Although not an enrolled member of the Chartist body , yet my warmest sympathies have ever been with them and their principles .

HOW TO GBT THE OHAETEB . TO THE IDITOB OF THE HOBTHEEH 8 IAB . Sib —As s middle olass retired tradesman , and o h o who pays a rent of £ 90 per annumfor a private resislenoe , and a constant reader of , and individual subscriber to , the Nobtiiebn Stab from its cemmen ' coment , I take the liberty of addressing these few remarks to yoo , t o say how deeply I , in common with many others , fed tbe lameRtable results of tbe presentation of the People ' s Petition for the Charter . I am no Chartist ia the ordinary meaning of the word , y et I h av e alwa ys beon f r iendly to the measure , and 'would rsatHly siga any proper petition eraDodytoK the whole of the 'SixPaints . I nave no doubt the government and their agents and spies have been most busy in the . matter , at the same time I fear there has been a great deal of indiieretioB—to say tbe least of it—displayed b y the friends—and pretended frUndsef . the measure , In any . obaerre that haro
ing this , I beg Jo I no hopo whatever from any petition or memorial simply , and unaocompanied by other proceedings . What gained the Reform BUI?—( Miserable and 8 ham piece of legislation as i » was and is now proved to be . ) Why , a simultaneous run upon the bank for gold , and that only . This plan then . togethcr with continuedout-door monBtcr meetings ' withdrawal of all monies from savings banks , benefit olubB , stookB , &o ,, aud turning tha proceeds instantly into gold—this to be pat in practice all over the country at one and tho Bame time , wi t h t o t al cessation o f labour , all thoaa things having a positlva tendency to sh a k o wha t i . B ealied National Credit' and ' National Faith' to its vory foundation , thereby keeping the government in constant fsar , nnd in constant eHormoua expenses ; so that in a very short time the wh&h o £ the iufemol system would go to pieces , and the Charter would spaadily become the law of the land .

THADES'UNIONS ILLEGAL—HUME'S ¦ - .- i ACT REPEALED . TO raEBDITOE-Or THE HOMHERH 6 iia , Sie , —The heading of this letter may , to maay of you ? readers , appear astoundinc , and some will likely enough turn to the debates in Parliament to ascertain who brought up the motion ; but instead Of looking to tfi 8 south tbe readers of the Stab will have to look to the north , There has this great feat been accomplished . The Inteenebs Coeeier of the 2 l 8 t March contains nearly four columns of tbe report of a trial in the Sheriff Ooui't , at Inverness , which , it seems , lasted thirteen hours . From the report , it would appear the boot and shoemakers in Inverness had some time ago formed themselves into a union for the protection of their wages , and the supporting each other in sickness
and at death . One of their laws inflicted a flee on any member who should be fonnd to have defrauded his employtr , and the whale of their laws appear to have been framed with care , and as much in favour of master as workmen ; and it is proven at tho trial tbat some of the masters took an active part in gettiugup thesooiety , and concocting its rules . One of the rules was to tbo effect ' that cutters or foremen should not do the work of journeymen in tho shop , ' as tho doing such work would prevent the journeymen from getting a fair share of the work . Another role was , ' that society men would not work along with non . society msn , As these two rules appear to have led to the dbpnte , trial , and conTlction , it is needless to quote further from the rules which are altogether the most moderate rules I have seen .
About the 8 rd November , a deputation from the Journ e ym e n 's Society called on ona of tbelr employers , and requested he would cease to fiive the making or dosing of boots to one of his foremen employed in the shop , as such was against tha rules . With this demand of the journeymen tho masters comply , but immediately lodge information with the Procurator Fiscal that they were intlmadated to do so , least their men should strike . About the same time , a deputation of tho workmen are sent to another employer ( who was in the habit of importing cheap shoes from the eastarn district of Glasgow and other places ) and intimated that they would in future refuse to cobble or mend the work so imported . Tho employer in this case also pretends to have complied , but loflgia information tbat he was intimidated into a compliance least his men should strike . A workieg journeyman is not to give information to ihe Fiscal , that he had been dismissed from a shop , becaus e he was in arrears to the union .
Five efthe leaders of the union are immediately ap . prebended , and after lying a considerable time in prison , their trial was brought on on ths 14 th ult . Not even an attempt is made on tbe trial to pcov&the slightest threat of violence in any of tho caseB , either against person or

property . Nay , the whole of the witnesses for the crovm swore that there was no other threat used tut tha * tka . workmen , after finishing the work they had on hand , WuHWtotWemployment . ! '¦¦'¦¦• ¦ ¦ ¦¦ — ¦ ¦' ¦ ' ¦ ' ' " .- It has always been uadtirstoixl hf'Untentits , ' and aems qt the hig hest authorities of-the land , tbat workmea were entitled to combine , and if they ; thought proper to fctrlko-HOtVproving tfaeyisraie us » % t > ft ; threatening louguafeo so a » to imiraidat » others either to join their ? union or atfiks . We believe it was Lord Cockbum » ho irisd Reid , the cotton spinner ,-in Glasgow , in 1837 , and la taralng to that trial , it will ba found , that his lorfsbip inpasiing sentence , said ^ hat Tfprbmea had a perfeofi ^ ight to co tnblsie , hot onl y to eotobine , but to stelks work , te obtain their point '; but ' iliey had no right 60

