TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BK 1 TA 1 N . " *¦ Brothee Chabtists , —The time hax come , and it , vtren every man ¦ who h » . « a desire to see his feilowB enjoy freedom and happiness , should lead his every ssii-tance to carry on the great moral warfare the people a » now so n biy engaged in . We behold on ever / hand factions uniting against principles ; despotism and tyranny are going hand in hand together , and have let loose the worst passions of fcnman nature . The honest sod the noble-minded hare been selected ~ as their viettms , because they hare fsarlesaly and successfully preached tha neTer-dying principles of pure democracy . Special commissions are issued , that the corrnptionists may be enabled to wreak their vengeance upon all whom they h-iro jot within their infernal grasp . The Habeas
CorpoBis virtually suspended ; riots , tumults , plots , and < oa ; piracies are set on foot to entrap the innocent and enthusiastic by spies and tools hired for the purpose . Ike lE&gistraies hare set aside all jostioe , and exercise 4 despotic power , destructive to the liberty of the . Babjsvi . L ? i ? a ! meetings of the people have'been dispersed , sad the basest reptiles that ever breathed angag ^ d to swear a ^ ray the lives and liberties of the virtuous and innocent , from a rein hope tea * they will be enabled to suppress the growing power of an intelligent people . Tue constitution is grossly violated by the Government , and its every power leat to assist these who live net by honeat industry . Landowners , stockjobbers , fondholders , ainecunsts , speculators , merchania , lawyers , parsons , manufacturers , and ail sor ts of idlers ¦
who live from the wealth produced by the starving and woe-worn slaves , are protected by our usjust Government , whilst the people and their labour are left in the hands of those whose interest it ia to reduce wages , gnu introduce and improve the producing powtr tf steam and iroa ; dan in whose hearts dweliucii not one parririe of feeling , worshipping et no shrine but that of avarice , h :. vi :: g no goci but gc ! d , &nd whose ¦ whole study is to increase their own ilchts , granr ' eur , and comfort , at the expense of those whcni they employ ; and by whose uDJust proceeedicgB thousands have been tent to a premature grave , causing misery , destitution , and want , with all their concomitant evils , to spread through this once happy land , until the people , driven through desperation to mate effort to resist their diaWdcal power , ha ? e been met by the police wolves &v . 6 the mercenary tool 3 of a cruel "Government , and
cut down as the mower cuts down the ripe grass . Men , "Wom ^ n , and children have suffered alike from the fury of these detestable monsters ; the sabres of tfee police b £ ? fi been dyed ia ' . he blood of English men and ¦ women ; the toilets of the Boldiery have pierced the besrta of oar countrymen , because they raised their voices to heaven for justice , and cried to the God of mercy to assist them against the cruelty of their ironbearted task-masters . The shriek of the bereaved no : her has been heard ringing through the air for the loss of her darling child . The widowea , maddened , sad distracted wife has cried aloud in phrerzy far her murdered husband , weeping , wailing , and moaning for the partner of h 6 r life , and the supporter of her helpless offspring , whilst ths concocters of this calamity have looked on with a hellish grin , and with a fiendish laugh have they committed their victims to a prison's cell .
A-otise , then , my countrymen , from the apathy in j which yen hav ? so long lain , and ray those tkitgs shall not be . Proclaim aloud . in the majesty of your man- ] hood that yoa will be free . \ You perceive teat fiction is about to do its worst ; j its minions , tools , and spies are prowling from place to j place , net-king whom they may devour ; rewards ero I offered for the apprehension ot your best friends , and j the best and bravest are either driven from your ranks or arrested ; and if you are determined cot to mske one j mighty effort to obtain your freedom , the last vestiga J
of your liberty will be destroyed , and yourselves for j ever made slaves . But I have too much confidence in j my countrymen to thiii that they will now slacken in their exertions to obtain their Charter , when they have perceived the weakness of thestrcng Tory Government ; yea , it hu made manifest its weakness by the arrests that hare already taken place ; it is gone forth in i language that cannot be misunderstood that the strong Governiuent is to weak too stand against the verbal ; truths uttered by the humble advocates cf the People ' s ] Charter , and thai truth , ere long , "will triumph o ^ er filseh x > d , and right over might The po wer uf truthi has already shaken Toryism to its foundation : ac-. i it
now rests with a united peopie to say when the edifice , shall be shaken to the ground , and - " Like the baseless fabric of a vIbwh , ' Leave not a wreck behind . " j Awake , then , my Chartist brethren , and let the agita- j tion be carried on with renewed vigour . Come forward ] and uifFasa abroad that spirit of freedom so essentially I necessaiy to the establishment of our great principles . Send forth your accredited lecturers into every i » urity , to-RTi , city , h ^ miet , and village , to instruct the ignorant and arouse tie apathetic to a Benssof their aity . ' Tti , let the messengers of truth go forth and proclaim aloud the only panacea for the evils which DownSiicl us , until
the people cry aloud as of old , B = hoM now beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of tfcose chat brii- ^ good iidinga , that publish peace , that bring good tidings of good , thst publish political salvation , itat £ 3 ith uuto Britaia , thy Charter is established and justice reignBth . " The power is is your own hands , if you are only willing to exercise it Let anity and concord guide your every action ; stand fiim to your principles , and ie ltd cot away by the sophistry , conning , and deceit of any party . Let those who are now suffering in the Government slaughter-houses sse that you deeply sympathise with them , and that yon will not sacrifice tiavse principles for which they have so nobly fought .
