3 Jt Bbab Psnaos . —I now proceed ivilh ay narrative . ¦ . Dbsdss . —Oa Tuesday "Mr . Duncombe anJd I arrived at Dundee , abun four o'do& . " , There was a Tery splendid Soiree in the . Ingest chapel that could be procured ; asd when -Mr .

when Mr . Dnueombe madebiaappearance , be was loudly cheered ; and after a Tery long and eloquent review of Mb Parliamentary eotdncri , and an avow&l of the principles of Chartism , name and all , be resumed his seat amidst several rounds of applause , and "irariBg of iata . I followed ; and made an ignorant letter of Bailie Christie ' s , written bj way of apology for Ais non-attendance , my text . This pompons fool declined accepting the invitation , because 1 mas to be there ; bat 1 promise you that after the lidring I gave him , he will never write my name again as Jon * as be lives . We had a vast somber of the middle classes , and many mannfaoiurers present . I enroled in all , in Dundee , 270 members . When we returned to our hotel a young gentleman met me , and asked me to walk into the Commercial iloom , where there was a party of seven or eight gentlemen , all of whom bad just returned
from ibe meeting . I did accompany him ; and there met sereral Tery gentlemanlike intelligent persons , some of them manufacturers , and one especially , a German , who I hare since learned is the best and kindest master in Dundee . 2 do not know bis name . We discussed the principles of the Charter and "free trade , " till nearly three o ' clock in ib * morning - all the young men standing up for the Charter . The principles are beginning to find way here . We conclsded the morning ' s entertainment , by a ber between the German gentleman and myself : be betting that npon a dissolution of Parliament , the "Whi gs would come into power again : 1 betting that , as Whigs , they would not . The wager is , a dinner lor the party then present . Mr . Kidd , the chairman , gave me £ 1 for the Executive , and a gentleman , who would not give bis name , gave me 5 s . for the Executive .
On Wednesday morning we proceeded on our way io Aberdeen , Mr . Duneombe stopping a \ Skmehaven , fifteen miles from Aberdeen "; wnile I went on . When I arrived at the coach office there wm a large concourse of persons to receive me , but no notice of any meeting for that nights the council supposing that J should be too mneh fati ^ ned . However we put np / a bill in Mr . Ledge ' s window 5 and at eight o ' clock we bad an excellent meeting in a large chapel , when I spoke at great length and with , good effect . I enrollea 128 members ; and would have added all to the ranks bad they beeu apprised of my intention .
The following day was to be the all-important © ne—the day of t&b DracnaB demonstration : and when I looked gut of my window , to my horror 1 saw that the elemests were to be against as , It was the only wet day they have h » d for a long time . It ranted incessantly ; and great was our misgiving . At twelTB o ' clock I started , in company with the veteran ArchyM 'Donald , in a ; carriage and six , to meet Mr . Dnneome : for whomlfl'Pherson and another excellent fellow of oar body had gone early to StonehaveB . When Mr . Dnneozaba arrived , one would nave imagined that the rain , so far from deterring , bad invited the Chartists to come ost ; for it was the longest and grandest procession they have ever bad . All the trades weeain full reo&lU .
