SONG FOB THE MILLIONS , " The system of society in England la one of robbery snfl fraud ; the produce of the land ia swallowed up by tbe ' lean tine' —the locnste' of the earth , in the shape of fcax-imposers and tax-eaters , destroy every green tjjinjr . The rent-mongers , the money-mongers , and the profit-mongers / eai np the eartii , till there is neither place 2 or provender remaining foi Ihs poor . " Editor of Northern Star . Old England . '_ they call thee the land of the free ,
The land of the just , of the rirtnons , and brsve ; And the thema of their songs in their drunken glee 1 b to boist of the succour then giv ' st to the slave . Bat ah ' . they forget ¦ while resounding thy praise , To ' tell cf the seffirings endured on thy soU ; A nd the over-fed drones , ¦ when their voices they raise , Never tTi * "fe on the fats of the poor bom of toil Bui the bar * shall be bold , And the Ule shall be told , And misery no longer -with mockery be treated ;
To all nations on earth , The great truth shall go forth , TCI the League and the lie of the knaves be defeated . 013 England ! theii fulsome laudatiens are lies ; And to boast of their fivedom is wasting of breath . Xh » t country is curs'd "where industry dies . And the labouring slave is starved unto death . And is it not so , " good Old England , " with thee ? Besr -sriusess the records that teem from thy press . It is mockery to call thee tiie Land of the Free—Thro an fill'd -with oppression , and grief , and distress . For class legislation , And grinding taxation , Are rampant and rife in thy odious laws ; The producers of wealth They are starved by stealti , And the tyrants protected from ¦ whence spring the cause .
014 England ! tis true Ihon art fall "n and degraded , With patience thou beaiest foul slavery's brand ; The rights of thy sons are by tyrants invaded , And their minions in live ? y are spread o'er the landj Thy peasantry , famous for true hospitality , Are sunk into paupers 01 starved into graves j Thy ffms'darfne-podcs force -with despot formality 2 Tow rule thss "with rods like a nation c f slaves .

LUTHER , x Poem , by Robeet Mosigomeut , M . A . Author of the Omnipresence of the Ueiiy . ike ilessiah , Satan , &c . London : Frances Baisler , 124 , Oxford-street ; Hamilton , Adams , and Co ., 33 , Paternoster Row ; Tilt and Bogne , 8 S ,
Fleetstreei . It is seldom that we bare risen from the perusal of any -work Trithmorepaia or irore pleasure than we have experienced from this . Knowing ihs author's clerical and political predilections we espected to find bis work breathing a fierce spirit of p-i t v zeal and intolerance , and we were net disappointed . A work ieltsr calculated to foster feelings of malignant hatred and determined persecution , never , in out opinion , issued from the press . We deeply Tegret this . Robert Montgomery te a poet of a very high order . Few men know better how to touch the chords of feeling , or to excite the ce ^ e-p throbbines of 5 \ rnpaihy . Under the magic of his Sowing number ? the
feelings are made captive , while the judgment becomes dazzled and bewildered by the brilliancy of the images , and the out-bursts of &s zeal . That a man , with powers so vast , with energies so uncotqaerable , and with sentiments , in many respects go i * si , should prostitute those powers , energies , aud lentimtnts to the support of any faction is a fact to be deplored by every rightly coE ? - * i : nied mind . We do not here refer to the theological error ? scattered in rsst profusion , through , the psses of " Lather , " directly contrary as some of the dogmas laid dovm sre ; o the sacred Scriptures , and to th 3 comic on reason of mankind , they are only such as might fairly be expected , considering the theological school in
which the anthor has been taught to think and reason . It is , however , satisfactory to Sad those erroneous opiaions more than half neutralised by other portions of the poem . It is the illiberal and the intolerant spirit which pervades every aiinsion to the Church of Rome which constitutes the subject of our censure and disapproval ; and those portion ' s of the work are the more likely to prodnce extensive miseaief , from the apparent candour and liberality with which they are invested . Tie covering is tut flimsy , bnt his quite sifficient to deceive the nnsns- peuing ; who , under the guidance of such a teacher , are likely enough to regard haired to a J ParAstas the most effectnal manifestation of love to ,
