      ELECTION MOVEMENTS . { Cdiii & iwtf / rOKi the Pint page . ) the feUew doesn ' t know a dose of rhubarb from a doic of Epsora salts . ( Much laughter . )] After giving the would , be opponent a sound thrashing and showing that the motive for his coming forward at ail was to damage him ( Mr Wakley ) for bis conduct at the Hounslow flogging case , when man ' s flesn was torn from his back and was murdered under the superintendence of a surgeon named Warren . The labouring people of this country ought to be eased from taxation . ( Cheers . ) The pressure of the national burdens should be taken off tnem , and placed on tbe shoulders of the wealthy . ( Cheers . ) The income-tax ought to be abo'hbed , but the property-tax

      « honld be fastened on property to tbe end of time- ( Hear , aear . ) Property , by right , should be made to maintain ill our state institutions , and industry should hare the advantage . ( Cheers . ) Tbe tax on tea , the taxes on all the necessaritg of life , should be restored . [ A Voice" And the wiadoir-tax . "j The window-tax , too ; that is ¦ jo . atrocious tax , bad iu every nay , destructive of health , and . like aM other taxes , pressing on tbe industrial portion of the community ; it should be abolished at once . ( Cheers . ) Then the malt tax and the tax on sugar ought to be done away witb as far as possible , and the property of the kingdom should be called on to make compensation to the revenue . (( fear , bear . ) We are about to have a new Parliament , and itis delightful to me reflect that that Parliament has , at any rate made a Radical beginning .

      ( Laughter and cheers . ) My hon . colleague and myself will be the political fathers of Lord J . Eussell and ether candidates , and 1 hope that the new House of Commons n-iil distinguish itself more than the last fw Radical character and proceedings . ( B > ar , bear . ) The last has done , I allow , much good ; its successor , it is to be hoped wiil do mote . ( Hear , hear . ) It is yet marvellous to see the carelessness and indifference of electors in many parts of the kingdom , and the case with which , inconsequence , boroughs , thouxb under the Reform Act , are bought and sold . Tbecooithuenciesshonldrouse tb < mselreson this subject Members representing places like Finsbury often find their exertions neutralized in tbe House of Commons by the purchasers of some rotten boroughs . And , unless the metropolitan constituencies declare themselves on

      this poise , I fear things will remain as they are . So long as boroughs arepurchueable , the people cannot befaithfu' -ly represented . Faithful representation will never be seen until the franchise is extended . ( Cheers : ) I hare always held that taxation and representation thriuld go together . ( Cheers . ) if you can show me a man not taxed , I will show you a man who has net a right to vote , ( Cheers . ) Mr Wakley then gave a severe and startling critique on the late atrocious Bishops' Bill , and concluded by saying : My opinions on all tbe leading questions of our time are unchanged . I commenced political life as a Utdieal Reformer ; as a Radical Reformer I stand before you now ; aud so long as I have intellect a Radical Reformer , I promise you , I will continue to be . ( Cheers . ) My object in carrying into effect Reform principles is to

      see the people of tbis country placed under equal law * . ; I wish to see England , Ireland , and Scotland , governed I exactly alike ; I wish to see thc poorest and humblest ' men in the possession of the same civil and religious [ liberty as the richest and most exalted . ( Cheers . ) But be assured that until tbe poctet boroughs disappear such a liberty will sever exist . ( Hear . ) At tbe present moment our efforts are thwarted by men who bare no in * fiaence with the public at large , but who hare secured the right of voting , and who can make their presence felt in a division list . Ha vimj said so much , I have only , for my colleague and myself , to return our grateful thanks for

      this additional honoar you have conferred on us . When y « s call our conduct in question , we will appear before yog , and , if we do n » t satisfy you , we will readily resign the irast you now place io our bands . That will be our duty , and I beg of you to pursue tbe same course as ot old in politics , to rc-solve never to be content while an abuse remains . ( Hear , hear . ) Jfever mind what hard names tbey may call you ; let them traduce and vilify you as they please . Be satisfied thatin working for tbe accomplishment of public benefit you are struggling for jocr cwn riglits and privileges , promoting tbe sacred cause of civil and religious liberty , and laying the foundation for the welfare of all classes of our

      fellowcitizens . ( Tbe hon . gentleman , as ht retired from the front of the hustings , was loudly applauded ;) Mr J . AiMsiEONG , the chahman of Mr Buncombe ' s committee , then came forward and returned thanks for that gentleman . Hi WiULtv pioposed a vote of thanks to the returning officer , and thanked him fur fixing the election so early , as it had given the electors of Finsbury an opportunity of giving a radical beginning to the new parliament , which he hoped would be radical ia its beginning , its middle , and its end . The returning oCicer having shortly returned thank ? , the court was dissolved , and the proceeding ! ttttninaUd .

