Cum-Book , joined'an 'the probraponynid four of the most respectable ladies of Sew MiJls came for the . porywe of doing fconctrr to Mr . tPConnor . Aboas ten xawites afxr three , the caTaScade began to more MBter their own burners . The old Brasaclog flag , under wtecm the Gevenanters of old fought and conquered , aad under which O'Connor had frequently addressed us , Seated in the breeze . The Association bulns in front of the carriage , followed b ; the ooBMBittee—then came the Scotch , bagpipers , And dr eamers , nosic to which the descendants of Wallace are -jwrtfsulariy partial . In the rear followed « be "village band , a -splendid set -of musicians , aod the whole population of the district ; and in this otder « he procession inarched , with a-light step and
beartj- cheering , otct the bridge to the Square , whem % hustings ins erected for the speakers at the bade # f the Market Plaee , and tastefully earpetted ree . When Mr . 0 'Connor mounted the platform , the cheering was deafening j-the multitude flocked to tee front ? the day was serene and calm , with a ¦ earner eua , and every window in the Square was instantly thrown up , and crowded with well-dressed ladkw , and the middle class men of the plaee . Only OBO toaster , who , by gviBdriming and banking , is eaailed to-empley *« n slaves in a pottery speculation , refused a holiday to his men ; and never did we witness isore sincere sorrow than that which "was erineed by these wn « m tyranny cooped up , when ihey weald 1 » to giren worlds lor a day's freedom .
JfcOawierd , ? n «« f the Oomaock Association , was tailed to tke eh * ir . A truly patriotic and spirit-stirring i&bess was presented to Feargus O'Connor . Aveeelation ww fwssed , approving of a great Nati 0 Bal Petitwa , a » d a determinatioa to sigatt ; and also-oneofanbotndftd eoofideoee in Mr . O'Connor , -who addressed the meeting at considerable length , yirr »* i ( rg oat tk » genera ! results which most flow from tae Charter to all classes of weiety , and especially to the middle elasses , whose rery existence depends opon the eoasuBdag powers of the working men . The whole of our middle class neighbours were in atteadaoee ; and it was remarkable that as Mr . O'Connor warmed in his sabject , they pressed ouirards to the bastings . He spoke © f his own
positioa as a leader , aad asserted that there were better men than himself at the the head of the movement . He entered fully into the grievances of his own country , aad showed what the oppression of Ireland cost Scotchmen and Englishmen . He Bade some smashing bite at the finality Whigs , and folly exposed the fallacies of the Corn Law Repealers , who would more all means to arrest the present agitation . He ridiculed the idea of the existence of such a thing as a Whig pjtrty , . and said that now the battle was between Tories and Chartists only ; and , after a glorious display , concluded an Address which gave general satistactioa , by observing ' ' that be had pledged himself to form an ¦ honourable onion with the middle classes , but not such a
one as the subtle and wily require ; bat one in which the people Bhonld give op not a fraction of prin-¦ ap ^ e r tti for which the middle classes should eurleoder their crotchets aad opposition : and he begged to have it understood that in that union tke middle daees should know that their places were is the Tear , and the people with their Charier in the front , They had led the people into eonSagrations , destruction , violence , physical force , and plunder in 1831 ; but they nerer should do bo again , He rejoiced that the M blood-lhirtly Chartists" had- not shed a drop of human blood—that the '" destructive Chartists ' had not violated the rights of property -or destroyed a particle belonging to any human being . And now , said he , I will put this question to
the middle classes around me : Has not the great opposition to the Charter arisen from the strained apposition that the people would become licentious and unmanageable , in short , a kind of freebooters ! while I point their attention to the fact that even they and their servants in parliament admit that sever was there a period of equal distress to that ¦ which the whole people have calmly and peaceably endured for two long yean , and until the philosophers can prove to me that more danger is to be apprehended from a well housed , well dad , we ll fed , and ontented people , than from a houseless , Baked , starving , dissatisfied community—untO that
paradox is solved , I , at all events , shall eontend for the house , the clothes , the food , and the contentment . In fact , said he , those whoa we have too long trusted with pernicious power , which they knew not how to sse , bow refuse to the people the only power which can save all classes . He made a hone charge-npoa those who woald trump up the ghost of physical foroe , for the mere purpose of disorganizing our ruiks , -with the intention of marshalling a tail of moral force working men as an appendage to the middle class Whigs , " to force their « wn political party enee Bore into offios upon a clap-trap administration question , or upon the general principle of
" GftEAT COMMERCIAL REFORM . " This portion , of Mr . O'Connor's speech has gone further to disarm a party is this town who . was actually laying the foundation of ssch a onion , than if he hid spoken for a month . Aitheolose of Mr . O'Connor ' s address a vote of thanks to our excellent Chairman was carried by acclamation , and after three cheers for O'Connor and the Charter , the procession again formed and proceeded to the hsad inn , the " Dumfries Arms , " where an exoeHeot dinner was laid oat in the largest loom in-th « hotel , and which was crammed- Our -opponents say that we hare become aristocratic , as the present is the first occasion upon which we could get access to the haunt of the aristocrats { the head inn ) , but now our friends are beginning to discover that the ready pence of the millions is preferable to the stray pounds of the nobE , which , like angels Tisit 8 , arenot only few aad far between , but are also , like angels , hard to be caught .
