Beoxhes Democrats , —Events of a most extraordinary and awful nature &aYe transpired . during the last few weeks , through the influence of which , aided by the combined factious , Tory and Whig , those who have been foremost in the advocacy of the rights of mankind have been marked ent by-Sharpies of Government as fit objects for proseand exileAmongst those
cution , imprisonment , . who were foremost in the holy e&use of a nation s redemption , was to be found our worthy co-patriot and colleague , Peter Murray M'Douali , a stern , unflinching democrat , brsTe in times of peril , honest in his intentions , and of a sound and discerning jedzment . flaring carefully viewed the circumstances over , and seeing the necessity of filling np the vacancies that may occur from time to time in tie Executive Committee , we recommend to the country the following suggestions : —
. firstly—To take into consideration the necessity of filling up the vacant seats in the Executive , instanter . Secondly—Oat of the whole list of Candidate put in BominatioB , those . fire that have the greater number of votes to be held in reserve , and whenever there occurs a vacancy , the candidate amongst the five who had the greatest number of rotes to be called to the vacant feat , and so in succession until the last of the five should be called , if there should occur Euecessive vacancies . But in all cases the rightful elected member to resnae Mb seat if he is able and willing to do so . Brethren , we are aware that this is an addendum to the plan of organization . This Jine of policy , we believe to be in strict accordance with the principles of the people ' s Charter . But as this matter appears
to us to be one of very great responsibility , we must await with anxiety the Banction or rejection of these suggestions by the votes of the Association . As the pro tem . Executive have decided that Tuesday , the 25 th of October , shall be the last day on which candidates can be nominated , we are satisfied with their arrangement , and that the names shall be published in the Northern Star , of Saturday , the 2 Sth of October ; and instanter we expect the whole votes of the Association u to whether the members are satisfied with our proposals , the result to be published in the Northern Star on Saturday , the 12 th of November . Then the poll for the candidates to be taken . No return need be sent of polling for candidates after Tuesday , the 22 nd of November . The gross number of votes for each candidate will be published in the Star on Saturday , the 26 th day of November .
-Brethren , we rely on your discernment , your judgment , and yoor lore of liberty to carry into effect the above instructions . We remain , Your faithful Friends and Representatives , Jaubs Leach , President . Johh Cakpbkll , Secretary .

USA jIIKGTON . —At the usual weekly meeting of the Chartists of Warwick and Leamington , it was resolved , " That tne thanks of this meeting be given to the Execntive pro . tern , in the hope that they will continue in that office nntil the fate of the other members is decided . Twelve shillings was handed in for rafie tickets for the General Defence Fund ; half a crown for ditto , from Mr . W . of Warwick ; and five shillings for Mr . White ' s snpport . Money matters having been settled , an interesting discussion was held on ihe question— " What would be the duty of the Chartists in the event of the Corn Law League renewing their agitation f and ultimately the following resolution was unanimously adopted : — " That this meeting being convinced that the repeal of the Corn Laws would not benefit the
working classes without a repeal of many other bad laws and legislative protection for our labour , we , therefore , cannot sympathise with , or countenance the Corn Law League or any other party who will not agitate for the People ' s Charter , and" which , in our opinion , is the only means of securing evenhanded justice for the whole people . That we deem it the duty of the working classes to avail themselves of every opportunity that presents itself to propagate and defend the principles of the Charter , and to cultiTate public opinion in favonr of it by all peacefnl and legal means , by r easo n and arg um e n t , snd by their urbanity and rational conduct towards all those who may differ from them in opinion . That seeing the working classes are nnjustly deprived , of the right of citizenship and the use of-ibe public
buildings , for wMcb they are taxed and which are supported by their industry , we hold that wheneTer a public meeting is called in any building that h public property , for lecturing , " &c , they ( the working men ) Ehould attend and there maintain the right of the majority to approve of , or reject any chairman that may be proposed ; and that the usages of society requires a chairman to preside over all Each meetings ; bnt , in case of lectures being delivered in private buildings , we hold that such affairs should be regarded as private property , and that parties delivering lectures under such circumstances have an undoubted right to make what arraDgemen ' -s t h ey ple as e , and should not be interrupted . The discussion was sapported well by Messrs . i . awfred , Stanley , Grantham , Afgrns Wild , Donaldson , and others .
