      " Union for iht Mltiit * . " Jf ^ a'ESsiarr * ' * nutte nth the mnary pomr ,,, ~ SE . SJ '' ^"" '* - *¦"> £

      • B u ! ° ? ?" ; "i ° n this aub J we ^ ink it desuabe to lay before jou one particular object Dro posed to be accomplished by the introduction and practical workings of our " Monster Union , " that is the additional power and influence each trade anti ' cipates acquiring by becoming members of this Association . This is one groat object of the Union and every trade is right in expecting it . But let us consider upon what an accessio n of power and influence depends . Let us endeavour to understand

      what it is that confers and permanently retains this power and influence . And rest assured , that unless we attend to imparting the requisite means we cannot possibly realize our purposes . Upon what , therefore , we ask again , does an accession of power and influence depend ? In answer to this , we say it depends upon our associated means . And in proportion as we are constant and punctual in COntributmg our individual mite , in precisel y the same proportion shall we increase our respective local power and influence .

      Every single member belonging to the Association has a certain work to do . A work which no one besides himself can do efficientl y ; so that if he neglects to perform his part , he injures the Society , and by bad example leads others from the path of duty . For the trades to acquire an increase of power and influence , the members individtully must be active and devoted , and cheerfully co-operating with each other for the attainment and preservation of the rights of labour , and their power will increase with the increase of a spirited co-operation . This , therefore , is one thing we ask our individual members to do . We wani each man to do his part , to attend to his respective duty , to be constant and persevering in his labours , firm to his princi ples , and punctual in his contributions : when this is tli p

      case , an association strong and healthy would be brought into existence , and the working classes so associated would possess a power of defence that would bid defiance to the most artfull y-concerted and well man aged opposition . It is this ' constancy , this firmness , this personal devotedness and regularity of subscription , that will impart the necessary means to conduct the movement ot this Association in a successful manner ; and enable the executive to encounter with courage and energy the attacks of cupidity and wrong , and to brave with manliness and invincible firmness the storms which gather and threaten to burst with unspeakable fury and rage upon the heads of the " working bees , " to

      overturn and crush for ever claims to an equitable remuneration tor the labour they perform . Then , fellow-labourers , to your posts like men ; let each individual member determine to do his duty ; let each resolve that the good work of emancipation > haU not . Jie obstructed by any negligence , or want of devotedness on his part . And when every one lays his shoulder to the wheel , and endeavours to help forward the great movement for the amelioration of the physical condition and social redemption of the toiling millions , the work will be comparatively easy ; our progression would be without a precedent , while our efforts would be attended with unmixed and complete success .

      The time for this individuality of action , this constant and uninterrupted exertion , and cheerful responses , and punctual observance to the pecuniary claims of the Association has come . The extensive demands of the various trades upon the tunds of the Union render it essential "that every man should do his duty . " The strong mii : t nut delay to exert hi * slrgn ^ th to aid and deliver ' . he weak , ' hm \ by organising iiSamv'i . rjitratinff their imitvidnul

      power , bring . that power to bent on behalf of thost uow struggling against the ijrannieni uu [ i ^ ; :: .,, sand unjust exactions of dishonourable and moiujloving capitalists , and enable them to rear an im-[ ieris ! iable monument ot tho power cf union , and the folly of employers in taimmtiiig with the right .-of labour , and for their own aggrandisameut reducing the wages of the injured and suffering operative .

      This , therefore , is the mode the National Association proposes to assist and increase the power and influence of local societies , by adding to the local internal power already possessed by those trades , the power and influence of the entire Association , But if the trades are careless , and indifferent to the welfare of the combination , how can it be expected that the Central Committee can make the Association as efficient as it is intended to be ? The amount of means invested in the hands of the executive must ever determine the nature and extent of their . operations . For every one must be aware , that if the available means of the Association are not commensurate with the objects and demands , the Central Committee cannot make up the deficiency .

