GLORIOUS CHARTIST MEETWG . ( Omitted lad wee * from ward -, ' room . ) eat Sr * ME * K £ SgBSK Ow chair . ' uJ r ^ S etek ' J » Ting r od tbo notice i& * 3 » -jiCKM 0 » B moved the following resolution : — " Thai it is the opinion of this meeting that distress prevail * to an alarming extent , which we attribute to dan legislation as evinced by the restrictive 1 » wb which make food dear * od employment scares . " In this resolution b * cwdiaBy agreed ; the great evil ot this eountey wu class legislation , this had produced the « ri } of a monopoly of food , -and had engendered misery and crime throughout the land .
Mr . Killick . seconded the resolution . He was very orry it bad not fallen into abler hands , but 80 few of the working men were electors that they had selected him . Great distress existed throughout the country ; it na felt eren in their own borough , at their own homes ; and reformers of every grade ought to unite to remoTe its causes . "OniTersal suffrage , and nothing else , was the remedy to be adopted . ( Great cheering . ) Mr . SrtrRB . Fettow workmen : Blares in tie land of your nativity . ' I congratulate you upon your present meeting , and I also congratulate you that the High Bailiff has so honourably acceded to the wishes ef the requiationists , in calling this meeting . In the resolution I most cordially agree . The distress which exists is not only local bat general ; it extends throughout the
whale of the working population . and the » m » ii ihopkeepersin the United £ mpire , and this is truly attributed to the cause mentioned in the resolution—class legislation . Since the Charter has been propounded we have had many quack doctors proposing their nostrums and remedies to remove this distress , Some hare been for the abolition of the Poor Lav Amendment Bill ; others for a removal of tha monopoly on food , but fe-w , Tery few , amongst those who call themselves liberal and benevolent men , hare gone for the true remedy . They hare fettled with the effects , instead of destroying the cause . There is not a person present , in whatever sphere of life he may move , tint can lay claim to be a just , or an honest , man , if he deny the people their natural rights . A repeal of the corn laws , unaccompanied with other measures would be a decided injury to the working classes . The Corn Laws were enacted
by tha House of Commons . The same description of nen are still there ; you must , therefore , first turn out those men , and put other individuals in their place , who would do justice to all , without injury to any . A Government founded on the principles of Universal Suffrage w * uld immediately reduce the hours of labour , and thus gire time to the working class to caltiyate tftpir minds . They tell as we are t jo ignaraat . I hare often been told we should hare no objection to give the Suffrage to such men as you , but would you giro it to sweeps , to rogues and thieves ? but I tell them that this class of society is produced by class legislation , which has engendered poverty , misery , and crime . These men boast of their benevolence , talk of their humanity , asd yet , for expressing my opinions , I have bees deprived of employment Mr . Spurr then detailed a case of hardship exercised towards himself , which drew down cries of shame from the audience .
