( sooner , perhapa , thau these ministering powers think ) , viz . of cans-Scr a more equitable declaration on the part of those wh o sit as" judges in such important trials . As a consequence , we would point to the satisfaction afforded to the public nund ,
that venality has its boundary line ; and further , that when these differences occur society looks to the evidence adduced ; and when tiiere is wanting that which would prove the law to be outraged , judges wiU not be suffered , b y their own class distinctions , to fill up the va-uity . That this has been done in the present case , the report of the trial establishes ; but that it will yet be admitted as condemnatory to the accused , is another question , concerning which there ought not to be any donbtrifjcBiceweremeetedouttoall . landthis trial
To the working men of Eng , speaks the language of caution and decision . It seems to say to them in feeling words , " You are as friendless as you are reputed to bo dangerous . What you are you , will always be until you act as men , intent upon one obtect—content with no less than it , —viz ., justice for your order . " What are the toiling millions doing now * They see their ordinary princes invaded , their right to combine so narrowed in its operation as to become almost valueless ; they see around them manifestations of political improvement , and an eventful Tear before them , and still their organisations f or the expression of their thoughts and
wishes are permitted to founder , to be wrecked upon a coast of Whiggism , perhaps the most gaudy , if they knew all , they ^ would desire to le cast on . Oh , it is a pity to see a great party thus disbanded , not for want of discipline and a given purpose , but simply because of their own inanity Leader * ; what do well-intentioned men want with them ? save but for the unity of command , and as exponents of the will of others in every district ; working men have amongst themselves sufficient intelligent aioa to guide their steps in a right direction ; and if but sincerity characterise the actions of those entrusted with command , then let the members be satisfied , and work oat for themselve 3 their own politicai and social salvation .
If the past has begotten complaint , let the future beget confidence . A great principle cannot perish , because injudicious men have attempted to expound it . The Charter is a « M principle ; hence it is the same now as yesterday , and will be so to-morrow , until its appeal be acquiesced in , the demands of the suffering classes be fairly heard . The Stafford trial is a call to union amongst the entire body of working classes . It 3 end will serve the Chartist cause , by proving the necessity for an organic change . And the position assured by the accused is but another proof that there is a dignity in poverty , which is the more resplendent , because it is not clothed in
ermine . To the Chartists of England , we would conclude by saying , —look to your societies and organisations : strengthen them as best you caul for the Reform Bill of 1852 must be made to approximate to the Charter so closely , that It the name De objected to , the provisions thereof shall be acceded . Your unity will do this , as certain as the year will come ; but your disunion , or your apathy , which is . for all practical purposes , the same thin" , will ruin your cause , as workers , and keep ' the Charter of your adoption as remote ftcia acceptance as ever . r Censok .

THE LATE AFFRAY WITH THE POLICE IN ' SHOE-LANE . A public meeting w » s held on Tuesday evening at -the " Literary Institution , St . Peter ' s Terrace , Saffron Hill , to take this subject into consideration , and also to consider tbe nanner in which tbe police had prevented the witnesses in this case from appearing to identify the guilly party .-~ Mr . jW . Brooke having , been , called to the chairi / JBpened the proceedings by reading letters apologising for the absence of Lord Dudley Stuart , (^ botoras to have taken the chair ) and also from Lawrence Heyworth . The chairman said that there conld be no doubt that the man Hogan had neen'brutally murdered , ; and , seeing that the
policeman who without doubt had struck the blow had been allowed to escape , and that the City authorities were inactive in tbe matter , a few liberal men in the neighbourhood had called a meeting on Clerkenwell Green , and addressed a memorial to Sir George Grey , praying an investigation into the case . To that memorial they had received for answer , That the City Police were not under his jurisdiction , but that he had forwarded copies of their letter and memorial to t % ^ rd ^ Mayor . " Official lette ' iii fr ora that qattteJfSwere gene »^ u ^ iie 1 i-^ gR ijle , butJhe ^ preaent wa& . plain anSbrief . ' > had , however , one fault , it left the matter exactly where U found it . ftiey . had ippl ' md tothe , Cy
authorities ,. but could not get justice , ' they then applied to Sir George Grey , who referred them back again to the City . - . Sir George expressed no opinion as to whether the . case should be . tt&en itp by Parliament , nor whether he considered the people of Clerkenwell justified in taking the steps they had done . It was another proof that the government had no sympathy with the people , and never would have until they were elected by them . They must continue to agitate this subject until both the press and the public took it up , and the police , especially the City police , were taught humanity . The chairman , during a long address , was loudly cheered . Mr . Weedon moved the following resolution : —
That , in the opinion of this meeting the conduct of the Police Commissioners and other authorities of the City of London is highly nnworthy of their character for justice and humanity in not causing a strict investigation to be made in order to identify the police-officer , Who , according to the evidence adduced , brutally murdered the unfortunate Thomas Hogan , The speaker , in a distinct manner , explained the whole circumstances of the case , and informed them that on the Tuesday previous Mr . LonR attended at their meeting and stated that the police were annoying him , and endeavouring in every way to induce him to quarrel with them . He wished their advice as to the manner in which he should act .
