NOTTINGHAM GREAT ANTI-CORN LAW MEETING . - As soon as the sliding smle proposed by Sir R . Peei was known here great consternation prevailed amongst tlio repalers ; and immediately preparations commenced for holding a public meeting to express the opinions of the repealers respecting Sir B . Peel ' s Corn Law measure ; placards were posted thronghout the town and snrrounoiag Tillages , announcing a meeting la the Markvt-p ' . aie , on Monday , at two o ' clock . Every tiing was done in order to give effect to the mealing . ^ The manufacturers were requested to siop all their factories ; dissecting ministers used invectives to induce their flocks to swell the great demonstration , and in consequence of
these rast preparations , somo timid Chartists apprehended a defeat ia the e ^ ert of any interference on their part . A special meeting of the leading friends * a 3 summoned , and after manure delibera ^ tion it was agreed that a deputation should wait upon the Corn Law committee . of management , to ascertain their intentions , should the Crar ; isi leaders wish to address the meeting , or if they would be allowed on their platform . Mr . Barber and Mr . Fawkes had an interview with the committee , on Monday morning , by whom they vrc-re received in a eourtsous manner , though U was tvideat that they anticipated the Chartiits would move amendments :
they agreed to allow a p ] n ^ -3 on iheir hustings to Chartist leaders , and supplied the deputation w'tj twenty tickets of admission . Ths p ' a-Jbrm erected , was suSoien ; to hold a han-irea persons . . At a few minu ' . ' js before two o ' clock , Messr 3 . Bairstow , of Leic-esic-r ; Linney , of Manchester Dropshaw , of D ^ wsbury ; Hutchinson , of Newark- ; Harrison , Taylor , and RusAsil , &f Nottingham , proceeded from the Democratic Chapel , accompanied by the Council , and numerous other Cnarti ^ ti , into tbo Marie J-place , where many thousands were congre gated ; a complete line was readily made by the peopie ud to the platlorm .
A few minutes pasi t . fo , Lord Rancliffi , of Banny Park , ascended the hustings , and was unanimously appointed chairman . He addressed the meeting for about twenty minutes en the general distress throughout the country , laying considerable stress on the evil of corn sad provision laws , at the same time admitting that class legislation was at the root of the evil ; and caxliy declared hims--4 f as good a Chartist as aty person on th ~ i plaiforin ; at which & presty good ciieer was ral-sd . Ilia Lordship also said , that unless every speaker wa 3 allow ed a fair hearing he would vacate : hs cha ; r .
Mr . Blggb ibca . came iw > vurd : o propose ( he first resolution . He euicred into an . a-r-aiav . ut 3 . iiTe speech on the msn ; fo ' : d evils r . - Meh had resulted to the working class from the enactment of the abominable Corn L 3 W 2 , but acknowledged that cia ^ s legislation muss be abolished era we could havca cheap Governs-2 t . 1 st . "Tnas this meeting receives the proposed alterations in tie Corn laws , brought forward bj her Majesty ' s Gov ^ rnm-ait , wi ; h ihe utmost indignation and ecaienrjt . Th :-j conceive it to bs a cold and heart ; s 5 s soekery cf ihesuSVrhigs of the-people , proving that men who could offer so flagrant an insnlt to an on : ra ~ ed eonnrry , 3 re moralJy incapacitated to discharge the high functions of-leg : slaung for a great empire , aad entirely unworthy of public confidence ; " which was seconded by Sir . Gill , whose speech we ceia-i not hear , from the low touein which is was delivered .
Mr . Knight crime aorwaro . to propose the nest resolution , bu ; was received with such strong marks of disapprobation , thas we could cot gainer one word of his speech . It appears that this gentleman lias ever btcu a s : roug advocate of the Poor Law i Amendment Act , a ^ d on tsia account he was mst by \ the stubborn reproaches cf honest and virtuous men ; and women . Tiia resolution was : — \ 2 . " That this meeting is firmly of opinion , that ; with s government eczmitnted like the present , all i further petitioning would be vain , and only subject the petitioners to additional insult and mere aggravating injury , considers , therefore , that the salvat-qn ; of the country depends upon the energy and unity of the psopla ; and it pledges itself to a psrs-Tering ; agitation , nnin the iniquitous law is repealed .
