OP 1 NIOSS OF TOE PBESS . "We regard the : work before us , the "Silent Friend , " as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints hitherto little understood , and passed over by the majority of the medical profession , for what reason we are at a loss to know . We must , however , confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds , that we not only recommend , but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly , or suffering from indiscretion , to profit by the advice contained in its pages . "—Age and Argiis . "The Authors of the " Silent Friend" seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are , we fear , too prevalent in the present dav . The perspicuous style in which this hook is written , and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state , cannot fail to recommend it to a careful perusal . "—Era . " This work should be read by all who value health and wish to enjoy life , for the truisms therein contained defy all doubt . —Farmers' Journal . TIIE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM . Is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life , and is exclusively directed to the cure of such complaints as arise from a disorganization of the Generative System , whether constitutional or acquired , loss of sexual power , and debility arising from Syphilitic disease ; and is calculated to afford decided relief to those who , by early indulgence in solitary habits , have weakened the powers of then system , and fallen into a state of chronic debility , by which the constitution is left in a deplorable state , " and that nervous mentality kept up which places the individual in a state of anxiety for the remainder of life . The consequences , arising from this dangerous practice , are not confined to its pure physical result , but branch to moral ones ; leading the excited deviating mind into a fertile field of seducive error—into a gradual but total degradation of manhood—into a pernicious application of those inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for the preservation of her species : bringing on premature decrepitude , aud all th « hahitudes of old age . Constitutional weakness , sesual debility , obst inate gleets , excesses , irregularity , obstructions of ' certain evacuations , total impotency and barrenness are effectually removed by this invaluable medicine .

Wood , 78 , High-street , Birmingham ; W . and H . Robinson , U , Greenside-street , Edinburgh ; T . Price , 93 , Damo-str » et , Dublin ; and by all Booksellers . in the United Kingdom , " The various forms of bodily and mental weakness , incapacity , suffering , and disease , faithfully delineated in this cautiously written and practical work , are almost unknown , generally misunderstood , and treated on principles correspondingly erroneous and superficial , by the present race of medical practitioners . Hence the ncceasity for the publication of a timely safeguard , a silent yet friendly monitor ; or , where debility has made threatening inroads , the means of escape and the certainty of restoration . The evils to which the book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret and hidden origin , and there are none to whom , as parents , guardians , heads of families , and especially of public schools , is confided the care of young people , who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this- work is intended to convey . Not only are the most delicat * forms of generative debility neglected by tho family physician , but they require for their safe management the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice , and ( as in other departments of the profession ) attentively concentrated in the daily and long-continued observation requisite for the correct treatment of sexual infirmities . "If wo consider the topics touched upon either in a moral or social view , we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved . . The effects of licentious , indiscriminate , and secret indulgence in certain practices , are described with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflection and extensive practical experience . " — The Planet . " The best of all friends is the Profeisional Frimd , and in no shape can he be consulted ivitK greater safety and secrecy than in ' Lwas on Manly Vigour . ' The initiation into vicious Indulgence—its progress—its results in both sexes , are given with faithful , but alas ! for human nature , with afflicting truth . However , the authors have not exposed the evil without affording a remedy . It shows how' Manly Vigour' temporarily impaired , and mental and physical emasculation , produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions , can be restored ; how tho sufferer , who has pined in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellowman , can regain the vigour of health and moral courage . The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style , displaying how often fond parents are deceived by tho outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how the attenuation of the frame , palpitation of the heart , derangement of the nervous system , cough , indigestion , aud a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay , are often ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural results of congenital debility or disease , are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice , alike destructive to the mind and body . " — Sell's Xew Weekly Messenger . " Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work , this remark is open to exception in any instance where the public , and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession , are the parties addressed . Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately , the world will form its own opinion , and will demand that medical works for popular study should be devoid of that mystorions technicality in which the science * of medicine lias hitherto shrouded its own ignoranco , " The work before us treats of subjects we believe generally , yet very strangely , neglected by the medical attendant , and requiring doubtlessly ( as in operative midwifery aud the surgery of the eye ) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of study . The tone of this book ia highly moral , and it abounds in well-written , harrowing , yet correct displays of the suffering consequent upon unbridled sensualism , No human being can be the worse for its perusal ; to multitgfles it must prove a warning beacon , a well-told appeal to reason , a permanent blessing . It is written iu a clear intelligible style , and is evidently tho production of a mind long and practically conversant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human organization . "—The Magnet . " The security of jBagnineis in the Marriage State is the chief anxiety of all ; but many dread entering upon wedded union , through a secret fear of unfltncBS for the discharge of matrimonial obligations . This essay is most particularly addressed to all suffering under a despondency of the character alluded to ; and advice will be found calculated to cheer the drooping heart , and point the way to renovated health . ' Messrs . Lucas and Co . are to he daily consulted from tea till two , and from five till eight iu the evening , at their residence , No . 60 , Newman-street , Oxford-street , London . Country Patients are requested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases , as to the duration of the complaint , the symptoms , agr , general habits of living-, and occupation in life of the party .

