      MANCHESTER ATTEMPTED MASSACRE . LETTER FROM THE WHIG VICTIM WHEELER , TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , " The world is my eonntrv , and to do good my religion . ' PAIXK . Mi Dsib T&A 2 . GVS , —earing to the various reports in dreoUvion , methinksyon -will like to hare the plain facts from old Wheeler himself , wbich are m follow : — About half-past one , on Saturday , Jane the 5 th , iy > nmi n £ home to dinner , I found our friends from Oidham , ¦ w aiting in Tib-street , and in a few minutes I

      proceeded with them to the place of meeting , intending so soon as things were settled to leave them in the Hall , and retnrn to my labour . On arrriving at tbe end of Oldham-street , a procession of Forresters were going ^ y , asd which , of course , delayed our procession for ten or fifteen minutes , during which time an Irishman , whom I do not know , often urged us to push forward ; bnt myself and a man by the name of Johnson , and Mr . Smethurst , of Oldham , determined after the affray ob Wednesday , that nothing should be offered on the part of the Chartists to serve as & ¦ preteii to disturb the peace .

      While the procession remained , I stepped into Piccadilly , and was hailed by some of our friends that a ^ ked me , " who -were the parties that had taken the Hail V for they believed the money had not been paid . A person replied " Mr . Mahon had taken it , but did not pay for it" They then asked me to go back and borrow the money from some friend , as they had not then "wherewith to pay for it . I told them I had promised to accompany Mr . Srnethnrst and his men to the C rpeuter's Hall , and I conld not think of going back mthout first performing my promise . The answer was , " Wheeler , you can go and open the Hall , and the man will tike your word until such time as yon fetch tbe money , which will not be more tban half an hour . " This I agreed to do . The Forrester ' s procession had

      by this time all moved by , and we proceeded along Piccadilly and Portland-street , at the end of which , we ¦ were stopped by reports that the brutes -were at the end of Carpenter's Hall , and had been running Charles Connor , no doubt to bludgeon him . After a few minute * halt , during which Mr . Mahon came up , and I wished Jehnson to go with him to open the Hall , but he said stop till we get a little further We again proceeded until we came Bear the cacal bridge , _ DiTid-street , where a number of people was returning ro-n the Hall with varioss reports that caused an fef-3 . nt halt , —Kite of the reports went to state that spcdal care must be taken of the band , as the Tillains were determined to break every instrument They , therefore , deemed it advisable to withdraw the band ,

      and likewise the females \ rho formed a part in the pr ¦¦ cession . Daring the confusion , occasioned by the ab ve reports ,, mjself and a few frends made the best , f cur way towards the Hall , leaving the procession behind . We were » gain stopped by the crowd , and "while there pausing , an > individual said " If the Hall iras opened , all would be right . " I then perceived Uahou a * , my elbow , who said to me " come ou . " We proceeded along the pavement but a short distance ¦ when I raw the infuriated Fcoondrds flourishing their b . uiieons in a fiind-like manner , over their heads ; and in the ntxt moment I saw a villain whom 1 fclieve to be Finnag * n , pointing to myself and Mahon . I said " Bo yon see that Finnagan pointing us out " Ur . Mahon said " Xever mind him , come on . " Mahoa

      had now stepped six or seven yards in advance of me , and was in the next instant attacked by six of thi Tri-fi % t >» who stepped out of the main road for the purpose . It was but the work of a few seconds when I again distinctly saw the same villain whom I believe to be Finnsg&n pointing from Mahon to myself , no doubt a signal for their attack upon me , for no sooner was it given than three of those who were belabouring Mahon , left him and came to me , when they , with six others which had come out of tbe » ain road , asking nine in number , fell upon me , and in an assassin-like manner aimed several blows

      at me , when one stepped from amongst the rest , and "With a blow felled me to the ground . The moment I was down , ene of tht brutes exclaimed , "Pull off his hat , aad let us have a fair slap at the old b ' s bare bead . " This they did ; and having taken it eff , they threw it in the air , ghonuag at the time , as if in teiiaph : they began to beat me over the head and body , which did not end until they considered I had a sufficiency to deprive me of life . I attempted to regain By walking-stick , which fell front my hand when I was first knocked dewn ; bnt one of the villains saw me , SBd kicked me over tbe elbow , and by that means wreccheil it from ay grasp .

      Having finished me , as they thought , one of tbe monsters exclaimed , " Hell tell so more tales in the Star ¦ ' and one , more fiendish than _ e rest , while I toy Weeding ob tke ground , gave a jump ana upper-cut lriti it , which inflicted a very deep incision in the back port of my head , at the same time exclaiming , "Ah , na ma dhni , " of which words I have since learnt the meaning to be , " Your soul to the DeviL" After this , I was taken from the ground , bat by whom I know sot , fur it was dangerous for asy person to so far sympathise for me ; and I was therefore transferred from one friend to another , until we arrived in Granby Bow , the blood flowing copiously frem my head all the while .