      The Central Committee are fully satisfied that , according to rule 23 page ? , they have the power to " call for any levies from the associated trades , as may be required for the maintainance of such measures for the protection of industry to which they may give their sanction , " but they are unwilling to avail themselves of the liberty this law authorises , providing the exigencies of the Association can be met without it . Besides , there are a number of trades considerably in an ears , and if these tiaJes ' will endeavour to pay up their back levies , it will enable the Central Committee , eflicientlv to conduct

      the present struggles to a successful termination . Then let the trades rally ! Let those trades'in arrears exert themselves to the utmost to become clear on the books . Let each individual say to himself , " I will pfiy up my back levies , and resolve , in future , never to miss a single levy imposed upon me for the protection of industry . " Let every one who has suffered his payments to run back , only resolve to do this , and you will act nobly and wisely , and set an example worthy of imitation ; and at the same time ,. you will g i ve a determined proof of your moral power , and intention to resist the aggressions offccapitalists upon the rights of industry .

      The working classes have it in their power , if they would only decide to exercise that power , to put oppression to open shame , and cause tyranny and injustice to shrink back in disgrace , and nx a period to all evil deeds and foul misdoings , practised without a blush , and as a matter of right , upon the industrious classes . Indeed , if it had not been for the apathy of the working class , the greater portion of the wrongs and pHvations they are now compelled to endure would not have been imposed upon them . They have often calmly and passively suffered their ri ghts and priveleges to be encroached upon , until now they are almost lost in a labyrinth of physical and social difficulties and afflictions , from which it will be difficult to extricate them , unless it is effected by one general and national effort .

      Indeed , so deeply sunk in wretchedness and des titution are the great mass of operatives , that nothing short of a national combination will secure their elevation ; and if they were so minded they would be able , by co-operation , to raise themselves to that standard of happiness and independence they have , in their indifference and carelessness , suffered to be wrenched from them . Let those who are for bettering their condition immediately determine to become members of the National Association ; and if the times are so hard that you can scarcely pay your levies , resolve to make a sacrifice . Let us dispense with half-a-piut of beer per week , rather than suffer ourselves to run hack in our contributions . And what man is there

      who would object to do this , when it was done to raise the condition of himself and fellpw . workm . en ? and these small savings to be thrown into one common fund , like National Association for the Protection of Industry . Were ^ this done what moral power we should possess ! What influence we should have in society ! And by a vigorous and prudent application of this power be able to cast off the shackels aud trammels that fetter and obstruct our onward march to liberty . We feel salisttecl if the working classes only knew their own power and intnuwc value they would never delay to come forward , aud by diligently attending to the cultivation and exercise of that power , they would . sooii be free aud well paid for their labour . ^

      " is absolutel y astonishing that those who produce all should allow themselves . to he destitute of every thing convenient and esseritial to human sustenance , especially when they possess in union and co-operation such an immense power . that when properly applied for their interests would baffle all opposition set in motion against them . But the great aa « appears indifferent to know their power . A

      spirit of lethargy and supineness characterizes their general demeanour ; and a feeling . of destructive contentment lulls them into inactivity and heedless . ne »« , while the employer and the oppressor are concerting measures to impoverish and degrade them Oh ! that the working classes could awake ! that they would be wise , and well consider that which is so eminently calculated to promote their highest interest , and their family ' s welfare .

      To those who have risen to a sense of duty we say , give your indolent and careless neighbours no rest till you bring them into the field of iabour and co-operation . Let every member of the National Association determine to bring another with him , and then we shall swell in numerical strength , augment our pecuniary resources , and with that we shall be able to command a greateramountof moral power and influence , to the terror of evil-doers and to the praise and honour of those who do well .