They advised him to go quietly home and not be by any means induced to give them an opportunity of arresting him . The man went away , but before he got home was charged with an assault upon the police , and committed to prison for one month . He was the man who swore to the identity of the policeman who struck the blow . ( Shame . ) On the same night the house of Mrs . Long was broken open by the police in a most shameful manner , and she was dragged off to prison on a charge of throwing a brick out of her window at the police . The evidence not being sufficient to commit her she was remanded until Saturday ; Two respectable
householders gave bail / or ber , one of whom was immediately charged by the police with being a thief and a companion of thieves . Mr 3 . Lang waa also another witness in the above case . ( Shame . ) On Saturday she was discharged , it being clearly evident that the policeman had perjured himself . He ( Mr . Weddon ) was ashamed of his fellowmen that they allowed such things to exist and did not indignantly rise and abolish them . He called upon them to see justice done to the moth ' er of the murdered man , to call meeting after meeting in the city until they made both the authorities and the government thoroughly sift the matter . ( Cheers . )
Mr . Lee seconded the resolution , and commented strongly upon the conduct of tbe police in endeavouring to imprison the witnesses against them . If auch a state of things was not checked no man would be able to walk the streets in safety . He bad waited upon the authorities and told them that he knew the murderer of tbe man Hogan . He was told that if he did he conld arrest him if he could procure sufficient force . Was not that bitter mockery ? Not a single step had been taken ; not a shilling of reward had been offered for the discovery of the murderer , though three weeks had elapsed since it was committed . Did not this justify him in saying that the authorities were endeavouring to burk the matter ? He called upon them all to turn policemen and apprehend the man whenever they could discover him . Tbe resolution was then carried unanimously .
Mr . JIaggs moved the second resolution as follows : — That the police , by the manner in which they hare acted to the witnesses Long and hi wife , have shunn that they were the real ofienders in this case , and in this lUtCinpt to hinder these witnesses from appearing to give evidence against them have been endeavouring to serene themselves from the consequences of this murderous deed . They talked of the despotism of the police in other countries , and boasted of the superiority of their own—how ill it agreed with the facts before them . It was now proved that a policeman might murder a poor man without incurring the slightest danger . The evidence proved that he ordered the man who
was sitting on his door-slep to go in , the man prepared to obey himk but not moving so quickly as suited the policeman , he beat him in such a dread ? ful manner as to cause his almost immediate death ; for this inhuman offence justice was refused them . They now appealed to a higher tribunal , that of public opinion . Let the people but rise in their strength and demand retributive justice , and the government would be compelled to concede it . The speaker concluded by stating , that if the £ 800 , 000 we yearly spent in putting down crime was to be spent in educating the people , they would soon be able to reform the present vicious system . Mr . T . M . Wheeler seconded the resolution , and corroborated the whole of the statement made
relative to tbe treatment of the witnesses by the policeman . The case was the most scandalous which had ever come under' his notice . The idea that the law gave some protection , however slight , to the lives and property of the working men , was the only tie which bound working men to the rest of society . Let them once dissipate that idea , and the whole system would perish . The authorities were bound by every tie , including that most powerful one of their own welfare , to see that prompt justice was done to the friends of the murdered man . If that link was not made whole , the whole chain was weakened , and its stability for ever impared . Mr . Wood moved the next resolution : —
That a public meeting be called in the heart of ths City of London , to demand that the policeman be given up in order that he may be put upon his trial for the wilful murder of Thomas Hogan . The speaker dwelt on the facts of the case , and complained that the people had neglected their duty or tho delinquent would not have gone so long unpunished . He trusted the committee would speedily be enabled to engage the City of London Taveru , and make up for the time that had been lost . Mr . "WiSMiii , at some length , seconded the
resolution , and gave many further particulars relative to the brutal catastrophe . On the previous Tuesday they had come to a resolution , as public meetings wero so expensive , not to'hold any more upon the aut-ject ; but to devote their attention to capturing the policeman . No sooner were the police aware of this , than on paltry pretences , they got the witnesses locked up , thinking their only friends had deserted them . This showed them the necessity of renewed exertions . They should render the number of the policemen so offensive , thai no other man in the force might be willing to take it m the
