      HXJKDHE . XOBIOUS TRIUMPH OF PRINCIPLE OVER DELUSION . The anti-Corn Law gentlemen , in acordance with the tactics of the party throughout the country , on liearing the result of Tamwonh Bob's fire months deliberation , resolved to get up a public meeting to denounce the sliding scale , to petition the House of Commons against it , and memorialise her Majesty for the dismissal of the present Ministry . They presented a requisition to the Provost , signed by about 250 merchants , manufacturers , and shopkeepers , and he fixed the meeting to be held en Monday , the 28 th nit ., at one p . m ., on the Magdalen Yard Green .

      On the Wednesday previous , the Secretary of the Democratic Council , received a letter from the Secretary of the Complete Suffrage Association , suggesting a conference between the Council and the Committee of the latter body , in order to come to an unanimous resolution on the Suffrage , as they understood that that question would come before the meeting at the conclusion of the Corn Law busines ? . The council had previously resolved to move amendments to any resolution that might be submitted to the meeting , pledging them to agitate in any way on the Corn Law 3 ; and , at their meeting on Friday evening , preparatory to the conference with the * Sfcurge party , " they resolved to adhere to their former decision : and five members were appointed to

      oonfer with the other committee . On their meeting , th p Secretary of the Complete Suffrage Association said they wished to know what course the Chaftists intended to pursue on the Suffrage being brought before the meeting . He was informed that they in that matter wonld be guided by circnmstances ;—that in the even ! of a motion being submitted for complete or universal suffrage , it would be met by an amendment for the Charter , aad that the Chartists would not agree to any resolution for any thing less . A copy of a resolution was submitted to them which received the approbation of almost ail tne members of the Gomplete Suffrage Committee . This matter , tijen , seemed to be settled , but thea came the question of questions . * Bow do youintend to act on the Corn Law

      question ! " asked the Complete Suffrage Patriots . (?) There was the " rub . " They were told the course intended to be pursued by the council—a course which the Sturgites considered to be" very unwise , very ill-judged , and calculated to injure the cause of Chartism . " The deputation of course gave an opposite opinion ; it was policy they bad successfully pursued with great advantage to tfeeir cause , as was evidenced by the formation of Complete Suffrage Associations among the middle classes , whe would not have gone that length had it not been for the opposition given to the anti-Corn Law movement by the Chartists . Tfle deputation wished one of the other party to move , second , or support the resolution , which was of a sort agreed to bj ' . hoth . parties ;

      but none being present who would undertake to do this , it was agreed that six of each ComnHitee fihould meet on Saturday evening , to make the final arrangements . They met as agreed upon ; but instead of settling ab&nt speakers , the' time was spent in discussing the policy of opposing the resolutions on the Corn Laws . The Chartists still adhering to their former resolve , the meeting broke up , the Complete Suffrage men declaring that the conference would do more harm than good , as they thought it would break up their association ^ The greatest excitement prevailed on Monday ; by twelve o ' clock , the streets were thronged with working men , hurrying to the scene of action ; a fixed determination to standby the right visible on their honest

      open . By one o ' clock , 16 , 000 or 18 , 000 persons were cocgregated rcmsd the hustings . Edwakd Baxter , Esq ., was unanimously called to the chair . He opened the business by commenting on the conduct of magistrates , their refusal to preside , and the holding of the meeting on the Magdalen Yard Green , instead of the High-street , during this inclement season of the year . He contrasted the conduct of Provost Lawson , the present chiefmagistral * , in refusing to preside over such an important meeting of tne whole inhabitants as the present cenveaea by himself , and the conduct of the Provosts , Hackney and Johnstone , who , when they convened a portion of the inhabitants only presided at the ¦ meetings . He read a letter lie had received from the Town Clerk , stating that the magistrates

      cad learned that otner business than that mentioned in the requisition , was to be brought before the meeting , and that an efE-ry of Sir Robert Peel was , to be paraded through the streets , and afterwards burned in the Market-place , and expressing their disapproval of such proceedings , and holding him responsible for the peace of the town . He had returned for answer that he knew nothing of the effigy until that moment ; that he saw it in the Btreet , and that the magistrates should now , as always , be prepared to preserve tie peace—( cheers ) . He then stated the business of the meeting , " enjoining- them to preserve order , and promised a fair hearing to all who wished to address the meeting . < = Mr . Axexaxdeh Ealson , manufacturer , in a Epeech composed of the usual anti-Corn Law arguments , moved the following resolution : —

