' Mt Deasakd Persecuted Beotheb Chahtists , B These are , i ndeed , times to try men ' s souls . " The good ship Charter has been caught in one of those trade vinds for which she was not prepared , it was bo sadden and not announced by ai > y of those usual omens which precede a coming revival . Some of th hands hare been washed OYerbo&rd , but the complement has been wain made up , and not » soal on board who would not rather sink with the crew than Abandon the wreck . Oh I we haTe been foully treated ; most foully persecuted ; but heed cot persecution
If the principle is worth living for , it is worth dying for , aad therefore worth persecution-bearing . When & military commander routeshis enemy he endeavours to complete his triumph by scattering the fugitives and making many prisoners ; so it is with the political commander . The Tories of 1842 , as the Whigs of 283 S , would "lay the flattering unction to their souls , " that they had annihilated Chartism , because some are consigned to los . tb . some dungeons and the transport is in readiness for others ; and in the hope of completing their triumph , they would intimidate othere from occupying that position from -which
their frknds haTe been dislodged . How vain , how hopeless , how very hopeless , to make such a false estimate of our nnmber 3 , our devotion , and oht AdhereDC 9 to principle . In this state of things , my friends , I would especially direct jour attention to that which is cheering , but intended as disheartening . The Tory press teems with open denunciation of Chartists and Chartist pr inciples , and recommends eTery or any means for the destruction of the ¦ Chartist party ; while the Whig press would destroy ns by kind admonition , by friendly caution and wholesome ad-rice . The Whig Ecribes deny our
strength , and laugh at our union , -while tbey point -out in & kindly jnanner , of course , the errors into which we hare fallen , and the necessary means for iheir oorrectioa . Waqt of uaios , mention of physical fbree , and disinclination to join with the "free Ira-• der * P are amongst the most serious charges brought against us by the Whig writers . Now , take my word for the fact , that these assaults upen the few weak points of the fortress , but prove its strength and impregnability . No man in his senses ever supposed that the Morning Chronicle or its followers ¦ felt the least indication to strengthen the
hands of the people , while the strength of their cause is made maaifes : in the weakness of their enemies' assaults . The censure , therefore , of the Whig press must be taken as praise . Tney charge as for want ef union , while we ara the only party in the state that can boast of ptri ' ec : union . We charge them with treachery , iucompetency , cowardice , and injustice , -which tluy cannot meet -Otherwise than by recrimination ; and even that is weak . Many attempts are now being made to win os , we&k as we are ; bat all will fail . Some mushroom leaders would win you by pointing out the
great advantages which a union with the middling classes would confer upon you , and - to insure those advantages , would tempt you into a general union wkh that order , as a body ; Others would point oat the great benefits to be gained by a distinct union with the Corn-Law League party , aad all means are put into full force lo bring about a union of some sort or other . Now , a . ! such means will fail ; but the most dastardly attempts are these of professing Chartist leaders , vrho would endeaavour to hurt your pride by leading you to suppose that you are looked upon as the dupes
vf Feargus 0 ' 'Connor . This last and basest subterfuge ef faction , bis had no effect upon those for whom alone I contend—the poor ; and as for the time-servers of all other classes , I look with contempt upon them . You perceive a weakness in many good men upon this point , —a desire to be considered wholly unconnected with or uninfluenced by Feargns O'Connor . It is therefore iigh time that I Ehould proclaim to the world , and to the working classes in particular , that the principles of Feargus O'Connor are the adopted and cherished of ninety - nine of every one hundred who live a life of
industry , and that all attempts , open or cover ; , to bring him into disrepute are intended as a me&ns to destroy his principles . It is not for any peculiar merit of hi 3 own that he is loved and honoured , beloved and respected , aye , even adored , by the working classes ; it is in consequence of his devotion to them and their cause , and until faction can prove him a delinquent , he will remain uppermost in their affection and foremost in their thoughts . My children , then , be not shamed out of your foud affection for me , Let not your vanity be wounded by the charge of being O'Connorites . I am not ashamed of being
called ill names foriay devotion to jou ; be not ashamed of beixg called honourable ones , lest you should be supposed to love me . I should be very miserable and unhappy if I thought any one of you hated me from a just cause , and I am happy to think that you all love me , because I have given you reason to do so . I am fighting faction for you with all my might , with all my soul , and with all my strength ; and , therefore , faction hates me . It is jour love that has hitherto enabled me to make good the ground for cur principles ; for although men are daily persecuted , yet are their principles daily
gaining strength . I hope soon to be amongst you once more , meantime I am not idle or negligent of ine interests of those who claim my most immediate consideration . I hope to save Ellis , or to E&tisfy the country that he has been convicted according to late . I have appealed to yoa for assistance , and 1 rely upon jour promptitude and willingness to render it . I have now the opportunity of speaking to you daily , " thank God for it , " and there / ore I require to 5 sy no mere to you now than merely to point out s- ~ me of those means by which faction hopes to triumph over U 3 .
