THE CORDIAL BA ; LM OF SYRIACUM Is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life , and is exclusively directed to the cure of such complaints as arise from a disorganizatioa of the Generative System , whether constitutional or acquired , loss of sexual power , and debility arising from Syphiltic disease ; and is calculated to afford decided relief to those who , by early indulgence in solitary habits , have weakened the powers of their system , and fallen into a state ef chronic debility , by which the constitution is left in a deplorable state , and that nervous mentality kept up which places the individual in » state of anxiety for the remainder of life . The consequences arising from this dangerous practice are hot confined to its pure physical result , but branch to moral ones ; leading the excited , deviating mind into a fertile field of reductive error —into a gradual bat total degradation of manhoodinto a pernicious application of those inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for the preservation of her species ; bringing on premature decripitude , and all the'habitudes of old age : —such a one carries with him the form and aspect ef other men , but without the vigour and energy of that Bcaaon which his early youth bade him hope to attain . How many men cease to be men , or at least , cease to enjoy manhood at thirty ? ' How many at eighteen receive the impression of the seeds of Syphilitic disease itself ! the consequences of which travel out of the ordinary track of bodily ailment , covering the frame with disgusting evidences of its ruthles" > nature , and impregnating the wholesnrpn ^ - - ¦ . ¦ > ' |! mor t ' po - ' ' u ; C ¦ "' ; j . ug . i <> •'• •¦ •• V 1 ; ' • •> . .

The fearfully abused powers of the human Generative System require the most cautious preservation ; and the debility and disease resulting from early indiscretion demand , for the cure of those dreadfu evils , that such medicine should be employed that is most certain to uccessfal . It is for these cases Messrs . Perry and Co ., particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM which is intended to relieve those persons , who ^ by an immoderate iudulgence of their passions , have ruined their constitutions , or in their way to the consummar tion of that . deplorable state , are affected with any of those previous Bymptoms that betray its approach , as the various affections of the nervous system , obstinate gleets , excesses , irregularity , obstructions of certain evaotiationg , weakness , total impotencyt barrennessj &c . ¦"¦ '¦ ¦ ''¦ .

It possesses wonderful efficacy in all cases of syphilis , fits , head-ache , weakness , heaviness and lowncss of spirits , -dimness ol sight s confused thoughts , wandering of the mind , vapours and melancholy ; and all kinds of hysteric complaints are ¦ gradually moved by its use .

The Secretary read over the minutes of last meeting , irhkh were confirmed , and also a number ot letters bearing npon the business of the meetiBg . Each delegate then paid his qncta of money towards She Convention fond . The money a&irs being satisfactorily settled , a long diarussion ensued , which terminatsd by the passing of the following resolution : — Moved * by Mx . C&rtledge , and seconded by Mr . Beard" That , in order to come to a clear and brotherly understanding "with tbe Chartists of this county , it is the opinion of the delegates representing South Lancashire , that it is requisite and desirable the whole of Lancashire should join in engaging lecturers , and to transact all other business connected "with tie Chartist movement in the county ; and that the Secretary do forthwith correspond with the sub-Secretaries of the North on the subject , and the same to be laid before the naxt delegate meeting . "
Mr . Cartiedge then moved the following resolution , ^ rbich was" Becsn&ed by Mr . Kuttall , and carried unanimously : — " "We the Delegates of South Lancashire pledge our-Belves not to be parties to any compromise with the Com Law League or any other body of men , but that in will stand by t&e Charter , the whole Charter , and to sgitite for nothing less , and that a Committee be chosen to draw up an address to the county to that effect , giving instructions how the Chartists of Lancashire should in our opinion act at all the forthcoming meetings , and at any deputations which they may for the future have with the League , or any other party who might wish an interview with them . *' Messrs . Griffin , Cartiedge , and Grocott , were then elected to draw up the aforesaid address .