Reputedly havethe Sheriffs of Linarkshiremade similar » tatwnent » from-the bench ; •• Baron R ? lfe , - as judge ia the trials that took place after the turn out in 1842 , and ) n the iBors recent Warringtoncase , reiterated the ssxuq , bat to the honour of a Whig government it has beoi resorvod fer them to upset tke judges' enli ghtened oplolons on the right of tha -workmen to combine ; Repeatad trials ,, under Hume ' s act , have taken place ia different parts of Scotland , and in ever ? caes vhtto either threats' of compulsion or violence were used , ths parties were subjected to punishment , and that , to » , without tbe depute-adrbcBte for the crown stooping so low as . appearing in » common sheriff ' s court , that hie oppaaranco thero might carry with it all the weight of
bsiDg backed by tho crown . One would have thought the Lord Advocate would in these times of trouble had other and more important work for his depute-advoeajte ihsa sen&ag him aft the way io lartrness for the pafposeof obtaining the conviction of five shoemakers , who bad been guilty of nothing more than is ov ^ ry day piget l s ed in . Edinburgh , Glasgow , and every other pla « 8 whera unions exist . Sut it may be said this was aot a gnestipn respecting wages , and that tbe journeymen wsr « dictating to their employers . This I frankly . admit . Sut in what reiipeet were they dictating ? The employees adopt alias of poll&y towards th « men tfcat bad a'to . dtnoy , or a supposed tendency , to reduce wages , Ins te ad of paying the men an advanoo according to the demand ^ tbo employers import shoes from Dublin , Belfas t , die .. '
S ud terjlikely from France also .. Now . admitting tha sJgU of capitalists to pnrehase and import from where they choose , JureJy the boot and Shoemakers had'an equal right to say . ws will not mend these Irish asd French , shoes . Not one word of evldenbft that theworki men said , we will not permit otbers to mend them . Not ona word of threatening is iworn . to throughout'the whole trial , farther , than that if employers persisted in doing so tho men would strike work , and only in one instance was the word strike used . ' Previous to this trial W 6 elwfey * underateod workmen had aright n 9 t only fa threaten c strike , but , if they ofcoosed t o strike , they wore at liberty to do so . We sow find the reverse , and that with & vengeance , too , as the five poor shoemakers aro now languUsing in a felon '* cell , wteto they were
sentenced for two months ; Your cerreapondent Is aware ap appeal has in this cass been made to the higher courts , and that the opinion of all the lawyers who bave been comulted oa the subject is , that tbe convicting of these men is unjust ; but where n&v « theaa poor men , to « Bteans to carry thoir ease btfere tho higher court ! No deputation will in future be safe to go to any employe ? on any case whatever cohneoted with wages . The right , now enjoyed sinco 1835 ; of working men disposing of tboir labour to the beat-advantage has been tskea away . Sf * ry trade is « qu > liy affected bythis decision , which I consider asxffectually repeals Hume ' s act an if that bO 6 had new had a being , There is no use in as ; union wheraall thepowor is given merely to' collect funds and talk o . ver thtir grievances . Suppose - a dispute oecur
with engineers , miners , or any of the other trades around ; that moment a deputation is seat to the employer on 8 ST cass ; all ho has got to do is Is comply , and then . fora sound and say ho was intimidated into a oosapli&hoe for fear « f a strike . True ,-the Tims and other journals 9 f & like caste any the-people of Britain don ' t require any reform , aud that there is bo f « ar of a r » volutloB ; os action U fr » e in this happy nonvirj , where all are represented in parliament .