DR . M'DOUALL AND THE CHARTIST EXECUTIVE . [ The following ig the correspondence to which we referred in our last ; and as no portion of it requires reply , with it the controversy must cease as far as we are concerned . We shall not make a single comment upon tho facts ; but upon the general question we must offer a word , rather for after guidance than as a justification for the course pursued by the Executive , if any was required . In our opinion they acted wisely to themselves , honestly to their party , and justly to Dr . WDous . ll , by publishing : tho letter of Mr , Smith , and for this reason ; the Executive are bound by a strict plan of organization ; upon them the duty of appointing lecturers devolves ; and they , and they only , are chargeable with any non-performance of
duty . It was very likely then , however erroneous the notions entertained by Mr . Smith , a Chartist Secretary , with reference to the appointment of Dr . M'Douaii by the Executive , that although erroneous , they would be extensively entertained ; and therefore no private correspondence between Dr . M'Douaii , and Mr . Smith , or between either and the Executive , could have possibiy prevented the spread of theniisapprehension . Inouropinion Dr . M'Douaii has just as good a right to advocate the " fraternization of all nationi , " as the Executive have to advocate Chartist principles as defined iu the plan of organization ; while , on the other hand , the advocacy of " the fraternization of all nations" by Dr . M'Douaii , would , had he been appointed by tho Executive , have placed that body in rather an awkward predicament , appointed as they are for a special purpose , specially defined . ]

NO . I . TO THE CHARTIST READERS OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Aberdeen , Dec . 30 th , 184-t . FRIENDSj—I ll&YG perceived a communication in the Northern Star newspaper , addressed to the Members of the National Charter Association , to which I feel constrained to give a reply , which I trust will gain insertion in the same organ .- I have a few words to say to the Executive Committee who signed the letter alluded to above , likewise something to remark upon the Natvmal Charter Association , upon the proposed national [ organ for Scotland , and upon my present position and future course of action .
The Executive having , through one of the members of that body , received a private letter from a sub-secretary of the National' Charter Association in Glasgow , they thought proper to publish the same in the Northern Star , thereby circulating its contents , whether true or false , through the entire Chartist community . The Executive state that the letter of Mr . Smith was not official , but that it originated from such a pure and good source as left no doubt whatever of its accuracy . That is the very pith and manw of the question , because I deny its accuracy : and I maintain that the course for a Chartist to pursue was , to have sent me a copy , to have awaited my answer , and then to have published both to the world . That the Executive have a right to pursue what course they please in reference to the correspondence of the sub-secrctavies , I do not deny , provided
such course may be in accordance with the rules of the National Charter Association ; but I submit'to the consideration of the Chartist body whether the fact of publishing one side of any question is at all likely to allay bickerings ; or whether it be a sufficient proof of the anxiety of the Executive to set their faces , as they state , against the system of iniva'te letter-writing , formerly so prevalent , and always so pregnant witli evil consequences . In justice to me , and to the public , they might have explained away tho mistake of the sub-secretary in regard to my appearance in Scotland , without subjecting me to be misunderstood by the Chartist body at large . The sub-secretary labours under the mis-apprehension that the Executive recommended me as a lecturer . It was surely easy to remove that by a note from the general secretary . If , however , it was necessary to make it
publicly known that the Executive had not appointed me , the words of their letter would have been explicit enough , viz ., " that Dr . M'Douaii was not appointed , or even recommended , as a lecturer by them . " That was all the Executive had any right to say or do , as such a declaration on their part relieves me of all responsibility to them ; and , as they state , very properly , my opinion and my correction of them would have " to come from the proper source—public opinion . " Why , then , was the letter from Mr . Smith published , containing calumnies calculated to lower me in the estimation of tho Chartist public ? Such a course will recommend the Executive as little to the public as they suppose my misrepresented opinion will elevate me in the estimation of the Scottisli people . Tho Executive state that they were not in possession of mv present opinions , but