      "" That tins meeting considers the sliding Ecale of duties on foreign grain , proposed by Sir Robert Peel , as an insult and a iRockerj to the patient and losgsnfiering people ; and thiB meeting believes that the Government would not have proposed such a measure had not the patience of the people , auder their wrongs , indneed the aristocracy to believe that they would submit to arjy thing however oppressive and unjust . " This was seconded by W . G . Baxter , Esq ., who apologised for the absence of his brother , through indisposition , who intended to second the resolution . Mr . Johx Dcscax stated that he cordially agreed with ihe latter part of the resolution—the patience of the people had emboldened others than the aristocracy to oppress them . The resolution was passed unanimously . The Rev . Mr . GrtFiiiAH , in one of the most ludicrous and bombastic speeches we ever had the misfortune to listen to , moved the following resolution .

      " Taat tea meeting declares its conviction that the essential food of man is exempt , by the laws of nature and Providence , from all liability to restriction or taxation ; and that every interference "with its "free exchange for the honest industry of the labouring classes is immoral and irreligious . " The Rev . Mr . Spencb briefly seconded the resolution , which was agreed to . At this stage of the proceedings Daniel McEsven , Esq ., writer , was appointed clerk to the meeting . Thomas Sacsdess , E ? q ., merchant , in moving the next resolution , declared his conviction that justice would never be done to the people without -a change in the representative system of the country . The resolution was as follows : —

      " That a memorial to the Queen and 3 petition to Parliament be presented from this meeting , in accordance with these resolutions , the memorial to the Queen praying that her iiajesty "sill dismiss from hex Councils , lier present ilinisttrs as altogether incompetent and unwillin g to conduct the affairs of this great nation on the principles of justice and humanity . " Seconded by D . McEwrrt , Esq ., who declared tba * he was as great a Reformer as any man present ,. ye refused to officiate as clerk , because he anticipated an amendment being proposed . David retired amid the disapprobation of the meeting .

      Mr . Jobtt Du 5 CA > " then came forward , and was received with loud cheers . He reviewed the speeches of the previous speakers , especially the effusions of the parsons , amidst lond bursts of applause . He characterised them as hypocrites , for standing aloof from the agitation for the righrs of ihe people , yet joining the manufacturers in their cry for cheap bread . He earnestly called upon the people to stand firm to their principles , and concluded by moving the following amendment to the resolution : — " That it i 3 the opinion of this meeting that the many evils of which the working classes of Britain have to complain srise principally from class legislation , and will continue to exist , in one form or another , until

      the whole male poptslstion above twenty-one years of age , be in possession of the right of electing men to represent tbem in the House of Commons , according to the plan of representation denominated the People ' s Charter ; and , being convinced that" the repeal of any bad law would fail to remedy the existing distress—( sn long as the power of law making rests in the fcaada cf ihe middle and higher classes alone )—and that It -would be a profligate / waste of the means and energies of the peoDle , and a mockery of their miseries to agitate for anjtaing short of the full measure of their rights , hereby resolve to agitate for the enactment into law of the * People ' s Charter , and to give na countenance or support to any movement for a less measure of justice . "

      CGreat cheering . ) " Mr . W . Davidson seconded the amendment . He ¦ urged the people to be firm and Tely upon themselve '? , as they could expect no support from euher "Whigs or Tories-Mr . Peterkis supported the amendment . . The Chatbmajt then took the vote , -when the hands of the vast multitude were raised for tie amendment , and few , very few indeed , against it . The Chairman declared . theamendmertcarried by a large majority ; we should say by at leas : fifty to one . His announcement of the vote wa 3 received ¦ with rapturous applause , which lasted for some minntes . The Chaibmax wished to know if Mr . Duncan intended to embody the resolution in h . petition .

      Mr . Dcscax said he had no objection , and moved a resolution accordingly . The anti-Corn Law party then insisted thattfce spirit of all the resoluiions should be embraced in the petition . This was objected to by the Chartists . After-some discussion , Mr . Duncan withdrew hi ? jBotioa , aaA ^ Mr- Peterkin , Jan ., movpd the adoption ofapentwlembracing the spirit of all the resolutJOOS , which was seconded by Mr . Ales . Yonng .-; Jfc / THOMAS Akdersos moved that there be do petition , which was seconded by Mr . J . M'Phehson . i SllfflttOtion was supported by Messrs . Wightos aai Hitszeb .

