      Mt Friends , —If , under the present extraordinary droumEUnces , I shall feel it a duty which I owe , as well to you as to myself , to extend this appeal to , what under other circumstances might be considered , an unreasonable length , I feel assured as * the importance of the case will plead my excuse T hare been a public man for many years , and throughout I bare endeavoured to act with a degree of consistency , which , under all and every circumstance , would enable me to render a / air and honourable account of my every public act ; and that to which I now desire to direct public attention is the subject of the recent arrest of myself and others associated with me . doubt

      Yon will , no , have observed the course which the whole press of the country , with the exeeption of the Observer and the Morning Advertiser , hat-e pursued since the recent outbreaks , and more es pecially the manner in which it has endeavoured to hold me up to public scorn , and universal reproba tion . The manner in which the London press has attempted to magnify the importance of those ch arge ? , which are yet to be preferred against me , bewiens a degree of recklessness and vengeance unparalleled in any country . As I am aware , therefore , that you will require from me an explanation , in asmuch as were the charges well founded , they wonid be at variance with my every act and every recomm endation to the people , I now proceed to lay the whole b efore yon , not being able io proceed to Hanchesrer for the purpose of learning the exact nature of the offence with which I stand charged . I ha ve merely gleaned from the warrant that it is conspiracy and Bedition , and that the time at which the offence is laid is on the 17 th of August .

      Le ; us now consider whether or no , from tie very nature of the delegate meeting , held upon that day , the purpose for which it was called , and the mode and time of electing the delegates thereto , can by possibility be tortured into a charge of conspiracy and sedition . Conspiracy implies secresy to a certain extent , while there was no secresy whatever , either in the mode of electing the delegates , the time of their election , the purposes for which they were elected , or in the publication of their acts . The country is perfectly aware that several delegates were elected many weeks before auy outbreak took place , they were openly elected at pnblic meetings called for that special purpose , the duties aligned to them were to consult as to- ^ wheth er or not there was anything deficient , or requiring

      alteration in the rules and regulations , by which the Chartist movements were ordered' and governed , as also to revise and r- t the accounts cf the Executive Committee . . , day appointed for their assembling was the 16 th day of August , a day which for twenty-two year 3 has been held sacred in Manchester by some popular demonstration . Had it not been for that occasion presenting itself , it is pore than probable that no snch delegate meeting would have taken place . In compliance , however , with the request of the authorities , not only was the intended demonstration abandoned , &ut the meeting which was to ha ve taken place in the Rev . Mi . Scholefield ' s caapelyard , was also given up , and the delegates . assembled ok the 16 th in the most public manner , and ia

      the most public part of Manchester . As a matter of course the awful circumstances arising out of the stoppage of the several mills , presented themselves as subject matter for the consideration of the delegates . I was not aware of the place of meeting until between two and three o ' clock , when I proceeded there , and being recognized was followed by several thonsand persons who remained congregated outside , and owing to the excited state of the town , the landlady of the house requested us to dissolve the meeting , which was immediately done . The subsequent proceedings , without reservation , were openly published to the world on the following S&turdav , the 20 ib . The delegates met with opeD

      doors , reporters were admitted , and , in order that our proceedings might be perfectly legal , we refused to receive deputations from other bodies , who waited npon ns , while , without asking any- questions , all were unreservedly admitted . From a perusal of all that tcok place , and which was published on the following Saturday , it will be found-that while the delegates very properly expressed their sympathy for those poor fellows , who were subjected to the dread alternative of starving , or working at a rednced rate of wages ; yet did they never recommend the people to strike work , although they highly approved of the temperate and constitutional resistance with which all determined to meet the unjustifiable reductions proposed by the masters .

