FOKHATIpK AND OBJECTS OF THE GREAT -NOBTEDEBN - TOSION . ¦ In pursuance ofa resolution past on Wediussday Ae ^ th ^ f April , 1838 , nt a general Tneetmg of the Sworimg Men ' s Association , convened by SSiisinent , Mr . George mite , in the chair :-The several persons appo inted as a committee to Arm vp the objects and roles of an union to be called the Great Northern Union , met on Friday evening ,, the 27 th instant , at the Northern Star office , in pursnance of the order of the meeting , -chen Mr . George Robertson ¦ was called to the chair , and Mr . Feargns O'Connor acted as secretary , at ¦ which meeting your committee resolved xrpen the several objects to be contended for by the union and the rules tor its management , -which ; your committee has now the honour to submit for your consideration .
OBJECTS . First—That inasmuch as 'the Reform BDl has failed to produce any practical benefit for the yt orking classes , and , inasmuch as all unions of worting men lave hitherto been * duped by the two political factions alternately holding usurped power in the state , the time has now arrived when a great struggle should be made by the peop le to induce the government to concede those political privileges without which the working classes m T « r can hope to secure to themselves protection for life and property , or a just remuneration for their industry . ^ Secondly—That as it is impossible to expect jns--tice from a party in power and -which power has arisen from andis perpetuated by the union of the few exclu
supported by force and plunder , and is nsea - sively for the benefit of the privileged order , we deem it indispensable that aprinapal object shall be boldly to insist upon the adoption and legal recognition of a --new constitution suiting the great improvements of ; ike age , baiednponM agnaChartaand the billofrightsj and inasmuch as those for who-e protection "union is necessary , have been deprived of the right of nominating their own representatives , and whereas the li g ht of appc al , which was throughpetition , has been ¦ vir tually abrogated , one of the chief objects of the great IS orthern Union , will be to restore the right of Suffrage to every male adult not tainted with crime , and ofsound mmd , and the right of petition to aU . " A third object to which public attention should be
-directedj-is , that an extensive incorporation of the -working classes , win afford to every man an oppoptnnity of taking advantage of those means for urging . popular demands , which union , well adrised , never felisto effect . 4 . A further object to which your committee feels confident the energies of theuuion will bedirected , is tae adoption of rfomesound and practical means _ of opposing the strong arm of virtuous organization to the unjnst administration of bad latrs , and that men will discover the absurdity cfsubmittingto the mal-administration of things as they are , while they attach all importance to a complete change in our political system . Your committee , therefore , encourage themselves to believe , that the union will meet -oppression , and strangle it when ever it presents itself . Another object of the ynionis , in order to create a goodfeeling among the several trades , mechanics and other working classes , to establish a thorough
conviction in the minds nl all , that there can be no separate interests in a community so politically , and socially boand together as the working classes of this great empire ; and to inculcate a knowledge of the fact , that when one of a community is oppressed the -whole community is oppressed , through the suffering of one of its members . Fifthly . Another object which should be kept prominently in view , is the- absolute necessity of being prepared to meet any injurious results which maS * be entailed -upon the industrious classes , by a partial decision of a committee of capitalists now sitting upon the question of Trades Unions , and that no time should-be allowed to intervene between the sabjagation of one Union , and ilieperfect organization of another , ¦ which should be ready to supply the place of that which avarice marked , and oppression may overcome .
Sixthly . That the last , but not the least object -which your committee confidently anticipate the great Northern Union will constantly keep in view , is the uniting together , upou the general principle of justice , all those who though Iovmj ; peace , are resolved to risk their lives in the attainment of their rights . Your committee doi therefore , deem it expedient , that before joining tie union every member should distinctl y understand , that in the event of moral force falling to procure those privileges which the constitution guarantees , but which a party
¦ would abrogate ; and should the constitution be in-Taded , it is resolved that physical force shall be resorted to if necessary , in order to secure the equalitv of law , and the blessings of those institutions which are the birthright of freemen . That as ~ the object of yielding allegiance , is to receive protection , the fact of -withholding protection is a violation of the bond , which shouldTrind subjects to a monarch ; and therefore , the union should recognise no authority save that which emanates from the legitmate source of all honour , namely , from the people .

