BL _ NC __ STEB . ( From our oton Correspen 3 erit . J On Monday evening last , a pnblio meeting was convened in Carpenters' Hall , bv the anti-Corn Law party , for the purpose , as stated , of © emsiderinsr the best mean * rfrepftaliaR the Corn Laws—of abtainby ? compensation ftom the aristocracy , and to call a meetin * © f debates * f workin * men from all parts of thekiBgdom , to be held in Manchester on New Yeart Day , to form plans to repeal the Cora Laws . Colonel Thompson was annouBeed to be present ; -whether this was » triok to raise tie wind we are sot able to say : however , he was not present , nor w * 4 may tetter © f apology read . , " ,, »_ - * Ob entering tbe tail , about eight o ' eloeV ; we forad ihe-bodv of the hall , the gallery , and the platform
completely crammed . In the body of the hall was a most desperate straggle . One of thebladgeon-men , it appeared , had struck a Chartist , when a fight ensued , the result of which , was , that the bludgeonman got a sound thrashing . While this was going on , - we observed , about forty sticks , pokers , and bludgeons , of various dimensions , brandishing over the people ' s heads ; yet seeing that the Chartists were too powerful , they desisted . u Prepare to meet yonr God" Finig&n sefssd a brass candlestick off the table , and went down among the party , and when tbe bustle was over , he returned . to the platform . . Mr . Witts , Social Missionary , addressed the audience on the impropriety of men coming for the purpose of nsmg sticks instead of argument , and reasoned them into a degree of order .
Mr . WiXKxus vas called to the chair , and Messrs . Bailey and Hague , the one a Chartist and the other a Corn Law repealer , were appointed unlpires to decide any dispute which might arise . Mr . Warrkn was introduced to move the first resolndon , in doing which , he ooenpied about twenty minutes . He advanced nothing bat what has been laid before the public a thousand times ; and as many times refuted and shown to the world to bo mere delusion sad humbug . He , forsooth , was as sincere a Chartist as any amongst them , but he saw no reason , kind soul , why his brother Chartists should not hive a large loaf first . He saw no reason why be should be deprived of his food , because he had no
voice m sending mea to Parliament to make lawB by which they were to be governed . # Fimqan was called upon to second the resolution . He rambled from one thing to another—wishing the people to go for that which would immediately and permanently benefit them—denounced the aristocracy and the Corn Laws for robbing the working classes , bat he very sagaciously omitted to say anything of the robberies committed by the cotton lords . He next attacked O'Brien—exhorted the audience not to be led away by speakers , and sat down by seconding the resolution . The Chairman then read the addresses and resolutions , after which ,
Mr . Leach erne forward amid tremendous cheering . He was very glad that 6 uch silence and attention had been observed , while the gentlemen who had preceded him were speaking . He then exploded every argument advanced by the Repealers , and repudiated the avowed object of these men , who were exporting their sympathy abroad and neglected objects under their noses at home—of men travelling to Russia-, Prussia , and the burning sands of Africa , to find people who wanted clothing , whilst thousands
in their own country were walking the streets nearly naked , and proved , from statistical documents , that in proportion as trade had increased the wages of the workmen had decreased ; adverted to the conduct of the League at Stockport , in making such enormous reductions ; showed how machinery operated against the interest of the working classes ; and that whilst the Corn Laws had taken i . 20 , 000 , 000 , the reduction in wages had been as much as £ 120 , 000 , 000 . He hoped the gentlemen of the press would notice that . ( Several voices cried out Northern
Star . ) He said that fact had not been in the Star yet , bat it should be . ( Loud cheers . ) At a printing establishment in the town there were twenty-six men then doing as much by the aid of machinery as 530 could print with hand blocks twenty years ago ; aa improvement had been discovered which enabled them to print any number of colours by machinery , and one man and a boy were doing as much work as twenty men could do only nine months ago . The speaker brought a number of fact ? , figures , and dates to bear upon his position , which upset everrthiog
advanced by his opponents , and concluded by asking the following question , and morjng an amendment in favour of the Charter . Question : How was it , if tiie Corn Laws would give an impetus to trade , and thus enhance wages , that from the year 1793 to 1815 , when there were no Corn Law ? , and when the Eaglish manufacturers had a supremacy of trade over the world , when they had cone to compete with them , the trade increased fivefold when there was so Corn Laws , and yet wages came do wa in that period one half \ In retiring he was loudly cheered .
