    DUNDEE . GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF PRINCIPLE OVER DELUSION . The anti-Corn Law gentlemen , in acordance "with the tactics of the party throughout the country , on hearing the result of Tamworth Bob's five months ' daliberation , resolved to get up a public meeting to denounce the sliding scale , to petition the House of Commons against it , and memorialise her Majesty for the dismissal of the present Ministry . They presented a requisition to the Provost , Eigned by abous ' 250 merchants , manufacturers , and shopkeepers , and he fixed the meeting to be held en Monday , the 28 £ h ult ., at one p . m ., on the M&gdalen Yard Green .

    On the Wednesday preTiou 3 , the Secretary of the Democratic Council , received a letter from the Secretary of the Complete Suffrage Association , suggesting a conference between the Council and the Committes of the latter body , in order to come to an -unatiaaous resolution on the Suffrage , as they understood that that question would come before the meeting at the conclusion of the Corn Lawtusiness . The council had previously resolved to move amendments to any resolution that might be submitted to the meeting , pledjaug them to agitate in any way on the Corn Laws ; and , at their meeting on Friday evening , preparatory to the conference with the * Srarge party , ' they resolved to adhere to their former decision ; and five members were appointed to

    confer with the other committee . On their meeting , the Secretary of the Complete Suffrage Association said they wished to know what course the Chartists intended to pursue on the Suffrage being brought before the meeting . He was informed that they in tha ; master would be guided by circumstances ;—that in the event of a motion being submitted for complete or universal suffrage , it would be met by an amendment for the Charter , aad that the Chartists would not agree to any resolution for any thing Ie 3 s . A copy of a resolution was submitted to them which received the approbation of almost all tue members of the Complete Suffrage Committee . This matter , then , seemed to be settled , but thes came the question of questions . How do y ouintend to act on the Corn Law

    question ! " asked the Complete Suffrage Patriots . (?) There was the rub . " They were told the course intended to be pursued by the council—a course which the Sturgites considered to be very unwise , Tery ill-judged , and calculated to injure the cause of Chartism . " The deputation of course gave an opposite opinion ; it was policy they had successfully pursued-with great advantage to lkeir cause , as was evidenced by the formation of Complete Suffrage Associations among the middle classes , who would not have gone that length had it not been for the opposition given to the anti-Corn Law movement by the Chartists . The deputation wished one of the other party to more , second , or support the resolution , which was of a sort agreed to by both parties ;

    but none being present who would undertake to do ibis , it was agreed that six of each Committee should meet on Saturday evening , to make the final arrangements . They met as agreed upon ; but instead of settling about speakers , the time was spent in discussing the policy of opposing the resolutions on tha Corn Livrs . The Chartists still adhering to their former resolve , the meating broke up , the Complete Suffrage men declaring that the conference would do more harm than good , as they thought it would break up their association . The greatest txcitementprevailed on Monday ; by twelve o ' clock , the streets were thronged with working men , hurrying to the ? eene of action ; a fixed

    determination to standby the right visible on their honest open countenances . By one o ' clock , 16 , 000 or 18 , 000 persons were congregated round the hustings . Edwabd Baxter , E- ? q ., "vrua unanimously called to the chair . He opened the business by commenting on the conduct of magistrates , their refusal to preside , and the holding of the meeting on the Magdalen Yard Grc \ , insieadof the High-street , during this inclement men of the year . He contrasted the conduct ., Provost Lawson , the present chiefmagistrate , in refusing to preside over such an important meeting of the whole inhabitants as the present convened by himself , and the conduct of the ProTOSts , Hackney and Johnstone , who , when "they convened a portion of the inhabitants only presided

    at the meetings . He Teaa a letter he had received from the Town Clerk , stating that the magistrates had learned that other business than that mentioned in the requisition , was to be brought before the meeting , and that an effiuy of Sir Robert Peel was to be paraded through the streets , and afterwards burned in the Market-place , and expressing their disapproval of such proceedings , and holding him responsible for fie peace of the town . He had . returned for answer that he knew nothing of the effigy until that moment ; that he saw it in the street , and that the magistrates should now , as always , be prepared to preserve the peace—( cheers ) . He then stated the business of the meeting , enjoining them to preserve order , and promised a fair hearing to all who wished to address the meeting .