After a long discussion on the propriety of having a regular correspondence with the Members of the Convention "while Bitting , for which purpose a Central Committee should be formed to sit in Manchester . The following resolution was carried unanimously . " That a Committee of persons be appointed whose business it shall be to keep up a continual correspondence with the Members for Lancashire while sitting , to give them sneh information and instruction as they in their judgment may deem best calculated to forward She good cause in which we are engaged ; and should anything of importance transpire they shall immediately communicate the same to the Secretaries of Lancashire , accompanied with such information and advice as they may think necessary . And we urgently eallupon every member in the county to hold themselves prepared to second the exertions of their Council in every legal way , and so te act as the ease may require . "
The following persona were elected as the Committee , Messrs . Griffin , Cartiedge , Grocott , Davies , Knight , Shearer , Waters , and Rankin . The Sectetary was then ordered to write to Liverpool and a few other places who arfe in arrears , requesting them to come forward as early as possible . A Deputation was next introduced from Delph , Ssddleworth , who stated that they were situated betwixt the two counties , and wished to know -whether they should join Lancashire or Yorkshire , The former lektg more likely to render them assistance by sending them lectures , && It was moved by Mr . Rankin , seconded by Mr . Grocott and carried , " That they join Lancashire . " After a vote ef thanks to the Chairman and Secretary lor their disinterested and velantary services , the Delegates dispersed . The next Delegate meeting win be held on the last Sunday of next month .
The Address of the Delegates of South Lancashire to their Constituents and the Chartists y&xrall y throughout Uie United Kingdom . Buotheh Chaxtists , —We , the delegates assembled , consider it to be our duty at this very important period of our agitation , to give you our opinion and advice on the proud position which ws hold in our gigantic straggle as a party for political freedom . But a short time ago , the factions who were striving lor the contents of the mess-trongb , would not allew yon , in their narrow , short-sighted , prejudiced , and contracted craniums , to have the least power . They treated yon with scorn and contempt ; your measures Were wild and visionary ; in fact , you were considered unworthy of their notice , —except to receive their calumny , abuse , and misrepresentatioi ) . But by your perseverance , your determination , your firmness , your arguments , numbers , and adherence to principle , you
tare compelled them , though reluctantly , to change their tone and behaviour—they having found that all their schemes , talent and wealth , "were insufficient to draw you from the one great object to which you are attached , have at last—ihear it , ye Chartists , and let it be proclaimed through the length and breadth of the land }—admitted that ve are a party , and a very powerful one . They have , in conclave , made a declaration fiiat they cannot accomplish their object without the assistance and co-operation of the industrious millions , sna more especially those who are denominated Chartists . Had they been honest and sincere towards the Chartists —had the Whigs performed their work whilst in power , the sufferings , imprisonment . , death , and transportation of the Chartists would have been prevented . What amount of confidence can we place in them , after their being so long beating about the bushes , and , as a last step , only coming forward to court our support through mere necessity , and not from principle ?
They wished to attract our attention by forming an Association for Household Suffrage , when they had found that persecution hoi imprisonment would neither lead or drive U 3 from our scent of the Charter . Our leaflera met them honestly and fairly , and beat them at Lseds . An editor of this town—namely , Mr . Prentice , of Qa Hozclsesier Times , as a sort of feeler , put forth an educsxisnal standard for the franchise , instead of that laid down in the Charter . We exposed that , and of
coarse it would not take . The working millions conceived that they ought not to be deprived of their birthright , when the system of class legislation had prevented them from Isamirg the mechanical arts of "writing and riding—that is , the system was calculated , in tie first pliee , to make them ignorant ; and , according to the notions of this Solon—this "would-be patriot and public instructor , they must icnnin slaTc 3 , ia conseauesce of such ignorance , a more unjust and unreasonable project could not have ecacaied from a despot , much less a liberal man .
They next brought out a declaration for what was ieni ^ d complete Suffrage ; but this , like the other two "bisis , " wererejested . The Chartists would not beagain deemed . The consequence -was . that it only tended to thvw tllfeij ireeinfcss and shnfBiBg ' - We met tils at the cutset , &bg exposed it , and -rery little is said about it , except among a few high Whigs . Another gentlemen of tbe Midland Counties , who thought he "would prove himself more wDy and cuiis ^ g is the sjBtem of political juggling—a skiifnl geEei ^ l of thfe thimble-riggers—in order to prove that te was a masterpiece in the art of deception ai » d ecaxicg—brought out a new Charter , forsooth ! which , for i few days , made a great noise in his own neighbourhood , and id awards died after hard kicks—nnLi EiSBted , dishonoured , and almost forgotten—at ltast , * e have nt , t heard a word either about him or his new fcom since its last dying groans .
