• TO THE POLITICAL AXD SOCIAL REFORMERS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM . brethhw , —In addrcssiBf yon as fellow-labourers in the great cause of human libirty , we would wish to rivet this important truth on your mind : You must becoae your ow » social and political regtnerators , or yon ^ will never enjoy freedom . For true liberty cannot be conferred by acts of Parliament or decrees of princes , but must spring up from th « kpowleige , morality , and pnblic virtue of our population . Be assured , feliowcountrymen , that those who havt hitherto been
permitted to rale the destiines of nations— ' madness or folly have cursed the land with wars , cruelty , oppression , and crime—will ever maintain their power and ascendancy while they have ignorant and demoralised slaves to approve and execute their mandates . Though revolution were to follow revolution , and changes were to be continually effected in our constitution , laws , and government , unless the social and political superstraetar * -were based upon the intelligence and morality cf the people , they -would only have exchanged despotism for dwpotiam , and one set of oppressors for another .
' If , th « refcre , you would escape your present social and political bondage , and benefit your race , yon must bestir yourselves , a * d make every sacrifice to build up the sacred Umple of your own liberties , or by your neglect and apathy bequeath to your offspring an iucreas * of degradation and wrong . You cannot suppose thst these who revel in the spoils of labour , acd live by the wretchedness they have created , -will b * instrumental in promoting the political andsocial improvement of the people . X&ey may talk of liberty while they are forging your fetters , may profess sympathy while they are adding insult to wrong , and may talk of instructing you while they are devising the most efficient meanB for moulding you into passiv * slaves ; but they will contemptuously spurn eJerj proposal for establishing equality of political rights and social obligations—the entering ^ asis of liberty , prosperity , and happiness .
' Let every man among you , then , who is ^ deair « us of seeing , the betra ties of heaven made subservient to huEan enjoyment—who wtu ' . d bless our land with peace and human brotherhood , end erase the intellectual and moral-capabilities man is endowed with to spring forth in all their usefulness apd excellence , anxiously inquire bow be can best aid the holy cause of man ' s social regeneration and political freedom . Tracing meat of our social grievances to claas legislation , we have proposed a jwlitical reform upon the principle * of the People ' s Charter : we have niacie it the polar star of our agitation , and have resolved , by all just and peaceful means , to cause it to become the law of our country . Believing it to have truth f « r its basis , and the happiness of all for ita end , we conceive that it needs not the violence of passion , the bitterness of party Spirit , nor the arms of aggressive warfare for its support ; its principles need only to be unfolded to be appreciated , and bring appreciated by the majority will be established in peace .
' But while we would implore you to direct your undivided attention to the sttainmeB . of that just political measure , we would urge you to make your agitation in fivonr of it more efficient and productive of social benefit than it has been hitherto . We have wasted glorious means of nsefnlneas in foolish displays and gaudy trappings , seeking to captivate tha sense rather than inform the mind , and aping tbe proceedings of a tinselled and corrupt aristocracy rather than aspiring to the mental and moral dignity of a pure democracy . ' Our publie meetings have , on too many occasions , been arenas of passionate invective , party spirit , and personal idolatry , rather than pnblic assemblies for dimly deliberating and freely discussing national or local grievances , or as schools for the advancement of our glorious cause by the dissemination of facts and inculcation of principles ; as it is by such teachings tliat our population will be prepared to use , wisely , the political power they are now seeking to obtain .
' We are , therefore , dedroos ef seeing these mean * applied to a higher and nobler pnrpose—that of developing the mental and moral energies of the population , to the great end of their political freedom and social happiness . As no earthly power can prevent an intelligent people from obtaining their lights , nor all the appliances of corruption permanently enslave thtm , we are anxious , above all things , of seeing them instructed is their political rights and social duties . ' Though the attainment of political power is essential
to enable them to improve , to any extent , their physical condition , yet we believe that a vast increase of social enjoyment might be effected , ( despite a corrupt and degraded government , ! if sobriety and moral culture were more generally diffused . And , therefore , we are desirous ef seeing our political teachers disseminating turpai&t&ble truths against dmnkennesi and inunorality of every description , and by precept and example , endeavouring to rescue our brethren from the thraldom of their own vices , and from servilely Imitating tbe corruption * and vices of those above them .
• Ai ttie children of to-day will , in a few rears , be called upon to exercise tbe right * and duties of men , it becomes our paramtunt duty to qualify them for tbeir future station , and not permit them to be moulded to the several purpose * of priestcraft , sectarianism , and charity-mengen ; but to devise , maintain , and execute a wise and jo * t syatem of education , calculated to develops all the power * and energies God h »» gives them , to the end that they may enjoy their own existence , and extend the greatest amount of happiness t *
all mankind . ¦ With no disposition to oppose the associations already formed , but with an anxious desire to see all those interested in tbe social and political improvement of their fellow-men united in one general body to it , we propose that such an association be established , asd that the following b # its objects : — NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF THE UNITED KINGDOM , For Promoting the Political and Social Improvement Of the People . 1 . To establish in one general body persons of all creeds , classes , and opinions , who are desmms to pro-