In eoEchud&n , let me jast say , that I myself , like many others , are oat on bail until March next ; and I am determined to make the best usa of my time . 1 have , therefore , resolved to carry the Charter , and , preaeh its principles where it has not yet been named , j and to be st the service of the Chartists in the diffusing j abroad got principles , and establishing the Afisociatif-n j where it is no ' , yet known ; for if I am to be deprived ( sf my liberty for Epeaking the truth , I will work i doable time in making the people dissatisfied with the present system of oppression .

THE ADDRESS OF THE DEFENCE FUND ; COMMITTEE TO THEIR BRQTHER CHAR- \ TISTS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM , ilORE ESPECIALLY THE STAFFORDSHIRE POTTERIES . Bbotheb Chartists , —Tne Committee of the Defence Foxd earnestly call your attention t « the ci ^ e ? ot onr suffering brethren now in Stafford Gaol and « .-n bail awaiting their respective trials by special corMnission , to comnieaoe en ttie" 3 rd of Octcbsr next . T ^ b ran . ber already charged are about ten with being connected one way or olhtT with the late riots in this neighbourhood . "We do not think it necessary , after the spirited and timely sddrei 3 of our respected General Secretary , in List week ' s Star , to trouble you with any introductory remarks , but will at occe proceed to Jay the claims of » ur suffering brethren before th- Ctartist public , and more especially those of our own district . |
The first victim we shall venture to remark npon is -John Richards , a vener&Me old ieau , charged with inciting to riot ; this victim has tot osiy advocated the polillcii rights of the working classes svdc-j vhat may be called the Cbariist agiUtion , but has Billirigly and gratuitously on all occasions during the last twentyfour y ^ ars opposed tyranny and oppression in their multiform shapes , whether national or local ; he it is that assisted the potters to obtain an advsn ^ e of price some years ajo , by bis writings in the defence of their claims ; he also , among others , successfully opposed the incorporation of this borough , and thereby saved this district a many year ' s unnieessary annoyance and expense ; he has also supported reforms in onr parochial affairs , and opposed , on several occasions , the imposition of church ratea ; in a word , the old veteran has Bpent by far the greater part of his years in defending the rights of labour and establishing the reign of justice in this degraded and oppressed country .
The next prisoner is Joseph Cspper , charged with inciting to riot . He has also laboured indefatijjably during a many years in the Reform canae , andbeen unre mittirjg in Lis advocacy of the cause of the poor , for which he has been constantly exposed to the taunts and sneers of those who once called themselves the friends of liberty . William EiHsfc charged with high treason , a person of commanding and respectable talent , has been marked cut by the more wealthy portion of BOtiety on account of his fearless and eloquent exposures of their ignorance , tyranny , and hypocrlcy ; and more particularly that cf die clerical order , of whom he has strikingly developed many unpleasant truths . ¦ ¦
"We invite the attention of the political Reformers and friends of Temperance to Samuel Robinson , the bold and persevering advocate of social and political Rsform ; his mzflmching defence of Democratic principles , in the borough of Stoke-npon-Trent , has brought down npon him the influence of the police system of espionage in this neighbourhood . The ease of James Oldham savours much of petty rerenge , inunmch as there is » paltry charge of felcny ptefeir&d against him , a thing u foreign to his known principles and habits as possible . This is an ardent and enthusiastic young man , who has endeavoured to diiaeminate those just principles to which he is so strongly attached , and tat which be is virtually persecuted .
The persons before-named have , on these accounts , rendered themselves obnoxious to the enemies of human liberty , who have long panted for an opportunity , and they have at last availed themselves of the late disturbatoes , and raked together evidence to associate them with the riots ; the evidence has been given , of course , by truly " respectable men , " who are always ready , tchen sober , to protect the peace of bet Majesty ' s liege sublets from illegal violence and insult The other prisoners charged with being present at the riots , although they huve not taken a public part in the Chartist agitation , are nevertheless good men and true , and have rendered essential service to the esnse , and are therefore entitled to our sympathy and support .

We have enumerated the claims of the prisoners for the purpose of furnishing motives for exertion to those who are but partially acquainted with their past public services in the cause , and not for any invidious or Tain display ; and we confidently expect that those who profesB an attachment to the Chartist cause , will make an effort worthy of the same , and such as the nature of the case requires , and the principles of justice and humanity demand , and thereby evinoe a sympathy for their injured brethren , together with their distressed
wives and suffering children , as shall show a pre-jadging venal press , together with those who live on tho present corrupt state of things , that while we are too hixh-minded to impede the course of justice , we are equally determined to prevent onr friends , to the utmost of onr power , from being immolated on the altar of cupidity and implacable revenge . Signed by order ef the Diftnce Fond Committee , Shelton , Staffordshire Potteries , Moses Simpson , Secretary .
N . B . We have heard , with detestation and disgust , that some cf the prosecuting parties threaten their | hands with loss of employment if they give evidence in j favour of the prisoners . Is thia justice ?—let the public [ Bay . i M . S .

