      HIGHLY IMPORTANT FRO VI AMBRICA . —CAPTURE OF COLONEL GBOGAN .. —ATTEMPT TO BLOW-UP TWO BRITISH

On , the departure of tfie Sheridan most of the oomaeprial citiee in tbe United States were ia the greatest stale- of . excitement re-» ecting the trial of M * Iieod .. - The President of the United States has lamed a proclamation , which will be found below , denouncing certain lodges , bound together by secret oaths , which exist , it appears , ia . great numbers on the

      northern frontier , opposite ie Canada .. He points eat in strong terms the impropriety of their proceedings , and states that saoh of them as may be captured by the British authorities will not bexaolaimed as American citizens . * The object of these lodge , rtimuiawd by the approaching trial of M'Leod , 1 b to tBske another * vroi £ grw ~ reyo 7 & ? ioiiize Canada , and tkeir ohanoe offlueeees maybe inferred from the fact of there being ia that province several thousand more British troops than were there daring either of the late Canadian outbreaks , when the habitant and their friends , the American "sympathisers , " eat saoh a wretched figure , According to the Trog Whig , the number of Americans banded together for thia purpose comprises a body of 50 , 000 or 60 , 000 persons , who are ready , adds that paper—published , by the way , in a district likely to know their movements—* at" a moment's framing to cross the frontiers , to

      carry fire and sword into the heart of Canada . " It is very evident to observing men , who reside near tho Canadian . frontier , that unusual preparations hive been making for Borne time past among those who are friendly to the cause of the " patriots , " and the most disastrous consequences are apprehended , unless tTiiq conspiracy * g * oaet a > nation witja whom we are at peace is broken np . The recent robberies of powder and arms were doubtless committed by persons who are in the employment of the conspirators , and similar seizures will , no doubt , be attempt--ed by them from time to time . It is sapposed that tbe manner in which the " patriots" will oonduct the attack upon Canada will be jto orosa . tbe line in the night , commit whatever de . aredati © as they can , aad retreat , when they ace discovered , into oar own territory . A series of such attacks will , of ooorse , bring down upon them the whole Tt ^^» ° h force now stationed in < Tk »^/ f * Tn » t ' force numbers some

      30 ^ 00 iroopa .. ,, .. : , .,--... . But the most important feature in the news by the present arrival , is . the seixare of a person named Grogaa , who made himself obnoxious to the Canadian authorities in the outbreaks preeeduig Lord Durham ' s mission . This person , is , it " seems , an American by birth , and whufrsteeping in the house of his brother-in-law , at a place called Aldburgh , in the United States , and within two or three miles of the Canadian frontier , the bouse was surrounded by a body of dragoons , under the command of Captain

      Jones , of her M * jestv B service , who made their way to his bed room for the purpose of apprehending him . Grogan made aiorioas resistance , and was severely wonnded in the straggle ; ultimately , however , he was taken prisoner , and sent under heavy irons to Montreal , to take his trial . As Bay be readily imagined , this has fired the fury of the border " patriots" beyond expression , and has added flame to the fuel which it was the object of the President ' s proclamation to quench .

      PROCLAMATION . Whereas it hat come to the knowledge of the Govern ment of the ¥ nited States that sundry secret lodges , dabs , oi intrtmtipm . exist on tbe northern frontier ; that the members of these lodges we bound together by secret oaths ; that tbe ; have collected fire-arms and ether niii »« y materials , aad secreted them in sundry places ; and that it is their purpose to violate the laws of their country bj maY ^ g military aad-lawless incursions , whan opportunity shall offer , into the territories of a power with which the United State * are at peace ; and whereas it it known that travelling agitatats , from both Miles of the line , visit these lodge * , and harangue foft members in aocrot meeting , -stimulatinc tfrn to