      On being put to the vote , Ihe axneadment was carried by a large majority . A clerk being required to draw up the minutes of ihe meeting , Mr . John Hunter and Mr . James M'Pherson were severally proposed . On a vote being taken Mr , James M'Pherson was elected by a large majority . After a hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman for his impartial conduct in the chair , and three cheers for the Charter , the meeting quietly dispersed . This was truly the most important meeting held in Dundee since the commencement of our agitation .

      On its decision depended the existenoe of Chartism in this quarter , and it has really decided this . It has strengthened us , secured our supremacy as the leading and only political party , and verified the prediction of the Complete Suffrage seers , for it has not only destroyed them , but laid the last clod on the grave of the poor " corn craikB . " Add Dundee to the list of victories . Right has obtained over might ; let those who have not yet met the deluders follow our example . On our return from the meeting , we beheld the foolish display of tho burning of Peel ' s effigy . Faugh ! Is this the " respectable" mode of agitation t

      SINCERITY OF THE ANTI-CORN LAW LEAGUE MEN IN THEIR ADVOCACY OF CHARTIST PRINCIPLES Evert week , and almost every day , is now big with events tending to prove that our advice to the people to " take care of themselves" in the proposed and eagerly sought for alliance of their new f"rien < is , the Corn Law repealing " Extension " men , vras founded on a clear and right view of the character of these worthies . In our last , wo noticed a great public meeting at Wolverhampton , in which it appeared from the fate

      of the resolutions , of the speeches , and of the whole proceedings , that " the entire animal" had been bolted without the least wincing . The Charter was acknowledged in the first resolution to be the first thing necessary to be gone for , as a means whereby relief from unjust legislation was to be had . The resolution was moved by one of their first-rate men ; it contained no reference to any distinct agitation for Corn Law Repeal note , but referred to the Charter as the thing to be obtained . Here it is : —

      " That the distress under which the people of this town and district are novr—and havo been for so long suffering—is caused by . the iaws which restrict the importation of food ; that the ministerial proposal for the amendment of these laws adds insult to injury by its moekery of relief ; that the certainty of such amendment being carried by ihe majority of the members of the present House of Commons , is a proof of the necessity of putting an end to these and other evils of class legislation , i > y such extension of the franchise as shall secure to all ranks of the people that full , fair , and free representation , as defined in the People ' s Charter , to which on the principles of the constitution they are entitled . " The only other resolution , a memorial to the Queen , was of a precisely similar character ,

      praying : — " Taat , as your petitioners have been denied justice by the House of Commons as at present constituted , they beg that your Majesty will take such measures as shall secure to your people a , full , fair , and free representation , as defined by the People ' s Charter . " This memorial was seconded by a Mr . Keitle ; and a very pretty Chartist kettle he bo : Ied . We

      have not read a more excellent Chartist speech thia long time than than this same Mr . Kettle ' s speech , as reported in the " Plague ' s" organ , The Staffordshire Examiner , save that it smacks a ketle too strongly of Balllib Jahyey ' s " het poker . " That from a newly converted Whig is a thing of course ; and it was beside so nicely " Devilled off" that it might pass , upon the whole , for a very capital initiatory Whig-Chartist introduction to the school of peaceful agitation . Take a sample of it from the

      Plague ' s organ : — "From all he had witnessed during bis time , he was now convinced that the representative system was defective ; and that nothing but a full , fair , and free representation of the people could lead them to hope for any justice . The legislative aud executive in this country were ba 3 ed upon the principle , of aristocracy , and that alone . Labour was the only property not recognised by the constitution . The principle of aristocracy had been tried and found wanting , The intelligence of the age had condemned it . The aristocracy had cried "no surrender . " Let the people shout back again "to the principle of aristocracy no quarter "—( loud cheers . )

      The repeal of the Corn Law would give them the key of the cupboard ; but Universal Suffrage would give them the key of the whole house—( great cheering ) . They had that day fully and fairly taken up that question ; and it would be for them to say whether thay were to go on with it—( cheers , and cries of " , yes ") . Let them remember that they had tried the constitution , and thepinch-poinfrmust come soon . They all felt that they were upon the eve of great events—( hear , hear ) . Men had begun to contemplate things that were not talked about . He was not an advocate for physical force ; but there must be a mighty change , or the bonds of society vf ill be broken asunder . "

