BEOXTERRE O'BRIEX IN LONDON . The democratic friends and disciples of Bronfcerre , mustered numerously at the Crown aid Anehor Tavern , on Monday evening last , for the purpose of welcoming lie re-appearance in the Metropolis , of their indefatigable political preceptor , after an incarceration cf eighteen months , " for hi 3 advocacy of the rights of working men . " Albeit , as we conconeeive , imprudently convened by a notice issued calling this meeting on an evening , previously set apirt for & similar demonstration of Fjrnpathy towards another victim of despotism , ( Mr . Carrier ) , thereby precluding the attendance of many hundreds , yet eTen the veracious faction-journalist 3 admit that Epon this occasion , the abo ^ e named well-known spacious Assembly rocm was filled by an enthusiastic auditorv .
Mr . Nagle having been deputed to preside , Mr . O'Brien entered the room , and was greeted with deafening plaudit ? . .

Spcer donbted not that they would concur wiui Mia in rendering honour to whom honour was w pre-eminently dne . He defied any to gainsay "a * the tjrants of the people—alike aristocrats and prontmongcrs , treated that people far worse than
ere treated their beasts of burden and dogs . They had tortured , imprisoned , and almost persecnttd to « e death Mr . O'Brien and others , for daring to Mvocaie the true rights of man . After further fleusmncing tyranny , and earnestly exhorting the oppressed to hold fast by those glorious principles , vhich alone can work out their redemption from a worse than Egyptian bondage , Jlr . S . concluded by moving a resection declaratory that the imprisonoeci of Bron : erre O'Brien , for his benevolent exerfcops on behalf of tie people , was inhuman and ttcjnsi .