      Now , what of secrecy or conspiracy appears throughout the whols transaction ? And . how , in the name of common sense could those who were elected fox manv weeks before the outbreak took place , and after " whose dispersion tumult and riot almost instantly ceased—how , I ask , can those delegates be charged even with impropriety of conduct 2 It must be borne in mind that the tumult had taken place , and had nearly run its course before the 17 th « f August , and that after the 20 th , the day on which the proceedings were made known , scarcely a single act of violence occurred . I am minute in laying these matters before you , because , was I justly chargeable with any act of conspiracy , or even of secrecy , it would be at variance with my everv recommendation to the people . You will bear

      in mind that the two things against which I have ever cautioned you , have been joining in any secret association , or having any recourse to physical force . And although I have been grossly misrepresented , especially upon those two points , yet , with what pride and satisfaction am I now enabled to appeal to those to whom my caution has been valuable , who have profited by my advice , and who will bear testimony to my unceasing endeavours to save the people from those two great enemies to their cause . 1 hold it that the free expression of public opinion is the saftty-valve of society , and that when any attempt is made to suppress , or unconstitutionally to shackle it . angry feelings , grievances , and disappointment , will seek another and a more dangerous vent . When principles , no matter however at

      variance they may be with those by which society is governed , are allowed to be freely and boldly expressed , they never become dangerous . If they are revolting or heterodox , judgment and proper feeling will very speedily suppress them , while if they are consonant with the opinions of the majority , i ; becomes dangerous , unjust , and unconstitutional , to silence them by brute force . Bence we find that , in the olden times , when EngliEhmen were allowed freely to express their opinions , the crotehsts , dogmas , and peculiar notions of individuals or of a class , met a speedy grave , to which want of public sympathy consigned them . And , in truth , never did man express a more glorious sentiment than that of Junius , wherein he says : " I like those pnblic meetings ; they are as the hue and cry , they warn us against the thief ' s

      approach , and prepare us for hi 3 reception . " Behold how different the case is in France , where the people have cot liberty to meet . What do we find there ? Instead of public opinion directing the majority to legitimate action , we find the thief approaching stealthily , and without notice of bis coming . There the dissatisfaction of a single club , the discontent of a few of a single school , or a single college , creates in imeuie , which threatens society with revolution and destruction . There all may go to bed in peace , and awake in disorder ! The raising of a single barricade _ becomes a standard under which all the evil passions , as if by magic , marshal themselves , rio question as to whether the quarrel is just , no fxammarion into the causes which have led to it ; it is sufficient that that illegitimate control by which the public has been circumscribed is attacked .

      Jnow , my friends , let me for a moment direct your attention to the following facts . In _ 1839 , the "tigs made an assault upon public meetings , when ifistamlv pnblic opinion , or rather the angry feelings * f a section , fcond Tent in the establishment of secret associations . This fact came to my knowledge , and our Scottish brethren will bear me out in the truth of what I am about to submit to yon . A delegate for the purpose of establishing secret societies was sent into Scotland . I heard of his fission , and proceeded to eTery town through which he had passed , cautioning the people against so dangerous an experiment . I succeeded , and saved thousands from destruction . I now come to that period immediately preceding the dismissal of the operatives from their work . Yon will recollect

      that in many districts , and especially in North Lancashire , Sunday meetings becam e prevalent ; and at many of those meetings the provincial press reported most inflammatory speeches , said to be delivered by leading Chartists . Some mills , were burnt , and considerable excitement prevailed . I had long promised to visit North Lancashire , and B hearing of those circumstaBces , I fulfilled that promise ; and what is still more extraordi' E £ Iy , I did so at the express desire of those masters , who entertained apprehensions for their property , and who appeared to have formed a jnst estimate of my real Bentiments . I traversed the whole of North Lancashire . I tranquillized the P&blic min d of that district , and left it under the jnpression that so far I had dispelled prejudice . The thousands of all classes who heard meyWill bear in mind that I hinted at the probability of the

      present strngglg , and that I emphatically caudoned the working people to fold their arms , and take no part » it . After my visit , disorder vanished as if by »* Kie , when I made a torn of Yorkshire , aad what happened there 1 At Bingley , I was actually « f » rged -in the mreseneeof thousands , with being in " «> pay of the Tory Government , employed for the {"" pose of keeping the working classes from an ontwak . Subsequently I made a tour of Nottinghamshire , and there I propounded the same doctrines I had Wed from Mr . Aeland , while at Halifax , vaX the mills were to be stopped upon a given day , * s a nitsEs of forcing the repeal of the Corn Laws I knew the length to which men , many of whom were on the verge of bankruptcy , would go to stave off ihe evil day . I was aware of the effect which the fascinating assurance of " high -wages , * heap bread and plenty to do , " would have upon

