2 nd . " That a meeting of the South Lancashire lectarera tike place on next Sunday morning , in . Brown-street Boom , Manchester , to hear a lecture delivered by some one of the rnniber vs hom they aha . ll then choose on the principles of the Charter ; after which each lecturer will be quesucntd in order to ascertain how far they agree coueetiveiy , and prevent conflicting and contradictory statements being given when addressing public mefctirgs , &lJ to bring tbe lecturers to a genera } nnderstMeiag -sritfc eaci other for the future ; each town to pay its share towards the expenses of Bach meeting . - Third , » That the Chartists of Bolttn be itocested to iced a lecturer . " Hi . Cartledge then fcroaght-forwarG the subject of finance relative to the executive , and asked whether the South Lancashire
lecturer would continue his labours when they assembled , an *? , whether they woald be in a condition to support both ? Tie Delegate from Warringtoa rose and « aid , that be thought the County Council would cease when the Executive came into operafcita , and that they -would take the business in their hands . M * . C&rttedge eaid that the Executive could not interfere with the County Council until the present plan had bees woried out Mr . Sterer , delegate for Ashton , understood that , as Mr . I ^ ech -was a member of the Executive , he would Dot be able to attend to both . Mr . D&vies said that he did not think the Executive would meet at the time appointed , letters having been sent to them , to which they had not tent an answer , and all he believe * of the Btiangers that would be present was Mr . Binnu . of
Sandsrland . The discussion terminated by the following resolution being carried , " That Mr . Leach be requested to continue lecturing as he has done , uatil the Executive meet , and then his labours would c *« e as le ^ urer for the county .

Mr . Storer , of Ashtoa ; observed that his constituents had sent £ 3 , and they had six shillLags mure to sesd , which he thonght woDld "be a good sbire .

teli thtm how be did ; he would recommend them t » get pen , ink , and paper , when they wanied to gs > begging , because they could -write 'better than they- eonid teli , ana the paper hi j a better cheek ty >* ji tbey bad . He went horns determined to do bis duVy , ana ? got a beading printed , whieh he took to tbe Tory Comaittee , and it made such an impression upon them as caused them to give him £ 1 14 * . Fiading that he suaeeeded bo well there , he wsnt to the Whig Committee , but they had the good manners to put it in the fire , because he told them the butchery was committed at the instigation of the Whig Corn Law Repealers . Several other delegates spot * upon the subject , which ended ¦ with au undersanding tnat each delegate wouid collect what iie coald by t&a next -meeting . Tbe Wajrington delegate wished to know when it would suit Mr . Leech
to come to Warrington . They had writtea twice to Dr . M'Dooatt , bat had received no answer ; he thougkt just now was a favourable opportunity , as the Whigs of that town bad been so disgusted at ths election . The candidate brought forward by the Whigs was KerahaTT , of Manchester , who gave up before the nomination day , and let the Tory waik over , which had brought ! he Whigs to the conclusion that no good cou ! 4 be done , until the people wtre in possession of "Cnrrersal Suffrage . Tc-ey were now going to form an Association , the object of which should be to go for "Cuiversil Suffrage , and a Repeal of the Com Laws . He then stated that the people of Prescot were favourable tc the Charter , and wished some one to come and gi-ra iitsm . a ieC-ure . The following letter was read smid »/ iclause : —
Mr . Lawless . Sir , —We have engaged a room , and all we want now is a lecturer . You must send us Mr . Leech as soon it con be made convenient Send us word what the exr > = nees will be , so that we can be prepared . We can have the room on Tuesdays , Fridays , and Saturdays . I think a few Chartist tracts ¦ w ould" be very useful . You may inform him when he comta to bring a few Ciortisi Ciradar $ with him to offer for sale at the meeting , and if you could send us a few Stan new and then for distribution , it would very nmch advance the C 3 n . << & Ton may inform us if you caa when I > r . M 'Dsuall will be in Liverpool , so that y > s should see him . and if you think he would come
over to Prescot ; or if yon think the expence would be too much ; perhaps yon may have some idea how much his exigences woud be . I have been over to St . Helens , aad find that the Stars are being taken and read there , and that the working classes are favourable to the cause , bat they think they could not get a room , but they could haTB an open-air meeting . I t » ld them 1 was miking arrangements te bring a lecturer down tare , &nd 1 ^ ronlu inform them of his arrival , and many promised to come and hear ' him .

