Election Movements. (Continued From The ...
ELECTION MOVEMENTS . ( Continued from the First page . ) the fellow doesn ' t know a dose of rhubarb from a doge of Epsom salts . ( Much laugbter . ) _JAfter giving the wouldbe opponent a sound thrashing and showing tbatthe motive for his coming forward at all was to damage bim ( Mr Wakley ) for his conduct at tbe Hounslow flogging case , when man ' s flesh was torn from his back and was murdered under the superintendence of a surgeon named Warren . The labouring people of tbis country ought to be eased from taxation . ( Cheers . ) _Thepressure -if the national burdens shonld be taken off tliem , and placed on tbe shoulders of the wealthy . ( Cheers . ) ' The income-tax ought to be _aboUshed _. bat tbe property-tax should be fastened on property to the end of time- ( Hear , hear . ) Property , by right , should be made to maintain
ill eur state institutions , and industry should have the 1 advantage . ( Cheers . ) The tax on tea , the taxes on alt the necessaries of life , should be removed . [ A Voice"And the window-tax . " ] The window-tar , too ; that is an atrocious tar , bad in ereiy way , destructive of health , ¦ » nd . like all other taxes , pressing on the industrial portion ¦ if the community ; it should be abolished at once . ( Cheers . ) Tben the malt tax and the tax on sugar ougbt to be done away with as far as _possible , and tbe property of the kingdom should be called on to make compensation to the revenue . ( Hear , hear . ) We are abont 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 . Russell and other
candidates , and I hope lhat the new House of Commons will distinguish itself more tban tbe lastfer Radical character and proceedings . ( H « ar , hear . ) The last has lone , 1 allow , much good ; its successor , it Is to be hoped wiil do more . ( _Uear , hear . ) It is yet marvellous to 8 ee she carelessness and indifference of electors in many parts of the kingdom , and tbe ease with wbicb , in consequence , boroughs , _though under the Reform Act , are bought and sold . Tbe constituencies should rouse themselves on tbis subject . Members representing places like Finsbury often and tbeir exertions neutralized in tbe House of Commons by the purchasers of some rotten boroughs . And , unless tbe metropolitan constituencies declare themselves on this point , 1 fear things will remain as tbey are , So lODg as boroughs arepurch neable , the people cannot be faith * ;
fully represented . Faithful representation will never be seen until the franchise is extended . ( Cheers : ) I bave always beld tbat taxation and representation should go together . ( Cheers . ) i f 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 tbe late atrocious Bishops' Bill , and concluded by saying : My opinions on all the leading questions of our time are unchanged . I commenced political life as a Radical Reformer ; as a Radical Reformer I stand before yon now ; and so long as I bave 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 lairs . I wiib to see Englaad , Ireland , and Scotland , governed exactly alike ; I wish to see tbe poorest and humblest men in tbe possession of the same civil and religions liberty as the richest and most exalted , ( Cheers . ) But be assured tbat until the pocket boroughs disappear such ¦ '
a liberty will never exist . ( Hear . ) At the present moment our efforts are tbtrarted by men who hare no influeuce with the public at large , but who bave secured the r ight of voting , and who can make their presence felt in a division list . Having said so much , I have only , for my colleague and myself , to return our grateful thanks for this additional honour yon have conferred on u . When you call our conduct in question , we will appear before you , and , if we do not satisfy you , we will readily resign the trust yon now place in onr hands . That will be our duty , and I beg of you to pursue the same course as of old in politics , to resolve never to be content while an abase remains . ( Hear , bear . ) Never mind what hard names they may call you ; let tbem traduce and vilify you as they please . Be satisfied that in working for the accomplishment of pnblic benefit you are struggling for your own rights and privileges , promoting tbe sacred cause of civil and reli gious liberty , and laying tbe foundation for the welfare of all classes of our fellow-J 1 « < ' i
citizens . ( Tbe hon . gentleman , as be retired from the front of tbe hustings , was loudly applauded . ) Mr J . Abmbtiosc , the chairman of Ur Duncombe _' s committee , then came forward and returned thanks for that gentleman . Mr Wmiet proposed a vote of thanks to the returning officer , and thanked bim for fixing the election so early , as it had given tbe electors of Finsbury an opportunity _ofgivingaradicalbeglnnUigtothenewparliament which be hoped would be radical in its beginning , its middle , aud its end .

