DUNDEE . 10 RI 0 U 3 TRIUMPH OF PRINCIPLE OYER DELUSION . The anti-Corn Law gentlemen , in acordance with the tactica of the party throughout the country , on iearing the result of Tamworth Bob ' s five months ' deliberation , resolved to get up a public meeting to denounce the sliding scale , to petition the House of Commons against it , and memorialise her Majesty ibr the dismissal of the present Ministry . They presented a requisition to ths Provost , signed by . about 250 merchants , manufacturers , and sfiopieepers , and he fixed the meeting to be held © a . Monday , the 28 ih ult ., at ono p . m ., on the Magdalen Yard Green .
Oa the Wednesday previous , tha Secretary of the Democratic CooucD , received a letter from the Secretary of ihe Complete Suffrage Association , su ggesting a conference between the Council and the Committee of the latter body , in order to come to an unanimous resolution on the Suffrage , as they understood that that < piestion would come before the xoeeiing at the conclusion of the Corn Law busines ? . The council had previously resolved to moveamendinsnts to any resolution that might be submitted to the
meeting , pledging them to agnate in any way on j * ha Corn Laws ; and , at their meeting on . Friday evening , prepiratory to the conference with the ] 1 Srurge party , " they resolred to adhere to their for- , tter decision ; and five members were appointed to I confer with the osher committee . On their meeting , the Secretary of the Complete Suffrage Association i said they wished to know what course the Chartists i intended to pursue oa the Suffrage being bronght j before ihe meeting . He was informed " that they in : tha : matter would be guided by circumstances ;— i that in the event of a motion bains submitted for
complete or universal suffrage , it wovJd be met by an amendment for the Charter , asd that the Chartists would not agree to any resoluuon for any thing less . A copy of a Tasolutlon was submitted to " them which j received the approbation of almost all tao members of < ihe Complete Suffrage Committee . This matter , then ,: seemed to be settled , but thes came the question of ; questions . How do you intend to act on the Corn Law question ] " asked the Complete Suffrage Patriots . (?) There was the " rub . " They were told the course ; intended to be pursued by the council—a course trhich theSiurgitesconsidered tibe " veryunwise , < ¦ very ill-judged , and calculated to ir-jure the cause of
lAartisin . The deputation of course gave an oppo- i ate opinion j it was policy they had successfully j pursued with great advantage to ikeir cause , as was ' evidenced by the formation of Complete Suffrage j Associations among the "middle classes , who wonld ] not have gone that length had it not been for the j opposition given to the anti-Corn Law movement by ; the Chartists . The deputation wished one of the other party to move , second , or support the resplu- i tion , which was of a sort agreed to by both parties ;; but none being present who would undertake to do : this , i ; wa 3 agreed that six of each Committee should meet on Saturday evening , to make the final ; arrangements . 1
They met as agreed upon ; but instead of setfling about speakers , the time was spent in disenssing th 9 policy of opposing the resolutions on the Corn Laws . The Chartists still adhering to their former resolve , the meeting broke up , the Complete Suffrage men declaring that the conference would do more harm than good , as they thought it would break up their association . The greatest excitement prevailed on Monday ; by twelve o ' clock , the streets were thronged with working men , hurrying to the scene of action ; a fixed determination to standby the right visible on their honest open countenances . By one o ' clock , 16 , 000 or 1 S , CGO-persons were congregated round the hustings .
Edwjled Baxter , Esq .. w . is unanimously called io the chair . He opened the business by commenting Dn the conduct of magistrates , their refusal to preside , and the holding of the meeting on the Magdalen Yard Gtc ^ -instead of the High-street , during this inclement frronof the year . He contrasted the conduct .. Provost Lawson , the present chiefmagistrate , in refusing to preside over such an important meeting of the whole inhabitants a 3 the present convened by himself , and the conduct of the Provosts , Hackney and Johnstone , who , when they convened a portion or the inhabitants only ' presided at the meetings . He read a letter he had received from Jhe Town Clerk , stating that tho magistrates
had learned that oiher business than that mentioned in the requisition , was to be brought before themeeting , and that an efiL-y of Sir Robert Peel was to be paraded through the streets , and afterwards burned in 4 he Market-place , and expressing their disapproval of such proceedings , and holding him responsible for the peace of the town . He had -returned for answer tb . 2 t he know nothing of the effigy until that moment ; that he saw it in the street , and that the magistrates should now , as always , be prepared to preserve the peace—( cheers ) . He then stated the business of the meeting , enjoining them to preserve order , and promised a fair hearing to all who wished to a-ddres 3 the meeting .