George White , of Birmingham . A member of tbe Council was called to tbe chai * , "who opened the business by ste&ing tliat they ware at all times happy to testify their approbation of men holding their principles , and he was , therefore , pleased te see so good an attendance , on the present occasion , for the purpose of hearing a man "who had exerted himself so much in their cause . He concluded by introducing Mr . Charlton , to address the meeting . — Mr . Cbariton was received with loud cheers , and congratulated mem for their upright , peaceable , and firm conduct duriBJ ? tbfl election . He said that if he was
t Chartist before , such was the disgraceful conduct of the parties concerned in the election , as contrasted with tbe Chartists , that lie was , if possible , five times more a Chartist than ever . After a few other excellent remarks , Mr . C . concluded by introducing to their notice ilr . G . White , of Birmingham . —Mr . White was received with % hearty round of applause , and explained to the meeting his reasons for being a Chartist His mind was first led to a consideration of the merits of Radir * Mm , when in that town ten yaara ago ; and eYerj thing which be bad witnessed since tended more and ZBore to convince him of the troth of his principles . He then contrasted tfie state of society as it is , with society as it ought to be , in the course of which he showed , by Tirioos illustrations , that the present was sot entitled
to be called a state of soidety , but one of fraudT and r « bbery . He also entered into an inquiry concerning ; our boasted Constitution , and showed that there was ; no sush thing as a Constitution in this country ; for , ; according to Blackstone , the Constitution consisted of King , Lords , and Commons . But they knew to their sorrow , that there was no such thing as a House of Commons in this country -, that it was - a House composed of the nominees ef Lords aad capitalists , and did not in the slightest degree represent what was formerly termed the " common people . " He then re- ! marked on the altered condition of the people of that place sinoe he bad resided there , namely , eight years ' ago ; for in his trade , where four hundred men were '
employed , -tbere wer » not at that Uwe above thirty . He concluded by stating bis wish that the Chartists ¦ of Kidderminster would o » -operate with their brethren ! of Birmingham and other towns in the district , passed ' a high ealogiam on the upright conduct of Mr .

BIBM 1 NGHATJL Chartist Mbktikq . A meeting was held in the Chartist Boom , Freeman-Street , on Sunday evening last , at seven o ' clock , which wm addressed by Mr . 6 . White . He entered at some length into tfce grievances of the working classes , and showed up tbe impossibility of the middle classes ever uniting with them to better their » ondition , seeing tfcafc they were interested in defrauding their workmen of th-ir lawful hire . He maintained 'that a mere alteraiion of the liams of the party who held power would not benefit the nation ; that the system should be entirely altered which kept the workies in a state of misery , and gave the produce of their labour to the idle few . He then proceeded to comment on what -was termed our " commerce , " and showed it to be a
complete sy&tem of fraud , and the fruitful source of nearly all the heartbumingB that afflicted society . He stated that if tbe re id die classes w ^ re willing to get the " Charter for the people , still be should wish to see the working men organised , as without proper organisation they would be jockied out of its fruits by the men who had so often deceived them . He then pointed out the excellent position which the Chartists now occupied , as none of the members who might be resumed at the present elections could forget their immense strength , as shown before their faces at the various huntings . It was now quite clear that the Whigs would have to resign office ; their only hope would tbea be centered
in the pressure from without . The Chartists were in possession of that , and woald never resign it until their just claims were conceded . He therefore eachorttd them to increased exertion , in order to secure the ultimate triumph of their principles . In consequence of various reports which had been industriously circulated by the Whigs to the effect that the Chartists had seen bribed by tho Tories to oppose them at the late election , bills have been exteraiTeiy posted through the town , signed " George Wbite , " in -which the base conduct of tha "LibeKda" is hoM op li their proper light , and a challenge given to tho * to meet the writer at the open air meeting on tbe following Monday evening , .