STB . OTJD . —In this town , as elsewhere , the friends of true democracy have had , and still condune to encounter , many difficulties , and opposition of no small magnitude . Our little crew ,- having suffered worst from want of employment , felt much discouraged and indifferent as to the result of their eTer obtaining their political rights . Our pilot being " Truth , " our helmsman " Justice , " and our eompas 3 " Love , " we waded on through many difflrallies , and partially passed through the cesspool of corruption , when we ventured to hoist the colours of true democracy ; and , nailing our colours to the oast , we have commenced battering down the tents of tyrants by means of subscription books being tikea into the camp of the adversary . We hope every maa of liberty and love to his country will make it a duty to contribute to so noble , so patriotic , and so good s cause . Mr . Millsom , of Cheltenham
lectured here on the 20 : b , and gave great satisfaction . If every man worked like him , the rights of the poor would speedily be obtained . Since he commenced lecturing , he has walked 1 , 600 miles at the expence cf himself . Our weekly meeting was held on Monday night , at the Globe Inn . The following resolutions were moved and carried unanimously : — u That we hail with delight the noble example shown by the men of London , and pledge ourselves to work wish them , to accomplish the g lorious -victory of right over might , of justice over injustice . "— " That we deem it contrary to the rules of the Association to elect a fresh Executive until the time is expired , which , according to Article 14 tb , is in February , 1 & 45 ; and that we consider the Executive pro tem ., in London , quite Efficient until snen time as the members of the Executive are at liberty to cooperate with it . "

TO THE CHARTISTS RESIDING IN THE COUNT ! OF SURREY . You will perceive below the amount of the expenditure of the late demonstration , and also the receipts . As there are many false reports abroad , by designing individuals , it is highly necessary that means be immediately taken by the various localities in Surrey to pay those individuals the amount due to them . Connected with this is , also , t b e lat e t ea party at the Montpelier . I beg to state that this is the last notice I shall give requesting all persons having had tickets to pay _ for the same . By withholding the names of individuals from the public I
have been blamed by many , although it has been done with the purest of motives on my part . Having bestowed so much time and labour upon this , I shall publish the balance-sheet in the next week's Star . A meeting of the members of Council residing in Surrey will take place at the Ship Tavern , Longlane , Bermondsey , on Wednesday , November 2 nd , at three o ' clock , on mattsrs of great importance . 1 once more request all persons holding tickets of the iheatre , residing in Surrey , to pay for the same ou or before Tuesday next .

MANCHESTER—Carpenters' Hall—On Sunday last , VIr . Thos . Dickinson , the Manchester Packer , delivered two powerful lecture * , in which he showed up the folly of attempting to put down the agitation for tne Chatter by the display of military , and the call i ng into requisition an unconstitutional police force , who act in the deuble capacity ef bludgeon-men and hired spies . Mr . Dickinson then gave a lucid description of the evils resulting from class-legislation , and showed most clearly that nothing but the adoption of the People ' s Charter would give anything like permanent relief to the toiling millions . The lecturer then
alluded to the connection between Church and State , and related several anecdotes in illustration of this part of the subject . He concluded by a feeling appeal on behalf of those parties who had been pounced upon by an arbitrary Government for their advocacy of the great and good principles contained in that imperishable document called the "People ' s Charter . " The afternoon lecture was well attended , and in tbe evening the spacious Hall was crowded , and the lecturer received the thanks of his numerous auditory , who retired hi ghly deli gh t ed , after a liberal collection had been made to meet the current expences of the Hall .

John MUler was . unanimously elected delegate to the Metropolitan delegate meeting , to co-operate with Mr . Maynard . A deputation was appointed to wait upon Mr . O'Connor , w ith a letter of condolence from the members , in bis late affliction , and also requesting his assistance in this locality at tbe first convenient opportunity . The thanka of the locality were given to Mr . Cleave , tot presenting as with fifty Pamphlets and one hundred Circulars , the proceeds to go to the victim fund . The evening was spent in discussing , in a friendly manner , the best means to be adopted to agitfke for the Charter in this locality . It is earnestly requested that all members will attend on Monday next , at half-past seven o ' clook , when a discussion will be opened , —What are the probable means to ba used to gain the Charter ?