      Illegal acts - , and whezaas the same persona are known to levy contribaHons on tbe ignorant sod credulous fox theii owa frMmfit , that sopposti&g aad ^¦• M ^ -y tbemselves by the basest means ; and whereas the ^ unlawful intentions of the members of these lodges have already been manifested i&aa attempt to destroy tbe lives and property of the inhabitants of Cbippewa , in Canada , and the public property of the British Government there being . Now , therefore , I , John Tyler , President of the United States , do issue thia my proclamation , admonishing all such evil-minded persons of the condign punishment which ia certain to overtake them ; assuring them that the laws of the United States will be rigorously executed against their illegal sets ; and that if in aay lawless incursion into Canada they fall into the hands of the British authorities they will not be

      reclaimed as ^ m ^ Wn eitisens , nor any interference made by this Government in their behalf . And I exhort all weH-meaning but deluded persons who have joined these lodges immediately to abandon them , and to have nothing more to do with their secret meetings , orunlawfal oaths , as they would avoid serious consequences to themselves . And I expect the intelligent and well-dis posed members of the community to frown oa au these snlawful combinations and illegal proceedings , and to assist tbe Government in maintaining the peace of the country against the mischievous consequences of the acts of these violators of the law . : Given under my sand , at the City of Washington , the 25 thday of September , AD ., 1841 , sad of the Independence -of the United States ftie 66 th .

      ( L . S- ) JOHK TTLEB . By the President , Daniel Webstbr , Secretary of State . It appears by the New York Press , that the organisation of secret societies and Hunters' Lodges along the Canadian frontier were very extensive and perfect , and that a large body of influential men had joined their ranks , and are meeting nightly in large numbers . Their head quarters seem to be at Rochester . This exitement has been increased by the abduction of Colonel Grogan from the State of Vermont into Canada , the details of . which are given in the following border papers : — ( From the Burlington Free Press . ) The following ontrage far exceeds anything that has transpired since the commencement of the border trenblea . If the people of the United States continue to submit to such invasions , they are unworthy the name of freemen : —

      " Alburgh Springs , Sept 20 . " Mr . Editor , —A circumstaBce occurred in thia neighbourhood last night , which , in these times of excitement , may be of sufficient interest to obtain a place in the columns of your paper . The circumstances 'were as follow : —Last night , about two or three o ' clock , and armed force ( from the other side of tbe line ) of some twelve or fifteen men , entered thehouse of a Mr . Brown , in search of on * James Grogsn , who arrived at Brown ' s ( a brother-in-law of hisi the previous evening ; they fi » t entered the bed-room of Mr . and Mrs . Brown , who immediately raised an alarm for a hired man and son of Mr . B ., then in their lodging-room ; the mob immediately placed a bayonet at each of their breasts ,

      threatening that if they uttered another word they would run them through ; as soon as they found their mistake , they then entered tbe room occupied by Mr . Grogangagged him , and dragged him from bis bed to a waggen in the street , sad made off with him towards the lines , leaving all his clothes , a hat , bayonet , and a handkerchief behind . These are all the facts to be obtained here . I am told that the cause of this treatment to Grogan is , that he was connected with tbe firing of a building on this frontier in the late rebellion . Grogan hi * a wife and a large family of children , at Lockport , K . Y-, from whence he had lately come to this place on bttsinem . "A Visitor at the Sprisgs . "

      By a gentleman direct from the sceae of this outrage , we learn that Mr . Qrogan was severely wounded in his attempt to escape , having his thigh run through by a bayonet , and a serious injury in his side . This occurred about four miles this aide the line . How long are the people of the United States to submit to outrages of this nature ? ( From the Burlington Sentinel . ) Another Atrocious Ikyasioh op Americas Soil bt Gut-throat British Soldiebt . —By a letter from Alburgh , we learn that another atrocious invasion of American territory has been perpetrated by enr amiable neighbours , the British . On Sunday Bight last , a party of twelve British , soldiers , fully armed , crossed over iato Albnrgh , "VX from Canada , in three waggons . They then proceeded to the house of Mr . Brows , which is situated four miles thiB side of the lines , who is brother-in-law of Col . of 1 & 38 and