      Now wt ask gravely if a fairer seeming could be asked fjr by tho people than that which this meeting exhibits of a hearty co-operation of the " plague" men with the Chartists , a determined effort for " full , fair , and free representation"' I So adroitly were all thi ngs managed that Duffy who was there = aid that : — " He aud his brother Chartists had come there that day determined , if any trickery- had been practised , to move an amendment : but when he saw

      men coming out honestly and justly , as the gentlemen around him had done , to obtain their rights then he would Bay all opposition ought to cease—to be buried and forgotten for ever . He would say , let them be peaceable , loyal , and just , above all things ; and constitutionally attend to their own rights . Let them go / orth , and they would obtain the Charter . Le $ every man present join the Charter Assiociation . He was proud to sae the unsiiimity iliat prevailed amongst the middle and working classes of this town . "

      Certainly if anything betoken unanimity , and be calculated to give the appearance of sincerity to the proceedings of the " Plague" men , this meeting did do so . What is the fact ? What were its results ? Did it end in the whole be ^ y of " respectable" middle class " Plague" men going down to tho Chartist rooms and enrolling their names as members ? Weie the subscription lists to all the valuable public Chartist machinery for keeping up the agitation for , and -ultimately securing " full ,

      free , and fair representation , as defined by the People ' s Charter , "' immediately swelled out with the contributions of their new-born allies , that the mutual desire might be speedily accomplished 1 Not a bit of it ! It ended in Mr . Kettle's going down to the Chartist Room to tell the people honestly that his speech in the afternoon had been " all gammon ; " ihat Jiotwithstanding his hatred oi c iftsy legislation , and his anxiety for the principles of the Charter , he had no purpose to bave any . other connection with the Chartists than to use

      them as tools for the carrying of Corn Law Repeal Hear him , a 3 reported by the " Plague ' s" organ : — " Mr . Kettle proceeded to state that he was reluctantly compelled to harbour such misgivings as to prevent his formally joining the National Charter Association , until he should " be better satisfied as to its Executive . He told them that he held in . his hand a pubiicaticn bearing the authority of Feargua O'Connor , which convinced him that that individual was an enemy to free trade , and one by , or with whom , no Corn Law Repealer , desiring to adopt the Charter as a means to an end , could consent to be led or allied . Mr . Kettle then proceeded to read and comment on several of the extracts from the

      Untitled Article

      Northern Star , which will be found in our leading article ; and concluded by declaring that , as he could not consent to attach himself to a party by whose recognised heads the motives and efforts of the free traders were abused , and by whom free trade itself was condemned , he most receive ah unequivocal assurance that the Chartists bound themselves to no men ( Feargus O'Connor , or any one else , ) who pursued that course ; but that , on the contrary , they renounced the influence of all such persons , before he ( Mr . Ktttle ) would complete the compact at issue . "

      Now , whether is this fellow a greater knave or fool ? He professes to seek the Charter as a means to an end ; that end being the repeal of the Corn Laws ; he avows his conviction that the Corn Laws cannot be repealed until the people have that "full , free , and fair representation , as defined by the People ' s Charter , to which they are entitled by tho Constitution ; " he avows his conviction that the Corn Laws produce all the distress of the country ; that they must be repealed , and that they never can be repealed until the Charter has been got ; and yet he refuses to go for the Charter , because Feargus O'Connob , and the Northern Star , and some other parties , have denounced the "Plague" as insincere in their agitation ! Could he have furnished better evidence of that

      insincerity ; at all events as far aa he is concerned ? If the Charter be the only means for Repealing the Corn Laws , and if the Repeal of the Corn Laws be the one great thing wanted , what need he care about any misoheivous influence of O'Connor and the Northern Star ! Surely the whole League , with its mighty array of " influence" and talent , and wealth , and its many , very many "best possible instructors , " are more than sufficient to counterbalance any nugatory influence which might be exercised by one man and one newspaper ! Where then is the mighty boggle ? The rogues know that they dont mean to go for the Charter at all ; that they mean only , if possible , to " gammon the flats , " and

      they know that while the influence of Feabsus and the Star continues they can ' t do it ; they will be too closely watched ! Hence the organ of this Mr . Kettle , the " Plague" man—the Staffordshire Examiner ^ —in the very same paper which reports this meeting , occupies four mortal columns , exactly oneseventh part of his whole paper , with a laboured and most villanously Jesuitical justification of the course pursued by Mr . Kettlh , designed to quieten the consciences of the more honest of their followers , and to persuade them that though they voted for the Charter , and . introduced it into their memorial to gull the Chartists ; that though they have : —