      the starving millionB . I knew that the experiment would be made , and that having refused to assist directly in it yon would be indirectly forced as auxiliaries to it . In Nottingham , as in North Lancashire and Yorkshire , I cautioned you against entering into secret associations or joining in any physical encounter . Such , then , having been the general tenor of my life , can you , or can any one , having common sense , suppose me fool enough thus to destroy myself by annihilating the very force , upon which my prosecutors and persecutore would now hold me up as relying npon ? Having now disposed of eo much of my subject , and if the whole of a man ' s character is to be taken in proof of his excellence or debasement , let me direct your attention to the the siamni ? niilliATiH- T Imow ft »« t * v »» nw « A « c MK i .

      mean , the foul , the malicious , and scandalous attempt , made by the Times on Monday , to stamp me not only with all the political delinquency wmch my prosecutors would heap upon me , but , further , to present me to its readers as the plunderer of the working cl&sBes , In its report of the Stafford proceedings , that print states that great disappointment was felt in consequence of the non-arrival of Mr . Feargus O'Connor , Treasurer to the Defence Fund . Conld charge be more base ! or insinuation more foul ! for had not the ignominious writer learned from my own letter , in the Evening Star of Saturday last , that I had forwarded to Stafford , for the defence of the prisoners , a sum larger in amount than I had received up to that period t Now , my friends , the whole case is before you , and

      it is for yoa to deliberate and decide , while my mind is made up , both as to the rectitude and openness of my past conduct , as well as to my future course . For many years I haTe been the bntt of faction , because I have unswervingly adhered to my principles , through all tho 3 e trying and dangerous scenes which have passed before us . It is as constitutional for me and my party to oppose the principles of Whigs and Tories , as it is for Whigs and Tories to oppose those principles which I constitutionally seek to establish ; while it is for you , the people , to Eay , whether or no , without form of law , without right or justice , or without more than the mere danger that misrule apprehends from my exertions , I am to be sacrificed for my undeviating advocacy of jour cause , and firm

      resolve to persevere in that course which has insured for me the respect and approval of the good , and the hatred of the vicious . These are no times , however , when man should think for himself alone . I cast an anxious glance at the situation of those many honest men who have been driven by their masters , and not by me , to seek refuge from poverty in a gael ; and even yet , my friendB , in the midst of that chaos and political confusion by which we are surrounded , I can turn with gladneES to my own reflections , and say here is a struggle continued for years by nearly a whole people , whose hands are unstained with blood . Ay ! thank God , my " destructive" and " deluded" followers , the historian who shall yet write the history of those days , when frenzy , madness , and prejudice shall have passed

      away , will be compelled to represent U 3 as " destractives" who only destroyed prejudice ; as " plunderers" who but sought the protection of the poor man ' s property ; and as " atheists , " " infidels , " and " unbelievers , " who sought to relieve the purity of religion from those scientific mists with which lust and avarice had surrounded it . Merciful Providence ! to what length can villany go beyond that to which the press has already stretched it , in its attempt to prejudice its readers against the Chartist body ! In order to create disgust and apprehension , and just at the moment when the judgment should be calm in order to arrive at Eound conclusions as to the guilt or innocence of those charged with political offences , we find the columns of that press teeming with a base and

      unfounded assertion that amongst our body was a conspiracy to destroy the Queen !! No doubt all these ingredients will be thrown into the cauldron by the prosecutors , and presented to the several juries , as the ultimate object of the Chartist body . Can the fiendish mind , set upon the bloodiest purpose , descend to meanness surpassing this ? No , my friends , poor as you are , and oppressed though you be , I have the consolation to know that there iB not one single secret association of Chartists through the land , nor is there a man in Britain , who ever hoped to arrive at his object through the blood of an innocent woman . My friends , you have doubtless read the foul and slanderous ar ticle which appeared in the Sunday Times of Sunday last , and from that you will have

