Mt Bkloted ifiiKiCDS , —The time is last ap-Droa ching when the tariff bubble must burst j and &e effect which its failure will produce , —for fail U ^ jll—will very speedily be made manifest in the jjsorg&nisation of wh&t ha 3 been called < 5 iviKsed societ y . Don't misunderstand me . The aaticipa-5 JO 313 of Sir Robert Feel 'will be fully realised as pegard 1 ? a fall , and a considerable fall , in prices ; bat the lednetion will be felt in the wholesale market ody ; it will not -visibly affect the retail market Thus it will have a positive as well as a negative
tendency to create dissatisfaction . The redaction in foe price of lire-stock , wheat , and gras 3 produce , will considerably reduce the value of land . This "will damp &e loyalty of landed proprietors , and have a positive effect upon their after course ; while the failure of the measure in reducing the retail price of food will shear it of all popular approval . Now , if a butcher buys a beast of six hundred pounds weight at a reduction of £ 6 , in consequence of the tariff ; and if the present price of beef be 7 d . per lb . ; the reduction of £ 1 Pet 1001 b . in the price of the beae ^ would Bnable him to sell the beef at within a fraction of
2 ^ d . per . under 7 d . ; that 1 b , at 4 ^ d . per . But think yon he . will make that abatement \ No ; nor yet a fraction ot a farthing for some time , until either competition among butchers , or combination of consumers to buy and slaughter for themselves , shall by degrees , and very slowly , force the bntcher to a trifling reduction ; but neTer to one half of the relative wholesale abatement in the price of live stock . Now keep that in your mind , because I mean to use it as a case strictly analagons to that which a repeal of the Corn Laws would present If a fall in the wholesale price of live stock would net present a corresponding reduction in the retail
price of meat , what guarantee or assurance would the consumer of bread have , that a fall in the price of wheat would produce a corresponding reduction in the price of bread ? None whatever ; and thus , my friends , w » at once diseovertbe inability of the government of an artificial state of society to give the real stamp to their own measarespkBWever beneficent , just , and equitable , their intentions may be . Here we find Sir Robert Peel , whose measure is bold , and intended to be sweeping , unable to produce any other result than the odium and suspicion of his own party , and the disappointment of the people .
Havel nottoldyou ten thousand times , when replying to the fallacies of the cheap bread" men , that it was wholly and entirely out of the power of any government to regulate the retail price of foed by Act of Parliament ; while I have also shown you that society 13 not without its remedy ; and the only remedy , under heaven , is to make so large a portion of society their oicn producers as would render them , and all through the extensive market of their surplus produce , independent of the speculators in human food . Again ana again , I repeat the fact .
In my first letter upon the tariff I told you that it would effect a considerable reduction in the prices of most articles ; but I told you also that nothing short of the People ' s Charter would turn the alteration to yonr advantage . I how repeat that assertion ; while I lament to think that it is only out of the evil which the promised good will produce that any ultimate benefit can arise to society at lar ^ e . Yes ; from the disappointment of the landed proprietors and the people will spring an amount of confusion which few can contemplate ; while the increased demand upon the middling classes for war expences will swallow up much more than the largest amount of savings that the tariff will yield
to them . Now , just for a moment think of the worse than brutality of paying in three years more than thirteen millions sterling as the first instalment for our foreign conquest over the brave , the simple , the innocent , and peaceful Aff ^ hanistans ! That amount is but the first instalment , while our eonquest promises to be a defeat . I ask if this be just or Christian , or whether it be right to carry our desolating new inventions for the destruction of human life among the Chinese , a people anxious to live in peace with all the world ! But especially I ask , if this squandering of life and money can be justified , or even tolerated , while hundreds of thou-Eand 3 of our brave people are actuilly perishing for trant of the humblest fare !
England , with ail her wealth , has become a vast sea-bound dungeon , filled with starving paupers Her martial glory abroad is tarnished , and her only domestic greatness is to be seen in a gorgeous soldiery and in a military police , whose warm backs , flushed cheeks , and comfortable homes , furnish a sad and striking contrast to the naked bodies , palid faces , and wretched hovels , of those whose voices they are hired to smother , and upon whose very miseries they live !
How often have I told you , that hunger , like the water , would find its leveL How often have I reminded you , that York , without its machinery , eould not draw a " eordon sanataire" around its trails , and say to prowling poverty— " thus far shalt thou go , but no further . " How many times have I assured the comparatively happy villagers , that their peaceful resting place could not be the one fair spot , bidding defiance to the raging plague ' . And is it not bo \ Has not the searching eye of desolation ferretted out the last remaining hamlet ! and has not the griping hand of taxation been stretched forth for
the peaceful villager ' s contribution towards the shedding of his fellow's blood , to swell our foreign conquests , and make us a great nation ? Alas J my friends , even the ocean furnishes no bounds to man ' s rapacity . No ; for in the accounts from poor Ire hud , we find that while an able-bodied man ininll and in the best employment can earn no more than eightpence per day , he is obliged to pay Eevenpencehalfpenny for fourteen pounds of potatoes ! That is two pounds of dry potatoes per day for a ma-u , his wife , and family , say of five children ; and to pay rent , and supply clothes , and fuel , and
EDUCATION out of hi 3 savings , 0 GREAT NATION O most migaty nation of plundered paupers and plundering rascals ! 0 most civilized and enlightened priesthood ! 0 most Christian ministers of Christ ' s religion ! 0 most pious rofiians , when will your sympathy bsgin ! orfwhenlwill God ' s vengeance overtake you in your race of beaeTolence !! 0 Mr . Atton . ej-General give me but one month's fling at the enemies of maaidnd , of peace , law , and order , with an assurance that yoa will not prosecute mt F 02 the ctitth , asd I will draw for yon a picture which trie devil himself would blush to icok upon !