The whole cf their attempts having been frustrated , and percsi-ring that they were fast , and in a "weak and a * fttl position—the Tories beating them in the House , * aa ths naughty Chartists cuffing them in trying to ffiike them hoDest out of tbe House—their position as a party , was truly pitiable—to obviate "which , an « Iaise a kind of ferment , and to extricate themselves oat of theii manifold blunders and difficulties , and to ofia another bait , a few grtat and liberal souls , about fcalf-a-dozai in number , assembled on Friday , the 11 th icst , at a Temperance Hotel in Manchester , and dre * up a declaration , demanding the Suffrage and the ¦ BaDoi , setting forth that it was the production of a ncmber of men "who were merchants , tradesmen , manu-&ctorcr 8 , inhabitants , and working classes cf 3 Ianchfciter . They employed a number of men to stand at at the end of streets to obtain signatures , who said thct tt& working and middle classes had joined fer a Repeal o £ tfc& Com "Laws .
Ths Chartists , "who are ever on the alert , "who have watched their tricks , saw through this puff , and set it down a ? only consistent "with all their ether moves Ccnsfcqcently , the obstinate , ignorant , and silly Cnartifts rejected it , denounced it as vague and unsatisfactory , and unworthy of their support Their next sttp was to pass resolutions , calling upon he * Jlsjesty to dismiss her present advisers , and call to her council men r-fco "would abolish the Corn Laws , and to gire to ereiy man of twenty-oce years of age , of sane mind , &c , a vote for the election © f Members to Parliament , and likewise the Ballot
When the memorial , "which ought to have been faai £ d according to these resolutions , came out , behold , to om astonishment and disgust , these parties , who had so recently become so honest—these new converts to liberal principles—these men who wish for the ccoperationof ae Chartists—had deceitfully burked , or E&tber omitted ta mention a word abont either the Suffrage or the Ballot , the memorial only asked for 'CEisters who would repeal the Corn Laws . Sow , feUow-sountrymen , whither Chartista or not , ** 8 ft be expected that we can trust such men as these ?

Ought we not . to be sceptical ? Is it not sufficient to convince us that they only wished to make tools ot us to obtain repeal ? Would such men as those give us to political power if they could ? What other motives can they have—what designs tot those of deception and intrigue ? What is the reason of alt this maneeuvering ? Why have they been driven to this sort of conduct ? Why all this scheming , planning , and capering ? First , HonseholdSuffrage ; Second , Education Suffrage ; Third , Complete Suffrage ; Fourth , Twenty-five years' Suffrage ; Fifth ; the Charter Suffrage and Vote by Ballot Why simply and truly because you were determined not to budge from tie Charter—because you were
wedded to' these undying principles contained in that imperishable document called the People ' s Charter , and were resolved not to make any or the least compromise . or to join any party who won d not go at once for a full measure of justice ; then take credit for your firmness , integrity , and honesty ; you now see that every step you have taken has been a judicious one , and that by a perseverance in the same line of procednre you will be respected by the parties who - nee despised you , and as you have brought them from one point to another , like squirrels hopping from bough to bough you "will compel them to come out whether honestly or not for every thing you desire . Yon have obtained too great a triumph to give way ; your cause is just , and ought to be espoused by every working man who loves himself
, his family , " his country , and posterity . No man will object to our priciples who is a lover of liberty . No one will refrain joining ui , but be who is content to remain a mere servile slave . Indeed neither the advocates of the Whigs nor the Tories have ever attempted to analizs the points of the Charter ; neither the Whig nor the Tory press have ever properly discussed the principle , bnfc have invariably , in a cowardly and unjutt manner , pointed with scorn and ridicule to some reported indiscreet act of an isolated Chartist , without even inquiring whether the statement be true or false , and held it up to their hearers and readers as a specimen of Chartism- Now were we to adopt this standard , and apply this test to any society , either political ,
religious , ot benefit , f we were to identify the actions of men with principles , we might condemn by the same rule every good institution or society in existence . These parties have been in the habit of attending bar parlours , tempererance hotels , and other places of resort ; when the Charter was mooted they have turned up their noses and treated it as beneath their notice , only to make it frightful and appear impracticable , and when taken to task , when questioned as to whether they hai ever read that document , they have replied in the negative ; and the enly raasen these biggoted busy bodies ,, these fops of politicians , these great and wise would-be-statesmen and legislators could assign for their willful ignorance of those principles was , that they never considered it worth reading .