When Mr . Buncombe met the procession , he would have the carriage opened ; and there he stood like a dripping statue the whole way . Be was highly and justly delighted with bis reception . It was our intention to have proceeded to the , links , a ? Bsnal , bnt the day was so wet , we stopped in the Market-place ; when oht old and valued friend , H'Pberson , was called to the chair ; and our cot less Tallied friend , Legge , proposed an address , which bereadto'Mr . lhincombe , and to which Mr . Daneombe replied at great length , and to the entire satisfaction of his bearers . I was tbtn to speak ; and as all previous speakers had regretted the wetness of the day , I rejoiced at it , and for this simple rreaeon : -bad n been fine , the press would have attribntedebeattecdaare to sightseeing-curiosity ; whereas as it was wet , none but iron Chartists would eome -out . Before I communicate the most cheering portion of the intelligence to you , let me tell you that it
did not rain within seven miles of Aberdeen , on any side that day , as I have since learned ; and it is a most remarkable circumstance , that during the ihreeweeksl have been on my rambles , we have only bad three wet days : the one that Mr . Dnncombe entered Manchester ; again , when be entered Newcastle ; and on Thursday when be entered Aberdeen . This was doubtless to try the mettle of the Chartists . It was too wet to enrol members , or I should have enlisted 3 , 000 at least ; bnt I did enrol one that in my bumble opinion will give more general satisfaction , than if I bad enrolled 10 , 000 others . On onr return to tbe hotel , Mr . Duncombe said , Now I a member of the . National Charter Association f * I replied , "No ; if you have not taken out yonr card . " ** WeH , " said he , ** as I am virtually a member of ih » t bo < Jy , 1 should be so actually ; so"Rive me my card , and fill it up Aberdeen , Oct . 26 th . " I did so , and be paid me a guinea for it : so

by far the most honourable distinction , in my mind . In the evening we had a grand Soiree . They could only get a Hall to bold roxmxEss nvxiyaxD persons , which waE inconveniently ; crowded . They applied to a set of Tory proprietors for the Market Hall , capable of accommodating 12 , 000 , which they declare they could have filled . But such a sight would have been too much for such jaundiced eyes ; so they refused ns . . In Aberdeen , so influential iB Chartism that M'Pheraon beat both parties , by nearly 100 mijority , for the Coismissiooership of Police ; and he now fills that important tffice . They do their buane ? s better than any other people ; and they do it "without softenic ^ dow ; i tbe principle to prejndicepoiat . They eanr&ss for BTery office nnder tbe principlesnameand alL
, , I attended at the Soiree an hoar before the proper lime , and enrolled s number of members ; but it-was done by so many agencies , that I cannot exactly * tate the anaber ontil 1 tako stock of my wares ; bnt I should say aboat 300 , which , added to 1 , 000 cards that have beea left at Aberdeen , will make 1 , 438 for that town . Mr . Duneombe arrived at eight o ' clock , accompanied by -M'Pherson , the chairman , and was most rapturously applauded . He made an admirable speech . We had some excellent singing , and opened the busi-JJBeb with Scots , whs haVfinng by the vrhdle company . I spoke st jgreat Jeagth ; and Lowery spoke . Mr . Dnneombe was called npon bis legs » Becond time ,
to receive « raddres 8 from the female Chartists of Aberdeen , accompanied with a splendid tartan plaid , and a brooch with lus arms and crest Tery beaatifnll y engraved upon it . The address was emphatically and feelingly read by a Tery beautiful ¦ and interesting young woman ; and , when Mr . Doacombe presented himself in full costume , be » as rapturously applauded . He returned thankB in * " » ery excellent and talented speech , shortly After which we retired , accompanied by Mr . Legge , who realised with me till nearly one o ' clock , and told 3 ae that the proceeds arising out of my visit , two Tears ago , bad kept tbe Association in fomdj » p to tie praent time .
On JPriday , we were to have bad a publio BJeehnsj to Enrol members ; but , owing Jo a pledge that I gweioinB people c ? Aibroath , ibaVl-woTald work to repay the monies advanced to Eend delegates to the Birmingham Conference , I was obliged to fisit the latter town for that purpose . On Friday morning , we got up at four o ' clock , Mr . Duncombe to Etsrt for Glasgow , and I for Montrose , where I bad promised to address tie people at two o clock , in tbe ThistleHall . WebadamoBt excellent meeting ; and I canenly say that the people of Montrose expressed

The lmdiOR a&d embarkirg at this important point ismoet awful and dangerous : and , as a gentleman obserred in my bearing , it will remain so , until a Lord Lieutenant , two or three . Baronets , five or six magistrates , or a dozen of ] lawyers are drowned . Then ,-but not till then , will ¦ it be remedied .