This resc-lujion . was seconded by an ingenious , speech from Mr . Joseph Burbag ? , & talented work- ing man , a Chanist and a Corn Law repeak-r com- 1 bined . He has been at considerable pains of late i to persuade the acvocates of the whole Charter and ' the Corn Liw RpcaJers to amalgamate , no doubt i from qniie pure motives ; bni when wa sea men coatdnaaxly in tha company of Whig tools verily it is J ecessanly to act c : rcuraspec Jy . , ' The repealers intended proposing a third resole- j tion ; bnt , finding the Charriss ready with an ' amendment , they withdrew their ' s alidgetaer ; and \ Mr . J . B . Bairstow then advanced to the from of the platform , and was received with tremendous ap- j plause , which continued fur some seconds , when"he proposed the following as aa original resolution .:
—Resolved , " That this meeting 13 of opinion , that the Corn Laws were enacted by an irresponsible Government ; and that , were the ? repealed under existing eircumstances . there would be no guarantee that other equally cruel and oppressive laws should not be enacted . We , therefore , have no confidence in any agitation that has not for it 3 object the enactment of the six points of the document , called the People ' s Charier , which will imm-. diaie 3 y secure not only the repeal of the Corn Laws , but eicry other bad law . ^ The mere reading of the latter resolution literally electrified ihs meeting , and the cheers lasted some minutes . Mi . Baisstow then commenced his address to an assemblage of at least 20 , 000 , and wa 3 listened to for an honr with marked attention . At the
conclu-, Mr . Dea * Tatlob was repeatedly and londly called upoB . Hi cs . ni 3 forward amid loud cheering and waving of hands to second the resolution . He commenced bj observing that this day ho witnessed ¦ what he and others had long foretold , and what the Chartista generally had lon ^ expscted , namely , the Corn Law Repealers , professing themselves Chartista . This meeting wa 3 cilicd to shew the contempt they held towards what they termed the cold aad relentless conduct of Sir R . Peel . They might fiad fault with Sir Robert if they pleased , bu : be for one was perfectly satisfied with what he had done ; no doubt they were surprised , but he belveved Six Robert Peel had done right , and why !—simply
because the proposal 01 his nsw new sliding scaie had converted all the repealers to Chartism according to their own confessions , no : even excepting his Lordship who occupied the cbair . Sir Robert Peel had driven them to truth against their will , and he did not hesiwta in tajing that , if Sir Robert Peel had . brought forward a fixed duty , instead of a sliding scale , we should not have had the professions of Cnartism we have had to day . My Lord Rancliffa would not have been chairman , neither would that meeting have been called together ; thus then Sir Robert had done well . He ( Mr . T . ) only hoped that the gentlemen around him were sincere in their professions of jnstice , for he could assure them that whatever they may think either of a new sliding
scale , or a fixed daty , —that there was a something which must be altered and which would not be changed until the six points of the People ' s Charter became the law of the Laud , and rendered Government responsible to the people . How was it with the two thousand in Liverpool who went out every morning without breaklast ; theira was a practical sliding scale , for thej had to slide breakfast into dinner ; and when without dinner , both into tea ^ and when without tea , into tupper ; but when without snpper , breakfast , dinner , tea and supper were all Elided into the corner upon the pallet of atraw , and covered with an old coal sack . This was the gliding scale that wanted al ; eration , and nothing bnt the Charter would put the people in a position to remoYe h . He was a Cora Law Kepealer ; so were all Chartists , bnt it must be repealed by a People's Parliament : if the Corn Laws were repealed wuuld
that guarantee that we should have the Charter!—( loud eriea of No , no . ")—but if we had the Charter , we both could and would repeal the corn and all other tqoally in-Iqiitous Iaw 3 . They must this day Knew that they loved justice , full perfect justice , and sot suffer themselves to be led away by tne pompous or complete , or general suffrage . He would condad © by asking the Repealers if a separate agitation or concentration of publie opinion , mus j be raised for the removal of each bad law , how long would it require to repeal the whole of them , 14 , 600 in somber ! Venly , this was step by step : taking twenty years for the time of an agitation . It would require 230 , 000 years to reform the laws of this country , and then the Government wonld have the power to enact them orer again , or others equally bad . He concluded by exhorting the people to stand bj their Charter , and the redemption of their country aad of the world was sore .
