them , to make these statements , that the public » ight know how to value them . That , however , is their business : we don ' t interfere with it . We by bo means consider poverty to be a crime , nor the receiving of aid in any honourable undertaking to be disreputable : nor indeed does it seem that the Committee do so ; their case being that the undertaking to which they refer was not reputable nor
honest ; bat a compromise of principle , and a Tirtnal sale of such , talent as the market onld command . "Without interfering further with the personal retort of the Committee , than to say that at least it is not surprising , and has esrtainly not been replied to ; we repeat that of the address , as a whole , we most cordially approve , and are happy to commend it to the attention of our readers .
But whilst saying this we must also be permitted one word upon the petty attempt in the fixing of thi 3 address upon , the Northern Star , because " printed at No . 5 , Market-street ; " to establish a general principle which would identify us with every publication that might issue from the press of Mr . Hobsos in the prosecution of his business as a general printer . A more dishonest and disingennouB assumption could not hare been made . " No . 5 , Market-street , " is not " the Northern Star office" specially and entirely . It is Mr . Hobsos ' s general printing-office ,
and he of coarse prints for hire any safe and reputable job that may be brought to him , just as we have no doubt Mr . Frederick . Hobsos , of the Leeds Times , would have been very glad to print the addres 3 in question : however galling its contents might have been to his editorial partner , the profit would doubtless have reconciled him to the job . Surely , then , Mr . Hobsos , the publisher of the Northern Star , being himself an active member of the Leeds Short Time Committee
may print at his office an address from them without its being necessarily " a Northern Star address . " "We note this petty meanness , not because it is worth it , but because it is necessary that the people should keep in mind the fact that the Northern Star 13 not to be identified with , oi responsible for , everything that , in the way of general business , may be printed by Mr . Hobsox . The least thought will show every one that this is right and reasonable .
Leaving the Short Tizae Committees and their ei-devant friend , advocate , and advertising medium , to settle their accounts with each other , we reiterate our call upon the people to nphold the principles which these Short Time Deputies ably and eloquently enforced upon the attention of the Government , ¦ the enhancement of wages , the protection of Labour , and the restriction of the aggressions of Capital upon its rights . We recognise in the operation of these principles the only medium of rational contentment and national enjoyment ; the only means by which the people can obtain their right and fair share of the good things which they bring into existence . We know that these principles will never be in operation until the
people are invested with the power of law-makiDg , held and exercised nnder proper circumstances of security ; we Tecogmsa this power and these circumstances in the provisions of the Chaexes ; and , therefore , since the promulgation of that document , the Northern S / arhas never " agitated , " and while in our hand 3 it never shall " agitate , " for any legislative measure , save the Charter ; the great means to all good ends , social and political . It has ever , and , while we controol it , shall ever , at all fining opportunities and proper seasons , keep fully before the people the discussion of those great measures of relief to the obtaining of which the Charter is invaluable as a means , and without which it would become utterl } valueless as an end .

DECISION OF THE MINISTRY UPON THE FACTORY QUESTION . Is the plenitude of their anxiety to bespatter the Short Time Deputies with all possible abuse , the Whig hacks and hirelings—the organs of the bone and sinew grinders—have most lustily vociferated that the whole thing was a Tory trick ; that the hoax had been " get np" for the purpose of throwing dust into the eyes of the working people , and leading them off tha scent of Corn Law
Repeal j when lo 2 m the very midst of all this jabber and " beslarennent" comes a letter addressed by Lord Asrlet to the Short Time Committees of Cheshire , Lancashire , and Yorkshire , stating that Sir Robert Peel has definitely announced his intention to oppose the Bill for shortening the time of labour in the factories . We learn this from the London papers of Thursday , after our preceding article was written * We jjive the letter : — "London , Feb . 2 , 1842 .
** Gentlemen , —It is with the deepest regret that I am obliged to announce to you that Sir Robert Peel has signified hi 3 opposition to the Ten Hours' Bill and I conclade , therefore , as you will conclude , that hia reply must be taken as the reply of the whole Government on this important question . " Though painfully disappointed , I am not disheartened , nor am I at a loss either what course to take , or what advice to give . I Ehall persevere unu )
my last hour , and so must you . We must exhaust every legitimate means that the Constitution affords , in petitions to Parliament , in public meetings , and in friendly conferences with , your employers . Bu ; you must-infringe no law , and offend no proprieties . We must all work together as responsible men , who will one day give an account of their motives and actions . If this course be approved , no consideration shall detach me from your cause—if not , you must select another advocate .
