      To The Impjjkjal Chartists. ^ My Vert. N...

      ; TO TUE IMPERIAL C 11 ABT 1 STS , ; ( Continued / roi » t * e' first page . ) their darling measure—of Repeal ; of the Union--lhatialUuepampf . ted , ttiecli « i 9 l \ ed , the treU-pftid advocates , who refuse to strengthen nationality by a denial o ^ patronage , or the rejection of bloodmoney . It is n-j-w iate at night , and I cannot further trust myself witH this subject—further , than to warn the plac 4-hunters and persecutors of Ireland that at my h ' irids they shall receive no mercy . They have

      attempted to dishonour everything that the nation should be proud of , and to exalt everything that the nation should shudder at . The very graves of the martyred heroes , who have Wed and suffered for Ireland , have been scoffed at , made bywords of reproach—while the sycophants , who trafficked in the blood , and made merchandise of the credulity of their slaves , have been distinguished as paragons of excellence . But enough ; though the world is my republic , Ireland is my country—and I will heap coals ot fire upon my countrymen ' s heads , by returning good for their evil .

      While the Press is daily boasting that the new spirits of . Democracy will find their level in the House of Commons , my consolation ^ is , that the old servile hacks will be brought to their level ; because with the little band that we have now , we command the balance of power . In their market note they have set me down as a Liberal , which means a supporter , of Russell , and they have set Duscdims down in the same catalogue , and about 80 others , ' thus giving the ministers a crushing assistance , an assistance which will compel them to exclaim _ "Save ns from our friends . "

      The "Whigs are doomed , and even the patronage hunting Conservative Repealers cannot save them , and why I write , is to ash you to look upon the recent elections as an old almanack and to tell you to prepare in time for the more independent expression of public opinion which is rare to follow . The Reform Bill merely caused a transfer of political power from the hands of one faction to those | of another , but free-trade was a measure which in its results must disturb the stability of the church , the privileges and manorial rights of the aristocracy ; the speculations of the capital ist , and the policy of

      governments . They have struck the key-stone , and the arch must tumble ; they have grubbed the root , and the branches must perish ; they have undermined the foundation , and the edifice must fal . Russell ' s genius was too childish and puerile to comprehend the effect that the admission ofthe produce of the world must have upon the vested interests that were supported upon the exclusion of that produce , and while he was making the chains suitable to speculators and the constituent body , he was not capable of understanding that he was simultaneously sapping the interests ofthe poor , which were

      mainly based upon the prescriptive privilege of the rich . He thought to feed the large family from that store which law would confine in the hands of the few . He hoped to enrich classes without considering the effect upon the nation . I predicted for you that the rich market being opened , all speculators ia the world would traffic in it . I showed . you the proportion which the growers of food bore to the producers of artificial fabrics , and I proved to you that the agricultural labourers should either starve or become paupers , or be competitors in the artificial m arket , and now mark the approximation to my

      prediction ; wheat , which I told yon would sell for 30 s . a quarter , was last Saturday bought in Gloucester market for 52 s . a quarter , whereas niue weeks ago it was 112 s . in the same market ; and when the large supply grown upon speculation all over the world comes into the English market , two-thirds of the English agricultural labourers will be driven into the competitive artificial market , or nutst be supported by the farmers , and then . as I predicted , the pillars of the sta ' . e , the yeomen of the state , the brawlers for church and king , will be transformed into the rebels of the state ; and Chavtisni ' s next greatest difficulty

      will be to suppress an atrjicultural revolution . Then the landlords will rebel against the crown , and against the church , and the church will rebel against the . constitution ; for , as I have often told you take away tithes and privileges , and the church and the landlords become the greatest rebels . With their loss of power their loyalty evaporates , and as a protection against those rebels , ministers must rebel against national faith ; and to save the country from a revolution that would transfer power to the conquerors , all must rely then upon

      the soundness . the judgment , the virtue , and the valo ur of Chartism , in explanation of which , and to conclude my letter , I will give you the following striking instance . I published the fact recently , that a friend of mine had kindly presented my Non-Electors' Committee at "Nottingham with £ o a man , for their services , and here follows the proud , the virtuous reply of framework knitters and stockingers , not one of whom had a week ' s provision , or k new where to get it . It is too grand , too sublime , to offer a comment upon , it shall speak for itself : — Nottingham , August 11 th , 1 S 47 .

