LEEDS UNEMPLOYED OPERATIVE BNTJ * MBRATTON COMMITTEE . Oar anxiety to promote mj undertaking thai jus a tendency to ameliorate the sufferings of the institute , prompt as to comply with the request of » deputation from the abort Cowniftce , that we ironld give a statement of its objects , in order thai its claims to support may be nor * widely ebe olated . A glance over one of the enumeration books , and % statement of the order of procedure , made bj the deputation , enable as to say that the mode -which jj » Committee h * e adopted is admirably calculated to attain the end in Tiew .
The Committee is composed of Delegates repregeaung the workmen employed at Yahoos factories sad workshops in the borough , who contribute one penny each , weekly , to a Committee Food , the necessity of which will be apparent from the following statement : — Twenty of the most intelligent operatives are , at present , engaged in the several wards taking the aanm eration , who receive two shillings each , or upwards , per day . Two competent persons , otherwise mi employed , are engaged making an analysis of all the enumeration books which increases the daily expenditure , which , when added to the expenses previously incurred , by printing circulars , enumeration books , &c will show that the pennies of the weekly contributors are being well applied .
We might here insert a few cases of appalling destitution which a brief inspection of an enumeration book brought under our notice , were we not » ware that we should thus be unnecessarily anticipating the committee's report ; we will oaly say , that the enumerators , when they hare finished their several wards , will hare laid bare such a mass of iadigenee and destitution , as bat few indeed of the inhabitants of Leeds ever dreamed of . W » perceive that Shasius Cxawtqbd and other members of Parliament , have been put in possession of statistical details of the average sums upon which
human beings , in ihe several towns which they represent , are obliged to subsist . We are not aware of the auspices under which these details have been collected . It would be well , however , if tiae operatives of a ll places , where distress prevails , and where it does not prevail , would take this matter iato their own hands ; n is their own case . The operatives of Leeds are acting spon thi 3 principle ; and good will undoubtedly result from its adoption . We have lone and earnestly contended for this
mode of procedure , vis the necessity of working Ben doing their own work . They cannot pondtr over the misery which they have brought to light without perceiving the causes from which it emanates . Let this be done generally , and we doubt jot the issue . The necessity of something being don e is now becoming apparent , even to obtuse per * eeptions . CenuniBseration for the sufferings of the poor , and desire to alleviate those sufferings , are ¦ suable feelings .
The Enumeration Committee is acting upon a noble as well as a generous principle . The propriety * f supporting this committee , we would respectfully enforce upon every employed operative in Leeds ; and to other towns , we say Go ye and do likewise . "

THE BIRMINGHAM DEMONSTRATION . We know not how to begin to write on this invigorating subject ; and , with our present modicum of space before us , dare not do so . We shall , therefore , simply leave the following extract from the letter of an eye-witness , which our readers will see was written as a private note , to tell its own * U > ry : — BIRMINGHAM FOB EYEB , EUKRA . H ! JI

It d * Se » description * and baffles all calculation &a U gTrmjiCTn . i »>) a 3 i give tome frets whereupon 70 a may form a sort of estimate . The streets oT Birmingham are i » th long and wide ; Brom ^ rore-street is particuliriy long—I should ay frem top to bottom nearly a bail mfle , and when I arrived at the bottom , tiat portion of tbe procession which preceded the ear filled th * street u full ai an egg . It wa » not aproeessionj it was a town full of people ! Wfcfle I wa » at the bottom d Bromagrove-street , I eoold sot s « e nearly to the end of tlie procession , which was behind the car . — Every mas who Las witnessed tiie processions for the
last twenty yean , with the exception of Mr . Blaxland , allows that it was far away the largest ever seen . Even if inclined , it would be impolitic in me to exaggerate , as hundred of tbouaaada saw tht reality , and will judge fox themaelve * . Mi . Blsxland , one of tiie old Council , and an excellent man , told me that be thought the procession to meet Attwood qb fcii reinm from Lord Grey , was larger , if axi ihixg > bo * that Honda / a far out-numbered my other he bad seen . Tbe Executive was there , and Leach , who aaw half a million cm Serai Moot , rayi tfr ** be thinks Keiial Moor was a larger meeting . I was at Birmingham at the grand Attrood convention demonstration in 1 S 3 8 . when the
press gave us 206 , 000 . Mind , 280 , 000 , and I assure yon , cm my word of honour , you could have stolen the procession of 1838 out of ours of Monday . It bore no comparison . "Well , M ' jDouall aaw the procession to meet the delegates in 1 S 39 , and he said that it would be an insult to compare them . The Town Hall of RirmingfrnLTn ja estimated to hold 12 , 000 persons ; and I assure you , that the numbers congregated in Birmingham on this ever-memorable 20 th of September , 1811 , would have taken more than two hours to wali in and out of the said Town HalL No * for the joke .

