DUNDEE . LOBJOES TRIUMPH OF PRINCIPLE - OVER DELUSION . The anti-Corn Law gentlemen , in acordance with the tactics of the party throughout the country , on hearing the result of Tarn worth BoVs fire months ' deliberation , resolved to get up a public meeting to denounce the sliding scale , to petition the House of Commons against it , and memorialise her Majesty for tbe rifcm ifred of the present Ministry . They presented a requisition to the Provost ; signed by about 250 merchants , manufacturers , and shopkeepers , and he fixed the meeting to be held en Monday , the 28 th nit ., at one p . m ., on the Magdalen Yard Green .
On the Wednesday previous , the Secretary of the Democratic Council , receiTed a letter from the Secretary of the Complete Suffrage Association , suggesting a conference between tbe Council and the Committee of the latter body , in order to come to an unanimous resolution on the Suffrage , as they understood that that question would coma before the meeting at the conclusion of the Gorn Law business . The council had previously resolved to move amendments to any resolution that might be submitted to the meeting , pledging them to agitate in any way on the Corn Laws ; and , at their meeting on Friday evening , preparatory to the conference with the "¦ Sfcurge party , " they resolved to adhere to their former decision ; and five members were appointed to
confer with the other committee . On their meeting , the Secretary of the Complete Suffrage Association said they wished to know what course ; he Chartists intended to pursue on the Suffrage being brought before the meeting . Ho was informed that they in that natter would be guided by circumstances jthat in the event of a motion being submitted for complete or universal suffrage , it would be met by an amendment for the Charter , asd that the Chartists would not agree to any resolution for any thing less . A copy of a resolution -was submitted to them which J 6 ceiv £ d the approbation of almost all tie members of Ihe Complete Suffrage Committee . This matter , then , seemed to be settled , bat thea came the question of questions . "How do youintend to acton the Corn" Law
question ! " asked the Complete Suffrage Patriots . (?) There w& 3 the " rub . " They were told the course intended to be pursued by the council—a course which the Sturgites considered to be " very unwise , very ill-judged , and calculated to injure the cause of Chartism . " The deputation of course gave an opposite opinion ; it was policy they had successfully pursued with great advantage to their cause , as was evidenced by the formation of Complete Suffrage Associations among the middle classes , who would not have gone that length had it not been for the opposition given to the anti-Corn Law movement by the Chartists . The deputation wished one of the other party to moTe , second , or support the resolution , which was of a sort agreed to by both parties :
Dut none being present who would undertake to do this , it wa 3 agreed teat six of each Committee should meet on Saturday evening , to make the final arrangements . They met as agreed upon ; but instead of settling about speakers , the time was spent in discussing the policy of opposing the resolutions on the Corn Law 3 . The Chariists still adhering to their former resolve , the meeting broke up , the Complete Suffrage men declaring that the conference would do more harm than good , as they thought it would break up their association . The greatest excitement prevailed on Monday j by twelve o ' clock , ihe streets were thronged "with working men , hurrying to the scene of action ; a fixed determination to Etandby the right visible on their honest open countenances .
By one o ' clock , 16 , 000 or 18 , 000 persons were congregated round the hustings . Edward Bastes , Esq ., was unanimously called to the chair . He opened the business by commenting on the conduct of magistrates , their refusal to preside , and the holding of the meeting on the Magdalen Yard Green , instead of the High-street , during this inclement season of the year . He contrasted the conduct of Provost Lawson , the present chiefmagistrate , in refusing to preside over such an important meeting of the whole inhabitants as . the pretent convened by himself , and the conduct of the Provosts , Hackney and Johnstons , who , when they convened a portion of the inhabitants only presided at the meetings . Ho read a letter he had received from the Town Clerk , stating that the magistrates
had learned that other business than that mentioned in the requisition , was to be brought before the meeting , and that an effigy of Sir Robert Peel was to be paraded through the streets , and afterwards burned in the Market-place , and expressing their disapproval of such processings , and holding him responsible for ihe peace of the town . - He had returned for answer that he knew nothing of the effigy until that moment ; that he saw it in the street , and that the magistrates should now , as alway 3 , be prepared to preserve the peace —( cheers ) . He then stated the business of the meeting , enjoining them to preserve order , and promised a fair hearing to all who wished to address the meeting . Mr . Alexander Eaxsos , manufacturer , in a speech composed of the usual anti-Corn Law arguments , moved the following resolution : —
" That this sieeting considers the sliding scale of dnties on foreign grain , proposed by Sir Robert Peel , as an insult and a mockery to tbe patient and longsuffering people ; and this meeting believes that tbe GoTsmmeot would not have proposed snch a measure had not the patience of tbe people , under their wrongs , induced the aristocracy to believe that they would submit to anything however oppressive and unjust " Thi 3 was seconded by "W . 6 . Baxter , Esq ., who apologised for the absence of his brother , through indisposition , who intended to second the resolution . ' Mr . Johs Descas stated that he cordially agreed with the latter part of the resolution—the patience of the people had emboldened othera than the aristocracy to oppress them . The resolution was passed unanimously . The Bjbv . Mr . Giljillam , in one of ihe most ludicrous and bombastic speeches we ever had the . misfortune to Ihten to , moved the following resolution .
