NOTTINGHAM GREAT ANTI-CORN LAW MEETING . - As soon as the sliding scale proposed by Sir R . Peei was known here gnat consternation prevailed amongst the repalers ; and immediately preparations commenced for holding a public meeting to express the opinions of the repealers respecting Sir R . Peel ' s Corn Law measure ; placards were posted throughout the town and snrrouuoiag Tillages , announcing a meeting ia the Markt . t-p ~ . a 2 e , on Monday , at two o ' clock . Every tiing was done in order to give effect to the meeting . The manufacturers were requested to stop all their factories ; dissecting ministers used invectives to induce their flocks to swell the great demonstration , and in consequence of these rast preparations , soao timid Chartists
apprehended a defeat in the evert of any interference on their part . A special meeting of the leading friends * a 3 summoned , and after ma-. ure delibera ^ tion it was agreed that a deputation should wait upon the Corn Law committee of management , to ascertain their intentions , should the Crarasi leaders wish to address the meeting , or if they would be allowed on tbeir platform . Mr . Barber and . Mr . Fawkes had an interview with the committee , on Monday morning , by whom they wore receired in a eourtsous manner , though U \ ras t / vident that they anticipated the ChariLts would more amendments } they agreed to allow a p ] : t ? 3 on ibeir hustings to Chartist leaders , and supplied the deputation w ' th twenty tickets of admission . The p ' a-Jbrm erected , was suffioien ; to hold a hundred persons .
. At a few minutes before two o ' clock , Messr 3 . Bairstow , of Leicester ; Lirniey , of Manchester ; Drop&haw , of Diwsbury ; Hutchinson , of Newark- ; Harrison , Taylor , aud Kuascil , &f Nottingham , proceeded from { Co Democratic Chapel , accompanied by the Council , and numerous other Ciarti ^ ts ,. into tho Market-place , where many thousands were coDgre gated ; a complete lice was leadily made by the people up to lie platiorm . A few * minutes past t . fo . Lord RanciiSi , of Bunny
Park , ascended the hustings , and was unanimously appoinved chairman . He addressed the meeting for about twenty minute en the general distress throughout the country , laying considerable stress on the evil of corn sad provision laws , at the same time admitting that class legislation was at the root of the evil ; and fiaaliy declared hims-jif as good a Chartist as aiy person on thct platform ; at which a pretty good cheer was ral-sd . His Lordship also said , that un ! eE 3 every speaker wa 3 allow ed a fair hearing he would vacate : hs cba ; r .
Mr . Bxggs ihen came 'forward 10 propose the first resolution . He euicred into an . ar- ^ raa ^ utauve speech on the macuoid evils which hid resulted to the working class frciu the enactment of i-he abominable Corn Laws , but acknowledged that cia ^ s legislation mtiss he abolished era we could have * a cheap Govern srnt . 1 st . ** Tnas i ' r . 13 meeting receives the proposed alterations in tie Corn Laws , brought forward by her Majesty ' ^ GoTLiDzn-nt , whh ihe inmost indignation and ' eo ^ i-mr-i . Th :-j conceive ii to ba a co : d and heart ; 55 s zEoekery cf ihe sufferings cf the-people , proving that mea who could offer so flagrant an insult to en on : Ta ~ c-d eonn : ry , 3 re morally incapacitated to discharge the high functions of-leg : slaung for a great empire , aad entirely unworthy of public confidence ; " which was seconded by Sir . Gill , whose speech we ceiad noi hear , Ire m the low touein which it was delivered .
Mr . Knight came forward to propose the next resolution , bu ; was received with such strong marks of disapprobation , thas we could not gatner one word ofhispprcch . It appears that this ^ endeman has ever been , a s : roug advocate of the Poor Law Amendment Act , aud on fcais account he was mat by the stubborn reproaches of honest and virtuous men and women . Tne resolution was : — 2 . " That this meeting is firmly of opinion , that with a goveTcmeu ; constituted like the present , all farther petkionijg would be vain , and only subject the petitioners to additional insult and nx-re
aggravating injury , considers , therefore , that the salvat-on of the country depends upon the energy and unity of the psopls ; and it pledges useif to a persevering agitation , unul the iniquitous law is repealed . This resclunon was seconded by an in * cniou 5 speech from Mr . Joseph Burbag ? -, a talented working man , a Cbanist and a Corn Law repeakr combined . He has been at considerable pains of late to persuade the advocates 0 ; the whole Charter and the Corn Law Rpcalers to affiaigainau ' , no doubt from quite pure motives ; bni when ws sea men continaaUy in tha company of Whig tools verily it is ecassanly to ac ; eircumspecily .
