34 t Dsab Fbjbsbs . —I now proceed with my narrative . Do : DKB .- ^ -On Tnesday Mr . Dnncombe and I armed at Dundee , about four o ' clock . There was a Terj splendid Soiree in the largest chapel that could be procured ; and when Mr . Duncombe made his appearance be was loudly and rapturously applauded . Mr . Xidd . the principal bntcher in the town , was in the chair ; and after the usual liberal sentiments had been proposed , the last of them , " The Northern Star" was spoken to by a working man , ( whose name I forget ) in most eloquent terms . In speaking of the New Plan of Qrgacaitiea , ha said , 1 ask ; did any thing more perfect overcome from the pen of man 1 and is not Mr , Hobson , the present talented editor of the Star , and compiler of that plan , worthy the confidence of the workingelasses T '—( Cheers . ' )
When Mr . Duncombe made his appearance , he was loudly cheered ; and after a "very long and eloquent review of his Parliamentary conduct , and an avowal of the principles of Chartism , -name and -ci / , he resumed Mb seat amidst several rounds of applause , and waving of hats . I followed j and made an ignorant letter of Bailie Christie ' s , written by way « f apology for his non-attendance , my text . This pompons fool declined accepting the invitation , because 1 was to be there ; but I promise you that after the licking I gave him , he will never write my name again as lone as he lives . We had a vast number ef the middle classes , and many manufacturers present . I enroled in all , in Dundee , 270 members . When we re turned to our hotel a young gentleman met me , and asked me to walk into the Commercial Room , where there was a party of Beren or eight gentlemen , all of whom had just returned
from the meeting . I did accompany him ; . and there jnet several very gentlemanlike intelligent personB , some of them manufacturers , and one especially , a German , V £ O j imTe gj DCe Jearned is the best and kindest master in Dundee . I do not know his name . We discussed the principles of the Char ter and B free trade , " till nearly three o ' clock in the morning ; all the young men standing np for the Charier . The principles are beginning to find iray here . We concluded the morning ' s entertainment , by a bet between the German gentleman and myself : he betting that npon a dissolution of Parliament , the Whigs would come into power again : I betting that , as WKffs , they would not . The wager 5 s , a dinner for the party then present . Mr . Kidd , the chairman , gave me £ 1 for the Executive , and a gentleman , who would not give his name , gave me os . for the ^ Executive .
On Wednesuay morning we proceeded on our way lo Aberdeen , Mr . Duncombe stopping at Stonehaven , fifteen miles from Aberdeen ; wnile I went . on . "When I arrived at the coach office there was a large concourse of persons to receire me , but no notice of any meeting for ihat night : the council supposing that I should be too much fatigued . However we pat up a bill in Mr . Ledge ' s window ; and at eight o ' clock we had an excellent meeting in a large ehapeVwheu I spoke at great length and with good effect . I enrolled 128 members ? and would have added all to the ranks had they been apprised of my intention .
The following day was to be the all-important one—the day of the Ddsccjue dejiosstratjos : and when I looked out of my window , to my horror I saw thai the elements were to be against as . It ma the only wet day they have hi d for aJong time . It rained incessantly ; and great was our misgiving . At twelve o ' clock I started , in company with the veteran . Archy JM'DoBaldV in a * eani * ge and six , to meet Mr . Dnueome : for whom M'Pherson and another excellent fellow of our booj had gone early to Sionehaven . When Mr . Dnncombe arrived , one Would have imagi&ed that the rain , so far from deterring , had invited the Chartists to come oat ; for it was the longest and grandest procession they have ever had . AJ 1 the trades were in foil regalia .