PUBLIC MEETING AT KEIGHLEY ON THE FACTORY QUESTION . On Monday a public meeting of the Inhabitants of Keighley was holden in the Hall of the Radical Association , Upper Green , for the purpose of considering the present . condition of Factory Workers , and the proposed alteration in the Factories' Regulation Act to be effected hj the Bill of-Mr . Fox Maule . The meeting was convened at a brief notice by the town crier . The importance of the ' subject , however , and tie deep interest necessarily felt therein by the labouring population , supplied tie lack of more effective means of advertising , and a goodly number of operatives thronged the Hall , that their opinions on this long agitated subject , which .
most of them iave painful reason to understand so well might be again recorded-Mr . D . W . Weatherhead haring been unanimously called to open the "business of the meeting in a short bnt effective speech , the subrtance of which was that he had the more pleasure in acceding to their re--quest , that he would occupy the chair on that occasion , because he recollected that he had the honour of being chairman at the first meeting ever holden in Keighley for the agitation of this question . They hal now thought fit to place him again in that position , and his fervent prayer was that this might be the last meeting necessary to be holden on the subject—that so he might be the Alpha and the Omega of this agitation in the town of Keighlfiy . It was inleed high time that the chafing of our blood
should cease—that the monstor should relax the fellness of his grasp , and allow his victim to breathe freely and securely . It was not accordant with his views of order and propriety for a chairman t © occupy much time with a discussion of die subject they had assembled to consider . Resolutions relative thereto had been prepared and would be submitted to their notice by speakers , who , lie had no doubt , would place them before the meetingin an intelligible , light . He then called on Mr . Joseph Fibth , who moved the first resolution , ~ That , in the opinion of this meeting , the Bill for Regulating the Labour of Children and Young Persons in Factories , brought in by Mr . Fox Maule , is unsatisfactory and deceptions . " Mr .. Firth could not tike exactly the position of . their worthy and excellent Chairman .. He had not been the first
speaker at the first meeting on this subject in iveighley , though he had the honor of being allowi-d on 5 jat occasion to lift up his voice in company with his fellow townsmen in denunciation of the horrors and the injustice of the factory system , of which he had hadeightyeare sorrowful experience . He had on that occasion been permitted to supply the unexpected vacancy of a reverend gentleman who , having promised to move a resolution was , from some cause , absent . If he recollected lightly , this was now six rears ago and it appeared to him to be a very hard case that they should De still called upon ( after ail the evidence which had been adduced , and all the discussion which ; Jwl occurred , ) to reiterate their opinion that children ought not to labour more than
ten hours daily . He would not attempt to conceal Ms opinion that if this question had beenjtaken up in earnest by the clergy , and the ministers of various denominations , it would hayfrbeen perfectly setded , and on a footing much more advantages * e suffering infancy , long ere this . It did peem to him' a most inconsistent thing that the bowels of compassion ¦ with which priests of every kind laibeen so liberall y supplied , -were incapable of sympathy only in- behalf of objects at an immense distance irom immediate observation . He blamed not ministers of the gospel for the earnestness with which their impait&QSDed eloquence was poured forth in pleading the cause of unhappy negro . God forbid that he should do bo . Bnt ne could not avoid looking with suspicion on - the sincerity , of those who thns powerfully moved by contemplating oppression , - while mighty oceans -Tolled between them and the objects of their com-- passion , could yet look with apathy on misery and Tsfcwerr sad- oppression in their immediate naek .
-bourhood . ( Hew , hear . ) He recollected Mr . Baines ixaving , inrefereiice to commercial policy , observed that we most not aim aX retrograding , but at moving forward . Now . the desirableness of backward or forward movement seemed to him to depend entirely upon -which vrgj ihej ' TCagbX hajjpen to be smug .

of Ms-audience , and conjured wem to be united for the exercise . and . enforcement bf that jirinciple of charity which * iCTar 4 * - . &Il ^ in en . ;~ a 8 : epbfl ^ . / . tii > the rights of healthy hTe ^ and freedom , which he averred to be greatly abrid g ed by the baneful operation of the factory system , in an unrestricted condition ; and on which account it was their duty to watch most carefully over the restrictions that had been placed upon it ( from . whatever motive ) that they might be rather increased than lessened . The resolution having been put from the chair , was carried unanimously . ¦
The second resolution— "That in the opinion of this meeting , no alteration ought to be permitted in the present Factories' Act , which will abolish the education clauses , or which would extend the honrs of labour for- children under thirteen years to more than eightfcours , or that of persoM \ above thirteen years of age to more than ten hours daily , under any circumstances , " wasmoved by . Mr . Jiwis Bedfobd in a lengthy . and animated speech—describing the Bill as being rank . Whiggery from end to end—as slippery as an eel in the Tiand . The former clauses of it provided that children xhrvnU -not be received into the mills unless they
could read , and that young persons should _ not be r eceived unless they could read well ; while the latter clauses provided mat the inspectors might giant licenses to the mfflowner in case of necessity—to employ children who could not read at alL _ Now there could not be any douT ) t that the " necessity " would occur whenever trade was brisk and the demand for hands was great—and that whenever a slack trade came they would find it convenient to bring the reading clauses into operation—thus would their hypocrisy be furnished with a fresh excuse , and they would be turned off and set on by law , just a « s as the millownen' ' . ' necessity" might chance to demand .
