      Mt Fbixkds , —There is no portion of our policy for whlon we hare heen more eontinnonsly and systematically abnsed than for what out opponents hare Jteen pleased to term our obstructive policy /'' That jjofoj , however , was only repudiated by -those ggainsi whose tactics it militated , The Whigs hare applauded it when it was directed against Toryism ; and the Tories hare commended it when it was opposed to Whiggery ; int both hare joined in its abuse when it has been directed to the advancement Of Charnsm . The full value of that policy was never so . strikingly or so sensitively developed as in the recent Birmingham struggle , Heretofore it Las rather manifested itself in the mere character

      of spleen or spite , used as an instrument of vengeance Against an enemy rather than as the defensive weapon of a- party . lake everything else , its infancy was weak , its growth was Blow , and its effects While progressing to maturity , were comparatively insignificant . However , as everyihxng in this world seems to be progressing with unacconntable speed , it won'd appear that the breath of p \ ibli& opiiaon has kept pace with all Other rapid improvements ; and hence what in olden times might nave required many seasons of agitation to ripen is now matured almost as if by magic Bow , what I mean is this , we have arranged all the

      machinery of obstruction , and Mr . Sturge has effectually set it to work , and proved its efficacy on theTery first experiment . How lucky for you , for me , and foi ss ali , tiat I was ' nt in Sturge ' a place—that it was not I who used the machinery to the same extent that ilr . S ; urge has used it . 01 if Feargus O'Connor had " divided tie liberal interest" in JBlrmingham , what a howl , what a roar , would have gone through the land ;! But Sturge has done it : and Sharman Crawford , one of the greatest revilers of onr " obstructive policy , " applauds the step , and I applaud it , and you applaud it , and every honest man will applaud it . Bu ; then , some who will appland would hare reprobated and denounced it if we had been the

      actors . So it ever has been , and so it ever will be . « One man may steal a horse , - while another dare not look over the iralL " The value which I attach to Mr . Sturge's triumph , for triumph , —and a glorions triumph it was too , —is ibis i it will make those who were previously apathetie about the franchise more greedy for its posiession ; and h is to that point that I now mean to direct youxjattention .

      Jhaing the first years after the passing of , the Beiorm Bill , whether it was that individual minds « an bo more qnickly aronsed and more speedily acted npon than the national will I know not , but fins I do know and feel , because I saw it wiih my own eyes and heard it with my own ears : during the yeans 1833 , 1854 , and 3835 , there was a large Section of the House of Commons , very , very far in advance of the national mini I could count from Jifly to sixty members at ihat time who relapsed into indifference , and who lost confidence in the Reform BilL in consequence of the people's

      apathy . I will come to particulars with yon . The Iiish Coercion Bill could not be now passed by the ¦ strong Government , " because the people wonld not ] allow them . The Poor Law . Amendment Act could ; not be passed now , because the people wonld oppose j it to the death . Men could not now be transported ] for tie same oSenee that the Dorchester labourers j were iransported for ; and yet when all those things were done , there was a larger number of members ' in the House of Commons who resisted them < without the intervention of pnblio opinion and because of their injustice , than would now resist them upon the same score .

      When I went upon my first agitating tour to the Korth of England , in 1835 , I was met with the cry of "Don ' t divide us from the Whigs "; and this after the Whigs had done all those things , and many Oihers of equal atrocity 1 1 sincerely believe that a Section of the then Government , knowing the value -of novelty and hardihood , did all that lay in their power w frustrate the valuable portions of the Reform BIB , by intimidating and paralysing public

      © pinion ; whereas , if the first work of the House had been to define and establish proper details for earrying out the principle of Raform , that measure would have given a very large amount of satisfaction , -A-s far , however , as the interests of the whole people are concerned , their share of the Reform B 31 has to this moment remained a dead letter ; "srhflebotn Whig 3 and Tories hare spared neither trouble or expense in making their respective portions -of it as available as possible .