I know that , in resolving on this prep , I exclude myself altogether from the tenure of office . I rejoice in the sacrifice ; happy to devote the remainder of my days , be they many or be they Tew , as God in his wisdom shall determine , to an effort , however laborious , to ameliorate your moral and social condition . " I am , Gentlemen , " Your faithful frieud and servant , "ASHLET . "
We suppose that Lord Ashley will not be alone "disappointed . " He will have for participators in this painful feeling all the " extension" barkers who have been splitting their throat 3 with ihe cry of "Tory fraud , " "impudent hoax , " "dishonest " move , intended to beslaver the Tory Ministry , " &c , &c , &c . We feel not at all disappointed . We know too much of Sir Robt . Peel to expect anything good from him . We know too much of both factions to expect any good from either of them ; and we hold every indication of their real character to be valuable , as far as it must shew the people the necessity of depending only on themselves . _

ADULTERATION OF SUGAR . Iron the DubFm World of Saturday , we take the following paragraph , descriptive of one of the mtdes by which the now-a-dayB " respectable" trader manages to ehemi a liYiug out of the class he affects to despise , and at the bare mention of whose name he turns up hU nose as he would were a pole-cat stuck right smack under it : — " The manufacture of spurious sugar , by a method which is most unwholesome , vis , mixture with polatoe starch , is carried on in Ma . cheater and Liverpool to a
• enous extent , and a quantity of the article it is suspected has found its way into the shops of some of our Dublin grocti * . The way to detect the infamous com-Pound is as followi : —If a little of the suspected sugar is cempletely dissolved in not -water , and a few drops of iodine be poured into it , the mixture , if the sugar ha genuine , 11111 be of a reddish colour ; but if adulterated -with starch , it wi 1 immediately become a Tery Qeep blue or purple , approaching black , the depth of coluar being in proportion to the amount of the starch . " The World is right as to the stuff used for this adulteration , * but the practice is carried on to a
Untitled Article
much greater extent than he Beems to know of . The stuff nsed is , as he says , potatoe starch , before it is calcined , or made into * ' British gum , " for the use of calico printers . In the ordinary using of sugar the mixture is not apparent : the Btarch being very soluble , it mixes with the liquid , tea or coffee , as soon or sooner than the sugar itself . The starch used for this purpose is ic a fine powdered state ; not " Inmpy , " as the washerwoman ' s starch is . We have been aware tor sometime of the practice here pointed out , and have been looking fora fit opportunity to expose it . The practice is not coahnedto Manchester , Liverpool , and Dublin . It
prevails in Leeds to a tery great extent ! and we have reasoH for saying that it is generally practised by most of the "large" sugar dealers in all parts . We know of one '' house" who not long ago offered to take from a manufacturer ot potatoe starch , forty or fifty tons of the article in an uncalcined state , if he would " put it in" at 2 fdper lb . ; and , a 3 an inducement , the " house" offered to take almost any quantity ; for the first forty or fifty tons would soon be disposed of . The starch manufacturer " could not take less then threepence per lb . ; " bo "the aSuir was off . " The sugar dealer got the starch somewhere else , where the parties could meet him at his price .
Now then , let the reader look here . The sugar dealer buys this stuff at * 2 Jd . per lb ., and he mixes it with sugar that he sells at 8 d . per lb . He thus ells the starch at 8 d . pwr lb . too ! Let us suppose that he gives 3 d . per lb . for -. he rubbish ; and that he disposes of forty tons of the ** ' powder-starch" in three y . ars . He will , by these means alone , pocket the enormous sum of £ \ M 6 . 3 s . M . Ill He will get this , as the difference between the price he buys the starch at , and
the price he sells it for ! and the public will have to pay him this astounding amount of money out of their poor and diminished means , for 89 , ( 500 pouiids of an infamous and unwholesome article , mixed with that which 13 good when pure and alone . And the parties that practice these things are " respectable . " They -are fit to be enfranchised I They are not " ignorant" " uneducated" producers of wealth ; but they are " men of character" ! " men of weight" !! " men of standing" I !! Out upon them ! the highwayman is more houest !!
