BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS . To Mr . Proufc , 229 , Strand , London . Dartford , Jan . 2 , 1841 . SIR , —I have much pleasure in stating to you that Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills have been of the greatest service to me . Between nine and ten months ago I became afflicted with that most painful disease Sciatica ; the agonising pain which I Buffered in my legs and thighs for so long a period , baffles any description which I can possibly give of my then miserable state . I could seldom obtain either rest or sleep . 1 had the best medical advice , including that of two physiciaBS in London , without obtaining any essential relief . I went to Margate , and had the best medical advice , trying the warm bath there and at other places , without obtaining any benefit . A short tima ago I was recommended to try Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills ; audw&s thereby induced to purchase a box of this valuable medicine of Messrs . Hammond and Co .. chemists , of this town , and before I had taken the quantity therein contained , I was entirely free from pain , and speedily recovered my health by taking a few more Pills , aud happily there has been no return of this distressing malady . You are at liberty to publish my case , in the hope thereby that this excellent medicine may be the means of relieving others . ' I am , Sir , y _ our ' s respectfully , ¦ J . B . MISKIN , Brewer and maltster , Dartford , Kent . P . S . —If I could posisibly speak in stronger terms 'of your invaluable medicine , I should bemosthsppy , for it ia impossible for language to describe the relief I have experienced . The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism , have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times . They not only give relief in a few hours , where the patient has been driven nearly to madness by the excruciating tortures of this disease , but restore to perfect health in an inconceivably short space ot time . They » ro equally speedy and certain 'in rheumatism , either chronic or acute , lumbago , 'sciatica , pains in the head or face , and indeed for every rheumatio or gouty affection ; in fact , such has been the rapidity , perfect ease , and complete safety of this medicine , that it has astonished all who have taken it , and there is not a city , town , or village in the kingdom , but contains many grateful evidences of the benign influence of this medicine . Sold by T , Prout , 229 , Strand , London , Price Is . l ^ d * per box , and ky his appointment , by . Heaton , Hay , Allea , Land , Tarbotton , Smith , Bell , Townsend , Baines and Newsorae , Smeeton , Reinhardt , Leeds ; Brooke , Dtwsbwy ; DennU & Son , Moxon , Little , Hardsasm , Linney , Hargrove , York : Brooke * C « ., Walker * Ce > ., Staford , Paulkaer Doaoaster , ' Jidsoi , Harrison , Ripon ; Fog-Ett , Thompson , Thirsk ; Wiley , EasingwoU ; upland , Fell , Spivey , Huddersfield ; Ward , Richmond ; C&nteren , Knaresbro '; Pease , Oliver , Darlington ; Dixon , Metcalfe , Langdale , Northallerton Rhodes , Snaith ; Goldthorpe , Tadcaster ; Rogenon , Cooper , Newby , K » y , Bradford ; Brice , Priestley , Pontefract ; Card well , Gill , Lawton , Dawson , Smith Wakefield ; Berry , Denton ; Suter , Ley land , Hartley , Parker , Dunn , Halifax ; Booth , Rochdale Lambert , Boronghbridge ; Dalby , Wetherby •• Waite ' Harrogate ; and all respectable Medicine Venders throughout the kingdom .

