The Paisley instrumeataL band preceded the committee to tie errarchj which was , by the tour of eight , crowded to excess . Mr .

      \ Jfc ^ AbrallamT ) llneaB , m making a few remark * on tSeiiCTtspap ^ jress , in reference tothis affair , be observedfh ^ tb ^ lotsorv of the newspaper press , of this « oantry was curious and ¦ Instructive ^ He would -exempt the Tory press , as it was oppposed to the working classes upon principle . It denies them an equality of rights . It being a professsed enemy he "Would pass on to the liberal portion of " the pres « . ' It iiad for years worn the garb of hypocrisy , but it had now thrown off the disguise . It declares- the " working classes to be fifconly to beslares of their employere . It is well known that the court passed an Sajtiiietian- that no part of the trial shouHrbe published till finished , as incomplete evidence might

      dejadge the case . The rule of the court was so far right . "Wire infringed this rule . The Scottish Reformers ' ( xaseJfc was the first .. It was stated in that paper before any of the evidence appeared , that such a seene of cruelty , oppression , and blood-thirstyness , -as exercised by these unionists , had never been given in- evidence in any court . Ot the personal iistory of ibis Editor be would say nothing , perhaps Jjis own character wonld fill up the-epithets applied to the spinners . Next in -order wasthe Glasgow Jtrguiy it lay afar « ff in dignified- repose , " till the proper time ; its spir it , however , was not the less virulent and -vindictive ; politeness of manner coi--stitntes all the difference between him and his brother

      of the Gazette . Of the Glasgow Chronicle he need say little in this place , as its principles were well known ; its opposition to unions has been " openly and broadly maintained ; that labour ought ; at ali limes to submit to the caprice of capital . As to the Scotsman , the Northern Whig , the Manchester GnardhiTL , the Leeds Times , nod almost all th ? daily papers of London acd Dublin , they all croak ~ the same chant , therefore discrimination 5 s unnecessary , expressing astonishment at the mildness of * he sentence . The Scotsman , fearing that the earth -would dep art from its orbit in astonishment" at" the slightness of the punishment ; " banishing a man for riofing at Oakbank , while he was three honored

      miles distant . —( Cheers ^ The Glasgoir Liberutur , ^ Northern Liberator , Northern Siar , the- London Dispatch , and the True-Siui , are the only papers which possess the confidence of the working c ' . asses j being the only portion of the new . spapers that consistently and impartially advocate the rights of labour . It was stated in the evidence that several hundred pounds had been given , to the Glasgow Idbrralor to advoeate strikes . Now , all- the money given to the support of that paper , was given previous to its becomingthe property of the late John Tait , and that not one farthing has be--n received by Dr . Jclirj Taylor for advocating one cause whatever connected with miy of the trades . John Tait , to maintain this

      paper , bonded a property which he got left to him in the north , to the amount of . £ 700 , " and at his death , left his family in a very destitute condition , so devoted-was be to the causa of the labouring clas-es . ( Loud cheers . ) "With regard to the minuteness of the- evidence , I leave it to others who were present all the time of the trial to detail . ( Great applause . ) And what do we find the Lord Advocate saying and doing ? I have no evidence , says this legal dignitary , x ) f the crimes ' as charged against these men ; -but they are conspirators against their masters . -Thev have conspired to raise their wages— to interrupt the free exercise of capital . It was , however , the fraudulent and avaricious masters who had conspired against the workmen . You must agree to our terms ,

      said they , without eves giving them time to consult on a matter so closely identified with their happiness . Yet the men did , in their unhappy dilemma , agree to yield to the proposition of * the " employers . But do Booaer had they doneso , than the haughty tyrants said to them , " Ah , ye conspirators , we have you now ; hut you must submit to other ten per cent , of a reduction , and if you oppose , we will probably send you over to cool your heels in 2 s eW Holland ' . " ' { 'Cheers . ) These were the feelings and principles of die masters , and into these the Lord Advocate eatered with a congenial spirit . He directed all his influence against the prisoners ; he interfered !^ much in opposing the course of justice as ever . did Archbishop Laud , when he cut the ears -and slit the noses of those who would not conform to his

      dogmas , or regulate their verdiet by his dictation . Did he not- ^ -l will leave" a ^ discriminating public to say ^—did he not endeavour by every movement he aade , by every word he uttered , to constitute the High Court of Justiciary a star chamber , such gs it was when the bigoted lord prostituted ' truth and justice to the venal and tyrannical purposes of the state—Kcheers ) and what was the object which the learned lord contemplated ? It was to criminate tie very men whom he had declared innocent of crime j it was to throw the working men of the realm on the mercy Of the cold-blooded masters ; it was to please the government which be serves , and to earn a smile from a thing , fawning , sycophantic , and . imbecile