I arrived in Edinburgh at half-past four , and went to Leith at seven , when , in consequence of the early hour , and the men being paid at eight o ' clock , and it also being Saturday night , and many having gone to Edinburgh , to the fiBKAT meeti . ng . as they called it , my audience was not numerous ; but it was good , and very attentive . I spoke for nearly an hour and a half , and enrolled forty-two members . I then started for Edinburgh for tbe meeting in St . Cecilia Hall ; where we bad almmper . Snbjpct , — "Ireland and her wrongB . " Every Irish leader in Edinburgh was present , and the galleries were full of the upper orders . I set to it at" once ; and 1 certainly made a smasher , I could scarcely proceed , bo numerous
were the interruptions of cheering and waving of hats . The subject was entirely my own ; and I gave Ihem two hours of unbroken declamation , that rung through tb p ball , and made the Hibernians dance again . When I tacked the Charter as aneceamn appendage to Repeal , they bounced up and ciucrcd , amd cheered again . Several Irishmen enrolled their names , and nearly all shook hands with me . I have made the Association here 600 strong . I was at work from seven in the morning till nearly twelve at night . I addressed the people of Dundee , Perth , and Edinburgh ; and had a most tremendous pain in my right side . 1 took a warm bath at ten ' clock ; and got up on Sunday morning as fresh as a lark , ready for a twelvemonth of u .
1 must now give you a little of the chit cb » t here . The tea party in honour of Mr . Duncombe was got up here by nine ; deserters from our ranks ; and , as one of them confessed to one of tbe Chartists , for the especial purpose of offering me an insult , by letting it be supposed that it was a Chartist Soiree , but that I was not invited . They have been hit so hard however , by the failure and expense , about nine pounds at the wrong side , that they arenowquarelling among themselves , and trying to be taken back . One circumstance ? s worthy of especial notice . Tbe Sturgites , who got up tbe party , tried to enlist the Irishmen ; and , amragst others , sent six cards to a Mr . Connor , a most respectable shopkeeper , who has been in business twenty years in this town . It
was communicated to him , that the whole affair was intended as an insult to me ; when he instaudy enclosed his cards to the committee ; and the Irishmen who bad bought cards sold them for sixpence each , at a loss of ninepenee , rather than be parties to such a malicious and dastardly act . 1 have this fact from Mr . Connor himself . Duneombe ' s speech , however , has completely destroyed " Completeiam " in Scotland . 2 fo msn will now confess himself as even belonging to the nameless staff of M poor Joseph . '' He is now a shepherd without a lock , " taking Via wits to < 2 rKwi «» dbbazB * -U > have a confab with honest Shaman Crawford , to see hew they ean make " something out of nothing . " They aooald remember the old adage : —
u Exnihil ^ nih . ilJUr H Out of nothing nothing can be made . " I cannot neglect stating one pleasing fact : two hundred honest Chartists , fitty miles Bouth of Aberdeen , started in a boat to be present at the i ) uncombe demonstration ; and when they had got within five miles of their destination , they were driven back , and immediately started on foot and walked tbe fift" miles . Who now says that chab-DtX w d £ ad ih £ Cotla >»? In fact , my friends , most of those who have visited Scotland , have
estimated Chartist principles by the amount they could chouse from the poor people ; and the Scotch being careful of their pence , and small blame to them , the ** pedlars" give Chartism a bad name ; bat I declare that there never was so much Chartism in Scotland ; bnt it will not pay for puffs . I will give you Mr . Duneombe ' s own words about it . " By Jove , if those who say Chartism is dead would only come U > Scotland , their eyes would be opened . What I are all these Chartists i" I tell you , an-1 you will believe me , that Chanism is able to beat all other isms is Scotland .
As I long ago predicted , some of the church-Chartists have tried to strangle the question of civil rights . Seciet letter writing ; undermining ; and applying for tie passing of friendly resolutions are practices very much in use latterly . But the Scotch are a very fax-seeing people , and always affectionate ; and stand by tbeii old friends , till they sea reason to change . 1 have learned many lessons of wisdom since my arrival here . When I mentioned on Saturday , at Dundee , Leith , and Edinburgh , that Mr . Duucombe was a member of our association , I thought the cheering would never stop .