" Tkat this meeting declares its conviction that the essential food of ™ % n Is exempt , by the laws of nature and Providence , from all liability to restriction or taxation ; and that every interferencs with its free exchange f&i the honest industry of thB labouring classes is immoral and irreligious . " The Rev . Mr . Spescs briefly seconded ths resolution , which was agreed to . At this stage of the proceedings Daniel McEwen , Esq ., writer , was appointed clerk to the meeting . Thomas Sacsdebs , E ? q ., merchant , in moving the next resolution , declared bis conviction that justice would never be done to the people without a change in the representative system of the country . The resolution was as follows : —
" That a memorial to the Qaeen and a petition to -Parliament be presented from this meeting , in accordance with these resolutions , the memorial to tbe Queen praying that her Linje&ty will dismiss from her Councils , her present ilixisitrs as altogether incompetent and nnwilllns to conduct tbe ifiairs of this great nation on the principles of justice and humanity . " Seconded by D . McEmten , Esq ., who declared that lie wa 3 as great a Reformer as any man present , ye ' refused to officiate as clerk , because he anticipated an amendment being proposed . David retired amid the disapprobation of tbe meeting .
Mr . Johu Do'cax then came forward , and was received with loud cheers . He reviewed the speeches of the previous speakers , especially the effusions of the parsons , amidst loud bursts of applause . He characterised them as hypocrites , for standing aloof from the agitation for the rights of the people , yet joining the manufacturers in their cry for cheap bread . He earnestly called upon the people to stand firm to their principles , and concluded by moving the following amendment to the resolution : — That it is the opinion of this meeting that theiaany evils cf -which the working classes of Britain have to complain arise principally from class legislation , ard vnR continue to exist , in one form or another , until
the whole male population above twenty-one years of age , be in possession of tbe right of electing men to represent them in the House of Commons , accordins to the plan of representation denominated the People ' s Charter ; acd , being convinced that the repeal of any bad law would fail to remedy the existing distress—( so long as tbe power of law making rest * in the baad 3 if the middle and higher elasses alone)—and that it -would be a profligate vraste of the means and energies of the people , and a mockery of their miseries to agitate for anything short of the full measure of their r-chts , hereby resolve to agvtite foi the enactment into Iutt of the People ' s Charter , and to give ns countenance oi support to any movement for a less measure of justice . "
( Great cheering . ) Mr . W . Davidson seconded the amendment . He urged the people to be firm and rely upon themselves , as they could expect no support from either Wliigs orTories . Mr . Pstebeih supported the amendment . The Chairman then took the vote , -when the hands of the vast multitude were raised for the amendment , and few , very few indeed , against is . Tae Chairman declared the amendmert carried by a large . majority ; we should say bj at least fifty to one . His announcement of the . vote was received with rapturous applause , which lasted for some minutes . ; Tie Chaiehas wished to know if Mr . Duncan intended to embody tho resolution 5 u a petition . Mr . Dcsas said he had no objection , and moved ft resolution accordingly .
• The anti-Corn Law party then insisted thattte Bojxjt of ail the resolmions should be embraced in JglKSfttition . This was objected to by ihe Chartists . ^ i ^ ttl ^ some discussion , Mr . Duncan-withdrew his tu&m , and Mr . Psterkin , jun ., moved the -adoption "J ^^ # t ' 0 Q embracing the spirit of all theresolu-^} &K | Ta | eh was seconded by Mr . A ? ex .

