Brotrsb . Democrats , —Events of a mojfc extraordinary and awful nature have transpired during the last few weeks , through tne influence of which , aided bj the combined factions , Tory and Whig , those who hare been foremost in the advocacy of the rights of mankind have been marked eat bj the harpies of Government as fit objects for prose-« at » m . imprisonment , and exile . Amongrt those hol of nation
who were foremost in the y cause a s redemption , was to be found our worthy co-patriot « rid colleague , Peter Murray M-Douall , a stern , tmfiinchins democrat , brave in tiaies of peril , honest in his intentions , and of a sound and discerning iadement . Having carefully viewed the circumstances over , and seeing the necessity of filling up the vacancies that may occur from time to time in the Executive Committee , we recommend to the country the following suggestions : — Firstly—To take into consideration the necessity ¦ of filling np the vacant seats in the Executive , instanter .
Secondly—Out of the whole list of Candidate put in nomination , those five that have the greater numfcer of votes to be held in reserve , and whenever there occurs a Tacancy , the candidate amongst the Svewhohad the-greatest number of votes to be ¦ called to the vacant Feat , and so in succession until the last of the five should be called , if there should occur successive vacancies . But in all cases the rightful elected member to resume his seat if he is able and willing to do so .
Brethren , we are aware that this is an addendum to the plan of organization . Thia Jine of policy , we believe to be in strict accordance with the principles of the peopled Charter . Bat as this matter appears to ns to be one of very great responsibility , we must await with anxiety the sanction or rejection of these suggestions by the votes of the Association . As the pro tem . Executive have decided that Tuesday , the 25 tb of October , shall be the last day on which candidates can be nominated , we are satisfied with their arrangement , and that the names
shall be published in the Northern Star , of Saturday , the 29 ; h of October ; and instanter we expect the whole votes of the Association as to whether the members are satisfied with our proposals , the result to be published in the Northern Star on Saturday , the 12 th of November . Then the poll for the candidates to be taken . No return need be sent of polling for candidates after Tuesday , the 22 nd of November . The gross number of votes for each candidate will be published in the Star on Saturday , the 2 o th day of November .

LEAMINGTON " . —At the usual weekly meeting of the Chartists of Warwick and Leamington , it was resolved , " That the thanks of thi 3 meeting be given to the Executive pro . tem . in the hope tha ; they will continue in that office until the fate of the other members is decided . Twelve shillings was banded in for rafle tickets for the General . Defence Fund ; half a crown for ditto , from Mr . W . of Warwick ; and five shillings for Mr . White ' s support . Money matters having been settled , an interesting discussion was held on the question— What would be the duty of the Chartists in the event of the Corn Law League renewing their agitation f and nltixaaiely the following resolution was unanimously adopted : — " That this meeting being convinced that
the repeal of the Corn Laws would not benefit the ¦ working classes without a repeal of many other bad laws and legislative protection for our labour , we , therefore , cannot sympathise with , or countenance fee Corn Law League or any other party who will not agitate for tie People ' s Charter , and which , in our opinion , is the only means of securing evenhanded justice for the -whole people . That we deem it the duty of the working classes to avail themselves of every opportunity that presents itself to propagate and defecd the principles of the Charter , and to cultivate public opinion in favour of it by all peaceful and legal means , by reason and argument , and by their urbanity and rational conduct towards ail those who may differ from them in opinion . That seeing the working classes are uDJa ? tly deprived of the right of citizenship and the use of the public
buildings , for which they are taxed and which are Bupponed by their industry , we hold that whenever a public meeting is called in any building that is public property , for lecturing , & . C ., they (; he working men ) should attend and there maintain the right of the majority to approve of , or reject any chairman that may be proposed j and that the usages of society requires a chairman to preside over all Each meetings ; but , in case of lectures being delivered in private buildings , we hold that such affairs should be regarded as private property , and that parties delivering lectures under such circumstances have an undoubted right to make what arrangements they please , and should not be interrupted The discussion was supported well by Messrs . jk . awf . red , Stanley , Granth&m , Arkins , Wild , Donaldson , and others .
