OLD FAEE'S PILLS . THE following Letter from Mr . Noble , of Hull , is well worthy of perusal : — To the Proprietors of Parr ' s Infallible Life Pills . fr Gentlemen , —Since I undertook the agency of this popular Medicine , I can with truth aver , that it has , to my own knowledge , been a very great blessing to score * of persons in this town and neighbourhood . Indeed , so numerous are the testimonials to the virtues of M Park's Pilis" in the cure of inveterate disease , that many persons who had been quite hopeless of any relief , have obtained a permanent and perfect curb . To particularise , would be ageless ; the cases are io numerous . One person was cured of a bad leg of fifteen years' duration ; another , of Rheumatism of ten years * standing ; others of Asthma , &c , < fcc .: these are among the Cures . And numerous are the eases of relief in Bilious and Liver Complaints , sick head-ache , eonghs , oolda , and diseases of the stomach and digestive organs , &o . From these facts , more than from any mode of advertising , the sale of the pills is daily increasing ; every person who has been benefited is anxious to recommend them , and assist his neighbour . —Enclosed is £ 50 , which please send me in PUIb by the next coach . I am , Gentlemen , yours , respectfully , JOSEPH NOBLE , Printer , Bookseller , and Stationer . 23 , Market Place , Hull , Jan . 18 , 1841 . P .

OLD PARR'S SECRET OP LONG LIFE DISCOVERED . A MOST singular document has recently been brought to Tight , and is now in the possession of the Rev . Wm . Arther , of East Peckham : it appears to have been written by the celebrated OLD PARR , who attained the almost incredible age of one hundred and fifty-two years , and who left this dooument to a relation : it is written on parchment , and although upwards of two hundred years old is in an excellent state of preservation . The following is an extract : — "These do certifie yt ye undermentioned is ye method of preserving health , which by ye grace of Almighty God has caused me to attain to my miraculous old age . Albeit in my youth I was afflicted with ye Bloody Flux and King ' s Evil , but which all left me by using some dayes ye herbs as herein written . " Here follows the receipt : — " Moreover , I bequeath to my second Great Grandson ye method I employ for preparing ye medicament . Given this day , and in ye 147 th year of mja *' « Thomas Pabr . " "Winnington , Salop , Januarie 17 tb , 1630 . " This singular character was the oldest man . with one exception , that England ever produced : his biographer says , "the days of his youth , according to his own account , was a series of long and painful illness , but that by some secret means he cured himself , and was stronger than most men when he married his first wife , which he did at the advanced age of eighty-eight ; he again married at the amazing age of one hundred and twenty ; at one hundred and thirty h « used to thresh corn , and do any laborious work . He had seen ten Kings and Queens of England . The Clergyman who holds the valuable document abovementioned , has , by the assistance of a very able chemist and physician , caused the reeeipt of Old Parr's to be made into Pills , and although only a space of eighteen months have elapsed Since the trial , upwards of seven hundred cures have been effected ; more than one-half were considered incurable ; and what is more remarkable , cases which possess the very opposites as regards outward symptoms : the balsamic and invigorating effects on the blood produced by these medicines is perfectly miraculous ; many who have kept their beds for years have been so speedily re-invigorated with an infusion of new blood , and consequently of new life and strength , that their re-appearance amongst their fellow-beings , who had long given them up as incurable , is looked upon as the greatest of the many great wonders of this miraculous age . The whole of our system is built up from the blood—nerves , sinewB . muBcles , and even solid bone ; this being the oase , the grand object is to keep this precious fluid ( the blood ) in a pure and healthy state , for without this purity disease will show itself in someway or ? ther . Cases of every description have all been cured simply by the use of Parr ' s Life Pills , thus showing that what hasbeen considered different disorders , and requiring different treatment , all originated in the same cause , and can be curtd by one uniform treatment . Although powerful in conquering disease , they are as pure and harmless as new milk , and may be administered with confidence to the invalid , however weakly from long ill health , who will soon enjoy those delightful symptoms of a return to strong health , namely , good appetite , sound sleep , and an increase