When Mr . Dun combe met tbe procession , he froald have the carriage opened ; and there he stood like a dripping statue the whole way . Be was highly and justly delighted with his reception . It was our intention to have proceeded-to the Links , as usual , but the day was so wer , we stopped in the Market-place ; "when oar old and valned . friend , 31 Phersonj was called to the chair : and onrnot less Talued irifnd , Lejrge , proposed an address , which he read to Mi . Dnneombe , and to which Mr . Duncombe replied at great length , and to the entire satisfaction of his hearers . I was then to speak ; and as all previous speakers had regretted the wetness of the day , I rejoiced at it , and for this simple reason : had it been fine , the press would have attributed cheattendanteto sightseeing-curiosity ; whueas as it was wet . none bnt iron Chartists would come out . Before I eommnnieaie ihemost cheering por-Jionof the intelligence to you , let me tell you that it
did not rain within seven miles of Aberdeen , on any side that day , as I have since learned ; and . it is a most remarkable circumstance , that during the three weeks I have been on my ramble 3 , we have only had thre * wet days : the one that Mr . Dancombe entered Manchester ; again , when he entered ^ Newcastle ; and on Thursday when he entered Aberdeen . This was doubtless to try the mettle of the Chartists . It waatoo tret to enrol members , or I Should have enlisted 3 , 000 at least ; bnt 1 did enrol one that in my humble opinion will gire more general « ati £ faetioD . than if I had enrolled 10 , 000 « thers . On our return to the hotel , Mr . Duncombe said , * Now I a member of the National Charter Association ! " 1 replied , " J > o ; if you have not taken ont yonr card . " "Wen , " said he , " as I am virtually a member of ihat body , 1 should be so actually ; bo give me my card , and nil it up Aberdeen , Oci . 26 th . " I did bo , and he paid me & g uinea for it : so

CHARTER ASSOCIATION , by far the most honourable distinction , in my mind , inlhe evening wehad agrand Soiree , They could only get a Ball to hold fodbieks hcsdsxd persons , ¦ which was inconveniently crowded . They applied to a set of Tory proprietors for the Market Hall , capable of accommodating 12 , 000 , which they declare they could hare fiile * . But such a sight would have been too much for such jaundiced tyes ; so they refused ns . In Aberdeen , so influential is Chartism , thai M'Pherson beat both parties , by nearly " 100 Bisjority , for the Commissionership of Police ; and he now fills ihat important office . They do their busineFS better than any other people ; and they do it "without softeBiug down the principle to prejudicepoint . They canrass for every office "under the principles , name , and alL
I attended at the Soiree an hour before the proper time , and enrolled a number of members j bnt it was done by so many agencies , that I cannot exactly state the number until 1 take stock of my wares ; but I shonld say abcKi 300 , which , added to 1 , 000 cards ihat have been left at Aberdet n , will make 1 , 488 for ihat town . Mr . Duncombe arrived at eight o ' clock , accompanied by M'Pherson , the chairman , and wasmost rapturously applauded . He made an admirable speech . We had some excellent singing ^ and opened the busiuesB with " Scots , wha hae , " sung by the whole company . I spoke at great length ; and Lowery spoke .
Mr . Dancombe was called npon his legs a second time , to receive an address from the _ female Chartists of Aberdeen , accompanied with a splendid tartan plaid , and a brooch with hiB arms and crest very beautifully engraved upon it . The address was emphatically and feelingly read by a very beautiful and interesting young woman ; and 3 when Mr . Duncombe presented himself in full costume , he "was rapturously applauded . Be returned thanks in a very excellent and talented speech , shortly after which we retired , accompanied by Mr . _ Legge , who remained with me till nearly one o ' clock , and told me that the proceids arising out of my visit , two years ago , had kept the Association in funds up to the present time .
On Friday , we were to have had a public meeting lo enrol members ; but , owing to a pledge that ! gave to the people of Arbroath , that I would work to repay the monies advanced to send delegates to the Birmingham Conference , I was obliged to visit the latter town for that purpose . On Pnday morning , we got up at four o ' clock , Mr . Dancombe to stert for Glasgow , and I for Montrose , where I had premised to address lhe people at two o ' clock , in the Thistle Ball . We had a most excellent meeting ; and I can onlv s » y that the people of Montrose expressed

themselves more than delighted . They told me that I had made many converts , and dispelled much prejudice . I enrolled seventy-eight members ; and , had it not been Monday , I . would have enrolled two hundred . This town , like many others * complains sadly of "trafficking pedlars . " They have gone far to ruin them ; and the Association did me the honour to say that I was the only man who had ever enriched the Association . They tell some carious stories at Montrose , about money-grubbinq ; enough to sicken the honest lecturers . I must b&v . however .
that they spoke very highly of the Manchester Packer , and Gammage . They say the Packer cares less about the money-than any man they ever heard . These things should be known . As I was to speak at Arbroath at eight o ' olock , I intended proceeding by the Aberdeen mail ; but it was fall , and I was obliged to poBt it , and did not arrive till half-past eight ; Here the Chartists have built a splendid place of their own ; and they filled it . I Bpoke at great length ; enrolled 200 ; got home at half-past eleven ; dined , and went to bed .