Herald , gave us , I presume , upon the same authority that it gave a list of the Adasinlstiatiou that was not tele , S 00 —• mind , $ 00 ; men of Birimingham ; mind , S 00 litSk boys and women . The doit ! the fool ! the ass . ' the floating old woman !

Is there now , or is there not , a necessity for a daily organ of our own , to fight the old woman with ?

MORE WHIG TACTICS . The defunct faction seem resolved , even in their graves , to do something in the way of mischief . They sees disposed for a repetition of the Steveasoa ' ssquare tragedy on Monday . A placard , of which the following is a copy , has been plentifully circulated among the Irish of Manchester ; doubtless , in the hope of exciting soma disturbance . We trust the prudence of the people will disappoint the wretches .
copt : — " Irishmen . ' Feargus O'Connor comes to Manchester on Monday next , Sept .-27 th , and expects to triumph over his opponents here by inducing you to follow in his aaxn and do homage to him as a patriot . In order to conciliate you , as helmows he can do no good without yon , he has tacked tht Repeal of the Union to the People ' s Charter . Irishmen ! who is the great leader of toe Iriih people ? wha is tbe true liberator of his injartd conntry ? Daniel O'Connell Wh » counselled the Chartists of Leeds to give Mr . O'Connell
a " wel&sme ? Feargus O'Connor . Who has uniformly Kfcelied , abused , and belied Mr . D . O'Connell ?—learjTu O'Cewwr . Who was the means of retarding Walter for Nottingham , and restoring the Peel and Stanley government to power ? Feargus O'Connor . Irishmen , if you lore your csratry , if yon love your great leader , if you are true to yoor cafcse , meet Feargus O'Connor , in SSephenson ' s-iqnare , on Monday next , and show to b ' and Qje world , that you hate tyrants » nd hypocrite * , and are aot to be led away by Tory wolves la Chartist clothing .

xhe infamous document bears no imprint . It is doubtless meant for mischief . Let Sir Chables Shaw look to it , that the peace of the town be kept , and her Majesty peaceable subjects protected from © atrage .

We are sorry that our Manchester friends should have used any expression which any honest Chartists

TO MR . HENRY HETHERINGTON . Sib , —After having challenged me to a discussion relative to the principles of Chartism , as advocated by Messrs . Lovett and Collins , and the principles of Chartism advocated by the National Charter Association , you have , I find , declined the acceptance of my proposal to meet yon , although I have much inconvenienced myself by offering to extend the time to any day up to Friday inclusive . You say ( I understand ) that yoa would not be prepared before the middle of October , as you require to look over back numbers of the Northern Star . You forget that all tbe preparation necessary on meeting Mr . Watkins would be available in your discussion with me ; but you could not have forgotten that , from the middle of October , for some months , 1 have an engagement for every day . In this state of the affair , I must beg to hand you over to tbe Executive , who will be in London on Monday , the 11 th , when , I am instructed to say , they wiLl take the part which I had assigned to myself . I must say , that yonr conduct has been most unfair and unjust ; but I have no reason to complain , if the public will tolerate such a trifling with so serious a subject . I am , Sir , Your obedient Servant , Feahgus O'Cohnob .