"Brother Electors , " when the beer and the tobacco proved too much for bim , and be fell to bis " mother earth . " In tbo meantime Mr Charles Cochrane left his committee-room , at the Crown and Anchor , in tbe Strand , in great state .. There were flags and ropetted _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 , ' 'TheQueen , the Ladies , and Cochrane for Westminster , ' Ac . Union-jacks and pictures of the national flag were tbere in dozens . Mr Cochrane , seated in a carriage and four , paraded round tbe marliet twice or thrice , each time stopping opposite Evans ' s , the balcony of which was filled with ladies , for tbe _purpose of greeting them . At twelve o ' clock tbe crowd was immense—not less tban 6 . 000 or 8 000 were present .
Sir De Lacy Evans and Hr Charles Lushington first appeared on the hustings , and were greeted witb the most enthusiastic cheering . Mr Charles Cochrane ' s appearance immediately after was the signal for loud cheers , and , if possible , loader groans and hisses , wbich were _kspt up for a considerable time . Lord _Mandevijle , who with bis friends took his place to tbe right of the platform , is a young man , about five and twenty . He was unknown by the mob , and probably forgotten by them , for neither cheers nor hisses announced his advent on the hustings , so far -as the mob was concerned , although his friends brought bim np witb a warm salute enough .
Dr Bainbridge propostd , and MrH . Ellis seconded , General Evans . —Mr Murrough moved , and Mr flatlet seconded , Mr C . Cochrane . —Mr H . G . Robinson moved , Mr C . Lushington , and was seconded by Mr Prout , who made a violent attack on Mr Cochrane , and accused bim of bribery , as well as of having been the means , through his excessive vanity , of introducing a Tory ; be knew that hebadnotthe shadow of a chance of his own election , and that tbe only effect of the course he was pursuing was to make himself a tool in the bands of the Tories . Mr Letsom Elliott proposed Lord Mandeville , who was seconded by Lord Sandon , and tbe several candidates having addressed tbe assembly , the High Bailiff took a show of hands , which be declared bad fallen on Mr Cochrane and Bir De Lacy Evans . A poll was demanded on behalf of the other candidates and appointed for Thursday .
ANDOYEB . The nomination of candidates for this b _3 rough took place on Wednesday , on a hustings erected in from ofthe Town-hall . The proceeding occupied firo hours , principally caused by __ the uproarious conduct of a large posse of " navvies , " wbo were marshalled in procession under the Tory colours . The candidates were Mr Goles , of Longparish , and Mr Cubitt , the eminent builder of London , ( Conservatives ); tbe lion . J . N . Fellows , and Mr Chaloner Smith , ( Liberals ) .

In the course of bis address , Mr Ciayton defended the constituency on his conduct in opposing the Free-Trade measures of Sir R . Peel , and especially dwelt upon the support which he tendered to Maynootb . Mr J . P . Deering , the No-popery and Conservative candidate , was put in nomination by John Franklin , Esq ., and Mr
Hayward . Ilis speech was scarcely heard , and his _reception and appearance were very far from _being flattering . Lord Nugent was proposed by Sir George Stephen and Mr Dell . Sir George made a . long speech in defence of civil and religious liberty . Lord Nugent , iu addressing the electors , declared that he would never support the endowment by the State of any church ; a statement which was received with the most rapturous _applause . On a show of hands , the High Constable declared it to be in favour of Lord Nugent snd Mr Clayton .

Trendell , Esq ., late mayor , seconded the nomination . Gabriel Davis , Esq ., nominated , and Dr _Tonikins seconded , the nomination of General Caulfeild . Sir F . Thesiger , after criticising the pretensions of General Caulfeild to repre sent Abingdon , defended the policy of Sir R . Peel ' s government , of which he was a member , and contrasted the crippled state of the 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 . SirF . Thesiger demanded a poll , which was fixed to take place on Thursday .
BATH . The nomination of candidates to represent this city in parliament took place on Wednesday . 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 few minutes before 11 o ' clock Lord Duncan and Mr Roebuck , accompanied by a large body oi their supporters , arrived at tbe hustings , and were soon afterwards followed by Lord Ashley and his friends . Lord Ashley then advanced to tbe 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 wbo witnessed it , with a formal bow , and saying— " Excuse me , Yd rather not , " politely declined the proffered honour .
Considerable opposition wasofferedto Lord Ashley . In the course of his speech he said Mr Roebuck had appealed to him whether he had ever shrunk from fearlessly stating his opinions in the House of Commons . He ( Lord Ashley ) most willingly bore his testimony that he had never known the hon . and _^ earned gentleman to do so ; and the only fault he fonnd with him -was , that he stated his opinions rather unpleasantly . ( A laugh . ) He would admit tbat the hon . and learned gentleman had ever been remarkably bold and straightforward in the declaration ol his principles , and in one or two instances in which be had co-operated with the hon . and learned gentleman , he did act like a man who had honesty and boldness in his heart . ( Hear *) The hon . and learned gentleman said he could state the reason why he declined to take his hand . He had statod the fact , but he forgot to assign the reason .