_ The repealers intended proposing a third resolution ; hut , finding the Charris s ready with an amendment , they withdraw their ' s aliogether ; and Mr . J . B . Bairstow then advanced to the fioni of the platform , and was received with tremendous applaese , whieh confirmed fi = r some seconds , when"he proposed the following as aa original resolution .: — Resolved , " That this meeting i 3 of opinion-that the Corn Laws were enacted by an irresponsible Governmeni ;; and that , were they repealed under existing circumstances , there would be no guarantee that other equally cruel and oppressire laws . h : mld not be enacted . We , therefore , have no confidence in any agitation thai has not for it 3 object the enactment of ihe six points of the document , called the People ' s Charier , which will immediately secure not only the repeal of the Corn Laws , but every other bad law .
The mere reading of the latter resolution literally electrified the meeting , and the cheers lasted some minutes . Mr . Baisstow then commenced his address to an assemblage of at least 20 , 000 , and wa 3 listened to for an hour with marked aiieniion . At the
conclusion , Mr . Deaji Tatlor was repeatedly and loudly called upoc . Hs ciine forward amid loud cheering and waving of hands to second the resolution ,. He commenced by observing that this day ho witnessed what he and others had long foretold , and what the Chartists generally had long expscled , namely , the Corn Law Repealers , professing themselves Chartists . This meeting was called to shew the contempt they held towards what they termed the cold aad relentless condust of Sir R . Peel . They might fbd fault wish Sir Robert if they pleased , ba ; he for one was perfectly satisfied with what he had done ; no doubt they were surprised , but he believed Sir Robert Peel had done right-, and why !—simply
because the proposal 01 his nsw new sliding scaie had converted all the repealers to Chartism according to their own confessions , no : even excepting his Lordship who occupied the cbair . Sir Robert Feel hai driven them to truth againss their will , and he did not hesitata in iayiug that , if Sir Robert Peel had . brought forward a fixed duty , instead of a sliding scale , we should not have had the professions of Cnartism we have had to day . My Lord Rancliffe would not have been chairman , neither would that meeting have been called together ; thus then Sir Robert had done well . He ( Mr . T . ) onl y hoped that the gentlemen around him were sincere in their professions of justice , for he could assure them that whatever they may think either of a new sliding
scale , or a fixed daty , —that there was a something which must be altered and which would not be changed until the six points of the People ' s Charter became the law of the iaud , and rendered Government responsible to the people . How was it with the two thousand in Liverpool who went out every morning without breaktast ; theirs was a practical sliding scale , for thej had to slide breakfast into dinner ; and when without dinner , both into tea ^ and when without tea , into tupper ; but when without supper , breakfast , dinner , tea and supper were all slided into the corner upon the pallet of straw , and covered with an old coal sack . This was the sliding scale thai wanted alteration , and nothing but the Charter would put the people in a position to remove it . He was a Corn Law Repealer ; so were all Chartists , but it must be repealed by a People ' s Parliament : if the Corn Laws were repealed wuuld
that K&vrantee that we should have the Charter?—( loud cries of No , no . " )—but if we had the Charter , we both could and would repeal the corn and all other equally infqiitous Iaw 3 . They must this day shew that they loved justice , full perfect justice , and not suffer themselves to be led away by tne pompous or complete , or general suffrage . He would conclude by asking the Repealers if a separate agitation t > T concentration of public opinion , must be raised for the removal of each bad law , how long would it require to repeal the whole of them , 14 , 600 in number f Yenly , this was step by step : taking twentj years for the time of an agitation . It would require 230 , 000 years to reform the laws of this country , and then the Government wonld have the power to enact them over again , or others equally bad . He concluded by exhorting the people to stand bj their Charter , and the redemption of their country aad of the world was sure .