STROTJD . —In this town , as elsewhere , the frieeds of true democracy have had , and still continue to encounter , many difficulties , and opposition of no small magnitude . Our little crew , having , suffered worst from want of employment , felt much discouraged and indifferent as to the result of their ever obtaining their political rights . Our pilot being " Truth , " oar helmsman Justice , " and our compass Love , " we waded on through many difficulties , and partially passed through the cesspool of corruption , when we Tentured to hoist the colours of true democracy ; and , nailing our colours to the Ba 5 i > we have commenced batierJDg down the teals of tyrants by means of subscription books being taken into the camp of the adversary . We hope every maa of liberty and love to his country will make it a duty to contribute to so noble , so patriotic , and so good a cause . Mr . Millsom , of Cheltenham ,
lectured here on the 20 th , and gave great satisfaction . If every man worked like him , the rights of the poor would speedily be obtained . Since he commenced lecturing , he has walked 1 , 500 miles at the expence of himself . Our weekly meeting was held on Monday night , st the Giobe Inn . The following resolution were moved and carried unanimously : — B Thai we hail with delight the noble example shown by the men of London , and pledge ourselves to work wiih them , to accomplish the glorious victory of right over might , of justice over injustice . "— " That we deem it contrary w > the rules of the Association to elect a fresh Executive until the time is expired , which , according to Article 14 th , i 3 in February , 1843 ; and that we consider the Executive pro tem ., in . London , quite sufficient until such time a 3 the members of the Executive are at liberty to cooperate vruh it . "

Yon will perceive below the amount of the expenditure of the late demonstration , and also the receipts . As there are many false reports abroad , by designing individuals , it is highly necessary that means be immediately taken by the various localities in Surrey to pay those individuals the amount due to them . Connected with this is , also , the late tea party at the Montpelier . 1 beg to state that this is the last notice I Bhall give requesting all persons having had tickets to pay for the same . By withholding the names of individuals from the public I
have been blamed by many , although it has been done with the purest of motives on my part . Having bestowed so much time and labour upon this , 1 shall publish the balance-sheet in the next week ' s Star . A meeting of the members of Council residing in Surrey will take place at the Ship Tavern , Louglane , Bermondsry , on Wednesday , November 2 nd , at three o ' clock , on matters of great importance . I once more request all persons holding tickets of the theatre , residing in Surrey , to pay tor the same on or before Tuesday next . John Matnarp , Sec .

Dickinson , the Manchester Packer , delivered two powerful lectures , in which be showed up the folly of attempting to put down the agitation for the Charter by tbe display of military , and the calling into requisition an unconstitutional police foice , wbo act in the dsnble capacity ef bludgeon-men and hired spies . Mr . Dickinson then gave a lucid descrip tion of the erilfl resulting from class-legislation , and showed most clearly that nothing but the adoption of the People's Charter would give anything like permanent relief to the toiling millions . The lecturer then
alluded to tbe connection between Church and Suite , and relnted several anecdotes in illustration of this put of tbe subject . Be concluded by a feeling appeal on behalf » f those parties who bad been pounced upon by an arbitrary Government for their advocacy of the great and good principles contained in that imperishable document called the "People ' s Charter . " The afternoon lecture was well attended , and in the evening tbe spacious Hall was crowded , and the lecturer received the thanks of bis numerous auditory , who retired highly delighted , after a liberal collection had been made to meet the current txpencea of the Hall .

Bebmondskv . —At a meeting of the Chartists at the Ship Tavern , Long , lane , on Monday , Mr . Hines in the chair , the minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed . Mr . Miller presented a plate to be raffled for—the proceeds to go to the Tictim fund , which produced 6 s ; 6 d . Mr . John Miller was unanimously elected delegate to the Metropolitan delegate meeting , to co-operate with Mr . Maynard . A deputation was appointed to wait upon Mr . O'Connor , with a letter of condolence from the membersin his late
, affliction , and also requesting his assistance in this locality at the first convenient opportunity . The thanks of the locality were given to Mr . Cleave , for presenting us with fifty Pamphlets and one hundred Circulars , the proceeds to go to the vlotim fund . The evening was spent in discussing , in a friendly manner , the best means to be adopted to agitate for the Charter in this locality . It ia earnestly requested that all members will attend on Monday next , at half-past seven o ' clock , when a discussion will be opened , — -What are the probable means to ba used to gain the Charter T
Mile End—Thia locality still continues weekly to increase in numbers . Spirited and enthusiastic lectures are delivered two or three nights in the week , each adding some new members to our ranks to assist us in the good old cause of Chartism , which / notwithstanding the recent persecution , holds up its mighty and unconquerable head above the waves of prosecution . BXRBZXNGHiUtt . —AStONSTRKET . — -On Sunday sight , Mr . Cowan in the chair , after a long discussion , in which Messrs . Sanders , Linden , and Williams took part , a resolution was passed , requesting the council to conrene a delegate meeting of the district , to consiaUr the best means to be adopted for tbe obtaining a better organization .
