Someof the cases of cure effected by it are beyond belief ; and , were not the parties living , and perfectly willing , hay , anxious to bereferred to and testify to the wonderful benefits they have received , the Proprietor of the Ointment dare not mention them , for fear of being charged with an attempt to practise upon the credulity of the Public . The parties , however , [ are living ; they can be referred to ; arid their testij mony is of the highest importance to all afflicted with Spinal affection . The following is a receat case , out of scores , tha the Proprietor could publish : — " Temperance Hotel , Paddock , June , 1842 . ; "Sir , —Having for a length of time being afflicted with a Spinal complaint , 1 tried various sorts of medicine , arid experienced different sorts of treatment , but all to no purpose . Hearing of the extraordinsry cures effected by you , I was induced to place myseff in yonr hands , and use the Ointment prepared by you . In a very few weeks I was completely restored to my former health and vigour ; all traces of my complaint being completely removed , although I had for a considerable period been incapable of work or exertion . Gratitude to you , sir , for the invaluable blessing I hava- received at your hands induces me to thus address you ; hoping that yon will make the case public , so that others , suffering as 11 once did , may know where to fiad a cure , ¦¦¦ ••¦ ¦ - . ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ; I am , Sir , ¦¦^ X "' ' . :- .

He made appalling statements retanve to the poverty of the people in different psrts of ihe country ; but more especially in the parish of Halifax , as being better acquainted with i + 5 situation than any other district . He conclnded by condemning , ia very strong terms , the idea v physical force ; and then introduced Mr . P . 1 M Brophy , who , aiter addressing the meeting for a
considerable r . roe on the iaaporiance"of union , and ofthes ^ presen ; joining in the ' agitatipn for the wLole Charter , ss a means to amend their wretched condition , concluded by iLOving that a Committee of twenty-one be appointed by this meeting to get up a requisition to the chief constable to convene a public meeting to take into consideration the best po s sible means of staying the impending ruin of ihe middle classes , and me demoralised and pauperised condition of the working classes generally .

Brown i caEo forsvai d to move the first resolution , wu ' ch J was to the tifect that a subscription shoald then be j entered in : o for the purpose of raising a fund to be j applied in employiag anii relieving ihe unemployed j operaiires of the town . E . Backhouse , Esq ., seconded the resolution , which was carri d unsni- ! tcou-Jy . The second resolution , -- 'hichwas moved ! by Richard Sp cr , E-q ., and seconded by anuiher ! gtnt eman , appointed a committee for the purpose : of cVecriag funds and superintending th-3 app ] ica- j tion of the same , for U : e purpose stated in the first I re > ointlon . it was taea pron-J&ed that the coin- ,
mittee .-hould consist of the Boron « h and Couury magistrate .-, the mi : us ; ers of all denominations , and such p-rsons ao they mi ^ ht appoint . At this stage of the busmes- R : cnard Spoor , E-q ., came forward and znored " Tim * 4 r . William-, aad Mr . Bruce , ; grocer , ? honld a-M ) be nembtrs ot the committee , as they , were men in whom the operatives would have : fail confidence , azid also because they were in po 3- i session of rauoh valuable information relative to the i condition ot the working classes . ' Tile-motion was ; seconded by Dr . Brown , and carried amidst great ' cheering . Mr . -Bruce proposed , and Mr . Williams j sec : nded , " Tnat Mr . Piorce , a vorking man , should ' be auried to t ^ ' comminee . " This was a'so carried , i Immediately after this the business of the meeting * was declared to be completed . Tnis seemed greatly to disappoint the asjemblage , who apparently
anticipated Something like the usual quantity of speech making , or at any rate , taut some information reia . ti \ e to the extent of digress in . tho iowii , and contemplate J measures of relief , should be brought forward . Tnis abrupt termination of the proceeding , there is kittle doui ; arc ; e from a nervous dread of Cfiartm resolutions and amendments ¦; it was not , however , domed advisable by the friends of the Charter to bring forward their views , unless the proceeding of other parties should afford a legitimate opportunity for doinu so . This was net the case , and as the wealthy cannot pretend that thtir benev-. leui iff ^ ris have br ^ n thwarted , ft is hoped that they wiii prove the genuineness of their sympathy by the iiberality of their aid . ihe thanks of the meeting were then givtn to the Cnairman by acclamation . At- the eL-se oi the meeung £ 110 was £ nb = eribed b ~ gentlemen present .