Mr . "Liskey then rose to support the resolution He E&id that he knew that manv Cora Law repealers were followers of Malthus , ana say the land" is . not capable of maintaining the people ; and that the population has a constant tendency to increase beyond the means of subsistence ; though it is a fact undeniable that during the Ja 3 t eighty years the land that has been enclosed is 6 , 835 , 540 acres , sufficient of itself to grow food for the whole people of this country . But in this way we are oppressed on all tides , the parson robs us in the shape of tithes , the Government in the shape of taxes , the landlord in file Bhape of rents- the shopkeeper in the shape of
profits , the banktrs in the shape of rag money , the Blasters in the shape of low wages , and Mr . Moses , the broker and jobber , by speculation , eachendea-Touring to have the power himself of defrauding you The present is a straggle between landlords and BUBofaeturers . Working men united , would , ere long , wield a power that wonld prevent either of the parties from acts of plunder and oppression . In conclusion , Mr . Linney strongly exhorted every Cbanist to go straight from that meeting peaoeably to their homes ; the men of Nottingham had regularly Ncttinghamized the repealers that day , for not a single hand had been held up against the motion , which be felt so prond ( 9 lupport . The meeting was not » Cora Law

meeting , but in spite of themselves was converted into a splendid demonstration of Chartism , as a precursor to O'Connor ' s visit , Mr . L . retired amid cheers and wavine of hands . The Chaishan then came forward and returned thanks for-the very able manner in which they had supported him that day , and then dismissed the meeting . The Corn Law repealers spent the evening in burning and shooting the effigy of Sir Robert Peel . Very different condnet to this was pursued by the Chartists : as many as could gain admittance attended the Democratic Chapel , to hear addresses from Messrs Linney , Bairstow , and Taylor . Other parties retired , we are informed , to commence a Co-operative Store , at the Rancliffo Arms ; and other 3 to a . convivial meeting at theGeorge on Horseback ; the Corn Law repealers to ruminate on their future prosptcts of success .

SAIiPOSD . —The Charter asd No Surrendsb I—i ) uring the week large placards have been posted in this place , convening a public mect ' -ng of the inhabitants , to take into consideration the proposed scheme of Sir Robert Peel on the Corn Laws . The meeting was caiied for six o ' clock , but long before that time hundreds were wending their way to the Town Hall from every part of the borough , -and hundreds had to go away , not being able to gain admission , it having got wind that the middle classes cf Silford were about to join the Chartists , and go at onca fur the whole of the Charter / Shortly after six o ' clock the Boroughreeve was called to the chair , and caiied upon a middle-class mart to move the first resoltJtJoD , condemning the schemo of Sir Robert , which was seconded by another of the same class . After a short address from each , and when the Chairman was about to put it for the adoption
of the meetitg , Mr . Raskin , a Chartist , rose and stated tiiat he wished to move an amendment ; on being permitted , he did so in an able , well-timed , and argumentative address , which produced a powerful impression on the minds of his hearers . Mr . Sixsmith seconded it in a calm , eloquent , and energetic speech , for which he received universal applause . The Chairman rose for the purpose of taking the senss of the meeting on the amendment and motion , but was prevented by the solicitation of two or threa of his friends around him , who begged of the Chartists to withdraw it , and give them the honour and privilege of having one which would go for every poius of the Charter , and thus mee * the wishes of and please boih parties , as unity was their motto The meeting however determined to vote for neither until they properly understood what was about to be done . Vehement cries were made for the
amendment from every part of the ro ^ rn , wnich was at this time crammed to almost Buffocatiou . In order to satisfy the aud : erce , Mr . Rankin said that as the gentlemen had intimated to him that they themselves had formed a resolution , which contained the points of tha Charier , he would withdraw the amendment , resolving to enforce it if their resolution did not please him . The motion was put and canied by a large majority . The Ccairman next introduced Mr . Dracup , who on coming forward was greeted with loud cheering , and after making a s ' acrt , pithy , and sensible speech read and moved the following resolution , which was received , on the meeting hearing it read , with long , loud , and vociferous cheers . Mr . D . 6 aid he was no new convert : he was well acquainted with Henry Hunt , who wLhed for Universal Suffrage and repeal of the Corn Laws . He himself believed that the
Corn Laws nuver could be repealed without the power was given to the people . Seconded by Mr . Rauk . n , and carried unanimously , and the Chairman pledged himself that it should be embodied in the petition . ** Resolved , that this meeting , having lost all conndence in the House of Commons as at present constitute ? , and claiming a guarantee for good government for the future , and feeling conviuoed that do tif . ciaal remedy will be applied till the powtr ba lodged in : he people , do respectfully but firmly demand that the franchise be forthwith extended to every man who is twenty-one yean of age , of sound mind and unstained by crime , together with the priviiedge of voting b y ballot and annual elections , tqnal electoral districts , the payment ., of members , and no property qualification . " Several other resolutions were carried , and some very sirong speeches made , and the meeting broke up after thanking the chairman , highly gratified .