      WESTMINSTER , The long looked for contect commenced on Wednesday . The proceedings were announced by the High SailifF to commence at eleven o ' clock , and before that boor tbe space in front of tbe portico of St Paul ' s church , Covent-garden , was filled with an immense number bfptnoni . Nothing was done , however , until near I welve .

      " Brother Bleciora , " when the beer aud tbe tobacco proved too much for him , and he fell to bis "mother esrth . " In tha meantime Mr Charles Cochrane left his committ : e-roora , at tbe Crown tnd Anchor , in the Strand , iu great state . There were flags and resetted individuals in shoals . On the flags there were some curious inscriptions , for instance—* Tbe Queen and tbe Ladies , ' * Cochrane for Westminster , ' « Cochrane and Sanitory Reform—clean sheets are good , ' ' Cochrane—Westminster ' s Ancient Pride and Glory—and Independence / 'TheQuesu . the Ladies , and Cochrane for Westminster , ' & c Union-jaeks and pictures cf the nationnl flag were there in dozens . Mr Cochtane , seated tn a carriage and four , paraded round the market twice or thrice , each time stopping opposite Evans ' s , the balcony of which was filled with ladies , for the purpose of greeting them . At twelve o ' clock the crowd was immense—not less than C . 600 or 8 , 000 were present .

      Sir De Lacy Evans and Mr Charles LaAlnglon first appeared on the hustings , and were greeted with the most enthus ' astlc cheering . Mr Charles Cochrane ' s appearancc immediately after was the signal for loud cheers , and , if possible , louder groans and hisses , which were k * pt up for a considerable time . Lord Handeviile , who with his friends took his place to tbe right of the plstform ,. is a young man , about five and twenty . Ho was unknown by the mob , and probably forgotten by them , for neither cheers nor hisses announced his advent on tha hustings , so far as the mob was concerned , although his friends brought him up with a warm salute enough .

      Dr Bainbridge proposed , and Mr H . Ellis seconded , General Brans . —Mr Murrough moved , and Mr Ballet seconded , Mr C . Cochrane , —Mr H . G . BebinBon moved , Mr C . Lushington , and was seconded by Mr Prout , who made a violent attack on Mr Cochrane , and accusedhim of bribery , as well as of having been the means , through his excessive vanity , of introducing a Tory ; he knew that be had not tbe shadow of a chance cf his own election , and that tbe only effect of the course be was pursuing was to make himself a tool in the hands of tbe Tories . Mr Letsom Elliott proposed Lord Handeviile , who was seconded by Lord Sandon , and the several candidates having addressed the assembly , the High Bailiff took a show of bauds , which be declared bad fallen on Mr Cochrane and 'Sir De Lacy Evans . A poll was demanded on behalf of the other candidates , and appointed for Thursday ,

      ward . Ills speech was scarcely heard , and his reception and appearance * were very far from beinz flattering . Lord Nugent was proposed by Sir Gtorge Stephen and Mr Dell . Sir George made a long speech in defence of civil and religious liberty . Lord Nugent , iu addressing tbe electors , declared that be would never support the endowment by the State of any church ; a statement which was received with the most rapturous applause .

      ABINGDON . The nomination for this borough , took place in the Town-hall , on Wednesday , which was densely crowded . George Bowes Morland . Esq ., nominated Sir F . Thesiger . B . J . TrendclI , Esq ., late mayor , seconded thc nomination . Gabriel Davis , E « q „ nominated , and Dr Tomkins seconded , the nomination of General Caulfeild . Sir F .

Feel ' s government , of which he was a member , and contrasted the crippled state of thc revenue at the time that minister took office , with its more favourable position when he retired . A show of hands was taken , and decided to be in favour of General Caulfeild . Sir F- Thesiger demanded a poll , which was fixed to take place on Thursday . BATH .

