Was it to "be endured that in this beautiful land , blessed by fee Great Giro ? of all -with , almost unbounded fertility , they sbould be in tbeir present miserable position ? Tali erf West Indian of East Indian , or of African slavery J Let them look to the Nerfh of England , and they vonld find they ^ ere in a far "worse positionthat the African slave "was far happier than the intelligent mechanic If this was to continue they had better return to & state of nature ; but let them only ooneentete the intelligence and the energy floating among them—let them persevere in this good erase , and they -would go on conquering and to conquer . They -would indeed make the land , in the -words « f the poet , *• Great , glorious , and free . " - _
He acknowledged that they -were ignorant , or they vould never have so long consented to allow another class to reap all the benefit of their indnstry . But they ¦ would endeavour to wipe off this stain frem their character . They wished not to uproot or to injure any class of society—they wished not the poor to make laws to oppress the rich , but to hinder the rich from oppressing tha poor ; and if they possessed the minds of Englishmen , if they possessed a spark of the spirit which glowed in their ancestors , they wonld yet raise themselves into the proud position in -which they « ught to be placed ( great cheering . )
Mr . Feat stated that it was quite unexpected that tie was called upon to speak to the toast , but it had been so ably entered into by the last speaker as to leave but little for him to say . The simple language of the toast spoke volumes . It embodied & great and important fact—that the labourer was not justly rewarded . Those who ereeted the splendid mansions , those who decked in their splendour the royal palaces , who created the magniflcience which adomed the royal table , who manufactured the beauteous volumes which graced the libraries , which pervaded tha habitation of the aristocracy , were themselves involved in misery and degradation . Even in his own trade many of those whom he now saw around him with smiling faces , had a few weeks previous known the ill effects of
povertyhad been ground down to misery and want , from & want of employment What was the cause of this anomaly , but that they had allowed a class of society to make the laws by which they applied the fruits of their labour to their own venal purposes , and thereby kept them in ignorance and degradation , and endeavoured to brutalize their minds , and then taunted them with the ignorance they had themselves created . If they wanted labour to ba rewarded they must have a voics in the legislature . Those who had the power of voting wers those who had accumulated property , while poverty was confined to those who were destitute of this power . The toast also mentioned Ireland . Her sons had also suffered misery and poverty to even a greater degree than the people of England , and it
was the duty of both to unite t * remove the oppression ¦ under which they groaned . Did they ever hear of the aristocracy quarrelling among themselves ? Why then weretae working men thus disunited ? He did net believe that the trades' unions had been completely successful in the object they had in view , but they had done much good , and he despised that man , who , While he was calling out for political privileges , was working under price and ruining his brother tradesmen < ( Great cheerier . ) He despised the man who , while living on the hard earnings of working men , would denounce them for endeavouring to protect their labour . He believed that Trades * Unions were the fathers of the present political movement , and he hoped they would form one mighty Trades" Union for
ike attainment of their long -withheld rights . What right had a class of men to live upon their only property—their labour ? Theytilked about the right of capital ! Labour was the capital of the working man , and yet all the other classes lived in idleness and profiigacy upen the labour of the ssns of toil , and perverted the wealth thus obtained to the shameful purposes of bribery and corruf tion which Air . Roebuck had so well _ shewn up in the House of Commons . One great advantage of the Tories being in power was the creation of a strong Badical party in that House ; and , if they were backed -up by the people , they would ¦ increase to a imai greater degree thin at any previous period- It hsd been throtra in their teeth that they were for despoiling of property I Was it likely they
should destroy that which they had laboured to create ? 35 al no state "was sife—there could be no security for property , trnleEs the institutions of the country produced happiness for the people—nnless wealth was so distributed as to create plenty amoegst those who had created it , provided they did net themselves put a barrier to it by crime or laziness , but it generally happened that the most intelligent and industrious ¦ were the worst remunerated , because they were chiefly connected with mechanical pursuits . They had been taunted with ignorance . As far as the trickery of legislation went , they must plead guilty to that charge ; tt&y had been educated mechanically , and not sufficiently political ; they knew more about a jack plane than about the trickery of politics , or they would have
betn b « tter cf £ He was far from blaming them for this . He thought the manner in which the working men were now endeavouring politically to educate them-Ealves was an honour to them . ; they had broken do-wn the barriers which excluded them from pslitici Aftrr a hard day ' s ton , they were to be seen wending their way to political meetings ; they were rearing up a young democracy that would in time render England the envy and admiration of surrounding nations . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) He was happy to see the manner in whkh the females had taken up this ¦ question . It had been said that there had not existed a great or good -myt who bad not a wise mother : and
it was cheering to fhinfc that they should soon have a generation of young Chartist Radicals—( hear ! . It had been said that women had nothing to do with politics ; bet they had to do with whatever sffkrted their interests , —and politics greatly affected them . Let the f emales . unite their moral force mth that of the males , and they would speedily attain their object without physical force . He was opposed v > anything like physical force until every moral means had been fairly tried . He believed that even if the Charter was gained , so long as the competitive state of society existed , trades unions would be necessary , and he thought it was-the duty of every man to belong to them .
