K ^ pecUladwB'rf Mew stills eame for the purpose of doing heeocr to Mr . O'Connor .. About ten Minutes ' after tbvee , the flavalcaae ^ began to-more . « nder their owa kannera ^ "The , old : j ) rumdo * flag * under whieir ^ e CoTeuanttrs « f old laught and cony quered , and under . whioi < yCoanor had frequently addressed as , Swted in the , Br *« a . The Aksecia-, Son band was La front of the oamagS , followed by the committee—then < came Ae Scotch bagpipers aad drummers , mane to-which the descendants of Wallace are par tioularly partial . In the rear followed thevJHage band , a splendid set of -musicians , and ihe . whoie popolatien of the district ; and in this order the-pmeeesion aarohed , wiih a light step and fcearty cheering " , torer the bridge to the Square , where abustiBea was erected for the speakers at the
back of -ike Market « a « e , And tastefully earpetted « rer . When Mr . O'Connor mounted the ' platform , the cheering him riiiaftniiii ^; the multitnde Jocked to the front ; the daj was serene And calm , with a muB&ar&a * and every window in the . Square was gUbs&lf tfcrowa upland crowded With well-dreased ladies , and the miioleelasrmen of theVplabe . Only « ne master , Who , bjcmll-dnvmg and iaa % , u enabled to exapWy tea ' sb ^ es in a potterj speculation , refused a holiday to his men ; and newsr did we witness niwe sincere soxrosr than that which an * erincbd by those whe « tyranny cooped nn , when they wQald ^ hare ^ ir « worlds for a day ' s freedom . Mr . Crawford , one of the Cuonock Association , was called to the chair . A tmhr patriotic * nd aAai-stUr
xisg address was presented to Feargns 0 Connor . A reeoJntien war passed * approring of a great NataonaT Petition , and a determination to sign it ; and also one of unbounded eoofdenoe in Mr . O'Couoer , who addressed the mefeting at eonsider&hle length , pointing out the general results which must flow from the Charter to afl classes of society , and especially to tbemiddle classes , whose very ezistance depends apoo the consuming powers of the working men . The-whole of our middle class neighbours were in attendance ; and it was remarkable that as Mr . O'Connor wanned in his subject , they pressed onwards-to the hustings . He spoke of his own position as a leader , and asserted that there were better men than himself at the the head of the
moTeaent . He entered folly into the grievances of his own country , and showed what the oppression of Ireland cost Sootehmm and Englishmen . He made some smashing hits at the finality Whigs , aad fuHy exposed the fallacies of the Cora Law Bepealers , who would more all means to arrest the present agitation . He ridiculed the idea of the existence of such a thing as a Whig party , and said that sow the battle was between Tories and Chartists only ; and , after a glorious display , concluded sa address which gave general satisfaction , by observing that he had pledged himself to form aa honourable union with the middle classes , bat net such a cue as the subtle and wily require ; batone in which the people should give o » not a fraction of
principle , bat for which the middle classes should surrender their crotcheta and opposition : and he begged to hare it understood that . in . -that onion the middle classes should know that their places were in the rear , and the people with their Charter in the front . They had led the people into conflagrations , destruction ,, violence * physical force , aad plunder is 1831 ; but ~ they never should d » so agaia . He rejoiced that the " blood-thirsty CfartitW had not abed a drop of human blood—that the "destructive Chartist *? . had not violated the rights of property or destroyed a { ankle belonging to any human being . And now , said he , I will pat this question to the middle-classes arooad me : Has not the -great opposition to the Charter arisen from the strained opposition that the people would become licentious and nnmwiageabVfij in- abort , a load of freebooters while I pdiat their attention to the fact that even they » nfl their servants in parliament -admit that