of which we abould gain those rights which would enable us to redress our wrongs . You have proved yonr love for as in the day of danger—in the time of trial ; and we will shew you our love In return—we Will shew you that we admire your noble spirit—that we can appreciate your past sacrifices—that we intend to secure your future services . You shall have your reward in the power to do us more good ; and to-night , in this auspicious room , with Its good-omened name—in this propitious place , far distant , fat different from your eighteen months' abode in the cold and gloomy castle-cell of Lancaster—at the head of this generous , this glowing assembly , ire crctrn you , O'Brien , with Joy ; fox O Brien ' s press is the anchor of our hope ! . Johm Watkins , Honorary Secretary to the Jxmdon O'Brien Press Fund Committee ,
Mr . O'Brien on rising to return thanks , met with enthusiastic applause , that for several minutes ceased only to be renewed with increased vigour . Inspiring as it was thus again to meet with hiB old and honest-minded friends of London , after seeing nothing but the faces of thieves during the last eighteen months , he yet felt himself 60 physically weak , as to be unable , he feared , to do justice to the noble cause , to whose advocacy ho was devoted But he did not come there to teach or lecture the people ; he came to prove himself the same man now as he was before he was thrust into a dungeon . ( Approbation . ) The past Lad not subdned , nor had the futpre any terrors for him . Ho for one wasfor going right onward for the Charter . As an
evidence of this , he need but instance the fact , that althongh he had only been forty-five days out of gaol , he had attended forty-one public meetings , not one of which had proved a failure , and on the average had spoken three hours at each . He rejoiced exceedingly that he had found no relaxation in their efforts on Ihs part of the Chartists , —so far from that , he found th « temper of men ' s minds improved since he was sent to Lancaster castle . The wildness of disorganised enthusiasm had given place to a not to be vanquished determination ; they had , it was true , no mad talking of carrying all before them , in a month , of 3 , 000 armed men in Yorkshire , who could soon beat the raw recruits at the Tower , especially if led on by him , —( cheers ); they had
none of this now , but they had what was much better , a strong phalanx of reasonable and determined men , who were determined ; o carry their point . They ^ wished to blend intellectual knowledge with physical force . The Chartists were now preparing a system of organising , a system by which the peop le could oppose force by force . ( Deafening cheers . ) The Chartism of the present day was as far superior to the Chartism of 1838 , and 1839 , as the light of the sun was superior to the light of the moon . ( Cheers . ) It was neither the moral force delusion , nor the physical force madness . ( Hear and cheers . ) The partizans of both were now equally repudiated . Mr . O'B . then characterised a portion of the first General Convention as having , albeit arrayed under
the seemingly antagonist banners of moral and physical force , combined to destroy the popular cause . He should probably hereafter make some startling disclosures connected with those parties in the Convention ; for the present it would suffice to affirm that he had not been victimized by the Government so much as by these men . Yes , they had all been sold by these hypocritical villains ; others had been Bold with their eyes shut , but he with his eyes open . ( Cheers and execration . ) He had never spoken treason ; he had always been most particularly cautious ; and whatever his desire might have been , he had always enveloped himself in the mantle of the law ; but , because he had been so cautious , the government Bet their mark upon him , and said ,
' . ' That ia a . d&ngeroas man . " ( Hear . ) As he had previously , BO would he then caution the public against any premature display of physical force . It his advice had been taken the Birmingham riots would never have taken place . He also did his best to prevent the calamities which afterwards occurred is Wales . And yet he had been branded as the most violent man in the country . ( Shame , shame . ) He had bsen imprisoned for a perfectly legal speech at Manchester , and denied the use of pen , ink , and paper , and branded by Lord Normanby as the most violent man among the party . ( Shame , shame . ) It had been alleged against him by a lying press , that he had openly counselled the people to arm , but in truth he had been ever exceedingly cautious how far
he committed himself upon that subject , though he would admit that he had often at night prayed the Almighty to dispose the people to the exercise of a great constitutional right . ( . Laughter and cheers . ) Mr . O'B . having detailed his own sufferings in prison , proceeded to describe the horrible privations witnessed b y him during his recent tonrin the manufacturing districts ^—where witnin a few years , wages had been reduced to less than one half of what they formerly were . ( These statements produced a strong sensation in the meeting . ) Having described the condition of the plundered , he would next , after the mode adopted by the police , endeavour to trace the stolen goods to the receivers , previous to exposing the actual robbers . Mr . O'Brien then in that
masterly and effective style for which he is celebrated , demonstrated that millocrats , profitmongers , and fixed-income capitalists had received tne spoil which knavish-aristocrat-Jaw-makers had plundered from the nation . All the miseries of the people were owing to class legislation and bad government ; and he would undertake to prove against any man , either in England or out of England , —1 st . That the whole of the social evils of England were the result of acts of Parliament , or the wants of acts of Parliament ;—2 nd . That the pernicious acts of Parliament to which he ascribed the social evils were made for the purpose of enabling tke one class of society to rob and enslave the other classes ; and 3 d . He would undertake to bring any man from the body of the room , and so instruct him , that he would be able to place bis finger upon every objectionable statute , aye , and to substitute others in iheir places . ( Cheers . ) The
great remedial proposition he laid down was , that i until the people obtained dominion over the laud , i and ovtr the credit and circulating medium of the , country , there could be no sensible amelioration of i tae condition of the masses . If ever he had a seat i in the House of Commons ( and there he ought to be now , having been le / ally elected for Newcastle- upon-Tyne , he would bring in a bill to the effect , ; that , on the death of every landlord , his estate j should revert to the nation , and the full value of it j should be distributed amongst the heirs—( cheer *)— j and upon that , as the principal , should hang many I more bills which he would bring forward . ( Cheers . ) \ The landlords were , in one way or the other , reoeiv- j icg £ 80 , 000 , 000 a year for property which of right belonged to the nation . He C . \ lr . O'Brien ) would then propose that Government ehould let out the j land in Email allotments , so as that poor men might ; be able to rent small portions of it . Mi . Feaigus j O'Connor had in the admirable series of letters ,
recently addressed by him to the landlords of i Ireland , demonstrated that this was not only practi- ! cable , but that p 2 enty of emploj'ment and of enjyy- j inent would accrue therefrom to the now starving millions . ( Applause . ) The rent which the state ; would receive from the land , bo let out in Email i allotments , would be at least £ 12 , 000 , 000 a year ; i while under the altered system of things , £ 5 , 010 , 000 j would suffice for carrying on the Govenment of the j csnntry . But he ( Mr . O'Brien ) would allow !
£ -20 , 000 , 000 annually for the purpose of carrying on i the affairs of the country and educating the entire ; nation . There would consequently be a yearly sur- i plus of £ 100 , 000 , 000 in the hands of the nation . ; Sow , whai he proposed to do with that surplus i would be , to pay off the national debt . This he j would be enabled to do in thirty or forty years ; for he would sweep sway the usury laws , and not pay over again ibst portion of the debt which had been paid ' over again by the exorbitant interest which had been j exacted from the nation . Bat he could not conclude i
his speech -without something political , and therefore he must impress upon the meeting that the people could Eever accomplish the great object he proposed until they obtained the Charter , There were three things which the people ought to do . They ought to procure 4 , 000 , 000 signatures to a petition / or the Charter before the meeting of Parliament . And they ought at the next general election to hold up i their hands for candidates of their own principles in J every town and county throughout the kingdom , and wherever there was a majority of hands for the can- 1 didates , let all those candidates meet and legislate , for the people . Then they could , in the third place , j refrain from working whenever and whatever length j of time snited themselves . He would just only make j one observation more , and that was That the people in ease of necessity , conld provide themselves with
weapons of defence , and then if they allowed themselves to be shot , all the devils in hell could not save them . ( Loud and long-continued cheers . ) Upon the termination of Mr . O'Brien ' s address , of which from its extreme length , the above is necessarily but a mere abstract , a general call was ( . raised for Dr . AI'Douall ( who had just previously entered the meeting . ) He congratulated them upon having so numerous an assemblage , and hoped that , as the Executive , of which he was a member , had arrived in London , they would be enabled to romove such causes of division as had previously existed among them , ( Approbation . ) He had that evening attended another meeting , to do honour to one who , like Mx . O'Brien , had suffered much For freedom's sake . That meeting had been preoded over by a member of the House of Commons ^ Thomas lJuncombe . ( Loud cheers . ) He ( Dr . M'a ^ ll ) felt assured , from what had there fallen

