In the Columns of the fcationai Vindicator , &c ., will be found information calculated to promote the spread of Chartist principles , and create aa enlightened public opinion in favour of the glorious principles of Democracy * " Knowledge is Power , " —It will be the constant endeavours of the Editors of this Publication to diffuse knowledge of the right description ; to expose abuses wherever they may exist ; to contrast modern governments with first principles ; to point out the causes of commercial depression , general poverty , and mental and moral degradation ; and to show the means by which the People may acquire political power , and the purposes to which that power shall be directed . The pages of the National Vindicator will offer additional opportunity for the development of the hitherto despised intelligence of the people . Correspondence upon all matters pertaining to the political and social condition of the masses , will bo thankfully accepted , and receive due appreciation . An inquiry is being instituted whether the National Vindicator may not , legally , as one of the recognised organs of the Chartist body , give reports of all proceedings in connection with the Chartist cause . Should the investigation terminate favourably , it will add to the utility and importance of this publication . The National Vindicator will be found aa excellent advertising medium . Chartists , of all parts , will be affordel an opportunity of announcing at a small outlay , their public meetings , festivals , &o . The National Vindicator will be half the size of the Northern Star , closely , printed en good paper ; and as an extensive circulation will be absolutely necessary , at the low price of this work , to defray the heavy expenses of publication , it is hoped that the Chartists generally will bestow upon it the full amount of support to which its worth may render it entitled .

HUOTAN LIFE . TDROBABLY no theory can como more welcome A to tho human mind than the one which establishes , on good grounds , a hope for prolonged existence ; for , notwithstanding the trials , vexations , and difficulties incident to this life , the love of life increases with our years ; it is one of the innate princi p les of our nature , and cannot be explained away by any of the subtleties of the sophist , nor overcoma by any amused dignity derived from a false philosophy . There are many of these inextinguishable principles in our nature—our love of freedomlove of country—love of home , and many others , but the loro of life predominates . At present , the popular opinion is , that the natural duration of human life is seventy yeare , but this is contrary to both sacred and profane history . This opinion is , no doubt , founded on a misunderstanding o < a passage of the 90 th Psalm , where it is indeed stated , " That the days our years are three score years and ten , and if by reason of strength they be four score years , yet is their strength labour and sorrow . " Now , it must bo remembered , that this Psalm is ascribed to Moses , and that he is not speaking of the lives of men in general , but of what was occurring among the Israelites in the wilderness . His own life , as well as the lives of tho more eminent of his brethren , waa far moro extended than even four score years ; and , as he complains of the people being cut off , throufih the displeasure of God , it is reasonable to conclude , that he is not alluding to tho period during which men were capable of living , but simply to the fact , that , owing to the judgments of the Almighty , which betel the Israelites on account of their sins , but few of them attained a morelengthened existence than that ; of seventy-or eighty years . " for we are coiisuined , " he says , * by thine auger , and by thy wrath are we troubled . " Tney died not a natural death , but were cut off for their Bin and unbelief , by judicial dispensations . The clever Dr . Farro maintain ? , that 120 is the last grant ot God to man , and quotes tho sixth chapter of Genesis , and tlie third verse , where it is written , " My spirit shall not always strive with man , for that ho ateo is fle 3 h ; yet . his-days shall bean HUNDRED AND TWENTY YEARS . " NiiW , W 6 find this expressed intention on the part of God gradually carried into effect—the principle of vitality appearing to become weaker until tho cIojo of the era in . which the postdiluvian patriarchs flourished ; when , although several centuries had elapsed since the delude , we find that 120 years was about the average of human