      To Thei Imperial Chart Jts." '; Mr;Veryj...

      tempted 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 ot excellence . But enough ; though the world is my republic , Ireland is my country—and I will heap coals ol fire upon my countrymen ' s heads , by returning good for tlieir evil .

      While the Press is daily boasting that the new spirits of Democracy will find their level in the House of Commons , my consolation js , that the old servile hacks will be bronght 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 Duncombb 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 us from our friends . "

      The Whigs are doomed , aud even the patronage hunting Conservative Repealers cannot save them , and why I write , is to ask 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 _ture to follow . The Reform Bill merely caused a transfer of political power from the hands of one faction to _thoscjof 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 capitalist , and the policy of

      governments . Tbey 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 fall . Russell ' s genius was too childish and puerile to comprehend the effect that the admission of the 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 , ne was _notcnpableof understanding thathe was simultaneously sapping tlie interests ofthe poor , wbich were

      mainly based upon the prescriptive privilege of tbe 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 tbe effect upon the nation . I predicted for you that the rich market being opened , all speculators in the world would traffic in it . I showed you the proportion which the growers of food bore to the producers of artificial fabrics , aud 1 proved to you tbat the agricultural labourers should either starve or become paupers , or be competitors in the artificial market , and now mark the approximation to my

      predi ction ; wheat , which 1 tohlyou would sell for 30 s . a quarter , was last Saturday bought in Gloucester market for 52 s . a quarter , whereas nine 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 ofthe English agricultural labourers will be driven into the competitive artificial market , or must be supported by tlte farmers , and tlien , as I predicted , the pillars of the state , the yeomen of the state , the brawlers for church and king , will be transformed into the rebels of the stale ; aud Chartism ' s next greatest difficulty

      will be to suppress an agricultural revolution . Then the landlords wili 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 thc landlords become the greatest rebels . With their loss of power thoir 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 soundnes 8 , the judgment , the virtue , and the valour of Chartism , in explanation of which , and to conclude my letter , I will give you tbe following striking instance . I published thc fact recently , that a friend of mine had kindly presented my Non-Electors' Committee at Nottingham with £ 5 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 knew where to get it . It is too grand , too sublime , to offer a comment upon , it shall speak for itself : — Nottingham , August llth , 1847 .

      Dear Sib;—At a meeting of the general Committee of the Non-Electors of Nottingham , held at the sign of tho King of tbe French , on Tuesday , August 10 th , 1847 , it was unanimously resolved : — 'That we do most respectfully decline to accept the present of money to the Committee of the Non-Electors of Nottingham , made by your friend , and mentioned by yourself in thc last week's Northern Star . We consider we are amply repaid in the _never-to-be-forgotten , yet astounding fact , _thatwrnuvs cokqubbbb . ' I remain , yours , & c . On behalf of the Committeo , D . C . _Greoobj . Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., M . P .

      Read that , ye five pound hucksters of Conciliation Hall ; read that , ye drivelling Repeal candidates , who qualify yourselvps as representatives by the payment of five pounds to traffickers in their country ' s liberty . Gentlemen , who havo written and signed that letter , my thanks are but a poor tribute to offer to your patriotism ; your noble self-denial adds im measurably to the virtue of Chartism ; your virtuous devotion must cause sycophants to blush . Ever your faithful friend and uncompromising advocate , _Fkargus O'Connor .

In tho course of his address , he strongly recommended to Trades' Unionists , Friendly Societies , and other Cooperative Bodies , the propriety of investing their savings in the National Land and Labour Bank , proving to the satisfaction of all present , lthe superiority bothfov security and interest , of that institution to ary of the present banking establishments .

      at-THE NEWTON MEETING . Perhaps such a gathering as that assembled on 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 amusement , is unparalleled in the history of agitation . Thousands and tens of thousands of orderly and enthusiastic disciples of a persecuted cause , then assembled on a wild heath , desolate and unpeopled , save when the sports of the aristocracy lead to the congregation of thc idle . It is in truth a theme to dwell upon , a subject to reflect upon , when mighty masses come 20 , 30 , and 40 miles , to prove Iheir devotion to a cause which it was once treason to love , and death to defend . Sunday ,

      however , was a great day for England and Chartism , As special trains from Manchester , Liverpool , and Birmingham added their tributary streams to thc mountain gathering , every road was blocked with every description of conveyance , while for miles the footways were thronged with pedestrians—men and women—wending their way to the Chartist standard The heath was alive , and the only solitary thing in view was the stand-house , only open for gamblers , but closed against those who might have witnessed the cheering race of progression , wherein the several competitors were impelled by the whip of per . secution , and the spur of oppression . It was a glor _i ous sight—in the cabinet there was wisdom , in the field there was enthusiasm , As early as nine o ' clock , thirt delegates _^ presenting all the districts

