LETTER FROM MR . WM . HICK , NORTHERN STAR OFFICE , LEEDS . Northern Star Office , Leeds , March 17 th , 1842 . Cffientlemen , —You will oblige by forwarding , at IT your earliest convenience , the same quantity of ¦' PARR'S . LIFE PILLS as last Bent . While I am writing I cannot refrain from communicating'the flattering intelhj { enc « of the groat good your pills art doing in Leeds and its neighbourhood . It is clearly a great error to find fault with a medicine merely because it is a patent one ; and more especially since its use has contributed so largely to the publio health . The fact is , ' however , predjudice is fast giving way , as it always must where the pills are tried . A few cases in point may serve to confirm and illustrate what I have asserted .

WABBIKGTOK . —Having had J . S Buckingham , faq . of the Great League , lecturing us on the repeal and — fifty thousand questions , ' we placarded the town , anaonndng Mr . Dickinson to lectors on Sonday in the afternoon , on the People ' s Wrongs and the People ' s Bemedy ; and at half-past six hi the evening on the Cam Laws and League Fallacies . The afternoon lectnze w& 3 -well attended ; and although the lecturer was labouring under a severe cold , he made a deep and lasting impression on the minds of the audience . At ball-past six in the evening , our room was crammed , stairs , and all . A working man was called cpon to preside , who , in a brief speech , introduced the lecturer , who commenced advicng bis audience to bold back thtir eonvictioiiE , and stick as tight to their prejudices as they could ; he would have them in spite of all their post impressions , and in defiance of the pleasing fallacies , that selfish men and their hirelings throw out to ensnare the unwary : and this transformation should
be performed by the magic wand of truth and stubborn fact alone , for let truth and error grapple , and in a fail and open encounter we have no occasion to fear the Jasue . " In my address to you , " said he , " I have no party purpose to serve ; for the measures I advocate will benefit ail men , bo matter what title they may bear , or what etatson in life they may filL 1 wish to units the broken pieces of society . I wish to heal tbeir wounds aad win my way to the hearts and mice * of men by appealing to their reasoning powers , and not to their prejudices and passions ; for that by which a better Jfcata of things must be accomplished ia . not the sinewy arm , or ttie clumsy cudgel , or the sharp sward . Bo ; men weapons are only worthy of man in a state of wild savage barbarism , when he tried to out do the savage tribes » f the forest and acted the part of the tiger . That which shall win glorious liberty , Is , in the word * of Ben . Stott , author of 'Songs for the "MqUftTiM *

Before it despotism qoaileth ; The bloodied sword before itfaileth ; With truth alone , it aye prevailed , Fair , fearleas , and undaunted !" The lecturer then introduced the snhjeet of his lecture , took up the arguments of the Free Traders one by one , sod showed the difference between "Free Trade' * and "Fair Trade ; ' and replied to the assertion : that the continental states would take , off their tariffs when we took off cur Iaiport duty . " More work , more wages , " was tbe next fallacy examined , and the lecturer , proved
that the reverse had always been the fact . " Extenaionof Trade , " Extension of Distress , " Extension tf crime , ''" extension of disease , " " extension of death , " more trade , " " more ba 8 tnes , "" moraprisons , " ' mcre bospitals , " " mere graves . " The effect produced by Dickinsob ' m happy picture of Joha Smiles , Esq . the great manufacturer , and his three daughters , was a ciencher ; and although it was Sunday , we could not refrain the meeting from giving a hearty round of applause . We can give only a faint outline of the argumentative discourse , and the hearty dIotb dealt at the various sophisms put forth . " Some got a cloucfcf and some got a elaw ; " and I believe there were only three men in the assembly who were not convinced , and those "Were our fat deputy constable and two of ' -fife lobsters ,
¦ stood there from the baginning . Aftertiie lectnre 'Wat concluded , a vote of thanks was passed to the lecturer , who promised to giro tu another lecture on Thursday evening . Subject , " The Triumph of Char turn . 15 As Mr . Dickinson was passing the deputy on his way out , he said , " Well , old gentleman , how do job . like tha discourse ? " to which the deputy said , "he had nothing to say against it ; but he should always attend with his men whenever there was a lecture . " The police force had orders to cut a placard from the wall announcing tbe lectures , and have taken it to the " police-office . On Thursday , evening , the attendance was more
and more numerous , msaj had to go away without an opportunity of hearing the lecture . The room aod stairs were crammed to suffocation . The police were there in full bloom . At eight the lecturer entered tbe zoom amidst tbe cheers of onr frieeds and £ svs as a lecture on the triumph of Chartism , it was a complete triumph for us ; for after the lecture , which lasted nearly two hours , we enrolled sixteen new members and some of our old members who ted left us at the time of the riots , came forward and joined us once more . Tv " e are now beginning with renewed spirit A few more such helps as this , and we shall be able to lioLl oar beads up with the best—Correspondent

He had spent his money in their cause , had Buffered imprisonment , and was prepared to sacrifice eves life itself for them . He had made them what
they sow were—a terror to factios ! He had . taught that which they never knew before—that the upper orders of society were their enemies . He was not what the upper orders represented him to be—a man who would divide property . No , hia only object was the protection of labour Ee ( the chairman ) L-elk-ved F .