      Dear Sin ;—At a meeting ef the general Committee of the Non-Electors of Nottingham , held at the sign of the King ofthe French , on Tuesday , August 10 th , 1847 , it was unanimously resolved : —' That wo do most respectfully decline to accept the present of money to the Committee ofthe Non-Electors of Nottingham , made by your friend , and mentioned by yourself iu the last week ' s Nobthern Star . Wo consider we are amply repaid in the never-to-be-forgottcn . yetastounding fact , IhatwE havk cosqubrkd . ' , I remain , yours , ( to . On behalf oi' the Committee , D . 0 . GnEOony . Feargus O'Connor , Esq „ iI . P .

      Read , that , ye five pound hucksters of Conciliation Hall ; read that , ye drivelling Repeal candidates , who qualify yourselves as representatives by the payment of five pounds to traffickers in thtir country ' s li berty . Gentlemen , who have written and signed that letter , my thanks arc but a poor tribute to offer to your patriotism ; your noble self-denial adds im measurably to the virtue of Chartism : vonr virtuous devotion must cause sy « ° p ' ' -n ts t 0 blush .

      The Newton Meeting. Perhaps Such A Gathe...

      THE NEWTON MEETING . Perhaps such a gathering as that assembled un the Race Ground at Newton in Lancashire , upon Sunday last , a day when those living in the smoke for the week , are naturally anxious to betake themselves to recreation and amssement , is unparalleled in the history of agitation . Thousands and tens of thousands of orderly and enthusiastic disciples of a persecuted canse , then assembled on a wild heath , desolate and unpeopled , save when the sports ofthe aristocracy lead to the congregation of the idle . It is in truth a theme to dwell upon , a sub ' ect to reflect upon , when mighty masses come 20 , 30 , and 40 miles , to prove their devotion to a cause which it was once treason tol ove , and death o defend . Sunday , however , was a great day for England and Chartism . As special trains from Manchester , Liverpool , and Birmingham added their tributary streams to the mountain gathering , every road was blocked with every description of conveyance , while ; or miles the " footways were thronged . with pedestrians—men and womeii-wendingtheir way to the Chartist standard The heath was alive , and the only solitary thing in view was the stand-house , ou . y open or gamblers , but closed against those who might have witnessed the cheering race of progression , wherein the se veral competitors wereimpelled by the whip of per . section , and the spur ol oppression . It wa 9 < ° glor'ons sight—in the cabinet there was wisdom , in the fi . ild there was enthusiasm , As early as »» ie o ' clock , * thirty delegates representing all the districts

      The Newton Meeting. Perhaps Such A Gathe...

      of South Lancashire , had assembled to arrange the preliminaries .: At H Mr OXonnor arrived from Lowbands / and was- welcomed with ; a deafening cheer . At one , Mr RoBERTS v thc chairman , arrived , and was greeted with a similar salute . At half-past the proceedings commenced , when the Chairman opened the business with an admirable and soulstirring address . Damel Donovan followed , proposing " The Charter and no Surrender , " as the first resolution , with a recommendation to hold a Chartist Convention , and he prepared with a Churtist petition to meet the next parliament , and made a powerful and impressive speech . Mr Cam-islet ably seconded it , and Mr . O'Connor supported it . ' Mr

      Jones of Liverpool followed - -, with-a-resolution for the " application ' of the "' 'Land to national " purposes ,-as one , of the best means of remedying the grievance * of the country ; and' his namesake from the same place followed ' in an eloquent strain , \ then Richard Pilling , the FATHER OF THE ' MOVEMENT , moved a resolution pledging the meeting to persevere in a demand for the restoration of Prost , V . miams , ; and Jones , all of which were carried unanimousl y , ; and amid thunders of applause ; and at five , o ' clock the several streams returned to their several hornes . to bear the country ' s resolution back to their several towns . We cannot be expected to . furnish a more extensive report , while we cheerfully refer our readers to . the Manchester

