Jame . XeetihA fusBaa jacket ira » called to the chair , who , after a few rernaxt * . introduced , in a flattering manner , the above » snarp-httlng Leech" to addreeajtbe meeting , He commenced by analyaing the speech made by CeL
Thompson on Friday evening , asivering him -point by point , to the seeming concazreaoe of hit hearers , and in in edifying and instructing mairnpr . To give all hi * pomts would be impoarible , withoat taking up too mneh room , which wonld be an Injustice to the rert of o « correspondent * . Colonel Thompson « ald there vaa a principle of aelnshneai in man , "with , which he ( Mr . Leach ) perfectly agreed , and which , he contended , famished one of the most cogent reaaons why the power should be fTtOT" *<* 1 to every man who performed Baeful service to society , to protect himself against thfiin&asnoe ot capital , and the grasping , grinding , avarice and « c « r »> in « R « of hia fellow man . Selfishness was an
inherent principle of human nature . It was that which ¦ utre or less propelled the actions of all Hying beings . Bo £ again , there was another principle , Til . justice , and ¦ which should not be lost sight of—the power should fee placed in the majority to ' enforce it—to protect the labourer and his labour against the capitalist and bis eipifcal— to protect the weak against tie struts—to pot down that most atrocious aad unbearable system of tyranny and cruelty which was so prevatoat , and to ensure good food , good clottriBg and lodging to the prodaclng milliaos—to do away with the phaMtnena -which existed , which left the most useful class « f society at the mercy of the -worthlesa , mad that * He the former were cooped * b in tha workshops aad the noxious , poisonous , and bady-destnying factorial ; they were
subject to the insults and thefcon-beeied deflpotiam of the latter . Society { satothfi speaks ) wassocaicied on atthepietfm % time , that vice 'was virtue , and virtue vice . All ¦ cbjemee were resorted *• for the pwpoeeof throwing one portion of the working classes atto the streets and fring ing the ethers lover in their wages , so that they van scarcely able to sbtainan heaeet livelihood . It vu the selfish principle assisted * j the power of the lav "which protected # roperty and -left laboutwiprotecfc « d ih »» cMised ute « astan to take the money from the operative * and - ai »* wiaii them to-feed and exercise those speculating , s t ^ st . and oobearinf propensities , Trhieh allowed aad-stimulated them to go into the factory and take a * < atnoh as < s » oat of 16 a . Me . Leach then related what * working'man would bare to . pay
even allowing hisa to get the former sun , and argued that the redmctiom in the wages was sot all which operated iqjgrioosly to the interest of the working man , tor whilst his wag * were reduced , his rents , leys , food and clothing were stattoaaiy , so thashe would have to pay as much lerfcls articles out of £ & , as he would whan getting doable th *« om . Hence it was , that thousands -were brought € rtm cottage houses into cellars , . to be dressed in rags and only half-fed . The tyrants , the eottoa lords , the . property classes , had formed a foul smprincipled and diabolical eonspiraej , and . having a power ever tba l av , the ; had carried ihali seianous designs into execution and sneered aad laughed to scorn the -working people whilst they were plundering them . He denied the assertion-that the interests of the middle
ciassss and the walking'classes were identical . Such as lakers , publican * , and other small shopkeepers who stood behind the counter were somewhat identified , because the better the wages of the -working classes , the larger were their profits . If then they depended upon the wages of the operatives , they most fall in the same proportion . Though soeh was the case , this class who had lisen out of the ranks of the working classes , were generally speaking , 4 be most haughty and ambitious , aad the iavetorate-eoemies to liberty . Those who bat a abort time had been lifted out ef the puddle hide » ere the greatest tyrant * . After referring to the Corn I * w Repeal cry , Hz . Leach next adverted to the faestion o ! machinery , and grappled powerfully witk ¦ Colonel Thompson ' s observations .
