fO THE INDEPENDENT NON-ELECTORS OF THE EMPIRE . « 2 » v > ws the day , and noWg the hoar , See the front of battle lour , See approach proud Chartist power—Death to slaver ) . " Fcstiax Jackets , Blistirkd Hakds , axd Usshors Chess , —While the dealers in human fle « h are aeadisg forth their appeals to the corrupt and dependent Toters , I address 70 a as the physical , the moral « nd -raluaWe staff of British liberty .
TTitfi so much to say , how 01 where * haH I e&mjjiEUce ? I have it I will begin by remindine you got , for six years , I hare been telling yon that the existence of three poUtkal parties in a State is incompatible ^ jUi the en tten m of peace , order , sod prosperity in gut Stale , and that oar whole farce should be mustered , jMLTuhsIled . and directed to the one single purpose of , firstly , beating one of the parties and then the other . 1 have told you that in the pursuit of any great political object , lie national will most go through three distinct operations ; firstly , the creation of opinions to be acted spon ; secondly , the organization of those opinions ; ing ; thirdly , the direction of the united power of prudently-created , and thoroughly-organised opinions . We are now in the Utter stage ; and , if hitherto 1 bsTe been a mild apologist for many errors which we hare been compelled to commit in « ur imperfect and crude state , -while nndergwug the two first processes , j dow tell jon that all future failures must be charge able cpon us as crimes ; because vx art ru > u > the balance
qf povser . Ls ; me now see if , taking the last half century as a fair test of action , I shall be warranted in drawing from it good and sufficient reason for the oouxse I am about to recommend . For forty-one years of that period , the people , unfter the name of Reformers , Buffered death , igneminious and premature death , insult , torture , starvation , and degradation of eTery sort and Vrnr > for th « mere purpose of crowning their friends with the measure which tu to crown the wishes of a Tery moderate , a Tery iadastrious , and a very peaceable people . They foughtthey bled—they conquered .
Well , for nine years hare the Whigs been in possession of the measure—the very measure asked for by themselves ; and observe , » o well satisfied were they with it , and so complete did they think it , that their leader , after six years' trial , called it a final Heaswbs . Now , observe , Lord John Russell called it a final measnre , while the democratic Brougham said , in the third year , that they had gone too far and should retrace their steps . In 1 S 32 , the people joined their " natural protectors , " u the Whigs have been called ; and they , tie people , believing that the existence •! even two riTal parties In & State was incompatible with good government , placed their " natural protectors" in the Tery situation to which , for mora than forty years , they bad aspired . They armed them with their own weapons for the destruction of Toryism . Tans , the people bare given the Whigs nine years of a fair trial ; and who will Tentare upon their behalf , from their first act , the Irish
Coercion Bill , down to the dying grasp at the poor man ' s pocket for a quarter of a million , on Thursday last , to put a dessert upon the table of those who can now sit down to three courses , at the expense of those who must be satisfied with tie parings from the rich man's table ? On Thursday , the Whigs , without the confidence of the country or even of the gang , voted £ 250 , too to some English merchants , who weze cautioned ag&in&t Tentaring their goods upon the high seas pending a war . This was robbery . ' downright barefaced robbery ! Raform commenced in blood , progressed in war , desolation , tyranny , starration of the poor , weeping , Trailing , gnashing of teeth , and has now terminated in plunder . ' and well may the Noble Lord Paimerston exclaim " we will die game . '" Expiring in the act of plunder was a most characteristic death I 01 "Whiggery I 1 wish H . B . would Bketch a dying Whig Ministry with their hanflw in a poor band-loom wearer" 1 pocket !
Thug I show that the people nobly stood by the "WhigB ; and now , pray observe . The Tories , who c » uld not successfully resist Raform nine yesrs ago , could now , after so long a trial of it , actually repeal the measure to-morrtw ! To wh&i purpose then , have we aided Whiggery , if , at the end of nine years the power which it was to hare annihilated , has acquired strength sufficient to do in IS 41 , what it could not effect in tbe palmy days of rotten borough supremacy ? The Tories are stronger now than they were when hundreds carried their title deeds to their seats in their pockets .