Bat in vhe midst of all this suffering , still pes . ce reigns , asd life and property 13 secure . Thanks b e io God for that . Yes , my friends ; the police of Ireland , armed as soldiers , and dressed as rifle-men , were compelled to look on peaceably , while the starving men of Wexford unloaced a sloop laden with potitoe 3 , and bound for Liverpool , and the potatoes were sold in the marke : at a reduction of lk& . per stone . Ye 3 , the police were peaceable , and looked on while the people quietly asserted their rights to be first partakers of the fruits ot their own labour . They bought the potatoes , and thongh at a
reduced , yet at an exorbitant price . I often told you that the moral force Irish woald'nt stand much nensense ; and I trust that the Pacificator General acd his-staff will immediately take effectual means for preserving the same order that my " wild followers" have observed through many seasons of ihe most trying and galling privation . Lei me now , my friends , point out to yon those circumstances which , above all others , foment and Petpttuats legislative discon ? eat . I will bigin with " Piggery and the Whigs . " That political party is defunct as a representative body—Thank God for thai . The reason why they have no back is this : when we knocked them down , their own party kicked them for falling . Thay were willing to cling
to them while in office ; although the WLigs in power never represented the Whig constituences , nor yet a tithe of the electoral body . There is a great difference between the theory of Whiggery and the practice of a Whig Government . The Whigs in office did not go far enough for the majority of the "Whig electors . This is fully proved by the fact of Russell and his Government , making a great merit of reducing the duty on foreign core to 8 s . per quarter , while nicety-nine in every hundred of the "Whig electors were for a total repeal of the duty . How has practical Whiggery fallen by Chartist hands , while the theoretical Whigs who thought tfcemselTes iEsalted , but awaited the first blow to insure their former friend's defeat ' Now the dif-

ferenoe between the theory and practice of Toryism is exactly the reverse , inasmuch , as the Tory constituencies declare that their Government goe 3 too far for them . In fact , had Lord John Russell and the Whigs proposed Peel ' s tariff , the Tories , if no other means had . been at their disposal , would have stopped the supplies : so that we may say with the Poet" 0 , what a contradiction 1 b man ! What in another he one moment spnrns , The next he doea himself complacently . "
In the midst of all this chaos , my friends , the oppo sition iB being marshalled ! and it must be our business to take care that the brave , the nunly , the eloquent , and consistent democrat , who came to dor aid when we were spurned by all , and who did not wait till we had become powerful , shall in the struggle for leadership remain our head , our general , and our chief . None shall rob him of the laurels of his * manly stand in the people's cause . We will give him a power and an importance which so monarch can bestow , and 0 / which faction shall not deprive him .
The next great change of political parties will be this : all persona with accumulated readymade wealth , all landed proprietors , acd atateehnrch cormorants * all fund-holders , ¦ bankers , and rioh merchants , - together with the leviathans of machinery , and head- ) of professions , will flock to the standard of Toryism ; while the dissenters and the industrious of all classes will range themselves under the banner of Chartism ; and then the battle begins in the House of Commons Then , like an electric spark , the fervor will be communicated to the pile of ripe opinion outside Away will go the rotten Jabrio , which all
attempts to patch has but weakened ! while its ruin will be hastened by the internal dissensions of the new adherents to Toryism ; for , believe me , that nothing but the dread of a bolder foe will prevent the disappointed landlords from falling foul of the church , the fund lords , and all persons of fixed incomes , whose bonus will be carved out of the landlord ' s ruin . In this state of things the pnblic mind will not long allow the public affairs to remain ; and , as public opinion cannot be driven back , onward it must go . Let us remain on the watch , and be prepared to take advantage of our oppressors difficulties . '
Ever your faithful friend , and devoted Servant , Fbasgus O'Consob , Thursday , June 9 th , 1842 . P . S . —My fr iends , keep your eyes upon Nottingham . We have every reason to expect the immediate issue of the writ , and then we most and will return Sturge . Had I been aware that my time could have been devoted otherwise than to Nottingham this week , the state of tho weather would not have allowed me to call meetings in doors , nor to have subjected myself and my hearers to Ihe destroying influence of a burning sun . When the election at Nottingham is over , and the weather becomes more cool , then I Bhall start upon my tour of inspection . F . O'C .
Address Of The London Delegate Council To The Chartists Of London.