To create and extend an enlightened public opinion in favour of the People 1 * Charter , and by every just means secure its enactment , so that the indiutrioos classes may be placed in possession of the franchisethe most important step to all political and nodal reformation . 3- To appoint as many Missionaries as may be deemed necessary to visit the different districts of the kingdom , for tbe purpose of explaining the views of the association , for promoting its efficient organization , for lecturing on its different objects , and otherwise seeing that the intentions of \ he general body are carried into effect in tbe several localities , according to ths instructions they may receive from the general board .
4 . To establish Circulating Libraries from a hundred to two hundred volumes each , containing the inost useful works on politics , morals , tho sciences , history , and such instructive aud entertaining works as may be generally approved of . Such libraries to vary as touch as possible from each other , and be sent in rotation from one town or village in the district to another , aud to be lent freely to the members . . ' 5 . To print from time to time such . Tracts and Pamphlets as tiie association may consider necaMary for promoting ita objects ; and whan ita organisation ia complete , to publish a monthly or quarterly national periodical .
6 . To erect Public Halls , or Schools for the People , throughout the kingdom , upou the most approved principles , and in such districts as may be necessary . Such halls to be used during the day as Infant , Preparatory , and High Schools , in which the children shall be educated on the meat approved plans the association can devise ; embracing : physical , mental , moral , and political instruction : and used of an evening by adults for public lectures on physical , moral , and political science—for readings , discussions , musical
entertainments , dancing , and such other healthful and rational recreations as may serve to instruct and cheer tho industrious classes after their hours of toil , aad prevent the formation of vicious aud intoxicating habits . Such halls to have two commodious playgroumlsj and , where practica-bJo , a pleasure-garden attached to each ; apartments for tbe teachers , rooms for hot and colA baths , for a small museum , a laboratory and general workshop , where the members and their children may be taught experiments in science , as wtll as the first principles of the most useful trades .

If tbe numbers who signed the National Petition belonged to buch au association , by paying a less sum than even & penny per week each person , they would be able to effect the following important objects every year : — £ To erect eichty District Halls , or Noimal or

people should reject it ! And the crowning reason of all is , that the attempt to establish it wpuld necessarily fail , while it would as necessarily jeopardise the whole strength and vigour of the movement , by dividing our forces , and frittering away our strength . Lot the people stick to the National Charter Association of Great Britain--let them strengthen the present Executives-let * them get the new Executive elected—let the classes be regularly visited and the funds collected and placed at the disposal of their own accredited and ohosen officers : let a oneness of feeling and purpose be manifested by all , and t > ur success-is certain . Let us suffdr . ourselves to be thus split , and chopped , and divided , and our defeat is certain .