The World gives a plan by which the adulterated mixture may be detected . We are glad he has done so , and have great pleasure in extending a kn ^ wledge of it . We hope every buyer of sugar to retail amongst the wcTkiug classes , will take care to test the atiicle offered to him b y the " great" dealer ? , before he purchases . He might as . well have sugar for his money as starch ! The former will be more serviceable to his customers than the latter ! The World will be surprised , perhaps , to learn that the major portion of the article used in this
adulteration , is manufactured in Ireland . There is no wonder that " it has found its way into some of the Dublin shops . " There i 3 some little of it manufactured ^ England ; but by far the greater part , both for adulterating sngar , and , when calcined , for use at the print-works , to prevent the colours from running inio one another , is brought over from Ireland . Who it was that first commenced the practice the World now exposes , we know not ; bat , whoever he was , he ought to be completely clued up '

Brief Rules for the Government of all whi write run this Paper . —Write legibly . Hake as few erasures and interlineations as possible . In ¦ KrltiDg names ot persons and places be more particular than usual to make every letter distinct anr char—also in using words not English . Write on l y On ont side of the paper . Employ no abbreviations whatever , bat write out every word in fall . Address communications not to any particular ptrson , but to " The Editor . " When you sit down to -write , don't be in a hurry . Consider that hurried writing makes slow printing . Bemewber that we go to press on Thursday ; that one side of the paper goes to press on Wednesday ; that we are
obliged to go on filling up the paper the "whole week , and that , therefore , when a load of matter comes by tae last one or two posts , it unavoidably happens that much of it is omitted ; and that it ia therefore necessary to be prompt in your communications . All matters of news , reports of meetings , & . C-, referring to ocevtrrences on Friday , Saturday , or Sunday , should reach us by Monday ' s post ; such as refer to Monday ' s occurrences by Tuesday evening's post ; Wednesday ' s occurrences by Thurs day's post ; and Thursday '? news by Friday morning ' s post , for second edition . Any deviation from this order of supply -will necessarily subject the matters se received to the almost certainty of rejection or serisus curtailment , and we take no blame for
it All personal correspondence , poetry , literary communications , and articles of comment to be here by Tuesday , or their chance of insertion for that ¦ week will be very small indeed ; if not here by Wednesday we don't hold ourselves bound even to notice them . Finally , remember that we have only forty-eight columns weekly for all England , Scotland , Wales , and Ireland ; that we have no inttrfcst in preferring one town or placs to another , because ours is not a local but a national paper ; that -we are bound , therefore , in dealing with the masses of matter whick come to us , to hold the scales of Justice evenly—our first ebject being the promotion and enhancement , according lo our otrn lest judgment , tl the success of the great and good cause ; and our second , the distribution of our tim * and space so as t o rive least cause of complaint ;
that we are alike bound to this course of action ky inclination , interest , and duty ; and that , therefore , it is useless and senselets for individuals to fame and fret , and think themselves ill used because thfcir communications may not always be instrteel , or for societies to trouble their heads and waste their time in passing votes of censure upon ns for dtvoting too much space to this , or too little to tb . it , or for inserting this thing which they think should have been omitted , or for omitting the other thing "which they think should have appeared . All these are matters for our consideration , and / or the exercise of our discretion and judgment , which , ¦ we assure all parties , shall be always used , so far as we are able to perceive , honestly for the public , "without fear or favour to any on « , and without being allowed to be turned for one instant from its course by ill-natured snarlB or bickerings .

He gave notice to a person to follow him , and learn if ¦ wan t "was the cause of crime . The mother was nearly in a itite of nakedness , no food , apparel ,
and but one pot in which to make ready what meat they eonld get by chajitj or stealing . This one pot "was on the fire . The person who followed ike boy was anxions to see what was in the pot : the mother strove to prevent its being seen , but was prevailed on to permit it . The pot contained a young "whelp , nearly boiled !

