CARPENTERS ' DINNER IN LONDON . ( From onr landon Correspondent . ) Hie annual dinner of the associated bodies of carpenters and joiners was held at the Highbury Bam Tavern , on Mtaday last . Ab * at 400 Bat down , Mr . Chatfield in the chair . . After the reaffvai of the cloth , the Chairman , after some prefatory remarks upen the rights of indastry , gave " She people ; may the time Bpeedily active when the rights of industry < will be supported bythe united energies of the working classes . " © rank with three times three , and one cheer
more . Mr . Simpson , tia . responding to rthe toast , called upon his fellowworkmen to unite for the purpose of preventing their masters from riding rough-shod over them . The masters said there was a diminution of trade . This he believed to-be untrue ; but if true , he could < n « t see how that diminution of trade could sanction the decline of remunerating labour . > If there was ;* hat diminution of trade , why not lower the houreof labour 1 ( Cheers . ) It was , however , nothing less than an attempt to deceive working men , so as to reduce wages , and to increase the hours of employment . He wonld ask whether ¦ the interests of 150 , 000 or more of-men belonging to the body of carpenters deserved to be protected !
¦ fchould tbe cosiforts of these men , r their wives , and families , exist merely on the fayourof men who had fcy chance obtained a station ia life which enabled them to be employers and not employed ! The body of the carpenters included in number as maoy-souls as did the City of London 150 } yeara ago when she gave laws to kings and swayed * ; he monarchy . The carpenters contributed more than any other -class of men to the comfort and enjoyment of the . people at large , andto the elegancies of the higher classes and were they to remain in tbe same station in the nineteenth century which they oocupied ia the iKtb century t The society before wtich he had then the honour of appearing had
been formed for the purpose of protecting the inttrestBof tbe trade , to destroy the antipathy which existed of the workman to unite witi the mas er and that of the master to unite with the workman ( Hear . ) The workoen were disposed to unite whh ihe . masters in one . grand object , that of obtaining from those who have made a fortune , a « omething to support the old and those past labour , for those who had not had the opportunity of preparing for the evil diy . In conclusion , he would say , they ( the working men ) had no . desire to oppose the masters , but thoj called on all to unite for the purpose of , as ths toaet be had the honour of speaking to said , sup porting the rights of icdustry . ( Cheers . ) Song" The fonr leafed shamrock . **
Mr . Eowk , in proposing the next toast— " May the united energies of the Carpenters of London prove successful in supporting the rights and privileges of the operative , " stated that the utmost unanimity prevailed in the body of Carpenters , and that , instead of being divided into sections , they were about forming one common centre , so as to protect themselvas agaiDSt the tyranny of their competitive masters , ( Cheers . ) As an instance of their union , he had only to state , that a motion made at one of their last meetings , for erecting an asylum for the aged and infirm of their body , was carried unanimously . ( Loud Cheers . ) Dra . uk with the usual honours . Soug— " The Mountain Horn . " Mr . Clattox , in a neat speech , proposed— " The ladies , and may they always contribute to the social enjoyment of society . " ( Cheers . ) Drank with three times three . Song— " My native hills . "
Mr . Taprell proposed " The press ; and soon may it become the advocate of the working classes , and not the tool of tyranny . " He knew that the working millions had not the support of the press , which has left the working classes unnoticed . He looked to the press to be yet the pioneer in human improvement ; for , though unnoticed by the press , he believed the fault to be this—the working classes have not as yet raised their voices so as to be heard—( hear , hear)—but they lived in a new era , th § working classes had become an intelligent people , and their claims could not long remain unrecognised . Tiiey had the importance of rigbt on their side ; and he felt , assured that jet must tbe Government be obliged to come 10 their
assistance . He felt strongly that the press , the press alone , could accomplish their redemptioa ; and proud was he to say that tbe working classes had now a paper which , week after week , advocated their rights . The Northern Star deserved the support of evtry working man . ( . Cheers . ) Yes , that paper and the little publications had done them , the working classes , " right good service . " There was another paper which had at times advocated their interests , and which had not opposed them , ho alluded to tbe Weekly Dispatch . ( Hear , hear . ) The voice of the people ha « l ^ one forth through the medium of the Northern Star— ( cheers)—ai : d he hoped to see that piper still more read . ( Hear , hear . ) The toast was then drank amid much applause .