! I CRUSH THE MOVEMENT , —NEVER MIND j HOW i i j We have often told our readers that the one design of the factions , was to ens ' ave the people , j and deprive them of thsir last remnant of poli-; tical and social freedom ; and the conduct puri sued by their rascally organs of the press and i tkeir base and perjured vritnesses in all the ! prosecutions arising out of the late Strike , so i cunningly got no by th . m 33 lve 3 , a 3 a means of at
; \ ¦ once alarming the Government into an adoption of ' their measures , and of putting down tke movement , j furnishes abundant evidence of the fact , i The disturbances in the Poiteriea are well known ; to have assumed a Eerious aspect , and it appears I that the creatures who are entrusted with the adi ministration of the laws in these important districts 1 are resolved , at all risks , to do their little best to ; prevent the progress of sound opinion and praotical i jnstice , and that they find ready " helps" to their 1 infern&lism in the press .
! | The Xorlh Slcff . yrdshWe Mercury of the 17 th , furnishes a copiona report of the examination and committal of Ellis , for high treason . And this examination , in connection with the un-? ir and rascally comment of the base tool of Action " wot does the Mercury'" gives us a peep into some of the tricks which the' enemies of tho people are resolved to resort to , rather than secure national prosperity , by rendering justioe to the toiling
! and starving millions . We have long known that the authority of the constitution is suspended , and thus " th \ 3 free and happy country" . is under a | virtual , if not an actual despotism . We alBO know that this system of misrule and tyranny is sustained by a whole army of spies aud informers , who provide the food necessary to satisfy the insa-| liable hungerings of the demon of capital and ; cla « s domination . If the readers of the Star have
[ any remaining doubts upon this subject , we think ' they will find them removed by the following detail , given in the Mercury , of the means pereeveringly i and successfully resorted to for the apprehension of ; Ellh : — j " In consequence of the prominent position he had : taken , and the seditious language which it was re-; ported to the magistrates he had uttered , a warrant ! was issued for his apprehension , charging him with \ sedition . Ellis , however , cither slarmed at tho turn which affairs had taken , or fearful that he should be ; apprehended , thonght it prudent to leave the district , S which he did secretly , on the I 2 . h of August , and it
< is said on thas day he wa 3 seen passing through I Copglcton . Notwithstanding that diligent enquiry I was made , he was completely lost sight of for a few i days , when information was received that he was ! hiding in Shropshire , between . Market DrayJon and | Wellington , and the police wont there in search of I him , bat he had removed from thence the night before . It was at first suspected ho had taken refuge in Wales , but this turned out not to be the fact , for he was afterwards traced from Shropshire to Liverpool , I where he arrived on the very day the Philadelphia j sailed to America from that port . It being thought I possible thai ho might have sailed in that vessel—as
i ! - I no further trace of him could be found in Liverpool I —his apprehension was considered very doubtful ; but at tho beginning of last week a fresh clue was obtained by Mr . RyL : ) , superintendant of the Burslem police , who hed a letter e > . own to him by an in' habitant of iiurslem , which ho had received from a I j friend in Glasgow , in which the fact was stated that | " Bill Ellis wa 3 at work there , "' under the name of ! George Forrester , and that the writer had seen him . f j Mr . Ryles lost no time in communicating this intcl-I 1 licence to Samuel Alcock , Esq ., the indefatigable i cbiof constable of the town , who forthwith
despatched Inspector Tierney , of the A division of London police , to Glasgow , with the warrant for Ellis ' s apprehension . The Inspector left Burslera on Tuesday morning , and arrived in Glasgow on Wednesday evening , when he found that the information was cor res ; as to Ellis being thtre . The Inspector got the warrant counter-signed by the Glasgow magistrates , and by means of a little stratagem , succeeded in apprehending Ellis at the manufactory of Mr . Thompson , in the Gallowgate , Glasgow , without his entertaining the least idea that his liberty was in jeopardy . "
No one , after reading this , can donbt for one moment that there is a regular organised spy system established , both local and national ; and that the agents are chosen from the ranks of those who are not by any means troubled with an over scrupulous conscience , or who attach any undue importance to the sanctity of an oath . The following also , from a late trial in Ireland , shews what sort of evidence is admitted , when the object is to convict honest men of I crimes of which they were never guilty , but whose i love of freedom renders them obnoxious to a class-I made Government . One of the Government witi nesses thus gave his evidence : —
' I waa * nahbed' in September last . I was ei ^ ht days in ' crib . ' The first I spoke to abouo Rib-| benism , after I was ' necked , ' was Constable Johnston , and told him to go for the Provost of Sligo , which he did . When I had conferred , v- ' iva . that

gentleman , I was let otst on heavy bail . After that I attended meetings , made passwords , Ribbonmen , and all that . I made Kibbonmen by the hundreds . The police knew that was the business I went on . I was out from September to February . 1 did not expect to be wanted by the police till about Patrick ' s day—till the assizes time . When I returned , I told them about the meetings- By the word' them' I mean Mr . Fawcett , Provost of Sligo , and the magistrates . While I was out of jail , I concocted about sixty-six
Ribbon papers , and scattered them about as well as I could . The magistrates knew all this . During the time I wrote several letters to people , and got answers . I took the oath of the society once , twice , thrice , four times—aye , fourteen times—I had no farther to go , or I would have sworn more- I am at this moment breaking them all . I get my support FaoM the GovBRNMEHT . My conscience stretches sometimes . During ihe six months I was out I was as busy as ever at the old' trade . '"
In reply to the Attorney-General , he gave the following ominous answer : — " / wrote the Ribbon letter * , S ( c ., distributed them , and canvassed Ribbonmen , under the direction of the magistrates , but not of the police ; the former were perfectly aware of what I waa doing . " And another police spy , of the name of Cox , on the same occasion , thus proclaimed in open court the means he resorted to for the accomplishment of the villanous services he was paid by the people's money to perform : —