Tvbuc Mbeti-ts . —A . numerous-meeting was held at tJie Railway Siatioa , Duddestoa-yaw , on Monday evening last . The place of meetisg is a lar . s e field adjoining the eana ? * nd the Londonaod Birmingham Railway , aad is coBsidered to be ene of the most eauimodioss places hi the town for Buch purposes . At half-past seven o ' clock , Mr . Nisbeib was tailed to the chair . He commenced his address- by informing the assembly , that they had been called together by an address , issued by Mr . George White , waerein he defended h ' miself and tke Chartist Aaeooiat-Jon from tbe calumnies-pnt forth against them , by the Whigs , and challenged' them tc-meet -him . The chairman then read the address , after whinh he called oa any ! person who had any thiDg to stato with regard Is the j
eosduoi of tb « Chartists at tfbe late election ia BirmiBgham , to eome forward ^ - and he vreoid be patitiently heard . No one seenring w iliing to s » y anything , he introduced Mr . George W hite . Mr . Wbite addressed the aeetiug at great length . Heehallengftd any man in Birmingham toeosefoi ward in presence of that meetingjmd shew , if he rot Id , o » e single i » - stance in which be had deviated fro m an aacompromising advocacy of sterling Ghaatisi n , uniwxed with hnmbng of any description . The ** L iberaUr" aa they termsd themsel'we , had endeavoured to persuade the working men that the Chartisis srere p » id by the Tories beoanse they woald no * help the Wkigs . He would wish to ka * w in what the Wh igs h » d proved themselves better than the Tories far the roe years
they held office . Had they E © t pmbi ; d the abominable N ^ w Poor Law . ( A voic * , •>* **« Tories helped them . ") He admitted that the Twies helped , but they would not have had a chance if the Whigs had not introduced it . He then described t he workings of the New PoorLaw , in Bridgewa * er , « id other Unions , and described a- visit that hermadt to the Derby Workhouse , whea on his way- from Leeds to Birmingbain . The workhouse , at-Derb ; f , had been represented as one of the best cdodnet ed in England . But when he , in-company ¦ w itbaiesj actable tradesman of Leeds , applied for admission ., they were told they could not he allowed addaiiuu . ee , unJess they had . an order fram a magistrate * He maintained that they , were , consequently , not asylum a for the protection , of the poos , but absolute ga « ls ; for a man might be admitted to any gaol by a- » aj ristrate ' a order . He happened afterwards to oompl ain to some of
th&- inhabitants of Derby thai be could sot gain admittance , Mid was told th » - following , story , ! w which he begged they would gj . ve their serious ' atsenuon , as it spoke volumes- oa tha working of the blessed Sew- Poor Law .. Three aien , who had been inmates of the Derby workhouse , had been tried bafore the magistrate * of Derby- for . the following offence : —They had arisen from their beds m the depth . , of last winter , when the ga&and was covered with snow , and without any othar-eoTen ' ng but their skirts , had escaped through a window and ran away through the snow all but naked , in order to get rid of the comforts of one of the bost regulated workhorses in England ( Loud laoghter and < cries of " ¦ shame , " attended this statement . ) But ] that was not the worst part of the story . They were ! canght , brought before the magistrat e and sen- { tenced one of them to three months aad the others !
to other terms oi imprisonment , for stealing the iroTkhoux : chilling . ( Shams , shame . > . So that the chief crime tiiey had comiaiited was , that they had not left the place as they oaoae into ths world . Need he say any more about the treatment of the poor \ ( Xo ! you have told ns pl * my I ) Ho- then went on to expose the abominable workings of the polico system , and commenied severely oa the treatment he had himself recsiYed ,. and was still receiving from the Whig 3 . He de&ci-ibcd tho duel treatment he had himself received in "Wakefield , and acked tae meeting whether , any of them would support men that would treat them in that manner . ( No , no . ) No neither would he . He would never forgive them . As to the plea set up by Messrs . Muntz 3 nd
Scholefield , that her Majesty ' s Ministers intended to reduce the duty on corn , sugar , and timber , they had discussed that question in the Town Hall for six hours and a half before twelve thousand ptople , who almost , unanimously voted it a humbug . Aa to supporting the Tories , he knew them to be the bitterest enemies of liberty , and that they , -would take great pleAsnre in hanging snch as him , therefore it was lolly to think that they would support them . After dwelling on a variety of other topics , and shewing up the villainous conduct of the Whigs at the nomination in Birmingham , he concluded by declaring his determination to hold a meeting at that place every Monday evening as long as the weather permitted , and retired amid loud cheers . Mr . Rd . Thompson then proposed the following resolution : " That the thanks of this Meeting be given to cur
worthy friend Mr . George White , for his bold , manly , and patriotic oonduct during the late elections , and several other previous occasions , and also forhi 3 indefatigable exertions in tha cause of liberty , truth and justice . " It was seconded by several in the meeting and carried unanimously . Mr . White , in reply , wished them to thank him by following his example , and they would soon be freemen . After an address from the Chairman , the meeting gave three hearty cheers for the Charter and three for Feargus O'Connor ; they then separated . A . great portion , of them mo-red off to the Chartistroom , Freeman-street , where they were again addressed by Mr . White , Mr . Nisbett , and others . Meetings will be held every Monday evening at the Railway Station , Duddeston-row , previous to the commencement of the usual business at the Chartist meeting-room , Freeman-ttreet .
