CALTON . On Wednesday , the Calton Universal Suffrage Association met in the Infant School Room , Marlborough-street , Mr . David Allan in the chair . The delegate for the DiBtrict having been called upon , after the minutes had been read over , proceeded to give his report of the Tuesday ' s meeting in Glasgow , and comment in severe terms upon the conduct of Pinkerton and others , who wished to bow-the seeds of dissension in the Association , and create a schism ; ~ ' - "' . The Chairman then briefly introduced
Mr . Win . Thomson , editor of the Chartist Circular , and Secretary to the Central Committee , who came forward amid repeated cheers . He felt abashed at the idea having gone abroad that he was that evening to deliver a lecture in that place upon any particular subject . For him , under present mow * stances , to attempt the preparation * orany ffitnglike a lecture woqld be preposterous , for his present avocations and duties were so multifarious that he had not a moment to think of anything else . ¦ ( Hear , hear . ) It had been suggested to him that he might venture a few remarks upon * The presejptr and prospective state of the country . t The ; subject was a most important one , and happily , from its nature , did not require much premeditated studv—and he
would only ask their kind indulgence whilst he endeavoured to give hia rambling ideas thereon . In regard to the present state of the country ^ it was evident that there was something grievously wrong in the Administration of a land which could boast of the most industrious , enterprising , intelligent , and moral population in Europe—in fact , on the face of the globe—a working population more numerous , who wrought harder , and produced more wealth than any other , and they were in a great measure deprived of . the necessaries of hfe- ^ - { hear , hear)—while the artisans of other countries , who wrougbi less , and produced Iosb , had not only the necessaries , but the luxuries of the world in abundance . ( Hear , hear . v There musthe
con-, tended , be something monstrously wrong where the people , who wrought fourteen , fifteen , and sixteen hours a day , were so much worse off than the people of Germany who wrought only about half that time ; or the working people of Switzerland and Franceaye , even degraded Spain and Portugal . The very inquiries of the philosophers of other countries went to affirm that there was a grievous wrong in the system of British administration ; for the most eminent statists of France had agreed that the working population of this country produced annually no less than , £ 600 , 000 , 000 , or . about £ 30 per annum for every man , woman , and child in the state . ( Hear , hear . ) Colquhoun , ofLondon , also in his Statistical Tables of 1812 , sets down the amount of wealth
produced at £ 512 , 000 , 0005 then in 1817 , in consequence of the protraction of the war it was reduced to £ 70 , 000 , 000 . but immediately afterwards , peace being restoied , and attention turned to the spread of mechanical science , the amount has now risen to £ 600 , 000 , 000 . The grand query then was , when so much more wealth was produced than was produced by their neighbours , how did it come that they were so much poorer than their neighbours ! ( Hear * hear . ) Were all the items of useless expenditure taken into account they would soon find an answer ; and even wonder how the sum produced , exorbitant as it was , was adequate to such a system ' of'plunder . ; Take the whole villainous system of taxation , and the cost of lifting these taxes—take £ 50 . 000 . 000
as the rate imposed by the operation of the accursed Corn Laws—take £ 9 , 000 , 000 for an overgrown church in England , a proportionate sum for another in Scotland , and £ 7 , 000 , 000 '' for the support of twenty thousand lawyers- ^ let them go on at that rate and they would soon find they should not have much of the £ 600 , 00 , 000 to carry on the affairs of the state with . Talking of lawyers , by-the-bye , that tribe whose only occupation it was to create dissension for the sake of plunder , reminded him of an anecdote told of an ambassador from Morocco , who came here io 1680 . Upon being shown the court and the courtiers , he was very inquisitive as to the office and duties of every person he came in contact with . At last he « ame to the judges , and
asked wnat nne men these were ? Hewas told they were the king ' s lawyers . And how many may be in the country altogether \ Six hundred was the reply . The Moor shook his head . Why , says he , we never had any lawyers amongst us but one , and as he set the people continually by the ears , my master -had him hanged , and we have been at rest ever Bince . ( Laughter and cheers . ) The ambassador could not see how they could have peace in England two hundred years ago with six hundred lawyers among them ; and he might well wonder , were ie here now , what employment they got in Scotland for eleven thousand of them . ( Hear , hear . ) To return . The great origin of mal-administration was in the few- getting the power of making laws for the many . This began -with the advent of William the Conqueror , whose followers having acquired either by intrigue or the sword large tracts of territory , had appointed b , w-makers over their lands , and challenged the right of any one to di&rate theirenactments .