      Times , whose reporter , during the whole time of the meeting , was actively eihaged in taking notes ; all , hercfore , who are anxious to see a copious report , will purchase that paper , and as a return of favours , andasa " sure means of enlisting the press in our behalf , we would recommend those that are able , to purchase an extra number of the Manchester Times , and send it to a friend . As far " as wc are concerned , we arc quite satisfied to divide our circulation , now becoming extensive , with omsbrethren of the press who have the manliness and the courage to be foremqst in that cause , which the ffhole . press of the country must ere long compete in , as it is folly to deny the fact that Chartism is becoming-the ia > hionahle , the all absorbing isni of the day , thanks to tbe indomitable mar t yrs of 1839 , ' 4 . 0 , and ' 42 , whose courage was whotted by persecution . Onward and we conquer , back ward . and we fall ;

      The People s Charter and No Surrender ! "We give the following account from tho Daily News ;—' Chartist Susdat Cam * Mkeiixo . —The Chartists of South Lancashire had a large eamp-mecting on Sunday , on the common at Newton-in-Makoificld sometimes called Newton-in-tbe-Willows , half-way between Manchester and Liverpool , being about sixteen miles from each of those towns , and also nearly equi-distantfrom the smaller towns of Wigan and Warrington ; tho former being about seven miles , and the latter six miles distant . Tho object of the meeting was to meeiiVfr O'Conuor , and congratulate him on his return for Nottingham , and to discuss

      the Land and Labour question . The out-door demonstration was preceded by a meeting of delegates from Chester , Liverpool , Stockport , Stalybridtto , Hyde , Bawden . " Rodnhle , St flck-n ' s , Astley , Ecoles , Hindlcy , Prescott , Bolton , Heywood ; Leigh . Oldham , Bury , Wigati , Warrington , and Chester . At this preiimary meeting , held at the White Swan Inn , Mr O'Connor was present , and the principal subject discussed was a recommendation from the Liverpool Chartists to appoint an executive , for the purpose of hiring lecturers and issuing ch ^ ap publications illustrative of their principles . The question was adjourned to a future meetteg , on the ground that many of the delegates hiid not authority from their

      constituents to vote either for or against the proposition , notice of its pvouosal not , having been given them . I The public meeting on tho common , or viice-course , took place about half-past ' one o ' clock , the speakers being accommodated with standing room on some carts drawn together . Tk ' e number of men assembled on the spot was between six and eight thousand ; aud it may be considered a largo gathering , when it is taken into account that the immediate iieighboui--liood , for four or five miles in every direction is verv thinly populated . There is but one cheap or third class train from Manchester , and only one from Liverpool , on Sunday morning , and each of tho trains

      had brought about six or eight hundred persons . People from other distant towns had eamoin carts and other vehiclco , and it was stated that there tvere men who had walked as many as thirty miles to ba present . A good sprinkling of women mixed with the company before the meeting , "' and frem the groups scattered about the common before tho business commenced , partaking of refreshments and enjoying themselves by strolling across the country in all directions , it was evident that many of them had come as gipsy or pic-nic parties , torninsio pleasure as much as possible with busiress .

      Mr w . P . RonERis , attorney , of . Manchester , was called to the chair , and opened the meeting , after which Mr Daniel Donovan proposed a resolution , pledging th ? parties present te continue tho agitation of the People ' s Charter until it should become tho law of tho land , and recommending that a number of the people's champions should meet in London on the occasion of Mr Feargus O'Connor taking his scat its Parliament , to escort him to the house , and to lend theirassistance to the getting up of a national petition in favour of the Charter , to be presented bv him .