WOIiVSKHABIPTOitf . —Pcdlic Office , Wusdat , June 13 m . —liie cisj of Mr . Mason and the constable of Sc-G ^ ly came on on Monday last , at the puoiic ofSe 3 , ia tiiis town . Mr . ilason , being called upon by the Magi-trates , walked ' up t ;> the front of the bench . The great interest taken in the case prednced a general sensation throughout the Court tvlis . iever thai gcntieuisn was called upon . Mr . Mason hiving coru ' oimed xo the rules of the court , the magistrate desired him to state his case ilr . 51 . proceeded to state as folion-s .- —'' Gentlemen , by the d- ^ sire of a considerable numbe ' r-of the people of the parish of Se'i ^ l y , I visited that place on Friday evening , June the 3 rd , to deliver an address on the principles of ihe People ' s Charter .
The place wher 3 the mecttrg was held is , I under-Etund , cailed the Bull S ake . Mr- Mogg accompanied me , asd aatirc > sed ihe meeting first . He Epoke for a short time , curing ¦ which the people were very attentive , and concluded by-introducing me to the meeting . A bench had been supplied for us to s"and on by a good woman of the village . I ascended the bench to address "the pr-ople ; they were very attentive and peaceable . While proceeding in my address , having o ; iiy sptken between five and ten minutes , the person who = tandsat the bar came crushing through the people in a violent manner , and approached me . Hespoke to me as follows : Sir , youare ¦ asms € xcitiagl ! iiiguage , andorderedmetocome down . I replied , that if my language wis illegal he could
take i ; down , and 1 would be responsible to the law for it . He said eo more , but seized hold of the ; bench on which I stood . I then said to him that he • was acting very illegally and improperly . While ' thus remonstrating with him , he pulled the bench from beneath me , and threw me from it in & most ; brutal manner . I certainly should have been i injured but for two or three persons , who sustained i me from falling to tne ground by receiving me into their arm 3 . I will not , gentlemen , refer to the con- ; sequences of this outrage , and the proceedings which ' have taken place elsewhere . "The following day I applied for a warrant , which is now before the . court , ' to prosecute the person who now stands at the bar . ' Having submitted the facts of the- case , I now
appeal to your justice , to determine the redress . I can produce wimesses to confirm my charges . Magistrate ^—What are their names ? Mr . Mason—The Srst is Mr . Mo ^ g . He was then called upon . Magistrate—SVere you \ . t this meeting I Mr . > J . — I was . Magistrate—Weil , s : ate what you have to Eay . Mr . Mo ^ g then stated that he had been eye witne ? s to the whole , and said that every one present on that occasion could undoubtedly prove the truth of Mr . Mason ' s statements . Magistrate"What was the language Mr . Mason was usinir when B 2 aman , the countable , came to him ? . Mr . Mog ^—I recollect the language well ; it was as'follows : — ** It was , " said he , "' laid down in Scripiurr , that He who did not work , neither should he eat ; but , "
said he , by a strange perversion of jostice , the most industrious of society were perishing for want , while the idie were enjoying every comfort the ¦ world can afford , and revelling in every luxury . " ' Magistrate—And what would you infer from thit ? ' Would it imply that tbose whe were out . of wurk ghouid go and take it ? ilr . Mogg—I was not aware thas there were any present who were out of \ work ; but thi 3 language could only apply to tboi .- i who wore working . Magistrates—Have you at- ; t-mded aay other msetin ^ s with ilr . Mason ! I have . ] Magistrate—Where ? I was at a ms 3 ting with Mr . j Mason a few weeks sj ; o , which was held on thv [ "Wrekin ; also , I was ai a raecting with him lately held in Wolrerhamoion . Tnere were 30 . 000 persons '
at the former . Coas ; able—Will your Worships lei me put a question to Mr . ilason 1 Magistrates—Certainly . Cons-able—Did you hold a meefinj ; at Sodim ( this Tillage is about a mile from Sedglv ) the nifiht before jou cams to Sedgly I Mr . ' Mason—h was not at teat meeiing you assaulted me . I am here to prove the charges 1 have made against you . 1 cannot see that meetings held elsewhere have anything to do with ' .. hi * case . Magistrate—Perhapb yoa will ansFrr the qn ^ -snen , as other " meetings have Seen referred to . Mr . Mason—As you have desired it , I have no oljrciion . I diu hold a meeting there . Cons " ible—Were thers many p ^ r = ons came up wiih you to Sedgiy ? Mr . M . > s jn— There were several . Constable—HcwTasv ? Mr . Mason—1 cannot tell
I did not deem itneces 3 iry to count them . Constable —Huve- you not been intr . cted for attending that meeting ? tThis was evidently the arrau £ em ? nt t ( J inl the case . The pi ^ heaacd scamp had been , no doubt , specially taught to grunt out this sentence . ) Mr . Masoc—I have ; but that is for an alleged act subsequent to your outrage upon me , and which your conduej had led u . Constable—Your Worships , I am bound over to appear against Mr . ilason a - the General Q / iarter Sessions . Ibe magistrates here consulted for a few minutes- a-la-farce . Tney then addressed Mr . Masoa , and stated they would dismiss the case ; but that he ( Mr . M . ) could appeal to a higher Court , lit . Mason replied ,