Should these remarks meet tbe eyes of some of this description of critics , these great Solomon ' s , or of any of our new-professed converts , we will give them a brief sketch of the Charter , accompanied with our reasons for agitating for it , leaving ourselves open to meet any man or body of men to defend it , either with pen or tongue ; not because we depend upon our abilities alone , but because the principles of the Charter are just and right , founded on truth and require only a plain and unvarnished tale to make them produce conviction in their . favour , in the minds ef every man who is not blinded with prejudice and self-conceit
As ths first grand point of the Charter , we advocate "Universal Suffrage , liable to the following conditions : —That the voter be a male , twenty-one years of age , of sana mind , unconvicted of crime , not guilty of personation , bribery , forgery of election certificates , and able to prove a three months residence as a householder or lodger . . The above is the Fnivti-aal Suffrage of tbe Chartera suffrage for the virtuous only , from which the perfidious traitor to his country ' s rights would be excluded —a suffrage discriminating , equitable , and just .
What we advocate is a right founded upon the princi pies of nature . Politically speaking , we see no difference in man at birth , there is none at death , and then surely if God and nature has made no difference in their entrance into the "werld , and going out of the world , there ought net to bt > any in their royage through , the World ; but the contrary has been the rule , thousands , nay millions by our unjust laws and class legislation have been born slaves , lived slaves , and lastly , have died slaves . It is thafwhieh has induced man to become a tyrant , and likewise made slaves . No man has ever attempted to shew why the industrious mechanic , or the labouring man should be deprived of his birthright St Paul
said " those who did not work , neither should they eat " Common sense would snggest that if any portion ought to be excluded , it must be those idlers and drones who fatten upon the blood aad bones of the people . And those in&astrious millions who labour for their liningthat portion of the community "who are the real pride the real prop , the real strength , the real wealth , the real powar , the real protectorsj defenders , and great neesof the nation ought to have a voice in the laws of their country—so that their labour , winch is the source of all wealth , which prodaces everything valuable in society , without which the world would be an nniversal desert , might be protected , equally with its child , the capital .
Vote by Ballot we advocate , deeming it tte only safeguard of the poor but conscientious voter—his only protection against bribery , corruption , and intimidation ; but we resist the ^ Jlot , without the suffrage , as useless and inefficient , npon the same principle that we would a scabbard without a sword to shield . Weadvoeata Annual Piirliaments , because they would preserve more closely the connection between the elector and the representative , prevent bad Government arising from corrupt Ministers aad senators troubled with short memories and truckling principles . We agitate for equal representation , as by its introduction the constituencies , in some cases bo disproportionately numerous , would be reduced ; in others , so diminutive , would be multiplied , &o that Harwich , with its 156 electors , should not send an tqaal number of Members to Parliament , with the thousands of Westminster , tc .
We advocate the No Property Qualification for Members of Parliament , on the principle that it is neither the extent of a man ' s acre * , or tbe depth of his pnrse , that qualifies him for a legislator ; but that political integrity , mental intelligence , moral superiority , and unswerving consistency in patriotic devotion to our common country , farm infinitely more important—nay indispensable qualifications for the senator and the statesman . Payment of Members we think necessary under the operation of a No Property Qualification Parliament , as the most efficient guarantee for the faithfulness and integrity of the representative .
These , then , are our political principles . They are abstractedly just ; they partake of the eternity of truth and the stability of the immutable . No contrivance , no shuffling , no threats "will ever induce us to give them up : we presume to say they are just , and the only way for either enemies or professed friends to lead us from them is , first of all , to shew that they are contrary to tmlh , not our rights , and also impracticable . Till they hava done so We shall remain firm , through evil and good "report , sincere admirers and advocates of tho ^ e principles . We believe that though the country , at the present time , is in an awful and truly alarming state , that those principles will save it from inevitable ruin if adopted .