" I told the party that I was from Termonbarry , in the county Roscomnaon . That was a lie . I told other lies on the occasion . That was a lie to Bay that a man from Stokestown was to hare met me there . I may have told other lies then . I think it quite right to tell the lies . It would not answer mo to tell the truth always . I consider it wa 9 only my duty to tell the lies . When it comes in my way , as a policeman , I don't think much of telhng a lie . ' It is plain from all the proceedings of the solons of Newcastle , on the examination of Ellis , that their
worsnip 3 , acting doubtless in conformity with their secret instructions , had a doable purpose to serve First , Ellis was to be committed for some offence what—was not at first decided on , but at all events , he had not been caught to be let loose again ; so evidence must be provided for the accusing of him . It was provided , and so manufactured as to givo the humane possessors of " a little brief authority" the exquisite pleasure of refusing bail , and of punishing him before trial , by refusing him intercourse nith his friends , and the use of writing materials . We have read over all this bo carefully—collected evidence with more than our usual attention , and we unhesitatingly deelaro , that a mass of more paltry and inconsistent rubbish was never Bworn to
in any of our courts of inquiry . We are certain that no sane man will give oredit to the statements put forth , and had Ellis to bo tried on this evidence by " a jary of his pesrs , " his acquittal would be certain . But he will be tried by a middleclass jary , with whom the evidence will be nothing , but who will convict him of any crime with which his persecutors may please to charge him , simply because they are told he is a Socialist and a Chartist It is for his principles that he will in reality suffer , though the smooth-faced hypocrites will not dare to be honest in their villany , and say so . The charge of Treason , of the committal of which there is not the shadow of evidence , is merely got up as a cloak ; and it is too flimsy to answer the purpose in the eye of every honest man .
Bui the authorities had another object to serve . Their prosecution of the noble patriot , Coopeb , may break down , unless some better evidence than that upon which tho warrant for his apprehension was granted can be procured ; and Cooper is to be made a victim to the malice of the middle-elass scoundrels , whose heartlessne&s and hypocrisy ho has so often and so efficiently exposed . For the accomplish , ment of their noble object the magistrates steppod out of their prescribed line of duty , in order to elicit from the witnesses against Ellis some additional evidenoe which mi ^ ht tend to prejudge Cocpkr ' s case in the minds of the Jury before whom ho is to be tried , and with whom his acquittal or conviction rests . What , in the name of common sense , we ask , has tho following portions of the evidenoe to do with the case of Ellis at all
?" Thomas Smith , boot and shoe maker , of Shelton He stated that he was a special constable of Henley and SheltoD , and on Monday morning , the 15 h oi August , he was present at a meeting on the Crown Bank , which was attended by a great number or" persons—many hundreds . It was what was oalled a Chartist meeting , and the principal speaker at it vras Cooper ; but witness did not Bee the prisoner there . Cooper spoke a good deal respecting the clergy and the State Church , and he told the meeting " they must stick to their work , " ( as witness supposed , relerring to what had been . ' agreed on at a previous ? meeting ! , and moved a resolution " that work shou'd
be suspended until that day month , " and by that means " they should obtain the Charter . " After passing this resolution , ths mob proceeded from the meeting to Lord Granville ' s colliery , turned all the men out that were at work , stopped the engines , and plugged the boilers . They then turned a bum bailiff out of a house , and forced him to go along with them . They next liberated the orisoners from the lock up ; attacked the police office , broke open the door , dashed in the windows , and ransaoked the place . After that they attacked Mr . Gibbs ' a , broke th 9 house windows , and ransacked the office . The mob then passed on towards Stoke , but witness did not
follow them . From the advice given them at this meeting , witness believed that the mob pursued the violent line of conduct that they hai dono . On tho same day witness was at a meetiug in tho ? aine place , about seven o ' clock in the evening . Witness observed Cooper speaking again . At that meeting Cooper said , " La , ds , you have done your work well ; not that I ' m going to commit myself by the la > v—but you have done your duty liko men . i ' ou muit k « ep it up , and then we shall have the Chaiter the law ot ' the land . " It was getting dusk ihcn , aud witness retired from the inueiiug , au-i m company with some gentlemen , he had the ploaturo of taking a glass of ule . "
And no doubt while enjoying tho pleasure of drinking a glass of ale with " gentlemen . " he struck a bargain with the said " gentlemen" as to what bloodmoney ho was to receive as the prico of hiB evidence to aid in Cooper ' s conviction . Thomas Firth , ta lor aud draper , o £ Tunstall . About seven o ' clock on the evening of Friday , tho 24 th June ( he believed ) , saw the prisoner aiul Capper go to the Tvc ^ t end of the Market-place , Tuns'all , when Capper mounted u stool , which lie carried wi ; -h him , and addressed tho meeting , whilst tho prisoner stood by . At first uiure were thirty or forty persons present , but they incroased during Capper ' s speech to about 200 . Capper 6 aid , they must hayo tho the Charter . He said , " I suppose they aro bringing the red-coated gentry to stop us , but there is sufficient
strengtn among tho people to defeat thoir base tyrauts aud the soldiers too . Ho said tho bulk of the soldiers were gone to China , to murdor the poor Chinese—that there were not more thun five soldiers lor each to ' . vn . Capper went on to recommend the people to arm themselves , for a great s ' , r . ; gijle would certainly take place shortly , when the p .-oplo would have to fight for their political rights . He said , " The noble-minded Chartists of Yorkshire and Lancashire have armed themselves , do you likewise follow their noble example . Those that can't afford to get guns , must get pikes ; and those that cannot afford to get either , must get torches . " The object of the arming , Capper sa d , was " to fight for their political rights . " Ho said the day was close at hand when the people must make laws for themselves , for their tyrantB were deaf to all their petitions . "
All this , and much more of the evidence adduced had nothing to do with the subject of the inquiry , but it oould be made luoful another way , and that other way was clearly contemplated by the magistrates . Thus the witness Smith was interrogated by some of the worthies on the bench : — " Mr . Wise—You say yon left the meeting when Cooper had done speaking . Why did you do so ? * Witness—I left because I was afraid . u To Mr . Ward—I was attending the meeting to gee what was going on . It was not possible for the police to have interfered against the mob with effect ; it would haye taken a hundred more police , with pieces loaded , to have charged them with effect .
