      MANCHESTER . PUBLIC LECTURE BY MR . TILLMAN . ( From our own Correspondent . ) Although the announcement of this lector * mi only E 3 ie *• n ^ t be fore by placard , the large room , by fcven o ' clock , was nearly filled . The room was briltsfitiy Hgbted up . and in variou * parts of the place Vere portrait * of M'Docall , Hunt , and otters . Metto en or * was— » For a nation to be free , it is sufficient th * t she wilto It ; " another— "Tremble , tyrants , tremble , " fcfl . 1 ^ ¦!¦¦¦¦ . ptth ™ T ^^ fvff ™" . „

      Mr . Wheeler opened the meeting by saying that , Uvtwitiutanding the trials , persecutions , and difficulties with which he had to contend , it gave him givat pleasure -when he reflected upon what had been done that < br , to see the working classes once more arising from their slumbers , and were out-stepping the routine of thtiir former energies , and were determined to hare fctir rights . He could assure them that they now were the only organised body of politicians who were in a j , -sitKm to challenge free discussion . The Whigs dare set hate a Corn Law meeting , unless they admitted by cr . rd , fc * fear of being beat Then there was the foreign F -iicy crotchet ; a number of men who were engaged in it \ Trre such as would not give the working classes the p -fl- erto remoTe those evils of which they complain .

      A 'though one great agitator among them had presumed t ¦ call the Chartists a faction , he , the said gentleman , dira not meet to discuss the question . He carcl b . ' . hing about what they might say about the conduct o : " die Foreign Secretary ; it wag only one of the evils , * 2 '! he was quite astonished that men who k ^ ew these things before should now rise so spontaneously to solicit the assistance ef the Chartiststhey must hare been either blind or dishonest ti-rnow . He knew that no htuubug would be able to draw their attention to any thing but the Charter . He lu-J the honour to introduce Mr . Tillman to them , h- ^ - ing they would give him a patient hearing . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Tillmah then rose and said , Ladies and Gentleman , and Radicals of Manchester , he took great

      pleafci- - v in doing anything he could to forward the cause of tfc ¦ ¦ people . Be took great pkasare , ] ilHswise . in having tt- opportunity of addressing a aumbe ? of working m-: n lite himself , and he knew that working men were always giad to hear one of their own ranks address fcLcui , because they were more likely to hear the truth « T -ken , and would know the limited opportunities ¦» bich the working classes had of improving themselves , ai i excuse any fault which he might niake . He could * - ? uember the agitation of the middle classes , but it had ended ia & shadow ; there was nothing of patriotism * b nt , or otherwise they would not hire caaaed until

      tt ' jse who had procured them their rights had aiao the stra . He then commented in very appropriate terms a ~ a the following letter wnich he had received from sc .: ? cowardly villiin who dare not give his name . If ttv . oward thonght that it would take the least effect ¦ pr . a him he was very much mistaken ; all he was »• - > y for was , that it had cust him twopence ; for the a . - - by rascal had not tko honesty to pay the post . He rtv . -. ^ stedaa answer through the Star . Wi > y , in the bj ... if of God , did he notaeuO . it through the Star , and sL n his name : —

Betienmade some remarks respecting the conduct of the proprietors of the Star , and was very glad tha : f .. t the future the meetings ^) f the intelligent men -. f Manchester would be reported . He was

      very hapi y to mioKn them that they had now at their commaji . ; a reporuj , whe was a gentleman whose heart Waa in -: e cause which would bring universal happiness to the people . He ( the reporter ) had been very much pcr-pcuted for his principles . The speaker passed other remarks , which , in the person who writes this , would be presumption to mention . He , however , believed thai lie would do all in Ms power ,, ^ connected -wit h thi pros , to raiBe the standard of liberty . He then ma ic 3 few very striking remarks upon Hunt , and the b ! --.. i that was spilt at Peterloo . and sa . id thai th * spin : whujh excit *? d the people of tUt day was yet war : a in tfie breast of many before him ; and the blood of t ^ e martyrs had been the means of fortifying the priiiapie , and , if possible , bad made them more ardent

      id t . ~ cause of liberty . He saw , by the Star , that Lord , Mor- ^ Ji acd Charles Howard had been to visit the ' . izc - ~ nxi 3 , and it would redound to their * honour if they eou :-. i sympathise with th-js& poor littie . creatures , wh-j ' are very frequently dashed to pieces .