Mr : Thomas . Kkowxes seconded the resolution , which was . carried unanimously ; one person having previously suggested that the words ' vraght not to be permitted ^ should be subsdnited' by " shall not be permitted . " This was not seconded and the resolution passed in its original form . The Rev . W . Hill , from Hull , moved " That the following Petition be adopted by this meeting , signed by the Chairman on behalf of the meeting , and forwarded to Sir George Strickland for presentation , and that J > ord Morpeth and Edward Baines . Esq ., be respectfully requested to support its prayer . " The petition to which the resolution refers and for which we cannot afford space was then read by the speaker and supported by a Jew pithy and appropriate observations , after which having been seconded by Mr . Gillitt Shabpe , it was carried unanimously . Thanks were then voted to the Chairman and to Mr . Hill , and the meeting separated .

HOUSE OF LORDS , Friday , April 27 . Their Lordships assembled this day after the Easter recess . The Lord Chancellor took his seat at five o ' clock . The Marquis of SLIGO and other Peers , pres * nted annmberof petitions in favour of the total ' abolition of slavery . In answer to a question from the Earl of W . ! NCHELSEA . Lord MELBOURNE said that neither Turton , nor any other professional gentleman , had as yet been appointed legal adviser to the Earl xif Durham on Ids mission . to Canada . ¦ - The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented several p etitions praying for an alteration of the law relating to copyright . Adjourned at a quarter before six o ' clock .
Monday , April 30 . Lord LYNDH . URST inquired whether it was the intention of the Government to renew the Order in Council regarding the enlistment of British subjects in the service of her Majesty the Queen of Spain . Lord MELBOURNE repeated the answer , that any renewal ef such order was not contemplated . Lord LYNDHURST thereupon remarked , that , by the Foreign Enlistment Act , British subjects would subject themselves to a severe penalty- _ by entering into or continuing in foreign service , without the license of the Crown ; and that he
understood that many persons now in the service of the Queen of Spain intended to continue in such service after the 8 th of June . Lord MELBOURNE observed , that although it was not the intention of the Government to renew the Order in Council , it would be a matter for the consideration of the advisers of the Crown , whether a special license should not be granted to those who intended to continue in the Spanish service . The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said , he thought that this was an ad-mission of the entire failure of the policy of the Government in regard to Spain . -
Lord MELBOURNE r ejoined , that the Noble Lord might draw what inference he pleased , but that he begged leave to protest against any such inference . The Earl of LONDONDERRY inquired whether there was to be any alteration of the time fixed for the coronation , and whether the coronation was to be conducted agreeably to the former plan . Lord MELBOURNE answered that it was intended to defer the coronation for a day or two , but to iix it in tfee same week , the postponement being in consequence of an objection to the day as the anniversary of the death of GeorgeiIV . He did not think there was much weight in this objection , inasmuch
as there- was hardly a day in the year that might not be traced to be the anniversary of some melancholy event . \ Vith regard to the second question , it was not the intention to depart jfrom the ceremonial as announced in the proclamation : by adhering to it , precedent would notbe violated , while fatigue to her majesty ani expense to the country would be avoided . The Earl of SHREWSBURY gave notice that , on May the 8 th , he should bring forward a motion on the subject of the correspondence that had taken place between the Bishop of Malta , the court of Rome , &c
The Earl of WINCHELSEA said he understood that Mr . Turton had sailed for Canada , and inquired whether he had done so at the public expense , and with the cognisance ofgovernment . Lord MELBOURNE answered thatif Mr . Tnrton had gone to Canada , and he believed that such was the fact , that individual had proceeded without appointment , or the promise of any " public" appointment , from the government or Earl Durham . The routine business having been disposed of , their lordships adjourned .
