HUMAN LIFE . DROBABLY no theory can come more welcome X to the human mind than the one which establishes , on good grounds , a hope for prolonged existence ; for , notvfith * t , auding the trials , vexations , and difficulties incident to this life , the love of life increases with our years ; it ia one of the innate principles of our nature , and cannot be explained away by any of the subtleties of the sophist , r . or overcom « by any amused dignity derived from a false philosophy . There are many of these inextinguishable principles in our nature—onr love of freedomlove of country—love of home , and many others , bat the lore of life predominates . At present , the popular opinion is , that the natural duration of human life is seventy years , but thi 3 is contrary to both sacred and profane history . This opinion is , uo doubt , founded on a misunderstanding oi a passage of the 90 th Psalm , where it ia indeed stated , * . ' That the days cur years are three score years and ten , and if by reason of strength they be four score years , yet is their strength labour and sorrow . " Now , it must be remembered , that this Ps = a ! m is ascribed to Moses , and ibat he is not speaking of the lives of men in general , but of what was occurring among the Israelites in the wilderness . His own life , as well as the lives . of the more eminent of his' brethren , wa 9 fax more extended than even four score year 3 ; and , as he complains of the people being cut off , through the displeasure of God , it is reasonable to conclude , that he is n « alluding to the period during which men were capable of living , but simply to the fact , that , owing to the judgments of the Almighty , which befel the Israelites on account of their sins , but few of them attained a more lengthened existence than that of seventy or eighty years . " For we are consumed , " he says , " by thine anger , aud by thy wrath are we troubled . " Ttiey died not a natural death , but were cut off for their sin and unbelief , by judicial dispensations . The clever Dr . Farre maintain ? , that 129 is the last grant of God to man , and quotes the sixth chapter of Genesis , and the third verse , where it is written , ' My spirit sV > a \ l not always strive with mm , for that he also is flesh ; yet his days shall bean HUNDRED AND TWENTT YEARS . " Now , WC find this expressed intention on the part of God gradually carried into effect—the principle of vitality appearing to become weaker until the close of the era in which the postdiluvian patriarchs flourished ; when , although several centuries had elapsed since the deluge , we find that 120 years was about the average of human existence . Supposing , thcD , that the theory of long life is well sustained , the question naturally snsgpsts-how are we to attain what is so desirable f A wise general , on the eve of battle , makes a proper disposition of his forces beforehand , and does not wait till the enemy has made an attack , and thus , by forethought and duo preparation , reasonably expects a victorv ;—thus , he who has a desire to attain a healthy , " and consequently , happy old age , does not indolently wait for the attack « f the enemy , which is sickness , but is constantly on his guard against his insidious approaches , by paying proper attention to the state of his health . Many would fain occasionally use medicine to assist nature in her operations ; " but like a mariner at sea without his compass , knowing not where to steer , they first try this , and then that , and meet with nothing but disappointment ; to these , how welcome must be the important fact , that Parr ' s Medicine is all that is required ; the fine tonic properties it contains invariably restore the stomach to a healthy longing for food , or , in other words , it produces a good appetite , so mucn envied , but so seldom enjoyed , by the invalid ; tne gently stimulating power it possesses , assist * m stomach to properly digest the food it receives i 1 " balsamic powers it begtows on the system , P"" ™* that delightful fesling of good spirits , so verv aearablo . and dispose both mind and body to ae ^ m exercise V everything under its influence soon weaw a joyous aspect , and the varied duties of We Er formed with pleasure .