He knew there was no law to prevent it ; i but it was a most unjust tiling , a ^ d dti-trvfai th- j execmtion of tte community at large . ( Hear , hear ., ' He vras very Borry for the many pri-ontrs when he rea-1 of their Eufferiagg , and txhorted them to do what

He then i exh » ttrd them not to take a man as a guide , nor pin i thei ! i » -lves to any man ' s sleeve . We find that ! the working classes are on their way to the j bea ^ n of happiness . The speaker then quoted a i passage from the gentleman JU 3 * mentioned : — •¦ Heaven i

      waa like a large » quire whigti hid nimy sttstts into it" ' So A waa with Radicals . Thtre were many ways of ; arriving at the rst'ie-i : square , which was equal rrpre : aenu-uan . Tiier # oai s forward and assist in the grt-it i moveiaeat . The truvernmt ; nt had ba = n more like a I stupid pig : when the people have wanted thtm to i movr one way , they have gone the reverse . The iaw- j yen ? , ht said , had declared that the mnvenient in which i they ^ -ere engaged was r . legai Oh , yes ! he hz <\ nA I the least doubt of tb-it ; anything would be wruog tha . t was likely to protect the rights of the poor , while th-. rich cuuld combine , have a society whos * object was to briTju down the wages of th- poor , and all is consider ,:, legal , and constitutional . Bu ; ho wuuid tell the GoverumeEt , that the principles he ar . d the Chartists a < i >\>

      eatt-d were such as had been estaWishe < l by long stuay and reflection ; and tlity were such as neither perseeutioa , prosecution , nor iiuprisonineiit coald destroy . What fefffCt had it had upon tiiose men -who had stood forward in defence of tho ^ e principiea ? Ha < l th-y ftinched ? ~ So ; M'Douall , Lovttc , and Collins , were the same as they w * -re .

And as for , the foreign policy geDtleiaen , he could not give them erwdit for their pontaneous burst of sympathy , for the country by one

      Beans or other had been sinking since the dsj-B of Buonaparte . He could not leave the agiution of the Cbarb-r to join men who wished only to make a tool of him for their own purpose , ana . who would not , after they had got their turns served , give liberty to the people . . The Chartists has been designated by some a blind faction : to sueh he would say , they were blind fools , and had not studied political science , or they would know that the men who wua'd give to every Be the same rights and privilege as another could cot ia the proper acceptation of' the term be considered a fikrtion . We ask for nothing ; we are willing to giTe to all : that is , equality . We ask to have the poweS of electing those who have tho power over us .

      They , indeed , may call us what they like ; but the polar star of liberty had shone upon tha dark minds # the people , and had shed its lustre all ever the kingdom , bearing down all mist , till the tide of ignotairrn . prejudice , and superstition had hanisbed before Ik .

      COUBT . HOU 8 E , MOKDAT , BBPT . 7 IH . ( Be / ore Mr . J . C . S . Walker ami Mr . Potter . ) Richard Parsons was brought up on a charge of stealing a quantity of lead from a boiMing in Downingstreet , weighing SSlbs ., now in the occupation of Mr . John Sanderson . John Burgess , policeman , sworn—He had apprehended tho prisoner on the above charge . John Masaey Baid that he bought the lead from Parsons , asking him at the same time whether he had come honestly by it ; ho first asked me the price I was , ^^ ?™^^^~

      giving per hundred ; he told him fifteen shillinga . He , the prisoner , asked if he could not give sixteen shillinga and sixpence , to which he aaid he oonld not . Samuel Healey said that the lead found upon the prisoner was that which had been taken £ rom a house ia Downing-street Magistrate—How can yon tell that is the same ? Healey—Because he had measured it first , and then took it and placed it upon the rigging pole , whence it had been taken , and it corresponded exactly with the place .

      Maasey was tlien asked whether he had bought lead of the prisoner . Massey—Yea . Magistrate—Do you know anything of this kind before ? Masaey—No ; he had always taken him to be an honest man , and had dealt with him frequently . The prisoner was fully committed to take his trial . E 4 ward Jackson was then called up on a charge of pig-stealing . Policeman Beamish said he apprehended the prisoner

      about half-past four o ' clock on Sunday morning , with the pig in his possession , driving him from Red Bank towards Cheetham HilL He asked his name , and where he lived , but he refused to tell him . A short time afttr he said that he had no home . Mr . burrows , the owner of the pig , said he had had several pigs stolen before , but could not swear that the prisoner was about to steal that one . He knew the prisoner very well , but he did not know anything about his character , no more than that ha worked very little .