from Mr . Duncombe , that the Chartists might » from that night forward , claim him as one of themselves . ( Increased plaudits . ) The worthy * Doctor having further eulogised " honest Tom Duncombe , " and announced the Executive ' s determination not to countenance any pwty but that of the great body of the unenfranchised , resumed hiB seat amidst general applause . Mr . Benbow commented upon some observations of Mr . O'Brien ' s , but , as it subsequently appeared that his remarks miscon
originated from an evident - ception of Mr . O'B . ' s language , it is unnecessary to report further . Mr . Roberts , of Bath , followed in a brief bnt energetic address . Three hearty cheers were then successively given for the Northern Star , Mr . O'Brien , and the speedy restoration to their country of the patriots Frost , Williams , and Jones ; and , the customary complimentary vote having been presented to the Chairman , the meeting terminated at a late hoar .

John Rogenon , John Cliff , Joseph Cliff , Joseph Winn , John Barker , William Wainman , George Haywaxd , John Prince , Thomas Butler .
The only absentee * were Aldermen Hall and Benyon , and Councillor Uppleby . The Mayor entered the room and took the chair at twelve o ' clock . When the minutes of last meeting were read and confirmed . Mr . Alderman Tottie in commencing the business of the day , in a complimentary speech , proposed Mr . Alderman P&wson , as a fit and proper person to fill the office of Mayor for the year ensuing . Mr . Councillor Joseph Cliff seeonded the nomination of Alderman Pawaon .
Mr . Councillor Howard had no personal objection to Mr . Pawaon—be believed him to be a highly respectable man , but be thought it waa due to the Btate ef parties in that room tbat for the first time within the put six years a gentleman of polities different to those of Mr . Alderman Pawson , should be elected . Such a gentleman , one in every way qualified for the office , he had the honour to propose . He begged to nominate Mr . Councillor Bramley , as a fit and proper person for Mayor . Mr . Councillor Atkinson seconded tbe nomination , and on the motion of Mr . Councillor Hay ward , the votes were ordered to be recorded-Tbe numbers -were—Fox Mr . Alderman Pawson , 35 ; for Mr . Councillor Bramley , 23 ; majority , 12 . Mr . Pawson was consequently declared duly elected , amidst the cheers of his friends .
The Mayor eleet returned thanks for the honour which had been conferred upon him , and stated that he should take the privilege given him by the Act , by which he was allowed five days to consider whether he would accept the office or not The next business was the election of eight Aldermen , previous to entering upon -which , those who retired by rotation walked out of the room . The retiring Aldermen were Wm . Williams Brown , George Goodman , Hamer Stansfeld , T . W . Tottie , Henry Hall , James Holdforth , Thomas Bsnyon , and Wm . Pawson . The electiea took place in the form prescribed by the Act , namely , by each Alderman and Councillor delivering in \» the Mayor a voting puper , signed by hia own name , on which was written the name and description at full length of those gentlemen for whom he intended to vote .
Mr . Councillor Martin Cawood first delivered his voting paper , and then addressed the Conncil at great length , calling upon the gentlemen opposed to him , as they valued their own consistency , as they wished to act upon tbe principles they themselves laid dotvn—of justice to one and to all , to give hia side of the house a share in Aldermen to be elected . The names he proposed were Henry Hall , Christopher Beckett , William Hey , sen ., Wm . Gott , Wm . Gilyard Search , Charles Barr , Simeon Musgrave , and John Burton .
The voting then went on , and occupied a length of time . The result was that the following list , supported to a man by the Wbig party , were chosen : — Mr . Geo . Goodman , Low Hall , woolstapler .