      Grown , one of the political refugees , , who has resided opon this side ever since . ; This was about midnight . The brave band of British midnight assassins then stealthily entered the house with bayonets fixed . A portion of them proceeded to the bed-room of Mr . and Mrs . Brown , ana with bayonets at their throat * , threatened them with instant dsaih in caseftey made the least noise . The others went to the bed where Colonel Grogan was ¦ keping , seked . gagged , « Bd bound huar hand and foo ?? £ astT £ y 5 e * through his leg , soother into his side , and in this bombfe atate , nearly destitute of clothing , he was harried into a waggon , and driven offSito Canada . TheMawtherircBmBtanees f this fearful affair , from a sooree entitled to the fullest confidence . Colonel Grogan is an American , but for a few years preceding the outbreak of 1837 , be resided on CaldwelTs Manor , some two or three miles from Alburgh , on the Canada side .

      JJSEDSh ' < .. - . - . -i gNEMPLOYED OPERATIVES ENUMEKATIO ^

      PUBLIC MEETING . . On Saturday evening last , a public meeting , called by the Unemployed Operatives' Enumeration Committee , was held in the Saleon of the Mueio Hall vin Albion-street , for tbe purpose of laying before th « inhabitants a report of their labours . It was announced that William Aldam , jun ., Esq ., one Of the members for the borough , won Id be present , and , at half-past Bix o ' clock , that gentleman , accompanied by Mr . Darnton Luptonj Mr . Thomas Benson Pease , the Rev . Taps . SesJes , and other gentlemen ; entered the room , and was received with cheering : The Saloon at the time of commencing business was above half foil , and the numbers daring the 'proceedings kept oontiu&alh increasing , so that there

      would be nearly 1 , 000 persons present . Mr . Johh Spkbd , ( the president of the enumeration committee , we believe , ) was called to the ekair , and said , that bad he been allowed to consult bis own feelings , he Bhoold not fiave occupied the place to which they had elected him , but as it was their wish he would endeavour to discharge the duties that would devolve upoa him to the best of his ability * . He received consolation from the fact that the cause whiek they had met to support was not" -dependent upon its advocates for a share of public sympathy ; they were called to wnsider tbe situation of thousands of operatives who were starving for want of the necessaries of life . All parties , he thought , were now agreed that great distress did

      prevail , thosgh there were differences of opinioa an to its cause , one party ascribing it to the gambling system pursued by the merchants and manufacturers , another to the opera £ oa of the Com and ^ Provision Laws , and another to the contraction of the elective franchise . ( Hear , hear . ) -But whether it was te one or to all of these causes that the distress was to be ascribed , he gave co opinion—that was not the problem they were met dipcuae . Many remedies had been suggested for them ; aa eaineml man , * miais * , ter of the gospel , he believed , oo . being asked his opinion of the , -means of raising man from , his degradation , said . Educate , educate , educate , " and with this advice he agreed , for by giving the people

      education they gave them knowledge * , by knowledge they gave them power , and by power they furnished them with the means of assisting themselves and others . ( Cries of hear , hear . )—Mr . Speed , after some other observations , said the poor asked for no more than justice , and he hoped the day was far distant when they would be satisfied with anything less . ( Cheers . ) He hoped each speaker would be patiently heard , and that each would speak bis mind fearlessly , and though they might not be able to speak grammatically , yet the truths they uttered would be there « ven if clothed in plain language . Ho then called upon the Secretary to read the report .

      Mr . Jakes Rattrat , the Secretary , previous to presenting the report , announced that the reason why Mr . Wm . B * ckett was not present , was his unavoidable absence in London . Be bad written to the Committee to Bay that he had left London on the Friday after the prorogation of Parliament , tot the purpose of attending their meeting onJSaturdav evening last ; and on his arrival in Leeds be learat that it had been put off . He therefore invited a deputation from the Committee to meet him at the Bank on Tuesday last , at two o ' clock , when they were courteously received , and Mr . Beckett inspected their documents , and inquired accurately into all their proceedings . He also offered , in case the meeting agreed upon a memorial to the Queen , to be tbe means of communication between them and the Secretary of State . The deputation ' were quite satisfied with the conduct of Mr . Beckett . The Secretary taea read the following document : —

      REPORT OF THE PERSONS COMPOSING THE LEEDS UNEMPLOYED OPERATIVES' ENUMERATION COMMITTEB , TO THE CONTKIBUIOBS AND THE PUBLIC GENERALLY .