    Mr . Alexander Ealson , manufacturer , in a specib . composed of the usual anti-Corn Law a-gnments , moved the following resolution : — '' That this meeting considers the sliding scale of dntlfs on foreign grain , proposed by Sir Robert Peel , 23 as insult and a mockery to the patient and longsaSsdng people ; and tMs meeting balieres that the Government would not have proposed such a measure hsA net the patience of the people , under their wrongs , induced the aristocracy to believe that they wonld submit io anything however oppressive aad unjust "

    This was seconded by W . G . Baxter , Esq ., who apologised for the absence of his brother , through indisposition , who intended to second the resolution . Mi . Johs Dcscar stated that he cordially . agreed ¦ wiih the latter part of the resolution—the patience of the people had emboldened others than the aristocracy to oppress them . The resolution was passed unanimously . The Rev . Mr . GrLFixLAik in one of the most ludicrous and bombastio speeches we ever had the misfortune to listen to , moved the following resolution . " That lh' « meeting declares its conviction that tie ffiseniial food of man 1 b exempt , by the iavra of nature and Providence , from all liability to restriction or taxation ; and that every interferenca with its free exchange far the honest industry of the labouring classes is immoral and irreligious . " TheRer . Mr . Spskcebriefly seconde 4 the resolution , which was agreed to .

    At this stage of the proceedings Daniel McEwen , Esq ., writer , was appointed clerk to the meeting . tHosus Sauxdbbs , Esq ., merchant , in movingihe next resolution , declared his conviction that-justice would never be done to the people without a change in the representative system of the country . The re-Bolution was as follows : — " That a memorial to the Queen and a * petition to Parliament be presented from thig meeting , in accordance "with these resolutions , the memorial to the Qaeen praying that her Slsjesty will dismiss from her Councils , her present Ministers as altogether incompetent and unwilling to conduct the affairs of this great nation on the rjrmciplea of justice and humanity . "

    Seconded by D . McEwes , Esq ., who declared that he was as great a Reformer as any man present , yet refused to officiate as clerk , because he anticipated an amendment being proposed . David retired amid the disapprobation of the meeting . Mr . JohsDuscak then came forward , and was received min loud cheers . He reviewed the speeches of the previous speakers , especially the effusions of the parsons , amidst lond bursts of applause . He characterised them aB hypocrites , for standing aloof from the agitation for the right 3 of the people , yet joining the manufacturers in their cry for cheap bread . He earnestly called upon the people to stand firm to their principles , and concluded by moving the following amendment to the resolution : —

    " That it is the opinion of this meeting that the many evils cf which the working classes of Britain hare to complain arise principally from class legislation , --asd Trill continue to exist , in one form or another , until the 'whole male population above twenty-one years of age , be in possession of the right of electing men to represent them in the House of Commons , according to the plan of representation denominated" the People ' s Charter ; and , being convinced that the repeal of any bad law would fail to remedy the ptIsting distress—{ so long as the power of lav making resti in the hands of the middle and higher classes alone )—and that it would be a profligate -waste of toe means and energies of the people , « Bd a mockery of tbeir miseries to agitate for anything short of the fall measure of their rights , hereby resolve to agitate for tie enactment into law of tile People ' s Charter , and to give ne countenance or support to any movement for a less measure of justice . " ( Great cheerine . ) _ . *

    _ . . „ Mr . W . Davidson seconded the amendment . He nrged the people to be firm and rely upon themselves , as they could expect no support from either Whigs rTories . - Mr . Pbtkbkik supported the amendment . Tho Chaibmam then took the vote , when the handB of the vast multitude were raised for the jtmapfl nian ^ and few , very few indeed , against it . The Chairman declared the amendment carried by a large majority ; we should say "by at least fifty to one . His announcement of the vote was received with rapturous applause , whieh lasted for some tnimtt fif . The Chairjias wished to know if Mr . Dnnean intended to embody the resolution in & petition . Mr . Dukcan aid he had no objection , and moved a resolution , accordingly .

    Tie anti-Corn Law party then insisted thafciie spirit of all the resolutions should be-embraced in the petition . This was objected to by the Chartists . Alter some discussion , Mr . Duncan withdrew his motion , and Mr . Peterkin , jun ., moved the adoption of a petition embracing the spirit of all the resolutions , wnich was seconded by Mr . Alex . Young . Mr . Thoxas Abdxrsoh moved that there be no petition , which was seconded by Mr . J . M'Phkesoh The moHon-wm supported by Messrs . Wi « bton andHrazzft .

