      Mt TXEEXV& , —I have now got deeply into th . e teaih jear of agitation j _ aid being a constant and atientrre observer of pashig events , you must , if too gire me credit for any discernment , suppose that haye gained some experience .

      -was founded on tot disappointment created by the Reform BiB ; and I cannot be too particular in keeper jonr attention incessantly directed to the one ^ ct—xhat onr unswerving adherence io ihe ]< iincl ' -les of Chartism , together irirL our refusal to join in auT sectional agitation , or for any measurr ? hort of tlje vliole Charter , lias given a strength and imt > o nance to the -vrorkic ^ rias ? t » that tLf-y never before eeu $ command .

      League came io a resolntioii to abstain from petitioning in future . We came to that resolution in 1 S 42 . One of onr charges of int-vmpeiency against the League 7 ras , that they were bad -workmen because iiiey lya&n'i took to complete iheir . iob . They hadii ' i ^ pmb ers in the House *> £ Cstamons to give their party anythins lite reasonable hope of success ; -and £ 0 supply that Tvant they ha-s-e now dlreet « T their attention to the registration « f voters , in thr hope thereby to swell their Parliamentary minority . TVe have been proswuting the same undertaking for more than eighteen months ; so that here aL *> the Leasne have taken another leaf out of our book .

      Mt reason for mentioning this-subject . and of im . ^ re-sing h firmly npon your minds , is to exhibit the trk-kerv of the League , anJ your credulity , in the ssme picture . The League hare started truli ihe anuoiincement that they are not a political body : aed ss masters they have used their best endeavours to perpetuate that folly Tvliich excludes the consideration of all politics from Trades * meetings . Here then , 1 think , we hare them . They eschew politic ? : they complain of a creat national grievance , and assume ihe office &f sympathizers and correctors ; and they are obliged , after having tried the power of monrr—the power of the printing-press—the power of eioqnenee—ihe ptrwer of 3 > etit 5 oB 2—the power of intimidation—and all the other appliances at their command to hare recount at bj * t to the iiASiritTiKE < y

      I is cow going to shew that the League stand * m a different position to the Chartists , with respect to the Parliamentary representation of their respective principles . The League party must ever remain as as isolated party in the House of Commons , until tbe -workins -classes an- eufranchised . 1 will shew tou T ^ hy- If CoMen ' s ? t > le object is the Repeal of ihe Corn Laws , and if we are cot to g ive him any paiititid character , I - would juttifu his support of Sir Rv-ert Teel . for this reason : Ix ^ ause . if lluaseli and fL" "rTiii ^ c-ame imo oSee they ^ -ob !« 1 uot dare to pr-ic-se a total Repeal of the Corn Laws , hm . on the co ^ trirr , would be emboldened in their opposition to thr- ^ r-rsure hv the fact that the Tories would 5

      Upi «> r . : hem to u man . «' ii the other hand , if the TTaijs found that nothing short of a deckration in favour of Free Trade would ensure their restoration , it L- ^ pID that they would , however reluctantly , swaLc *? . But a-m thm ihe League could not succeed , so long as the Tory party are in po ? scs-sion of the mE . ior portion of the land that creates the -rote—tl » major portion of the money that buys the vote—and a major portion of the patronage that influences the vote . Therefore , as a distinct party contending acainst both Whigs and Tories ,-or as a touted party , joined with the JWliigs against the Tories , the Leasue have not the shadow of a shace of chance to acoroplish their object . Every man must be struct vrhb the childish simplicity of tLv « -who tell us » f the wonderful success the Lcasnie

      have cad in the aurricirsE , -pnd pvr-rhorf . of COOEty * 0 s- freeholder ? . They tell us that .

      -Our space is now so valuable , that 1 must draw to a close by shewing you , firstly , the value of a vote : and secondly , the value of even a small and compact representative party in the House of Commons . Th ( rain ? of ih ? volt . On the return from war to peace in 1 ? 15 , the landlords anticipated a fall in the price of produce . They had a majority in the Commons , and commanded the Lords . Thev asked for

      raoTECTios—and got it . Four years after , in 1819 , the Capitalists cried out for pbotectios—and they got protection . In 1 S 32 , the { manufacturers , jwho wei « p represented in every locality by the enormous amount of wealth they had amassed , and that wealth being represented in the House of Commons , they demanded the Reform Bill as their protectio . v—and ther jrot it , because -they were represented .