Why an the Whigs now in their melancholy , mean , and prostrate condition , aad why are the Tories in their full plenitude of political power ? Simply , because the Whigs invited the Tories to join them in destroying their own measure of Reform , for the purpose of making merchandise of your labour . The House , as regarded the Whigs , was a House of Masters , and as regarded ike Tories was a House of Tyrants ; and the Tyrants have actually surfeited the Masters by the pliancy with which they hare seceded to their erery application for the legal TT »« n « of torturing and plundering t >»« working clawwg . I will not insult your understanding by recapitulating ihe sad catalogue of "Whig-reformed and refined cruelty and oppression ; " but I shall start with a finisher—if I may be allowed the expression . Let w then for a moment pass over every single act of iniquity , and judge them by their " new birth unto righteousness . "
Hear me , then , you starring millions . ' hear me . When the Whigs had plundered till they left nothing in a tangible shape to be plundered , they required a new yrt . n « c to prowl in quest of treasures yet unknown ; and , in the nineteenth century , the financiers of the { reat nation are compelled to play hide and seek , and a game at speculation , for the means of supporting their own tyranny . Well , what do they do ? Just listen : They , who in 1834 threwyoaupon your " own resources , " inl 841 have bowel * of compassion for you ; and Lord John Russell actually has the matchless audacity to speak of the sufferings of the Bolton operatives , whose squalid and wretched appearance in 1839 was made matter of deruion aad ridicule , by his northern supporters , the Jfou&ester Guardian and Leeds Mercury . Will they now turn to their columns and reprint what they said of the Bolton operatives on Kersal iloor ? Well , but we must not stray .
In the beginning of May , Lord John Russell proposes certain measures for the relief of the starving people , and he says , that they , the people , must be afforded tiiat aad opportunity to speak out upon the subject . Now that is all right and fair , and bespeaks a repentance for the past , and also gives us to understand that Unpeople are to decide . Well and good- But now mark ! upon the 25 th of the same month , and up to thai time , aboTe 2 , 009 , 990 of the same people petition for a very slight measure compared to the oce proposed by Lord John Russell ; and what is the result ? Why just this . There are sixty members in one scale , and sixty members in the other scale ; thus balanced , the 2 , 00 ft , coo are thrown into the scale of justice , and in pops the Speaker into the scale of oppression—and A * vxighs dozen the tchole / ore * 0 / popular viU ifcw procUiimcd !! !
Xow , I ask you , what respect has the House evinced for the people , when one man , who ought to be neuter , has more power than 2 , 000 , 000 ? Let me ieU you why I use this argument : J use it , firstly , to proxe that I was rigbt when I told you , OVe ? and ove * a ^ sia , th&i our -whole force could not effect any , the slightest , administrative change ; that we could not insure the discharge of s palace menial , nor of one policeman ; that w # eould not cut the tail of a single royal borae or dog ; in short , that for all , save the acquirement of a great organic change , our force is Wholly inoperative . I use it , firstly , with that view -, and , secondly , to -express my utter conten . pt , and the contempt of many brave comrades who honour me with their confidence , for those who profess ChartUm and go about aiding Whiggery , by catechising the very men as individuals , who , 23 a body , have committed all these atrocities .
Tois is the practice . The wretched , miserable , groping , groveling eavesdroppers of working men , go about to Ward meetings and election meetings , putting the following queries to ins very devils who havg been doing all the mischief . " Will you Tote for the restoration of Frost ?" " Will ycu vote for the liberation of the Chartist prisoDers ?" " WiU you present petitions for Universal Suffrage and support their prayer ?" B&n 1 Go te , you wretches ! ask them , if yon want Information , " Wtre you one of the five who did
veUfei the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones ?' " ire you noi one of the 658 wno did incarcerate the Chartists , and allow them to pine , like felons , in their dungeons ? " " Have you not declared you determination to resist Universal Suffrage to the death ?" Hj men , my fattains , hear my brief catechism . Are you a Whig ? Answer— " Tea . " Then go to the devil ! AreyouaTory ? Answer—• ' Yes . " "Well , you wait awhile till it suits my purpose to send ? oa af -ex the otherrascaJ .