      '" Apparently ( the italics are his own ) extended the right hand of political fellowship and bent tho knee of political obedience to the disciples and paid agents of the monopoly-supporting Feargus O'Connor—to the approvers of the blood-spilling Frost , Williams , and Jones , and to the perpetrators of the Tory-fermented disturbances at anti-Corn Law meetings . * * * * ? * The rational and consistent Reformers of thia borongh aro no more Chartists or less resolute Com Law Repealers than ever they were . "

      Now , then , Chartists ! what say you to your new allies ? Did we not tell you that they were " pigs with soaped tails"I I Wolverhampton is not the only instance of this honourable dealing of tho new converts to Chartism and "Complete Suffrage . " At lluddersfield , in Jike manner , they sought to carry with them popular support by uniting tho Suffrage with the Corn Law question , in precisely like manner—as a means to an end . Their sincerity here , as at Wolverhamp * ton , appears in its true light when viewed iu connection with the following plaoard , plentifully distributed on the day of meeting * : —

      " Corn Law Repealers . —Whatever resolutions you adopt this evening , respecting the Suffrage , take care that you do not let that question tako the place of Free Trade and Cheap Bread . If you should sink agitation for the Repeal of the Bread Tax , in agitation for the extension of the Suffrage , that Tax , ¦ with all its disastrous consequences , must continue for some years . But if yon can honestly aud cordially unite for an agitation of tbp two objects distinct , tou are sure to succeed in getting rid of the bread tax in a very short tim « . "

      However , the Huddersficld " lads" met them well and bravely ; their " Complete Suffrage" humbug , with which they hoped to get in the thin end of the wedge , was rightly shivered by Clayton , with his amendment" That it is the cpiniou of this meeting , that to secure a real , 'full , free , and fair representation of the whole people in the Csmmons' House of Parliament , ' the whole of the principles contained in the People's Charter , viz : Universal Suffrage , Vote by Ballot , Annual Parliaments , No Property Qualification , Payment of Member ? , aud Electoral Districts , must become the law of tho land , the whole of which are requisite and necessary to secure a real aud efficient representation . "

      The people showed that this was their opinion by leaving the humbugs with just four hauds to clap each other , and keep out the cold for their " Complete Suffrage" move . The thin end of the wedgo having been thus disposed of , Clayton again let fall the sledge-hammer of Chartism upon the thick end by moving , as an amendment to Mr . Copstack's motion for a continuance of the Corn Law agitation , " That the agitation for the whole Charter take precedence of all other agitations . " This floored the hypocrites at once , and left honesty triumphant . So let it be in every place and our cause is safe , and liberty shall shortly greet us with hor invigorating smile .

      We are happy to perceive that our counsels have not been slighted . The people have , in almost every place , recovered the falso step they made in one or two places , of joining with the traitors . Tne Merthyr Tydvil people , at a full meeting , held on Monday evening , resolved" That every approach towards an union with the Corn Law League must be regarded aa a direct step towards a betrayal of the Chartist cause ; and that every public meeting which neglects to affirm the adoption of tho People ' s Charter as tho only remedy for the distresses of the people must bo considered as compromising the great right of the working classes to a share in the making of the laws . "

      This is the true position for the people ; and tho only safe one . And thongh in one or two places the English Chartists have suffered their national failing of good nature and unsuspectingness to betray them half into the toils , the Scotch lads are " wide awake " to it . All glory to the men of Dundee 1 The " canny Scots" have done it well ! We havo seldom been more delighted thau we were on reading the report which appears in our present paper of the utter overthrow , discomfiture , and annihilation of the " corn craiks" by the "bonnie lads" Dundee . They were , indeed , well met ! Every fold of the foal serpent was laid open—every trick

      foiled ; a more perfect triumph could not have been obtained ; nor do wa ever remember to have seen a display of more wily and well arranged tactics than those of the Anti-corn Law men on this occasion . They first felt their way through the modium of their friends , the " complete suffragists "—they then tried t : the artful dodge" of moving resolutions merely de uunciatory of the evils of bad legislation , without pledging even to any future line of condust , in the hope of getting tho blind side of the meeting by embodying , not the resolutions , but the spirit of tie resolutions , in the memorialthe formal voice of the meeting ; which would have

      enabled them to breathe into those resolutions the foul spirit of patchwork , in the form of an exclusive or unduly prominent prayer for Corn Law Repeal . It was a deep trick , well played , and cleverly stopped . We fear nothing , for tho people with so much quickness and good sense about them , as this and the Huddersfield meeting jhew . We defy any set of sophists , or tricksters

      in the world , now , to " palaver" them out of their watchfulness . They will keep to the right road , and they will compel all travellers to go with them or stand out of the way .