      Your Committee in submitting their report beg leave to state that , from the commencement of their labours until sow , they have not only felt the responsibility which tha undertaking imposed upen them , but have uniformly endeavoured to impress upon the minds of all connected with the taking of the enumeration , the necessity of proceeding with prudence , caution , and impartiality ; while on the one hand tbe importance ef observing a strict accuracy in all tbe details has been earnestly recommended , the propriety . of avoiding exaggerated statements hat been no less studiously avoided . While your Committee feel that they would be chargeable with a presumptuous confidence , in the correctBess of the estimate whteh they have made of the printing destitution , if they did not at caee admit the probability of many exaggerated statements being

      ineluded in the eDameratiao , they are Berrertbeless convinced , that the number of families which have inadvertently and unavoidably been omitted will far more than counterbalance the probable exaggerations . Tour Committee are aware that the partial reports of extreme distress have , in numerous In ^ 'y * , been submitted to the publk , but one professing to embrace all the destitution within the borough , has not to their knowledge been hitherto attempted ; at all events , they are not aware that any similar attempt has been made by operatives , in this or any other town ; but , as this very fact may subject the accounts to the suspicions of those who have not informed themselves as to the manner in which the enumeration has been conducted , your committee feel that they would be omitting a duty

      which they owe to the public generally , and to tbe contributors particularly , if they did not give a brief explanation of their mode of procedure in this matter , as well as leave the books and other documents connected to be scrutinised by those who , from feelings of sympathy and benevelenoe , or fer purposes of public utility , may require them . The Provisional Committee having issued circulars , containing a condensed view of their projected operations , to the operatives employed at the various factories , workshops , is . 4 c , found , from tbe prompt and cordial response which their solicitations for co-operation and support were met , that they would be justified in proceeding , without delay , in the prosecution of the inquiry . For this purpose they provided a suitable enumeration book for each of the wards ,

      containing a series of columns , with printed designations , signifying the order in which the particulars were to be noted . They then selected twenty intelligent persons , good penmen , from amongst the unemployed operatives , two of whom were assigned to each of the wards . They likewise employed Henry Han , a competent person , otherwise unemployed , to work out a correct analysis from all the books , and the sufe-committee met every evening \ Sabbaths exoepted ) dnriag the taking of tbe enumeration to investigate the progress and accuracy of the work . The following result , taken from the balance sheets of the analysis , is now submitted to this meeting , and will , of course , be listened to with that becoming attention which Vat serious importance of the subject demands : — EAST WARD .

Mr . CHAttiES Ray Thomas , ib movinff the first

      resolution , said that the report they had heard entered so fully into details , that it was unnecessary to go over , the ground again . ' They were not met to discusa the merits or demerits of either one party or toe other . They were met to present an unexaggeratedatatement t and great credit was due to the Committee for the manner in . wbieh it was brought forward ; he wished , every other dietllot of the country would follow their example .:. Every precaution had been taken to make the returns as correct aa possible ;; thousands were starving who had pride enough to m * ka theoi determioed to starve rather than throw thamaelvea on the- parish , -where their treatment wm in > general saoh as no man who had a Bpark otepiritcould put up with . He concluded a rather lengthy speech by moving the following resolution : —

      " That the mode punned by the Committee ; ! n affectlog tbe enumeration justifies tbia meeting in adopting the report now read , as sffotding the moat correct estimate of the amount of deatitatlon in the Borough that has hitherto been obtained . '' Mr , Wm .

He ventured his character on the correctness qf Jh . o report ; errors , it was true , there might be'Of a trifling dature , but the fault lay with thosei w . h ^ h . adjtgiven the informalioo , and not with the enumerators or the committee , and when the report came , tabs laid before Jhe Housapf

" He alluded to several cases of severe distress which had come under bis own notice , and drew from thence i the conclusion that while individual instances Were so numerous , the aggregate mass of general distress must be Renoasin the extreme . The resolution was seconded by Mr . Jacob Wood , in a few brief remarfeg .