Mr . Wall returned thanks on behalf of the Northern Star , and Mr . DKMPSKYfor the Weekly DL-patch . The Committee of the Glasgow Cotton Spinners here entered the room , amidst enthusiastic cheering , one of their body bearing a richiy chased teapot and snuff box , for presentation to Mr . John ISewton , Secretary to that Committee . The following is the inscription on the teapot : — " Presented to Mr . John Newton , by the London Trades , for his untiring zeal as Secretary to the Glasgow Cotton Spinners' Committee , A . D ., 1841 . " The plate having been depesued on the table before the Chairman ,
Mr . Loyett rose amid much aad long-continued cheering , and said it gave him threat pleasure to see , not only so numerous an as ^ euibiy , but the cordiality which prevailed . In communing with bis own thoughts , he had often a = kfd why meetings of this description were xot more fivquvut . ( Hear , hear . ) He believed it arose from the want of means on the part of the people , through an unequal distribution of wealth . Let them for a moment imagine our royal mistress with her £ 300 a day , and her husband to play with bis ; 6 ; 00 a day—thear , hear)—and then they would discover how it was that the working classes had nat more time an J means for rational enjoyment and information . To-day they had met to do honour to one of their own order , and to prove
they were not unmindful of the cause of justice and humanity . The trades in general , with their friend Mr . Newton , banded themselvts in the bond of humanity , and in the cause of justice . Their labours were successful , being influenced by the purest motives , to receive those individuals whom injustice was about to sacrifice—( cheers)—to prove their innocence , and to render them back to their wives and homes . Their friend Newton and his colleagues did all they could to render imprisonment SHpporiable , and to keep their families , thus making imprisonment lighter . Night after night were
they engaged ; day after day , and year alter year , did John Newton exert himself " , and they had met that day to give a substantial proof of their respect for such exertions , and he ( Mr . Lovett ) had then to present him , in the name of those assembled , with that proof of the general esteem which he then held . It was not the artists ' s ingenuity they admired nor the engraver ' s work , but the generous exertions which had procured a testimonial ofsohii ; ha nature as he had then the honour of presenting to Mr . Juhu Newton , in the name of subscribers of the trades in general . ( . Immense cheering . )
Mr . Isewton , who was mu ^ h affected , returned : thanks , and ment ^ o ; :--d that even in the obtainment ; of the testimonial the poor Spita ' . neld ' s weaver had 1 contributed ; but he had to thank all . He had asked for a character from the trades , and he could ; say that indeed they had that day given him a last' ' ing one , which his children ' s children would honor . ( Cheer ? . ) ! Thanks having been voted to the Chiirman , the ' company adjourned till eight o ' clock , when dancing : commenced , which was proceeded with till bright ! morn made its appearance . i The tin plate workers held their annual dinner at : the same house , and on the i-aino day . The farriers likewise held their annual dinner at the same time and place .

WHIGGERY AND " MORAL FORCE " ; AGAIN I . " FREE DISCUSSION" IN MANCHESTER . i SECOND PETERLOO . j The Corn Law Repealers of this town last week ' announced their intention of holding a public meet-| ing upon the subject of the Corn Laws , in Stephen-: son ' s Equ&re ; and at such meeting discussion was : particularly invited . The Chartists felt pleased at , this , and accordingly issued placards calling upon j the people to attend , and demand free discussion . I This caused great excitement in Manchester and all the surroending villages . In the placards issued by the Chartists there was a strict injunction for
j 1 heir friends to keep the peace . The meeting was to i h we commenced at eleven o ' clock in the forenoon . j On Wednesday morning , about four o ' clock , the i joic ers began u > erect hustings for the Whigs , and I aboi ' -t five o ' clock , the Chartists began to erect their 1 husti flgs , giving the Whigs their choice of the groun d . Ab » ut six o ' clock , the people began to I asseml 4 e , and a bed / of police were marched into j thefqu . ve and took ( heir stand around the hustings . I They protected each alike until the Chartists' hust 1 ings were finished , whec the police took possession ! of them , a ud would not l # t any one come upon them , and if aiiy attempted , even if it were tbos * who Lad nt in their
had the mai ^ geme erection , they were ordered off . . £ bout half-past eight o ' clock a number of gentlemen entered the Whig hustings . The Chartists then thoug h ; it time to make to their hustings . Our Reporter was requested to go and ask why the police had taken possession , but before he had ascended a couple of steps the policemen gave him to understand that if lie did not quickly go down they would knock him down . He then inquired for the Superintendent , to know the reason why the Chartists were not to have iheir own stage . He was told that he had received his orders from Sir