      learned that there is no act by which the Tories coald sooner win the affections of the conductors of that print and its readers than by the torture and persecution of those friendswho have stood by your order . Bear in mind that it was that journal which assumed to itself the unenviable honour and notoriety of having first suggested the dreadful alternative of achieving " free trade" by a simultaneous stoppage of all the factories in the kingdom ! My friends , trace our warfare with this party throngh its several stages , and then ask yourselves whether it is right and proper , that those with whom we have battled for years in the field of political strife , should now become our persecutors and prosecutors , under the sanction and protection of that party which now rules the destinies of the country . Is not every man aware that the contest arose between capital a nd labour ? and that capital having failed to make laboub instrumental to its own purposes , then turned upon it

      to reap its disappointments in vengeance ? I have now done . I have not written this with my own hand , because I was incapable of the task , bnt it has been dictated from those lips which have never uttered a word to delude , or a sentence at variance with the dictates of a conscientious belief . And now , in conclusion , I have only to express a hope that as I never begged for myself , I may with more zeal be allowed to become a beggar in the cause of the poor and the oppressed . 1 have sect £ 50 to Stafford , and £ 20 to Chester , leaving little , if anything , in hand for the defence of those who are to be tried at Liverpool , and upon whose behalf it is my earnest appeal that you will eet this night apart for the good work by furnishing the means of procuring the best defence which the law will admit of , and transmit it forthwith either to the Northern Star or Evening Star Office , from whence it will be forwarded to the Defence Fund Committee now sitting at Manchester . 1 am , your faithful fritnd and servant , Feakgu 3 O'Coskos .

      APPREHENSION OF AN ANTI-CORN LAW MILL 0 WEE , AND SIX MORE CHARTIST LEADERS . ASHTON , Tuesday Morning , Ten © 'Clock . Throughout the whole of yesterday and Sunday the greatest excitement prevailed in the districts of Ashton-under-Lyue , Hyde , Dnkinfield , and Staleybridge , on account of several of the leading Chartists being arrested under warrants issued by the county magistrates . Great , howevtr , as the excitement was oe Sunday and the early part of Monday , it was increased in a ten-fold degree by the apprehension of Mr . George Southam , a millowner , and a well-known opposer of the Corn Laws . The prisoners , Thomas Pitts , William Woodreffe , Thomas Storah , John Bryeriy , George Welby , Geo . Johnson , and Mr . George Southam , a millowner , were yesterday charged before the Rev . R . S . Evans ( chairman ) , James Jowett and James Lord , Esqrs ., with seditious conspiracy at Ashton , and other places in the neighbourhood .

      Evidence was gone into to show the excited state of the district in the middle of August ; and also that most of the prisoners had attended and addressed different meetings of the people . The following is the evidence of a policeman : — John Robinson said—I am captain of the watch of this borough . On the 15 th of August last I attended a meeting on Thackray'B Ground , in Ashton . Abel Duke was Chairman . There might be between 4 , 000 and 5 , 000 people present . The prisoners Stoiah and Pitts were speakers , but none of the other prisoners were present . A person named Challonor was speaking at the time I went up to the meeting . He was advising them to be firm to the Charter " and the " wages question : " there were loud cries from the mob of " We'll have them both , or fight in

      blood np to the knees . " Challonor said , They must be firm and stand to their cause , and success was certain f that they " must not be afraid of spaniels , but stand or fall by the Charter . " On the 17 th of August I saw the prisoner , Pitts , at another meeting on the same ground . It was & large meeting , and he was one of the speakers . He gave a report of the proceedings of the delegate meeting at Manchester on the previous day . He told them that during the deliberations of the delegates the building was turrounded by special constables , but , notwithstanding , thej did their <* nty . At that meeting he said they ( the delegates ) h&d passed a resolution to cease from all labour until the Charter became the law of the land . A person named Robert Lee , also addressed the meeting , and declared he would have the Charter , whether by aaor * l or physical force .