ADDRESS OF THE LONDON DELEGATE COUNCIL TO THE CHARTISTS OF LONDON .
Gekilemzn , —Having been called upon to act aa Dslegates representing the various localities of this great metropolis , we feel ourselves bound to address you upon the importance of your co-operation in carrying out the recommendations of the " late Convention , " in fnrther organizing London and its district . Confident that our past conduct and mceesa -will insure to na that support which is necessary for the advancement of Chartism , it needs little or no appeal on crar part to 700 , -who are already convinced of the principles of the People's Charter , bnt \ re mnst remind you of the motto so frequently used by men advocating the cause of liberty , that " United we stand , divided we fall "
the-prey of our enemies and the enemies of liberty ; by the support we have received from you we have in twelve months aroused London from one of the most apathetic to one of the foremost cities in the cause of liberty and the Charter , and this has been done at a less expense than "was incurred at the great Kersall Moor meeting . We have raised from the ranks of the working classes , a number of ardent Lecturers in the cause of human redemption , who have been rewarded by the Bteady co-operation of their fellow-men , for the many sacrifices they have made : and now , Gentlemen , we ask you still to be firm with us in the cause of liberty ; and London shall be the envied and admired -post of Chartism . " For he who values liberty confines His zeal for her predominance within No narrow boundi ; her cause engages him Wherever pleaded—tis the cuaae of man . "
It is not now a fame for petty jealousies to obtrude among the associates of -popular rights , or for any tc secret themselves in their closets , instead of manfully upholding their sentiments . A great public question is at stake , and " be who is not with us is against us . " We have- to determine whether class legislation , with its notorious corruption and abomination , shall continue at tho tipence of a starving people ; we have to determine whether the abuses of the Church of England shall remain untouched , or the religion of that Church shall be preached pure and undeflled—whether a property tax Bhall be instituted , or the industrious poor deprived of more than half their stuail pittance to' support an haughty oligarchy , who have treated with contempt three millions of their
fellowmen , whose interest they were bound to protect ; in short , we have to determine whether despotism or Eberty , misery or happiness , shall exist at home , war Gr peace abroad . These are important considerations ; and he who does not take it to heart ifl unworthy the name ef an Englishman ot a Briton ; mt&za sxu possessed of rendering this country the greatest among nations , and tho natural industry of our countrymen untrammelled from the present system of exorbitant taxation would be a sure warrant cf their \ rell being , while attended with health aud strength ; their g ^ nerotity a dependence for honest old age . Then , friends , ve call upon yoa to btstir yourselves st this critical period of your country ' s fate ; adopt the rejaensrrsnee and mtBiorial of the late Convention , and fnriiLsh to us the means of carrying on the agitation "which , wi-. fc your approval , we ¦ will prosecute with redoubled Zral ,
and show by your unanimity that you are strong ; and by your peaceable conduct that you are atrare of the importance of the task that devolves upon you . Tht time now presents itself foryou to effect a blood less , yet oaeof the mcit glorious revolutions ever recorded by the frail hand of man . If you lose this opportunity , not only may you , bnt your children and children ' s children , bs doomed to drag the heavy chains of slavery ; the rights of conscience may be disowned ; the aitais of your Grod dishonoured ; and your homes , which ought to be the seat of happiness , thus rendered the harbours of misery and degradation . The Charter , which is the panacea for the exiting evils , can only be obtained by union ; therefore , be firm , and attach ycur . « elvLS to those whom you have tried , and who have struggled for and protected the glorious cause of Chartism from thiinjuries of professing friends and open fees . By your desire to will continue the good war of truth against
error .

Leeds Town Council . —An ^ adjourned quarterly meeting of this body was held on Wednesday last , at which it was resolved to present the < &neen with a congratulatory .-address on her escape from tho late treasonable attempt (?) on her life . The address was ordered to be sent to the Secretary of State -for presentation . On this occasion , Mr . Alderman lottje , theV ' leadet'V in Court matters , was absent from the Council by severe indisposition ; his p lace was filled by Alderman Luccock . The following business was also done : —The Town Clerk read a letter from Seoretary Sir James Graham , approving of the intention of theTowaCounoil to builds separate gaol for the Borough , and recommending an
application to the LordBoffcho Treasury for the loan o / woney . After some discussion a Committee was appointed to consider the " subject of better Po W ^ ffice accommodation for the Borough , a n 4 ^? W report ig / the next meeting of Council , On the motion of Alderman Lupton , seconded by Mr . Howard , fchd Committee for repairs were authorised to expend not more than £ 150 in the cleaning , painting , &c . of the Court House . Tho Priuting Committee reported that from £ 120 to £ 130 would be saved by esVmatine for the Council ' s printing , and on the motion of Mr . Kelsall , seconded by Mr . Whitehead , Messrs . Hobson and Smiles , and John Hefatou , were appointed to print the burgesses' lists , burgess roll , lists of claims and objections , and revising assessors ' s books , for the present year .