Charles Shaw . Hetthen demanded to be allowed to go upon the T iVhig hustings as a reporter . ' " What paper do you report for ! " The Northern Star . " He was theri . told he could not go . A number of working men who heard this cried out u Let him go . You have allowed the Guardian reporter , an < f . why not him ! " After boom farther hesita tion , < fae was permitted to ascend . — About thi'j 'time ( nine o ' clock ) the bands , began to eater , leading processions from different parts of the tov m . A < dense mass of people were assembled round eMch hustings . A large posse of Irishmen , headed by one iKelly , secretary to the Repeal of the Union Association , was seen advancing , bearing wi th them large sticks and similar weapons of
offenc e . This . party forced their way through the assembled ciwwd to the place nearest the h « stings ; this move was looked upon with the utmost coolness and indifference by the police . The greatest confusion and uproar prevailed , all through the meeting , but no blows were struck until Mr . Watkin , a Corn Law repealer , came forward about ten o ' clock , and moved Mr . Cobden to the chair , which motion was greeted b y the Irishmen by several rounds of cheers , and by terrific groans from the other portion of the meeting . Mr . R . J . Richardson mace his appearance at one of the windows of a large house in the Square , and was received by sallies of groans , which continued till he went in
again . Mr . Watkxv then put the motion to the meeting , when the body of repealers voted to a man , followed be loud cheers , waving of hats , &c , from the repealers . He then called for the contrary , when there appeared a vast number of hands , accompanied by groans and cries of no factory lords , * ' and " why don't you let the working men bare their hustings J" "Are you afraid of discussion V ' Down with the cotton tyrants , " &c , &o . This was the signal for a brutal onslaught on the part of the " moral force" Corn Law repealing hired bludgeon-men . Staves , pokers , sticks , and
bludgeons were instantaneously produced , and twirled in the air in different parts of the meeting , and tbe possessors of them commenced to lay around them with most ungovernablo fury , hitting friend or foe , just as it happened . A more iudescribable scene was never witnessed ! Heads were laid open , and parlies left on the ground weltering in blood ' ! Several were sy seriously injured , as to be obliged to be removed to the Infirmary . During all this affray Mr . Cobden , the chairman , SirT . Potter , a magistrate , the whole Whigc / i ^ ueand the poiiceforceon thehustingslookedon with thegreatestindifference , taking no steps , not even appearing to discountenance the " brutal and bloody" work of their " base" hirelings . When tbe promoters of the meeting , who had
challenged and offered "free discussion , had suffered this work to go oh just long enough to give every one who might offer himself to dispute their dicta a foretaste of what he was to expect , the trumpet sounded for order , and the bludgeon men ceased from their murderous work , as if obeying the call of their captain , and , after gome little time spent in settling into something like peace , an " operatiye" named Warren rose to move the first resolution preferred by the promoters of the meeting . The confusion prevailing throughout the dense mass , prevented a word he said being heard more than two or three yards from the hustings . His resolution wa ? seconded by Mr . Daly , one of the Union Repealers .
Mr . Bairstow , who had been fortunate enough to procure a ticket of admission to the hustings , preseuted himself to "discuss the question , " as had been challenged . The " open" and "fair , " and ** candid , " and straight-forward Mr . Cobden refused to allow him to attempt to address the meeting on the ground that he was not an inhabitant of Manchester , until he had first put it to the vote . Accordingly he essayed to do this ; and the decision of the meeting in favour of Mr . Bairstow ' s being heard , was declared by more than a dozan Corn Law repealing Whigs around the Chairman . Mr . Cobden , however , decided that he was not to be heard , aud
Mr . C . Co >\\ or , who had also obtained access to the hustings , presented himself , saying he was an inhabitant , and would move an amendment . This aanouncement served as another Bignal for the " * brutal and bloodies . " The staves aud pokers were again used in most M moral" murderous style , the Magistrates and other authorities present not offering to interfere , but actually took part in hustling Connor about on the hustings ! Sir T . Potter " damning'' aud " by G—d"ing in a most outrageous manner . After sometime the trumptt again sounded , when Cobden introduced a gentleman named
Dr . Sleigh to the meeting , Who said he appeared there , as " discussion" had been invited and offered , on behalf of the Agricultural Protection Society . No sooner , however , was it known that ho was not a Corn Law repealer , than yells the most terrific were set np , and he was prevented from speaking . And thus to the end of the chapter , was the ** free discussion" meeting of the Whigs conducted ! TillS " BRUTAL AND BLOODY" ATTACK WAS PREMEDITATED AND PLANNED BY THE WlIIGS . In proof of this we offer the following evidence .