Let that be your catechism . That ' s orthodox ; that ' s scriptural } V * **' 8 fi& * " ^ * ** Tfcry Parties who , for nine years , as a body , have done all the mischief , who now come before you trying to waddle , individually , out of the mud by spattering their neighbour * . They tell you that " the . Tories would not allow them to earry good measure * . " Ask them when their majority was two DuntreU what measures they carried ; and they mast answer , " coercion , starvation , and taxation , a rural po'ice and arm ' s bill , and Canadian slaughter ;" * hile they have left the poor little children white flavta jasi -where they found them , and have sunk the powtr-loom weavers in still deeper poverty !
Ah : if you want to get a lessen in practical politics , * Kw tba Tweed and show me one single victory that tb * brave Scoica luve allowed the enemy to gain . « ot one . Good &od . ' I love those fellows who defcottnee all tu ! k al-vut fighting , and yet would face ^ eath in any £ nape for the Charter .

Again : ' when the fools , or rogues , go about thus catechising the enemy , « ne would really suppose that Englishmen owed no higher sense of duty to themselves and their country , than Mm mere return of a parliament pledged , individually , to undo what , collectively , they have done . Mind that , common-sense Chartists . Those fellows who have for nine years done all the mischief asa body , now come before you in their individual capacity and actually hare the matchless effrontery to lay claim to yeur confidence , upon two grounds ; firstly , that they will undo eTerything that they have done , ( for that is - what we want , ) and , secondly , that the Tories , wouldn't allow them to give you good measures . Was there ever such puling nonsense ? '
My friends , let me just tell yon a short story . One day last week , a Mr . Yorke , a firm Whig , was addressing the people of York aa a candidate for their ' sweet voices ; " ard finding it necessary to say a word upon religion and politics , he commenced with religion , when a Teteran fustian cried out , " thou fooQ , ( fool , ) what has religion to do wi' it ?•• This made the pious side of his jaw cease to wag ; and he then turned to the Poor Law , and charged the Tories with having aided the Whigs in the support ot the measure , when a jolly tar roared out , " Thou b—g—r ! who launched it ?""
Again : as to my liberation , my friends , allow me to judge for myself . Very many newspapers have seized one passage in a long letter of mine , in which I protest against a compromise with the Tories for the purpose of insuring my release . Now from the number of papers that have picked this ( to them ) plum out of a long letter , it appears that the enemies , every one of them , read all my neglected addresses . It gi ves me great pleasure that I have never written one which they could turn to their own service . But as regards that passage ; what I said was , tfeat no COMPaoHiSE should be made with the Tories for the purpose of insuring my liberty ; and the Whigs , with characteristic ignoranoe , assume , or would make it appear , that I am consequently friendly to a junction with the Whigs ! The use made of this passage by the press , and the turn attempted to be given by Mr . McFarlane , at a meeting lately held at Glasgow , to my former declarations against the principles of Toryism , in favour of Whiggory , have induced me to mention the subject here .
The difference , then , is just this . I will not be a party to any compromise ; neither will I allow my liberty to be made a question of compromise ; because such a course would naturally degrade us in the eyes of Europe and in our own estimation . But , though I object to be a party to a compromise with either faction , yet am I willing to lose my liberty for the purpose of creating a proper understanding of my own party , to join among themselves without compromise ; to use the Tories for the purpose of beating the Whigs . Every blistered hand held up for a Whig is a nail in the coffin of liberty . ' every fuBtian jacket that votes for a Whig , is a willing slave and bondsman , and should work In irons in & slave-gang for the . remainder of his existence ' . Every unshorn chin that does not wag in defiance and denunciation of smooth-faced Whiggery , is a hairy-faced enemy to its country ! Let me place before you the system now pursued , and of which I complain .
A set of rascally Whigs declare themselves to be Chartists , and in their assumed character , they throw themselves accidentally-on-purpose , in the way of Whig prowlers in quest of prey ; when the catechiats , with an apparent surliness of aspect and desire to confound , proceed as follows . — " Mr . Stick-in-the-Mud , if elected , will you vote for the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones ?" Answer— " Thatu a subject upon which I have not made up my mind , and is entirely a question of detail . " ( Hear , bear . ) " Will you present a petition npon the snbject , if required by your constituents to do so ?" Answer— " Most certainly , I shall consider it my duty to do so . " ( Hear , hear , and cheera . ) " Will yon vote for the liberation of all political prisoners ?"