It appears that the supreme military tribunal to which he had appealed against the sentence of the court martial , deb" vered in their verdict List nisrht . and the goyernraent has lost no time in acting upon it . This tribunal has « -r > iifirmed the sentence oi the court martial against Prim and his military <•«>! - leaiTues Imt lia- irranted a new trial to the

      civiliantried with him . on the crouml of incompetence of a council of general * to decide on their cases . It was anticipated that the - supreme tribunal would have quashed tlie sentence of the court martial , which iconsidered alisiird )> y imjiajtial persons—inadtvjtumif the court believed the charge * ajrainst him of hchi ' ^ at the head of the conspiracy to assassinate Narraez and overthrow the govcrnuiejit , and unjust and tyrannit-aJ if they did not . Instead of deciding either that he was euilty or innocent , they choose a soil of midcDc course , and award him six years' imprisonment , which the supreme tribunal confcniSj and tingovernment acts upon instuiner , by shippius ) mu oil ' to Culia , to spend the time in the Moro Castle .

      A council ui war , which was held yesterday on Him' - officers , accused of beins implicated in tinalleged conspiracy some months hack , has condemned Captain J > . -lose Bartoli and Commander I ' .

      General Narvaez has been made a grandee of Spaii , of the hrst cla » s , with the title of Ihike of Ardoz . — Ardoz is the village where Seoaut ' s . troop went ov « to him , and which feat has been st-vledny all Moderado writers since then , an the " glorious victory o ? ArdoT . " The best proof that it was no victory , b \ lt ; i mere &Shjt of buying and selling , is . that the troops , who , ac < -ording to the Moderado version , were defeated , were allowed to share in all the rewards and promotions that were conferred upon the other troop * who had * ' pronounced " against Espartero .

      General Kuiz , the huaii Of the Lis . t insurrection in t ' arthageua , has again taken refuse in France , accompanied by his two aiiles-de-camp , Colonel Gavilu and Colonel Ciisernova . They were immediately » ent to Oloron , and from tlience to Pau , to be -examined by tlie Prefect of the Police . General Kuiz , not \ vitlistauding the extreme vigilance of the French police , . succeeded some time since iu cr > j ; - * ing the frontier , and having appeared at Hecho he huuict-il the iiihabitants to tokt- anus ag-ainst tlie Oovcrnment . 1 told you before that ho succeeded in disarming some carabineers stationed in the two volley . 1 -of Ilechu auU Anso . He also took a company of troops prisoners . General ltuiz appeared , therefore , to have made a ven

      tortunaU- commencement , and determined upon making an attempt upon Jaca , when the news of Hit' approach ut a column frv . in . Saragossa carried terror among tlie insurgents , and a few shots fired among them dispersed them ompletejy . Iu the middle of this ruin general Ruiz had nothing for it but to endeavour to escape into France , and tin- remainder of the insurgents having thrown a \ va \ their arms , returned to their homes . This insurrection has , therefore , failed , and the two valleys are at the pi-osem moment entirely j > ubducd . It is reported that Tgarta , the ex-political chief of Huesca , also joined jcneral Ruiz in the insurrection , but to the present time it is not known what has become of him .

      1 he / Vw ? announces that independent of General Kuiz , Colonel Gavjia , "C-omniandVr Casanova , a lieutenant of carabineers ,- six of the soldiers disarmed bv the insurgents , and three young men compelled by Ruiz to follow him , haci arrived at Oloron . The only revolters who oppos . ctl any resistance to the force * > ent from Navarre and Sara « os * a , were the peasants and the smuirders .

      Madrid , xS ' ov . 26 * . —The Madrid papers of this day s date confirm the accounts of the atrocious execution of Benito Zurbano am ! his uncle , at Logrono , along with their two servants . It appears , however , that the name of the brother-in-law of General Zurbano , who was shot , is not Cayo Muro , but Juan Martinez . Cayo Muro is still at large , and is supposed to lx ? with Zurbano . There are forty-six more of the insurgents in the prisons of Logrono * , and the orders of the ffovcrnment are that they should all be shot . Even this sanguinary feast , however , ia not sufficient to glut the vengeance of Narvaez , if we are

      to believe the Madrid papers . Several other officers are to meet with a similar fate . Several other general officers have been banished from Madnd , for apparently no other offence but that of having served under Espartero . A report was prevalent in Madrid that General Priiu had been rescued by a party of cavalry on his way to Cadiz . Nothing is known of Zurbano's whereabouts . There are as many reports about his movements as there are provinces in Spain ; but the prevailing opinion seems to be , that he has gone towards the Portuguese frontier , by wav of the mountains of Toledo .