of animal spirits . To have produced a medicine so benign and mild in its operation and effects , and yet so effectual in searching out and curing disease of however long standing , exhibits on the part of Old PaiT deep research and a thorough knowledge of his subject . Those who have been the instruments of reptoring this long-lost secret to the world , feel confident , when they make the assertion—that none need despair , that if only a fair trial be given , the result will be a restoration to health and happiness . M Thus shall their humble labours merit praise , And future Parrs be blest with honour'd dayB . " The following letter will shew the high estimation these invaluable medicines are held in the city of Lincoln : — " To the Rev . W . Arther , and Proprietors of Parr ' s / Life Pills . "Rev , Sir , and Gentlemen , —I beg to inform you , several persons have acknowledged to m « they never experienced so much improvement in their health , since they took Old Parrs Pills ; ia particular , a lady , who said she never knew what it was to be without pain in her head j but , after taking one box , she has been free from it ever since . "You must , I am sure , from the great demand for the pills at my shop , think they are considered here of great value , and I have no doubt many more will be sold when they are generally known ; in fact , Bomefolk begin now to think they will have no occasion to make their wills for the next 90 or 100 years to come . " I am , your obedient servant , ' " James DfiDRT .

He commenced by reading a prayer from Mrl Bronterre CBriea ' s Po * r Man ' s Guardian , which colled forth great applause . He was not come there to spout out that dogmatical nonsense which was being put forth in the various cathedrals in this kingdom , namely , " As it was in the beginning , is now , and ever shall be , world without end ; " for certain he was that things were not now as they were at the beginning . At that time there were not 1 , 000 prostitutes patrolling the streets of London : there were not at that time 10 , 000 pickpockets , 10 , 000 " servants omi of employment , 3 , 000 houses for receivi&e stolen
gwds , eighteen prisons in London and its vicinity , £ 2 , 000 beer-shops and public-houses , and 80 , 000 committed for crime annually . ( Hear , hear . ) The speaker went on to compare the different institutions of the country with what they should be under a well-regulated Government . He < the speaker ) would always raise his voice against » system which consigned youth to prison , manhood U > earthly hells , asdoldage to bloody bastiles . He , for Ms part , wanted to see a system established , where childhood would havemirth , manh » od independence , aadold age honour and comfort . He then remarked , that when the late Mr . Wm . Cobbett went to Ireland , he wrote a letter to the people of England , in which he declared that he had seen his own steward ' s
fngs the day before he left England , and he affirmed , a . the face of England and Ireland , that those pigs were better fed , better lodged , and kept far more oleaner , than many thousands of the peasantry of Ireland . ( Hear , and cries of shame . ) He then denounced the factory system , as carried on in this cocavry , and said it was such as that human nature shuddered to hear a recital of the many twisted liabs , broken down constitutions , the pale , ghastly , countenances , and deformed creatures , which it haa made ; and also the foul and filthy expressions which were frequently made U 3 e of in them . He referred also to the tendency it had to increase crime , vice , immorality , and prostitution ; and the contaminating influence it had on the physical
constitution , and the frustration , to a great extent , of mental improvement . He then drew a picture of a maa who could have his acre of land to fall back epon , to keep himself and family comfortable , instead of being at the mercy of the money grubbers , and master manufacturers . ( Hear , bear . ) Tke speaker entered into an able and eloquent defence of his order ( the working classes ) from the calumnies and aspersions of th « middle and higher classes a 3 t » their ignorance , criminality , and rize ; and traced the ea& 3 es of these with an unsparing hand , to those classes themselves who uttered the calumnies . He , then , in a very feeling manner referred to the death of Clayton , which was received with marks of sympathy , and urged his hearers to step out of the