There are sniBrient elements and materials in Great Britain to make the people happy , comfortable , prosperous ,- and free . Under a wise Government every human being might be put in possession of a good education , good food , good clothing , and gcod shelter ; ansi the Government knowing thi 3 , and having tho oppor tunity to do eo , not doing it , ought not to be toltrated . The money , tie law , the land , the press , the machinery , have all been monopolised by the middle and higher classes , and made to work against the interest of tbe working classes . Hijzh rente , high taxes , large
profits , and competition , will ruin any nation , however powerful and prosperous it might once have been . We want a power to regulate these affairs , that they may work for us , instead of , as now , against us ; and until we have obtained such power we shall remain , not as we are , but ,, bad as our eonditionis , we si all go worse . There are the same circumstances at work now which have brought us to cur present condition , and will , if not checked , bring us still lower and lower ; hence tbe necessity for every right-minded and honest man to arouse and declare , and at once , that be will do all he can to put a stop to the present corrupt
sjfctsm . We are aware that hundreds every menth are leaving the land of their birth to seek sustenance in a foreign country , not being able to obtain a living in their owr . If it could be avoidnl we would , for our part , much rather they remained at home , and endeavour to reform their own country . He who stays , acts more thepsrt cf a patriot , if trying to mend it , than be who runs away . It certainly is a cruel system which forces industrious people to leave the country ; because nativity , birthright , brothers , sisters , -wives , children , relations , friends , and neighbours , all conspire to bind and
endear us to our common country ; and we adept the langnage of a well known and real Stirling patriot , who said , " that although my country is cursed by tyranny , its natural beauties defaced by misrule and eppression , - its aspects of grandeur blurred by the withering grip of close legislation , its fair daughters and free sons transformed into slaves , its once glorious institutions , subverted and substituted by coercion , through political inequality , social distress , domestic discord , nniversal wrt tchedness . and life-coBSuming dmdgery is the lot ol the many millioned helots , though all this iB the lot of my country . Yet , from the language of my heart , I exclaim , " My country , with all thy faults I love thee stilL" .
In conclusion , Brother Chartists , we emphatically call npon you to do your duty . At public meetings to be fisn , resolute and determined , allow fair discussion , act as -becomes men seeking your liberty , raise no clamour or confusion , let the middle class have this part of the business to themselves , and at all and every risk stand upon your Charter . At all meetings publicly convened , be at your post , and the best way to west tbe honesty of the middle class is to enforce your

amendmentafor tbe Charter . Do not be joggle ^ alfpw no compromise , but by sound argument and reason defend at every hazard , tbe principles which it contains . You are now arrived at a period when a false step might injure the cause you have so much at heart If the middle classes are coming out to join the ChaxtistB see that there be no mistake about the matter , and if they object to the Charter , then you will know what to think abont them—the times are too aerious to be trifled with—we must be sober , active , and persevering . Every man must workas though the whole weight depended upon him .
In order , therefore , to guard against the mirrepresentations of a factious press , you must not by any means , allow the Charter to be a secondary measure , nor must it be allowed to be appended to any other resolution—try your strength at the beginning of the meeting , while the first chairman sits . Never let it be said that you elected another chairman to carry tbe Chart r ; do every thing honestly , fairly , legally , and properly , and triumph , and complete victory is sure to be the result , and you will be held up as men deservins to be free . The middle classes cave already show signs of retreat ; follow them up , then ; and , armed and stimulated as you are by justice , virtue , and truth , you will oblige them to yield to a sensible and a determined people : and , above all , be sober Those who can adopt tbe total abstinence pledge , do ; and those who cannot , be as sober as you can ; but , at any rate , let it not be a test of Chartism—t-very man must please himself in that respect .
We beg of you , in parting , to prove every man , before you condemn him or despise him . There are men who are continually condemning and calumniating one of the best friends the working man ever had—namely , Feargus O Connor . We have tried him , watched him ; aad , hitherto , in every undertaking , found him to be a sterling patrioti one who has made great sacrifices ; he has exerted himself past expectation ; and for that reason , if thousands of the middle classes were to join us tc-morrow , we shall give him his deserve , and any other man who merits it tbe same as he has done . But though we admire > . im for his firmness and consistency , we do not worship either him or any other man , but respect him in proportion to bis patriotism . Wa
respect all other leaders ; but as be has of late been made the butt—as the cry has beeen so oft repeated , " Throw Feargus overboard , " we therefore wish to inform the middle classes of the pledge of our firm , resolve , namely , that we will not leave the men who have proved faithful ; and that we will immediately discard from our ranks any man who can be proved a traitor . If the middle classes wish the confidence of us and you , let them do what Feargus has done for the movement , and they shall have the same respect G * on , then , lads ; be united , and we conquer—divided , and we fall . The Charter . ' the whole Charter I . I and n » surrender I !! We remain , yours in the cause of justice , pledged to the agitation , determined , knowing our rights , to maintain them
We take our leave of you , by declaring , that we will have a long pull—a strong pull—and a pull altogethersaid down cornea the citadel of corruption . Signed oa behalf the delegates assembled , William Griffin , William Grocott , James Castledge .