existence . Supposing , then , that the theory of long life is well sustained , the question naturally suggests how are we to attain what is so desirable I A wise general , on the eve of battle , makes a proper disposition of bis forces beforehand , and does not wait till the enemy has made an attack , and thus , by forethought and due preparation , reasonably expects a victory ;—thus , he who has a desire tu attain a healthy , " and consequently , happy old age , dues not indolently wait for the attack of . the enemy , which is sickness , but is constantly on his guard against his insidious approaches , by paying proper attention to the state of his health . Many would faiu occasionally use medicine to assist nature in her operations ; but like a mariner at sea without his compass , knowing not where to steer , they first try this , and then that , and meet with nothing but disappointment ; to these , how welcome must be the important fact , that Parr ' s Medicine is all that is-required ; the nae tonic properties it contains invariably restore the stomach to a healthy longing for foody or , iu other wdrds , it produces a . good appetite , to much envied , but so seldom ' enjoyed , by the . invalid ; the gently ' stimulating power it possesses , assists the stomach to properly digest the food it receives ; the balsamic powers it bestows on the system , produce that delightful feeling of good spirits , so Very desirable , and dispose both mind and body to healthy exercise ; everything under its influence soon Wears a joyous aspect , and the varied duties of life are performed with pleasure . It in addition contains a fine sedative quality , and instead of long and weary uights , gives suund and ; refreshing ' sleep : If the stomach and bowela requiro it , it acrs aa the mildest and most agreeable purgative , and by its cleansh > # powers totally eradicates a redundancy of bilu , and completely removes all obstructiuas ot the intestinal canal . *

As this Disease is one which is likely to be contracted whenever exposure takes place , it is not like many other visitors , onco in life , but , on the contrary , one infection may scarcely have beea removed , w& « Q another may unfortunately be imbibed ; therefore , the practitioner requires real judgment ia order w treat each particular case in such a manner as not merely to remove the present attack , but to preserve the constitution unimpaired , in case of a repetition at no-distant period . The man of e xperience can ayail himself of the greatest improvements m modern practice , by beingable to distinguish between discharges of a specific and of a simple or miw nature , which can only be made by one in « hj practice , after due consideration of all circumstances .

Cases of every description have been cured simply by the use of Pakr's Life Pilis , thus showing , that what have been considered different disorders , and requiring different treatment ; all originated in the same Oanse , and « an be cured by one uniform treatment . Parr ' s Life Pills , although powerful in conquering disease " , yet are as pure and harmless as new milk , and may be administered with confidence to an invalid , however weakly from long ill-health , who will soon enjoy those delightful symptoms of a return to strong health ; viz ., 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 80 effectual in eearching out and curing disease of however long standing , exhibits on the part of Old Parr deep research and a thorough knowledge of his subject . Those who have been the instruments of restoring this long-lost secret to the world , feel confident when they make this assertion—that none need despair , that if only a fair trial be given , the result will be restoration to health and happiness . " . " Thus shall their humble labours merit praise , And future Parrs be blest with honoor'd days . " This medicine is sold wholesale , by appointment , by Edwabds , St .

PUBLIC MEETING AT MACCLESFIELD ON THE CORN LAWS . ( Abridged from the MacdeffiOd Courier . ) In consequence of a requisition , presented to the Mayer , a meeting to * called for Wednesday last , in the Town Hall , for the purpose of passing a series of resolutions iii favonr of a repeal of tie Cora Laws . The Ma-sob , in opening the proceedings , merely expreraed a -wish that a fair bearing should be giTen brail . ilr Jesper moved the first resolution , to the effect that it -would be fer tbe interest of all classes that both the Com and Sagar duties should be repealed . Mr . David RowbothaM seconded the resolution .