Derby . —— The friends of this- neighbourhood having communications for the Star , or otherwise affecting the Chartist movement , are requested to send them to Mr . Thomas Briggs , care of Mr . John Moss , shoemaker ^ Plumptre-square , Dartey-lane , Derby . Hosky Orders to this Office . —Our cashier is frequently made to endure an amount of inconvenience utterly inconceivable by those who have not multifarious transactions like his to attend to , by the negligence of parties not attending to the plain instructions so often given , lo make ail money orders sent here payable to Mr , John Ardill . Same orders are made payable to Mr . O'Connor—some to Mr . Hobson—some to Mr . Hill—some to Star Office : all these require the
signatures of the person in whose favour they are drawn before ihe money can be got . This causes an attendance at the post office of , sometimes , several hours , when a few minutes might suffice if all were rightly given—not to mention ihe most vexatious delays of payment sometimes caused by . it . Several old agents , who certainly ought to know better , have often thus needlessly inconvenienced us ; we , therefore , beg that all parties having money to send to llie Star Office for papers , by order , will make their orders payable to Mr . John Ardill ; if they neglect this , we shall not hold ourselves bound to attend w them ; if , therefore , they find their neglect to produce inconvenience to themselves , let them not blame us .
Thomas Hcrst . —The reason why we had not a longer report of the l ~ te Slave meeting at the Leeds Music Hall arose from the fact that no information teas given lo vs that " ihe ' people " intended to be present , and take a part in it . It was by the merest accident that our Publisher heard of the meeting , and was therefore enabled to be present . Had the necessary information been afforded to us , the Reporter in the office would have had instructions given to him to attend . As it was , he had not , nor could he have any such instructions . He did ' . learn accidentally oj the meeting , and hurried to it as soon as his other engagements permitted ; but got there just in lime to see the close . The
absence of our Reporter was matter of great regret , and steps were taken at ( he time to remedy it . Before the meeting dispersed the Reporter present who had taken notes of the proceedings , was offered any sum he liked to charge for a full report , for ihe Star . He refused to let tis have it , giving what appeared lo him to be a svfficimt reason for such refusal . Thus were we lejt without report , except a short descriptive one furnished by one of the speakers at the meeting . It often happens that that which is the moat obvious of all duties , getsneglected , or forgotten . In this case , it was clenrly the duly of the friends ^ when they had come to a determination to atUndy to apprise us of such intention ; but " what is everybody ' s business is nobody ' s
business ; and thus things get neglected . We do not blame any one for this omission ; % oe onfy state the fact in explanation , and to obviate any such omission in future . Jakes Penny . —His letter is received . M . A . Smith , Nottingham . —The notice sent can only be inserted on payment of the advertisement duty . W , G . Blatch— To both questions" No . " Mr . Campbfll would feel grraily obliged to Mr . Lunce if he will forward the names of the sub-Secretaries in the following places . viz .: —Ulverstone . Milntlwrpe , Kirkhy Lonsdale , Settle , and Higher Bcntham , to Mr . Candy . Ditto , Kirkhealon , Leplon and Paddock , to Mr . Knoicles
Ditto , Tewkesbury , Winchcomb , Cirencester , and T < llury , to Mr . Mason . Ditto , Nuneaton and Dudley . Sheffield Chartist Yolths . —Nerl week . A Lover of Justice , anxious to see our Whig made widows and orphans above the reach of that grinding poverty which they have too long been allowed to suffer under , writes : — " I think the following an easy mode whereby such a desirable object may be attained , without being materially felt bj any portion of our numerous body : —Our Association now extends to about 3 (« 0 localities , many of which localities have several
hundred members belonging to them , and others have but few . Now I would propose that each locality should contribute , weekly , a sum , varying according to its number of members , any all unritr twenty-five members to pay Id . per week ; above twenty-five and under fifty , 2 d . per week ; above fifty and under a hundred , ii . p ^ r week ; and so on in proportion , reckoning 2 d . for every if ' . y members . This -would produce , I think , a Bum from £ 4 . to £ 5 per week , which would raise taose unfortunate sufferers a >> ove the uncertainty of public subscription , which at best is but a sorry source to be dependent on .