      The motion having been seconded , Mr O'Cos . nor addressed the asfemblase in support of it . Ho was received witk great enthusiasm . He assured them of his concurrence in every word of the resolution , and said that it must be highly consolatory to the old votaries . of Chartism to find that , after ten years of slander , misrepresentation , and persecution , the principle was net , as they had often hoard it stated to be , defunct ; but hid such vitality as to draw together the splendid gathering he saw before him—inducing men out of their pure love to it to como many miles , aUdto give up their only day oi rest out of the seven , to be present . They had been asked by Tories , Whigs , and Fice » tradc-sto giva a of their

      proof progress . That could only be done by contrast , and he called upon those present to contrast their present position with their past—to contrast the fact of their having 05 delegates from all parts of the country assembled in the county of Worcester , upon ihe peoples' own estate , in fcberr own building , with tho circiimstanef-s under which ther formerly met . Look at tho contrast of tha present occasion ,, when they were met with tha sanction of the magiiH trates , and compare it with old times , whon magi ;; - ' tratcs and authorities evcrywhtT-0 wposed rhrmcompare thcir ^ rogress with tlmt of Wlnraevj— Whiggery fairly presented to them , and bo » heJiliid Sbt , treasury benches . He pointed thorn to the time when *

      the only representative of Chartism in parliament was Mr Buncomhs ; and now , in addition to the returns in their favour at the late election , he would ask them to take additional courage from the state of the polls at Sheffield , Wigan , Aberdeen , Tiverton , atid . BIackbiirn , at all of which places th » y had candidates on tho busting . " lYhiggisni , on the contrary , was progressing backwards , in spltc of the Reform Bill , by which it was sought to pl . tce in Ihe House of Commons a fr ™ Tories , many Whigs , but r . o Radicals or Chartists ; and their real » f-Vnn 0 ' » •« «•« House of Commons , wiCi the powors of the government at their back , was only 220 ; for ho called upon

      their friends to be cautious how they believed in the returns of majorities made by the newspaper ? , wh ©«> be , and Mr Duncnmbe , and Colonel Thompson , and others holding opinions equally iar in advance ol them , were put down as feathers in the tail of Whig-« ery . Mr O'Connor went on to speak of their two estates at O'O'mnorvillo and Lowbands , and said lie was going t 3 Oxford the following day to lay the foundation for another . ' He said tbo Chartists bad altogether subscribed a sum ot " between £ 70 , 000 and £ 80 , 000 to . be invested in this way , and gave a flattering account cf the position of the settlers on these new estates .

      Air E . Jokes , of Liverpool , moved tho second rest ) . lntioB , which was to the effect that it was the duty of government so to legislate as to enable the toiling masses to protect themselves from want , the best way of doing which was to give them access to the iancl , and calling upon government to make this a cabinet question . Mr T . Jo . veb s «? ecnled the motion . A resolution pledging the rnccUnR to support the Chartist Executive in restoring Frost , Williams , and Jones having been agreed to , both the previous ones wer « unanimously approved of , aud the meeting separated .

      "WtnforiheUmon , " . IIOLYTOwFiMINERS . ' The social condition of those men is becoming worse daily , notJhro-j , ? h their own iranrudeuce or want of foresight , not through their early or " improvident marriages , but by tho cruolacts of capitalist * . They may be told that it is the effects of combination ; that they could , if they were disposed , earn more money by harder or more incessant labour ; but would they bo enabled to maintain the principle of a'fn . ir day ' s wage for > fair day ' s world' Should one out of three be deprived of work , simplv because tho other two determined to do their share " of tho labour . We know that this doctrine is held out ; that it is being vyidely disseminated among the hipher classes of society ; that the colliers in Lanarkshire

      will not work more than a certain number of hours per day . Mr Seymour Tremenhcere , the government mining commissioner , say 9 , ' upon tho foreign trade of Lanarkshire , 'That there r . re large orders in Glasgow for pig iron for Germany and ' elsewhere , if it could bo shipped at 60 s . to 65 s , per ton . This prico would afford a fair profit to the iron-master , aud a fair rate of wages to tho collier an ' -l iron stone miner , enabling them to earn from 3 s . Gd . to 4 ? . per day , by ten hours reasonable labour . But by their combination they have « o raised tbe price to tho ironmaster of the raw material , that he is obliged to demand 70-s . to 75 s . for the iron that he ought to bo able to produce for 60 i . to G 5 s . ' In this not a word i » written about tho profits of the master mineror