Gsd . We are not the apologists of ihe Church of Rome any more than we are blind admirers of the Enpportera of the reform faith . Error has dis-Sgcrad and disgraced the Roman Church io an alaiming extent ; bat we beg to remind her clerical opponents that isey are in no condition to claim the right of throwing stones at their mistaken sister . Someportions of truth are to be found in every sec ion of the Church aniversal , while much error , doctrinal and prac : ical pervades them aB . All , however , would do well , in the midst of their bickerings and controversies , U remember that genuine " charity aerer f&Ueih , but on the contrary beareth , beiieveth , hopeth , and endureih all ibitgs . " Mr . Mott ^ omery ranks high as a philosophical poet ; and yet , in the warmth of party
Eal , he has , in the portions of tee work referring to the times of the Reformation , substituted bold assertion for historical or argomentsiive proof . Proof ; in fact , there is none ; declamation , false premises , and illogical coachzdonsj make ap nearly the whole of this portion of the work . A few scattered facts , chiefly as recorded by Protestant writers , have been , selected , moulded by the author into a form congenial with his preconceived opinions , and thea paraded to the wcrld as the faithful picture of the ancient religion . In justice , however , to that religion , we are bound ! to say that a very lar ^ e portion of the errors ascribed to it in Mr . Montgomery ' s book have been distinctly denied by writers of the Romish communion of approved credit and UBqaestiocable authority .
From these subjects of regret we turn with much pleasure to vhose portions cf the work which relate to Lathers personal character and public conduct . The author trac ? 5 Ma from his chiidhood to his death , and making aVioTracces for sectional bias , the whole review is conduced in a candid , liberal , and impartial spirit . Luther ' s faults are neither concealed nor extenuated . His character , both in its greatness and its littleness status out before us in boli relief , and in eomaaacicg m 3 jes ; r . The author has nor cn : y perused the records aud incidects of the ^ raat refum = r ' = life -with intense interest , but Le has felt taem—bears us back to tie home of his
childhoodhe depicts to us the boy pursuing his stud ?' , and beishg bread from do' ^ r to door . We go > vi : h ban to . the college , we . n-and with him in the library of the University of Urfurth—in that enhsneiag moment when "A volume he opeas , in it = turn arrest ? his aueEtioB . Ke has seen rpthicg ]) ke it to this moiDciiS . He reads the tide—it is a bible ; a rare bou- £ , unknown ai those cays . His iiucre .-r is exci' . f Q to a high degree ; be is overcome with wonder at £ nd : ag mere in the volume than those fragments of ice Gssptls 2 ,-jd Epistles which ihe church had selfceitj ; o ba read in the temples every . Sunday ihrou ^ bout ihe year . " We fallow him to Jtcme , to the Auiru-tme zi Witwnberir . We hear him
m icarstifriLg cenoiiciat : ons proclaim me iniquity of the ssie of indulgences . We sec him fix tua r / ic-ry-gve propositions to the gates of the church ia Wittecber-g . We stand with him in the Hall cf Wm- ? , and we share wKhiim the soiliade of h : s fri-ndly captivity in the Casils of W ^ rtbarg ; thence vre sc-e his bold and dauntless mind exerting its $ n £ ;« nt ! e powers to crush fanatical rebellion in the streets of Wittenberg ; in a word , through every sisge of its career , ihe poet has contrived to lead us till we c ; o ? e his eyes in death , and listen to hi = funeral orations fronx the lips of Ms friend and CJZCy : xoT , the mild and bsne-Tolen : ilelanctfioa . A ? a p ' -.-c- - of poetical biography thi > life of Luther stanc . ; p ; jiaMv in the nrs . rank . Bui it is in those porucU < A the book , which treat of the providential governs ^ : of God and the hopt 3 ind destinies of the huuaa rac * , that we feel the
most unmirgied satiefsc-. ion snd delight . Here the Reverend author Las ascended to a height far beyond : ihe narrow boundaries of political psrtisanship and sectarian creeds . He t 2 ! -: es an enlarged view of ] famsan progress ; c ^ ch ohjf ci in the world of serso is k » his enlightenc-d cor ; c ? ptiun an outtirth and an ; anage of the wcrld of mind ; he sees God in every-1 itiDg ; and in ibe light of revelation refers every- ; toing to God . The sceptic and the mere material \ jiiiosophei- are confounced by tne bTilliSBC } " 01 Ms \ tsiicepuoiis and the fcrce cf ' his irreBiatible argu-i Beats ; while the mkts of his ovrn sectarraa error .

