      fSE LATE STRIKE , ITS CAUSES AND EFFECTS . gKLSG XRB STTBSTAffCB OF A LECTURE DELTTTTBtm is L 8 XD 0 X BT JOBS "WAXKISS . ^

      ( Condaded . ) ¦ yftio i 3 there thsi hears of the lives of his fellowj ^ stnras being taken by the command of these who fcad before deprived them of the means of liriag—who y ^ t bears thai ¦ working-men , with large families depe ^ " *^ n P ° n iiiem > bave been shot , and their breg ^ preven ted from meeting to express pity foi their kjj- . jrao that hs&n of these things , bat mast akhor jke * y stem nnder which they take place—bat mut yresr that be will not be stopped from crying aloudjj ^ s be will spare not until one general TDice of indigjgBon ring thioughoat the land , and sound the deatbv jsn of faction ?

      London baa done nobly—though not the acene of gtess outrages—though not suffering from the distress wbicb proToked them , yet have the men of London shews their sympathy—shewn that they woold make ^ anunco dose with the oppressed against the oppressor . jjjo fnfward determination of their feelings has been ^ k « ifcd , but their hearts will bum all toe warmer ¦ riihin , srd determination become more determined . 2 £ e men of London heard the cry of the turn-outs , wboss reeking blood cried to tfcem from the groundit knocked at their hearts—their hearts opened , and

      tie -po-xsi cf tseir minds , will unite to form a mighty tor rti * . of public opinion that shall arise and sweep from the I * nd ail loyalty to a Queen who knew of the distressed condition cf her subjects , and yet offered jgsO , not far their relief , but for their blood per sumall obedience \ s a Government that could express sympathy f <* r the sufferings of th « people , and then send joldiers to shoot them—all respect to a Parliament that , pretending to represent the people , ref ases to listen to tbar prsyers , or replies with mockery and insult . A gcllta cilai has succeeded the storm—the silence , not of submission , bat of fixed passion holding its

      breath , — " "Cntil the hour which shall atone for years . " Oh , trhen will that hoar come—when win liberty be here ? I say to myself , Runnymede ! and the word is lite the sound ot a trumpet to waken my heart—it bests "srish renewed ardour in thfl cause ; but when ¦ will our Bussymede coma—the day of our Great Charter ? It comstb—ii casts its shadow before—the late strike is Use precursor of a greater strike—the deeds of the grants ae hastening their own downfall—but let ua be vary—let not our enemies succeed in throwing on as the odium of their deeds—in shifting on as the indignation due o ^ lj to th&mseVree—in charging us with theii crimes—noi let us expose oar lives needlessly , useless 7-

      I deeply deplore the blood that has been shed—I should much deplore the shedding of more blood , and ¦ Ulcrefjre in ths hope of deterring' rash , inconsiderate , or superficial thinkers from attempts which common foieskbt would show must , in the present unprepared ftit » cf the people , and in fatal failures , I will briefly jfrt" what is necessary to physical-force success . - la the £ rst place each msn must not only be wellarmed , well-trained in ths use of thoss arms , and a great number well-mo&ntsd ; but , in the second place , they ziust know tow to act in masses , as well as indrridnally , in a be dy , at ence : all this done , they will require artillery and store of ammunition , uniforms , Ac . They would not be in want of a leader—they stouid not be in want of one . An army of the people

      that *""* beaten the first force which Government had geLt against them , would have nothing to do but march np to London , receiving fresh numbers as they came along , and welcomed into the metropolis by hundreds of th&unvnijs . The Charter would be granted -at once : but what then ? If the people dispersed , it woold be as soon rercked ; and if they kept up their force , they would find it necessary to establish a military despotism of their own , and freedom would still be a stranger to the country . All the middle classes—all that portion of the working men that could be coerced or bought—all the aristocracy and such numbers of foreign troops as the cDntinentnl kings would gladly Bend to thejr aid , —all these would be urajed agaicst the pasple , and when wo-ald civil war cease ?