Mr . Charles SaTaGK next presented himself to oppose the resolution , trot -was received -with so much ctemenr that he could not proceed ; and , in addition , be mads a mistake , on reading an extract , -which excited so much laughter that he -was compelled to give vaj , but sot before he had made a remark which called up Mr . Caniron , -who , in reply to it , observed , that he came there merely from curiosity , being neither for the Corn Lrvr nor against it . Mr WEST ( a -weaver ) commenced by observing that on both sides it -was agreed that the wcrking classes had a paramount interest in tbe question . The persons who opposed the Corn Laws said they opposed them because " tbe interests of the working classes -were at stake ; and those "who supported those laws did it on
the same grounds . He had therefore a right to assume that it was a subject for the consideration of the ¦ working classes , and that they ought calmly to weigh it as one bearing upon their interest * . He . knew that it -was contended that the manufacturing interest is the only interest to be considered in England . It was right , therefore , to put the question on fair grounds . He considered that it was a maxim , that it is the duty of every government in the first place to provide food and clothing for the people ; in the second place , to keep sufficient employment for labour in ^ be wuntry , that both food and clothing may be properly distributed among the people ; and in the third place , to afford to that labour , by means of -which the distribution is made , the greatest protection possible . Let
them see then whether Government had acted on these principles . He should proceed first to consider the two great interests of the country . They were told a great deal of the agricultural and manufacturing interests by those who were now traversing the country , in order to get up an agitation in favour of the present Government . The people of England are composed of agricultural labourers and manufacturing labourers ; and he contended that the interests of the one class were as much entitled to the protection of the legislature and the government as tb , e other . He contended that it would be great partiality and gross injustice , that the manufacturing la ' feonrer should be enriched at the expence of the agricultural labourer —particularly as he could prove that the latter class
formed the majority of the population . This-statement he did not make without authority . He was anxious to show that he did not speak only on his own authority , lest he should fall under the castigation of some of those talenttd gentlemen cf the present day , who answer those that differ fr « nrthem by telling them that they are * ' peddling politicians ; " —( laughter ;—and he would require that those gentlemen , who professed not to be peddling politicians , thould bring authorities for what they asserted , acd not merely state their own opinions . From authentic documents it was found , that the relative merits of the two interests stx « i thus : —The total value of the land was £ 850 , 655 , 658 ; the total amount of fanner ' s capital , £ 654 ? 83 S , 760 ; the annual produce of the land ,
£ 519 , 035-281 . Ha found that there was a " power employed vz it of at least three-fifths of the whole population , or 5 , 500 , 000 effective men . On the other hand , he found that the capital employed in manufacture , was only £ 205 , 773 , 872 , and that its annual produce was £ 259 , 412 , 709—a veiy great difference , [ We cannot vouch fjr the accuracy of cur figures . ] Thus , when they came to put things in their proper places , ttey found that interest , which was setting itself up as the great and proper interest of the country , fell very short of one-third of the capital employed en agriculture ; and above three individuals were employed in agriculture to one that was employed in manufactures ; for they must remember ttat among the parties engaged in agriculture , they
must reckon great part of the population of Ireland ; and it was calculated that 686 in every thousand " were employed in raising food in Ireland . They might wish perhaps to throw Ireland ont of the question ; but until the ITnion should be repealed—( cries of " Question , question ";—until Irelan-4 should have a separate Parlhunent iCries of " Qaestion , " continued . ) Why did they call question ? Their crying question now was & proof that they did not understand anything whatever of the question—until there was a distinct Parliament in Ireland , that country must be taken into their consideration . He would show them that , if this measure were carried into effect , it would throw thousands npon thousands of the population out of employment . It was tts duty of the Government to keep the popula
toon , both agricultural ana manufacturing , employed , but not to threw land oat of cultivation for the sake of exporting a little more manufactures . The whole of our exports of manufactures only amounted to one-seveath of the consumption at home ; and it was , therefore , of much more importance to enlarge the home than the foreign demand—particularly as he was prepared to show that this country was not under tiie necessity of depending upon foreigners for its food . In aider to show that he made no statement as to the capability of the country to produce enough of food for its population , he would reftr to authorities ; he would do so , that , if his pjliucs should be called peddling , by certain talented gentlemen , they might know they were not his alone . ( Hear , hear . ) That-the
country uoe 3 not produce enough food , was no answer to his argument . The question was , can it do ? It was no proof that he < Mr . J . West ) cosid not wear a better coat , to say that he dil not wear a better one . Now he would refer to an authority wbic ' a these gentlemen would not dispute—to Mr . G . K . Porter , who had pTea an account of the cultivated land in the coxu . trj , acd of the uncultivated and caitiTa ^ ble . [ Mr . West then entered i :-to some details on this subject ] If it wa 3 said then , that they had not com enaugh , why did they E ^ t set about cultivating tbis uncultivated land ? He kn = w the cause and he wdl knew the remedy . He knew tbat the caiise was , that the people were not fairiy represented in Parliaraeat r and he knew that the remedy would v « ry soon follow , if they were .