The resolution was Ahoa . put , and unanimously carried . Mr- APSI . KT 3 » ei . i . at said , I hare attended to the remarks made by those who preceded me with a great deal of interest I feel convinced that there is a large amount of intelligence among the working classes , and that it only needs a proper direction to enable you to remove those evils which have caused our present distress ; and , though I cannot go so far as some of your friends , will you refuse the assistance which I and my friends proffer you ! If you will listen to the amount of support which w « can sJFurd , we will state it ; but if we must go for the whole Charter , we must bow to jour decision , and bid you good morning . ( Cries of " € ro on" ) I know that the wealth an * , importance of
the nation is caused by the industry of the working classes . I know that 1 owe my position in society to i their exertions , and that I shall only remain in comfortable circumstances so long w ttiey are properly remunerated for tbeir labour ; it is by the tyranny of their , mannf&ctoriijg and other oppressors that the people ' have acquired tyrant vices . I know that had the people their rights , neither Stourges Bourne ' s Act , nor the present manner of electing the Poor Law Guardians , ' would be allowed . One of these measures emanated from the Tories , and the other from the Whigs . I am in ftvosr of Household Suffrage . ( Cries of " no , ne ; VB are not to be duped . " ) I would go a step fnrther , and have Universal Suffrage , with an educational test ; and , if this prodneed prosperity , I should have no
objection , step by step , to proceed still further . At the meeting that was held here last week , I pledged myself to assist in getting op this meeting . I wag pleased to see a friendly feeling existing between paj ties who bad hardly ever met before , I pledge myself to exert all my influence and energy in acting with you , but I cannot go the whole length of the Charter . I cannet rapport the last clause of the address . Mr . Pellat then re&d a number of extracts from Blackstone , Locke , Burleigh , Montesquieu , and others , 5 n snpport of liberal principles , it was his opinion that if we had a virtuous parliament , we should have a virtuous people ; but it took a virtuous people to make a virtttffus parliament . For this reason he was happy to see Infant and Sunday
schools progressing through the land- iCries of No humbug . ) Mr . Pellat then read extracts from a work called " American Coi . formUy , * written by Thcmu Spencer , M . A . a vicar of Hinton , near Bath . The work was on Church Reform , and it advocated a division of the income of the clergy to £ 200 ench , which would be a saving of four millions , which would pay all Poor Rates and Church Bates . He also advocated the Suffrage for all who could n ad and write , Tote by Ballot , and no canvassing for members ; this system to extend through every effice of Church and State . To this extent he was prepared to go- It was with reluctance that he adepted the concluding sentence in the Address , but for the sake of unanimity be would stretch a point , and move the whole Address : —
" May it please your Majesty , —That we your Majesty * snbj « cfcj , inhabitants of the borough of Soutbwk , having taken ' iaU > consideration the distressed state of the country , beg to approach your Majesty for the purpose ef laying before your Majesty our opinions as to the cause of such distress . " We bag to ipprize your Majesty , that there are in all parts of the country thousands of industrious persons who can scarcely obtain a sufficiency of food to support their existence , and that many art dying from a want of the common necessaries of life . This distress is not confined to one poition of ths country or one branch of trade , but that the tradesman , the small agriculturist and manufacturer , are alike on the brink of rain ; that by an ud just system of legislation restrictive laws have been enacted , which have produced t&iB fit&U of affairs ; that by the operation of the Corn and ether restrictive
l aws , the trade , manufacture , and commerce of this eouEtry , have been gradually declining away , until many of our manufacturers kave been compelled to close t&eir workshops , thousands of quarters of wheat have ro ' . ted in the bonded stores , -whilst the people have been starring . This state of tfcings , we are of opinion , would not have happened cad the people been fully and fairly represented in the Commons House of Parliament . They , therefore , humbly pray your Majesty , -with a view to the immediate relief of your Majesty ' s people , to instruct your Majesty's ministers immediately to convoke the Parliament , and to convey te it your Majesty ' s gracious wuh that the Corn and Provision Laws should be at once taken into consideration with a view to their repeal ; we also humbly pray your Majesty , at the same time , to instinct your 5 lsje £ ty"s ministers to introduce into the Commons' House of PArliament a
Bni for the enactment of the principles contained in the People ' s Charter . " ( Cheers . ) 3 > r . Bedford—It had been said , by certain parties , that if ever a meeting of the working classes was again held in that hall , that they would have to call in th « aid of the police . I am perfectly satisfied there is no need for that The authority of the Hifcb Bailiff was sufficient , without the aid of the police . A free presi was a blessing to a country . What would tkey havf known of the I > uke of Wellinjtsn's reply to the Paislej Imputation , bnt for the aid ef the press ? He had , When he entered the room , the same objection as Mr ,
Pellat to the concluf . in ? paragraph of the address , bn ' he would waive that objection ; he would rather unit < with them for the whole , than they should not obtaii their rights . Great distress pervaded the country which was produced by ekuss legislation ; and whili that exists , I believe there can be no effectual remed ; applied . If the Charter were carried to-morrow , : believe tiiat property -would have s preponderatinj influence . ( Cries of " No ; " " The Billot ") His mean ing was , that it would compensate for the superiorit ; of numbers in the working classes , which wsuld brin all to an equality . He had great pleasure in secondis thfi address .
