y ? as it to be eadured < h&t in this beautiful land , blessed 6 y fee Great Giver of all with almost unbounded-fertility , they should be in . their present miserable position ? Talk of West Indian of East Indian , or of African slavery ! Let them look to the Nerth of England , and they -would find they ¦ were in a far worse positionthat the African slave was far happier than the intelligent nsechanift . If this "was to continue they had better return to a state of nature ; but let them only concentrate the intelligence and the energy floating among them—let them perseTere in this good cause , and they would go on conquering and to conquer They would indeed make the land , in the words ef the ' " Great , glorious , and free . "
Be a cknowledged that they were ignorant , 01 they would never hare so long consented to allow another tlass to reap all the benefit of their industry . Bnt they \ jould esdeavour to wipe off this stain frem their character . They wished not to uproot or to injure any class of society—they wished not the poor to make laws to oppress the rich , but to binder the rich from oppressing th * poor ; and if they possessed the minds of Englishmen , if they possessed a spark of the spirit which glowed in their ancestors , they would yet raise themselves into the proud position in which they » ogbt to be placed { great cheering . )
Mr . Pbat stated that it -was quite unexpected that he was called upon to speak to the toast , but it had been so ably entered into by the last speaker as to leave bat little for him to say . The simple language of the toast spoke TOlumes . It embodied a great and important fact—that the labourer was not justly rewarded Those who erected the splendid mansioM , those who decked in their splendour the royal palaces , who created the magniflcienoe which adorned the royal table , who manufactured the beauteous volumes which graced the libraries , which pervaded tha habitation of the aristocracy , were themselves involved in misery and degradation . Even in his own trade many of those whom he now saw around Ww with smiling faces , had a few -weeks previous known the ill effects of
povertybad been ground down to misery and want , from a Want of employment What was the cssse of this anomaly , but that they had allowed a class of society to make the lavs by which they applied the fruits of their labour to their own venal purposes , and thereby kept them in ignorance and degradation , and endeavoured to brutalize their Tny ^ n ^ and then taunted ^ hfttn with , the ignorance they had themselves created . If they wanted labour to be rewarded they must have a voice in the legislature . Those who had tbe power of Toting wera those who had accumulated property , while poverty was confined to those -who -were destitute of this power . The toast also mentioned Ireland . Her sons had also suffered misery and poverty to even a greater degree than the people of England , and it
"was the duty of both to unite t « remove the oppression under which they groaned . Bid they ever hear of the aristocracy quarrelling among themselTes ? Why then were the working men thus disunited ? He did not belifcve that the trades' unions had been completely successful in the object they had in view , but they bad done much good , and he despised that man , who , while he was calling out for political privileges , was working under price and ruining hi 9 brother tradesmen . ( Great cheering . ) He despised the m * n who , while living on the hard earnings of working men , would denounce them for endeavouring to protect Sheir labour . He believed that Trades' Unions were She fathers of the present political movement , and he hoped they would farm one mighty Trades" Union for
tbe attainment of their long withheld rights . What right had a class of men to live upon their only property—their labour ? They tslked about the right of capital ! Labour was the capital of the working man , and yet all the other classes lived in idleness and profligacy ripen the labour of the sens of toil , and perverted the wealthrthns obtained to tbe shameful purposes of bribery and corruption which Mr . Roebuck had so well shewn np in the House of Commons . One great advantage of the Tories being in power was tbe creation of a strong Radical party in that House ; and , if they were backed np by the people , they would increase to a mnth greater degree than at any previous period . It had been thrown in their teeth that they were for despoiling of property ! "Was it likely they
should destroy that which they had laboured to create ? But no state was safe—there eould be no security for property , unless the institutions of the country produced happiness for the people—unless wealth was so distributed as to create plenty amongst those who had created it , provided they did not themselves put a barrier to it by crime or laziness ; but it generally happened that the most intelligent and industrious were tbe worst remunerated , because they were chufly connected with mechanical pursuits . They had been _ snited with ignorance . As far as the trickery of legishSon went , they must plead guilty to that charge ; they had been educated mechanically , and not sufficiently political ; they knew more about a jack plane than about the trickery of politics , or they would have
been "better off . He was far from blaming them for this . He thought the manner in which the working men were now endeavouring politically to educate themsatrea was an honour to them ; they hsd broken down the barriers which excluded them from politics . After a hard day ' s toil , they Were to be seen -wending their way to political meetings ; they were rearing up a young democracy that would in time render England the envy and admiration of surrounding nations . { Hear , hear , and cBeers . ) He "K _ s happy to see the manner in which the females had taken up this question . It had been said that there had not existed a treat or rood man who had not a wise mother : and
it was cheering to think that they shculd soon have a generation of young Chartist Radicals—( bean . It had been said that women bad nothing to do with politics ; but they had to do with whatever affected their interests , —snd politics greatly affected them . Let the females unite their moral force with that of the males , and they would speedQy attain their otgect without physical force . He was opposed to anything like physical force until every moral means had been fairly tried . He believed that even if the Charter was gained , so long as tbe competitive stats of society existed , trades unions would be necessary , and he thought it was the duty of every man to belong to them .
