Mt Bjloved Fbiejtds , —The success of our cause at Nottingham , does in truth surpass my most sanguine expectation ; and to a judicious following up , of the examp le there set . I look with confidence for the establishment of our principles . I am here to guard , to protect , and watch over your rights and interests . I amy ouragentjandyourthanksaremy onlj reward . I did not think it possible to have presented such a front of virinons poverty to the omnipotence of gold 1 The higher classes , as they are styled , are astounded . Not a drunken man is to be seen in Not tingham while the English and Irish know no dis tinction of country—all fighting under the univer sal banner .
This is blazing weather to travel in , and attend three meetings a-d&y far apart ; tut 1 did it yesterday ; and from the moment the "writ arrives , till the herald proclaims our victory , I shall not lay my head upon a pillow . But , my friends , I am sorry-to learn that some trifling misunderstanding exists as to the fulfilment of my Yorkshire engagements . In my letter of the week before last , I stated the days in this week when I would visit Yorkshire , unless I got permission to defer it ; and I rejoice to say that I have received letters from every place to -which I wa 3 pledged , cheerfully granting ' me the required indulgence
I : is an indulgence to get wet through three time 3 a day . Yet , notwithstanding , I learn that I was expected in Yorkshire this week . Now , this is unjust , as in my letter alluded to I put off my visit for a -week , from actual inability to perform the work j and , by reference to that letter , it will at once be seen that I nominated this week only if compelled by your rigid demand to comply ; but that I asked for leave till the pending election terminated . And now I feel convinced that I need only assure my friends all oTer the country , that the nonelectors of Nottingham consider my presence indispensible—to convince all that my abandonment of the canse here jnstnow would be fraught with great
evil . I cannot describe to vou the state of sober and firtuous excitement to -which t ' ae public mind has been brought ; and to lose the battle would ba chargeable upon those who would lessen its va ' ue , even by the amount of one individual .

Marsden , from Preston , who came forward amidst loud cheers , and entered into a kngthy state ment of . oar prospects '; told the ' working-men to tako their own affairs into their own hands , that they must rely on their own strength , theit own eimrgy , and perseverance for the attainment of their just and inalienable rights , and concluded by reading tho following document : —To the enfranchised portion of the community , and all those possessed of political power . Gentlemen , —You have hitherto governed us , whilst our part in the state hath been but to toilto payand to obey .
, , We have performed our part . With an immense debt , created by war / and heavy taxes , still iiatio « a ] credit Imh been maintained ; the nation's dignity supported , and its wealth yearly incveased . You must admit that it was your duty to have protectt-d our labour in lo ' . urn , but reckless sepculators have been allowed to indemnify themselves for their loss ; the result of their avaricious schemes by reductions in our wages . ' Thus , year after year , have our wages been Pinking , whilst a Corn Law has been supported , keeping provisions at a nearly unvarying price , in order that the class of landowners might contmno to receive the same amount of rental . To make matters ' worse , machinery has been introduced to Tin extent so as nearly to supersede manual labour ; and now , whilst one-half of the working population are deprived of all employment , the other half find it difficult to sustain Ufa with all their
toil . For twenty years we have petitioned and implored , but in vain—first , for a removal of the Corn Laws , then for Boards of Trade , and a-diminution oi' the taxes ; and the only way in which Governmonfe h&s acted in reference to us , has been by an endeavour to silence . our complaints in dungeons and bastiles , and getting rid of us by emigiation . Uur prospects are now gloomy iu the extreme . * . Nothing now- ' presents it-eli" but starving to death on our -. ative soil—tho land which our sires so nobly defended . We ate now become convinced that appeals to you arc useless ; you have destroyed our confidence ; the hopes so long and fondly cherished arc for ever blasted . Henceforth ,, on our own strength , and the justice of our cause , shall we