      , thatof the ironmaster ; but a reduction is necessary to meet tho Germans and that reduction must be made from the wages oi the workmen and not from Hie raw material , or , in other words , from the profits of the dealer . This high price is occasioned , savs tins worthy functionary , by the effects of combination- among the men , and to esabfe us to sell , this combination must be destroyed—the men coerced —and less wages paid . Mr . Murray , one of the proprietors ofthe Monkland ironworks , says , 'I have been engaged in the iron and coal trade since 1808 . We now ' employ at our works about three thousand people . From the time I first knew colliers they have always been in the habit of restricting themselves in their labour .

      In . consequence of this restriction of labour wo are obliged to keep one third more men in our employ , and consequently build one third more houses , to sink one third more pits , with engines , railways , horses , engine-men and drivers , and aii tho other incidental expenses belonging to this adddition to our fixed costs . All this operates most injuriously against us , both in our foreign and home trade , ia competing with other producers at home aud abroad , who have the benofi t of free labour . ' flow sore these capitalists feel on the question of free labour , and combinivtion of workmen . How sensitive they arc ofthe rights of capital , tho injury good wages doss to the community , and the treat

      loss it is to the nation . - Restriction of labour ! how cruel ! how oppressive ! How painful ii must be to a well-regulated and Christian mind , that men should combine to livethat they should say , ' llovo my neighbour asmyselt , and he shall partake ofthe half of what I have . I will not absorb till the labour , I will not be a real slave . My brother man shall be a partaker . ' This is not just , ye miners . You ought to work , to starve , to accumulate riches for others , and be content—because your master says two might live , if he would consent to starve the third . Surely Mr Murray must be a Christian—he rnu-jt be liberal—ivery liberal—ho wants you to be free , free-to walk and starve . He is one of those who look

      upon man as a mere machine , without a soulbrought into the world to cat , to drink , to work , to sleep , and die . What an admission lor the grand principles of Sh ort Time . Mr Murray is compelled to employ one-third moro men , one-third more of everything , because the men combine to work only a certain number of hours per day . He woidd like to see the two at work , and the third ask him for work at something less—that would be free labour . Mr Murray has no desire yc'ti should compel him to give Is . per lb . for meat , or 2 s . Gd . for bread , but he has a desire you should not have moro than he pleases for labour , and that he would call free . Combination , say the masters , must be destroyed . Among this hardy race , these workers in the mines must be civilised , they must be unhoused , and thrown upon the wide world for succour .

      This is not a trial of strength on the part ofthe employers , simply on the question of wages , but it involves a far deeper principle—the principle of liberty —the principle of commencing labour when you please , and ceasing when it is necessary . The specious plea of the evil effects of combination on ihe price of the commodity , is a . pretext for the basest tyranny . and th-2 destruction of one man assisting another incases ofdifliculty . The principle of self-protection is inherent in man—and as old as tho hillsa principle which all the sophistry of political economist , cannot obliterate or destroy . It standsfinn as the rocks , and will prove as durable as time . It is a principle which the capitalist uphold U himself as the means of adding more riches to his wealth .

      \ Voi king nv not ' the United Kingdom , shall this prineij-lc be checked among the miners , through your apathy or indifference ? We appeal to yon on behalf of suffering humanity , on behalf of a noble , though impetuous , people . On behalf of men who have been driven to the verge of despair and death . Men whose only crime is , that they dosiro to live by the . sweat of their brows , who desire to raise their children in comfort , and maintain their homes with decency—who desire to instruct their offspring in that which is just between man and man . Men who revere their rights and privileges , and respect the properly cf ethers . Men who desire to follow out tho noble maxim , ' Do unto others , rs ye would they should do unto yon . ' Can you , nfier their case has been duly considered , withhold your assistance ? Show some mercy—as Shakespeare says : — It droppetfi like tbecc . 'itle iew from heaven Itblesseth him that givetli , And him that doth receive .