Mr Roebuck , ( holding up a placard ) said that the friends of the nible lord had accused him , from one end of the town to the other of being , of being an infidel , and opposed in every maxim and in every way to the sacred doctrines of religion , ile must suppose the noble lord to be cognizant of that , but he had done nothing to give the lie to tbat foul and cowrdly calumny . ( Cheers . ) Lord Ashley couid assnre the honourable and learned gentlemen that he was ignorant of the existence of the placard until late on the previous evening , and that , as he bad not been able to canvass personally , his friends hnd canvassed for him ; but he was not crying out of what they had stated , and could not , therefore , receive the statements of the
honourable and learned gentleman with readiness , unless what was so charged was proved . He did not want to parade his _services , bnt if any service he had rendered were altogether denied , he was justified in setting himself right before that assembly . Tbe gallant officer who proposed his noble opponent , said the Factory Bill was carried while he ( Lord Ashley ) was ont of Parliament , and that the bill was Mr Sadler ' s . That waa true , but it was not the whole truth . Mr Sadler introduced the bill , and he lost bis seat in 1832 . He ( L < : rd Ashley ) was elected in 1833 . and took the bill in charge and so kept it for thirteen years , and when he left Parliament , he confided it to Mr Fielden , by whom it was carried to complete _success . 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 had referred to the window-tax . When the noble lord brought forward his motion , he ( Lord Ashley ) heartily encouraged him to go on with it , and said he thought the window-tax was one ofthe most injurious , and that it ought to be repealed as soon as the public revenue would bear the removal ofthe impost . ( Hear , hear . ) It was true that he had devoted himself to social questions affecting the condition of the working people , and , should he be returned to Parliament , it w » a his determination to continue to devote himself to them . ( Cheers . ) He would not fatigue them any longer , but if be 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 , was tbe true colour .
( Laughter- ) ... . A show of hands was then taken , and was immensely in favour of Roebuck and Duncan . A poll was demanded on the part of Lord Ashley . . BRIDGENORTH . The _nottination for this borough took place on Wednesday in the Town-hall . Mr T . C . Whitmore was proposed by Mr Wolryche W . Wbitmore , of _Dudmaston , and seconded by Mr W . Thursfield , sureeon , of Bridgenortb . Mr J . Easthone wag proposed by Mr Joshua Sun . and seconded by Mr J . Sroalman ; and Sir R . _Ptfiot _™» _proposed by Mr T . W . Brown , and _seconded . by Mr At the conclusion ofthe proposals , the candidates severally proceeded to address the electors .

"Union For The Mimon." Frlends,~We Feel ...
"Union for the MiMon . " _FRlENDS , ~ We feel called upon this week to direct your attention to the increasing claims upon the funds of the Association , hoping that those trades who are in arrears will exert themselves to pay up their back levies , and invest thc Central Committee with the necessary power and means to carry ont the objects of the Association te the fullest extent .
Before entering upon this subject we think it desirable 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 anticipates acquiring by becoming members of tbis 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 influence depends . Let us endeavour to understand
what it is that confers 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 . Upon what , therefore , we ask again , does an accession ef 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 proportion shall we 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 thc path of dutv . 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 attain ment and preservation of the rights of labour , and their power will increase with the 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 be constant and persevering in his labours , firm to his principles , and punctual in his contributions j 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 and 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 thc executive to encounter with courage and energy the attacks of 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 overturn and crush for ever claims to an equitable remuneration tor the labour they perform . Then , _fellow-Iabourers , to your posts like men ; 1 st each individual member determine to do his duty ; let each resolve that the good work of emancipation _Nhall not be obstructed by any negligence , or want of devotedness on his part . And when every one fays his shoulder to the wheel , and endeavours to help forward the great movement for the amelioration of the physical condition and spcial redemption of the toiling millions , the work will be comparatively easy ; our progression would be without a precedent , while our efforts would be attended with unmixed and complete success .