      If Retake the census of any large town , and compare the number of actual electors with the number of houses capable of conferring the franchise , we must - « ome to the conclusion , that the Whig 3 have registered all upon whom they can rely , the Tories have registered all upon whom they -can rely , while ihose upon whom the people conld rely have been wholly n e glected . Hence we find the great disparity between the nnmher of voters and the number of Bale adults : the former being but about as one to -seven of ihB latter .

      Now , it 33 to remedy ibis inequality and to make op our former neglect that we should direct every moment of time from now till the next general eoniesV . And ^ s nothing 13 more necessary than a fair inducement to action , les me only suppose that throughout England , Scotland , and Wsle 3 we can add even 100 , 000 to the present constituency—just see how , if properly managed , that force could be brought to bear upon the House of Commons . I "Will suppose a case , in order to convey something like an idea of the working of the machinery when . complete . Take Lancashire as an instance ; and

      suppose that weiold the balance of power in Manchester , Oldbam , Preston , and Bolton alone . We go to the market and say who ' ll buy 1 Who will give os , ana avjojh to * cs , four candidates , chosen by the -whole people to represent those fonr -towns , one for each I Suppose the Whigs say '•* we'll buy . What are your terms * " We answer we will take four members for all Lancashire ; and in every other town throughout the county , and for the county , we will gjye you onr support and interest . We wont interfere with any of the other boronghs- I am now supposing a case .

      But suppose that we found ourselves stroDg enough fc > contest every trough , which from the nearly balanced state of the two parties 1 "believe -we should : Bee what terns we could mske in such case I In Scotland se might follow the same policy ; and if We conld procure one member for- each of the thirty English coucties , not meaning a member for a county cutior a Borongh in a county , with fire in Scotland , and three in "W ales , together with such men as Buncombe and Siurge , who would be returned apart

      from 5 Qcb compromise , jnst see the position we should b = in i . Sot only can we register a large fiumbir of voters , but we may further calculate upon aaxeccsaon of twenty per cent from those electors who bow nearly know how to distinguish between "Whig and Tory . Every publican , every beerseller , * Tery coffee-house keeper , and every newsvender Janstsoon _ go with -us , or go into the Gazette . On ihe 25-h of September , 1839 , 1 addressed a leuer to you , one amongst many others , pointing ont the

      necessary machinery for carrying the project into effect . I proposed the appointment of local Committees , and of a central National Com-JDinee of twenty-one sitting in London , who , Triih all the list of voters sent up from the different constituencies , distinguishing the character of each voter , before them , together with a Bat of new claims , and directing the local committees , and bringing public opinion to bear upon the great subject , wonld very soon bring the Reform ¦ Chib down upon its marrow tones j « id instead of , * s now , sending down the rubbish fiated with their food opinion , and a request xor to wttidx thje Li » nui utxkeest wonld come to the Central National Committee , and aik for a colleague for filar man , and tender support for support .

      How , if the Whigs are not prepared upon theaext contest to ratify Erich , an agreement , w » must doubt their sincerity . Go to work with independent indi-• Tidnab of that party , and in every instance where they refuse to co-operate , where the nnion would be successful , we must annoy them . by strengthening Jhe hands of their enemies * Believe me , my friends , that Peel ' s surplus of fius jest wttk -wiat of sattonal plunder 1 » xaaj add

      to it next year , will stand like a ripe strawberry before the watering lips of Whiggery . In fact , let their dislike to a onion with fustian be ever M great , theyT ] go to the devil after the "brass , " as their forefathers have done before them . Observe three things . Firstly , we have now an abundance of time to mature all onr machinery . Secondly , we have a glorious brave , active , practical pnblio feeling with us . And , thirdly , the Whigs know well that if the Tories can secure a renewal of office upon the next general election , they'll keep it up for seven lone years .

      Now don ' t you be alarmed as to the improbability of the spiteful Whigs 00-operating with yon . They won't co-operate with you for any other purpose than to get hold of the purse strings ; and if you shot ninety-nine in erery hundred of them , the remaining one per cent would kiss any part of you , if yon could help them to the cash . I am now engaged in arranging a short compendium containing all the necessity iDstiuction upon the subject of registration and which will be published in the Northern Star . And although the time for serving noticss of claims expires on Saturday next , the' 20 th inst ., yet between this and November every locality should exert itself strenuously to be prepared for the municipal elections .