On Saturday morning , I started for Dundee . And now for a day ' s work . I addressed the people in their chapel ; but the day being a dreadml oue , blowing and raining , it was not filled . Howevtr , I had a capital audience ; spoke about an hour ; and was obliged te break off , to start for Leith . I never was out on a worse day . Within 300 yardB pf the Arbroath , station lay the Defiance of London , a wreck with a valuable general cargo ; the ship being ready to be dashed to pieces when the tide oomes in . In crcasinf- ^ rom theiwunty of Fife ^ to Newbaven , we had to go a considerable distance to the steamer in Email boats ; and the screams of the women , and the running to the side , when a sw « U , like a mountain , neared us , threatening . to swallow us all up ,
were most terrific . The landing and embarking at this important point is most awful and dangerous : and , as a gentleman observed in my hearing , it will remain so , until a Lord Lieutenant , two or three Baronets , five or six magistrates , or a dozen of lawyers are drowned . Then , but not till then , will it be remedied . 1 arrived in Edinburgh at half-past four , and went to Leith at seveu , when , in consequence of the early hour , and the men being paid at eight o ' clock , and it also being Saturday night , and many having gone to Edinburgh , to the « rkai kbetikg . as they called it , my audience was not numerous ; but it was good , and very attentive . I spoke for nearly an . hour and a half , and enrolled forty-two members . I then started for Edinburgh for the meeting in St . Cecilia Ball ; where we had a bumper . Subject , — Ireland and her wrongs . " Every Irish leader in Edinburgh was
present , and the galleries were full of the upper orders . 1 set to it at once ; and I certainly made a smasher . I could scarcely proceed , so numerous were the interruptions of cheering and waving of hats . The subject was entirely my own ; and I gave them two hours of unbroken declamation , that rung through the hall , and made the Hibernians dance again . When I tacked the Charter as a necessary ' appendage to Repeal , they bounced up and cheered , asd cheered again . Several Irishmen enrolled their names , and nearly all shook hands with me . I have made the Association here 600 strong . I was at work from seven in the morning till nearly twelve at night . I addressed the people of Dundee , Perth , and Edinburgh ; and had a most tremendous pain in my right side . I took a warm bath at ten ' clock ; and got up on Sunday morning as fresh as a lark , ready for a twelvemonth of it .
I must now give you a little of the chit ch » t here . The tea party in honour of Mr . Duncombe was got up here by nine ] deserters from oar ranks ; and , as one of them confessed to one of the Chartists , far the especial purpose of offering me an insult , by letting it be supposed that it was a Chartist Soiree , but that I was not invited . They have been hit so hard however , by the failure and etpense , about nbe pounds at the wrong ride , that thej are now quarelling among themselves , and trying to be taken back . One circumstance is worthy ef especial notice . The Sturgites , who got up the party , tried to enlist the Irishmen ; and , amtngst others , sent six cardB to a Mr . Connor , a most respectable shopkeeper , who has been in business twenty years in this town . It
was communicated to him , that the whole affair was intended as an insult to me ; when he instantly enclosed his cm < 1 b to th * committee ; and the Irishmen who had bought cards sold them for sixpence each , at a loss of ninepence , rather than be parties to such a malicious and dastardly act . 1 havt this fact from Mr . Connor himself . Duncombe ' s speech , however , has completely destroyed ** Completeism " in Scotland . No man will now confess himself as even belonging to the nameless staff of " poor Joseph . " Be is now a shepherd without a lock , " taking his wits to Crawford ? barn , to b » Te » oonfab with honest Sh&rman Crawford , to see haw they « an make something out of nothing . " They should remember the old adage : —
u Em nihil , nihilftt . " K Out of nothing nothing can be made . " I cannot neglect stating one pleasing fact : two hundred honest Chartism , fifty mileB Bouth of Aberdeen , started in a boat to be present at the Dancombe demonstration ; and when they had got within five miles of their destination , they were driven back , and immediately started on foot and walked the fifty miles . Who now says that cbabii&t is dead is ecotla . > 3 ? In fact , my friends , most of those who have visited Scotland , have
estimated Chartist principles by the amount they could chouse from the poor people ; and the Scotch being c&refol of their pence , and fmall blame to them , the u pedlars" give Chartism a bad name ; bnt I declare that there never was so mach Chartism in Scotland ; but it will not pay for puffs . 1 will give you Mr . Dnncombe ' s own words about it . " By Jove , if those who sav Chartism is dead would only come to Scotland , their eyes would be opened . What I are all these Chartists J" I tell you , and you will believe me , that Chartism is able to beat all other hms in Scotland .