The teast was then drank upstanding , with three times three-Mr . Rowe responded to the toast by a song suitable to the occasion-Tie Chaibmas id introducing the next toast made some excellent observations regarding the protracted struggle of the masons , and clearly showed that if they had been in possession of political power , the-strnsgle would never have been protracted in the manner in which it had been ; neither wonld the masters have been supported by the Government and the aristocracy as at present
Dr . M'Docall had great pleasure in proposing the following toast : —" The Charter ; may it speedily became tha law of the land , and may all classes of society have spirit and resolution to protect and defend their independence against the potrfcifal attacks of unbridled ambition . " Appearing among them as an invited guest , he trusted he should be acquitted of any intention of obtruding his opinions npon their attention , or of occuping that time -with politics which was usually devoted to more general subjects . It was with great pleasure that he always addressed any trades' body ; bat he fait more particularly honoured upon the present occasion , when the orject for which they had metthat of assisting the aged and tfee infirm—an object so great , bo worthy , and so good , engaged iheir attention ,
hs could no » suppose that one man present on this occasion would obj- ^ ct to the introduction of a subject calculated to give happiness , prosperity , and liberty to the whole population of the country : he did not beliere one among them would object to the toast of the Charter , which alone was calculated fully to protect labour . If labour was properly protected , wonld the son which was now shining bo brightly on them shine upon bo many broken hearts—so many hut 3 of misery and distress ? Why was it not always with them like the present hour , positive happiness and joy ? If there was one present who thought that bis labour was fully protected , he would point Mm to the splendid palace he , perhaps , bad assisted to erect ; to the grandeur and beanty of its fretted pillars ; to the
magnificence and splendour -which reigntdwithin ; and then look to the destitute borags of those who had created this splendour . Look at another part of the b * oy whom he had the honour of addressing—the shipcarpenters , those who reared the splendid Enip which walked the water like a thing of life ; look at it in its Tough Etate as the trunk of a tree , every pl ank having to be adapted by the hand of labour , every bit of cordage , every spar , its mighty anchor , all had to be ¦ RTou ght by the hand of these despised beings , tfcte ¦ W orking men ; look at the whole of the vast and wonder ful productions of man ' s labour , and amidst all these splendid achievements of indnstry , have you not to go doWa to the tomb of your forefathers and record yourself a slave there , in bitterness of heart , to
fall on your knees , and acknowledge that the history of the labouring classes is one vast record of misery and degradation ? It is against this system , caused by c 3 ass legislation , that we , as Chartists , are waging "fc ' arfare ; against this oppression we will direct our Baergies until we destroy it . He certainly belated k > the middle class of society himself , but the -. . - aiaeryand distress he had witnessed had compelled him :, -to adTOdta the rights of the working men . He had : - ia his own time witnessed the direful fate of the - - hand-loam weavers ; he had seen them a happy and ;_ - intelligent ace of men ; be had seen the ran shining ? " - _ with beauty upon their cottages by the hill-side ; he had seen their cheeks flushed with happiness and joy ; :- .- - bat , # wiag to the present vicious system , he had also - - -. seen them in misery and wretchedness ; the cottage on
• - : « ie hill-aide had gone to ruin in many places ; the - plough had gone over the spot , and as a class they were :-v Bow . reduced to the lowest verge of human misery . - .. If this had been the fate ef a large and once prosperous Class of Eiea , had not every other trade reason to expect a repetition of the same scene , and were they Hot ia duty bound to * X £ * t themselves in making a pro-.: ; - Tiaon against it ? You have been told lhat we are for ,-, destroying property . What property is to be compared id . value to your labour ? Is not the cause of more laxportasce than the effect ? Fet the effect is protected and the cause is not protected . A house i » protected by l * f and so is the owner cf the house . A ship is psotected , and so is the owner of the ship . But , :. . although there was 40 , 000 Iaw 3 to protect property , ~ fcai he knew of no law to protect labour , not a sin-

