SOCIALISIYI . AFTER Three Nights' Discussion on the above Subject , on the Evenings of Wednesday , Thursday , and Friday , the 5 th , 6 th , and 7 th Inst ., at Ryan ' s Royal Amphitheatre , Birmingham , between Mr . LLOYD JONES and Mr . JOHN BRINDLEY , before successive Audiences of upwards" of Three Thousand each , the following ReBohition was passed by an overwhelming Majority : — Resolved—That , the misery which exists in society , and the starvation and distress which have existed for years , and which go on increasing , prove , beyond uoabt , that the present state of society is founded on aa erroneous basis . That ; the Socialists propose means for the removal of the evil , and a complete alteration from this state of suffering and misery , and are consequently entitled to the approbation and support of all men who love their fellow-creatures , and desira to establish their permanent comfort and happiness . That Mr . Brindiey and the anti-Socialists have not proposed any means , as a remedy for the miseries that are admitted by all parties to exist ; and their opposition appears to be grounded in a mere love of the profits ' and emoluments which they receive from the suffering people ; and they evidently have no desire to remove these evils , but , on the contrary , wish to perpetuate them .

THE NATIONAL PETITION . Vb . Pocokbe has given notice that on the 25 th ' nstani ha will present the National Petition to die Commons . We think this & very judicious -jnn gement . It will afford the Convention time ^ canvas the members , and it will afford tla country time to double and treble the num ber of signatures now affixed to it , if there be yet men or women enough in the country who h » Te not signed . Stir , then , stir ! Every one to his pen . Every one to his sheet . Sign , and ask his ajighbour to sign . Let it be , indeed , & National Petition ) worthy of the name . At this crisis
njthiDg can ke more "nport&nt than that jjjjj petition should be more numerously signed gjaa e ver was petition signed before . One thing ghonld be noticed particularly . In sending off the petitions from the respective towns to Mr . Duscokbb , e * ch town may send as many as it pleases , t > nt no single one must weigh more than gixieen ounces . All above that weight are charged postage . Mr . Dckcombb has jjready paid a considerable sum for postages in this way . This must be avoided . If any town finds its petition weigh more than sixteen ounces , it nnsi be divided into two or three , as the case may
require-Besides the National Petition to be Bent to j £ r . Dcscoube , it would be well to inundate the House wiUi similar petitions , of an individual and gocial character , signed by ones , twos , threes , fours , md so on . Let them go bythonsands ; find work , at least , for the post-office clerks , -whom you are »» de to paj . Let the relatives and friends of every political prisoner iDs ; antly transmit to Mr . Du ^ cohbe , and
to sach other Members of Parliament as , from the Cojiventionreports , they may perceive to be favourable to our cause , a full account of the situation they are in . The time they have to remain according to sentence ; the treatment they have received , and are receiving ; their state of health ; the number , age , and circumstances of their respective families ; and every other necessary information ; bo thai justice may be done to their several eases , when ike petition is presented . Now i 3 the time for action ; let not a moment be lost .

EDINBURGH . GLOSIOCS A > T > COHPLKTB CHAKTIsT TICTOET OVES THE " BLOODIES . " THE TIBST BATTLE FOCGHT AJfD WOX HUSiAH FOB THE CHARTER , A * D DOWN WITH THE " BLOODIES . " Bt the Pope , is was a smasher , sure enough ! ye ? , Kotargham has done all : but for Nottingham the Whigs might have floundered through another contest . Well ; bat to the immediate subject . Babbingios wrote last week to bis constituents to " pipe all hands , " " crowd all canvas , " and shove tha ship a
head . In conformity with the Cabinet order , the B Bloodies , " ( what a nice name for them I ) issued a circular on Saturday last , headed "LiberalInterest " ( 0 , how pure I ) and convened a meeting for Monday , to expres 3 approval of the Government measures , which Bab told them WOULD BE suggested . However , the " bloodies" taking defeat to be as certain as it was merited , jndged that their friends would be left in a minority , and resolved upon sympathy by anticipation . The Chartists , ever on the alert , issued the following manly public document , in answer to the "Whig challenge : —
" THE LAST KICK . ' " W 0 BiI > "G ME * . ' " Ton are called upon to attend a Public Meeting in support of the Wnigs , to day , in the Assembly Rooms , at one o ' clock- Crowd , thea , and let your Toiw be bewd in the Hall of the Aristocracy ; and tell the Whigs that note they most sink for ever as a party . " They came into oEce pledged to Economy , Peaee , sod Retrenchment ; bat how have they redeemed their pledge ? By giving the Slaveholders £ 20 , 000 , 000 , — to giving to a GenmTO ^ oman £ 100 , 000 annually , —by
proposing £ 58 , 000 annually to a German Prince , —by increasing the Pension List—increasing Taxation £ 5 , 000 , 000— adding £ 60 , 000 , 600 to the : National Debt , kc fcc And , as to * Peace , " they coerced the Irish , murdered the Canadians , for refusing to be robbed , aod murdered the Chinese for not submitting to be poisoaed ! And their ' Retrenchment' his only been shown in a lavish expenditure upon Judges , Lwyea , and Jobbers . Remember 1831 , the promises they then made , and the fiUjiimerd of them , and see if yon can trust them now , -when b e gging for political existence .