; Delegate Meeting . —Circulars have been issued ; by order of the National Charter Association , re' quiring the opinions of the various Associations in the counties of Warwick , Stratford , and Worcester , ' as to the necessity of holding a delegate meeting fox ; the purpose of procuring a proper leoturer , and also ' devising the best means for hia punctual payment . It is also determined to enter into an investigation ' of the cause of the present difference in Birmingham , , so that , if possible , a friendly feeling should exist amongst the Chartists of those districts . The persons ; who have been written have been requested to state '; in their answ « M the plaea which they think best for ' . holding the meeting , and return an answer directed to Mr . 6 . White , Essex-street , Birmingham , after ; which , due notice will be given , as a large attendance is desirable .
Feabgcs O Coiwob , —It is the intention of the brave men and women in Birmingham to invite their unflinching friend , Feargus O'Connor , to Birmingham , as soon after his liberation as he can make it convenient to attend , when , he will receive such a reception as was never before witnessed in thi 3 part of the country . Thsy also talk of sending a deputation to meet him on his liberation from York Castle . STJKDEBXASD . —Mr . Williams lectured at the
Life Boat House , on Sunday afternoon , to a numerous audience . The lecturer entered into an elaborate examination of the nature of the crisis in 1831 , and the present crisis , shewing why the former had utterly failed to secure the hopes and objects whieh the people entertained of it . He then clearly shewed solid grounds for anticipating a different Issue from the present great struggle oa which we are just entering . He concluded by warning the people against being duped by the new Reformer * , and described , in a striking light , the difficulties in which Sir Robert Peel would find himself
involved on taking office . DERBY . —The Chartists of this town held theii meeting on Monday evening , in their new room , at Mr . Cotton ' s , in I > evonahire-street . Mr . Bairstow delivered an excellent and appropriate address , occupying upwards of an hour , ^ hich gave great satisfaction . Several new member ^ wtre enrolled , and the principles are rapidly extending . WOltVBRH AlrTPTOM . —After an excellent lecture here , by Mr .

MANCHESTER . —On Sunday evening , the Chartist-room , ; Tib-Street , wnB filled to almost suffocation , to hear a lecture from Mr . John Campbell , secretary to the General Executive . Mr . James Wheeler was called to the chair , who , before calling , upon the lecturer , addressed tbe people upon the probability of Feargoi O'Connor , J . B . 0 Brieo , aad the rest of the Chartist prisoners being shortly : released ; and , as they had laboured and suffered lor tke c » u * e of the people , it was unquestionably their duty to manifest their approbation and show their sympathy for these men , in such a manner as to ctfnvince the champions of the good cause ttuit they respected them as much as before ; and , to show their oppressors _ that they
were not able to cut asunder the ties of affection which existed in their hearts towards those who have suffered merely because they were advocates of the rights of tbe millions . He concluded by urging them to proceed as they bad began , in preparing for the demonstration , which , be believed , would be such a one as would do credit to the working men of Manchester and its district Mr . Campbell commenced by oongratulating his hearers upon the rapid spread of the cause in England , Ireland , Scotland , and Wales . He said that people were sending for instructions as to joining the Associations from towns which he never anticipated would so soon be desirous of having Chartist rooms to spread those principles of which he aad they were adherents—namely , the principles of the
People's Charter . It irai encouraging to all wellwishers to the cause , to know that there were do fewer than 160 rooms open in England , and that the people connected with them were all going for the same object The speaker then mentioned many places which have , within tbe last week or two , sent for cards , for th « express purpose of enrolling themselves iu a body as members of the great National Chartist Association . It was his opinion in conjunction with thousands of his fellow-men , that if the people would but be firm , suited , consistent , aad determined , the oppression of the millions , the hunger , starvation , and want which prevailed in society , would be soon banished . Truth and justice would combine to ensure the " people success . The speaker then argued
very logically that there was no political party besides the Chartists wh « went for full and effective justice foi the people of every eountry , clime , creed , ctesa , or colour —( cheers)—and that before the people could be permanently benefitted , they must obtain a power which would enable then to hare controul orer the di » tribu-Hen ot the wealth prod need . The same result * would ahrays continue so long as the millions were unrepresented . The speaker then , in a concise manner ; composed tfbe Monarchical Qorermnent of Ctreat Britain with the Republicanism of America , Norway , and Switzerland , aad produced a striking impression , by giving a statistical account of both . He adverted to the noble struggles of Jefferson , Paine , Pranklin , and ; Washington , giving a pleasing detail of the -manner in which they achieved their independence : and after fully illustrating bis subject , and comparing the salary
of the- American President with that which the-Queen * f England receive * annually—asked them which they weald choose had they the power ?