that he certainly would . Then , said Mr . M ., what am I to understand from this case ! Am I not only to be subject to legal prosecution for the language 1 nuy use , but am I also to be tubjecfc to the most brutal treatment from a petty constable , upon the jmere charge that I am using exciting language 1 inagisgrates—We can say nothing : the constableis charged to preserve the peace . Mr . Mason—Well , then , I now understand what I am to expect from the law and authorities . Mr . M . thtn bowed , and left the Court . The most profound attention perraded the whole Court during the hearing of the case . We understand that Beamwi has implicated himself with falsa eridence to commit Mr . Mason

and that a prosecution for perjury will be institute d again 3 t him . Mr . Mason visited Sedgly , on Friday evening last , and delivered an addreBS of upwards of an hour . It was a very large meeting ; and the people hare hailed the principles of the Charter with unsurpassable enthusiasm . It is impossible to describe what the conduct of this stupid constable has done to promote our principles . Mr . Linney was also present , and offered a few remarks . Mr . Mason having to return to Birmingham th * t evening , the whole mass of the people marched with him at least a mils on his way to Bilston , where he was to take coach . When they stopped to return , Mr . M . and Air Linrey eDjoined them to keep the peace . Three enters were given ' for the Charter ; three for Mr . Mason : and three for the Chartists ofSedgly .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —It is a > reed on all hands that great distress at present exists throughout tho trading world . Of its cause , a multiplicity of opinions are afloat . u erhaps , amongst the many , you will allow mo to give mine . It is well known that during the protracted war with France , under the reign of Bonaparte , the landed interest , or aristocracy of England , " pledged their lives and fortunes" in support of our Government . How was this p ' edgo fulfilled ? Why , they created a fictitious capital , which said fictitious capital enabled them to double , yea , treble their rentals . At the conclusion of tho war , they pro-| cured the enactment of the Corn Laws , by tho opera' , tion of whicn they hive contrived to retain those [ rents to this day . ,
j But while ihey passed the Corn Laws to protect i themselves , they also passed measiiivs to restore the j old standard of money : or , in other words , to greatly curtail what they afterwards called that " fictitious capital *' which had trebled their rents , an d ' affected I tke prices of produce aud all exi 3 ting contracts to j an almost incaicuable extent . If the landed interest i would jiot be seifirh , there would be no complaint j against Government , do v » hat they might . Could ¦ opeiative-gt-t . sufficient at present , there would bo a j good trade in England , independent of any foreign I trade . I would recommend Government tj supply ! the wants of ih « needy until my new manufacture , tits into operation , and thon tho cry against our ' rulers , will bo at an end , and plenty ouccmorc appear i in the land . ¦ i
i Nowj what effect had those measures upon the ! manufac'uriiij ; and commercial interest ? for , mark , 1 tho landed in . eresr-, i . « .. the landlords , had pro-I tected the : i selves from the consequences of their j own acts by trie Corn Bill of 1815 , enacted for the 1 purpose of keV-pmg up the produce of the land to war prices . What < fivct had their measures upon ma for instance ? for my ca-e was the case of thouj sands , an ' -ik will fully illustrate the confiscating nature o ; ' th ^ measure then pabsed . I had at the nine th ^ f in asuros wero determined on upwards ; of £ 120 . 000 vaiuo in manufactured cloth and in
' wool , whiitj . I had another £ 80 , 000 sunk iu mills aud : machinery . What did all ' . iris property sell for ? : l-ess than XM . IO 0 ! ! ! Hire was confiscation ! j Here was a sweeping away ! ! Upwards of ; £ 120 . 000 silently , but , .. factually , filched "from me—! oue individual , — by Acts of the Parliament ! Mine was but the case of thousands . Judge t . ien of the i alteration ma-uo in tho value ot property by the meai sures of our Jaw-makers affoenng the standard oi value . Let it be borne in mind , that all articles of wear are now disposed of at . one half the prices they were j forty or fiuy years age I challongeaay one to dis-I prove these facts ; and I aek .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Sib , —We have read most attentively your , letter in last week ' s Star , and deeply lament the unhappy differences between you and the leaders of the people , because all such differences weaken the cause dissatisfy the people , and please tke ruffians who rob labour of its uiie reward , and trample on the dearest rights and privileges of man . With your conduct as an Editor generally we are perfectly satisfied , and we see nothing in your
criticisms on the Sturge Conference to give offence , nor to have caused the vituperation heaped upon yoa . As regards the letter of the Executive ; we think you are perfectly right arid justifiable in altering any sentence that is imprudent , or ^ would bring the Proprietor of the Northern Star into trouble , or in the slightest damage our cause . And those who trill not allow of such a prudent step being taken , ( without considering it injustice . ) are possessed of a species of egotism which we will never countenance either in friends or foes .