Answer—" Why , I think that a wide distinction exists between those whose crimes amounted to open violence , and those who were merely the dupes of others— ( bear , hear;—and I should certainly vot 8 for the liberation of the latter class . " ( Cheera . ) " Will you v » te for Universal Suffrage ?" Answer— " I do not know what tke term means . I would vote for extending the right of voting to all those who from character , edofction , and stake in the country , could be safely entrusted"Srith the franchise . " ( Disapprobation . ) " Would you present a petition upon the subject , and support its prayer ?" Answer— " I would undoubtedly present the petition , bat I must be allowed to exercise my own judgment as to supporting the prayer . " ( Cheers , and " Right" ) " Will you vote for a repeal of the New Poor Law Amendment Act f "
" Why—why—why—why—that is a subject upon which the best informed appear to differ most -widely ; but I certainly would vote for any modification in its details where the working pressed unequally upon the destitute poor . ( Loud cheers . ) I have always thought that the measure might , with great safety , have been divided into 'two branches or heads ; the one for tlie willing , and the other for the unwilling idler ;—( long continued cheering )—and to this branch of the subject I shall devote my best attention , and shall at all times be most happy to confer with my constituents upon the subject . " ( Cheers . )
Now , suppose this examination to have taken place at Leeds . or at the Isle of Wight , where Gisborne , a notorious hack , has been catechiBed by Whigs in the character of Chartists . Let us suppose Leeds . At the clese up starts poor little Smiles , [ to whom I gave the professional name of Doctor , and which" , by Jove , he has kept ever since : ] up starts this liberal member of the Fex and Goose Club , and congratulates the people of Leeds npon the earnest of liberality given in the foregoing answers ! Now , poor little Smiles knowa jus as much about politics as be does about physic , and that's nothing at all ; but he imagines that the sufferers from Whig treachery are all as ignorant as himself ; and therefore he , tor one , adopts in Jane , as nearly perfection , what , in Jannary , he denounced as worse than heretical , a Tory-Whiz , or rather a Whig-Tory .
Then comes Marshall , in whose mill scores of murders , cold-blooded murders , have been committed ! a man wiosa . ererj shilling has been coined out of the heart ' s blo « d of prematurely slaughtered infants ; up gets this graceless monster , in the presence of the p * rent * of those little ones who are either no more , or living monuments of his lust ; and after congratulating the meeting , he moves that Mr . Aldam ' s answers are quite satisfactory ; and the travelled tourist , Hamer Stansfeld , who " loves his neighbour aa himself , " seconds the proposition ; and thus the opinions of this digpe go abroad as the opinions of the men of Leeds- ; . whereas , if the men of Leeds had pride or spirit , they would kick every one of the blood-suckers who dared to mock their porertj by appealing for their support , from their presence .
Now , as Joe Hume is a unique specimen of Whig end Liberal , let us subject him to examination : — " Did you support the Poor Law Amendment Act ?" " Yes ; I supported the Bill , as preposed by the Whigs , for the benefit of the indusiriens class-8 , but not the workings of the measure as carried on by the Taurin . " ( Hear , hear , and loud cheers . ) " Have you not supported the Whigs in all their struggles for confidence , while you profes 3 yourself opposed to their entire policy . ' " " . Yes ; because I knew that if the Tauri&s caxne in , tiiat they would commence a reign of terror , and especially in Ireland . " ( Hear , near . )
*• Did you not , on Thursday , the 10 th of June , vote £ 2 » o , OD 0 of English money to pay what is called the claims cf some English merchants tracing with Denmark , and who had such notice of theriak they ran , ( the underwriters refusing to insure their cargoes , ) that they were mere smugglers ? " Did you not do this at a time wben six in every ten of the operatives of England were actually starving , and when that amount would have given £ 2 10 s . to one hundred tbous \ ud heads of families , which , at the rate of Sve to a family , would have partially relieved half a miliion of destitute hand-loom weavers ?"
