Thank Providence that all honest Lawyers and Doctors , and Clergy , are no longer my Persecutors , and tbe ' r own enemies , but , like other honest men , as their grateful letters to me , to publish their Cures , amply testify—are acknowledging the necessity of Universal Suffrage in Medicine , as in Politics , ca order to establish the Health of Mankind .

[ . BEDS UNEMPLOYED OPERATIVE ENUMERATION COMMITTEE . Oar anxiety to promote anj znderkakiBg that has a tendency to r na ! iinr % i ' the sufarings of the dgstitate , prompt as to oomply with , the request of » de pntaii « i irom ths above Conmittee , that we would pT 6 a statement of its objects , in order ttiti i ^ cliims to su pport may he more , widely circulated . ' A . glance oTer one of the enumeration books , and » statement of th « order of procedure , made by the de putation , esable u to say that the mode which tie Committee has adopted is admirably calculated to attain the end in new .
The Coanutte * is composed » i Delegates representing &e workmen employed at radons factories mi workshops in the borough , who contribute one penay each , weakly , to * Committee Fund , the secesaty of which will b * apparent from the folbwiag statement : — Twenty of the most intelligent operatives are , at present , engaged ia the sereral wards taking the ^ umeration , who reoeiTe two shillings each , or cpirards , per day . Two competent persons , otherwise unemployed , we engaged making an analysis of all the enumeration books which increases the
daily expenditure , which , when added to tbe expenses previously incurred , by printing circulars , numeration books , & * -, will show that the pennies of tbe weekly contributors are baing well applkd . We might here insert a few eases of appalling destitution which a brief inspection of an enumera tion book brought mnder our notice , were we not aware that we should thas be unnecessarily anticipating the committee ' s report ; we will oaly say that the enumerators , when they haTe finished their Beyeral wards , will hare laid bare such a mass of indigence and destitution , as but few indeed of
the inhabitaaisef Leeds ever dreamed of . We peroa . ro &z £ SbjlB 3 UM Cbawfokd and other members of Parliament , hare been pat in possession of statistical details of the average sums upon which human beings , in the several towns which they represent , are obliged to subsist . We are not aware ef &e auspices under which these details have been eoBeeted . It would be well , however , if the operatives of all places , where distress prevails , and where it does sot prsvail , would take this matter into their own hands j it is their own case . The operatives of Leed 3 are acting upon this principle ;
and good will undoubtedly result from its adoption . We have long and earnestly contended for this rode of procedure , Tit , the necessity of working Ben doing their own work . They cannot ponder orer the misery which they have brought to light without perceiving the caases from which it emanates . Let this be done generally , and we doubt mot the issue . The necessity of something being done is now becoming apparent , even to obtuse perceptions . Commiseration for the sufferings of tbe poor , and desire to alleviate those sufferings , are amiable feelings .
Tbe Enumeration Committee 13 av . ing upon a aoble as well as a generous principle . The propriety f supporting this ooamittee , we would respectfully enforce upon every employed operative in Leeds ; and to other towns , we say Go ye and do likewise . "

THE BIRMINGHAM DEMONSTRATION . We know not how to begin to write on this invigoratiBg subject ; and , with our present modicum of space before us , dare not do so . We shall , therefore , simply leave the following extract from the letter of an eye-witness , which our readers will see was written as a private note , to tell its own Btery : — BIRMINGHAM FOB ETEB , HTBRAH ! : ! « "It ma sot a Birmingham denjonstrv tioa only , —U wts a Midland Counties demonstration It deflee deecriptian , asd baffles all calculation as to Bomber * I shall give aome facia whereupon 70 a may

MORE WHIG TACTICS . The defcaci factioa seem resolved , even in their graves , to do something in the ^ vay of mischief .

