Mr .

Mesars .

The past had been all theory ; they wanted " practical results . " Mr . Heaton said if they wanted to j »© the . practical results of the land and the Charter , ibpy most first get tbs Charter . Did they mean the land to get the Charter , or the Charter to get the Land ? He should submit the following resolution , as the guidance of their representative : he did not want them to come rashly to
any conclusion , [ unless they were convinced that it would finally reaound to the public good : — " That aa the Chartist agitation is foi the exprea ? purpose of emancipating the toil * worn , harassed millions , we can see no possible means of successfully alleviating their condition , as » body , upon the Land under the present syitem ; therefore , -we are of opinion that the Land ought to be kept in view only in contradistinction to the aboBes of the factory system and overstocked labour market ; and we are determined , on the port of our constituencies , to strictly aihere to the Charter , the whole Charter ^ and nothing less than the Charter . " Mr . Watson seconded it . A disensslon teen aoaued ,. in which alt the delegates took part Alter the discussion 2 nd lasted two hoars and a half , and a vast number of arguments bad been adduced , it was put to the vote and carried unanimously .
XLOCBSiULB—On Sunday last , the day being remaikably fine a camp meeting was held on BlacUstone Edge . Toe meeting of last year , at the tame place , was calculated at about 15 , 000 individuals : that of Sunday last was sot quite bo numerous , but it was a splendid , well-conducted , orderly meeting , cheering to the friends of liberty and dismaying to the abettors of corruption andmisml& Pipceedings were commenced by singing a Coartist hymn , ! after which Mr . J . ChaCwick congratulated the assembled thousands on the magnificent spectacle they presented . He also invited the gentlemen of the Manchester press , —who have lately made it convenient to attend ear camp meetings—to txke a seat baside the speakers , so that they might hear what was Bald , and thus be enabled to report more correctly than
most of them were in the habit of doing . This step would surely prevent their mistaking the remarks intended for the " police spies , " as designed for reporters . It waa easy for them to make saoh mistakes , as the language generally addressed to " spies" was applicable to all the hireling scribblers of s > venal press He concluded bis remarks by introducing Mt . Wheelwright , of Hebden Bridge , ; to the meeting , who ably exposed the venality , the cant , and the hypocrasy of the clergy , and the weakness of many of their deluded followers . Mr . Mills , of Whitworth , also addressed the meeting and gave the gentlemen of the Manchester press a severe rebuke for their misrepresenting what be bad said at the Hey wood camp meeting . Mr .
Wood , of Bochdale , gave the meeting an interesting account of his being turned out of the Wesleyan Society because he was not able to pay the subscrip tions requited ; justly remarking that it was not his soul's salvation but his pence that was cared for . He exhorted all " to come ont" from among snch ungodliness and hypocrisy . Mr . Doyle , of Manchester , in a mMterly address ] of more than an hours' duration , exposed the corruptions which sprung from that fruitful source of evil , class-legislation ; particularly instancing spyism . He also remarked on the jobbery and robbery ef those who lived * on the fruit of other men ' s labour 5
the injury the working classes had Battered by the misapplication of the profits arising from the employment of machinery ; contending that it was not the ignorance , bat the intelligence of the people that was dreaded by thaee who at present withheld from them political power . He concluded by noticing the " Rebecca "' movement , designating it , and the the anti-Corn Law more as paltry middle-class inventions for their own particular and ; selfish ends . He advised the Chartists to have nothing ; to do with either of them . After singing another patriotic hymn , the vast assembly peaceably separated , apparently bighly gratified with the proceedings . ;

IiEXTH . —At a meeting of the Leith Chartist Association , held on Thursday evening week , tha 10 th instant , called for the purpose of considering the forthcoming Conference , the following resolution was unanimously agreed to : —" That it lathe opinion of this meeting that m Conference is necessary at the present time for the purpose of forming an Organization for the whole kingdom ; [ and further we axe of opinion that in common justice , that Conference ought to be held in Scotland , as the Scotch people have always bsen at the expense of sending delegates to England , and we think that our English brethren ought not to refuse coming for once to Scotland , therefore we would propose that Edinburgh be the place of meeting , it being the most central and easy of access to our English friends ; and
we also propose that the Bald Conference take place on Monday the 18 th September . " The above resolution was agreed to , after a somewhat lengthened disenssion , into * course of which the following were among the arguments used in favour of the resolution . First , all the National Conventions , and Conferences have been held in England , ; which has been the cause of ruining , almost without exception , the funds of every locality in Scotland . Second , some of our English brethren Bay that the aid and assistance of the Scotch is necessary for the forming of a good , sound , and National Organization . We are aware that if the Conference be held in England , there will not at the utmost be above two or three places able to send delegates . Edinburgh and surrounding districts would not bo able to send even one ! delegate among them ; and it Ib
certainly of importance that Edinburgh should be represented in the forthcoming Conference . Third , the utility of holding the Conference in Scotland is almost self-evident . It would be the means of stimulating oar countrymen to make an effort to have themselves represented there ; for verily they are sick of sending delegates to England ; which has seldom hitherto been productive of much good ; aud we think it would also be the means of causing Englishmen to exert themselves to send delegates j to Scotland , which they have never yet dose . The reason why we suggest Edinburgh as tfee place of meeting is because it is the very Beat and iotbeti of Whiggery , and stands much in need of some sach excitement ; as would necessarily be produced where such a body are assembled : and thereby it would be the means of doing the cause in this quarter a great deal of good .

• ¦ J » iw , TO THE ENEMIES OF MONOPOLY IN EVERY FORM . FRIENDS , —We respectfully call your attention to a recent combination of a portion of the master typefounders ; ( notwithstanding all that has been done and said by these said masters to establish free-trade principles , which they sincerely admire in every business but their own , ) to monopolise the whole of the trade ; in order to this they havo made some considerable reduction to the printers in the price of materials , with an acknowledged view of driving certain masters from the market , when it is said they will restore them to their former prices , but aa that involves a sacrifice , they ( tha masters ) have informed their workmen they must have thei \ profits , and consequently submitted to us , on the first or July last , a list of prices , in which there was a reduction in the price of our labour of from ten
to twenty per cent ; to avoid a collision we yielded to the reduction , open which submission they have calculated upon the ease and safety ! of & BtiU farther redaction , and have submitted another list , varying from twenty-three to seventy five per eent Not being able to provide for our families with such a low remuneration for bur labour , we have reluctantly made a arm aod respectful resistance , but of no avail ; we are therefore' compelled to make aa appeal to the trades s&d public in general , for sympathy and support . As some of the proscribed masters have not reduced the wages of the workmen we shall in justice to them , ( with their permission , ) publish their names for public approbation , and we earnestly hope that all the friends of free-trade will givs us their support to destroy monopoly , and uphold those masters who give a remunerating price for the labour of their workmen .