u To Mr . Wise—Tho language used at the meeting by Cooper was likely to excite to acts of violence , and when the fires occurred , witness oonnected them in his own mind as the result of the language that he had heard used . " Mr . Broade—When Cooper said , You haye dona your work well , ' to what did you suppose he referred ? " Witness—To the riotous proceedings of the day . To Mr . Ward—Saw Capper at the meeting , but did not hear him speak . Tho last answer clearly convicts tho witness of perjury . " Saw Capper at the . meeting , but did .

not hear him speak . " He had just before detailed ihe substance of Capper ' s address . Bat suppose that tho word Capper is a misprint for prisoner , then the same fact is proved ; for he had stated on oath that he did not sea prisoner there . This examination appears to have been intended to effect great things . Others , besides Cooper and Ellis , were to be affected by it . Hence the witness Firth , after some remarks which he says the pri-Boner made , tells us : — " The observations witness said were applauded by the majority of the crowd , and among the applanders he particularly noticed Huxley , Capper , Nixon , and Howard . Ralph Baker was present at the meeting , bat witness did not notice him applauding . "
Thus endeavouring to produce in the minds of the Jury class a prejudgment of these several cases ; the examining Magistrates very evidently leading themselves as pliant tools to carry oat the infamous intentions of their still more infamous co-partners in iniquity . In this meritorious design , however , the " worshipful" scamps must not be allowed to carry off all the honours ; the press generally of both factions is entitled to its full share of publio odinm , and in this particular the Editor of the North Staffordshire Mercury is especially worthy of an infamous notoriety . The miserable driveller has done all he could to earn his sh 3 re of the blood money , which is no donbt to be liberally distributed amongst " the friends of order . " Thua he introduces his report of the examination of Ellis : —
" APPREHENSION OF ELLIS , ANOTHER CHARTIST LEADER , AND HIS COMMITTAL
ON A CHARGE OF TREASON . " William Ellis , a character well known in this neighbourhood , from the prominent part he has taken as a Socialist aud Chartist , has at length been apprehended , and committed for trial , on the serious charge of treason . " For some few months past he had been more particularly aotive in his advocacy of the Charter ; and in addition to the usual tirade of abuse which the Chartist leoturere generally poor forth against all who differ with them , as * tyanta and oppressors of the people , ' Ellis more especially called attention to tne middle classes , whom he very frequently
designated as the most impudent , ignorant , insolent , overbearing , oppressive , and worthless clas 9 of . individuals that ever existed , affirming that they were the class which stood between the people and their rights ; and declaring that , sooner than allow them to remain an impediment , he would recommend the people to exterminate them . One of the last times he uttered this language * forsooth , was at a meeting called by the Chartists themselves , to endeavour to promote a union of the middle and working classes , for the obtaining of the Charter ! Although W 6 l |» vc mentioned this oeeting in particular , we have repeatedly had it reported to us , that his usual
language was of the most reckless and violent kind . The only occasion on which we ourselves heard him speak , was when he officiated as chairman at the meeting held in connection with the M O'Connor Demonstration" in this district , some months ago j but at that meeting the speeches of the Charsists wore the moat moderate—including that of O'Connor himself—that we have listened to at any of their displays . On that occasion O'Connor complimented the meeting on the talent of their young chairman , ( Ellis ) , and expressed regret that he did not continue the excellent speech which he ( O'Connor ) had interrupted , by his appearance on the platform . A stock theme with Ellis , was the Mercury's dereliotion of dnty in not giving reports of the speeches delivered by himself
and other agitators . "On the unhappy occurrence of the turn-out of the colliers in North Staffordshire , Ellis and his associates were not slow to avail themselves of it , as a means whereby they might promote their political objects , and we find him with Cooper , and other Chartists , present at the meetings of the turn-out colliers—or rather Chartist colliers—before and after tho riots and arson which characterised the proceedings of the mob on the 15 th and 16 th August ; indeed , it will be seen that one witness swore to seeing Ellis actually present with his face blackened during the fire at the Rev . R . E . Aitken ' s , and the next morning saw him at the head of the mob going in the direction of Burslem , where it jyas fired on by the soldiers . "
This is clearly intended to so prejudice the minds of the class from whom tho Juries will be selected , as to close their ears against all the appeals of counsel , or the evidence that may be adduced in the defence . And what do the wretches intend by all thoir outrageous violation of all law and decency ? To put down the movement . We are told"A special meeting of magistrates was held at Newbastlc on Monday , at which Lord Talbot , the
Lord Lieutenant , was present . The business had reference to the preservation of the peace in this part of the county ; and amongst other things , we aro told , it was resolved not to allow any meetings to be held in the open air for some time to come . Arrangements for the establishment of the horse patrol in several districts of She county aro in active progress ; and in some places the mou will be ready for service almost immediately . In the vicinity of the Potteries tho horse patrol is nightly on duty . "
And then we are furnished with the following intelligence , which evinces the recklessness of faction , if it does nothing else : — " The magistrates acting for the Newcastle station have sent the following circular to the proprietors and residents in the Pirehill district . Oi the propriety of such a measure there cannot be two opinions . The troops not being stationed at Newcastle for the defence of that borough alone , but to maintain the peace of the whole district , it is to be expected that an extended subscription will be obtained in the neighbourhood : — " Castle Hotel , Newcastle-under-Lyme , Sept . 10 ih , 1842 .