      In the Borough of Lambeth alone the Chartists have served notices of claimB for nearly a thousand lodgers j and the Overseers of the parish of Lambeth have issued bills announcing their readiness to re ceive the claims of lodgers paying weekly proportions of rent amounting to £ 10 a year . In one of the Citytof London Wards ( Cripplegate ) the Chartist Committee have served notices for 700 . * In the Tower-Hamlets a larger number has been Berved , and bo throughout the whole of the metropolitan boroughs the Committees have done their work well .

      I know that those who have been so frequently deceived by the Whigs , entertain the notion thai they will deceive us again . But let us once have the staff , and we will take care not to poll a man ffll the last moment : and ihould the Whigs break faith uiih us , they GotorEBBOiBD themselves , I cannot conclude ths letter without tendering my most unqualified thanks to Mr . Sturge for the kick he has given Wbiggery , nor without consoling him with the assurance -that every Chartist in London to whom I have spoken on the subject , heartily joins in the congratulation . He may bear the revilinga of the Whig press with perfect equanimity and composure . He has now only to throw off the " physical-force" bugaboo , and to declare himself a Chartist .

      The 346 honest electora who voted for him , deserve the thanks of the empire at laTge . Upon the whole , my friends , I think a brighter prospect presents itself to our view than even the mosi sanguine could have contemplated a few months since . I remain your faithful friend , Fkabgus O'CoNNoa .

      TO THE CHARTISTS OF MANCHESTER . Mt Fbiesbs , —In compliance with your resolution , 1 started for Birmingham on Thursday last , to assist in the return of Mr . Stnrge ; and on Friday morning I wrote him a note , of which the following is the substance : — " Sib , —I beg to know whether my assistance at the nomination to-day "will be calculated to irjjore or to save you ? I will fca entirely guided by your opinion . "Washing you success , " 2 aai , your obedient servant , " Feaegcs O'Consob . " I sent the note by Clarke , by whom Mr . Sturge returned the following verbal answer , as he was too mueh engaged to write : —

      « That ho cad no right to expect men an offer from me ; that he felt greatly obliged , but felt convinced that if 1 took ssy part in the election many would vote cgainst him who would otherwise vote for him . " Under those circumstances , I think I best discharged my trust by not weakening the hands that I Boagtrt to strengthen . I almost regret Mr . Smrge ' s conclusion , as had I taken any part , I ghonld have had a fair share of the abuse of the Whig press , of which I am sorry to say Mr . Sturge now ei joys the ' undivided monopoly , and of which I feel rather jealous . Your faithful friend , Feabgxjs O'Consoa .

      Mb , T > otle * s Toub . —On Sunday , Jane the 30 th , I addressed the Chartist * of Newcastle , in the Association Boom , Manor Chare , Mr . Currie presided . I spoke at considerable length upon the different political crotchets which have been propounded from time to time , by men outwardly professing to be the people ' s friend . " ; and showed that their measures were not in the remotest degree calculated to ameliorate the condition of the masses ; and that nothing short of the People ' s Charter would give tbe means to remedy the existing physical and social evils . A vote of tbankB was passed to the Cbsiraan , after ¦ which I enrolled a few members . Monday , July lBt , I lectured in tbe Charter Association Room , Sundetland ; Mr . Dobie in the chair . My . subject was the People's Charter . On Taesday , 1

      addresstd tbe inhabitants of South Shields , in the Market Place ; and O , what a meeting of able-bodied men were present ! Really it is delightful to the feelings of an agitator to have snch an assembly to speak t »; and more especially when he finds the people composing it , all in favour of universal liberty . There could not be less than from three to four thousand men present , exclusive of the females . Mr . Strickland was unanimously called to the chair . In tbe course of my address I took occasion to allude to , and anamadvert upon , tie recent disclosures made in the Honse of Commons by Mr . T . 8 . Dnncombe , with respect to the system of Espionage carried on in the Posteffiee by the authority of Sir James Foucbe " , the prince of English spies . A vote of thanks was given to Mr . in St