HOCHOAX . E . —Dr . M'Douall lectured here on Wednesday night , at the request of the Chartists , on the evil alliance of Church and State , and fcbe Old and Now Poor Laws , The lecture waa of the highest order—amusing , intelligent , and instructive , and waa listened to with delight . ' . '¦ . ' V . ¦ CONGIiETON . —On Saturday evening last , about six o ' clock , tbe Congleton Chartists proceeded to the junction of the Manchester and Maecles . fieid roads , a short distanoe from the town , to meet Dr . M'DoualL On his arrival , such shouts were raised as made the welkin ring . A procession was then formed as follows : Several members with staves—band—the Doctor in an open cab , accompanied by Messrs . Naseby , Swain , Linney , and Burgess—members followed with rosettes ,, Several splendid flags ware visible In the procession , gently waviDg } n the breeze . At aeien
o'clock , the precession entered the town ; ind proceeded through the principal streets , raising shou ts of acclamation in different parts ; the concowrse was immense . On tbeir arrival at the rdoui , which is situated near the Market-place , great numbers returned without gaining admission . Mr . Naseby introduced the Doctor . Mr . Burgess read an address congratulating the Doctor on his liberation from prison ,- and also on his appearanca among them . The Doctor then rose and expressed his most sincere thanks for so kind a reception . Ho then expatiated upon tho Suffrage , which he condemned as being too much contracted . Unity , he contended , was requiwto in all tbeir movements , and those victims who had been recently liberated , were prosecuting their plans with renewed vigour , and , B « cad no doubt but , eventually , by perseverance , the whole Charter would be obtained . He then sat down in theniidbt of applause .
Sundat Evening , seven o'clock . —The Doctor commenced by saying he bad read ths Bible , aud he would not state delusions , but facts . He found at the beginning of Genesis , that man originally was placed in Eden , but was driven out by God , cursed , and told he should eat his bread by the sweat of his brow ; but still was allowed the land to livo upon ; the woman was not cursed ; he then quoted from the Now Testament to the same effect But , under the present system , both she and her offspring were cursed , and doomed to slavery , both by the New Poor Law and others equally pernicious . He ( the Doctor ) had visited the houses of the poor , and found their means were scanty in the extreme ; he Lad also made inquiries into the circumstances of loyMty , and found them to be extravagant and highly injurious to the labourer . He said the Charter was the only means that would render to every
man his own ; it undoubtedly would produce a great and serious change , but the sufferings would affect comparatively few . Although a many divisions existed , minor differences , both in politics and religion , ought to be superseded by reason and common sense ; he only wanted tuern to be Chartists ; tbeir little differences were immaterial . The middle classes had proved the moat hostile to them ; they would not only rob them , but , their own friends , if they hud an opportunity . If the trades would unite the Charter would soon be obtained ; it was them who gained the Reform BUL He wished them to bo united , judge for themselves , and stand up for their equitable and just rights , and thtu be had no doubt but that , tit no distant period , the Charter would be gained . The meeting , which was very targe , separated in the best possible order . He lectured on Monday evening to a large audience , and was much applauded .
BARNSLEY . —A public meetiug was holden in the Odd Fellows' Hall , to petition and memorialise both Mouses of Parliament for the restoration of nil the imprisoned and exiled patriots . Mr . George Vbley was called to the chair . He called on Mr . Francis Mirfield to move the first resolution , who took a review of the proceedings which led to tha prosecution and subsequent imprisonment ot our brethren , aad vindicated the character of the victims from the foul aspersions that had been cost upon them . He stated that persecution could not change men's principles , as every victim , as he emerged from his dungeon , took tbe earliest opportunity of demonstrating , both i » his tyrant persecutors and his fellow workmen , that nothing could make them afraid of defending the
oppressed from the tyrant oppressors . He moved the first resolution : —" That we , the people of Barnsley , deem it to be our duty to petition the Commons House of Parliament , to move an address to the Queen , requesting her Majesty to cause the immediate liberation , from the various gaols of this country , of the whole of the individuals who have been imprisoned for what have been deemed political offences , nnd that as soon as possible , after the Honourable House has performed that duty , they will * introduce into their Honourable Honse a bill to make the People ' s Charter the law of the land . " Mi . Peter Hoey , "who "was received with the most enthusiastic demonstrations , which prevented him for several minutes from addressing the meeting , next addressed them . He spoke of his probation in prison , and adverted to the unholy junction between the Bswnaley Whigs and Tories , in swearing against him at York , and concluded amid tbe tame demonstrations with which he was
received when he commenced . Mr . David Pilmore pressed the adoption of the National Petition , which was seconded by Mr . Widdan , who spoke at great length ; after which Mr . Arran , the West-Biding Chartist missionary , came forward to support its adoption , and spoke for at least an hour , to the entire satisfaction of the meeting . The second resolution , u follows : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting , that ft is our duty to memorialise the House of Lords to move an humble address to the Queen , requesting her Majesty to grant the same measure of justice to John Frost , Zephaniah Williams , and William Jones , as bos been awarded to one lord Cardigan , " was proposed by Mr . William Bygate , and seconded by Mr . Joseph Wilkinson , each of whom addressed the meeting . The third resolution was proposed by Mr . James Noble , and seconded by Mr . T . Grofts . It was to this effect : — " That the petition be sent to the Political Prisoner ' s Release and Chartist Petition Convention . "
tub Barksl * : i' chartists met at tho house of Mr . Peter Hoey , on Monday evening , April the 5 th , Mr . John Armitage in the chair . The propriety of sending a delegate to the West-Riding Delegate Meeting , to take place April 18 th , was dlacnssed , and was ultimately postponed till next Monday night DERBT . —We have had Mr . Vincent in Derby , and the pretended sympathising factions have shown tbe cloven foot . We have been driven from three rooms w&ich ire Isad taken tor him to lecture in , on account of the interference of the factions in disguise . The last room we took we actually p&ld the money for it , and even then were not allowed the use of it The landlord , Mr . CantriU , Nag ' s Head Inn , St Peter ' * street , stated that he dare not let u » have the room
without the sanction of the mayor . We got his worship's verbal sanction , but could not obtain a-written one ; consequently , we were fluorod there also . The room we took previous to the Nag > He » d abovenamed , was arranged for so far that we posted the town with bills , and even then , the landlord , Mr . Glue , Talbot Inn , Iron Gate , stated that lie dare not let us have the room according to promise , therefore the expence of the bills and posting turned out to be of no avail . But we were determined not to be humbugged altogether . We borrowed a large band bell , and want round the town and cried—that on « cconnt ef the base conduct of the factions , in preventing the Chartists from holding their meeting , aa announced by bills
now posted , that Mr . Vincent weuld deliver * , lecture in the Market-place , » t seven o'clock that evening . We obtained aa open chaise , and attended the marketplace , according to announcement , and Mr . Joteph Turner via elected to take the chair . ' He mom to introduce Mr . Vincent to the meeting , when we were ordered to disperse . The-crowd shouted out , "to Chester Green , to Cheater Green . " There , we -went , and Mr . Vincent addressed the meeting in an able and energetic stylo . Chester Green It not within the precincti of the borough . At the close of the lecture , some young urchin tired a pistol ; luckily one of our members seized the young desperado , and gave him in custody of a policeman there present , or yery likely we should have been charged wfth » breach of tbe peace .
BRIGHTON . —A public meeting , at the Bed Cap , Portland-street , wai held in tola town , ¦ which wts called by placard , and waa very inunenmaly attended . Mr . F . Page waa ealled to the chair . Mr . Flowers rose to propose that Mr . William . Woodward be elected by this meeting as a delegate to the National Petition Convention ; he concluded a .- -very neat and appropriate speech , in which he spoke . < of tbe past conduct of that