" Remember , when the Whigs had the povrer to repe&l the Corn La-ws , they always resisted any alteration of them ; they propose now to repeal them , in Cffdei to get your sympathies , to enable " them to contusue in the possession of place and pay . Such of the faction as may be sincere in their wish for a repeal of the Corn Laws , are so for the purpose of bringing about & BEDrCTIOS OF WAGES . "Rallt : then , and defeat the ' base , bloody , and brutal Whin , ' as O'Connell well named them .
" P . S . They have sent private Circulars to their Friends , the aggregate committee , in number 400 or 500 , to be in the rooms at TWELVE o'Clock to pack the Meeting . Be at your post also at twelve o ' clock , and 1 * 0 SCERESDEB ] ] I " Mondvy morrir . ing , May 16 . 1841 . " On ilonday the " bloodies" crowded fo the immense Assembly Room a full hour or two before the appoinied time for commencing business , and were admitted by private entrances ; when the legitimate hour arrived , however , the " boys" flew ^ to the rescue , and literally crammed the spacious Hill . We give the ifollowing Ii 3 t of distinguished gentlemen on the " Bloodies" side , as we find it in the Edinburgh Advertiser : —
_ " Vpos the p ' jitfonn we observed among others—Sir Juries Gibson Craig , Mr . Wigham , ill . Younger of Newlacds , advccite , Mr . Miller of D-ilswinton , Mr . Adam Black , Bailie Richardson , Bailie Johnston , CoL Sieae , Mr . J . F . M-Farian , Mr . Andrew Miller , ilr . Junes Aytorm , advocate , Mr . Crauford , advocate , Mr . Bnr . on , adTocate , Mr . Tait , bookseller , Mr . Charles it ' Laren , Cooncillor R . Richardson , ConnciaorFalkner . Hi . Morcrciff , advocate , Mr R . Hunter , advocate . Mr . E . iiaiiland , ad v ocate , Mr .

S ., < fcc . and several other Chartists , also tx / k their station on the platform .
Thus was every drop of Whig blood 5 « t in motion . VeiljSir J . GiBso . t , the Whig "Sir , " moved one Mr . Black to the chair , and then the fi ^ hi began . The gentiemeDinoTed Mr . WATSos , ofihe Chartists' racks . The amendment was carried by an overwhelming ni 3 Jori : T , and when the blistered hands and no kid skins , but honest leather , were seen , off scampered ihe main body of the " bloodies" to a closet , where thirty of the fugitives passed resolutions ( after the sacrifice of many " minor differences'J of sympathy * ad condolence with themselves , and confidence in their H 035 * . A few rat-catchers remained behind , but far better had it been for them had they likewise bolt-ed .
Robeet Lo"weby moved a resolution of scorn * ad contempt for the Whigs , and supported it by * a able asd powerful speech , for which we regret we haTe not room . Dr . Glovee , another Chartist , Heondcd ihe resolution in another powerful and e&c ; ive speech . A Mr . Ceaitoed , an Advocate Mm is , a barrister ) , moved an amendment , dec&ring confidence in the Whip , and a Mr . HoscaiE ? , another limb of the law , seconded it , and we feel assured , that while we regret not having * P ace for Loweet ' s or Gloveb ' s speech , the advocates would much more regret seeing a second Whion of their nonsense in type . We never waded tbroBgh i greater heap of incomprehensible
"forenac rubbish in our time . One advocate declared «** a resolution of icant of confidence was irrele-Ttot to the question for the consideration of which « M meetiDg was convened , and which was a vote ° f conjure iE toe Whigs . Here ' s Scotch logic ! Tae other advocate declared that the Whigs , if for nothiD ^ el « deserved the support of . every good »» fl for their philanthropic measure , the " Xae Poor Zsuy Ta ^ announcement was met by a wm of hisses , - and lond and reiterated sho « ts of Hurrah for Nottingham . " Aye , so say we Hurrah , aurrah , snd Hurrah ag ^ in , for Nottingham I But r * " oar Ba 7 ' 3 g it compared to the men of Edin-^ fgh saying it , Wn 0 jo ^ ^ " nrns of the working « liie inferuii machine ?