Mr . AitXAXDEB Ealsox , manufaciurerj in a speech composed of the usual anti-Corn Law arguments , moved the following resolution : — '' That this meeting considers the sliding scale of duties on foreign grain , proposed by Sir Robert Peel , es 3 n insult and a mockery to the patient and 16 Eg-EaSeriEg people ; and this meeting believes that the Government would not have proposed snch a measure hsd not the patience of the people , under their wrongs , induced the ariitocracy to believe that they would submit to anything however oppressive and unjust "
This was seconded by "W . G . Baxter , Esq ., who j apologised for the absence of his brother , through ! indisposition , who intended to secord the resolution . '' Mr . - John Duncan stated that he cordially , agreed "with the latter part of the resolution—the patience of the people had emboldened others than the aristocracy to oppress them . The resolution was passed unanimously . The Rev . Mr . Gilfillam , in one of the most ladicrou 3 and bombastic speeches we ever-had the misfortune to listen to , moved the following resolution . " Tjat tliis meeting declares its con-riction that the psap-ntfni food of mn-n is exempt , by tho laws of nature and Providence , from all liability to restriction or taxation ; and that every interference with its free exchange for the honest industry of the labouring classes is immoral and irreligious . "
The Rev . Mr . Spesce briefly seconded the resolution , which was agreed to . At this stage of the proceedings Daniel MpEwen , "F . sq ., - writer , "was appointed clerk to ihe meeting . Thomas SArSDERS , Esq ., merchant , in moving the next resolution , declared his conviction that justice ¦ would never be done lo the people without a change in the representative system of the country . The resolution was as follows : — " That a memorial to the Queen and a petition to IParliament be presented from this meeting , in accordance irith these resolutions , the memorial to the Queen praying ihat her Majesty mil dismiss from her Councils , " her piescnt MLnisltrs as altogether incompetent and uxrwilliDg to conduct the aSairs of th * is great nation on tha T > riiicipie 3 of justice and humanity / ¦
Seconded by D . McEwex , Esq ., who declared tha t he was as great a Reformer as any man present , ye * refused to officiate as clerk , because he anticipated an amendment being proposed . David retired amid the disapprobation of the meeting . Sir . JohxDuscaa' then came forward , and was received with loud cheers . He reviewed the speeches of the previous speakers , especially the effusions of the parsons , amidst loud bursts of applause . He characterised them as hypocrites , for standing aloof from the agitation , for the rights of the people , ye : joining tie manufacturers m their cry for cheap bread . He earnestly called upon the people to stand firm to their principle .:, and conclnded by moving the following amendment to thfa resolution : —
" That it ia the opinion of thiBmeeting that the many evils cf "which the working classes of Britain have to complain arise principally from class legislation , a' d vill continue to exist , in one form or another ,, until the whole male population above twenty-one years of age , be in possession of the right of electing men to represent them in the House of Commons , sccordine to the plan of representation , denominated the People's Charter ; and , being convinced that the repeal of any bad law -would fail to remedy the existing distress—( so long a 3 the power of law making re 3 ta in the br . ads t f the middle and higher classes alone)—and that ir -would be a profligate -waste of the means and energies of the people , and . a mockery of their miseries to agitate for anything short of the full measure of their rzhts , hereby resolve to agitate for the enactment intoj . iw of the People ' s Charter , and to give n < countenance , or Eupport to any movement for a Jess measure of justice . " ( Great cheering . )
Mr . W . Davidson seconded the amendment . He urged the people to be firm and rely upon themselves , as they could expect no support from either Whigs or Tones . Mr . Peikekis supported the amendment . Ths Chairman then took the vote , when the hands of the vast multitude were raised for the amendment , and few , very few indeed , agiinst it . Tne Chairman declared the amendmert carried by a large majority ; we should say by at leas : fifty to one . His announcement of the vote was received "with rapturous applause , which lasted for some minutes . The Chaibmas wished to know if Mr . Duncan intended to embody the resolution ir , a petition " . Mr . DracAs said he had bo objection , and moved a resolution accordingly .
The anti-Corn Law party then in =: sted thattte spirit of all the resolutions should be embraced hi the petition . This was objected to by the Charti 3 ts . Alter some discussion , Mr . Duncan withdrew his motion , and Mr . r * eterkin , Jan ., moved the adoption o . f a ¦ petit'on . embracing the sp-. ris of all the resolu--tfcjmi f fJluch was seconded by . Mr . A ' ex . Young .