      Committee : —Mr Williamson was appointed by the Central Committee last week to mediate with several employers who had offered reductions to their men . Accordingly therefore to instructions , he waited upon the small-ware weavers of Birmingham , in the employ of Mr Carpenter ; he found that gentleman hid offered a reduction of Is . Gd . per piece upon an article called six-inch drab belt , for which piece the regular trade-price is 4 s . 6 d . Mi Williamson called several times upon Mr Carpenter , but could not obtain an interview . Mr Williamson being obliged fo leave Birmingham for Manchester upon other important business , made arrangements

      to call upon Mr Carpenter on his return to London . He then proceeded to Manchester , to endeavour to effect a reconciliation between Messrs Smith and Co . and their hands now on strike , nearly 200 in number . Mr W . waited upon that gent , who received him very courteously , but complained very much of the bad conduct of his men , upon which Mr Williamson made strict inquiry , and found , to his satisfaction , that Mr Smith ' s hands , male and female , had con . ducted themselves with the strictest order and decorum . Mr Williamson , therefore , cannot help but express his entire satisfaction of the manner in which Mr Parker has conducted that strike .

      Mr W . had , also , on the same day , a second interview with Messrs Smith and Sons , on which occasion Mr Williamson endeavonrcd to effeet his object by making a little concession on the part of the men , believing that by this means he should have been ' able to settle the dispute to the satisfaction of both parties ; but Mr Smith would not concede the point , and deviated from several of his own previous statements . Mr Smith still dings , therefore , to paying his men the lowest price paid in the town of Manchester , and of course the pickers and weavers are still determined to stick together and contest the rights of their labour .

      SKELMANTHHOP .-On Thursday evening Mr Peel attended a meeting of the fancy weavers of this town , for the purpose of explaining the objects of the National Association , when about 500 were pre > sent , apparently all very anxious to know the mode of operation pursued by the central committee . Mr Elliott of Barnsley was called to the chair , who , after very briefly explaining the object of th *> ir meeting together , introduced Mr Peel from London , who , on rising , commenced to show the manner in which the

      National Association was conducted , the objects it proposed to accomplish , and the certainty of success that would attend their operations . At the close of hi-i lecture , a vote of thanks was carried—also three chcera to T . S . Buncombe , Esq ., F . O'Connor , Esq ., and ilie Northern Slur , for the manner in which the rig hts of the workiajrclesses wore advened through *<•* » i-U \ im of Us . columns .

( Hear , hear . ) The last has done , I allow , much good ; Its successor , it is to be hoped will do more . ( Hear , hear . ) It is yet marvellous to see the carelessness and indifference of electors in many parts of the kingdom , and the ease with which , in consequence , boroughs , though under the Reform Act , are bought and sold . The constituencies should rouse themselves on this subject . If embers representiog places like Finsbury often find their exertions neutralized in the House of Commons by the purchasers of some rotten boroughs . And , unless the metropolitan constituencies declare themiehes on this poiat , I fear things will remainas they are . So long as boroughs arepurchaseable , the people cannot be faithfully represented . Faithful representation will never be seen uaril the franchise is extended .

Mr Charles Cochrane ' s appearance immediatel y after was tha signal for loud cheers , and , if possible , louder groans and hisses , which were kept up for a considerable time . Lord Mandevitie , who with his friends took his place to the right of the platform , is a young man , about five and twent y . He was unknown by the mob , and probably forgotten by them , for neither cheers nor hissea announced his advent on the hustings , so far as the mob was concerned , although his friends brought him up with a warm salute enough .

Lnshington , and was seconded by Mr Front , who made a violent attack on Mr Cochrane , and accused him of bribery , as well as of having been the means , through his excessive vanity , of introducing a Tory ; he knew that he had not the shadow of a chance of his own election , and tbat the only effect of the course he was pursuing was to make himself a tool in the hands of the Tories . Mr Letsom Elliott proposed Lord Mandevllle , who was seconded by Lord Sandon , and the several candidates having addresied the assembly , the Hign Bailiff took a show of hanc { s , which he declared had fallen on Mr Cochrane and " Sk De Lacy Evans A poll was de . manded on behalf of the other candidates , and appointed for Thursday .

Sir George made a long speech in defence of civil and religious liberty . Lord Nugent , iu addressing the electors , declared that ho would never support the endowment by the State of any church ; a statement which was received with the most rapturous applau-e .