Some confusion here took place betwixt the parties on the platform . A few of the Irishmen wanted to get at Mr . Rankin , who rose to second the amendment . Such was the confusion and uproar , that we could scarcely hear a word he said . Tae Irishmen were embittered against Rankin for moving a vote of censure upon the conduct of Daniel CP Con tell , a short time since in Salford . Mr . Aclaxd , the great gun of the league , being present , came forward at the request of the Chairman , to answer the question of Mr . Leach . But , he , instead of fairly and honestly answering the question , went into a long rambling speech quite irrelevant to the point at issue ; and continued ,
not--fri&hstandicg the repeated cries of " question , " to shuffle , equivocate , aad shrink from it- The people were pattest to a fault in thus being humbugged . It was not until sear eleven o ' clock , when-he had spoken upwards ef half an hour , that he could be prevailed Dpon , even by bis owa party , to answer the question . This was a scheme of the Corn Law party to weary the people , and get our party to leave , so that they might carry their resolution . When he did come to it , he put words iato Leach ' s mouth he never xn&de use of , and then began to answer it in his own way . Mr . Leach rose and told him he was wrong , and he knew it himself .
Mr . Aclasd then made another attempt , but put entirely a wrong constriction on the words . The meeting saw the evasive conduct of Acland , and pretty well told him of it . Mr . Leach then put the question again . Aclaxd never attempted to touch the subject . The meeting became impatient , and repeated cries were made for the amendment ; a skirmish took place ; and after brandishing of sticks , and a deal of confusion , all was quiet again . Aclaxd went on a ^ ain un' -il interrupted by crie 3 of " time to go home , put the amendment . " At length the people were exasperated ; some times cheers were given for the Charter , followed bv Bhouts and stamping by the Repealers . Acland all this time attempting to address the meeting until not a word could be heard .
At this time , the Chadrmau cams stamping over our books , knocking down our ink bottles , &c . followed by several others . Daley , one of the Corn Law PUpealers , began grumbling at our reporter for reporting Acland ' a speech . Fixi g an , in order to excite his countrymen against him , said he was the biggest liar that , ever put pen to paper . The Repoetke , in reply , called him a villain , for wishing his countrymen to break his , the reporter ' s
head . j During thi 3 time Aclakd went on with his shout- j ing to the top of his voice . i FunOiS then be ^ jan to abuse Lbach , calling i him a rascal , &c . < fec . In justice to Warren , we j must say , thai , had it sot been for him , oar j reporter would have had a most excellent eha , n&s of ! getting his cranium cracked . Thi 3 noise and eon- j fusion continued till near eleven o ' clock . The re- ! porters all rose from their seats , and put their books ; into their pockets , as though apprehensive of a row . I An Irishman under the platform drew kis blndgeon i from under his coat , and thi 3 was the signal for the ' onslaught . About forty or fifty bludgeons were I shortly brandishing in the body of the Hall in a I
cluster . They then commenced playing away with their suck 3 on big , liuie , young , and old , hitting right and left , and cleared all before them . Here , then , were the Chartists unarmed against those coldblooded ferocious madmen . The Irishmen Vaving possession , many were runing out of the Hall , unt il some one rushed to the door , and prevented them going out . Whilst this dreadful and bloody work was going on , our reporter asked Warren , Daly , Acland and Yeald—( the latter was the man who took the Chartist hustings at the Stephenson ' s Square butchery)—whether it was not their party , to which Acland replied it was , and he denounced it . Yeald said he would never attend another meeting if that would be their conduct . Mr . Leach seemed very
much put about at seeing-his fellow creatures so cruelly used , cried shame . Finnig&n and Big Mike said it was our party . Mr . Leech said if they would go and seise any one of them , he would appear , and swear to them the next day . But they would not do that . The lying villains knew who had engaged the foolish men to do such dirty work . Every sensible man upon the platform cried shame . It was not till the Chartists had been attacked three times , that they offered any resistance ; bat , finding their lives were at stake , they must fight , or be killed . A young clever Baa , with a short round jacket , a
mechanic , had received a blow at the commence ment of the meeting ; two Irishmen went to him again , for the purpose of beating him again . He met them both like a man , having nothing but his fists , knocked them both down , took their sticks from them , threw them over * our heads on to the platform , and -then kicked them till they run head first into the crowd . The Irishmen before had triumphantl y brandished tfceir Bbilelahp , The Charwst « then knocked down the forms , jumped npon the under part , broke off the bearers , and furnished themselves with strips of wood . They then dosed in npon the blndgeon men , and separated them . A good stand-up fight then commenced , which lasted .