      Bat -wait do I talk of * are not the people unarmed , undrillad , untrained , nndisciplined J Will they be allowed by those who hare unarmed them , and who hsT = armed , trained , drilled , and disciplined both red-costs and bine-coats on their side ? will ths pe- ^ ple be Enfiered to fit themselves infii-TidaHly , numerically for the eDcaunier ? Are thers not spiss in the land employed to entrap tU tras isfji , who betray them for a werd , —for the tracts wait not for deeds ? Let out physicaltorcc "bcsEifirs bear in mind what time it takes to drill a -jcszl , sni how iziall a force of disciplined msn can pci to : h = rout a large body of coneertless riotera . I gr-n * . ths * . not a working man bnt would be a maich for a soldier in basing or wrestling ; fcot could he with fists fight the other with a sward , or equal armed , if sot equal skilled 7 Tbe pike , to be sure , may do math , —the inssket mare . Strength is sot ail that is needed , nor EfcU ] natter—calculation is required , bat t >; Ts is ths leader's pan—jq ^ grn ^* * - in t ?** c ^**?** of gro = nd and in the conduct of a battle or a reteeat .

      We cftea T « g » r it said that nothing bat physical force or the fear of it will ever get the Charter . I kaTe ths people to judge of the probability that tho Ctsner will be gained by force , or that the Govercicect Will 1 ear it , while they have the army at thsir devotion , and what chance there is thai the army will wheel round to the side of the people . If the peopta see no « ach probaidiiiy , cosnsh rh \ r , rr , woold ii no : be better for them to leave physical feme to those who are so fond of nsing it—to those who are prepared with itto those who mske it the easiness cf their Hf-s to Issrn it— -who stnay it as a Bcknce—who glcpry in its exercise —l * sve it to them , and 1 st ns s ^ isk to moral forcethsy cusst best us there—we hsTe faeit th = m i ^ tTery j&arsl fr-r ^ rr . tt ^ —ai every public infecting , or discussion .

Where one mouth was opened to demand no corn Uwasnd free trade , a thousand were opened to demand more wage * .

      ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF MB . H . MOULE FOB TENDEBING BAIL FOB THE NOBLE WHITE . TO THE EDITOK OP THE > 0 BTHEBN STAS . Sib , —That the leaders , or any one who boldly steps forward in the causa of humanity , are to be assassinated , fa demonstrated in the following Instances . The facts are these : —While standing in my garden on Saturday last , an old rabid Tory came np , and sbamef ally abased me . I resented the insult by telling him that which he will not soon forget However , next day brought to light tke hellish conspiracy . While in the back garden alone , this man ' s son pouncsd npon me with the ferocity cf a madman , be being a poweiful fellow , and I , vice versa , tript my heels , and white down kicked me severely . Ono kick in the small of my

      back gives me great pain . Now not content , jhe seized me by the throat , and verily life mast have been extinct , had not Mrs . Monle end others been brought to the spot through my cries of murder . With the assistance of the above persons , I wn » released from the assassin ' s grasp , and erawled , as well as I could into the house , where I had not been more than a moment , when ha cams to the door , with the intentien of following me ; but I was prepared . Another step , and he would have paid dearly for his temerity . Seeing me thus , he quickly retreated . But this was not sufficient l life still remained ! Little did I think that another deep-laid " plot" was laid for me . however while sitting in tho bar of a respectable inn in

      this village , last night , this Bame coward , with a posse of Com Law fellows , commencing with d g my eyes , for offering bail fur that b y White , as they termed him . One shabby , mean Bhopkeeper , commonly known as "Tommy Shop Billy , " a kind of bally for the Chesp Bread men , was the first aggressor ; not content with abuse , raised a glass and would have smashed it in my face hak it not been for a gentleman stepping before me . This was the signal , and never could bell present such a picture of demons , my former assailant foaming at the mouth like a mad dog , again made a plunge at me and had it not been for the kind assistance of the landlord and a respectable working man , my life would not have been worth a moment ' s purchase . With their kind assistance I escaped unhurt .