Tuesday , May 1 . The Poor Relief ( Ireland ) Bill , was read a first time and ordered to be read a second time on Monday , the 24 th . Earl STANHOPE presented petitions from numerous places in the county of Kent against the Poor Law Amendment Act . The Noble Lord read a letter from a clergyman in the parish in Went Kent , confirming the statements ofme petitioners as to the unhappy working of the Bill , and denying the statements of a petition recently presented to their Lordships from the chairman , depnty
chairman , and magistrates , of that division of the county . The writer stated several instances of suffering , and even increased mortality , in the union workhouses , under the severe operation of the act . The clergymen in his neighbourhood all concurred with him in condemning the harsh and unchristian working of the act . Taey were unlike a Right Ret . Prelate . ( Alaugh . ) - Earl HARDWICKE asked-Was it the intention of the Noble Earl to refer the petition to the Poor Law Committee ? ¦" ! "¦¦
Earl STANHOPE was understood to reply in the negative . Viscount SIDNEY said that the petition presented Tjyhim from the chairman and deputy chair * - man of the West Kent Union , did not profess to be the petition of the guardians . Earl STANHOPE said , that in the event of a committee being appointed to inqnire into the working ofihe Poor Law Amendment Act , he would Sroduce before it , as . a witness , the clergyman whose stter he had read , and who would prove more cases of the cruel , unconstitutional ^ and unchristian working of the act than the House could get through in a session . ( Alaugh . ) One of these was that of a man who killed' hiniself in consequence of the
treatment he suffered in the workhouse . A coroner ' s jury brought in a verdict of temporary insanity , but it ought to have been wilful murder against the oppressors of the poor , who drove the man insane . ( Laughter . ) Another cage was that of a young woman , who was flogged like a * oldier . ( Hear . ) Hejiopedthatthe committee would inquire into all these facto , and that the Poor .

had already ocenrredunder the new poor law m . 5 « Bure . Their lor ^ shis * * ere aware o ^ the wtporw whichltad appearedm top jraWi ^ jptu ^ gfesRejatog the Bridgewater nnioili ; If those reports were trae , there must have been wry great neglect Qn the payt of the guardians of that union , ft wa « said that many of the panpersvliad-been-seriousl y injured in their health , and that some of them had been nearly poisoned by the food which had biaett there administered to- them . If such an occurrence had taken S lace , the punishment which would have beaninr icted would have prevented a repetition , of the offence . Thinking tne law already sufficient ^ it was not bi 3 Intention to propose any new- law forith ^ cprrection of such abuses as those to which he refenred .
He thought that in the exercise of the extraoi' ^ mary and most despotic powers given to the commissioners , seme departures from the law of the . land had occurred .. -The noble and learned lord then proceeded to point out some of the cases in which there had been an unconstitutioaal exercise pt ' authority . He particularly dwelt on the regulation which so generallY prevailed . of refusing out-dopr relief to ablebodieu paupers when they have applied for it ; He maintained that such a regulation was contrary to the letter and spirit of the law of the land ,, and his ( Lord Wynford ' s ) . measure would , propose as ohi ^ amendment of the new poor law , that the s ^ iardians shouldnot' be compelled to refdse relief tyiless the pauper accepted it in the workhouse , but that
they should have work found for them , or relief be granted them , if woik could not be found . This was not only clearly tfee law of Elizabeth , bat it was a doctrine sanctioned by our most eminent legal authorities . If the pauper refused work when offered to him , then he ( Lord Wynfprd ) ' would propose that the magistrates , on the representation of the circumstances to them , should have the power of sending him to prison for three months . He ( Lord Wyufprd ) conceived that this clause would at once have the effect of securing either employment or relief to these able-bodiea paupers who could get no employ * ment for themselves , and compel the indolent to
accept of work when offered to them . The next clause of his measure proposed to afford the guardians of a workhouse the means of procuring employment for those able-bodied paupers who applied to them for relief . It would also orovide that such work as was suitable to the capacity and previous employments of the parties so applying for relief should be procured . At present there was no means of getting work for able-bodied paupers in the workhouse . He ( Lord AVynford ) , infirm as he was , had lately visited three workhouses for the purpose of ascertaining the the state of matters in this respect , and the fact wan as he had stated .