Mr . "Liknet then rose to support the resolution He said that he knew that manj Corn Law repealers were followers of M<hns , and say the land is- not capable of maintaining the people ; and that the population has a constant tendency to increase beyond the means of subsistence ; though it is a fact sndeniable that daring the Jast eighty years the land that has been enclosed is 6 , 536 , 540 acres , sufficient of itself to grow food for the whole people of this country . Bat in this way we are oppressed on all sides , the parson robs us in the shape of tithes , the GoTernment in the shape of taxes , the landlord in tiie shape of xente , the shopkeeper in the shape of
profits , the bankers in the shape of rag money , the Blasters in the shape of low wages , and Mr . Moses , the broker and jobber , by speculation , each endea-Touring to have the power himself of defrauding you . The present is a struggle between landlords and BtaBofaetorers . Working men nnited , would , ere long , wield a power that would prevent either of the parties from act 3 of plunder and oppression . In conclusion , Mr . Linney strongly exhorted every Ckartist to go straight frcm that meeting peaceably to their homes ; the men of Nottingham tad regularly Nottinghamized the repealers that day , for not a Eicgls hand had been held np against the motion , which he felt so proud to ioppoTt , The meeting -was not » Cora Law

meeting , but in spite of themselves was converted into a splendid demonstration of Chartism , as a precursor to O'Connor's yisit , Mr . L . retired amid cheers and wavine of hands . The Chaibhan then came forward and returned thanks for-the rery able manner in which they had supported him that day , and then dismissed the meeting . Tae Corn Law repealers spent the evening in burning and shooting the effigy of Sir Robert Peel . Very different conduct to this was pursued iy the Chartists : as many as could gain admittance attended the Democratic Chapel , to hear addresses from Messrs Linney , Bairstow , and Taylor . Other parties retired , we are informed , to commence a Co-operative Store , at the Rancliffe Arms ; and other 3 to a , convivial meeting at theGeorge on Horseback ; the Corn Law repealers to ruminate on their future prosptcts of success .

SAI » FORD . —The Charter asd No Sukrendsb . ' — . During the week large placards have been posted in this place , cravening a public meet ng of the inhabitants , to take into consideration the proposed scheme of Sir Robert Peel on the Corn Laws . The meeting was called for six o ' clock , but long before that time hundreds were wending their way to the Town Hall from every part of the borough , -and hundreds had to go away , not being able to gain admission , it having got wind that the middle classes cf Siliord were about to jain the Chartists , and go at ouca fur the whole of the Charter / Shortly after six o ' clock the Boroughreeve was called to the chair , and cal-ed upon a middle-class matt to move the first resolution , condemning the schemo of Sir Robert , which was seconded by another of the same
class . After a short address from each , and when the Chairman was about to put it for the adoption of the meeting , Mr . Raskin , a Chartist , rose and statid tiiat he wished to more , an amendment ; on being permitted , he did so in an able , well-timed , and argumentative address , which produced a powerful impression on the minds of his hearers . Mr . Sixsmith seconded it in a calm , eloquent , and energetic speech , for which he received universal applause . The Chairman rose for the purpose of taking the sense of the meeting on the amendment and motion , but was prevented by the solicitation of two or three of his friends around him , who begged of the Chartists to withdraw it , aud give them the honour and privilege of having one which would go for every
point of the Charter , and thus mee * the wishes of and please both parties , ib unity was their motto The meeting however determined to rote for neither untii they properly understood what was about to be done . Vehement cries were made for the amendment from every part of the . rosm , which was at this time crammed to almost suffocation . In order to satisfy the aud : crce , Mr . Rankin said that as the gentlemen had intimated to him that they themselves had formed a resolution , which contained the point 3 . of tha Charter , he would withdraw the amendment , resolving to enforce it if their resolution did not please him . The motion was put and earned by a large majority . The Ccairman next inuoduced Mr . Dracup , who
on coming forward was greeted with loud cheering , and after making a sacrt , pithy , and sensible speech read and moved the following resolution , which was received , on the meeting hearing it read , with long , loud , and vociferous cheeis . Mr . D . said he was no new convert : he was well acquainted with Henry Hunt , who wished for Universal Suffrage and repeal of the Corn Laws . He himself believed that the Corn Laws nuver could be repealed without the poTrcr was given to the people . Seconded by Mr . Rauk . n , and carried unanimously , and the Chairman pledged himself that it should be embodied in the petition . ' * Resolved , that this meeting , having lost
all conSdence in the House of Commons as at present constituted , and claiuiiDg a guarantee for good government for the future , and feeling convinced that no tif . Ctual remedy will be applied till the powsr bs lodged in the people , do respectfully but firmly demand that the franchise be forthwith extended to every man who is twenty-one year 3 of age , of sound mind and unstained by crime , together with the priviiedge of voting by ballot and annual elections , tqnal electorial districts , the payment ., of members , and no property qualification . " Several other resolutions were carried , and some "very sirong speeches made , and the meeting broke up after thanking the chairman , highly gratified .