On being put to the vote , th . 9 amendment was carried by a large majority . A . clerk being required to draw up the minutes of the meeting , Mr . John Hunter and Mr . James MThersori were severally proposed . On a vote being taken Mr . James M'Pherson w& 3 elected by a large majority , After a hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman for his impartial conduct in the chair , and three cheers for the Charter , the meeting quietly dispersed . This was truly the most important meeting held in Dundee since the commencement of our agitation . On its decision depended the existence of Chartism
in this quarter , and it has really decided this , it has strengthened ub , secured our supremacy as the leading and only political party , and verified the prediction of the Complete Suffrage seers , for it has not only destroyed them , but laid the last clod on the grave of the poor " corn craiks . " Add Dandee to the list of victories . Right has obtained over might ; let those who have not yet met the deluders follow our example . On our return from the meeting , we beheld the foolish display of the burning of Peel's effigy . Faugh ! Is this the " respectable" mode of agitation ?

SINCERITY OF THE ANTI-CORN LAW LEAGUE MEN IN THEIR ADVOCACY OF CHARTIST PRINCIPLES . Every week , and almost every day , is now big with events tending to prove that our advice to the people to " take care of themselves" ia the proposed and eagerly sought for alliance of their new friends , the Corn Law repealing " Extension " men , wa 3 founded on a clear and right view of the character of these worthies .
In our last , we noticed a great public meeting at Wolverhampton , in which it appeared from the face of the resolutions , of the speeches , and of the whole proceedings , that " the entire animal" had been bolted without the least wincing . The Charter was acknowledged , in the first resolution to be the first thing necessary to be goue for , as a means whereby relief from UDJnst legislation was to be had . The resolution was moved by one of their first-rate men ; it contained no reference to any distinct agitation for Corn Law Repeal now , but referred to the Charter as the thing to be obtained . Here it is : —
" That the distress under which the people of this town and district are now—and have been for so long suffering—is caused by the laws which ro- , trict the importation of food ; that the ministerial proposal for the amendment of these laws adds insult to injury by its mockery of relief ; that the certainty of such amendment being carried by the majority of the members of the present House of Commons , is a proof of the necessity of putting an end to these and other evils of class legislation , by such extension of tbe franchise as shall Becure to all ranks of the people that full , fair , and free representation , as defined iu the People ' s Charter , to which on the principles of the constitution they are entitled . " The only other resolution , a memorial to the Queen , was of a precisely similar character ,
praying : — " That , as your petitioners have been denied ; justice by the House of Commons as at present con-1 stituted , they beg that your Majesty wiil take such j measures as shall secure to your people a full , fair , i and free representation , as defined by the People ' s j Charter . " I - This memorial was seconded by a Mr . Keitle ; , and a very pretty Chartist kettle he boiled . We ] have not read a more excellent Chartist speech thi 3 j long time than than this same Mr . Kettle ' s speccb , ' as reported in the " Plague's" organ , TheSlnffOrdshire Examiner , save that it smacks a hetle too strongly of Baillie Jabvey's " het poker . " That j from a newly converted Whig is a thing of course ;' and it was beside so nicely " bevilJed off" that it !