hard fighting , for about ten minutes , they took all the sticks of the Irishmen , and gave them a right good thrashing , drove all the blackguard portion entirely out of the room , and then with an enthusiastic and vociferous shout , gave hurrah for the Charter , " and requested the chairman to pat the amendment . The Corn Law part ; seeing their party , the cowardly blndgeon men , completely routes , and the Chartists in possession of the room , although they said nothing while their party were masters , refused to put the amendment . Griffin then went to the front of the
platform , and said , as the chairman did not seem disposed to put the amendment and motion , seeing be was likely to be out-voted , fie would do it for him . ( Tremendous cheering . } The amendment was then pot , and a forest of hands was held up in its favour , which nearly paralysed the Corn Law party , and was followed by long-continued cheering ; after which had subsided- and ailenco restored he put the motion , not a hand was held up for it in the body of the hall nor the gallery , and only about a dozen on the platform .
Mr . Watts , social missionary , then announced that the meeting was dissolred . Repeated cries were made for Griffin and Leach to come home . The Chartists then escorted their leaden out of the room . When we got oat , the hall' was surrounded by polieemen , and we met two ot&er reinforcements on their way thither , As we were going home , Captain Sleigh and other officers , were walking about The Chartist procession broke up at the end of Qamtt-road , with an understanding that every man who loved his causa , ehould be ' at the Town-Hall on the following evening , Tnesday . Whilst the fighting was going on , a person came to the front of the platform , and told our reporter that he had heard a man say tie would stick Finnigan ; our reporter conveyed that information to him , and just ag be , Griffin , was going into the Temperance Hotel , Finnigan came up to him , and thanked him for bis conduct In telling him , and expressed himself glad that he had got off with his life .
Btfora closing this report we wish to be understood that we dont include amongst these rude men who go to meetings for the purpose of breaking people's heads , the intelligent Irishmen . There were scores present who were vexed to see their poor deluded countrymen made tools of for such purposes . The Repealers of the Union passed a resolution denouncing such conduct , on Sunday . Taej are not members of the Repeal Association who act thus , they an men who would not give a penny for the salvation of their country ; all that such care about is a glass of whiskey and a stick . Bad as these men are , the men who set them on are worse . Had the CfeartisU kept away from the meeting there would not have been more than 150 present , and at any time of the meeting there were five to one , nay ten to one in five or * f the amendment ; surely this ought to teach the Repealers s lesson . They expected to have made a great deal of this meeting , as all the satellites of the Whig press were present , and we should have had
it blazed through the country in the name of the inhabitants of Manchester . They must know that it is impossible to carry any motion unltss they either pack their meeting , call it in the day time , oi hire men to intimidate the people . The carrying a resolution in the open Jiarket-plaee at Stockpoit in favour of liberty , and the meeting on Monday evening , ought to show them that they are dead beat . They must have found thai the Chartists can not only beat them in fair discussion , but when pressed they can fight a bit . The lads of Manchester wish not to fall out with any party , they lament that such disgraceful disturbances should take place , yet those who call them cowards are lying villains , for they- fuught like men till they had taken all the sticks and got possession of the room , and obtained order ; never attempted revenge , passtd their amendment , gave three cheers for O'Connor , the Slur , the Charter , and Frost , Wiliiama , aad . Jones , aad dispersed quietly .