Mr . Paekke—I c » ngritulate yon , fellow-workmen npon the Mr omen that the middle classes see the nects sity of a union with yea , for the destruction of clas legislation , that evil which had fettered the energies o both classes of society . As * working man , I givi great praise to our excellent High Bailiff , and likewisto the High Constable of Brighton , for acceding to ou wishes , in allowing us the use of the Town Hall , shew ing that they would not be pajVes to burking the prc fy ^ Hiigg of working men . I stand here , an evidence o our want of votes . I am a tailor , am have been out of work seven months- Wi have in London 15 , 000 journeymen tailors , ont o this number 9 , 000 are out of employ , and the 6 . 000 an only partially employed ; and the 9 , 000 out of employari continually knocking at the doors of the 6 , 600 , and en
deavouring to supplant them . To such a lamentabl state of tiiingr have we been brought by misgovern menV I h&ve long admtred the conduct of Mr . Pella in his resistance to ehareh tyranny , and I am happ ; to hear him state that lie will strain a point to nnit with us : let us show by eur conduct that we cai appreciate this ; listen fairly to their arguments , an < then decide . Many of the middle classes have an ide that , because we have no property of our own , we an anxious to divide theirs . 1 repel the idea ; we do no want their property , but political power , to enable a to protect our labour ; grant us this , and thould any thing occur , either by fore ign invasion , or by thi doings of an aristocracy , which should jeopardise thi ftm or property of the middle classes , the workini nut would be the first to fly to their rescue . < Grea cbMriB *)

Mr . Wilson—I am highly gratified to think that the objection which my friends entertained to the last clause in the address was so alight , that it wu waived almost without hesitation ; I think that the be « t clause in the address , ( Great cheering . ) It gives you the power to exercise your rights freely and fully ; you cannot even get two men to think exactly alike , therefore , yon must not he surprised to see a slight difference exist . I admire the principles contained in that clause , and hope that Unlvarsal Suffrage ud the Ballot wfil speedily become Vhe law or the land . ( Tremendous cheering . )
. Mr . Buffi Ridley—Sir , seeing the station you bold in society , I , as s working man , thank you for the position you have taken on this occasion . Fellow workmen , with the address , so far as it goes , I perfectly agree . I ' have been these last few weeks an eye witness of the distreu which prevails amongst the agricultural labourers of Suffolk and Esatx , and I emphatically say , that something must be done for their salvation from their present destitute condition . Mr . Bidley then gave an account of the tyranny he had met with * daring his tour , and tha manner in which he was dogged by the police ; yet be , the Divid of Chartism , without even bis sling in his hand , bad dared to meet the Goliah of class legislation . The Town Clerk having read the address , it was put by the High Bailiff , and unanimously adopted . Mr . Maynard proposed , and Mr . Morton seconded , that the address be- presented to her Majesty by the members for the
borough-Dr . Bedfobd explained that there would ba bo levae before parliament opened : it was therefore entrusted to the High Bailiff , to be immediately . sent by him to her Majesty , through the medium of the Secretary of State . Mr . Matnard : I am entrusted with performing the most important part of the business of the day , the proposing the adoption of the National Petition . I , an humble individual , have been chit fly instrumental in catling this meeting . The address irhich you have just agreed to , was the united production of the two parties , and by your passing it you have sanctioned my conduct , but I at the same time , told them that the National Petition most be adopted , that I wsuld not give way one iota ; give us Universal Suffrage , and we will speedily scatter all the bad laws to the wind . Mr . Maynard then read the petition , and moved its adoption . Mr . j £ A 5 S . in a few words , seconded the adoption of the
Petition-Mr . Heabne : ; 8 ec . to the Anti-Corn Law Association . ) I rise for the purpose of moving an amendment , and for the purpose of putting you in a good humour , I will read it Mr . Hearne then read a short petition , stating that great distress existed in the country , which was occasioned by the Cora Laws , and petitioning tot their repeal , and the enactment of the document called the People ' s Charter , it was with some difficulty be had conceded the point of embodying the Chatter in his amendment , but he bad done it for the sake of unanimity Mr . Apslkt Pellat seconded the amendment . Itagreed with the address and contained the substance of the original petition without going inta details .