      GRF . EGIv .

The only elucidation of the present sfJite of things is this , and to this alone cv ^' ry step , of tiiP Miniatn tends . The bonds of society are recklessly relaxed—confidence is lost in the courts of justice—nine murders , and above 100 highway robberies , are admitted to have occurred , crimes of late vears almost unknown in Greece—numerous

      forests burned , no offenders apprehended , and , in fact , except Athens and Naiiplia , the inhabitants of towns afraid to travel far from their protection . The most serious part of the drama is , however , played in the Chamber of Representatives , where General liriras and his ruffians are bullying' the independent members , and bringing the existing system into the utmost contempt . We fear that Russian intrigue is not idle , and tbe consequences will be most deplorable at no distant day .

With such objects in view , a Working Men ' s Convention has been held in Boston , a report of the proceedings of which we have been favoured with through the medium of the Boston

There were above two hundred delegates present , presided over by Mr , . 1 . S . Wright , of Boston . The delegates sat two days , and ; adopted a number of excellent resolutions .

      Then- Is no subject wbich claims our more serious and candid attention than that which refers to our condition as labourers . What this condition is ; if correct , how it may be maintained ; or if not / how it may be improved , are questions which we are imperatively called upon to decide . To a consideration of these questions allow us to rail your candid ami iinmetliatd attention . What is tlie present condition of tlie workmen of America ? Uy the declaration ' of rights which our fathers made , and which they maintained with their fortunes and their laws , we are instructed to believe that all men are born equal , possessed of equal natural rights , and designed to enjoy equal civil and social privileges . The .

      propagation of this self-evident truth formed an important era in the world ' s history , and was designed , first and foremost , to affect the condition of those in whom the feudalism of former times ; had recognized only serfs find dependants on the will of the crown or the aristocracy . To ensure the prevalence of this truth , care was taken in the structure of our government , to secure its operation throughout the civil body , by giving to every member of the body an equal voice in the selection of rulers and the formation of laws . To what extent a democracy ha .- been realized , it Is not our present object to inquire ; upon the practical bearings of the question we can eacli speculate anil decide for ourselves . :

      lo smother feature of this matter we would more especially call your attention . 'Wliat i * the present position and condition of the working men of America , considered as the actual producerslof wealth ? Labour is the only creator of value . Making use of the materials furnished by the God of Nature- , it g-ives utility to what was before worthless , or increases value where it before existed , supplying the necessities and ; idding to the comforts of human life . If the position to which we have previously reverted be correct , then have all an equal right to labour , and to enjoy-the blessings which such labour may create . A given umount of labour produces a given amount of value , which , according to the position we have assumed , should belong to tile producers . Do we find this to be tile fact . '

      It there , are those in the . community who are not actually engaged in manual labour , or , in other words , who are not producers , who do nevertheless receive value , it must follou that by some meatis they obtain possession of a part of that iihich is produced by others ; and we ilo actual ] . ) ' mid that u larjfe portion of the vaJue which is produced by labour is in some way secured by those who iiiv not engaged in productive industry at all . It is then evident that the greater is theiamount the smaller must be that retained by the actual producers ; or the greater tlie number of tlie non-producers , the heavier will he the burden upon , and the smaller "\\\ ill be the reuard of the industrious labourer . With the given amount in the ca » i \ we have little to do at present ; it is of the principle i \ c complain , which we . sec illustrated in the self-evident lint that thi : reward i > f the pr , i > dueer *> diminishes with the increase of the non-producers .

      The illusion of society into the producing and the uonproducing classes , and the f : ict of the unequal distribution of value between the two , introduces us at once to another distinction—that of capital and labour . And here we find a wide difference ; to exist , involving on the one hand the idea of dependance . Labour now becomes a commodity , wealth capital , and the natural order of things is entirely reversed . Antagonism and opposition of interest is introduced into the community : capital and labour stand opposed : the non-producing classes wage war with the producing , and excessive- and deadly competition incite the producers against each other . Money becomes power in the hands of the capitalist ; disunion and competition become weakness on the part of the labourer . The interests of the few become permanent , those of the mans arc neglected : the few rule , while tin- many serve the few are affluent , while the main arc miserable