It is oar firm conviction ttra : tht-re coaici n ' .-t have been less than ; he latter calculation . A mesiage was sent to the couimiuee to inform thca that the people hai a . ssembitd numerously , and that u was time to commence : business . Accordinglj , Mr . Bairstow , accompanied by two others , repaired to the meeting . Mr . Joseph Carter was called to the chair ] wh » observed that there was their old and well-tried friend Muchell , present , who would first acidress
th- 'tn ; after which Mr . Nathan Bairst-jw , the ever ready and faithful advocate of ; he rights of the hitherto enslaved miliions , would adc-e . s them . ( Lo-id cheers . ) He wuuld , therefore , not take up &ay of their time by any remarks of his own ; but would a ; once introduce to their notice the n :. fl . mcl . ing advocate of the People ' s Charier , J-mes Mitchell , late member of the College , at Cjicster . Mr . Mitchell jsse and W 3 S greyed with long , wtid , and enthusiastic cheering , clapping of hands , &c . H < j said a time had arrived ' when it brhoved the working men of Siockport , to shew to the factions ihat they were something in the scale of S-jciety . ( Cneera . ) A time had arrived when it brhoved them , as working men , to let the conntry
H-uC-Trtand that they were cot that degraded race of beings which the enemies of the people and an hireling press had represented them to be . ( Cheers . ) Taere had been a ume when the working people —the despised Chartists were scorned and scoffed at . They were not : hen called upon to exercise their influence , in favour of a faction , but they were then called upon to u ? e their iciiaence oa behalf of a candidate who would , if reurned , vote for tbeir political enfranchisement ( Cheers . ) la walking out that day he had mes with another gentleman , who was likewise a candidate iot the B > rongb , s ; an Inn , rign of the Bishop Blaize . He cacghs him by the arm , and asked " mm whether he would have a word or two ¦
¦ vntn M : vcheil . He ( the gentleman ) tarred roand and looked at him , and asked him iMiier . ell ) "whether ^ he was an elector or not . Mr . Mitchell Teplied by saying he waa not . Mr . Ck » ppock was by at the time , who also told him that he ( Siitcbell ) W&- ; not a Toter . The candidate then said thai his bailies ? was with the electors , and not with hima non-elector . ( Here a many voices cried out ** name . " Mr . Mitchtll said ii was the humane Stephenson ' s-sqnarechairm an , Mr . Cobden . ( Groans . ) The speaker went on to say that if a person could afford to rent a £ 10 house , he was not worthy of Mr . Cobden ' s notice , unless it was , by the bye , to wiEBe > =, as he ( Cobden ) did , one party of working men Cr-airing the heals of another partv . ( Hear !
hear , aear . ) It had been stated by " the Whig party that the- Chartists were in the pay of the Tories , and that they were endeavouring as f / r as lay ha their pjwer to assist the Tories . Now , in answer to that , he ( Mitchell ) would ask when it was that he , as an inhabitant of that borough , took sides with the Tories ! They all well knew that , previous to his arrest , he was employed bv Maior Marsland : " ot five years , and while he ' was under his employ , he opposed him a : the first election , and . consequently , ran the risk of losing hi . a sitnaiioa ' He would not praise the Major as a Tory , for hi ¦ detested both ; bnt , to giva ihe d 1 J 113 cue , he was a good mister . . At another time , when he wa ; working for Mr . Tncmas S : eele , that gentleman
called his hands together , and told them he considered the Major a fit and proper person to represent the people of Stockport ; he ( Steeie ) would support him himself , and requested that all the ^ hands would accompany him to the hustings : a : this his blood boiied within hitn , and he told him he would do eo snch thing . Then , again , when Mr-. Daveuport put up &a candidate for the borough of : Stoekport , he was the favoarit » am&cg the people ; i he , however , instead of supporting the Major , Bpoke ' at every meeting where he had a chance , in favour of ' Lloyd ajid Davenport . Mr . Mitchell then went on i to say that if he hod the least inclination to take ' side with the Tories , it would have been when he "was in a good situation under the Mayor , and not when he had aothinx «> lose . ( Caeers . ) He | would support neither Whigs nor Tones but rapport
a candidate who came nearer his own principles , and one who has offered himself and who t-hey . would haTe a chance of hearing shortly , and th * t ^ entlej nan w » 3 31 r . Baiffsww . ( CieOTB . ) Mr . Mitchell I wien deutranced Mr .

( Hear . ) A man who conid unblushingly Btand by and witness the blood of his fellow creatures being epilt without taking the least steps ' to prevent it , but on the contrary , kia ' , 'h and I rejoice at it , was not the man for him .