THE DIKSER . Xotfaing conld bare been more creditable than the wapnftr in which the poor men arranged their repast , which consisted of everything thai the season afforded . Not only was everything serTed in the heet sJyle , but , what seldom occurs at the aristocratic -feasts , the attendance was unexceptionable . After praee was said by the Chairman of the meeting , the noble ** workies" began the feast ; and . with the exception ~ of a good appetite oniBJured by dissipation and the nightly revel , they ate with . knives and forks , and carred very lifce other men , ¦ none either cutting their throats or poking out their « yes . Onethicg which might be said to distinguish the banquet from those of tho aristocraog , was not the total absence but the very moderate uie of wines , spirits , and intoxicating drinks , the greater number being teetotallers ; aad those who did indolge ^ doiiig ao with the ^ reatest moderation .
When the cloth was removed , thanks ware returned to the beneficent donor of the feast aud all other things , by the Ijtosei . Chartists , as the most KslyEioua people are designated ; aud tbc WKapanv , again beaded by the band , proceeded to theCaartist Hall , to spend the evening in the eajoymeut of " the feast of reason-and the flow of souL" Sa ureat was the desire of the middle classes to hear Mr . O'Connor sore in detail , that when the doors were opened they far the most part appeared to have provided themselves with tickets . The hall was crowded to suSbcatioB . Mr . Cjxwpokd j £ ain resumed the chair . The first toast was ** Th « people , " whieh was ably responded to b y one of enr Association . The next was M The health of Feargus O'Conomr , " wbose serriceg having bees briefly spsken to and eulogised by another of oar body ,
Mr . O * Coxbos presented himself , * nd was greeted with a cheer that made tee village j&g . He opened a hot and hitting battery « pon the fortress of corruption , and finding the middle classes present , he made the most powerfol appeal we ever k ^ ard co their Jove of justice , lore of coaniry , love of peace , 'and love of self-interest , on behalf of the misgoverned «* ople . He traced from them , as the source , every « nevan&e nnder which the people laboured . He ad-Terted to the presemt position of Spain , and the part -wbiea France and Russia would take in the European straggle which the revolution bow threatened to provoke . He alto referred to tke proclamation of
• oe rreadeot of the United States , tor the purpose of suppressing that hostile feeling which the acgaittal of M'Leod might engender towards England , and which promised to end in retaliation upon the Canadian" frontiers . He pointed out the danger of etopping the expression of public opinion , which was society ' s safety-valve , aad adverted to the oonse ^ menceof tyranny in Pzanee * aad other conn tries , where the people were not allowed to assemble for the purpose of discussion .

Mr . O'Connor spoke for nearly two hours in a rapid strain of the most brilliant eloquence , and was rapturously cheered all through , the middle classes joining in the applause , and paying the most unwearied attention . At the close of his speech , three cheers yrere called for , and three times three were given ; and though considerably exhausted and overpowered by the heat of the suffocating meeting ,
he started for Kilmaraockin as opes carriage in the dead of night , a distance of sixteen miles , through a cold bleak country . The band and procession accompanied Mr . O'Connor out of the town over the bridge , and followed him with cheers which echoed from our bills through the stillness of night , and roused the sleepers from their repose , telling them that while they took rest their friend was working for their country ' s regeneration . The effect of O'Connor ' s Visit will be long remembered ; and the result has been even already an anxious inquiry among the middle classes , whose rancour is not only abated , but has actually softened down into promised co-operation . It would bp impossible to attempt a description of the delight of the working classes which Mr . O'Connor's visit has caused . Kilmarnock demonstration tekes place to-morrow ; and so great is the enthusiasm at New Mills , that the whole people arc determined so go in procession , a distance of eight miles , to do honour to their friend .