—( hear , bear , *—and tibose who are now in prison would have been considered patriots «» en by tbo&e -who bave been their tyrants . —( Hear sod che « ra >) Ha ¦ would not oecnpy any more of their time , but would * t onoe Introduce Mx . Griffin , who had been annoxaeed to deliver a lecture that evening , ilr . < Sbjf . p . i * rose and be&ed to be excused , as Mr . Botterworth had just KtmBsd from a tour , and if be was -m ths room , he wjould be glad if he would officiate -for him . Mr . Bcr 7 £ SV « STB tfr « p came forward < t » the -reetnun amid tiw cheers of tho assembly , and , after 4 few prepantojy remarks , said , if they went ro&sd the »» mf »« tanu -districts , and examined the condition Of the people , 'they "Would find them all tSSot . They would find ttoe was a sameness in the « waduo £ -of the middle classes to thai practised by the middle -classes
< a Manchester . There was the same iron feand of tyranay and oppression at work through , all it * manufacturing districts . There was the same sxode of conduct ; which was to grind , grasp , and screw , * e much as they could oat of the industrious class , en the part cf those who . produce nothixg , but enjoy all the comforts . nature aniart could produce ; while , oa tbe other bsjli , theiA VU a gloom of despair caused by wretchedness , oppresses , faiaily destitution , and want , « u the trows of those who produce everything , but eosld not obtain sufficient to support their physical wants . The middle class , the shopkeepers and manufacturers , Were all agreed ujton one point , namely , to procure as nisei labour as tbej -could from the working-men for ss little money ss . possible . They had come to the conelusUa that they were to do just as they liked with the
working-classes—tfeey can either make them work for a starvation point , « r send them into the streets to live apon the air , for atgfct these wretches care . Well , then , aid Mr . Batterworth , if they are determined to play this game ; and , indeed , thte laws say that you , the workiBg elass , must still keep producing for us who have the power of saving them ; if they are determined to bring you lower and lower—and every aei shews it to be so ; if they still continue to make encroachments upon joer rights , liberties , and labour as they have done , until your physical powers are so low ttiat you are not capable of folio-wing your labour , and your food insufficient to sapport nature ; if they ( the capitalists ) have banded themselves together to conspire against to ruin the labourers ; ought not you it . be labourers ) to join for the obtsinment of tha law to protect one equally with the other ? ( Hear and cheers . ) 3 Ir . Butterworth said he had been at Burnley , and a
document had bsen put into his hand which had been issued hj the master shoe-makers of that town ; and that which was applicable to one town or to one trade , would be applicable to every town , to every trade , and indeed to the whole mass of society- He would read a portion at the circular sent eut by the masters , the following of Which is a copy : — " Sir , —Ton are requested to attend a meeting of the master shoemakers of Burnley , at the house of Robert Jackson , New Market In , at 8 o ' clock in the evening , to take into consideration the reduction at wages , as it is necessary to more equalise them with other towns . The journeymen are coming forward to ** nst the steam weaver ? , on conditions that they assist them , if necessity requires , at any other time . This is forming a barrier which -we never can break , if we miss this opportunity ; now is the time , or nerer ! " Mr . Batterworth said that the kind-hearted and humane man who wrote that concluded with the worda
¦•• fcow or never ! " > ow or never f » r wha >? Why , cow is the time , or sever , t # take another part of the wages of the industrious mem ! To bring" them another degree lower in the stage of human existence . To take another part of the food and clothiag which should be appropriated to fill the bellies and clothe th « backs Ot their already starving and famisaing wives and childrem . ^ Shame , shame . ) People who read thatcir-0 olar would conclude that the masters were in a most deplorable condition ; yea , every one of you would naturally suppose so . But he would inform them that be bad been at their houses , and he had seen among the rest , that very charitable and sympathising gentleman who wrote that circular—iexacratien)—and he was surprised and disgusted when he found them in a better condition than those they , wished to rob of th « ir fruits
Of industry , and better , too , than men ought to be ¦ w bo produce nothing , bat live upon the labour of others . { Hear , hear . ) Reduction after reduction in the wages of . the operatives seemed to be the order of the day , and would be so as long as the capitalists were protected by law , and labour unprotected . The lecturer proceeded fa this lice of argument tax some time , and then adverted to the Corn Law agitation . He said , there are a number of men who attribute the evili of the present system , to the Com Laws , and these nen will stoop to every thing , and stop at nothing to gain a plausible point , always keeping in view that they are stimulated to their benevolent actions by the miserible condition cf the people . Bat , forsooth , some of these men had been reducing the -wages of their hands for t& » last ¦ twenty years , and had amassed enough of wealth