Mile End . —This locality still continues weekly to increase in numbers . Spirited and enthusiastic lectures are delivered two or three nights in the week , each adding some new members to our ranks to assist us in the good old cause of Chartism , which , notwithstanding the recent persecution , holds up its mighty and unconquerable head above the waves of prosecution . Nkwinqton . —A numerous meeting of the Char-Usta of this locality took place at the Crown and Anchor , Walworth , on Tuesday evening last , when a very animated discussion took place . Several persona very ably addressed the meeting , which broke up at a late hour , highly satisfied with the proceedings . —Mr . Rainsley was announced ts lecture on Tuesday evening next , on the People ' s Charter .
BIRMINGHAM . —Aston street . —On Sunday ni ght , Mr . Cowan in the chair , after a long discussion , in which Messrs . Sanders , Linden , and Williams took part , a resolution was passed , requesting the council to convene a delegate meeting of the district , to consider the best means to he adopted for the obtaining a better organization . Gband anc Glorious defeat of the Anti-Cobn Law , and Complete Gdffbage LEAGUes . —The town having been plentifully placarded by the Anti-Corn Law League , calling a public meeting of the friends to cheap bread , for Tuesday night , half-pait seven , at that hour the public office was crowded to excess . On the secretary to the Anti-Corn Law Association , making his appearance on the platform , Mr . David Potts moved that Mr . Follows , hair dressor ,
Monmouth-street , take tho chair , which having been duly seconded , was carried unanimously , amidst r . ipturons applause . Mr . Follows said he hoped , as they had eiected him to the onerous office of chairman , they would allow every one a fair opportunity of expressing t hei r op inions upon the important matter they were called upon to consider . He then requested the secretary to read the placard calling the meeting . The Secretary of the BirmiDgbam anti-Corn Law Association then read tbe placard as desired , and proceed to state that , having been the chief instrument in calling the meeting , he co n side r ed it to be for the free traders only . Mr . Sanders said it was probable there were many persona present who did not Tightly understand what was meant by frea trade , and that it would be better for all parties to be beard ,
whether free traders or not , for that it vras only by discussion that truth was elicited . At this state of the proceedings , Mr . Bright , of Rochdale , and Mr . Paulton , anti-Corn Law lecturer , accompanied by two magist ra t es of tbe bo r on gb , ascended the platform . Mr . Smith Linden said , that he believed that certain parties who originated the meeting thaught by getting Mr . George White out of the way they could steal a march on the Chartiats , but he could tell them he was not afraid of Paulton , Acland , or any individual they could bring forward to defend and expound their nostrums . The Chairman then called upon Mr . Bright , who commenced by stating , that there was & time wheo , tb « e was only one party of reformers tin Birmingham , bnt be was sorry to find that they were now split up into sections . The
country used to look to Birmingham , as a centre , and he believed now , w ith Ma n ch e ste r , the two would do more than all the other towns in the kingdom . The latter , at present , took the lead , but would willingly resign the honourable position to the men uf Birmingham . [ Mr . Josh . Soholefleld , M . P ., here ascended the platform , and was received by cheers from the respectables , and a volley of groans and hisses from the working men , amidst cries of " Where's White ? " ] Mr . B . said they had all beard of the patters turnout at Ashton and elsewhere . Who had caused them ?; The Anti-Corn Law League had been instrumental in preserving the peace of the country daring the recent strikes . ( Great hissing , and cries of " Who stopped the mills ? " ) Many , he said , h ad been forced f r o m th e he land of their birth by the iniquitous Corn Laws , and
gavea long rigmarole story about Joseph is Egypt . ( 'Any old woman would tell us as much as that , " and great laughter . ) The meeting now showed symtoms of impatfeHce , and Mr . B . said had he beeuin Manchester he could have obtained a hearing . ( Cries of " Stephenson ' s cquare to wit 1 " ) Yes , he would tell them some thug about-Stephenson-square ; the disturbances which t ook place there were caused by the money of the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos , sent down by Dr . Sieigh and Charles Wilkins , barrister-at-law . They never would be prosperous without a repeal of the Corfa Laws . ( " The Charter . " ) He then made the most vituperous attack upon the leaders of the people it has ever been our lob to hear , charging them -with being ic the pay of a Tory government , whose tools they were . The meeting would hear no more , and Mr . Bright sat down .