division . Mr . JoHNsoJf supported the resolution at some length . Government some time back wanted to have the control of the entire police of the metropolis . The reasons adduced by the City of London in opposition were , that the people were satisfied with tho conduct of the force , and that they were more under the control of the inhabitants than they wonld otherwise be . This present case would go far to deprive them of all grounds of opposition , and it was therefore unwise in them not to see justice administered . Mr . Osbornk also supported the resolution . Mr . G . Whebleb moved a vote of thanks to the chairman , wjjo replied at some length , and urged

autaowties acted from private maliOB ^ or the secret approbation of the government , And also to cause an inquiry to be made into , tho treatment of those prisoners now in exile ,, and sufferiDgfrom the infamous Powell Plot , with a view to a mitigation of their sentouces . " . He complained that during the last fifteen , or . sixteen years , great encroachments have been iriSae upon the privileges of political prisoners . The hvr only demanded the safe custody of such offenders , but the Chartist prisoners had , in many instances , been degraded below the common felon . ¦ It was now their intention , with the aid of their Parliamentary ' friends , to lay such a mass ef evidence before the House of Commons next session , as would effectually prevent political prisoners in future , from suffering similar atrocities .
Mr . Fussell seconded tbe resolution , lie said that he was satisfied that the death of Sharp and Williams was tho result of neglect and bad treatment . He saw them in good health , and in six days afterwards they were both dead . The cholera was in the prison at tho tine , and Williams was confined ' in .-. a cell next to the infirmary . He advised all persons . when in prison , not to complain to the prisoa authorities , but to write to the Government , beoause whenever they could get their case brought forward , the House of Commons would compel the production of tbe
correspondence . Most of them had read Ernest Jones s petition , and it was bad enough , but there were others present who had suffered a great deal more . He called upon the country to support the Association , as it would be the means ef protecting others When suffering in the cause of future reforms . The Ciuirmin in putting the resolution , which was carried unanimously , observed that the Political Victims were obtaining the sympathy of the Caledonian press , the Glasgow Sentinel Maying taken notice of their proceedings during the last two weeks .
Mr . Proutisg moved the following petition : — To the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland , The petition of the undersigned , Sheweth , That your petitioners have to complain of the illegal manner in which their trials were conducted . That some of your petitioners were tried without tbe reading of their indictments to the court or jury . That some of your petitioners were denied the use of writing materials and books for the purpose of arranging their defence : Th t soino of your petitioners were tveat * d a * felons , although they were only found guilty of misdeneanour . That your petitioners were fed upon unwholesome food , and some of your petitioners can prove that they had beef served out to them that died from natural causes . That your petitioner * can prove that some of their number were brought to an untimely death by being confined in damp cells , the want of proper dietary , and the cruelties of the silent system .
' Your petitioners therefore pray your honourable house to cause an investigation to be made into these charges . And your petitioners , as in duty bound , die . . He stated that when the governrnent'felt themselves ashamed of the rotten evidence brought against'the victims of the Powell plot , they held out a promise , through their solicitor , that if the remainder would plead guilty to the misdemeanor they would abandon the charge for felony , and they would be treated as first class prisoners , but ; like all the othor promises of the Whigs , they were only made to be broken , for they experienced worse treatment than murderers and those for filthy crimes . Mr . Aunoi / d seconded the petition .
Mr . Bezrr , in supporting the petition , said that he was not allowed to see his wife for five months , although a prisoner in the next cell to him > aw his sweatheavt every other day ; but then the respectability of his crime was no doubt the cause of tho difference made between them , thofellow having only violated ^ wo children under eight years of age . The petition was unanimously adopted by the meeting , and a voteof thanks given to the Chairman and trustees of the chapel for their liberality in placing it at the disposal of the Association for the evening .

