Mt D * a and pEHSicrirD Beotheh Chahtists , b The = e a-e . indeed , times to try m » n's souls . ' The good « hip Charier ha ? been causht in one of those trade vinds for which she wa * not prepare-i , it was bo sadden and not announced by asy of those usual omens which precede a coming revival . Some of th hands have beea washed overboard , but the complement has been acain made up , and not a soul on board who would not rather sink with the crew ihn abandon the wreck . Oh ! we have beea foully treated ; most foully persecuted ; but heed rot persecution . If the principle is worth iv ng for , it is worth dying for and therefore worth persecution-bearing . When
a military commander rouies his enemy he endeavours to compiete bis triumph by scattering the fugitives and mikir . g many prisoners ; so it is with the political commander . The Tories of 1 S 42 , as the Whig 3 of 1839 . would "lay the flattering unction to their souls , " tha ; they hid annihilated Chanism , because some are consigned to loathsome dungeons and the transport is in readiness for others ; and in the hope of comp leting their triumph , they would intimidate others from occupying that position from which their friends have been dislodged . How vain , how hopeless , how very hopeless , to make such a false estimate of our numbers , out devotion , and our adherence to principle . In this state of things , my
friends , I woviid especially direct your attention to that which is cheering , but intended as dishearteniig . The To ? y press teems with open denunciation of Chartists and Chartist principles , and recommends every cr sbj means for the destracnou of lie Chartist party ; while the ^~ hi £ press would destroy us by kind admonition , by friendly caution and wholesome advice . The Whig scribes deny our strength ., and laugh a * , our union , while they point out in a kijidly mamier , of course , the error 3 into which we have fallen , and the necessary means for their corrcctioB . Want of union , mention of physical
force , and disinclination to join with the "free traders" are amongst the mos : serious charges brought against us by the Whig writers . In ' , take my word ; fox the fact , that these assaults upon the few weak *! points of the foriress , bat prove its strength and im- ' pw / jnabiiiry . ] so man in his senses ever supposed that the Morning Chronicle or its followers felt the leas : inclination to strengthen the hinds cf the people , while the strength of their tuise is mid-j manifest in the weakness of their enemies' assaults . The censure , therefore , of the Wh : g press must be taken as praise . They charge
is for want of union , while we are the only party & the state ih . 2 . 1 cm boas : of perfect union . We charge them with treachery , iiicjinpeteney , : owardiee , and irj-srice , which they cannot me-. t othe rwise than by recrimination ; and evcu that is TFeak . Maiij a :: <_ Ep : s art- row be : i - ca-Je to win iS , weak a ^ we 3 re ; tat ail will is . il . S . nie mushroom leaders would win you by pointiLg ou : the jre&t advantages ¦ wikli a union , with the middling classes would confer u , ; 'n you , and to insure : hose advantages , would tempt you into a general unk-n wi : h that order , as a body ;
ethers would point ou : the great benems to > e gained by a distiact union with the Corn-Law League party , and all means are put into full force vo bring about a union of some sort or other . Now , ill such means will fail ; but the mosr dastardly attempts are those of professing Char :: s : l-.-adere , who would endeaavuur to hurt your pride by leading yon to suppose that you are looked upon as the dupes cfFeargus 0 Connor . Th ; = las : and basest subterfuge ef faciior , has had no effect upon those for whom alone I contend—the poor ; and as for the time-servers of ail other classes , I look with
contempt upon thsm . You perceive a weakness in many good men upon this point , —a desire to be considered wholly unconnected with or umuflutnced by Peargus O'Connor . It is therefore kigh time that I should proclaim to the -world , and to the working classes in . particular , that the principle ? of FeiTgus O'Connor are the adopted and cherished of ninetynint of every one htndred who live a life of fndistry , and that all attempt ? , c-pon or cover ; , to bring him into disrepute are intended as a rce ^ ns to dettroy his principles . It is nut fur any peculiar merit of his own that he is loved and honoured , beloved and respected , aye , even adored , by the working classes ; it is in consequence of his devotion to them and their cause , and until faction can prove
him a delinquent , he will remain uppermost in tneir affection and foremost in their thoughts . My children , then , be not shamed out of your fouu affection for me , Let not your vanity be wounded by the charge of being O'Ccnnorites . I am not ashamed of being called ill names for my devotion to you ; be not isbuned of bekg called honourable ones , lest you shotld be = apposed to love me . 1 should be very EdsErabje and unhappy if I thought any one of you hated me from a just cause , and I am happy to think thai yen all love me . because I have given yon res < on \ o do so . I am righting faction for you with all lay might , with £ . 11 my soul , and with ail' my stresgth ; and , therefore , faction hates me . It is jour loie that has hitherto enabled me to make good theground for our principles ; for although men are daily persecuted , yet are their principles daiiy gaining : £ treng : h . I hope soon to be amongst you once more , meantime I am not idle or negligent of tie inurer . s of thc / se who claim my mo ? i immediate cor < .-: dcri : ; on .