      ¦ as himself—litue Lord John Kusseli . : ( Cheers . ) "WeB did be know t !* at the cotton lords ; and the -other lords of our labour , are those on whom government relies for support—well did he know tliat we iiave little influence . Let us retain the favour ; " of the men of wealth , who fatten on the fruits of oppression , is their sentiment . "Workmen may scowl , and mutt-r , and complain . ¥ e have jails for tliem —we hur- gibbets for them—we have a Botany BaV to people—and we have courts 5 tted to e&ecqte oiir wilL ( Cbt-er-. ) But . to show you that government Is-determined to annihilate the unions of the working classes , I need only tell you that when Mr . "~ Waklev presented a petition kst week , in behalf of the five

      unfortunate ineaj Mr . Abercrcmbie , the radulated Speaker of the House , felt his "Whiggish sensibility insukedj because it contained an illusion to a tided -rabble which exists in tee House of Peers , ^ well as an illiteraterabbls which exLtts amongst ihelibourers . The latter he will "at once admit , and no do ubt direct bis visual organs to Botany Bay ; but the former , a rabble in the House of Peers , a rabble amongst "the bell-Ting ing , old-maid disturbing Mar--quisses of Waterford , —horrible profanity ! The fciefeelings of iissoul were shocked , and theiblasphemous petition was rejected . —( Laughter and cheers . ) Th ? . t is little of it , however—Daniel , the King of 3 iunster , is the right hand man b ' the Ministry , and his tail are- at their service . ( Loud laughter . ) Daniel , the mighty , and his knotty t | Sl

      , are the barristers for cheap labour , and the enemies nf union , that is , of labour-protecting unions . ' - Yet be is &e advocate ^ for . Universal SufTrage , thon ^ h be has laboured night and dry in the Corn Exchange in denouncing the suffrage which working men have , and ought to have , in defending the rights of their industry . The Lord Advocate had disc-overed that a murder was committed in Scotland , sud had won laurels ^ -immortal laurels—to himself by shoulderiiig the atrocious crimes j upon the Unionists . Dan , envious of the honour ^ ferreted out a murder in Ireland , which is a rare occurrence there . —( Laughter . ) He was resolved to vie with the Scotchman in glory—so he broadly asserted , that the-Irish Trades' Unionists had committed gie murder- Sixteen United Trades in Dublin rlct

      with aim to usfead thdr character . The brother of " the " murdered msu proved that the deceased was assassinated in a political feud . Bnt the greatDan was" not thus to be shorn of his honours . —( LangEfter . f He ^ said it was the Trades who commited'the deed ; . and when a few honest men had the courage to oppose him , he shook his wig , stretched out his arms , and exclaimed . " Irishmen , will you ; not support me 4 -ah , if you do not , you are enemies to ould Ireland , to the green island of your fathers , -that beantifnj gem of the sea . " ( Laughter . ) But this giant in law says that the unions of working men are illegal—are inimical to the tranquillity of the country- There was a time when he was not a legisla * tor , and when-he exercised his whole ingenuity t 6 -evade the law , and disturb tie ignoble quite of Ireland . ( Cheers . ) Combination—Protean conspiracy was ihen his element—he lived on it—he coufi not

      , hare existed in any other atmosphere . Agitation , - -agitation , agitation was the matte on his escutcheon . ^ Cheers . ) Did any Beresford , with an orange-tail , legislate against his associations , he changed their - name , concealed their design , and stepped forth - . again on the arena , refreshed and invigorated by the - opposatipn . Even wheu the Duke of Wellington passed a bill ibr the specific purpose of crushing him and exterminating his societies , the invincible Daniel —the lion ef the tribe of restless spirits —( laughter —raised his voiee of thunder , and exclaimed that he * 'disregarfed 1 ieir enactments , as the united energies ^ . ofiiB « vn oold Ireland were worth all the bits © f barfauroBS-Wotted parchment in England .