On being put to the 70 te , the ajaendment was carried by a large majority . A clerk ^ being required to draw up the minutes of the meeting , Mr . John Hunter and Mr . James M'Pherson were severally proposed * On a vote being taken Mr . James M'Pherson was elected by a large majority . After a hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman for his impartial conduct in the chair , and three cheers for the Charter , the meeting quietly dispersed . This was truly the most important meeting held in Dundee since the commencement of our agitation . On its decision depended the existence of Chartism .
in this quarter , and it hag really decided this . It has strengthened us , secured our supremacy as tho leading and only political party , and verified the prediction of the Complete Suffrage seers , for it has not only destroyed them , but laid the last clod on the grave of the poor " corn craiks . " Add Dundee to the list of victories . Right has obtained over might ; let those who have not yet met the deluders follow our example . On our return from the meeting , we beheld the foolish display of the burning of Peel ' s effigy . Faugh ! Is this the " respectable" mode of agitation ? — — — - - - — — — — m m ^ . ^^^^^^^^^ fc—t j ~ — — ~ triffrr ^ rrer

SINCERITY OF THE ANTI-CORN LAW LEAGUE MEN IN THEIR ADVOCACY OF CHARTIST PRINCIPLES . Every week , and almost every day , is now big with events tending to prove that our advice to the psople to "take care of themselves" in the proposed and eagerly sought for alliance of their new friends , tjs Corn Law repealing "Extension " men , was founded on a clear and right view of the character of these worthies .
In our last , we noticed a great public meetiDg at Wolverhampton , in which it appeared from the faee of the resolutions , of the speeches , and of the whole proceedings , that " the entire animal" had been bolted without the least wincing . The Charter was acknowledged in the first resolution to be the first thing necessary to be gone for , as a means whereby relief from unjust legislation was to be had . The resolution was moved by ono of their first-rate men ; it contained no reference to any distinct agitation for Corn Law Repeal note , but referred to the Charter as the thing to be obtained . Here it is : —
" Tiiat the distress under which the people of this town and district are now—and have been for so long suffering—is caused by the laws which ret . tr : ct the importation of food ; that the ministerial proposal for the amendment of these laws adds insult to injury by its mockery of relief ; that the certainty of such amendment being carried by the majority of the members of the present House of Commons , is a proof of the necessity of putting an end to these and other evils of class legislation , Dy such extension of the franchise as shall Becure to all ranks of the people that full , fair , and free representation , aa defined in the People ' s Charter , to which on tho principles of the constitution they are entitled . " The only other resolution , a memorial t : > the Queen , was of a precisely similar character ,
praying : — " That , as your petitioners have been denied justice by the House of Commons as at present constituted , they beg that your Majesty wiJi take such measures a 3 shall secure to your people a full , fair , and free representation , as defined by the People ' s Charier . " This memorial was seconded by a Mr . Kettle ; and a very pretty Chartist kettle he boiled . We have not read a more excellent Chartisi speech this long time than than this same Mr . Kettle ' s speech , as reported in the " Plague's" organ , The Staj }'< jrdshire Examiner , save that it smacks a leelle too
strongly of Baillie Jarvey ' s " het poker . " That from a newly converted Whig is a thing of course ; and it was beside so nicely " bevilled off" that it might pass , upon the whole , for a very capital initiatory Whig-Chartist introduction to tiie Bchool of peaceful agitation . Take a sample of it from the Plague's organ : — "From all he had witnessed during his time , he was now convinced that the representative system was defective ; and that nothing but a full , fair , and free representation of tho people could lead them to hope for any justice . The legislative and executive
in this country were based upon the principle of aristocracy , and that alone . Labour -was the only property not recognised by the constitution . The principle of aristocracy ha ' d been tried and found wanting , The intelligence of the age had condemned it . The aristocracy bad cried " no surrender . " Let the people shout back again " to the principle of aristocracy no quarter —( loud cheers . ) Tha repeal of the Corn Law wculd give them the key of the cupboard ; but Universal Suffrage would give them the key of the whole house—threat cheering ) .