Gband anc Glorious defeat op the Anti-Corn Law , and Complete Guffbage LRAQUes . —The town having been plentifully placarded by the Anti-Corn Law League , calling a public meeting of tbe friends to cheap bread , for Tuesduy night , half-patt seven , at that hoar the public office was crowded to excess . On the secretary to the Anti-Corn Law Association , making his appearance on the platform , Mr . David Potts moved that Mr . Follows , hair dresser , Monmonth-street , take the chair , which having been duly seconded , was carried ananimoualy , amidst rapturous applause . Mr . Follows said he hoped , as they bad elected him to the onerous office of chairman , they would allow every one a fair opportunity of expressing their opinions upon the important matter they were
called upon to consider . He then requested the secretary to read the placard calling the meeting . The Secretary of the Birmingham anti-Corn Law Association then read the placard as desired , and proceed to state that , having been tbe chief instrument in calling the meeting , he considered it to be for the free traders only . Mr . Sanders said it was probable there were many persons present who did liOt rightly understand what was meant by free trade , and that it would be better for all parties to be heard , whether free traders or not , for that it was only by discussion that truth was elicited . At this state of the proceedings , Mr . Bright , of Rochdale , and Mr . Paulton , anti-Corn Law lecturer , accompanied by two magistrates of the borough , asoended the platform Mr .
Smith Linden said , that he believed that certain parties who originated the meeting thought by getting Mr . George White out of the way they could steal a march on the Chartists , but he could tell them he was not afraid of Paulton , Acland , or any individual they could bring forward to defend and expound their nostrums . Tbe Chairman then called upon Mr . Bright , who commenced by stating , that there was a time when there was only one party of reformers tin Birmingham , but he was sorry to find that they were now split up into sections . The country used to look to Birmingham as a centre , and he believed now , with Manchester , the two would do more than all the other towns in the kingdom . Tbe latter , at present , took the lead , but would willingly
resign tbe honourable position to the men of Birmingham . [ Mr . Josh . Scholefield , M . P ., here ascended the platform , and was received by cheers from the respect ables , and a volley of groans and hisses from the working men , amidst cries of " Where ' s White ? " ] Mr . B . aaid they had all heard of the patters turn-out at Ashton and elsewhere . Who had caused them ? The Anti-Corn Law League ' bad been instrumental in preserving the peace of the country during the recent strikes . ( Great hissing , and cries of " Who stopped the mills ?") Many , he said , had been forced from tbe he land of their birth by the iniquitous Corn Laws , and gave * long rigmarole story about Joseph in Egypt . { 'Any old woman would tell us u much aa that , " and great
laughter . ) The meeting now showed symtoms of impatience , and Mr . B . Baid had he been ia Manchester he could have obtained a hearing . ( Cries of " Stephen--son's square to wit I" ) Yes , he would tell them some thing about Stephenson-square ; tbe disturbances which took place there were caused by the money of the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos , s « nt down by Dr . Sieigh and Charles Wilkins , barrister-at-Iaw . They never would be prosperous without a repeal of the Corn Laws . ( "The Charter . " ) He then made the most vitnperous attack upon the leaders of the people it has ever been our lot to hear , charging thorn with being in the pay of a Tory government , whose tools they were . The meeting would hear no more , aud Mr . Bright sat down .
Mr . Parkes , Christian Chartist , then rose . He thought the gentleman who had just sat down had taken up a deal of their time in useless rigmarole . He did not believe the parties advocating the repeal of the Corn Laws were honest If they were , why not assist the working men in getting the Charter , and then they could easily repeal the Corn Laws ? Mr . B . had Baid there was no other law which pressed upon the industry of the working classes but the Corn Laws ; but be could tell him that the laws of entail and primogeniture pressed heavily upon them . He would not give op his right to the Suffrage , and he contended that the Corn Laws never would be repealed until we bad the Charter . He said it had become fashionable with " gentlemen" of late to charge the working
men with tyranny . Judge Tindal , in the recent trials , bad done tbe same ; but those individuals may go a step too far in their abuse . He hoped they would go for nothing less than the Charter . Mr . Saunders , in a speech replete with good sense , moved the following resolution : —" That we , the inhabitants of Birmingham , in public meeting assembled , do consider the corn , provision , and every other law that presses on the industry of the people obnoxious , and ought to be abolished ; but that this meeting feels satisfied that they never will be repealed until the People ' s Charter becomes the law of the land . And we call upon all sincere lovers of liberty to use their utmost
exertions in every ward to return members to the town council pledged to carry out the above principle . " This was seconded by Mr . Geerge Ellis , and carried with three dissentients , amidst great applause . The meeting was then addressed by Mr . Wm . ParkeB and Mr . Linden , and a vote of thanks was given to the Chairman . The Chairman in returning thanks , said be was sorry to have beard the working classes abused as they had been that evening by the Corn Law party . After cheers for White , O'Connor and the Charter , the meeting quietly dispersed . So discouraging was the reception the Leaguers met with , that though they had a heat of spouters in the rear , they dared not bring more than one of them forward .