Glasgow . —P . S—I have only time to Bay we had a most splenoid scene in tfee City Hall . Moir , Paul , and Adams made most admirable speeches , and Mr . Duncombe out-did himself .

DincrBiEs . —Here we had a great disappointment . The people took the largest church in ibe town for this meetiDg , ssd sigced articles with the committee ; but tbe priest , one of the rampant non-intrusionists , one M'Kenaie , took off the key , and went out of tows , after all tbe expence was incurred . At tbe last moment , when tbe people were all bnt mad , Bailie Beck , a coach maker , cleared his show room for us , and we bad an admirable meeting , notwithstanding the I ^ onintmsionist Liberal . I enlisted 160 Chartists , and I am now going to a public supper to enlist more . I am really knocked up ; and nothing but Tidd Pratt could Lndsce me to
persevere . _ Fbeb Kirk Tboubijes . —There are sundry rumours afloat of fresh troubles to the Free Kirk ; but our information is not minute enough to enable ns to give the particulars . We may state , however , that Messrs . Simpson , of Kintore , and Blaikie , of Drumblade , are about , it is said , to abandon their ibeks , and that the Rev . Mr .

Thus formed one of the ; most splendid processions ever exhibited Iq this part of the country . By the time the procssston washed the town , notwithstanding the rain which fell heavily , it had swelled to a vast amount . All tbe way from tbe Watdr House , ai tat & 3 the eye could could reach down Union-atreet , presented one vast moving m ?
profusion of handkerchiefs Were to be seen waving from tbe snow-white hands of some of the ladies who occupied the windows and balconies . The proogssion meved down Unier-street , . St Nicolas-street , Gorgestrcat , St Paul'S'Skrcet , Gallowgata , Broad-sti ^^ t , to the Market Cror « , where tlx * meeting was to be held . The pro- > 3 rslon was intendei to ptoocad to the great natural amphitheatre at the terminus of the Caledonian rrse courc 3 , bat tbe inotetnency of tbe weather prevented it . The carriage , with Mr . Dnacomba end those \ who were to take part , drew up west of the Cross , la the spacious Market Square ; and theugh several tboennds bad gone to tbo tost intended plr j of meetlog . not knowing but the procstsion wai to proceed also , yet the Great Square presented one living mass of men and women , such as ht i caldom , if ever , graced it before .
Mr . M'Pherson , comb-iaacuf&oturer , and comm ' isioner of polici , was oaJled to tbo obalr , who opened tbe meeting by a gentlemanly and appropriate speech , fucu as always distinguishes this friend of freedom ' when called on to appear in . that capacity . He introduced Mr . Jofca Legge , wbo spoke at considerable i length in compliment of Mr . Duncombe and the cause he-had bo nobly espoused , aud promised that his fellow < citizens would never be wanting to aid Mr . ?) . in nis i noble work . He eoncladea by moving an ex' 3 llent address to Mr . DnneomLs , embodying the sentiments of tha inhabitant in reference to Mr . D . ' s great exertions in the canre of freedom . .
The address was reconded by Mr . M'Intoab in a neat and appropriate speeoh , and was unanimously greed to . , Mr . Buncombe then addressed the mcoting ; when b « « o »» u » cheering wa ^ nnbonnded . Huzza after buzz * , which IKorally mads the botuc * sbatro , wecc : led each other in repeated succession , for at least ton minutes . After which he delivered . ° - brief but ; patrlotio and statsaman-like spocch , and concluded ; amidst a valley of Northern hbEns . \ Mr . O'Connoe then addressed tbe assembled tbeu- ; sands for a eouiide : uble time , in his usual eloquent j and convincing stile . He w ? i rapturously cheercL j After three cheers for Duncembe repeated three j times , the procp > -ion cccorapanied Mr . D . to his hotel , and after giving blin tbrco cheers separate 1 to their 1 different homes , to prepare for the lolrea .