      The nomination of candidates to represent this city iu vailiamenb took place on XVeilnesday . Party feeling ran very high , and the proceedings were characterised by an unusual amount of excitement and uproar . The nomination was held in the Orange-grove where a hustings had been erected . At a fev minutes before Jl o ' clock Lord Duncan and Mr Roebuck , accompanied by a large body of tlieir supporters , arrived at the hustings , and were soon afterwards followed by Lord Ashley and his friends . Lord Ashley then advanced to the front of the hustings , and shook hands with his noble opponent , and offered to do so with Mr Roebuck , but that gentleman , to the amusement of all who witnessed it , with a formal bow , and saying— " Excuse

      me , I'd rather not , " politely declined the proffered honour : Considerable opposition was offered to Lord Ashley In the course of Ms speech , he said Mr Roebuck had appealed to him whether he had ever shrunk from fearlessly stating his opinions in thc House of Commons . He ( Lord Ashley ) most willingly bore his testimony that he had never known tho lion , and icarned gentleman to do so ; and the only fault he found with him was , that he stated his opinions rather unpleasantly . ( A laugh . ) lie would admit that the hon . and learned gentleman had ever been remarkably bold and straightforward in the declaration of his principles , and in one or two instances in which he had co-operated with the hon . and

      learned gentleman , he did act like a man who bad honesty and boldness in bis heart . ( Hear *) Tbe hon . and learned gentleman said he could state the rer . son why he declined to take his hand . lie had stated tbe fact , but he forgot to assign the reason . Mr Rotbcck ( holding up a placard ) said that the friends of the nible lord had accusedhim , from one end of the town to the other of being , of being an Infidel , and opposed in every maxim and iu every way to thc sacred doctrines of religion , lie most suppose the noble lord to be cognizant of that , but he had done nothing to give the lie to that foul and cowrdly calumny . ( Cheers . ) Lord Ashley c < mid assure the honourable and learned gentlemen that he was ignorant of the

      existence of the placard until late on thc previous evening -, and that , as he had not been able to canvass personally , his friends had canvassed for him ; but ho was not crying out of what they bad stated , and could not , therefore , neeeive the statements of the honourable and learned gentleman with readiness , unless what was socharged was proved . He did not want to parade his services , but if any service he had rendered were altogether denied , he was justified in setting himself right before that assembly . The gallant officer who proposed his noble opponent , said the Factory Bill was carried while he ( Lord Ashley ) was oat of Parliament , and that thc bill was Mr Sadler ' s . That was true , but it was not the whole truth . Mr Sadler introduced the bill , and he

      lost bis seat in 18-32 . He ( Lord Ashley ) waselected in 1 S 33 , and took the bill in charge and so kept it lor thirteen years , and when he left Parliament , he confided it to Mr Fielden , by whom it was carried to comp lete succe- 's . But had he net taken that bill in charge , he should have participated in the honour and emoluments of office . ( Hear , hear . } His noble opponent bad referred to the window-tax . When the noble lord brought forward his motion , he ( Lord Ash * ley ) heartily encouraged him to go on with it , and said he thought the window-tax was one of the most injurious , and that it ought to be repealed as soon as the public revenue would bear the removal of the

      impost . ( Hear , hear . ) It was true that he had devoted liimscSl to social questions affecting the condition of the working people , and , should ho be returned to Parliament ; it was his determination to continue to devote himself to them . ( Cheers . ) lie would not fatigue them any longer , but if he were returned , he should have attained the great object of his endeavours , and if he were defeated he should look blue , and that , after all , Iras the true colour .

Mr Hudson , as a new candidate , said that he was favourable to free trade , but he would not carry it out without reciprocity . He would , however , give free trade a fair trial .

      "Cnfon for tkt MWq m " F ~ RifiNDs ,- \ Ve feel called upon this week to di . tect your attention to the increasing claims upon the funds of the Association , hoping that those trades who are 111 arrears will exert themselves to pay up their back levies , and * invest the Centra ! Cowmittee with the necessary power and means to carry out the objects of the Association te the fullest extent .

      Before entering upon this subject we think it dr . sirable to lay-before you one particular object proposed to be accomplished 'by the introduction and practical workings of our" Monster Union , " that is , the additional power and influence each trade anti- ' cipates acquiring by becoming members of this Association . This is one groat object of the Union , and every trade is right in expecting it . But let us consider upon what an accession of power and infiuence depends . Let us endeavour to understand

      what it » that conicrs and permanently retains this power and influence . And rest assured , that unless we attend to imparting the requisite means we cannot possibly realize our purposes . Ujion what , therefore , we ask again , does an accession of power and influence depend ? In answer to this , we say , it depends upon our associated means . And , in proportion as we are constant and punctual in contributing our individual mite , in precisely the same wopoitKm shall wc increase our respective local power and influence .