VII . —That we recommend the Chartists to maintain the sacred right of publio meeting against any illegal interference of arbitrary authority , by taking care to call them , on all occasions , in a proper manner , according to law , and when interfered with to take proper evidence of the same , and meet and take means to prosecute tbe parties , and petition Parliament to impeach tbe Home Secretary who sanctions and supports such arbitrary infringements of our constitutional rights .

George Ross , Prince ' s Street , Glasgow . In the hope of a ready and loud response to our call , aware that you feel the necessity of establishing an organ , and defending your opinion through the press , we present to you the
PROSPECTUS OF THE SCOTTISH CHARTIST PIONEER , TO BE PUBLISHED MONTHLY , PRICE TWOPENCE . The " Chartist Pioneer , " as its name imports , wil be unceasingly devoted to establish the principles contained in the People's Charter as the law of the land , not less from our firm conviction of the just rights of the unrepresented , than from our conscious feeling that the happiness of every class depends on the establishment of justice in all their political affairs or institutions . In pursuing this , our determination , wo will
not allow ourselves to be tempted to the right or the leit into the crooked paths of expediency : firmly , but temperately , wo will ever insist that the one great principle of equal right shall always take precedence of every other political subject , being convinced that it is vain to expect good laws from a faulty and unjust representation , and that knowing the machinery to be wrong and worn out , it is foolish to spend our time in altering and mending its imperfect work or produce , but that we should rather remove its imperfections , which are tha cause .
In conclusion , we ask every lover of Freedom , to ponder on the various circumstances connected with our position ; on the practical plans we here lay before him ; on the design of the publication announced in the above Prospectus ; and we are convinced that he will be up and ioing . Wbeever wishes to labour in some good and honourable cause , that bis life should be passed in advancing bis country ' s good , and after death that his name should go down to posterity in connection with something great , glorious , and good ; let him remember that the earth presents no scene more sublime , nor man no attitude more noble , than that of a person asserting his sacied rights , and struggling to be free from tbe bondage of oppression . Let every fireside and workshop become the schools to teach these rights and
duties . Let mothers teach their children tbe dark catalogue of the sufferings and wrongs their futbers and themselves have borne , so that they may bear the memory of them as lessons unto life ' s last breath . : Let fathers think they ever see their children ' s tiny hands uplifted , their wives' beating , breaking hearts and tearful eyes , praying and pleading their manhood with all tbe eloquence of woe , to save them from slavery and its sorrows . Let the old hoary-headed man use his last remaining powers to urge the sacred duty ; telling those around him that he deemedthia advice the richest legacy he could leave them . Let young and old thus joining , breathe one fervent prayer to heaven for help and strength to break oppression's bonds ; scatter to the winds the power of man ' s destroyer ; and on their ruins build the Throne of Right and Justice unto all . , Robe&t Lowest , See ., j > n > . ton *

FREE PRISONERS . Quis talia legendo temperet a lachrymis . TO THE EDITOR OP THE MOBNING CHRONICLE . Sir , —I will not offer you any apology for thia letter , for I think , that upon perusal , it will be found to contain matters which describe the condition of the people of Scotland , more clearly than any publication has yet done , and that in consequence it must have the effect of arousing us ail to greater pity and greater exertions in the cause of so many of our fellow men , who are enduring every extremity of woe . I extract from the seventh report , just published , on Scotland and the northern division of England . The first point is that which may be expected , that is , that the prisons are fuller than ever , owing tothe universal distress . The next is an entirely new
fact—the springiBg up of a class who call them * selves " free prisoners , " a term hitherto unknown , but sufficiently expressive , as the sequel will show . These persons are eo entirely without hope or pros * pect in this world , that on the expiration of their sentences they voluntarily constitute themselves prisoners ; gladly consent to undergo separate confinement , ten hours of hard labour , and the hardest fare , in exchange for the boon of the prison shelter . No lesa than forty of these reside in the Glasgow ^ aol for long terms , Bome a year , some a year and a half , some two years : they are orderly and exemplary in their conduct , submissive , industrious , and thankful , never once crossing the prison thresholdnever complaining either of the monotony , or labour , or diet , and devoting to over hours of toil their other
time . Whatever may be thought of the lawfulness of this , its mercy is as paramount as its necessity ; for if these voluntary captives be denied admission , they forthwith commit a crime , and the gates open before them . It imperiously declares the need of abettor provision for the poor , than the scanty one now doled out by the kirk session ; aud it proclaims the humanity of the excellent governor , Mr . Brebner , who ia described by some of his prisoners as a father more than as a master . " Indeed , but for his interposition , very many must have sunk under the extremity of their privations . As , eir , you have been compelled frequently to hold up to publio condemnation the stern character of several governors of prisons , so will you do the just act of making ; known the merit of men like the governor of the ) Glasgow gaol .