THE CHARTISTS OF CIRENCESTER TO WILLIAM ORIPPS , ESQ ., M . P . Sib , —On looking ov « r the -parliamentary report of Tharaday , tho 13 tk of April , we , ( the Chartists of Ciren * cester ) psroeivod ' j'ou were one of tho committee ap * pointed to examine tbe National Petition ; and we having beea instrumental in procuring signatures to that PetHieD , feel Hour duty to . reply to the unjust attack you havs made upon it . ; . We fe e l s q ual ly indlgnaat with yourself at any person affixing fictitious and obscene names to that Petition . We feel sure that the Chartists of the United Kingdom are too enlightened to have committed themselves in sach a manner ; we therefore feel assured that it mast havs faten done by some government spy or spies , who . th » r in or out of the Houee of Commons we leave yoa
to infer . | Sir , as regards the other portion of the report , which has reference to the eignatares in the same hand writing , we admit such to bo the cbbo , but it is not true that such are fictitious or forged names . We ofetsinsd one thousand eight hundred and twenty lo tbla town and neighbourhood , twelve hundred of which . ap « peared in only three different hand writing ; but we ean positively assert that not one name appeared in that Pe . titiou without the consent of the proper persons , Tanon ? rettsons may be assigned why it is so ; very many could not write . We obtained many names from our Menjds in the cmntry on slips of paper , which wore oarefulljf copltd , Man ; morev ? oxi \ d have signed it but were deterred from doing so , through the heartless tyranny ef their aristocratic employers , Ws believe that
your opposition is not so much to the signatures as to the prayer of tho Petition . Sir , now we come to tke assault you made upon tbe honourable member for Not . tingham , Fenrgus O'Connor , E »< j . His private character , notwithstanding the fi » rc » attack yoa made upon it , wa know to be unimpeachable . As for his public eharacter , the working classes of this country know that ho has never swerved from his duty towards them , and they are fully satisfied with bio untiring exertions its their babalf , therefore we do sot wender at the oppo « sltton he meets with , seeing he advocates our cause against tyranny and class legislation . For fifteen year ' s he has adhered to the cause of the people , without seeklcg .-place or reward ,. He has suffered : for them , and spent his time and his fortan * in trying to workout their
regeneration ; knowing this te be true we are content to remain 'his poor deluded dupes , ' as you call us , feeling confident' we So see blm in tbe right light ' . ' Wt adviBO yoa for the future to walk in the track of 8 ir Robert Peel , as it is more than probable that honourable gent leman will en c e more tak e . the seals of office ; should he do so you may possibly be . Bea ' ted upon the Treasury Bench again , A ' b your stay in offloo on tho late occasion waa of such shsrt duration , we . advise you to make ths best uso of your time ; as it is most likely it will bo tbe las t o p portu n ity affo r ded you b y t h e e lec t ors of t his placea , :. ..

A HUNDRED THOUSAND AT KENNINGTOtf .. TO IHE EDIIOB OF DOCQLAS JEBBOLD ' s 2 f £ WS « PAPBB . . Sib , —The mieraprosonrstions made by a member of the Lower Eouso , ' who stated that Eeaningtos Common could not hold more than ninety thousand persons , and that he was convinced that the highest number as * sembled thereon at the lste meeting did not ejeeed 15 , 000 , coupled with ota « r statements , have induced mo to examine and nuasure the ground contained within the fences , and I find It contains 156 , 003 square yards . Now as Iknow that in » densely packed meeting you may Bafely calculate that each square yard will or can ,
contain nine parsons , and ae that faot may be easily proved by numbers of men women , and children , of variesa Bizes , place'd . ina room of three or four square yards , it will speedily bo seen that K « nington . Common within the fences can hold a densely packed mob of 1 , 400 000 persons ; and if the surreuuding reads were also crammed , the whole area will ba found capable of holding the whola population of tho Metropolis ! 1 have , therefore , no hesitation in aaylng that , from the representations made me there were considerably more than 100 , 600 of all descriptions of pereons assembled on the late occa « sion .
I am no Chartist , nor am I aware that I have eyer even spoken to one ; the treatment , howevo ? , eipsrieBccd by that body will make me and many others sea tbelr just complaints in a very different light to what we have hitherto done . Instead of meeting their demands ia aa o p en fair , and honourable mannor , it is thought beet to oppose them by treaohery , misropreiwntatlon , and contumely . Thus it ever has been , from tho time of tha 'Saviour' down to the present hour , that those who war wiah bad principles are crucified or persecuted . The Tihbs acknowl e d ged that it saw Dothiogobjectionable in tbe sis points of « the Charter ; » ueithet do I ; although , I could wish as regards 'Suffrage , ' some modification were made . It may do for traitors to . jaer at the Tlctoria and SnubnoBts , Wellington and Pugnoses , Introduced into the petition , but the very circumstance thereof will aid instead of defeating tfc 0 Chartist cause ; and all impartial persons will at once sse that the ansuspecting ChaJtists have been duped by those whose objeot it was and is to botray them . „ ' Ti W » MUBKKTi Bdxton , April Wth , 1818 , "