Public jujsezlvg at Stockport . —Thb Charter Triumphant . —At-eording to announcement a public meeting , convened by the Mayor , was held in the Market Piacs , on Wednesday morning , the people being compelled to adjourn thither from the Court Room , it consequence of t \ a . \ building , though very large , not being capable of containing half what had ass mbled . Two resolutions having been spoken to , and put to the meeting , and carried without the ltast dissent . The Kev . Mr . Baker came forward , and iu a powerful speech , which riveitsd the attention of his hearers , and gave universal satisfaction , moved the following resolution , which , on being read to ihc thousands assembled , was greeted with loud , rapiurcus , and long continued cheering , which
J ? . sted for some time , followed by wavmg of hats and handkercnief ? , ana hurrahs : — That this meet ing having lost all confidence in the House of Commons , as at present constiiuted , and claiming good Government for the future , and feeling convinced that no effectual remedy will be applied till the power be lodged in the people , do respectfully , but firmly demand that the franchise be forthwith extended to every man who is twenty-one years of a ^ e , of' sound mind and unstained by crime , together with the privilege of Voting by Ballot and Annnal Ejections , Electoral Districts , the Payment of Members , and No-property Qualification . " Mr . Garke in a humonrous , sarcastic , and powerful address , seconded it . Messrs Griffin , Campbell , Social
missionary , Ro = tron , of Ratcl ; ffe , and the Birmingham Blac-Ksciith ( Mr . John Hoekings , ) supported it in in manly , forcible , determined , and energetic speeches , and were listened to with marked attention ; several times giving three cheers for the Charter . On the motion being put , it was carried amid applause which rent the air . Several other resolutiots were carried , which condemned the Corn Laws and other monopolies ; the best feeling prevailed throughout the leBgthy meeting . As the Mayor had to leave before the business was gone through , the Rev . Mr . Smith was elected to fill the chair . Mr . Gnfiin moved a vote of thanks to both Chairmen , seconded by Mr . Mitchell , and carried by acclammation , and three cheers were then given for the Charter , and the people dispersed .
BRADFORD . —Cou . ncil Meeting . —On Monday evbning iast , the leading friend 3 held their usual meeting at the North Tavern , when the sum o f £ 2 was vo ; ed to the Executive , and £ 1 to the Westnd ' mg treasurer ; it was also resolved that the local Ieciurer 3 get their credentials from their respective localities , previous to the making of the new plan , on Sunday evening next , without which their names will not be placed on the plan . The meeting then adjourned to Tuesday evening at eight o ' clock . Mr . Beilfield again brought some blacking which was paid for , aad Is . was given to the treasurer , being one-twelfth of his receipts to the Executive . A deputation of six persons was appointed to wait upon the Corn Law repealers , to make arrangements for the meeting on Tnursday , agreeable to their request .
Great Horto>\— On Shrove Tuesday , the Chartists of this place sat down to an excellent tea in their school room , Upper Green , to the number of fifty . The room was tastefully decorated with evergreens and ornamented with portraits . Patriotic ttasts and sentiments were given and responded , to . A quadrille band was in attendance , whish greatly enlivened the crowded assembly . Songs , gleet * , recitations , &c were kept up till midnight . Makningham . —Mr . Edwards lectured twice on Sunday last . Daisy Hill . —The Chartists of this locality met on Sunday last , and Mr . Jennings , of Bradford addressed them . Staxm-ngley . —Mr . Flinn delivered two excellent lectures at this place last Sunday afternoon and evening , to a very numerous audience .
Dewsburv . —Mr . Thomas Ibbotson , of Bradford , lecinrea here on Wednesday , and gave much satisfaction . Many signatures were obtained to the Petition . HUDDEBSFIELD . —Sig > al Defeat 0 ? the Whigs . —On Tuesday evening a mo 3 t crowded meeiing was held in the Philosophical Hall , for the purpose of considering the Government measure relative to the Cora Laws . A requisition bearing three hundred signatures , bad been presented to the constable , who complied with it , and fixed the day mentioned for the meeting at half-past six . It being market day many stayed to be present , and the anti-Corn Law League Btrained every serve to muster strong on the occasion . But their
quondam friends , the Chartists , were determined to "have a voice" in the meeting also , and they took the necessary steps for that purpose , knowing that the Whigs would , if possible , ride rough-shod over them . Tney therefore sounded the alarm , calling upon their men to be at their posts in good time . The place was consequently crowded to excess , and hundreds could not gain admittance , Mr . Leach , the constable , was called to the chair , but declined the honour , and therefore Wm . Brook , Esq ., was voted into the office , who , in his opening addres , gave a significant hint that they were not met to argue the question of the Corn Laws , it was
rather a time for action . He was followed bj Mr . Schwann , who compared the sliding scale to a gate with three padlocks ; by knocking off two only and leaving on one , it left the matter as bid as ever , and he therefore hoped they would force the gate . Mr . Swan , auctioneer , next spoke , and made a sad blunder , from the effects of which he never recovored himself—Baying , that they had met to express their abhorrence of th « measure proposed by Lord John Russell , but said he meant Sir Robert Peel . Some one in the meeting moved that they should not allow auctioneers to speak in their company . The first resolution in condemnation of Peel's measure ww carried almost unanimoujly . William