A requisition to the Mayor had been got up by the paid officials of the Anti-Corn Law League , and numerously signed . When presented to the Mayor , he refused to call the meeting , probably from knowing the tricks that were to be resorted to , and therefore he did not feel himself justified in taking upon him the responsibility of calling and presiding over a meeting at which brute force was te be used . The meeting was therefore called by ten of the requisitionists , amongst whom was their paid hired advocate Finmgan .
An old Chartist , and a good man , residing in Manchester , named James Wheeler , who is the owner of a Perambulating Advertiser , and who has , for some weeks , had posting bills from tho anti-Corn Law League upon his Advertiser , called at their rooms a day or two before tho meeting for the settlement of his account . He there saw the man hired with the " Anti-bread Taxers '" gold , named Finnigan . Finnigan asked if he ( Wheeler ) and the Chartists intended to be present at the meeting on
Wednesday ? " Most certainly , " was the answer ; " You have invited discussion ; and wo shall be there to discuss with you the question . " " i would advise you not to go" was the rejoinder ; " unless you are prepared to meet your God ! " " I am always prepared for that , " retorted Wheeler ; " but why do you say so I ' " I can only say , " answered the hired tool , and tho hirer of the bludgeon tools , "that if you and the Chartist 3 are wise you will not go to that meeting , unless you are prepared to meet your God" ! ' . ! ! !
This avowal , on the part of this paid manager of the anti-Corn Law League , and one of the gettersup of the meeting , that it was their intention to use brute force , and , if need be to murder their opponmt ? , was communicated by Wheeler to Sir Chas . Sbaw , tho Manchester police commissioner ; and yet , no steps were taken by him , or the other authorities to prevent the meeting ; not a word of caution was issued , warning the bludgeon-bearers not to attend ; not a single step was taken to prevent them from entering tho meeting , or even to restrain them when they were using their bludgeons in a most ferocious manner . Yet all
the police were in readiness , drawn up in places contiguous to the place of meeting ; hundreds of them were on the hustings , and immediately behind them ; the military were under arms , and in tbe neighbourhood , ready , if called upon , for active and immediate service . The fact is , all these preparations were deliberately made in the hope of having an opportunity of calling in the military and bloody police , to remove scores of the " surplus population" into eternity . The plan was this . By offering and inviting " discussion" they knew they would draw together a large number of the labouring people ; by sending amongst them a
large body of hired ruffians armed with weapons of offence , and with orders to use them when the signals were giren , they hoped to have provoked retaliation ; and when a riot , " as they wonld have termed it , amongst the people , had thus been produced , then would the police and tbe dogs of war have been let loose , and a-far-worse than Pcterloo butchery perpetrated ! This wag the intent I This was the plan ! Bat , thank God ! it was frustrated ! The people had been warned to keep the peace—and all the fiendish attempts to make them " riot" failed ! The bludgeon men
had this sort of work all to themselves , and were not interfered with . Neither police nor military were introduced to prevent or put down their "rioting ; "and the people , from this fact alone , saw through the whole scheme , and wisely frustrated the" bloody"design ! " Being smitten , they smote not again ; " but they pondered over the fact that those who are so anxious to thrust " large" loaves down their throat whether thoy will or no , should have hired bludgeon men to beat them : and have also provided soldiers , police and yeomanry to mow ( hem down should they resist ! This conduct on the

part of their friends they did not seem to understand The" love" thus evinced was beyond their comprehension ! ¦ " . ' ¦¦ ¦ •;¦' ' : These statements are not without foundation . The police were there , and did not interfere e « long as the " riot" was confined to the hired Wadgeon men ! The military were under Arms , but were not called in , though life was in imminent danger . Magistrates were on the platform , and did not even put up a finger to stop the effusion of human
blood-When one of them , Sir T . Potter , was appealed to , and desired to take some immediate Bteps to repress the riot then raging , he coolly rejoined , ** that it was merely a few Irishmen using their shlllelaha ! and that they liked such sport 1 " Many of the Whig gentry on the platform openly testified their joy at blood being thus shed ; and above all , and before all , iheir paid tool , Finnigan , hid openly declared , before the meeting , that they intended to put down any opposition that might be offered , by SENDING THE PARTIES TO " MEET ; THEIR GOD I "
Here for the present we leave the matter . But it must not , can not , shall not rest . We mustihave some other steps taken in the business . We must know whether such things are to be permitted : for if they are ; if bludgeoning is to be the order of the day ; if sending parties to " meet their God" is to be the way of " discussing" the Corn Law question ; if murder and slaughter are to be openly connived at by magistrates and police men , why then the people must prepare ! " What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander ! " Now * mind ! we do not advise that the people should
retaliate this attempt . We have every confidence in their good sense and right feeling . Wednesday proved that that confidence is not misplaced . But for their good sense and great forbearance , Manchester on that day would have been a scene of slaughter and bloodshed , -such as England has seldom seen ; the provocations given , if retaliated , would have produced the state of things we have described . — Retaliation would have brought down the military and police . Murder and massacre would have followed their introduction . All the wild feelings of revenge for past and present injuries would have