The tune for this individuality of action , this constant and uninterrupted exertion , and cheerful responses , and punctual observance to the pecuniary claims of the Association lias come . The extensive demands of the various trades upon the limds of the Union render it essential " that every man should do his duty . " The strong ran-t nut delay to exert hii strength to aid and deliver the weak , and by organising and 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 tampeiiug with the right > 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 anil 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 lo the welfare of the combination , how can it be expected tliat the Centra ! Committee can make the Association as efficient as it is intended to be ? The amount of means invested in the hands of the executive must ever determine the nature and extent of their operations . For every one must be aware , tbat if the available means of the Association are not commensurate with the objects and demands , the Central Committee cannot make up the de- J ficiency .
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 be required for the maintainance of such measures for the protection 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 tlie 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 _ra'ly ! Let I hose trades'in arrears exert themselves to the utmost to become clear on the hooks . Let each individual sav to
himself , " I will pay up my back levies , and resolve , in future , never to miss a single levy imposed upon me for the protection of industry . " Let every one who has suffered his payments to run back , only _resolveto do this , and you will act nobly and wisely , and set an example worthy of imitation ; and at the same time , you will gWe a determined proof of yonr moral power , and intention to resist the aggressions of capitalists upon the rights of industry . The working classes have it in their power , if they would onlv decide to exercise that power , to put oppression ' to open shame , and cause tyranny and injustice to shrink back in disgrace , and fix a _pcnoil to all evil deeds and foul misdoings , practised without a blush , and as a matter of right , upon the industrious classes .
Indeed , if it had not been for the apathy of the working class , the greater portion of the wrongs and privations they are now compelled to endure would not iiave been imposed upon them . Tliey have often calmly and passively suffered their rights and priveleges 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 happiness and independence they have , in their indifference and carelessness , suffered to be wrenched from tbem .
I _, et those who are for bettering their condition immediately determine to become members of the National Association ; and if the times are so hard that you can scarcely pay your levies , resolve to make a sacrifice . Let us dispense with half-a-pint of beer per week , rattier than suffer ourselves to run back in our 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 be thrown into one commou 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 lie able to cast off the shackels and trammels that fetter and obstruct our onward march to liberty . We feel satisfied if thc 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 exercise 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 of every thing convenient and essential to human sustenance , especially when they possess in union and 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 mags appears indifferent to know their power , A
"Union For The Mimon." Frlends,~We Feel ...
spirit of lethargy and _supincness characterizes _theii general demeanour ; and ' a feeling ' of destructive contentment lulls them into inactivity and heedlessness , while the 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 hi ghest interest , and their family's welfare .
To those who have risen to a sense of duty wa say , give your indolent and careless neighbours no rest tillyou bring tliem into the field of labour and co-operation . Let every member of the National Association determine to bring another with hjm , and then we shall swell in numerical strength , augment our pecuniary resources , and with that we shall be able to command a greater amount of moral power and influence , to the terror of evil-doers and to the 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 the kingdom , and adhesions from the ladies' shoemakers of London , the _West-end division , Maidstone shoemakers , Nottiugham bleachers and trimmers , Bradford shoemakers , Lynn white-smiths , Wynnlaton horse-nail-makers , Glasgow mule , workers , Stockport dyers and cotton-yarn dressers , Bnthven calico printers , _Stourport 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 . _Accord-ngly therefore to instructions _. be waited upon tbe small-ware weavers of Birmingham , in the employ of Mr Carpenter ; he found that gentleman had offered a reduction of ls . 6 d . per piece upon an article 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 Mpssrs Smith and Co , and their hands now on strike , nearly 200 in number , Mr W . waited upon that _^« _i / , whoreceived him very courteously , but complained very much of the bad conduct of his meti , upon whicii Mr Williamson made 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 endeavonrcd to effeet his object by making a little concession on the part of the men , believing that by this means he should have been able to 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 . Mr Smith still clings , therefore , to paying his men the lowest price paid in the town of Manchester , and of course the pickers and weavers are still determined to stick together and contest the rights of their labour .
SKELMATmillOP .-On Thursday evening Mr Peel att ; iidtd a meeting of the fancy weavers ofthis town , for the purpuse of explaining the objects of the National Association , when about 500 were present , apparently all very anxious to know the mode of operation pursued by the central committee . Mr Elliott of Barnsley was called tothe chair , who , after very briefly explaining the object of thHr meeting together , introduced Mr Peel from London , who . on rising , commenced to show the manner in which the
National Association was conducted , the objects it proposed to accomplish , and the certainty of success that would attend their operations . At the close of hio lecture , a vote of thanks to the speaker was carried—also three cheers to T . S . Duneombe , Esq ., F . O'Connor , Esq ., and the Northern star , forthe man * ner in which , the rights of the working classes were _advocdlcd through the medium of its columns . A number of new members were enrolled , and the meeting broke up highly satisfied with the National Association .