      Duneombe . On Friday I delivered a lecture . Kjcbolas-square , Newcastle , upon the rights of labour . I had a numerous and attentive audience ; aud when tbe - subject -was concluded Mr . Kidd moved a vote a ¦ vote of tbsnks t © me , wbicb was seconded and carried . On Sunday I again addressed tbe people of Newcastle , io the Charter Association Boom , Mr . Frazer in tbe chair . On that day week I received the unanimous tbiDks of the meeting for the services I had rendered to tbe ChartiBt cause dnring my sojonrn in Newcastle . On the evenings of Monday and Tuesday , July the Stn and » th , I delivered two lectures to the inhabitants of Carlisle , in the Theatre ; Mr . Arthur , one of M tbe fifty-nine conspirators , " 5 a the chair . The meetings were respectable , and certainly as enthusiastic as it ever was my lot to witness . On Wednesday I proceeded to Wigton , & small but very pTetty town , eleven miles from Carlisle , where I addressed the \ people in the open air- Mr . DavidBon , a CbarUst of

      twenty years standing , was unanimously called on to preside . There could not be leas than 1000 persons azs&mbled , and amongst them I noted a goodly number of tbe middle ranks . On Tbnisday 1 addressed tbe people of Daiston , a village four miles from Carlisle , upon a piece of ground known by tbe same of the : Bull Ring , a renowned spot , from the fact of Dr . ' Taylor , Mr . Harney , and seven ! other public men having harangued tbe people upon it during tbe year 1839 . I bad a goodly muBter , and the very beBt feeling prevailed throughout in favour of oar principle * . I tested my audience , and the result wf % every band was held up for tbe Charter , and not oae in favow of eitber Whig or Tory . O » Friday night I * gain addressed tbe people of Carlisle ia tbe Market-place , Mr . Arthur presiding . She xneetiag w&a / weU attended , and when I finished my lectmre I called upon those who wsre for the Charter to hold up their hands , when every band mi uplifted .

As far as I have had an opportunity of knowing tbe people of Cumberland , I cau wifely say that tbey are a truJy democratic people , &nd if funds coold be laised to * mploy an active and efficient lecturer , I have no doubt but Cnmberland would rank amongst tbe first counties in England both for numbers and organization , at » d would materially assist the Executive to carry out the . objects contvnedin tbe Plan of Organization . —CHW » IoF .

" He pointed oat the value ot Jafcjn . ^ tbe capability of the soil , and abnndance of raw material to go stain the people in ease and comfort ; shewed fcMt tbe Cb / Tter wai tbe key by which they might attai . i the pofsenion of threa blessings , and stand erect fa tbe dignity of manhood , instead of befog mere machines to create wealth for others . He defended tbe conduct and policy of what the shufflers term tbe" O'Connorite Chartists , " and proved tbem to be the devoted and

      disinterested friends of real liberty . Be drew a glowJog picture of what the labouring cWesmigbt enjoy , were they in a position to work for themselves , and not far speculators and heartless capitalists ; and comdnded his second lecture by an exposure of the little knot of vain creatures who are endeavouring to divide tbe working classes on various paltry pretences , and holding op the necessity of relying for aid on their deadly foes tbe middle classes . He exhorted all present to go on in tbe good old way , opposing humbug in every form , and to rely on tbe only safe motto , " Honest labour against rapacious and all devouring capital , " aud success would finally crown their efforts . He bad to depart abruptly to mtet tbe train to Bradford , aud wei warmly applauded on leaving the Hall .