Answer— " I did ; but the honour of England , and the -faith of Parliament was pledged—( loud and long continued cheers )—and two other classes of claimants had' their demands previously discharged by a vote of the House , and by the TaurUs;—( vehement ch « TiDg )—and is there an Englishman with a drop of English blood in his veins , who would rob the honest speculator of the jurt reward of his enterprise V—( Renewed cheers . ) Now , I put it to the good tense ot working men , whether or not they must not naturally expect U . remain for ever a laughing-stock or bye-word uf reproacL and emblem of scorn , so long as their enemies have nothin , to do but to insult them , plunder them , shoot them , hang them , entomb them for nine years , as a party , and then , as individuals , receive their forgiveness when they ask fer a new lease of the period to be tyrants ? Once let the working men renew their lease of Whiggery for seven years longer , and farewell Charter without bloodshed . '
Hume was too liberal tor the second stage ot reform , and ^ consequently . hehad to go to Ireland ; butnowHume has softened down to electoral heat , and he comes as the new champion of retrogression . Perhaps , it is sot generally known that for many years Home was an ultra-Tory , more violent than either Peel or Stanley , and now he fights bis old associate * with "all the fervency of a renegade . " This conversion we might pardon , if he had not beea one of the most reckless supporters of Whiggery , and one of the most constant and determined upholders of the Starvation Act in aU its hideousness .
Now , brother Chartists , bear me for my cause : for nine years have we been persecuted by the Whigs ; and with their hands reeking with the bleod of those whom they have starved , they appear as supplicants for a renewal of power . For four years you have panted for the very crisis which bas now arrived . The eyes , of the Republicans of Prance are now upon you ; the eyes of infant'Spain , gorged with her long meal of blood , are upon you ; the eyes of Ireland are upon you ; aou by your performance you will assuredly be judged Some humbugs , I understand , say that the Whigs only transported Frost in 1840 , while the Tories hung Euimettin 1 S » 3 . Was there ever such nonsense ? . Are

we to make no account of thirty-seven years of improvement , and nine of these of reform ? And are we to make no distinction between a riot in open day , and the admission of the murdered patriot , Bmmett , that he had contemplated an entire change of Government ? Are we to lose sight of the fact that the gallows were made , and the hangman paid , to butcher Frost ; and that even after a decision of all the talent on the Benchinhhfavour ! The Whigs would havesl * n ; ht « red not only him , but also Williams and Jones , bnt for a few hints about the tohch and dagger men ; and it was only In the eleventh hour that they gave way , in fact , to what six able judges proclaimed an acquittal .
For fifty years the old have been struggling ; for nine the young have been sighing ; aad new hold out but one meuth , and , as sure as God rules over us , the day is our own ! Bear in mind that until we annihilate the Whigs , ss a party , they will never join us in annihilating Toryism . We have tried them . In fact , call any ruling party what you please , under the present system , they must rule upon Tory principles . As the Whigs will not then join to beat the Tories , let us , use the Tories to beat the Whigs ; and that done , let us tors to with the Whigs behind , instead of before us , and beat the national enemy .
Mr . M'Farlane has very truly said that I called the Whigs devils , and the Tories devils in helL Well , does any man who arns his bread by the sweat of his brow doubt * my hatred of the devils in hell ? If any such there be , let them also suppose me a monster , a brute , a savage , inasmuch , as 1 have accounts to settle with the Tories that no other man alive has to settle with that party . I believe even the Whigs will admit that I haTe had one man ' s share in bringing them to tbe scratch ; and now attend to me . No mortal nwa has ever begged , drudged , worked , and toiled in any struggle as I have in the national struggle , against the enemy iximeiiately in power and in front ; and yet have I done comparatively nothing . Yon most defer
judgment upon one man ' s performance , perseverance , and zaal , until you Bee me at work with the Tories in front I tell you now , and have ever tola you , tkat I hate the Tories even more than the Whigs ; and I tell you more , that if the power were Tested in my hands to-morrow of bestowing the Government of this country for twenty years upon Lorda John Russell , Normanby , and Palmerston , or upon Wellington , Peel , and Stanley , I would not hesitate for one single instant . I would , without a moment ' s delay , if I had but the alternative , confer the power upon the men who sent me here . But , if I fead the power to give one year s lease , I would give it to Wellington , Peel , and Stanley , for the purpose of annihilating them for all time te comet
Comrades ! heaT me ; Ohear me . Think of the last moans of the murdered Clayton!—think of the devotion of the slaughtered patriot Shell !—think « f the groans of our brother weltering in his blood in the streets of Monmouth , when no hand would stretch the dying Chartist a drop of water ! think of the expatriated Fr * at , Williams , and Joneis ! think of the entombed Holberry , Peddie , Carrier , Ashton , Crabtree , O'Brien , and O'Connor ! think of the many broken hesrU pining in the cold hostile , and looking to yon , as their trustees , for release . ' think
of the veteran Wheeler , who has fought for fifty years in the good fight , now lingering betwixt life and death ! think of the pallid face of the prematurely aged , and of the twisted limb of the factory infant ! think that you cannot stir without beholding a spy , paid by yourselves , to goad you into resistance , and then to torture you if you do resist J think that the whole course of nature , both at home and abroad , has been opposed by the very devils who would now call you angels , till they had once more used you to your own destruction think of these things , and give power to the monsters again if you dare !!