It would have been ; highly impolitic , nay , in a measure impossible , for a SoTereign who held hie crown by the very same tenure , to have gainsayed them , and leave the origin of that baneful spot in onr constitution , hereditary legislation . These were the law-givers who met with the Monarch for the purpose of forming a constitution , and it was surprising to find so much sagacity evinced in so barbarous an age . They have found themselves successful in taking care of themselves , and settling down in their possessions , and it now behoved them to look after the succession or their children , and see that upon flieir own demise that the estates they had thus acquired should not be divided into or among different families , as would be the case were the inheritance left open to four or five descendants ; and for this purpose they devised the plan of inheritance by primogeniture—leaving the estate full and entire to the eldest son , and which

( Hear , hear . ) Then : the fruits , again , as applied to hereditary legislation . ' The lecitimatized
possessor , or presumptive possessor of property of this doaomination , squanders his early life in debauchery of tfie grossest and most sensuar kind , and after he has \ pent hia last shilling , for which he has run in debt—no danger of the estate you know : —the moment he has dissipated his last farthing , heroines home a shattered , infirm , old man , and eetskbout regulating the affairs of his country as a 'legislator . ( Laughter and shame . ) Well , in the cdurse of nafllre , the debauchee dies . Hia son , the Houorouble Francis Augustus Frederick , with some five or six names more attached , succeeds ; gets into an estate perfectly free from debt , while the old vagabond ' s debts remain unpaid , and then , as the newspapers have it , "leads to the altar "; the Lady
Arabella Georgiana Wilhelmina Sophia Thingumbob - —daughter )—slips her off to the ; continent to spend the honeyTmobn-r-yisits the barhivals at Venice : and Rome- ^ gets a fomilyT-gets in ; debt—comes home and dies , leaving his eldest son to play the same game , while all Tiis tradesmen , tailors , &c ., most look to the entail for their unpaid bills , unless they hate taken their profit as they went along . These were some of the blessings of the laws of primogeniture and entail ; laws more characteristic of a Bandiitiof vagabonds , than which ever ever disgraced a nation , or stood in tire annals of time . ( Loud cbiers . ) And from whence sprung hereditary legislation , the great parent of their present misgovernment . But while such care was taken for the
provision of the eldest son , was nothing to be done tj&r the -junior brauches of the family ? 6 b . yes-j so Bop ^ as father has seen that his heir is all right , andflW sits down a law-making yi the Lords , witnl&e counting-iiouse of the House of Commons bel * rlbiKH ! 41 ftngnter)—and the Uwe ho sets about malftigla ; places for hia sons , and pensions for his ^ daupiterr f The second son , the honourable so and so , ^ sent to school a whUejand g ists * good fat bytopri ^ -may be York or Cwi terbury—« ay fifteen pr ^ wenty ; thousand pounds a year for that .

( Loud laughter . ) This waa the principal work of a hereditary legislator . The inventing of places for nobility without propeniy&and leaving his offspring pensioned paupers onTjHie country for life . ( Hear , hear . ) Thesei anuses in ^ gtslature were sanctioned by the ser y jlity of the Conjni ^ ns' House , which , from the time of Sir Robert Walpole , who , two hundred years ago , had said / "Give me £ 200 , 000 and I'll out purchase the Commons , " had been nothing but a counting-house .