add that I am not lecturing in the Chartist cause . "Was Mr . Smith's letter published to prove that 1 or am I not lecturing in the Chartist cause , because they suppose I am not lecturing in favour of the National Charter Association 1 Conjecture would be vain , and very probably as unjust as their and Mr . Smith ' s representation . I shall therefore explain briefly , and for the last time , my real views as to the present National Charter Association . My opinions are , Hint nn organisation is necessary to give power to the people ; that a National Movement is best calculated to develope that power ; and a union of all nations , the grand desideratim in polities . The members of the old Executive strove hard to unite England and Scotland , and they failed . Mr . O'Connor did his best to arouse and enrol Scotchmen in the National Charter Association , and he succeeded to a wonderful extent for
a time , but only for a time . After Mr . O'Connor ' s departure , the best and most energetic of the working-men , and the few middle-class men iii the movement , worked day and night to keep up the spirit . They failed . Then came Mr . Clark , who did his best to rally the people , and with what success a few months will shew . The cause of failure does not lie with the plan of organisation , or with the leaders . It rests with the people , who have sank into a sleep of apathy , from which nothing seems capable , of arousing them . Under such circumstances , he who recommends any plan calculated to awaken the man , is a Mend instead of an enemy . I simply suggested that , as all had apparently failed in Scotland , the best plan would be to appeal to her nationality , to assembles her delegates , and to give force to the organisation by the unanimous voice of a National Convention—nothing short of that , in my opinion , can effect it . Mr . Smith may entertain what opinion of me he pleases , or report what he likes ; but if to hold or to express an opinion be anti-Chartist , I am afraid thousands will cease to be Chartists every day . No man has a right
being a Chartist , to quarrel with me , except I renounce my principles . These consist of sis points of belief—is the National Charter Association the seventh point % Are we bound to belong to it , or advocate it ? If we are so , then I can only say that the moment plans of organisation , land schemes , co-operation , and a hundred other propositions are introduced , on every one of them we will divide in opinion , although we may all , every one of us , as a body , remain true to the principles of the Charter . At all events , before we quarrel about an association , let us see the " majority adopt it , and it will be timo enough then to condemn me if I express an opinion that , under existing circumstances , I see little prospect of its success , Eren altliwgh I expressed vajseltw above—even although I entertained such opinions , who has found me unwilling to advocate the interests of the National Charter Association , enrol names , or convoy cards ? I have no hobby of my own to ride , and therefore have no desire cither to be prominent in recommending or opposing those of other people . There is a good deal of old wives' tea-table talk about my lectures not paying , and other matters , so incor-

mi v . tatea that I would recommend the writer to bring iH ^ s ==- ~ H £° ^ rr ^ ss ^ = nor friends to enable me to start one on its tad-piece , ttie new association , which seems to have alarmed Mr . ^ imagination ! I bMU now conclude by a genera
protest against all spy-systems orally or documentary , and bv a statement of my future determination . Seeing the necessity of being explicit , I deny that any parties save the public are to be my j udges—or that I am to be called to account any where , save in a public meeting . I am resolved to act independently , with the exception stated , and to claim the free right of expressing my opinions , without which all liberty is a mockery , and all associations a delusion . If I cannot gain that liberty of speech on all matters connected with the principles on which the movement is based and conducted , I can simply retire from a struggle where our chief energies are expended in battling with i
each othei ' . I have every wish to serve the cause ; and knowing my motives are , and have been pure , lam prepared by my tongue and my pen to assist the struggling man at all times and under all circumstances ; but let it be dearly understood , that I shall do so as an individual member of the great Chartist body , and not as a member of any other body whatever . I have no desire to oppose any in the same movement , nor to become their accuser or defender . If I am permitted to defend principles as a speaker on the platform 1 shall do so , if not , I shall retire altogether J and I may safely say that if the movement will not lose me , I shall lose nothing by leaving it , because it has been to me a source of continual difficulty , privation , and trial . I am , my Mends , faithfully yours , P . M- H'Dooam ..