to build large mills , stately mansions , possess a onsiderable amount of cottage property , live in the greatest splendour and affluence , keep race horses , hunting hounds , and any quantity of women for their own lustful gratification , in addition t * which they int-csted largu sumi in rail-my speculations and banking ompaniea . ( Cries of Hear , hear , and " That ' s true , lad . " ) Mr . Batterworth said he had seen a placard npon the walls tince he caxie . in the town , which hid been put out by the Whigs , which he hop « d the Chartists would taks the liberty of exposing . The placa-d in question called upon the Chartists to look af ikt their leader * , and asked them waat they were doing , and identifying the- Chartists -with Mr . Nigktingale , and the sending of him to Walsall on an electioneering tour . Kow , said Mr . B ., it is well known that . Vishtinrale
is not & member of the Chartist Asstxristion , nor ia he any way connected with the Chartists of Manchester , and that the Chartists had not anything to da with sending him to Walsall , nor ¦ wo uld they have anything to do with either Whig or Tory . ( Cheers- ? Here Mr . Butterworth dwelt at some length , and -with his usual ability , upon tte fallacies and specious pretences of the Corn Law Rspealers . Mr . B . said he was as great an opponent to the Corn La-ra as the bsst of them , aad would wish to see them repealed ; but before he weald join a party , who wanted' to gain an object for their own selfish purposes , be would go with his own party , She Chartists , and straggle for thst power -which would
guarantee that the -working classes should ceuie in for the benefit , aad would protect both alike . ( Cheers . ) He said it was not the object of the Chartists to take ttat from them ( the rich ) which they had plundered from the people , bet it was tlje object , and he thought a very right and cogent one , to Btop ttem from robbing them any farther . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . B . then referred to the combination of the middle classes . Now , said he , we are taujht in £ b « unerring ¦ standard of divine truth— " That charity is a password to the realms of bliss . " Bnt what feelings , what harity , c * cld there be assigned to those masters who tamed taeir hands into the street , because thai * mimis
wexe not so contracted ana circumscribed as their own , because they dare to be Chartists . He ithe lecturer ) knew hundreds of men who were kept out of w » rk , because of their principles . These mast « rs pat a brand mark upea their wen , turntd them out of employment , and used tiieir exertions to keep them so the remainder of their lives . ( Shame . ) Shame , yes . If that -were the position in which they were placed , liberty surely was worth the struggling for . When the people got power , the tyranny of the Blaster was at an end . Hitherto there had only b * en one side to a bargain . If a labourer- went to a master , to reason with him jtxrat his wages , or to ctate his own figure for his work , tbe master would tell him to go about his business , at the same time calling him an impertinent fellow . Here Mr . B . brought a case in point A manufac
turer in Bradford reduced bis hands from two shillings to one shilling and aiaepenee ; and gave sotke that if they did not tarn off the same quantity of work allotted to them , he would take 3 s . 6 d . ; so that it would b « more benefit to tbe matter for then sot to perform the proper qoastam of work than otherwise ; and it was the opiniom of the spiauees that difficulties bad many times been thrown in their way for that vary purpose . iSaarnB . ) One nan went to the natter to Eave as interview with him about the restriction , tilling bin at tbe same time that he had promised to take it off The natter replied , " that if he did * ay m , he was a fool j and h « would say farther , that if he , fid «* y » , ke did mot mean to stick to it ! " { Shame . )
Sobbtries like these ware taking place continually , and tbe working peoplf of this country were brought to this position—that to be in employment was slavery and atarvattou , and to be without was very littie won * . Hs » Me . Butterworth drew a most deplorable picture et tht factory slaves , which completely electrified ana lltrrifted bib bearers , whea he was describing their tothMf , tbeirfood , tteir bouses , their sma ; i wages , aad ths contaminating and unwholesome atmosphere ; aad , lastly , tbe long hours which they had to be ixnl prisoned . After whieb , he said it was ho overdrawn picture , and asked whether such a state of things ought to exist for one minate » Mr . Butterworth aext comseated upoa tbe conduct of tbe ministers of the fiwpel , and said that instead of thei declaring from

ie pulpit that soch conduct wss wrong—instead of tying , " Cursed is he that oppreaseth the poor , " they jnniTOd at it They told tha people that the more ley starred npon earth , the greater reward would they soeive ia heaven . They now and then "would t * y to aother and console the poor by telling them " that it i easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle , lan for a rich man to enter heaven . " These men , at last ¦ only a part of tfeem , received from the public arse , for preaching this passive aad humiliating docrkre , . £ 9 , » o » , »§» peryeat . This did not argue that bey , at any rate , wished , to be poor—that they should five bad houses , baa oldtbes , and bad provision ; it did ot argue that these men wishei to go with an empty « tly or bare back , in order to get to heaven . (