ANOTHER TRAP FOR THE PEOPLE . x the early part of the present week , a fine exemplification of the tricks resorted to by the enemies of Chartism and the people was brought to our office , in the shape of a very large and attractive placard , printed at Manchester , and purporting to be a convening of two meetings in Carpenter ' s Hall , for furthering the objects of " The Daily Bread Society , " an infamous conspiracy lately set on foot by a section of the "Plague" men to entrap the people into an illegal combination , aad so lay them open to the raking fire of a " strong Government . " The placard in question was most gorgeously " displayed , " and the following is a copy of it : —
u PUBLIC MEETING of the Men of Ma . xchsstsh will be held in the Carpenter ' s HalJ , Garratt Road , on Thursday evening , Oct . 21 , 1841 , and a Public Meeting of the WOMEN OF MANCHESTER will he held in the same place , on Fr iday evening , Oct . 22 nd , 1841 , on the former of which occasions an address will be delivered on the best mode of obtaining the repeal of the Food Taxes , as the road to the PEOPLE'S CHARTER , or to something better , accompanied by some statements respecting the conduct and proceedings of the Man Chester Anti-Corn Law League , which it is hoped they will attend and hear .
" On the second occasion will be delivered an Address on the Political and Social Rights of Women , pointing out the means to their attainment through the Repeal of the Bread Tax , by MR . HILL , Honorary Secretary to the National Daily Bread Society , Author of Daily Bread , the Bread Eater ' s Advocate , &c . &c " Admission to the body of the Ball , One Penny Gallery , Twopence ; Platform , Sixpence , to defray expences . u Geo . P . Jennings , 6 , Blue Boar-oonrt , Manchester . "
The tricks to which these Anti-Corn Law gentry are compelled to descend to get an audience together to hear their fallacies and sophistries , is good evidence of the progress of sound and honest enlightenment on these subjects among the working men . In this placard , the words " Publio Meeting , " " Peopl e ' s Charter , " and "by Mr . Hill , " are printed in the largest type that could possibly be got into the breadth of the sheet ; doubtless with the idea of inducing parties to attend , from the supposition that it was a Chartist meeting , to be addressed by the Editor of this paper . We have not beard the result of this palpable ruse ; but it requires
not much penetration o see that it is eminently calculated to defeat itself ; because parties who might have een thus entrapped were not likely to be loDg in discovering , or slow in resenting , the cheat practised on hem . The people are not now to be led by men . Past services and established reputation are not now received as substitutes for principle . If the Editor of the Northern Slar should presume to prate the nonsenso of the Vi Daily Bread Society" to any meeting of the men and women of Manchester , he would be Tery deservedly treated with as little ceremony as we dare say was bestowed upon this pseude " Bread Eater ' s Advocate . "
The tail of the placard tells us , that the " Mr . Hill" therein referred to , is the author of ** Daily Bread" aad the" Bread Eaters Adweate , " &c . &c Two numbers of this "Bread Eater ' s Advocate" have been sent to us by some friend , whom we thank ; and their contents induced us to buy the book referred to under the title " Daily Bread . " We find it to be a rascally insidious plot to take advantage of the extensive nnpopnlarity of the corn laws for bringing the people into collision with th »
law . That we may not b 9 Buspected of misrepresenting the character of this "Daily Bread " pamphlet , and the society to which it has gWen rise , we give its eharacter from its own champion , the Leeds Times , as quoted in large type , and with no small air of triumph by the Bread Eater ' s Advocate himself . The Leeds Times then Bays : — u There need be ' no mistake' about the D&ilv Bread Society . It is AN ORGANISED PLANperfect ^ legal , and justifiable we think , in amoral point of view—FOR BREAKING THE LAW •»"
And this , too , from the chief organ of the " philoso phical Radicals" ! the " Moral philosophers" i ! the u Rational Chartists" !!! the inveighers against the ** physical force doctrines of Feasbus O'Con / sob and his wild associates" 2111 We say nothing about the logical consistency of a " iKSiX organised plan to break the law" ! We leave that plume to adorn the cap of our " learned " neighbour , along with his bells ! This organised p ?^ p for breaking the law" has been also iighly spoken of by the Horning Chronicle , and « thar Whig papers .