THE DELEGATES REPRESENTING THE WEST OK ENGLAND , && , TO THEIR POLITICAL BRETHREN . Oppbessed Fellow Coumbtiietc , —Having been delegated to meet in Bath for the purpose of considering the best means of carrying out the recommendations made by the Executive , we beg to point your particular attention to the resolutions agreed to iy cs , after mature deliberation , and which appeared in the NorlJiern Star of the 23 d instant We cali for your co-operation to carry these important resolutions into effect Bo you de « ire to obtain justice through the enactment of the Charter—aid as in throating that great measure of right upon the present corrupt legislature . We hishly approve the pians propounded
by the Executive Council , because they are such u appeal to reason rather than to passion , and are sure to enlist under our banner all who are truly patriotic , and willing to join in the onward movement of the industrious but Eufft-ring millions . On your exertions at the present moment everything depends—the Petition must be signed by four millions of persons , all arrived at years of discretion . It will' require a sacrifice on the part of those who are best prepared and most willing to m : iSe it , to obtain this enormous number of bignaturts—bu ; it must bs done . The Convention mu . > t be snppurird—backed op by the approving efforts of the millions—and tho people mtut be taught to attach ana importance to this great and intelligent assembly . If we desire to be emancipated from slavery , there things must be effected .
This is the path by which we are to arrive at liberty ; if we are fuuVhearted and irresolute , we shall be defeated , and never arrive at the glorious end . The task is easy , the duty pleasing , the cause just , and the reward happictss and prosperity . Are not these sufficient iEcentiTcS to action ? la there an honest man who will not aid u »? Then , brethren , let us eommencs the work at once . Aid ua ta procure lecturers for cui counties , whose duty i t sha ll be to enlighten the minds of those who are ignorant of our principles ; let ua disseminate knowledge by the distribution of political tracts , and Chartist periodicals ; let as carry the National Petition from door to door , and in every public thoroughfare let sheets be lain for signatures ; begin to collect funds for the forthcoming Convention ; in &h . jrt , do ? ovr duii , victory is oars !
Does any one ask what good can be derrred from the proposed proceedings—we answer " : Public opinion icitt be created in our favour—opinion which carries with it resolution and determination ; a revolution of misd and of principle will be effected ; the apathetic will be aroused ; the ignorant instructed ; And the no just terrified . Imagine for a moment the following : — In LondoD , a Convention of forty hones * , intelligent , patriotic men , assembling daily , and , throoch the press , addressing the wholo population of the kingdom , by speeches eloquent , argumentative , and persuasive : the masses , pressed down by dire necessity , eagetly catching every sentence uttered by men they believe to be labouring to promote universal good . The public mind
drawn to and attention rivetted npon , the presentation of the National Petition . Notice cf the presentation , and a motion upon it , given to the Hooxe of Commons . The day arrives—a hugu mass approaches St . ( Stephen's —a dense multitude accompanies it , and load and reiterated are their cheers . The repeated peals of vociferous exaltation without strike the ears of the mock representatives of the people—a whisper runs throngb " both sides" of the House— " the people are advancing to demand their rights ! " The nnwidely mass ha * arrived at the portals of " the Hoose . " Borne on the shoulders of thirty or forty sturdy men , is an immense roll of paper , batded with large hoops of iron—it cannot enter—the doors are opened wide—but not wide enough for its admission—tike hoops are unbonded—the petition unrolled , sad mites of paper , representing
millions of people ; are gradually dragged into the House , amidst the joy of the people—the cheers of their friends—and the coostercatian of their enemies . Silence restored , the petition is read—with its maoy < toagned truths—alcmd in <• the House , ' , The number of petitioners is deckred to be four millions . The honest , though small section of " the House , " have rallied to support the people's demands . Eloquent appeals are made—bnt the strongest argument will be the huge petition on the floor . The dishonest , and the knavish , will have deserted their seats—the scene will cave overpowered them—and tha battle vrfll be foaght by & fourth put cf the legislative assembly . A motion , in favoar of the People's Charter is made—fear wiU have done its woit And thtugh , perhaps , the People's Charter may tot- at . that moment become the lair , iis justice will be admitted by the diiisisn upcsb ibs