THE CONSPIRACY TRIAL OF THE WOLVEKHAMPTOX TIX-PLATE WORKERS . A public meeting was held on Wednesday evening at the National Hall , Holborn , to receive a report from ttie delegates appointed by the London Central Defence Committee , to watch the proceedings at the late trial at Stafford , against the journeymen Tin-plate Workers , and certain members of the Trades Committee The meeting was called for seven o ' clock . Shortly after that hour the committee entered , and were loudly cheered . Mr . Thomas Holmbs ( a London shoemaker ) , having been called to the chair , stated the objects of the meeting in a brief manner . It needed legislative inteiference to remedy the grievance complained of . Tho men coKveted at Stafford had done noching inconsistent with the rights of others , thev only endeavoured to protect the price of their
labour , and for this , if it had not oeenror tne aid of their fellow working men , they would now have been languishing in a dungeon . The chairman then alluded to the French tin-plate workers , who would address them during the evening . They would nevor have worked for Perry unless they had been entrapped . ( Cbecrs . ) One of the features in the indiotment was the return of tnese men to France , and it was argued that it was illegal to induce them to return . ( Laughter ) . If tho working men were to unite , they would soon make government interfere to alter the law . The chairman then alluded to a case of oppression among tho puddlera in Staffordshire , showing that the masters had in that instance conspired against the men ; but what was overlooked iu them was a heavy crime in others . Mr . IIumphrets moTed the first resolution : —
That this meeting , representing the industrial classes of the British metropolis , has watched with great interest the late trials for conspiracy , i nstituted by a clique of the master manufacturers of Wolverhampton , and from the reports of those trials which have reached them , they perceiv <* > with much surprise and indignation , that an insidious attempt has been made to pervert the ancient and invaluable institution of the trial by j ury into an engine of oppression , and a means of reducing the British labourer into the m-. re unreasoning serf and tool of capital when in the hands of bad men . He was convinced that trial by jury bad been most shamefully perverted in this instance , Most of them were acquainted with the origin of the strike ; The tinmen of Wolverhampton were desirous of improving their condition , by establishing one
universal book of prices in the town ; for this purpose the men brought out a book of prices , which they submitted to the employers for their perusal . After this a conference of the masters was called , to which the men were also invited , but this was only a trick to distract the attention of the men . As this attempt failed , tbe men adopted the book of prices as the standard of tbe town , thinking they had a right to do so . Some of the employers gave the prices , others refused to do so . The men then struck work to those masters , thinking they might as well die of ease a 3 of unpaid labour . Here commenced ttw conflict betm « tbe l ' mja and the men . The speaker then showed the . unjust manner in which the men bail
been treated by the Perrys ; and dwelt upon the illegal and unjust agreements they had forced upon the men . Those instances of oppression have been made familiar to ttie readers of the JSorthem S ( ar but they were new to many in the meeting , and created a strong sensation , lie then showed the manner in which Perry had entrapped the workmen from Paris ( several of these men entered while he was speaking , and were loudly cheered ) , and the treacherous manner in which he had possessed himself of their books and passports ; the resuk , however , was unfortunate for Mr . Perry , as the men returned to France , disgusted with him , and leaving their thanks and gratitude to the EnglUh" workmen for their hospitality . Perry ' s next

stop was to procure forty Germans . These men were now very dissatisfied , and it wonld take but little persuasion to induce them to . return also . - The speaker then went into the particulars of the Stafford trial , whioh was reported at length in this paperJastweek . During this long and reefed affiu ' r there had been no threats , no violence , save- in one instance , and that was on tbe part of the prosecutor , who was fined £ 5 tor the offence . , jffeey bad been indicted and convicted entirely for persuading their fellow working-men . If they bad not a right to do thia , what was the value of Trades ' Unions ? ( Cries of "None . " ) Be thought it not puly his duty to set a good price for his own
la-Donr , but by his funds and persuasion to induce others to do so likewise , for , without numbers , his own efforts would be futile . This waa all they had aono in this ease , this the judge called a conspiracy to molest others . ( Shame . ) If . this was law , the sooner they knew . it the better ; if they thew ' it was Ulegal to unite- and subscribe their funds to protect each other , he was sure his follow workmen , ti'om the Land ' s-end to John-o ' -Groats , wonld unite ; o get Buch laws altered . The speaker . sat down loudly cheered , ; . "; A person in the . body of the . meeting . stated toat some of the , qaily papers said that threats , had been made use of ; he wished to know if this was a ficti . ' • ' ¦ ?; ' rr \ , \ : ¦ ; ¦ ¦ .- . - ¦ ¦ y
The speaker replied"th ^ t one witness . had asserted ^ O ,. but his atatemeai X ^ s . ' unsupported , and his cbara ^ ter was iij > badthat the jury diaeavded tiis ^ evi dence : altogether . • Mr . French seconded the resolution . As a fellow toiler he wished to add his voice to others against this act of oppression . In his opinion the labour of the men was equal to the capital Of the employer . The Tinmen of Wolverhampton had behaved unpreoedentedly well in the strike . If they put up with the present decision , they might as well give up Trades' Unions altogether , God forbid , they shonld do this ; it would be destruction to the best interests of working men . Masters combined against men ; they had their meetings , olub houses , &c , and deserved prosecution far