      " What breast-plate like a heart untainted ? Thrice ho is armed who hath his quarrel just , And he but naked though lock'd up in steel . Whose conscience'with injustice is corrupted . " ; Brother Democrats , —* It is my painful duty toaddress you upon matters appertaining to myself ; a . t ; isk to the man of sense always unpleasant , but the more so , when , as in the present case , duty , tot only to myself , but to the cause of democracy , demands that I should speak of others also , who are employed in sapping the strength of our organization , by calumniating the characters qf those in whom the people confide , and look up to as their leaders in their struggle for right and justice . ;

      A few remarks upon the proceedings at the late meeting in Paradise-square , are necessary ; at that meeting Messrs . Otley and Gill supported a resolution foi universal suffrage and the ballot ; I seconded an amendment for the Charter , whole and entire ^ which , thanks to the sound principle and sterling honesty of the people was carried by a triumphant majority . By way et excusing themselves for the false position they had taken up , Messrs . Otley and Gill stated that the resolution which they supported had been promised support by myself and others , and that we afterwards retracted that promise ; that they ,, Messrs . Otley and Gill being honourable men , ¦ valuing their reputation and their woird , ¦ would no * do the same , hence they supported the resolution . Now hear the facts of the case . ' . ' ¦ : : - ' . ' '¦¦¦ \ ¦• ' . , ¦' . ; .. ^ ¦ ¦¦ "'

      It is true that on the Tuesday eye preceding the meeting in the Square , a hasty and reluctant assent was given by certain members of the council to the said resolution ; but the folly of the step was seen almost as soon aa taken , and at a general meeting of the council held next day , it was resolved that the sense , of the Association at large should be taken that evening , ; and that , in the hiterim , the hafcty and ill-advised decision of the previous evening should be annulled . A meeting of members and fHonda of the Association took place in the evening , at which there could not haye been less than fiya hundred persons present , when , ¦ with the exception of three or four individuals , the said resolution was unanimously condemned , ; and it was resolved that an amendment for the whole Charter should be proposed whenever the meeting ( not then announced ) shouid take placa .

      Mesam Otley and Gut condemn the council . having first promised a certain thing and then retracting their promisa . The doctrine of these gentlemen is , that the council having dono a certain thing , no matter ¦ whe ther right or wrong , the Association ia bound to submit ; a doctrine more Bubyersive of the " sovereignty of the peeple , " was certainly : never yet broached by Whig or Tory . Suppcsa we had a House cf Commons elected by Univereal Suffrage , who , in their legislative capacity were guilty of some erroneous or tyranical act , according to Messrs . ptley and GiU the people are boucn

      to submit because they have elected that House of Commons . I think different ; my creed is , that the people can never be divested , or divest themselves of their natural and rightful ibyereignty , and that when their representatives fail to do right it is the prerogative of the people to over-rule their decision . Acting upon these principles , the Council submitted their vote to the Association ; by It that vote wa « condemned Th 0 course to ' be pursued was marked put by the Association ; and , in taking the part myself and others did take in tke Square , we but obeyed the voice , and carried out the will of the people .

      Messrs . Otley and GiU would f \\ n have had you believe tbat it was : ; a high sense of honour on their part that compelled them to support the Whig-concocted resolution ; to believe them , they expected help instead of opposition from myself and those who acted with me . Sweet innocents I What aie the facts of the case ? ¦ ¦ . . ¦ - - . ¦ ' - ¦ ¦ ¦ . ¦ ; ' .. ¦ ¦¦¦ . ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦¦ ¦ ' ¦ ' - ¦' ¦¦ '¦ ¦ - ' ¦ ' ¦ . ' ¦¦ On Wednesday , the leth , ( two days before the meeting , ) by half-pasi two o ' clock , Mr . Otley had placed in his hands a letter stating that the Council had annulled the vote of the preceding evening , and that the whole matter would he brought before the Association . In the letter Mr . O . was ; . requested to summon his Council or Association for that evening , to know the decision of the Assot Lit oa meeting in Fig-tree lane . Here was due notica given to Mr . Otlty that the vote of the previous evening had been rescinded by the Council , and that the Association would probably do the