Public Meeting at Stockport . —Thk Charter Triumphant . —At-cording to announcement a public meeting , convened by the Mayor , was held in the Market Piacs , on Wednesday morning , the people being compelled to ac'joura thither from the Court Room , it consequence of tr-a ^ building , though very large , not being capable of containing half what had ass mbled . Two resolutions having been spoken to , and put to the meeting , and carried without the ltast dissent . The Rev . Mr . Baker came forward , and ia a powerful speech , which riveited the attention of his hearers , aud gave universal satisfaction , moved the following resolution , which , on being re 2 . d to ihc thousands assembled , was greeted with loud , rapturous , and long continued cheering , which
lasted for some time , followed by waving of hats and handkercnief ? , ana hurrahs : — That this meetiag having lost all confidence in the House of Commons , as at present coustiiuted , and claiming good Government for the future , and feeling convinced that no effectual remedy will be applied till the power be lodged in the people , do respectfully , but firmly demand that the franchise be forthwith extended to every man who is twenty-one years of age , of' sound Kind and unstained by crime , together with the pr . vilege of Voting by Ballot and Annnal Elections , Electoral Districts , the Payment of Members , and . No-property Qualification . " Mr . Clarke ia a humourous , sarcastic , and powerful address , seconded it . Messrs Griffin , Campbell , Social
missionary , Ro = tron , of Ratchfte , and the Birmingham Blacssmith ( Mr . John Hoekings , ) supported it in in manly , forcible , determined , and energetic speeches , and were listened to with marked attention ; several times giving three cheers for the Charter . On the motion being put , it was carried amid applause which rent the air . Several other resolutions were carried , which condemned the Corn Laws and other monopolies ; the best feeling prevaiied throughout the Jeagthy meeting . As the Mayor had to leave before the business was gone through , the Rev . Mr . Smith was elected to fill the chair . Mr . GnfSn moved a vote of thanks to both Chairmen , seconded by Mr . Mitchell , and carried by acclammation , and three cheers were then given for the Charttr , and the people dispersed .
BRADFORD . —Council Meeting . —On Monday evening iast , the leading friends held their usual meeting at the North Tavern , when the sum of £ 2 was vo ; ed to the Executive , and £ 1 to the Westriding treasurer ; it was also resolved that the local Iec : urer 3 get their credentials from their respective localities , previous to the making of the new plan , on Sunday evening next , without which their names will not be placed on the plan . The meeting then adjourned to Tuesday evening at eight o ' clock . Mr . Beilfield again brought some blacking which was paid for , aud Is . was given to the treasurer , being one-twelfth of his receipts to the Executive . A depnuuion of six persons was appointed to wait upon the Corn Law repealers , to make arrangements for the meeting on Tnursday , agreeable to their request .
Great Hortos . — On Shrove Taesday , the Chartists of this place sat down to an excellent tea in their school room , Upper Green , to the number of fifty . The room was tastefully decorated with evergreens and ornamented with portraits . Patriotic ttasts and sentiments were given and responded , to . A quadrille band was in attendance , whish greatly enlivened the crowded assembly . Songs , gleep , recitations , &c were kept up till midnight . Makningham . —Mr . Edwards lectured twice on Sunday lass . Daisy Hill . —The Chartists of this locality met on Sunday last , and Mr , Jennings , of Bradford addressed them . Stax . m > glet . —Mr . Flinn delivered two excellent lectures at this place last Sunday afternoon and evening , to a very numerous audience .
Dewsbuby . —Mr . Thomas Ibbotson , of Bradford , leciurea here on Wednesday , and gave much satisfaction . Many signatures were obtained to the Petition . HTJDDE&SFIELD . —Sigsal Defeat of the Whigs . —On Tuesday evening a most crowded meeiing was held in the Philosophical Hall , for the purpose of considering the Government measure relative to the Cora Laws . A requisition bearing three hundred signatures , bad bees presented to the constable , who complied with it , and fixed the day mentioned for the meeting at half-past biz . It being market day many stayed to be present , and the anti-Corn Law League Btrained every nerve to muster strong on the occasion . Bat their
quondam friends , the Chartists , were determined to "have a voice" in the meeting also , and they took the necessary steps for that purpose , knowing that the Whigs would , if possible , ride rough-eLod over them . Tney therefore sounded the alarm , calling upon their men to be at their posts in good time . The place was consequently crowded to excess , and hundreds could not gain admittance . Mr . Leach , the constable , was called to the chair , bat declined the honour , and therefore Wm . Brook , Esq ., was voted into the office , who . in his opening addres , gave a significant hint that they were net met to argue the question of the Corn Laws , it was
rather a time for action . He was followed by Mr . Schwann , who compared the sliding « cale to a gate with three padlocks ; by knocking off two only and leaving on one , it left the matter as bs . d as ever , and he therefore hoped they wonld / orc « the gate . Mr . Swan , auctioneer , next spoke , » nd made a sad blonder , from the effects of which he never recovored himself—saying , that they had wet to express their abhorrence of the measure proposed by Lord John Russell , but said he meant Sir Robert Peel . Some one in the meeting moved that they shonld not allow auctioneers to speak in their company . The first resolution in condemnation of Peel ' s measure vu carried almost unanimously . 'William