more than the working men . It was because they were possessed of capital that the masters ruled rough-shod over them ; but if working frien would only unite , and if ono class would cease to look with disdain upon another , thoy would soon become too powerful for any set of capitalists . In the present instance the masters had been deceived ; the men had took up the cause with' a spirit worthy of them . Let them maintain thia good position , and the battle would be won . ( Cheers . ) Tho resolution was pnt , and carried uuanimously . Mr . Mbllob , one of the delegatos appointed to watch the proceedings at Stafford , by the London Committee , sitting at tho Beil Inn , Old Bailey , gave in a report of his mission , and stated tlie reasons that induced them to engage Mr . Roberts as their
solicitor to defend the men . The report contained nothing but what our readers arc already aware of by means of the report of the trial . They had agreed to have a full report of the trial printed as a . pamphlet , and laid before the country . The summing up of the Judge was most partial ; the evidence foj the defence was so mumbled over that it was impossible for the jury to hear it , whilst that for the prosecution was widely difieren t . The speaker also commented upon the decision of the ury , which he characterised as being very incoi . « Bistent , and utterly opposed to the evidence . He gave a high character to the French workmen present . He had that day seen Louis Blanc , who had been to see his countrymen , and would lmve attended that night had it not been for important
reasons ; he wished him ( the speaker ) to inform the meeting that his heart was with them , and that labour with them , as in France , must look to itself . The name of Louis Blanc created immense applause . He concluded by stating , that in his opinion , if this case was lost , the rights of labour in this country would be entirely destroyed . The following is the translation of the speech which was read to the meeting : — " Dear Friends : We are very happy to be able in this assembly , amongst fellow workmen , to protest solemnly against the unworthy conduct of George Henry Perry , the manufacturer . We come to declare frankly , that the allegations stated by him against Ihe workmen of Wolverhampton , are all false . ( Cheers . ) ; Our country is not yours , but our
situation is tho same , and the French workmen declare to you , through us , that they con-idor you as brethren . ( Enthusiastic and protracted cheers . ) Havo you not always been like us till uojt , the slaves of ; the capitalists ? ( Hear , hear ) . Has not the self-will of the masters always been against your most sacred interests ? Tho burden you bear , citizens , we have already lightened , it ia true , for since wo havo left London—eight months ago—a very happy transformation has taken place with us . We ore now members of a great association which increases in power daily , and seems to be already the fear of the capitalists . We are our own masters —( cheers)—each member of the association ia
the sovereign , and no power but the right can control or fix the price of our daily labour . ( Tremendous applause ) . We are all interest' d in tbe success of our association ; we work with courage , for the benefits which we derive out of our productions ia our own individually . ( Renewed cheers . ) We did not wish to part with your hospitable country , without expressing all our gratitude for the fraternal reception you gave us . ( Cheers . ) You understand , citizens , that the disinherited of this world are all brothers by nature —( checrs ) --whatevcr country they . belong to , and ought to protect each other , and agree together . ( Prolonged applause ) . Therefore when we learned that the character of
our English brothers was attacked—when the very man who cheated them and us intended to insuio them , we directly came to London , in order to protest strongly against falsehood , and support the truth . ( Great cheering ) . We regret , citizens , to be compelled to return to our native country without knowing the end of tho action brought against you , If to bo hospitable and kind is a crime , you are guilty , very guilty ; it is the only crime wo can accuse you of . In the namo of my four brother workmen , and of all the democratic workmen of France , I pray you to accept the following sentiment : —' May the union of the working men of tho world bo cemented by bonds of friendship , and confidence in Diich other . '" ( The cheering , at the close , was continued for some time . ) Mr , Greenslade said , that when the deputation
was sent to Paris to bring over the French witnesses they told thorn they would rec ive 6 s . por day when the Frenchmen replied , " No ; they only earned five francs per day at Paris , and they would receive no more for coming to London . " ( Cheers . ) Mr . W . Clark moved the following as the se oond resolution , after repudiating the use of violence , which ho said was not necessary to the success of so good a cause : — j&That it ha 9 always been considered by the ' working classes of Great Britain that the right of peaceful industrial combination for the mutual protection of their common interests , was amply and permanently secured to them by the act of parliament , Gth Geo . -I . cap . 129 , and they solemnly repudiate and will resist by every lawful means any , and every attempt by any power to encroach upon or invalidate ^ this their essential and invaluable privilege .