Berer was there a period oc eqoai -distress -to- that which the , whole people have calmly and peaceably cndared for two long yean , and until the philosophers can prove tome that more danger ifl to be apprehended from a weB boosed , well clad , well ica , aad contented people , than from a houseless , staked , starving , dissatisfied community--nntfl that para ^ is solved , I , at all events , shall contend for the houae , theelothes , the food , aod the contentment . la Cast , said he , those whom we have too long trusted with pernicious power , which they knew not how to see , bow refuse to the people the only power which can save all classes . He made a home charge upon those who would tramp up the ghost « f physical force , for the mere purpose of disorganizing oar- ranks , with the intention , of marahaUisg a tail of moral force working men as an appendage to the middle class Whigs , to force their own political party once more into ofiica upon a clap-trap administration question , at upon the general principle of
" GREAT COMMERCIAL REFORM . " This portion of Mr . O'Connor ' s speech has gone farther to disarm a party in this town who was actually laying die fouadation of such a union , than if he had spoken for a month . At tne close of Mr . O'Connor ' s address a vote of &anks to our excellent Chairman vas carried by acclamation , and after three cheers for O'Connor aad the Charter , the procession tgsin formed and proceeded to the head inn , the * Dumfries Arms , " where an excellent dinner was laid oat in the largest room in th&hotel , and which was crammed . Our opponents say that we have become aristocratic , as tae present is the first occasion upon which we could get access to the haaat of the aristocrats ( the- head ann ) Jbut now oar friends are beginning to discover that the ready pence of the millions is preferable to the stray pounds of the nobs , which , like angels ' ¦ viatB , are not only few and far between , but are also , like angels , hard to be caught .
THE DINNER . Nothing could have been more creditable than the manner in which the poor men arranged their repast , which consisted of everything that the season afibrded . Not only was everything serTed in the beet style , bat , what seldom occurs at the aristocratic feasts , the ataadanee was unexceptionable ; After grace was said by the Chairman of the meeting ; the noble " workies" began the feast ; and , -with the exception of a good appetite uninjured by dissipation asd the sightly revel , they ate with knives and forks , and carved very like other men , none either cutting their throats or poking out their « yes . One thing which night be said to distinguish the banquet from those of the aristocracy , was not
sue totat aosaaee bat the very moderate nse of wines , apirits , and intoxieatiBg drinks thergreate * number being teetotallers ; and those who did indulge , doing so with the greatest moderation . When the doth was removed , thanks were returned to the beneficent donor of the feast and all other things , by the Wfidbl Chaktists , as the most religious people are designated ; and the company , again headed by the band , proceeded to the Chartist Hall , to spend the evening in the enjoyment of the feast of reason and the flow of soul . " So great wac the desire of the middle classes to hear Mr . O'Conbat more in detail , that when the doors were opened they for the most part appeared to have provided themselves with tickets . The hall was crowded tc
fioffocation . ' Mr . Crawfokd agaia resumed the chair . The first toast was The people , " which was ably responded to by one of oar Association . The next was ** The health af Feargus O'Connor , " whose services having bees jariefly spoken to and eulogised by another of oar body . Mr . O'Cohsob presented himself , and was greeted with a cheer that made the village ring . He opened a hot and hitting battery upon the fortress of corruption , and finding the middle classes present , he made the most powerful appeal We ever heard to their Jove of justice , Isrre of country , love of peace , and love of self-interest , on behalf of the misgoverned people . He traced frota them , as the source , every grievance under which the people laboured . He
adver ted to the preeeat fetation of Spain , and the part which France asd Russia would take in the European straggle which the revolution bow threatened to provoke . He also referred to the proclamation of the President of the United States , for the purpose of suppressing that hostile feeling which the acquit-1 tal of M'Leod might engender towards England , j aad which promised to end in retaliation upon the ! OanadLtnJroaBiw . He pointed out the danger of j < tWBPJ" ^| i » MMWfanea of pnblic opinion , which was ** gP *«*| £ vsai ?» , and adverted to the conseqaeM | Mff frTjftay 4 n France , and other countries , » O « r » rm PfOfi »* Mte not allowed to assemble for ¦ ttrfJSP— <* 'j ' tHpiion .