      same . What did Mr . Otley do ? Did he come to the meeting in Fig-tree Lane , to leirn tha mafiinenis bf the people ? No ; but a meeting Hxu ' held at' the " Political Institute , " and the parties there aMeiabled were , by Messrs . Otley . Gill , and Co ., pledged to sapport the humbug resolution . ; . , " Bat Imaintaln , that independent or the dedaion ' Of the Association , the council was not bound to abide by its original vote ; that vote was agreed to upon certain conditions , the conditions were , that the Corn Law Repealers , as a body , should give their support to the resolution ; was those conditions fulfilled ? NO ! True the resolution was supported by Mr . Palfreyman , ( where , —aye where is Holberry 7)—by the illustrious Mr . Wardle , by the patriotic Mr . Harvey , of Chartist

      Camp-meeting notoriety , who lias been " all things by turns and nothing long , " and by certain " go-betweens , " to wit , Mr . Newimove" Allen and ^ Co . But , di « Mr . Ibbetson and the other " great guns" of the Anti-Corn Law men promise their support of the resolution ? ( Mr . Ibfetttsonwill tell you , you are " too ignorant for the suffrage . ") Did the body of the Corn Law Repealers promise thsit support ? Did , or will , their organ the Independent , give the resolution its support ? No I / no , ' j H-re then the original conditions were not compiled witb . Messrs . Otley and Gill knew this ; what humbug then on their part it was to talk their high-flown stuff about " honour" and " Teptttation , " wheni as their acts testify they were consigning yon over to the Whigs , who would deceive and betray yon again , as once too often they have done before .

      I have now a few words with Mr , Gill particularly To believe this gentleman he is the moat disinterested of politicians , and altogether above the thought of living by agitation , or . accepting of anything from the people in return for bis very important services . I do not think this gentleman worth any recrimination on my part , or I might show that Mr . Gill's services have not been , and ate not ; of that disinterested character he would fain have the public believe . ; ' : : ; Mr . Gill thought proper to denounce me as being the paid tool of Feargus O'Connor . On the spot , and before he had time even to turn round , I challenged him to meet me at the close of the business for which the meeting had been convened , and there make good , if he could , bis insulting calumny ; bat , where was he when called for ? The bird was flown ; like someajrial sprite he had vanished ! " Tell it not in Gatb , " the valiant denunciator bad prudently withdrawn by a back dosri "' ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦'¦ " ¦ ¦ . , ¦ ¦ ¦ - "¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ . ' '¦ ; ¦ ; '¦ .. - : . ' :- VV ' . ' j ' :- ..:,

      -My friends , it is quite true , that I am employed by Mr . O'Connor aa reporter * or correspondent for the Noiihem Star , an occupation ef which I am not at all ashamed .: I ; maintain I have as much right to receive payment in return for my services , as any cutler has to receive his wages at the close of his week ' s work . What sort of a tool I am to Mr . O'Connor , I leave you to judge , when I solemnly assure you that during- the six months , I have filled the situation , I ajt present hold , I have not received a single letter , or solitary line of a letter from Mr . O'Connor . Mr . Gill ha 3 boasted , in h ! a / private coterusa , of what he could do—and what he would do ; that he could makeinea pill I would not swallow , &ct &c . I now tell him that my publie and ; private character will both dare and bear comparison with his . I repeat my challenge , if he has any charges ta prefer against me , let him meet me in Paradise Square , and there , before the great body of the peeple will I confront him .

      Mr . Otley ; too , has made " more free than welcome " with my name ; but , wiser in his generation than bis Mend Mr . Gill , he baa confined bis slanderous statements to bis own shop . 1 know that he has repeatedly slandered nio iia being , or having been " in the pay of the Tories . " V' ' v ; - . "¦ ¦' . / ¦/ ¦;/ ; . . - ¦ : ;; ' ; -. : At last i have the means of naming time and place . In hia owni shop j en Tuesday , the 16 th of February , he there stated , in the presence of the under-named persons , " That Harney , and other Chartist leaders , were , or had been , in the pay of the Tories ; that he strongly suspected O'Connor was in their pay ; and always had suspected it since he wrote bis letters to the Irish landlords . " . / . ' . ' . ' ¦ . '' - '¦ - ' ¦ . . . ¦ The persons who will testify to the foregoing , are Messrs . Clorkson and Fry , of Sheffield , and Mr . Win . Jones , the North-Riding Lecturer . : : I shall ba very brief with ' 'Mr . ptley ; I defy him to prove the truth of his dirty calumny .