As 1 long ago predicted , some of the church-< 3 iarti 5 ts have tried to strangle the question of civil rights . Secret letter writing _ ; undermining ; and applying for the passing of friendly resolutions are practices very much in use latterly . But the Scotch are a very far-seeing people , and always affectionate ; and stand by theii old friends , till they see reason to change . I have learned many lessons of wisdom since my arrival here . When I mentioned on Saturday , at Dundee , Leith , and Edinburgh , that Mr . Duncombe was a member of onr association , I thought the cheering would never stop .

The people took the largest church in the town for this meeting , and signed articles with the committee ; but the priest , one of the rampant non-intruEionists , one M"Ken * ie , took off the key , and went out of town , after all the expenoe was incurred . At the last moment , when the people were all but mad , Bailie Beck , a coach maker , cleared his show room for us , and we had an admirable meeting , notwithstanding the Nonintrnsionist liberal .

GLORIOUS AND MAGNIFICENT DEMONSTRATION AT ABERDEEN , IN HONOUR OF "THE PEOPLE'S OWN , " T . S . DUNCOMBE , ESQ . M . P . From the moment it was known that Mr . Buncombe was to viait this city , every Chartist set to work in order to make his reception in some degree commensurate with the great services he has , is and out of Parliament , rendered te the people . On the evening previous to the procession Mr . O'Connor arrived with the south mail ;
and waa received by a great number of his friends in that manner in which every old and faithfnl friend will always be received in the Land of Cakes . Though no notice nor any knowledge of Mr . O Connor ' s intention to lecture was known , yet two hours after hia arrival be found himself addressing a large audience of the citizens of the north . The meeting was enthusiastic and listened with delight upwards of two hoars to their faithful champion and attached friend . At the close of the lecture a great number purchased cards of the National Association .
THE PfcOCESSION—GREAT MEETING , &c . At an earl ; hour on Thursday , the day on which Mr . Danoombe was to enter the capital of the nortb ,-extaordinary excitement was observable en all sides . At about twenty minutes past ten , the different trades took up tbeir respective stations , according' to their priority in the incorporation , or the order in -which they had ballotted to walk . At eleven precisely , the procession , on the agreed-npon sound of the bugle , started ; and notwithstanding about this time the morning , though previously fair , suddenly changed to a severe rain , which continued with unabated violence for three hours , yet , glorious to say , not one left the procession until they had fairly accomplished their duty , by conveying Mr . Danoombe after the meeting , to his hotel .
Mi . Duncombe arrived at Stonehaven on Wednesday , the 25 th ult ., about fifteen miles south of Aberdeen , at which place a deputation from Aberdeen was to meet him on Thursday morning . Accordingly , Mr . James M'Pherson and Mr . Robert Macintosh , the Chairmen of the Charter Union , proceeded thither for that purpose , and arrived at the Bridge of Dee , two miles from town , about one o ' clock , ill ., as was appointed . Agreeable * to previous arrangement , the procession was to meet Mr . Dancombe at the Prince Albert Hotel , within s mile and a half of town , where , on his arrival ,
he and his friends were to occupy an open carriage , drawn by six bay horses , with postillions dressed in appropriate liveries and wearing bunting caps , with gold tassels . When the parties met , Mr . Duncombe stept into the carriage , accompanied by Messrs . O'Connor , M'Pherson and Macintosh . On the first appearance © f Mr . Duncombe in the carriage , a loud and pealing thunder of cheers ran along the dense procession of congregated thousands vibrating and thrilling upon the ear in awful grandeur , while the eye feasted upon one of the moat imposing spectacles ever presented in our city .