Why does not Sheffield , that has suffered more than any town in England , take that position which , from its importance , it ought to take ? Why stand dilly dally , shilly shally , with the knowledge-monger and scnllion-man-of-all-work to the Whigs , George Henry Ward ? Ah ! fie ! shame upon you , to listen to the hypocrite 1 Fustian jackets , stand up for yourselves and scout him and Parker , and the Russian Urqohart— all , all , one and all—from your presence ! I have now only to add my request , that some plain blunt man , who has worked all day in fustian , will , in each town , read my whole letter to the noble fustian Chartists , and I ask them to decide foe themselves ; and when they decide , to put a stop to all humbug of cross-questioning a lot of devils who would swear the moon was made of green cheese to get one vote . Remember , my friends , they are now in the retail market trying to pick you up in ones so as to sell you wholesale .
In a little mere than four months I shall meet you in a full suit ef fustian at my prison gates . I hope to mtet the petition carriers in fustian upon that day . Let us then , in one dress , and in one mind , be able to embrace , and return thanks to God that Chartism has survived that first campaign , and is now ready to t&ka the field to conclude the battle ! G « t a House of Whigs , and never again will you see the benign countenance of our beloved Frost ; get a House of Tories , and THEN indeed speak to tbe Whigs , when they are at the same side of the hedge with you , about the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones , and their restoration to offics being one and fhe same question . Get a House of Tories ; and if Frost , Williams , and Jones are not back , or on their way , in twelve months , 1 will suffer my right hand to be cut off .
Comrades , you once spoke of a sacred month ; let this be our sacred month for work . Be true to one another for one month , and the Charter is the law of the land . Comrades , in our weakness we defied the oppressor ; shall we court him in our strength ? That my days are numbered by faction no man doubts ; but show how one willing victim can wipe the brand cf slavery from the brow of free born man—and welcome torture . ' Yes , I ghall be sacrificed before tyranny will yield to justice , but yet wfll I not abate one jot of my demand , nay not a jot ' s point even to tbe addition of one day to the age of the voter . It would be more prudent and expedient for me to begin now to woo the raging power ; it is another fine opportunity for commencing a retreat ; bat , J pass it by as the rest , and repeat , ¦ ' no surrender ; death or liberty . "
Men of Sheffield , and men of all places , yuu have told me that you will stick to me like wax and follow whithersoever I lead . I ask no such devotion . I merely ask you to follow principle , and stick to the holy Charter . Now , comrades , I thus sum up ; for forty-one years the Whigs used you for obtaining political power ; for nine years they have Lad that power ; and contiast EDgland , during that period , with any other nine years of btr history , and s « y has not the ; ower been most blasting ! They have insulted you , betrayed you , despised and loathed you ! They have courted your
euemieB , and divided with them the honour of oppression . ' For nine years yoa have had no opposition to their lust and will . A Tory minority never will oppose tyranny ; a Whig minority must do so to acquire popular support , as the means of plundering . Therefore , if you get a House of Tories , you get a good working Whig Chartist opposition . If you get a House of Whigs you get a Tory minority so strong that the Whigs will justify another reign of tyranny by their weakness ami Tory strength . What is this but a base admission that they will clitg to office , and be forced to do mischief rather than abandon it and prevent others from doing
Now hear niy advice ; leave aU your unmanly , childish , and nonsensical pledges about tbe Poor Law , and release of us poor devils , ( who would rather rot in prison than gain our liberty at the expenco of our parties' honour and their cause . ) The Tories have no notion a&y more tLan the Whigs of repealing the Poor Law Amendment Bill . Put no question , ask no pledges , hold no intercourse ; keep your numerical strength apart from theirs , and after work on each day , p&rarte your physical power through the street with your working mea candidates for your hands ( mind , only for ' your hands , this time ) at your head . Return your men by a show , of those hands , and then all who Rave votes , vote buldly against the devils , by voting for the devils in hell i By that means you will , in iess than six , aje , leas than taree niontks , see as pretty a piece of fun between the ilral factions , ia the St . Stephen ' s cockpit , as ever was witnos .-eil at bull bait or dog fight I
Just get the Whigs once off the perch , the golden perch , ' and little Jack and the Big Beggerraan will froth at the month like mad" blood-hounds , and we sh ^ . 11 be taunted 'with our ii * otler <» tion . 1 conclude , in the brief but eloquent language of ihe General to his troops upan tlie tve of tmUle : — '' Comrades , there"s the enemy ; it you d < 3 U"t kill them by G—d they'll kill you .