gle enactment to protect the creators of this wealth —( hear , hear ) . He looked upon labour as being of the highest importance , and he wished to see that labour protected by law . Tho 3 © who accused them of wishing to destroy property , did not believe the charge in their hearts . Heeoald easily account for the sensitive feeling they displayed } they knew that by having political power , they had been enabled to rob the working classes , and they supposed the Chartists , when they obtained the same power , would nse it in a similar manner , and rob them ; he could easily enter into their feelingB ; they were somewhat similar to those of a thief who had stolen a coat and got it on his back when he met the owner of it . They demanded political to protect their
power labour , and to relieve it of its present burdens ; the aristocracy had weilded their power for the benefit of a class ; they had plundered and robbed the working class to raise themselves to affluence and eminence on their ruin . No body of mea were watched by Government and by the rich with a more jealous eye than the trades' societies ; they were fearful of their taking a part in the present political struggle ; the effect of their petition of three millions and a half of fcignatures , had been to arouse the whole of France , and the whole of the Continent of Europe to the importance of the principle they advocated , and he could not suppose for one moment that tne trades of this nation would not respond to the call , that they would not perform their duty at
this i mportant crisis . He believed that ere long they would come forward to a man to obtain political power . Did they not feel the necessity of this power to put down the combination and the corresponding laws . Why were they compelled to have trades' unions at all but from the fact that the laws did not protect them ? and they were oompelled to resort to this measure to protect themselves—to obtain that which the laws denied to them . The Chartists were seeking to give to them that power which would enable them to obviate the necessity of establishing societies for the protection of the aged find the infirm , out of their 6 canty means . The Charter would enable them to destroy those evils which embittered the happiness of the cottage , and
it would give to alia due protection for their labour . As the ladies present were desirous of entering into an agitation peculiar to themselves , that of danoing , he would not occupy mnch more of their time , but would impress upon them the necessity of procuring those rig hts which alone could place them in an independent position . No class in society performed similar duties , and yet no party were in possession of fewer rights . The aristocracy performed no duty to society save that of consuming what others produced . The middle class produced nothing ; they only exchanged over the counter what the working men produced . The lawyer performed few duties that ^ might not be readily dispensed with . The doctor might have much of his employment
dispensed with if society was properly organised ; they would thus see that if strict justice was done , the working men producing al ) , performing all the important duties of life , were entitled to greater rights than any other class ; but they did not desire this ; they desired equality of rights to all . He sbonld leave the subject to their judgment , expressing hi 3 earnest wish to see them armed with political power , to see the Charter gained , not by force or bloodshed , but gained without intimidation to the rich or injury to the poor ; without foreign invasion or domestic strife ; without the palace rafters being in flames , or the hearth of the poor man ' s cottage destroyed . Let them unite in the struggle , and endeavour to gain by moral and intellectual force , by bringing to bear tie full weight of the tide of public opinion . Day after day , year after year they were advancing with rapid strides . The
House had rejected their pstition ; the House was no longer worthy of their respect : they had denied to them what was granted to the greatest criminal —the right of a hearing . The next step would be to appeal to the throne ; to tell her Majesty firmly that the affections of the British people , could only be ensured by full justice being done to them ; and that their affection was of more value than the gewgaw spectacles of the palace ; and that unless justice was rendered them they were not bound to preserve their loyalty . The course they intended to adopt was first , to present a remonstrance to the House ; second , to appeal to the Queen ; and lastly , to themselves . He again called upon them to unite in the glorious struggle for equal rights to all ; their character as a nation would then be exalted , and firmness given to the institutions of the country —( . zre&t cheering . )