      Magistrate—What have you to say to thU serious charge ? Pr isomer—I had a friend came over from Bury , and consequently we had stayed out all night , and were taking a walk up Chee : ham Hill . The pig was by the way-side , and wLen he saw it ho r ± n before him , and -while doing so up came the policeman , and said that he was about to sttal it , and took him to the lock-up . Magistrate ( to Mr . Burrows )—How did the pig get out ? Mr . Burrows—There is abont six feet of the wall of t"e y&M in which the pigs had been kept that was down . Magistrate ito Beswick)—Has the prisoner been here before ? Beswick—Yes , on a charge of felony , but he was acquitted .

      The Magistrate told the prisoner that there was a suspicion of his having tried to steal the pig ; but as it couid not be cleariy proved , he should give him the benefit of the doubt , hoping it would be a caution to him for the future . Two men were brought up on a charge of assault , one rather tall and the other short . Thomas Flt-tcner , poiitwman , said he was on duty on Saturday evening , when he heard a cry of murder . He ran to the place and saw two mm running off He watched th-in turn round a corner of the street , and pursued them to a cellar . He wtnt to the cellar and demande *! admittance . The talltr of the two ba < l a tnife in his Land , and declared he would run it through

      the first who came there . Prosecutor stated that he was going home on Saturday evening , when the tall man knocked him down , the others picked up his hat , and was in the act of running away with it Magistrate—What have you to say to this charge ? The tall msn said that the person who was vritn him in CUSLody was a friend who haU come from Ireland ; he had brought some news from his mother , and was going a-ain n « xt uiojiiing . They had had a little drink together , and waa Teturuing home , when the prosecutor ran against them , and he iiiocked him du % vn in selfdtfeuce , Tht othrr prisoner said that he nevrr struck any one , nor had liny hat ; ri Uis h : \ nd excepting his own .

      Mr . Murray ih ; n was Ciii . td upon to givn the tall pri- jner a character . lie had bi-en in tceir employ for five year ? , anfl he was quite r . stGEish'jd to fiud lam there ; Lu was a very steii . y man ; never L )* t even an hour in drinViug ; inde « d he w-j * as cear teetotal as possible . He iad condi-cted himself very wtll indeed , and was , he thought , thv bwt man thc-y h : id aWit the premises , at kast he hal always ! o -tea upon him 03 such . Mr . p ..: ur sa-. d ttiat , owing to his good character , ha should let them off with paj ing one pound and costs . ; The policeman had taken £ ll in ? .

However , there is one ihii : g which we have demonstrable proof of —they can dip the people in the river at four o ' clock in the mornmg .

      — j . CHABTI 0 T nrTELUaENCE . NORWICH . —ThtaproTerMally corrupt city seems to be at length awakening to the importance of political regeneration . Long have the men of this place Blnmbered in guilty apathy . The matchless eloquence of Stephens roused them for a moment bat again u tho dog returned to his vomit , and the sow to-her wallowing in the mire . " iThe principles of heaveH < aprung liberty were drowned in the ravings of fanaticism , or sullied by the ** gulpings" of pothouse politicians . The surrounding districts , which it was thetf duty to enlighten , are either shrouded in the baneful mists of ignorance , or have been left to enlighten themselves . Will it be believed that in a city containing 60 , 000 souls , there have been only about 100 who really deserve the name of Char-_ . — ' ^ , ^ - | | OKAETMTT OTBWGIKOE .

      tists f Yet suoh is the fact . There are thousands who know the principle to be holy , just , and goodwho will halloo most lustily at public meetings , &c . j but , who , as far as any real benefit to the cause ia concerned , would bo equally , useful in America as here . But even in this moral , and political wild , there are few who have hoisted the Charter , and called on their fellow-townsmen to rally under its banner they have nailed their colours to the mast , and in spite of every obstacle , are determined to have the Charter , cost what it may . Amongst those who have , through evil and good report , held fast by the cause of Chartism , none have been more zealous than Mr . S . Love , a hand-loom weaver . Ever ready to