Burke said of English agitation , it is as the . "Hue and Cry" which alarms the inhabitants , . > nd pr © - « bkima thethk ^ s approach . After a most shocking aodiieaxirrending account of the operattv ^ s of Lancashire , Yorkshire , and England geaerr 4 i , . wnica drew tears from many aa eye , he ' . aid a plain and- simple statement before the middle classes , not having machinery their selves , of the effects which it most in » vit ? . ~ bly-hare upon-all persons with emaJI capitals , « C . real moaej , who being driven . from the * arg * j gambling table , were compelled to vest their ali in banking speculations , railway Bpeealatuma , Btiar . ng speculations , foreign funds , and small gajaMirjg , and over which : they had no «** trwk -and . tVje first intimation of profit
and loss which they veeeived , after having paid op their shares and ¦ oownitted their management to directors , was , that the speculation had not been snecesaM ; and 4 acir capital was divided between attoraefSf awrigwjB of the-concern , commisaionere of feaafcrapts , and all the tribe of vultures who thrive npefe aratrs confidence and hit inability to make profitable traffic with a small capital of real money , wnea obliged to contend tagainst the Leviathan of fietitieus wealth . In speaking of the . Whigs and their supporters , he said now paltry , how despicable , hew deceitful , after ten years of ^ paralleled profligacy and naeleas expenditure ; after tickling ; every risible feature of royalty aad the aristocracy ; after . exaaoaiea uter
smmng u » xucoaeqvwr ; nsving veted £ 30 , 000 , —hariflg proposed £ 50 , 000 a ywr te the Queen ' s husband ; after having given £ 78 , 000 k > royal horsesi then to ask that the Parliament should not be prorogued until the cause of the pre-Tailing distress had been ascertained . Why , said he , open the Whig ledger , even to the secret servioe money , and therein you will find the cause of distress . You will find compensation to idlers for loss « i office which was a Binecure ; you will find compensation to the lordly batcher and aristocratic tyrant ; but when machinery displaced man from his natural position , we heard not a word of compensation for the deposed , the starving , the systemmade , the virtuous , but unwilling idler . Mr .
O'Connor spoke for nearly two hoars in a rapid strain of the most brilliant eloquence , and was rapturously cheered all through , the middle classes joining in the applause , and paying the most unwearied attention . At the dose of his speech , three cheers were called for , and" three timerthree Were given ; and though considerably exhausted and overpowered by the beat of the suffocating meeting , he started for Kilmarnockin an open carnage in the dead of night , a distance of sixteen miles , through a cold bleak country . The band and procession accompanied Mr . O'Connor oat of the town over th « bridge , and followed him with cheers which echoed from oar hills through the stillness of night , and
roused the sleepers from their repose , telling them that while they took jest their friend was working for their country ' s regeneration . The effect of O'Connor ' s visit will be long remembered ; and the result has been even already an anxious inquiry among the middle classes , whose rancour is not only abated , but has actually softened down into promised co-operation . ItwoutdTbe impossible to attempt a description of the delight of the working classes which Mr . O'Connor ' s visit has caused . Kilmarnock demonstration tekes place to-morrow ; and bo great is the enthusiasm at New Mills , that the whole people aro determined so go in procession , a distance of eight miles , to do honour to their friend .

ANOTHER TRAP FOR THE PEOPLE . In the early part of the present week , a fine exemplification of the tricks resorted to by the enemies of Chartism and the people was brought to out office , in the shape of a very large and attractive placard , printed at Manchester , and purporting to be a convening of two meetings in Carpenter ' s Hall , for farthering the objects of " The Daily Bread Society , " an infamous conspiracy lately set on foot by a section of the " Plague" men to entrap the people into an illegal combination , and so lay them open to the raking fire of a strong Government . " The placard in question was most gorgeously " displayed , " and the following is a copy of it : —
M PUBLIC MEETING of the Meh of Manchsstzb will be hdd in the Carpenter ' s Hall , Garratt Road , on Thursday evening , Oot . 21 , 1841 , and a Public Meeting of the WOMEN OF MANCHESTER will he held in the same plaoe , on Friday evening , Oct . 22 nd , 1841 , on the former of which occasions an address will be delivered on the best mode of obtaining the repeal of the Foed Taxes , as the road to the PEOPLE'S CHARTER , or to something better , accompanied by Borne statements respecting the conduct and proceedings of the Man Chester Anti-Corn Law League , which it is hoped they will attend and hear .