D 3 rnton Lupton , Potternewton , merchant . Mr . J . D . Lucoock , North-street , Leeds , stuff-merchant
Mr . John Jackson , Headmgley , corn-merchant . The above had thirty votes each ; the highest number obtained by any gentleman on the Tory list waa twenty-four ; the Tories , however , divided their forces , and did not vote unanimously , some of them mixing the names of respectable Whigs amongst theirs , and others voting for different Tories . The Mayor declared the above duly elected . On the motion of Mr . Alderman Hubbard , seconded by Mr . Councillor Joshua BOWER , the Council then adjourned for an hour , in order to give time for the new Aldermen to qualify .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —Until very lately , I and many other persons here have been strongly opposed to tbe principles and doctrines of the Chartists . We had been misinformed as to their tendency , and bad been in the habit of regarding them asaclaas of levellers determined to introduce strife , confusion , and anarehy into tbe country ; in a word we so abhorred tke Chartists that we would not even open a Chartist paper , lest wo might be polluted with the doctrines those papers preach , and the principles they disseminate .
Some time ago , our venerated Bishop , the Right Rev . Dr . Coer , encouraged { we have learned ) by & certain wealthy gentleman , took it into his bead to talk upon the points « f the Charter ; but , in tbe course of hia remarki , he very candidly confessed that the demands of the Chartlsta were anything but what they bad been represented to him , and declared that they would be of infinite benefit to the country , if obtained in a peaceable way . His admission converted many , who were either wavering before or opposed to the Charter ; among the latter class I am one .
I find that Dr . Coer was made , by a vile Tory paper , ( the Galioay Advertiser ) to say that he acknowledged himself as a declared Ministerialist , that is a friend to the present Tory Administration , and that he delivered a withering denunciation against the Chartists . Nothing , Sir , can bo farther from the truth than those two assertions . What he said was , " that the Whigs had the will but not the power to do good for the country and that the Tories had the power , and he hoped when time was allowed them , that they would show that they had the will to serve Ireland . " Tue came foul Tory organ vllifieB the R 9 V . Mr . Macklin , for his attachment to the principles of the Charter . This gentleman long ago confessed to the Chartist agent here , Mr . B . Macdonell , that he himself ( Mr . M . ) saw nothing evil in the demands of the Chartist body , and , therefore , he ia attacked because be did not join in the hue and cry raised against them .
I feol great pleasure in being able to announce to yon that tbe principles of your paper are gaining a fast hold upon the minds of all classes here , and as a proof nf my assertion , I can assure you that it is now as fashionable to califorthe Star , HB for any other paper in our newsrooms , although the members of those rooms consist of Whig ? , Radicals , Tories , Repealers , and anti-Repealers . The letter of Mr . Hayes , from Cork , which appears in the last Star , has brought over very many ; and the other happy declaration made thereon that " Mr . O'Connor would henceforth make use | of no personalities against Mr . OConnell , " now ( and O , the glorious triumph ) Lord Mayor of Dublin . Ah , Sir , what a
strengthening to tbe great and glonous cause of civil liberty would be affected by a coalition between the Irish Repealers and the English Chartists : soon would we behold the happy , the long-wished fo ; consammatiwn , the downfall of monopoly , tbe end of class legislation ; soon would we see the political 1 crusts which now overspread the length and breadth of the land , crushed , destroyed , annihilated . Yea , Sir , we would soon see tbe human hive purged of the drones that revel and fatten upon the labours of the working classes—the industrious bees , by whosa assiduity and toil are filled and replenished , with the honied stores of food , wealth , and riches , all the various ctlls which constitute the great hive of the human society .
That such a coalition may speedily be accomplished , is . Sir , the ardent wish of one who bos the honour to subscribe himself A Loughrea Chartist . Lougbrea , Nov . 2 nd , 1841 .