    On being put to the vote , the amendment was carried by a large majority . A clerk being required to draw up the minutes of the meeting , Mr . John Hunter and Mr . James M'Phereon were severally proposed . On a vote boing taken Mr . James M'Pherson was elected by a large majority , After a hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman for his impartial condnct in the chair , and three cheers for the Charter , the meeting quietly dispersed . This was truly the most important meeting held in Dundee since the commencement of our agitation . On its decision depended the existence of Chartism

    in this quarter , and it has really decided this . It has strengthened us , secured our supremacy as the leading and only oolitical party , and verified the prediction of the Complete Suffrage ssera , for it has not only destroyed them , but laid the last clod on the grave of the poor " corn craiks . " Add Dundee to the list of victories . Right has obtained over might ; let those who have not yefc met the deluders follow our example . On onx return from the meeting , we beheld the foolish display of the burning of Peel ' s effigy . Faugh ! Is this the " respectable" mode of agitation ?

    SINCERITY OF THE ANTI-CORN LAW LEAGUE MEN IN THEIR ADVOCACY OF CHARTIST PRINCIPLES . Evebt week , and almost every day , is now big with events tending to prove that our advice to the people to " take care of themselves" in the proposed and eagerly seught for alliance of their new friends , the Corn Law repealing " Extension " men , was founded on a clear and right view of tho character of these worthies .

    In our last , we noticed a great public meeting at Wolrerhampton , in which it appeared from the face of the resolutions , of the speeches , and of tho whole proceedings , that " the entire animal" had been bolted without the least wincing . The Charter was acknowledged in the first resolution to be tha first thing necessary to be gone for , as a means whereby relief from unjust legislation was to be had . The resolution was moved by one of their first-rate men ; it contained no reference to any distinct agitation for Corn Law Repeal now , but referred to the Charter as the thing to be obtained . Hera it is : —

    " That the distress under which the people of this town and district are now—and have been for so long suffering—is caused by the laws which restrict the importation of food ; that the ministerial proposal for the amendment of throe laws adds insult to injury by its mockery of relief ; that the certa ntv of such amendment being carried by the majority oi the members of the present House of Commons , is a proof of the necessity of putting an end . to . theie and other evils of class legislation , by such extension of the franchise as shall cscure to all ranks of the people that full , fair , and free representation , as defined ' in the People ' s Charter , to which on the- principles of the constitution they are entitled . " The only other resolution , a memorial la the Queen , was of a precisely similar character ,

    praying : — "That , as your petitioners have been denied justice by ihe llouse of Commons as at present constituted , they beg that your Majesty will take such measures a 3 shall seenre to your people a full , fair , and free representation , as define i by the Peopled Charter . This memorial was seconded by a Mr . Keitle ; and a very pretty Chprtist kettle he boiled . We have not read a more excellent Chartist spesch thiB long time than than this same Mr . Kettle ' s speech , as reported in the " Plague ' s" organ , The Staffordshire Examiner , sare that it smacks a leetle too strongly of Baillie Jabvey ' s het poker . " That from a newly converted Whig is a thing of course ; and it was beside so nicely M bevilled off" that it

    might pass , upon the whole , for a very capital initiatory Whig-Chartist introduction to the school of peaceful agitation . Take a sample of it from the Plague's organ : — "From all he had witnessed during his time , he was now convinced that the representative system was defective ; and that nothing but a full , fair , and free representation of tho people could lead them to hope for any justice . The legislative and executive in this country were based upon the principle of aristocracy , and that alone . Labour wa 3 the only property not recognised by the constitution . The principle of aristocracy had been tried and found wanting , The intelligence of the age had condemned it . The aristocracy had cried " no

    surrender . " Let the people shout baek again "to the principle of aristocracy no quarter "—( loud cheers . ) The repeal of the Corn Law would give them the key of the cupboard ; but Universal Suffrage would give them the key of the whole house—( great cheering ) . They had that day fully and fairly taken up that question ; and it would pe for them to ' say whether thay were to go on with it—( cheers , and erici of " yes , yes ") . Let them remember that they had tried the constitution , and the pinch-point must come soon . They all felt that they were upon the eve of great events—( hear , hear ) . Men had begun to contemplate things that were not talked about . Ho was not an advocate for physical force ; but there must be a mighty change , or the bond 3 of society will be broken asunder . "