rovtme of tneir former energies for the obtainment « f tke Charter . Froet , Williams , and Jones were lotting to them to obtain the Charter . Thousands of poor perishing people were looking ior it as their only hope , aad that patriot , that learned , able , true-ie * rted Irishman , Feargas O'Connor , whose private life had bees as amiable and as sp otless as his public exertions , had been long , arduous , and valuable , —he was watching every movement , though in the dreary solitary dungeon . The wife of Clayton and others were looking to them ; the widow aad the orphan , and the starving peasantry f Ireland , all , all , were looking to the Chartists to free them from their slavish condition . The speaker Bade a powerful appeal to his audience , on the necessity of perseverance , and sat down amid acclamation * . Permission was given to any" one present to object to anything the lecturer had advanced , or of asking any questions , and no m »
coming forward , the following resolntion wa 3 carried unaaiBoasly : — " Tba * . a committee be formed to receive subscriptions , towards defraying the expences of removing the body of our departed friend , John Clayton from the Whig dungeon , and convey Jum where be may be decently interred m his own native town . " A vote of thank 3 was given to" the lectorer , after which the Chairman annonnced that the proceeds of Mr . Heywood ' B exhibition , in phantasmagoria , were £ 1 43 . and that he had engaged to give two more ; the first to be on Tuesday , the 16 th , and theoiher the following Tuesday . Mr . Buchanan ; Social misswaary , bad , likewise , volunteered to give ae , after , npM the same terms . The Carpenter ' s Hall is taken for the 20 th , with the anticipation of ioidiflg a raeetiog for the delegates to address the People . A great many Chartist Circulars ,-both of . English and Scotch , were called for , and all is going en welL
Lkctpbs . —On Senday evening , Mr . James Leech 4 enVered a very interesting and instinctive lecture on the present position of the Chartists , and their £ i t « r « prospects ; shewing the- utter uselessneei , HHHJahness , and impossibility of a union of the workag and middle classes , unless the latter would « w » boMly and fairly out for Universal Suffrage . Th » speaker was listened to with marked attention , ¦ ad produced a great impression . He concluded by wcommeBdiBg all to become teetotallers , as he himself bad , which sentence was received with deafening cheers . A committee was formed to carry out the recommendation of the editor of the Star ; relative to removing the remains of poor Clayton from the prison to his own native town , and for this purpose 6 s . were collected immediately .

1 XJNDON . —We are informed that a Social Concer t will take place «« Thursday evening next , at eight o ' clook , at CasSftg ' s Temperanee Coffee House , Borough Road , near Vhe Duke of York publie-houBe , for the benefit of * poor tanner , who is a sincere Chartist , and wb » has been out of work for many weeks ; he has a wife and five starving children to support . CABIJSXiB . —Lectuees of Db . M'JXWALL . —On Saturday eveatng , February the 6 th , the above-named gentleman delivered bis first lecture , ia the large lecture room < of the Athennmn , on the " Right * of Labour . " Aa we entered the hall , the Doctor was proceeding with his address , which was characterised throughout by sound and rational views of what society ought to
be vmdet a just and paternal government ; he proseeded at great length to anew bow the labouring dasM lived in what an now called the dark ages , eijojing all tb » comfort * of life , and those secured and bold sacred by the Government and magistracy of thia oeuntry ; but now the people were robbed of all those oomforta tney formerly enjoyed , by the very men who « ught to be their protectors . The Doctor is a rapid and energetic speaker , aad at times approaches to the highest nights of eloquence , more especially in hi » timilies , which are well carried oot . His happy and witty illustrations have a striking effect upon his audience . On tiie whole v « look baok upon Mm w a person well calculated to impress upon the people a strong convic tion of what ought to be their real position in society
Lixs the Rev . J . B . Stephens , he enters into all the ramifications of society t and shows , that except the Charter secures to the people , good food , good clothing , and every other comfort , it ia not worth having ; at the same time he contends , that the Charter will be the best security to those blessings , fie exposes with a masterly baud the vilbvny of those who have plundered the people , and Is not over scrupulous as to the names he gives them . The following is a brief sketch of the lecture . I demand for the people of this country good wages for their labour , and plenty of leisure time to spend taose wafes , in food and recreation . I demand a provision for them , such ai they had in former times , and which must and shall be secured , before there shall be peace in the palace .