As soon as the Marshals had completed their preliminary arrangements , under the superintendence of Mr . James Thomson , the dense mass fell into line on each side , leaving an open space in the centre for Mr . Duncombe ' s carriage to pats , and in which he stood on the seat , leeeiving the warm congratulations of a warmhearted people . Ab he reached the top of the procession , the bugles sounded a halt , and the several trades , according to arrangement , marched put the carriage , and proceeded in the following order : —

A number of other beautiful green and Roman banners and flags were carried in the procession . Thus formed oue of . the most splendid processions ever exhibited in this part of the country . By the time the procession reached the town , notwithstanding the rain which fell heavily , it hod swelled to a vast amount . All the way from the Water House , as far m the eye could could reach down Union-street , presented one vast moving mass . The windows and balconies were occupied by the aristocracy of Aberdeen , many of whom cheered , and a profusion of handkerchiefs were to be seen waving from the snow-white hands of some of the ladies who occupied the windows and , balconies . The procession
moved down Unien-street , St Nicolas-street , Qeorgestreet , St . Paul ' s-street , Gallowgate , Broad-street , to the Market Cross , where the meeting was to be held . The procession was intended to proceed to the great natural amphitheatre at the terminus of the Caledonian race course , but the inclemency of the weather prevented it . The carriage , with Mr . Dancombe and those who were to take p&tt , d *» w up west of the Gross , in the spacious Market Square ; and though several thousands bad gone to- the first intended place of meeting , not knowing but the procession was to proceed also , yet the Great Square presented one living mass of men and women , such as had seldom , if ever , graced it before .

Thus ended one of those meetings so much calculated to leave an impression on the enemies of freedom that something is wrong ; for the working classes would not stand b «) ow toe drizzling rain tor four hours bad they not a C 3 use ; and it also shews that the people are mat indifferent to those who stand forward to defend the principles and sustain the rights of the working classes .

DUBLIN . —The Irish Universal Suffrage Association held their usual weekly meeting on Sunday last , at tbeir Room ^ No . 14 , North Anne-street ; Mr . Patrick Rafter , ! in the chair ; Mr . H . Dyott , Secretary . - Mr . Dyott having read the minutes of the last meeting , and tbe rales and objects of the Sooisty , and also a letter from Mr . John'Lowery , ; of Enett , county of Mayo . Mr . O'Higgtns rose , and said , he wished to postpone the motion of which he had given notice ou the previous Sunday ; and in its stead give notice of a motion of more immediate " and pressing importance . The motion wbioh he should submit to the consideration of the Society was one of a veryf conciliatory nature —( cheers ) . Most of his fellow-citizena were acquainted with the faot , that he * ( Mr . JO'Higgina ) had from hia first step in politics to the present hour laboured to effect of
a good understanding between the ^ reat bulk the English people aud the Irish . Pitt aud Castlereogh succeeded ia efFjouag an . Oligarchical Union between tho EngliBh &n 4 irishjDDurss ^ orB pfth e people J urtfefffrtawttytete ^^ before , that some great leaders of the Irish people whom he should not now name , followed in the wake of Pict and Gastlereagb , by using all their powerful eloquence and great influence to make the people of Ireland believe that the English people were the enemies of the Irish and their religion . This was just what Pitt aud C&stlereagh sought to effact ; they succeeded ia forming a cordial union of English and Irish tyrants , but they failed to establish religious and national hatred between the oppressed people of both countries . This was reserved for other parties . He regretted to s » y that the labours of a certain individual had been
successful , to a great extent , amongst his countrymen , many of whom—in faot , the great bulk of whom , now believe that the ! English working people hate them and their religion to such a degree that they would willtBgly come over here at the bidding of any Minister , Whig or Tory , and help him to cut the throats of the Irish ; Catholic priests . Thus that feeling of hatred and animosity whioh Pitt and Caatlereagh failed to bring about , has been effected by the great advocate of oivi ) and religious liberty—( hear , hear ) . The notioa which he should read was intended to establish a better feeling ; in Bhort a cordial union , between the Euglish and tbe Irish people . The motion ! he now gave notice of was to the following effect : — " Conciliation t between
Daniel O'Connell and Feargus O'Connor , in a proposed amicable discussion in the Conciliation Hall : —That in ordkt to make the Conciliation Hall be in reality that which it professes to be , Mr . O'Connell is imperatively called npon no longer to retard the progress of the Repeal of the Union , by interposing a barrier ] between , and refusing the aid and co-operation of , 3 , 500 , 000 inhabitants of Great Britain in favour of a Repeal of the Uuion , by reason of some private pique or personal quarrel , between himself aud Mr . Feargus O'Connor , That in order to overthrow tyranny in England and Ireland , a cordial union ' should be effected between the working classes of both countries ; and in order to effact this most desirable object it is Mr . O'Connell ' s
boanden duty to invite Mr . O'Connor to a friendly and amicable discussion of their views , in the Conciliation Hall ; and then , and there , for the interest , the peace , happiness , and prosperity of the Empire , sacrifice their disputes aud differences on the altar of their common country . '' % ) ( Mr . O'H . ) did ) not know Mr . O'Connor so well or so long as he knew Mr . O'Conoell ; yot he would stake his life upon it , that in order to effect bo glorious an object as that contemplated in the motion of which He h * d girea notice , Mr . OCoanor would cheerfully ! forgive all injuries whioh he has suffered at the hands of Mr . O'Connell —( cheers ) .