rely ; and look within ourselves for the elements of another and a better state of things .. We long not for anarchy—we pant not for blood ; but wo ciuno ! . behold our wives discontented and unhappy , and our children famishing for bread , without an effort to relieve them . You who profess to bo our friends , and would advise us to bo patient , ease the paii ^ s of hunger ; or if that be not in your power , bo silent , otherwise we can no longer viow you as irioads , but only as enemies in disguise . It is criminal to toll the starving to bo patient , and proves your sympathy to bo but rank hypocrisy . Yon profess to admire , the forbearance we have hitherto manifested , and cry out peace , peace , whilst a war of famine , created by Maminon , is pending
thousands to premature graves . What ia your motive ? Wo . ire not assassins ; wo Wish not for plunder ; wo wish but for a fair remuneration for our labour , and to have that labour protected . It is all that we to live by . We have no access to the land , that is monopolised by a few . It is not in the nature of things , that the majority of us can ever possess wealth . sufficient to purchase machinery . Ought-then , vrc a-sk , a tow wealthy capitalists to loo allowed to monopolise our only remaining means of subsistence ? Js this justice ? Is ihis protection ] Either give us labour for ¦ which we " are * to be properly paid ; or if machinery must do the work , let us share tho produce . Can any desire bo more natural and ju « t ? But to whom muat we apppcal with
s-j rea ^ onabio a requost ? Will landowners permit us to cultivate the land for ourselves , or will raillowners ailow 113 to enjoy tho wealth derived from these machines ? Yet these are our law-makers — to these alone we are necessitated to apply ; and , though our request to us appears reasonable and just , to thorn it appears tho most extravagant desire imagiualjlp , and ia scouted as such accordingly . On what , then , do you- ' who aff « ct to sympathise with us ground your hopes . ? Is thin fooling and disponiti « u on tao part , of our rulers alxiut to change ? Kiporicnco answers never ; and that our present destitute condition is but the natural'results of classinade law . We , therafore , tell oui ralers calmly and dehberatt iy that we can no - longer boar tho
system of blow murder which they beam nitont on following up . 'U . i'tter dio by the sword than diu of hunger ; ar . d , if we avo to bo butchered , why not coromen . ee th-c bloody work at once .. ( Imaicnsc cheering . ) Life hath no charms when all prospect ; of happiiicss is gouo , for happiness cannot exist without contentment ;; aud where is content . men 11 /> be found withau ? a sufficiency to satisfy the cravings of hunger , a : id r . omothing like comfortable food aud raimuiC . The majority of our co ' untrytuen will jif . 'ViT ! -tand by and see injustice doae when those who feel thu bitterness of oppression nobly defend them-elves —( hear , hear , and cheers ) , bus crawling sycophancy and servile submission disgust every rational mind . We claim to be ranked as
citizjiis , not as slaves . We wish the nation's will to bo law , feeling as-ured that the bulk of the people can have no interest in the present state of things ,, . with the ballot to protect each in the er . joyment of . his political-privileged-wealth would not corrupt , nor numbers intimidate , and the exerciso of the mental faculties of reason and judgment would alone decide in the choice of our governors , and man be no longor taxed without his- . -free consent . We tell tho Premier to call to mind his own expression , when ( Jjbbett reminded him of his being the son of a cotton- weaver—tho Premier replied , that no generous man . would'block ivp the avenues to public favour and distinction . Where would the Premier be , if he was the son of a catton weaver
ia our day . Would he noc find tho gates to those avenues barred against him , and yet he is ungeneneroua enough to strive to keep them for ever barred . Let him now think himself doomed to tho loom , or the mill , incessantly toiling , through life in . poverty and rags , and ho will iuwaruly njaico , when in our astioiab . 'ed multitudes , und ^ r ilie canopy of heaven , wo solc ' muly declare that allegiance to our unfeeling rulers is . uo . louger'du . c . Is it not a shame i ' or the Premier to receive £ 5 , O 0 U per year , or icoro than £ f ) 0 per week , from an impoverished people ? Ia it not wrong for many oi the peers and . - pet-ressca to be in the receipt of pensions and holding sim Jure offices ? Is it not fcaudalous to retain hundreds of women pensioners .