' " On the second occasion will be dehvered ^ n Addr tss on the Political and Social Rights of Women , pointing out the means to their attainment through the Repeal of the Bread Tax . by MR . HILL , Honorary Secretary to the National Daily Bread Society , Author of Daily Bread , the Bread Eater ' s Advocate , &c . &c . " Admission to the body of the hall , One Penny ; Gallery , Twopence ; Platform , Sixpence , to defray expences . " Geo . P . Jennings , 6 , Blue Boar-court , Manchester . "
The tricks to which these Anti-Corn Law gentry are compelled to descend to get an audience together to hear their fallacies and sophistries , is good evidence of the progress of sound and honest enlightenment on these subjects among the working men . In this placard , the words " Public Meeting , " " People ' s Charter , " and " by Mr . Hut , " are printed in the largest type that could possibly be got into the breadth of the sheet , doubtless with the idea of inducing parties to attend , from the supposition that it was a Chartist meeting , to be address / by the Editor of this paper . We have not heard the result of this palpable ruse ; but it requires
not much penetration to see that it is eminently calculated to defeat itself , because parties who might have been thas entrapped were not likely to be long in discovering , or slow presenting , the cheat practised on them . The people are not now to be led by men . Past services and established reputation are not now received as substitutes for principle . If the Editor of the Northern Star should presume to prate the nonsense of the " Daily Bread Society" to any meeting of the men and women of Manchester , he would be very deservedly treated with as little ceremony as we dare say was bestowed upon this pseudo " Bread Eater ' s Advocate . "
The tail of the placard tells us , that the " Mr . Hill" therein referred to , is the author of " Daily Bread" aad the * Bread Eaters Advocate" &c . &c Two numbere of this Bread Eater ' s Advocate" ^ have been sent to us by some friend , whom we thank ; and their contents induced as to bay the book referred to under the title " Daily Bread . " We find it to be a rascally insidious plot to take advantage of the extensive unpopularity of the corn laws for bringing the people into collision with the
law . That we may not be suspected . of misre * presenting the character of this K Daily Bread " pamphlet , and the society to which it has given rise , we give its character from its own champion , the Leeds Times , as quoted in large type , and with no small air of triumph by the Bread Ester ' s Advo cate himself . The Leeds Times then says : — u There need be * no mistake' about the Daily Bread Sotiety . It iB AN ORGANISED PLANperfectly legal , and justifiable we think , in amoral point of view—FOR BREAKING THE LAW i ' "
And this , too , from the chief organ of the " philosophical Radicals ! " the Moral philosophers !! " the " Rational Chartists" !!! the inveighers against the physical force doctrines of Feaecus O'Connor and his wild associates" J We say nothing about the logical consistency of a u lisa . l organised plan to break the lau >! '' We leave that plume to adorn the cap of our learned " neighbour , along with his bells ! This " organised plan for breaking the law" has been also highly spoken of by the Morning Chronicle , and other Whig papers .