been called up ; and perhaps Manchester itself would have been laid in ashes ! Therefore , we again thank God ! that the people were able to restrain their indignation , and thus frustrate the M loving " designs of the" bloodies" ! But while we thank the people for their circumspection and good sense , and while we again say that we do not advise retaliation , we must bid the "bloodies" to mind what they are about ! They may play that sort of game once too often ! The people may not always be able to' restrain their indignation ; and then woe be to them ! We , therefore , warn the
Whigs against hired bludgeon-men ! We tell them that the use of them , as on Wednesday , will not do ! It is not to be expected . They do not expect it . Let them therefore refrain ! Let them not again venture on so dangerous an experiment ! Edged tools are dangerous things to play with . If bludgeon law is right , dagger law is right also ! If " meeting your God" law is right torch-law is right also I If all law is to be set aside ; if magistrates openly countenance its violation ; if they refuse to protect peaceably disposed subjects from the attacks of a hired band of ruthless miscreants ;—why then anarchy has commenced ! and a factory may be as soon burned down as a skull be cracked ! Let the Whigs then
beware ! We warn them in time ! and we call upon the Government to interfere and prevent their partisans from producing such a state of things as above indicated . In conclusion , we again call upon the people to still continue to manifest the same good sense aud discrimination which characterised them on Wednesday . Let nothing provoke you to break the peace . Put up with every insult , every indignity , rather than furnish to your enemies the slightest pretext for charging their disturbances on you ! Give them no opportunity for " mowing you down" with their sabres , or of shooting you like moor-game ! Endure , till you cau endure no more , and then ,- God help tho right !

MEETING IN TIB-STREET , MANCHESTER . After the meeting was over , the Chartists adjourned to the Chartist-room , Tib-street . The room was crammed almost to suffocation . The ob ject of this meeting was to take into consideration what step should be taken for the future , and to denounce the brutal conduct which had been displayed at the meeting by tho repealers of the Corn Laws , and the Repealers of the Union , towards tho people , and the Chartists in particular . Mr . Littler , member of the Executive , was called to the chair . When we entered tho room , a young
man from tho West Riding of Yorkshire , who was in company with Mr . Pitkethly , was addressing the people ; and , in his speech , h « denounced the proceedings of that afternoon , as the most cruel , unfair , and brutish he had ever witnessed during the whole courso of his life . He , for his part , had seen enough on the above occasion to for ever disgust him with the conduct of the Whigs . ( Hear , hear . ) The spealter concluded by urging the peoplo never to attinid another meeting without being prepared to defend themselves . ( Cheers . )
Mr . L kech next addressed tho meeting ; he thought that the proceedings of that day would tend to strengthen the cause in which they were engaged ; and , if the Whigs had taken such brutal stops , for the purpose of stilling public discussion , they would be greatly deceived . He had always requested the people , when addressing them , to be peaceable , and not violate thepoaco . Hut , for the future , he would take a different courso . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) The conduct which had been displayed that day ought to convince Englishmen , Irishmen , aud Scotchmen of the necessity of uniting themselves for the purpose of overthrowing the most despotic faction that ever disgraced this country . He had been accused by the Corn Liw Repealers of
receiving Tory money . And thuy wished to know where working men could get inonoy from to go round the country to upset their meetings . The money must come , said they , from the Tories . Now , whether tho Chartists had received money from the Tories or not , it was evident that money had been received fromthe Whigs—( hear , hear ) , —ortheir tools could not walk off from the treadle into a gig to ride into the country to meetings . ( Hear , hear . ) That meeting ought to elect a deputation to Sir Charles Shaw , and demand the expeucea which had been laid out for the erection of the hustings of which he ordered his own baud of ruffians to take possession —( hear , hear ) , —and to enter their protest against Sir Charles Shaw , in allowing the people , who have
to pay men to protect them , to be bludgeoned in the discharge of their constitutional duties . ( Hear . ) As Englishmen they would not stand it . ( Hear , hear . ) If such conduct ; as that was allowed to proceed , no man's life would be safe , and an end would be put to free and fair discussion . ( Hear , hear . ) The Chartists had been denominated physical-force men , but they sunk into the shades whuu put in comparison with the Whigs . ( Hear , hear . ) One unprincipled rascal came to him and asked him if he did not tell a gentleman that he ( Leech ) was paid by the Tories . Mind you , said Leech , he did not say that he had been , but asked him the question . ( Execration . ) For their conduct that afternoon , the Speaker saia , that , whether they
could put down Tories or not , they would , at any rate , let them see that they could effectually put down the Whigs . ( Hear , hear . ) That meeting had sealed their doom as a faction—( hear , hear)—and bad strengthened their ( the Chartist ) party . ( Here three or four respectable men said that they would enter that afternoon . Cheers . ) They ( the Whigs ) had been able to make out no case but one which would be a lasting disgraco upon their heada . ( Hear , hear . ) On the other hand , the people of England would see . the folly of sending men to Parliament who would sanction such brutish conduct . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Leech then exposed the plundering acts of the cotton lords , and concluded amid the plaudits of the assembly .