AS EPITOSIE OF MR . BROWSER'S SPEECH AT THE . NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES AT THE . ELECTION AT BRIGHTON * Mr . Brooker came forward and "; was received" with great applause , a » d began his address as follows : — '' Worthy and Independent Electors of the Borough of Brighton : —Fellow-countryaaen , and lovera of my country :. Englishmen all ; hear me for my eause ; it is a n » ble causa—it ia the cause of Great Britain ; it is the cause of Britons . We are a ? pocia » ad together to contemplate and carry into effect one of the highest , the most distinguished , and glorious privileges of the British Constitution ; the choice of two Members of Parliament . Mr . B . then went on to s ' aow the gyeat responsibility that
attaches to a Member of Parliament , by saying , when yo-isend a Member to Parliament , as to tho bad ! & \ ts he may be instrumental in making ,, that you put into his hand a key to unlock the closet of the nobleman that contains-his writings . ; : the iron chest of the banker and merchant ; the desk of the tradesman and farmer ; the ebest of the workingman , and the box of the servant-maid ; . and to take from thence any thing : ha pleases . He desired them not to take hia politics foona what they heard of him ; but tc > receiw his politics from what he said himself ; that his politics might- have been iapugned j but that he would soou settle that , for that if the Duko of Wellington , Sir Robert Peel , and Lord Stanley weat into office and pur&ued the saae system they
did , and which he expected they would , that it would tend to the ruin of thiB country : as to the Corn Law question , ho said j while h& would oppose monopoly , yet he . would nerer consent to cast agriculture overboard ; that ho would advocate a fixed duty on corn ; for that free trade in corn would not do while we had a national debt of ¦ £ 800 , 000 , 000 ; that it had been said the working classes , have no stake in the kingdom ; thas this in a certain degree he denied : if it was intended that working men had no stake as to property , that he admitted ; but he said in a degree they had a 3 great a stake in the kingdom as the greatest nobleman had ; they had a stake in their own personal happiness ; that this personal happiness was what the rich
man sought after , and if he had it not , his property was of little use to him : so the working man ; he sought for personal happiness ; and , give him a fair- day ' s wages for a fair day's work , and a pork-tub in the celiar , and he would be happy : he said some might think his adoption of the principle of Universal Suffrage arose from his perusal of the People ' s Charter ; but he assured them this was not the case ; that his adoption of Universal Suffrage arose from the working of the Poor Law ; that he saw through the operation of that law ; that class legislation would do no longer ; that it would not do any longer for the rich to make laws for the poor . In advocating the cause of the Charter Mr . B . said that the immortal Alfred laid the basis for the British
Parliament , and that the summary of it was , "that these two councils should meet twice in the year , or oftener if need be , to consider of the government of God ' B people , how they might keep themselves from sin , live in quiet , and receive right , " dwelling emphatically on the word " right , " as securing to every Englishman , whether rich or poor , an equal right in all the laws and privileges of the British nation ; he stated the franchise under King Alfred went to the payment of scot and lot ; and which he considered to be the Universal Suffrage of the day ; he also stated that Lord John Russell had made a great miataie in grounding the Suffrage on property ; and to prove this read the following extracts fromayvork wr itten about seventy years ago , and which he highly
praised , denominated " An Historical Essay on the English Constitution , " and which stated , relative to the Saxon law , that , " it considered every man alike aa he came out of the hand of his maker , man as man , simply detached from any foreign advantages one might accidentally have over another . Such aB riches , which make the greatest outward difference ; but riches with them , constitutionally considered , gave no power or authorhhy , or any right to power or authority , over the poorest person in the state . Every man , undar that institution , was preserved in his natural and equal rights , whether rich or poor . " Mr . B . also read another extract from the same work , to show , that our Saxon forefathers founded their government on the common