      Every single member belonging to the Association has a certain work to do . A work which no one besides himself can do efficiently ; so that if he neglects to perform his part , he injures the Society , and by bad example leads others from the path of duty . For the trades to acquire an increase of power and influence , the members individually must be active and devoted , and cheerfully co-operating with each other for the attainment and preservation of the rights of labour , and their power will increase with thc increase of a spirited co-operation .

      This , therefore , is one thing we ask our individual members to do . We want each man to do his part , to attend to his respective duty , to he constant and persevering in his labours , firm lo his princi ples , and punctual in his contributions ; when this is the case , an association strong and healthy would be brought into existence , and the working classes so associated would possess a power of defence that would bid defiance to the most artfully-concerted aud well managed opposition . It is this constancy , this firmness , this personal devotedness and regularity of subscription , that will impart the necessary means to conduct the movement ot this Association in a successful manner ; and enable the executive to encounter with courage and energy the attacks oi cupidity and wrong , and to brave with manliness

      and invincible firmness the storms which gather and threaten to burst with unspeakable fury and rage upon the heads of the " working bees , " to averium and crush for ever claims to an equitable remuneration lor the labour they perform . Then , fellow . labourcrs , to your posts like men ; let each individual member defenainc ( 0 do his duly ; let each resolve that the good wcrk of emancipation thai ! not be obstructed by any negligosce , or want of tSevotediiess on his part . And when tv ; ry o ; ie lays his shoulder to the wheel , and endeavours ' n help forward the great movement for the amelioration of the physical condition and social redemption of the toiling millions , ( he work will be . comparatively easy ; our progression would be without a precedent , while our cttbrts would Im attended with : unmixed and complete success .

      The time for this individuality of action , this constant and nnin . ' emipted exeriion , and cliceriti ! responses , and punctual observance to thc pecuniary claims of the Association has come . The extensive demands of the varions trades upon the tunds of the Union render it essential " that every man should do his duly . " The strong muit not delay to exert hii strength lo aid and deliver the weak , and bv organising aud concentrating their individual

      power , bring that power to bear on behalf of those now struggling against the tyrannical impositions and unjust exactions of dishonourable and moneyloving capitalists , and enable them to rear an imperishable monument of the power of union , and the folly of employers in tampering with the rights of labour , and for their own aggrandisement reducing the wages of the injured and suffering operative .

      • This , therefore , is the mode the National Association proposes to assist and increase the power and influence of local societies , by adding to the local internal power already possessed by those trades , the power and influence of the entire Association . But if the trades are careless , and indifferent to the welfare of the combination , how can it be expected that the Central Committee can malie the Association as etlicient as it is intended to be ? The amount of means invested in the hands of the executive must ever determine the nafure and extent of their operations . For every one must be aware , ( hat if the available means of ( he Asaociatioft are not commensurate with the objects and demands , the Central Committee cannot make up the deficiency .

      The Central Committee are fully satisfied that , according ; to rule 23 page 7 , they have the power to " call for any levies from the associated trades , as may he required for the maintainance of such measures for the proteclion of industry to which they may give their sanction , " but they are unwilling to avail themselves of the liberty this law authorises , providing the exigencies of the Association can be met without it . Besides , there are a number of trades considerably in arrears , and if these trades ' will endeavour to pay up their back levies , it will enable the Central Committee , efficiently to conduct

      the present struggles to a successful termination . Then let the trades rally ! Let those trades'in arrears exert themselves to the utmost to become clear on the books . Let each individual say to himself , " I will pay up my back levies , and resolve in future , never to miss a single levy imposed upon mc for the protection of industry . " Let every one who has suffered his payments to run back , only resolve to do this , and you will act nobly and wisely , and set an example worthy of imitation ; and at the same time , you will g ' ve a determined proof of your moral power , and intention to resist the aggressions of capitalists upon the rights of industry . if

      The working classes have it in their power , they would only decide to exercise that power , to put oppression ' to open shame , and cause tyranny and injustice to shrink back in disgrace , and fix a period to all evil deeds and foul misdoings , practised without a blush , and ns a matter of right , upon the industrious classes . Indeed , if it had not been for the apathy of thc working class , the greater portion of the wrongs and privations they are now compelled to endure would not have been imposed upon them . They have often calmly and passively suffered their rights and privelcges to be encroached upon , until now they are almost lost in a labyrinth of physical and social difficulties and afflictions , from which it will be difficult to extricate them , unless it is effected by one general and national effort .