ntfght pass , upon the whole , for a very capital j initiatory Whig-Chartist introduction to the school ! of peaceful agitation . Take a sample of it from the Plague ' s organ : — "From all he had witnessed during his time , he was now convinced that the representative system j was defective ; and that nothing but a full , fair , and free representation of the people could lead them to i hope for any justice . The legislative and executive ' in this country were based upon the principle of ' aristocracy , and that alone . Labour was the only property not recognised by rho constitution . The principle of aristocracy had been tried and found , wanting , The intelligence of the age had condemned it . The aristocracy bad cried " no
surrender . " Let the people shout back again " to the pr inciple of aristocracy no quarter "—( loud cheers . ) The repeal of the Corn Law wculd give them the key of the cupboard ; but "Universal Suffrage would give them the key cf the whole house—( great cheering ) . They had that day fully arid fairly taken up that , question ; and it would be for them to say whether thay were to go on with it —( cheers , and cries of " yes , yes ") . Let them remember that they had tried the constitution , and the pinch-point musi come soon . They all felt that they were upon the eve of great events —( hear , hear ) . Men had begun to contemplate things that were not talked about . Ho was not an advocate lor physical force ; but there must be a nr ^ 'hey change , or the bonds of society will be broken a .-under . " '
Now we ask gravely if a fairer seeming could be asked for by the people than that which this meeting exhibits of a hearty co-operation of the " plague" men with the Chartists , a determined effort for " full , fair , and free representation" I So adroitly were all things managed that Ditty who was there jaid that : — " Ho and his brother Chartists had come there that day determined , if any trickery had been practised , to aoye an amendment ; but when he saw
men comicg out honestly and justly , as the gentlemen around him had done , to obtain their rights then he" would say all opposition oughs to cease—to be buried and forgotten for ever , lie would say , let them be peaceable , loyal , and just , above all things ; and constitutionally attend to their own rights . Let them go forth , and they would obtain the Charter . LeJ every man present join the Charter Association . He was proud to see the unanimity ihat prevailed amongst the middle and working classes of this town . "
Certainly if anything betoken unanimity , and be calculated to give the appearance of sincerity to : the proceedings of the " Plague" men , this meeting did do so . What is the fact ? What were its results 1 Did it end in the whole bevy of " respectable" middle class " Plague" men going down to tho Chartist rooms and enrolling their names as members ? Weie the subscription lists to all the valuable public Chartist machinery for keeping up the agitation for , and ultimately securing " full ,
free , and fair representation , as defined by the People ' s Charter , ' immediately swelled out with the eontribuiions of ( heir new-born allies , that the mutual desire mii ; ht bo speedily accomplished ? Not a bit of it ! It ended in Mr . Kettle ' s going down to the Chartist Room to tell the people honestly that his speech in the afternoon had been " all gaaamoa ; " thai ; notwithstanding Ms hatred of class legislation , asd his anxiety for tho principles of the Charter , he had no purpose to have any . other connection with the Chartists than to use
them as tools for the carrying of Corn L « f Repeal Hear him , a 3 reported by the " Plague ' s ! ' o&an : — " Mr . Kettle proceeded to state that he was reluctantly compelled to harbour such misgivings as to prevent his formally joining the National Charter Association , until he should be better satisfied as to iia Executive . He told them that he held in his hand a publication bearing the authority of Feargus O'Connor , which convinced him that that individual vrss an enemy to free trade , and one by , or with whom , no Corn Law Repealer , desiring to adopt the Charter as a means to an end , coald consent to be led or allied . Mr . Kettle then proceeded to read and comment on several of the extracts from the
Untitled Article
Northern Stony which , will be found in our leading article ; and conoluded by declaring that , as he could not consent to attach himself to a party by whose recognised heads the motives and efforts of the free traders were abused , and by whom free trade itself was condemned , he must receive an unequivocal assurance that the Chartists bound themselves to no men ( Feargus O'Connor , or any one else , ) who pursued that course ; but that , on the contrary , they renounced the influence of . all Buch persons , before he ( Mr . Kettle ) would complete the compact at issue . "
Now , whether is this fellow a greater knave or fool ? He professes to seek the Charter as a means to an end ; that end being the repeal of the Corn Laws ; he avows his conviction that the Corn Laws cannot be repealed until the people have that "full , free , and fair representation , as defined by the People ' s Charter , to which they arc entitled by the Constitution ; " ho avows his conviction that the Corn Laws produce all the distress of the country ; that they must be repealed , and that they never can be -repealed until the Charter has been got ; and yet he refuses to go for the Charter ,
because Feargus O'Connor , and the Northern Star , and some other parties , have denounced the "Plague" as insincere in their agitation ] Could he have furnished better evid ence of that insincerity ; at all events as far as he is concerned ? If the Charter be the only means for Repeal ing the Corn Laws , and if the Repeal of the Corn Laws be the one great thing wanted , what need he care about any misoheivous influence of O'Connor and the Northern Star ! Surely the whole League , with its mighty array of " influence" and talent , and wealth , and its many , very many " best possible