They had that day fnlly and fairly taken up that question ; and it -would be for t , \ iem to say wheiV . tr thay were to go on with it—( cheers , and cries of " yes , yes' ") . Lot them remember that they had tried the constitution , and the pinch-point musi come soon . They all felt that they were upon the eve of great events— ( . hear , hear ) . Men had begun to contemplate thills that were not talked about . He was not an advocate for physical force ; but there must be a m ^ htj change , or the bonds of society will be broken a ^ undir /'
Now-we ask gravely if a fairer seeming coulu be asked fcr by tho people than that which this meeting exhibits of it hearty co-operation of ths " pla ^ ua" men with the Chirtists , a determined effort fcr " full , fair , 2 ud free representation" ? So adroitly were all things managed that Dm- y who was there said that : — " He and Lis brother Chartists _ had como there tra : day c ^ eteriuined , if any Jrickery had been practised , to ilovc an amendment ; but wheu he saw
men coining out honestly and jnstly , as the gentlemen around him had done , to obtain their rights then he would say all opposition ought to cease—to be buried and forgotten for ever . ' lie would say , let them ba peaceable , loyal , and just , above all things ; and constitutionally attend to their own rights . Let them go forth , aud they would obtain : he Charter . Let every man preseut join the Charter Assjociation . He was proud to see the unanimity ihit prevailed amongst the middle and working classes of this town . "
Certaialy if anything betoken unanimity , and be calculated to give tho appearance of sincerity to the proceedings of the " Plague" men , this meeting did do so . What is the fact ? What were its results ? Did it end in the whole be ? y of " respectable'' middle clars " Plague" men gohig down to tho Chartist rooms and enrolling their names as msmbera ] Weie the subscription lists to all the valuable public Chartist machinery for keeping up the agitation for , and ultimately securing "full .
free , and fair representation , as defined by the People ' s Charter , " immediately swelled out witl the contributions of their new-born allies , that the mutual desire mi ^ ht be speedily accomplished Not a bit of it ! It ended in Mr . Kettle ' s goinf down to the Chartist Room to tell the peopl < honestly that his speech in the afternoon had beer " all gammon ; " thai not withstanding his hatred o : class legislation , and his anxiety for tho principle : of the Charier , he had no purpose to have any o : her connection with the Chartists than to usi
them a 3 tools fof tho carrying of Corn Law Repea Hear him , as reported by the " Plague ' s" organ :-" Mr . Kettle proceeded to state that he was reluc tantly compelled to harbour such misgivings as t < prevent his formally joining the National Charte ; Association , until he should be better satisfied as t i-s Executive . Ha told them that he held in hi hand a publication bearing the authority of Feargu ; O'Connor , which conviuced him that that individua i Wis an enemy to free trade , and one by , or wit ] whom , no Corn Law Repealer , desiring to adop ' : the Charter as a means to an end , could consent t ' be led or allied . Mr . Kettle thea proceeded to reju j and comment on several of the extracts from th

Northern Star , which will be found in our leading article ; and concluded by declaring that , as he could not consent to attaoh himself to a party by whose recognised heads the motives and efforts of the free traders were abused , and by whom free trade itself was condemned , he must receive an unequivocal assurance that the Chartists bound themselves to no nieu ( Feargus O'Connor , or any one else , ) who pursued that course ; but that , on the contrary , they renounced the influence of all Buch persons , before he ( Mr . Kettle ) would complete the compact at issue . "
Now , whether is this fellow a greater knave or fool ? He professeB to seek the Charter as a means to an end ; that end being the repeal of tha Corn Laws ; he avows his conviction that the Corn Laws cannot be repealed until the people have that "full , free , and fair representation , as defined by the People ' s Charter , to which they are entitled by tho Constitution ; " he avowa his conviction that the Corn Laws produce all tho distress of the country ; that they must be repealed , and that they never can be repealed until the Charter has been got ; and yet he refuses to go for the Charter ,
because Feargcs O'Connob , and the Northern Slar , and some other . parties , have denounced the " Plague" as insincere in their agitation . ' Could he have furnished better evidence of that insincerity ; at all events as far as he is concerned ? If the Charter be the only means for Repealing the Corn Laws , and if tho Repeal of the Corn Laws be the one great thiogwanted , what need he care about any mischeivous influence of O'Connor andtheAVtficJTiS . ' ar / Surely the whole League , with its mighty array of w influence" and talent , and wealth , and its many , very many " best possible
instructors , are more than sufficient to counterbalance any nugatory influence which might be exercised by one man and one newspaper ! Where then is the migbty boggle I The rognes know that they dont meau to go for the Charter at all ; that they mean only , if possible , to " gammon the flats , " ar . d they know that while the influence of Fead » us and the Star continues they can ' t do it ; they will be too closely watched ! Hence the organ of this Mr , Kettle , the " Plague" man—the Staffordshire
Exa-77 iiner , —in the very same paper which reports this meeting , occupies four mortal columns , exactly oneseventh part of his whole paper , with a laboured and most villanously Jesuitical justification of the course- pursued by Mr . Kettle , designed to quieten the consciences of the more honest of their followers , and to perEuade them that though they voted for the Charter , and introduced it into their memorial to gull tho Chartists ; that though they have : —
