      On ray nturn from London , Joly 8 th , 1 8 S 8 , the good people , of Hnddersfield met me by thousands . They heasd me teU what had passed between the great Duke and their King .

      . " I have received a letter from Sir John Ramsden complaining Uttt *« t had produced great excitemjsnt in our part of the county of York ; and that you wexe-interesting yourself in Huddersfield to oppose him , Sir John Ramsdea , « nd % o support a Radical candidate Captain Wood .

      .

      and miscbiff of the Reform BUU-a 'political economist , ' a free tradsr , and , an out-and-oui snpporter of that miuiBtry , which is fast bringing ruin on this country . "Sir John is quite correct in sayhig , 'tbat I snppor t Captain Wood , and I . da it btffanse be is a warm frianft of the Factory BUI , ' a friend to a tar on machinery and the funde , a hater of political eoonomy' and ^ rf the prtseni systetn . of free trade . Xaey call him a ' Radical , ' and very soon they will call every Tory a Radical ; he , himself , into address says , 'heis of no party . '"

      "Sir John ' s letter to you , pteves that he wocU crush me if he . could . These are times to try men ' s «> e 1 s . Surely he has room enough oa < his own estate to crush and tyranif . se , without extending over the domains of his Tory neighbour . I wish to be very candid , that you may perfectly uaderstaad- jne . I have no secnets . I will hove none . I have s ^ rolarly sent you newspapers , with accounts of everything I have dona I know not that I have kept anything . back . I hate Whig politics with a most " perfect hatred , because I beliere the Whigs to be the enemies of my country , and that they have beealhe cause of all the distress we are enduiiBg , and , if neefc stopped , I believe that they will be the ruin of the nation . All this I believe I have before fully explained to you . I am aorry if I have not been sufficiently exylkit "

      "If * nch men as Ramsden are to be retmsed to Parliament , there is an ea 4 of all my hopes for the benefit of my country ; the "working elasses must fiink the landed fcttere 3 t must fellow—the fuadholder and the owner of machinery witt riae , and , afterwards , confusion and anarcby wiH * ssne . ~ Really , my friends , when I consider that tirfa and such" like letters , were written by me so long ago , and now know what &w happened by following <« £ the principles of the " economists , " I-sronder that the aristocrats have not been convinced of their error , in

' Yob now feel their insecurity , and you are forced to * pend more than you hare saved in police and other ' preventive' expenses ! Poor deluded nobles I Yoq have stripped yourselves of your natural bulwark a bold , brave , happy , aad devoted peasantry ! you leagued against them , with your and their natural enemies , and now the power of both is turned against yon , and in the unequal contest , if you will not give the labourers their rights , down—down , down will

      your " order" fall I Ah , my friends , this will aU prove true l Bnt , I forget myself , I will return to my letter to Mr . ThornhilL "You will have observed , by the papers which I have from time to time sent to yon , that I have long Binee declared , " -&e Factory Bill shall bdjay politics . " " Every feedf knows that I eupport cSwn , Wood , because he supports the Ten Hours ' ' ESL . and not because they call him a Radical . There ia ^ nttfhan better known as aTory than I am .

A great-measure is to be gained , and many others also , * to save the country , ( all of which the Whigs will oppose , ) but if I am not to oppose Bneh a man as Mr .

      ag » tastthe ftew Poor Law monster . It was needful , too . ihaube service of tbe . Squire should be embittered to jne , and that I should thus be prepared without a pang . to make the required sacrifice . Had I then fallen , I should have been only the victim of a sordid Whig . A higher and nobler state was reserved for me ! A Torj clergyman and a Tory Poor Law Comiuissiuaer were appointed to deprive the Wbiga of thoir triumph over me ! Besides all this , kad I then fallen , Sadler was atoe , and John Wood was my friend ! Under thpir

      patronage I could haye beea upheld , against every temporal evil , and my confidence in God would not have been tried . Thus , then , was the wisdom and the goodaess of God manifest before the trial came . The one a * ras taken away , the oiker was estranged ; aad whea the blow was struck , I had no arm to lean on but the arm of God . Every -earthly prop was removed , and J was called to exerciae and to prove the quality of that faith of which I had so often spoken to you , and which I had so . strongly recommended . My friends , it has been "proof" in the day of trial . True , there was sn effort made by the people to help me- ^ jsufc that was blasted -by t&e malicious elan . d « r-t ) f Mr . Themhill , wjiose vUe-charge against im fempeifhe ardour of my friends . S 5 that , in thehou * of need , ! was left all alone- —no , not alone—my God

      WA 8 WITH ME . When I look back on aU these circumstances , my heart ia filled with gratitude and confidence ; I am sure of victory , becansa I am persuaded that I am a child in the hand of Providence , moved , and guided , and sustained by tbe Eternal Spirit of Jehovah . Hence , I cannot fear . ' The poor , silly , degraded Whigs of Huddersfield waited f » r the fiat from the Squire , which they hoped was for ever " to silence Oartler , " or " to securt . his discharge . " The Squire was not permitted to gratify them—his hand was then holden , and , in reply to my letter , he said : — " ; " .

      "I have no time to write a Jong letter , but I have no idea of our . separating as things are at present . I spoke the truth when I told Sir John Ramsden I would not have anything to do with a person who supported the , Badicals ; ' and , as a system , I Bay so now but , in this instance , of fcwe evils , you may Darhftos ' taketheleast ' fwwaps - "'' . -.

PoorSadfcsr ! when Be heard of this , in thefoiness or his heart , exclaimed , "Oh ! how I rejoice at the baffling of the Ramsdens ; if anything , could have more exalted you , it was that ; be humble , and give God the praise . "

      My friends , I may be tedious—I tnmt be explicit I aa performing a necessary—but a very pairtfuL dpty . If myself were only interested , I would be content , tost Mr . Thornhill should trample , even open my ehatmeter But my principles are involved—my clients , the poor factory children , and the labourers of England gene-Tally , a * e , in some measure , interested I I must , howereir painful , I wiU prove , that , their •« Ktag" is » ot altogether unworthy of their ' " allegiance .

Several letters were read from persons wishing additional salaries . Mr . tttkethly said that one person had that Say offered to collect the rates of a township for one-third of what was now paid , and that several Guardians had complained , in the course of the day , of the excess of salaries paid to collectors in the tovrnships , and of having personBpuBhed upon them residing out of the towns , while they bad rate-Divers living in t > i «