GLOMOTJS TRIUMPH OF THE CHARTISTS . PUBLIC MEETINa CALLED BY THE LEEDS PA ^ fAMENTARY RJSPOBM ASSOCIATION . On Monday evening , a public meeting , called by the Leeds Reform Association , ( atom the Fox and Goose € lab ) , was held in the large room of the Commercial Building 8 , ostensibly to promote a union aU-classes of Reformers—really to gall the Chartists , if possible , by getting their assistance in passing anti-Corn Law resolutions . The "lads , " however , were too far north , and though no effort was made to get them together , they assembled in full force , upset the " Antis , " and passed a resolution in favour of the whole Charter . Manr hich sounding names were irat forth' bv the
promoters of the meeting , and amongst the test Col . Thompson , Mr . Roebuck , the Bath M . P ., a Mr . C . J . Symona , and a Mr . Curtis , from America . But aU would not do . " Othello ' s occupation ' s gone 1 " The room was crowded to excess . Mr . James Gabtii Mabshall , the President of the Association , was called to the chair . The Chairman said the meeting had been convened by the Leeds Parliamentary Reform Association for the purpose of affording an opportunity to a few friends of the principles of free trade , and of the extension of the suffrage , of addressing them on some important points , with respect to the best means of forwarding the principles of Reform . The object , he believed , was to lay before the meeting a statement
of the real position of the people at present , and of the means they possessed for carrying into effect measures of Reform , and particularly to draw attention to the necessity for a cordial union of all classes of reformers . After some other explanatory observations ; he said he would npt detain them longer than to make an apology for Mr . Roebuck , who was prevented by indisposition from attending . ( Cries of" He dare not come f M he ' s a traitor ; " why did he runaway on Sharman Crawford ' s motion 1 " ) Col . Thompson having been called upon by the Chairman , then rose to address the meeting , and was received with oheerB . He said as they had placed him in front he would briefly Btate his opinions . He suspected that there was not one man
iu ten in that meeting who did not agree in the proposition , that the defeots in the representation of the people were the sources of the evils under whioh the country was suffering . He did not mean that they were the cause of men slipping down in the street , or being sent to the infirmary ; these were unavoidable evils . He then went to show what constituted a Government , which he contended ought to rest . solely on the representation of the people , for whose happiness alone they ought to govern , ana not merely for the happiness of a select few . All classes were called upon to support the Government , and to obey the lawa of the country ; all classes , therefore , ought to have an equal power in the making of tbe laws . As a protection iu the exercise of this
power , the poor man ought to have the Ballot , that he might exercise his power in as independent manner . The aristocracy , in all their transactions , were careful for themselves , but when the people asked for the same protection , it was denied them . He did not deny that the eminent merchant and manufacturer had , and ought to have , considerable influence over the men whom he used well and kindly ; but no man ought to demand , because he had a share of the representation , that the bulk of the people should have none at all . It was like a joint stock company ; different members might have different proportions of shares in it , but he thought no one ever heard of a joint stock company where the shares of some of the company were
nothing . ( Hear , hear . ) He thought all would agree that the representation wanted amending , and he advised them not to think it was a hopeless business , which it might be , if only the poor were engaged in it . There were men of wealth and talent who * saw the necessity of a change , and he exhorted them not to refuse the assistance of such men , but to go on with those who would go on with them . One result of defective representation was the restriction upon industry , which amounted to the demand of a greater amount of the time and labour of the operative for a given quantity of food , to thosa who had that food at their disposal . He stood there the advocate for improvement in the representation . ( Loud
cheers . ) He knew no man who had gone further than he had done . ( Continued cheers ) There was a document called the Charter , which he believed to be nothing but a fair embodiment of those prinoiples of justice for which great and good men in these latter times had fought and contested . ( Prolonged cheering ) it contained , he believed , fire points , which were agreed on before the document was drawn up . It was his good fortune to be one of eight or ten members of Parliament concerned in drawing up that document . ( Cheers . ) He had never denied it—he had never shrunk from is—he had never disavowed tho name , and never been afraid to bo called a Chartist . ( Hear , hear , and cries of " Bravo , " and loud cheers . ) But there was a