After giving priest Thome credit for his candour . it Stephensciii-sqjfere , and iouohinsf on many i other topics , ha concluded by exhorting the I electors and non-electors to use their influence on behalf of Mr . Bairstow , as a candidate who would , ' , if returned , go' fu-ther than any other candidate i then in the field soliciting their suffrages , and sat : down amid the plaudit 3 of the vast assembly . The ! chairman then rose and said , that he had the plea-¦ ¦ sure to introduce that eloquent advocate of the ' people ' s rights , Mr . Bairou > w . ( Loud cheering . ) Mr . Bairstow then rose , and said he came
before them that evening for the purpose of explaining to them his political principles , and to answer | any questions beaming upon his political life and Gpiuion 3 which might be asked by the parties pre-; sen :, and likewise to explain the reasons why he j had consented to offer himself as a candida ' . o for f the representation of that borough in Parliament . Xo doubt the idea of a Chartist coming forward and i contesting the election of so important a borough as I that of Stockport , might cause many an antiquated Tory to iau ^ h , and many an hollow hearted Whig-1 ling to curl the lip of contempt ; he could allow the grimacing h ; fflias to laugh and sneer at his expanse , i as that seemed io be their only original propensity .
i They knew , from painful experiment , that the : Whigs would cot hesitate a » the perpetration of any I crime , however dark , nor any deeds , however | atrocious , to effect thrir own sinister and mercenary I objects . ( Cheers . ) Without being in the least j aiiei-ted by the sup . rcilkms , grovelling conduct of j the Whii . s , Le would proceed iu t :: e task he had undertaken , cut ling away riiiht and left , so icng as the nsti-. 'n was ' . ur ^ ed with such a cowardly , imbeci ! e , snd cruel faction . ( Cheers . ) Although he had consented to offer himself a » that important crisis , he wUhed it to be distiuctly understood that he hsd cot the slit-htest conception , at the coming election , of'gaining a msjurity of volts . The Whig rag , the Stockport Chronicle , h ^ d denominated the Chartists of Siockuor ; a iatre nominal party ; but they were goint' to provo whether it was so or not . It had
been ? aid they were weak and powerless , but tht-y , would test the truth for once , aad they ( die Char-; tiets ) will have learnt in what iheir strength c-in-: sistcd , ar . d what force they had , and would prove ; who wv-re th ? ir real or professed friends , aud wouid : : -ut a veto upon the falsa delusions of many who pro' fessed to bo the friends of the in .-iusirious mul : oi ; 3 ;^ d their face , but when tried were foun . * . to be , by : ' neir actions , their avowed ana inveterate ' er . rmi-js ; aiid if he gained n ' -thir . g el-e , he . vnd they vruuld uo thai .

( Cheers ) The Ciiartists of Nottingham brought forward a liberal man as a candidate , but the Whigs would not , support him . Mr . Bairstow theu gave a full explanation of the conduct of the Whi ^ s during the election , and analyzed the principles of Mr . Larpen :, and remarked that , because the Whigs would not support the Chartists , they would no : support them , aac the result was that the Conseivutive gained the
seat . Since that event , the wings Lave aeuouiictd the Charnst leaders as Tory Chartists ; the press has bi-en equally as severe in declamation in wreaking their vengeance , so much so , that when a person who is " said to be a Chartist , attends a public meeting , and claims a fair and impartial hearing , if the Whi ^ s have the puwer either by physical or m ^ ral means to prevent him from o ^ tainia ^ a hearing , they never hesi'ate to put it in force . ( Hear , ttar . ) The speaker commented upoa the conduct of a Whig druggist , who had put a paper in his window , certifying that a : a publ . c m ^ eiing the evenina before / at which Mr .

In a word , tLese men who ijcvcr jvudici their own interest , so that by their labours they could benefit the poor—who could almost to on their knees one day on behalf of the poor and next day hire a number of working mta to break the heads of their fellow creatures with bludgeons , acd . while the poor helpless creatures werebeiiig slaughtered in their presence , called it a fair demonstration of pubiic opinion . ( Execration . ) Was sach a cold biooded wretch as lhat a fit person ! o represent the people of Stcckport ? ( Cries of" No . ") Why did the pretended friends of the labourer not join the working classes to obtain their political rights , which would enable us , not only to Ri ^ i-m the Corn Laws , but protect labour . ( Cueers . )
What would the middle classes do without labour ? Labour , which cut all the navigations and constructed the railroads ; labour , wnich made the rawmaterial valuable , which tilled the land , produced all the hats , coats , shoes , and all ths necessaries or life ; which creeled the mansions and splendid palaces ; and lastly , without which the world would soon be a desert ; from the king to the pearanr , ail had to subsist upon it : and tho'jghit did ail that , yet it was the only thing which was unprotected . God had said that man should cat his bread by ihe sweat of hi 3 brow . Si . Paul daclared that iho > e who would not work should not eat . ( Cheers . ) Here Mr . Easby , the Editor of Bob Logic ' s Biulgct , goi upon a wall , and began addressing the people ;
a general rush was made towards him , winch stopped Mr . Ba rstow for a short time ; but no ; sooner was it iound out , than they groaned and j hissed him down , and came back again to the j speaker , and those who stood by him . Mr . Bair- i stow then broke off his former discussions , and ex- ¦ poic-d the Whig trick in sending their tool to dis- ; turb a peaceable meeting ; after giving the Whigs ' and Mr . Kasby a sound thrashing for their attempt j to disturb the peace , he continued to say that the Wh'gs may attempt the same game at Stockport I as they had played in the Staffordshire Potteries . ; They , perhaps , would resort to the same means as i they had resorted to at Manchester , where his life I had been threatened . But ha would have them to ; understand that if there was no protection afforded j for the life and property of a Chartist—if they were j not allowed peaceably to explain their principles ,
liC 1 Dl there should be no security for the lives and pro- perty of tbe Whigs . If they were determined to j stop tha mouths of Chartists , tho Whiga wonld i fiad that others could play the same game towards j themselves . ( Cheers . ) He had come there to assert j the rights of man ; he would continue , fearless of consequences , to advocate those rights , and would never cease till the working people were in pos- 1 session of a Toice in ihe legislature of ihe country j —till labour as well as property was protected . — ( Cheen :. ) Ho would set both parties at defiance , and teach the people not to be led astray , but for the future to be determined to play their own curd , irrespective oi" either party . The achievement of those objects which they had so long been in pur- j suit of , would tend to Becure the peace , happiness , and prosperity of the nation . The working mil- lions had declared that thev would rts !