Tans it has erer been that oar greatest task is te combat the incitements to violenoe of the lying scoundrels , who are ever ready to decry theirown doctrines , and . hand over their dopes to punishment . In his introduction to i * Daily Bread , " the Author says , that he * is in no way connected with the persona who have taken the name of physical-force Chartists . ' To what •? persons" does the " Daily Bread" man allude ! We never heard of snob , persons . Wehaveheard much , outcry and much denunciation o ? physical force from " Tendible scoundrels , " " ruffian slaves , " " conspirators , " and " members of revolutionary dubs , " such as they of the Morning Chronicle , the Globe , the Leedt Times , aad the Bread Eater ' s

Advocate ; but we have seldom found more direct incitementa to physical ' violence than those which abound in so many of the missives of this M Paiifc Bread Soeiety , ' as have oomfe under « ar niftiee , . The object and-ptrrpose of the . « Daily BM-SodaJ ^^ Hsnita i ^^ ilvJbwilHh to to " resist ^ Je ^ evada , " and , " break through " thelaw ^ and the following is a brief sketch of the mode in whidi they propose to do it .
Societies are to be started in all the large towns , having for their object the abolition of the Corn Laws . These are to be called "Daily Bread Societies . " Every body who contributes one penny hr a member : he receives a printed . diid , ortlckrt , vrtrtoh conrtitates his membership ; and these . pen ^ es ate to . be employed in sending out Bhips to bring over foreign corn to our shores , to be landed nolens vokns ; * na the people are gravely advised , if the OJaeen should ' object to repeal the Corn Laws , to march up to the water side ia companies « £ ten or twenty thousand , armed with empty bags , ' * for the pappose of ietefy * ing the preventive service and landing their torn without paying the duty ! ; • ¦
la there a , mooncalf m existence so foolish as not to see that the author of this atrocious plan means one of two things ! He either means to organise an armed resistance to the law , or he meatas to lead the people into collision with the aujthoritfes , for the purpose of having them ajaaghtered h We care not upon whieh horn of this dilemma be may choose to hang himself ; ftomboth he cannot escape . We gness his ten or twenty thousand "empty bag " bearers would find something harder and heaviet to
carry than corn , after but a very short altercation with the military . And . hear the , cool mannei , 1 which this fearful consideration is disposed of jbf the Bread Eater ' * AdvooaU . IttH » . 1 . i » ancfflttli ^ e containing an enumeration of ** objectfonr wjiJ £ fa nright be urged against the National Daily Bread Society , with answers ;' one of these objectionsthe very natural and obvious one : — - ¦ ' . "¦ ' " That if the people took the com out of the ship , or out of the bonding warehouse , . by force ; there might be loss of hie ? . * '
This objection the writer , " who * Is * no way connected with the persons who have taken the name of physical force Chartists , " .. aqd . who considers it " a mistaken course to stimulate the people to acts of violence , " replies to in the following terms :- * " That the Corn'Law could not be imposed without bloodshed , nor continued without bloodshed , was not admitted as a reason why it should not exist ; for be it recollected there was Corn Law blood shed in Westminster In I 815 » and Corn Law blood shed at Peterloo in 1819 ; so that even if it were certain that it could not be repealed withont bloodshed , it by no means follows that it should be suffered to exist . England has some noble 1 Romans' who would willingly lay down their lives in such a holy cause .
M Oh she has Sons that never , never Will stoop to be the Landlord ' s Slaves , While Heaven has light Or Earth has graves /' " When Barbaroux sent a message to Marseilles that they were to Bend him' six hundred men who knew how to die , ' the call was quickly responded to ; nor would such a call to Manchester be long unresponded to , though it is hoped it may not be necessary ! 1 " .
After this sample of the moral force" teaching of this Bread Eater ' s Advocate , it is quite unnecessary that we should caution our readers to have nothing to do with any such " perfectly legal" enterprises as that of the Daily Bread Society . We have alwayB counselled the people to regard aa enemies those who would bring them into collision with the law . We do so still . And we tell them that the founders and abettors of this ** Daily Bread Society" are either the most incorrigible fools , or amply deserving of the mild epithets , " vendible scoundrels , " " ruffian slaves , " " conspirators , " and " members of revolutionary dobs" which they belch " out by wholesale against the people who have more
sense than to be gulled by them . . We strongly suspect , indeed , that their vocabulary is the result of a somewhat dose acquaintance with their own characters . But , in either case , whether knaves or fools , they are unfit to be trusted . And that they are one of the two , -6 an . be 4 oabted by . no man who ^ M ^ jaad the Bread Eater ' s Advocate and its grave recommendation , that an indefinite number of starving men shall pot their pence into the fob of some M Daily Bread Collector , " without any guarantee for seeing or hearing anything more of their money ; and that if perchance it should be rightly appropriated , they should march in groups of 10 , 000 or 20 , 000 , with " empty bags" upon their backs , to ask the military to shoot th « m !