Thus it has ever been that our greatest task is to combat the incitements to violence of the lying scoundrels , who are ever ready to decry their own doctrines , and to hand over their , dupes to punishment In bis introduction to " Daily Bread , " Uw Author says , that be "is in no * way connected with the persons who have taken tire name" of pijysical-fiarce Chartists . " To what " pe / sons" ifcee the " Daily Bread" man allude ! We never heard of sach persons . Webayeheard much outcryand jna chderinuciationof physical force from " vendible scoundrels , " " ruffian slaves , " " conspirators , " and M members of revolutionary clubs , " such as they of the Morning Chronicle , the Globe , the Leeds Times , and tie Bread Eakr ' s

Advocate ; but we have seldom 4 " oua ^ more direct incitements to physical noljBnca than those which abound in bo toahy of '' in © ' ' missives of this H Daily Breid ;? o # etyi * ^' i have come under our notice . ' The object aid purpose of the " Daily Bread Society" aa stated by its founder , is to ;* resist , " * to " evade , " « id break through '' ^ he law ; and the following is a brief sketoh of the mode in which they propose to dp it .
Societies are to be started in all the large towns , having fox their object tha abolition of the Corn Laws . These are to be called " Daily Bread Societies . " Everybody who contributes one peony is amemW : he receives a printed card * or ticket , which constitutes bis avaberahip ; and these pennies are to be employed 1 in sending out ships to' bring over foreign com' to bar shores , to be landed , nokrw potent ; and the people are gravely advised * if the Queen should object to repeal tin Corn Laws , to march up to the water side ia companies of ten or twenty thousand , armed with " empty bags , " for the purpose of defying the preventive service and landing their corn without paying the duty ! ' ' Is there a mooncalf in existence so foolish as not
to see that the antbor of this atrocious plan means one of two things ! He either means to organise an armed resistance to the law , or he means to lead the people into collision with the authorities , for the purpose of having them slaughtered ! We care not upon which horn of this dilemma he may choose to hang himself ; from both he cannot escape . We guess his tea or twenty thousand u empty bag "
bearers would find something harder and heavier to carry than corn , after but a very short altercation with the military . And hear the eool manner in which this fearful consideration is disposed of by the Bread Eater ' s Advocate . In No . 1 . is an article containing an enumeration of " objections which might be urged against the National Daily Bread Society , with answers ;' one of these objections is the very natural and obvious one : — -- ' ....
" That if the people took the corn out of the ship , or out of the bonding warehouse , by foroe ; thete might be loss of life /* This objection the writer , " who is no way connected with the persons who have taken . the name of physical force Chartists , " and who considers it " a mistaken course to stimulate the people to aots of violence , " replies to in the following terms : — " That the Corn Law could not be imposed without bloodshed , nor continued without bloodshed ,
was not admitted as a Mason why it should not exist ; for be it recollected there was Corn Law blood Bhed in Westminster in 1815 , and Corn Law blood shed at Peterloo in 1819 ; so that even if it were certain that it could not be repealed without bloodshed , it by no means follows that it should be Buffered to exist . England has Bome noble 1 Romans' who would willingly lay down their lives in such a holy cause .
" Oh she has Sons that never , never Will stoop to be the Landlord ' s Slaves , While Heaven has light Or Earth has graves . " " When Barbaroux sent a message to Marseilles that they were to send him' six hundred men who knew how to die , ' the call was quiokly responded to ; aor would suoh a call to Manchester be long unresponded to , though it is hoped it may not be necessary !! " .