Apparently ( tho italics are his own ) extended the rij ; nt hand of political fellowship and bent the knee of political obedience to the disciples and paid agents of the monopoly-supporting Feargus O'Coii nor—to the approvers of the blood-spilling Frost , Williams , and Jone 3 , and to the perpetrators of the Tory-fermented disturbances at anti-Corn Law meetings . * * * * * * The rational arid consistent Reformers of this borough are no more Chatitists or less resolute Corn Law Repealers than ever they were "
Now , then , Chartists ! what say you to your new allies I Did we not tell you that they were " pigs with soaped tails" ? ! Wolverhampton is not the only instance of this honourable dealing of tho new converts to Chartism and " Complete Suffrage . " At Hudderofield , in like manner , they sought to carry with them po pular sapport by uniting the Suffrage with the Corn Law question , in precisely like manner—as a means to an end . Their sincerity here , as at Wolverhamp " ton , appears in its true light when viewed in connection with tho following placard , plentifully distributed on the day of meeting : —
" Cohn Law Repealers . —Whatever resolutions you adopt this evening , respecting the Suffrage , take care that you do not let that question take the place of Free Trade and' Cheap Bread . If you should sink agitation for the Repeal of the Bread Tax , in agitation for the extension of the Suffrage , that Tax , with all its disastrous consequences ^ must continue for some year ^ . But if you can honestly and cordially unite for an agitation of tho two objects disti ? lCt , YOU A . IIE SURE TO SUCCEED IN GETTING RID of the bread tax in a very short time . "
However , the Huddcrsfield " lads" met them well and bravely ; their " Completo Suffrage " ' humbug , with which they hoped to get , in the thin end of the wedge , was rightly shivered by Clayton , with his amendment"That it i > the c piniou of this meeting , that to secure a real , 'full , free , and fair representation of the whol-j people in the Commons' House of Parliament , ' the whole of the principles contained in the People ' s Charter , viz : Universal Suffrage , Vote by Ballot , Annual Parliaments , No Property Qualification , Payment of Membero , aud Electoral Districts , must become the law of the land , the whole of which are requisite and necessary to secure a real and efficient representation . "
The people showed that this was their opinion by leaving the humbugs with just four hands to clap each other , and keep out the cold for their "Complete Suffrage" move . The thin end of the wedge having been thus disposed of , Clayton again let fall the sledge-hammer of Chartism upon the thick end by moving , as an amendment to Mr . Copstack ' s motion for a continuance-of the Corn Law agitation , " That the agitation for the whole Charter take precedence of all other agitations . " This floored the hypocrites at once , and left honesty triumphant . So let it be in every place and our cause is safe , and liberty shall shortly greet us with her invigorating smile .
W c are happy to perceive that our counsels have not been slighted . The people have , in almost © very place , recovered the falso step they made in ono or two places , of joining with the traitors . Tno Mertliyr Tydvil people , at a full meeting , held on Monday evening , re 3 olved" Thai every approach towards an union with the Corn Law League must be regarded aa a direct step towards a betrayal of the Chartist cause ; and that every public meeting which neglects to affirm the adoption of the People ' s Charter as the only remedy for the distresses of the people must be considered as compromising the great right of the working classes to a share in the making of the laws . "
This is the true position for the people ; and the enly safe one . And though in one or two places the English Chartists have suffered their national failing of good nature and unsuspectingness to betray them half into the toils , the Scotch lads are wide awake " to it . All glory to the men of Dundee 1 The " canny Scots" have done it well ! We have seldom been more delighted than we were on reading the report which appears in our present paper of the utter overthrow , discomfiture , and annihilation of the " corn craika" by the "bonnie lads" oi Dundee . They were , indeed , well met ! Every fold of the foul serpent was laid open—every trick foiled ; a more perfect triumph could
not have been obtained ; nor do we ever remember to have seen a display of more wily and well arranged tactics than those of the Anti-corn Law men on this occasion . They first felt their -way through the medium of their friends , the " complete suffragists "—they then tried ' the artful dodge" of moving resolutions merely de nunciatory of the evils of bad legislation , without pledging even to any future line of conduct , in the hope of getting the blind side of the meeting by embodying , not the resolutions , but the sp ' wit cf the resolutions , in the memorialthe formal voice of the meeting ; which would have enabled them to breathe into those resolutions the foul ipirit of patchwork , in tho form of an exclusive or unduly prominent
prayer for Corn Law Repeal . It was a deep trick , well played , and cleverly stopped . We fear nothing for tho people with so much quickness and good sense about them , as this and the Huddersfield meeting shew . We defy any set of sophists , or tricksters in the world , now , to " palaver" them out of their watchfulness . They will keep to the right road , and they will compel all travellers to go with them or stand out of the way .