      < , f _H i of South Lancashire , had assembled to arrange the prelirain «! rie » . AUl ,. Mr O'Connor- arrived from Lowbands ,-and was welcomed with a deafening cheer . At one , Mr Roberts , the chairmanj 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 . Daniel Donovan followed , proposing " The Charter and no Surrender , " as the first resolution , with a recommendation to hold a Chartist Convention , and be prepared with a Chartist petition to meet the next parliament , and made a powerful and impressive speech . Mr Candelet 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 ofthe best means of remedying the . grievances ofthe country ; and hia 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 Frost , Williams , and Jones , all of which were carried unanimously , and amid thunders of applause ; aud at five o ' clock the several streams returned to their several horncs to bear tbe country ' s

      resolution back to their several towns- ; We cannot be expected to furnish a more extensive report , while we cheerfully refer our readers tothe Manchester Times , whose reporter , during the whole time of the meeting , was actively engaged in taking notes ; all , hereforc , who are anxious to see a copious report , will purchase that paper , and as a return of favours , and as a sure means of enlisting the press in our behalf , we would recommend those lhat are able , to purchase an extra number of the Manchester Times , and send it to a friend . As far as we are concerned ,

      we are quite satisfied to divide our circulation , now becoming extensive , with our brethren of the press who have the manliness and the courage to be foremost in that cause , wbich the whole press of the country must ere long compete in , as it is folly to deny the fact tbat Chartism is becoming the fashion - able , the all absorbing ism of tbe day , ' thanks to the indomitable martyrs of 1839 , ' 40 , and ' 42 ,-whose courage was w etted by persecution . Onward and we conquer , backward and we fall ; The People ' s Charter and No Surrender ! We give the following account from tho Daily News : —

      Chartist Sunday Camp Mebtino .--TIio Chartists . of South Lancashire had a large _camp-mecting ori ! Sunday , on the common at _Newton-in-MakcrficW , _s sometimes called Newton-in-the-Willows , half-waybetween Manchester and Liverpool , being about sixteen miles from each of those towns , and also nearly eaui-distant from the smaller townB of Wi gan and Warrington ; the former being about seven miles , and the latter six miles distant . The object of the meeting was to meet Mr O'Connor , and congratulate him on his return for Nottingham , and to discuss the Land and Labour question . Tho outdoor demonstration was preceded by a meeting o f delegates from Chester , Liverpool , Stockport , _Stalj-brid . ce ,

      Hyde , Bowden , Rochdale , St Helen ' s , Astley , Ecoles , Hindley , Prescott , Bolton , Heywood , Lcigh _. _OJdham , Bury , Wigan , Warrington , and Chester . At thisprelimary meeting , held at the White Swan Inn , Mr O'Connor was present , and tbe principal subject discussed was a recommendation from the Liverpool Chartists to appoint an executive , for the purpose of hiring lecturers and issuing cheap publications illustrative ot their principles , The question was adjourned to a future meeting , on the ground that many of the delegates had not authority from their constituents to vote either for or against the proposition , notice of its proposal not having been given thera . Tho public meeting on the common , or race-course ,

      took place about half-past one o'clock , thc speakers being _acoomtnodated with standing room on some carts drawn together . The number of men assembled on the spot was between six and eight thousand ; and it may bo considered a largo gathering , when it is taken into account that the immediate neighbourhood , for four or five miles in every direction is very thinly populated . There is but one cheap or third class train from Manchester , and only one from Liverpool , on Sunday morning , and each of the trains had brought about six or eight hundred persons .

      People from other distant towns had come in carts and ether vehicles , and it was statodthat there were men who had walked as many as thirty miles to ba present . A good sprinkling of women mixed with the company before tbe meeting , and from thc groups scattered about the common before the business commenced , partaking of refreshments and enjoying themselves by strolling across the country in all directions , itwasevidont tbat many of them had como as gipsy or _pic-nic parties , to mingle pleasure as much as possible with business .

      Mr W . P . Roberts , attorney , of Manchester , was called to the chair , and opened the meeting , after which Mr Daniel Dosovan proposed a resolution , pledg . ing tho parties present to continue tho agitation of the Peoplo ' s Charter until it should become the law of the 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 seat in Parliament , to escort him to tha houso , and to lend theft assistance to the getting up of a national petition in favour of tho Charter , to be presented by him .