Thus ended one of those m 3 tmgs so much calculated to leave on imprcrsion on the enemies of it :, -dom that something is wrong ; for tbe working classes would not stand below tbe drizzling rain for four hoars had they not a cause ; and it also shews that the f-wple are net indifferent to those who stand forward to defend the principles and sustain the rights of tbe working classes .
THE FESTITAL . The Festival washoklen in the Temperance Saloon , a plao capable of containing l , « 00 persons , at eight o ' clock , p . m . ; and though the doors were not to be opened till seven , there was a large crowd seeking admission before six ; and long before tbe hour of meeting the hall wn crammed in every part Mr .

Danqombeand O'Coanor toft accompanied by Mr . Legge , and the » eetfag soon after broke up , . . „ , Thus ended a Demonstration which will long oe remembered by the inhabitants of Aberdeen . It is useless to say of the Demonstration what every one Fjiows who saw it , that it was most beautiful , numerous , and well-conducted ; and tbe Trades did inflnit ' j honour both to themseWea and the cause , by the ' j gallant appearance .

1 fact , that he , ( Mr . O'Hi ^ gins ) from first step in politics to the present hour laboured to effect a good understanding between the > reat bulk of tbe English people and the Iri » h . Pitt and Castlereagh ffaceeeded ¦ ia effditfrife -aq .. Oligarchical Union , beiWeen the English and Irish oppressors of the people ; and hia was Eo ' rry t ' oVebeaewhat they had so often heard before , that some great ? leaders or the friah people , whom be Bhotild not n ^ * f-ii » iB 9 . followed in » oe 'Jti ^ -J&mfyi ^ f ^ theii , powerful eldqaenee auorgreat fnnuehce to make the people of Ireland : believe that the English people 1 were the enemies of ^ he Irish ' and their religion . Tnls was just what Pitt and Csstlereagh sought , to effeet ; theV aucoaeired in forming a cordial union of
English , and Irish'tyrants bat they failed to establish ' religious-and national hatred between the oppressed people of both coumriea . This was reserved for other pajrties . He regretted to aay that the labours of a certain individual had been successful , to a great extent , amongst his countrymen , many of whom—in fact , the great bulk of whom , not ? believe that the-English working people hate them and their religion to such a degree that they would willingly come over here at the bidding of any Minister , Whig or Tory , and help him to cut the throats of the Irish Catholic priests . Thas that feeling of hatred jan < i animosity which J ? itt and Castlereagh failed to bring about , has been effected by the great advocate of civil and religious
liberty—( hear , bear ) . The : notic 9 which he should read was intended to establish a better feeling ; in short a cordial union , between tbe English and the Irish people . The motion he now gave notice of was to the following effect : — " Conciliation : between Daniel O'Connell j and Feargrts O'Connor ^ in a proposed amicable j dticuwvn in * c Conciliation Hall . '—Thac in order 10 make tho Conciliation Hall be in reality that which it professes to be , Mr . O'Connell is imperatively called upon no longer to retard the progress of the Repeal of the Union , by interposing a barrier between , and refusing the aid and co-operation of , 3 , 500 , 000 inhabirania of Great Britain in favour of a Repeal of the Union , by reason of some private pique or personal quarrel .