Willans , Esq . next addressed the meeting in a ^ Tery temperate speech of considerable length , and concluded by a motion for a petition to Parliament pledging the ineating never to desist from agitation until thr Corn Laws were repealed . He was followed by a man named Thornton , who declared that the C <> rn Laws prevented thousands from getting married ; aa observation which produced much laughter . Mr . Clayton , the Chartist , gave the Whigs a most severe oastigation and ably exposed their hollow pretences to humanity . He concluded by proposing an amendment in favour of ihe Charter , which was seconded by Mr . Candy . The Chairman then put the amendment , when there evidently appeared a majority of three to tiro in its favour . The Chairman and all his party were
aghast at the sight , they having imagined that the Chartists were with them . The Chairman called for a second show of hands , and it was clear the amendment had a majority of one-third over the original motion , nevertheless the impartial Chairman declared the original motion to be carried , though some of his own friends admitted that he was in error . After this Bpecimeh of fair dealing the Chartists would not allow another speaker to proceed , although two of the delegates to London had to epeak . Mr . Robinson , one of the delegates , was hooted down , and he immediately proposed a vote of thanks to tha Chairman . So ended the Huddersfield anti-Corn Law demonstration . ' —Bradford Herald .

BR . ADFOE . D . —Opposition to the New Poor Law , at Bradford . —The Bradford Anti-Poor Law Committee held their weekly meeting on Monday evening last , at the New Inn , Bradford , at which place it had been unanimously agreed before that a Petition should be got up from every township in the Bradford Union against the New Poor Law . The committee have to report that the petitions are going on most satisfactorily . A petition has also been got up by the ministers of religion . tEJ OS . —Mr ; Baines ' s Popularity . —At a large meeting of the inhabitants of Leeds , holden in the Court House , which was crammed to suffocation , on Thursday last , Mr . Edward Baines , a proprietor and senior editor of the Leeds Mercury , ex-M . P .
for tho borough , and a _ worehipful Whig-justice , had one of the most mortifying testimonies of public estimation that we ever heard of falling to the lot of any man . This man , so long and so well known , was proposed and seconded as chairman of this crowded meeting of his townsman . No rival candidate was started—no amendment was proposed upon the resolution—but the question simply put to the meeting by his own friends , "That Edward Baines , Esq ., was a fit and proper person to preside over tuia meeting , " was negatived by a majority of at least ' three-fourths of the . whole meeting !! We never before heard of any man being placed in 60 humiliating a position . Poor Mr . Baines ! we really pity him ; ar d hope that , though the pill be a bitter one , its effect will be salutary .
BRIGHTON . —A public meeting of the trades of Brighton was held on Thursday evening , February 10 : h , at the Bricklayer ' s Arms Inn , North-street , for the purpose of devising the best means of assisting the masons on strike in London and Woolwich , Mr . 1 . Scott , cordwainer , in the chair . The ohairnian addressed a few preliminary observations to the meeting , regretiing that the oseetiug was called on tho same evening as the visit of her Majesty to Brighton , which had doubtless prevented many from attending . Mr . Matthews , oorciwainer , proposed the first resolution . Mr . Matthews then read the foliewing resolution : — "That , in tho opinion of this meeting , the manly and moral courage exhibited by the marons on strike at tho New Houses of
Parliament , Nflsou ' s Monument , and at the Woolwich Dockyard , in resisting the repeated tyrannies of George Allen , the foreman at the Houses of Parliament , deserves our utmost praise , and the support of every man desirous of preserving a general union of the working classes . " Mr . Matthews , at some length , and in a fiue manner , supported the resolution , showing the necessity of trado's unions , and also the necessity of every woiking man joining a Chartist association . If , said ke , tha contractor ? , Grissell and Peto , had struck against the men , would the Government have given their support to tne men , as in the present instance they had done to their employers , in the most barefaced mauner allowing the contract to be suspended , and giving
grants of the public funds to carry on their tyrannical opposition against the masons ! It had been reported , according to Dr . M'Douall ' s statement , at the White Conduit meeting , that the Queen had presented Grissell and Peto £ 500 for the loss they had sustained . He urged on them to continue united and firm in their support to the masons , and thus they would ultimately succeed in the attainment of their objects . Mr . Matthews concluded an excellent address , and sat down loudly applauded . Mr . Woodward , news agent , seconded the resolution . Mr . Giles , carpenter , in proposing the second resolution felt no doubt but that they would pass it . The quarrymen were entitled to the best thanks of this meeting , and it was rather unfortunate that the