      The motion having been seconded , Mr 0 'Cosnor addressed tho assemblage in support of it . He 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 tho old votaries of Chartism to find that , alter ten years of slander , misrepresentation , and persecution , the principle was not , aa they had often hoard it stated to be , defunct ; but h _» . d such vitality as to draw together the splendid gathering he saw before him—induoing men out of their pure love to it to come many miles , ahdto give up their only day of rest out of the seven , to bo present . They had been asked by Tories , Whigs , and Free-traders to give a

      proof of their progress . That could only be done by contrast , and he called upon those preflcnt to contrast their present position with thoir past—to contrast the fact of their having 65 delegates from all parts of the country assembled in tbe county of Worcester , upon the peoples ' - own estate , in thoir own building , with the circumstances under which they formerly , met . Look at tho contrast of tho present occasion , wben thoy were met with tbo sanction of the magis- ; trates _, and compare it with old times * Whop magistrates and authorities everywhere _(^ posed ' _lhemcompare their _| progress with that of WhiggerF—Whig- _, gery fairly presented to them , and not behind fhc , treasury benches . Ho pointed them to the time when

      the only representative of Chartism in parliament was Mv _Duncombo ; and now . in addition to the returns in thoir favour at the Iato eleotion , he would ask them to take additional courage from the state of the polls at Sheffield , Wigan , Aberdeen , Tiverton , and Blackburn , at all of whioh places tliey had candidates on _thehustinas . _Whiggism , on the contrary , wns progressing backwards , in spite of the Reform Bill , by which it was sought to place in the House of Commons a few Tories , many Whigs , but no Radicals or Chartists ; and their real strength in the House of Commons , with the powers of the government at tbeir hack , was only 230 ; for he called upon

      their friends to be cautious how they believed in thc returns of majorities made by the newspapers , where he , and Mr Duneombe , and Colonel Thompson , and others holding opinions equally far in advance of them , were put down as feathers in the tail of Whiggery . Mr O'Connor went on to speak of their two estates at O'Connorville and Lowbands , and said he was going to Oxford tbo following day to hy thc foundation for another . He said thc Chartists had altogether subscribed a sum of between £ 70 , 000 and £ 80 , 000 to bo invested in tbis way , and gave a llattcring account of the position of the settlers on these _newesfatci .

      Mr E . Jokes , of Liverpool , moved the second resolution , wiiich was to the effect that it was thc duty of government so to legislate as to enable the toiling masses to protect themselves trom want , the best way of doing which was to give them aoccss to the hnd , and calling upon government to make this a cabinet question . Mr T . Jones seconded the motion , A resolution pledging the meeting to support tbe Chartist Executive in restoring Frost , Williams , and Jones having been agreed to , both thc previous ones were unanimously approved of , and the meeting separated .

      Holytown Miners. The Social Condition Of...

      HOLYTOWN MINERS . The social condition of these men is becoming worse daily , not through their own imprudence or want of foresight , not through their early or improvident marriages , but by the cruel acts of capitalists . They may be told thatit is the effects of combination ; that they could , if they were disposed , earn more money by harder or more incessant labour ; but would they be enabled to maintain the principle of a ' fair day ' s wane for > fair day ' s work Y Should one out of three be deprived of work , simply because the other two determined to , do their share of thc labour . We know that this doctrine is held out ; that it is being widely disseminated among the higher classes of society ; that the colliers in Lanarkshire

      will not work more than a certain number of hours per day . Mr Seymour Treraenheere _. the government mining commissioner , says upon tho foreign trade of Lanarkshire , 'That there are large orders in Glasgow for pig iron fur Germany and elsewhere , if it could be shipped at 60 s . to 65 s . per ton . This price would afford a fair profit to the iron-master , and a fair rate of wages to the collier and iron stone miner , enabling them to cam from 3 s . Od . to 4 % . per day , by ten hours reasonable _labour . But bj their combination they have so raised the price to the ironmaster of the raw material , tbat he is obliged to demand 70 s . to Ih . for the irou that ho ought to be able to produce for 00 « . to C 5 s . ' In this not a word ii

      written about tbo profits of the master miner , or that of tho ironmaster ; but a reduction is necessary to . meet the Germans , and that reduction must be made from the wages of the workmen and not from the raw material , or , in other words , from the profits of the dealer . This high price is occasioned , says this worthy functionary , by the effects of combination among the men , and to enablo us to sell , th ' combination must be destroyed—the men coerced —and Jess wages paid . Mr Murray , one ofthe proprietors ofthe Monkland ironworks , says , 'I bare been engaged in the iron and coal trade since 1808 . We now employ at