My beloved friend ? , 1 will join no party . I will remain firm as the rock , and will cheerfully accept the co-operation of ali who will join you and me in breaking the oppressor ' s head . Ever your devoted Friend and faithful Servant , Fergus O'CoireoK .

IRE CHARTISTS OF BIRMINGHAM TO THEIR BRETBREX OF DUDLEY , WALSALL , WEDNESBTJRY , BILSTO >\ KiDDERMlNETER , WORCESTER , STOURERIDGE , REDD 1 ICH , AND OTHER PLACES . Broibees in the cause of fseedom—The that is fully arrived vhen apathy is a crime of n * ordinary Biagnitude ; seeirg tbat class-made despots are rifiirg ramparjt OTt r the people , laying low the brave and noble of her fous , snd using their mighty &ad despotic power , to crtuh a people striving to be free .
" We deem it the duty of every Chartist , however humble his situation , to n&e his every exertion to press forward the People's Charter , es the political goepel of our cemmon salv ^ 'icc . "We deem it important that the ¦ wisrlom and inte'Hsetce of the massc-s Ehould be concentrated into ore fecus , to give a right direction to ¦ pt biic opinion in this erligbtened age of " complete " hunilcg , tbat no advjjKtge i-hould be teken of cur position by the assailing e ! tB . e&ts of the two iactiens . Brethren , the Chartists of BirmirebEra are of opinion that a delegate netting of the d ^ n-lct is absolutely Xktces » ry ht tie present time , thai by their united wijticm a plsn may be ar . ojted for the complete organization of the district , to be prepared -upon any emergency to make a bold Et& £ d upon prirciple against the new-fugled doctrine of expediency and free trade .
"We consider , further , that a plan of local lecturing , similar to that msto by the Methodist local prt&chers , should be adopted for the district , to ensure a constant supply of raritd talent , bo tliat there be no lack of the " word of life . " Remember , union is absolutely necessary . Union of sentiment and action will insure a glorious triumph . Without union our strength is a * a rope of sand . A simultaneous movement of Chartism in the "iron district , " (« o called by the Leagne ) will discomfit , alarm , and ansey the free-trading humbugs .
Brethren , correspond with cur sub-Secretary , Mr . Talbert , » 8 , Woodcock-street , as to yeur opinion of a delegate meeting , so that it may be called innUnter . No delay should be occasioned is this matter . " Now is the accepted time . " Let us show to the factions , fey oar promptness , tbat where one has been taken from mm , we have five to supply his place . Ours is the canse ol truth snd justice—of our country ' s and the world ' s "redemption . We remain , Brethren , in fraternal brotherhood , Yturs , The Chabtists ot Biehikgham . W .