      Working nun , what think you of this picture ? what think you of the men we are called upon to join ? does this not show us middle class sympathy with a vengeance ? away with the glimmering thought—perish , I say , for ever , the idea of union . Who are our real friend h ? By giving insertion to the above you will much oblige Yours , In the cause of humanity and justice , Mount Pleasant , Hesey Moule . Bedditch , Friday night

      P . S . I was in Shrewsbury some three weeks since , and accidentally fell into company of Finnigan , of Stevenson ' s-Equare notoriety , and during our conversation ( this waa about the fourth or fifth day of the insurrection in Manchester , ) he stated in great glee that they had at length commenced in right earnest ; that stopping the mills at a given time was the only earthly change , they , the League , had of getting a repeal of the Corn Laws ; that the Government must now yield ; that labour should not be resumed till they , the Government , had given them free trade . He also told me he left the second day of the outbreak .

      I » ow ! who are the men who mislead their dupes and run away from that they so richly merit ? Answer this .

      LINNEY'S DEFENCE FUND . TO THE EDITOB 6 F THE XOKTHERN STA . B . Sib , —There are at this present moment so many appeals to the Chartist public on behalf of , not only the General Defence Fund , but of numerous local victims , that I scarcely dare call npon our numerous body for assistance in the ease I wculd allode to , namely , a fond for the defence of Mr . Linney , whose incarceration in Stafford prison has been duly reported in the Star . To Linney ' 8 able conduct msy be attributed the peaceable condition of this district This alone , I am aware , will be enough to ciuse a Jury to bring him in guilty of any charge that may be brought against him ; his only crime being his influence with the working class ; hiBialons advocacy of their legitimate rights ; and bis successful exertions in protecting property and preventing outbreaks .

      The friends of the e&use here have been long out of employment ; consequently , have not the means of themselves to assist him as they wonld wish to do ; therefore ( though with reluctance ; are obliged to appeal to the friends of tbe cause , through your invaluable and widely circulating paper . Hoping that you will insert this , witb a remark or two of your own , especially as Mr . Linney has , by his indefatigable labours , rendered essential service to the Chartist cause . I am . Sir , Tours , most faithfully , In the cause of freedom , Johk Cadlet , sub-Secretary ^ Biijrton , Sept 19 ,

      " '' ¦" . " ¦"" - " , . i - . i On Friday , at Btroud . This lecture waa cried for tbe Market-place . When I arrived at the said Marketplace , I was informed that was private property . I then adjourned tbe Meeting to . opposite theChartlsttoom . I must here state , that in-door lectures , when ont-door can be obtained , appear to me valueless . The dogberries and despotic powers of the day care naught for oar principles , so loDg as we keep them hid under a bnshel measure . In this place I with Borrow beard that a man of the name of Evans , whese conduct , to say tbe least A it , is disgraceful , had palmed himself on our frienda . I hope the mention of his name , will be sufficient to pat Chartists on their guard . Farther information , if any locality requires it , can be had of Bichard Workman , at Joel Whiting's , shoemaker , Cnatford HiJI , near Stroud .

      Left Stroud on Saturday morning by'Say-break , with William Ind , of Stroud Hill ; ha accompanied me ten miles on the road , carrying my luggage . I can only retarn my heartfelt thanks for his kindness . Crossed Newnham Ferry ; got to the top of tbe height to a still property named Pieasant Still . Here , indeed , was labour repaid . Tbe grand view of the noble Severn with its attendant scenery , foi miles distant , was trnty a flight worthy some pains . Arrived at the Forest of Dean in the afternoon ; was welcomed by Mr . Morgan , heat of the Green Dragon . On Monday afternoon , the 29 th of August , delivered the first Chartist lecture in this place on Cinderford ' a Lump ; was honoured , if honour it may be called , with tbe presence of six magistrates ; they had their bluecoated gentry , numbering about sixty , hid in the wjod . I announced a second lecture for the Friday next .