    Now - we ask gravely if a fairer seeming could be asked for by the people than that which this meeting exhibits of a hearty co-operation of the "plague" men with the Chartists , a determined effort for " full , fair , and free representation" ! So adroitly were all things managed that Duffy who was there said that : — " Ho and his brother Chartists had come there tha ; day determined , if any trickery had been practised , to move an amendment ; but when he saw

    men coming out honestly and justly , as the gentlemen around him had done , io obtain their rights then he would Bay all opposition ought to cease— to be buried and forgotten for ever . He would say , let them be peaceable , loyal , and just , above all things ; and constitutionally attend to their own rights . Let them go forth , and they would obtain the Charter . Les every man present join the Charter Asssociation . He was proud to see the unanimity that prevailed amongst the middle and working classes of this town . "

    Certainly if anything betoken unanimity , and be calculated to give the appearance of sincerity to the proceedings of the " Plague" men , this meeting did do so . What is the fact \ What were its results % Did it end in the whole bevy of " respectable" middle class " Plague" men going down to tho Chartist room . 3 and enrolling their names as members 1 Weie the subscription lists to all the valuable public Chartist machinery for keeping up the agitation for , and ultimately securing "full , free , and fair representation , as defined by the

    People ' s Charter , " immediately swelled out with the contributions of their new-born allies , that the mutual desire might be speedily accomplished ? Not a bit of it ! It ended in Mr . Kettle's going down to the Chartist Boom to tell the people honestly that his speech in the afternoon had been " all gammon ; " that notwithstanding his hatred of class legislation , and Mb anxiety for the principles of the Charter , ho had no purpose to have any other connection with the Chartists than to use them as tools for the carrying of Com Law Repeal Hear him , as xeported by the Plague ' s" organ : —

    " Mr . Kettle proceeded to state that he was reluctantly compelled to harbour such misgivings as to prevent his formally joining the National Charter Association , until he should be better satisfied as to its Executive . He told them that he held in his band a publication bearing the authority of Feargus O'Connor , which convinced him that that individual was an enemy to free trade , and one by , or with whom , no Corn Law Repealer , desiring to adopt the Charter as a means to an end , coald consent to be led or allied . Mr . Settle then proceeded to read and comment on several of the extracts from the

    Untitled Article

    Northern Star , which will be found in our leading article ; and concluded by declaring that , as he could not consent to attach himself to a party by whose recognised heads the motives and efforts of the free tradera were abused , and by whom free trade itself was condemned , he must receive an unequivocal assurance that tho Chartists bound themselves to no men ( Feargus O'Connor , or any one else , ) who pursued that course ; but that , on the contrary- they renounced tho influence of all such persons , before he ( Mr . Kettle ) would complete the compact at issue . "

    Now , whether is this fellow a greater knave or fool ? He professes to seek the Charter as a means to an end ; that end being the repeal of the Corn Laws ; he avows his conviction that the Corn Laws cannot be repealed until the people have that "full , fires , and fair representation , aa defined by the People ' s Charter , to which they are entitled by the Constitution ; " he avows his conviction that the Corn Laws produce all the distress of the country ; that they must be repealed , and that they neveb can be repealed until the Charter has been got ; and yefc he refuses to go for the Charter

    b : cauee Feargus O'Connob , and the Northern Star , and some other parties , have denounced the " Plague" as insincere in their agitation Could he have furnished better evidence of that insincerity ; at all events as far as he is concerned ? If the Char ' er be the only means for Repealing the Corn Laws , and if the Repeal of the Corn Laws be the one great thing wanted , what need he care about any misoheivous influence of O'Connor and the Northern Star ! Surely the whole Leaguejwith its mighty array of " influence" and talent , and wealth , and itd many , very many " best possible

    mstrnctors , " are more than sufficient to counterbalance any nugatory influence which might be exercised by one man and one newspaper ! Where then is the mighty boggle ? The rogues know that they dont me si to go for the Charter at all ; that they mean only , if possible , to " gammon the flats , " and they know that while the influence of Feaegos and the Star continues they can ' t do it ; they will be tou closely watched ! Hence the organ of this Mr . Kettle , the "Plague" msi—the Staffordshire

    Examiner , —in the very same paper which reports this meeting , occupies feur mortal columns , exactly oneseventh part of hi 3 whole papei , with a laboured and most villanously Jesuitical . justification of the course pursued by Mr . Kettle , de&ifcQed to quieten the consciences of tho more honest of their followers , and to persuade them that though they voted for the Charter , and introduced it into their memorial to gull the Chartists ; that though they have : — .