On tbe motion of Messrs .

      than tbe brief intervals from their usual daily teil would admit of their performing . Mr . Q H . Tucker reported that tbe City locality bad been unceasingly active in tbe good work , and that it wr » really astonishing to find tLe many hundreds that had tent in their claims in Cripplegate Ward through their bumble agency . Mr .

      interesting lecture , showing up the wrongs and heart-burnings cauced by tbe present system ; and illustrated tbe great truths of Chartism evidently much to tbe satisfaction ef a delighted audience , who testified their admiration in long and repeated bursts of applause . At the close of the lecture , Mr . Overton , on behalf of tbe directors and shareholders of the City Chartist Hall , came forward and presented Mr .

Cluer said , in the course of his public life be had been presented with many tokens of reward in the shape of silver medals , Stc , of considerable value ; but in his estimation , much as be valued tbem for the sake of

      the donors , tbty were as dust in the balance compared to the bigb compliment just paid him by tbe director * and shareholder * of that Hall ; and in replying to the question just put to him , he hoped to be very shortly in America , when be most assuredly should take part in the great national land struggle going on in that country ; and it would be his highest pleasnre to assist tbe MflcktEZie ' s , the Manning's , and Devyr's in their truly democratic cause ; and as long a » life lasted he hoped to be found vindicating tbe conduct pursued by the Chartists of his native land—( loud cheers ) .

      Murray , Frazer , Currie , Walker , Iley , Watson , Crothers , Usher , and Sinclair . The meeting then adjourned until next Sundt ^ Y , at five o ' clock in the afternoon . In consequence ox some questions asked Mr . Doyle , at the close of one P ? hia lectures , by a gentleman , who was understood io contend that a political or governmental change was ; not necessary to remove the present distress , it was agreed that a public discussion should take place , to diaeuss the relative merits of Chartism and Socialism . Soon after seven o ' clock , Mr . Murray was called upon to preside , who briefly stated the subject of debate , and expressed a nope that each speaker would be fairly heard . Mr . Cockburn was expected to open the debate on the ; side of Chartism , but on aceeonfc of his absenoe , Mr . Currie was called upon to open the discrission . ^ His opinion was that Socialism was quite impracticable . At present there was religions prejudice in its way to success , as well as political

      opposition to contend with ; the religious public oppose them on account of their being infidels : and if Socialism could be made a national object , so far as numbers are concerned , he ( Mr . C . ) contended that there would be no protection for the Community system until we had the Charter ; and that a Governmental change was highly necessary . Mr . Gunn , said the question to be considered was , which of the principles now agitate is most calculated to benefit the community at large . Chartism is a key to something not defined . Socialism , was defined , and the remedy * distinct . Mr . G . contended that the caube of grievances , everywhere , was the existence of class , and the Socialists were the only party that struck at class distinction . Mr . Crothers said he was sorry to say ho differed from both speakers . lie thought the Charter did not go far enough to remedy the misery that exists ; he doubted the practicability of Socialism . Several others followed on both sides .

      MT Friends , —Perhaps the time ha 9 arrived when I oogbt to inform you wbat I tDinfe of your present position—and to offer you such advice as the circumstance eeem to call for . Your courage and firmness are oow about to be subjected to a severe teat ; and the | s » ue of your virtuona struggle may be said to depeud mainly on your own conduct . A new act of ctuelty—unexampled , I believe ia tbe annals of English History—Ifl within a day or two to be perpetrated upon you .

      I am informed that on Saturday last , the masters unanimously adopted a resolution that the whole of the men at each colliery Bhould immediately be turned out of their bouses . TbiB is , without exception , the most damnable resolve ever adapted by beings profeatlng Christianity . Taking all the olrcumstances into consideration It is difficult to conceive the colour of the man who was bold enough to originate the accursed proposition . . ,. . However , it ha * been made—it hsw been deoided on ; the shelter or God ' s Heaven is all that you are to have : —eten the workhouf » Is to be closed against you : and , 'Mwdlul Heateni maglatoates and clergymen have been requested to give their sanction and protection to the holy work : and some of thembleftaingBon their babes , and wivea ^ and . motheM—have Momised "to be present and superintend "—just to see—O ! the lovely ones!— " that there is no breach of the peace . "

      ; ... ...,,. Well , well-ithe Almighty ' s Thunder Is not all dead ! It map happen that they who « ° quietly doom the wife , and mother , and child , to tha mqor ' a wind— Ha , ha , ha , ha I they ' re all a starving "— £ t may happen—that they may aometiBie , want hearth and shelter foe them-• altar !