above all we hava ever written , prove the strong union and great sympathy which now exists among the working classes ; not upon mere personal matters , but upon general principles . Here we find strangers to the New Poor Law taking the word of their brethren as their guide , and actually cheering the return of the proprietor of the Time * newspaper , because their brethren of Nottingham consider his , even his , return as a stab in the side of the enemy . They say this measure most be a searing iron to the souls of our English fellow-labourers , a serpent , a scorpion , a dagger , a devil , eke would they never join in the retitb of a Tory to mark their condemnation of it . If the Learned Advocates mike no better defence for their other clients , God help the clients !
We rejoice to Bee Lowebv once more in the straight path : we yere convinced that his error was bnt that of momentary anxiety to deal any even a too hasty and injudicious blow at the old offender . He has now got them right before him , and let him leather away .

PORTRAIT OF EMMETT . Specikexs of the Portrait of that real Irish Patriot , Robebt EjfMETT , Esq ., Barrister-at-Law , who was murdered by the Tories in 1803 , are now in the hands of our several Agents , and to which we invite special attention . Emmett is represented as he stood in the Dock , awaiting sentence of death , at the dose of his memorable speech in which he had defied his persecutors to do their worst , and in which he had enumerated some of their many crimes aeainit the people , whose resistance be
justified , and whose defeat he deplored . When the Portrait is presented , which it will be during the course of next month , or early in July , we shall print in the Slar a Memoir of the brave and heroic Emmett , which will include the speech above spoken of . Subscribers' names must be entered immediately , as it will be presented to none else . The next Plate we shall prepare for presentation after Emmett is the " Monmouth Court House . " It is far advanced towards completion .

POST-OFFICE ORDERS . —All persons sending money to this Office by Post-office Order , are especially requested to make their orders payable to Mr . John Ardill , as , by a recent alteration in the Post-office arrangements , any neglect of this would cause os a great amount of trouble and annoyance .

find it . Wit ! he send us another cojot /? We would have written him by post , but have not his aildress . Samuel Tebkell Thomas , " of East Stonehouse , near Plymouth , writes us that he knows one "leading Chartist , " who figures as a subscriber to the " new move ' document , " who was a member oj the National Charter Association , but whose ^ conduct became so strange and umcarrantalle , thai , about three or Jour months since , the mem-2 > ers deemed it expedient to erase his name from their looks . '' He asks , pithily , if this be a sample from which to judge of the sack ? Chabxes Willdkr . — We received Mary Booker ' s letter , but did not tliink it necessary to publish it
as the subject had been previously adverted to in the Star . Wh . Sksiob , —The matter is not worth notice . Oletsac Semaj . — fie have no room . He > ry Edwards . — The enigma has been answered . W . J . Osbob . se . — We have no room . A ? Irish Chartist . — We shall preserve the document relative to the spy ; but we do not see what use can be made of it , particularly at it is not attested . Richard Wadhams . — We have no room .

A Middle-clas 3 Chartist . — We fear the list tcould J ill thtSia . Tr and lire his patience . A . J ) obbie . —The enigma has been answered . W . B . S . — We cannot read his letter .