rights of mankind . They made the elective power of the people the first principle of our Constitution , and delegated that . power to guch men as they had most reason to - cqtmda in . However , they were curiously cautiOHB in this respect , knowing well the degenerated principle of mankind ; that power makeaa vast difference ia the temper and behaviour of men , and often converts a good man in private life , to a tyrant in office . For ihis reason , they never gave up their natural liberty , or delegated iheir power , of making laws , to any mau , for a longer time than one year . With reference to the payment of members , Mr . B . stated anciently members of Parliament used . to bo paid for their attendance at the House of Commons ; -lhat the pay for a- borough
was three and sixpence a . day ; and tor a , county six shillings ; which taking into account the difference in the value of money between now . and then he considered an adequate remuneration . As to ' forming the kingdom into ( 300 ) districts , Mr . B . considered , from the present numbers of members being too great , that it was an excellent plan . Tne nonqualification of membership through want of property Mr . B . said ga . v «; wisdom to money , and therefore © ould never -be right . With reference to Vote by Ballot Mr . B . said that as going to an independent principle he liked a man should go to the poll and state for whom he voted , but from the coercion that was going forward , he should much wish to see the Ballot introduced as a

trial . Mr . B . now referred to the Church and State separation question . He said he himself was brought up as a Churchman * and left tbe Church at first through compulsion ; that he shoald bo exceedingly sorry if , in his attack on the Church , as allied to the State , it should be considered he attacked Churchmen ; that they had as much right to wership God , according to the dictates of conscience as he had ; that it was the union of Chflroh and § tate that he attacked ; that in one respect he did not like to be called a Dissenter , for from what was there in the Bible that he dissented ! There was nothing in the Bible from which he dissented ; bat he said , in calling him Dissenter , if it was meant that he dissented from the Church of England , in that respect
he gloried in the name of Dissenter . As to Church and State alliance , Mr . B . eaid , as to » Christian dispensation , the State Church had not a leg to stand on ; as to its temporal Sovereign headship , diocesan constitution , ecclesiastical enactments , system of tithes , patronage , and parocliiality . With reference to-tithes , Mr . B . stated that the Jewish dispensation was a theocracy ; that tithes were a part pertaining to the altar ; that , as the Jewish altar was swept away by the Christian dispensation , the system of tithes was a system of priestcraft ; and as to the patronage of the Church of England , that advowsone or presentations to livings were sold like , chattels by the hand of the auctioneer . : In . recurring to the Poor Law , Mr . Brooker said he attacked it
on two points , namely , that the law was unconstitutional and unscriptural ; that it was unconstitutional , inasmuch as it had taken the working man from the magisterial bench , and placed him opon a Guardian ' s board ; that it separated man , and wife , and children , whilst those who did it were not amenable to punishment through , trial by jnry ; that the law was nnscriptmal as to separating man and wife ; as the Scripture had said "those whom God has joined together let not man put asunder ; " and that by Scripture the custody of thechildren is with the parents . Mr . B . said bis principles might be considered as democratic ; but that he was no farther democratic than the New Testament was- ; that he tbooght the life ef the Saviour went to a democratic principle : but that he did not see much difference between a Government founded on democracy , and one founded on a limited monarchy- r and that , if the executive and representative
Erin « t ples could be kept pure , ( as they ought ) that e felt himself bound to support Her Majesty ; that Her Majesty ' s illustrious rather used most nobly on the pratform a *< Coach Makers' Hall to advoeate the cause » f the British and Foreign Bible Society ; and that he-understood her illustrious parent just when he died took her Majesty in hfe arms and commended her in prayer to the Almighty , and therefore he did feel interested on behalf of Her Majesty . Mr . Brooker concluded his speech Ht-the following words : if , said he ,, there be auy things righteous injustice , excellent in the principles of civil and religious liberty , and-beneficial to a nation ; as they evidently go to these points ? let me entreat you to stand forward for the adoption of the People ' s Charter the separation of the Church from the State , and the repeal of the Poor Law .