Government lent their influence to Grissell and Peto ; but he hoped they were all of his mind of upholding these men to the last , thongh he was well convinced that until the working classes had the power of sending their own men into the House of Commons , no permanent benefit would accrue to them . It was for the want of political power that the Dorchester Labourers and the Glasgow Cotton Spinners were transported ; if they had a fair representation in the Commons , those men would never have been transported ; still he would support these men , and ho would Jeava the following resolution in their hands . Mr . Giles then resumed hi 3 seat by proposing , " That in the opinion of this meeting , the bola and decisive conduct adopted by tho quarrymen
in refusing to prepare stone for Grissell and Peto , untii a full measure of justice has been conceded to tho injured masons , whom to Eupport in their juat and honourable strike , havo sacrificed their employment , are pre-eminently entitled to our cordial thanks and sympathies , and whose conduct urges u ( 8 on to renewed exertions , which , ere long , we trust will end in the complete triumph of the sons of industry . " The resolution was seconded by Mr . Ja ? . Parker , plasterer , and briifly supported by ' Mi , John Scrase , mason , and Mr . Trower , carpenter . The Chairman put the resolution which was adopted . Mr . John Allen , carpenter , proposed the following resolution : — " That in the opinion of this meeting the partial , unjust , and tyrannical conduct of the
Commissioners of Woods and Forests , and the Board of Admiralty , in continually tendering assistance to Grisseil and Peto against the cruelly persecuted masons now en strike , clearly proves that the Government , and those connected with them , ara determined by every effort in their power to crush and put down any unionfof the working classes ; it is therefore necessary that extensively organised associations should exist amongst them for their mutual protection against the combined efforts of those who live upon their industry . " Mr . Flower , shipwright , seconded the resolution . The resolution was carried . Mr . Hcmmings , mason , proposed the following resolution : — " That this meeting do immediately and collectively declare its determination to
assist tti 6 masons » o long as the strike may continue , and that the following gentlemen do form a committee to carry out the said object , viz : —Messrs . J . Allen , Benjamin King , T . O . Lambort , William Bannister , John Rook , Thomas Gibbs , N . Morling , John Matthews , William White , Edward Hammings , James Parker , W . Penfold , Wm . Woodward , Geo . Giles , Jeremiah Herbert , and Henry Trueman , with power to add to their number . " Mr . Scraso , a mason , seconded the resolution . The Chairman put the resolution proposed by Mr . Hemmings , and it was unanimously carried . A vote of thanks was presented to the Chairman for his able conduct in the chair , and the meeting then gave three hearty loud cheers for the People ' s Charter , and three cheers for the success of the masons .

THE LAST BID OF THE AUCTION . Let the people turn over the Not them Star , and the speeches of Fkabgus O'Cohmor , and tell us how long it is since we and he put them up to auction with the reserved bid of Univer . al Suffrage , assuring them that if they were but careful to maintain that reserved bid , and not lower the value of the commodity to meet the importunity of greedy customers , there would soon be enough of competition for them at that price ; let them recollect how often we have repeated
this statement within the last five years ; how distinctly we told them at the late general election , ( when our pro -Tory policy" was so severely denounced by a few short-sighted Chartists ) that the Whigs once driven from the meBs-pot , with no hope of a return but through the people , would give any price to get the people ; and then let them tarn to the events and circumstances of the past week , and give ua what credit they please for understanding and honestly pointing out to them their true position .
In London , in Manchester , in Salford , ia otockport , in Bradford , in Nottingham , and in many other places " too numerous to mention , " the chopfallen WbigB , seeing their old enemies Becurely fortified in faction ' s citadel , have already sounded tht tocsin of the Charter : the whole hog , bristles , snout , and all , has been gulped . Sundry queer contortions , wry , mouths , and foul faces have been made about it , but the pill has been swallowed , distasteful as it was . The more honest and simple , the mere conscientious , Corn Law Repealers , hate

discovered , with ; Mr . FoBBES , of Bradford , that if they had the Repeal of the born Laws tomorrow , it is worthless without Universal Suffrage . They affect , at least , 'to ; have made this discovery ; and if they be ¦ honest in their professions of their newly-adopted creed , they will not hesitate to acknowledge how much they are behind the people in intelligence ; what dolts they are—what dunces in the school of political and social science—to "have only learned that now which the people have been dinning initheir ears so many years . Honesty is always
attended by humility ; iahd if these men be now honest in their attachment to the principles of liberty { they will seat themSGlyes before their schoolmasters , and not presume id lead those who have so long and bo far led them in the march of intellect . None can hail with ; greater satisfaction than we do the appearance of any appproxiniation to a cordial union , upon principles of justice , between tho middle and the working classes of society . We like the frank acknowledgment of Mr . Forbes , and of the Rev .
