      • THE SOrRKR . Ibis was Mother of their social feasts , « t which the leading Chartists showed' the strength of ^ onr oase . It . was held in the Free Mason * ' Hal ] , iiyj kr ^ est building that eeuld be procured , and was crowded to suSdeariou .. Mr . Smith , from Ayr , ipoke to the toast of " The People , " in a sound and exeelleBt speech , and Mr . Gardiner , from Glasgow ,

      responded to the Charier in terms to which my pen onnot do Justice . I followed , and spoke at considerable length , entering apoa these Beveral subjects Irtish . a » locally aad generally interesting to our oast , and if I stay judge from effdc ^ and I am fcippj to . ieam that the result of " my "risit is likely to be increased onion among oar mks .

      Ok Tkareday I went to Irnne ; the day was propitious , and we had a glorious tarn out 1 not a little swatted bj the . patriotic bands who marched frost SaitfnatH ) SUwvmisg , aad the surcondkg rDIages . At one e ' elock we marched in proad processioa , with bands playing and banners fijinj , t * a ceaunodioos hostinge , rery approjsaidj erected * between a pxr&on ' s house and Ms ebiich , in a field belonging to the pafcri otie John Bruce . As soon as the eh airman was

      appoinied , he presented me with an address , to which I replied at considsrible length , and which seemed to give satisfaction . The usual reoktioEs for a Rational Petition , and in support of ik Charter , were very ably proposed and seeonded ; the first by two working men from Irvine , and the kster ia admirable speeches bj two working men fros Saltcoats ; after which a Tote of thanks to the C&rmia was carried , when we returned in proteesm to the King ' s Arms Hotel , where a somber rfoir friends sat down to aa excellent pablic dinner .

      Is the evening , we had a soiree in the ehnrch , which wu literally crammed in eTery place . At this soiree I had the good fortune to hear from a working man , of the name of M'Allister , one of the ablest speeches I hire eTer heard delivered on the Charter . A separate report of these several meetings would fill two lifiets , and therefore I am compelled thus to eondense tbm ; bnt there was one passage among the * auj £ » d « nes in his speech , which mnst not be be-Sered . In speaking of the instalnient system , he said , "if oy instalments for the next ten years are " to be eqiHnient to Ey instalments for the first ten years et re&rm , then at the expiration o * tiie twenty yeas , I dan hare paid eff all ia this ponnd of

To this address also I replied , as well as to the following address from » 8 Chariist eoil miners of Doara and Sonrlie , and Jfoh wa rendered more valuable from the fact of "Be psrties never before having taken any part 1 » i € T » ia my political movement .

      correct report of the proceedings , I need say but iitOe of the subject here , farther than this , that in destroying the proposer and eonboetor of the cetebrsted Calton Hill reeolutions , I asfcri t wfthoni fear of oontradiction , that I have nipped in iixe bud a conspiracy which was intended onoo more to place whiggery in the ascendant , by causing disunion in the Chartist ranks . Of this discussion I need say bat little , as men from aS parts of Scotland were present at it , and they will doubtless carry the results to their several loealities . . ^ £ r . Brewster isa clergyman of the Established ehnrcb , who ftr some

      yean has been pursuing a most suspicions and erratic course . We find him now a Chartist and a delegate to the League—to-day a Universal Su&age man—to-morrow a Household SoSrtge Chartist . He declaims against physical force , while be recommends practising with a rifle . He is a Btiokler for moral power , whiie he bxjpee tognll bis audience with the delosire hope , that under the flimsy garb of » resolution he can also elude the searching eye . of the law . . He preaches union , while above all other men in Scotlaadhe faneats dia »« sion and strife . He haa the

      name of beingrflie most powerful speaker , reaaoner and debater . In Scotland ; bat for Scotland ' s , sake ' as indeed I may say sueh is the fact , I trust this is aa error . I had hoped for something like an opponent and a debate , and , as discussion is the very main-spring of the popular cause , I had hoped that from our ' s some benefit Would arise ; but , alas 1 how miserabiy was I and the thousands who surrounded oa disappointed ; I never had so weak an opponent Mr « great a triumph .

      the spot . : At th » oonolusion , eighteen of the ' ? bonnie lassies" came forward to form an Association , and enrol themselves under the banner of freedom . We sinoerely wish them every suooees ia their undertaking , and hope that the lively enthusiasm which pervaded them on this occasion will continue unabated , and that they will go oa increasing in numbers , cheering us on ia the good cause , and animating us by their example , shewing , by their utter detestation of all that is despicable and tyrannical , their determination to assert their own rights , and obtain that standing in society to which they are bo justly entitled .