Public Fufds . —To prevent mistakes , let it be especially noted , that' -all monies received by our Cashier for the various Chartist funds are acknowledged by him in the column of " Notices to Correspondents , " and that he is ' . answerable only for the sums there advertised to have been ^ received . Money Orders to ' .-this Office . —Our cashier is frequently made to endure an amount , of inconvenience utterly inconceivable by those who have not multifarious transactwas like his to attend to , by the negligence of parties not attending to the plain instructions so often -given , to make all money orders sent here payable to Mr . John Ardill . Same orders are made payable io Mr . O'Connor—some to Mr . ffobson—some to Mr . Hill—some to Star Of&eo i all these require the
Signatures of the person tn whose favour they are drawn before the money can be got . This causes an attendance at theypost-office of , some times , several hours , when a few minutes might suffice if all were rightly given—not to million the most vexatious 'delays of payment sometimes caused by it . Several old agents , who certainly ought to know better , have often thus needlessly inconvenienced us ; we ' , therefore ^ beg that all parties having money to send to the Star Office for papers , by order , will make their orders payable to Mr , John Ardill ; if they neglect this , we shall not hold ourselves bound to attend to them ; if , there for e \ they find their neglect to produce inconvenience to themselves , let' them fiot blame us .

" Brother Democrats , —It is my painful duty to address you upon matters appertaining to myself ; a task to the man of sense always unpleasant , * but the more so , when , as in the present case , duty , not only to myself , but to the cause of democracy , demands that I should speak of othei' 3 also , who are employed in sapping tho strength of our organizition , by calumniating the characters of those in whom the / people confide , and look up to as their leaders in their struggle for right and justice .
A few remarks npon tne proceedings at the late meeting in Paradise-square , are necessary j at that meeting Messrs . OUey and Gill supported a resolution for universal suffrage and tho ballot ; 1 seconded an amendment for the Charter , whole and entire , -which , thanks ( to the sound principle and sterling honesty of the people was carried by a triumphant majority . By way ef excusing themselves for the false position they hid taken up , Messrs . O . tlcy ' and GUI stated that the resolution -which they supported hiid been promised support by myself and others , and that we afterwards ratracted that promise ; that they , Messrs . Ot' . ey and Gill being honourable ' men , valuing their reputation and their word , would not do the same , hence they supported the resolution . Now hear the ^ facts of the case . ' . ' . ' ¦¦¦ ¦ ¦ ¦
It is true that on the Tuesday eve preceding the meeting in the Square , a hasty and reluctant assent -was given by certain members of the council to the said resolution ; but the folly of the step was seen almost as soon as taken , aud at a general meeting of the council held next day , it -was resolved that the . sense of the Association at large sheuld be taken that evening , and that , in the interim , tho hasty and ill-advised decision of the previous evening should be annulled . A meeting of members and friends of the Association : took place in the evening , at which there could not have been less than five hundred persons present , when , with the exception of three or four individuals , the said resolution was unanimously condemned , . and it was resolved that an amendment for the -whole Charter should be proposed -whenever the meeting ( not then announced ) should take place .
Messrs ; Gtley and Gill condemn the council for having first promised a certain thing and then retracting their promise . The doctrine of these gentieniehis , that the council having done a certain thing , no matter whether right or wrong , the Association ia bound to submit ; a doctrine more subversive of the " sovereignty of the peeple , " was certainly never yet broached by Whig or Tory . Suppose we had a House of Commons elected by Universal Suffrage , vrho , in their legislative capacity were guilty cf some erroneous Or tyranical act , according to Messrs . Otley and Gill the people arebouoii
to submit becauso they have elected that House of Commons . I th ! nk different ; my creed is ; that the people can never be divested , or diveat themselves of their natural and rightful tovereignty , and that when their representitives fail to do right it is tlie prerogative of the people to over-rule their decision . Acting upon these principles , the Council submitted their vote to the Association ; by it that vote was condemned . The course to be pursued was marked out by the Association ; and , in taking the part myself and others did take in tfee Square , we but obeyed the voice , and carried out the will of the people .