      We entreat yoi ? , on behalf of ihe suffering babes , to assist them * . Again , we say , lctprejudice and illwill be buried . All man should rush to the rescue , and assist these brave men , who are lying in ' the camp of refuge . ' You must all prove ' Lords of Bvun , ' by labouring night and day iu tho good cause of freedom and charity to all men .

      THE EMPLOYMENT ASSOCIATION . This useful association is gradually moving along in unionism with the one for tho protection of labour . Its duties are of a highly important character . * The Eanufactariug of goods , viz , tin plate goods , stiooa , stockings , gloves , socks , serge , shirting , table-cloths , nails , A'c . It is now virtually governed by the same body aa the Protective Association , among whom are practicable mtn , and under whose management we trust it will flourish . This mode of doing business is the best way of all , because in trades ' strikes the money is better applied than giving it to the men to waik " about in iulenesa . Yet ic will havo some

      difficulties 10 encounter , and especially in times liko the present , when tho money markets are flat , trade at it standstill , tho wehou ses glutted with goods , tho people wMiou J jie means of buying , and tho dearness of provisions . ... , During tbeso times tho men employed will have tosuiicr inconveniences with respect to employment , in the same ratio as those under niaiiuiactutcrs ; hot not in the shape at less wages for « iuvcn quanf . tv of work . A move is being made by some ot tho buyers to bring down wages in the shape of demanding extra lengths , such as ti ; irt 3--scven inches to the yard , or nineteen to the half yard , f his must be met " with firmness on the part of the men , but reason must he the guide .

The jpetiker showed at one view the profit that would accrue to tha NationaVAssoclhvlon from the manufacture andsale ot goods , and demonstrated its practicability , when taken up with spirit and energy by the working classes ; Ho resumed his scat amid loud and long-coutinucd ap ^ plause .

      Mr James Srntton , of Leek , in a very vrarm and animated address , earneetly exhorted tha Bilk twisters , pickers , and weavers to join the National Association , as the only just aud rational method ' to redeem the trades of Leek from tho blighting hand of tyranny , On Friday , ho returned to the Potteries , to ascertain the nature of tbe crate makers'strike , and found all going on in tbe right direction . On Saturday he again proceeded to Leek , to hold a second meeting of the trades . The meeting was larger and more enthusiastic than the first , Mr Gratton was called to the chair , and after a few appropriate rental ks , introduced Jfr it ., who , in a lucid speech , set forth the claims ofthe National Association upon the trades o £ Lock , showed its adaptation to meet the " wants and to

      secure the objects of such a trade , and that the only wise and rational plan was to join the National Association . It would enable tbein to resist effectually tbe attacks of capitalists , and place them in a position to better their circumstances . He also directed their attention to the case of tbe Holytown ' miners , and very feelingly described the unprectdented and cruel treatment practised upon the poor miners by tbtlr ^ heartlosB tyrants ! That in ejecting the miners , tbeir wives and children , they had adopted a course which would ercite ths indignalion and execration of every wellwisher to the cause of Labour . A strong feeling on

      hehalf of the ejected miners was elicited , and tha committee have agreed to canvass the town to obtain support for the poor colliers . Let this course be adopted throughout the kingdom , and tbe Holytown miners will be rescued from the oruol grasp of base and heartless tyranny .- Tho Aberdeen trades have devised the following plan to raise meant for tiie Holytoirn miners ;—' That the town be divided into districts , and all members act ai collectors la their respective districts , until the strike is iinishei , aud for tbe better carrying out the intention of the Central Comu ? ittce , it was proposed that an appeal be sent to every trade and manufactory in tho totvn .

      All we can say to . the other trades is , ' go and do likewise , ' Notices , - All trades and sections of trades who have not recelred the appeals of the Central Committee on behalf of tbe Hiilytown miners , ean have them on application : at tbe office , No . 11 , ToUeuham-court-road , or by letter .