Mr- M'Douaix , I intended to have addressed you at an earlier period , but am happy to think I did not It was with difficulty I sat silent so long and saw the address passed , making the Corn Laws paramount , and dragging the Charter in at the latter end ; it was putting the effect before the cause , the cart betel * the horse . He had sat silent during the passing of the resolution and address , but he was not going to see them cajoled out of the grandest principle of all . If the middleclass were desirous of a union with the working class , of burying their differences , and giving the representation equally to the poor inhabitant of the cottage , as to the resident of appalace , it was well ; they would not have their petition kicked out for a matter of expediency , It was his opinion that the amendment was moved for
the purpose of creating division and disunion . The Corn Law is an effect and not a cause . They were only established in 1815 , » nd were opposed by the working classes of this country , opposed at Ptterloo , even to death . They are the offspring of a greater monopoly—the monopoly of the suffrage ; the Reform Bill gave power to the middle class , but still it whs class legislation . If the suffrage was confined to the working el&s&es . it would still be class legislation ; but you are for Household Suffrage ; you are afraid of the ignorance of the working classes , why then appeal to their ignorance to support you ? Why ? Because you find that they are in possession of a power i of a public opinion at least equal to you / intelligence and to your votes . Give them , then , tha vote and they will give you public opinion . We are determined not to battle
with effect ; we will not agitate for a repeal of the Corn Laws ; we have given up an agitation still dearer to our hearts , that against the Poor Law Bill ; we have merged all in our demand for Universal justice ; we finim a vote for all , it matters not whether it is the Archbishop of Canterbury or his shoeblack . If we wanted to rob you , we should demand only votes for ourselves as you have done ; but we demand justice for alL We are willing to receive your assistance in this ; yoa have more time te devise , more money to support the struggle than we have . I see many here who are sincere as free traders , and who are , I believe , as sincere in Chartism as myself , but we must not have our petition altered . As one of the Execntive of the Chartist body , I was instrumental in drawing up that petition , and the allegations contained in it are correct .
The High Bsliff then pnt the amendment , which received the support of only one hand , for the contrary , a whole forest . Oa the National Petition being pnt it was supported by every hand in the meeting , save a couple of very lady-like looking ones ; the result was receired with tremendous cheers , which lasted for some time . Mr . Mainaed moved , and Mr . Parker seconded , " That the petition be presented to Parliament by Messrs . Humphrey and Wood , and that they be instructed to support its prayer . "
Aldebman Humphbev , M . P . —I rise to inform you that although 1 agree with some parts of the Petition , yet there are paragraphs which I cannot agree with , which in my opinion are not true , therefore I cannot support its prayer . ( " You will not long be M . P . for Southwaxk . ") Dant think to frighten me , I have remained upwards of three hours and patiently heard you , but I cannot support a petition , one of the allegations of which complains of packed juries . ( " True . " ) I believe it is not true . In my opinion the juries of this country are pure , axe above suspicion . ( Laughter . ) Would not any one of you sooner be tried by a jury of the aristocracy than by a jury of your own class ? ( " No , no . ") One part also claims a Repeal of the Union with Ireland . I remember what took place in France at the revolution . 1 remember the anarchy produced—( " By what ?")—by the same system as yen Chartists . ( Great uproar , hissing , &c ., daring which Mr . Spnrr advised them when they had given vent to their
feelings to be as still as death ) Mr . Humphrey—If you had the Charter it would not bo long before you were as still as death . I dont care for yonr disapprobation , if you will hear what I say after « srds . I heard one of your speakers advocate dividing tb » land into small farms of five or six acres—( " We mean to pay for it "»—I dont dispute that , I do not dispute that a man may maintain a wife and fire children comfortably , and have £ 25 to spare for manufactured goods ; but what is to become of those children ? Cau he divide his five acres between tb / .-m ? They have as much right to it as you . I represent a large eoestitneney—( cries of " we are not represented )—and if I do not express their sentiments I will resign . You may not agree with me ; but only reflect You that can read , go home and read your Bibles . ( Great confusion , and cries of " you are one of the educated . " " The Hon . Member , " &c . ) if you attended to its precepts you would not act as you do .