Lord RADNOR . —Are there able-bbdiedpaupeTs in the workhouses which the Noble and Learned Lord has visited ? Lord WYNFORD would give the Noble Lord a plain answer to his question . He found a number of able-bodied paupers in the places he visited , t < ome of them l y ing on benches , and others idling about in various parts oFthe establishment . ( Hear . > He proposed , as one of his arnendments , that a certain qnantity of laud should be purchased by the guardians , contiguous to the workhouse , in which the agricultural labourers could be employed . He proposed to repeal that part of the act which con / erred sach extrabrdfnary uowers on the commissioners , and give a discretionary power to the
guardians in particular cases . He proposed that the guardians should have the power of making up the difference between the wages of able-bodied labourers and paupers . He likewise proposed that instead of dragging in a man ' s whole family ^ to the workhouse when he applied for relief , tfet the guardians should have the power of taking a certain number of them off the applicant ' s hands , and educate and bring them np themselves . With regard to the bastardy law , he ( Lord WynfOrd ) must say that it was a most unjust law , anq led to the coriTmission of some abominable crimes . He proposed that in the first instance every case should be sent to the magistrates , instead of to the sessions , where the woman ' s statement wonld be heard , and whore
she would be allowed toswear . to the best of her belief , as to the father of her child , but not compelled to swear positively to the fact , which ; in many cases , was forcing her to commit- perjury He would also propose , that the magistrates should have the power of calling witnesses to substantiate her statements . He was aware that in many cases no confirmatory evidence conld be produced , * . bat there were instances in which it could . Circumstances could be brpoght forward , and facts proved , which would eo far to substantiate the woman ' s statements . He ( Lord Wynford ) rtow came to the clause which compelled the mother to support her child . That was a horribly anjni » t clause . ( Hear , hear , from Earl Stanhope . ) He had lately heard
of three girls , of fifteen or sixteen years of age , who had Decome the mothers of children to young men of twenty-five or twenty-six . Now , he would ask their Lordshi "whethw it was not most unjust to compel the mother * in sacha case to support their children ? He proposed that authority should be given to the magistrates to compel pne or both , according to circumstances , to support the child . He would also propose , that during the first year after the birth of the child it should be left with the mother , she being the fittest to have the care of it in the first instance . ( Hear . ) After the first year had expired , he thought it would be better to send it to the workhouse . Another provision of his ( Lord Wynford ' s ) bill was , that no union should
extend more than ten mile * from the workhouse . He did not propose this alteration in the case of any of the existing unions , bnt only in those which should be formed in future . Another clause of his billbad for its object securing the poor against being trabjected to the hardship of being sent a distance to the guardians , and then not admitted after all , by rendering it compnlsory on them to make a certain allowance in the shape of paying the expenses of their journey . One alteration which he proposed to make in the present law was , that the unions should at , their expense find beer for the old people and infirm in the workhouses . ThiB would place those unfortunate individuals in the situation in some respect to which they bad been accustomed in the former periods of
their lives ; for although in the agricultural countie * the wages of labourers were not as high as those given in the manufacturing districts , yet the agricultural labourers were accustomed to have beer , and to deprive them of that which they were accustomed to all their lived , and to change thu ? their habits of i y ing , was a great grievance . For this ' reason his bill contained a clause to Temed y it . yhere . was another part , of the present law for which he could not find any reason whatever . A parent or iv relative , or an old master , -was not , under the present system , allowed to give to the pauper in a workhouse any additional allowance as regarded beJding or prorision or any little comforts which might take from the difficulty of their position . These parties were
not allowed to give any iitfie presents to pauyers in workhouses , and to this effect he might mention one fact relatire to a poor girl in a union in Kent , who was desirons to give her aged mother in the workhouse a seed-cake , but was prevented . ( Hear . ) In all such instances parties were told that such matters were contrary to regulations , and that the law niust be carried out in all its severity . What he ( Lord Wynford ) proposed thereof was that any person might contibute to the comforts of a pauper in a workhouse , in the shape of good bedding or liquor *) , not gpirits , in quantities which would not lead to intoxication . There was another clause which he would propose , but which he did not yet know was necessary—it was to separate persons in workhouses who were
infected with disease from those who were nOt . He was aware that in the union of the Noble Lord below him , such a provision existed ; but it was not so in many which he ( Lord W . ) bad waited , and infection was thus spread through thercommnnity by persona termed rrampers , who remained for a short time in a workhouse , and then left Jt infected . But there was a statute , he-believed 40 th Geo . ITK , which gave tu magistrates ihe power to report to sessionsji who had authority to prevent the infected from mixing with those who were not infected in workhouses ; bat he was not sure that this statute had not been virtually repealed . If it were not , the power could not be better placed than in the hando ' of the inagistrate 8 : but he would allow his clause
to stand until this was shown ; and he hoped that if the law still existed what had passed would teach them that they should exercise their authority . He trusted , then , that the bill would be permitted to go through all its stages to a committee , where its details ^ would be rendered as' perfect as possible . Again , there was another grievance in the present system ; if . a man applied for relief , and had any property , K -was takea ftom him : but he ( Lord Wynford ) thought that on a party leiving a workhouse , at on his death , guch property should be restored to him or given . to ; M » , r epresentatives . He had not howeyeir , propoled i , clau * e t © this effect but fronld do soaiafn ' tour »^ ge of thebiU . Man y other clauses had been sugftested to him , bat he inac oui