We should not have noticed this contemptible abortion of the Plague % but for the trick to which it seems they are resorting , of attempting to pass off their illegal " conspiracies to break the law , " as modes to be adopted by the people for obtaining the People ' s Charter . Of course we need not say that " these Daily Bread" men , have no more intention to do any thing for the attainment of the Charter , than they have to bring down the moon in one of their " empty bags . " Lost , however , there should be any
doubt upon this matter , the Bread Eater ' s Advocate has very kindly put it beyond doubt . In No . 2 , is aa article be-praising Col . Thompson , not for his support of universal suffrage , for which he really deserves praise , but because " Col . Thompson had the judgment to see the advantages of a repeal of the Com Laws before most other men . " From tbat artide we give the following extract , which settles the question of what the Daily Bread men mean to do with the Chartists , if they can hook them into an unition : —
"If the operatives and the Chartists of Lancashire and Yorkshire , the men of Birmingham , and the men of Scotland , want to kill two Dirds , the Com Law and the restricted Suffrage , they are acting wisely to choose for their leader the "best man for shooting woodcocks . He will be a good man to decide , too , whether we ought to try to kill two birds at one shot , ob if we Ana to bavb two shots , which WE SHOULD BRING DOWK FIRST /'
The question needs not the talent or the shrewdness of Colonel Thompson to decide it . Let the CharfiBts do one thing at once , and that with all their might , or they will assuredly find themselves unable to do anything worth doing . Let them keep on the high road of Chartism , and beware of byepaths . And , above all things , let them eschew the " empty bags" of the "Daily Bread Society !" Let them adhere to their own legal and peaceful Agitation for ,, their own Charter . Let them—we again repeat it—Bpurn from them , an a poi sonous viper , the wretch who counsels them
to break the law . Never were so many , cobwebs spread for the poor flies as now I The oppressive hand of faction has heaped upon the people misery and destitution almost beyond bearing . The grasping hand of Capital has folded in its vile embrace almost the whole media of production . The labourer , supplanted at his hearth and become a surplus drug , must be got rid of ; and the soil must be rendered valueless that the " merchants , who are princes , " may tell their countless hordes and revel in their luxuries without the presence of the hated competitor in the person of the landlord , or the still
more hated drawback in the person of the breathing , starving , but not needed slave . To accomplish these objects many have be « n the efforts of the monster . Crafty and subtle bis devices , but all cruel and relentless in their nature ; and of all these the crowning one is this rame " Daily Bread Society , which literally seeks , in the crafty language of its founder , " to kill two birds with one stone J" There can be no doubt that the intention of the " empty bag" procession is to accomplish two things at oace : to obtain a large
thinning of the " surplus population , " by the mosketi the halter , and the transport ship ; and at the same time to create a popular demonstration which bMI intimidate the Government and compel them to elevate the commercial upon the ruins of the landed interest . 'Tis a deep devilish plot , and well laid ! The rascals well know the character di those with whom they have to deal . They know that a Btrong Tory Government may not be trifled with ; that it will stand no nonsense ; that it will bear but little badgering iwfore k * kowa fight f

M SAVE US FROM OUR FRIENDS . " It is our maxim always to nip an evil in the biid f Elsewhere we have given a caution to the people against a new trap laid for them by a section of the anti-Corn Law men . We have now to caution them against over-zeal , or that form of treachery which is often hard to be distinguished from it , jju our own camp . We have suffered severely from this cause in former times . Let us "stand away" from the beacon which has been erected . Let not all we have done , and all we are doing , be rendered useless by the treachery or folly of a few in * dividuals . . .