Mr . Pitkethly next rose , and said that he had heard it was probable that the same infuriated men who had been exhibiting their brutal conduct at the other meeting , would some and disturb thai ; but he hoped , if they did , those men next the door Would give them a warm reception . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Pitketbfy raid that the exhibition of physical force in Stevenson's Square was sufficient to convince the people of England , Ireland , and Scotland what they might expect from the Whigs . ( Hear , hear . ) There would be a system of despotism put in force if the Whigs remained in power , which would compel every man to get a passport before he could be allowed to travel from one town to another : he would have to be measured , and every particular would have to be given of him . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Pitkethly then denounced the conduct of Sir Charles Shaw , in ordering his men to take possession of the hustings . But , instead of sending & deputation to

Sir Charles , he would depute them to his masters The Whigs had violated every principle of justice —( hear , hear)—and had gone the full length of tyranny anddespotism ; Mr . Pitkethly recommended the people , at the coming eleotien , if they could not find men of their own principles , to turn out the Whigs at all hazards . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Butterworth said as a proof of the consistency of the Chartists and the inconsistency of Mr . Cobden , he , with two others , were deputed by a Chartist election committee to wait upon Mr . Cobden to ask him if he intended to offer himself as a candidate for the representation of Manchester . Mr . Cobden peremptorily refused , by stating that the present House of Commons was so corrupt that he would not disgrace himself by Bitting iu that House .
That he would not allow himself to be put in nomination , for any town ; and , said he , the members of that House talked about things which his old grandmother did , and such like nonsense . But while Mr . Cobden was telling them that , he knew that the Whigs were bringing him forward for Stockport . So muph then for the consistency of Mr . Cobden ! ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Butterworth said that he had been accused of receiving £ 3 per week from the Tories , for which he felt greatly obliged . ( Laughter , and " we wish you had it . ) Mr . Butterworth said , that instead of his having any connection with the Tories , the fact was , that he did hot know three Tories in Manchester . Mr . Butterworth concluded by denouncing the conduct of the Corn Law Repealers that afternoon .
Mr . Bairstow next rose , and observed that , before that day , he had thought that England was a froe country . ( Hear , hear . ) At this time * a person rose in the body of the meeting and interrupted the speaker , by announcing that there were four men in the room who had not only got their heads cut , but had lost their hats . A collection was then made to replace them . Mr . Bairstow—He had been called a Tory , and had been taunted with receiving Tory gold ; but before he would assist a faction which had attempted his assassination and threatened the lives of many of the Chartists—( hear , hear , )—and who had hired a band of raffians to butcher the people , he would assist a devil , or anything , before a Whig .