Is it not wrong to allow tho tithes to bo whoiiy absorbed by the Church , whilst tho aged and destitute , for whom they were in part intended , should bo wholly unprovided for ? Is it noc highly unjust to permit the same amount of interest upon the deb ' to be paid when the grearer chenpnoss of labour hath-made money so much more valuable , aud when £ 1 will procui e as much of our labour as double the sum i \ ould at th-o closo of tho war and when that ) debt was contrasted I Is it not unjust in the landowners , for the same reasor . _ , to keep up the Corn i . aws ? Can any man put bis hand to his heart , and say that the . present ' salaried for olfice-rs of state should continue to bo paid , whilst wVung from so much povevty aud wretchedness a * that which now tills the laud \ Agaiust th . so things we war , and appeal to tho understandings ot all , and ask whether we aro jiot justified in demanding their
instant , remova-l ?—( great cheering . ) Mr . . 'lattersall from Burnley , ruse to support it ,, which he did at some length , iaid retired amid load chcer 3 . Messrs . ijvvindlehurst a : id Alooney then addressed the meeting , and was well received . At this stage of the proceedings , a Mr . Marquis , from Burnley , rose to make obj ' ciious to somo sentences utterou by some of tho previous speakers , and spoke amid groat -confusion , and seeing that his remarks was not in duo * seiibon , ho bid them all a good afternoon . ilr . Tattorsarl auel several others rephe : to Mr . Marquis , and delivered some speeches rather too zealous and straightforward , and it is much to bo doubted whether their liai'auguea will have a beneficial effect or not . Mr . Udlam moved , and a speaker from Churley seconded , 4 > That a report of thii meeting , and a copy of Mr . Mars-( j en ' s document be sent to the Northern Star and
British Statesman newspapers , and to tho Commonicealihsman . " A-vote of thanks was -thu'ii put aud carried to Mr . Oidhatn for his impartial conduct in the chair . It was generally reported and understoou that Mr . Beesley , from Accnngton , und some of the Executive would attend , but they iaiied to do so ; it they had attended it would undoubtedly have had the effect of keeping back some very violent speeches that were uttered , not very much to the credit of the Chartist cause . Some person or persons in the movement arc highly censurable , but who they are remains to be told .
( City of Loneon . —At the usual weekly meeting , , on Tuesday evening last , Mr . € , Webtray in tho chair , after the u ? ual business was transacted , tho following proposition was adopted ,- — " That the members of this locality view wiih pleasure the noble and ' energetic exertions of the Executive Committee of j the National Charter Association , for their bold , : manly , ahd fearless manner of carrying on the agitation to cause the Peo . plo ' s Charter to become th ® law of tho land ; and in order to carry on the same

IMPORTANT MEETING AT HEYWOOD . On Monday last , one of-the largestpublic meetingg was held in the Market Place that has taken place in the recollect ioa of the oldest inhabitants . I'he last out-door meeting held in this town was during the agitation for the Reform Bill , called by the middle classes ; and in point of numbers was far short of this meeting , called by the working men of Heywood . The Market Placo wasone mass of living beings ; there could not be less than from 5 , Q 00 to 6 , 000 persons present . Tho manufacturers were cutto the quick to see the Working men go from their work , in tbeir thousands , to hear the pure principles of democracy propounded , and the rights of labour explained . One of these modern Shylocks said that he would rather have given ton pounds than the meeting should have taken place ; aud two of the professed friends of the people who signed the requisition to the churchwardens to call the meeting , although the understanding was , that if the churchwardens refused to call tho
meeting ( as was certain to be the case , they being of the high Tory school ) , that they ( the requisitionists ) would call the meeting themselves on their own responsibility ; as soon as the placards were posted , these two worthies got small bilfc printed , stating that an undue liberty had been taken with their names , they never having authorised any person to post their names upon the walls of the town , as taking . part in calling the meeting . But , notwithstandiug this twaddle , the working men were determined not to' be done out of their meeting by the treachery of pretended friends or the intimidation of open foes . . Mr . Smith , a working man , was called to the cha r .
Mr . Wm . Bell moved the remonstrance to the House of Commons , in an able aud . argumentative speech , in which the lords of the long chimneys came in for their share of a severe eastigation inflicted upon the capitalists for their merciless treatment of the labouring classes . Mr . Bell concluded by readins ; the remoiiitranco , which was seconded by Mr . Fletcher , and supported- by Mr . Campbell , General Secretary of the Nationai Charter Association , in a powerful speech , in which he ably exposed the workings of the present system and all its effects upon the labouring part of the community , and concluded his eloquent address by appealing to the working men upon the necessity of their becoming meniber 3 of the association . The remonstrance being put from the chair , was carried unanimously .