But they might say , even if this land were put into 1 cultivation , it would not produce enough for our in- \ creasing population .

which he shewed that above three time » as much wheat could be purchased at the higher price as at the lower . Could the Corn Laws be the ciuse of this T He wUhed for a fair answer to the qaestion . They might , perhaps , be told that the Corn Laws were the cause ; but he would refer them to authorities , which shewed that the reduction of wsges had been going on before tLe Corn Laws . He found from a table of tbe prices of weaving , from 1802 to 1812 , laid before * Committee of the House of Commons , that a reduction in some branches of 150 per cent had taken place before the Corn Laws . These facts shewed that they must look to some other cause than the Corn Laws to account for the reduction of wages . In corroboration of this argu ment , he shewed that tbe actual quantity of wheat
imported daring the ten years preceding the enactment of the Corn Laws , was 5 , 246 , 169 quarters , while in the ten years after that enactment it had been 7 , 609 , 875 quarters , thus shewing an increase of 2 , 363 , 000 qra ., notwithstandifig the Corn Laws . He found also & remarkable difference in the price . In the period before the Corn Laws the price had averaged £ * 18 s . 8 d . a quarter , whilst in the following ten years it had been £ 3 16 s . Id . a quarter . He should wish them to take these facts into consideration before they came to tbe conclusion that the repeal of the Corn Laws would not tend ta the diminution of wagea He then proceeded to quote Mr . Porter ' s tables of tbe price * of corn from 1760 to 1835 , shewing a reduction of the price of wheat after the enactment of the Corn Laws . But he would
nextge to another testimony to shew tbe actual inconsistency of the gentlemen , who wsre now advocating that system . They accused those who opposed them as peddling politicians ; yet they would force us to take their authority , or the authority of their masters , without question . As he looked upon those who talked of peddling politicians , to be themselves peddling politicians , he should go to their master * . Mr . M'Gregor said he believed that the rent of land would increase if the Corn Laws were repealed , in consequence of the greater demand for labour . Were they to believe Mr . M'Gregor when he told them that the price of corn would become less , and the rtnts
of land increase ? lLoud laughter . ) He never knew before that increasing rente would bring down the price of corn . ( Renewed laughter . ) But they told us again , that their object in repealing the Corn Laws woold be to cultivate good feelings with other countries ; yet he found in a document issued by the Corn Law League , and giving-an account of the evidence of the Mayor of Leicester , that the greatest advantage of the repeal of the Corn Law * would be its raising the price of feod abroad , and diminishing it at home . Was this tbe way to cultivate good feeling with other countries ? But did they really believe that the people of other countries were all fools and all asses ? At all
events , he w » uld not eat in the same manger with them . ( Laughter . ) He believed that the Governments of foreign countries WGuld not allow them to raise the price of corn abroad ; and if they did , he believed that the people of those countries would rise up against their Governments . It could lead to nothing but distress , murder , and revolution . He had thus given them authorities for the facts which he had alleged . Now , let them ask , what would be the consequences of a repeal of the Corn Laws ? Would they tell him that agricultural labourers would not be thrown out of employment ? Would they tell him that the IriBh would not be thrown out of employment ? Some person in the meeting said the Irish should eat their own corn . So Baid he . He wanted the people of Ireland to eat
their own corn , and the people of England to be clethed with their own cloth . Mr . West then made several othtr observations , the effect of which appeared to be , that it would be mueh better that both England and Ireland should labour to augment their internal prosperity , than to ruin the country by running after such bubbles of foreign trade as could not be obtained without the sacrifice of their domestic interests . He then proceeded to consider the case of the manufacturers . He saw the inhabitants of this town engaged is a manufacture that stood in a peculiar situation . It was their evident interest that no part of the population should be forced into a sacrifice of that by which they lived . They had had practical proofs tbat every attempt to take off protecting duties had been attended