JoHJf Hall seems much displeased that the £ 1 0 s . 5 d . sent for the Victim Fund , and duly acknowledged in the Star , was not aUo specifically acknowledged in the Committee ' s Balance-sheet . A little reflection wilt show him that this would im-. pose an immense amount of unnecessary trouble . Monies are sent here ; we acknowledge the separate sums ; and hand them over to the Committee—not every week ; but , as required , in tolerably round sums : and hence , in their balance-sheets , the sums appear as they receive them from us . To insert the separate items again would be filling the paper to no purpose . John WbathaM . —The enigma has been answered . J . could not suppose we should insert his
communication without knowing who he may be . John Riding . — The Chartist Song will not suit our columns . Martha Fossltn , a member of the City Charter Association , appeals most emphatically to the women of the tyuendom to come forward on behalf of the Charier . A Yovng PoEr . —His '" Verses on reading ^ Robert Ptddie ' s last letter in the Northern Star" do ' much more credit to his heart than to his muse . W . A . Thompson must take a similar answer in reference to his "Sonnet on tne death of a Lady . " A Constant Reader . — We have printed the speech of Cromwell before . A Well Wisher to Libebty . — We have not
room . Svbsc&i ber . — Yes . A Lawyer ' s Fag . — We have riot room . George A . — We have not room . A Middle-class Charhst asks whether we " think , if it ice- e notorious that the Chartists really had the power to sJop the Ba ? ik if they pleased , such notoriety would be likeiy to be of any service to them in their efforts to obtain their Charter ?" We certain ly think thai such notoriety would be likely to be of service : will he show us the " " How r M . R- M . ARK . HAM , of Leicester , requests Mr .

Johs Biggs . — We have no room . " Thoughts oh the Grave "' declined . Bristol . —The Address of the Bristol Chartists to Mr . O'Connor must stand over for lack of space . An Edinburgh middle-class Chartist writes us that he has , on former occasions , supported the Whigs but is sick of them , and will suffer his right hand to be cut off rather than support them again .

Mr . Andrew Gardiner , sub-Secretary of the Leeds National Charier Association , meeting in Fish Market , tcould be glad to know the address of any Chartists residing in Nevory , or any other pott town in Ireland , who may be desirous of receiving the Norther Star . John Gordon . — We cannot insert his communication in its present form : it is vague , and would defeat its own purpose by failing to name or describe theperson . If it did name or describe him it wouid be libellous , and liable to prosecution . Isaac Njcholls . —His lines will not suit as . W . H . Cotton writes thus . —London , Manchester , GlasgowLeicesterand other places , can have
, , their cheap Chartist publications , and why , in the name of common sense , cannot the people of Birmingham and the three counties have theirs 1 Has the glorious spirit that was once the predominant feature of the brave sons of the above counties gone quite dead , or is it only sleeping t If sleeping—arouse yourselves , and endeavour to prove to the world that you know your rights , and , " knowing , dare maintain them . " No doubt it will be said , in the present unsettled state of trade we shall not succeed ; I say we must and shall succeed , if you will but have the will to set about the work with the spirit of people determined to be free . With a cheap publication , we shall be enabled to dispel the
dark mists of ignorance which prevail , to a great extent , i » the great nailing and colliery districts , and show to the minds of all parties what are the principles of the glorious Charter , and what are the duties of men , and what will be the result of succeeding in the sacred work we have so nobly begun . But how is it to be done 1 How 1 Why , here it is in a feio words : £ 50 will be sufficient to start it and keep it upon its legs for some time , when the profits will enable us to still continue at the glorious work of enlightening our fellow creatures . How must we get the i- 'SO ? Why , by having 200 shares at 5 s . each share . And cannot we find 200 Chartists in the three large counties above mentioned ? for instance , Birmingham 80 shares , Stourbridge 20 , Coventry 20 , Worcester 20 , Bromsgrove 10 , Redditch 10 , Wolverhampton 10 , Staffordshire Potteries and other places 30 , making up the required number ,
which , to be paid by instalments , would injure no one ? Mr . Julian Harnet has reached Manchester , and intends visiting the surrounding towns and villages . All letters for Mr . Harney are requested to be addressed to the care of the Secretary to the Executive Council , Air . John Campbell , No . 18 , Shaw ' s Brow , Sa l ford . Can Henry Edwards , of Bradford , refer i ;» to any respectable "known" Chartist who will substantiate the story he has sent us about the little boy and the "dirty waste ? " This is certainly much too gross a case to pass ; but as we do not know Henry Edwards , we must have it confirmed before we can comment upon it . We never attack individuals without knowing that we have facts to go upon . Edinburgh Chartists . —Their address to Feargus O'Connor next week .

FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Wednesday Evening , May 12 .
ivotning can exceed tne political and polemical excitement whieh at this moment exists here . All our halls , little and great—all our private meeting placesin fact , every place calculated to hold an assembly is engaged ; and there is not one hour in the six days , aye , and in many instances , on Sundays , that there is not a public meeting held by the political partisans or polemical graspers . But not a single selitary meeting is held hj those parties to elevate the condition of the working classes . The West India planters are holding dally meetings to guard against their ill-gotten wealth , which has been accumulated by the sweat of the slaves ' brow . Tbe men in power , her Majesty ' s Ministers , are holding humbug ticket meetingB for the repeal of the Cora La w s , and in favour of the voluntary principle ; both of which are to be their hobbies at the next election . The bloated bishops , tbe pampered parsons , and all tbe
other black slugs , are holding meetings for the extension of the revenues of the church , as by law established , as they say if they are touched the holy structure of Christianity will fall to the ground . At the late meeting , held at W illis ' s Rooms , for the extension of colonial bishoprics , the benches groaned under the weight of the noli episcopari gentry , or , as they call themselves , the " unwilling bishops . " But mark the difference ; at the meetings for the Sailor ' s Home , for the Mendicity , for the Shipwrecked Mariners , for Distressed Percales , and numberless other charitable obj e c t s , lately held in the Metropolis , net a single bishop or dignitary , and scarcely one clergyman , appeared . As a ) straw shows how the current runs , so this desertion of their flock , by their pastors , clearly indicates that the latter will be exposed to the rapacity of tbe wolves , unless the flock protect themselves ; this , with the blessing of God , they will do , as the conduct of the plundered , deserted , insulted , starving , yet patient , industrious working classes proves .
Amidst all this political and polemical excitement and turmoil , tbe People ' s Parliament are quietly , peaceably , and determinedly discharging their solemn duty . Their conduct is winning for them praise , even from their enemies , and is commanding attention from all quarters . Their labours are incessant They are occupied from an early hour in the morning , to a late hour at night , in their different offices , while the only rivalship that exists amongst them , Is therivalshi p of serving the good cause ,- and unanimity marks all their procedings . Kot content with canvassing members , sitting on committees during ths day , and attending the Convention from five till seven in the evening ; they are at night engaged in addressing public meetings .
On Monday night , a public meeting was held on Clerkenwell Green , Mr . Spurr in the chair , for the purpose of considering tho awful position of the country , and the best means of remedying it . Messrs . Wall , Martin , Skevington , and Barmby , attended that meeting , delivered speeches , and moved resolutions in behalf of the tax-ridden , enslaved , and insulted people of England , and ultimately proved that " ho who allows oppression , shares the crime . " After the meeting . Inspector Penny was busy in arresting a parcel of drunken fellows , who were no doubt introduced for the purpose of givin ? that blue bottle gent an opportunity of boasting that he captured a number of Chartists . Inspector Penny ' s plan will , in the long run , prove not worth a farthing . On Monday
night another meeting was held at Mr . Foxe's , Frogmore , Wandsworth . Mr . Howett in the chair ; Messrs . Williams and Rose addressed the meeting at great length , on the Charter , the treatment of the prisoners , and the delicate state of the health of Brouteire O'Brien . The meeting pledged itself to memorialise for Mr . O'Brien's release . A policeman in disguise was detected in the meeting , but suffered nothing beyond that of hearing a few unpalatable truths . The meetwas crowded to excess . On Tuesday night a public meeting was held at the Social Hall , Tower Hamlets , Whitechapel , which was attended by Messrs . Ruffy Kidley , Smart , and Skevington . Three resolutions were passed , viz ., for supporting the National Petition , seek ' n'the return of Frost , Williams , and Jones , and
p led ging the meeting never to relax their exertions until the Charter be made the law of the land . The three delegates addressed t he meeting , and were listenened to with the most profound attention by the assembled multitude , who sympathized most sincerely with the imprisoned Chartists . On Tuesday night , another meeting was held at tbe Horns , Crucifix-lane , Mr . Matthias in the chair . Messrs . Morgan Williams , Cullum , and Rose attended the meeting , and were most loudly choered duringtheir addresses . Mr . Brown also delivered an address . Resol ut io n s w er e adop ted pledging the meeting to present a m e m orial fo r . Mr . O'Brien ' s r olease , te support the National Petition , and to do every thing to forward the cause of the people . —On tho same evening , a third
meeting was held in the causo of humanity , at the Anchor Room , Bath-place , New Road , Mr . Fassel in the chair . The meeting was crowded by the inhabitants of St . Pancras , and was addressed most eloquently , powerfully , and effectively by Mr . Marly , Mr . Balls , Dr . M Douall , Mr . Morgan , Mr . Martin , and Mr . Bamiby . This is a tolerable specimen of the untiring determination of the delegates to work in season and out of season in the great , the grand , the virtuous , and patriotic cause . The few true men who are now reprtstnting the people in Loudon , have pledged themselves never to cease their labours until they work out the redemption of * the working classes—until they secure the full exercise of their just and fair rights and privileges , and until they are enabled to stand in the
noble position of free-born Englishmen . The Conventio n sc r up u lo u sl y avoid all angry collision with any party , ami without making one enemy , are creating in all quarters hosts of friends . The people are cheerful in responding to the call of the Convention , and are proving that their ( the people ' s ) power is next in strength to that Almighty Being , alone , who in the Majesty of his greatness , called that power into existence . Let tbe enemies and sot disant friends of the Chartists say what they will , the Nottingham election has taught " the powers that be" an awfully moral lesaon that reaches the heart and the soul as well as tbe understanding of aristocrats , autocrats , and tyrants . Chartism is the most awful hanci-grena < te that has ever yet been thrown into the allied enemy's camp : and all dread its explosion .