Mr . John Bei . l moved tho adoption of the memorial to tlis Queen , and said he was not in the habit of public speaking , he therefore would content himseif by reading the memorial . It was seconded by a working man , and supported by Mr . Dixon , from Wigan , in a few brief remarks ; on-its being put to the meeting it was carried without a dissentient . A vote of thanks was given to T . Duncombe , Esq ., M . P ., aud J . Fielden , Esq ., M . P ., for the mauly manner which they advocated the people ' s cause in the House of Commons .
Three cheers were given for Mr . O'Connor and the Northern Star , and three for Frost , Williams , and Jones . After the thanks of the meeting were voted to the Chairman , the assembled tiioaands separated in a peaceable and , orderly manner . Thia meeting will not soon be forgot in Hey wood ; it waa decidedly the largest and most orderly meeting ever hela in this town .
IMPORTANT MEETING of the MECHANICS OF MANCHESTER . A general meeting of the above body took place in tho large room , Sherwood Arms , Tib-strett , On Tuesday evening , May the 31 st , to tako into consideration the propriety of joining the National Charter Association . Jvjr . Nuttell was unanimously called to the chair ; Mr . Bell and Mr . WhitDaker attended as a deputition from the Carpintar ' a National Charter Association ; and Mr . James Leach , and Mr . John Bailey , as a ofeputatioa from the National Charter Association . Mr . Bell , in a brief manner stated the nature of his mission and the necessity of the trades joining in the movement for politicalemancipation of . the industrious classes of this country .
Mr . WinTTAKEu said it was with pleasure and a coiisiderable degree of diffidence that he appeared before them on this occasion ; with diffidence , on account of his own inability and the limited extent of hi-i talents to do justice . 'ie the great principles they had met to examine , but with pleasure , to see so many working cieu assembled together after the toil of the day , to assist by their united intelligence to adopt such measures as in their united wisdom , was the bust calculated' to remove the present distress that affects society . As a member of a , trade ' s
union ,- he had found that they were not capable of giving that protection , to the working man that his case required , and therefore he considered it to be the duty of the trades to unite with the people in onei grandand holy union to destroy the demon , class legislation . Mr . Whittaker then explained the Charter point by point , in a masterly manner , and contended that the cause of all our evils was clas 3 legislation , therefore the most effectual , plan to remove the evil was to destroy the cause by the enactment of the People's Charter . The Chairman nest introduced
Mr . Leach , who said he would much rather have : heard somo one of the mechanics give their sentiments upon the subject . Mr . Leach went into a mmute explanation of the origin of trades' unions , aud the canse that brought them into existence ; and in his usual cool , deliberate and convincing manner , carried conviction home to the minds of his hearers , that nothing less than an entire change in the system of government would ever benefit the people of this country . He addressed the meeting for upwards of an hour , and clearly proved that trades ' unions , without political rights , would neves effectually prelect the labourer from the avarice of the classes that live upon their industry , and sat down amidst . the repeated plaudits of the meeting . Mr . Booth made a few remarks upon the statements made use of by Mr . Leach ; and that gentleman replied .
Mr . Haley moved a resolution deploring the preset t distTc / s of . the working classes , and the disposition of the masters to reduce tho wages of the men in their employment . Mr .-lioHiNsoN moved as an amendment a declaration , and cerr-ain rules of the Complete Suffrage Association . This called forth a warm and lengthy debate , in which the following gentlemen took part : —Messrs , Robinson , Haley , Bailey , Dixon , and other 3 ,- when the original motion was withdrawn , and the following amendment to Mr . Robinson's motion was moved and seconded , " That we , the mechanics of Manchester , do forthwith join the National Charter Association , and that a committee of nine , with , power to add to their Lumbers , be appointed . to carry out the foregoing principles . "
On the amendment being put to the meeting , thero was a forest oi" hands in favour of it , and when put to the contrary there appeared on-y three against it . On Mr . Robinson ' s motion for complete suffrage , &c , being pns to the vote there was four in favour of it . The following gentlemen were then appointed as the committee : —Mr . John Bell , Mr . Jame 3 Haley , Mr . A . Nuttie . Mr . James Burns , Mr . John Teasdal ^ , Mr . E . Whitaker , Mr . Richard Dunn , Mr . James Newton , and Mr . H . Douglasshaw . Thi 3 meeting speaks volumes in favour of our cause . This onco anstocratical trade has come out boldly for the principles of democracy .