THE PEOPLE'S SYMPATHIES . We feel that -we never before sat down to the performance of so solemn , so imperative a duty , as that which now devolves upon us . It wouid be in vain were we to attempt to describe the emotions which oppress us , or the sorrow which bows us down to the very earth . Absorbed as we are in the contemplation of the misery which 53 now being endured by husbands and fathers , by wives aud mothers , as well as by the anticipation of that fearful late which awaits their helpless , their innocent off > priug—every other consideration is borne away upon the wings of the regardless wind ! Is there a man , whatever his political creed , whose heart is not touched with compassion for the martyrs to their faith ? And shall we , whose sympathies , were their sympathies , deny them the tribute of our tears—of our consolation ?
It would be impossible to give any artificial coloring to the living wretchedness with which , dp . y after day , we are made acquainted . So apalhng , indeed , ars the statements -which we are doomed to hear , or read , that our energies have been well nigh paralyzsd , while we have almost been tempted to doubt the sublime truth , " Verily , there is a God . ' " We doubt not that our feelings have been shared by every Chartist in the Kingdom ; but should we be mistaken—should there be one who dares to cali himself by that name , who has no pity for the helpk : > s , no arm for the defenceless—let euch an one instantly depart out of our camp .
But , brethren , " we arc persuaded better things of you . " Though personally we know you not , we can yet i mas me the burden of your thoughts by day . and your reflections by night . By day , in the mid&Ji , « f your toil for "tfw bread that petfidieth , " your thoughts hare hovered about the loathsome cr ) J , or vainly endeavoured to face the track of the transported acro&s the bosom of the deep , till some vision of horror extorted the groan that would net be stifled within your agonized breast . By nigh * ycu have thought of the bereaved wife , and the wor .-e than orphan children . In your imagination vou have
beheld the poor solitary wetting her couch with her tears , and iu the mid ^ of her desolation , reeardlis- ; of the importunities of her children crying f < r bread . All this jour imagination has pictured to you , and yourinmo-t r-oul has shuddered at the bare contemplation of s-uch awful realities . At that moment—in that hour of mental attraction—what wuuld you not have tjiven couid you have restored the husband to the wi ; e—the father to his children I What , indeed . ' Bur , a ! as I the coiisciuu = n-. ss of your inability —your uitt-r helplessness—hung , lik ? a milistuiie , about your heart , and , " God help them : " died upon yosr lips .
Men and brethren , arouse ye from this Ict ' . iergy of despair , and bethink you how best ye may ?; icc ; iur the oppressed . To assist you in this work of justice , as well as mercy , we now call upon each aud every one of you to petition the Queeu lor a remission , or , at all events , for a mitigation , of thu puni-hment , which the Judges have , in so manv instance .- so fearfully awarded . A petition to Parliament would be attended with no other benefit than that which might accrue from so magnificent a demonstration ; but , thar . k God ' the Qutren is not the Pari ! ainei ; t . Every city , town , villain , and hamlet , in the
kingdom , shuuld in-= tanily Petition the Throne . The petitions should have but one object—the reu a ~ e uf the captives—'" the opening of me prison doors to them that are bound . " The petitions should be immediately transmitted to Sir James Graham . Her Majesty ' s Sccrc-cary of State for the Home Department , for presentation to the Queen . Tins )» o : ie thing to be done . Another is 10 subscribe , to pubscribe liberally , and to induce others to rubs-.-ribe for the relief of the destitute families o : the prisoners . Your money , though it caiiuo : hea ! the broken hear : may help to bind up its wounds ; and if so , will you withhold it 1
Now , we feel that "we si . ou ' . ii be in > ulting your beans , as well a * your heids , if we ur ^ ed ary oth' -r arguments in favour oi' your petinouing the ' 1 hrone . at the same time that ycu adopt the n . o = t en ' . ctual measures for tee relief of tho . ' -e who are trodden down under the fool of man . We . therefore content ours-: lve 3 with commencing the subject to your instant consideration , in the firm conviction that our appeal will not be made in vain . — Evening Mar .