JOHN P . Rodgers— We are sorry he is angry ; but cannot help it . We made no alteration in our Bridgelon report . Mr . William Ironmonger writes us in explanation of a portion oj his speech at the lute mason s meeting in Bath , which he s / iys has been misconstrued by some of the members of the Operative Masons' London Trade Society , He begs to say that the statement alluded to was never intended to apply to any portion of their society . The words in question read thus : — "At last a soeiety of blacks was formed , and Allen thought he should be supported by that body ; but he would find that the j <> b would not be completed by other than Stciely men . " " The society of blacks , " Mr . I . •¦ ai / s , * ' was not formed till long ufterihe above society had been kindly solicited to take
our places , and had mvsi manfully refused ; and I have many limes declared , both in public and private , the noble and manly part their society has taken in the struggle . " Mr Stott , MANCHESTER . —i'l / id day last Thursday we received a letter from this gentleman ( cut from the Dundee Chronicle , ) relative to the charges made by a number of the Manchester Chartists against Mr . R . J . Richardson . The late hour at which it was then received prevented its appearance in that week's Star . This week the letter ( with a few observations upon ilj is in type ; but the press of matter consequent on the London meetings and the opening of Parliament , compel us to rfejcr is insertion to our next . This cannot inconvenience either the writer or the bubject of the letter , as it had been published a fortniaht before it was sent to us .
Ashton-undkr-Lyne . ——Masons Strike . Our Manchester Correspondent received rn Saturday a letter , dated January 27 lh , and signed " .

of a reduction which has been made , they can only earn 7 s . 6 d . at the present time .

MANCHESTEEH . —On Monday evening , a respectably dressed young man came to the Temperance Hotel , kept by Mr . Brown , and obtained lodgings for the night . ' Next morning , he came down , and walked through the house , and it was soon after found that he h&d taken a pair of blan ^ Wets from the bed . He had no bundle in his hand when he went out , and it is supposed ho had them wrapped round his body . Mr . Brown went in pursuit , but the villain could not be found . Anti-Corn Law Frauds—ThbBaiz . 4 . ar Cheat .
—Many foolish persons in Manchester have bVen lately fleeced of their money by the anti--Corn Law League , under the pretence of exhibiting a bazaar , the admission to which was advertised to bo one ahiiling ; and whioh was , of course , expected to entitlo the donors to a view of all the fine things there ; but which turned out to bo merely an introduction to the payment of another shilling ; aa the raree show is divided into three rooms , the first of which the customer see 3 for his shilling ; but is smitten for another sixpence at tho door of each of theothers .
NOTTINGHAM . —On Saturday night last , while Mrs . Smith , news agent , Warser-gate , was engaged attending to her customers , somo person stole , from off the counter , a box containing contributions for the Chartist victim ? . The box was found empty in Rathbone-place , Middle-hill , on Monday morning , by the watchman . PRESTON . —An Examlple wouth Following—The benevolent portion of the inhabitants ot Preston are relieving the distress of the poor , who aro numerous , in various ways- ^ such as selling meal , potatoes , soup , Ac , at low prices ; but some destroy their charity by confining it to such and snob political and leligious creeds . The most worthy exam pie is set by Messrs . Gard nera ,. manufaoturer s . Their mills have always ran full time , kept their hands in full employment ; and , in addition to this , have purchased a large quantity of the very best
rice and sago * which they intended to fee sold to their , work-people * at \\ ' \ . per pound , which cannot be equalled in the town , under 3 id . per pound ; other poor people , from all parts of the town and country soon besieged the manager , Mr . Jordan , wishing to be purchasers . This was complied with , though attended with much additional trouble . AH comers have freely partaken of it at this low price . and been served with the greatest oheerfulnessj without any questions being asked whatever . Would manufacturers lay out large sums of money in articles of food for their work people , and let them have it in this way at prime cost , much good might be done . Only lor ready money , no stopping of wages , or compelling their work people to purchase , as is the case with Messrs . ¦ Gardners , whose conduct is highly praiseworthy , all being at full liberty to please themselves . —^ Correspondent .
HUDDERSFIEIJO .-TUESDAY , —Nightly robberies in this neighbourhood are most alarmingly on tlie increase . Scarcely a night passes without some person being robbed , and in many cases very ill * treated .:- On Saturday last , two or three of those yount ; , yet desperate characters , were brought before the sitting magistrates , and . were . committed . A daring robbery was committed about two o ' clock on Tuesday , i ' u the open market , white the carrier from . Honley was loading his cart , opposite the Boot and Shoe ; he had occasion to leave for about three minutes , and during this short abssree , a man stole therefrom a large package , containing four ends of cioth , measuring upwards of thirty yards each j value £ 30 , and notwithstanding the immediate cry of i 4 thief , " and the most diligent search of the police , h ' . got clear off , and has , up to this moment , eluded their grasp .