" The CoJonol commanding the midland distriot , having signified to the officer in command of the detachment stationed in this district , that it is highly objectionable and very injurious to discipline , to keep the troeps in billet , and that the Government will be recoininended to withdraw the forces , unlesB immediate steps- be taken for providing a temporary barrack , fitted up with bedding and utensils "; it has become necessary for tho magistrates appointed to act for this station-to unito with the Mayor and inhabitants o'f Newcastle , to raise the funds to procure the required accommodation .
" It is my duty to state to you , that I believe the lives and property of Her Majesty ' s subjects oannot bo protected during the approaohing winter , unless a , military force bo stationed in the district ; and I therefore tako tbo liberty of earnestly requesting you to assist the magistrates in their anxious exertions to preserve tho peace by sending a subscription to ' The Newcastle bairack Fund , ' at Messrs . KmnersJy ' s , for tho purpose of paying the rent and fitting up a building , which has been seen and approved of by Major Deedes , the commanding officer of the district . "The business at Newcastle , which is very heavy , is undertaken by Captain Mainwaring and Mr . Wise .
" Arrangements havo bean made to ensure the presence of a magistrate at Hanley every night , to bo with the troops . " The maddened fools ! As well might they expect to remove the sun from the firmament , or turn the seasons from their course , as to pat down that resolution to be free which is now , through God , glowing with unquenchable ardour in the breasts of millions of our enslaved countrymen . Eaotion may rave , victims may suffer , the demands for justice may be disregarded—but as sure as there is a just God in heaven , the doom of oppression is sealed for ever .

The Sturob Men ' s ' NO . "— The simple " NO" of the Sturge men , recorded in our last , as their answer to ihe applieationfrom Jlhite ' s Committee , has caused a complete hubbub among them . Many of their adherents affirm that it must have been the 'vork of some individual on his own responsibility , and require to be informed who signed the ** NO" reply : others demand that we should say of whom the Council Meeting consisted . We do not see how this last requirement bears upen the question ; but as toe always like to oblige when we can , we give the following list of the persons composing this somewhat famous " ¦ democratic" Council Meeting from their own offiow ^ vgan . — » Joseph Sturget president ; JJ . T . RowLnson , Birmingham ; W . Lovett , London ; A . Albright , Birmingham ; John Collins , Birmingham ; George Goodrich , Birmingham : n % ? f ^ ' Nottingham : John Dun / op , bdmburgh ; Lawrence , Hcyworih , Liverpool ; James C .

Money Dear-eabned . —A correspondent writes us that a poor woman in the neighbourhood 4 f Wigan has paced backwards and forwards from her own house to her employer ' s warehouse as many times in reference to one single warp as have entailed upon her the travelling of 204 miles of ground—the price ijf the weaving of the warp ia 6 s . ( id . I . " An Old Chartist ; but not " The Old Chartist'" must excuse us : we have not room for his letter . The only point in it has been replied to in the Star again and again . The repeal ef the Corn Corn Laws would but strengthen " the outworks" of the enemy ' s citadel . Grebnock Chartists . —They have not given the residences of their Council—the list cannot
appear . Wm . Faihburn , Wedresburt , must know that our correspondents should write on one side of their paper only . Newcastle Chartists . —The Home Office have nothing to do with the payment of wages to the police : the whole control of their expenditure , engagement , and discharge is placed in the hands of a" watch committee . " Liverpool Chartists— Their list of Council mould have been printed had the residences of the members been properly given . Lewisham Chartists . —The same remark as the
above will apply to their list . The DuNFERMLiifE Victims—A . Hendersox and T . Morrison . —We received on Thursday evening , loo late for notice in our last Paper , an address on behalf of these gentlemen which would fill more than a column of our Paper . It would be impossible for us to occupy so much space ; but we do trust that our Scotch friends will see that their own victims be cared for : indeed , we trust that all will receive all the assistance which ihe whole people can give them . Squire Auty . — We advise him to write again to the Editor of Ihe Leeds Times . Possibly kis former letter may have miscarried , or have been mislaid , or forgotten . We cannot think so simple an act
of justice will be denied him : at all events , we recommend him to " try again . " Mr . John Pepper . —This gentleman writes to inform his friends that , though driven from home by the bloodhounds , he is neither dead nor asleep , nor yet idle ; but is working in the glorious cause of freedom , and feels disposed to continue to work . His home and family have beenpiell protected by the police ever since he quitted . They have searched his house , drawers , cupboards , and even the side oven ,- —whether for pudding or bacon is best known to the blue devils themselves . Robert Adams would thank Ruffy Ridley for his address .