1 have examined the ancient reoords of tail country , and find that the people were protected—they then had a back stay and it is only when this is the case that there can b « security for the throns— but if that protection be wholly removed , I would not gtve two ye \ r s purchase for the institutions of this country—nor the stability of the crown , which ought to be founded on the affections of the people . I demand good wages for the people , and short hours , so that their leisure time may be usefully and pleasantly spent in Improving their minds and making them what God intended them to be , but those things can only be secured by placing in their hands political p « wer . I have discovered , that there was once a priesthood , who voluntarily gave up the benefits of the Church lands , for the benefit of the
poor . In Scotland , in the abbey of Arbroath , they received at one time what was equivalent to £ 13 , 00 * at present , in the shape of wheat , meal , meat , tea . There were only twenty five old men to eat up all this supply , which w&s given to the poor and necestitious The black Earl of Douglas , with 1000 of Ms followers , remained there twelve months and oould not consume the supply of bread , beef , mutton , fish , 4 c In 1530 , the abbots turned put their money and purchased food for tke poor ; twenty score of oxen and fish , and other things in proportion , aa much as would now satisfy the wants ef the necessitous iu tweaty parishes in Scotland . The then king visited this place , but could not with all his rait , diminish the supplies . Turn your attention to that great reprobate George the Fourth ,
the money expended by that royal beast in his mission to Scotland surpassed all that has been given to the entire poor of that country , and half the poer of England . Should an Archbishop visit Jem now , ha would scarcely leave a pig in the stye , nor aa much meal as would enable you to sing " Britons never shall be slaves . " >* a man cs > a make me believe , that the priests are all inclined to assist the poor , with all their professions of charity , yet they would die through their vexation if they were compelled to assist them ; bow the property of the Church is as if it bad all flown away from this country . If a working man should take the road , he will observe the priest ' s sign board as he enters every town and village— " Vagrants and beggars are not to be relieved !"—yet they have the
best houses and gardens in the place . It never entered into the heads of the indent priests , that there was a division of parishes in heaven . If they saw a p # or man suffering from want , they instantly gave him food . Ood himself has proclaimed the rights of the poor . The tithes were brought in baskets , and placed on the altar , and the priest had to declare before Almighty God , that he would reserve a portion for the Levite , the widow , the fatherless , and necessitous poor of the land . I know of do book , except the Bible , which so clearly and distinctly points out the rights of the poor . Lands ¦ were given to tbe people , and the priests were not to have gold , nor any other property , but what belonged to the Lord . The ancient abbots did divide the fruits of the land amongst the necessitous poor ,
who had a right to this property . In those days , tbe vrortiDg man bad net to want , but proceed to the Church , and get sufficient food for bis snpport . Having proved that the Church lands belong to the working men , and were given to the Church for the benefit of them , he asked , but what has now become of those lands ? I will tell you . Little Lord John Russellalias Jack Ketch—has a good portion . I would ask the Bedford family , -what they have made of the lands ¦ which they have robbed the poor of ? Lord Eglinton , too , had got three large estates belonging to Kelwillen Abbey , which furnished him with the means of carry ing on the broom-stick affair . What right had Fox Maule ' s father to the lands belonging to the abbey of Arbroath ? Indeed , nearly all the aristocracy have
robbed the people to a greater » r lesser extent Iu regard to religion , I wish to see perfect liberty of conacience . I speak not for tbe purpose ef curtailing the belief of any one—but to show you who have been the robbers . When you pull down idols , you should not rob the people . Iu thus advocating the rights of the poor man , I cannot help glancing at the effects of the present system , which has entailed misery and wretchedness on the poor of this land . H the people had the church lands alone , they would prevent a vast deal of the misery which at present exists . In contending for the principles of the Charter , I consider it my duty , first to make you acquainted -with your rights—se that when you get the power , you may be enabled to secure them , when the