We hope the leaders of the people , and the peeple themselves , will profit by the example of common enemies by having no visible disputes whereon the world can taunt them with folly , a ? on our union mainly depends the success . of pur cause . > You , Sir , have our best tkanks for the zeal you have displayed in our cause , and for the lynx-like eye which you have always had ton open foe and pretended friend ; and we hope all those now marshalled under the banherd of Chartism , will" agree to diff or" on minor points , and stick like : leather together , till we have safely pilotted our good ship Charter over the stormy waves of political contention , and landed her safely in the harbour of St . James ' s . •• ¦ * ¦ .
All thuse who are honestly struggling in the cause have our warmest gratitude , and we hope lor the future no mor& storms . If you can find room in next ^^ week ' s , Star , for our opinions on your letter , you will oblige our members . W . ' AlTKEN . Ashton-under-Lyne , June 15 , 1842 .

THE BLOODY OLD TIMES AND PHYSICAL FORCE . Chartists of North Lancashire , lookout ! For the last week the profligate organ of deviiisai has been devoting its poison to your destruction . Some hireling makes speeches for you and sends them-to the " Bloodt Old Times . " O ! how the cbwardly rufiian would delight in strengthening the hands of despotism by a physical force outbreak ; and how its columns would teem with advice to- the jury class if some score Chartists could be entrapped into an act of "Times" -made treason . Remember h 3 w the Times' tool influenced the minds of the
jury class against Frost , and then began to Sympathise with its victim . Remember that Powell , the reporter of the Times , boasted in my presence , at the Beaufort Arms , Monmouth , that he had paid ten pounds for the Times , ' for the indictment whicri was , sworn to have been served on Frost . Remember that , and remember how delightfully it would be to Old Mother Walteiy to find me in Lancaster Castle , instead of on the hustings at Nottingham , where with God ' s help , he shall meet me . Remember that the men who recommend you to a physical outbreak will , upon the day of trial , be absent . Remember that-North Lancashire is not England , and that the 7 im ? s isnotourjriend . Remember that the Time * is , out
of all comparison , the most vile , corrupt , and blackguard print published in the whole world . Remember that old Walter and the Times hallooed the jury class and the nation upon Frost , and hunted him down ; that old Walter afterwards began , like a hypocrite , to praise Frost , to serve his own base purposes . In short , Chartisrs , don ' t play the game of the Times ,- for if you do , it will be "head you lose . harp the Times wins . " See what a triumph you would give the intellectual Chartists ! and those very fellows have their emissaries , under the mask ot Chartists , trying to damn your cause , and sow the seed of dissension among you . Yes , it is the moral force Sturgites , aomo of whom were the most violent of the physical force men in 1839 , who would glory in your madness .
As Beesly says , show me 100 , 000 men , of twentyone years of age , and all armed , and then we ' ll be talking to the bloody Old Times . Don ' t get shot without the honour of returning the compliment , however the Times and your zaal may make you mad for a moment . . . God knows I am astonished how you have borne oppression so long and so tamely ; yet , will I not council you to jump " out of the frying pan into the fire . " Believe me , that in less than two months , the shopkeepers will be talking about physical force , and so will tho landlords ; then ii will be fashionable ; but should you begin it , it would be thought vulgar , and all would join to put your physical force down .
The Times knows that the tariff must fail , and that Peel must then either reduce the expenditure , or suspend the Habeas Corpus Act ; not that he would desire it , but his party will force him into revolution before they will allow him to lessen the mess for the idle paupers . Your affectionate Friand , Feargus O'Connor .