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERM STAR . Sir , —If you wi . l be so kind as to publish the following in your next , you will oblige your constant reader , J . Greaves . In perusing your paper of the 8 th ult , I was not at all surprised to see a small paragraph , purporting to have been sent from Oldham , b y the C ou n cil , announcing to the public that my uanie had been erased from the plan of Chartist lecturers j I can assure the public , through the medium of their own paper , that it is quite true that I moved a resolution , at a meeting hold in my own native parish , Saildlewerth , in favour of Lord Morpeth ' s Bill for Ireland ; and in order that tbe public may be pub in possession of facts , I hereby subj » in the resolution , which I am proud to say I had the honour to move at the meeting in question : —
Resolved 1 st " That the people ef Ireland have an inalienable right to the same privileges as those which are enjoyed by other portions of the community ; and though it is admitted the number of electors are much fewer , in proportion to the whole population , there than in any other division of the united kingdom , yet we are astonished to perceive that an attempt is being made still farther te diminish them , by throwing vexatious obstacles and impediments in the way of exercising the elective franchise . " The foregoing is the resolution which I moved at
the Saddleworth meeting . I still think I did right in doing so ; and if ever the time should come , when I should again have the opportunity of assisting to obtain the legislative lights of our sister country , as well as those of mjfowu countrymen , 1 shall always ( health permitting ) be ready to assist in furthering the great and glorious cause of reform , whether it be for Ireland , for England , or any other part of the British dominions . I am favourable to Lord Morpeth's £ 5 fra n chise , { which was contemplated iii his first Bill , ) so far as it goes ; but because I take 15 s . in the pound from tbe person who owes me 20 & , dees that imply
Untitled Article
that I am to discontinue my efforts to obtain the whole twenty shillings ? By no means ; I am as much a Chartist as ever , and perhaps mor < j sincere in the advocacy of the peoples cause than a great many of those noisy , bouncing , new-fashioned , mushroom polifciana , who are , by their conduct , doing all they possibly can to stamp with disgrace the cause which is already losing ground , by having creatures in the shape of men for its advocates , who are a nuisance to any society to which they belong . The paragraph to which I allude also says something about blt-by-bit reform , and my assisting the middle
class on certain occasions . All I have to say in reference to this part of the subject is , that I have never assisted in anything but the obtaining of Lord Morpeth ' s Bill for Ireland , with a £ 5 franchise , and an entire repeal of the wicked corn and provision laws of this country ; and if it be a political sin in this our day—in the nineteenth century , to be the advocate of equal laws and real justice for Ireland , and endeavour to obtain for the people cheap bread and cheap food , I am perfectly willing to resign myself to the fate that awaits me . I have done nothing bnt what has been done by men who were far my superiors—who were an honour to the country which gave them birth .
Let those creatures who are the greatest onemies to all reform—who are constantly going about seeking whom they may devour , because certain persons differ with them upon subjects so important as the repeal of the Com Laws , read the very valuable writings of a Cartwright , a Cobbett , and a Hunt ; all of whom spent their lives , and some of them large fortunes , in endeavouring to shew to tho people of this and other countries that we were cursed to the very earth by high raits , high taxes , and high usury laws . Let the people of this country look at the glaring fact
that the aristocracy , in the years 1815 and 1816 , passed a Corn Law , which has Becnred t » them , being about 30 , 000 in number , a sum of no less than from twentyfive to thirty millions per annum . Ought not every man , woman , and child to call long and loudly foT the entire repeal of a law at once opposed to the Holy Scriptures , to the laws of nature , of reason , and of justice ? They also got a Bill passed , exempting themselves from the further payment of the property tax . which , in tbe last year of its existence , raised to the revenue £ 15 227 , 5 00 , thereby entailing misery and destitution en the great mass of the people .