NEWCASTLE . i Mr . Liddle had placarded Seghill , announcing "bis j intention of giving a lecture on the Corn Laws , in the ¦ Wesleyan Chapel there , oa Saturday evening , the 19 th instant Soon after seven o ' clock the chapel was lighted j up , and Mr . Liddle , in the presence of about a dozen , i commenced bis lecture in the usual hackneyed strain j of the League . Messrs . Cockburn and Sinclair , from Newcastle , j having heard of the intention of Mr . Liddle to attempt i . to impose upon the credulity cf the good men and true j of Seghill , had just arrived about seven o'clock , and no I sooner had they entered the village than it spread like j wildfire that the Chartists had come to oppose Sir . I Liddle ' s humbug , nnd t « that event Mr . Liddle owed having anything like a meeting . Mr . Liddle pretended to lecture for upwards of an hour . When he finished ,
Mr . Cockbum rose and asked the lecturer if he might be allowed to make a few remarks upon what he had said , and was answered yes , providing he would confine himself closely to the subject . Mr . Cockburn then eommenced by exposing tbe fallacy of Mr . Liddle ' s statement , in which he said the greater the amount the export trade of the nation the greater the comfort of the working classes , and laying before the meeting certain statistics , shewing how the cotton manufacture , in all its departments , had increased in quantity exported for the last forty years , and yet the wages of the operative manufacturer had decreased ; for instance , in the year 1797 , there had been manufactured 23 , 000 , 000 lbs . of cotton , at which period the hand-loom weaver earned £ 1 6 s . 8 d . per week , but in 1810 there were manufactured 460 , 000 , 000 iba ., being twenty times the quantity manufactured forty-three
years previous , and yet the hand-loom weaver ' s wages was only 5 s . Cd ., little more than one-fifth of what he earned in 1797 . He then enumerated various other facts tending to prove the same position , and continued It was true that the Duke of Northumberland , the Marquis of Westminster , the Dake of Buccleucb , and many other landed aristocrats , wallowed in wealth and luxury , on the misery of the toil-worn slaves of Britain ; but bow did the Cobdens , the Potters , the Marshails , and a host of manufacturing leeches , who suck the very vitals of the working classes , without being satisfied ? and yet their cry ia " Give , give , give . " This is their object ; give us more profits , and let us give the labouring classes less wages . But the time was when labour was protected—when the working men had the power of electing their own law-makerswhen they could keep within due bounds he

These were the tate of things he wished to see restored—a change which a repeal of the Com Xaw 8 "iever could effect , and which the people never need expect , until the people were folly and fairly represented in the legislature , and con . eluded by asking Mr . Liddle the following questions , to none of which he deigned to reply , via—1 . Would Mr . L ., by any legislative * enactment , enable the labourers to proscribe the increasing power of machinery ? : 2 . Would he place onr labourers in competition , as regards wages , with the labourer * on the Continent ?
3 . Would ha assist to give the labourers the power of protecting themselves ? r Having thanked the meeting for the courtesy they had shown him whilst making his few remarks , he satdown amidst universal applause , ' . V Mr .

Cockburn said , that he would discuss with Mr . L . or any other person f deadly , to the immediate repeal of the Corn La wa , with accompanying measures , the effect which their success would have upon the labouring classes at any time or place within ten miles of Newcastle . :
Mr . Sinclair then moved the following resolution , which wss carried unanimously , not eveD one of the Plague daring to hold up his hand against it , namely : — ¦'¦¦ ¦;; •¦¦ ; , _ ¦ • . - . ¦ . ; , ; :. ¦' . " . . . . ¦ . •/¦ : " . •/•• " That the thanks of this meeting be given to Mr . Liddle for having successfully proved all our evils to be the result of class legislation , which can never be removed until the people are fully and fairly represented in Parliament . " The Plague wishing to try their hand in ' : Gateshead , called a public meeting to be held on Monday , at twelve o ' clock at noon ; they met at the appointed time , and bo did the Chartists .. ¦
As soon as the Mayor , as if by natural instinct , took the chair and had opened the proeeedingB , by the Town Clerk reading the placard , Mr . Sinclair asked the Mayor , if , in the event of an adjournment being carried until eight o ' clock this evening , would have tbe goodness to preside on the occasion , to which his Worship replied he would not , for he was frightened t ? come out at nights . ¦ . ¦ ¦ ¦ ' .: ¦ ¦ ¦" . . . ' - ¦ ¦ . . ¦ ¦ . ; . ' ' ¦ :- . : . *' Mr . Sinclair then said , that as a working man he felt it incumbent upon him to move an adjournment . The Mayor stated that the meeting was got up for the benefit of the working calsaes , and yet he was the first of all the mayors of Qateshead who denied the people the opportunity of attending without making a sacrifice , which they were ill able to afford . He would then
move " That this meeting adjourn until eight o ' clock this evening , so as to give a majority of the industrious classes an opportunity of attending and hearing diecassed those subjects to which the Plague attached so much consequence . " It was met by an amendment , "That seven ( resolutions and a petition be proceeded with in lieu . " Mr . Sinclair protested against such a course .