After this sample of the M moral force" teaching ot this Bread Eater ' s Advocate , it is quite unnecessary that we should caution our readers to hare nothing to do with any suoh " perfectly legaT' enterprises as that of the Daily Bread Society . We have always counselled the people to regard as enemies those who would bring them into collision with the law . We do so still . And we tell them that the founders and abettors of this " Daily Bread Society" are either the most inoorrigible fools , or amply deserving of the mild epithets , " vendible scoundrels , " " ruffian slaves , " " conspirators , " and " members of revolutionary clubs" which they belch out by wholesale against the people who have more
sense than to be gulled by them . We strongly suspect , indeed , that their vocabulary is the result of a somewhat close acquaintance with their own characters . But , in either case , whether knaves or fools , they are unfit to be trusted . And that they are one of the two , can be doubted by no man who has read the Bread Eater ' s Advocate and its grave recommendation , that an indefinite number of starving mea Bhall put their pence into the fob of some " Daily Bread Collector , " without any gaar&ntee for seeing or hearing anything more ot their money ; and that if perchance it should be rightly appropriated , they should march in groups of 10 , 000 or 20 , 000 , with empty bags" upon their backs , to ask
the military to shoot them 1 We Bhould not have noticed this contemptible abortion of the Plagus , but or the trick to which it seems they are resorting , of attempting to pass off their illegal conspiracies to break the law , " as modes , to be adopted by the people for obtaining the People ' s Charter . Of course we need not say that these" Daily Bread" men , have no more intention to
do any thing for the attainment of the Charter , than they have to bring down the moon in one of their " empty bags . " Lest , however , there should be any doubt upon this matter , the Bread Eater ' s Advocate has very kindly put it beyond doubt . In No . 2 , is an article be-praising Col . Tbohpson , not for his support of universal suffrage , for which he really deserves praise , but because " Col . Thompson had the judgment to see the advantagesof a repeal of the Corn Lwb before most other men . " From tbat article we
give the following extract , which settles the question of what the Daily Bread men mean to do with the ChaTtists , if they can hook them into an unition : — " If the operatives and the Chartists of Lancashire and Yorkshire , the men of Birmingham , and the men of Scotland , want to kill two birds , the Corn Law and the restricted Suffrage , they are acting wisely to choose for their leader the best man for shooting woodcocks . Ha will be a good man to decide , too , whether we ought to try to kill two birds at one shot , or if we are to have two shots , which WE SHOULD BEING DOWN FIRST . "
The question needs not the talent or the shrewdness of Colonel Thompson to decide it . Let the Chartists do one thing at once , and that with all their might , or they will assuredly find themselves unaWo to do anything worth doing . Let them keep on the high toad of Chartism , and beware of byepaths . And , above all things , let them eschew the " empty bags" of the " Daily Bread Society" ! Let them adhere to their own legal and peaceful agitation for their own Charter . Let them—we
again repeat it—spurn from them , as a poisonous viper , the wretch who counsels them to break the law . Never were so many cobwebs spread for the poor flies as now ! The oppressive hand of faction has heaped upon the people misery aad destitution almost beyond bearing ; the grasping hand of Capital has folded in its vile embrace almost the whole media of production ; the labourer , supplanted at his hearth and beeome a surplna drug , must be got rid of ; and the soil must be rendered valaeless that the " merchants , who are prinees , " may tell their countless hoards and revel
in their luxuries without the presence of the hated competitor in the p erson of the landlord , or the stili more hated drawback in the person of the breathing , starving , but not needed slave . To accomplish these objects many have be « n the efforts of the monster ; crafty aad subtle his devices , but all cruel and relentless in their nature ; and of all these the crowning one is this same " Daily Bread Society , " whioh literally seeks , in the erafty language of i ts founder , » to kill two birds with one stone ! " There caa be no dunbt tfcat
the intention of th © " empty bag" processions is to accomplish two things at once : to obtain a large thinning of the "surplus population , " by the musket , the halter , and the transport ship ; and at the same time to create a popular demonstration which shall intimidate the Government and compel them to elevate the commercial upon the ruins of the landed interest . 'Tis a deep devilish plot , and well laid . ' The rascals well know the character of those with whom they have to deaL They know that a strong Tory Government may not be trifled with ; that it villfctattd no nonsease ; that it will bear but little ba ^ eriagiwfore it M shows figKt * :

" SAVE US FROM OUR FRIENDS . It is our maxim always to nip an evil in the bud . Elsewhere we have given a caution to the people against a new trap laid for them by a section of the anti-Corn Law men . We have now to eaotian them against over-zeal , or that form of ^ eachery which is often hard to be distinguished from it , in our own camp . We have suffered severely from this cause ia former times . Let us " stand away" from the beacon which has been erected . Let not all we have done , and all we are doing , b » rendered useless by the treachery or folly of a few individuals .