Fellow Working Men , —Knowing , as I do , that political knowledge ia the only thing wanted among the people to arouse them to a sense of their degradation and slavery , I deem it a duty incumbent npon every lover of liberty to use every means in his power to regain for himself and bis fellow working mea those long withheld but just rights which we are now struggling for ; and if the people will carry out the principles which I am about to recommend , I believe it would be of incalculable benefit , in supporting the Chartist cause , and that without the sacrifice of one single penny to tbe public , as yeu will perceive in reading this letter .
You are aware that we have an Executive Council , elected to direct tbe national movement , but whose labours are , to a certain degree , crippled for want of better supplies , which may be considerably iucreased by carrying out the following plan , which I propose as follows : — I will supply all such as nay favour me with their orders with blacking of best quality , and at the lowest possible price ; and whilst it is good and cheap to the consumer , it shall leave a good remunerating profit to the agent And I further propose to transmit to the Executive Council of the National Charter Association , to assist in carrying out the objects for which the Association was formed , one halfpenny out of every shilling which I receive . The following regulations to be adhered to in the financial affairs : —
First , That every order must be accompanied with the money lor we can never conduct on * bueiaess witb propriety before the public ) , and that the agent , when he * ends me an order , must sent a copy of the order to the Executive Council , that they may know what is due to them every week

Second , That on Monday , in every week , I will transmit to the Star offica ail money due to the said Council , with a list of the names and addresses of the agents , as per underneath : — b . d . A . B . Hull 0 10 CD . Sheffield 1 8 E . F . Manchester ! ... . 2 it O . H . York ... " l s
And as a guarantee to agents for a sure delivery cf the goods due to them , I shall deposit a sufficient cum in the hands of Mr . Hill , the Editor of the Northern Star . For further particulars , as regarding what manner the blacking is to bo sent , whether liquid or pasta , and what is to be tbe discount , &c . &c , write to Roger Pindee , Weatherall Place , Car Lane , Hull .

TO MR . HENRY HETHERINGTON . Sir , —After having challenged me to a discussion relative to ths principles of Chartism , as advocated by Messrs . Lovett and Collins , and the principles of Chartism advocated by the National Charter Association , ycu have , I find , declined the acceptance of my proposal to meet you , although I have much inconvenienced myself by offering to extend the time to any day up to Friday inclusive . You say ( I understand ) that you would not be prepared before tho middle of October , as you
require to look over back numbers of tbe Northern 6 'lar . Yon forget that all the preparation necessary on meeting Mr . Watkins would be available in your discussion with me ; bnt you could not have forgotten that , from tho middle of October , for some months , I have an engagement for every day . In this state of the affair , I must beg to hand you over to the Executive , who will be in London on Monday , tbe 11 th , when , I am instructed to say , they will take the part which I had assigned to myself .
I must say , that your conduct has been most unfair and unjust ; but I have no reason to complain , if the p-.-. biic will tolerate such a trilling with so serious a subject . I am , Sir , Your obedient Servant , Feabgus O'Coknob .

BRONTERRE O'BRIEN . Fellow Countrymen , —Had not our exultation been chastened and modified by the very judicious letter of our persecuted friend , Mr . O'Brien , wo should have been led by our enthusiasm , at bis liberation , to mike it a matter of public rejoicing and congratulation . Like purer spirits vre can rejoice when even one is extricated from the jaws of onr enemies ; bnfc our advocate and champion is not one only , he is himself a phalanx . On the 24 th of this month , O'Brien will , if able , walk out of the dungeon in which he bas been eo long confined . It is not his intention to allow himself any long respite , but to proceed , as soon as convenkut , to carry on his attack upon the combined forces of capitalist and landlord .
All will see the necessity ani propriety of Mr O'Brien being so circumstanced that be can be at full liberty to adopt such steps as will be best to promote our common cause . In order that * nch may be the case , it will be necessary to forward all monies at present ia the bands of the several Treasurers , to the General Treasurer appointed by the Central Committee ; and we entreat you , fellow countrymen , not to let this suffice ; recollect , for a moment , that the man whom we are thas feebly assisting , is persecuted for the transcendent ability , and the indomitable spirit , with which he has pleaded for the rights of man . Recollict ! that he has sacrificed the honours of rank , and the comforts of competency , and submitted to the misery and hardship of want , that he might assert those principles which are founded in truth cud justice , and for which we hope that ail are disposed to make some sacrifice .
Now that Mr . O'Brien has outlived the torments of his imprisanment ; now that he is going to be restored to the bosom of his family , and the society of bis ? riends , let us make one general effort , testifying eur gratitude to Mr . O'Brien , and our abhorrence of his enemies . Let every association have its voluntary collection on its next meeting night As much depends trpon individual exertion , let erery member go with a resolution to moot the subject if none else does . Wiih such a resolution little exertion would be necessary , and , if simultaneously acted upon , great and good must be the result . Signed on behalf of the Committee , John Ogden , Secretory . Sept . 22 , 1641 .