she speaker next shewed how property had enhanced in valne , and referred to the property of Lord Egerton , who got a private act passed , vhich would benefit him no km than , £ 10 , 000 by bis coal mines , and vere it not for that act they , the working rln-r * . could Slave had the coals laid at their door , twopence per hundred cheaper than they vere paying . One man could get an act passed for his own benefit , while the v / orking classes might pray and petition seven yean , and no notice be taken of them . He then referred to Ihe taxes of the country , and was of opinion , that if they vere to be taken off altogether , under present eircsmutsaces , the mflUmni would not be benefitted . The usurer * would receive the benefit He instanced the 13 toekport masters , vho wanted to take 10 * . from the
spinners , and showed its evil consequences . Mr . Leach then eonvb&tfced the fallacies of the repealers , vho said that the Chartists should assist for a repeal , because ¦ wages would come down whether or not . The Corn Xaw repealers were continually putting arguments into the Chartists' mouths , they made use of and then refuted them , and called them the arguments of the Chartists . 3 Sr . Leach , in eencftmon , hoped that every vorking naa would attend the meeting on Tuesday evening , and » ot leave it till the business was over . Let there bo no hissing , shouting , ox bawling . If the Cora Law HepealexB -wrold hasr tbe Cbarttsta peaceably , why , abeo , the Chartists mast bear them . He had evaded their meetings of late , because they had been convened in an underhand manner . But for the future the
Chartists not be present and test the intelligent working men of Manchester as to whether they deem machinery a blessing as at present arranged , or a curse . There should lie two chairman and an umpire to decide betwixt them . Before he sat down , he would wish to impress one thing ¦ poa thtir minds , which was , that until the working cIihw were in a position to claim their rights , they vosM remain as they vere—slaves ; and when they asked for them they would ( aa they were then ) be xnetvith a satirical grin of despotism . Mr . Leach then sat down , after delivering an excellent lecture , for vhich he vas applauded while speaking and at the eowehision . Mr . Whitaker then rose and moved the following" resolution : —• ' That the best thanks of this meeting are due , and are bareby given , to Messrs .
Christopher Itoyle , James Leach , and Henry Vincent , for the spirited aad manly manner in which they exposed the faHariPK and deceit of the anti-Corn Law party on Friday evening last in the Corn Exchange , aad the talented nuimiRT in which they advoeated and defended those just and natural rights contained in the People's Charter ; and this meeting farther pledges itself they vrill never agitate for anything short of a full measure of justice for the whole people , and that they are convinced can never be obtained until the . People * Charter becomes the law of the land . " Tke speaker said the time had arrived ¦ when neutrality vraa a crime ; when they -witnessed the distress on every side , it was the duty of every individual to come forward and declare his opinion . He
perfectly agreed -with the resolution ; he believed that justice would never be done to the -working cVasseB until they were in a position to do justice to themselves . At the meeting on Friday night , they would not let Doyle speak until it was carried by a show of hands , and Mr . Walking threatened that if the Chartists opposed them be and his party would attend every meeting for the purpose of opposing them . He was disgusted with the Com Law party ia bringing a resolution forward condemning Sir Robert for proroguing the House , and then at the end of it to . attach all the misery to the operation of the Corn Laws , -which was only an effect of class legislation . He was proud to see the men step
forward as they did on that occasion , in vindicatkm of i of truth . It vas the duty . of the working men to rap- i port them . Had they been middle class men they ' voald have received the thanks of the working men , i and he could Bee no reason why they ont of their own ' zanks were sot equally as deserving . Me was glad to j vitness the progress of the Semperance cause , and of Chartism in Ireland . After other remarks he sat dowu by moving the resolation . Mr . Clark , of Manchester , in a neat and suitable speech , seconded it The Chairman rose and put it , aad wm carried unanimously . Mr . leach made a short speech in « ply , in -which Jje exposed the trickery of Cobden and bis improved machinery . The meeting then separated .