Willans , Esq . next addressed the meeting in a ^ Tery temperate speech of considerable length , and con eluded by a motion for a petition to Parliament pledging the meatiug never to desist from agitation until thr Cora LawB were repealed . He was followed by a man named Thornton , who declared that the C <> rn Laws prevented thousands from getting married ; an observation which produced much laughter . Mr . Clayton , the Chartist , gave the Whigs a moat severe oastigation and ably exposed their hollow pretences to humanity . He concluded by proposing an amendment in favour of the Charter , which was seconded by Mr . Candy . The Chairman faen put the amendment , when there evidently appeared a majority of three to trro in its favour . The Chairman and all his party were
aghast at the sight , they having imagined that the Chartists were with them . Th 8 Chairman called for a second show of ' hands , and it was clear the amendment had a majority of one-third over the original motion , nevertheless the impartial Chairman declared the original motion to be carried , t ' aough some of his own friends admitted that he was in error . After thia specimen of fair dealing the Chartists would not allow another speaker to proceed , although two of the delegates to London had to speak . Mr . Robinson , one of the delegates , was hooted down , and he immediately proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman . So ended tho Huddersfield anti- Corn Law demonstration . —Bradford Herald .

BRADFORD . —Opposition to the New Poos Law , at Bradford . —The Bradford Anti-Poor Law Committee held their weekly meeting on Monday evening last , at the New Inn , Bradford , at which place it had been unanimously agreed before that a Petition should be got up from every township in the Bradford Uuion against the New Poor Law . The committee have to report that the petitions are going on most satisfactorily . A petition has also been got up by the ministers of religion . IiEi BS . —Mr ; Baines ' s Popularity . —At a large meeting of the inhabitants of Leeds , holden in tne Court House , which was crammed to suffocation , on Thursday last , Mr . Edward Baines , a proprietor and senior editor of the Leeds Mercury , ex-M . P .
for tho borough , and a worshipful Whig-justipe , had one of the most mortifying testimonies of public estimation that we ever heard of falling to tho lot of any man . This man , so long and so well known , was proposed and seconded as chairman of this crowded meeting of his townsman . No rival candidate was started—no amendment was proposed upon the resolution—but the question simply put to the meeting by his own friends , "That Edward Baines , Esq ., was a fit and proper person to preside over twis meeting , " vras negatived by a majority of at Jeast three-fourths of the . whole meeting ! ' We never before heard of any man being placed in so humiliating a position . Poor Mr . Baines ! we really pity him ; ar d hope that , though the pill be a bitter one , its effect will be salutary .
BRIGHTON . —A public meeting of the trades of Brighton was held on Thursday evening , February 10 : h , at the Bricklayer ' s Arms Inn , North-street , for the purpose of devising tha best means of assisting the masons on strike in London and Woolwich , Mr . 1 . Scott , cordwainer , in the chair . The ohairnian addressed a few preliminary observations to the meeting , regret . ing that the tseetiug was called on tho same evening as the visit of her Majesty to Brighton , which had doubtless prevented many from attending . Mr . Matthews , cordwainer , proposed the first resolution . Mr . Matthews then read the
follewing resolution : — "That , in tho opinion of this meeting , the manly and moral courage exhibited by the ma ? ons on strike at tho New Houses of Parliament , Nflsou ' s Monument , and at the Woolwich Dockyard , in resisting the repeated tyrannies of George Allen , the foreman at the Houses of Parliament , deserves our utmost praise , and the support of every man desirous of preserving a general union of the working classes . " Mr . Matthews , at some length , and in a fiuo manner , supported the resolution , showing the necessity of trado ' s unions , and also the necessity of every woiking man joining a Chartist association . If , said V . e , tha contraotori-, Grissell and Peto , had struck against the men , would the Government have given their support to
tne men , as in the present instance they had done to their employers , in the most barefaced mauner allowing the contract to be suspended , and giving grants of the public funds to carry on their tyrannical opposition against the masons ! It had been reported , according to Dr . M'Douall ' s statement , at the White Conduit meeting , that the Queen had presented Grissell and Peto v £ 500 for the loss they had sustained . He urged on them to continue united and firm in their support to the masons , and thus they would ultimately succeed in the attainment of their objects . Mr . Matthews concluded an excellent address , and sat down loudly applauded . Mr . Woodward , news agent , seconded the resolution . Mr . Giles , carpenter , in proposing the second
resolution felt no doubt but that they would pass it . The quarrymen were entitled to the best thanks of this meeting , and it was rather unfortunate that the Government lent their influence to Grissell and Peto ; but he hoped they were all of his mind of upholding these men to the last , though he was well convinced that until the working classes had the power of sending their own men into the House of Commons , no permanent benefit would accrue to them . It was for the want of political power that the Dorchester Labourers and the Glasgow Cotton Spinners were transported ; if they had a fair representation in tho Commons , those men would never have been transported ; still he would support these men , and ho would leave the following resolution in
their hands . Sir . Giles then resumed hi 3 seat by proposing , " That in the opinion of this meeting , the bola and decisive conduct adopted by tho quarrymen in refusing to prepare stone for Grissell and ' . feto ; until a fnll measure of justice has been conceded to tho injured masons , wnom to Eupport _ in their juHt and honourable strike , havo sacrificed thsir employment , are pre-eminently entitled to our cordial thanks ' and sympathies , and whose conduct urges us on to renewed exertions , which , ere long , we trust will end in the complete triumph of the bohs of industry . " Tho resolution was secouded by Mr . Ja ? . Parker , plasterer , and briefly supported by Mr . John Scrase , mason , and Mr . Trower , carpenter . The Chairman put the resolution which was adopted .