Extraordinary Mistake . —On Friday last , a farmer , named Castles , residing within two milea south of St . Alban ' s , on going to look at twelve ewes which he had put into a small enclosure , and expected booh to lamb , was 6 t&rtled at not finding them there ; and observing that a hurdle had been removed , and that there were footmarks near , he presumed they had been stolen . No time was lost in despatching six men and twfr boys on horseback , to look after the lost sheep , AU their endeavours were in vain , until night , when one of the men accidentally met with a youth , named Hawkins , who stated that his father had twelve sheep which did not belong to him ; that ho had employed a man named Bennett , a shoemaker , to drive some Bheep home for him , who , he supposed had exchanged for a better lot . It being night , fears were entertained
that the sheep could then be identified , and Hawkins promised to take care of them until the morning . The loser made immediate application to the maker of solas , to know whence he got the ' sheep , when the following strange account was elicited : —He said he had been employed to drive twelve sheep from St . Alban ' s to Barnett , and having called at a public-house to refresh himself , he left the sheep to go on , intending to follow them after he had taken his beer . When he came out he walked along the road about a mile , without seeing them , and then , turning down a lane , he looked through a hedge , and saw twelve sheep in a field , and he pulled down a hurdle and lei them out .

There were teveral employed at the time ; all of whom contrived to escape except the unfortunate deceased , who when dug out was found to be quite dead . He had only been employed on the line the day before . On Saturday an inquest was held on the body , and a verdict of" Accidental Death " WiS recorded . On Thursday last , a deplorable accident took place on the North Union Railway , whereby a policeman , named Robert Splain , lost his
life . At absut eight o'ciock at night some persons passing along the line near the town of Capel were alaimed by hearing groan 3 . proceed from the railway , and on going in the direction , discovered the unfortunate man Splain lying , apparently dead , between the rails , with his right foot severed from his leg , and his left hand cue completely off . He wasinstantlytakenup , and immediatoJy conveyed to the Capel Station , where he died in a few minutes afterwards . From the evidence adduced before the inquest , which was held on the following day , there was every reason to suppose that he met with tho accident " by a luggage train that passed along the line a few minutes before he was discovered as
above-mentioned . The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death . " On the fame day a fatal accident happened on the Northern and Eastern Railway , close at the station of Sawbridgeuorth . Tho unfortunate individual who lost his life was an elderl y man named James Brown , a shoemaker living at Sheering , in Essex , who went to tho station to see a friend off by the train to London ; while standing on the platform fronting the station he was seizt 3 d with an epileptic fit , and fell on the rails at the moment the train was starting , which passed over his body just above the abdomen , producing almost instantaneous death . Ou Saturday , Mr . Lewis , the Coroner for Essex , held an inquiry into the case , and a verdict of ' Accidental death" was returned .

1 . " That there are serious ohjectiens to the proposed constitution of tbe Board of Commissioners for carrying 5 n * : o effect the Leeds Improvement Bill now before ParJi :: mfnt arising from the contemplated mixture of persons delegated by different bJdies , from the unnecessary rnmber on the Board ; and from the impeifect airac-tmeiits for the election of a poition of commifisiorjers by inhabitants liable to be voted . " 2 . " That tbe Town Council is iu every respect qualified to undertake the duties intended to be imposed by the proposed Imtroiement Act ; that the ves-tiag such powers in their hand 3 would save the inhabitants the trouble and inconvenience of s separate election of commissioners ; and tbat it does not appear there eould be any body better constituted for those purposes .

3 . " That as regards several of the objects of the proposed Act -which properly belong to the municipal government cf the borough , and the administration of vrhich , in the bends of any other parties , would be liable to Uiteifere with the r . ecessary functions cf the Council , it is esses tial that the powers to be conferred by the Act should be vested in the Town Council alone .