Adjourned Vestry Meeting . —The adjourned vestry meeting , on the subject of the New Improvement Bill i was held on Wednesday evening I * st , at seven o ' clock , Mr . Roberts in tho chair . Notwithstanding that the Improvement Commissioners had failed to give any public notice , there was a tolerably numerous attendance . Mr . Hobson being called upon by the chairman , made a few observations , and laid before the meeting the circumstances under which they were assembled , deserted entirely by the legal gentlemen who at the first meetings had taken so prominent a part , and fought so bravely for the loaves and fishes ; he detailed , also , the step 3 taken by the magistrates and tovm council in their efforts , before a Committee of tha House of
Commons , to obtain for themselves the patronage which the Bill , if it passed into a law ^ would throw into their hands . That patronage had , by the Committee of the House of Commons , been vested in the Town Council , which , as a choice of evils , was free from the objections which existed against the magistracy , who wero an irresponsible body , and when once appointed , could not bo removed . He understood also that the Committee had negatived tho clause which provided that not more than £ 500 should be expended m- any one improvement in ono year . After these prefatory observations , jhe proceeded to read a petition which the Committed appointed at a former meeting had drawn up , and forwarded to William Beckett
tsq ., ior presentation ; a copy of this petition will be found in another column . In conclusion ho suggested that perhaps it would be well for the meeting to again adjourn , as , notvrithstandiDg the Commons might pass the Bill , it would have to go to the House of Lords , where perhaps it would be found that the inhabitants of Leeds had more friends than they had in the House of Commons . Mr . Frazer made a few observations , after which , on the motion of Mr . \ ViJliam Wado * seconded by Mr . Francis / Jacksoni the thanks of the meeting were carried by ^ : ¦ /¦ : acclamation to the coriimittje for their excellent petition , and they were requested to continue , their services , in the event of a similar document being
trqujred to be seat to the Hohso of Lords . Mr . Hob 9 on then moved that the meeting bo adjourned for a month , but this , after somo discussion , was amended ; and Mr . Eddison , the Town Clerk , having entered the room , Mr . Hobson begged of him to tell them in what etato the bill wag . Mr . Eddison immediately "Complied as far aa he was able , saying that ^ he had left London , in haste , after the bill had passed through the committee on Monday , and ho had not had a sight of tho manuscript . Ho should be glad to answer any question , but thought it perhaps would be more satisfactory if they waited until they got printed copies of the BilL It was expected to be printed by Monday or Tuesday , and he should have in
pleasure handing over copies of it to tho Chairman . The burial ground question was to be the subjeot of a separate bill , and tho clause empowering the Commissioners to borrow £ 50 , 000 had been altered to « ive them the power of borrowing £ 100 , 000 . Mr . Hobson inquired if it was true that the clause limiting tho annual expenditure on one improvement to £ 500 had been expunged , to which Mr . Eddison having replied in the affirmative , Mr . Hobson said that it was only on condition that this clause was inserted tliat | the meeting had consented to their going to Parliament at all , and by expunging it faith had been broken with the ratepayers . He then handed to Mr . Eddison a copy of tho petition previously read , stating that it had been sent to Mr . Beckett for presentation when the Bill
was brought upfor a third reading . Some discussion then endued as to the time to which the adjournment should' be made . Mr . Hobson thought a month would be soon enough ; other geutlcimeu thought different ; and on Mr . Eddison being appealed to , he said it was probable the bi i might be in tho House of Lords by the 24 th ; it was ultimately agreed , therefore , that the meeting should be adjourned to Wednesday evening , the 22 nd instant , ( next Wednesday week , ) at the Court House , at seven o'clock , and the Improvement Commissioners Wore again referred to the face that they had originally caikd the meeting , and the Chairman was empowered to request that they would give public houc 6 of such adjournment . This was agreed to , and the meeting adjourned at nine o ' clock .
Botanical Gardens . —The first fashionable promenade lor tho present season , in these delightful grounds , took place on Wednesday 'Irish-, when , by the permission of Col . St . Quintin , the splendid band of the 17 th Lancers was present , wh p played in a , very superior style a , great many difficuh piioes chiefly from the works of Italian and German composers , with [ the Russian waltzes by Labitzky , and which reflected credit on their talented leader , Mr . B . Suffrin . The weather was beautiful in the extreme ,
though perhaps rather too sultry lor promenading ; the numerous and fashionable company , however , onjoyed a rich treat . We are glad to hear that the band is to . ; be 1 present oh Wednesdays throughout the season , and that on Wednesday next their performances will commence at tivo o ' clock and continue until eight . This will afford an opportunity for more of the inhabitants enjoying thelaxury of so deliglitful a promenade . The subscription' -for carrying on the gardens ( and saving the inhabitants of Leeds from the djsgiuce of
having to dispose of them ) we hear proceeds m a satisfactory manner . May we point out to the Council how they may not only avoid the disgrace , but enable themselves Bpeodily to announce a dividend on their paid-up capital 1 Juefc quietly open then on a Sunday ( and on other days too ) , to the working classes , at threepence each , instead of sixpence , and there will be no fear about incurring any disgrace . The disgrace-now is , that they are nearly a sealed book to the only class who will ever niako them profitable .