Why should the people who were once united under the banners of Universal Suffrage and no Corn Laws , in the memorable days of Mr . Hunt , be now divided and split into factions oppositions , upon a question , or questions , which to them are of the greatest importance ? I was always led to believe that Universal Suffrage meant Universal Liberty of conscience , of mind , and of body ; but it now appears that that which Mr . Hunt thought was right in 1816 , 16 , 17 , 18 , and 19 , those who call themselves Reformers in 1841 , think wrong . Man , the noblest work of God , is no longer at liberty to think , or speak , or act ; but in eonclusion , I will take the liberty of making known to the world my determination to retain my opinions upon all questions , whether political or theological . I beg leave to subscribe myself , A Chartist Corn Law Repealer , James Greaves , Soddlewotth . Austerlands , Saddleworth , May 10 th , 1841 .
N . B . In the Star , of last Saturday , I saw another small paragraph , also from Oldham , in reference to a Corn Law meetiDg , which took place a short time ago , at Waterhead Mill . I beg that you will just be so kind as to remove a very bad impression which it has made . The manner in which that article is penned , evinoes the very worst of feelings on the part of the man who wrote it One Lees , the writer says , took the chair , —a factory master . Quite true ; but who is this one Lees ? Why , Sir , it was Mr . John Lees , a very respectable , kind , humane , benevolent , and charitable cotton master of Waterhead Mill—a man who is universally respected and esteemed by all who know him . In a word , there is not a person who known him , who will not at once manfully proclaim , that a better man and master does not live in our neighbourhood . I ask you , Mr . Editor , is it fair ? is it at all consistent with the feelings of a Christian and a man , that a man like Mr . Lees , who is so esteemed and beloved ,
not only by his own work-people , bnt by all who know him , should be treated with contumely by men who know nothing of him , and who are perfect strangers in the country ? I was present at the meeting at which Mr . Lees was chairman , and—mark well what I say-Mr . Lees obtained for every speaker , whether in favour of or against a repeal , a fair and impartial hearing . He put it fairly to the meeting , for and against , anil very truly decided that the motion for a repeal was carried by a large majority . A person in the body of the meeting called out for a vote of censure upon the Chairman , but the moment it was heard by the meeting , a vote of thanks was proposed , and carried by the acclamation of a very great majority of the meeting . I can vouch for the truth of what is here stated , and you may depend npon it that What appeared in the Slar of last Saturday , on this subject , is an untruth from beginning to end . I remain , yours , James Greaves .

TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN STAB . Sir , —By order of the Committee for conducting the visit of the Rev . Joseph Rayner Stephens to these districts , on Sunday next , 16 tb of May , I am requested to send to you for insertion in your truly valuable and widely circulated journal , the following short addrtss to the inhabitants of the Staffordshire Potteries . Your insertion will confer an obligation on the Committee , in w hos e b e half I am , dear Sir , Very faithfully yours , John Richards , Secretory .
TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE STAFFORD
SHlim : POTTERIES . Fellow Slaves , —Every day brings fresh proof that you have no real friends amongst the so-called middle classes ; for if we are to judge of them by their cond u c t , we can come to no other conclusion . Refused as we have been every place for Mr . Stephens to preach in , we are compelled to submit to necessity , and take the only spot of ground we can avail ourselves of , depending on the voluntary contributions of those who alone can appreciate the objects of Mr . Stephens's visit to these parts .
Countrymen , our objects are benevolence and utility ; the first being for the benefit of that truly patriotic friend of the sons of toil , Mr . R . Oastler , who is now confined in the Fleet Prison for debt , and who is confined there for his advocacy of the rights of labour ; for if he had advocated tbe side of wealth , he would have found numerous friends amongst the rich and the great , who would have soon released him from durance vile , and have placed that man in affluence . Com ? , then , and show by your liberality that you , the sons of toil , can duly appreciate his worth . Our second object is to raise money for the erection of a WorkiDg Man ' s Hall , where we can hold our meeti n gs , free from the petty obstructions now thrown in our way , by those whose whole wealth is the produce of our labour . We urge on you the necessity of tbe case and the sacredness of the cause ; nor will we doubt tho liberality of our townsmen .