We have been indaced thus to write from a perusal of the speech of Mr . Black , at Sheffield , reported in oar last number . The hurry of business caused it to esoape our particular attention last week ; bat , on deliberate periiBal , we find it fraught with moat mischievous sentences ; such as , while we doubt not that they emanate from a very honest and good feeling in the speaker , are capable of being wrested by our enemies to the damage of our
cause . After speaking of the state of Wales , and the necessity of lecturers , he goes on to pay \ i-r" That men , like Harney and himself , must not be employed , for they > were not fitted to preach patience to an oppressed people bubnihg fob vxngsawch and FREEDOM . " - ¦ Again , speaking of the Welsh mountaineers , he sayBi" Aye , they have sworn to die rather than bear with injustice much longer ; and their ardent hope was , that the day would speedily come when they would hear that their Euglish brethren were risen to a man to demand their rights ; and when that hour oamc , Englishmen might be assured that Welshmen would not bo found in the background . "
Farther on he says : — "Should the Tories attempt to do the same sb the Whigs , and seize our Champion , O'Connor , I trust the people will proclaim their resolution ; and act upon it , too , to have man for man . " Now , we ask , seriously , are We to have the follies , absurdities , and denouncements of 1839 over again ! Are we to lay ourselves open to prosecution merely to pander to the self-conceit of persons who , like Mr . Black , suffer their ami to outstrip their prudence !
And if we permit the honest and well meaning thus to " run riot" in imprudence , and cheer them in it , where are we to stop ? or how are we to distinguish a simple honest matt , which we think Black to be , from a mouthing , designing knave—who has s point of treachery to serve ! The history of popular agitations in England shew this remarkable iaot : that whenever they attain a powerful position , the Government always tries , by means of spy instigators , to entrap the people , into premature outbreaks , for which the honest and enthusiastic are always sure to suffer , and the spies to-be rewarded . The " Cato-street conspiracy * ' for
which Thistxewoop , Ings , PAVisotr , Brunt , and Tiod , were hung and beheaded , and for the getting up of whioh Edwards and Castles , the spies , were rewarded , is an instance in point ; the risings and outbreaks in Yorkshire , Derbyshire , and Lancashire , in 1817 , for which so many hundreds were imprisoned , Brandreth , LuoLow , and Turner were hung , aad mauy w « re transported , but for which Oliver , the spy , was sent out of the kingdom by the Government , with a snug ebmmissionersbip , is another instance in point ; the career of Richmoxd , the spy , in Scotland , is another instance ; and we tell our readers that thelate disturbances at Newport , and Sheffield , and Bradford , and Dewsbury , for which Frost , Williams , and Jones , so nearly lost
their heads , and for . which they are now banished their country and forced to herd with the veriest outcasts of society , and for whioh so many good men and true have been imprisoned , is another instance . The truthful and honest were there punished ; but the instigators—the getters-up , whert are they ! Have they been sentenced to be hanged and beheaded ! Have they been ' transported ?—Have they been imprisoned eighteen months in York or Lancaster Castles ! No , no ! not they , indeed 1 Have they not rather been suffered to slip off the political stage into retirement as effectual as if the broad Waters of the Atlantic rolled between some of them and us ! Yes , we heard nob of those who planned the whole affair—who proposed " secret societies ;"
who entrapped Frost ; and who would have sent hundreds more to the gallows , bat for our discovery of tho hellish plot and instant note of alarm ; we heard not of these parties being apprehended and prosecuted for " high treason , " though we happen to know that evidence was in the possession of the " authorities , " whioh would inevitably have convicted them , had the government dared to prosecute . What , then , with these instances before him , is Mr . Black about ! He must surely be demented ! Does he not know that his " mighty myriads " ( if they resortod to physical force ) could all be routed by a regiment of Boldiexs J—
Has he not seen enough of i 83 &-9 , to witness how the palsy of weakness comes over us the moment we outstep the law ! Any how , if he does not , ice must show him that each follies shall not be tolerated . We are astounded at the men of Sheffield cheering such sentiments . Where has our cause suffered more from the * ' talk " of physical force than at Sheffield ! We implore the people , for the sake of Ireland , —just beginning to see our principles—; for the sake of the thousands who will be plunged into misery , if men like Black be listened to . resolately
to- set their faces against all allusions to force and bloodshed . Good God ! are we again to reach the Very threshold ofr jkeedom , and again to have out hopes blasted , by the treachery or madness of oar own party I Wkit good ; will * he Sfar ot last week do in Ireland I Will not the ^ 'Cbj « lfiStLiTBa ^ point triumphantly to Black's Bpeeohat Sheffield as a proof that we are ton'h and dagger pen !