Robbery in a Public House . — -On Thursday last , a man namod Joseph Sutoliffe was brought up at the Couit Houre , on a charge of having stolen a sovereign and two shillings and sixpence , from the parsfm of au old man , named John Armita ^ o , residing on York Road , on the previous evening . It appeared that the prosecutor , who was somewhat worse for liquor , went into the Harewood Arms , on Wednesdayeve « ing , and called foraglass of ale , which the prisoner said he would fetch ; he brought in tiic alp ,: for which' Armitage refused to pay , and SutciifiVj saying he would have it by one maans or
other ^ seized htm , and in tho ecuffb they both fell . Sutclsffe then got hold of the man's breeches pocket , which he tore completely away , and ran out of the house , throwing , as he went j the pocket at the back of a door . He was taken soon after , anii then admitted that he had taken the pocket , but denied that it contained more than ono shilling ¦ It . appeared to tho magistrates that he might have secreted the other money , as the prosecutor swore distinctly that he had a sovereign v two shillings , and a sixpence ; and , under these circumstances , Ute prisoner was committed for trial .
Sudden Death . —On Tuesday morning , Robert Ellis , the well known bailiff to the Honour of Pontefracfc Small Debt Court , was suddenly taken ill whilst walking in the street , and died in the course of half an hour .

It has been proposed that lectures shall be given here periodically , and every . means uaed for the propagation of our principles . Much good may be expected from the change now resolved 0500 . Krwick—Owing to an error in the Star , fixing the time for this phyca to be visited at ten instead of one o'olock , disappointment as well as delay occurred . Nevertheless , at about five o ' clock a numerous assembly of " workies , " amongst whom were a large
number of colliers , were addressed by Messrs . Skevingio-Q , Smart , and Baker , the people frequently responding to the se . ntimenfcs ^ expressed by the speakers . Miss Baker reJuTa part of Mr . Watkins ' s Sermon , which was attentively listened to . At the close of the meeting three hearty cheers were given for the Charter . It was also arranged for Mr . Smart to visit them next Monday , he living not more than three miles from them . He is fixed in the centre of a very wide field of population , where Chartism is but little kr . otvn , save by a few Sters that set among them , and & few tracts that Mr . Skevington has sent . It i ? hoped he will not negloct its culture , bat do air he can .
Baknoldswick . —We have received the following communication , which we give fust as we received it : —All is excitement Jjere ; the authorities have drawn the military from Colne , along -with two magistrates from Gargr&ve , owing to a rumour having gone abroad thai the Chartists were going to hold a public meetingtand >* U to be armed , which was a complete falsehood . It all arose from some petty tyrants of farmers going along with the relieving officer , to the room where he pays the people the sess ; and those farmers upbraided the paupers , and told them thty were too idle to work ; when tho fact is , th&t they cannot get work ; and the work that is to be got , they cannot earn , upon an average two shillings per week . The majority of the ratepaupers were dissatisfied at a few farmers going to sit there and upbraiding the paupers . The soldiers ,
when they arrived in town , came with drawn swords and fixed bayonets , "went down to the committee room , paraded and guarded the fteps with the point of the bayonet , and would not allow any person to go up , only such persons as the magistrates and guardians thought proper , and they allowed the petty tyrants still to remain in the place . All the principal part of the inhabitants were disgusted at their proceedings ; but this will have opened the eyes of the people ; when the people a&ked for bread they sent them guns and bayonets to satisfy their hanger with . We have heard that the soldiers were sent for to Colne from Burnley Barracks , and from Preston to Burnley . All passed quietly off , as soon as they had done paying ; and tho people hope that the day of retribution would soon come , when they would have their just rights .
Coalbrook-Dalk . — On Sunday afternoon , Mr . Mogg preached a sermon to about three thousand persons on the Lower-Lightmoors , near Coalbrook-Dale . An excellent choir of singers were in attendance . On Monday evening , Mr . O'Brien was to have lectured at Diwley-Green , but owing to his sudden illness , he v ? a 3 unable to attend . We expected to have had a substitute , and the utmost anxiety prevailed , previous to the arrival of the coach , to know who would come . Nobody arrived but our old friend W . Mogg , who had been at Wolverhampton to procure a substitute from there , in
case no one came from Birmingham , but he was disappointed , as Mason was at Dudley . At seven o ' clock , between 5 , 000 and 6 , 000 persons were present , to whom we were obliged to state our disappointment . They appeared very muoh dejected ; but our friend Mogg addressed them in a very enlivening strain . He used his utmost efforts , and with great success , to nise their dejected spirit ? , and the meeting passed off with great satisfaction . Three cheers were given for the Charter , three cheers for our tried friends , O'Connor and O'Brien ; three for Frost , Williams , and Jones ; and three for our worthy friend Mocg .
Stafford . —The Chartists of this place have commenced agitating the surrounding villages . On Sunday last , Messrs .