      Mr Johh Crowthbr , one of the enameratore , who had visited the West Ward , then entered into a detail of the heart-rending scenes he bad witnessed iath « course of his canvass . Mr , John Sandjcrson moved the third resolution : — ' - ••• ¦ ¦ . " That a deputation be authorised to , wait upon the local authorities , for the purpose of making a representation or the privation which so many of the inhabitants are enduring . Thia wag seconded by Mr . John Briogs , and

      supported by Mr . Mich akl Lee , oae of the enumerators for the East Ward , who said that though he was a fustian jacket , he was not a blistered hand , as he had had no work for upwards of twelvemonths . He then detailed at length the scenes of misery , destitution , woe , and famine , whicb . be bad mat with in that part of the town which he had visited—details which were so shocking and incredible , that , for fear : they should not be believed , he had asked two gentlemen to accompany him ; they had done so , and were there to ( substantiate the statements furniBhed in the report .

      Mr . James Gbkem , one of the gentlemen alluded to , gave full oorroboration to Mr . Lee ' s statements . , The resolution was then put , and carried , without a dissentient voice . . Mr . James Rax ? hay , ia a speech of great talent , moved as followB : •—" That Great Britain ia possessed of elements calou lateel to secure the nation's greatness , and its people's happiness ; that notwithstanding these adwmtages , a vast amount of destitution exists : that thia destitution

      is not confined to any particular class or locality , painfully proving that disease pervades the whole body politic : thai while its . ravages ate appalling tb ~ stoutest hearts , and fearful forebodings and alarm prevail , confusion , wretchedness , and poverty-begotten crime , are left to riot in sooiety , without an effort being mads by the Government to check their progress ; this meeting unanimously resolve taat an . humble address be presented to tho Queen , praying her Majesty-to convene the two Houses of Parliam « nt without delay , in order that measures for the alleviation of the prevailing distress may be speedily adopted . " ¦ ¦

      Mr . Wm . Roberts , a teetotal advocate , in a few remarks , seconded the resolution . Mr . Jakes Hall read the memorial to her Majesty , founded on the resolutions , and moved its adoption . Mr . Wm . Cliffe seconded the motion . Mr . Henry Horn moved , and Mr . Wm . Chippendale seconded the next resolution . "That this meeting expresses its gratitude to Mr . Aldam , M . P ., by a vote of thanks , for the countenance which ! he has given by his presence to tbe proceedings of this evening . Likewise to Mr . Beckett , M . P ., for the courtesy , and kindness he has observed in bis

      eonimunicatioh with the Committee . " W . Aldam , jun ., Esq ., M . P ., returned thanks , and said that he came there to listen , not to speak . He was glad , boTvever , of the opportunity afforded to him of gathering the opinions , and of learning the condition of all classes , particularly of the operatives , who were the most numerous of his constituents ; He thanked them sincerely for the compliment they had conferred upon him . . Mr . William Vabby proposed the next resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Edward Sheldon , and was as follows : — *

      " The Committee being convinced of the important aid which they have derived from the weekly publication of the contributions , beg leave to submit that the thanks of this meeting are due to the Editors of the Northern Star and the Leeds Times , for their gratuitous kindness in giving publicity to the accounts . " Dr . Smiles returned thanks . The meeting was subsequently addressed by the Rev . T . Scales , J . G . Marshall , Esq ., and Mr . Darnton Lupton . Before the Chairman vacated the chair , a note wan handed to him , stating that Mr . Bayldon , road surveyor , was anxious to say a few words , and to present a subscription towards the relief of the most distressed . He was then introduced , and after a few brief remarks , presented to the Chairman £ 5 . He was greatly cheered . Thanks were then voted to the Chairman , and the meeting broke up .