We have beenindHoed thus to write from a perusal of the speech of Mr . Black , at Sheffield , reported in our last number . The hurry of business caused it to escape our particular attention last week i but , on deliberate perusal , we find it fraught with moat mischievous sentences ; such as , while we doubt not that they emanate from a very honest and good feeling in the speaker , are capable of being wrested by our enemies to the damage of our eause . \ After speaking ofthe state of Wales , and ' the necessity of lecturers , he goes on to say : — Y
> ** That men , like Harney and himself ,- must not be employed , for they were not fitted to preach patience to an oppressed people burning for vkkqbakcb and pbbsdox . " . Again , speaking of the Welsh mountaineers , he saysi— • ¦ - . ¦¦ - - "Aye , they have sworn to die rather than bear with injustice muoh longer ; and their ardent hope was , that the day would speedily come when they would hear that their English brethren were risen to a man to demand their rights t and when that hour eame , Englishmen might be assured tbat Welshmen would not be found in the back ground . " ' Further on he says : —
** Should the Tories attempt to do the same as the Whigs , and seize our Champion , O'Connor , I trust the people will proclaim their resolution ; and act npqnit , too , to have man for man . " Now ) we ask , seriously , are we to have the'follies , abpntdHIes , and denouncements of 1839 over ' again ! ArVirt 4 b lay ourselves open to prosecution merely to pander to the self-conceit of persons who , like Mr . Black , suffer their zeal to outstrip their prudencet
And if we permit the honest and well meaning thus to * run riot" in imprudenoe , and cheer them in it , where are we to stop ! or how are we to distinguish a simple honest man , which we think Black to be , from a mouthing , designing knave—who has a point of treachery to serve I The history of popular agitations in England shew this rematable fact : that whenever they attain a powerful position , the Government always tries , by means of spy instigators , to entrap the people into premature outbreaks , for which the honest and enthusiastic are always sure to suffer , and the spies to be
rewarded . The " Cato-street conspiracy" for which Thistlkwood , Ings , Davison , Brunt , and Tidd , were hung and beheaded , and for the getting up of which Edwards and Castles , the spies , were rewarded , is an instance in point . The riedaga asd outbreaks in Yorkahire , Derby enire , and Lancashire , ia 1817 , for which b * many hundreds were imprisoned , Brandrkth , LuDLOw , and Tdbnsr were hung , and many Ware transported , but for whwh Ouv&a , the spy , was sent out ofthe kingdom by the Government , with a snug oommissionership , is another instance in point . The career of Richmond ,
the spy , in Scotland , is another instance . Andw « tell our readers that thelate disturbances at Newport , and Sheffield , and Bradford , and Dewsbury , for which Frost , Wiixiavs , and Jones , so nearly lost their headB , and for . which they are now banished their country and foroed to herd with the veriest outcasts of sooiety , and for which so many good men and true have been imprisoned , is another instance . The truthful and honest were there punished ; but the instigators—the getters-up , whert are they 1
Have they been sentenced to be hanged and beheaded \ Have they been transported!—Have they been imprisoned eighteen months in York or Lancaster Castles ! No , no ! not they , indeed ! Have they not rather been Buffered to slip off the political stage into retirement as effectual as if the broad waters of the Atlantic rolled between some of them and us ! Yes , we heard not of those who planned the whole affair—who proposed "secret societies ;"
who entrapped Frost ; and who would have sent * Uft 4 reds more to th » -g * llowa > 4 > ut for ourdweovery of the hellish plot and instant note of alarm ; we heard not of these parties being apprehended and prosecuted for " high treason , " though we happen to know that evidenoe was in the possession of the " authorities , " which would inevitably have convicted them , had the govarnmeht dared to prosecute . What , then , with these instances before him , is Mr . Black about ! He must surely be demented I Does he not know that his " mighty myriads " ( if they resorted to physical force ) could