I proceed to give tbe evidence of a prisoner , which shows how incumbent it is to enact an efficient poor law for Scotland . It is given in her words , and heart-rending those words are : — "My parents . were decent , honest people . I was married very young to a sailor . When he went to sea he assigned me part of his wages every month . I had sore trouble after he left , for work began to get scarce , and my little child fell ill . I went to the agents to ask for my husband ' s pay , for I was sore distressed from grief and fatigue . The ship was lost off China ; all hands were saved ; but , as was the custom in such cases , the wages were stopped . This was heavy news for me , for I had neither work nor money . 1 bore on for some time , trying to get work ,
however trifling ; but there was no work to be had for me and hundreds more . I had heard of a female house of refuge in Glasgow , aud I determined to seek food and shelter there . I took my little boy ia my hand , who is about nine years of age , and walked the twenty miles to Glasgow . When I got to the house of refuge , I showed them my marriage lines , that they might Bee I was a douce , decent body . The matron was very kind to me , and said she grieved for me , - but that the house was not for such as me , but . for poor misguided women—prostitutes and the like . My heart was fit to break , and I said to myself , that I maun be wicked before I could , get a morsel of bread . The matron took pity on me , aud she let me stay one night , and
gave me a supper and a breakfast the next morning . We walked back again the long toilsome way to Greenock . I had nothing to buy food or shelter with . My boy was weakly , though nine vearB old , aud 1 had oarried him many times on my back , when he complained of bis feet . I sat down on a bank and cried bitterly ; but my child , who was aye a douce clever lad , and had been weel instructed in the Sunday school , little as he was , was my comfort , When he heard me say , ' we shall die of want ;'' well , mother ' said he , 'then we shall go to granny , in heaven ; and we'll want no food there . ' He took off his jacket , and pulled off his little Bhirt , and said I should pawn his shirt , for that would bring something ; and so it did , and we got a night ' s shelter for that time . "
Cau anything be more pathetic than this—any words better chosen' than these of the poor Scotch woman t Do they not go to every parent ' s heartdoth not the similitude of her case to Hagar ' s strike every one ; but with this difference , that no angel came to her ia her distress , showed her no well , and she at length—who can wonder , and who caa blame —fell into crime , that her Ishmael might not perish in the Christian desert ! Is it possible that , in the face of narratives such as these , and with such narratives I could fill your journal for a year , that any other subject cau be thought worthy of our consideration ? What avails the decoration of our towns , the grandeur of our palaces , the strength of our bridges , roads , arsenals ;
the wide arch of our empire ; our colonies , that stud aad circle the world , when our people Beek shelter in our prisons and force aa entrance to them ; when they rather break into them than out of them , when their hardest labour , their hardest fare , are sought as boons by the sons and daughters of destitution t What is it , that our merchant navy is counted by a tonnage of millions—that the navy of the state baa borne 150 , 000 seamen , carrying conquest to the limits of the eazth—that our army has taken the capital of our enemies—that our exports are fifty millions—whea wailing is in our streets , famine ia our cottage households , aad our refuge ia prison ! Is not our wealth penury , our glory decay , our strength debility t Is it possible that any other object than a remedy
for such desolation , which the annals of each day confirm and augment , can fill the thoughts of oar statesmen , who retiring to their Btately halls , can sleep without dread visions of squalid and pining multitude * , sometimes expiring in silence , at other times breaking out into feeble insurrectioo—their strength for good or evil , unavailing throogh long emaciation I Can they stoop to consider progresses and pageants and baubles , barbarians' wars , where victory is defeat , and defeat shame t Let us hope better things , and ourselves resolve to bend every thought , to restrain every faculty , to devote every resource to the supply of the sorrowing multitude of our brethren , to the averting of despair -.. from their hearts , and danger from ourselves ; for . ~ otherwise , ia Milton ' s words , we must be overooiflfc . " by the irresistible might of weakness . " ; - * 5 . % V Your moBt obedient servant , ' ~^ ' ^} FREDERICK PIGO ^ S ? J ¦ : ¦ -.. & . ^ SS