      updii them with scorn . All their , favourite p ^ ew have had their proportion of crime . Shopkeepers , merchants , doctors , lawyers , clergymen , and lords , have been hung for forgery or murder . ( Cheers . What is Lord J . Bussejl doing every day , but plotting murder—what is the government doing , but sending out their mercenaries-to maim , kilt , and barn . They bid us study the history of our country and learn wisdom from it—a fine description of wisdom indeed . For many hundreds ofyearsiitspages are filled with little but feudal murder and outrage , ( cheers ) and yet these same titled assassins decry the hard working millions , whom they oppress , and point them out to the world as combined murderers , because they wish to support their wages . ( Cheers . ) nridri them with nmni . ' All " tVri /^ fni mifT'i n ''" iiV S ' M : i

      To say that there is no immorality , no crime , among the working classes , would show superlative ignorance and dishonesty . I deeply lament their vices and follies , and would rejoice to see a great moral regeneration effected—would rejoice to see them become high-minded , inteffigerit , and temperate . But while I deplore the existence of rice of any kind , or amongst any class of society , I as heartily despise those canting lordly tyrants who tell us to be religious , but whose own conduct is opposed , in every point of view , to the golden maxim of Christianity ( Cheers . ) I despise those titled Scribes and

      Pharisees who shed crocodile tears over the crimes , of working men , hot smile at , or assist in , the commission of the hideous crimes of the great . ( Cheers . ) If they are sincere , let them annihilate oppression , " administer justice with impartiality , institute schools for the education of the people , disseminate works of sound information , encourage the acquisition of knowledge , patronise virtue in every line of action and in every rank , and be themselves virtuous . Let them do these things ; then their sincerity will be unquestioned , and crime will hide its guilty head . —( Cheers . ) But , instead of that , the Government rather debases

      society , projects and props up monstrous " systems of oppression , enriches the rich , impoverishes the poor , pensions old superannuated dukes and duchesses : gives a debasing work-house to the virtuous poor , separates the man and wife , and treats poverty and misfortunt as the worst of crimes —( cheers ) —and seems as much afraid of a strong principle of virtuous action and determination growing amongst the working classes as the thief is of the gallows . ( Loud laughter and cheers . j Indeed ,

      they seem to think that virtue and intelligence are too far advanced to admit of any ; farther progress in rheir wicked domination and cercive deeds , and for that reason they endeavoured , at the trial of the spinners , to throw a foul stigma on the character of tW whole labouring community of Scotland , and to aid them in their noble pursuit the chief of the Shamrock Isle laboured to prove that Irishmen were not c whit better . ( Laughter . ) Witnesses were carefully selected not to convict the five men of murder

      or _ incendiarism—that they could not—but to criminate the whole body of united spinners , so that the public might dra \ 7 an inference that all the onions of the trades were equally depraved . ( Cheers . ) There is uo charge against the men , said the Lord Adroeate , but they axe dangerously intelligent , and we ujust get rid of them ; they have not outraged the laws of society , but they are opposed to the millowners , and the mill-owners are good men because they are rich mea and influential electors , there-fore we must ship these fellow * ofl' to Botany Bay . They bear a good character ; some of them are " devoted much to religious feeling , bnt their , 2-ood character

      and Teligious principles will do them no harm in Botany . Bay ; their punishment will deter other men of extensive knowledge , and high " spirit , from involving themselves cs the leaders of these unions , and deprived of their aid , the onions will soon effect their own dissolution . Such , indeed , are the true grounds of the prosecution . —( Loud cheers . ) The arguments , however , of the Lord Advocate did not produce in the minds cf th-2 jury the impression either expected or contemplated . There were seven in that jury who understood the full nature of their solemn duty . They were all sworn , as jurors are , to do justice , as they have to answer at the judgment bar of the Eternal . Seven swofe . thht the men

      wer ? innocent , eight swore that they were guilty , of endeavouring to keep up their wages , and freed them from the charge of murder and fire-Taising . ] S « ow , had it beea the destiny of the unfortunate men to be tried on the other side of the Tweed , they ^ would have been unhesitatingly acquitted , but it was their mishap to be tried ou * this side—a side famed for probity and religiou , and they were banished to Botany ' Bay . There is surely some mysterious quality in the waters of the Tweed , wheu the same action , leeliug , or pursuit Ls branded with guilt on the one side , and clothed with innocence on the other . It is like some of the mysterious rivers which flow in the regions of heathen mythology