Dr . M'Douall—I nm not astonished that yon will not hear Mr . Humphrey ; I am only astonished you have heard him so loDg . If he had been giving his reasons why he could not support your petition , it ¦ would have been -wroDg to interrupt him , but I would ask him if the best way to get a body of men to listen to you , is to insult them . If it would not be better to speak to feem in a tone as though they were reasonable beings . It would gratify him to hear the arguments which a member of Parliament had against the petition . It was such a novelty to hear them . Mr . Humphrey—Very few dare stand before a body as I dc—icriea of " and insult them" )—and inform you of my objections to the Charter . Each of the paragraphs in the Petition , would take twenty-four hours to consider , and yet it was all to be forced into them at once , and delegates from all parts of the country to support it . ( Great uproar , after which Mr . H . tried in vain to get a hearing . )
Mr . Mat sard begged leave to withdraw the resolution , calling upon the members for the borough to support the Petition . Mr Parker seconded the motion . Mr . Goodpeliow moved a vote of censure on Mr . Humphrey , which was seconded by Rufpy Ridley , and carried with the three groans . Mr . Matxasd moved that Mr . Wood , M . P . be instructed to present and support the petition . He had , through indisposition , been compelled to quit before the close of the meeting . Mr , Rogers seconded the motion , which was carried unanimously .
Mr . Matt sard \ riihed to give praise where praise was due . Mr . Humphreys had called this a packed meeting ; the High Bailiff thought it was not a packed meeting : he had kindly granted them the use * f the Hall , and promised to do so on future occasions , even if the requisition was not so numerously signed . He proposed a votfc of thanks to the High Bailiff for bis kindness in so patiently presiding over them , at his advanced age , during so long a meeting . The motion beln ; teemded , was carried unanimously . The HIGH Bailiff thanked them for the very nattering manner in which they had treated him ; and though be could not entirely agree in their petition , yet he was willing to . do any service which laid In his power .
Ths marked attention and respect paid to the venerable gextleui&n contrasted ttrongly with the ntxt proceeding , which was three groans for Humphrey . Three cheers were then given for the Charter , for O'Connor , for Frost , &c , for the Executive , and for the Slav , and the meeting , which was more crowded than we ever witnessed at an election ; dispersed , highlygrati&ed with tbeir triumph .

THE STONEMASON'S STRIKE . MEETING IN LIVERPOOL . In accordance with the placards numerously posted in Liverpool and the vicinity , a numerous meeting took place on Wednesday evening week , at the Queen ' s Theatre in that town , for the purpose , as the bills notified , of laying before the working classes and the public generally , a fuir , honest , and ungarbled statement of the grievances which the stonemasons , recently engaged in the erection of the new Houses of Parliament , have experienced at the hands of a cruel and heartless individual , in the form of the human race , named George Allen , who , in his capacity as foreman , had acted in a more barbarous manner than the Egyptian taBk-masters of old over the enslaved Israelites . This meeting was therefore got up by a committee of the
trades in Liverpool , in unison , with the working raasona , to remove any erroneous impression which might have been imbibed by the public as to the correct cause of this strike , which had no connection whatever with wages , but was purely a matter of right against might , or in other words , a struggle against cruelty in its most hideous and unnatural form . The meeting being advertised for eight o'clock , to suit the convenience of mechanies generally , long before that hour va immense crowd had collected at the doors of the Theatre , which were opened about half-past seven , and before the time appointed every part of the bouse , pit , boxes ' , gallery ,
and stage , were crowded , presenting as animated a picture of the " unwashed , " but hardy and oppressed artizina , as the aristocrats of the land could possibly wish to clap tbeir eyes upon . Despite of the inconvenience which numbers , however , must have experienced from the pressure in various parts of the Theatre , we never attended a more orderly meeting in Liverpool , or , in fact , any other part of the country , so that a posse of the foot guards , blue , who were scattered about in various directions , had a sinecure birth of it for the evening , having nothing to do but listen to the wrongs which men of the same sphere in life as themselves , as to circumstances , were endeavouring to avert .