      advance our righteous principles by every means in his power , he established a Primitive Christian ' s Society , where those who really " feared God and eschewed evil , ' might hear the gospel of gladtidings brought to the world by the meek and lowly Jesus , declared in its simplicity , instead of being " dosed" by a time-serving , lucre-loving priesthood , with " contentment" in starvation by robbery , and with " right divine" for the servants of the devil . In this place of worship Mr . L . has chiefly spent his labours , where he has been making slow , though , we trust , 8 VUP 6 progress . During the last autumn Mr . L . was arrested , and admitted to bail to take his trial at the Spring AsBises on a trumpery charge ; but from some unknown cause ' the prosecution wa 9

      dropped . When Mr . L . found himself unshackled he determined to go out to those who would not come to him ; andsome months ago , he took his station in our Market Place , and addressed a large congregation on the connection between Christianity and Chart . sm . Since then he has regularly addressed large bodies of people , ? n the same plaoe once , and sometimes twice ,. a week . . Several of the Norwich " sainta" were terribly chsigriuftd at , seeinj ? the people " taking thought for the future ; " and a few weeks ago a city missionary offered to meet Mr . L . in discussion . Vast numberd of people assembled to hear it , when , to the astonishment of all , the "saint" declined , amidst the deserved disapprobation of the people . Truly did Milton say that ' Truth

      was strong , next to the Almighty ; " tor we find men abusing our principles and its advocates . They tell ub we err : we ask them to meet us in discussion , to shew unto us our errors . They refuse ; ? ' they will not come to the light , lest their deeds should be reproved . " Yea ! even here , in Norfolk , with a self-educated weaver for our chief advocate , we are triumphant ; not one of the vile slanderers of oar principles have yet had the moral courage to face us in public discussion . In one of Mr . L . ' s country excursions , being opposed by a Dissenting Preacher , he invited him to come boldly forth , and publicly show an honest man his unintentional errors , instead of creeping into houses and earwigging the people , when he well knew there were none to

      oppose his vile and unfounded insinuations . He also refused ; one of his principal gupporters assigning as a reason that it would make Mr . Love " toy notorious . " Aye , listen , working men , ono of our modern evangelical (?) expounders refuse to show an immortal creature his ( pretended ) errors , for fear in should make him " too notorious !! " On Sunday evening last , Mr . Love addressed , in the Maiket-place of this city , one of the largest congregations which have assembled here since the thrilling eloquence of Stephens was listened to . After he had addressed them * ome time , he was interrupted by a preacher of the sect of believers in Turkish predestination , commoniy known as Calvinists , who attempted to gull the peoplo wuh the blasphemous aud

      docmne , that ^ ood evil equally sprung from omcommon Father , the beneficent Creator of all things ; and , moreover , that His creatures had no power to resist either evil or good . Such , however , was the impression Mr . L . had made on the people , that they were not to be deluded by this " sanctified" blasphemer ; they knew that" the Lord abhorreth evil ;" that he Had commanded His creatures , under pain of his direst vengeance , * to depart from evil , and do good ; " they knew that the fanatic eat his own wortis in his private conduct ; that if his house was on tire he wouid bawl lustily for help to extinguish this" divine decree ; " they knew , in short , that if his ravings were true , it was God ' s decree ihat Mr . L . should , come out -and —delude

      the people , and , consequently , that he was resisting the divine purpose in opposing him . To the honour of the men of Norwich be it spoken , they were disgusted with his senseless rhapsodies , ana , on his attempting to address them further , the confusion was so great that he could not be heard , and , at length , it was put to a show of hands whether Mr . L . or he should further address them , when it was decided in favour of Mr . Love , by a majority of two hundred to one , amongst which , we axe glad to say , there was a vast number of the . middle clas * . Bravo I men of Norwich ; we trust your praiseworthy example will be generally followed , and jdoomy fanaticism be speedily made to bow to common i-eiise . But rememoer you have declared

      Chartitsm to be jubt and good , and thus morally bound yourselves to support it . Recollect every Radical Association in the city is now merged into the *• National Charter Association ; " let then every real Chartint procure his ticket , and join his olasa ; tae time is past for talking ; " he that is not with us is against us ; " your countrymen in the North are once more rising in their might ; be ye not idle spectators of tha glunous struggle for a nation ' s freedom ; look at the machinery which is fast rising round you , and which , unless it be controlled for the nation ' s benefit by Universal Suffrage , will assuredly sink you and your countrymen into certain ruin and

      misery ; be up then , and doing ; let the ginshops , &c . be deeened , and let the fuel , which has been feeding tht-ir noxious flames , bo devoted to the noble and holy purpose of kindling , by every moral means , the undying flame of patriotism on the altar of every heart ; cast fanaticism to its father , the devil , and party spirit to Peel , Russell , and Co ., and be determined that , as Norwich has hitherto been preeminently known lor its " rottenness , " so shall it henceforth be proudly known as the place in which thous 4 ii'is oi honest hearts and horny hands , enthu .-iasuoaiiy united , and bravely determined to conquer or die , in