between himself and Mr . Feargus O'Connor . That in order to overthrow tyranny in England and Ireland , a cordial union should be effeoted between the working classes of both countries ; and io order to effect this most desirable object it is Mr . O'ConnelPs bounden duty to invite Mr . O'Connor to a friendly ' and amicable discussion of their views , in the Conciliation Hall ; and then , and there , for the interest , the peace , happiness , and prosperity of the Empire , sacrifice their disputes and differences on the altar of their common country /' Hj ( Mr . O'H . ) diji not know Mr . O'Connor eo well or bo long asj he knew Mr . O'Connell ; yet he would stake his life upon it , that in order to effect bo glonouB an ] object as that contemplated in
the motion of which he had given notice , Mr . OGonnor would cheerfully forgivo all injuries wbicb be " has suffered at the hands of Mr . < > 'Connell—( choers ) . Mr . Thomas Ford said , as a Meathman , it would do his heart good to see these two great men make tip their quarrel for the sake of the country . Mr . John Lynbam said that he also was a Meathman , a labourer ; and though he had but little to spare , he would give a months' wages , if he were to live 011 one me al a . day to see the unfortunate dispute between Mr . O'Connor and Mr . O'Connell made up . Mr . Bergin did not ; know what was meant by Conciliation unless ttjwas tojoin cordially for the interests of our country , whj does Mr , O ^ onnell call upon others to burr in oblivion all old disputes , while he himself nevei seta us the example!—thear ) Mr . WiiiiuB WoodmH said that he had for Borne time past contemplated a motion something like that
whjob was read by Mr . O Higgins . Conciliation Hall , was the proper place to effect conciliation . He never yet heard of j any injury or injustice done by Mr . O'Connor to Mr . O'Connell ; and even if he had injured him surely Mr . O'Coanell , reads the Lord ' s prayer!—( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Dyott said that he fully concurred in the propriety of the motion r bat he should reserve his opinions until it came legitimately before the meeting . ! Mr . Henry Clark said that he highly approved of the motion . It was -well-timed , and if carried into ! operation would produce an effect even on present affairs in which Mr . O'Connell was interested—rthear , hear ) . lie concluded by moving that the notice of motion be published in the Daily and Weekly ) Freeman ' s Journal . Passed unanimously . Mr .

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS . Below is a statement of the namas and colours of the Councillors returned for tbe sereral Wards of the borough , and the numbers polled by each , wher j contests have taken place . East Warp ?—T »« "Liberals" put in nomination a poor thing named Barrett , who was for a £ 5 snffrage at the present ! and would progress sptof p 5 rftapa / Universal Suffrage ! Mr . M »; tin Cxwood wm his opponent . Barrett polled 494 ; Ciwood 484 . We bear that Barrett ' s majority is made up of dead men personated ; living men personated ; and bad votes ; and there is a talk of the lawyers being appealed to , to set the matter right . 1
Kisksatb Ward . —Heie the Whig candidate was Mr , Ycwdall , the grocer ; and his Tory opponent Mr . Stead , the baker . Yewdall polled 223 ; Stead 21 S . Mill-Hill Wabd . —The Whigs were Messrs . Watson and Morehouse ; the Tories , Messrs . Wiliiamson and Rayner . The numbers polled were : — Watson , 302 j Moorhonse , 301 ; Williamson . 255 ; Rayner , 295 . WOBTH Ward . —Here Mr . Brumfit , a Whigftadical Chartist , in the latter end of October and beginning of November , and a thorough Whig hack all the rest of the year , bad the " fight" to himself . Next year the Chartists must look to this Ward . -. Nobth-East Wabd . —Mr . Morton was the com- ; plete suffrage candidate ; Mr . WeddiU the Tory candidate . The nambeis polled were : —Weddill , 539 ; Morton , 348 .
North West Wasd . —Mr . C . Heaps was -the Whig-Radical candidate ; and Mr . Close , surgeon , the Tory man . Mr . Heaps polled 374 ; Me Close 276 . ¦ . ' South ¦>? Waisd . —TCtao ' ^ WWJIfr' % ** Win W « rt-Tio to themselves ; after having acted most treacherouflly towards the Radicals . By Isom ^ means or other , the quarrel was made up ; and Broadbead v the Whi % , walked brer . . ¦ •;' .-. West Wabd . —Here the Chartists had a man out , Mr . Jackson , the corn miller . His colleague was Sir . Carbutti » Whig . The Tories started Mr .
P . L . Atkinson and Mr . D . Atkinson . The Chartistsbeat . The numbers polled were : — 'Jackson * 480 ; Carbntt , 488 ; P . L . Atkinson , 439 ; D . Atkinson , 441 . Bbamiby Wabd . —The Whiga started here were Mr . John Cliffe , and Mr . D . Hainsworth . The Tores , Mr . Wilson , and Mr . Jobn Oddy . The polling stood : — Wilson , € 69 ; Oddy , 664 ; Cliffo , 371 ; Hainsworth , 365 . IIckslet Ward . —Both parties were late in the field , in this ward . A Mr . Walker was the Whig man ; and Mr . Wm . Heaton the Tory man . Walker polled 424 votes : and Heaton 224 .