The taast was then drank upstanding , with three times three . 2 * Ir . ~ Royrz responded to tfce toast l > j a song suitable to the occasion . The Chaismas in introducing the next toast made acme excellent observations regarding the protracted struggle of the masons , and cleariy showed that if they had been in possession of political power , the struggle would never have been protracted in the manner in which it bad been ; neither would the masters have been supported by the Government and the aristocracy as zt present .
Dr . M'Docali , had great pleasure in proposing the tallowing toast : —* ' The Charter ; may it speedily become the law of the land , and may all classes of society have spirit and resolution to protect and defend their independence against the powerful attacks of unbridled ambition . " Appearing among them a 3 an invited guest , he trusted he shculd be acquitted of any intention of obtruding his opinions upon their attention , or of occcping that time with politics -which was usually devoted to more general sur jects . It was with great pleasure that he always addressed any trades' body ; bat _ e felt more particularly honoured upon the piestnt occasion , wten the object for-which they had mettiiat of assisting the aged and tie infirm—an object bo gisat , so worthy , and bo good , engaged their attention , be could not suppose that one man present on this
ocemon would oty . ct to the introduction of a sebjtet c _ eukte& to give happiness , prosperity , and liberty to the whole population of the country : he did not believe one among them would object to the toast cf the ChsKtr , which alone was calculated fully to protect labour . If labour was properly protect d , weald the sun which was now shining eo brightly en them shine upon so many broken hearts—so many huts ' of misery and distress ? Why was it not always with tctm like the present honr , positive happiness and joy * if there was one present who thought that his labour -was fully protected , he would point him to the splendid palace he , perhaps , bad assisted to erect ; to the grandeur and beanty of its fretted pillars ; \ j the EiagniiiceiiCe and splendour which reigned within ; and tt _ n look to the destitute homas of those who had
created this splendour . Look at another part of the i * 3 j -srhom he had the honour of addressing—the shipcarpcBUrs , those who reared ihe splendid ship which "w _ ied the wattr like a thing of life ; lt > ok at is in its rctgfe state as the trunk of a tree , every plank having to be adapted by the hand of labour , every bit of © w&age , every spar , its mighty anchor , all had to be Vfrontht by the hand of these despised beings , the working men ; look at the whole of tbe vast and wonfieifnl productions of man ' s labenr , and amidst all ikes * splendid achievements cf industry , have yon — ° fc to go doTTn to the tomb of your forefathers aod record yourself a slave there , in bitterness of heart , to fall 02 jour knees , and acknowledge that the history of the labouring classes is one vast record of misery and
aggradation ? it is against this system , caused by d _ s legislation , that we , as Chartists , are waging "B ' fcriare ; against this oppression we -will direct our energies until we destroy it He certainly belonged to the middle class of society himself , but the —liseryand distress he had witnessed had compelled him to advocate the rights of the working men . He had in his own time witnessed the direful fate of the band-loom weavers ; he hsd seen them a happy and * BieUig __ race of men ; he had seen tbe sun shinirg With beauty upon their cottages by the hill-side ; he bad sea their cheeks flushed wilh happiness and joy ; but , awing to the present vicions system , be bad also —tea than La misery and wretchedness : the cottage on & » bill-Bide had gone to ruin in many places ; the
glocgb . had gone over the spot , and as a class they were fiow reduced to the lowest verge of human ruifiery . K this had been the fate ef a large and once prosperous class of aen , had not every other trade reason to aspect a repetition of the same scene , and were they fiotia < Iaty bcund to exert themselves in mating a prd-Tisum against it ? Ten have been told that we are for desirojing property . What property is to be compared in value to your labour ? Is not the cause of more importance than the effect ? Fet the effect is protected and the cause is not prelected A house is protected by law , and so is the owner cf the house . A ship is protected , and to is the owner of the ship .