      From this time I have but a slight recollection of W _ -. \ took place , until I reached the Infirmary , where fcei ^ : were several more waiting to get their wounds drs&jed . Tbe surgeon immediately came t * me , and said , "Tnis maa must not go home to-night , " and ordered me to be washed , dressed , and put to bed , which ~ is done accordingly . Tw > muck praise cannot be given to Mr . Forniford , the house surgeon , for his kind attention to me night and cay , and to whom my wife and four helpless chil dren owe a debt of gratitude , for the saving of my life . It -was net until the Friday following that he procour . Md me out of danger , and on Saturday he teadiy offered me to return home , which I readily accented . -

      And now , my dear Feargus , I am in a fair way of rec /> -ry , trusting it will not be long ere 1 shall be able fc tie my part with my fellow-k-bourers in tbe great cstisr : of democracy , and to convince the tools that " dub" law cannot alter truth and justice , is tbe sincere desire of Tbe Old Veteran , ( As M'Douall calls me , and I now will adopt it , ) And yours truly in tbe o&use , J . Whesleb . 5 , Whit He-street , Manchester , Jane 2 tth , 1841 .

      P . S . I haar the riilain Finnagan does not deny fcavii g told me to " Prepare to meet my God , " but said it w » - bu ; a joke . Such jukes had nearly deprived me of lif =, and left my wife without a husband , and ¦ my children with « ut a father . And as my labour is their anly support , I fear tee >" ew Poor law Bastile ¦ wgb" i have been their lot , which I dreaded more than ¦ leeviag icy G-od . J . W .

      34 B . O'BRIEN ON THE ELECTION MOVEMENTS . Lancaster CasUe , June 22 nd , lSil . Mt deaE Bowkah , —I see by the Northern Star of Jfetffi lay last , that the Editor has promised " to reason ^ ith If r * 0 Brien , " it ice , in his next number , —with a view , no doubt , of reasoxixg you , and me , sad all who think with us , out of our opposition to the new pro-Tory Charti » - heresy . I hope he will not do so . I hope he will better employ his valuable time and talents . I hope , instead of vainly endeavouring to convince me that black is white , and that Chartism is not the antipodes of Toryism , he will endeavour to get the country to act , at the approaching elections , the part we have both recommended—the part to which ve all stand pledged by the Manifesto of the first

      Convention—and which has already received the sanction j and promised ropport of innumerable public meetings , a * no on * of tcfticfr di < J asy Cbartist leader , great or SKail , ever dart to propound the infamous policy fchain-*§ ihe Ouaiisi body ie the ckariot iriieeis of either faction Whig or Tory ) to swtil iheir triumph at tht expenc * of ' vur ova degradation , and , as it were , in mockery of our own political impotence end nonentity . By following up ] his o-. Tn excellent advice , and the country's excellent ¦ resolve , to create a national representation by tke show of hands" suffrage at the coming elections , the Editor of the Star may even yet effect a world of good for us .: By reasoning with me in favour of pro-Tory Chartism , lie will effect none at all ; for I promise him before i haul , through yon , that bis reasoning will have j no more weight with me , than mine has had upon ! kin

      In his mode of dealing with my letters , and in the few comments he has appended to them , I see much to admire , and much to regret . I admire the frankness and promptitude with which he has given insertion to opinions advene to his own , ( and that too , at great length , and involving the inconvenience of a aeeond i edition , ) I admire this unequivocal manifestation of his love of &ir plsy ; I also admire bis deference to public epinien in subjecting his own dogmas to that tribunal , and consenting to abide by its award . I admire the complete absence of egotism , personality , and dictaton , wbich chaiacteriK * bis few remarks , and , above all , I admire the friendly feeling and spirit of good fellowship with white bs baa jnet my opposition- All those an goodly features not often found in editorial controversy , and for which tbe Editor of the Stir ( however be may have behaved towards others ) is

      entitled to » y best thanks , at aoy rate , as regards tbe present sabjeet in dispute . But 1 regret that , in estimating tbe comparative merits of my opinion and his own , h * should affect to regard mine as only that of an individual , and bit own as that of tbe great majority of tbe Chartist public . To this I demur » lot * . I deny that his opinion on tbe point st issue between us , is tbe opinion ef the Chanist public 1 deny that what I call tbe new" pro-Tory Chartist hsresy" is the established faith of the Chartist body in general ; and I most vehemently proten against bis covert attempt to isolate me frotu the congregation I claim communion ** ith , by not only exhibiting my opinion as that of aa individual separatist , bat also making ma appear in the iwidicus light of dogmatising to njy brother Chartists . Tis tru ? , my opposition to the policy of supporting Tories at the elec tioBS , / er ihevten mke of tMrmvvUaii Wbi& , is my own