with distress . This was a fact winch they knew , and would not be denied even by the gentleman who answered sueh argument * by talking of peddling politicians . He never made use of any statements for which he had not authorities and facts . Would those who were not peddling politicians bring facts instead of mere assertions and opinions ? What was the meaning of all the cry raised against protection . ' What was all legislation but protection ? What were " all laws but laws of protection for life and property ? If the system of protection is a system of robbery in the one case , it was a system of robbery iu the other . If this system of protection were carried to its full extent they would not then be whiniag about the exportation of machinery ; they would have no
necessity for saying , you must not do so and sj , or we cannot compete with foreigners . He did . not know what they meant by competing with foreigners but reducing the prices and wages . They had already reduced wages so low that they said they were afraid if they were reduced lower that tbe living machinery would produce no more—tbat the machines would wear out ; and , therefore , they said they must have corn made cheaper , that they might reduce wages without entirely wearing out the living machines . If t ^ ey did not say so in words , they said so ia facts . If they could not meet fortign competition without repealing the Cora Liws , how would that repeal enable them to do it ? How bat by reducing wages ? Let us bear how they answer this ? Taey give us plenty of
assertions ; but was there ever such nonsense ? We always want something more than assertions ; we have always been accustomed to consider those as truly peddling politicians , who deal in nothing but assertions ; bat what facts or authorities aid they bring forward in support of their s ^^ enioos ? None . Dr . Bowring asserts that if we repeal the Corn Laws , foreign countries will give up manufacturing and turn to agriculture ; that consequently an addltio&al prediction , and additional employment would be required in this country , and therefore the wages would not be diminished Tuis was their opinion ; bat they always lef i out of consideration the increase ot maehiDery . He knew , and'he meeting knew , tLat the increase of production wou . d have but little tffl-ct on wjaes . Tue productive
power that ¦ woala be employed would be mechanical and chemical improvements ; and if a double production were requir-. d , there would be more than a double increase of machinery . The working classes well knew by this time , that increased production does not mean increased employment for Labour—far less increased wages for labour . During tht last forty years there had beta an increase of production to the ext-. nt of 800 per cent . ; but whi . e production had increased 80 » p * r cent ., wag-. s ha i decreased in the rat-o of 360 . So much for the infallible maxim of increased production causing incrcas&i Wis h es . . Mr . West then proceeded to shew tkat f : om the earliest timaa trade hod been pretecte'l in En ; iana .

Touy were tbe real plns-. cu-s , who wished to effect a ladical cure . He had made an assertion the other night ,
which had galied Mr . Murray . He would Btate a fact to prove it . TLwsLk trade in the city of Dublin nnd bteu prosperous from 2800 to 1819 , when the protecting duty on Irish against English silks was removed . v ) n the removal of that protection , the number of looms had declined from 3 , 400 to 2 , 000 ; and when foreign aLks were l * t in , the number had speedily declined to 1 , 200 and bad since gone oa declining , through foreign competition , till , in 1838 , the number of looms employed was no more than 400 . Hr . West then proceeded to read the evidence of an Irish silk manufacturer , who had removed from Dublin to Spitalfields . Prom the evidence it appeared that the Chancellor of
.: xi . exchequer , bclore the protecting duty was removed , ia 1519 , had given it as his opinion ( you Bee , observed ths speaker , what it is to trust to opLoi-ns , ) that the manufacturers would employ ten times as many weavers alter the dnty was removed , because Irish popiins ¦ would then be allowed to come to Engl ^ ud without paving duty .