Mv . Cummisos seconded the resolution . Some of the manufacturers had said that if a conviction were not obtained , capital would leave the country . He wished they Avould all go and take their capital with them ; they could not take the soil upon their backs , and with that , clear heads and ready hands , the working classes would soon bo able to accumulate capital sufficient for their purpose . At present they wanted more political power , and must endeavour to obtain it . ( Cheers ) . He waa not an advocate for strikes when they could be avoided ;
but if it had not been for strikes and the fear of strikes , the trades would have been in a much worse position than they then found themselves . ( Cheers ) . Mr . J . AIerihmas supported the resolution , af " firming that the working classes must either stand idly by , whilst masters reduced wages to the continential level , or throw themselves boldly into tbe political struggle . now going on , in order to obtain laws bettor adapted to the requirements of labour . The resolution having been agreed to , Mr . Adkis moved the third resolution , viz . : —
That while seriously deprecating any unlawful invasion of ttlD capital , the intention , now for Ihe first time openly avowed , of constituting ' peaceful persuasion' an indictable offence , is a violation of the spirit and letter of the stutute law before referred to , and an intolerable encroachment upon the liberties of the British labourer . This meeting do therefore pledge itself , individually and collectively , to use its most strenuous efforts to furnish the pecuniary resources requisito for the defending this invaluable right , and , if necessary , of carrying up their appeal to the highest Court of Judicature , and falling there , of commencing an aetiva agitation through the length and breadth of the land , for such a legislative enactment as shall place upon a fnir and equitsible basi * , tbe laws relative to master and workman . Mr . Hudson" seconded tho resolution , reoommending an endeavour to procure universal suffrage as tho only likely means of betterin g the condition of the working classes . Mr . J . TOmok supported the resolution . He hud taken an active part m opposing similar vxmw-

Man wishing to constitute Hbeiity for raan alone only constitutes the right of nnVht . Mara wishing to constitute equality only amGHgst mea constitutes partiality . ; The Charter decla ? ea that popular ppateetion ought to be refused to all frank electoral restraints , but it only mentions man , when it affirmi that every male adult who has been convicted of crime ought not to be deprived of right of voting : when he has undergone his punishment ; is- it not more unjust that woman , who has committed-no crime .
should be deprived of the right of voting- —who is excluded from the right oT civil , < and'political equality , when you proclaim the freedom of all ? Ought she to remain benfc under the yoke 0 / a prejudice , of which tho origin runs baek to- th » time of barbarity , when no other right than that of being the strongest was recognised ? It is also by tho right of might that the proletarians , man , and woman , are disinherited of their right to the possession of the soil of the means- labour by a common custom ; and it ia to maintain the dominion of the privileged class , that tha proletarian , men , like women , being looked upon only as a machine for the production , are deprived ' of the right of education to the complete development of all their faculties .