      On the Wednesday , posters of cautien were out from the said magistrates . By-the-bye , I perceive wisdom and magisterial lore runs in their families I suppose the father * are endowed with the magic power of getting magistrates on the same scale that oar crowned heads get kings and queens . I will give you their names generally , according to the scrip : — T . Pyrke , magistrate and father . D . Pjrke , magistrate aad son . E . Jones , clergyman , magistrate and father . E- O . Jones , magistrates and son . ' . ' ' : There , good people , yon have them according to the scroll .

      When the inhabitants of the Forest saw the said caution , they took means to make the meeting on Friday legaL They sent a requisition of householders to one of the magistrates , and not receiving an answer , called it themselves . At tbia meeting I was elected delegate to the Sturge Cenference . The magistrates on this occasion did not show front , yet they took the procaution to double tbe blue-bottle force of reserve in the wood . After this meeting I was arrested in tho most kind and gentlemanly manner by Superintendent William Henry Loader ; passed the night in durance vile ; the next morning bad before the same identical father and son magistrates , with adddition . The kindiiesa paid me by these gentlemen was astounding and overpowering ; they gave me all tho accommodation my position would admit of , yet was determined to commit me to the Gloucester Assizes for sedition—heaven save the mark .

      Those most worthy gentlemen obliged me ' ay accepting bail ; myself in £ 100 and four securities in £ 25 each . I give yon the names of these kiml-hearted men , Thomas Boberts , Edward Lewis , Philip Buasell , and William Povnton . Tiianke to yen , my cuuutrymen ! rest assured , whilst I ' ve breath to draw no injury shall result to you from my present position . To coscludge , ' tbe good done in my lata tour is the opening of four new locations ; loo cards , entrusted to me by tha Executive , taken up by new members—the money now in the hands of the Executive ; many fresh members added to standing localities . I left the Forest of Dian with fifty-six members , on Tuesday morning . Arrived in London on tha Wednesday . Yours , truly , Ruff * Ridley . Sept 16 th , 1842 .

      TO THE CHAitTlSTS OF HELTON , THOBNLEY , WINGATE , AND NEIGHBOURING COLLIEBIES IN THE COUNTY OF DURHAM . Respected Fbiends , —As there seems now to be a healthy spirit of revival growing np amongst you , no means ought to be neglected of cultivating and directing it . Lecturing is of all other means tbe most efficient in diffusing political knowledge and exciting the dormant feelings of the people . I have therefore great pleasure in being abia to submit to you an arrangement , by which without any burden upon , or injury to yourselves , you may be able to avail yourself of the aid of a

      talented and honest lecturer . Mr . James Taylor , cluck and watch maker of this town , an old and esteemed member ot our body pnrposes to visit the above colliery districts fortnightly , on business , and at tbe same time will be ready to lecture according to the appointment of tbe friends He will not receive any remuneration , relying on his basinets for support , I trust that tbe friends of the cause in this district will remember that ; and those -who may requite his professional serviws will find him well worthy of their support . I beg that this may not be regarded as a su ^ Biitute far tha services of other lecturers , but rather as a regular and valuable addition to their occasional services .

      I am , friends , Yours , faithfully , J . ' WILLIAMS .

      BRAVEEY OF BRITISH TROOPS . It has been fashionable of late to make the grievance of a standing army a principal fsatore is the harangues ol " Churlisl demagogues , " and the sufferings of our brave soidiers , who have nobly risked their livea in Central Asia for the preservation of ova authority against the intrusions of the northern tyrant have been made subject of merriment , if not of njo ' . cing . The acknowledged character of the British troops for valour and chivalry , however , can well sustain itself against the taunts of the " coward and the trailor . " It is the fate of men to suffer defeat as well as to achieve viefcory . And wl * o will venture to « ay that oar English army , when fairly matched or ev * n over-matched , has failed to uphold the national character ? We admit the triumphs of fate or circumstances . We can well