THE PEOPLE'S SYMPATHIES . We feel that we never before sat down to the performance of so solemn , so imperative a duty , as that which now devolves epon us . It would be in rain were we to attempt to describe the emotions which oppress us , or the sorrow which bows us down to the very earth . Absorbed as we are in the contemplation of the misery which iB now being endured by husbands and fathers , by wives aud mother ? , as well as by the anticipation of that fearful fate which awaits their helpless , their innocent offspring—every other consideration is borne away upon the wings of the regardless wind ! Is there a man , whatever his political creed , whose heart is not touched with compassion for the martyrs to their faith ! And shall we , whose sympathies , were their sympathies , deny them
the tribute of oir tears—of our consolation i It would be impossible to give any artificial coloring to the livieg wretchedness with which , day after , day , we are made acquainted . So apalliug , indeed , are the statements which we are doomed to hear , or read , that our energies have been well nigh paralyzed , while we have almost been tempted to doubt the sublime truth , " Verily , there is a God ! " We doubt not that our feelings have been Bbared by evtry Chartist in the Kingdsm ; but should we be mistaken—should there be on © -who dares to call himself by that name , who has no pity for the helpless , no arm for the defenceless—let such an one instantly depart out of our camp . But , brethren , we are persuaded better things of job . -&oaifr personally we kaQMoa not , we «| yet ima ? ine the burden of your tboogntB by day ' , Mer your reflections by night . By day , in the midBt of yonr toil for " the bread that perisheth . " your
thoughts have hovered about the loathsome cell , or vainly endeavoured to t-ace the track of the transported across the bosom of the deep , till some vision of horror extorted the groan that would not be stifled witkin your agonized breast . By night you have thought of the bereaved wife , anti the worse than orphan children . In your imagination you have beheld the poor solitary wetting her couch with her tears , and in ihe mid-t of her desolation , regardless of the importunities of her children crying for bread . All this jour imagination has pictured to you , and your inmost soul has shuddered at the bare contemplation of such awful realities . At tbat moment—in tbat hour of mental abstraction—what would you not have given could yon have restored the hnsband to the wite— the father to his children ! What , indeed ] But , a ^ as ! the consciousness of yonr inability —your utter helplessness—hung , like a millstone , about your heart , and , ' God help them ! " died upon your lips .
Men and brethren , aroHse ye from this lethergy of despair , and bethink you how best ye may succour the oppressed . Toas 3 isf yoa in this work of justice , as well as mercy , we now call upon each and every one of you to petition the Queen for a remission , or , at all event ? , for a mitigation , of tbe puni-hment , which the Judges have , in so manv instances so fearfully awarded . A petition to Parliament would be attended with no other benefit than that which might accrHe from so magnificent a demonstration ; but , thank God ! the Q , leen is not the Parliament . Every , city , town , village , and hamlet , in the
kingdom , should instantly Petition thb Theoxb . The petitions should have but one object—the release of the captives— ' the opening of the prison doors to them that are bound . " The petitions should be immediately transmitted to Sir James Graham > Her Mijesty ' s Secretary of State for the Home Department , for presentation to the Queen . This is one thing to be done . Another is 10 subscribe , to subscribe liberally , and to induce others to subscribe for the relief of the destitute families of the prisoners . YoHr money , though it cannot heal the broken heart may help to bind up its wounds ; and if so , will you withhold it i
Now , we feel that we should be insulting your hearts , as well as your heads , if we urged any other arguments in favour of jour petitioning the Throne , at the same time that you adopt the most effectual measures lor the nlief of those who . are trodden down under the foot of man . We , therefore content ourselves with commending the subject to your instant consideration , in the firm conviction that our appeal will not be made in vain . — Evening Star .