THE " LEAGUERS" AND THE TRADES . The ladies' shoemakers of Manchester having received an iuviution to send a deputation of their body to tbe anti-Corn Law League , accompanied by a large bundle of tracts for their enlightenment , the trade held a meeting to consider it , and then returned tbe spoiled rags in a lump , together with tbe following letter : — Gektlemkn , —Having received a circular , purportiog to emanate from tbe Corn Law League , i nviting us to send a deputation , in conjunction wilh other trades , to confer with a deputation from the said body , and considering , as we do , that the object of the meeting is to enlist the Trades' Unions in the agitation for a repeal uf the Corn Laws , we , the Society of Ladies ' ftburmakers , beg leave to state that we decline engaging in any Hgication which does not guarantee to the mechanic ard artisan that protection for his labour * , _ ieh nis usefulness in society so justly demands .

From 1782 until 1815 , during which period there were no Com Laws , and when we bad a supremacy of commerce over the whole world , and that onr trade bad increased ( as shewn by the consumption of cotton ) from thirty million * ot pounds weight , to ninety-two millions pounds weight , or
three-fold . During the self same period , wages in the weaving department bad been reduced from thirty-three shillings and threepence per cut , twenty yards in length , to 14 s . per cut , twenty-four yards in lenftb , same fabric of work ; and from 1815 until 1832 it had increased from 92 , o # 0 , 0 » 0 Ib . to 256 , 0 « 0 , 00 » lb ., or nearly threefold , while in the same period wages bad been reduced two shillings oat of three ; and frotm 1832 until 1840 it hadincrea » edfrom 256 , 0 » 0 , t 00 lbtonearly 5 « 0 , 00 « , 0001 b , or doable , yet even during these eight years the reduction in the power-loom weaving department alone would be sufficient to purchase bread for all the weavers in Manchester .
But further , i / a repeal of tbe Corn Laws increase trade and wages , bow , in the name of common sense , will the manufacturer be enabled , under the disadvantage of high wages , to cempete with the foreigner , when at the low scale of wages paid at present they complain of the evils of foreign competition ? With respect to tbe idea that the foreigner would cease manufacturing and resume agriculture is absurd , inasmuch as tbe former is the most profitable speculation . We beg to be distinctly understood that we do not wish to uphold tbe infernal tax , but we certainly do think that the proposal of ( be league , smacks too much of political dishonesty to be entertained by working men , being convinced that their design is to reduce the wages of the highly-taxed operative of this country , to the same rate as tbe low-taxed operative of the continent .
We now ask where ia the guarantee for the protection of labour ? an echo answers , Where ? Let us remind yoa that the same parties who now raise the cry of cheap bread and high wages are the parties who transported oar brethren of Dorchester and Glasgow ; and who endeavoured , by every means , legal and Illegal , to bring the charge of conspiracy , intimidation , incendiarism , and even murder , home to the door of Trades' Unions , for tbe crime of uniting to protect our labour—a protection which ought to fee guaranteed to us by the Legislature of the country . With these facts before us , we decline agitating for any thing less than full and effective justice to all , based upon the immutable principle of a pure sud unsullied democracy .