. Messrs . Otley and Gill would fdn have had you believe that it was a high sense of honour on tfeeir part that compelled them to support the Whig-concocted resolution ; to believe them , they expected help instead of opposition from myself and those who aited with me . Sweet innocents ! What are the facts of the case . ? . : ; ' .. ¦;¦ . ¦¦ -: ¦ ¦ ¦ . ' ..- .. ' '¦ ' / - . ' . ¦ ' V . . ' \ ' - ' -.:- ' . . ;; . On j Wednesday , the 16 th , ( two days before the meeting , ) by half-past two o ' clock , Mr . Otley bad placed in his hands a letter stating that the Council had annulled the vote of the preceding evening , and that the whole matter would be brought before the Association . In the letter Mr . 0 / was requested ; to summon his Council or Association for tlrit evening , to know tho dtcisien of the Assotiat oa meeting in Fig-tree lane . Here was due notice given to Mr . Otlty that the vote of the previous evening had been rescinded by the Council , and that the Associati in would probably do the

same . What did Mr . Otley do ? Did he come to the meeting in Fig-tree Lane , to leam tha sentiments of the people ? No ; but a meeting wo * held at the : ¦«« . Political Institute , " and the parties there assembled were , by Messrs . Ofcleyy Gill , and Co ., pledged to support the humbug resolution . But I maintain , that independent of the decision of the Association , the council was not bound to abide by ita original vote ; that vote was agreed to npon certain conditions , the conditions were , that the Com L * w Repealers , as a body , should give their support to the resolution ; was those conditions fulfilled ? NO ! True the resolution was supported by Mr . Palfreyman , ( where , —aye where is Holberry ?)—by the illustrious Mir . Wardle , by the patriotic Mr . Harvey , of Chartist
Camp-meeting notoriety , who has been " all things by turns aud nothing long , " and by certain " go-betweens , " to wit , Mr . "New-move" Allen and Co . But , did Mr . Ibbetson and the other " great guns" of the Anti-Corn Law men promise their support of the resolution ? ( Mr . Ibbettson will tell you , you are '' too ignorant for the suffrage . ? ' ) Did the body of the Com Law Repealers promise their support ? Did , or will , their organ the Independent , give the resolution Its support ? No ! no ; H > re then the original conditions were not complied with ; Messrs . Otley and Gill knew this ; what humbug then on their part it was to talk their high-flown stuff about " honour" and ' ' reputation , " when , as their acts testify they were consigning you mex to the Whigs , who would deceive and betray yon again , as once too often they have done before .
I have now a few words with Mr . Gill particularly To believe this gentleman be is the most disinterested of politicians , and altogether above the thought of living by agitation , or accepting of anything from the people in return for his very important service ? . I do not think this gentleman worth . any recrimination on my part , or 1 might show that Mr . Gill's services have not been , and are not of that disinterested character he would fain have the public believe . Mr . Gill thought proper to denounce me as being the paid tool of Feargus O'Connor . On the spot , and before he had time even to turn found , I challenged him to meet me at the close of the business for which the meeting had been convened , and there make good , if he could , his insulting calumny ; but , where was he When called for ? The bird was flown ; like some zerial sprite he had vanished ! " Tell it not in Gath , " the valiant denunciator had prudently withdrawn by a back dosr . ¦ ' ¦ ¦ .. ' .-..,.. '¦ ¦' . ¦ ¦ '
My friends , it is quite true , that I am employed by Mr . O'Connor as reporter , or correspondent for the Northern Star , an occupation of which I am apt at all ashamed . I maintain I have as much right to re ceive payment in return for my services , as any cutler has to receive his wages at the close of his week ' s work . What sort of a tool I am to Mr . O'Connor , I leave you to judge , when I solemnly assure you that during the six months , I have filled the situation , I at present hold , I have not received a single letter , or solitary line of a letter from Mr . O'Connor . Mr . Gill had boasted , in his private coteries , of what he could do—and what he would do ; that he could make rue a pill I would not swallow , &c &c . I now tell him that my publie and private character will both dare and bear comparison with his . I repeat my challenge , if he has any charges to prefer against me , let him meet me in Paradise Square , and there , before the great body of the peeple will I confront him .