NO . II . Glasgow , Dec . 30 th , 18 W . Sib , —In justice to myself , as the writer of the letter alluded to in the address of the Executive , published in last week's Star , and also to the character of Dr . M'Douaii , the party mentioned in the said document , well as a respect for the best interest of our movement nationally , I claim the liberty of writing a few lines on the subject . The letter written by me to Mr . Clark was private ; and my opinion on his allowing that letter to be published I will express to him privately . It was not written so guardedly as if I had designed it foi publication ; but the essential facts of tho correspondence arc correct , and
corroborated by the following extract trom a letter m the Doctor ' s owu hand , as well as in a conversation which took place between the Doctor , Messrs . Livingstone , Sherrington , Burrcll , Kydd , and myself , on the evening of Sunday , 15 th Dee . ; which conversation , however , materially altered my views as to the Doctor ' s mode of applying bis opinion to the present state of our movement ; and which change I lost no time in communicating to Mr . Clark , in a letter dated ICth Dec .: and as the first was published without my consent , I request Mr . C . to publish my second , in order that the case may be fully represented , and , as far as I am concerned , set at rest . Bearing no personal enmity to any man , and breathing a wish for the success of genuine democracy ,
I subscribe myself , yours respectfully , James Smith
NO . HI . (' Extract from the Doctor ' s Letter . J Deah Sir , —1 have been surprised by the receipt of a letter from Mr . Clark , in which he informs me that you had written to him , stating that I was , and had been , opposing the National Charter Association in Scotland . I think your fivst course should have been to inquire as to the real nature of my opinions upon that subject , before you reported thereon . You know very well that my opinions all along have been as follows , even when I was in the Executive myself : —Firstly , that it was impossible to assimilate the two countries ; and I have seen no reason to alter that opinion . Secondly , that it was quite immaterial to me what land or form of Association might be adopted ; I should not interfere with it , nor form part of its officers , or office bearers , although I was a member of the National Charter Association .
NO . IV . Glasgow , Dec . 30 th , 1814 . Sib , —In the Star of last -week we perceived special reference made to the opinions of Dr . M'Douaii on National Organisation . Emanating , as that reference docs , from the Executive Committee of the National Charter Association , and representing the opinions of one of the most talented and popular men of tho Movement , in justice to both parties we feel it to be our duty to express our knowledge of the case through the medium of your columns . We had a conversation on the subject of National Organisation , in Mr . Livingstone ' s Coffee-House , Gorballs , on Sunday , Dec . 15 th . The parties present were the undersigned , along with the Doctor , Mr . Smith , and Mr . Samuel Kydd : we all joined in the conversation , which was conducted in a most friendly spirit , on which
occasion tho Doctor expressed his opinions freely . An unwillingness to trespass on your space prevents us from reporting the same in full . Mr . Kydd chiefly defended National Organisation ; and , on a full explanation , the difference of opinion was not very material . The Doctor expressed himself satisfied with what had passed , and said , whatever were his private opinions on the subject , his guide for immediate action was the will of the majority . We are well aware that Mr . Smith , since hearing the conversation above referred to , entertains similar opinions to those expressed by us , seeing that he gave his name as a subscriber to the newspaper proposed to be established ] in Scotland , under tho direction of Dr .