    "Apparently ( tho italics arehia own ) extended the right hand of political fellowship and bent the knc 3 of woliticp - obedience to the diEciples and paid agents of the monopoly-supporting Feargus O'Con nor—to the approvers of the blood-spilling Fro ^ t , Williams , and Jones , and to the perpetrators of the Tory-fermentc J disturbances at anti-Corn Law meetings . * * * * * * The ralion ? l and consistent Reformers of this borough are no more Chartists or less resolute Corn Law Repeahrs than ever they were . "

    Now , then , Chartists ! what say you to your new allies ? Did we not tell you that they were " pigs with soaped tails" ? ! Wolverhampton is not the only instance of this honourable dealing of the new converts to Chartism and " Complete Suffrage . " At Huddertfield , in Jike manner , they sought to carry with them po pular support by uniting tb . 8 Suffrage with the Corn Law question , in precisely like manner—as a means t an end . Their sincerity here , as at Wolverhampton , appears in its true light when viewed in connection with the following placard , plentifully distributed on the day of meeting : —

    " Corn Law Repealees . —Whatever resolutions you adopt this evening , respecting the Suffrage , take care that you do net let that ouestion take the place of Frc 3 liade and Cheap . uread . If you should sink agitation for the Repeal of the Bread Tax , in attrition for the extension of tho Suffrage , that Tax , with all its disastrous consequences , must continue for i . ome years . But if you can honc 3 tly and cordially unite for an agitation of the two objects distinct , tou are sure to succeed i . n getting rid of the bread tax in a very short time . "

    However , the Huddersfiold " lads" met them well and bravely ; their " Complete Suffrage" humbug , with which they hoped to get in the thin end of the wedge , waa rightly shivered by Clayion , with his amendment—11 That it is the cpinicu of this meeting , that to secure a real , full , free , and fair representation of the whole people in the Commons' House of Parliament , the whole of tho principles contained in the People ' s Charter , viz : Universal Suffrage , Vote by Ballot , Annual Parliaments , No Property Qual'ficat'on , Payment of Membera , and Electoral Districts , must become the law of tho land , the whole of which are requisite 3 nd necess ? -y to secure a real and efficient repretantation . "

    The people showc d that this was their opinion by leaving the humbugs with just four hands to clap each other , and keep out the cold for their "Complete Suffrage" move . The thin end of the wedge having be 3 n thus disposed of , Clayton again let fall the sledge-hammer of Chartism upon the thick end by moving , as an amendment to Mr . Copstack ' s motion for a continuance of the Corn Law agitation , ' That the agitation for the whole Charter take precedence of all other agitations . " This floored the hypocrites at once , and left honesty triumphant . So let it be in every place and our cause is safe , and liberty shall shortly greet us with her invigorating smile .

    We are happy to perceive that our counsels have not been slighted . The people have , in almost every place , recovered the falso step they made in one or two places , of joining with the traitors . The Merthyr Tydvil people , at a full meeting , held on Monday evening , resolved" That eveiy approach towards an . union with the Corn Law League must be regarded as a direct step towards a betrayal of the Chartist cause ; and that every public meeting which neglects to affirm tho adoption of the People's Charter as the only remedy for the distresses of the people must be considered an compromising the great right of the working classes to a share in the making of the laws . "

    This is the true position for the people ; and the only safe one . And though in one or two places the English . ChartistB have suffered their national failing of good nature and unsuspectingness to betray them half into the toils , the Scotch lads are " wide awake " to it . AH glory to the men of Dundee ! The " canny £ 3 otB"have done it well ! We have seldom been more delighted thrn we were on readiDg the report which appears in our present paper of the utter overthrow , discomfiture , and annihilation of the " corn craiks" by tho "bonnie lads" of Dundee . They were , indeed , well met I Every fold

    of the foul serpent was laid open—every trick foiled ; a more perfect triumph could not have been obtained ; nor do we ever remember to have seen a display of more wily and well arranged tactics than those of the Anti-corn Law men on this occasion . They first felt their way through the medium of their friends , the " complete suffragists "—they then tried " the artful dodge" of moving resolutions merely de nunciatory of the evils of bad legislation , without pledging even to any future line of condust , in the hope of getting the blind Bide of the meeting by embodying , not the resolutions , but the spirit oi the resolutions , in the

    memorialthe formal voice of the meeting ; which would have enabled them to breathe into those resolutions the foul ijririt of patchwork , in the form of an exclusive or unduly prominent prayer for Corn Law Repeal . It was a deep trick , well played , and cleverly stopped . We fear nothing , for the people with so much quickness and good sense about them , as this and the Haddersfield meeting shew . We defy any set of sophists , or tricksters in the world , now , to " palaver" them out of their watchfulness . They will keep to the right road , and they will compel all travellers to go with them or stand out of the way .