      Three other witnesses having been examined , William Schofield deposed as follows—I am » cotton-spinner . On the flth of August I attended a meeting on Thackray ' s Ground . On that occasion the prisoner , George Southam , took the chair . He addressed the meeting and said he had come there to act as chairman , and he hoped every one would soon have a fair hearing . He then sat down , and a person named Pilling got up , and addressed the meeting at great length . Pilling proposed a resolution to the effect that we do not resume work until we obtain " a fair day ' s wage 3 for a fair day ' s work , " or the prices paid in 1840 . The resolution was seconded by another speaker , and the prisoner Southam put it to the meeting , and declared it to be carried unanimously . He said he was a Chartist , he was born a Chartist , and he imbibed the Chartist TJivaa n ^ a > «¦*?*¦*»« , » , *» v-- ^ i a .

      principles from his cradle . There was another resolution passed ; it was proposed by Pilling , That we should go to Manchester , and atop all the mills . " Pilling said it was a rainy morning , we had better go to our breakfastB , and come again at one o ' clock , and then proceed to Manchester . There was an amendment moved , " That we should go then , " and George Southam said , " There was nothing like time present—jou go to Manchester , and I'll lead you up . " Pilling then said , " As I am beaten , I must give in , but as you have got a cotton master at your head , yoa oannot take much hurt , so I will go home and get my breakfast , and follow you to Manchester . There was nothing before the meeting but the " wages question , " until Mr . Southam introduced the Charter and the Corn Law * The prisoner Southam said , if they would go for the total repeal of the Corn Laws , he would go with them heart and hand to any meeting or procession they thought proper to

      propose-Cross-examined by Mr . Hudson—I work at Backs and Co . 's . This morning was tho first time I was at the police-office to give my information . The meeting at which Mr . Southam presided was held on the 9 ch of August last , between six and nine o'clock in the morning . It was a very large meeting . Mr . Southam was seated on a chair when I saw him on the hustings . He did not refuse to put several resolutions , nor did he ever during that morning say anything about their illegality . I do swear that he put two resolutions to the meeting . One of them was not to go to worK until we got an advance of wages , and the other to go to Manchester and turn out the mills .

      Thomas Worrall was next put into the box ; he deposed—I am a power-loom weaver , and reside on the Manchester-road . I was at a meeting on Thackray ' s-ground , on the 9 ; h of August last . Mr . George Southam , the prisoner , was in the chair . Pilling proposed the first resolution , and after that another , to the effect that we should go to Manchester and stop the mills . The Chairman put both resolutions , and declared them carried . Pilling then advised them to go and get their breakfast , as it was a wet morning , and to come again and go to Manchester . But Mr . Southam said , " Yoa must go now ; you have no time to delay . I will go and get my breakfast now , and then I'll go with you and lead you on " or words to that efface . He also said , "We

      must have a fair day ' s wages for a fair day ' s work . A total repeal of the Corn Laws and the Charter with it , too . " Joseph Armetage was then called , and deposed —I attended a meeting on the 9 th of August , at six o ' clock in the morning , at which Mr . George Southam , the prisoner , was chairman . There was a motion moved and passed , which was to the effect that we should go to Manchester Exchange , and Bee i ? we could not do some business for the masters , as they had been a long time , and could nob do any for themselves . Pilling advised them to go home and get their breakfasts first , but Mr . Southam said there was nothing like the time present . This was the case for the prosecution .

      Mr . Hudson addressed the court on behalf of the prisoners for some time , and urged that no case had been made out to warrant the magistrates in sending them to trial . He would not call any witness on behalf the six prisoners ; but on the part of Mr . Southam he would trouble the court with some evidence . Samuel Elson was the first witness called for the defence . He deposed—I am an overlooker of power looms , and reside in Ashton-uHder-Lyne . On the morning of the 9 th of August I attended a meeting which was held on Thackray's-ground . The business had commenced when I-get there . As soon as I reached the place of meeting , I asked how it was that Mr . Southam was is the chair , and I was told he was forced into it . Mr . Hall objected to this evidence , as being second-handed . The Bench were of the same opinion , and it was consequently stopped .

      Examination continued—I was there when Pilling proposed the first resolution . The wording of the resolution was altered , and when put by Mr . Southam it was to the effect that the workpeople " ought " to have the prices paid in 1840 . There was nothing in tho resolution about a fair day's wages for a fair day ' s work . I positively swear there was no such resolution put to the meeting . The second resolution was put by Mr . Southam to the meeting , but he objected to put it in the form it was given to him . I believe the resolution was to the effect that they should go to Manchester , but Mr . Southam said it would be illegal , and therefore he would not put it to