TO THE EDIT 9 R OP THE NORTHERN STAR . Silt , —Taking a deep interest in every incident calculated to promote or regard tbe progress of tbe present movement for the attainment of Universal Snffra . se , it was with feelings of no common description that I read your report of the discussion between Patrick Brewster and Feargus O'Connor , which took place in Paisley last week . . Tbat discussion is likely to benefit the cause of the people . It will enable them to distinguish their friends from their foes . The result is such as every sensible and well-informed individual might have anticipated . It has proved , almost to demonstration , that though Brewster is the professed friend , he is a real enemy to the progress and prosperity of the movement
All parties allow that it is unmanly and unbecoming to trample on a fallen foe ; but there is one feature of this Reverend agitator ' s conduct that all appear to have passed orer unnoticed—a feature , however , deserving attention , inasmuch as it might , long ere this , have convinced the Chartists of Scotland tbat Brewster ' x professed attachment to , nnd his advocacy of , the principles contained in the People ' s Charter , were insincere ; and it is to point public attention to this feature that I now write to you . Patrick Brewster has for years advocated the justice , propriety , and necessity of Universal Suffrage . He has done so , he says , for the purpose of putting an end to all those unjust monopolies tbat have sprung from , and been upheld by , class
legislation . But of all the various monopolies that have been the result of exclusive privileges , not one has been more insulting to the understandings of the people ; not one has been more irritating to their feelings ; not one more abominable in their eyes ; not one more oppressive to their persons and properties , than the practice of endowing certain classes of religionists , and upholding their peculiar Bystems at the public expense . To one of these exclusively privileged parties , Patrick Brewster is attached . By this ui . just , and monopolising system , he has his wealth . This system of robbery and oppression , legalised by Act of Parliament , P . Brewster cannot break down —cannot abolish single-handed .. But one thing he can do , and one thing bo ought to do , to render his
advocacy of equal rights consistent . He caa throw up his situation in the church , —be can refuse to touch the unclean thing—he can cease to countenance the system of sectarian monopoly which bos ground down and oppressed bis fellow-citizens from time immemorialhe can practically , as far as he is concerned ; put an end to this crying grievance . This he ought to do , to render bis conduct and professions consistent While he lives by monopoly , and advocates the principles of eternal justice , every good man , every wise man , will set him down as one of those inconsistent characters " who say , and do not" His conduct will not bear to be tested by the scriptural criterion , " By their fruits shall ye know them ; " for if tried in this balance , Patrick Brewster shall be found wonting .
If he is really in earnest to see mlsgovernment , corruption , and oppression banished from the land , let him set us the practical example of renouncing all connexion with them or profiting by them . This will evince bis sincerity—bis devotion to the cause of truth and justice . It will raise him in the estimation of the people ; it will increase his influence ; it will proclaim bis consistency ; promote his comfort and command the respect of his enemies . Let tbe preacher therefore remember , and reduce to practice the practical assertion , " tbat example 5 b better than precept" Till this is done , Patrick Brewster must be looked on as the enemy of the pe ^ p ' e , r . nd tie prectical promoter of injustice and oppression .

Sir , —The Chartist leaders of South Lancashire have dt&vjn up a plan intended for the better organisation of the different Chartist bodies in and around Manchester . In this plan there is a list of twenty-seven lecturers ; likewise a list of tbe different towns enrolled in the National Charter Association , showing at one view who will lecture in any of the said towns or districts , each locality paying their lecturer ' s expences , and without boasting I believe we pay them as liberal as any other place , according to their own acknowledgment . Notwithstanding this , and being on the plan to the bargain , we have been disappointed three different times within tbe last six we ? ks , which la a serious injury to our Association , as there ^ r ^*» everal who come upwards of three miles to hear onr letetuws . This is very disheartening , and in fact several of our m&mbers have fallen off in consequence . I would likewise remind the lecturers of their own resolutions , which are attached to the Chartist plan . They are these : —
" W . B . ft is particularly requested that each lecturer will fulfil his appointments punctually , or get them efficiently supplied . " Minute passed Jan . 4 th , 1841 : " Resolved , that no lecturer on this plan engage to go to any other place on those days he has appointments on the plan , without consulting the parties where he is appointed : and that no parties enga ^ o any lecturer without consulting the lecturer appointed on the plan . " Now it is most likely that each lecturer agreed to the above resolutions before his name was entered on the
list Then why nofc be punctual to the letter of bis agreement ? They have no excuse whatever , as they could either send one in their place or write us stating they could not possibly , fulfil their engagements . By this means -we could either find another or announce that no meeting would take place . Hoping this will have the desired effect ; and hoping also that our leaders may set us more practical examples and less in theory , I remain , yours , &c . George Lixdsa . t . Eccles , near Manchester , Nov . 8 th . 1811 .