      our works about throe thousand people . From tbo time I first knew colliers they havo always been in tho habit of restricting themselves in their labour . In _con-oquence of this restriction of labour we are obliged to keep one third more men in our employ , and consequently build one third moro houses , to sink one third more pits , with engines , railways , horses , engine-men and drivers , and all the other incidental expenses _belonging to Urn _addition to ourfixed costs . All this _operates most injuriously against us , both in our foreign and homo trade , io competing with other producers at home and abroad , who have the _benofit of free labour . '

      How sore these capitalist ? feel on the question of free labour , and combination of workmen . How sensitive they are ofthe rights of capital , the injury good wages , docs to the community , and the great loss it is to the nation . Restriction of labour ! how cruel ! how oppressive ! How painful it must be to a well-regulated und Christian mind , that men should combine to livethat they should say , 'Hove my neighbour asmysell , and he shall partake ofthe half of what I have . I will not absorb all tbo labour , I will not be a real slave . My brother man shall be a partaker . ' This is not just , yo miners . lou ought to work , to starve , to accumulate riches for others , and be content—because your master says two might live , if ho

      would consent to starve the third . Surely Mr Murray must be a Christian—he must be liberal—very liberal—he wants you to be free , free to walk and starve . He is one of thoso 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 Short Time . Mr Murray is compelled to employ one-third mora mon , one-third more of everything , because the men combine to work only a certain number of hours per day . He would like to see the two at work , and tho third ask him for work at something lesB—that wonld he free labour . Mr Murray has no desire _yeu should compel him to give Is . per lb . for meat , or 2 s . 6 d . for bre _« d , hut lie

      has a desire you should not have more than he pleases tor 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 of the employers , simply on the question of wages _. but it involves a far deeper principle—the principle of liberty —the principle of commencing labour wben you please , and ceasing when it is necessary . The specious plea ot the evil effects of combination on the price of the commodity , isa pretext for the basest tyranny _. and the destruction of one man assisting another in cases of . difficulty . The principle of

      _self-protectionis inherent in man—and _asold as tho hillsa _principle which all the sophistty of political economist , cannot obliterate or destroy . It stands firm as the rocks , and wili prove as" durable as time . It is a principle whicii tho capitalist uphold to himself as the means of adding more riches to his wealth . Working men ofthe United Kingdom , shall this principle be checked among the miners , through your apathy or indifference ? We appe > . l to you on behalf of suffering humanity , on behalf of a noble , though impetuous , people . On behalf of men who havo been driven to the verge of despair and death . Men whose only crime iathat they desire to live by

      , the sweat of their brows , who desire to raiso their children in comfort , and maintain their homes with decency—who desire to instruct their offspring in that which is just between man aud man . Men who revere their rights mid privileges , and respect the property of others . Men who desire to follow out the noble maxim , ' Do unto others , as ye would tbey should do unto you . ' Can you , after their case has boen duly considered , withhold your assistance ? Show some mercy—as Shakespeare says _.- — It droppeth like the gentle dew from heaven It _bicsseth him that giveth _, And him that doth receive .

      We entreat you , on behalt of the suffering babes , to assist them . Again , we say , let prejudice and illwill be buried . All men should rush to the rescue , and assist these bravo men , who avo lying in ' the camp of refuge . ' lou must all prove ' Lords of Brun , ' by labouring night and day in the good cause of freedom and charity to all men .

      • THE EMPLOYMENT ASSOCIATION . This useiul association is gradually moving along in unionism with thc one for the protection oflabour . Ita duties are of a , highly important ebaracter . rf he manul ' actaring of goods , viz , tin plate goods , shoes , stockings , gloves , socks , serge , shirting , table-cloths , nails , & c . It is now virtually governed by the same body as the Protective Association , among whom ore practicable men , and under whose management we trust it will flourish . This mode of doing business is the best way of all , bocause in trades' strikes the money is better applied tban _givingit to the men to walk about in idleness , let it , will have some

      difficulties to encounter , and especially in times liko tho present , when the money markets are flat , trade at a standstill , tho _warehouses glutted with goods , thc peoplo without tiie means of buying , and the dearness of provisions , During those times the men employed will have to suffer inconveniences with respect to employment , in tho same ratio as those under manufacturers ; hut not in the shape ot less wages for a given quantity of work . A move is being made by some of the buyersto bringdown wages in the shape of demanding extra lengths , such as thirty-seven inches to the yard , or nineteen to tbe half yard . This must be met with firmness on the part of the men , but reason miist be the guide .