o'brien . Brother Chabtists and Fellow Countryhen , —We , in common with you , feel the degradation of being slaves ; we feel , amidst the abundance raised by our own hands tbe pains of grinding poverty , we suffer the pains of disappointed hopes , and grieve for the generous friends who are suffering persecution , because they sought to rescue their country from ruin and their brethren from oppression and living death . But we are still full of hope , still determined ; our cause is sacred , and rendered more so by the virtue of those who have suffered in its behalf , and we are still resolved , and that quickly , to emancipate ourselves and
our children from slavery , and to be no longer oppressed by a vile and useless aristocracy ; but to this end something must be done to serve as a rallying point , and to gather all into a mighty and irresistible band of patriots . With this view we again beg to call the attention of our countrymen to Brontorre O'Brien ; it will give us sincere pleasure to see the country rousing to a sense ot doty towards this genuine patriot ; oar coufltry would be eternally disgraced if , even amidst the multifarious calls that are now made upon its resourses , such a man as O'Brien should be permitted , unhelped and unheeded , to be a victim to the ire which his virtues bad provoked .
Brother Chartists , if you wish for that freedom for which O'Bri 9 n has fallen stiuggliag , answer , and let the tyrant factions see you are able to work out your own political salvation . If you expect other men to risk their personal and domestic happiness in working out your deliverance , arouse , and lend us your aid . If you would expect other leaders to emerge from obscurity and lead you on in your agitation for the Charter , or if you hope that your tried friend , now suffering the bitterness of political persecution , will again take you by the hand when his term of suffering has expired , do what you can to lend us your aid in placing him in a position which will enable him to commence his crusade with redoubled vigour against tyranny , oppression , and misrule ; individually , it may not be much , but
combined in your masses , tbe assurance of being supported by your moral influence will sweeten the bitter fate he has endured in your cause ; and the slight pecuniary aid which narrow circumstances may allow you to make will enable him to assail , with eertain success , the strong holds of corruption , and , finally , to be instrumental , in conjunction with our brave and beloved O'Connor , ia leading us to honour and victory . We rejeice te Bee the ' same holy zeal which influenced tbe Barons in demanding the Magna Cbarta , sword in hand , which impelled the sons of liberty to estort the petition of rights from Charles the first , and to dethrone him as a traitor to his country , which urged Englishmen to obtain tbe Bill of Rights from William and Mary ; that holy ziaX still lives in some of their posterity , and still points for tbe adaiiration of the
age , to men who are determined to live and die unflinching patriots . We certainly conclude , from the knowledge which tbe people possess of Mr . O Brien , and from the effects proiiuced by his mental labour , that a lengthened appeal to the Chartists on bis behalf is altogether unnecessary ; we need only propound our objects to our brethren , to ensure their adoption . We state , then , that we are anxious to show the enemies of our weal that we forget not , our friends , and we are desirous of showing our suffering friends , that we not only know our duty to them , but that we are reaolved to perform it ; therefore , we call upon our fellow men to aid us in raising the funds sufficient to enable our now incarcerated advocate to commence his fire upon tbe enemy , immediately after
his liberation ; our object is to furnish him , as a national tribute , with press , types , and other materials , that he may not only preserve himself and family from the jawa of starvation , but that he may promote the general good of the community , by being enabled to give a full , free , and uncontrolled expression to bis opinions ; such men ought not to be silenced by the power of despots , nor by the weight of poverty , —thoy must not ; therefore be up and doing ; let us vie vriih each other in the accomplishing this necessary and important object ; lose no time ; and what we do , let us do well , and quickly . We need odd no more , being conscious tke nation will respond to the ca . ll John Oqden , Seoretary . Committt e Room , Leeds , June 14 th , 1841 .

Davids supported the measure , and denied that it would alter the Christian character of the institutions of tbe country . Tbe Bishop of London opposed the bill , contending there was no analogy between the admission of
Christian Dissenters to tbe councils of the nation and the admission of Jews to the same privileges . He believed thnt a very few Jews only were interested in the measure , and that tbe mass of the people cared nothing about it After a few words from Lord Galloway . The Marquis of Bute replied , and said he considered it his duty as a Christian to vote for the bill . Their Lordships then divided , and the numbers were —For the third reading , 64 ; against it , 98 ; majority , 34 . The bill was consequently lost .