gle enactment to protect the creators of this wealth —( hear , hear ) . He looked upon labour as being of tbe highest importance , and he wished to sae that labonr protected by law . Those who accused them of wishing to destroy property , did not believe the charge in their hearts . He could easily account for tbe sensitive feeling they displayed ; they knew that by having political power , they had been enabled to rob the working classes , and they supposed the Chartists , when they obtained thesame power , would ase it in a similar manner , and rob them ; he could easily enter into their feelingB ; they were somewhat similar to those of a thief who had stolen a coat and got it on his back when he met the owner of it . They demanded political power to protect their labourand to relieve
, it of its present burdens ; the aristocracy had weilded their power for the benefit of a class ; they bad plundered and robbed the working class to raise themselves to affluence and eminence on their ruin . No body of meH were watched by Government and by the rich with a more jealous eye than the trades' societies ; they were fearful of their taking a part in the present political straggle ; the effect of their petition of three millions and a half of signatures , had been to arouse the whole of France , and the whole of the Continent of Europe to the importance of the principle they advocated , and he could not suppose for one moment that the trades of this nation would not respond to the call , that they would not perform their duty at
this 1 raportant crisis . He believed that ere long they would come forward to a man to obtain political power . Bid they not feel the necessity of this power to put down the combination and the corresponding laws . Why were they compelled to have trades ' unions at all but itom the fact that the laws did not protect them ! and they were compelled to resort to this measure to protect themselves—to obtain that which the laws denied to them . The Chartists were seeking to give to them that power which would enable them to obviate the necessity of establishing societies for the protection of the aged and the infirm , out of their scanty means . The Charter would enable them to destroy those evils which embittered the happiness of the cottage , and
it would give to all a due protection for their labour . As the ladies present were desirouB of entering into an agitation peculiar to themselves , that of dancing , he would not occupy much more of their time , bnt would impress upon them the necessity of procuring those rights which alone oould place them in an independent position . No class in society performed similar duties , and yet no party were in possession of fewer rights . The aristocracy performed no duty to society save that of consuming what others produced . The middle class produced nothing ; they only exchanged over the counter what tbe working men produced . The lawyer performed few dutiesthat might not be readily dispensed with . The doctor might have much of his employment with
dispensed if society was property organised ; they wonld thus see that if strict justice was done , the working men producing all , performing all the important duties of life , were entitled to greater rights than any other class ; but they did not desire this ; they desired equality of rights to all . He should leave the snbject to their judgment , expressing his earnest wish to see them armed with political power , to see the Charter gained , not by force or bloodshed , but gained without intimidation to the rich or injury to the poor ; without foreign invasion or domestic strife ; without the palace rafters being in flames , or the hearth of the poor man ' s cottage destroyed . Let them unite in the struggle , and endeavour to gain by moral and intellectual force , by bringing to bear tie full weight of the tide of public opinion . Day after day , year after year they were advancing with rapid strides . The
House had rejected their pftition ; the House was no longer worthy of their respect : they had denied to them what was granted to the greatest criminal —the right of a hearing . The next step would be to appeal to the throne ; to tell her Majesty firmly that the affections of the British people could only be ensured bv full justice being done to them ; and that their affection was of more value than the gewgaw spectacles of the palace ; and that unless justice was rendered them they were not bound to preserve their lojalty . The course they intended to adopt was first , to presents remonstrance to the House ; second , to appeal to the Queen ; and Ik 3 tly , to themselves . He again called upon them to unite in the glorious struggle for equal rights to all ; their character as a nation would then be exalted , and firmness given to the institutions of the country - ^( great cheering . )
Mr . Hitnes of the British Statesman , saia there was one sentiment expressed by Dr . M'Douall , which he thought peculiarly applicable ; it was why were they here to protect themselves , but because the"law did not protect them ] they had been enjoying a good dinner , and they might ask why politics were allowed to interfere with it ? Did they have one dinner out of the other 364 , in which politics did not interfere with its cursed bread laws , beef Jaws , and other bad laws , and if they allowed the Government to interfere with their dinners on 364 days , it was but moderate vengeance to have one day for their own politics to interfere . No one could properly understand the toast unless they entered into the vibrations of misery which