Mr . Hatkes of the British Statesman , said there was one sentiment expressed by Dr . M'Dousll , which he thought peculiarly applicable ; it was ivhy were they here to protect themselves , but because the law did not protect them ? they had been enjoying a good dinner , and they might ask why politics were allowed to interfere with it ? Did they have one dinner out of the other 364 , in which politics did net interfere with its cursed bread Iaw 3 , beef laws , and other bad laws , and if they allowed the Government to interfere with their dinners on 364 days , it was but moderate vengeance to have one day for their own politics to interfere . No one could properly understand the toast unles 3 they entered into the vibrations of misery which were
breaking the hearts of the working classes ; but they might be told that the Charter was a new thing ; so was Peel ' s income tax a new thing "; eo was the tariff and the sliding scale ; the Bishop of Jerusalem , whose salary we should have to pay , was a new thing ; but we could not know the merits of the Charter until we had tried it . The old institution had been tried and found wanting . The Charter was- only a returning to the old principles of the Constnutios . If you ask me what or where is the Constitution , I frankly tell you I dont know , neither could the doctor with his phys-ological knowledge tell me what or where the soul is ? but , still he would tell you that it existed ; so the political constitution , though I know not where it is—it means happiness
to all who live under its protection . Some apology has been made for trades' unions—is there not the Army Club House , and the Navy Club House , and the Carlton , combining the vices of the two . And why should you not have your Carpenter's Club , involving the honesty of neither , and excluding the vices of both ! That great distress was in the cotmtry was admitted at length by Dr . Morrison Peel , though he could not prescribe until he had received his fee . Peel and the Archbishop ' of Canterbury have now informed the Queen that distress exists in the conctry . He supposed Albert conld not talk English fluently enough to tell her , so they were now going to issue begging letters in the Queen's name to the clergy , to raise subscriptions . He
trusted that the officers of the mendicity society would keep a sharp look-out for these begging letter impostors . He did Hot blame Peel exclusively . Melbourne was equally as bad— "sure ? uch a pair was never seen , how happy could we be withneither- " He trusted that tho people would step in their majestic power , and by ridding themselves of both , place the God of happiness amongst the household gods of the people . When the news arrived of tho fire in Hamburgh , in fifty-six hours upwards of £ 12 , 000 was subscribed for their relief ; and the subscription-sheet was headed in the following manner — " We , merchants and others , having an iirr-rest in the trade of Hamburgh , " &c . Dur ing the la-1 winter how many of the working classes had empty
cupboard- - —how many endured every descrip-ion of misery ; yet yon heard of no £ 12 , 000 subscribed for them . It followed that the merchants and others iad no interest in them . Mr , Haynes then congratulated them upon having the physical-force—the torch-and-dagger Dr . M'DGuall among them—him whom the Government had found necessary to put in gaol to keep quiet , and inquired whether he had uttered any sentiments to which they did not cordially respond ! If the Charter became the law of the land , they could hold a festival similar to the present , not once a year , but . once a week ; they could have their intervals of relaxation in the same manner as those rich rascal 3 who now frequented Bath , Cheltenham ,
and other such places . Mr . Haynes concluded a loDg address by showing the progress the cause had lately made , and impressing upon ihe ladies present the necessity of following ihe example of those who went about collecting funds for the poor blacks , and the wicked heathen , things good enough when . our own population were happy and comfortable . He was sure that if the ladies adopted the plan of having a nice little black bag , with a subscription book at the bottom , they would manage the trading portion of the business much better than the men , aad their accumulations vrould be devoted to the noble , the humane purpose , of raising the human family from misery and oppressian to happiness and prosperity * ( Cheering . )