instructors , are more than sufficient to counterbalance any nugatory influence which might be exercised by one man and one newspaper ! Where then is the mighty boggle I The rogues know that they dont mean to go for the Charter at all ; that they mean only , if possible , to " gammon the flats , " and they know that while the influence of Feab « us and the Star continues they oan ' t do it ; they will be too closely watched ! Hence the organ of this Mr . Kettle , the "Plague" man—the Staffordshire
Examiner , —in the very same paper which reports this meeting , oocupies fanr mortal columns , exactly oneseveuth part of hi 3 whole paper , with a laboured and most villanousJy Jesuitical justification of the course pursued by Mr . Kettle , designed to quieten the consciences of the more honest of their followers , and to persuade them that though they voted for the Charter , and introducod it into their memorial to gull the Chartists ; that though they have : —
"Apparently ( tho italics are his own ) extended the right hand of political fellowship and bent the knee of political obedience to the disciples and paid agents of the monopoly-supporting Feargus O'Connor— to the approvers of the ^ blood-spilling Frost , Williams , and Jones , and to th * e perpetrators of the Tory-fermented disturbances at anti-Corn Law meetings . * * * ; . *• ¦•¦ * * The rational and consistent Reformers of this borough arc no more Chartists or less resolute Corn Law Repealers than ever they were "
Now , then , Chartists ! what say you to your new allies ? Did we not tell you that they were " pigs with soaped tails" * ! Wolverhampton is not the only instance of this honourable dealing of the new converts to Chartism and "Complete Suffrage . " At Huddersfield , in like manner , they sought to carry with them popular support by uniting the Suffrage with the Corn Law question , in precisely like manner—as a means to an end . Their sincerity here , as at Wplverliamp * ton , appears in its true light when viewed in connection with the following placard , plentifully distributed on the day of meeting : —
" Corn Law Repealers . —Whatever resolutions you adopt this evening , respecting the Suffrage , take care that you do not let that question take the place of Free Trade and Cheap Bread . If you should sink agitation for the Repeal of the Bread Tax , in agitation for the extension of tua Suffrage , that Tax , with all its disastrous consequences , must continue for some years . But if you can honestly and cordially unite for an agitation of the two objects distinct , you are sure to succeed o getting rid of the bread tax in a very short time . "
However , the Huddersficld" lads" met them well and braveJy ; their " Complete Suffrage" humbug , with which they hoped to get in the thin end of the wedge , was rightly shivered by Clayton , with his amendment" That it is the opiniouofthis meeting , that to securo a real , 'full , freo , and fair representation of the whole people in the Csmmons' House of Parliament , ' the whole of the principles contained in the People ' s Charter , viz : Universal Suffrage , "Vote by Ballot , Annual Parliaments , No Proparty Qualification , Payment of Members , and Electoral Districts , must become the law of tho land , the whole of which are requisite and necessary to secure a real and efficient representation . "
The people showed that this was their opinion by leaving the humbugs with just four hands to clap each other , and keep out the cold for their " Complete Suffrage" move . The thin end of the wedge having been thus disposed of , Clayton again let fall the sledge-hammer of Chartism upon the thick end by moving , as an amendment to Mr . Copstack ' s motion for a continuance of the Corn Law agitation , " That the agitation for the whole Charter take precedence of all other agitations . " This floored tho hypocrites at once , and left honesty triumphant . So let it be in every place and our cause is safe , and liberty shall shortly greet us with her invigorating smile .
We are happy to perceive that our counsels have not been slighted . The people have , in almost every place , recovered the falso step they made in one ov two places , of joining with the traitors . The Merthyr Tydvil people , at a full meeting , hold on Monday evening , resolved" That every approach towards an union with the Corn Law League must bo regarded as a direct step towards a betrayal of the Chartist cause ; and that every public meeting which neglects to affirm tho adoption of the People's Charter as tho only remedy for the distresses of the people must be considered as compromising the great right of the working classes to a share in the making of the laws . "
This is the true position for the people ; and the only safe one . A&d though in one or two places the English Chartists have suffered their national failing of good nature and unsuspeotingnes 3 to betray them half into the toils , the Scotch lads are " wide awake " to it . ' All glory to the men of Dundee ! The " canny Scots" have done it well ! We have seldom been more delighted than we were on reading the report which appears in our present paper of the utter overthrow , discomfiture , and annihilation of the " corn craiks" by the "bonuie lads" of Dundee . They were , indeed , well m 9 t ! Every fold of the foul serpent was laid open—every trick
foiled ; a more perfect triumph could hot have been obtained ; nor do we ever remember to have seen a display of more wily and well arranged tactics than those of the Anti-corn Law men on this occasion . They first felt their May through the medium of their friends , the " complete suffragists "—they then tried f : the artful dodge" of moving resolutions merely de . nunciatory of the evils of bad legislation , without pledging * even to any future line of conduct , in the Iiope of getting the blind side of the meeting by embodying , not the resolutions , but the spirit of the resolutions , in the memorialthe formal voice of the meeting ; which would have
enabled them to breathe into those resolutions the foul spirit of patchwork , in the form of an exclusive or unduly prominent prayer for Corn Law Repeal . It was a deep trick , well played , and cleverly stopped . We fear nothing for tho people with bo much quickness and good sense about them , as this and tho Huddersfield meeting shew . We defy any set of sophists , or tricksters in the world , now , to " palaver" them out of their watchfulness . They will keep to the right road , and they will compel all travellers to go with them or stand out of the way .