Mr . Thomas Ford said , as a Meathman , it would do his heart good to see these two great men makeup their qaarrel for the sake of the country . Mr . John Lynham said that he also was a Meathman , a labpnrorjL and .. thouxh he had but littla to ep « re , fa © wouldTftivea months' wage 3 , if he were to live on one meal a day to see the unfortunate dispute between Mr . O'Connor and Mr . O'Connell made up . Mr . Berlin did not know what was meant by Conciliation unless it was to join cordially for the interests of our country . Why does Mr . O'Conuell call upon others to bury in oblivion all old disputes , while he himself never sets us the example f—< hear ) Mr . William Woodward said that he had for some
time past contemplated a motion something like that whioh was read by ) Mr . O'Higgiua . Conciliation Hall , was the proper place to effect conciliation . He never yet heard of any injury or injustice done by Mr . O Connor to Mr . O'Connell ; and even if he had injured him surely Mr . O'Connell , reads the Lord ' s prayer !—( Hear , hear ! . ) Mr . Dyott said that he fully concurred in the propriety of the motion ; but he should reserve his opinions until it came legitimately before the meeting . Mr . Henry Clark said that he highly approved of the motion . It was well-timed , and if carried into operation would produce an effect even ou present affairs in whioh Mr . O'Connell was interested —( bear , hear ) . He concluded by moving that the notice of motion be published in tbe Daily and Weekly Freeman ' s Journal . Passed unanimously . Mr . Bergin was called to the chair , and the thanks of the meeting having been given to Mr . Rafter , they adjourned till next Sunday at one o ' olook .

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS . Below is a statement of the names and colourj of the Councillors returned for the several Wards of the borough , and the numbers polled by each , where contests have taken place . East Ward . —T le "Liberals" put in nomination a poor thing named Barrett , who vras for a £ 5 suffrage at the present ! and would progress up to ( perhaps ) Universal Suffrage ! Mr . Martin Cawood was hia opponent . Barrett polled 494 ; Cawood 484 . . Wa hear that Barrett ' s majority is made up of dead men personated ; living men personated ; and bad votes ; and there is a talk of the lawyers being appri ' ed te , to set the matter right .
KiRKeATB Wabd . —Here the Whig candidate wa § Mr . Yewdail , the grocer ; and his Tory opponent Mr . Stead , the baker . Yewdail polled 223 ; Steed 218 . Mill-Hill Ward . —Tne Whigs were Messrs . Watson and Morehouae ; the Tories , Metars . Williamson and R ? yner . The numbers polled were : — Watson , 302 ; Moorhousa , 301 ; Williamean , 296 J Rayner , 295 . North Ward . —Here Mr . Brumfit , a Whig . Radical Chartist , in the latter end of October and
beginning of November , and a thorough Whig hack all the rest of the year , had the ** fight" to himself ; Next year the Chartists must look to this Ward . North East Ward . —Mir . Morton -Was the complete suffrage candidate ; Mr . Weddill the TurV candidate . The numberB ^ . BoJled ^^ Mi& ;~ Wftddiu . 589 TTObrtontawr ¦ North West Wabd . —? Mr ; C , Heaps was tha Whig-Radical candidate i and Mr . Close , surgeon , the Tory man . Mr . Heaps polled 374 ; Me Close 27 ti .