gentleman , and assured him that h « possessed his entire confidence . Mr . Thomas Reed rosa next , and said be wisnpd . it to be understood * that he had not the slightest disrespect for , or distrust in , Mr . Woodward , but on tho contrary , he held a very high o ' pinion of that gentleman ; but still he ' bad a person in his eye whom he would much rather send to that Convention , on account of his age , long standing in our ranks , his zeal and integrity , aud therefore he begged leave to propose Mr . Flowers . After the tremendous cheering had subsided , which followed this proposition , Mr . Flowers rose and thanked them for their kindness , but at the same time the duties of that Convention were too much for a man of his years , ( upwards of seventy . ) Mr . Woodward was a young man , and could attend to
those duties much better than he could ; he therefore begged leave to decline , and thought they conld not do better than elect , that , gentleman , Mr . Woodward . Mr . John Page . next rose , and expressed his sincere regret that Mr . Flowers had declined , for although he had tbe highest opinion of Mr . Woodward , he thought that thoseywho had been persecuted the most and longest ) ns ^ hey knew . Mr . Flowers had , ought to have honours conferred on them , if they were about to be conferred ; betdeB ' , Mr . F . had given bo sound reason why lie could not act In that Convention . A person had that day told him ( Mr . P . ) that they had seen oar friend Mr . Flowers , working like a horse , for this week past , in obtaining signatures to the National Petition . He therefore thought his age could not be any excuse , and
he w « sure that the presence of tlat venerable gentleman would impart a grandeur to that assembly . Mr . Ellis begged leave to move that Mr . Allen be elected as a delegate to the National Petition Convention . Mr . AJIen declined ; . cis circumstances wouW not allow him to accept that office , indeed he ha * no desire to do so ; he had seen enough of it . He concluded a short speech by stating that he thought Mr . W . a very proper person ' to sit iu that Convention . Mr . Colling seconded the nomination of Mr , W . If Mr . Flowers and Mr . Allen bad stood , he should scarcely know to which to give the preference . He held the highest opinion of the wbole of these gentlemen , but still , if Mr . Fiowers bad been willing to have gone to that Convention , he certainly must gay , that he thought he should have liked that the best ; but as it waa , every guntloman would be satisfied with , and would elect Mr .
Woodward . Mr . FJowers again rose , and said his friend Mr . P . had talked ef honours . He ( Mr . F . ) looked upon them as bubbles that soon burst and were gone . He thanked his friend and tho rest nf the gentlemen present , for tbe high opinion , they always had , and Btill had of him . The only honour he wanted waa th « glorious Charter of our rights . He had lately had a journey to London , and ho was sure that that journey bad shortened his days ; he had felt his health impaired ever since , but still though he could not respond to their wish on this occasion , it always was , and ever would be , his desire to do his duty to his family and emancipate the working classes . He concluded by declining , and recommending Mr . Woodward .: Tb . 9 motion was unanimously adopted . Mr . Woodward thanked the meeting in an excellent speech , and promised to do all in bis power to forward his mission . Several new members wero enrolled .