A tea party will be held m the Saracen ' s Head Assembly Room , on Monday , 17 th of May , at five oclock ; and after tea a public meeting . Our objects are well knoiro , nor will the considerate and patriotic ever refuse their support By order of Committee , John Rtchards , Secretary . N . B . —It is most earnestly requested that all persons who may be employed in any way in money matters will not fail to make up their accounts on VI on Jay night , 17 th instant , in order that a balance sheet may bo made out and submitted to the public . THE PROVISIONAL EXECUTIVE TO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND , SCO T LAND , AND WALES .
Never was there a period more urgent in tbe annals of our country that we should perform our duty than the present demands of us to do . If we but exert ourselves as men loving liberty , there is every prospect of our obtaining the release of all political prisoners , and the Executive feel satisfied no government can long resist the just and reasonable demands of the people , if the people , by their virtuous and united efforts , wish to do justice to themselves . One hundred M . P . ' s have promised to support Mr . Duncombe ' s motion , ef which he has given notice , for the 25 th inst , its purport being for the release of all political prisoners .
Fellow Countrymen , now is the time for the people to decide whether the Convention shall continue its sittings another fortnight or not The Executive are of opinion that immediate and active steps ought to be taken to raise funds to maintain their representatives in London for two more weeks , when the Convention shall have performed its mission , and then the members of that shall return to their respective constituencies to give an account of their stewardship . Fellow Democrats , if we love liberty , if we really feel for those victims , and their families , who have so nobly and fearlessly advocated the principles of truth
and humanity , we will support the Convention . Let us never forget the banishment of tbe patriotic Frost and his fellow sufferers . Let us remember the torture endured , mentally and bodily , by the good men Who are now immured in cold , damp dungeons ; and , above oil , let us bear in mind , if we perform our duty as we ought , the priticipks of our sacred Charter shall again be brought permanently before the country ; hoping , therefore , that each and all of us will do our utmost towards raising funds for the completion of so holy and sacred an object , We remain , Brother Democrats ,
Your sincere Fiienda in the cause of Chartism , James Leech , President Richard Littler . James Cartlicoe . John Campbell , Secretary Executive Rooms , Manchester , May 12 th , 184 L

MORE " RATS : * . ESCAPING FROM THE TKA . P . TO THE EDITOR OF . THE NOBTHERN STAK . Sir , —I hope my retraction from the traitor O'Connellls address will not be received the worse for being late . I should have done so before , had I not thought that my name was of . little con sequence on either side ; but I now fully perceive that it is necessary for every Chiutist honestly to avow his principles , however nhittflucntial he may be ; I would not have touched the Addrew with my hands , if I bid thought for a moment that it was in any way connected with such murdjBwa tiuwais , foi I cannot associate their past conduct with any
designation of a milder natnre . If they , as a party in the House of Commons , had stood by the people , we should have had neither transportations nor death in our ranks In conclusion , I beg that my name may be erased from the traitorous document , and to inform the O'Connellite that I would rather suffer death than give up one atom of the Charter , or to go one step out of the direct road to gain it . Ism , In the cause of freedom , : An unflinching Republican , CHARLES REYNOLDS .
23 , Leskennick Terrace , Penzance , May 4 th , 1841 . TO MESSRS . LOVETT , COLLINS , AND CO . Gentlemen , —la perusing your infamous document , there was nothing in it that I could supi ort , except that part connected with abstinence . To it , and it alone , I allowed you to put my name ; bat yon had the effrontery to attach it to your rigmarole of House hold Suffrage , &c Ace . ; and , seeing that Daniel ami his tail are giving you their support , yon may depend upon it you will be sold like the factory children . It , and other public acts , makes him detested by all true Chartists . ~
Now , Mr . Editor , you wiU see from this that I detest their damnable document , as calculated to divide and destroy Chartism , which is out of the power either of men or devil to do . By inserting this document , you will much oblige Your humble Servant , JOHN M'CLINTOCIL . Irvine , 26 th . April , 1841 . We have also a letter from Messrs . Adams and J . C Binna , withdrawing themselves from tho " new move * gentry , and giving vent to their execrations of the trap in which they have been taken , in terms somewhat too warm for us to publish .