Shortly after the hour appointed , Mr . Qlaister , a working mason , was unanimously called to the chair three cheers following bis appointment . He begged the indulgence of the meeting , in commencing the business of the night , as that was the first time such an honour had been conferred upon him ; therefore , it could cot be expected that he should be quite perfect in the business he had to go through ; but , under all the circumstances , be craved their indulgence . He read , in the first instance , the placard calling the meeting together , which was done solely to remove the erroneous impressions which had emanated mischievously from a portion of the London press . ( Hear , hear . )
He trusted , when the honest truths were fairly laid before them , without the least exaggeration , the stonemasons of London would exercise the sympathy and assistance of the trades of the country : generall y . The first strike , on the men ' s own responsibility , took place in the works of the new Houses of Parliament , unconnected with wages , or any general strike whatever , but entirely on account of the tyrannical treatment which , as a body , they had experienced under the foreman of the works , named George Alien . Having quitted their employment , they considered it an act of justise to themselves and the public , to lay before them a full statement of the grievances which led them to abandon their work .
The Chaibman here read the printed report of the men , which 1 b too . lengthy for the present , notice , bnt suffice it to say , it contained unfeeling enormities committed upon the working men , which we considered heart-rending , as the sufferings of the labouring classes , are , and have been , had no place in the annals of the nineteenth century . A few of this tyrant ' s proceedings however , should be banded down to posterity , as an Indelible stamp of infamy upon the character who perpetrated them . In the first place , it wna a high and unpardonable offence , for a man employed tinder him to
visit a dying mother , wife , or child , if time was lost by such visits , and accordingly nothing short of dismissal was the consequence , with the brutal epithet in the hargain ; of ' Go , and die with your mother and be d—d . " A pump was locked up In the yard to prevent the labourers , at low wages , from getting water because a certain public house in the neighbourhood ought to have been patronised ,- «» so that men who could not leave the works except at stated hours , might also famish with thirst amidst the burning lime , and be d—d . Another piece of unheard of cruelty wu also perpttrated by ibis monster in human shape—a man

broke his leg on the works by accident , and being anxious to resume his employment as soon as possible , he attempted to do »• much as he could before he waa as bale and as be bad previously been , but no , thank you , this wa » not to , be sanctioned by this stoneyhearted despot—he might hobble elsewhere , but not there , and also go and be d—d for all George Allen cared about the matter . The heart , however , sickens at the facts recorded in the printed statements of the men , and we will therefore proceed with , the business of the evening in connection therewith . , After readinff the report ,
The Chairman informed the meeting that any further information which the working classes might require would be readily given by the Committee at the Union Tavern , St Thomas ' s Buildings , Liverpool ; but he Had no dembt the statement put forth by the masons of London would M credited , and , If so , was it not an unparalleled act of cruelty on the part of this man to discharge an Individual for taking a last farewell of bis dying parent , or witnessing the last breath escape the lips of ah affectionate wife , surrounded by her offspring 1 If such inhuman proceedings were tolerated by any body of men , who witnessed such inflictions , the best feelings of human nature would at once be eradicated . ' He did not consider , however , that there was
another employer in the whole universe who would ant in a similar manner ; and the m 6 n were therefore justified in enforcing , if possible , the dismissal of this petty and diabolical tyrant before they resumed tbeir labours ; and should the meeting , and the working classes generally , think with him , this ill treated body of men , who were now idle , would be amply protected and supported in their laudable endeavours . The Chairman concluded by reading a letter from Colonel Thompson , who was delivering a lecture on the Corn Laws in the sama building the preceding evening , stating his sorrow that he should not be able to attend tha present meeting , as he was compelled to leave Liverpool on urgent business the same morning . The Chairman was loudly cheered on veaumlng his seat .