power is put into your hands—without this power , it would be vain to talk—and it must be had by the combined energy Mid force of the people . You have lately had & courting match at Leeds , which I could scarcely understand . The resolution passed there might have been a very different one—if the Chartut leaders had known their own strength , they could have carried a resolution containing the "whole principles contained in the Charter . I know the design of those Household Suffrage humbugs , and I am determined at all times to expose them . The sole object of Hume , O Connell , and others , is to give what they are pleased to call Household Suffrage , and to throw the Charter overboard . Of what use would a vote be , if the people could not choose the men they thought best
qualified to serve them ; and , without they have that power , the thing would be of no use . Hume haa given notice of a motion to give lodgers a vote . If I had stopped in Chester Castle , I would have had the benefit of it ; bat it will be all a humbug . Joe Hume is « Whig-Radical—one half -white and the other blackknavery on the one side of his head , and folly on the other . Nothing , I trust , will satisfy the people short of the Charter . Tbe more you want of a Government , the more you should ask for . We have been standing likfl the man in the moonlight—the people are the man , and the Government the shadow—if the substance moves on , so will the shadow—but if it stands still , so will the shadow . If the Government still continue to refuse us the Charter—I -will bo further
and unfold the banner of republicanism . { Immense cheering which lasted for some minutes . ) If they won't give us it now , they will very soon find it expedient to do so . We will , with the Charter , secure the rights of the poor , and be able to protect their wages . In tbe reoords of the county of Berk * ., I find a table , by which the wages of the working man -were regulated . Th « quartern loaf was . taken as the standard , the number of the family was also taken , and what they could esrn by their labour , and the number of shillings they could produce in a week . If a man had a wife and one child he tras not to receive less than ten shillings ; if two , fourteen shillings and sixpence ; if three , seventeen shillings and sixpence ; if four , twenty shillings ; and so on in proportion . This wag offering a premium
for young men to get married , and to increase the population . In those days the wages of the working man were always steady and secure ; he was to have , at least , seven pounds of bntcher ' s meat in the week , with vegetables and other necestaries ; good clothing , and a go » d supply of chamber linen . Where ia the chamber linen now ? Why , if there is any at all amongst the working people , you will find it at the sign of the three balls , slumbering in some snug corner with an elegant ticket at the end of it What has hecome of the beef ? There is still plenty , but you get precious little of it ; it goes into the hands of your mast ; rs , and all the tit bits are seised by the overgrown parsons . It would be a curious census to take aa account of the flitches of bacon and hams which are in the country ; rerj tew would be found in the dwellings of the working men . What joi » er ever thinks now of putting crooks into the ceiling of a working man ' s cottage ; but that of tbe parson is studded all over with them !
as if he wore " going to hang up the sins of the whole nation . Now , we have Marcus ' s plan of painless txtinction , for the poor man ' s children . If the scoundrel who wrote that book had shown his face among the magistrates of Berks ., he would have- been p " ut in the pillory or the stocks ; but it is not a bad recommendation , if properly applied . The bees , after they have laboured a whole summer , and perceive that the drones increase—they assemble , march them out and destroy them , because , if they did not do that , they would -soon eat up siL So it shoald be with the idlers , or donothings of society . I should like to see Marcus ' s plan adopted in this respect , for it would only be retributive justice . The Doctor then went on to urge the people to unite as one man , and be determined to obtain the Charter . A vote of thanks was then given to the Doctor . The hall was well filed soon after th « commencement of the lecture , and it will hold , at least , » thousand persons .