      We would not have it . supposed that this ultimatum has been reached by u .-, or that our condition as working nun is reduced to that extreme of wretchedness to which tbe labourers of Europe have long . ; since arriv ed . But we do mean to assert that our present s \ stem of labour i * / . (( . «« it , I'rtiinp if . and in jirurHcf unjust and oj' jn'tssire to orrfell'CS , ami Injurious to (/* c counnunitih In England the syste *^ has done its utmost ; it has raised tlie few to mo ' . t . than Kingly wealth , while the niauy ; at the same time - . . ^ jn ; ,- to tlie lowest degradation vf UtU " ' . j' . , b , , ' misery and wretchi h'l'ss- lu " , < m " lBU <> . similar results are " beginning to show tliwujjolv . ^ aud musl bu Mwi ftR incvilaUy as j ike ruu > l 7 s produce like etlects . - ¦ .

      ) . We believe our present system of labour is false in principle . In the decree " in the sweat of thy face thou hhalt eat bread , " we trace the original design of the Creator . Not that one should toil and another eat , but that thv frUlt of industry should be enjoyed by him who exercised it . Not that the few should rule , while the many serve , since God has revealed himself as the ruler , a . nd all men are brethren . So far as we are able to discover the destiny of man from ) his organization , it is not merely to buy and sell and get gain , but to bring out and strengthen those exalted natures with which he u gifted ; while our present system ot'lubour woukl assert the former , but deny the latter . Thus does it deny in principle the evident facts of his nature , and entirely disregard those laws to which we are to look ! for the indications of his destinv

      It makes labour a commodity to be bought and sold in the market , and mnn a mere ; machine . It deprives the man of all the power of an agent , and binds him as f helpless victim in the shambles , to become t' - ,. iu possession of the highest \ bi ^ Deprived of the mnn , « -c had almost * , ;< , of ^ thoM ^ . ^ ^^ ti-nals with which the ( iod of ; nature has furnished man »< ir 'he exercise of industry , the labourer has no longer an opportunity to rely upon his iown hands as capital : he etui no longer at will create value which , when created , is to be his own ; but ho uitis ^ sell his commodity : —his labour—his ' matihood—to another , to receive therefore the miserable pittance which but reveals his degradation , without increasing his store . ' 1 . Tlie present system of labour is in practice unjust aud oppressive to ourselves ,

      because—J . It introduces false standards of judgment . It separates the capitalist from the labourer—placing the former with his respectability on the bne side , or rather iu the foreground , while tbe latter , with his toilworn face and calloused hand , is left to occupy the rear . It gives to the one power , to the other no alternative but to submit . It crowns the one with honour , , the other with disgrace . The one , though lie may never have produced a single l'mU ' b worth in value , is honourable the other is despised , though he may have added thousands and tens of thousands to his country's wealth . ¦ J . It deprives the actual producer of value of a fair proportion of the same , and the re ' ward for his toil which is Instlv hi * tl'ie , This it does bvjthe introduction of

      excessive competition amongst mechanics , caused by the increase of facilities for protection , which every vear are throwing hundreds if not thousands of mechanic ' s out of employ—thus bringing man in direct competition with the inanimate machine , and giving to the latter the reward which should only anil of right belong to the former . 3 . The present system of labdur not merely dooms the labourer to excessive and over-protracted toil , but b . v eouse < iueiice denies to him the . cultivation Of thOSf Social and mental natures with which he is endowed . Receiving , as

      he does , but so scanty a pittance for his toil , he is under the necessity of protracting the Same to procure for himself the comforts or necessaries of life . If four hours ' labour should be sufficient for the satisfaction of human wants , provided all would bearian equal share of toil , if but half the community bear itl the burden is increased to eight hours , if only one-third , to twelve . Then worn with the labour of the day , drawn out through twelve , fourteen , or even sixteen hours , ; he has little heart to engnge in mental labours , or however greatly he may desire it , he has no opportunity—no time .