Mr . Farkes , Christian Chattist , then rose . He thought the gentleman who had just sat down had taken up a deal of their time in useless rigmarole . He did not believe the parties advocating the repeal of the Corn Laws were honest If they were , why not assist the working men in getting tbe Charter , and then they could easily repeal tbe Corn Laws ? Mr . B . hnd said there was no other law which pressed upon the indue try of the working classes but the Corn Laws ; but he could tell him that the laws of entail and primogeniture pressed , heavily upon them . He would not give up bis right to the Suffrage , and he contended that the Corn Laws never would be repealed until we had the Charter . He said it had become fashionable with " gentlemen" of late to charge the working men with tyranny . Judge Tindal , in the recent trials ,
had done the Bame ; but those individuals may go a step too far in their abuse . He hoped they would go for nothing less than the Charter . Mr . Sannders , in a speech rep lete with good sense , moved the following resolution : — " That we , the inhabitants of Birmingham , in pnblic meeting assembled , do consider the cor n , provision , a n d e v er y o t her la w tha t presses on the industry of the people obnoxious , and ought to be abolished ; bnt that this meetiDg feels satisfied that they never will be repealed until the People ' s Charter becomes the law of the land . And we call upon all sincere lovers of liberty to use their utmost exertions in every ward to return members to the town
council pledged to carry out the above principle . " This was seconded by Mr . George Ellis , and carried with three dissentients , amidst great appinuse . The meeting was then addressed by Mr . Wm . Parkes and Mr . Linden , acd a vote of thanks was given to tbe Chairman . The Chairman in returning thanks , said he xraB sorry to have beard the working classes abused as they had been that evening by the Corn Law'party . After cheers for White , O'Connor and the Charter , the meeting quietly dispersed . So discouragiug was the reception the Leaguers met with , that though they had ahestof Bponters in the rear , they dared not bring more than one of them forward .
KIR&BEATON . —The Chartists of this place met on Sundr . y last , in their room , whtn the regular routine of business was gone throngh , and Mr . John Watkins was noiunsted as a fit and proper person to act on the ensuing Executive Committee .

V . —That in consequence of the Conference which is to be held at Birmingham , on the 27 th of December , not being convened , in accordance with the principles of Universal Suffrage , we cannot approve of the Chartists sending Delegates to take a part in its deliberations .
VI . —That we impress on the country the necessity and duty of raising a Fund for the defence of the Scottish Chartists who are about to be brought to trial , and for the support of their wives and families , and that after a sufficient sum has been collected for this p u rpose , that a National Fund be established to provide for the dt fence of all who may suffer for the advocacy of our principles , and all bums obtained for this purpose be sent to the Secretary , with instructions as to to how it is to be applied . VII That -we recommend the Chartists to maintain the sacred right of pnblic meeting against any illegal interference of arbitrary authority , by taking ca re to call them , on all occasions , in a proper manner , according to law , and when interfered with to take proper evidence of the same , and meet and take means to prosecute the parties , and-petition Parliament to impeach the Home Secretary who sanctions and supports such arbitrary infringements of onr constitutional rights .
VIII . —That we recommend that the members of the National Association pay one penny per month , to enable the Executive to carry on the business , and engage lecturers for the promulgation of our principles , and the advancement of the cause . IX . —That no lecturer be recognised or employed by the Chartist body unless he canproduce a card of membership , a n d a ce rt ifi c a t e of good moral character from tho locality to which he belongs . X Tba' no great object affecting the general interest of tke Chartist body be decided or acted upon by any mere section of it , unless tbe opinion of the whole has been consulted , and a decision given in its favour , through the medium of the officers appointed .