Laughter , aad a voice— " JFet they . " ) No , their actions gave the lie direct to their doctrine . They appeared to take great thought rt » ut the good things of this life , and to ran the risk of what might be iheir sitm&Uon in tbe next He , for Ids part , wished to see the people comfortable in this life , that men might as weil—nay , could better serve -God with a full belly thaa am empty one ; and he wu confirmed in this belief by the fact that the land wawcapable of producing" saffieieBtfor three times the number of human being * already in existence . The fault musk sot blasphemously be laid apon God . But rather let « s , said he , lay the fault upon the wicked men , the tyraats . Tyrants did he say ! No , upon them—the people—for allowing it ( Hear . ) The rich have no natural privileges over tbe poor—they came
into the world the same ; therefore , it wa * the ptople * * own fault , and it wai the people ' s d » ty to put things right Mr . Btttterworth also alluded t « the conduct of Sydney Smith , in London , and thought the magistrate right in being-a friend to free and open discusson . The fact was , the people had been bandied about like » kuttle-cocks , and would b « , so long as they were divided amsng themselves . There onght to be a sameness , a oneness of purpose . The Government seeded no greater strength t * * " to know that the people were divided , and now the people went together for one object The celebrated lecturer , who was striving-for the poor , would not let them have admittance , unless the police were * there to lock their jaw ^ , in case they object to some of their most confounded and audacious statements . < H »» , hear . ) Mr . B . then , in a masterly
style combatted the charge of ignorance broaght against tbe people , at * reason wby they should not possess the Suffrage . He , then , consecutively went through every thing which tie people produce for the rich , as a standing argument , that they had sufficient intelligence for every thing ¥ ut political power . Man ' s intelligence might be tried by an outward act He very propeily directed his hearers to the grand performances of the working men as exemplified in all the great shops of Manchester . After touching upon many other points , he concluded by hoping , that if there was any one present , who objeeUd to anything advanced , he would come forward , and they Ibis hearers ) wonld give him a hearing , and sat do-wn amid the vociferous cheers of the people . The regular notices were given out , and the meeting dispersed , highly delighted with the treat they bad had .
The leading Chartists , assembling at Brownstreet room , Manchester , met on Monday eTening last , and after the reading of the circular of Messrs . Lovett , Collins , OXcil , and Co ., which doeument states that it would be considered a breach of honour for any person to cause its publication at present , passed the following resolutions unanimously : — " That this Council viewB with deep sorrow and indignation , thi conduct of Messrs . Lovett , Collins , and Co ., in endeavouring to create a counter agitation , to tbe immediate establishment of the People ' s Charter as the law of tbe land ; tbe said Council pledge themselv * never to entertain any crotchets manufactured by the great Dan , or any of hi * tail , or any apoitate Chartist , short of Universal Suffrage , and tha ' . as speedily as possible . " " That this resolution be sent to the Northern Star for insertion . "
GLASGOW . —A public meeting of the inhabitants of Crlasgow and neighbourhood was held in tbe Christian Chartist Church , on Friday evening , April 2 d , for the purpose of appointing a delegate to the Chartist Convention ; Mr . Cailen was unanimously called to the chair , who , after reading the placard , cautioned , the meeting , when discussing the merits of any individual who migat be propased as a candidate , to avoid all asperity of language , and U steer carefully clear of any thing like party spirit , and to hear , with due decorum and attention , any individual who might address tbe meeting , whether for or against the proposition . < C heers . ) Wjr . Jack conceived that it was necessary , previous to appointing a delegate , to discuss the possibility of gettinj up a great National Petition , in time for
the meeting of Convention , on tbe 12 th ; for bis part , be believed it impossible , and that to do it justice , a much longer period would be required . Mr . John Rodger said , that with all due deference to Mr . O'Connor , and no man respected him more than be did , be was of the same opinion with Mr . Jack ; be considered that it would be detrimental to our cause , if we did not double the number of names attached to tbe last National Petition , and he belisved they would be so if a little mor * tim « were given . Many of bis acquaintances , who were Whigs and Tories , were new beginning to acknowledge that the Chartists were right after all . ( Cheers . ) He wonld , therefore , propose as a recommendation that instead of the 12 th of April , being the day of meeting , it should be the 3 d of May . Mr .