      sustenance ; and comfort That on the 13 th of October h > r . wrp 8 owaf taken ( ropposed for burial ) but on its amvaVih , the Manor Chare , it was attempted to be taken into , the Surgeon ' s Hall , there situate for the pur > poses of diBsec ^ on ^ , but this the outraged feelings of the people would sot allow , and insisted that it should be taken to tbe nearest chnrch , All Saints , they loudly exclaiming " That ^ f they starved people to death they sh « uld not cut them up afterwards , " and although the police were there , It being close to the head Station House , yet to the church ahe was carried , and the worshipful and right worshipful the unpaid public peace preservers tame , and in order to gain time they ordered a Coroner ' s iBqnest to be held oh the ; body , and it was so-held , but they returned a verdiot " that the said Charlotte Smith died from natural causes . ''

      but they recommended that the body be interred / and it was so interred , with the prayers of a state priest , and in holy ground too ; in ground made holy and consecrated by an apostolical bishop wearing lawn tleevea and a mitre , and drawin *; tithes as a Levite from the whole land of Britain . Well done , Newcastle Char tisUts , that ' * the way to repeal WarburtOB's Anatomy BllL The great father of Reform say * , we , my Lords , must nutke the law respected , and the caaeof Charlotte Smith shows how the Newcastle Chartist * respect it 3 urrab for old Grey and the Whigs , but nine times nine for the Newcastle workles , male and female . Mr . William Scott then said , Mr . Chairman and fellow slaves , I beg leave most cordially to second the resolution that it be sent to the Star for insertion , at the same time 1 , have to say that I cordially agree with , the remarks made by Wm . Parker ; let our true opinions be known as widely as possible ; they will bear the most searching investigation , being founded on eternal truth .

      Mr . John Hall , 1 perfectly coincide with the sentiments uttered by tbe previous spkakera . We are blessed or cursed with a government calling itself Christian ,, but which ha * brought this country to a state by its unchristian enactments nearly bordering on anarchy : The landfall of plenty , the people perishing for wont of food , and it is my firm opinion that this country will never again see prosperity or Its Inhabitants know comfort until the People's Charter become the law of the land ; for that my exertions shall be unceasing , and I trust that no member or this meeting will ever be satisfied or ever cease agitating until the right of every man is confirmed to , act and vote in the choice of members to sit in the Commons House of Parliament , taxation without representation being tyranny aad nothing less . The Chairman then put the resolution , which was carried unanimously , and after a desultory conversation on other matters , the meeting dissolved . , . " .

      ABERDEEN . —The Chartist * here are aliHfe and activity , and the greatest enthusiasm prevail * .: o They are highly deuxhted at the idea of O'Connor remaining here on Saturday , tbe 30 th . . The Demonatratien Committee are getting on well with the preparation * for the procession , and since last week others of the trades have resslved to come out on that day . We have been contemplating the route FeargUB ought to take from Alloa . From Alloa he should go to Perth , proceed through Cnpar Angui , then to Fotfar , through the Valley of Strathmore , Brechin , Lawrencekirk , and Stonehaven , to Aberdeen . We think he should remain

      in Stonehaven on Thursday night , when he would be waited « a by a deputation from Aberdeen on Friday morning , who would escort him to Aberdeen , when they would be met at the Bridge of Dee , two miles off , by the prooission . By taking the road here pointed out , he would save himself a deal of trouble ; for , coming on tbe high road , he might return by the coast aide through Stonehaven , Bervie , Montrose , Arbroath , &c , to Dundee , thence through Fifesbire , on his road to England . Thus ha would have , as it were , a direct line to guide him ; he would not require to come on a bit and then have to turn back , but just keep on the straightforward course .

      Meeting . —On Monday last , the usual weekly meeting of the Charter Union was held , Mr . Archibald M'Donald In tha chair . Mr . Largue delivered « lecture on the evil effect * of war on the habits of a people , and the commerce , industry , and other resources of the country ; he was warmly applauded at intervala , and concluded with calling upon the people to exclaim , like the men of Israel , " What portion have we in the Royal House of Hanover , and what interest have We ia the landed aristocracy of Britain ?"' To your Political Unions , ye men of Britain S Rally round the Charter , and advocate it from the centre to tbe circumference of

      oar father-land , as the only ark of refuge for the ppressed millions . After , the lecture , the following resolution , relative to the forthcoming delegates' meeting at Glasgow , was moved by Mr . John Legge , " That the Aberdeen Charter Union consider the existence of an Executive Council in Glasgow as inefficient to the welfare of the great body of Chartist * in Scotland ; perhaps the remote situation of the districts might be the cause ; but , instead of one Executive , we propose that there should be an agitating body in Glasgow , one in Edinburgh , Dundee , Dumfries , Aberdeen , and other large towns . " The motion was carried unanimously , and the meeting broke ap .