DEMOCBATlff Festival . —A dinner In honour of Messrs . Julian Harney and Samuel Parkes , took place on Wednesday evening , October 26 tb , in the Jorge room of the Dove and Rainbow , Hartshead . The dinner was intended to have been rather a private testimonial of esteem than b public demonstration , and was meant to be limited to a selest few , the friends of the above gentlemen ; . with these intentions no publis announcement of tbe dinner waa mode ; but , as it be ' came knewn , great was tho anxiety manifested to obtain tickets , and some hundreds would undoubtedly have honoured the entertainment with their presence had the necessary arrangements been made ; as it was the company numbered ttfty , the committee being under the disagreeable necessity of refusing tickets
to a large number of applicants . At seven o ' clock precisely the dinner waa announced to be ready and the company took their seats . Mr . Dyson presided , supported on his right by Mr . Harney and Mr . Parkes , and on bis left by Mrs . Harney and Mra . Patkes ; a . goodly number of the fair sex graced the assembly with their presence ; and among the guests were those talented and dauntless champions of the democratic cause , Mr . Bairstow and Mr . Beesley . Another gentieman ( who shall be nameless ) was also present—one of the many victims of Tory persecution . The substantials were excellent , and , of course , were done full justice to by the disciples of the knife and fork question The cloth having been removed , "We'll rally around him , " was sung in gallant style by the whole company
The Chairman gave the following toasts : —1 . " The sovereignty of the people . " Responded to by Mr . Edwin GUI . The ChartiBt National Anthem was then song by tbe whale ot ths company , 2 . " Our honoured guests , George Julian Harney and Simuel Parkes . and tke rest ef the political victims . " Responded to by Messrs . Harney and Parkes . Song , by Harney , — " The contest is for liberty . ' 3 . " Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., the people ' s hope—the tyrant ' s dread . " Responded to by ' Mr . Evinton . - Song , by Mr .

" The Northern and Evening Stars , and the rest of the deruocratio press . " Responded to by Mr . Bairstow in hid usual eloquent manner , calling forth tb . 9 rapturous
applause of bis hearers . Song by Mr . Wright , — - " The Land . " 6 th . " Thomas Duncombe , Esq ., M . P ., and all who dare to defend the rights of the people . " Responded to by the friend above described" Song by Mr . Harney , — "When this Old Cap was New . " 7 th . " The memories of the martyrs Holbeny ad Clayton , and all who bave struggle ! and died to establish the rights of man . " Recitation by Mr . Wm . Royton , — " The fall of Poland . " Volunteer toast , by B . Backworth , a Chartist school-boy , — " Young England—may the rising generation achieve and maintain the rights for which their fathers are so nobJy contending . '' The healths of Mr . Dyson , the chairman , and Mr . Ludham , the vice-chairman , were then given and responded to . many patriotic toasts , songs , and recitations followed , and it was not until a late or rather an early hour , that the company separated highly gratified with the "feast of reason and flow of soul" they hid eajoyed during the evening . .
Lecture . —A meeting crowded to excess was held in the Figtree-lane Room , on Thursday evening , October 27 th , to hear an address from that 6 loqueut champion of the rights of industry , Mr . J . R . H . Bairstow . The subject of his discourse was the present prosecutions . Mr . B . opened his address by commenting on . the services and characters of the Chartist leaders proscribsd by the existing despotism , passing a glowing eulogium upon his brother patriots . He next called up the persecutions of the past , more particularly thoso of the recreant Whigs . PLcanix-like Chartism had risen from Its ashes , and triumphed over the persecution of 1839 . The patriots then immured In solitary , foodless , tireless dungeons , bad emerged from their prison-cells to fight the battle anew , fearless of
the future ; and assuredly the present victims would play a part equally glorious . Even though death Bhonld eventually be the doom of some upon whom despotism bad fixed its claws- no matter—they would not shrink from tbe ordeal through which they must pass . Before new , patriots bave perished ; but they have gone to the tomb with the tears of millions watering their graves : they have their bright reward in the love and veneration in which their memories are held by the present generation , and will be held by generations yet to come through all succeeding ages . He called on them to fling to the winds all selfish considerations , and , firmly united , be prepared to do and daTe all for tbe common good . What was life without liberty ? what was life without tbe means of making all around one happy ? The Wood of martyrs would strengthen the cause , and ripen the fruit of liberty ' s tree .