      Indeed , so deeply sunk in wretchedness and des titution are the great mass of operatives , that nothing short of a national combination will secure their elevation ; and if they were so minded they would be able , by co-operation , to raise themselves to that standard of Jiappincss and independence they have , in their indifference and carelessness , suffered to be wrenched from them . , ; /¦ ¦' Let those who are for bettering their 'condition immediately determine to become members ' of thc National Association 5 and if the times Ifrc so hard that you can scarcely pay your levies , resolve to make a sacrifice . Let us dispense with half-a-pinl of beer per week , rather than suffer ourselves to run back in otir contributions . And what man is there

      who would object to do this , when it was done to raise the condition of himself and fellow-workmen ? and these small savings to he thrown into one common fund , like National Association for the Protection of Industry . Were this done what moral power we should possess ! What influence we should have in society ! And by a vigorous and prudent application of this power be able to cast off the shackels and trammels that fetter and obstruct our onward march lo liberty . We feel satisfied if the working classes only knew their own power and intrinsic value they would never delay to come forward , and by diligently attending to the cultivation and excise of that power , they would soon be free and well paid for their labour .

      It is absolutely astonishing that those who produce all should allow themselves to be destitute ol every thing convenient and essential to human sustenance , especially when they possess in union-surf co-operation such an immense power , that when properly applied for their interests would baffle all opposition set in motion against them . But the great mass appears indifferent to know their power . A

      « pirit of lethargy and supineness characterizes their general demeanour ; and a feeling of destructive contentment lulls them into inactivity and heedless , ness , while ihe employer and the oppressor are con . certing measures to impoverish and degrade them . Oh ! that the working classes could awake ! that they would be wise , and well consider that which is so eminently calculated to promote their highest interest , and their family ' s welfare . To those who have risen to a sense of duty we

      sav give your indolent and careless neighbours no rest till you bring them into thc field of labour and co-operation . Let every member of the National Association determine to bring another with him , and then we shall swell in numerical strength , aug . ment our pecuniary resources , and with that we shall he able to command a greater amountof moral power anil influence , to the terror of evil-doers and to ihe praise and honour of those who do well .

      The Central Committee Of The Above Flour...

      The Central Committee of the above flourishing institution met on Monday and following days , for the transaction of general business . A mass of correspondence has been received from all parts of tbe kingdom , and adhesions from the ladies' shoemakers of London , the West-end division , Maidstone shoemakers , Nottingham bleachers and trimmers , Bradford shoemakers , Lynn wMle-smiths , Wynnlaton horse-nail-makers , Glasgow mule-workers , Stockport dyers and cotton-yarn dressers , Kuthven calico printers , Siourport " carpet weavers ; Manchester silk winders , and Barrhead block cutters . Also the following reports from the members of the Central Committee : —Mr Williamson was appointed by the

      Central Committee last week to mediate with several employers who had offered reductions to their men ; Accordingly therefore to in 5 tructions , hc waited uponthe small-ware weavers of Birmingham , in the employ of Mr Carpenter ; he found that gentleman had offered a reduction of Is . 6 d . per piece upon anarticle called six-inch drab belt , for which piece the regular trade-price is 4 s . 6 d . . Mi Williamson called several times upon Mr Carpenter , but could not obtain an interview . , Mr Williamson being obliged to leave Birmingham for Manchester upon other important business , made arrangements

      to call upon Mr Carpenter on his return to London . He then proceeded to Manchester , to endeavour to ' effect a reconciliation between Messrs Smith and Co . and their hands now on strike , nearly 200 in number . Mr W . waited upon that gent , who received him very courteously , but complained very much of the bad conduct of . his men , upon which Mr Williamsonmade strict inquiry , and found , to his satisfaction , that Mr Smith's hands , male and female , had conducted themselves with the strictest order and decorum . Mr Williamson , therefore , cannot help but express his entire satisfaction of the manner in which Mr Parker has conducted that strike .

      Mr W . had , also , on the same day , a second interview with Messrs Smith and Sons , on which occasion Mr Williamson endeavonred to effcet bis object by making a little concession on the part of the men , believing that by this means he should have been ableto settle the dispute to the satisfaction of both parties ; but Mr Smith would not concede the point , and deviated from several of his own previous statements .