      ' independent opinion , bnt I know that it is also the ini dependent opinion ef thousands of tbe best Chartists I all over tbe country—of men who are as incapable of j being dictated to by me , as I am of taking my opinions [ on trust from them . I will bet the Editor of tbe Slur what be likes , that be could not get five Charter electors is Brighton to vote for a Tory , merely to put out Captain Pechell , although almost ererj man of them would support a Chartist candidate against even Captain PtehelL There is an example in the South . Now , take one in the North ,

      There are four candidates in the field for Preston , two Tories , Tis : —Parker and Swain , and two Liberals , viz : —Sir Q . Strickland , and Sir H . Fleetwood . About a week ago , tbe four gentlemen were waited upon by a deputation of four persons from the Chartist Association , to be tested as to their opinions , touching extession of the Suffrage , release of Chartist victims , recal of Frsst , Williams , and Jones , fee fcc Well , the result was , that the Tories would give no pledge in favtur aay Chartist demand—they thought the Suffrage " too much extended already /"—that Frost , Williams , and Jones , were "justly punished , " fee and the other Chartist victims " treated at they deserved , " 4 c 4 c The Liberals promised to go as fax as Housebold Suffrage , the Ballot , Triennial Parliaments , Ac , and to vote for tbe liberation and restoration of tbe Chartist victims . Upon this a public meeting was instantly held , at which 13 , 000 people were present ,

      including all the principal Chartists ef Preston , and their opinion taken as to the course to be follewed . The result was an all but unanimous vote of both the electors and non-electors present , to support tbe Liberals and ke ep out the Tories , if possible !! What will the Ster say to this ? 1 will bet tbe Editor what he likes , that aot ten Chartist electors will rapport the Tory candidates at the Preston election , although there wereagood Chartist candidate in the field , he would have all thenon- « lector 8 , andaveryre « pectable minority , if not a majority , of tbe electors . Here are two striking instances of the error of the Editor of the Star , in supposing that the poliey he recommends is sanctioned by the Chartist Body , in general . I have siven him two ; but I could as easily give him twenty . His other errors I shall notic « next week , when I have seen what be has got to say . Yohis , dtt James B . O'B&ixn .

I implore the active Chartists lo unite , and in this , th 0 eleventh hour , to give our enemies a drubbing , and scout every man from their ranks who would attempt to destroy the in&uenee of each other in the good

      cause . Now is the time for every good Chartist to prepare himse ' iffor the coming struggle ; and when the elections are over , we shall be able to turn our attention to the liberation of Messrs .

      I Coventry . —A handbUl was pretty freely distrii buted about this city , announcing that she Right j Hon . E . Ellioe would address the electors of this : city at lix o'clock this ( Menday ) evening . The I Honourable Gentleman made his appearance from the balcony of the Craven Anns Hotel , at the time specified , accompanied by a good muster of ahopo'¦ crats and manufacturers ; and we should think there could not bo less than two thousand working I men present . This Poor Law Whig Member made three ineffectual attempts to address the people ; ! and , while so doing , hia friends in the room held a i secret conclaveand advised him to rally the town

      - , , i to drive bis opponents before them . This , however , 1 was more easily talked about than effected . He was from six o ' clock till nine making innumerable ! efforts to Bpeak ; but only able to articulate , audibly , ' the word " Gentlemen" each time . ; Hvwicx , June 22 . —John E .

      Birmingham Election . —Mnnta and Scholefleld are in the field on the " Liberal" interest , as it is termed , and Richard Spooner stands forth as the Conservative Candidate . Tbe walls of the town are literally covered with bills from both parties ; one of them , signed Thos . Attwood , informs the people that tb « y are now about to receive the benefits of the liberty which they have achieved , namely , pb'Spebitt . Poor Tom , he'll find It is ** ho go . " The Cbartists are awake , aad are determined to start two working men for tbe show of hands .

      MsETiNe of Electors . —A meeting of electors , called by placard , was held on Tuesday last , at Bindley ' s ( late Beardsworth ' s ) Repository , for the purpose ef hearing Mr . Spooner state his political creed . He was closely questioned by Mr . Thomson , on the suffrage question , and declared himself opposed to any further extension . Alderman Weston , Messrs . Douglas , M'DonaeU , and others , who are favourable to the return of the present member 3 also took part in the business . Mr . George White addressed the meeting also , although too chairman , Mr . Alston , at first refused him an hearing . He denounced both factions , and showed that whether a Whig , Tory , or " Liberal" was riturned , they would equally oppress the people , and exposed the folly and deception of those wh « talked about an extension of the suffrage .