Mr . Spencer , and of some other higher and middle class men , that those classes have been guilty of injustice to their poorer brethren ; and ^ we know tho working classes well . . . enough ¦¦¦' ¦ -. to know that resentment dwells not with them , and that as a class they are strangers to yindictivensss ; that they are quite ready to forget past wrongs , and to join their late oppressors in a common /¦¦ struggle for redress of grievances . We know this to , be their character , and wo rejoice in it . But they must be guarded : ' once
bitten , twice shy . " They were duped , grossly duped , shamefully betrayed , and basely soldj in the matter of the Reform Bill agitation ; let them Bed to it that the second act of the same play be not now gone through . We confess that we have little confidence in these late and evidently reluctant converts to the principles of justice . We have watched their movements long , and . 'we watch them now , with no slight intensity . / We bid the people to beware ; they ar « like pigs with soaped tails—it is very difficult to
hold them , or to guide them . That they niay bo made to work for the Charter is evident ^ -that they will throw it overboard if possible is not less evident they muBt be watched , and carefully . We tell the people plainly they must use theim ; but not trust them . They must not bo suffered to busy themselves in the unsettling of tlafc which they have just begun to look at , but which their \ schoolmasters have becu studying for years * It is not for little boys to make lossons , but to learn thorn ; and yet these new-born Chartists are not a few of
them very wishful to be tinkering already ; to be chopping off the limbs and notches , and polishing and oiling the surface of the Charter , go that it may the more easily slip through .-their handa . This wont do ; the people must remember that the " bid" of Universal Suffrage ia imperfect unless accompanied by such details ; as make it perfect ; that it is fraudulent if so given as to afford the "bidders " the opportunity of at all reducing its full Value . This they aay do—this they will do—if each point of the wholo Charter be not broadly
and rigorously stuck to * The Sturge cry of "Complete Suffrage "; the League cry of " Suffrage for every male of twciity-ohe years of age "; every "bid , " leaving out a single point of the whole Charter , must be scouted . The offer to connect the Charter , and Repeal agitations must be entertained with great caution , if entertained it all . Our opinion is decidedly that the Chartists ought not to entertain it ; that they ought to insist upon the Charter , and tho Charter only , as the preliminary to all other measures . The Corn Law
Repealers / now tell us that they have lost all hope from the present House of Commons , or from any House constituted by the present Suffrage . If this be true , why continue the present Corn Law agitation ? Why not devote their whole energies at once and undividedly to that preliminary measure which they admit to be indispenBible to tho carrying of repeal ? They have resisted every effort for the Suffrage until now ; they have tried every artifice—used every meansto induce the people to give up the Suffrage
movement for the Repeal cry . They could not succeed ; they could not get the people with them ; they tried their own power on the Govefnmont and tho Parliament without the 1 . ' -people ; they failed ; they tried again ; they have again failed ¦; , they now profess to have no hope from Parliament , as now constituted , and to be anxious to see the whole people invested with the Suffrage , that a Parliament may come into existence which will comply with thoir . desires . We don't believe them . This may as we hare said before , be the real mind of the
very few among ; them who are 6 imple and conscientious ; but tho League , the leaders , and the millionaires , have far different objectp . They have not / given up all hope from Parliament as now constituted ; they f till hope . aud they still purpose to attain their object . But they feel that they cannot do it of themselves ; they feel that they must have the people with them ; they know that the people will not go with them for mere Corn Lav ? repeal ; that they are wedded to the Suffrage question—the question of all questions
because involving all rights;—and they hopetherefore , by this blending of the two agitations into one , to avail themselves of tho whole power of the whole people . We bid the people mind that it is not at public meetings whore the work is to be done : it is not in resolutions , and petitions , and memorials , to do more than express the people's mind ; all the rest mast be done , if done peacefully and bloodlessly , in Parliament ; and it will be for the Parliamentary Brigade of tho Corn Law Repealing Whics to bring into exercise ,, and to give
direction to the power of the weapons which they can persuade the people to put into their hands . They have hitherto been able to do nothing for want of weapons ; they have not had the expression of the people ' s will to back them ; their petitions were few , and full of forged signatures , and this was known in Parliament ; public meetings they could not , and dare not , hold , because the people were not with them ; and this was known in Parliament ; and hence they had no power there . If they can now succeed in getting the whole people to go with them for a joint agitation for a Repeal of the