vrerebreaking tbe hearts of the working classes ; but they might be told tbat the Charter was a new thing ; so was Peel ' s income tax a new thing "; so was the tariff and the eliding scale ; the Bishop of Jerusalem , whose salary we should have to pay , was a new thJBg ; bnt we could not know the merits of the Charter until we had tried it . The old institution had been tried and found wanting . The Charter was only a returning to the old principles of the Consthutioa . If you ask me what or where is the Constitution , I frankly tell you I dont know , neither could the doctor with bis physiological knowledge tell me what or where the ecuI is ! but , still he would tell you that it existed ; so the political constitution , though I know not where it is—it means happiness
to all who live under its protection . Some apology has been made for trades' unions—is there not the Army Club House , and the Navy Club House , and the Carlton , combining the vices of the two . And wby ' should you not have yonr Carpenter ' s Club , involving the honesty of neither , and excluding the vices of both ? That great distress vf a 3 in the country was admitted at length by Dr . Morrison Peel , though he could not prescribe until he had received his fee . Peel and the Archbishop ' of Canterbury have now informed the Queen that distress exists in the country . He supposed Albert could not talk English fluently enough to tell her , so they were now going to issue begging letters in the Queen ' s name to the clergy , to raise subscriptions . He
trusted that the officers of the mendicity society would keep a sharp look-out for these begging letter impostors . Eta did sot blame Peel exclusively . Melbourne was equally as bad— " sure . uch a pair was never seen . how happy could we be withneither . " He trusted that tha people would step in their majestic power , acd by r idding themselves of both , place the God of happiness amongst the household ^ ods ^ of the people . When fho news arrived of the fire in Hamburgh , in fifry-sis hours upwards of £ 12 , 000 was subscribed for their relief ; and the subscription-sheet was headed in the following manner : — " We , merchants and others , having an interest in tbe trade of Hamburgh , " &c . During the last mnter how many cf the working classes had empty
cupboards—how ruaKy endured every description of mistry ; yet you heard of eo £ 12 . 000 subscribed for them . ¦ li followed that the merchants and others had no interest in them . Mr . Haynes then congratulated them upon having the physical-force—the torch-and-tiagger Dr . M'Douall among them—him yfiom the Government had found necessary to put in £ aol to keep qaiet , and inquired whether he had uttered any sentiments to which they did not cordiaJIy respond I If the Charter became the law of the land , they could hold a festival similar to the present , not once a year , but once a week ; tht-y could have their intervE . ' s of relaxation in the * same manner as those rich rascals who now frequented Bath , Chclt .- 'nhara ,
and other such places . Air . Hsynes concluded a icDg address by . showing the progress the cause had lately rcade , and imprtss'i-. g upon the ladies present the necessity of fenowing the example of those who went about collecting funds for the poor blacks , and the wicked heathen , things good enough when our cwn population were happy and comfortable . He was sure that if the ladies adopted the plan of having a nice little black bag , with a subscription book at the bottom , they would manage the trading portion of the bu ? -kie ; s much better than the men , and their accumulations would be devoted to the noble , the humane purpose , of raising tbe human family from mi ? ery and oppression to happiness and prosperity . CCheering . )
The toast was then drank with three times three , and one more . Mr . Bradbear enlivened the company with appropriate harmony . The Chairman , after some appropriate remarks , introduced the next toast . Mr . Gotobed staled that he had been called upon ¦ quite unexpectedly to speak to the following toast , *• The United Societies of Carpenters of Great Britain and Ireland , and may their efforts be concentrated in their central board in London , for theestablishment of an asylum for their aged and infirm members , be crowned with success . " He had been a member of their trade society in London for nearly twenty-seven years , and he had often felt surprise that no society of this description had been
instituted . If any of them should live long enough to be old what could they expect as their fate \ He had been a labourer in this cause many years , and he knew not bow "he should spend his latter days , but he felt assured tbey had but little to expect from any party bnt themselves . It was their duty , then , to set about raising subscriptions for such a iumane purpose . If they depended for an asylum from other parties they would be bitterly deceived . Those amongst them who had battled in defence of labour ' s rights would experience but little mercy from a "race of capitalisdsts 3 and machinery had go far deteriavated the value of macnal labour as to leave th&'ji but small hopes of providing an asylum for them in old agt ; , save by their united subscriptions . Sot jc gentleman had supposed tLat when ihey had y , chaDgs

of ministers they would also get an alteration in the Poor Law Bill , but Graham had now undeceived them , and unless they adopted the plan of procuring an asylum by their own exertions , they would have nought to expect in their old age but the horrors of & Poor Law bastile . Mr . PRYORhad great pleasure in supporting this toast , but before entering into the subject he wished tocontradiot an error into whieh their Chairman had fallen , and one which he knew he wonld be glad to correct . Having presided over the two last meetings , politics , he could assert , were no new feature in their meetings ; he need only appeal to their exertions in the Combination Committees to prove this . It was true they were not gifted with the