Public Meetin G O F The Ratepayer S Of Shoreditch.
PUBLIC MEETIN G O F THE RATEPAYER S OF SHOREDITCH .
The above ' . meeting was held on Wednesday evening ¦ week , at tbe "Vestry room of St . Leonard ' s , Shqredlteh . The Senior Churchwarden , Mr . Woodcock , was culled to the chair , and the Vestry Clerk having read the requisition , which was nuuieronsly and respectably signed , calling upoa the inhabitant ratepayers to assemble and take into consideration , the document called the People ' s Charter j it was proposed that the meeting should adjoura to the spacious rooms at the Workhouse , Kingsland-roael . This was unanimously agreed to , and at half-past , six the Churchwarden resumed the chair ; the meeting at this period was very numerously attended , a considerable proportion being of that class usually denominated middle-men .
Mr . DYS 0 N was called upon to move the first resolution . He was sincerely desirous of abolishing that system of . cLisa legislation , which shattered and fettered the industry of the country . By class legislation was meant that system of Government where the laws were framed for the benefit of particular classes , instead of looking to the benefit of the whole . Under the jresent system the aristocracy was well represented ; tbe manufacturing and commercial interests partially ; whilst the interest of the labourer received no legislative protection . Some few years ago , a partial change ¦ was maiie by the Kuform ' Bill , which had benefitted a
few classes , but it . had signally failed iareiuov . fag the grievances of class legislation . Mr . Dyson then went i nto an explanation of the six points of the Charter , which embodied what in his opinion , were the unalienable rights of man . We were groaning under many bad laws ; there was one party complaining of the Poor Laws , another of the Corn Laws , and another of the Income t ± x , but we BbouW never get rid of ' them until we were fairly represented , and tue agitation for them separately only served to delay the progress of the important question . He should conclude by moving the following resolution : —
" That in the , opinion of this public Vestry , the alarming distress which now prevails throughout .-the country has been caused by the bad infra , and legislative mismariagtment of our present legislators , and that the only remedy for tbo present By / stem of class legislation , is by giving to tho people a full , fair , . rad free representation which will restore trade to a safe basis , ensure plenty to . the operative , protection to the capitalist , aurt prosperity to the country . Mr . ElgaR had great pleasure in seconding the resolution . They might rest assured that no good laws would be enacted until the Whole people were represented ; those who now sent representatives , sent those men who would loek to their interest regardless of the general benefit of the country . Thousands , yea
millions , were actually starving for Want of the common necessaries of life i were willing to work , but utterly unable to obtain it . This distress had now reached the middle class , and it was their boundsn duty to unite with the working men to give to all that political power to wkich by nature they were entitled . They ( the middle class ) must of necessity come over to us and agitato for this great principle , and we shall then bp ai >! e to gut up such an amount of public opinion as shall force the government to -accede to our demands If the working men were represented in the House of Commons , did thsy suppose that many of them would be dying , as our coroners' inquests now proved , that they were , of hunger and starvation in our streets ? No , they would then elect men Who would legislate for the good of the whole people .
Mr . QfLIiM . AN said he never rcsa to address an assembly with greater pleasure in his life . The lastmeetiug held in that-place : was for a repeal of the- 'Cora . laws . Ho had great pleasure in expressing his sentiments at that time . Ho considered those laws to be a monstrous grievance ; but another and afar greater grievance w ; is , that every inan in that rooni was not allowed a vote the same as he had himself . What was in his person or in bis purse that SttOUld CUtitle him to a pro-eminence over hi 3 feUotr men ? He was the oldest of five brothers , nit one of whom , save himself , had a vote . : Wby should thoy be deprived of that to which they were equally entitled as himself ? He had assisted in the agitation for the Reform Bill , but he never intended to stop there Lord Finality was not the whole world , ihat Bill was
only carried from a dread of the millions taking what they at last thought it prudent to grant . He did not belong to tbe Charter . Association , but he thought he should take out bis cud that night . He thought it was high time that the middle class should join them ; distress would shortly force them to it . He knew that both Whigs and Tories wore eick of their associates ; if they yrero not they had ought to be ashamed of it Could a Chartiat Parliament do worse than tney bad done ? It was their birthright they wero contending for , and without representation they were tbe-Vi-iitst of slaves . Tho spe . -iktr then detailed instanci-s in which he had been deprived of customers
through voting according , to his conscience ; the right of voting was now vested in a very incompetent ciass ; it could not be worse under any system . The same prejuclice once existed against a Kadical as there was now againfct a Chartist Many Well-iueauing nien had greatly interested themselves in freeiug the blacks—let Vaera enfranchise tue . white slaves" of England . It would not cost tweuty millions ; they were honest , industrious , and patient ; aye , too patient , or they would never have submitted t' » be robbed of their all , by aclass who earned nothing whilst they themselves produced everything . The resolution was then rpad by the Clerk , and carried with four dissentient ? .