It 13 then with justice that the Chartist recognises the rights of children in proclaiming the necessity of gratuitous and obligatory education . But we cannot protect the child from the yoke of prejudices , and make good citizens and worthy of liberty ; but when we shall have become acquainted with tbe right of woman to civil and political equality , when the father and husband shall no longer have a claim to life , and to moral and intellectual influence over child and woman , when ) it shall no longer be permitted to them to mutilate the most noblo faculties of the woman and the child , to secure their dependence . The work of
enfranchisement cannot be complete and durable but by _ the radical extinction of all privileges of sex , of race , cast , birth , and fortune ; and the prejudices which fortify and perpetuate the empire of these privileges cannot be triumphed over but by the real practice of fraternal combination . Already hasEngland raised her voice in aid combination , in taking the initiative by tho universal exposition , all havo been admitted without exclusion of sex or race , all nations have been invited to this great congress of labour , and all , in imitating this glorious example , wilt contribute to establish among the people a powerful good of fraternal
combination . _ . i ; It is not only a national work , it is a work of humanity ; and it is not only a national work which ought to be the aim of the Chartist Convention : it is not a Rational Charter that it ought to endeavour earnestly to constitute , but the Charter of humanity , the Charter of the future . The Charter of the future can only be an act of universal association of all people who will guarantee to each o £ its members true liberty and equality in giving to each from his entry into Ufa a complete education , a complete development of all his faculties , physical , moral , and intellectual , and tbe means to exercise them , by an equal division of wovk , instrument , and produce of work .
It is from the bottom of a prison thnt two ladies of France send you this letter , and they submitted to this prison , not without some joy , sinco it is ono of the affirmation of civil , moral ' , and . political equality , which , after many Ion /? years , they claim for their aex . Elected inlSlO , 90 ' thnfc there wero soveral men of their persuasion , by their brothers , the workmen of Paris , to constitute the government of the association , tho rights of woman first took their attention by this election , as it waa later that they were obtained as their colleagues . But , before the condemnation , before , the process , a contract of union had been abridged ; and this contract , rudiments of the future constitutions , had made every member of the association acquainted with the rigbts of vote and equality to every function without distinction of sex .
Brother Chartists , shall you remain on this side of this act of justice accomplished by the Proletarians of France ? Would you , then , sons of this nation , which ought to be most advanced of all nations , will you , we ask , continue to condemn to political exile tho half of this generous people of Albion ? . Your declaration , shows that an immense step has been taken by you . Chartism has nearly become Socialism . Courage , brothers , yet an effort and you' will have many voices in future , —in this future which will not admitof any inequality . May ouv appeal be heard by you , and may Great Britain friend to France in the holy crusade of progress , admitting the rest of the world to liberty , equality , and to truthful fraternity , realise at least through you upon the earth tho kingdom of God promised by Christ . Fraternal Salute , Feaume Deroiss . Pauline Roi . vnd .
Tho following address was then moved by Mr . WitAiiEY , and seconded by RiciunD Buck , which , on boing put from the chair , was carried unanimously : — In reply to your very sensible and patriotic letter , we bo ;; to tender our lie . irt-fclt sympathy for your sulFerings iii so noble a cause , and likewise to inform you , that through our instrumentality nno Association for the specific olijoct of womens' enfranchisement is in existence in our town , which promises well .

Fissbubt . —On Friday evening TTilliam lYorseldine delivered a lecture at the Crystal Coffee-house on the life , oratory , and geniu 3 of Cicero . The lecturer said that no orator had , in his humble opinion , ever excelled Cicero in refined eloquence ; the pleasing variety of knowledge or ability , united with kindness , as a pleader ; for he found him exerting his eloquence and mental power in defending the poorest man against injustice and persecution ; and although the thunders of an arbitrary faction were continually hurled at Mm he did not yield , but prosecuted , with warlike energy , his laudable course ; a course which , though bri g ht , was occasionally dimmed by that cloud , which sooner or later hovered over the statesman ; either costing
suspicion on his motives , eclipsing lus acquired glory , or blackening his character by oblcquy . It was , therefore , well remarked by Pliny , in his panegyric , upon the Emperor Trajan— " that there never yet existed the man whose virtues were not eclipsed hy the dark and gloomy interposition of some vice . " The lecturer said , if Cicero had pan-Sered to kingly power and corruption he might have achieved pecuniary aggrandisement and glided down the stream of life without persecution ; instead of which his whole life vras a sacrifice on the altar of national liberty . Bsadfokd ( Yorkshire . ) — The usual weekly meeting was held ia the Democratic School-room , Croft-street , on Sunday evening last , August 3 rd ,