" JSEM (} . , v ; : :. ; ,.- v : 7 ' ; : ; Wb have bad many glorious triumphs to record in the onward struggle for the Charter , but' we ne ^ er remem ber to have witnesscd ^ av ^ moft : decided defeai : of the most deep-laid piece of sophistry ever attempted by the Fox and Goose dab , than , that obtained oveir them , in their own meeting , heW on Monday evening , in the large room ; Commercial Buildings , Leeds . * v V V ; ' ¦ :
' ' Tfhek&cetiog wasi prpfes 8 e 41 y ; , gbt up for tho purpope of agreeing upon ^ eueh ; grand principles for agitation as should have the tendenoy of unitia ' ffa !! grades of Reformers' {; but , unforiunjitely for them , although thVfirst resolution , which attributed ; all the misery , in this country to the want of the-Suffrage , and was allowed to pass ; the sctond , " which was to the effoot that the Corn La , ws ; vi ^ the greatest evil resulting from the defect in the Suffrage , and ought ,, therefore ,- to demand our
immediate consideration wiih a view to their repeal , appeared at onoe-to have let the cat out pf the bag ; for long ere the mover and seconder had finished their harangues , the ire of the meeting was ; kindled ; and as if to arrive at the climax of dissatisfaction by design , a Mr . Cdbtis , aa Americau , and professing republican opinions , added fuel to the fire of disconteat already kindled , by inflicting the usual rigmarole so maen in vogue among the Corn Law ; repeal hireling agitators , and speedily brought down upon the whole tribe of tricksters a well-timed and
judioious Chartist amendment , to the effect "that this meeting pledges itself to agitate for nothing Bhork of the People's Ghajffer / 1 ¦¦ . . , T Much good speaking was the result of this amendment , and vhieh , on « Te part of 1 he CliattiBte , dftseives tho highest praise ; but we oaanot deny ourselvea the pleaeare of congratulating Mr . Frederick Lkes on the noble stand which he made , and the able manner in which hq exposed and refuted the sophisms of the repeal party . This is the . more pleasing to us , because we have long had to lament—shall we say the apathy !—nay , not only
the apathy , bat the determined opposition of the teetotal body generally , in Leeds , to the principles of the People ' s Charter . Latterly , however , a great change has been working among that class of men and We trust that this noble example : of the great and clear-headed champion of Temperance , will be the means of bringing into our ranks many of these sober self-denying and practical revenue destroyers and Government Reformers . We have long known that truth with righteousness must
unite ; or , mother words , that teetotallers must beeome Chartists as well as that Chartists will become abstainers from intoxicating drinks ; and we thus picture to ourselves a phalanx of muscle , might , mind , morality , and voice , by the exertion of which , the old rotten systems of tyranny and despotism shall tremble andfall . Let them kick and writhe and flurry as they may , our will and power will then be irresistable , and our triumph speedy and glorieus .
The majority in favour of the amendment was at least three to one . Every shift to avert ; this ; denoument ¦ was made by Mr . PtiNT , the Corn Law Repealer ; but to no use . The meeting was- divided , and the majority was so great that the Chairman immediately declared the amendment carried . It is worthy of remark , that no preparation whatever , was made by the Chartists to obtain this great victory ; the whole affair appears to have been entirely spontaneous , and done at a time too , when every effort had been made by the Foxes to assemble their friends from among the working men ; proving at onoe their real insignifioanoe as a party , and the influence and spread of Chartism .
Surely James Ga&tu Mabsuall , Esq . Mr Hambu Stansf eld , and their admirers , will Bee by this time the utter inntility of wasting their energies in attempting to satisfy the people with mere segments of Reform and class crotchets . The people are far a head of all Buch men and measures , and may no longer be tampered with .