      Lying Kbwspapbk Press , —The Manchester papers hava afforded room for the moat base and onfounded liar respecting the Radicals of this town that evw were pabllrtied to the world ; and these have been written by two of the greatest drunken blackguards that Middleton ever bad within lu boundaries . These two reporters nave fabricated' lies , no doubt , to get the ftathorikfea to imprison some of the Chartists , and to get themselves a little promoted . These remtrk » have been penned , because the Chartists' employers take a little notice of the lies that are to be found in the Manchester papers , and threatened several Chartists with exclusive dealing . Have the Manchester papers no more respect for theif press / their party , their principles , and the truth , than to publish to the world lies that have no foundation , but hi the drunkard ' s imagination ? _ iw ** &An * ^ 8 . ^^ VMancherter

      LONDON—At a meeting of the West London Democratic Association , on Wednesday last , at the Mechanics" Institute , Circus-street , Mr . Hunt in the chair , it was unanimously agreed that we adopt the plan of organisation as recommended by the delegates assembled at Manchester , feeling coufldent that union is strength ; and the stronger the union , the greater the strength . It was also unanimously agreed that the name of this division of a great union be called "The Borough of Marylebone National Charter Association . " Several new members have already enrolled their names , and on Sunday night there was several applicacations for class books , and we are likely to be what we once were , alive to our rights .

      BROMSOROVS . —On Wednesday , the 2 nd of Sept a very interesting lecture was delivered in the Political Union Room , in this town , by Matthew Hayle , a working man ; in the course of which he entered at large into the subject of the existing evils of the times arising from exclusive legislation . After which , with much tact and ability , entered into a long exposure of the church cormorants , pension list , army , and navy j and concluded with a heart-stirring appeal to all present on the necessity of union . The lecture , we are happy to say , was well received , and gave the utmost satisfaction . At the close of the meeting ; , a sentiment was proposed which was well received and responded to , namely , the Bpeedy return of Frost , Williams , and Jones , and the liberation of our incarcerated friends , which was received with three times three , amidst the most deafening cheers . At our last meeting it was resolved unanimously to merge our Union into the Grand National Charter Association .

      SUNDEBtAND . —A meeting of delegates , from various districts of the county of Durham , was held at Durham , on Tuesday , September 8 th , to consider the best means of creating an efficient organisation throughout the entire county . Seven delegatea were present . viz : —Mr . Eeinsley and Mr . John Binns , from Sunderlund ; Mr . Davison , from Bishop Auckland ; Mr . Mycroft , from West Auckland ; Mr . Garry , from South Helton ; Mr . Maw , from Middlosbro' ; and Mr . Marlborough , from Stockton . The business occupied the greater part of the day , the results of which were the following : —Mr . Hemsley was appointed to fill the chair . It was resolved , as a first step , that the Durham Charter Association be merged into the National Charter Association . Reports were glvon by the

      different delegates of the amounts which could be raised hi their separate districts in the support of a missionary . It appeared , by the reports , that from the places represented by the delegates alone , £ 1 7 s . ( id . weekly could be guaranteed . A missionary was then resolved to be obtained for the county , at a salary of £ 2 per week : all travelling expenses to be paid by him out of this sum . Communications were determined to be sent to all the collieries , urging them to the . necessity of bearing a share in this expense . The missionary to be engaged for three months ; and also that he be requested to take the total abstinence pledge previous to his appointment . Mr . Hemsley was appointed Provisional County Treasurer ; and Mr . John Binns , Provisional County Secratary . Mr . John Binns and Mr . Hemsley

      were also appointed a committee to draw up an address to the Chartists of the county : the game to bo publtshetl in tho Northern Star and Liberator . Another delegate meeting was proposed to be held at Bradford Hotel , Durham , on Monday , October 5 th . It was also propoaeil that co-operative societies and total abstinence bo recommended in the address . At the close of the meeting , the tollowini ; rt solution or pledge was taken and signed by all the delegates present , ixcept the delegate from Stockton , who left just previous to the Close of the mi-etinn : — "Chat wo , the ileU-gatea- for the county of Dtirimm , hereby certify our determination to refrain from all intoxicating liquors , and to recommend every member of tho National Charter Association to do the same . "