Patrick O'Neil writes to us , detailing a most gross and scandalous case of private outrage . The publication of it would subject us to another libel prosecution i while it would do the writer no manner of good . We really know not how to advise him under the circumstances . He seems to have done all that he can do . The fact is , that for a poor man there is neither justice nor law to be had in this blessed land of ours . Mb . John Watkins . — We have some enquiries as to whether this gentleman be or be not receiving a pound a week from the Star- office . We know not from what motivee these enquiries are made . We know no man to whom , if the Star-office could support every one , its support would be more
cheerfully awarded . Mr . Watkins has'done much to serve the cause , and he has made great sacrifices in the cause—real sacrifices , such as , though he speaks not of them , might bear speaking of . We regret much to learn that he has really become a sufferer in every sense of the word . We do think the London Chartists ought not to permit such a man to suffer . His exertions have been latterly almost entirely among them . If , as we said before , the Star could support all who need supporting , no man would have it sooner ; but this it cannot do , nor has the country any right to expect that it should . The Dundee Victim . —The address on behalf of Messrs . Ross , Penny , and Graham has been received ; but tee cannot insert all ihe addresses of
this kind that reach us . The best way would be for a General Defence and Relief Fund to be established for all victims and their families ^ both Scotch and English—under the management of a public committee . ' . R . T . Morrison . — We have written him privately to say ''' Yes . " Mb . W . Matthews writes in reference to the Generat Dejence Fund : — "In some districts I find they are starting funds for individuals : this I think should not be the case ; for it was an error in 1839 , and should not be repeated . Let there be but one defence fund , ana let it be national . Let us have one treasurer , in whom every man who has a shilling to spare can place the most
implicit confidence . Let every Chartist be well defended ; for the meanest of them is as much to me as the greatest—for all have been , in my opinion , equally short-sighted for nibbling at the bail which their enemies had set for them . " We cordially coincide in our Correspondent ' s opinion and suggestions on this matter . Carlisle . —^ respondent writes : — "The Council of the Chartist Association here , acting on your wise advice , did everything in their power to prevent the late Strike taking place , for which discreet and proper conduct they have been abused , villified , and denounced by certain individuals , who , I have every reason to believe , are members of the anti-Corn Law League , and who have been put forward to propagate their false " hoods , for the sole purpose of dividing and finally
destroying the Chartist cause . They have succeeded in slopping the regular collections , and have been assuming a power which alone belonged to the Council . They are now plotting to destroy , or at least injure , Mr . Arthur , bookseller , a man who has done more to forward our cause here than almost any other individual . " We know nothing of the parties immediately pointed to in this communication ; but we know that in every locality such parties maybe expected to be found ; and though they may for a time carry with them a few of the people by appealing to their passions , instead of their judgment , the people will eventually discover who have been their best friends . •* The Major" informs " Tideus" that he has gone to New Orleans , and would be glad to meet him there .
Georg , e Clarkson , Sheffield , writes . — "One thing which appeared in your Paper of Saturday last ought to be contradicted . Your report says , 'After Mr . Vincent ' s lecture , on Saturday even ' ing , Mr . William ( not Edwin ) Gill announced , that in the course of the present week a meeting of the members of the Political Institute would be held , to take into consideration the propriety of merging that body into the Complete Suffrage Union . ' I know not whether this has been reported by mistake , or for some foul purpose , but it is false from beginning to end . Mr . GUI never mentioned such a thing ; neither has such a thing ever been mooted by that body . After Mr . V . s lecture the Chairman announced that the Youths
meet every Thursday evening m that room , ' and the subject for discussioji on Thursday evening would be on the propriety or impropriety of joining the Complete Suffrage Union ; but the Youtlis are a body to themselves , and only meet in the same room . " We wish the two " sections of Chartists" at Sheffield would exhibit more of Chartist character with in their dealings and towards each other . We know not what the public of Shffield feel about it ; but we are much a'hamed of it . Wm . Parker writes : — " With regard to my friend George White , I think that he is bound in his own recognisance for £ 200 for each offence , in all £ 500 , and to find two sureties for each offence for £ 1 CO each , making in all £ 1 , 200 . Now ,
I think , as there are three charges against him , two to be tried at Birmingham and one at Warwick , if the Birmingham Committee were to get two men as surely for White ' s appearance at Warwick , and two men for each of the other two called offences *—if the authorities should say no to this , and the people should allow "the same authorities to rule this land , we may soon expect to be bought and sold in the market as slaves . My reasons for writing to you this letter are these : — Suppose that the jacks m office were to knock two men down in the street , and that theg were going to place a ton weight on one man ' s body , and
50 / 6 s . weight on the other man , we should try to get or save the man from under the ton , but not to forget the man that was down under the S 0 / 6 s . weight . I think they do intend to lay it on White as hard as they can ; but George White is no made of flinching nor runaway stuff . " James Wills . —We have no room . James HKVL . ^ -Thanks for his attention ; Jut uie shall not use the scrap sent . J . C . Grady . —His letter came too late for present insertion or attention . He must writ e to . the parties whom he desires to hear from . , as he has their several addresses .