      Tnfnk for a moment what would be said of you—il you took but one of these " men of property "—but one wife , within a few hours ef bsing a mother—but one rich man s bairn—aud that but for one night and told them to walk the moor and the hedge path And these men—and they'll all be at church or chapel on Sundays-will laugh and get drunk while they send twenty thousand men , women , and children to the mercies of Heaven ' s broad canopy ; and every hovel , and shed , and roof will first be boarded up—nailed and screwed—and every shopkeeper will be threatened with ruin , who offers bread , or water , or shelter I

      And now , what is your duty under aU this : it is to tell you your duty that I write to you . You Ime trusted me , aa perhaps you jnever trusted man fcafore . Have I ever deceived you ? Trust me now f Your whole hope ef success depends upon trusting me now ! Unlf . 'jydu give me now yoior confidence , your stte ? - gle of the last thirteen weeks will but bring you to a Btate of even deeper degradation than when I first came among you . Read then . Trouble not yourselves at the mnddy sneer that may splutter at the strain in which I address you . I am your friend—trusted by you—trotting in you;—it ia my duty to address you . Read then : and as each man reads or listens , let him believe—and so believing , act ^ -ti if all labour ' s lights and hopes , and life , were bound np in bis own single arm , and depended on his own individual conduct , whether they should live and grow ripe in ths vigour of freedom , or die in the unlamented rottenness of slavery r !

      Rsad , thenJ— Ton are to be turned from pour hovels —mark that f And a great [ han is coming to " superintend tbe ejectment" Ten thousand are to sleep in the bye-ways and lanes on Saturday night : the workhouse is to be closed against you ; the military have been sent for—so say the newspapers—bub why go on with the hellish catalogue of cruelty t Before this reaches you , the curse will be at yonr door—ou your hearth—in the hovel where you first drew breath , For wbat has this heartless cruelty been decided on—what is it ? objeet : what do tbe umtera want that they drive you " ovs , " even before others have anrtosd to take your places 7 :

      Two things are to be accomplished : either will do . — The first hope is , that your determination wHI yieldthe " strike" be broken up—that you will be driven te submission tat the continuous bond abomination—¦ continuous , though determinate at a month . The other hope is—and this fcope is tyranny ' s stroaghold—though even yet we cannot bring our minds to ' believe that o / f entertain it—that is the desperation of righteous angeryour little ones dashed on the hard' earth—your wives dragged out by the ' tbroat skin—you may , for a moment , forget your habitsal eaution , and be goaded on to some act of violence . [ Then would the sabre flash through tbe hedge rowthen would theJmuBltet ball whirl , steady and fast , till it reached your most honest heart : aihready : all prepared- . —sharpened and loaded and priaed;—all got up in order , and visited by the clergy on hour befcr *

      —in poly anticipation of tbe ! very result which the outrage was calculated V » produce ; scores of you may all—bnt it wont be mnrder—O , no—though every movement was premeditated;—and , oecatrse- they fall , other scores will be transported and imprisoned ! Swjb mud be the result unless you restrain your indignation . It might be tfard to say that ibe intention , itt it full form , has been adopted by aa , th % coal-owners ; but it is true that the magistrates have met—that tbey have sent for the soldiers—that the soldiers will be there—with s > b » e and MUSKS * and BALL . . '

      I ask you then—I'll not talk about " imploring " or " enjoining "—but I solemnly request you—come what may , and come when it may ; to bear every outrage and indignity without retribution or remonstrance . If you refuse to adopt my earnest ] advice—if yon execute summary justice on the ruffian jwhose band is on your wife ' s throac—if youremonstrate wit !* thewretch scarcely less villainous tinn his employer , who is dashing t * the stones soms relic of childhood—seme toy or artiste to which the memory of past [ years ' may have given sanctity ;—if yon do this , or eitber of them—or anything like this , or either of them—or anything that a policeman ean bo twist as to swear tbnt it wrs like this or either of them—you will most assuredly ts either shot er sent across the seas .