      BATH . The nomination of candidates to represent this city iu parliament took p lace on Wednesday . Party feeling ran very high , and the proceeding were characterised by an unusual amount of excitement and uproar . The nomination wa 3 held in the Orange-grave where a hustings had been erected . At a few minutes before . 11 o ' clock Lord Duncan and Mr Roebuck , accompanied by a large body of their supporters , arrived at the hustings , and were soon afterwards followed by Lord Ashley and his friends . Lord Ashley then advanced to the front oi the hustings , and shook hands with his noble opponent , and . offered to do so with Mr Roebuck , but that gentleman , to the amusement of all who witnessed it , with a formal bow , and saying— " Excuse me , I'd rather not , " politely declined the proffered honour .

      Considerableoppoiition was offered to Lord Ashley . In the course oj nis speech he said Mr Roebuck had appealed to him whether he had ever shrunk from fearlessly stating his opinions in the House of Commons , fie ( Lord Ashley ) most willingly bore his testimony that he had never known the hon . and iearned gentleman to do so ; and the only fault he found with him was , that he etited his opinions rather unpleasantly . ( A laugh . ) He would admit that the hon . and learned gentleman had ever been remarkably bold and straightforward in the declaration ot his principles , and in one or two instances in which he had co-operated with the hon . and learned gentleman , he did act like a man who had honesty and boldness in his heart , ( near *) The

      hon . and learned gentleman said he could state the reaRon why he declined to take his hand . He had atatod the fact , but he forgot to assign the reason . Mr Roebuck ( holding up a placard ) said that the friends of the nible lord had accused him , from one end of the town to the other of being , of being an infidel , and opposed in every maxim and in every way to the sacred doctrines of religion . He must suppose the noble lord to be cognizant of that , but he had done nothing to give the lie to that foul and cowrdiy calumny . ( Cheers . ) Lord Asbxbt couid assure the honourable and learned gentlemen that he was ignorant of the existence of the placard until late on the previous evening , and that , as he bad not been able to canvass

      personally , his friends had canvassed for him ; but he was not crying out of what they had stated , and could not , therefore , receive the statements of the honourable and learned gentleman with readiness , unless what was so charged was proved . He did not want to parade his services , but if any service he had rendered were altogether denied , he w& 9 justified in settine himself right before that assembly . The gallant officer who proposed his noble opponent , said the Factory Bill was carried while he ( Lord Ashley ) was out of Parliament , and that the bill was Mr Sadler ' s . That was true , but it was not the whole truth . Mr Sadler introduced the bill , and he lest his seat in 1833 . lie ( Lord Ashley ) was elected in 1 S 33 , and took the bill in charge and so kept it for thirteen years , and when he left Parliament , he confided it to Mr Fielden , by whom it was carried to complete success . But had he net taken that bill

      in charge , he should have participated in the honour and emoluments of office . ( Hear , hear . ) His noble opponent had referred to the window-tax . When the noble lord brought forward his motion , he ( Lord Ash- ley ) heartily encouraged him to go on with it , and said he thought the window-tax was one of the most injurious , and tbat it ought to be repealed as soon ai the public revenue would bear the removal of the im * post . ( Hear , hear . ) It was true that he had de- voted himself to social questions affecting thecondi- tion of the working people , and , should he be re- turned to Parliament , it w » 8 his determination to continue to devote himself to them . ( Cheers . ) lie would not fatigue them any longer , but if he were returned , he should have attained the great object of his endeavours , and if he were defeated he should look blue , and that , after all , waa the true colour . ( Laughter . ) A show of hands was then taken , and was immensely in favour of Roebuck and Duncan . A poll waa demanded on the part of Lord Ashley . BRIDGEN 0 RTH . The nomination for this borough took place on Wednesday in the Town-ball . Mr T . C . Whitmore was proposed by Mr Wolryche W . Whitmore . ofDudmaaton . aad seconded by Mr W .
