      sums . Thsrejare ninety-one Campbella in tlie army , and Wenty-soven in the navy . The keeper of the signet , ( Sir William Danias ) has a greater sum . than the former far his ardona services . We have 600 generals in full pay . "Why , & twentieth part of them would not ' be wantsd in a time of war . We hzA lately ninetyeight admirals , and ouly nine of them on duty . Next comes the law , the judges , commissions , fee . ; who , speaking of commissionsrs , it brought to his mind a . discourse between a poor weaver ana a commissioner , in the year 34 or 35 , at Andertown . The commissioner Bays dont you think emigration would be a good tiling , and much better your condition ? Yes , saya the weavst . The eomnuBaonet noted that in hi » book , and was going away , but the weaver stopped him , aid raid

      " you and me may be dinna agree about the sort of emigration . I would emigrate aU the bishops , half of the parsons , and all such as you . '" He &hat his book and wanted to be gone , but the weaver wonld not let him budge till he had put it down in hia book . The printing of tbe Commission to inquire into the spiritual destitution of Scotland , cost £ 6 Q , QW , but we have net the means of getting to know the salary of the commissioners , but puess it woHld be liberal , by the coat of the printing . There ia more accommodation than ia wanting in the law Churches . Any person 'wishing to go may find & pew for himself , another for his hat , and another fer bis umbrella . He believed the aristocracy were right , when they said distress was not general ; it has not reached them . Talk not about distress , when

      yon can afford to pay such enormous Balanes , ta snch men as the concocters of the nmsacre of Peterloo . ' He thought it would take a magnifying glass of 200 horse power to see any good they , any of them , hare done . They talk of yon desiring to plunder them , when they are gorged with plunder , to gain which thousands ef your countrymen have been led to bleach in the sands of E ^ ypt , the Alps , in Spain , and America , and the energies of the people have been left at the feet of a plundering aristocracy . They . have made cfilces where there was nsne wanting , merely to put tUeif depsildeats into , &i the people's expence ; and it "would tike s pair cf cast-iron lungs ta detail one-tenth of the wrongs they have inflict 3 d upon you . Tho com laws have been passed by them to ketp up their renta . They have taken

      the church lands , the crd ^ rn lands , sad the common lands , the property of the people to their own nse They have made tho tenants of the deep their property , and the fowis of the air must be their ' s also . Tie poor man in th * depth of winter , maybe bis family starving , if he tak * 3 a partridge , or a hare , he ia confined in a felon ' s cell , and his family left to perish Talk not to me \ said he ) of v , sted interests , when we are thus deprived of every comfort ! ( Applause , which lasted for some time . ) The question now cosies , how aTe those wrongs to be righted ? And how can the blessings of God , and cheap Government , be conferred upon ths people ? Simply by giving to each honest , upright man a vote in the choosing the members ef tha Executive of the country . This can only be done

      by the People's Charter . ( Applause . ) Tell me not at lopping off tkis or teat branch of the tree Of corruption , for the same energy would overthrow tbe whole mass . Tbe cry of the Charter is traversing far aud wide . In old Caledonia , the land of his fathers , it was bearing down before it every trammel in its course ; the cry has gone from moss to mountain and glen ; and , come weal come woe , they are determined to be fr ^ e ; wherever be had bee n the cry for the Charter had prevailed . He had beard the trides of Manchester had nailed the banner of the Charter to their flogs . Ireland also was proceeding in tha glorious caass . This cry wUl soon hav * reached eueh a force ,

      btfore whieh faction must speedily fly , never to return . The only thing which can impede it are tbose partial outbreaks which tho people are led on to commit by want . Tkey have already done us much harm . Keep calm , and keep coel : proceed for a short time longer with the same determination you now have , and we will speedily sweep from btfore U 8 the laat remnant of tyranny and corruption Millions are watching the Chartists of England ; and if they fall in their attempt to be free , the chains of slavery will be rivetted there The beautiful structure , be hoped , was rapidly reaching compjetisn , which would stand till the wreck ef matter and the crush of worlds . ( Tremendous applause . )

      Mr . Campbell rose , and complimented in warm terms Mr . Holiday for hia lecture , and the people also for having the opportunity of hearing their cause so eloquently advocated . My friendB , said be , our cause is rapidly progressing ; the spirit of liberty was going abroad , and he deEed the power of any party to atop it . _ 'Tis true they may get hold of car advocates , as they have done with Mason and others , and imprison hundreds ef our btst men as they have done before ; others will spring up to fill their places , and will do so till justice bs meted out to the r > eople . The parsons have done great harm to the canoe , by preaching to the poor , poverty in this life , and plum-pndding in the ntxt ; but they are inconsistent ; thsy wish to go to heaven themselves , and are determined to have the

      plum-padding here also . If their ways will gtt them to heaven , it will make such a place of it , that , for Iiiniself be should not wish to go where they were , and was determined to have the plum-padding in this life , if ie cjuld ge _ t is . Ee supposed all the people in the room were msmbars of the National Charter A » soeiaiion ; if not , he hoped they speedily would be . E 7 try mas can go a man"s part ; and if the Government seerthat yon are really determined to have the Charter they will yerj soon grant it you —( hear . ) They are already a-s-arc of cur strength ; we cau ? ed the Whigs to commit suicide , and buried th ir filthy carcase in the grave they had dug for themselves , and hope , with Gad's blessing , they will never have a resurrection . We have only two patties in the atata—the oppressor and

      the oppressed . We "srant a I » irliainent to grast us tho 5 e , ri £ ht 3 we have been so long in agitation for .