      Nor is this all—nor near all . When one of the poos are injured , very many others necessarily share in the Buffering : you are not like the rich : you have no pictures , horseB or gewgaws to divert you : to you , your friends are AMi . It is no exaggeration to say that for one man sentenced as a criminal ( and it does not matter one straw whether he ! is guilty or not—nor whether what he is charged with is crime or not )—ten families are thrown into lasting grief . The evil done thus becomes incalculable- Recollect this—pause upon it—Bchool yourselves intoj It—always carry it in your mind that tray resistance on your part may peril the very existence of your glorious Union *—and i ( that is injured , farewell for ever to all your hopes oi independence and comfort

      I forbear from entering into detail : you cin speculate on each individual outrage : let each mvx look at his wife—look at bis child—and ; then—think about it . Whatever is done—however horrible and galling . the case may be—even if the West Moor ruffianism of dragging the wife eighty yards along the waggon way till she faints—even If this should be repeatedwhile Justice stands whistling by—still you must te-Btrain yourselves . Peaee i » your protection—your hope —your only hope . PeaCb . is driving your oppressors to madness . ;

      Don't however , tun away : stay in your houses—your families around you . Lock your doors rt against as ordinary housebreaker : sit down—go to bed—and firmly and quietly state your disinclination - to leave the spot ; and yon may say ( but only in joke mind ) that you have read in a book that " an Englishman ' s bouse ia his cattle . " Beyond this , offer too resistance whatever Let them carry you out—go to no Justice for protection or a warrant—avoid tbe farce—it will not be a time for that folly . ! As to the other hope—yow yielding—upon that I say nothing . You know that what you are struggling for ; is worth the Btruggle—even if it engendered ten times greater privatieu than has already been endured . You know that tbe monthly bond—not monthly , but

      continuous , determinate at a month—{ so that you would never again be all free together— but some on , aome off —a glut in the labour market—truck shops—and all bidding against each other)—you know that this would reduce yon to worse than Egyptian bondage . Bnt I go not into this—all that can be' said upon it you are conversant with . It is your belief , and it is mine , and I speak advisedly Bud -without passion , that it will be better to die than yitte to the " monthly" mass of trickeiy offered to you by the coal-owners . Upon thin point—and such is ever ths result of tyranny—there ia a thousand times more determination than three months ag » . The thought ,, discussion , refleatton , and hope forced upon ? ou by the idleness of tbe last three months have advanced you more than a quarter of a century of pit-work aud " foul . ' | could n&t

      I ba-ve written rather lengthily—but I help it . I know the intentions of the coal-ownerstheir groanlnga reach me . They believe that th ? " shooting a hundred , and the { transporting a couple , " would " send you to work again , " aud "break np . you * Union . " Thus they mutter when sober—shout when drunk : and their hope j is strong—all la piepaied . I " The cannon * are pointed and ready to roart " but you will disappoint them—will you not ? Tou will not let their tre&onery triumph over your weakness . All now depends on yourselves . Fifteen weeks you have struggled—a few weekB , or perhaps d&ye » more , of courageous forbearance may obtain all that you require—while one single act of folly may destroy every hope for ever . i

      Bear then with every outrage without a raurmurlet no hard words escape your lips—restrain you& anger vengaonoe will overtake your oppressors without your aid—when all earth ' s wealth will notscreea from God ' a wrath . | « ... All now depends npon yourselves . Ptace for the next fortnight— peace , forbearance , and GOUBAttS . — and the eause of the Durham and NosthumberJaud Jolliers b won ! i Believe me to remain , My dear Friends , Yonr faithful Friend and Servant , William Prowxin * Roberts . 11 » Royal Arcade , Newcastle , July 10 , 1841 .
