into worse than Itugtjian serhsm . ( Cheers . ) In seconding the ablo . TCinarks ° v a * 0 Tmer speaker , he would concur with him in the fact that many have heard cf , : bnt fe ^ v knew the rearmeatiing of the Charter . It was time that they shouldread , learn , and iawardly digest .