The toast was then drank with three times three , and one more . Mr . Bradbear enlivened the company with appropriate harmony . The Chairman , after some appropriate remarks , introduced the next toast . . Mr . Gotobed stated that he had been called upon quite unexpectedly to speak to the following toast , M The United Societies of Carpenters of Great Britain and Ireland , and may their efforts be concentrated in their central board in London , for the establishment of an asylum for their aged and infirm members , be crowned with success . " He had been a member of their trade society in London for nearly twenty-seven years , and he had often felt surprise that no society of this description had been
instituted . ' If any of them should live long enough to be old what could they expect as their fate ? He had been a labourer in this cause many yearg , and he knew not how he should spend his latter days , but he felt assured they had but little to expect from any party but themselves . . It was their duty , then , to set about raising subscriptions for such a humane purpose . If they depended for an asylum from other partie ? , they wonld be bitterly deceived . Those amongst them who had battled in defence of labour ' s rights would experience but little mercy from a race of capiialistists , and machinery had go fardeteriorated the value of manual labour as to leave them but small hope 3 of providing an asylum for them is old age , save by their united subscriptions . Some gentleman had supposed that when they had a change

of ministers they would also get aa alteration in the Poor Law Bill , but Graham had now undeceived them , and unless they adopted the plan of procuring an asylum by thoir own exertions , they would have nought to expect in their old age but the horrors of a Poor Law bastile . Mr . Pbyok had great pleasure ia supporting this toast , but before entering into the subject he wished to contradict an error into which their Chairman had fallen , and one which he knew he wonld be glad to correct . Having presided over the two last meetings , politics , he could assert , were no new feature in their meetings ; he need only appeal to their exertions in the Combination Committees to prove this . It was trae they were not gifted with the
eloquence of Dr . M'Douall , or others who had addressed them . - They were better acquainted , aa had been observed , with the use of the jack plane , than with political speaking ; the active members of their society had ever been aware that their prosperity depended npon the correct distribution of political power , and that those who held political power , had ever been able to tyranise over those who possessed it not . Witbregaxd to the toast , when they reflected upon the number and intelligence of the carpenters ' body in the metropolis , and upon the liberal manner in which they had evfr struggled against every species of oppression , was it not surprising that they had bo long allowed those who had expended their bodily energies in the course perhaps of a long
life , to die at last in a union bastile 1 He was sorry that the resolution did not include females . They equally 8 hared in the dangers and cares of thislife , and were equally entitled to protection in their old age . Mr . Pryor then dilated at some length upon the benefits which society derived from the female sex , and concluded by earnestly calling upon them to shield their aged members of both sexes from the horrors of a workhouse , where they were separated from all that was near and dear to them , enclosed in a dismal building , where no eye could see them . Had not many rushed even upon suicide to avoid this fate . ? No nobler work could employ their
energies than to raise an asylum to protect the aged , the infirm , and the unfortunate among their members . Mr . Poster , clerk to Mr . Chandler , builder , of Boar-lane , stated that his employer was anxious to assist them in this laudable undertaking by a yearly subscription , and he knew that many other masters would also be willing to aid in carrying out this object . It was also announced that Mr . Hill , tool maker , of Gray's Inn Lane , would assist them by a yearly subscription . The toast was then drank with three times three , and Mr . Thomas responded to it by a suitable song .
The Chairman then introduced the next toast" the Ladies "—by informing them that Mr O'Connell had stated at a public meeting that he should never have been able to have carried Catholic Emancipation but for the energies of his wife . This showed the importance of females everting themselves in this cause . Mr . Cbawlev then proposed , in a brief and pithy manner , the following toast : — " The Ladies ; and may they see the necessity , and endeavour to instil into the minds of their offspring the spirit . of exertion and independence . " Mr . Thomas had great satisfaction in epeakiDg to this toast . He thought it was a duty incumbent upon them to advocate the cause of the fair sex . The mind of man was never so fitted to respond as when under the influence of the near and dear ties which connected him with woman .