commencement of the meeting , John Nussey , Esq ., the chaiaman , stated that he waa highly /( ratified to see and meet such an assembly on tho present occaEion , he thinking thoy had got tho working men of Bailey once more linked in the chain of ruin ; but , while lie was thua addressing them , Mr . Smith , a Chartist lecturer , from Bradford , rose and asked the chairman if they would accept a discussion upon the subject . The immediate answer was 'VNo . " They had not called a public meeting for that , but merely to get the sanction of that meeting to petition both Houses of Parliament , for a total repeal of the Corn Laws . Mr . Clayton , a Chartist lecturef from Hudderafiald , then stated that he would have a hearing on ihe subject . It was agreed by the
party assembled , that the anti-Corn Law lectuTer should have one hour to deliver his address , and then tho Chartists might have a hearing . The anti-Corn Law lecturer had delivered his address , without any interruption ; then ono of the Corn Law repealers wanted the motions putting to the meeting before the Chartists had said any tiling , either tor or against , what the anti-Corn Law lecturer had stated ; however , he was put down by Mr . Clayton , the Chartist lecturer , and part of the assembly . Mr . Clayton , then delivered an address in reply , showing the many evils which would be brought upon the labouring class if the Corn Laws were , repealed without othor accompanying measures . He waa asked some questions by the chairman , which he answered . Mr . Smith , the Chartist lecturer , from Bradford , delivered a short address . The motions ware then put , which had be 3 n moved and seconded at the commencement of the meeting . The first that

therefore , respectfully request the co-operation of all our brother Chartists , in the town aud district of Bradford , to carry out the glorious cause of total abstinence , and , consequently , secure the acquisition of the People ' s Charter .

' , which
was granted ; on which occasion , Wm . Dickson was called to the chair . The Doctor stated and defended the six points of the charter in an able , convmciug , and masterly manner , and then sat down , being uuiversaliy cheered ; and then the Irishman , Henry , got up and spoke like a sanctified Tory and unprincipled Whig for nearly forty minutes ; then the little Doctor conquered him in his short bat pointed reply ..