Leebs District . —In this QaaTter Chartism is spreading far and wide , it is now taking deep root where previously it was unknown . The quiet parson-ridden to tvn of Roth well , about four miles from Leeds , has this last week been in a complete state of excitement , regarding the Chartists and Chartism . One : of the Hunslet Chatists went last Saturday evening arid announced that a Chartist lecture would be delivered at Kotnwell-baukj on Sunday night , at six o ' olock ; the intelligence spread like
wildfire , and accordingly a number Leeds friends went at the time appointed ; but the authorities were alarmed , and were determined that the Chartists should not preach their " pestiferous' ' doctrines in the peaceful village of Rothwell . On Sunday morning they hired , ( at the church , it is said ) eleven men to assist the constables of the town to prevent the Chartists proceeding . But thanks to their opposition , the friends weht , and such an anxiety as was displayed to hear the Chartists w « never witnessed . In case the
authorities would do as they had threatened , several individuals offered their private dwellings to meet in ; in different parts of the town . However , we went to the place announced for the meeting , and , true enough , we were charged at our peril to assemble there . After pome " argufying" on both sides , a working man offered us his yard to meet in , about the middle of the town ; accordingly Mr . Frazer announced to the multitude the facts of the case , and requested the people to return to the town . ; they did so , and a ^ glorious sight it was to behold almost every inhabitant of the neighbourhood marching back , in face of the vicar , Dr . Belly and Mr . John Biayds , a great landholder . To this yard the ; people went , in their hundreds ; a hymn was sung , after which Mr . Eraser commenced a sermon , on Proverbs , 30 th chapter , 14 th verse ; after
he had proceeded about twenty minutes , the vicar , Dr . Bell , and Mr . John Blayds passed through the crowd in a gig , and complained to . the head constable that the thoroughfare was stopped , and so it was . The yard we met in could not contain one-fifth of the people present , ? oonsequeutly the constable , shaking like an aspen leaf , exhibited his badge of office , a . nd requested the lecturer to conclude , as the meeting was entirely blocking up the road . Mr . Fraser said he would comply , fequesting time to inform the people of the matter , it was granted , and the lecturer , making a few remarks on tbe conduct of the Vicar and Mr . Bla-yds , requested a show of hands from all present who thought he had been speaking what was right and true ; and such a show of hands—soarcoiv a being present kept down
their hands , at least no ; reckoning women , who were there in hundreds— from four to five hundred able * bodied men held up their handsfovtheCliarter . Immediately a number of them , chidiy colliers ,: formed themselves into a provfcional committee , and arrangements were entered into for the purpose of forming an Association . While leaving the house , tho lecturer waB accosted by , apparently , a middle class man , who offered him a pieee of ground to lecture on at any time , where none dare meddle with the people . Thus are our principlea—the glorious principles of the Charter—spreading ; Nothing on earth can impede their progress . On , then , brothers ! Let nothing earthly d » unt us . Let unity be onr watchword—rights our object—and liberty will soon be the reward of the people .

ADDRESS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASbOUIATION TO THE PEOPLE . THE PEOPLE ' S DUTIES TO THE CAUSE , THEMSELVES , AND TUEIR ADVOCATES . The duty of the people to the saored cause of Chartism isj to keep in the undeviiting path of persevereuco . Opposition .. should- increase dcterminaiion and zeal * . Calumny and misrepresentation sljould stiniuiato the people to greater ecergy in the spread ol" mw / h and the diifusion of democratic
principles . All the movemeiits of the people Bhould be distin / juished by unanimity , and the recommendatious of all delogated deliberative assemblies eldcttid by the universal Voioe of the people should be auppoxted and acted upon by all . . The minority bhould in ali oases yield to the maj'iriiy , and thuB good fbdhig arid jU 3 t democratic principles would pe the more effectually cultivated . - ; Id should never bo forgotten by the Chartist body that hundreds of thousands of the industrious classes are pining in want of the commeu neceasaries of life . Orime , disease , and death are ail engendered and iu ?
creased by the hideous monster class legislation These ills can h ^ ver bo removed but by the triamph of' our pi'incjpias , and although ptrsererence , danger , and saeriliao ura needed to eflcjot the victory , tht ; reward will ba great au a glorious ; bufc to become faint-hearted amd draw back , vwill only bo to hug tho chains of despotism , and to remain in tho most degrading and agonizing slavery , ever groaning in mibery aud Bighiug for release , without the least hope of freedom being gained ; our motto then must be forward ia the g / iod cause , for tyranny and deat h are baiiind , but ' -Jiberiy , happiueas , and life , invite us to Haarcaonward .