as he had said before , to the Lords . Up to the time of Henry VI ., the Comtuons had stood aB the component-part of the Government between the King an < Lth < $ Lords . Henry VI . in his turn may be gai < T ; to h * fcfetaken all j the Government to himself , while H ^ jrVlIL , who , although one of the greatest tynuilg everbreatb . edj was ^ ^ principally so with the XfMpttnj , gave th > people all the liberty they now enjoy at the cost , of £ 52 , 000 , 000 a year for nothing . ( Hear , hear . ) In James I . ' stime wo had noAitional debt . During the reigns of the Charleses thMfciwas no debt . The commotions ensuing upon ; thea < S ) l ^(^ rfJan ^ Il . caused a debt of il 600 , 000 . which world H ^ iJeen moire had the Commons only known the ^ if of taxation , when in came Walpole with birmoitty and bought the house , as is testified by old r » cor ^ , when the price of a member was fixed at £ 9 . * lO 3 . «~( hear , hear , and laughter )—aud then
by a H £ us # 6 f CommoiiB rendered subservient to the Loiids . began the system of taxation and debt . WalpoK " was a Whig , and so to the Whiga are we ind ^ tia ^ fbr this sys tem , which within the last thirty-years had caused mpre money to be spent , and moVe blood to bo shed than would in any 1 , ( KK ) years of Eng ish hiBtory ; and a systemwhich would continue until the vbice of making the laws was vesteji in the peopled ( Cheers . ) Such a state of thitfgs could not long continue . Did any one expect that the hard wrought peasant or mechanic was to sit p iswefully down and piy id . or 2 d . out of his shilling for the support of debauched voiuptuous-Hessi ¦ ¦ ¦ No ! And if they Svere to ; pay for all a nations wants , weald they not have a voice in the dispbs 41 of theit own 1 ( Cttters . ) v If Sriy ; ntan had aright ^ to dictate laws , surely it wtgj Him " who Was w ^ 6 b ft > wrned by them . If any ' m&n had a right to pWj ^> taohey , surely he whoproducedit had this
best . TWimTtM fliJtnrnntnnitiiTn nf mrntnrkthjffliinnnfT could secure for themselves that hallo Wed right ; but so long as they rested supine in their position , they might rest assured that the monopoly of centuries would bo tenaciously adhered tpvUlear , hoar . ) Did they ever suppose that a pampered aristocracy would , of their own spontaneous accord , make laws for the benefit of the people that a House of . Commons , composed of scions of nobility , and grasping landowners , would legislate for the present constituency ? Never , JHie ten pounder might wheedle and turn up the whites of his eyes in vain to the haughty aristocrat , ' but he Would never have his share in the Government till the people were represented . ( Cheers . ) If , then they had the capability
to understand and calculate upon all the wrongs that oppress them—if they , had the mind to devise the only remedy for the evil- ^ -if they knew how- to value those rights which God and man hid conferred upon them—they would never deviate from their course till they had attained their object , for he would maintain , ho matter how it might be attempted to be smoothed down , or glossed over , that there neither would be -peace'nor . happiness in this land till the people had in Parliament a full , fair , and free representation . Mr . Thomson sat down amid long-continued cheers . The Chairman was sure that they all concurred with him , in acknowledging the truth of what had fallen from Mr . Thomson , and : directed their
attention to one of the leading , features of the movement , the approaching trials tor treason ; . The Secretary would read them an address from the Central Committee on that subject , which he trusted would be responded ; to . ; ; Mr . Dickson then read an address in favour of Mr . John Frost . There was now , ^ and there always had been , government plots for the per pose of dividing the people when they wished to unite for the ^ redress of their wrongs , and to throw off their chains of bondage . The goyerumeut plot just now was on the score of religion . ( Hear , hear . ) That very night there was ; a great Protestant meeting in Glasgow , the commencement of a
crusade against the Catholics ., ( Hear ;) Although he might differ conscientiously in religious matters with uie Catholics , still'he . couli go to death with ; them in the cause of liberty- ^^ cheers)—and : found amongst that body the firmest ,, noblest ^ bestV Of Chartists . ( Loud cheers . ) After calling upon the Chartists to avoid ; the trap thus laid , for them , Mr . D . announced a concert and ball , on New Year ' s evening , the proceeds to go to the families of the English prisoners , and for agitating purposes in their own quarter . Thanks being given by acclamation to Mr . Thomson , the meeting separated .
Bridgeton . —This interesting association met on Wednesday last , the president , Mr . John Rodger , in the chair . A number of passages from popular writers upon the principles of the Charter as advocated in days of yore , and some agreeable remarks thereon having been made by various members ^ the association proceeded to the routine of business , and voted from their funds £ 4 in advance to the defence fund of Frost and others . Final committee arrangements were then entered into with regard to the concert to be held on Friday , ; and after a highly instructive meeting , the association adjourned .
Glasgow . —On Thursday , the Central Board met in their rooms , Princes-street . Mr . Moir , chairman . Present , Messrs . Thomson , Ross , Pattison , Gillespie , Rodger and O'Niel . After the reading of the miinntes , the Chairman announced the receipt of an anonymous letter signed "The Editor of the Western Star ? ' in which the ; writer designated him or her self to be no Chartist , but being of opinion that the late movement in Wales would add much to Chartist movements and numerical increase , and begged to
enclose five shillings as a donation to the defence fund , so as to keep down mischief . ( Applause : ) The general tenor of the communication was an advice to look upon the whole aa ? , plot . : A balance sheet for the intromissions of the last three months was then read , when there appeared a debit account to ' the treasurer of £ 14 ' Oa . "l ^ d ., jbut which was satisfactorily explained from the circumstance of upwards of £ 44 expenses having jbeeh incurred by the sittings of the delegates meeting in Dove-hill and contingencies thereon . - ¦ '• • : ¦ . •" .., . ¦ ' " . ;¦ .