    PUBLIC FUNDS , —To prevent mistakes , let it be especially noted that all monicq received by our Cashier for the various Chartist funds are acknowledged by him in the column \ 6 f " Notices to Correspondents , " and that he is answerable only for t % e sums there advertised to have been received . Money Orders to this Office . —Our cashier is frequently made to endure an amount of inconvenience utterly inconceivable hy those who have not multifarious transactions like his to attend to , by tf } e negligence of parties not attending to the plain instructions so often given , to make all money orders sent here payable to Mr . John Ardill . Some orders are made payable to Mr . O'Connor—some to Mr . Hobson—sotne to Mr . Hill—some to Star , Office ; .: all these < require the

    signatures of the person in whose favour they are drawn before the money can be got . This causes an attendance at the post-office of , sometimes , several hours , when a few minutes might suffice \ f all were rightly given—not to mention the most vexatious delays of payment sometimes caused by it . Several old agents , who certainly ought to know better , have often thus needlessly inconvenienced us ; we , therefore , beg ; that all parlies having money to send to the Star Office for papers , by order , will make their orders payable to Mr . John Ardill ; if they neglect this , we shall not hold ourselves bound to attend to them ; ifi therefore , they find their neglect to : produce inconvenience to themselves , let them hot blame us .

    A few remarks upon the proceedings at the late meeting in Paradise-square , are necessary ; at that meeting Messrs . Otley and GUI supported a resolution for universal suffrage andthe ballot ; I seconded an amendment for the Charter , whole and entire , ¦ which , thanks to the sound principle and sterling honesty of the people was carried by a triumphant majority . By way ef excusing themselves for the false position they had taken up , Messrs . Otley and Gill stated that the resolution which , they supported had been promised support by myself and others , and that we afterwards retracted that promise ; that they , Messrs . Otley and Gill being honourable men , valuing their reputation and their word , would not do the same , hence they supported the resolution . Noyr hear the facts of the can . - ; . . ¦ ¦ ¦' . ;¦ . ¦ ' ¦¦ > ,. : . ' ,: ' ¦ ¦ ' - . . ' . .. ' ' : ¦ ' ' . - ' > : . ; . . It is true that on the Tuesday eve preceding the meeting in the Square , a hasty and reluctant assent was given by certain members of the council to the said resolution ; but the folly of the step was seen almost as soon as taken , ami at a general meeting of the council held next day , it was resolved that the sense of the Association at large should be taken that evening , and that , in the interim , the hasty and ill-advised decision of the previous evening should be annulled . A meeting cf members and friends of the Association took place in the evening , at which there could not have been less than five hundred persons present , when , with the exception of three or four individuals , the said resolution was unanimously condemned , and it wco resolved that an amendment for the whole Charter snouid be proposed whenever the meeting ( not then announced ) should take place .

    Messrs . Otley and Gill condemn the council for having first promised a certain thing and then retract ing their promise . The doctrine of these gentlemen is , that the council having done a certain thing , no matter whether right or wrong , the Association is bound to 8 ubmit j a doctrine more subversive of the " sovereignty of the peepie , " was certainly never yet broached by Whig or Tory . Suppose - ; ve had a House cf Commons elected by . Universal Suffrage , who , in their legislative capacity were guilty of some erroneous or tyranical act , according to Messrs . Otley and Gill the people are bound

    to submit because they have elected that House of Commons . I think different ; my creed is , that the people can never be divested , or divest themselves of their natural and rightful sovereignty , and that when their representatives fail to do right it is the prerogative of the people to over-rule their deoision . Acting upon these principles , the Council submitted their vote to the Association ; by it that yote yraa condemned . The course to be pursued was marked out by the Asso ciation ; and , in taking the part myself and others did take in the Square , we bat obeyed the voice , and carried out the will of the people . ' : .. ¦¦ .