eloquence of Dr . M'Douall , or others who had addressed them . They were better acquainted , as had been observed , with the use of the jack plane , than with political speaking ; the active members of their society had ever been aware that their prosperity depended upon the correct distribution of political power , and that those who held political power , had ever been able to tyranise over those who possessed it not . Withregard to the toast , when they reflected upon the number and intelligence of the carpenters ' body in the metropolis , and upon the liberal manner in whioh they had ever struggled against every species of oppression , was it not surprising that they had so long allowed thoBewho had expended their bodily energies in the course perhaps of a long
life , to die at last in a union bastile 1 He was sorry that the resolution did not include females . They equally shared in the dangers and cares of this life , and were equally entitled to protection in their old age . Mr . Pryor then dilated at some length upon the benefits which society derived from the female sex , and concluded by earnestly calling upon them to shield their aged members of both sexes from the horrors of a workhouse , where they were separated from all that was near and dear to them , enclosed in a dismal bailding , where no eye could see them . Had not many rushed even upon suicide to avoid this fate . ! No nobler work could employ their
energies than to raise an asylum to protect the aged , the infirm , and the unfortunate among their members . Mr . Porter , clerk to Mr . Chandler , builder , of Boar-lane , stated tbat bis employer was anxious to assist them in this laudable undertaking by a yearly subscription , and he knew that many other masters would also be willing to aid in carrying out this object . It was also announced that Mr . Hill , tool maker , of Gray ' s Inn Lane , would assist them by a yearly subscription . The toast was then drunk with three times three , and Mr . Thomas responded to it by a suitable song .
The Chairman then introduced the next toast" the Ladies "— by informing them that Mr . O'Connell had stated at a public meeting that he should never have been aWe to have carried Catholic Emancipation but for the energies of his wife . This showed the importance of females everting themselves in this cause . Mr . Crawle ? then proposed , in a brief and pithy manner , the following toast : — "The Ladies ; and may they see the necessity , and endeavour to instil into the minds of their offspring the spirit of exertion and independence . " Mr . Thomas had great satisfaction in speaking to this toast . He t nought it was a duty incumbent upon them to advocate the cause of the fair sex . The mind of man was never so fitted to respond as when under the influence of the near and dear ties which connected him with woman .
The toast was then drank with the usual honours , and Mr . Rowe favoured the company with a song . The Chairman , in introducing the next toast" The Democratic Press "—stated that the editor of the Statesman , and the reporter of the Northern Star , were present ; these papers bad nobly defended the interests of the working men , and he trusted they would support those papers . A full aecoutt of that day ' s meeting would be contained in them on the following Sunday , and he trusted every man present would purchase tbe one or the other . If it was not for the aid of the press , meetings like the present would have but little effect ; but now their proceedings and their speeches would be conveyed to all parts of the kingdom .
Mr . Robert Prior , in a very excellent address , proposed the following toast " : ' * The Democratic Press of England , and may the working Classes of England support those papers only which advocate their Right 3 . " Mr . Hatnes , in speaking to the toast , stated that he trusted they should ever deserve the support of the public . He was pleaaed that the Chairman had classed the Statesman and the Northern Star together . It was his desire that they should battle together for the attainment of the People ' s rights . He knew of no paper which he could better take as a model than the Northern Star , which since its commencement had faithfully supported the interests of the working men . The Dispatch realized a profit of £ 30 , 000 a-year from the working classes , and he knew of no reason why papers , advocating their rights , should not prove equally as successful as the one which had vilified them as a body , and refused insertion to their statements , on the occasion of the mason ' s and other strikes .
Mr . Wheeler spoke at some length to the toast , and eulogised the conduct of the Northern Star , as being the honest and consistent advocate of tbe working men . He was glad to see the change that had come over the spirit of the press since the presentation of their petition : he bailed with satisfaction the establishment of every journal which would truly advocate the rights of laboar , and trusted that the British Statesman would remain firm to the principles which it now advocated . The toast was then drank with three cheers .
Mr . Jokas Wartsaby proposed the following toast , which was carried amid loud cheering : — " The speedy liberation of Frost , Williams , and Jones , and this meeting pledges itself to use e ^ ery exertion in favour of this object . " Mr . Wheeler proposed the healtb of the Chairman , and expressed his high opinion of tbe liberal manner in which the day ' s proceedings had been conducted . This was carried unanimously . The Chairman , in an excellent address , returned his thanks for the honour conferred upon him . The ball-room was under the excellent superintendence of Mr . Cook , and the amusement of dancing was kept up by a very crowded assembly to an early hour , when the company separated , highly pleased with the day ' s proceedings . Our reporter cannot conclude his notice of this meeting without returning his thanks for the liberal manner in which he was invited , and also for the excellent arrangements which were made for liis accommodation .