BRISTOL . —Things are looking well here . Public meetiogB have been holden in several wards of the city , at which it has been resolved that a lecturer ¦ hall be retained to agitate the city and suburbs . TRUBO ( Coenwaix . )—The cause is getting nicely on here . At a meeting of tbe members of the Truro Working Men ' s Association , on Monday last , it was unanimously resolved that £ 1 be sent to the committee for the management of the fuuds for the support of the wives and families of the imprisoned Chartists . Likewise lfa . was voted from the funds to be sent to the National Executive Council ; and
it was also resolved that the members do become enrolled in the National Charter Association . Our numbers at present are but small , but we are in hopes of our labours proving successful , in drawin g others into oar ranks . We have also voted 10 s . io be sent to the "Frost , Williams , and Jenea Restoration Committee , " and we have petitions in course of signature , which , when filled , will be sent to the above committee , to be presented to the Queen by three workiDg men , being in our opinion the best representatives of our cause , our feelings , wishes , wants , and grievances .
GAXWSBBO ' . —The standard of Chartism has been uplifted here . At a recent meeting , a subscription was entered into for the incarcerated victims , and three rattling cheers were given for O'Connor . RUGBY . —Mr . Henry Candy , who was requested to agitate the three counties of Warwick , Stafford , and Worcester , arrived at Rugby on Saturday , from Nuneaton . On Monday night , we got up a meeting , which was well attended , and he gave us an excellent lecture ; when , in a most able manner , he fully explained the principles and object of the People ' s Charter , to the satisfaction of his hearers . He
concluded by an affecting appeal to them , exhorting them from that night forward to be up and doing , and join in the holy struggle of right against might . He sat down amidst the most enthusiastic applause . Several gave their names in to become members . A vote of thanks was given to the lecturer ; the health of ilr . O'Connor wa 3 drank with the greatest enthusiasm ; and also , " Frost , Williams , and Jones , and their speedy return , and the liberation of all the incarcerated victims . " The whole of the evening ' s proceedings were conducted with the greatest propriety . The seed sown will be productive of great good in this Tory and priest-ridden place .
MANSFIELD , —Since the inhabitants of this town have been favoured with a batch of the " New Police , " it has become matter of doubt with the " unwashed" whether , in the event of their walking up the street , they shall be allowed to return again the same way , as the town crier , among others , has been prosecuted for the atrocious crime of standing in the streets of his native town . However the prosecution broke down , and the blue coat was found not altogether " fly . " The Chabtists havb established , in Mansfield , a kind of debating society , and opened a reading room , both of which are well attended .
SCOTCH CBAHTXSm . —Movements of Mr . Habket . —On Monday evening , Feb . 1 st , I addressed a most magnificent meeting in the Thistle Hall , Dundee ; I pretend not t » give any particulars , as , in the Dundee ChronicU , will be f « nnd a report of the meeting , which you will probaUly transfer to your columns . " Bonnie Dundee" is aow at the head of the movement iu Scotland . Chartism is there all-powerful and all-triumphant ; the Democratic Council , representingand supported by the several Trades' Political Associations , virtually commands tbe town ; the Chronicle , in the hands of the Chartists , has already made their
influence to be felt ; aud that organ of popular rights , once firmly established , ( which It may be , if the men of Dundee are true to themselves , ) will be an all-potent engine for good in the national cause . I may add , that thrice ou tbe Sabbath-day , each week , do hundreds of the toiling classes listen to tbe eloquent strains of our leal-hearted friend , John Duncan , poured forth in vindication of the eternal rights of man . For the first time iu Dundee , the poor and the oppressed have " tbe gospel preached unto them" in reality , by one whose character may be summed up iu these few words ;—he ia •< bold enough t * be honest , and honest enough to be bold . "
The day may be distant , which it probably ia , when I shall again visit Dundee ; but wherever my destiny may bid my pilgrimage , it will be with feelings of pleasure I shall summon up the recollections of the past , and with pride bethink me , that I enjoy tbe confidence , and have the warm wishes , of ita " honest men and bonnie lasses . " Wednesday , Feb . 3 d—Crossed the Tay to Newport , and ( passing through Capar-of-Fife ) after a walk of eighteen miles , reached Kettle , where , at eight o ' clock that evening , I addressed a very good meeting in the sehool-houae , Kettle-bridge ; that veteran in the cauae , Mr . Alexander Henderson , presiding as chairman . The inimitable manner in which he scourged the " black slugs" justly entitled him to the applause his townsmen were not alow to award . Thursday tbe 4 th—Left Kettle , passing through Falkland and Strathmiglo ; after a walk of sixteen miles , reached Kinross .