      Mbetiito . —On Monday night , the usual weekly meeting of the Aberdeen Charter Union was held , Mr . M'Donald in the chair . After the minutes of the previous meeting had been read and . confirmed , at this point of tne proceedinga Mr . M'Pfeerson entered , and was greeted with enthusiastic cheering . After it had subsided , the minutes of the Demonstration Committee , describing the route of the procession through the town , were also read and approved of . Messrs . M'Donald and M'Pherson were appointed to meet O'Connor at Stonehaven . The iddre ' ss to be presented to O'Connor was read and approved of . After a great deal of business had been gone through , the meeting broke up , highly pleased ivith the night's proceadinga . The maRistrates of our good city are taking every means in

      their power to make our procession a failure . Tney have issued circulars to the various mill-owners , requesting them not to allow their workmeu to attend tho demonstration , for fear of—what think yon 1—why , for fear of . » riot taking place ! Wo promise that there Shall no riot occur : the Chartists of Aberdeen have had many meetings , but we never yet saw a riot take place . The hammer-men went to them , ro get the coat of mail which was worn by Provost Davidson at the Battlo of Harlaw , it being customary for them to get it on such occasions as the present ; but they were told that it would not be given on this occasion . So they told the Provost that the next time he wanted them to go in proceasion for his and his party ' s pleascre , he might wear tho coat of mail himself .

      STRATHAVEN . —Our Demonstration on the 16 th in honour of the uncaged l ion" is another decided proof that Chartism is not dead . Tha men of Avondale during tho last week , have been indefatigable iu their labours , ia forwarding arrangements , to give a reception worthy of their illustrious visitor , indeed Whig , Tory « and Chartiet contributed their mite , and vied with each other , in making every preparation necessary . Sinoo the commencement of the present agitation , our peaceful town has been the scene of Tory , defeat in their , impolitic attempt to extend the bounds aad increase the temporalities of their Zion . The Whigs experienced a Bimilar treatment iu attempting to force on U 3 their big loaf , consequently , Chartists have been in possession of

      sovereigu power in otrayen during the last two years . The conduct of the vanquished on this occasion , must be attributable to the moderation displayed by us , their conquerors , and the immutability of our principles . At twelve o ' clock , the committee of the Universal Suffrage Association left the large hull of the Buck ' s Head Inn , and paraded the streets , proceeded by thrco bauds of musio , and a number of beautiful banners , with every appropriate inscription ; oil one carried in front were the words "Welcome from thy living grave , brave , bold O'Connor . " The committee on beicg joined by their townsmen , proceeded to meet the patriot on the Hamilton-road . On tho appearance of the carriage in which eat Mr . O'Connor aud our worthy

      president , Mr . Giffin , ( who had gone to Hamilton in the morning , ) the band struck up " Seethe conquering hero comes . " The procession returned to the town , when Mr . O'Connor addressed the largest meeting ever assembled here , from hustings erected in the Common Green ; our number at this time could not be less than 6 , 000 . It was unanimously agreed that we again petition for the Charter , and a vote of confidence in O'Connor and the Northern Star being passed , the meeting retired in the most orderly mann vr . A public meeting was "h eld in the evening in the West Relief Church , when an address was read

      and presented to Mr . O'Connor , after which , he epoke at great length on the past , present , and future prospects ot the Chartist movement . At both meetings the addresses were , received with deafening bursts of applause , and we fearlessly assert that a universal feeling of approbation was evinced by all classes present . Some who formerly denounced us as "leveller ? , destructives , and torch and dagger ' men , " have expressed their conviction , that philosophy alone has been tho characteristic of O'Connor ' s career , and that the principles of Chartism will ultimately triumph , based as they are , on the rock of truth and justice— Correspondent ,

Lowery , who gave buch a swinging address on the means of obtaining the Charter , and the good it will do the people , as will not be soon forgot by the folks of Peebles .

A great number of the English Chariist Circular , ' ! containing the People ' s Charter , was distributed at the close of the meeting .

      DUBUN .- ^— -Gteat seusatiou has been created here this week in oonsequepoa of Mr . Sharman &awfoni ' 8 admirable letters . They have spread dismay and consternation amdngBt' the . Repealers ; NotbiB ^ f covili h » r <}; heen better timed than tfeaw letters ; and it is to be hoped they will have tha iatended effect , and open the eyea of the poor , deluded , and starring people of Ireland before the next . tribute day . My dear Ray , and others of the hungry dependents of Mr . O'Connell , are already foreboding the disgrace that ia about to ' lower , like a cloud of

      oust , upon the head of the greatdewder j and their own wrotohed coadition , which must inevitably follow : for no man could read these letters and not ba convinced that Mr . O'Connell ' s agitation fox Repeal is but atoure delusion to get money . Greai annoyance has been given to the members of the Irish Unive * sal Suffrage Association , at their last two meetings , by some of what Mr . O'Coonoll is pleased to call the " yoong blood of Ireland , " who are , no doubt , in the pay of the prop ^ gatois of the great delusion . \ . ¦ .. ; . " .. ¦ ,