ADDRESS OF THE LONDON DELEGATE COUNCIL TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS OF TEE METROPOLIS . Brethren , —Men anxious to be free ; ve appeal to you at this important juncture to direct your Immediate attention to the address emanating from your Executive ; the measures therein preposed demand you investigation—claim your earnest finpport The time has now arrived when ( laying aside all party bickerings ) we must make an onvrard move in the cause of liberty , a determined attack upon the bulwarks of corruption ; we have now an enemy in power who -will , npon the least sign of vacillation in oet ranks , pounce with tyrannic grafip npon us— -will endeavour to re-enact the bratal
measures of their late predecessors ; but arise in your moral majesty— show to the world that you are prepared to lead the vanguard of the army of freedom and the Tory government will , as they have ever hitherto done , quail before the determined union of an intelligent and mighty people . You are acquainted with the line of conduct laid dawn by your elected heads if you approve of it , hesitate not one instant aoout its immediate adoption ; it cannot be done on the spur of the moment ; to carry its recommendations into victorious effect , it demands the exercise of your continued and persevering exertions ; set them about the woik in right earnest , commence obtaining signatures to the National Petition , nominate the men of yoTii choice , men -worthy to represent the intelligence
, the democracy of this metropolis in the ensuing Convention , and have an eye on the means of raising the necessary fonds for their support ; relax not in your energies -until you have actomplished all that your own interest , the interest of your country demands of yon , see -well to the support of the Executive—you have placed them in a noble , yet perilous position—paralyse not their -energies by withholding the sinews of warfare ; if yon appreciate their -exertiens , give them the means et fcrinmphantly continuing them ; as a means of doing this , let each of you immediately take up his new card of membership , adopt the suggestion of the Executive respecting tea-p&rtiee , festivalsicand let
, , those amongst you whom D ^ me Fortune has placed in easy eircamstanees commence raising a volontary fund for their support . On this subject being -well attended to mainly depends the effectiveaew of our Association . Above all , promote good feeling and brotherly love in our own ranks-iet not the artful efforts of designing men produce evae the appearance of disunion—let a spirit of unanimity preside over our actions—let each among as , forgetful of our own private feelings , look only to the welfase of our common country—let this feeling animate our bosoms , and danger and difficulty will speedily vanish before oar concentrated efforts . We shall then not oaly deserve , but obtain . our freedom .
We remain , your representatives , —Messrs . J . Fassel , Q . Humphries , Charles F . Goodfellow , Thomas Milk , "William Drake , Philip M'Gr&fch , Edward Pickersgili , James Smith , James Knight , Andrew Hogg , — Martin , John Watkins , Edward Langwith , Mills , Dale , Bnffisy Ridley , Edmund Stallwood , William Whaley , John Worthington , Armstrong Walton , Alexander Wilson , William Wilkins , Simpson , Noddei , M'ManuB , LatBcke , Wm .

He spoke at great length of the suffer * Ings of the working population , and of the best remedy , the oae he b& 8 always unflinchingly advocated , political enfranchisement—showed most convincingly that no emigration was required if the land was properly distributed—went at considerable length into the absurd moral-force question , and proved that it was now happily dead and buried—and
ended ; in hisaecuatomed masterly manner , repeating his well-known motto , " Universal Suffrage and no Surrender . " It is needless to say he was vehemently applauded throughout . A social meeting had also been called , to be held in the Exchange Room , Nossstreet , admission by tickets , threepence each . This place , which is capable of holding 1000 persons standing and sitting , was also crowded to excess , indeed whole crowds had to go away , unable to gain admission . What is called the " free and easy" principle was acted upon with regard to the refreshments provided , each person being served with whatever he called for . Mr . Thomason was chairman here also , and commenced the business by a speech of considerable length . Mr . James Lee , farmer , of Stanleygreen , was the croupier , and acquitted himself in a
most praiseworthy mannner . All the toasts usual on these occasions were drunk and appropriately responded to . Mr . O'Connor spoke for more thau two hours , and was , as he richly deserved , repeatedly interrupted with the most deafening cheers . A number of patriotic and other songs and recitations were given , and altogether the erening was passed with a groat deal of instruction and amusement . The audience was decent and orderly , about a fourth or fifth of them being females . The only interruption which took place was given by one of tho " intelligont classes" —a drunken lawyer who had to be carried out . With the customary votes of thanks the meeting broke up about twelve o ' clock , having enjoyed themselves for three hours and a half , or thereabout . —Scottish Patriot .