The Chartists here are not a large body , but though few are true . I addressed a very good meeting ; at the dose of my address , it was intimated by the chairman , that a proposition was under the consideration of the Council ( in the event of an election ) to introduce to the counties of Clackmanan and Kinross , William Devonshire Saull , Esq ., of London , as Radical candidate , in opposition to the Whig taol end placeman , Admiral Adam . A resolution was passed at the meeting , inviting Mr . Saull to explain his views and principles upon public subjects , particularly as te the People ' s Charter . I may here mention that the Kinross Chartists have commenced tbe necessary steps to cards the erecting of a public hall , which , once accompb' shed , will enable them to laugh at the petty tyranny of the idiotic , knavish " respectables , " whose attempt to " put down" Chartism only exhibits their own impotency , and the strength of the principles they vainly contend against .
j Friday the 5 th—Left Kinross , passing through Dollar , and TillicouHry ; after a walk of eighteen miles reached Alva in the evening . Saturday the 6 th—Addressed the Alva democrats . Here , as at Kinross , the working men have had many difficulties to contend with , consequent upon ths want of a place of meeting ; but " first of the brave , foremost of the free , " has long been the character of the men of Alva , and not disgracing their name , manfully have they gone to work . Shares have been taken , the cash gotten , and , within a week or two , will commence the erection of their own ball . Thia is good . This is the right way of fighting the battle ; would to heaven that the Chartists of every other town would " go and do likewise . "
Alva , with Kinross , is misrepresented by that Whig hack the * ' gallant Admiral , " of cat o' nine tails notoriety ; rumours are afloat here , that upon a bone being flung to the drivelling eld quarter-deck tyrant , he will make way for that very personification of all rascality Fox Maule ; but let me warn the Fox that 'twill be no child ' s play at Dollar , the day he exhibits himself upon the hustings—if he shall dare—th « Alva lads are preparing , aud by all their hopes of " happy homes and altars free , " by all their hatred of tyranny , and heartfelt detestation of tyrant ' s reptile tools , have they sworn to " maule his nese V "
Petitioning fob the Charter . —The annual farce has been gone through by her Majesty ; and the rival factions have again met , not to redress grievances , but to fight for power . Daring the recess it was agreed by the delegates , who met at Manchester and Glasgow , that petitions should be presented to the representatives of the middle classes , in St . Stephen ' s assembled . There are some who have been disgusted with the treatment the people's petitions have received from Honourable Members ; and have , therefore , determined to petition no more . We cannot think this wise or politic This fora of expressing our opinions is a right which , as Britens , we ought to prize . It legalizes our meetings , and gives assurance of safety in our attempts t « spread our principles . It is a means of keeping the agitation before the public mind ; and if it should aot alarm or convince our sapient
legislators , it is , at least , an excellent instrument by which to annoy them ; and , above all , it is a plan so cheap and simple that it interferes not with any scheme that may be proposed or carried into effect by our more obdurate friends , who have determined never to petition . Throughout this session let us petition . Petition in thousands , and in tens of thousands , as communities , associations , and individuals , till the walls of the House shall re-echo the words—Universal Suffrage , the People ' s Charter , Justice to O'Connor , Frost , and his companions . Let the Central Committee of England and Scotland take up the subject ; let the districts prepare petitions for their Members ; and let every Chartist petition by aimsolf , and thereby prove that we are the majority—that we are determined , and that it will be dangerous auich longer to resist the righteous demands of a naited people .