all be routed by a regiment of soldiers ?—Has he not seen enough of 1838-9 , to witness how the palsy of weakness comes over as the moment we outstep the law ! Any how , tf ' he doesnot , we must show him that suoh follies shall not be tolerated . We are astounded at the men of Sheffidd cheering gnch sentiments . Where has our cause . Buffered more from the" talk"of physical force than at Sheffidd ! We implore the people , for the sake of Ireland , just beginning to see our principles ; for the sake of the thousands who will be plunged into
misery , if meh like Black be listened to , retolntely to set their faces against all allusionB to force and bloodshed .: Good God 1 are we again to reach the very threshold of freedom , and again , to hare our hopes blasted by the treachery or madness of our own party 1 What good will the JStar of last week do in Ireland ! Will not the O'Conhbi , litk 3 point triumphantly to Black's speech at Sheffield as a proof that we are torch anddagger men ! How can Hiogiks and Bropht disprove them when they have sedition in black and white ! Thess tirades must Bl DISCOUNTENANCED ' , OR EVERY GOOD AND V 1 RTUOCS MAN WILL fORSAS £ US , AND ALL OUB KFFOBT 8 WILL BE VAW .

bydesign , a Mr . CuRTi 8 i an American , and profess ing republican opinions , added fuel to the fire of d isoon ^ t ^ iadj ; j ^ d ^ ' ^ ny /; ii ^ oti of the usual rigniarqle so much in vogae among the Corn Law repeal hireling agitators , and speedily brought down upon the whole tribe of tricksters a well-timed and judioiou * Chartiet amendment , to the effect * that this meeting pledges itself to agitate for nothing Bhort oftho People ' s Charter . " ;
Much good speaking w * a the result of this amend * imtot , and which , on the part of the Chartists , deserves the highest praise ; tut W « cannot deny ourselves the pleasure of congratulating Mr . Frederick Lkes on the noble stand which he made , and the able manner in . whioh lie exposed and refuted the sophisms of the repeal party ! This is the more pleasing to us , because we have long had to Bunenjlh-Buall w * say the apathy!—nay , not only the apathy , but tiie determined opposition of the teetotal body generally , in Leeds , to the principles of the People ' s Charter . Latterly , however , a great change has been working among that class of men and we trust that this noble example of the great
and clear-headed champion of Temperance , will be the means of bringing into our ranks many of these sober self-denying and practical revenue destroyers and Government Reformers . We have long known that truth with lighteouBnees must unite ; or , in other words , that teetetaUera muat become Chartists as well as that Chartists will become abstainers from intoxicating drinks ; and we thus pioture to ourselres a phalanx of muscle , might , mind morality , and voice , by the exertion of which , the old rotten systems of tyranny and despotism shall tremble and fail . Let them kiok and writhe and flurry aa they may , our will and power will then be irresistable , and our triumph speedy and gloriaus .
The majority in favour of the amendment was at least two to one . Every shift to avert this denoument was made by Mr . PLiNT , the Corn Law Repealer ; but to no use . The meeting was divided , and the majority was so great that the Chairman immediately declared the amendment carried . It is worthy of remark , that no preparation whatever , was made by the Chartists to obtain this great victory ; the whole iiffiur appears to have been entirdy spontaneous , and done at a time top , whe , n
every effort had been made by the Foxes to assemble their friends from among the working men ; proving at once their real insignificance as a party , and' the influence and spread of Chartism . Surely James Garth Marshall , Esq . Mr Hame »* Stanspex » , and their admirers , will Bee % this time the utter inutility of wasting their energies in attempting to satisfy the people ^ ith mere seg * ments of Reform and class orotohets . The people are far a head of all suoh men and measures , and may no longer be tampered with .