( Hear , hear . ) Had that meeting been called by the Ciiartists , and had they come armed with pokers , bludgeons , and loaded sticks , &c , they would have been denounced as physical-force men ; but because the bludgeon-men were serving the Whigs , they were allowed to break the people ' s heads who had come peaceably to the meeting ; and though the blood was streaming , the Chairman never used his influence to prevent it . Had it been a Chartist meeting , the " blue-bottles" would have been sent amongst them to disperse them , and the Habeas Corpus Act would have been suspended . If that was to be the conduct of the Whigs , down , down , down with them . ( Cheers . ) Ho never before witnessed Euch unfair , such atrocious and bloody
conduct in his life . ( Hear , hear . ) When he was robbed , he liked to be robbed by an honest thief—a man who oaoie boldly forward ( and demanded his money or his life . The Tory was like the rattlesnake , and came forward as an open and avowed enemy ; but the double-tongued sneaking Whiga came forward , and patted them upon their backs , aud pretended to be their most confidential friends , but afterwards betrayed them . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Bairatow detailed the conduct of the Whigs , and denounced them as the most despicable faction that ever disgraced a nation ; and afterwards gave an account of the treatment he had received at a
meeting m the Potteries , where the Whigs had instructed their men to overthrow tbe hustings he was speakingfrom , and to throw stones at him . One caught him upon his side and smashed his watch , aud another was actually in the act of levelling a pistol at him . Mr . Bairatow declared he never would attend a meeting where he was going to meet the opposite party without being prepared . The speaker continued in one strain of well merited declamation of the bloody Whigs . Mr . Job Plant of Hey wood , next followed in very strong terms , entering his protest against the bloody massacre of that day .
Mr . James Mitchell of Stockport , denounced the conduct of Mr . Cobden , Sir Charles Shaw and tho Whigs , for allowing the infuriated Irishmen to break the people ' s heads , while they Ktoodlaughing at them and appeared to take pleasure in the sport . Mr . Thomas Clarke of Stockport , said he was sorry that the men of his own native soil had acted in the manner they had that afternoon . The Corn Law repealers had continually been denouncing the Chartists for physical force , but , however , they , the Chartists , had now lost that title . He was astounded at the conduct of the chairman , a gentleman who had been proposed to be put in nomination for Stockport . It was unmanly and unfair f « r Mr . Cobden to
endeavour to get the Irishmen not to hear Mr . Bairstow . He ( Clarke ) would pledge himself that the resolution would be rescinded when he explained his conduct as chairman that day . ( Hear . ) He would move that it should be so , and his friend that had seconded it had agreed to withdraw his support . Mr . Clarke then ta : d that his lite was in danger in Stockport , by his own countrymen . He had been threatened many time ? , and once run out of a room , b y a man with a poker in his hand . ( Shame . ) Nothing but the Rathoormac butchery would teach Irishmen . Mr . Daly , of Manchester , had likewise been denouncing him as a traitor to his religion and
his country . He belonged to tho Catholic religion , but ho would bo bound to no man ; he would think for himself . Mr . Daly , too , said that two Irishmen had eaten peas soup on a Friday , therefore they could not be true Catholics . He ( Clarke ) meant two of those who signed the address . Mr . Clarke then said that he had heard the Irishmen say , that day that at the first opportunity they would assassinate Mr . John Campbell , the secretary of ths Executive . He was sorry to see his countrymen so deluded . ( Hear , hear . ) He hoped that every man who wished well to the people of Ireland , would combine to send the Norlltern Star .
Mr . John Campbell next protested against the proceedings of the Whigs that afternoon . He had heard that the Irishmen had avowed their intention to assassinate him for his principles ; but that was but a poor way of putting down Chartism , because if he was to be taken away others were ready to fill his p lace . Mr . Mark Gradwell addressed the meeting in very strong terms , respecting the brutal manner in which the people , that day , had been used ; and he , like the foregoing speakers , advised the people , when they went to another meeting , to go well prepared . Mr . Mahon , an Irishman , said that every man must be prepared to sell his blood at the very best market , if he wished to enjoy freedom of speech and conscience .
The Rev . Mr . Jackson delivered a most soul-stirring and eloquent address , in which he gave the Whigs a severe castigation for their conduct that day . He advised them to go to the next meeting prepared . Time will not allow to do justice to the speeches on this occasion , which will , we trust , be a sufficient excuse . Mr . Crabxree , of London , denounced the proceedings of that day as the most unjust , cruel , and savage he had ever witnessed during the whole course of his life . He came into the town a few days ago , and seeing a placard upon the walls which contained an address from Mr . Mark Philips , he
stopped to read it , and while doing so , there came up two gentlemen , to whom he said that " the Whigs were a base aud bloody set . " The gentlemen then called a policeman , and told him he was insulting them . The policeman then came and demanded his name . He ( Mr . Crabtree ) paused for awhile , to consider whether he was in England or not , and would not give his name . The policeman then took him to the lock-up ; and when he got there , the policeman was questioned as to the amount of his crime , when it turned out to be that he ( Mr . Craotree ) would not give his name . Mr . Crabtree then went on to state how he had been served since , in applying for justice ; and he afterwards made a powerful attack on the New Poor Law Bill .