f What breast-plate Iike-a heart untainted ? Thrice he is armed who hath his quarrel just , And he but naked though lock'd up in steel , Whoae conscience with injustice is corrupted . " Brother PEMOCRATS .- ^ It is my painful duty to address you upon , matters appertaining to myself ; a task , to the man of sense always unpleasant , but the more so , when , as in the present case , duty , not only to myself , but to the cause of democracy , demands that I should epeak of others also , who are employed ia sapping the strength of our organization , by calumniating the characters of those in whom the people confide , and look up to as their leaders in their struggle for right and justice ; ^
A few remarks upon tbe proceedings at the late meeting in Paradise-square , ore necessary ; at that meeting Messrs . O . tlejr and Gill supported a resolution for universal suffrage and the ballot ; 1 seconded an amend - ment for the Charter , whole and entire , which , thanks to the sound principle and sterling honesty of the people was carried by a triumphant majority . By way ef excusing themselves for the false position they had taken up , Messrs . ptley and ( Jill stated that the resolution which they supported had been promised tupport by myself and others , and that we afterwards retracted that promise ; that they , Messrs . Otley and Gill being honourable men , valuing their reputation arid their word , would not do the same , hence they supported the resolution . Now hear the facts of the case . .: ^ ¦ . ¦ ¦ : ¦¦ ; ., ¦ ' ¦ •'• ¦ ¦ . ¦ . ¦ ¦¦ . ¦' :
It is true that on the Tuesday eve preceding the meeting in the Square , a hasty and reluctant assent was given by certain members of the council to the said resolution ; but the folly of the step was seen almost as soon aa taken , and at a general meeting of the council held next dayi it was resolved that the sense of the Association at large should be taken that evening , and that , in the interim ; the hasty and ill-advised decision of the previous evening should be annulled . A meeting of members and friends of the Association took place in the evening , at which , there could not have been less than five hundred persons present , when , with the exception of three or four individikls , the said resolution was unanimously condemned , and it was resolved that an amendment for the whole Charter should be proposed whenever the meeting ( not then announced ) should take placd .
Messrs . Otley and Gul condemn the council fox having first promised a certain thing and then retract ing their promiso . The doctrine of these gentlemen is , that the council having dono a certain thing , no matter whether right or wrong , the Association ia bound to submiti a doctrine more subversive of the .. «* sovereignty of the peeple , " was certainly never yet broached by Whig or Tory . Suppose we had a House cf Commons elected by Universal Suffrage , who , in their legislative capacity wero guilty of some erroneous or tyrariical act , according to Messrs . Otley and Gill the people are boucu
to submit because they have elected that : House of Commons , I think different ;; my creed is , that the people can never be divested , or divest themselves of their natural and rightful sovereignty , and that when their representatives foil to do right it is the prerogative of the people to over-rule their decision . Acting upon these principles , the Council submitted their vote to the Association ; by it that vote was condemned . The course to be pursued was marked out by the Association ; and , iu taking the part myself and others did take in the Square , we but obeyed the voice , and carried out the will of the people ,
M essrs . Otley and Gill would ftin have had you believe that it ' was a high sense " . -. of honour pn their part that compelled them , to support the Whig-concocted resolution ; to believe them , they expected help instead of opposition from myself and those who attsd with me . 3 weet innocents !

O ; was requested to summon his Council or Association for that evening , to know tbe decision of the Assotlat oa meeting in Fig-tree lane Here was due notice given to Mr .