XI . —That we call on the people of Scotland in every town and village to raise money by subscription , and every other advisable means , to liquidate the debts incurred by the late Central Committee for Scotland , so as to relieve their worthy Treasurer , Mr . Ross , from the heavy liabilities incurred on their behalf . We also recommend the various committees to urge upon the agents indebted to the Chartist Circidar , to pay up their several accounts immediately , and to remit them to Mr . George Roas , Prince ' s Street , Glasgow . In the hope of a ready and loud response to our call , aware that yon feel the necessity of establishing an organ , and defending your opinion throngh the press , we present to you the
PROSPECTUS OF THE SCOTTISH CHARTIST PIONEER , TO BE PUBLISHED MONTHL Y , PRICE TWOPENCE . The " Chartist Pioneer , " as its name imports , will be unceasingly devoted to establish the principles cont ai n e d i n t he People ' s . Charter as the law of the land , not less from our firm conviction of the just rights of t he unrepres ent ed , than from our conscious feeling that tbe happiness of every class depends on tbe establishment of justice in all their political affairs or institutions . In pursuing this , cur determination , we will
not allow ourselves to be tempted to the right orjhe left into the crooked paths of expediency : firmly , but temperately , we will ever insist that the one great principle of equal right shall always take precedence of every other political subject , being convinced that it is vaiu to expect good laws from ' a faulty and unjust representation , and that knowing the machinery to be wrong and worn out , it is foolish to spend our time in altering and mending its imperfect work or produce , but that we should rather remove its imperfections , which are tho cause .
In conclusion , we ask every lover of Freedom , to ponder on the various circumstances connected with our position ; on the practical plans we here lay before him ; on the design of the publication announced in tho above . Prospectus ; and we are convinced that be will be no and ioing . Whoever wishes to labour in some good and " honourable cause , that his life should be passed in advancing bis country ' s good , and after death that his name shuuld go down to posterity in connection with sbinething great , glorious , and good ; let him remember that the earth presents no scene more sublime , nor man no attitude more ncble , than that of a person asserting his sacred rights , and struggling to be free from the bondage of oppression . Let every fireside and ¦ woikshao become the schools to leach these rights and
duties . Let mothers teach tfceir children the dark catalogue of the sufferinga at : d wrongs their fathers and themselves have borne , eo that they may bear the m < mory of them as lessons unto life ' s last briath- Let fathers think they ever see their children ' s tiny hands uplifted , tl . eir Wives' beating , breaking hearts and tearful eyes , craving and pleading their manhood with all the elequence of woe . to save them from slavery and its sorrows . Let the old hoary-headed man use his last remaining powers to urge the sacred duty ; telling those wound him that he deemed this advice tha richest legacy tie could leave them . Let young and old thus joining , breathe one fervent prayer to heaven for help and strength to break oppression ' s bonds ; scatter to the winds the power of mans destroyer ; and on their ruins build tbe Throne of Right and Justice unto ail .

FREE PRISONERS . Quistalid legendo temperet alachrymis . TO THE EDITOR OF THE HORNING CHRONICLE . ' Sir , —I will not offor yon any apology for this letter , for I think , that upon perusal , it will 08 found to contain matters which describe the oondition of the people of Scotland , more oloarly than any publication hae yet done , and that in consequence it must have the effect of arousing us all to greater pity and greater exertions in the cause of so many of our fellow men , who are enduring every extremity of woe . ; I extract from the seventh report , just published , on Scotland and the northern division of England . The first point is that which may be expected , that is , that the prisons are fuller than ever , owing to the universal distress . The next is an entirely new
fact—the springing up of a class who call themselves " free prisoners , " a term hitherto upknown , but sufficiently , expressive , as the sequel will Bhow . These persons are so entirely without hopo or prospect in this world , that on the expiration of their sentences they voluntarily constitute themselves prisoners ; gladly coasent to undergo separate confinement , ten hours of hard labeur , and the hardest fare , in exchange for the boon of the prison shelter . No less than forty of these reside in the Glasgow gaol for long terms , some a year , some a year and a half , some two years : they are orderly and exemplary in their conduct , submissive , industrious , and thankful , never onco crossing the prison thresholdnever complaining either of the monotony , or labour , or diet , and devoting to over hours of toil their othee time . .
Whatever may be thought of the lawfulness o this , its mercy is as paramount as its necessity ; foe if these voluntary captives be denied admission , they forthwith commit a crime , and the gates open bofora them . It imperiously declares the need of a better provision for the poor , than the scanty one now dolod out by the kirk session ; and it proclaims the humanity of the excellent governor , Mr . Brebner , who is described by some of his prisoners as a father more than as ' . ' a masteT . " Indeed , but for his interposition , very many must have sunk under tho extremity of their privations . . As , sir , you hava been compelled frequently to hold up to publio condemnation the stern oharacter of several governors of prisons , so will you do the just act of making kno . vn the merit of men like the governor of the > Glasgow gaol .