Tho meeting were determined not to be humbugged , so they elected their own Chairman ; but the " respectables" would not permittim to take the chair , and one of them , who used the most disgraceful language , was a preacher of tho Gospel , who insulted evury one who dared to thick or speak

STAPI * EFO * IX > , near NoxxiKGHAjf . —The black cloth gentry are doing their best to injure Chartism here .. The hand-bills which were posted at the recent visit of Mr . Bairstow were very kindly torn off by one of these sprigs of piety . An ignorant fellow called a preacher among the Primitive Methodists was deputed to the quarter-day a few weeks ago , at Nottingham , at which meeting our talented friend Mr , Dorman was to be "tried" for being a
Chartist ! 1 Thia ignorant fellow brought us Mr . Dor man's recantation in the following form : — O ' tm sutry o'ive preech'd the icviTi wurks on a Sun * day but oi won't no more / " Of course we have had the " ninedays ' wojider , " but Mr . Dorman wasnoi to be gagged in the cause of justice : and being appointed to preach in the Primitive Methodist Chapel , on Sunday last , and fearing the exposition of taeir base falsehoods , they suffered Mr . Dorman to come over from $ ? ottinghan , a distance of six miles , and . then locked the doors of the Chapel and would not sufier him to go in !

Submitting the above objects for your serious consideration , and resolving to make every possible effort to establish such an Association , we remain your devoted servants in the cauw oJ human liberty and social happiness .
We kutw not what the concoctors of this document will eay to our " breach of honour , " but , as the guardians of ihe people ' s cause , wo know no breach of honour equal to that of sacrificing it ourselvejb or allowing others to do so , without p ^ pest . We believe this secret movement to bo fraught with mischief , and we therefore htsitatenot to brave all the displeasure of its authors by exposing it . There is already a National Association in existence , embracing all the objects of the proposed scheme . This Association , if legally constituted and honestly conducted , supersedes the necessity for another ; if not , it is requisite that its illegality , or its corruption , or the incapability of the means it
proposes to attain tbe end sought , should be demonstrated , that the necessity for another aad more effective association may be shown . But the subscribers to this document , do not affect to find fault with the Association now in existence ; on the contrary , they say that they have " no disposition to oppose" it . This admission at once cuts the throat of the new movement ; for these parties must know that it is impossible to organise another "National . Association" without crippling the energies of that which is already in existence .
In fact , none know better than those at the head of this " new move , " that its effect , if successful , must be bo to divide the forces of the advocates of right as to neutralise and destroy the operation of their power . We have no such fear , however ; the people have too much sense to be diverted from their plain path , as we fancy that a good many of the replies receircd by Mr . Lovett , to his communication , most hare convinced him . Out of several of these replies , which have been sent to us , we give tbe following one , as a sample of tho people ' s keenness of discernment ;—
" Sib , —I am directed to inform you that the circular containing what may be termed , ' The Prospectus of the National Association of the United Kingdom / and which -vras directed to Mr . Joseph Hibbert , was by that gentleman hand « d over to the Association . It came very opportunely , si ire were holding a -Delegate Meeting when we received it , and after canvassing its content * very miautelj » nd strictly , we submitted it to a meeting ei the members ot tUe Association , who instructed me to inform you that they were extremely sorry to find that you , Sir , in whom the country placed so much confidence , should give your countenance and support to a scheme which is calculated to cause
division &ad distrust among the working classes . Your scheme is a second edition of Socialism ; our motto is , " The Charter and no Surrender . " Yon speak of our public meetings as arenas " of passionate invective , party spirit , and personal idolatry . " Our " pasionate invective" is the honest outbreak of a suffering and oppressed people ; our " p&rty spirit" is our determination not to be led astray by any who would divert us from our just and honest purposes ; and eur " personal idolatry" is our gratitude te oar stedfast and unflinching friends . We know who that rns intended tor ; but no -, ' principle u our idol—of which you have a proof in the fact that 70 a * nd others of tbe people ' s idols now cease to command their adoration . "
We have no fear for ( he bamboozling of such people ! they are wide awake ! They will therefore not need onr assistance—or we might find it somewhat easy to show np this attempt aa one which it capable of being made a flimsy cover for as palpable an effort to " gull the natives" as we have seen for some time . Let as not be misunderstood . We make no charge against the six gentlemen whose names are appended to the document . We know some of them to be men incapable of any thing dishonest or dishonourable ; and we know nothing to the contrary of any of them ; but we eay that the scheme is capable of being thus perverted ; and that , therefore , it is not one which the people ought to take any . steps for bringing into operation . We say further , th&t the concoctors themselves have addicted it to be unnecessary , and that that is another reason why the