Mr . John Allen , carpenter , proposed the following resolution : — " That in the opinion of this meeting the partial , unjust , and tyrannical conduct of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests , and the iioard of Admiralty , in continually tendering assistance to Grisseil and Peto against the cruelly persecuted masons now en strike , clearly proves that the Government , and those connected with them , ara determined by every effort in their power to crush and put down any unionfof the working classes ; it is therefore necessary that extensively organised associations should exist amongst them for their mutual protection against the combined efforts of those who live upon their industry . " Mr . Flower , shipwright , seconded the resolution . The resolution was carried . Mr . Hemmings , mason , proposed the following resolution : — " That this meeting do
immediately and collectively declare its determination to assist the masons » o long aa the strike may continue , and that the following gentlemen do forma committee to carry out the said object , viz ;—Messrs . J . Allen , Benjamin King , T . O . Lambort , William Bannister , John Rook , Thomas Gibbs , N . Morling , John Matthews , William White , Edward Hammings , James Parker , W . Penfold , Wm . Woodward , Geo . Giles , Jeremiah Herbert , and Henry Trueman , with power to add to their number . " Mr . Scrasa , a mason , seconded the resolution . The Chairman put the resolution proposed by Mr . Hemmings , and it was unanimously carried . A vote of thanks was presented to the Chairman for his able conduct in the chair , and the meeting then gave three heart ; loud cheers for the People ' s Charter , and three cheers for the success of the masons .

THE LAST BID OF THE AUCTION . Let the people turn over the Not them Star , and the speeches of Feabgu 3 O'Conmor , and tell us how long it is since we and he put them up to auction with the reserved bid of Univer . al Suffrage , assuring them that if they were but careful to maintain that reserved bid , and not lower the value of the commodity to meet the importunity of greedy customers , there would soon be enough of competition for them at that price ; let them recollect how often we have repeated
this statement within the last five years ; how distinctly we told them at the late general election , ( when our pro-Tory policy" was so severely denounced by a few short-sighted Chartnts ) that the Whigs once driven from the mess-pot , with no hope of a return but through the people , would give any price to get the people ; and then let them tarn to the events and circumstances of the past week , and give us what credit the ; please fox understanding and honestly pointing out to them th « r true position .
In London , in Manchester , in Salford , in Stockport , in Bradford , in Nottingham , and in many other places " too numerous to mention , " the chopfallen . Whigs , ' seeing their old enemies Becurel ; fortified in faction ' s citadel , have already sounded tht tocsin of the Charter : the whole hog , bristles , snoot , and all , has been gulped . Sundry queer contortions , wry , mouths , and foul faces have been made about it , but the pill has been swallowed , distasteful as it was .

discovered , with ; Mr .-Fobbes , of Bradford , that if they had the Repeal of the fcorn Laws to-mqrrow , it is worthless without Universal Sufirage . They affect , at ' -least , to have made this discovery ; and if they be honest in their professions of their newly-adopted creed , they will not hesitate to acknowledge howr much they are behind the people in intelligence ; what dolta they are—what dunces in the school of political and social science—to" have only learned that now which the people have been dinning initheir ears so many years . Honesty is always
attended by humility ; and if these men be now honest in their attachment to the principles of liberty ; they will seatthemselves before their schoolmasters , and not presume to lead those iyho have so long and so far led them in the maroh of intellect . None can hail with ; greater satisfaction than we do the appearance of any appproxiniation to a cordial union , upon principles of justice , between the middle and the working classes of society . We like the frank acknowledgment of Mr . Fokb ^ s , and of the Rev .