Oar principles are individual and eternal—time cannot wither them—the sword cannot pierce them , cannon cannot destroy them , chains and racks cannot affect them —they are destined to triumph , their victory the voice of fate has decreed . Mr . Bairstow next held up tbe aristocratic principle to the scorn of bis hearers , and lashed in a masterly manner tbe craft and hypocrisy of the priesthood . Mr . B ., afttr speaking abont two hours , concluded by appealing to bis bearers to do their duty to tbe cause , and to see tbat while their leaders were immured in gloomy dungeons , the movement was not betrayed either into the hands of their despotic tyranta , or those false-hearted hypocrites who would seek to effaet . the same end by other but equally rieadly means . His concluding remarks were poured forth in a strain of eloquence which completely electrified the meeticg . and elicited the most enthusiastic aud deafening cheers .
Harmonic Meeting . —Last Saturday evening was held in Fig-Trea-lane room , the first of these social gatherings intended to be continued throughout the winter for tbe benefit of the local defence fund . The room was well filled , chiefly by the young men , but there were also present a good many ChartiBt couples who on their way to—or from the market , dropped in to find an hour's entertainment so cheaply provided for them . There was no lack of volunteers to favour tbe company with a song or recitation , and it is but justice to add tbat while most of the songs—patriotic , comic , and sentimental—were excellent , they were also well sung . Refreshments were provided , and we have rarely seen bo determined-to-be-happy a-looking company as that which we saw assembled together last Saturday evening .
Lecture . —Mr . William Beesley , the Hon of North Lancashire , lectured in the Fig Tree Lane Room , on Sunday evening . The room was crowded to excess , aad consequently the heat was most intolerable . Mr . Edwin Gill presided , and , as a matter of course , " We'll rally around him , " was the first anthem done full justice to by the voices of all present . Tbe Chartist LHany waa then read , and each appeal for right , and demand for justice was loudly responded to by the audience ; three verses of the Chartist National Anthem were then sung , at the conclusion of which , Mr . Beesley commenced bis address , not bermon , though he took for bis text a very appropriate verse from tbe book of Proverbs . Mr . B ., in a striking address , showed the present " generation of vipers whose , teeth are as swords , " by laying bare the rascality of the Corn Law Repealers and miilocrats . Turning from the villanies of tbe merchant princes , Mt . B . attacked , and exposed the corruption , profliiacy , and tyranny of the aristocracy and the
faction in power , and concluded by drawing an eloquent picture of the omnipotence of the mssses , powerfully appealing to his hearers to do their duty to their country , and their children by struggling tn the triumph of the Chatter . Mr . G . Julian Harney next addressed the meeting , and concluded by moving tbe following resolution : — " Tbat this meeting returns its hearty thanks to the brave Chartists of Birmingham for their noble opposition to the treacherous and libertioidial Corn Law Repealers . And this meeting pledges itself , if need be , to Imitate the noble example of their Birmingham brethren , resolutely resolved as tbey are , that in defiance of tyranny and treachery , tbey will perseverlngly struggle for the obtainment of tbe Charter , and that only , until it shall become tbe law of the land . " Mr . Samuel Paikes seconded the resolution , which was carried unanimously . " Men of England , ye are slaves , " was then sung , and the meeting separated . A large number of respectable female * were present
Thb Land , thb Land , thb Land l—Mr . William Beesley delivered & lecture on this " question of questions , " on Monday evening . Tbe room was crowded to suffocation . Mr . Evinson presided . The lecture was a most interesting exposition of faoti and figures , shewing tbe means by which the land might be obtained and worked , to the destruction of slavery and pauperism , and the establishment of freedom and happiness . Three times three tremendous cheers for the " Lion of North Lancashire" followed the conclusion of the lecture . " Well ralJy round him , " having being sung , the meeting dissolved . All present were highly delighted with Mr . Beesley and his lecture .