      Carlisle . —A very active canvass is now going on for the Eastern Division of the oounty . In addition to the old Members , William James Esquire , of Barrick Lodge , and Charles Howard , Esquire , eon of the Earl of Carlisle . and brother of Lord Morpeth , there is a William W . Stepkenson , Esquire , of Scaleby Castle , who it appears is a high Tory . The general opinion is , that Mr . James will be rejected by the freeholders of the Eastern Division , as he is looked upon as the enemy of the farmer , being in favour of an alteration in the Corn Laws ) and a thick and thin supporter of the present Government . He is , moreover , » cold-blooded

      Malthusian , who would starve the people to death by the accursed New Poor Law . On Saturday last , the present Members for the borough , William Marshall , Esqnire , and P . H . Howard , Esquire , issaed addresses to the electors , cailin ^ upon them for a continuation of their support . A Sergeant Goulburn is talked of coming forward in tho Tory interest . The Chartists are actively engaged in forming committees , and using every exertion to bring forward a Chartist , who will legally contest the borough . Should a coalition take placo between the Tories and the Chart . sts , there is a great probability ef pulling out one , if hoc both , of our present Mem-» era .

      Worcester . —Mr . Robert Hardy is in the field here ou Universal Suffrage principles . We give the following from his excellent and manly address : — " In announcing myself a candidate for the representation of the City of Worcester , I do so without having consulted any person , or haviBg been solicited by any party . As I have always considered canvasing disgraceful to the candidate , and insulting to the electors , I shall neither degrade myself nor insult you by asking any of you which way you mean to vote ; and as I shall not expend one shilling more than the law compels , I shall leave the choice entirely in the hands of the electors , which is where it ought to be . I shall now give my opinion on some of our national affairs , both iu Church and State .

      My religion I take from the Bible , and that alone , therefore my Church is never in danger ; and I cannot find , in any part of either the Old or New Testament , any authority for man te make a religion for himself , or a Government to make a religion for the nation . I , therefore , consider all national religions anti-Christian in principle , and all history proves them to be decidedly so in practice . My polities I take from the same source as my religion . The Bible tells me I should love my neighbour as myself , and to do unto every one as I would wish them to do unto me : this command is as binding iu all national transactions as it is is the affairs of private life ; therefore , he that professes to believe Christianity , and denies his neighbour the same right in making those laws he is bound to obey equally with himself , only proves that he disbelieves what he

      professes , or does not mean to practise it . I say , the right is , or onght to be , in the man , and not in the property ; I , therefore , wish every man that has not been found guilty of crime to have a vote . I object to all wars , and to standing armies , aa the working tools of tyranny and oppression : ona-half of what is expended to keep up these hired bauds for the purpose of destroying their fellow-men would be sufficient to give the whole of the rising generation a good moral and scriptural education . I am opposed to all iaxes on articles of consumption ; property alone ought to bear all the burdens of the state . " The Chartists of this place have determined that the Solicitor-General , late Sergeant Wilde , shall not go unopposed , and have invited Mr . George White , of Birmingham , to tell him some of his evil doings .

      Newcastle . —At a public meeting of the electors and other inhabitants of Newcastle , held on Thursday , the 17 th , Mr . Byrne , in a very eloquent speech , moved the following resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Sinclair , and carried unanimously , namely , ** That the present weak but wicked administration being no longer able to govern the country , it behoves the people , when thus appealed to , to mark their sense of the tyrannical , foolish , and hypocritical course pursued by the Whig government , and to use their best exertions to thrust them from their bad empeum , and to prevent their return to power until it becomes useful te the people . " Mr . Mason moved the second resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Crothers ,. aud carried , namely , "That Jas .

      O Brien , Esq . is a fit and proper perse a to represent this borough in Parliament , and that the Chairman be authorised on behalf of this meeting to request Mr . O Brieu to become a candidate for the suffrages of this borough at the ensuing election . " Mr . Mason very beautifully eulogised upon the talents of Mr . O'Brien , and his attachment to the cause of truth , and showed the benefit which would be derived by the middle classes and industrious classes in sending such sterling characters as Mr . O'B . to represent them in Parliament . Mr . Fainlough moved the third resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Bruce , and carried with two dissentients , " That the meeting cannot find epithets Fufficientl y strong to repudiate the cowardly , brutal , and bloody conduct of

      the Whig ministerial clique in hiring bludgeon-men to enforce their unreasonable and treacherous arguments at the recent meeting in Manchester . " Thanks and three cheers being given to the chairman for his conduct in the chair ; three cheers for the Charter ; three cheers for O'Cunner , O'Brien , and all the incarcerated and exiled patriots , the meeting separated about half-past ten . The Council of the Charter Association meet every Monday evening , at eight o ' clock , in their own Room , Chancellor ' s Head Yard , Newgate-street , instead of Tuesday evenings , as formerly . Mr . Turnbull , of the firm of D . France , and Co . booksellers , foot of Butcher Bank , was duly elected treasarer for the election fund for the return of Mr . O'Brien to Parliament .