difference of opinion concerning the way in which that Charter should be advocated . They were told there was only one Charter , only one Chartism , and only one Way of pushing the Charter . ( Cries of ** That ' s true . ") Ho did not think that those who held that opinion would be able to prevent a Urge body of men from taking another way with respect to the Charter . ( Hear , hear . ) He thought the best way to gain the Charter was by uniting on those great and pressing evils with the numbers of powerful men who were willing to go with them . ( Hear . ) He did not ask any man or body of men to give up their own objects . What he wanted to eubmit to that meeting was , whether it would not be best on the whole , admitting differences of opinion , but not quarrelling about them , to let each go his own way , if he could , and welcome . ( Hear , hear . . ) Why should not one party say to another , if you can put down or make an
impression on the evil , in God ' s name go on . If we can put down or make an impression on the evil , in Godsnamo do not hinder us . ( Cheers . ) It was a fair and reasonable proposal . This was the proposal whioh he came to make . He left it for them to consider whether thsre was not something like rational sense and good reason in it , and whether there were not many of them who would not be inclined to adopt that course of union , or rather of nonresistance to one another , which he recommended . ( Tho Colonel eat down with applause . ) Mr . Haher Stansfeld , in moving the first resolution , said he would not detain them long ; his health would not permit him to address them . He hoped the proceedings of the meeting would be productive of good , ia promoting that union which was so desirable . The resolution was— " That this meeting views the defective state of the representation as thv source of the suffering under which the country labours . "
Mr . John Speed , ( an operative , ) seconded the resolution . Mr . Jellinger Symokds supported the resolution . He believed there was no safety in this conntry , nor any chance of restoring the national prosperity , without the peopio wore invested with a full and fair eharo in the representation . ( Loud cheers . ) The landowners had returned the present House of Commons , and so long as they were permitted to have a monopoly in the legislation , so long would the interests of tho people be sacrificed to the cupidity of a wealthy and selfish aristocracy . If , however , the working classes expected to have their grievances redressed , they mu 3 t be united among themselves . Union was strength—division was weakness . Ho
had lately visited Switzerland , where the representation was a perfect democracy . The machinery was in full operation , and at tho same time , there was the most cofdial union between masters and men . This state of things wa 3 productive of the greatest possible benefit to the country , and he did not believe there was a mare prosperous psople to be found than those of Switzerland , where , it should bo borne in mind , Universal Suffrage was the law of the land . ( Loud cheers . ) The speaker , after thus paving the way , went to the question of the Corn Law ? , making it evident that he had received a retaining fee fcn that point . He was of opinioh that machinery did not injure the working man : he get . however , some pretty intelligible hints
that working men did not agree with him . The Chairman then put the resolution to the meeting , and it Was carried with one dissentient . Dr . Smiles moved the next resolution , as follows : —• " That the confiscation of the property of the industrious olasseSj inflicted by the existing Corn Laws , is the most prominent of the practical grievances arising from the actual condition of the elective franchise . " The reading of this resolution called forth the disapprobation of the meeting , which was expressed in mingled groans , cheers , and various exclamations , The majority evidently discovered the jesuistical nature of the proceedings , and it was at once determined that , as the League had thus attempted to slide out of their opinion as expressed in
resolution 1 , the meeting wonld endeavour to bring them back to the real question before them . Dr . Smiles spoke amidst great interruption . He contended that the Corn Lawa were really one of the greatest " practical" grievances under which the country laboured , and he would maintain this despite opposition from any man , whether he called bimsolf Whig , Radical , or Chartist . The labour of the working classes had been confiscated by the Corn Laws ; and by the property qualification , which was the results of the Corn Laws , the landlords secured to themselves-the monopoly of law-making . Mr . Nicholi-s , s n operative , ( a member , we believe , of the Fox and Goose Club , ) seconded the resolution . -