    Messrs . Otley and Gill ; would fain have had yon believe that it was a high sense of honour on their part that compelled them to support the Whig-concocted resolution ; to believe them , they expected help instead of opposition from myself and those who acted with me . Sweet innocents ! What are the facts of the case ? .. . ;>¦/ .: . ; . ¦ . ¦ *¦ .. '¦ : " . ¦"¦ '¦ ¦¦ ¦¦ . ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ . .. :- ' ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦¦¦ . ' . ¦ ' ; " ¦ . " ¦ - ¦/ On Wednesday , the 16 th , ( two days before the meeting , ) by half-past two o'clock , Mr . Otley had placed in his hands a letter stating that the Council had annulled tha vote of the preceding evening , and that tho whole matter would be brought before the Association . In the letter Mr . O . was requested to 8 ummoa his Council or Associatien for that evening , to know the deoision of the Asaoeiation meeting in Fig-tree Lane . Here was due notice given to Mr . Otley that the vote of the previous evening had been rescinded by the Council * and that the Asaociattptt would probably do the

    same . What did Mr . Otley do ? Did he come to the meeting in Fig-trea lane , to learn tha sentiments of the people ? No ; but a meeting was held at the " Political Institute , " and the parties there assembled were , by Mecrsrs , Otley , Gill , and Co ., pledged to support the humbug resolution . V . ¦ But I maintain , that Independent of the decision of the Association , the council was not bound to abide by its original vote j that Vote was agreed to upon certain conditions , the conditions were , that the C 6 rnL < tw Repealers , as a doiiy , should give their support to the resolution ; was those conditions fulfilled ? NO . ' True the resoiutiGn was supported by Mr . Palfreynian , ( where , —aye where is Holberry ?)—by the illustrious Mr . Wardle . by the patriotic Mr . Harvey , of Chartist

    Camp-meeting notoriety , who has been " all things by turns and nothing long , " and by certain " go-betweens i " W wit , Mr . "New-move" Allen and Co , Bat , did Mr . Ibbeteon and tho other " great guns" of the Anti-Corn Law men promise their support of the resolution ? ( Mr . Ibbettson will tell you , you are " top ignorant for the suffrage . ") Sid the body of the Corn Law Repealers promise their support ? Did , or will , their organ the Independent , give the resolution its support ? No I no ; H-. ro then the original conditions were not complied with . Messrs . Otley and Gill knew this ; what humbug then on their part it was to talk their high-flown stuff about " honour" and " reputation , " when , as their ach testify they were consigning you over to the Whijs , who would deceive and betray yon again , as once too olten they have done before . ^

    ; I have now a few words with Mr . Gill particularly . To believe this gentleman he is the most disinterested of politicians , and altogether above' the thought of living by potation , or accepting : of anything from the people in return for hia very important service ? . I do not think this gentleman worth any recrimination on my part , or I might show that Mr . Gill's services have not been , and are not of that disinterested character he would fain have the public believe . Mr . Gill thought projr 3 r to denounce me aa being the paid tool of Feargus O'Connor . On the spot , and before he had time even to turn round , I challenged him to meet me at the close of the business for which the meeting had been convened , and there make good , if he could , bis insulting calumny ; but , where was he when called for ? The bird wrs flown ; like some serial sprite he had vanished ! : " Tell it not in Gate , " the valiant denunciator had prudently withdrawn by a back do » r . ¦ •¦ ¦ " . ' - ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ' " - ' - ' - ' :- . '¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ '• . ' " . ¦ '¦ - ¦¦¦• V " - . ; . ' :

    My friends , it is quite true , that I am employed by Mr . O'Connor as reporter , or correspondent for the Nortliem Star , an occupation ef which I am not at all ashamed . I maintain I have as much right to receive payment in return for my services , as any cutler has to receive his wages at the close of his week ' s work . What sort of a tool I am to Mr . O'Connor , ; I leave you to judge , when I solemnly assure you that during the six months , I have filled the situation , I at present hold , I have not received a single letter , or solitary line of a letter , from Mr . O'Connor . Mr . Gill has boasted , in his private coteries , of what he could do—and what he would do ; that he could make me a pill I would not swallow , && . &C . I now tell him that my ptiblie and privat : character will both dare and bear comparison with his . I repeat my challenge , if he has any charges to prefer against me , let him meet me in Paradise Square , and there , before the great tody of the people will I confront him .

    Mr . Otiey , too , dps made " more free than welcome " with my name ; but , wicsr in his generation than his Mend Mr . Gill , he has confined his slanderous statements to his own shop . I know that he has repeatedly slandered me as being , or having been "in the pay of the Tories . " At last I have the means of naming time and place . In his own shop , en Tuesday , the 16 th of February , he there stated , in the presence of the under-named persons , " That Harney , and other Chartist leaders , were , or had be an , in the pay of the Tories ; that he strongly Brspeetcd O'Connor was in their pay ; and always had suspected it since he wrote his letters to the Irish Landlords . " The persons who will testify to the foregoing , are Messrs . Clarkson and Fry , of Sheffield ^ and Mr . Wm . Jones , the Noith-Ridirig Lecturer . I shall C 3 very brief with Mr . Qtley ; I defy him to prove the truth of bis dirty calumny .