      Banbdrt . —The Whigs are quite chop-fallen , and are driven to their old trick of burling calumny aud misrepresentation at their opponents . They are certainly " hard up , " when they nave no other chance of making their way , except by representing Vincent as a physical-force man , a denouncer of the shopkeepers , traders , &c . ; while the whole country know that Vincent never either countenanced violence or offered the least insult to the shopkeepers . Yet we have the pleasare to state that Vincent stands unscathed , and can smile at the imbecility of the clique who oppose him . Men of Banbury , do your duty , and shew the factions that you are " up to the mark J "

      BARhSLEY . —Various efforts are making by the emissaries of the M . e 3 srs . Taylor to induce the men to return to work , but no satisfactory arrangement having been made with the committee , they very properly continue to stand out . We hope they will do so , and that the country will support them . UYDSh-Serious Riots bt the Hired Irish Blddgeonmen . —In another paragraph , we have detailed the brutalities committed by the hired ruffians of the Corn Law u Plague" at Stookport ; but , from the information we have since received , it would appear that Stookport is not the only place where these " worthies" are attempting to " bludgeon" the people into their views . At H yde the outbreak has been much more serious . It

      originated shortly after a meeting , on Friday evening , at which an Irishman named Trainer delivered a a long and abusive lecture on the evils of the legislative union . This fellow donouneed the English as enemies of old Ireland , and urged his hearers to obtain their liberties or die in the attempt . The day after , Saturday , the Irish employed in the construction of the Manchester and Sheffield Railway having received their pay , assembled at different public-houses , where they partook of liquor until intoxicated , then marched , in tbe BtreetB armed with picks , pokers , spades , bludgeons , and large pieces of iron , shouting as they proceeded , " Hurrah for O'Conifcll and Repeal—down with the b—y En * , lish . " They assaulted every person they met , and many were wounded and braised very severely . Their

      attacksweremdiscriminateonmon . womsBand children , nor did the houses of the inhabitants escape , but many of the peaceable English had their houses broken into , themselves assaulted , their windows and furniture destroyed . The police did their duty in the most active and praiseworthy manner , and they were ably assisttd by Capt . Clark , R . N ., of Hyde Hall . A person named Patrick Callaghan , who seemed to be their leader , was taken into custody , and has since been committed for trial . However , the English were determined on revenge , and in the heat of the moment forgot that the law in this country is yet enough , to vindicate their wrongs and protect their rights . They assembled in large numbers , proceeded to the part of the town chiefly inhabited by Irish , broke their windows , destroyed

      Untitled Article

      their furniture , and beat the original assailants on them and their property . The magistrate abovenamed exerted all his influence to prevent , the riot proceeding . He ran among the mob ; he promised every exertion should be made to bring to justice those who had been guilty of violating the la w : and he threatened that any of them who should be known to commit any violenoe , either to the persons or property of the Irish , would share a similar fate . His influence was exerted in vain , for during Sunday night and Monday almost evtdry house in the town whioh was known , Or could be ascertained to be occupied by an Irishman , was attacked—the inmates beaten , furniture destroyed , doors and windows broken , and in some instances the floors pulled up . The appearance of the town - occupied by the Irish presents a complete wreck , and

      the damage done will fall heavily ou the Hundred : Tons the Irish have reaped the harvest they were sowing for their fellow-townsmen . They have done incalculable mischief both to themselves and their neighbours . Nor can the conduct of the inhabitants who partook in the outrage be exouaed . They ought to have left the autborites to punish their assailants by law , and to have acted on the excellent and judioious advice of Captain Clark . In the course of Sunday , Monday , and Tuesday , nearly forty of the rioters have been apprehended , fourteen have been committed for trial , several have been bound'ever to keep the peace , and others have been Bummarily dealt with . There were no military in the neighbourhood , but two troops of the 8 th hussars left Manchester on Tuesday morning , and are stationed within a short distance of the town . At the period of our last advices , all continued quiet .

      STOCKPOBT . —Defeat or thk "Bloodies . " —On Friday evening last , the Irish Q'Conuellites began a row in this town of a like nature to the Stephen son ' s Square proceedings . The attacks made upon the English were retaliated , and the Irishmen were beat everywhere and on every occasion . The Association Room , Bomber ' s Brow , was guarded on Sunday , in consequence of the threats of the Repealers . On Monday afternoon , the Chartists of Stock port were determined to try who should have possession of the walk : a fearful excitement prevailed throughout the town . Messrs . Bairstow , Doyle , and Co . were surrounded by men determined to protect them from the attacks of the

      O'Connelhtes , as they went to the Association Room ; and at every street crowds issued from all parts of the town to join the great procession , which reached from nearly the bottom to th ^ e top of the Hillgate . When the procession arrived at the bottom of Bomber ' s Brow , the Chartist speakers were hailed with deafening and enthusiastic applause , which caused the "bloodies" to quail . Mr . Doyle lectured to a most crowded audience on the Corn Laws . The repealers did not attempt any interruption , well knowing they would have been soundly thrashed if they had commenced any row . The authorities having found that the Chartists were nut to bo put down by the Whig hired tools , have issued a proclamation requesting all parties to be peaceable .