The toast was then drank with the usual honours , and Mr . Rowe favoured the company with a soag . The Chairman , in introducing the next toast" The Democratic Press "—stated that the editor of the Statesman , and the reporter of the Northern Star , were present ; these papers had nobly defended the interests of the working men , and he trusted they would support those papers . A full aecouiit of that day's meeting would be contained in them on the following Sunday , and h 9 trusted every man present would purchase the one or the other . If it was not for the aid of the press , meetings like the present would have but little effect ; but now their proceedings and their speeches would be conveyed to all parts of the kingdom . Mr . Robert Prior , in a very excellent address , proposed the following toast : —•• The Democratic Press of England , and may the working Classes of England support those papers only which advocate their Rights /'
Mr . Haynes , in speaking to the toast , stated that he trusted they should ever deserve the support of the public . He was pleased that the Chairman had classed the Statesman and the Northern Star together . It was his desire that they should battle together for the attainment of the People ' s rights . He knew of no paper which he could better take , as a model than the Northern Star , which since its commencement had faithfully supported the interests of the working men . The Dispatch realized a profit of £ 30 , 000 a-year from the working classes , and he knew of no reason why papers , advocating their rights , should not prove equally as successful as the one which had vilified them as a body , and refused insertion to their statements , on the occasion of the mason's and other strikes .
Mr . Wheeler spoke at some length to the toast , and eulogised the conduct of the Northern Star , as being the honest and consistent advocate of the working men . He was glad to see the change that had come over the spirit of the press since the presentation of their petition : he hailed with satisfaction the establishment of every journal which would truly advocate the rights of labour , and trusted that the British Statesman would remain firm to the principles which it now advocated . The toast was then drank with three cheers . Mr . Johas Wartnaby proposed the following toast , which was carried amid loud cheering : — " The speedy liberation of Frost , 'Williams , and Jones , and this meeting pledges itself to use eiery exertion in favour of this object . "
Mr . Wheeleb proposed the health of the Chairman , and exprefsed his high opinion of the liberal manner in which the day ' s proceedings had been conducted . This was carried unanimously . The Chairman , in an excellent address , returned his thanks for the honour conferred upon him . The ball-room was under the excellent superintendence of Mr . Cook , and the amusement of dancing was kept up by a very crowded assembly to an early hour , when the company separated , highly pleated with the day ' s proceedings . Our reporter cannot conclude his notice of this meeting without returning his thanks for the liberal manner in which he was invited , and also for tho excellent arrangements which were made for his accommodation .

Richard Spoor , of Whitburn , one of the Sunderland / borough magistrates , and Mr . Joseph John Wright , of Suriderland , solicitor . It is understood the point of difference arose out of . Mr .