Mr . Otley , too , has made " more free than welcome " with my name -, but , wiser in his generation than his f . iend Mr . Gill , he has confined hifl slanderous statements to his own shop . I know that he has repeatedly slandered mo as being , or haviDg been "in the pay of the Tories . " : ' . ; . ' ¦ ¦" : '¦ : ' At last I have the means of naming time and place . In his own shop , en Tuesday , the 16 th of February , he there stated , iu the presence of the under-named persona , " That Harney , and other Chartist leader ? , were , or had been , in the pay of the Tories ; that he strongly suspected O'Connor was in their pay •¦ ' and always had suspected it since he wrote his letters to the Irish Landlords . " . : The persons who will testify to the foregoing , ' are Messrs . Clarkson and Fry , of Sheffield , and Mr . Wm . Jones , the NorthrKiding Lecturer . I shall ba very brief with Mr . Otley ; I defy him to prove the truth of his dirty calumny .
. Ltt me whisper a word of cautlou to Mr . Otley , Jt his coitemptibie cry— " in the pay of the Tories" is continued to be raised against honest men , it may be that '* . the parties raising that cry , will theiUsdves be suspected by the people of being » Vt the pay of the Whigs ! Brother Democrats , whyam . I slandered as being "in the pay of the Tories ? " Because I will not dp the pirty work of the Whigp . Why am I denounced as being tho " paid tool of Feargus O'Connor ?" .. Because 1 will not be the ' tool" of the humbugs who would sell you to the bloodiest and most hypocritical of factions that ever cursed a country with their existence .
Friends and Brother Chartists the foregoing will have shown you that while the blows of faction are seemingly aimed at me , they are intended to strike down one higher . and of more importance to the cause , than myself ; it is your incorruptible , unflinching champion O Connor , whom these factionists would destroy . Thank God they will miserably ; faiL But "to be forewarned is to be fore-armed . " Can these men be Chartists who would destroy him who haa brated the Btorm of persecution , and resisted every seduction to betray you ?
No , brothers , uo ; Ilia eaemlos and denunctatora are not to be trusted , they are WhJggish to the hearts' core . Look at the Independent of Saturday last ; see the contempt with which those who really represented you at the Paradise Square meeting are treated ! while Hisier Otley and Mister Gill are held up as the leaders of " the intelligent division of the Chartists of Sheffield , " I wish these gentlemen ( the aforesaid Misters ) joy of the raptures they must feel in the embrace cf their new " doxy , " the loathsome old hag , Whiggery . .
Brother democrats , from the first day I set foot in Sheffield , to the present hour , my destruction has been sought by the faction meeting at the Whig trap , alias the Poiitical Institute . I have tried concession and conciliation too long . Henceforth , I treat them as ( what I take them to be ) enemies of the cause and of myself . With my past public life , and my every act and word , since I became a resident in Sheffield , to testify to my integrity , I hurl defiance in their teetti , and rely with full confidence upon the support of the people , in whose service I have struggled ana suffered , whose cause I have never betrayed .
To conclude , never in the annals of our movement stood ChartUm in the proud position it now occupies ; but beware ,, lest this seeming hour of our triumph should be the hour of our fall . The middle class are becoming converts to our principles . ' Good . But , see that they become real , not sham converts . If they propose to go with you for one jot leas than the whole Char ter , have nothing to do with them . I they swallow the whole Charter , but make it a secondary object to the * Corn Law Repeal , have nothing to do with them . If in joining you for the Charter , they tell you it
is necessary " to get rid of your present leasers , " haye nothing to do with them . If * . they-are honest they wi 1 join you for the whole Charter—they will consent to make it throne object of agitation , as a means to an end- ^ . ind , lastly , they ' will be content to fight under those who have been elected the leaders of the people . The middle class are powerless without us . The question then is , shall we put forth our giant strength merely to serve the interests of a class , or to wrest by one God-like effort the '' rights of man , " from those whose empire is built on the " wrongs of man . " Can you hesitate ? N » .
Men of the working class , your delivery ia in your own'ihands—t'ae freedom or slavery of millions yet unborn ' hangs upon your breath . By every . principle of virtue , by all your hatred of slavery , by all your hopes of freedom , by all your love of country and children , I invoke yen to be firm , unflinching- —in short , to Do your duiv . For myBelf , 1 nail tho flag of "No Surrender" to the mast , and though the good ship Democracy should sink beneath the fixe of open enemies and treacherous friends , my last cry , ringing above the waves of popular delusion should still bb ' Vive , vive laCharlc ! " : 1 um , Brother Democrats , Faithfully , yours , - Georoe Julian Harney . Sheffield , Feb . 22 nd , 1842 .