and prosperity of the nation , yet on the working classes depended the existence of all other classes Mr . Bairstow then drew a horrible picture of the New Poor Law , and the three Devil Kings who sat at Somerset House , and asked whether they would have a man who supported them to represent their interest in Parliament . ( Loud shouta of " No . ") Then down , down with Cobden , and tho infernal New Poor Law ! ( Loud cheers . Several womeu" We won ' t have it . ") Mr . Bairstow theu commented on tbe proceedings at Manchester , in a strain of manly and forcible aud cutting language , and concluded by protesting against the return of Mr . Cobden for Stockport ; and on withdrawing was
greeted with loud cheers . Mr . Isaac Johnson rose and Baid he had been delighted with ihe sentiments uttered by their candidate , and was glad to hear that the Chartists of Stockport had com o to tho resolution to support neither party . He detested the New Poor Law Bill from the time it was passed , but where was Major Marsland when it passed 2 ( A voice- ^ - " In the House . ") Then ( said the speaker ) he had given it his support , and he thought hy deserved denouncing as well as Cobden , and hoped they would not return him to Parliament . A gentleman of the name of Williamson then stepped upon the platform to put a few questions to Mr . bairstow . Mr . Williamson— " Sir , will you vote for a repeal of the Corn Law , if returned to Parliament ? "' Mr .
Bairstow said ho deemed the Corn Law to be unjust in principle , oppressive and injurious in its operation , and ruinously fatal in its effects . He detested it a 3 a monopoly ; he would vote for its repeal when the working classes grasp the suffrage , with which to control the bem-fics of such a change , ooiivinccd as he w&s that , under the present limited suffrage it n-. yer would , or couid be repealedthat the working milliuus must first ba enfranchised ere that law would bo rt-pi-aleil . ( Lou » i cheering . ) When the People ' s Charter was ma . de the law of the land , then , and not tiil then , would he vote for its repeal . ( Cheers . ) The result of its repeal at present would simply bo a transfer of the power of plunder from the iiands . of landlords
to the cotton lords , money mongers , and our soidisant enterprising mauuijcLiuers , whose interest it was to carry labour to the cVnapest market , in order to ensnro h flo \ irt > hii ; £ trau .-. always deducting the loss iu the prints obtain ^; turn : ho wagoe of tlieart'ziu—not from tho proflc ¦ ¦ <>! t ; ie sjuculating master .

( Great chtcrs and laughter . ) Opposed to aii grievances as he was , Lo would , therefore , vote for tha annihilation of thai matter-piece of aristocratic abuse , and monopoly . Mr . Williamson—Sir , will you vote for a repeal ot the legislative union between Great Brita : n and Ireland ! Mr . Bairstorv—Un that Bubject there
existed much error and misapprehension . Ho was hippy tbat the gentleman had put tiat question . Great prejudice existed among the Irish in that country , ! rom Daniel O'Couneil terming tlum Tory Char :: s : s and Orangemen , & . e . But why abuse the Charti » t 3 as opposed to Repeal of the Union , until he had proved that they were either thu orJy opponents of Repeal , or opponents at all ! ' ( Tremendous cheers . ) He told his followers to bludg . on tb .-m , be-ausc they were Dot friends to Rtj-val . But why bludgeon the Chartists any more than Lord John RusseJ ! , Lord Moi petn , and other ministerial lackers , who ar »> as # rra ' . ly opposed to a repeal av the etanchest Oraugcinan in the United Kingdom , and yet he coalesces with the Baruc pjrty , who refuse rrpoal , and who , by h : s own reasonings , are Urangtmen . tLoud and continued cheering . ) Bat it was a foul and foundationless f .: Is '' hood