Mr . Brows stated , that he lose t > move for their adoption , a resolution embodying the six points of the Chatter , aud should attempt to give a brief explanation of each partieular head . Mr . B thon showevi , from ancient authorities , that Universal Suffrage-was aright which the people of this country once possessed . The Government insti tuted police and other foieeij , to protect proper ty , but they gave no protection to ihe"Siit frago , which was more valuable than propevfcy , which was equal in value to life , for 'without , that you are bought and sold as mere slaves . They demand the Ballot to protect the Suffrage ; with ' regard to the ' -Property QualiBcatioa , it mattered not how , great an intellect a man might possess , it wa 8 of no avail unless he also possessed a Ionic purse . He was perfectly convinced that
there were many men , of brighter talent among the working classes , than could be found among their legislative bodies . Many < f the moat talented men irv that House were compelled to resortto unprincipled means —to resort to the Jews at St . Wary Axe , . . for '^ qualification btfore they could sit in that House . Parliainects could now ait for Btven years , and if Sir Robert had his way , no doubt the present one would ; but if thry were united it would not sit six months ? Did they think . Annual Parliaments would cause confusion ? If they did , he was convinced they had not examined theCharter , or they would find it to be ijupofisible . He would dare to assert that , under the Charter , ah election would take place with far less confusion than . was created by their election of Guardians the other day .
Mr . Brown then went into several of the ruiiiute details of the Charter , and the mode of conducting elections . He was sure they could not object to payment of members ; every , man was werthy of his hire , and the Parliaments ) , being annual , if they disapproved of a man ' s conduct ^ they could pay and discharge him . It was probable , too , that they might elect men from the anvil , the bench , or the loom , and bright men bad been produced from aU stations in society ; but this they could not do unless they paid them . He bad heard it whispered , that the firat thing a Chartist Parliament would do would be to vote themselves a large salary , and to increase it when they liked . He believed
this was a joke ; but as the sum was not fixed in the Charter , he trusted the Convention , at their ensuing meeting , would settle it . The speaker theii ably explained the remaining two points , and Stated it as his opinion that , ; under a Chartist Parliament , the present Corn Laws would not be retained twenty-eigtt hours ; but it was impossible to repeal them with the House of Parliament constituted as at present . The Chartists had manfully maintained . -their position ; they had fought , aye , and bled in the good came . Persecution had only increased their numbers . The People ' s Parliament would speedily assemble in London ; he trusted their decisions would be guided by wisdom and energy . They should soon see such a procession in the

streets ' of . .-London , as had never before been , witnessed ; such a demonstration o ' f itren ^ th as would prove they were ^ determined no longer to submit to the present tyrannic system . ' . If the people were unanimous , they would give to their Convention , such a power aa would enable it . to crash every vestige of tyranny . He begged to move the following resolution : — " ¦ That in the opinion of this pitblic vestry , every individual of sound mind , unconvicted of crinis , who hits attained the age of twenty-one years , and resided for three months in one flxed : residence , ia entitled to
exercise the franchise in electing Members of Parliar ment ; that to give the electors the free use of this power , they niust be in possession of the ballot ; that to render their representatives responsible to theirconititu ent 8 , Parliament 3 mu 8 tbeeleetedaDnua'ly ; that aa wealth confers neither iHtelligeuce or ability , the absepce of it denotes not the want of those qualities , and therefore there should be -no property qnali'flcation ; that the representatives should be paid a limited amount for their services ; and that the country should be divided into equal electoral districts ; and this meeting pledges itself not to cease in its exertiona until all these points shall become the law of the land . "