    Let me whisper a word of cwtiou to Mr . Otley . If his contemptible cl /— " in the pay of the Tories" is continued to be raised against honest men , it may be that the parties raising that cry , will themselves be suspected by the people of being in the pixy of the Whigs ! ¦ ¦ / ¦ - ' . ¦ ' , - . ¦ ¦¦ ¦ - , -: ¦ : >¦ ¦ ¦ . ' ..: , ,. ¦ ..- ¦ . Brother Democrats , why am I slandered as being " in the pay of the Tories ? " Because I will not do the pirty work of the Whig ? . Why am I denounced as being the " paid tool of Feargua O'Connor ? " Because I will not ta the " tool" of the humbugs who would sell you to the bloodiest and most r-jpociltical of factions that ever cursed a country with their existence .- ' ¦'¦ - ' ' ¦ / .. " - ¦ ¦ ¦¦ ¦ : ' .. ¦{ .-..- ....

    Friends and Brother Chartists the foregoing will have shown you that while the blows of faction are seemingly aimed at me , they are intended to strike down one higher aud of more importance to the cause than myself ; it is your iDcorrapfcible , unflinching champion O'Connor , whom these fastionists would destroy . Thank God they will miserably faiL But " to be forewarned is to be fore-armed . " Can these men be Chartists who would destroy him who has braved the storm of persecution , and resisted every Beduotien to betray you ? No , brothers , no ; his enemies and denunciators are not to bo trusted , they are Whiggis ^ i to the heirta' core .

    Look at the Independent of Saturday last ; see the contempt with which those who really represented you at the Paradise Square meeting are treated ! while Mister Otley and Mister Gill are held up as the leaders of "the intelligent division of the Chartists of Sheffield . " I wish these gentlemen ( the aforesaid Misters ) joy of the raptures they must feel in the embrace of their new " doxy / ' the loathsome old hag " , Whiggery . :- ¦ : ' / ' :. . ' . - ¦' . . ¦ . ' . . ' ; ¦ ¦ -- : :-y ~ Brother democrats , from the first day I set foot in

    Sheffield , to the present hour , my destruction has been sought by the faction meeting at the Whig trap , alias the Political Inatitat 3 . I have tried concession and conciliation too long . Henceforth , I treat them as ( what I take them to be ) enemies of the cause and of myself . With my past publio life , and my every act and word , since I became a resident in Sheffield , to testify to my integrity , I hurl defiance in their teeth , and rely with full confidence upon the support of the people , in whose service I have struggled and suffered , whose cause I have never betrayed .

    To conclude , never in the annals of our movement stood Chartitm in the proud position it now occupies ; but beware , lest this seeming hour of our triumph should be the hour of our fall . The middle class are becoming converts to our principles . Good . But , ese that they become real , not sham converts . If they proposer . to go with you for one jot less than the whole Charter , have nothing to do with them . I they swallow the whole Charter , but make it a secendary object to the Corn Law Repeal , have nothing to do with them . If in joining you for the Charter , they tell you it

    is neoessary " to get rid of your present leaders , " have nothing to do with them . If they are honest they wi 1 join you for the whole Charter—they will consent to make it the one object of agitation , as a means to nn end—and , lastly , they will be content to fight under those who have been elected the leaders of the people . The middle clan are powerless without us . The question then ia , shall we put forth our giant strength merely to serve the interests of a class , or to wrest by one God-like effort the " rights of man , " from those whose empire is built on tho" wrongs of man . " Can you hesitate ? No . :

    Men of the working class , your delivery is in your own hands—the freedoin or slavery of ciilliona yet unborn bangs upon your breath . By every principle of virtue , by all your hatred of elavery , by all your hopes of freedom , by all your love of country and children , I invoke yeu to be firm , unflinching—in short , to do your duty . For myBelf , I nail the flag of "No Surrender" to the mast , and though the good ship Democracy should sink beneath the fire of open enemies and treacherous friends , my last cry , ringing above the waves of popular delusion should still be " Viw , vive la Charte ! " - :

    I am . Brother Democrats , Faithfully , yours , George Julian Harney Sheffield , Feb . 22 nd , 1842 .