      account for the bravest falling before climate , sickness , or hunger ; but all casualties removed , wba * . force can Btand OUR charge 1 what skill resist oun , science ? When interested demagogues'thus sneer at-o&r . reverses , and mock the sufferings of ode guardiano . we are well pleased to direct public attention to acts cf valour wbich none can dispute or uncervalue . Let , then , tho reader turn to our copious repo ' t of the victory gained by OUR troops over the women of Manchester when the shrieks of tbe enemy only tended to inspire OUR heroes with loyalty to that crown , in whose service they had enlisted , and in tho defence of which they were alike regardless of tattered petticoats , dishevelled hair , naked feet , and tender entreaties , proaented in such force as might well have scared th " stoutest heart , and even made . the " victor in a hundred

      laities" to hesitate . It is not matter of aurpriso , that the machinations of our free traders should have deprived the female character of all those fences which its many virtues had thrown around it When we read of women in breeches , chained to carts , and living underground , treated woree than the Squire ' s horse , to fur . iish fuel far the Squire's comfort;—when wo read of English mothers taking off their harness to give birth to English Freemen ; when we hear of chains being pas 3 ed bttween their legs , and waggons of coal btic ^ their burden , while they crt-ep under ground;—y . liea we hear these things , and find their mailers contending that they are necesaary for the purposes of * ' frea trade ; " and for the preservation of British ascendancy ; —when we see our " hell holes" full of in others driven from their homes , to make profit for Eag ' . lshmau

      ;when we hear of their training in infancy , and treatment in maturer life;—wh » n we know that tie overseer ' s knout is the soft language of remonstrance;—when we know that they are thrown into situations with the male ssx which are calculated to destroy that veneration , with which Englishmen of old were taught to look upon the fair sex j—when we know these thirgii , and tbat our rulers have sanctioned the abomination , — it ia scarcely to be wondered at , that the female character should have lost much of that respect which it has commanded in all times , save th <* present "free trade" age of chivalry . When the law declares that it is no crima to separate those whom God ha 3 joined together , how can those who . esecute the la * 7 , be censured or held responsible for dealing with tho weakest and least protected in such a summary

      manner , as shall carry the principles of "free trade" into full and immediate effect ? f Th ' o tri'imph over tha Coartist females of Manchester leaves . Wetwrloo in the shade ; and let those veterans who won their laurels upon the plain , and whose fame ia to be perpetuated and handed down to future generations in the beqnest of " tbe Waterloo medal , "—let them , we say , tear the bauble from their breasts , and in its ste&d wear locks cut from the heads ' of the vanquished , which will no doubt be furnished by order of t ;» o gallant Mayor to his gaolers . O how our " brave Queen " must rejoice at this more than compensation for OUR disasters abroad ! our defeat at Afghanistan and Uiu Cape will now be forgotten ! The laurels of Munches ter float triumphant over the cypress , and the heroic Lady Sale will look with calm contemplation on the m -

      ferings of our prisoners in pcBsession of tbe Savage , whom we would have plundered according to law , and murdered in accordance with the eatablifchoU rules of civil'zsd society , when the news shall have arrived tbat otR character U retrieved , aud cur position rendered more equal , by a capture of female prisoucrs at home , who may , perhaps , serve as an exchange for thoae in the hands of ths Barbarian abroad , wro brutally defends himself and Ltia territory by strategem and courage , against our repeated invitations to be scientifically butchered , or HONOURABLY BETRAYED . The British amis have triumphed over British women : and upon their ruin , no doubt , tbe principles of fret trade will be established , a fitting foundation for such a superstructure , built by such architects Evening Star .

Emerald Isle lifts her green breast above the waves of the Atlantic ; tbe obligaticcs he has conferred on her children Trill be evidenced in their improvement in hd'th , in comfort , and in hepbiness ; and the ruinB of a whiskey distillery will stand t monument to his honour . The only sound reason vrhich we can perceive for doubting the stability of th ? Temperance Reform , lies ia the circumstance that no general popular amusement has been hitherto provided as a substitute for tuat which is taken away . The

      demand for pleasure , in oae shape er another , vbich is inherent in the human raind , must have a corresponding supply . This supply was , till lately , fouu < i in ardent spirits ; very often bucauae no resource of a b ^ tt ^ r description was attainable . Th ^ i introdactioa of a fiiajple method of imparting a piacticai knowledge of on ;; cf the most refiued acu captivating of tha arts , amxea tha stamp of permanency upon tiie reformation < jl the Irish . people . Music aud Temperance have in % t upoa the shores of Cork , and from thenee ws hope tbos ? holy sifters wiil proceed hand in hand , ncor . thtir pex&Jal march thrf / Ughout the lovely land of their adoption .