      Lstme whisper a word of cautiou to Mr . Otley . If his contemptible cry— "in the pay of the Tories '' is continued to be raised against honest men , it may be that the parties raising that cry , will themselves be suspected by the people of being in the pay of the Wliiqs ! . ' ¦ " :.. '' . ' :- ' ¦' : ¦• ¦ : ¦ ' ¦ ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ' . ' ¦ " .. ' . - '¦ ' ' " . ¦¦ : ¦ - . Brother Democrats , why am I slandered as being fi in the pay of the Tories ? " Because 1 will not do the pirty work of the Whlgp . Why am I denounced as being the paid tool of Feargus O'Connor ^" Because I will not be the " tool" of the humbugs who would sell you to the bloodiest and most hypocritical' of factions that over cursed a country with their existence .

      Friends and Brother Chartists the foregoing will have shown you that while the blows of faction ate seemingly aimed at me , they are intended to strike down one higher and of more importance to the cause toao myself ; it is your incorruptible , unflinching champion O'Connor , whom these factionists would destroy . Thank God tBey' will miserably fail . But " to be fore warned is to be fore-armed . " Can these men be Chartists who would destroy him who has braved the storm of persecution , and resisted every seduction to betray you ?

      No , brothers , no ; his enemies and denunciators are not to be trusted , they are Whiggiah to the hearts'core . Look at the Independent of Saturday last ; see the contempt with which those who really represented you at the Paradise Square meeting are treated ! ybile Mister Otley and Mister Gill are held up as the leaders of " the intelligent division of the Chartists of Sheffield . " I . wish these gentlemen ( the aforesaid Misters ) joy of the raptures they must feel in the embrace of their new " doxy , " the loathsome old hag , Whig gery . ' .- ¦ ¦ . ; ; .,: ¦ .. ' . : " : ¦ ' - ' .- ; : ' ; ' - :- ;\ .

      Brother democrats , from the first day I set foot in Sheffield , to the present hour , my destruction has been sought by the faction meeting at the Whig trap , alias the Political Institute . I have tried concession and conciliation too long . Henceforth , I treat them as ( what T take them to be ) enemies of the cause and of tpyself . With my past public life , and my every : act and word , since I became a resident in : Sheffield , to testify to my integrity , I hurl defianee in their teeth , aud rely ' with ¦ ¦ f ullconfidence upon the support of the people , in whose sei-vice I have struggled and suffered , whose cause I have never betrayed .

      To conclude , never in the annals of our movement stood Chartism in the proud position it now occupies ; but beware ; lest this seeming hour of our triumph should be the hour of our fall . The middle class are becoming converts to our principles . Good * But ; see that they become real , not sham converts . If they propose to go with you . for one jot less than the whole Charter , bavei nothing to do with them . I they swallow the whole Chatter , but make it a secendary object to the Com Law Repeal , have nothing to do with them . If in joining you for the Charter , they tell you it

      is necessaiy " to get rid of your present leaders , " have nothing to do with them . If they are honest they wj 1 join you for the whole Charter ^—they will consent to make it the one object of agitation , aa a means to an end--and , lastly , they will be content to fight under those who have been elected the leaders of the people . The middle class are powerless without us . The question then is , Ehall we put forth bur giant strength merely to serve the interests of a class , or to wrest by one God-like effort the " rights of man , " from those whose empire is built on tho " wrongs of man . " Can you hesitate I No .

      Men of the working class , your delivery is in your own httuds- ^ the freedom or slavery of millions yet unborn hangs upon your breath . By every principle of virtue , by all your hatred of Blavery , by all your hopes of freedom , by all your loye of country and children , I invoke ysu to be firm , unflinching—in short , to do your duty . For myBelf , I nail the flag of "No Surrender" to the mast , and though the good ship Democracy should sink beneath the fire of open enemies and treacherous friends , my last cry , ringing above the waves of popular delusion should still be " Vive , vive la-Charte ! " :. . . ' ¦; ' ,: I am , Brother Democrats , Faithfully , yours , Georoe Julian Harnet . Sheffield , Feb . 22 nd , 1842 .