Headimolt Ward —Contrary to all expectation , a contest took place here . A Mr . Anderton was brought out in the Whig interest , to oppose Mir . Prinoe , the Tory . The polling stood : —Prince , 268 ; Anderton , 201 . Holbeck . Ward . —Here was the main fight . There was more interest excited , and more wagers pending , as to the result in this Ward , than in all the others put together . The very violent means resorted to by both sections of sham Reformers , the Whigs and
Goosey ' s tribe , had directed all attention to the contest . Mr . Hobsonwas the Chartist candidate , having been nominated by an overwhelming majority ** of a large public meeting of the burgesses and inhabitants . Sir . Ingham waa the other candidate nominated with him . The Whigs brought out a Mr . Pape to oppose Mr . Hobson . From the first , Mr . Hobson took the lead , and maintained it to the last : the numbers polled being—Hobson , 571 ; Ingham , 490 ; Pape , 396 . Hobson ' s Majority over Ingham 81 ; over Pape 175 !!
The defeat of the Whigs and shams was " complete" ! A regular looring ! It will be seen by an examination of the above aocounts , that Mr . Hobson was not only far away at the head of the Poll ia Holbeck , bat that he polled more rotes than any other candidate in the Borough ! and that , too , after every means , dirty and infamous , had been resorted to , to damage hia election . His Airn-Free-Tradeism was much played off , and dwelt upan by the enemy . Yet he polled more votes than any other man , the whole Borough through ! And two-thirds of his votes were plumpers too : so that he had equal to just upon 1 , 000 votes ! Who will now say that Chartism is down ? ...
The lying seribe of the liberal" Journal here , who has furnished the Morning Chronicle with his account , says that it is ** by the treating and influence of the Torie 3 that Mr . Hobson has been returned . * How lame ! There never yet was an election on earth so pure as the Holbeck one . We believe that neither party resorted to treating : at all events Mr . Hobson ' s friends would not have given one singla pint of ale to have gained the election . The voter * lad to walk to the polling-booth ; in some instances two miles . And as for the influence of the Tories , Mr . Ripley , the greatest Tory in the Ward , voted for both Ingham and Pape , the two Whigs ! There wai treating in some parts of the Borough ; but not at Holbeck .
About sixty of Mr . Hobson ' s friends celebrated their glorious victory oa the evening of the day of election , at the Woodman Inn , Sweet-street , by a substantial supper . Mr . Hobson and Mr . Ross wen present , and addressed the assembly . - > A committee was appointed to look after the Registry ; for the working men purpose to carry two men next year . We understand that the Chartists of Leeds intend to celebrate their signal triumph in the Holbeck and West Wards by either a Sotiree or a Publio Dinner , in their new and large room . It is not a bad idea . The Chartists are triumphant when they enter upon it ; a good omen of future success while in it .
John Clapham , the Blitetailed "Reformer . ' —A great yell is made by the Whigs and shams about Blue-tailedism , which * hey attribute to the Chartists . What will they say to the following ! Mr . Jackson waa brought out in tha Westward by the Chartists , along with Mt . Caibutt , & Whig : the understanding being that both should receive the support of Motions ©? all Reformers ^ ^ The Chartists , to a man , voted for the Whig . Vohn Clapham , a Whig-made magistrate ; a violent * Reformer ! a consistent tear-away Cora Law Repealer , split his vote between Mr . earbutt , the Whig , aud Mr . D . Atkinson ^ thbTokt i ^ object being to keep out Mr . JnoksoB , theChartist . Will the Mercury dub John Clapham * bluB-t ^ ef Whig ! Will Mother Goose have any of her telwous ire& spare for the consistent Whig-TOlmg-To ry ! 0 / does So reserve it all for the CharUsta ! Wa shall see .