      WATKrNS' LEGACY TO THE CHARTISTS ' IKTBODnCIOBT LBCTUKE . PABT III , The Queen is most imperatively called npon to be a Chutist , became , as tbe nnnrfng mother of Eugland , it is her bonnden duty to snoconr her snbjeets as her own children—to save and protect them . She ought to reign not for a faction , but for the people—to rale righteously , not sslflshly and vain-gloriously . She ought to issue her royal proclamation , not to * ffer £ 50 for the blood of any of the distressed operatives , but to declare that their rig ' cta Bhall be restored—that the Charter shall be made law . The Peers on ht to be Chartists , for they call themselves the " pillars of the State ; " and they ought to uphold tha Constitution by justice and truth . The Commons o&gbt to be Chartists , because tbey say they are the representatives of the people ; but the people are not represented , nor can be until they are

      allowed to vote . The Bishops ought to be Chartists , because they " profess and call themseives Christians ;" and Christianity and Chartism are convertible terms . The Judges onght to be Chartists , because it is their duty , above all men , to be just , else do their robes and furred gowns hide iniquity—their ermine is spotted , and they are without wisdom , if not without virtue . Naval xnd military men ought to be Chartists , bicause arms are for the recovery or defence of liberty . All men of rank should be Chartists , because there can be no real honour where there is , no honesty . All men of property ought t * be ChartiBts , because " property has its duties &s well as rights . " Ladies and gentltmtn are not ladies and gentlemen unless tbty are Chartists , — the word lady is of Saxon origin , and means a " server of bread : " gentleman in a word tbat speaks its own meaning ; and what gentle is there—what manly in opposing the oppressed ? what ladylike in being nncharitible '

      Tradesmen ought to be Chartists , because they confess that they cannol live honestly under the present system , and do they prefer to live dishonestly rather than chac ; e it ? Bnt of all men , all working men , ought to be Chartiits , because they suffer niest , and , in spite of Trades' Unions , find themselves sinking lower in the scale of hnmanity . In the first place , not having tbe franchise , they are slaves , victims of misrule . Honest men are forced to become the servile snpportars of the tyrants that prevent their honest endeavours—that ruin industry—or are driven into tbe streets to beg , blushing at their own degradationwith wife and children , exposed to the uncertain chance of charity—lyin ? at the doors of the rica like Lunrus , till sent to prison , or hospitals , or ba&tiles , that . they m 3 y pine , . or sicken , or die out of sight Workins men can assign no re&son why thty Bhould not ba Chartists—none but what indeed are reasons to the contrary—and there are many excellent reasons

      why they should join . A man ' s self—all that pertains to his being , his well-being ate reasons—his wife is a reason , bis children are reasons . Without liberty , he has no security for any of the blessings of life—without liberty he may dread all its curses . And can he see his fellow working men struggUcg for justice , and not help them—struggling for' him as well as for th = mseives—strugjlintf , and perhaps opposed by him as well as by the common oppressors of all ? Can he see his fellow working men taken to prison for taking his part—and knew that it is owing to bis criminal indifferente , or know that he had joined him inttestrnggle , they would together have been too strong for the oppressor , and all would have been safe , raccenfal ? Surely he will turn indignant against the oppressor , and join his own order—join to make the labour lighter—the success all the more speedy—a labour which will ennoble him—a success which will enrich him . Ail men ought to be Chartists , for it is the duty and . interest of all to stand np for justice all the world