. Among themselves , the people should cultivate the best ieeijngs of democratic friendship ; our political assooiatiiju should ha a United . Brotherhood among whom , quarrels , disseusions , strife , or malice ] should be uukuowa . In their coaduct , the most strict sobriety , Bhould be observed > and it ought to ba the most pleasing , duty of Chartists to aid each otuer in oi-tKess , to rally round and protect each other from persecution and injury , and ^ an insult or wroiig : iufli < it « d on one , 6 houli be regarded as a deeii injustiuo to all .
io their advocates , thope who are foremost in danger , and whose patriotic oxerioas are the mainstay of the moveni 6 tit , the people should extend the best feelings ot' favour and affection ; and at all times ChaJtists should be slow to condemn , men whose lives have been devoted to the cause , and who have given , m mauy good andyirtupissactions . patriotic and positive proofs of their political integrity . The personal quarrels of these advooates , whieh it 13 to be hoped will novor more arise , should never create division in the people's ranks . The actions of mea should be regarded as the only true test of their sthcerityv and a spirit of ill-will or recriminatioii between those who are foremost in the people ' s ranks should
never be encouraged or magnified into importance by ihe proceedings of the people themselves ; _ differences of opinion have arisen , now exist j anu wiil of a certainty again spring up . We have reason and judgment enough to adjust difiFerences , and the will oi' tho many should be enforced , and tha obedience of the few be made a ready compliance ; the people , therefore , should protect all theiv advocates i ' roin persecution , fliisrepresentatiori , and wrong , and cheerthem on , and eiicourage them in their hazardous warfare agaiast despotism and corruption .. .. . . By these means alone , ; can mutual confidence and friendship bo ob tained , and that union promoted which is absoiatcly necessary to the successof « ur holy cause .

; " ¦ ' ^^ ^ S ^ - ^ IS ^ ^^ M ^ # ^ ¦ ^~ y / y > . - / hr / u * . t , ' / THE PLAN 3 PHOPOSED ^ C ; ;; We have , since wo were appointed to the office of the Executive , struggled to defeat the couimon enemy by . imitating ; their tactics , and employ ing the same powerful weapons against them which they havo so successfully wielded against the pediple . Therefore , we have earnestly recommended tho General Council to assemble and transact business in central points , and to organise the people ia districts ., London and Manchester have followed that rule with a success .. which has been creditable to the leaders and advantageous to tfeo cause . We have recommended district lecturers to be obosoD , and appealed to the people to afford us the requisite funds to send accredited persons into the unagitated parts of England and Wales . We wish , iaparticu-¦ ¦
t' 5 ? . lreot .. the people ' s attention ^ to the position the National Charter Assooiation is in now as compared to ^ what it was when we were elected to fill the honourable aad responsible office of being members of the Executive Committee . Whehweaccepted oMce wehad only sixty-six towns enrolled ia the National Cliarter Asaociation : we have now 401 towns , villages , and hamlets eurolled in the Association . There were nearly 10 , 000 cards issued when we took office ; during the last twelve months we have issued 35 , 000 cards , and from information we have before us , we are convinced that there are not less than 50 , 000 members in the Association , as thousands have joined us who will not take out card ? until after theelection for the new
Executive-We are now on the « ve of resigning office , and once mofe impress upon the publio mind the vast importance of pursuing the line of agitation we have drawn ; and most earnestly do we declare to them that an Executive body can never be thoroughly supported unless it be backed by a long continued and unremitting agitation of the country . ^ We also desire to point cut to the people the principle upon which the agitation of the various districts should be conducted . We are of opinion that the perfection of freedom consists in local government being unchecked in its workings ; and therefore . we recommend each district capable of supporting a lecturer , to empower the General Council toeleet an eligible person ^ and pay a salary sufficient , for his maintenance and remnneration for his
labours . We do not desire to have undue power placed in our hands ; and therefore disapprove of the proposed plan of giving the Executive the power of yippftintingj » eorpa of lecturers . ou ;^^ 1 ^ n ^ fe ^^^ C ^« i « Bi * Usih i ^«^ ia quite enough for us to { Jossesg , ana that the agitating power chouM be held and controuled by the General Councils We likewise : diw ^ ptOTe ^ of the plan of eieotiug a limited number of lecturers , onrti « . ^ rva . ciple that it would be a restriction on the genius which we observe " springing up in the ranks of our association , which talent shoald have a fair chance of being matured , a wide field to exercise itsslf in , and therefore to afford the young aa honourable opening for a wise and just competition , we would leave the choice of the lecturers to the General
Council in the districts , the whole Association being the class from which the lectures should be chosen . We have no objection to offer to the principle of sllowiDg the Executive the temporary : power of sending qualified persons to agitate pans of the country where ; the Association has not yet been established , but that power should riot be retained after the districts were organized and capable of directing their own movements . Each locality knows its own wants best , and should endeavour to supply them whilst the Executive should overlook , direct , and devise plans of operation for the whole . The efforts of the General Council should be local , the duties of the Executive National , and if we always made that honest and Chartist distinction , we would fulfil our separate duties without the chance of dispute , and with every prospect of success to our glorious principles .