      Durham Gaol , September 8 th . We , the undemened , have heard with the greatest pleasure the decision of the delegate mooting in favour of the principle of total abstinence - < and , believing that it ia an example worthy of all encouragement and support , we hereby pledge ourselves to act on the said principle until the Charter becomes the law of the land . J . Williams , George Binns . Durham Chartist Prisoners . —We have the greatest pleasure in recording , that though Messrs . Williams , Binns , Byrne , and Owen iiave been consigned to temporary exile from their friends , aad that cause in which they so zealously and ably laboured , yet they are not forgotten by those to whose welfare their energies were devoted . On the contrary , the men of the county of Durham have nobly done their duty , and the eloquent appeal of Mr . Lawson . which we published ,

      has met with a warm and ruady response . Since their imprisonment , they have been visited by numerous friends from all parts of the country , and the remembrances which thty have received from the patriotic fair ones of the county , are such as to prove they also are determined thut the imprisoned patriots do nut lack their sympathy and friendly aid . It would be long to enumerate all the tokens of friendship which have been sent to the prisoners ; they include tea and dinner ware , cooking utenaila , tea , coft ' , sugar , several joints of Uitat . onfc goose , several iAea , amongst which is an extraordinary one from Thornley Colliery , weighing three slonc , one pound . This huge pie was . report says , excellent , and did equal credit to the liberality that dictated the present , and the skill displayed in the execution of it . Besides these , several presents of fruit have been sent , and funds liberally subscribed in all parts of the county . We are requested to state that a report of the funds collected will be published in next week ' s Star .

      NEWCASTLE-OTON-TTNE .-NATIONAL CHARTER Association . —The Provisional Couucil met as usual on Tuesday evening last , September 8 th , Mr , Blakey in the chair , when there was a good attendance of councilinen and class-leaders . Mr . Cockburn reported that he had visited Biyth and Bedlingten , and that there was a glorious spirit among the men of that district , and that , with a little agitation , he thought the men would become members of the National Charter Association , it was then moved and carried— " Tuao the Council meet on Saturday evening , September 12 . h , to

      divide the town into four districts . " The Treasurer was then empowered to aend 10 s . more to Manchester for the Provisional Executive Couucil . A discussion then took place on the nomination of a new council , the time having expired for the present one , when it was moved , and carried unanimously" That there be a meeting of members on Tuesday evening , September 15 'Ji , at half-past seven o ' clock , in the < iroat-markta School Room , to nominate a Council for this town . " It is particularly requested that the class-leaders meet on Tueeday evening , at seven o ' clock , at the above room , to pay' in the subscription .

      HAWXCR . —At an adjourned meeting of the Hawick Cnartist Association , on Tuesday , the 8 th inbtant , the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to : — 1 st . That this Association considers it to be highly advantageous to the , cause of Chartism , that a Central Committee for Scotland be again appointed . 2 ud . That , in order to render that Committee an efficient body , we recommend that every Chartist it » Scotland contribute sixuence yearly for its Bupport , to be collected immediately , aud remitted within four weeks after its formation . 3 rd . That we consider it impolitic to reject our right of petitioning , although it is not of itself sufficient to carry the Charter ; still we hold it to be one of the many means we possess of forwarding our cause , and believe that good will result from it .

      4 th . That we are strongly inclined again to try a great National Petition , as preferable to local petitions , which however it does not preclude from being also tried ; and for that purpose , we would recommend that as soon as the necessary funds are got , the Central Committee engage four of the most eloquent orators , and ablt-st advocates of the people ' s rights , to bo found in the country , to agitate the whole of Scotland , taking in their course every town and populous village , which will at all listen to them or be willing to reeeive them ; and that this be commenced , if possible , ere many weeks elapse , so as not to allow the effect of Collins and M'DoualPa tour to be thrown away .