      LEEDS . —Borough Election— We understand that the nomination of candidates for this borough , will take place on Woodhouse-moor , on Wednesday next , and that the poll will be taken on the day following . STALEYBRIDGE . —In consequence of the serious riots whioh occurred at Hyde , on Sunday , the magistrates of Staley Bridge requested tho Chartists to postpone their lecture and discussion on the Corn Laws , whioh had been fixed for Tuesday evening , to a future oooasion . The Chartists , ever ready to evince their love of peace , law , and order , at once consented , and the crowds of people who filled the streets leading to the chapel , being informed of the postponement , went quietly home . The magistrates paid all the expenses attendant on the postponement , and too much credit cannot be given them for this very prompt and yet conciliatory effort for the maintenance of public peace . — - ^— . ^ . a ~>~ ¦ ¦ r wt ^^^^^^ B ^^^ m nfi f r r i ^ 11 n A-

      p ENTLEMEN , —I am called upon by the unani-VJ mous voice of a vast portion of your body , to offer myself a * a Candidate to represent your Interests in Parliament at the approaching election . I had not anticipated that you would confer upon so humble an individual as myself so high a hononr . I had hoped that this preference would have fallen to the lot of one of those Gentlemen , who , possessing qualities so superior to my own , are willing to serve you . But as you have thought fit to place me in this proud position , you may fully Tely upon the exercise of my best exertions , if elected , to regenerate our sinking , our falling country .

      Gentlemen , your ohoice has given the lie direct to the falsehoods propagated by the Times and Mercury , the two Whig organs of Leeds—namely , " that you had discarded me for the part I took iu the late Election at Nottingham . " It has proved that I still live iu your confideuce ; that you have not changed your principles , as has been charged upon you by those calumniators who seem to regret exceedingly thai you have thrown off the trammels of their party ; that you have commenced business on your owu account ; that you have opened your eyes to thair duplioity ; that you cannot forget the promises made and broken during the period of their oppressions , and especially those during the agitation for " the Bill , the whole Bill , and nothing

      but the Bill , " that it was only a step , and that so soon as by your aid they got it they would go on to the completion of reform , and to the consummation of Universal Suffrage . How did they redeem their pledge } Why , so soon as they obtained their pet measure , they turned round upon you and declared that reform had gone far enough ; charged you with being in poverty ^ . and rags—said that you had not a Shilling of your own ; that you were never satisfied ; that the Reform Bill was a "final" measure , and that you would rob those who had property . With a bold front they informed you that you were too ignorant , and consequently unfit , to possess the franchise . You were wise enongh and prudent enough while lifting the Whigs into power ; but as soon ae they were up , they kicked the ladder down , and there below you mast remain , until you erect a ladder for yourselves and apply it to your own elevation .

      The same faction , by a new cry of" Cheap Bread , " and w Monopoly or no Monopoly , " intend again to delude and betray you into their meshes , in order to proceed onward in lowering your condition still more , that they may compel you to continue to compete with foreigners , who , by comparison , are untaxed , while we are taxed to an unparalleled degree . They have unhesitatingly declared that their sole aim and objects are to lower the price of our goods , whioh can be done by no other means than lowering wages . A leading Member of the body , in his report of wages on the Continent , states that at Bonn , on the Rhine , the wages are only fourpence halfpenny for twelve hours' labour ; and befere we can successfully compete with them , wages in this country ^ must be muoh lower ; because onehalf has to go inltaxes : and when they can make no profit by your labour they may give you a few days or a few week 3 grace in the bastile before sendiug

      yon to rest in yuur graves . The Poor Law Act was passed with the positive intention to compel the poor to live on a coarser kind of food . Continue the Whigs in office , and you will soon have none at all . And why this yell of" no monopoly" now ! You must be aware with how small ceremony the Whig Government dismissed the mighty delegation of the Corn Law League , who were treated with scorn and indignity by the very men whom they are now , spaniel like , raising Buoh a tumult from the " Land ' s End , to John O'Groats" to keep in office . And have they given any public pledge to repeal the Corn Laws ! None whatever . They do

      not intend it ; they are themselves landed proprietors , and areas much opposed to the repeal as any of their more honest opponents . Their end and their aim u to enforce the New Poor Law , the Rural Police , and the full measure of continental centralisati # n ; in fact , to uproot the last vestige of the small remnant of liberty remaining to us . Had they been honest in any benefioial declaration , they would have commenced the work of economy , retrenchment , reduction of monopolies , and the eradicating of every oppressive measure , when they took the reins of Government . Had they , instead of making puny reduotionsoftaxes . part of whichhad lately been imposed by themselves upon principles of the h guest refinement , vii ., » ftaxipg the taxes ; fed they ttt « u

      Untitled Article

      commenced and carried oat real retrenchment , when they were backed by large majorities , instead of making false professions when their " occupation ' s gone , " when they have sunk down to a minority and can effect nothing;—in B ^ ort , had they been virtuous and honest men , they would now , instead of : being held in scorn , contempt , and derision by every benevolent and intelligent being in the country , stand upon tbe proudest pinna » le of Tame , enjoying the prayers , the blessings , and the gratitude of all , and would have been handed down in the pages of history as the greatest benefactors of the humam race .