lama . What did Mr . Otley do ? Did he come to the meeting in Fig-tree Lane , to learn tha ¦ entiments of the people ? No j bnt a meetingwas ^ ^ field at the " Political Institute , " and the parties there assembled Were , by Messrs . pfcley , Gill , and Co ., pledged t * rapport the humbug resolution . ' '' ¦¦ : "¦ '• ¦¦ - ¦ : ¦ , - X But i ; maintain , that indepepdeat of the decision of the Association , the council was not bound to abide by its original vote ; that vote was agreed to upon certain conditions , the conditions were , that the Com Law Repealers * as a body , should give their support to the resolution ; waa those conditions fulfilled ? NO ! True the resolution was supported by Mr . Palfreyman , ( where , —aye where is Holberry ?) - * by the illustrious Mr . Wardle , by the patriotic Mr . Harvey , of Chartist
Camp-meeting notoriety , who has been " all things by turns and nothing long , " and by certain " go-betweens , " to wit , Mr . "Naw-move" Allen and Co . But , did Mr . Ibbetspnand the other " great gnus" of the Anti-Corn Law men promise their support of the resolution ? ( Mr . Ibbettson will tell you , you are " too ignorant for the suffrage . *) Did the DOdy of the Corn Law Repealers promise their support ? Bid , or will , their organ the Independent , give the ^ resolution / itssupport ? No ! no ; Ifrre then the original conditions were not complied wttb . Mes 8 rs . Otley and GUI knew this ; what humbug then on their part it was to talk their high-flown stuff about '' honour" and " reputation , " when , as their acts testify they were consigning you over to the Whigs , who would deceive and betray yon again , as once too often they have done before . '
I have now a few words with Mr . Gill patticnlarly To believe this gentleman he is the most disinterested of politicians , and altogether above the thought of living by agitation , or accepting of anything from the people in return for his very important service ? . I do not think this gentleman worth any recrimination on my part , or I might show that Mr . Gill ' s services have not been , and are not of that disinterested character he would fain have the public believe . Mr . Gill thought proper to denounce me as being the paid tool of Feargus O'Connor . On the spot , and before he had time : even to turn round , I challenged him-to meet me at the close of the business for which tbe meeting had been convened , and there make good , if he could , his insulting calumny ; but , where was he when called for ? The bird was flown ; like some » rialsprite he had vanished ! " Tell it not in . Gatb , ' the valiant denuhciater bad prudently withdrawn by a back dosr . ' .- ¦ ' ' -. ¦ ¦ '' - ' :. ' ¦ . ¦ ' .

My friends , it is quite true , that I am employed by Mr . Q f Gonnor as reporter , or comspondent for the Northern Star , an occupation ef which 1 am not at all ashamed . 1 maintain I have as much right to receive ; payment in return for my services , as any cutler has to receive his " wages at the close of his week' s work . What sort of a tool I am to Mr . O'Connor , I leave you to judge , when I solemnly assure yon that during the six : months , I have filled the situationr I at present hold , I have not received 4 . single letter , or Bolifcary line of a letter from Mr . O'Connor . Mr . Gill has boasted , in his private ceteries , of what he could do—and what he would do ; that he could make me a pill I would not swallow , &c &c . I now tell him that my publie and private character will both dare and bear comparison with his . I repeat my challenge , if he has any charges to prefer against me , let him meet me in Paradise Square , and there , before the great body of the peeple will I confront him .
Mr . Otley , too , has made more free than welcome " with my name ; but , wiser in his generation than his f i iend Mr . Gill , he has confined his slanderous statements to his own shop . I know that he has repeatedly slandered me as being , or having been " in the pay of theTories . " ; ;• : ; At last I have the means of naming time and place . In his own shop , eri Tuesday , the 16 th of Februaiy , he there stated , in the presence of the under-named persons , " That Harney * and other Chartist ; leaders , were , or had been , in the pay of the Tories ; that he strongly suspected O'Connor was in their pay ; and always had suspected it since he wrote his letters to the Irish Landlords . " The persons who will testify to the foregoing , are Messrs . Clarkson and Fry , of Sheffield , an * Mr . Wm . " JohesVthe Nor th-Riding Ledtui-er . - I shall be very : brief with Mr . Otley ; I defy him to prove the truth of his dirty calumny .