The Childbbn ' s Employment Commission Heport . — " I will conclude thia letter by a few words about the most extraordinary , inhuman , barbarous , butvt-ruly philosophic speech , which wa 3 , as I believe , ever delivered in the bearing of human beings!—a speech in which the most terrible tortures , praqtised upon women , children , and infants in our coalmines , were palliated and extenuated ! I deeply regret that the audience were British Peers ; I mourn that the speaker was a noble philosopher of our own county , whose name wag , when I was a ; youth , the spark which lit the hearts of patriots into a flame ! How are the mighty fallen !—how is tho fine gold become dim ! What havoc has covetousness , ' that passion for accumulation , which has no limits '—what havoc , ^
has that spell from the regions of darkness made onthe character of our raca ! Howhas it brutalised some even of our nobles I That book of murder TheFirst fiepprt of the Children ' s Employment Commissioners , ' has caught tho eye of Earl FitzwiUiam : he lias read it ; and having eurrendtred himself to the principles of philosophy ; he does nofc shudder at its contents * but inhis place in the House of Lords , if he ib not misrepbrted , he has coolly asserted , amongst other things , 'Thai tho narrowness of some of the coal seams in somd of . iho pits rendered it necessary that persons ; of , small size ( . why not ' say at once infants of three or four years ola and upwards ?) should work them , I' What would his Lordship think , if , when the tables are turned ( as probably they soon will ba under the
new tariff ) , his grandchildren should be ; thH 3 tortured and oppressed ? The being " vvhix can palliate tho < srime of woTking infants , as they are described by the Commissioners to be worked in thpsr narrow ' eeams , ' may be a philosopher ^ and a nolle ! s , man he . cannct b& ! Let , my fate be what itr may ; I shall ever rejoice that God has counted iao ^ worthy to be an . instrnmont in arousing the attentfoh of the people and the Government to the condition of the infantile slaves , who ara the fbnRdation and the unhappy victims of cur grand manufacturing ^ and ^ commercialoperations ^ ! The truth is now told—England knows it ; and although x-. wise philosopher , a , proud Peer of Britain , may assert that it is Iseckssaky , ' justice pronounces it to be a ¦ damning chime 1 " —Oastler ' s Fleet'Papers .
Trades' Unions . —The following address , published by the Bl&ckbum Chartists is wonhy of seriou 8 considevalion by artisans of tho kingdom generally : — "To the various trades and 3 ocieties of . Blackburn . —Friends , —It is time that all trade 9 and societies were united in one great-- ; -union ' , '"' for the purpose of obtaining those political privileges which are your birthright ; those privileges which only can raise you to that position in society you ' ought to occupy , and which only can secare to you a fair equivalent for your labour . The object for which trades' unions were formed was to protect the labouring man , to keep up his wages and to prevent his maator from exercmng an undue influence over him ; and on theni thousaads of working men have placed their
confluence . Have they realised tho objaos for which they were formed 2 kept up wages or protected tho rights of the working man ? Let the impoverished condition of the operatives of this country answer the questions ; they do indeed stand aa bulwarks betwixt the oppressed and the oppressors , but have failed of their intended effects . Has not reduction after reduction taken place in your wages 1 your labour has been left unprotected by the JawSj and in consequence has continually decreased in value . New . inventive powers of production which ought to be blessings to all classes of the community , have been but death peals to the hopes of the working man . The prcductiye power of the country has increased lo forty times the amount of the power in existenoe
in 1770 , yet the real producers of wealth , the persons who have filled our markets and granaries , and glutted the country with abundance , are starving ia the midst of plenty . The strange auomaly Gf too mucli of every thing , and privation and Buffering , afflicts British society . Instead of the woikiisg man , after having ; prodnced all tais abundance , being able to enjoy the f ' ruit 3 of his labour , or when old age creeps on to find a home among tha green fields of his 0 W 11 native land , he is forced to emigrata to a foreign country ,- or be incarcerated ; in a bastile . Friends , wo couccivo the cause of ail the evild to be class legislation , the interests of the few are promoted in direct opposition to the interests of the many . The working people have produced all those luxuries which exist in such , abundance , but by nofi having ' a voice in forming the laws , th y are prevented from eujoying them , and : taxation without representation is tyranny , and ought to be resisied .
Friends ,, the Cnarter has been projected and it 3 golden letters displayed to the people , ytt tho mass have hesitated to advance ; if the trades would declare for the Charter , their high moral position , mental capacity , and general information would immediately insure its adoption . ; 'Arise then and organise ! rally round the standard of freedoic , strikeat iharoot of our grievances ( class legislation ) make the Charter the law of . the land , give labour its due reward , and England will yet be the adiniration of the world , a model to surrounding nations . Then let the trades unite with the National Charter Association ; let one jireat blowbd struckatthe citadel of Qorruptiori and it will bnry ; beneath its ruin the oppressor of the working man . The commitVce meet every . Wednesday evening at Mr . Asyden ' s , the Temperance Hotel , Dartren-street , and any information xcqin ' red may be had by applying ai \ he above hotel .