SALFORD HUNDRED SESSIONS . —Tuesday , November 1 . ' James Read , an elderly man , a shopkeeper , living at Heywoui , waa indicted for having , on Sunday the 14 th of August , at Heywood , endeavoured to persuade aud induce a number of people to assemble for riotous purposes . According to the testimony of Mr . Thomas Uewel ! iii , one of tho local constables of Bamford , a mob of between 600 and 700 persona assembled together near St . James's-street , in Heywood , on the morning of Sunday , the 14 th of August . Tho defendant
officiated as Chairman ; and , addressing his brother Chartists , he advised them , after having pulled out the plugs from the various manufactories , to go to the public-houses , and pull out the taps of the beer barrels . The earth , he said , would suck up the ale , and then they would have another " Moscow . " He afterwards described himself as r Jacobin of thirty years ' standing , and said , that the Charter was going on very prosperously , and must ultimately be carried . The defendant proposed , that delegates should bo selected out , of the meeting to go to other towns ; and , when he talked of having another " Moscow , " the people commenced cheering and clapping their hands .
Mr . Newellin , on being cross-examined by Mr . Cobbett , stated , that the police force assembled waa too small to disperse the mob , but that the defendant ultimately dispersed the people himself ; finding that , when a collection was made for defraying the expenses of the delegates , the whole amount raised , was only fivepence halfpenny ! In the course of his cross-examination , the witness said that one of the individuals who had taken part in . the proceedings was sentenced to be imprisoued for sis months , at the special commission at Liverpool .
Mr . Cobbett animadverted in severe terms on this disclosure , as calculated to prejudice the case of the defendant ; and the witness , after much hesitancy and evasiveness , admitted that he could not prove the conviction of the person alluded to of his own knowledge , bub that the fact had been communicated to him by another constable , and that his having mentioned the circumstance , unsupported by such knowledge * was deoideiy improper , inasmuch as i 6 was not evidence . In answer to another question by Mr . Cobbett , the witness said , he would not undertake to swear that the defendant might not have used words to qualify those which formed the main ground of allegation , as there was a great noise , and he could not distinctly hear all that waa said .
Another constable , named —— Howarth , corroborated the statement of Newellin , as to the fact of tha defendant being Chairman of the meeting , and the number of persons assembled , but he varied in the simile said to have been used , and , to the best of his recollection , he thought the word employed was " Hamburg , " allnding as he imagined , to the recent conflagration at that place . The witness , however appeared to be doubtful on the point , observing that , when the allusion was made , the church bells commenced ringing , and the defendant made nearly as great a noise by the extraordinary pitch to which he raised his voice . —Mr . Cobbetfc addressed the court at considerable length on behalf of the accused , contending that the evidence of
seditious language having been used by the defendant , resting , as it did , on the imperfect recollection of two constables , was wholly insufficient to support the charge . The learned gentleman proceeded to call a man named Amos Smith , a blacksmith , living at Heywood , to prove that Read had not used the language imputed to him . —Previous to his examination Mr . Brandt , counsel for the prosecution , asked the witness whether he believed in the existence of God ; to which he replied in the affirmative , and denied that he had ever avowed himself an atheist . In answer to a question by Mr . Cobbett , Smith denied that the defendant had made any allusion to Moscow or Hamburg ; and that when he spoke of " plugging beer barrels , " he referred to the
time of the Irish rebellion , when the people were made drunk by the gratuitous distribution of' intoxicating liquors , and , being under that influence , they committed acts of aggression against person and property , and were afterwards cut to pieces by the military . The witness avowed himself a Chartist , because he believed in the principles embodied in the Charter . He denied having any revolutionary object in view ; aud said that all ho wanted was to get a good living both for the aristocracy and himself . Mr . Brandt , in his cross-examination , handed to the witness two murderous-looking weapons , and asked him whether he had not been concerned in the making or polishing of them ; he positively
denied all knowledge of them ; as also the imputation that he was a maker of . ** pike-heads . ' Ihe witness Btated that there was what was termed » " Victoria Fund" in existence at Heywood , the subscription arising from which was appropriated t » the defence of those who were prosecuted for their political opinions . Two other witnesses of the names of Howarth and Bates , living at Heywood , were examined in favour of the defendant ; and they also denied the use of " the language imputed to him . Mr . Brandt having replied , the Learned Chairman summed up the evidence , and the jury then retired to consider their verdict . After deliberating for upwards of half an hour , they returned aver diot of Guilty of attending an illegal meeting . "—Sentenoe deferred till the following morning .