      The Iri $ h Universal Suffrage Association met , on Sunday , at their great room . 14 , North Annstreet , Mr . Rafter in the chair . Oa theminotes of the last meeting beitig read . Mr . Atkinson rose and said that , aa every possible channel by which the people of Ireland could obtatu teal information as to their real condition , which he described as pitiable , was shut ap , he hoped the meeting would have no objections -to hear the letters of that truly patriotic philanthropist a&d Irishman , Sharman Crawford , read . ( Chaers . ) Mr . Woodward rose and said , that he would not be doing justice to the great cause of universal freedom if he did not coincide with Mr . Atkineen on the propriety of reading the letters referred to . Mr . Woodward concluded

      by moving that the Secretary do read the letters ot Shar / nan Crawford , Esq . This was seconded by ' the whole meeting calling out read , read . Here the Secretary began to read the letters in a very audible toae of voice . - He , however , had not proceeded far , when one of the young bloods , ot Ireland " interrupted him-by stating , that Sharmaa Crawford was an anti-Repealer , and that the reading of his letters went far to prove that the Irish Universal Suffrage Association was also opposed to that measure . The Chairman here said that if the speaker had read the objects of the ' Association he would not Bay that they were opposed to that measure . Mr . Doyle rose and eaid , Mr ; Chairman aud feliowconntrymen , lam not amember of the Irish

      Universal Suffrage Association . I am . an O'Connellite . I was one , ! believe , ia the womb of my mother . I come here to-day to ba oonvineed if I am in error in folloning the dictates of Mr . O'Conuell , and fxom what I heard from the advocates of the Charter , I have reason to "believe , that they at least hare : troth oa their side . I look upon the opposition which has been given here to-day , to have arisen from ignorance , and from the parties coming here prepossessed against reason . He concluded with a very sensible aua well-timed reproof to the disturbers of the meeting , and protested in very strong terms against suoh conduct . Mr . Freebairn rcce and passed some very trite observations on the conductof Mr . O'Connell , both in and out ofParliamoni ; . He

      charged Mr . O'Connell with receiving money for voting against the poor factory children—with supporting the Whigs and the Poor Law Amendment Act , and a host of other actions , which Mr . Freebau-n said were not compatible with tho character of a patriot or a statesman . Here some of the O'Connell paid party said that the meeting was in opposition to Mr . O'Connell , and that no true Repealer ought to listen to suoh language , nor attend any torch and dagger meeting . Mr . Duggan here said that tho Chartists had over aud over again denied being physical-force men , yet Mr . O'Connell and his party would still impute it to them ' , -It reminded him of Parson Gregg aud the Catholics t Gregg charged the Catholics with being worshippers

      of images and relics ; they denied it , jet ho still said it was true . He put ib to the meeting if the two cases were not similar . He was answered by cheers * Mr . Dyot , letter-press printer , rose and said that he yielded to no man in his admiration of Mr . O'Connell ' s elcquence and transcendant abilities , bnt was he to give up the * gift of the . Almi ^ ty ( hb . reasoa ) to Mr . O'Connell ; was he to allow him or any other mantothipk for him ! Then indeed might he be ranked amongst the meanest of slaves * and he waa sorry to Eay that many of his countrymen had so far forgotten their dignity as to resign ono portion of their thinking faculties to Mr . O'Cpnaell i believing that he could do all in time that to necessary to be done to redeem them from their

      present political thraldom . This , said . Mr . Dyot , is the miserable , degraded state to which Irishmen have reduced themselves by passive cbedieuce to the mandates of Mr . O'Connell ; and I am sure < s&id he ) I need not look for a stronger proof of this than that which has presented ituelt' to this meeting . Yon fi-yyou are Chartists . Why , then , do you not urge Mr . O'Conaell to join the Chartists of England , and thereby gain additional agitators for ihe Repeal of the Legislative Unioa ? Tiie hot is , the Ch&rtiata of England are a shrewd , intelligent race of mea , who prefer keeping their own money to that of giving it into the hands of any speculating deluder . They keep their own money ; they agitate for Iheir

      individual and country's good ; and with the assistauee of the most liberal and iudepeadeut newspaper that ever England produced , tng Northern Star , they are working their aud our political redemption * ana shaking to the foundation the fabrics of tyranny and corruption . Mr . Dyot gave aaadinkable exposition ofthe poiuts of the Charter , aad he was much cheered throughout his address , The meeting was further addressed by Messrs , Atkinson , Duno Wood , O'Higgins , Dillon , and O'Connell ( not Dan ) - whea (!* Ir . Atfeiason was oalled to the chair , and thaaka given to the Chairman , when the ^ mee ting -was arijourned . until one o ' clock on Sunday next < to-motrow ) .