Mr . Davis ( journeyman printer ) rose to move the first resolution . He observed , in commencing , that all who were present had heard the revolting details connected with the mason's strike in London , and the explicit manner in which the chairman had delivered them ; and he assured the meeting that the body he represented that night were too well informed to be hoodwinked by representations -which were not founded in troth , —he should , therefore , submit to the meeting ths first resolution , which he read as follows : ¦—" That this meeting cannot sufficiently express its indignation of the conduct of George Allen , foreman to Jlesara Grissell and Peto , as exhibited by him towards
the masons lately employed at the Houses of Parliament And that it further enters its most solemn protest against the recognised right of this man , or indeed of any nun , to trespass upon the private jadgment and sacred ground of domestic obligation , by a series of petty and annoying acts of aggression towards their fellowmen , which have unhappily characterised this strike in particular ; and this meeting fully approves of the course pursued by the stonemasons of London , and further pledges itself to use every exertion in aiding and assisting them towards a successful termination of a struggle , involving , as it necessarily does , the interests of eur fellow-operatives throughout the empire . "
The reading of this resolution caused a great sensation in the meeting , after which Mr . Davis resumed He said it was a fearful duty for his brother operatives to reflect upon the conduct of such a man as Allen , and they would be wanting in their duty if they did come forward to support the oppressed ; and he also should be unworthy Of the station he held in society if he did not raise his humble voice against such a brutal oppression . He ( the speaker ) had suffered from tyranny in another shape , in his own profsssion , and he therefore felt more keenly the oppressor ' s rod , which the stonemasons had experienced . When a man had finished hia labour , and the sweat from his brow had ceased , no dutyto his employers , on that day , remained to perform—his own private or political pursuits should
be open to him—he rendered his labour in the market , and received an acknowledged equivalent , but coercion was no part of his contract ; and therefore he had just reason to complain , as the masons had done , against such tyranny . ( Long and loud applause ) The strike of this body of men was a novel one , and doubly so by the heroic and honest manner in which they had laid their cause before the public The duty of master and man should be reciprocal , but the wiseacres on the one side state , that-should one of their menials dare to express himself in public , after the hours of labonr , he must be thrown' upon the wide world to get a living how he could . Such was the case in some instances in bis profession , but the character of Allen , the foreman of the masons , exceeded all others . He , in defiance of all the rules and ties of his common nature , had prevented , if possible , the soothing embraces of adying mother and the last consoling wish
of a fondaud affectionate wife . What could be mere sacred than such ties as these , and what more natural than that the author of such revolting acts should be held up to public odium ? His ( Mr . Davis ' s ) heart recoiled at the recital of such a history as the Chairman had read of Allen , who was the foreman' to Messrs . Grissell and Ptto , the contractors for the New Houses of Parliament , Nelson ' s Monument , &c , But , he would ask , sheuld the fame of the renowned Nfeisou be raised one single foot above the earth under such tyranny as bad been related , namely , that no workman should be absent to consigA his own mother ' s or wife ' s remains to its cold and natural tomb ? Heaven forbid it ; he would rather such a monument should never exist , than this tyranny continue The speaker then took an elaborate view of the case in all its bearings , and concluded an excellent speech , replete with sound sense and reasoning , to enforce the claims of the stonemasons upon a candid and discerning public .