and were not worth so many pence . Thus , be had tiie authority of ft Dublin manufacturer to bear him out in what he cad said the night before . Even the advocates of free trade , admitted that some branches of the silk manufacture would be ruined by it- John Deacon Hume , in reply to a qaestion , said , he did cot conceive that it was a clear case that the silk trade would be annihilated ; but he did not doubt taat , in many cases , it might lead to relinquishing some particular branches of the silk trade . It did not require much less logic or tact to know what those particular branches to be relinquished were . They found , from Dr . Bowring , that France had peculiar ad vantages for the finer branches , in being able to rear the raw material ) in the superior brilliance of ita dyes , in the greater
excellencyof its patterns , and in beingable to produce cheaper . It was evident , therefore , that the figured branches were among those to be relinquished ; and waa tliete a branch of their trade now worth keeping but the figure trade ? Was there a branch in which they were more interested than that trade , which , if France were allowed to pour her silks into England , would be totally destroyed ? They knew well that such would be tbe case , and they knew well also , that so long as they paid heavy t * xes , they were entitled to protection . Mr . West next alluded to a resolntioD , moved by Montgomery Martin , that , so long as taxes were wrung from them , they were entitled to protection . A Lancashire manufacturer bad stated in his evideuce , tbat in plain silk goods they did not fear auy competition , because they did not pay
more for weaving them than in France . This was a pretty fair admission of tbe reason * for wbicb cheap bread was wanted , ia ord « t to meet foreign competition ; it was , that they might reduce them to the wages in France . Nobody could suppose that the Lancashire manufacturers wished { or a measure that would cause them to give high wages . The object of tbe Lancashire manufacturers was , by low wages , to increase production , and to make goods , like Jews ' razors , —to selL They told them that the ' Corn Laws had driven foreigners to manufacture ; bat they knew that foreigners were just as capable of mechanical invention as Englishmen . They found that the first power-loom was invented by a foreigner , that the first silk loom , the first woollen loom , tbe
first Jacquard loom had been made by foreigners ; they knew that the Huguenots were the first to introduce & variety of manufactures into this country , and among the rest the silk manufacture of Spitalflelds , that the linen trade in Ireland was introduced from Flanders . And seeing that foreigners bad formerly been so capable of inventing , were they to be told tbat they had since so far retrogaded that we alone are now capable of manufacturing ? Or did they suppose that nothing but our Corn Laws would ever have caused them again to exercise their ingenuity—particularly in the case of Germany which , Dr . Bowring , says , may boast of peculiar advantages for carrying on manufactures , —in cheapness of fuel , in the abundance of metals , and superiority in working them , in the superiority of the natives in design , &c- His evidence also stated that
the repeal of the Corn Laws wonld not prevent the Gennansfrom manufacturing . Mr . West next proceeded to examine the condition of the labourers in those countries where corn is cbeap , as deduced from tue evidence of Dr . Bowring and otherB . In one part it appeared that the wages were from 4 s . Cd . to 6 s . a week ; in another , the wages were from 2 s te 2 * . 4 d . a week ; the workman lived on potatoes , and stole timber from the woods for fuel , or else they would be starved . Yet the workmen of this country were to be compelled to compete with men in auch a condition , in order to gratify the avaricious disposition of tbe manufacturers . What they wanted was universal suffrage ; and they would not waste their energies on this crotchet of the Corn Laws . Mr . West concluded by proposing the following amendment : —
" That whilst this meetiDg deeply laments and sympathises with tbe distressed condition of the working classes of this country , yet we believe tbat the causes which have produced it were in existence before the enactment of the Corn Laws , and tbat therefore a repeal wonld not remove them ; but that the prolific source of the social aud political evils of ^ he people is c ' a ? s legislation , and that in tbe opinion of this meeting , the only way to remove tbe direful effects of Buch legislation is to give to every male adult of sane mind aud unstained by crime , the power of making the laws which be is compelled to obey . " Mr . James Lows seconded tho amendment
It was arranged that the amendment should first be put affirmatively and negatively , and then the original resolution in the same way . No decision waa given by the Mayor on the shew of hands for and against the amendment . After the resolution bad been put , the Mayor declared that it bad been negatived—an opinion from which we did not bear of one dissentient , the majority against the resolution being evidently very great . Mr . Tjhothy Falvey said the result was the consequence of a most unholy alliance . [ This was intended to convey an insinuation that the Conservatives had committed themselves to the Chartist doctrines contained in the amendment , which however was not tbe fact ] A vote of thanks to the Mayor , for his impartial conduct in the chair , having been passed unanimously , the meeting separated ; having lasted near five hours .
Some of the anti-Corn Law party , we were told , collared West on his leaving the platform , and oue of tl e parties accused of doing so was assailed ¦ with a tremendonsstnrm of hissing and groaning , which , however , led to no further disturbance .