Mr . Joseph Lees replied to the " practical" views of Dr . Smiles , and was surprised he had not exhibited more practice in hie resolution . The first

resolution admitted that the source of all the evils of the conntry was in defective representation , and bad Dr . Smiles been , a practical map , as he professed to be , he wooZd Jaava . onoe , after the souroe had been admitted , have come boldly out with the remedy . ( Cheers . ) , It was of no use endeavouring to lop off only a defective branch ; they most go at < mee to tha root , u the only practical means of remedy . He was a Chartlrt root and branch—( shouts of Bravo ; lad , goon , " )—and theughhe had not hitherto pnbliely advocated the Charter yet his opinions were so well known as opt to be misunderstood ^ ( Great cheers . ) They had seen the Corn Law agitation ' eommeneed two years ago , and commmenoed just at the time when the Charter was
about to take its winning and widening way in the conntry . ( Load cheers . ) There were tery great suspicions at the time whether the Corn Lav agitation was not done for the purpose of blinking the poor man from getting the franchise . ( Loud cries of "No , no , " from the Foxes . ) Now , after two years of agitation , where -were they ! If they had supported the Charter for that time , would Peel have dared to dismiss the Parliament for five months . ( Shouts of " No , no , "/ and loud cheers . ) With such aiinion of agitation they might have had an army thar neither Whigs nor Tories could hare stood against . ( Tremendous cheering . ) That
meeting ought to consider in what way they could best obtain their rights . They had tried the Corn Law dodge , and found ii would not answer . ( Cheers . ) The household association would not come to the Chartists , because they Would not give up a few lodgers . There was nothing they ought to stick at , they should say , at once , this association will go the whole length as a Chartist Association . ( Tremendous cheering . ) He concluded by moving " That this meeting adopt the whole principles of the Charter . " ( Tremendous cheers , which continued for some time , and threw the whole "League " nearly into convulsions . )
Mr . Andrew Gardneb was received with loud cheers by the great body of the meeting , and , in seconding the motioa , said he thought the storm haS now commenced , but , whatever political opinions he might profess , he hoped every man would be allowed a fair hearing . This was the second act of the Marshall's mill meeting ; that was got up to unite all classes of Reformers , and Colonel Thompson was then brought because they thought be could wheedle the / Chartists well ; with only two exceptions , every . speaker then present avowed themselves' for the Charter , and declared that the object of their Association was to unite the middle and lower olasses . ( Hear , hew . ) Had the Household Suffrage succeeded ? ( Shouts of "No . no . ")
-Why did their worthy friend , the Chairman , hold back ! Why did not their Association come out at once for the whole Charter ? Why should not they all unite on an equality of rights ! ( Great cheering . ) They agreed that the Charter was good , but denied the praticability of getting it . ( Cries of We can get it . " ) He said it was possible to get it , but they would get nothing less than the Charter , because the Chartists would not agitate for any mortal thing less than the Charter . ( Tremendous cheering . ) He considered Col . Thompson the best man amongst the middle classes , and he believed no one had been worse treated by the Whig party than Colonel Thompson had been . He had avowed himself a Chartist , and he hoped he would abide by it . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) There was one gentleman who should have been there , who was not there . Where was Mr . Roebuck 1 ( Cheere , uproar , and cries of
M He dare not come ! " ) He was a Universal Suffrage man , and he had acted a very treasonable part against the people . He thought he was afraid to come , something like another of their friends , he meant Dan . ( Loud shouts of "No , no . " ) He ought to make a tour through the country , and submit his conduct to a vote of censure or of thanks in every town . ( Laughter . ) He supported neither Whigs nor Tories , for he denounced both . ( Cheers . ) If the Reform Association were sincere in their object of union , let them lay down a good basis of union on which the Chartists could stand as well as themselves . ( Great cheering , and cries of "No Surrender . ") He begged leave to second the amendment . ( Tremendous cheers , which lasted for some time . ) Previous to patting the resolution , the Chaibxan said , as Mr . Curtis , from the United States , was present , he thought they had better perhaps hear him .