Colquhoun , in order that ri » thing might , be well done , sooondwi tne recommendation . A gentleman in the meeting thought it very curious that the shortness of the time had not been sooner discovered , and the coontry earlier apprised of such a recommendation ; for bis part be saw no difficulty in tbe matter . Another individual thought that it would take six months —( cries of " Oh , oh , " )—to get up the petition properly . The last National Petition had taken more than that time . Mr . Wilkie scouted the idea of the last speaker ; when the last National Petition was got up , they had the ¦ wh » le country to organise . It was not so now , when erery city , t « wn , and village in the kingdom was organized , and had its acting committee for the time ; part of it they were hearty in tbe cause . It wa « amply
sufficient He had been connected with the getting up of a petition in Glasgow , which was despatched in eight days , with 45 , «» o signatures . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Allan thought they should consider if they were ready in other respects . " Yes , " said a voice , " we are ready with the siller . " iCheers . ) Mr . Ross was one of those who thought that the time was rather short ; but he could assure them that , so far as Glasgow and Lanarkshire were concerned , they had plenty of time to get a splendid list of signatures by the 3 rd of May . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Jack stated that he had already written to every town in Lanarkshire . Mr . Watson , reporter for the Chronicle , Journal , and Post newspapers remarked that Mr . O'Connor , perhaps , was not aware when be proposed the 12 th , that tbe Parliament which adjourns .
on the 6 th , for the Easter recess , was not again to meet until the 28 th . A person here stated that it was his impression , wben reading Mr . O'Connor ' s plan , that his idea for the Convention meeting on tae 12 th or 14 th , was that they would be able to arrange the different matters that might be brought before them , and in organising tho districts of London , and having the petition ready to present immediately after the recess , when the stTtngth of the members would be present ( Cries of " True , true . " ) The recommendation was then put for arid against , -when tae recommendation was carried . A discussion next ensued upon the wages of the delegate , in which Messrs . Ross , Pittison , M'Farlane , Thomsen , Kodger , Jack , Maicolm , Wilkie , and others took a part :-after which it
was agreed that they should pay their own delegate , and , if need be , assist poorer districts , who were , perhaps , not so able to pay for a delegate as they were ; it was , also agreed that tbe delegate should receive ten pounds for expsnees , to carry him to a « d from London , with £ 3 10 a . per week for wages . The following gentlemen were then nominated as candidates : —Messrs . Moir , MEwan , M'Farlane , Pattison , Malcolm , and Cullen . Mr . Ross w » s then appointed to tbe chair , in the room of Mr . Cullen : Mr . Ross bad just taken tbe chair , wben he was nominated as a candidate . Mr . Thomson was called to tbe chair next -, be bad also got into tbe chair , but having been also nominated , Mr . AUau was called to fill his place , amid great langhter and cheering . Mr . Moir stated that he wai sorry that he eoale \ not stand as a candidate , in
consequence of his own private affairs . He had but lately removed his business to a larger establishment , and he could not » n any account leave it for any length of time . He shosid have been happy to have gone to London , had his own affairs permitted him . All the other individuals , with tbe exception of Mr . Cullen , were also placed in circumstances that rendered It impossible for them to accept of the office . Mr . Cullen , after being strongly recommended by Mr . M'Farlane and Mr . Moir , was elected the delegate . Mr . Callen returned thanks for tbe honour they had conferred npon biai : be said that no persecution or opprobrium -would ever make him swerve from his duty , and one of the first objects he would ardently attend to In his intercoarse with Members of Parliament would be tbe libeiation of his fellow-Chartists in prison and in exile . ( Cheers . ; The meeting then dissolved .
ELGIN . —It is now two months since a Working Men's Association has been formed here ; about ene month before which tlms we had a visit from Mr . Julian Harney , whieb . I may say , was the commencement of oar Association . He delivered two lectures , which have left a lasting impression npon tboasands f his hearers . At his last lecture , there were present a good sprinkliag of tbe middle classes , and among the rest was oar Sheriff Since our commencement , we have had to « ontend wttfc very groat difficulties to get a plaee of meeting rested , which iw very difficult to be obtained . At last we got one . We then agreed upon issuing an address ; sent it off to Glasgow to be
printed . ¦ We at present hold weekly meetings , which are always fall ; last night being . \ he fullest we have had yet , and we added five new m embers to our number . When Mr . O'Connor ' s new nWe of agitating aad petitioning for Chartut prisoners and tbe Charter appeared in tbe Star , a meet ing was beld , ¦* T&en it was agreed to adopt the same petition , and a reaoMtion wa passed , that in the course of next week , a m eeting of all the inhabitants be called to lay tbe said petition before them , and implore their assistance in peh Zoning in favour of Chartist prisoners , and the Charter . Oar contribution towards defraying tbe expences of tbe Convention will ix » forwarded before tbe 12 tb «* ApriL >