A VICTIM OF TYRANNY . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —I beg you to state to your readers that Richard Brooks , of Leigh , Lancashire , was sentenced at Kirkdale Sessions , to twelve months' imprisonment , in Lancaster Castlti , for seditieus libel ! A libel pretended to be uttered before the holiday in 1839 . Oh , Sir , there is a charge of tyranny , cruelty , and vjndietiTenes 3 > oa the part of the mrosacutors in this ease , that must , aya shall , come before the -world , I , therefore , request throuf h your journal , that some kind friand in Le ' . gh will furnish you or me , with the full , true , and particular account up to tbe time of Brooks leaving . for bis trial , and I -will forward the farcical but villanoua court part of the business . Poor Brooks has been torn from a wretched wife and family , and what we cannot do , or have neglected to do for him , may be done for htr .
I nave forwarded to Mr . Abel Heywood , sixteen shillings , which was subscribed on her . behalf by the friends of good government in this town . Her situation I know to be deplorable ; therefore , let our mite be added to by the mites of others , and the worst may yefe be avoided . Democrats ! Brooks went ts prison for ye—he went to tbe dungeon more a corpse than the man I once knew him , through his sufferings for your sakes . Do not let the . last withering blow be added to the rest ; for remember a true democrat heeds not the malics of the oppressor—it is the ingratitude of the old associates tbat feiiis . Brooks thinks much of his family , therefore , dp let something be done for them and speedily . Geobge Lloyd . Liverpool , Nov . 9 th , 1841 .

TO THE CHARTISIS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM . Bhothee DEHOCRAT 8 , —The work goes nobly on ; it is impossible to convey to you an idea of the rapidity with which the association is extending .

The zaal of the members is truly very great , they . have to struggle against every obstacle , and are surmounting every diffieaity . Thjmki to oar worthy lecturers , they are performing wonders in spreading far . and wide the sacred principles we are contending for .. ; I now call on the aub-aecxetarie * in Chatham ; Woolwich , Lepton , Dodworth , Cleckheaton , Blrstal , Wolvifltott , Chelsea , Mixenden , Southowram , Northownun , EUand , Norland , 'Siainl&nd , Nuneaton ,

I wish the sub-secretaries to pay particular attention to the foregoing advice , namely , to correspond with me
immediately ; and sneh places as have not taken out their cards are requested to do bo immediately . I also request that each sub-secretary when giving me his address , will write it very plain , and tell me also in what county he resides . This is often aeglected , and causes mistakes , and for the future I expect that all letters addressed to me will be pre-paid . Oar expences for postage are heavy enough without an additional burthen of this sort being heaped upon us . All letters for me , from this date , Saturday , Not . 13 , must be dirtcted as followsjjduring the time the Executive shall be in London : —John Campbell , at X . M . Wheeler ' s , 7 , Mill's Buildings , Knightsbridge , London ; and all monies for tbe use of the Executive must be forwarded
to London daring the Executive ' s sittings in the metropolis . I must make one remark here ; there has been a meeting in Stockport during last week , where it is stated tbat Campbell , the Chartist , spoke in favour of the Repeal of the Corn Laws ; now it must be distinctly understood that I am not the Campbell mentioned , although I am a thorough Corn Law Repealer , but then I do not want the Corn Laws repealed in the way the plague do . Hoping that tbe sub-secretaries will pay the moat strict attention to the hints I have thrown oat , and that every one of ns will use our best exertions to forward the cause ot liberty , I subscribe myself , Yonr Brother Democrat , John Campbell , Secretary .