^ TOCKPpRT . OLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF THE CHARTISTS OVER THE CORtf LAW ; REPSALERS . Oa Tuesday evening , a large and crowded public meeting of the inhabitants of Stockport was held in the Court House s convened by the Mayor , in obedience to a request of several influential members of the Stockport anti-Corn Law Afrsoc ' ' ° B > to address her Majesty , and petition both Houses oi Parliament for a total abolition of the Corn and Provision Laws . : ' ' ¦ ¦¦ '¦• .. / .. ¦¦¦ ' . ¦¦ : ¦' . '¦ : ; : ' . ... The Mayor occupied the chair ; and , after opening the meeting with a few observations ^ and reading the placard , he called upon some speaker to propose the first resolution .
Henky MARSLAND . rEsq ,, M . P . for the Borough , rose for that purpose ; and , after scanning at some of the leading Chartists , who ; occupied seats near him upon the platform , he introduced a motion to the effect—that , lamenting the prevailing distress iu the manufacturing districts , it attributed that dis ; tress mainly to the unjust taxes on corn and provisiou . He dwelt upon the injustice of all monopolies , particularly upon food ; and called for the union of all classes of society for the purpose of remedying the distresses under which , the labouring populationlaboured . ¦ Sir Ralph Pendlebury , Knight , one of the anti-Corn Law League , seconded the motion with great confidence . He was delighted to see the spirit , with which the question had been taken ap by the public , and the progress it had made upon all classes . The manner in which the anti-Corn Law iiaziar had
been supported on that and the preceding day was very satisfactory ; ' indeed , he' hsd to yvait hah' -an-hour before he could possibly obtain admission to the Theatre where the bwsaar was held . It would strike the government of this country with dismay . Thay could not much longer withhold from the people their undoubted rights . ( Hear . ) The same government had denied the franchise to Manchester , Birmingham , and Leeds — but what was the consequence ! Why the passing of the Reform Bill . There would be euch a pressure in Parliament this session on the question of the Corn Laws , that Sir Robert Peel could not deny the country an instalment towards repeal , and by the next session they would be enabled to get more than they
wanted . AH were alive to the gross evils of the protective system ^ sad the encoHragement of laws which precluded us from the advantages of reciprocity and free trade with other countries who are desirous of taking our goods in exchange for their production ^ . He had the other day commissioned a friend of his in Liverpool to procure him a cask oi South Americaa pork and another of beef . It had arrived in Stockport ; the prico of the article was threehalfpence per pound , but the prohibitory duties had raised the cost to threepence per pound . Now this was a great evil to preclude good wholesome food from coming into this country except at •' rates equal to to the original cost of the article . He could
assure them that the meat was capital aad as good as any meat men need require : He had now a piece of the bacon hanging up in his larder ready for use , aud a particular friend of his who had tastod the meat had pronounced it excellbnt I But the operation of the provision laws , by excluding good meat frbm other countries , kept the price of beef , Sec . in this country at a rate utterly beyond the reach of the labouring classes . He wanted free trade in beef aud other provisions , and everything else , and hoped that the working men had suffered so much by the present distress , which had arisen from the Corn Laws , that they were now prepared to join heart and hand with the middle class to abolish tho Corn arid Provision Laws . . ¦¦ ' . ' . i . ii . ^ . ^ .- -a ^ wSSr ^
Mr . Thomas Clarke , a Chartist , * was as anxioas as any mah for a union and a reconciliation between tke labouring and the middlo classes for the obtainment fromTthe Legislature of justice to all . They had been too long divided ; but it was equally evident that nothing could be beneficial to tho nation unless it had the cordial co-operation of the toiling millions . ( Hear . ) To prove his real desire for union , he would suggest that the proposition which he intended to introduce , should be tacked to the motion , and not be brought forward as a distinct and separate matter as an amendment , the latter being in fact the cause and the Origin ; the motion being the effect . In the absence of Universal Suffrage , bad Jaws had been made , of which the Corn Law was one . Had the people had a voice in making these laws , the evils complained of by the Houourable Member for Stockport , would not now have existed . Therefore , the abseace of political power to
the people was the the cause of the distress ; aad the Corn Laws , which he disapproved ef aa much as any man ^ were the effect . < tlear , ) All that , he desired was that in the proposition which is to be the Voice of this meeting to Parliament , the cause should precede the effect ^—if that was acceded , the union Of both classes was at once effected . Ho proposed " that while we deprecate the Corn Laws as bein ^ unjust and oppressive , we consider them to be the effects of the same cause which brought into existence the New Poor Law . the Coercion Bili . the Rural Policf , and a variety of-other bad Jaws ; and , further that , we are of opinion that there will be no change that will permanently benefit the people until ihey get political power through the adoption of the Peopled Charteras the law of the land . " ( Cheers . ) This he wished to go before the resolution of Mr . Marslands . He concluded by calling upon his friend , Mr . Doyle , the future representative of this district in the National Convention , to second the motion .