      5 th . With regard to the duties of the Central Committee , it must bo evident that they will depend entirely on the amount of the support it receives ; but presuming that the country will come forward liberally for that purpose , the Hawick Association think that the Committee should , in the first instance , follow up the fourth resolution , respecting the employment of lecturers , in connection with a National Petition . We would also recommend the gratis circulation of Chartist publications of a cheap kind , especially among our rural population , and

      particularly that a certain number of the Chartist Circular be devoted to that purpose . We also advise that the Central Commiitee enter into correspondence and co-operate with the Manchester National Committee , or any other properly constituted body ' . in England , haviirg the same objects m view , so that we may act with unanimity , and consequently with effect . There are many other duties wbioh might be pointed out , but which will naturally occur to the Committee , at any rate they will bo canvassed by the delegates present at their appointment ; bat in general we eipeot it to watek the tuning up of

      Mt Friknds , —Although I am now suffering severely from over-exertion , and from an affection of thf longs , consequent upon the agitation , I c-innot allow this opportunity so pass without addressing " a few words to the people on the destitute , the deserted , and heart-rending condition of th ^ wives and families of the imprisoned and banished friends of labour .

      It has been my fortune to be acquaint © ' ! . with John Frost , and to be able to bear testimony to the high and honourable character of that immortal patriot . You , too , my friends , have also known him , heard of him , as a benevolent man , a tender and affectionate father and husband , and as a just magistrate . I need not record his services , or enumerate his sacrifices . You can estimate botb . He has cast all upon a fearful hazard , and , throwing for your chance , he has sjcrificed all for you , -without a murmur , friends , fortune , rank , comfort , and country .

      You are bound to mate some return to that man . You are bound to watch over the interest of the banished , find protect the home of the widow , and the orphan . When he bade adieu to hia native land , and took a last and longing look at the rugged mountains of his native country , at the svveet scenes of his early dayB , when he turned from those , as he believed , for ever , he had one consolation left—he had one feeling ¦ which burned and brightened in his bosom—and that was , that he had done his duty to his fallow men ; and when he muttered farewell to his home , to

      his wife , and to his children , he felt assured , that if tbe working men could never forget his services , they would net forget his defenceless widow , hia unprotected children . Waa he right in encouraging thai hope ? Waa ho justified in clinging to that belief ? Was the confidence of trust niisplaved or . not ? Wo cannot doubt his right to claim protection for his wife and family ; and are we to Temain in doubt whether that aid will or will not be given ? Justice , reason , humanity , forbid it ; and I will say that the workmen of Great Britain forbid it

      Mrs . Frost , the political widow , is now unaided in the midst of her difficulties , and although pressed by a cruel fate into an insufficient refuge , and having only at her disposal insufficient means , she is neglected , avoided , left to pine and sntfer . Must this injustice be done her ? Can we , ought we , to permit it ? . She is now about to be put to a far greater trial than arfy to which she has hitherto been subjected . The wife has parted with the husband , and tbat parting must have been bitter and -wounding to the human he irt . It ifl OVer , and llluy tho ( lod . of heaven Wt-ss the parted , and spread his mighty arm over them to protect , to sooth , to comfort them . Man has shown to neither of them mercy or sympathy ; or if the latter has been feebly or powerfully bestowed , is that effected the will to be considered us aid , as assistance , so unjustly required , but so niggardly given ? No .

      My friends , Mrs . Frost is now called upon—is now compelled to make a second sacrifice . Her circumstances are limited , her friends are few . her children are numerous , and she is abont to part with them also . The moth « r is forced by poverty—permitttey by you—to drive her children from her bosom , from her watchful care , and from her sheltering roof , and to cast young fsmule 3 upon the rugged path of life , where education but little prepares them for the journey , and whose delicate minds but little enable them to combat with the wiles and ways of a selfish world . .. ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦

      Working men , you , many of yon , are fathers , prevent this ; working women , many of you are mothers , forbid this . Great God ! can we sit still and eriffcr this heart-rending sacrifice to be made by M * s . Piost , by the widow of John Frost ? Never ! The millions will thunder " No " in a voice that cannot , niust net , be mistaken . Who could comfort the widow so much as the presence of her own children , at her own fireside ? What conld possibly bring down her respected head to the grave so soon as the breaking np of the family circle ? And when would the widow vai the weeping mother mourn the most ? It would be when she , deserted , defenceless , childless , looked in agony at tbe blank so cruelly made around her hearthstone . . My frienaa , working men , arouse ! arousef Never dare to speak of justice without ai least showing some determination to practice . Never accuse your enemies , your oppressors of cruelty , without at the same time pulling the mote out of yon * o \ vn ere .