Let me whisper a word of cautiou to Mr . Otley . If his coijtemptibiecry- ^ " in the pay of the Tories" is continued to be raised against honest men , it may be that the parties raising that cry , will themselves be suspected by the people of being in the pay of the wiii gs ! ' ¦ ¦ - . ¦ •¦ . ¦ . ¦ / ¦ ¦/ . . -: ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ . ¦; ¦ :, : ¦¦ . - .. ¦ . ¦ . - ¦ ' . ¦ ¦' . . Brother Democrats , why am I Slandered as being « ' in the pay of the Tprleai . ' ? ' " : Because I will riot do the " pirty work of the Whig ? . Wbjr am I denounced as being the" paid tool of Feargns O'Connor ? " Because I will not be the " tool" of the humbugs who would sell yon to the bloodiest and most hypocritical-, of factions that ever cursed a country with their existence . . - '¦¦ ¦¦ : ¦ . ¦ ¦¦ ' . ¦ ¦ .- ¦ - - ¦ ' " . - - .. - : r y - ¦¦ ' :
Friends and Brother Chartists the foregoing will have shown you that while the blowsof faction are seemingly aimed at me , they are intended to strike down ono higher abd of more importance to the cause than myself ; it is your incorruptible , unflinching champion O'Connor , whom these factionists would destroy . Thank God they will miserably faiL But "to be forewarned is to be fore-armed . " Can these men be Chartists who would destroy him who has braved the storm of persecution , and resisted every seduction to betray you ? No , brothers , no ; his enemies and denunciators are not to be trasted . they are Whiggis ' i tothe hearts' core .
Look at tho Indepextdentot Saturday last ; see ^ the contempt with which those who really represented you at the Paradise Sqnare meeting aTe treated ' while Blister Otley and Mister QUl are held up as the leaders of " the intelligent division of the Chartists of Sheffield . " I wish these gentlemen ( the aforesaid ilislers ) joy of the raptures they must feel in the embrace of their new " doxy , " the loathsome old hag , Whiggery .: - - . ' * " - ¦ - .: - . - ;; ' : . - : ¦ ; C' ^ - ' . " :. ' ¦ ' ¦' ¦ , . ; ,. ? ¦ - Brother democrats , from the first day I set foot in
Sheffield , to the present hour , my destruction has been sought by the faction meeting at the Whig trap , alias the Political Institute . 1 have tried concession and conciliation too long . Henceforth , I treat them as ( what I take them to be ) enemies of the cause and of myself . With my past public life , and my every act and word , since I became a resident in Sheffield * to testify to my intejgrity , I hurt defiance ^ in their teeth , and rely with fall confldence upon tae eupport of the people , in whose service I have struggled and suffered , whose cause I have never betrayed .
To conclude , never in the annals of our movement Btood Chartism in the proud position it now occupies ; but beware , lest this seeming hour of our triumph should be the hour of out fail . The middle class are becoming converts to our principles . Good . But , see that they become real , not shani converts . If they propose to go with you for one jot less than the whole Charter , have nothing to do with them . I they swallow the whole Charter , but make it a secendary object to the Corn LawKepeal , have nothing to do with them . If in joining you for the Chartevthey tell you it
is necessary to get rid of your present leaders , " have nothing to do with them ; If they are honest they wi 1 join you for the whole Cbarter— -they will consent to make it the one object of agitation , as a means to nn end—and , lastly , they will be content to fight under those who have been elected the leaders of the people . The middle class are powerless without us . The question then is , shall we put forth our giant strength merely to serve the interests of a class , or to wrest by one God-like effor t the " rights of man , " from those whose empire is built on tho " wrongs of man . " Can you hesitate ? No .
Men of the working class , your delivery is in your own hands—the freedom or slavery of millions yet un ^ born hangs upon your breath . By every principle of vbtue , by all your hatred of slavery , by all your hope 3 of freedom , by all your love of country and children , I invoke yau to be firm , unflinching—in short , to po YpttR pyiY . For myBeif , 1 nail the ^ flag - of '"; No Surrender" to the niast , and though , the good ship Democracy should . sink beneath ; tne fireof open enemies and treacherous friends , my last cry , rineing above the waves of popular delusion should still be " Five , vive taCharle !