Mr . JONES , shoemaker , came forward to second the resolution , and was loudly cheered for several minutes . He considered he should be wanting in his duty to his fellow men , were he not to proclaim , with all the lungs he possessed , Allen to be a wretch of the worst classification in the scale of mankind . He again repeated that be was an inhuman monster , and all the details of his conduct , bltherto uncontradicled , were sterling proofs of the astounding fact . In a long and excellent speeeh , he reiterated the crimes of Allen , but attributed all the misfortunes and injuries which betel the working classes to their great backwardness and their want of energy in not going heart and
band with each other . Allen told some of his men , and good men too , to take up their tool * and walk ; but if the men would only unite like the masters , many , very many of that usurping class would also be compelled to to take up their tools and walk . He next repeated the grievances under which the men h » d laboured under this monster in the form of man , and said if they suffered themselves to be oppressed any longer by such tyranny , they alone were to blame . The speech of Mr . Jones , which was full of sound argument against the rod of the oppressor , was replete with sympathy , and three distinct rounds of applause followed him to his seat on the platform .
Mr . Williams , journeyman printer , moved the second resolution , namely : — ' That this meeting is of opinion , from the conduct pursued by Messrs . Grissell and Peto , they have rendered themselves reprehensible in the highest degree , inasmuch as they have sanctioned the course of annoyance and petty tyranny on the part of their foreman , Geo . Allen , thereby taking upon themselves the responsibility of bis overbearing and tyrannical proceedings towards the masons employed by them ; and further , in their refusing to investigate the charges brought by the masons against the said Allen , after giving a distinct pledge to that effect . " His appeal to the feelings of the meeting was powerful , and he pictured in tbeir true colours the wretch who held the unenviable situation of such a man as had been dflacrihari .
Mr . Robinson , a working man , we understood a shoemaker , seconded the motion in able terms , and followed in equal deprecation against such men as Allen , who , if permitted , would grind to the earth the whole of the working classes of this country who were the bones and sinews of its former pre-eminence in the scale of nations . After a long but interesting speech , toe motion was pat from the chair , and , like the former one , carried amidst cheer * and lengthened applause . , - ; Mr . M'Cabtney , working smith , next addressed the meeting , and we feel sorry that the animated address which he delivered was too long to be inserted in full ; to be garbled , therefore , would be an act of injustice , and we therefore have but this fact to relate , that he stood manly forward to deprecate that portion of the London press which had slandered , in the worst spirit possible , the conduct of the masons , and such a system he contended would long continue , unless the
people had the choice by honest representatives , In making the laws by which they were governed . As the country stood at present , the working classes were treated like a herd of serfs beneath the despotic rod of their oppressor * Whilst he , however , deprecated one portion of the press , he called upon them to rally round , and support the true organs of independence ; he then enumerated that small portion to which he alluded , amongst which was , the British ¦ Queen and Statesman . the DundeeChronide , and a few other Scotch papers , and though last , not least , the Northern Star , which had in all tried seasons , since it came into existence , proved itself the true and unflinching advocate of the people ' s rights . This source was always open to them , and that paper consequently should receive their warm , and unqualified support Aftn strongly alluding to class legislation as toe chief cause of the people ' s present miseiies and oppression , he moved the following resolution : —
" That , from the conduct pursued and the spirit evinced by a portion of the Xondon press , tho « e journals have proved themselves directly opposed to the Intetett o ! the working classes generally , and to the stonemasons particularly , by identifying themselves with , and standing forward as the advocates of , the tyrannical and oppressive capitalist , in bis unholy warfare against the rights and privileges of the ' -madmen of all wealth ; and m hereby publicly take the opportunity of impressing upon our fellow-operativea throughput the empire the necessity of discountenancing and discouraging the circulation of those journals j and farther , to exert their influence in aiding and assisting that honest portion of the press which has no nobly stood forward An defence of the interests ot the labourers against the encroachments of tte grinding and hauebtr taskmaster .