Mr . Spencer , and of some other higher and middle class men , that those classes have been guilty of injustice to their poorer brethren ; and ^ we know tho working classes well enough to know that resentment dwells not with them , and that as a class they are strangers to vindictivensss ; that they are quite ready to forget past wrongs , and to join their late oppressors in a common struggle for redress of grievances . We know this to be their character , and wo rejoice iu it . But they must be guarded : ' -once
bitten , twice shy . " They wens duped , grossly duped , shamefully betrayed , and basely soldj in the matter of the Reform Bill agitation ; let them Bed to it that the second act of the same play be not now gone through . We confess that we have little confidence in these late and eyidently reluctant converts to the principles of justice . We have watched their movements long , and / we watch them now , with ho slight intensity . We bid the people to beware ; they aw like pigs with soaped tails—it is very difficult to
hold them , or to guide them . That they niay be made to work for the Charter is evident—that they will throw it overboard if possible is not less evident : they must be watched , and carefully . We tell the people plainly they must use thtm ; but not truat them . They must not bo Buffered to busy themselves in the unsettling of tlat which they have just begun to look at , but which their schoolmasters have been studyiug for years . It is not for little boys to make lessons , but to learn thorn ; and yet these new-born Chartists are not a few of
them very wishful to be tinkering already ; to be chopping off the limbs and notches , and polishing and oiling the surface of the Charter , ep that it may the more easily slip through their hands . This vront do ; the people must remember that the " bid" of Universal Suffrages is imperfect unless accompanied by such details ; as make it perfect ; that it is fraudulent if so given as to afford the "bidders " the opportunity of at all reducing its full Value . This they n . ay do—this they will do—if each point of tho wholo Charter be not broadly
and rigorously stuck to . The Sturgb cry of "Complete Suffrage" ; the League cry oi * ' Suffrage for every male of twenty-one years of age" ; every "bid , " leaving out a single point of the whole Charter , must be scouted . The offer to connect the Charter , and Repeal agitations must be entertained with great caution , if entertained at all . Our opinion is decidedly that the Chartists ought not to entertain it ; that they ought to insist upon the Charter , and tho Charter only , as the preliminary to all other measures . The Corn Law
Repealers now tell us that they have lost all hope from the present House of Commons , or from any House constituted by the present Suffrage . If this be true , why continue the present Corn Law agitation ? Why not devote their whole energies at « nce and undividedly to that preliminary measure which the ; admit to be indispensiblo to tho carrying of repeal ? They have resisted every effort for the Suffrage until now ; they have tried every artifice—used every meansto induce the people to give up the Suffrage
movement for the Repeal cry . They could not succeed ; they could not get the people with them ; they tried their own power on the Govefnmont and tho Parliament without the people ; they failed ; the ; tried again ; they have again failed , they now profess to have no hope from Parliament , as now constituted , and to be anxious to see the whole people invested with the Suffrage , that a Parliament may com © into existence which will comply with thoir . desire 8 . We don't believe them . This may as we hare said before , be the real mind of the
very few among ; them who are simple and conscientious ; but the League , the leaders , and the millionaires , have far different objectp . They have not given up all hope from Parliament as now constituted ; they still hope , and they still purpose to attain their object . But they feel that they cannot do it of themselves ; they feel that \ they must have the people with them ; they know that the people will not go with them for mere Corn Law repeal ; that they are wedded to the Suffrage question—the question of all questions ,
because involving all rights;—and they hopetherefore , by this blending of the two agitations into one , to avail themselves of tho whole power of the whole people . We bid the people mind that it is not at public meetings whore the work is to be done : it is not in resolutions , and petitions , and memorials , to do more than express the people ' s mind ; all the rest must be done , if done peacefully and bloodlessly , in Parliament ; and it will be for the Parliamentar ; Brigade of tho Corn Law Repealing Whigs to bring into exercise ,, and to give
direction to the power of the weapons which they can persuade the people to put into their hands . They have hitherto been able to do nothing for want of weapons ; they have not had the expression of the people's will to back them ; their petitions were few , and full of forged signatures , and this was known in Parliament ; public meetings they could not , and dare not , hold , because the people were not with them ; and this was known in Parliament ; and hence the ; had no power there . If they can now succeed in getting tho whole people to go with them for a joint agitation for a Repeal of the