      There is one question respecting the manufacture and fale of goods , which must ere long be laid before the public , and that is the general depreciation in quality , hence the depreciation in value . This system must be shown to the public , before they can duly appreciate the intrinsic value of the commodity they purchase . Thousands of yards of doth , and dozens of hosiery , are _. likcthc Jew'srazors , made to sell , it is not the case with the goods made at the establishment in Tottenham-court-road ; but they are made by men who understand the nature of their business , and can distinguish between bad and good .

      Tho men employed are persons who have either been discharged for advocating the rights of labour , victims to the debasing system ol low wages , or lor carrying out thc laws of the country against masters who were determined to pay their men in goods rather than cash . Tl ? e question ol spurious manufacture , the self-employment , fair wage ? , and a variety of other important matters , _connected with this Association , will he considered at no distant period . The committee of the above Association met , ' as usual , during the wcok , for dispatch of business . Letters were read from Preston , G ! as « _sw , Greenock , Paisley , Holytown , Tillicoultry .

Air Baker , the general secretary of that body , hasbeen authorised to proceed to that county to inquire into the grievances , and _ssttle tho disputes if possibla .

      Mr Humphries attended a meeting of the crate maker * ot Longton , who were on strike against the masters , for an equalization of wages , and we are happy to say , that the whole affair in Long _t on has been very peaceably and amicably settled . The power of the National _Asfoclation has been gloriously manifested , and another proof given of its Immense' moral power . ' Tbe advantages to tbo men will be great , the advance secured being from 8 s , to 10 s . per week . On Wednesday _oreninj-, he attended a meeting of the crate maUerB j they were quite elated with their _eucceaa , and had the fullest confidence that their object through _, out the Potteries _pould be accomplished , and ( he crate makers once moro elevated to a proper standard among the sons of toil .

      Lbek . On Thursday evening , Mr H . attended a public meeting ofthe silk twisters of that town , The meetingwns one of the most crowded and enthusiastic that has betn held in Leek for some time , Tbe speaker oa rising stated tho objectof his mission , and proceeded to show the necessity for a strong and national union . Ha showed its rUe and progress , tho principle upon whioh it waa conducted , that they repudiated the old wornout system of strikes and turn-outs j and endeavoured to obviate them whenever practicable , by sotting the men to useful and re-productive employment . The speaker shewed at one view tho profit that would accrue to tbe _NationaljABSOciation from the manufacture and sale of goode , and demonstrated its practicability , when taken , up with spirit and energy by the woiking classes . He resumed his seat amid loud and long-continued ap . plause .

      Mr James Grafton , of Letlc , in a very warm and animated address , earnestly exhorted the silk twisters , pickera , and wearers to join the National Association , as the only just and rational method to redeem tbe trades of Leek from tho blighting hand of tyranny _. On Friday , he returned to the Potteries , to ascertain the nature of tho crate makers' strike , and found all going on in the right direction . On Saturday he again proceeded to Leek , to hold a second meeting of tbe trades . The meeting was larger nnd moro enthusiastic than the first . Mr Grattou wa » cailed to the chair , and after a few appropriate remaiks , introduced Mr II ., who , Jn a lucid _spetcb , set forth tho claims of the Natioual Association upon iho tradeB of _Li-ek , showed its adaptation to meet tha wants and to

      secure the objects of surh a trade , and that tbe only wise and rational plan was tojoin the National Association . It would enable them to resist effectually the attacks of capitalists , and place them in a position to better their circumstances . lie also directed their at . tention to the case of tbo Holytown miners , and very feelingly described the unprecedented and cruel treatment practised upon the poor miners by their . 'hearties * tyrants ! That in ejecting the miners , their wives and . children , they had adopted a course whieh would excite the indignation and execration of every well * \ vi 9 _her to the cause of Labour . A strong feeling on

      behalf of the ejected miners was elicited , aad tho committee havo agreed to canvass the town to obtain support for thc poor colliers . Let this course be adopted throughout the kingdom , and the Holytown miners will be rescued from the cruel grasp of base and _heartlesi tyranny . The Aberdeen trades have devised the following plan to raiso means for the Holytown miners : —i ' That the town he divided into _districts , and all members act as collectors in their respective districts , until the strike is finished , audfor the better carrying out tbe intention of the Central Committee , it was proposed that an appeal be sent to every trade and manufactory in the town .