Corn Laws and the ( . harter , taking care as wo perceive they have done at Salford , Bradford , and some other places ; to tack the Charter to the main objects of the meeting only when compelled , making " Repeal" still prominent and principal , they will instruct their tools in Parliament to sink the Charter and to push Repeal . The people ' s majesty will be invoked in all its might , and pointed to in all its terrors . ; the unanimous voioe of the millions , thundering through the air , making the valleys to ring 'and the mountains to echo , will bo re-echoed in St / Stephen ' s for the , ftlPIAL OF THIS ;^ 0 £ Lj i ^ 0 The " Strong Government " and tha aristocracy are not fools ; they will see through the trick ; they will understand all about it ; they will protest against this unfair use of the Charter agitation ; but they will see that they are in "» nx "; that there ; ia n ^ w no eyiting the thiDg ; that the people have been roused , and must be quieted ; that tomething must be done ; that one of these two measures , or both of them , must Wpassed ; and however little they may like the Repeal of the Corn Laws , they will not long hesitateia choosing between that and the Charter * Aristocratic rule , and privilege , and spoliation , did exist and flourish , long before the present Corn Laws came into existence , and may de so after their repeal ; but with a Charter constitution they could not

exist at & »• . '• So would the aristocra ' cy and the ' strong Gbvi&v ' nInen'" reason on- ' . . the ; matter , and so reasoning the > won ^ F ^ * yi'tue of necessity and Repeal the Corit taws , ^ ile our new friends the Whigs , would * Wd . back to the people and say !! Welliyiiu see what ttjej-h ^ ve done ; these rascally Tories , this plundering aristoo / acy ; won't give iip their plunder ; they wouldn ' t give ns both ; however thank God , we have got the one jgreat thihR ; we have got the Corn Laws repealed ^ and that will give us another 'Extension / and inora occupation for machinery , and more necessity for the
increase of inanimate productive power . To be surfi it will greatly lower wages , and greatly raise taxes , has then it will give us more foreign trade , and t hat is the best thiDg we can have . " &ich we believe to be the first object aimed at by the League in / -. this new move for the Suffrage in connexien with Corn Law Repeal . If they should fail to aceomplish this object , and if another application tp Parliament , backed by the power of the people , thus surreptiously obtained , should be " alike unsuccessful with their former applications , lacking that snpp ' ort ., they will then apply themselves in right earnest to
the procuriDg of a large extension of the franchise in order that they may be thusenabled by the people to send men who will do their bidding . They will stick , however , to the Suffrage question Only , independent of what they choose to call the " minor details" of the Charter . This will enable them—the Property Qualification and the Seven Years' Parliaments being still continued—to send , even with Universal Suffrage , men from their own prderinto the House of Commons , who will take precious good care so to fortify the wkole tribe of . locusts with enactments as that the people shall derive but precious little benefit from thereform . We should
dread a Para ament elected by Universal Saffrage , but re ' aining still the property qualification and forbidding its members to receive payment not a whit less than tho present one , and much more than the worst of the old Boroughinongoriug Parliaments . Whence are the working people to obtain honest representatives of counties with £ 500 a-year , and of Boroughs with £ 300 a-year in properiy ? -The -idea i 3 ridiculoua ; and none know it better than the new-made ' extension of commerce" converts to " complete suffrage , " who boggle ; about the other " details" of the Charter . "¦ : ;• : ¦; - ' : " - ¦ '
Let the people commit no mistake . We are determined , at all events , that if they do bo it shall not b 9 without warning . Corn Law Repeal and the Charter cannot both be carried . If both be attempted they will be either both lost or the Repeal will be carried and the Charter thrown overboard . Let the per pie think upon that ; We warn them . If they permit themselves to . be sold , the fault lies not with us;—pur duty is perfprmed . We repeat that if the Corn Law Ropealers be sincere in their avowala of" no hope from a Parliament constituted like the present one , " and if they be sincere in their acciaptance of the Charter as the only means to Corn Law ReDeal , they will at once lay by ' the Repeal agitation , andconcentrate
their whole energies to aid tho people till the Charter Bhatt be carried . If they omit to do this , they furnish the best evidence that their only purpose is to use the people for their own erids , and then to oast off and trample oa them . Let the people , then , see to it , that at least and at all events , if these coalition meetings must go On , the Chatter take its own place , as first , priniary and principal object of attention , and not as a mere rider tacked on to the tail of Repeal . We tell tkem that if they do not do this , they will be sold ; that they will have sold themselves ; that they will therefore have no right to complain , ; aud that we at all events shall have neither pity nor sympathy for them . .