Corn Laws and the Charter , taking care as wo perceive they have done at Salford , Bradford , and some other places ; to tack the Chatter to the main objects of the meeting only when compelled , making "Repeal" still prominent and principal , the ; will instruct their tools in Parliament to sink the Charter and to push Repeal . The people ' s majesty :- " yn \\ be invoked in all its might , and pointed to in all its terrors . ; the unanimous voioe of the millions , thundering through the air , making the valleys to ring and the mountains to echo , will bo re-echoed in St 'Stephen ' s for the KJMAl OF THE " $ 0 $ ^ $ ^; ¦ . ¦ ¦ ¦ . ; ' . AndTh * Chtrttt . . . ' ; '' ' : ¦ ' . The "Strong Government " and tha aristocracy are hot fools ; they will sea through the trick ; they will understand all about it j they will protest against this unfair use of the Charter agitation ; but they will see that they are in " * fix "; that there ; is mw nx > eviting the thing ; that the people have been roused , and must be quieted ; that * omc ( Atny must be done ; that one of these two measures , or both of them , must be ' passed ; and however little they may like the Repeal of the Corn Laws , they will not long hesitate in choosing between that and the Charter Aristocratic rule , and privilege , and spoliation , did exist and flourish , long before the present Corn Laws came into existence , and may dd so after their repeal ; but with a Charter conetUtttion they could not

exist at aTJ . So would the aristocra ' cy and the *¦ etrorig Gdvi > r ninent" re » 3 On ° ? the matter , and so reasoning - they would make a viitueoT necessity and ^ repaal the ; Cotil Laws , ^ ile our new friebd ^ the \ Vhigs , would " ( Wwe ^ ack to the people and say ^ WeUiybu see what ttiejrh ^ vei done ; these rascally Tories , this plundering aristoe / acy ; won't give up their plunder ; they wouldn ' t give -Jfs both ; however thank God , we have got the oaf jgrtat tbinfi ;; we have got the Corn Laws repealed / and that will give us another 'Extension / and morel . occunation for machinery , and more necessity for t ^ e
increase of inanimate productive power . To be sura it will greatly lower wages , and greatly raise 1 taxes , bai then it will give us more foreign trade , and t hat is the best thing we can ^ have / ' Such we believe to be the first object aimed at by the League in this new move for the Suffrage in connexion with Corn Law Repeal . If they should fail to accomplish this object , and if another application tp Parliament , backed by the power of the people , thus surreptiously obtained , should ba alike unsuccessful with their former applications , lacking that snpport , they will then apply themselves in right earnest to
the procuriDg of a large extension of the franchise in order that they may be thusenabied bythe people to send men who will do their bidding . They will stick , however , to the Suffrage question Only , independent of what they choose to call the " minor details" of the Charter . This will enable them—the Property Qualification ^ and the Seven Years' Parliaments being still continued—to send , even with Universal Suffrage , men from their own order into the House of Commons , who will iake precious good care so to fortify the w $ > ole tribe of . locusts with enactments as that the people ehall derive but precious little benefit from thereform . We should
dread a rarli ament elected by Universal Suffrage , but ; re ' aining still the property qualification and forbidding its members to receive payment not a whit less than tho present one , and much more than the worst of the old Boroughinongaring Parliaments . Whence are the working people to obtain honest representatives of counties with £ 500 a-year , and of Boroughs with £ 300 a-year in property ? ¦ The idea is ridiculous ; and none know it better than the new-made " extension of commerce" converts to "complete suffrage , " who boggle ; about the other " details" of the Charter . ^
Let the people commit no mistake . We are determined , at all events , that if they do so ifc shall not be without warning . Corn Law Repeal and the Charter cannot both be carried . If both be attempted they will be either both lost or the Repeal wiil be carried and the Charter thrown overboard . Let the pet pie think upon that ; We warn them . It * they permit ; themselves to . be g old , the fault lies not with us;—our duty is performed . We repeat that if the Corn Law Ropealers be sincere in their avowals of " ho hope from a Parliament constituted like the present one , " and if they be sincere in their acceptance of the Char * ter as the only means to Com Law Reneal , they will at once Uy by the Repeal agitation , and concentrate
their whole energies to aid tho piople till the Charter shall ba carried . If they omit to do this , they furnish the best evidence that their only purpose is to use the people for . their own ends , and then to oast off and trample oa them . Let the p : ople , then , see to it , that at least and at all events , if these coalition meetings must go on , tho Chatter take its own place , as first , prioiary and principal object of attention , and not as a mere rider tacked on to the tail of Repeal . We tell tkem tha | if they do not do this , they will be sold ; that they will have sold themselves ; that they wi 11 therefore have no right to coin plain , ; and that we at all events shall have neither pity nor sympathy for them . -