I proceed to give the evidence of a prisoner , which shows how incumbent it is to enact an efficient poor law for Scotland . It is given in her wordg , and heart-rending those words are : — " My parents were decent , honest people . I wad married very young to a sailor . When he went to sea he assigned me part of his wages every month . I had sore troubie after he left , for work began to get soaroe , and my little child fell ill . I went to tha agents to ask for my husband ' s pay , for I was sore distressed from grief and fatigue . The ship was lost off China ; all hands were saved ; but , as was ths custom in such cases , the wages were stopped . This was heavy news , irir me , for 1 had neither work nos money . I bore on for some time , trying to get wort , however trifling ; but there was no work to be had
for me and hundreds more . I had heard of a female htuse of refuge in Glasgow , and I detenninod to seek food and shelter ihere . I took my little boy in my hand , who is about nino years of age , and walked the twenty miles to Glasgow . When I got to the house of refuge , I showed them iny marriage lines , that they might see I was a douce , decent body . The matron .. was very kind to me , and said she grieved for me , but that the house was not for such as me , but for poor misguided women—prostitutes and the like . My heart waa fii to break , and I said to . myself , that I maun be wicked before I could get a morsel of bread . The matron took pity on me , and she let me stay one night , and gave me a supper and a breakfast the next morning .
Wo walked back again the long toilsome way to Greenock . I bad nothing to buy food or shelter with . My boy was weakly , though nine years old , and I had carried him many times on my back , when he complained of his feet . I sat down on a bank and cried bitterly ; but my child , who was aye a douce clever lad , and had been weel instructed in the Sunday school , little as he was , was my comfort , When he heard me say , ' we shall die of want ; ' * well , mother * said he , ' then we shall go to granny , in heaven ; and we 'll want no food there . ' He took off his jacket , and pulled off his little shirt , and said I should pawn his shirt , for that would bring something } and so it did , and we got a night's shelter for thaii time . "
Can anything be more pathetio than this—any words better chosen than these of the poor Scotch woman ? Do they not go to every parent's heartdoth not the similitude of her case to Hagar's strike every one ; but with this difference , that no angel came to her in her distress , showed her no well , and she at length—who can wonder , and who can blamd —fell into crime , that her Ishmael might not perish in the Christian desert \ Is it possible that , in the face of narratives suolt as these , and wiih such narratives I could fill your journal for a year , that any other subject can ba thought wonby of our consideration \ What avail 3 the decoration oJ' our towns , the grandeur of our
palaces , the strength of our bridges , roads , arsenalsi the wide arch of our empire ; our colonies , that stud aud circle the world , when our people seek shelter in onr prisons and force an entrance to them ; wbea they rather break iuo them than out of them , when their hardest labour , their hardest fare , are sought as boons by the sons aad daughters of destitution £ What is it , that our merchant navy is counted by a tonnage of millions—that the navy of the state ha 3 borne 150 , 000 seamen , carrying conquest to tha limits of the eaith—that onr army has taken tha capital of bur enemies—that our exports are fifty millions—when wailing is in our streets , famine is our cottage households , and cur refuge in prison !
Is not oar wealth penury , oar glory decay , our strength debility 1 Is it possible that any other object than a remedy for such desolation , which the annals of each day confirm &ud augment , can fill the thoughts of our BtutesmeD , who re iring to their stately halls , can sleep without dread vlsfoasof fqnalidana pining multitudes , sometimes expiring in silence , at other timoa breaking out into fteble insurrection—their strength for good or evil , Una vailing through long emaciation f Can they sloop to conbider progresses and pageants and baubles , barbarians ' ware , where victory is d » - feat , aud defeat enamel
Let us hopo better things , and ourselves resolve to bend every thought , to restrain every faculty , to devote every rtBource to the supply of the sorrowing inulutude of our brethren , to the averting of despair from their hearty and danger from mirap lyp j ; T ^ oihtrwise , in Milton ' s words , we most JM / rifitfrfrm ?*^ .