      What a mockery it is now to tell us what they would do for us I -aad how deplorable it is to find so many who endure so much from their misrule , from ignorance and self-interest , following and supporting the vilefaotion ! more especially as it iajself-eviaent that what it has promised would constitute an evil—an injury instead of an advantage—to themselves . Those men ( tke Whigs ) gave twenty millions to themselves and others , as the price of our fellow-creatures—as a remuneration for the restoration to liberty of those human beings , whom they had stolen from the coast of Africa ; and this while tens of thousands of white slaves remained , and still remain , in a worse condition than those black slaves

      who have been emancipated . They have added largely to the public burdens during their period of office , and that , too , while we had all but perfect peace ; the almost only foreign skirmish being against the inoffensive Chinese . And for what ? To compel them to pay for that prohibited intoxicating article opium , which had been smuggled by our merchants into their ( tht Chinese ) country . Certainly , war upon such abhorrent pretensions never took place since the creation of the world . While tens of thousandswerestarviig , they granted to the Queen Dowager one hundred thousand pounds a year , and two or three palaces to reside in , making the old lady ' s ineome above above £ 2000 a week .

      Thanks to our stars they were not permitted to give to the Queen ' s husband more than £ 30 , 000 a-year ; they were resolved to give him £ 50 , 000 . They paid within a short period , about £ 2000 to carry through the country an army of blue unconstitutional troops to irritate instead of conciliate the oppressed people , who were seeking their rights in a more legal and constitutional manner than they themselves agitated for place and power ; and for less grave offences than they themselves had committed , they imprisoned , tortured , and murdered the people ' s best friends . They gave £ 70 , 000 to build palaces for the Queen ' s and her husband ' s horses , £ 30 , 000 to educate a whole people , and between £ 60 , 000 and £ 70 , 000 to support three Commissioners ,

      with their minions , expressly for the purpose of eradicating every constitutional principle , in order to oppress , degrade , insult , and starve the unfortunate poor . Had their course been as rapid and progressive onwards to right and justice , as it has been backward to merciless cruelty , wo should have been the happiest nation upon earth ; we should have been vieing with each other who should add most to the happiness of the whole , and every one might have lived under his own vine and fig-tree , none daring—none desiring to make him afraid . Instead of this , their accursed system of legislation has inspired only irritation , party rancour , envy , malice , and over-reaching of one another ; and while the poor are in terror of the

      Bastiles and Rural Police , the rich are alarmed for an approaching crisis , in which life and property will be endangered , and whioh may result in revolution and anarchy . While our best artisans are boing engaged by thousands to remove to the Continent and other oountries , where they can produce goods much lower than here ; while many thousands are leaving our shores on speculation , to find a . home and a resting place for themselves and families , and are employed in many instances upon machines of our own manufacture which have been sent away by licenses granted by the Government ; —this Government have , on the very eve of a dissolution become advocates of , not a Repeal of the Cum Laws , but of a fixed duty on all corn imported ; while the League are for a total and immediate repeal . The consequence is that our trade and commerce are moving as rapidly from us into other

      countries , as they formerly moved from them to this country ; while the middle class who are rapidly sinking down to bankruptcy , seem as blind as beetles to therealcaitse ; and like Bedlamites , are pertinaciously working out their own destruction . They adhere to the greatest monopolists , and cry down with monopolies ! while to all discerning men it is quite evident that skimming the surface will only add to our misery . We must commence at the root , and make a perfect cloarance ; we must take the Crown Lands from the hands of private individuals , and appropriate them to their legitimate purpose . The Church property , which , since the Eighth Harry dispossessed the Catholics of it , is , to all inteuts and purposes , publio property , would , under any honest Government who aovocated liberty of conscience , have been appropriated to public purposes , and all would then have worshipped in their own way unrestrained and untaxed , to support any other .

      The standing Army and Rural Police must be abolished in time of peace ; salaries , pensions , and places , must be economized . The debt contracted by the Whigs and the Tories combined , and mainly augmented by the same parties , to support the war of extermination in France , and miscalled the national debt , ( but which in reality is the debt of the Aristocracy—of those who pledged their property and their lives in support of the war ) , —this ineubua must bo removed , aud we must prove our superior intelligence by lowering the amount of public expenditure below all other governments .