Mr . Booth seconded the resolution . Being one of the working millions Of this country ^ he was deeply interested in this questiou , and not only him but the whole * f . his order , and he was prepared ^) stand by that order . He considered that on many grounds a change was . necitsssry . ^ The Duke a ? Wellington had said that the constitution was perfect ; that if he had to frame one , though despairing of equalling it . he should endeavour to imitate it He was cf an opinion , tbat if the Duke of . Wellington ..-had been a son of toil ; if he bad shared the calamities and privations of the working classes , he would have entertained a very different opinion ; the present system had driven millions of their fellow , countrymen to : the very verge sf starvation , and the man , tho statesman , -was . not alive that
couia produce a remedy fo * this distress , without he effected a radical change in the Constitution i . tmat ^ tered not how gigantic mi ght be his Intellect , how great hi 3 moral character , how sincere hi 3 anxiety for their benefit , it was < . f no avail without a great political change . The resources , the wants of the country had outgrown its old worn-out Constitution ; and unless that Constitution was altered , the good old ship Britannia would soon be lost among the b eakers . Look at our population in the manufacturing districts ; why , they were living in holes worse than the slaves whom the planters confined in crossing the Atlantic . We have tried the two factions long and often , and he must be blinded by prejudice , must be incapable , of exercising his judgment who cm look with
compiacency upon their actions . When have they ever attempted to do anything for the good of the public ? Nevpr ; but when any question of party strife was ou the tapis , they rushed to the House in a manner which would disgrace an . Indian -wigwam assembled over their couucil-fire . He had nsver placed any reliance upon the Reform Bill . He had felt convinced that nought would be done far the millions until they are represented equally with other classes . The man who talks of extending the Suffrage to mo insulta me . I have , as much right to talk of extending it to hiin ; he can know but litta of the principles or feelings of humanity ; the priuclplea of tyranny are fast waning away . Notwithstanding our wretched condition , hope still animates
our bosoms from the fact that the rulers of our destinies are brought to a stand still , ' . . thg " system has worked out its own destruction . Do you think that the Chartists could do worse than tha Whigs and the Tories have done ? if tht-y did , it must be under the special auspices of ; t couuqil from Pandemonium ; { he very name of tbe Charter carries on its face honesty of purpose , its principles are those of reason and of justice , impartial ) y meted out to all meo . He was not surprised that the : aristocracy were fearful that their deeds of blood and injustice should be retaliated ; bnt they need hot be alarmed , they need not raise the cry of spoilation ; for though , they have actud worse by the revenue . ; of this nation than ever tha most reckless spendthrifc did by iijs own , yet we will not retaliate ; it is our interest t'iat all classes should enjoy safety and prosperity ; but if things ara to remain in their present position ^ it were far better to go back again to a state
ot nature and subsist upon tho fishery and tho chise . He would quqte from tho Bible , for he was proud to acknowledge that he put unlimited fdith in that old book , and there he . found'it written that it was betta ; to die of the svrord than of hun ^ r ; it would be aluiost an act of niercy to put to death thousands of his distressed starving fellow men , and though he was comparatively well , off , yet he should consider himself as something less than a man , as a . cowardly dastard , if he did not exert his every energy in endeaypurinit to obtain the Suffrage to benefit these men . He called upon the middle clasi to come forward and join in the noble cause of giving freedom and prosperity to themselves and their posterity . The Chartar would dispel the thick mists which were gathering round the head ' s of all classes of society , and liberty would be established on a firm biisis , and tyranny disappeat like the mist before the rising sun—( great cheering . )