      ( Cheers . ) If we heard of a nation of savages living under one chief , who would hang , burn , or banish any of their tribe , on certain charges , if found on one side of a particular stream , bnt if found on the other , would receive them back into the bosom of their society , wonld we not pity them , and shudder at tbeir ideas of justice ; aiid , like good Christians , we would say , let us send Bibles and missionaries to them . [ Cheers and laughter . ] But I ha \ e heard of no savages so wickedly absurd . Tate has reserved for our own enlightened land thatbad pre-eminence , and if the savages knew of it , probably from their superior notions of righteousuess , they would send missionaries to us—[ cheers]—to teach us that the

      waters of the 1 weed have not , by the infallible laws of natnre , one side for innocence and justice , and another for guilt , banishment , or hanging . — [ Reiterated cheering . ] But , alas ! it was theV . -il fortune of the five men to be arraigned ou the the victims of its influence . But I exult in the fact that tbere were seven men in the fifteen who had felt no other influence than the sacred dictates of jestice . They will be regarded with love while they live , for their well-tried and unshaken integr ity , and be looted back upon as patriots by posterity . —( Cheers . ) The newspaper press , however , would fondly rob them of the high reputation , and their exalted honoursby artfully concealing

      , from the world that there were seven * in the jury who declared the men innocent Had a Tory Bill in the Ho' ^ e of Commons been carried only by one of a majority , the Whig press would have been uproarious , and would have dared the Tories to carry it into law ; one of a majority—only one of a major ity , would have rang through * ten thousand paragraphs , ^ - ( Hear , bear , and loud cheers . ) But the five ill-fated men who were convicted , by one of a majority , as being iefluential men in the trade , . ' fiad not one sympathetic feeling in its calamities . They musthe transported for seven years from their

      native land , to toil , to languish , or to die , with broken hearts , in a far distant clime , and all this they are doomed to suffer by one of a majority . The happiness oftheirdomestiecirelemustbedestroyed jtheir families broken up—their wives , their tender affectionate wives , he comfortless , unprotected—left to sigh and grieve , and shed , when none but heaven sees them , the burning tears of unavailing sorrow ; and their children must be bereft of their guardians—be rendered destitute , and probably dependent on a cold world , and all because one of a majority found these men guilty of ha-ring associated for the protection of their wages . ( Cheers . ) That is the crime of the

      cottonspinn ers , for that and that alon e are they convicted ; and Lord John Russell , because they are guilty of that ¦ awful misdemeanour has refused te presenta petition to the Queenforthe mitigation of their punishment . Had prisoners been guilty even of rioting , he might have had some pretext for the high moral feeling which he assumes ; but they were not . Hacket was even 300 miles distant—be was in Manchesteriwhen the dirturbanee at Mile-end- and Oakbank occurred —( cheers )—yet there is no mercy for him . The man who murders the wife of his bosomthe mother who murders the little innocent who

      presses its hand upon her breast , may find mercy ; bat Lord John—cruel as the Dey of Algiers—stands Ji » e a frozen iceicle between pjor Hacket and the clemency of the Queen . But let him be assailed with a voice of thunder—it is a war bstween oppression and jusbee . IWytben , ye working men of Britain ! petition while you can get paper to sign , for their recall . They are husbands—they ar « fathers—they are sons . They are torn from all that they bold dear on earth—from distracted wives from weeping children , from heart-broken parents . They are all virtuous , affectionate men—devotedly attached to their families . Beeall them then-i recall them by your united power . Humanity heaven / bids you do so—their loring wives , and children , and parents , implore your aid . Mr . Dun" can sat down amid loud and continued cheering .

      . Mr . Howle seconded the resolutfons proposed h y . Mr . Duncan . After excellent speeches from Mr . Htjgh Alexandeb " , who read a letter from Lord John Russell insngwertotheir petition , refusing to recommend any mitigation of the sentence , and from Mr . H ejjby Dunk , the meeting separated .