      Whenever this is effected , and not till then , can we have aa advantageous free trade ; then may we nafely call for a clear stage and no favour ; then with the essential accompaniment Universal Suffrage * can we add to pur own and to the happiness of the world ! Much as i he labourers of thiecountry have been abused and calumniated they are more virtuous than any other class in the country , and unequalled in ingenuity and industry , by any people on the faee of the globe ; and as soon as justice is extended to them , they will rise in morals , possess comforts of which they have been debarred , and a new era will be commenced . Then let the faction which now governs be driven from power and we are safe ; none other can carry out their treasonable plans—none else can carry into effeot the continental system of coercion and centralization . Put them again at the head of a majority , and the most perfect system of slavery is established .

      Reciprocity is the great and fundamental principle of free trade ; hence , when it is established , the whole of the protective import duties must be abolished , as well on foreign manufactured goods as upon foreign grown corn ; and with our present burdens , may I ask what would be the consequence I beg to give you a short list of a few of the many articles of manufactured commerce , and the duty which must be paid upon them on being imported . Wood turnery 30 per cent . ; tiles 50 do . ; pack thread 25 do . ; starch £ 9 10 a . per cwt . ; snuff 6 s .

      per lb . ; crown glass , £ 8 6 s . 8 d . per cwt . ; blacking £ 3 12 s . 6 d . ; bricks £ 1 2 s . € d . per thousand ; sheet glass £ 10 per cwt . ; paper 9 d . per pound ; calf and kid tanned skins , 9 d . per pound ; docks 25 percent . ; watches 25 per cent . ; worsted yarns 6 d . per pound ; baskets 20 per cent . ; women's boots and shoes 30 s . and 36 s . per dozen pairs ; men ' s shoes £ 2 14 s . per dozen ; hats and bonnets of straw , from £ 3 3 s . to £ 6 6 s . per dozen ; hard soap £ 4 10 a . per cwt . ; iron bars 39 s . per ton ; straw plat , 17 s . per pound ; books 25 s . per cwt .

      Were these articles and others to be allowed to be imported free , we should be inundated with foreign goods , and the home manufacturers and workman driven to starvation . Now , many can only Bee cheap bread , but they must also have cheap imported goods , often ready to fit on to tko body . The most splendid furniture , gilded frames , gloves , silks , ribbons , hardware , autlery , &o ., are being imported daily with these heavy duties ; let them come free and we are done . Women's gloves pay 4 s . and men ' s do . 5 s . per dozen pairs ; millboard , brown paper , and soaleboard pay £ 3 s 8 s . per cwt . ; gold leaf , 3 i . per hundred leaves ; and whited brown thread 18 a . per dozen pounds .

      Throw off these and we become importers instead of exporters , and our workmen must seek shelter in foreign countries , or starve at home ; while those who are trie most noisy brawlers for " no monopoly " would be the first to suffer ; and unless they will take council and go to the root at once they must be involved in ruin . Give every man a voice in the election of his representatives—establish universal right , Universal Suffrage—it has existed in this country ; we ask for nothing new—establish equal laws and equal rights —and our nation will again flourish—our industrious population will speedily possess every means of comfort ; their love for their dear , their native land , will then return ; esteem and respeot for one another , aud good will to all , will abound in every olass—in every heart—and replace animosity and

      rancorous feeling ; while party spirit will vanish from the land . We shall rise from the existing system of devouring one another , not only to live wh % oan , but to the good old plan of live and let live . Gentlemen , should I be returned to Parliament as your representative , my best exertions will be devoted to the great cause of universal redemption—to that line of action which , in my humblo judgment , is best calculated to ensure the greatest possible happiness to all . I shall oppose any Government who does not extend the fullest protection to every human being within their dominions . I shall oppose , in every possible way , every attempt to establish monopoly in trade and legislation . My cause is the cause of the whole people . My only aim is universal good . I am , Gentlemen , Your devoted friend and humble servant , L . PITKETHLT . Ilnddersneld , June 22 , 1 * 41 . >

      ^ FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Thursday livening , June 2 ith . This has been a barren week , as regards any movement , save that of electioneering . The lads are all of them working hard , and with honour to themselves . Last night , Mr . W . Villiers Sankey addressed two numerous meetings ; and , in the Tower Hamlets , the Fox got a good run , which ended by the Chartists cutting off tne brush . This makes the second run this week , and all were up at the death . From Finsbury Tookb has bolted , leaving the field open to the old representatives . The various local elections whioh have taken place this week , have proved that the Whigs aad Tories are united against the people . This waa more particularly developed in S , t . Pancras , where the two factions joined and defeated the popular party in the election of district commissioners of paviug in the Southampton locality .

      The elections throughout the Metropolis for Members of Parliament come off next week . The nominations for Marylebone and the City of London are expected to be made on Tuesday next ; and iu the other Metroplitan Boroughs on Wednesday or Thursday , so that next week will be a week of action ; and the men of London , it is hoped , will be up and doing .