      4 . The present system of lapour disregards the great tie Of brotherhood which sbouldiunite all men , and brings into the most deadly and hostile competition parents and children , brothers and sisters , the child and the man , the male and female . It dooms theiweak , the young , to bear the most grievous burden to gratify his own cupidity . Through the introduction of labour-saring machinery , it is constantly supplanting the labour of the male adult , introducing instead that of the helpless female , or the atiil weaker child . In fine , the present system of labour

      introduces utter isolation , opposition , comp 011 * destroys the very life ' s blood of industry , makes it the slave of capital , and tramples on the laws of our being , the plain defined laws of the Creator . ' -Again , ihe present system of labour is injurious to the community , because—1 . —It encourages crime by compelling idleness . The two , it is said , go hand in hand ; aud our own observation will assure us that if honest industry will not procure a livelihood , dishonesty or immorality must . As we have

      previously shown , by our present system of labour intelligence is discouraged , or rather forbidden ; idleness is encouraged , and even compelled , and destitution and misery the inevitable result . A people were never known to be ignorantj idle , and miserable , and still virtuous . Tba statistics of England . France , and other countries of Europe abundantly prove this ; and even amongst our . setf es we are compelled to admit that intemperance , dishitnesty , and licentiousness find nowhere a stronger support than in the prevent derangement of the social system , and the disourragciucius and difficulties under which labour exists .

      And need we ask ii . i system , thus fruitful in the most deadly e \ ils . is what it should be I Liy no means . A reform is demanded . The only < juestion which remains is , how it may be secured . This is one which demands our most serious consideration . It is that grand problem which is now presented for solution to the working-men of the ' iiiuetceiith century . U ' e do not prr > j > ose at this time to enter upon the work . It must be the business of years , and jvosecufed by every individual who has an interest in industry . It demands the attention of every lover of his country and humanity , and he who givefi the same is eminently the benefactor of his race . To a few points allow us to call vour attention .

      One ot the hrst things at which we should aim is the spread ' of a more general and loftier intelligence . As worliiug-ineii , it becomes us well to investigate our present position , the relations we sustain to capital , and the causes which have already operated to reduce us to the condition in which we are at present . Knowledge of the laws of Cause and effect , and a candid examination of facts , are absolutely indispensable to the conduct of reform . We must rely upon ourselves in this matter . Too long have we allowed others to think and act for us ; and , submitting to their guidance and dictation , we may expect still to toil on in our present helpless state . The work before us is nii ^ hty , and the preparation needed is great ; but eonndenee in ourselves should be manifested , and more than half the preparation for the mighty effort is secured .

      We should ever distinctly remember our object ; not to elevate ourselves by depressing others—not to subvert all society , but to establish a correct one—not to war with any man or ela ^ s of men—but to elevate ourselves—to strengthen the bonds of our brotherhood , to remove oppression , to assist the weak , to befriend humanity , and to emancipate man . For these purposes we should endeavour to promote unity of action amongst ourselves . Frequent assembling together , that we may become acquainted with each other ' s wants , permanent associations , and all worthy efforts for our common good , should be diligently attended to . At present we are divided , isolated , and opposed . Frequent association and confidence will to a great extent remedy these evils , and secure for us in action that unity , without which it is impossible to accomplish any portion of the object we have ultimately in view .

      Now is the time for some action . A beginning must be made . . Every day disunion and competition are increasing our weakness , while the evils which oppress us are accumulating in number and magnitude . Not a moment is to be lost ; while we have some power let us use it . However small may be the commencement , time will reveal the tremendous result . True , we have many obstacles to oppose ; but these should Serve as no cause for discouragement , but rather to incite us to the higher and more determined action . Other movements , it is said , have failed ; but the present is based upon a broader platform—the eternal principles of right ; and so long as these are maintained we have the best assurances of success .

      The numerous associations of working men which have already sprung- up throughout >" ew England , are most encouratring sifrns of promise . The deep interest which is being awakened throughout the community , and in special the ground which is assumed by the working men , giu- us the greatest cause for hope . The sacred spirit of lib' -rty is -again revisiting the earth ; the undaunted zeal of the fathers once more reanimates the sons ; and the marshalled hosts are gathering for a glorious contest and a bloodJe ** - ' ietory .

      Through the once darkened future the glow of hope is si i n , which tells of the coming of the broad day of freedom , when man shall stand erect in all the dignity of hu nature—when iiolence and oppression shall hide in the darkness of the past—when labour shall be disenthralled —the supremacy of humanity asserted , and the working man stand forth confessed as " earth ' s true nobleman . " ! Among the resolutions passed was one for the lioldiivjf of a Convention to organise the New England Association ; the Convention to meet at Lowell on the . third Tuesday of March , 1845 .

      Government are raised from a tariff ; a copy will be sefit the society shortly . Joint-stock Companies are encouraged , and may have a charter granted to them . The report gave the greatest satisfaction , except that part alluding to the priests .