... ¦ Mr , Doyle , on rising , was received with : much applause . His Bpeech , which occupied nearly an hour in deli very , was an exposition of some of tne leading fallacies of the day , and was in tffecfc ah able and well-digested address upon political economy , taking in his course the principal grievances which militated against the comforts of the people , aud the property of the nation , until he arrived at the cli macterie and the panacea for all our political evils and imperfections-T-namely , the principles of the People ' s Charter , and the indisputab ; e right of every man , who is expected to obey the laws , to have an uninfluenced voice in the making of them .
Mr . Corpocii endeavoured to reply to the different points adduced by Mr . Doyle , but he lost his way He termed the cry for other , remedies than thai of the Corn Laws " herring traile , ' to divert the people from the real ficent . He repudiated the idea of cultivating waste lands , on account of the great expence ; money would have to be raised at seven per cent ., while the speculation would not yield in return two . and : a half . He declared himself disappointed in the Reform Bill , and amongst those who betrayed the people , lief said the late Henry Hunt
was conspicuous for having retained the rights oi freemen . He said he was : favourablp to an extension of the suffrage , and would go with them if they woHld only help the Corn Law repealers . ( Cries of " We ' ve been done once . " ) He Said he had great confidonc * in the working : people of Stockport , and hoped they would not be ledastray by their illjudged and indiscreet leaders . (" Oh I ") Ho admitted that the repeal of the Corn Laws would not raise wages , but it woald reduce the price of brtad ; arid trusted in the co-operation of the people in the obtainment of this great political right .
Mr . A . Campbell endeavoured to conciliate the two propositions , and told the Chartists if they did not unite they might lose all . Mr . CtiRitE eaid he was willing to meet the meeting half way . If they would gupport his proposition , he would support theirs . The want of Universal Suffrage was the grand cause of all . The principleB of himself and party were " IJniveroal Sufifrage i and no surrender . " ( Cheerg . ) Mr .-IDoyle expressed himself ip similar term ? . The Chairman having conferred with the leaders of the repeal party , saw there was no probabi'ity of a reconciliation , and therefore he should put the
motions . - ¦ - ¦ ; - ¦ - .. ; :- .: - .... . ¦¦ ¦¦ . : ¦' ,..... ¦ ' . . After some delay , on the stow of hands , the Mayor eaid he felt himself placed in a very nncomfbrtabJe situation * He was most anxious to acknowledge the truth . He , however , decided that the motion , of the anti-Corn Law party waa lost , and thereupon declared the meeting dissolved . # The Chartists gave three cheers for their victory ; three for the Chairman ; and three for tho Charter . After which theMeeting separated , HURRAH FOB . "CHS CHARTER ' .

" Allow me to say that , although I -would have supported Mr .

I got a vote of thanks from them when we assembled , and I t ? ld them my coutso in that Convention .
As it respects profiting by agitation , lam quite prepared to appeal to my first connection with Chartism , arid let any one act ever be advanced calculated to establish me as a trader in politics . : I Send this to vindicate myadf from an unfair picture of facts ; the only interest I . wished to serve was that of the cause o £ : politic tl equality ; and actiD ^ under the influence of motiyos quite consisteut with sincerity and rectitude , it can scarcely be supposed that I would tamely sit dovpnand suffer a " statement so palpably false to pass without a contradiction . As your paper . allies itself with .-the . ' cause of truth and justice , I trust it will prove -itselif- the guirdian of both by the insertioii of this reply .