Mr . Curtis , who , we understand is from Ohio , then stood forward and made a long speech , which had scarcely a reportablo point in it . It is not known where the League have got hold of him . We " calculate" he wants to travel at an easy rate to himself through England , and has found the League sufficiently gullible to pay his expences . He came oat , at the close of his address , with an exhortation to temperance . Mr . Westlake ( a Chartist , ) was loudly cheered ; and replied to the fallacies of Mr . Curtis .
Mr . R . F . Less said , they were met there that night , not to speak as to particular grievances , but to ask on what principles they wore to unite in order to get all their wrongs redressed . ( Loud cheers ) What said Col . Thompson f He Baid that , because the manufacturing and wealthy classes , a part of tho aristocracy , were suffering under the ruin of monopoly laws , therefore they were willing to unite them . But what was the object of resolution second ! To ask them to assist in destroying those laws ; but he would ask , when those laws were destroyed , did not the interest of the manufacturing aristocrats cease to be identified with their interests ! ( Loud cheers . ) Then he Would ask them , calmly , and Forioualy , what pledge had they , when the Cork
Laws were destroyed and the pressure removed from such gentlemen as their chairman ( hisses ) , that they would go along with them to the accomplishment of the ultimate objects 1 ( Repeated cheers . ) They might then ask , where are those gentlemen V and he was afraid that Echo would answer , Where ! ( Laughter . ) That was a reason why they should keep their interests identified with that of the manufacturers . Sever that interest and they severed the principle of union . ( Loud cheers . ) They asked them to give their voices , and declare in Court and Parliament that the great practical grievance was the Corn Laws . Their reply was , Give us our rights , our votes , and we will destroy that and every other grievance . ( Enthusiastic cheering . ) If
they were rational enough to give their voices , they were rational enough to give their votes . ( Repealed cheers . ) Thoi'gh they might assist them to destroy the Corn Laws in two or three years , when that was done they might whistle for the suffrage for fifty . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Curtis said tho instrument by which class legislation had deprived them of their suffrage , was the Corn Laws . He asked them how it happened , when they made the Corn Laws . How could it be then the instrument , when the greatest of practical grievances was perpetrated without it ! He was a thoroughgoing Radical , a Chartist , if they liked the name . He was a Benthamite , and a follower of Jesus Chritt , and ho maintained that the practical axiom of all
life was " Do unto others as you would have them do unto you . " ( Loud cheers . ) He supported the amendment . The same national effort by which they could wring from thopowerfularistocracy of thooountry , a repeal of the Corn Laws , which raised the rents , which supplied them in idleness , would accomplish all . ( Enthusiastic cheering . ) Mr . Thos Pliijt rose under greatly excited feelings ,, and first endeavoured to bully , then to coax the meeting out of an expression of their real opinion . He spoke amidst great interruption , and made a very proper Whig exhibition . The Chairman then pat the amendment and the original resolution to the meeting , when there was a tremendous majority in favour of the amendment .
TniB , however , did not satisfy the "League , " and a proposition was made that the two parties should divide themselves into two sections , those in favour of the amendment taking that side of the room to the right of the Chairman , and those in favour of the original resolution taking the other side . This was acceded to after some demur , and the two parties having taken their respective positions , the number in favour of the amendment appeared to be more than four to one as compared with those in favour of the original resolution ; in fact , the numbers were so overpowered that there could not by any possibility be any mistake . The Chairman , however , when he had got the meeting divided , again went through the ceremony of taking a show of hands , and this having satisfied him , he declared tha amendment carried .
This announcement was received with tremendous cheering j clapping of hands , &c , which lasted for some minutes , during which the League looked " unutterable things . " Dr . Smiles then moved , and Mr . Andrew Gabdener seconded , a vote of thanks to Col . Thompson , which was carried unanimously , and which the Colonel acknowledged . A vote of thanks was also given to the Chairman , and three cheers having been given for O'Connor , for the Charter , and for Frost , Williams , and Jones , the meeting broke up about ten o ' clock .