      over . But many of the working-men are diverted from their true aim by other projects , and I will shew that even aa SoeiaUita , as Teetotallers , as Com Law Repealers , tbey ought to be Chartists . Socialists must know tbat while they float their little ark to swim on the agitated waters of the present social system—it will be affected by all the advers * influence of the deluge of sin and misery without and around it ; and probably will be swamped by them—that it is not on sand , but on a reck that thsy should choose to build— and that universal suffrage alone an clear them oat a gooi foundation : else their land will be a Utopia ; their hall a castle in the air ! and government ^ " at any time suppress them , even S 3 the Jesuits were suppressed . Teetotallars complain that government licences gin-palaces ; that it

      pitroaizis drunkenness and debaBihsry ; and so will it be until the Chartists reform the Government . Com Lsw K = pealers likewise complcin that Government uphtios a monopoly which prevents free trade in corn , and taxes bread . What wiil enable the people to ¦ press PAriiament into a repeal cf the Corn Laws but Universal Suffrage ? Socialists , therefore , with Teetotallers aad Com Law Repealers , if they wish success to their severs ! y };™^ will sil be Chartists—wiil first get the Charter . Archemides said that with a lever and a fulcrum he could move the globe . Tne Weight of cliss-kgiElation that obstructs the efforts of ail good Reformers <¦? ' ¦ '" be removed only fcy the lever of Universal Suffrage , with the f ulcram of No Property Qualification ; ia other words , the Charter ia the great engine of R&form .

      ' > ~ ot , I would ask the working man who is not a Chartist , why he k&ep 3 aloof ? Possibly , he does not understand the Charter ; that is a reproach to him , Xtt Mm know it , and he -arill love it . But possibly he is in fear of his master- Why does he live in fear ? If ha fr- ^ s las ChatXez , he would sit under his own Tine asd his otsti fig-tree ifor mark ; God says they are his own ? he would sit nndtr them , none daring to maks him afraid . Those whom he now fears wculd then fear him—woaid respecl him . Bat possibly he h » £ &&d va *; = 3 , aud cares for none of tnese things ; that is a greats reproach to him than ignorance or fear—for tfcat is ee ' - fit-b ^ cp . He is no aian if he do noi vindieaie the right ? of fr tm-. unity ; if te do not feel for his brother if ntt for himself . Bnt possibly he niay say , the Chartists have damaged their own

      dose , and may tell ns to lock at > 'cvport . Well , lo . sk at Xewport , and lock at the provocationlt ^ , k aibetb Bides . When men are awakened by their wrongs and become alive to their rightswbea they are Eeefciig only justice , and are oppoesd iu the mast brutal majmer by their very oppressors , wiil not patience bolt sometimes—will it not break out ? It is h&rd to keep cool and s&e oar best friends , men cf the first Etaiion in society , of first-rate abilities , who c . ? nid have earned for themselves all that the systcEi fr" to give , but who preferred justice and the people ' s canse to all;—to see such advocates &s these , ¦ Tit ' j had sacriSsedboiue , beiWh , personal liberty , taken to prison only for speaking in oar b&hsJf . Bnt look at Kftwport ; it is a rock to then—avoid te , and tre arrive safe into the harbour .

      The people shonid resolre to . tunger no more—to thirst no mare—to be slaves eo longer , but to have and hold &U the blessing * they were created to enjoy . Noi alone the living , but the very deal might rise to join this cause , and rtrezze theaiselves for the wrongs that brocgat than to an " u ^ tim&ly grave , for life to the p ?; r i « not life ^—it is a living de ^ th ; and if we have any iffactioEj ia us—if we have feelings , senses—if we fczre hearts , arms , hin ^ s—minds asd syais—if we are humia , we BhTji ^ this divine cause—a cause which God himself night d = scrnd on eirth to command—for i : is H is ciuse ; but let him not come in great humility a « sfsretisie ; for be would again be seemed and rejected cf men ; but let him eime as he has proiiased , in crest power and glcry , and gain tu oa Ciiartercur j-locge of happiness here , and of joy hereafter .