Upon ita being put from the chair , upwards of twothirds of the meeting held up their hands for the adjournment , but the worthy - Mayor declared otherwise , upon which Mr . Sinclair protested against his decision , and told his worship he would lend him his spectacles if he was deficient in the organ of vision , but he would neither allow him or any one ibIbb to cheat him but of his rights , upon Which the Mayor resigned his seat , Mr . Brocket moving a vote of thanks for bis conduct ia the chair . /
Mr . Sinclair moved , as an amendment , that the conduct of the Mayor does not deserve any thanks , and that the vote of thanks be postponed until he returns to his senses , and learns to give equal justice to honest working men as he would wish others to do to himself . ' Mr . Sinclair ' s amendment was carried .

UBICB 8 TBR . —After the savage treatment shewn to Mr . Cooper by the Corn-Law repealers in the Guildhall , considerable anxiety was felt among the Chartists , as to the likely issae of the meeting called by the repealers , which took plaee in the market-place in the on Thursday before last . Application was first made to the mayor , and to the secretary of the Anti-Cora Law Association , that a number of tickets might be granted for our adaiission to the hustings . This was for some time refused , —but at length granted . A few minutes after one at noon , from five to seven thousand people were assembled , and the mayor ( Thoa . Stokes , Esq . ) came on the hustings , and took the chair . He was surrounded by" Messrs . Paget , J . Biggs , Harris ;
Chapman , I . Hodgson , Fielding , Bawfion , and other principal manufacturers , with Dr . Noble , Rev . Mr . Murseil , &o . &o . Messrs . Cooper and Bairstow , together with nine Chartist friends ^ occupied the front of the hustings , to the left of the mayor repealers put two resolutions to the meeting , and no opposition being offered , passed them : quietly , — about two thousand hands being held up for each proposition . Mr . Cooper then proposed the following resolution : — " That this meeting is of opinion ,-that the Corn Lawai and all . other monopolies which oppress tho people , have their source in ' clasBjegislation ; and this meeting further expresses its firm and fall convictibn ^ that * the People ' s Charter' is the grand remedy for class legislation , and ought to be made the law of the land . " This proposition
was received with immense cheering by the assembly . Mr . Bairstow , In a speech filled with manly reasoning , as well as elegance of figure and expression , seconded the resolution ; and on its being put from the chair , an immense forest of hands was held up in its favour , —at least ' . three-fourths of the Corn Law repealers on the platform also holding up their hands by way of approvals When the negative was put , only about five black-gloved hands on the hustings were shewn , —and the mayor instantly declared the resolution carried . Intense enthusiasm was manifested bythe assembly , and three cheers were then given for the Charter ^ three for the mayor , and three for O'Connor . This is the ^ first open evidence of a disposition for conciliation among the middle classes , of Leicester . An earnest wish to see the Charter passed into a law , has long been known to exist in the minds of a few ; but theBe very
individuals have hitherto complained that we prevented them from shewing it , by proposing amendments at Corn Law meetings , and thereby ere ating " disorder . " On this occasion , a substantive resolution was determined on instead . The vast majority of hands raised for the Chartist resolution , as compared with the shew for Corn Law repeal , ought ta convince the Leicester " Liberals ' that nothing less than an agitation for the whole Charter will liow avail with the people . If they fail to evince suob a conviotion , we shall revert to our old policy of proposing amendments—from which policy wo have tbust-for . th 0 . / * ( r « i time , departed , —with what eventual success , remains to be seen . —Mr . Bairstow delivered an eloquent sermon , to a crowded audience , in the Shaksperean Roams , on Sunday night ; and Mr . Cooper lectured on ' *• Forma of Government , and the principles of the People's Charter , " in the same rooms , on Monday night .

We have of late had several able and talented lecturersi amongst us , who have given a great stimulus to the glorious principles of justice and equality .