South Ward . —The Whigs had this Ward all to themselves ; after having acted most treacherously towards the Radicals . By Bome means or other , the quarrel was made up ; and Broadhead , the Whig , walked over . West Ward . —Here the Chartists had a man out , Mr . Jackson , ( be corn miller . His collca-rua wa 9 Mr . Carbntt , a Whig . The Tories started Mf . P . L . Atkinson and Mr * D . Atkinson . The Chartists beat . The numbers polled were : —Jackson , 480 : Carbutt , 488 ; P . L . Atkinson , 435 ; D . Atkinson , 441 . " Bramle * Ward . —The Whigs started here were Mr . John Cliffe , and Mr . D . Hainsworth . The Tor-es , Mr . Wilson , and Mr . John Oddy . The polling stood : —Wilson , 669 ; Oddy , 664 ; Gliffe , 37 I ; HaiDSWorth , 365 .
Hunslet Ward . —Both parties were late in the field , in this ward . A Mr . Walker was the Whig man ; and Mr . Wm . Hoaton the Tory man . Walker polled 424 votes ; and Heaton 224 . ¦ Headinglv Ward —Contrary to all expectation , a contest took place here . A Mr . Anderton was bronght out in the Whig interest , to oppose Mr . Prince , the Tory . The polling stood ' . —Prince , 268 ; Anderton , 201 . Holbeck WARD .- ^ HerewaBthe main fight . There was more interest excited , and more wagers pending , as to the result in this Ward , than in all the others
put together . The very violent means resorted to by both sections of sham ReformerB , the Whiga and Goosey ' s tribe , had directed all attention to the contest . Mr . Hobsonwas the Chartist candidate , having been nominated by an " overwhelming majority ** of a large public meeting of the burgesses and inhabitants . Mr . Ingham was the other candidate nominated with him . The Whigs bronght out a Mr . Pape to oppose Mr . Hobson . From the first , Mr . Hobson took the lead , and maintained it to the last : the numbers polled being—Hobson , 571 ; Ingham , 490 ; Pape , 396 . Hobson ' s Majority over Ingham 81 ; over Pape 175 11
The defeat of the Whigs and shams was " complete" ! A regular flooring 1 It will be seen by an examination of the above accounts , that Mr . Hobson was not only far away at the head of the Poll fa Holbeck , but that he polled more votes than any other candidate in the Borough ! and that , too , after every means , dii fcy and infamous , had bf on resorted to , to dams » e his election . His Ksii-Free'Tradeism wpa muoh played off , and dwelt upon by the enemy . Yet he polled more votes than any other man , the whole Borough through ! And two-thirds of hra votes were plumpers too : so that ha had equal to just upon 1 , 000 votes J Who will now say that Char * - ism is downl . .
The lyiug scribe of the " liberal" Journal here , who has furnished the Morning Chronicle with his account , says that it is •* by the treating and influent of the Tories that Mr . Hobsoin has been returned , " How lame ! There never yet was an election on earth so pure as the Holbeck one . We bslieve that neither party resorted to treating : at all events Mr . Hobson ' s friends would not have giveil one single pint of ale to have gained the election . The voters had to walk to tbe polling-booth ; in some instances two mile' ? . And as for the influence of the Tories , Mr . Rip'ey , the greatest Tory in the Ward , voted for both Ingham and Pape , the two Whigs ! There te a treating fa some parts of the Borough } but not at Holbcok .
About sixty of Mr . Hobson ' s friends celebrated their glorious victory on the evening of the day of election , at the Woodman Inn , Swcet-Btrcat , by a substantial snppar . Mr . Hobson and Mr . R iss were present , and addressed the assembly . A committee was appointed to look after the Registry ; for the working men purpose to carry two men next year . We understand that the Chartists of Le ^ ds intend . to celebrate their signal triumph in the Holbtsk and West Wards by either a , Soirta or a Pablio Dinner , in their new and large room . It is not a bad idea . The ChartistB are triumphant when they enter npon it : a good omen of future success while in it .
John Clapham , thb Bebe tailed * ' Refobmbju " —A great yell is made by the Whfga and shams about Btuetailedism , which * hey attribute to the Chartists .