M'Douaii , which wg believe he would not havo douo , had lie entertained the least doubt as to his honesty as an advoeato in the Chartist Movement . We know Mr . Smith to be a man of superior character ; and as a proof that he harbours no bad feeling towards the Doctor , or jealousy with regard to the policy he might pursue , we affirm , without fear of contradiction , that there is not one in Glasgow who did more to further the object of the Doctor ' s mission , or who exhibited a stronger desire for his welfare . With regard to the opinions entertained by Mr . Kydd on the subject , we have not had an opportunity to know . lie is in bad health at present , and is residing at a considerable distance from Glasgow ,
Trusting that this will be received in the spirit in which it is sent , we take this opportunity of expressing our respects for the Doctor aud Mr . Smith , and our confidence in them both as honest Chartists , we subscribe Ourselves , Yours , in the cause of right against might , Duncan Sheriusgton , Robert Burrell , James Livingstone . NO . V . Dundee , Dee . 30 th , 1814 . Sir , —The letter which appeared in last week ' s Star , regarding the recent conduct and principles of Dr . M'Douaii , wa $ read at the weekly meeting of the General Couucil of the Dundee Association , in connection with the National Charter Association . The Council took the same into consideration , and after deliberating upon it for some time , expressed their surprise at the course the Executive had takeu in tli affair . They viewed with regret the publishing of such a document for various
reasons : first , the Council in Dundee believe that the correspondent of the Star has misrepresented the Doctor's views and intentions ; second , it is ,. the opinion of the Council in Dundee , that the Executive have acted inconsistently in publishing such a document , if they intend to allay bickerings and heal decisions—for it is very plain that such a course will have a contrary effect ; third , the Council regret the matter , inasmuch as the Doctor disclaimed many of the opinions that are placed to his account , both in public and in private , while in Dundee . The Council moreover believe , in opposition to your correspondent , that Dr . M'Douaii , and such lecturers as he . instead of injuring the Chartist cause , would do much to revive our sunken energies and infuse life into the movement . As an instance of the truth of this assertion , the Doctor lectured here on two succeeding nights , and on both occasions had the most numerous and enthusiastic Chartist meetings held in Dundee for a considerable ! time past . Thomas Wuiltok , Chairman ,
TO THE CHARTISTS OP SCOTLAND . Friends and Brotuer Democrats , —Having been compelled , through the state to which my labours amongst vou has reduced my health , to bring my sojourn iu Scotland to a premature close , I beg now , in taking my leave of you , to express my gratitude for the handsome ' manner in which you assisted me in my successful attempt to establish the National Charter Association as the recognised rallying point for the good and true of your patriotic land . I teel that I am not exceeding the bounds of veracity in asserting that nothing short of pure and real Chartism will , ior tho future , receive any share of your attention . went with
I amongst you anything but prepossessions in jour favour . Labouring , as I then did , under the apprehension that you were entirely opposed to having any connection with the Associated Chartists of England , how great and agreeable / was my surprise when , on ascertaining your real sentiments , I found them to be the very reverse o £ what I had anticipated : aud that , so far from your having any objection to join with us , such a union was of all tlungs what you most dusived . I have , however not only to congratulate you on the success of my mission ' and the reciprocity of sentiment that exists between us ' but also to offer you a few words of advice on what I con ' Elder ought to be your future policy . \
, J a" those places where I have established "localities of the Association , Councils have been nominated and no doubt by th . s time dul y appointed by the General Secretary . The duties of the General Council are important , and ought to be strictly attended to , as on their conduct and management depends the very existence of the Association , AU that is required of them ' will be found in the last paragraph of the plan of organization winch I hope mil be religiously acted up to . From what I have seen of the men who have been selected to fill tint honourable oflice , I natter myself that there is very little SJ ^ -fe ?^ ° !* fc ? k The members who took out their cards from stand
me pledged to their country to contribute their share , in every shape and form , to make our movement both feared and respected : and let them not forget that the only way in which they can do so is bv setting an example m their own personal conduct towards each other which will have a powerful influence on all who observe them . Let there be no petty iea lousies , and splitting the body into factions under differ ent aspirants after leadership , which lias hitherto been the curse ot our movement . No quarrelling about men Everv good man can defend himself . That man ' s the strongest who is conscious of the integrity of Ids owu intentions If there are only ten men in a placelet them stick together "
, and rest assured , that one sober worki ng Chartist is worth " twenty talking poUiouso brawlers .