; THE OBSTACLES WE HAVB ENCOUNTERED . The first grand obstacle that has crippled our efforts has been the limited funds of the Association , and the irregular manner in which wo have been supplied with the sinewB of war . We are fully satisfied that tho people will have lo amend the plan of organization , in regard to the collecting of funds , and make an equal lew on the districts , or by any Other means the general council may suggest . We have to . assure the country that the want of funds has crippled our best efforts , and prevented us from lay ing before them sohemes of greater magnitude for the advancement of our cause . We have likewise
encountered much difficulty from the want of meeting places of proper dimensiona and in convenient situations , and ws would particularly recommend to companies of shareholders to erect , during this summer , wooden houses , as the first step to the erecting of more substantial buildings . Every member must see the necessity of sacrificing something to effect an object which would make us independeni of our enemies , rioher in our funds , and more united ia our agitation . We have calculated that from £ 15 to £ 30 would erect commodious woodeu . houses , or sheds , which , might bo insured at their full value to prevent the danger of conflagration . ¦ :
We have likewise encountered considerable opposition to ova'movements , in consequence of jealouB and brainless divisions amongst publio men , ' and unfair criticism from our own press , both of which are calculated to rob 113 of publio support and esteem , and renders the Executive a vain and farsical appendageto ¦ - ' th ' e ^ Association . Ve are in a position , as officers pf the Association , 'to be held reisponsible to the people , who elected us , and fairly open to the fair criticism of speakergj writers , and editors—our documents , recommjindations , and actionsKare fair game for public approval discussion , or condemnation ; but , we contend , that beyond that ; we are not compelled to submit .
It is with considerable pain we allude to the hostility which the Editor of the Northern Star has shown towards one of our members , and to the degrading position in which he has cast the Execntive itseL' " . We are most ready to admit tie Star as the leading organ of the movement—to acknowledge cheerfully the great services it has rendered to the cause of Chartism—but it is not above criticism , any more than the Executive ; and , whilst we thank its Editor for the services he has conferred on the movement , and the attention he has bestowed on us , we are nevertheless determined to assert our independence . of action on the one hand , and on the other our responsibility lor all our deeds to the people alone , whose servants we are .
The Editor of the Star has asserted that he has altered our documents to preserve as from the fangs of the law ; . The accusation borne on the faca of this admission is a serious and important one . because it neoessarily implies that we are CriminaHy ignorant of our duties . '' . '¦ ¦/¦ . ' . '¦;¦ ¦ . '¦• ¦ ¦ , : . i / . ' v " ' -- ¦/¦; : In replywe have to say , that to the best of our recollectioa , the assertion of Mr . Hill is utterly unfouudedj and oalculated to get forth his own judgment and importance at tho expeuce of tbe people ' s public and responsible servants . If tho assertion is correct , then Mr . Kill has assumed a power to himself he had no right to , and which we are determined to resist ; until such time as he may be elected
by fche people to bo publio censor and geBeralsupervisor ever the Executive Committee . We most solemnly protest 8- § ainst the power assumed by the Editor of the Star ? Firstly , because it is contrary to the spirit of Chartism , and the rule 3 of the association , and the rights of the people , who are , and ought to be , the sole censors of the Executive . Secondly , it is establishing a dangerous precedent , and conferring a despotic power on the press , which , if added to its present enormous uifluence , would not only leave the character of menat its disposal , but the very doonmeatswhich they wrote in their defence might be exposed io designing alteration and unjust deductions .
Wo hold that the Editor has no righfc to alter public documfcnt 8 ; but to insert theni entire , accompanied with such remarks as may . be -suggeated by a man occupying the > position of Mr . Hill , and a mind elevated and desirous of liberty , and ever anxious to advise and reason , instead of condemning and undcrmimng . We thank Mr . Hill , if his intension was to serve the ExeCntive aad protect them from danger , but with all due deference to the superior ; intelligence of Mr . Hill , we beg most emphatically to have the privilege of correcting our owa documents , defending out own characters , and answering to the people for our ignorance and criminal . omissions . We shall not be dragged into a hostile correspondence , or into quarrels of any kind , and therefore we uppeal to the people on one grand point , namely , are we to be responsible to the people or the Editor of the Northern Star i if tothe former , we are content ; if to the latter , vote him into his office , arid-we will obey . f
Fellow Chartists , —The period of our sittings hard nearly expired , and on retiring from office we feel that -we have done the very best we could under existing oircumstauces to forward the movement ; we have striven to maintain our position , ( how we have done so we have already mentioned ) to propagate our principles and to increase our numbers . Finaliyi we- have laboured to put down division ( there has never been any in our body ) to secure anauiinity arid preserve our independence and yovur rights ; we have not had any votes of disapprobation , but many , very many of a contrary nature . In taking leave of you , we publicly thank the
General Council for their continued co-operation , arid the people for their general support in a period of unexampled distress . We have now but one earnest recommendation to give—one sincere advice to offer —one long-encouraged hope to cherish until it is matured , viz ,, that the people may practice the principles of the Charter as well as understand them . Never forget thai a principle which is just applies equally to the transactions between a Government and a nation , as it does to the common intercourse between man and man ; therefore , let us think , act , . and judge of measureP , movements , and incn , by the golden rule of the Charter ; We have the honour to be , v Your faithful representatives / ~ Jajies Leach , President . ¦¦ ¦; K M . M'Dodail . R . K . Philp . Morgan Wiiliajis . : - "' -. ¦ '¦ ; John Campbbil , Seoretaiy .