Mr . pickford agreed with every one of thepointa of . tho ' "Charter > they had been ndvocated by one of the deepest thiukers of the age , Jeremy Bentkatn , and had never been controverted , because truth was incontrovertible ; but , though he agreed with the , Chartists , still , in his opinion , they did not go to the root of the evil . He went still further ; he was a Socialist ; he would give the ¦ women , the Suffrage—tiaughter , and cries of " Hear . " ) But still he would not wish to ttiwirt the Chartists : he would advise them to go on , and ta keep a strict eye upon the middle class—to beware of being cajrled ; and to the men of his own class—the middle class—he would say , that they had now got it in their , power , by joining with the working men , to save their country . If they would not assist them , the men , being driven to . desperation , they would be the first victims , and their blood would be at their own doors . He was not a member of the Chartists , but he admired their principles . ' .. / . . '
The resolution was put and carried with three dissentients , one of whom , be ' known to be a tax-gatherer , gave rise to a little pleasaEtsarcasn * . Mr . Mohris then rose for the purpose of proposing the National Petition ' ,.. Ho did so , because petitioning was the only mode left them of making known their griivauces , and whife they were acting in this legitimate way , he trusted the middle class would cordially uoite and co-operate with them . As an elector and a ratepayer of the parish , he was acquainted with many
of the middle class who professed to be Chartists in principle ; he tiusted that they would come and put their principles into practice . Tho last speaker had advocated their cause , but said ha was not a member ; he would remind him that example was better than precept . Mr . Morris then produced an enamelled and a plain card , teiiing them that one was his Sunday , the other his every-day card ; tho Sunday card would be an ornauitnt to any drawinp-room , and would show that its possessor sympathised with the wants and the distresses ef his feHow-men-7- ! loud cheers . )
The vestry Clekk then moved the National Petition , with an alteration in the heading suitable to the occasion , it being a vestry meeting . George Peaiice , E * q ., ( one of the trustees of the parish ) seconded the petition in a long and able speech in which he stated that he ' was wished by some friends not to second the petition , lest he should disgrace himself , but he approved of 9-lOihs of the sentiments in that petition and therefore supported it . If they disapproved of it , let them have the manliness to vote against it . Mr . Pearce then went into tne evils inflicted by the New Poor Liw Bill , and shewed that equal prejudice had been raised again&t granting M . P ' B to the Metropolitan boi-dughs . Sir Robert ; Peel had . told , him that he would sooner kito the -Kifwrn Bill to the whole
country , than enfranchise the . London Boroughs , as there would then always be radical mcinV era elected close to the seat of Governnierit . He bfclieved that the Chartisr delegates who had been imprisoned in the vaiious gaols had been entrapped by tie Wings . The Whigs got them to do their dirty work , aud thenlik < 8 dirty fellows , turned round and iiiiprisontd . them . If you . do no ' jt get aU you ask , yet by asking ; largely you will gain more than if you had asked less . ; He felt proud of the conduct cf the working classes oii this occasion , it did honour to them , and be was happy to think that the churchwarden had the moi-al courage to take the chair . Miles ' s boy told him that the vicar said the churchwarden had better have been minding hi 3 owii business . He knew it would not have been held if he could have stoppedit .
J . GOi'FE . E ? q .. addressed tho meeting at some length . He approved of every point of the Charted They were tho priuciples of ju-. tice . Theywere renderednecessary hy the tbvilSing want which pervaded the country * but he had some little doubts as to whether Universal Suffrage would not disarrange the balance of power , and swamp the influence of the other classes , of society ; he did not impute any thing wrong or dishonest to the working class « 3 o £ society , but he knew that frosn the experience of all ages , men were liable to abuse the pesaesaion of power ; he hoped ho should be set right en that . ' point . ' . ' . . ¦; . ' Mr . Bbown explained , and In an able manner showed that no danger was to be apprehended from the masses being possessed of political power .
Mr . FhaZIER , in an address of great length , which for eiequence and sonhdDess of argument we neve * heard surpassed , completely thrilled his audience with deligJit ; and ably replied to tho objections of Mr . Go&e . 'On sittiBgdowu he was tremendously applauded . The petition was then putj and carried uranimbusly amid great cheering .. ; . Mr . Bhqwn moved , and Mr . AtGAK seconded , " That it be sighed by the Chairroani engrossed , and presented to the House by Tfapmas Duncombe , M . P . " Carried unanimously . ¦ Mr .