GLASGOW . Annual Chartist Supper . —A party of Chartist friends who meet every Thursday evening m Graham's Coffee-lio uso , under the denomination of the " Coffee Club / ' entertained themselves to an annual supper on the evening of New Year's Day , in the Albert Tavern , Wilson-street . The supper ( to which the party did ample justice ) was served up in excellent , nay , sumptuous style , by Mr . Cook , late of tho Tontine Hotel . That sterling friend and untiring advocate of the people ' s rights , James Moir , Esq .,
officiated as chairman , and that warm-hearted Chartist , Mr . Thomas Ancott , as croupier . Tho chairman was supported by Messrs . Lang and Miller , the croupier br Messrs . RanJdn and Paul ; amongst the company wo observed Commiasioner Ross , the venerable Deacon Carss , Messrs . Kyle , Walker , &c . The cloth being drawn , and glasses charged , the chairman introduced the business of the evening by proposing the first toast— "The people , the . only legitimate source of all political power ; may they soon see the necessity of active and united exci ' - tion being made to obtain their just rights . " The chairman regretted the apparent apathy that pervaded the whole body of the people ; but congratulated able to do
himself that although the Chartists were but little at the present thno , no other party had the power to do anything , much less to obtain tho countenance of the ' people , in whose support their only strength lay , and without whom they were powerless and could effect nothing . He concluded by calling for a bumper to the toast , which was drank amidst the greatest enthusiasm by the whole party . Iho chairman called upon Mr . James Lang to propose the next toast- " The People ' s Charter , and no surrender ; may it speedily become the law of the land . / Mr James Lang commented on the toast in a forciblespcech , and concluded by calling for a bumper to his toast , which was drank standing , and with three times three . Mr . Paul gave the third
toast"The Chartist press , under whatever name and wherever found ; may this mighty engine multiply amongst the people , be found successfully combatting the prejudices ot class , and curbing the oppressor ' s power . " The toast was drank ¦ with three times three . The chairman said that the fourth toast was— " Frost , Williams , and Jones , and the other exiled advocates of the people ' s rights ; may they soon be restored to their country , their families , and the cause for which they are suffering . " The chairman said that he had little hope that the sentiment expressed in the toast would ever be realised , so long as either the Tories or Whigs remained at the head of affairs . He would , therefore , urge renewed and energetic efforts being made to obtain the Charter as the only means of
releasing those exiles , and having them restored to their country . The chairman said the next toast TO 8— " FcargUS O'Connor , Esq ., coupled with the name of Joseph Sturge , Esq ., and all other honest advocates , expounders , and lecturers iu favour of Chartist principles ; may they soon find a common basis upon which they may honestly unite to fight the battle of Universal Suffrage . " The chairman said they would observe that they were only called upon to respond to this toast , and drink to those , in so far as they had honestly advocated the principles of the Charter ; in that sense they might Freely respond to the toast . He might say , for himself , that it was his opinion that until there was an union of all those nrofessinc Chartist principles , there was little hope of
attaining -what they professed so ardently to desire . He would remark that the Complete Suffrage party had been thoroughly deceived as to the middle classes being ready and willing to join the movement , were it only rid of those obnoxious physical force Chartists . These boys have had a fair chance of joining , and scarcely one of them but had taken preciousgood care to keep as much out of the way as possible j there was no reliance to be placed in the assistance of such a class ; but he had no doubt of their coming by-andbye to our shop at last . The toast was received and drank with unanimity by all present . Mr . George Ross then gave the sixth toast— "Mr . James Proudfoot , and the progress of Democracy in America . "
The following toasts were then given in succession , and responded to with all the honours : — " Mr . Pinkerton and the Chartists of Paisley , " by Mr . Rankin . " Messrs . Ross and Moir , and the Chartists of Glasgow , " by the croupier . Mr . Ross returned thanks . Mr . Walker gave " Our noble selves ; may we ever be found at our posts , whether of honour or labour . " Mr . Paul gave " Our wives , families , and absent friends . " Mr . Walker gave " The chairman ;" who replied , and gave " The croupier . " The chairman brought the meeting to a close by giving " A good night and happy new year . " Some excellent songs were sung by Messrs . Kyle , Paul , nankin , Miller , and Moir , which added greatly to the hilarity of the meeting . '
State op Parties . —As is always the case here for some weeks preceding and following the New Year ' sdar-festivities , little can he recorded in the way of politics . _ However , the present calm is not to be taken as indicative of any growing disposition on the part ot the people to abandon that cause in which they have so long struggled . If we are slumbering , none else arc working ; and to the no small disappointment Ot many who calculated upon being able to raise themselves upon the ruin of Chartism , no party hitherto has been able to catch us napping . There is one charming feature which augurs well for the future progress of the Movement , viz ., the universal feelinc lavour ot
m the JNational Charter Association , and the policy recommended by the Executive to be pursued at the next general election ; and I am happv to fand that the people of Scotland are now convinced that nothing can be effected in Scotland at the next general election , and that consequently the battle must be ( ought m the English boroughs . The question ot ffm ^ anaim has for a time completely prostrated Toryism in Scotland . The Wiuga , therefore , have it all their own wav . liie people will not organise , nor subscribe their money , without they are convinced that they have v ^ S 5 tan < ; + lobjccfc . >' iew ; and tho man vho flouM attempt to organise them unon more amend

After the bustle of the holidays is past , it is the intention of the Council to use every eudea tl 0 . > and it is hoped that every town in Scothnd legs .