      the meeting . He said those who had a mind might go to Manchester , and those who had a mind to stop at home might do the same . He never said a word about leading them up . I am sure he never said a word about going to Manchester . There was no resolution put to the meeting but one , and it was , " That thore who wished to go to Manchester might do so , and those who did not might leave it alone . " Cross-examined by Mr . Hall—I was five or six yards from the chairman . I made my way through the crowd . I did not go to Manchester , but I went home to my breakfast . I have been in the Court about an hour and a half . Of that time I have

      been half an hour talking to Mr . Southam in the dock . He did not tell me what to say . I am in Mr . Southam ' s employ , and I was with the other hands fetched out from my work during the turnout . I have attended several meetings during the turn-out . I do not know how many of these meetings I was present at . Mr . Joseph Spencer was the next witness called . Mr . Spencer is a bookkeeper in the employ of Messrs . Hindley and Hyde of Dukenfield , both anti-Corn Law men . He said I am a clerk and reside in

      Aehton . I was present at the meeting at which Mr . Southam presided . I do not recollect the date , but I belisve itjWas on the 9 th of August last . I was there from the beginning of the meeting . Some person proposed Mr . Southam as chairman , but it was four or five minutes before he took the chair . On taking the chair , he stated that he did not coincide with the course they were taking to obtain their object . Said that if any illegal proceedings took place , he , as chairman , would not be responsible for their conduct , as they did not go to the root of the evilthe corn

      , Mr . Hudson—You muBt answer my questions only . I have nothing more to ask you . Cross-examined by Mr . Hall—I have attended several meetings on Thackray ' s ground during the turn-out , but I cannot say how many . J cannot say exactly how far I was from the Chairman on the morning of the 9 th of August , bnt I should think about thirty yards . This being the whole of the evidence on both sides , the magistrates retired into their private room , and returned in about fifteen n . inutes . . .

      Mr . Evans said that after due deliberation they were of opinion that they vvere all cases for a Jury to decide , except that of Wilby , who should be bound over to keep the peace for six months , himself in £ o 0 . and two Eureties in £ 25 each . The other p risoners were then committed to take their trials at the forthcoming Special Commission , but they would all be admitted to bail , Johnson , Pitts , Woodroffe , Storah , and Bryeriy , themselves in £ 50 , and two sureties in £ 25 , and Mr . Southam in £ 100 , and two sureties m £ 50 each . Bail was forthcoming , and tbe prisoners wexe liberated .

Such committees would be also formed in all the

      other wards . Mr . C . called upon those present to assist in the object , and not to countenance any candidate who would not acknowledge the justice of the Chartist claims . Mr . Thorpe , with a few appropriate remarks , moved the following resolution , " That having taken into consideration the arrest of the Editors of the Northern and Evening Stars , for using , so called , seditious language , we feel convinced that the charge is a mere pretext to enable the government to cloak their real motives—the destruction of the . Chartist press . We therefore call upon all friends of freedom to stand forward and show to the factions that we will not tamely submit to have this last remnant of the people's right wrested from them , and rally round them and support them to the utmost of our power . " Mr . David Pott seconded it . Mr . Wellsford supported the resolution , and it was carried .

      David Pott , of Birmingham , has received from a few friends at Smethwick , 4 s . towards the Chartist Defence Fund . WARWICK . —The usual weekly meeting of the Chartists of this locality was held at the Saracen's Head , Park-street , and from the numbers and the increased subscriptions , it is evident that the rabid fury of our enemies has operated as a stimulus to greater exertion . The meeting was addressed by several new members , and the unanimous opinions entertained were to the following effect : —1 . " That the present malignant

      persecution of the Chartist leaders is a clear manifestation of the weakness and terror of the Government , and the malevolent spirit of the Corn Law Leaguers , whose friends and emissaries on the Magistrates ' Benches were now lending themselves to destroy the liberty of the people , and establish despotism for the sake of expediency . " 2 . " That all those evils should be borne with fortitude by the working men , who most cling more firmly together , as persecution will most certainly have a reacting influence in their favour , and nothing but their own supineness can possibly retard the progress of Chartism . "

      , XKAN 0 HESTER— Carfenters' Hall . —Persecution defeats its own objects ; the gross acts of tyranny , now of-every day occurrence , so far from answering the ends they are intended to accomplish , namely ^ the extirpation of Chartism , have had a diametrically opposite tendency .