Irish Universal Suffrage Society . —Their long address should be sent to the Nonconformist , which is the official organ of the National Complete Suffrage Uniou . A Sufferer . — We advise him to consult a regular
and respectable surgeon , and have nothing to do with ihe quacks . Ma . Dickenso ? ' ,. —We don ' t understand the meaning of the note accompanying his communication .

CARUSXlB . —Revising Barristers' Courts —The revision of the lists of voters commenced on Thursday , the 15 th instant , before H . S . Stanhope and F . Pollock , Esqrs ., the revising barristers Many of the objections were of a frivolods and vexatious character , inasmuoh as having caused the parties objected to the trouble and expence of attending from considerable distances to defend their votes , they have in very many instances been withdrawn , without having ever been submitted to the barristers at all . Both parties are alike guilty of having made objections which they clearly could not sustain , bnt evidently for the purpose of annoying and aggravating the parties thus objected to , witn a view of their not attending the Court to meet thi
objections so unjustly made against them . Tne Whig and Tory attornies seem to make a trade of thus trifling with the constituency , in order that their work may be prolonged , and their profits increased ; for we understand they are amply paid by their respective parties . Many persons have beep objected to for the third and fourth time , and their votes have been invariably established by the barris ters ; yet they are annoyed and disgusted in this disgraceful manner , so as to almost deter themftoft exercising their right to the franchise at all . Then have been numerous objections agaiDjst the old free * men , in consequence of their hav ' . ng , immediately after the last election , received fhe gum of £ 2 f < £ a plumper , and £ 1 for each sp ' iit vote , from tin Tories .
Beneficial Effects of Oo-operatiom amowS the Working Classes . —Lately the working class here havo taken up the subject of co-operating wita each other , for the purpose of purchasing provisions at the oheapest rate . They have succeeded , in sever *! instances , to form themse ivea into small co-opera' jrt societies , which haa enabled them to save , onordintfT articles of consumptKjn , at least from 20 to 39 P * cent . In eome instau' ees they have clubbed togetW and purchased sheep , and lambs , which they hstt had butchered , and nave , in almost all cases , realist a considerable ber icfit ; having got excellent mutton at the rate of fror a twopence-halfpenny to threepen * per lb . ; where * . a , the market price ha 3 bean fto « fourpence ^ -half penny to sixpence per lb . We a * sf
glad to see the working men thus looking «* themselves and their families , and we trust «" spirit whip h has lately actuated them , will incresa and lead ' uhem on to greater exertions aad more **" tensive » , rrangement £ , so that they may reap * h »* bentfiw , of their own industry Let them e 3 tabliso store ? and act honestly by each other , and thef * j » be © aabled to have gooda of the best quality » J the cheapest rate .

THE DEFENCE COMMITTEE OF MR . GEORGE I WHITE . TO THE CHARTISTS OF WORCESi TER 5 HIRE AND WARWICKSHIRE . Brothers—The arrest and subsequent imprisonment of friecd White , your delegate at the late conven-| tiou , is , v ? e presume , well kno ^ n to you ; also that bail his bfctn tendered for his appearance when called for , and that it hiis been refused . Entirely precluded himself from taking measures for hia defence , his only hope for obtaining justice must depend upon you . If the assertion were true , that there is the same law for the rich as for the poor , there would be no occasion for this appeil—experience has ever proved it to be a lie . In the \ case of onr friend , had he been wealthy , his bail would have been aacepted , thr . ugk they had been insolvent
| A committee has been formed fco procure funds for hia defence ; for in this country law and gold are coni vertible terms , and the committee call upon yon to i render him all the aid his known honeBty and industry | deserve . Tho committee are taking tha necessary steps for an : application to the judges , on the score of excessive bail , | ana illegal refusal of those tendered . ( Wken Mr . White was before the magistrates he was i told that two sureties in £ 100 each , with himeelf , i would be sufficient . Since then the magistrate * have I declared they require four ; and the governor of Warwick gaol declares , from the manner in which the three indictments are backed , that he should not consider himiself justified in allowing Mr . W . to leave unless there were six sureties in £ 106 each provided . From this it is clear that there is naught to be hoped for from the magistrates of Birmingham should he be trisd before them ; and in tho event of the application to the Judges being successful , the Committee intend to apply , in the next place , far a writ of certiorari , to remove the trial to the Warwick Spring Aasizjs . These proceedings will be expansive ; the committee , therefore , request your cordial co-operation and support .
| With the fullest confidence that you will do yooi dnty for the man who haa done his , the Committee leave his oase in your hands . Signed , on behalf of the Committee , W . Chiltob , Sec P . S . All communications to be addressed to tho Secretary , Mrs . White ' s , 38 , Bromsgrove-atreet , BirmingbAm . Immediate attention is requested in consequence of the shortness of the time previous to the Sessions .