      BRIGHTON . — -The quarterly meeting of the members ef tbe National Charter Association in Brighton , was held on Wednesday evening , Oct . 23 , 1841 , at their Meeting Room , Portland-street , Mr . Giles in the chair ; when the following statement and address of tbe Council was read , and unanimously approved of by the members : — , The Statement of the Council of the National Charter Association in Brighton ^ for the Quarter ending Sept . 29 th , 1841 . ¦ Gentlemen , —Since the laat occasion on which we officially addressed you , little has occurred of any importance to us as a political body .

      True it is , that the tide of events is never stopped or checked , and political matters are no exception to thia fact ; yet the experience of many years has taught us that a multitude of incidents may occur in the political world which affect but little the condition and prospects of the great mass of tbe people ; still , even daring the past quarter , events have taken place which highly interest every working man who is capable of reflecting seriously , and which may be the forerunner to other events affecting the interests of all working men . The events to -hich we allude are , first , the release of Mr . O'Connor ; and secondly , of Mr . O Brien , from their respective dungeons .

      Gentlemen , these are Sterling men , who nave suffered cruelly and extensively because they have dared unflinchingly to advocate the cause of the masses . These are master geniuses among the friends of liberty , and it is not , we think , asserting too much , when we say that the return of theae men to society may and will effect a great amount of good . Of our proceedings in Brighton we have but little to say , and really there 1 * some reason to anticipate that bye and bye we shall have bat little to do beyond look-Ing on , to see bow nobly our middle class friend * will carry out tbe object * we have in view . For , gentlemen , we cannot forget how democratic , how sympathising , and how generous these middle elass friends would fain show themselves , if we were not so confoundedlyperverse and headstrong as to doubt their integrity .

      But seriously speaking , we have lived to see that , at laat , Borne importance is considered due to the very ignorant , and the very vulgar working classes . We have lived to see that , despite the exertions of the great mass of the press to exterminate us as a party , that despite the immense and blasting influence of the middle classes , so perseveringly opposed to us , we have gained a firm position in the arena of political partizanship ; we have convinced a great number of our opponent * that , if political clanship ia to be the order of the day , our influence as a party is not to be despised . They may still , as they hate abundantly said already , that our Influence ia great only to effect mischief * . Let them still say this , we can understand whence this spirit of slanderous denunciation arises ; we know that It is the aagry voice of assailed private interest *

      Gentlemen , good mast ever prevail over evil , and the test of our character , a * political agitator * , wiU be found in our endurance of contumely and . wrong , and theultimate attainment of our object . , ¦ : If , Gentlemen , then did exist doubt * as to tbe growing spirit of Chartism , the recent elections have « hown beyond a doubt , that the * plrit and power amoag the working classes , which have been ao amply derided , are not now to be put dowa , and most nlttaatety oontnund a degree of respect , that ahall be tantamowt to th « actual postesaion of , » large dividend of that juaocat

      of political power which is legitimatoly doe to tha wofldng ^ if . ,, ; - ,-,- . ; :.- . , . v ' ; , v ; ,. - . .. . - .- ¦ . ;¦ That we have the power to do good has been abown in the result of our petitionon behalf of Holberry , and thl * reflection , if there were ao other reason , aboold prempt us to hold firmly and « bu » rely togetnar . ' ¦ Gentlemen , there is eveir encouragement held out to us for yet mere vigilantly watching over the tide of events , and yet more strenuoualy proaecuUng the great objectwehavein , yjew . . . ; > , - Have not tbi Wbigi been H » e tntlrUur enemies ef Chartism and of It * advocates ? and are they not sow