Mr . Josh . Linnet entered his protest against the conduct of the Whigs , in making tools of the Irishmen , to bludgeon the Chartists , because they were not prepared to meet them in fair discussion . Several other speakers addressed the meeting , eondemnatory of the cruel treatment of the people that
afternoon . A person in the room said , that all who had spoken had denounced the conduct of tbe Whigs individually ; and , as he belieyed every one present wished to enter his protest against it , he would submit the following resolution , which they would , by passing it , show that they did collectively : — " That the conduct of the Whig Corn Law Repealers has been most cruel , unfair , and atrocious ' towards the working people . Firstly , in depriving them of the hustings , which they had built at their ownexpence . Secondly , in not allowing the people ' s advocates to address the meeting . Thirdly , for encouraging and countenancing the bludgeoning of the peoplo , by taking no steps to prevent it ! 1 "

FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT . Manchester , Thursday Bvenitu June 3 rd , 1841 . MORE PARTICULARS OF THE BUTCHERY . After the meeting had dispersed , placards wers issneo . by gentlemen who were eye-witnesses of the proceeding which teok place , and we would wiah to impress upon our readers that the said persons are not Chartists ; the following of which is a copy ;—" Englishmen of Manchester I vindicate your character from the aspersions cast on it today ia , Stevenson ' s SqHare , by Richard Cobden , Who dared to assert that the ruffians hired fur the purpose of breaking the heads of all who should venture to question the efficacy of his nostrums and quackeries , were to be considered illustrative of the universal or general feeling of this town . There were not tra
respectable men upon the platform , and the grat « t part of the ground in front was occupied by the bra * tality , filth , and ignorance of Little Ireland , And truly , the slaves of Daniel - O'Gonnell and Priest Hearne served their maatera well : they came on the ground armed with immense bludgeon s , which they used in the most cowardly and most brutal manner for the destruction of any man who refused to do their dirty bidding . Will you submit to this ! If so , let us bear no more boast of English independence . Lot reason go to sleep . Let faction rule , and let Richard Cobden be your organ . For farther particulars inquire at the infirmary . . " June 2 nd , 1841 . T . Sowler , printer , St . Ann ' i Square . "
I have been at the infirmary to inquire how many were carried there yesterday , who were wounded at the meeting , and the officer told me there were eleven ; and from inquiries I have ascertained that there were six persons who had their heads dressed at a surgeon ' s contiguous to the Square , and three at ' another ' surgeon ' s , whose name is Grinrod , in Great Ancoats-street . A great many went as they were , bleeding to their own homes . Mr . Finigan , the day before the meeting took place , told one of our Chartist friends , that if he came to the meeting on Wednesday , to show any opposition , he must come prepared to meet his God ; and this he is willing to swear , if required , in any court .
Mr ,. Walker , the drunken magistrate , was ia great Ancoats-street last Friday evening , hearing Etitwistle , who is putting up as a candidate for the borough , and because some one had the audacity to say something derogatory to the Whigs , he assured them that there should be broken heads , for that many were round at the time . We are prepared to prove , that soon after the meeting had assembled , and symptoms were shown that there was likely to be great opposition manifested ; that a person entered the square with a number of short staves in the shape of rolling pins , wrapped in some fine paper , aa though they were colours ; they were about a yard long and three inches in diameter , and when he had got snugly among the Irishmen , dropped them , and made his wav out of the crowd ; any one who was present might have
seen staves of the above description brandishing over tbe heads of the Irishmen as though exulting in their triumph when a motion was submitted . Mr . Thomas Potter was upon the hustings , and saw the Irishmen beating the people , and in the hearing of a gentleman , who is prepared to swear it , said that " tha Chartists deserved their heads broke" foropposingtherepeal ofthe Corn Laws . And this gentleman ( Potter ) is a magistrate , and was knighted for his endeaveurs to crush Chartism . There appears to be one general feclinjj of sympathy for the peaceable Chartists , for the manner in which they conducted themselves ; and , on the other hand ,
a feeling of disgust manifested and expressed towards the Whiga . I have met with no one who has laid any charge upon the Chartists , but lay all the blame upon the Whig Corn Law repealers ; manyof the electors have declared that if that is Whiggery , they will have no more of it , and will never vote for another Whig ; and further , many of the repealers hav 6 said , that the great meeting will do them more injury and impede their progress more than anything that has ever taken place . It is the topic of convftrsation all through the town , an-1 among the Irishmen a boast of what they have done to the orange ( as Dan called them ) Chartists .