BBONTERRE O'BRIEN . Fellow Country men , —Had not our exultation been chastened and modified by the very judicious letter of our persecuted friend , Mr . O'Brien , we should have been led by our enthusiasm , at bis liberation , to make it a matter of public rejoicing and congratulation . Like purer spirits we can rejoice when even one is extricated from the jaws of our enemies ; but our advocate and champion is not one only , he is himself a phalanx . On the 24 tb of this month , O'Brien will , if able , walk out of the dungeon in which he has beeii bo long confined . It is not his intention to allow himself any long respite , bat to proceed , as soon as convenient , to carry on his attack upon the combined forces of capitalist and landlord .
All will see the necessity and propriety of Mr . O'Brien being so circumstanced that be can be at full liberty to adopt such steps as will be best to promote our common cause . Iu order that such may be the case , it -will be necessary to forward all monies at present in the hands of the several Treasurers , to the General Treasurer appointed by the Central Committee ; and we entreat you , fellow countrymen , not to let this suffice ; recollect , for s moment , that the man whom we are thus feebly assisting , is persecuted for the transcendent ability , and the indomitable spirit , with which he has pleaded for the rights of nun . Recollect ! that he has sacrificed the honours of rank , fcnd the comforts of competency , and submitted to the misery and hardship of want , that he might assert those principles -which are founded in truth and justice , and for which we hope that all are disposed to make some sacrifice .
Now that Mr . O'Brien has outlived the torments of his imprisonment ; now that he is going to be restored to the bosom of Ma family , and the society of his Triends , let us make one general effort , testifying eur gratitude to Mr . O'Brien , and our abhorrence of bis enemies . Let every association have its voluntary collection , on its next meeting night As much depends upon individual exertion , let every member go with a resolution to moot the subject if none else does . With such a resolution little exertion would be necessary , and , if simultaneously acted upon , great and good must be the result Signed on behalf of the Committee , John Qgdex , Secretary . Sept . 22 , 1 SU . ai

Fellow Wobking Men , —Knowing , as I do , that political knowledge is the only thing wanted among the people to arouse them to a sense of their degradation and slavery , I deem it a duty incumbent upon every lover of liberty to use every means in his power to regain for himself and his fellow working men those long withheld but just tights which we are now struggling for ; and it the people will carry out the principles which I am about to recommend , I believe it would be of incalculable benefit , in supporting the Chartist cause , and that without the sacrifloe of one single penny to tbe public , aa yen will perceive is reading this letter . , You are aware that we have an Executive Council , elected to direct' the national movement , but whose labours are , to a certain degree , crippled for want of better supplies , which may be considerably increased by carrying oat the following plan , wliich I propose as follows : —
I will supply all such as may favour me with their orders with blacking of best quality , and at the lowest possible price ; and whilst it is good and cheap to the consumer , it shall leave a , good remunerating profit to the agent And I further propose to transmit to tbe Executive Gpuncil of the National Charter Association , to assist in carrying out the objects for which the Asso ciation was formed , one halfpenny out of every shilling which I receive . , Tho following regulations to be adhered to in tiie financial affairs 1 !— ,
First , That every order must be accompanied with the money ( or we can never conduct out business witb propriety before the public ) , and that the agent , when he sends me an order , most sent a copy of the order to the Executi-re Council , that tbey may know what i * due to them every week .

TO Open the Eyes of the Deluded World , I ask will any Medical Gentleman , from any quarter , contrast the honesty and success of his Practice , as Surgeon , Physician , and Accoucheur , with that of mine , during the last Twenty-eight Years Surely this is the right way to test merit , medicine , andmen . Thank Providence that all honest Lawyers and Doctors , and Clergy , are no longer my Persecutors , and the ' . r own enemie ? , but , like other honest men , as their grateful letters to me , to publish their Cores , amply testify—are acknowledging the necessity of Universal Suffrage in Medicine , as in Politics , ia order to establish the Health of Mankind .
FIRST LETTER . To Dr . Greer , of Glasgow . Dear Sir , —It is with peculiar pleaaure that I add my testimony to that of many others in favour of your truly valuable medicines . 1 have used them myself , givan them to my family , and , of late , administered them to my patients ; and , in every case the result has been so very good , that , approving , as I now do , of the Hygei&n principles of Medicine , and Medical Practice , 1 have come to the resolution of using no other Medicines in my Practice than your ' s—being convinced that they will be always attended by the happiest results . I am , Sir , Your obedient Servant , Jakes Thompson , Surgeon , Bufiby . The nest letter . will be from an honest writer .
Caction , —Since I conscientiously resigned , seven years ago , my lucrative situation , as Professor to the British . College of Health , London—( see Moriseniana , 1834 )—^ hen I , by the approbation of the late Jamea Moriaon , Esq ., Hygeist , and upwards of 10 , 000 con verts to Hygeianism , ( who had : read my review of the PharmacopicB , ) improved the Universal Medicine , and . reduced its price—I have bo connection with the conflicting parties , who sell what each call Morisoa ' s Pilk—nor with any , but my own Medicines , which , after seven years' trial in every disease , of yonng , and old , on sea and land , o £ apublio or a private nature , stand unequalled for Safety and , Successful Cures ; and whioa requira trial