DUFFY" TSE VICTIM . TO THE EDITOR . OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —As your very valuable journal is ever ready to advocate the poor man's rights , we , the Chartisti o ( Matlock wish through it to call the attention of cur Chartist brethren throughout the country to the case of James Duffy , the noble advocate of the people ' s rights . Ic is well known that a short time since lie was what we may term well to de , as a traveller , but through his patriotic zial in the cause which he now advocates , he lost his situation . We are very sorry to learn that he now is in very reduced circumstances , and his health
we fear , is beyond baman akill to recover , brought on by the severe usage at Northalletton Gaol , for advocating our cause . Now there are betwixt four and five hundred Chartist associations ; if each association would bat give bne shilling to this poo * bnt good man , it would enable him to put himself in a amall way of business ; remembering that many may help one when onecannothelp a many , wethlnk it the duty / of every honest Chartist to show to the foes of freedom that oux leaders are not to be ruined , but that we look upon them with reapeds . We have forwarded our mite , we hope that others will go and do likewise . '
We feel confident that this appeal '¦ ¦ will not bo made in vain . We wish Mr . Hobson to have the kindness to be the treasurer . By inserting the above in the next Star-. you will oblige us , and , no doubt > the person for whom it is intended . . Yours , ¦ : ¦¦¦ ¦ . ¦ , ¦ " . - : ; ' ¦ '* ' * .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Newport , Salop , June 15 tb , 1842 . Sir , —Observing , in your paper of Satuvday last , au aunouncemeno of a delegate meeting for Salop and Stafford , with an intimation that the delegates ^ their arrival , would inquire for me , and that I should conduct them to the place of meetiniri I beg leave to say that if any parties were really desirous of holding such meeting , L think , before fixing on me the responsibility of providing a place of meeting , they might haveforwirded a few Jiacs to ineor some oil er person in the town , to the end that we might have had an opportunity of making some
arrangement for the accommodation of the expected meeting . But , Mr . Editor , I had not the most distant idea that any such meeting was in contemplation , not having seen the Star for three weeks until late last night . : You will , therefore , judge my surprise on reading the announcement , whea 1 inform you that I have not received , by letter or otherwis ? , the slightest iutimation from the parties , whoever thi-y may be , who intend to get up the said meeting . Therefore , 1 cannot help thinking that it is " a weak iuvention of the euerhy . ' *
I have received a letter by this day ' s post , from Messrs . Danks and Fiirburn , of Wedneabury , requesting to know the originators of the meeting , the na ure of business to be brought forward , and other particulars ; but not being able to give them tho slightest information , I wrote back to that effect . Having every reason to believe that the expected meeting will prove a hoax , I hope jrou will be so kind as to devp ^ e a corner of your valuable paper to this , in hopes , if it is so , that the heartless originators of the scheme may be exposed . I should indeed be sorry to be in the slightest degree the cause , though unintentional , of any party putting themselves to a troublesome and unnecessary journey . And I remain , Mr . Editor ,
Yours , in the pursuit of justice , Frederick Macklin . [ We advise the party who sent the announcement not to attempt another hoax upon us . —Ed ] .

ADDRESS OF THE DARLINGTON CHAR . JISTS TQ THEIR LEADERS , Gentlemen , —It is with feeling 3 of deep sorrow and regret that we have witnessed the unfortunate quarrels that have taken place amongst yoa ; men who we believe are sincere in the advance of thosi principles which , if carried into practice , would be the means of rescuing our country from degradation and ruin ; and we hope for the love you btar thoao principles that you will bury the past in ob « livion , and let the saoredness of the cause in Which you are engaged , bind you together a »
brothers and membera of one family . —The spirit of Chartism ii' love ; and the practice of it " is to do unto others as ye would that others should do unto you . " An awful responsibility rests oa you ; ruia and desUtutioa are making rapid strides through the oountry ; all olasses are discontented ; all agree that a change is inevitable ; various are the plans proposed ; and it depends on you whether the Charter shall be the grand panacea or not . Yes , a union of the leadera would make a union of the people ; a , nd by a union of the people with talent to direct them , our cause would soon bo crowned with
success . ¦ - . ¦ . . - , ¦ " *¦ . - ¦ . . - . . . - ; ¦; . ¦ ¦¦ - ¦ ¦ ¦ * . - .. ¦; - Remember that there are thousands of the people who would join our ranks if they could but see any prospect of success . Men will not enter into societies when they see nothing but quarrelling . ' ] And why ? because they must es ) pouso either one side or the other , and be involved in endless strife . Then , surely , you wll not be a barrier to the success of our cause . No , you cannot ; you will not * if yoa are sincere in your professions . Come then , friends , let us forget the past , and instead of endeavouring to injure one another , let us fly to each other ' s support , aud then all will bo well hope will once more oheer the despondent ; new life will be infused into the zealous ; and with the Charter , the glorious Charter for our rallying point , who can doubt of victory ?
