      ( Qm&ttteifni * the 6 th page . ) jnv ' toisse etery ttaesns ir&eir poyer to cause the ^ 1 repeal of Hot infemai law which must for ever disgrace the men who passed it and the people who This resolntiDn . was . seconded . "b y Mr . Archibald keig hton , who also delivered a short address to the meeting , principally relating to the New Poor Law , and the necessity of having TJniTereal Snffrage , in order to hare that and all other ohnoxionslaws repealed . This resolution was ' fupported by Mt . PeteT Bnssey in ^ an ^ xceBent speech , which was well received hy the meeting , aad did great eredit to that ionest , thoughtful , and unflinching Radical . When Mr . Bussey iadconchided Ms address , Mr . James BedfordmoTed , and Mr . Joseph WaterhoBse seconded a resolution ^ elatire to the Great Northern TJnion , which was as under : —

      « That ' in order to obtain these desirahle objects , it is necessary that the productive classes form themselres into one general body , to be called the Great Northern Union , and that this meeting pledges itself to form part of that Union . " Mr . Ready then moved &e adoption of the Birmingham petition , which he read , and -which , when putio the vote of the meeting , as a nt petition to be sent to Parliament to represent their wants , was carried unanimously , as were all the other resolutions . ¦ ___ .. "

      A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman , after which the meeting separated , having been engaged nearly three hours , . during the greater part of which time it rained excessively , and towards the Jitter part was attended -with a terrible thunderstorm . The people , however , seemed impervious , and stood together till the last , alike indifferent to wind and rain , thunder and lightning ; and after the Ij-nsniess -was over , qtdefly dispersed , holding themselves in readiness for a second muster at night . The parries who had tickets for the dinner , then repaired respectively to the Temperance Hotel and the Radical Association Room , at each of which places excellent and substantial dinners were served up , which did great credit to the parties who provided them .

      MEETING IN THE EVENING . At half-past six o ' clock the bands again took the lead—again the banners " floated in the breeze , " and the people were in motion towards the Primitive JJetbodist Chapel which was filled in a few seconds , and hundreds went away who could not gain adjairtance . Mr . James Bedford was unanimously called to ¦ fiie chair . He said without preface he should propose as a toast " The people , the only source of legitimate power . " Received with loud cheers . He should call upon

      Mr . . Peter BrssET to respond to the toast . Mr . Bussey said that in speaking of the people , he would not be understood to refer exclusively to that portion of the people consumting society in . Britain whom Lord Brougham designated "The people / ' In a long speech on the Refsrm B 31 he said ~ 1 now come to speak of the people not the mob , but the respectable £ 10 renters ; " so that his Lordship went to say thai the people were the £ 10 renters , and that such as compoi-e that meeting were the rabble and the populace . ( Hear , hear . ) It was however "this mob that constituted the people , and it was from this people that flowed all the wealth which every other , class of society enjoyed . ( Hear , hear . ) How would all

      classes above this mob support themselves if they were once separated from the people ? If the people had no money to spend upon them they might keen th ' _ -ir shops open from ^ Monday morning t ill Saturday night without profit . ( Hear , hear . ) On this ground . then , tie people weie the sourse . of all po-xer and profit to the middle classes . If they went to tae manufacturer , ail hi * raw material and his machinery into the bargain would profit him v « y Hole without spinners , weavers , and others to make it into really useful clothing ; and sdll less conld he do without the agricultural labourer to procure

      lim his food . ( Hear , hear . ) They might go to the aristocracy and they would tind that each and ail were entirely dependent upon the people ; that they . are , therefore , the source of all prefix and enjoyment to every class placed above them was a fact which no one could for a moment doubt . ( Cheers . ) It was the people Trho cr-mposed the army and the navy , and every post of the national defence both internal arid external . ( Hear . ) Yes , it was from the toil-worn artizan that travelled leaner than fleshless miserv to Ids laixHxr . ami whom the hisher and mid die classes

      Heat with contempt and scorn , it "was from these that they received all their comforts . This was a very shockine state of things that the only usefol portion of the community should be loeked upon ¦ with contempt by those wbo luxuriate in the productions of the very men whom they despise . ( Cheers . ) But so it was ; the people of this country —the working classes—had always been running to co the work of others rather than their own . fHear . ] They had always been running at the bid of the great and wealthy and the noble—or the falsely » called . [ Cheer > . ] It mattered not whether at home or abroad , or war or in peace , they had always been prepared to be at the bid of those men who

      f&ttpn on the industry and the labours of their fellow-men . [ Hear , hear . j What then was more natural than that the people who contributed so Each . \ o the comforts of others should have a share of that legislative protection which others equally possessed : [ HearTJ He observed as lie passed through Keighley , that there were flags and banners JiaTifin y oat at the doors of different houses , itjdicaoDsr that certain societies were holding their anniversaries . Now the members of these societies touM think it very strange if any one portion of them , say ten out of a hundred , were determined , without tie consent of their fellows to make all laws for the government of the society . The course such

      members would take would be immediately to withdraw irom such society , unles 3 they could have some power over the laws . ( Hear . ) ' This was a natural conclusion . ( Hear , hear . ) The national society then ¥ a < only one of a larger scale . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) The principles were precisely the same , — the individuals ; who were to govern ought to be chosen by the body of the people—not Brougham ' s people—< laughter >—but the whole people , who ongiit to have a yoice in making laws in the House of Commons . The cases were precisely analogous , 2 nd if all parties would consider the two together ^ they would at once admit the justice of the productive

      portion of the community having a share in the legislauon of the country . ( Cheers . ) How important was it , then , that these things Ehould be taken into serious consideration . "Was there any one of them who could earn as much now as he could do eight or ten years ago ' : [ No , uo . l And where was this sinking to end r Nature , religion , justice , trnth ^ every thing said , ~ Bid defiance to this sinking pj an . _ [ Cheers . ] It was time the working men of this country began to look about them ,. nnless they were determined to take their children fji'their arms , and present them to the factory mastew and « e Poor Law Commissioners , and say , "Here are oar children : take tl ^ m and sacrifice them to

      mammon as to a god , and we will become your slaves . ' " ' ILotid and continued cheers . ] The Ciuirmax then gave , " Feargus O'Connor . £ & } -, and justice to Ireland . '' received with nine hsarty cheers . ' Mr . O'Cojtsor rose to reply , and was received anin with deafening cheers . He acknowledged aemanner in which they hadproposedand received Jh * health , but more especially he felt obliged for iae sentiment with which they had coupled that compliment . He showed the different senses in Tiuch the term "Justice to Ireland" was translated , 2 Dd * tatf d what he conceived to be not only the ^ aning of justice to Ireland , but to the empire at » rge . He then adverted to the different Dervendous

      « the term , and observed that , had it not been that os would not accede to the Tarions measures proposed in the reformed Parliament , under the name of « Jxistice to Ireland , " he would Tiot have been Bow standing before them in the capacity © f an adtocate alike of the rights of Irishmen and EngBsh Jaen . He remarked , that when- he first entered public life , he found , as they now found , that when « tt fountain of legislation was corrupt , it naturally acrnpted every stream that flowed from it ; and , therefore , it was impossible for the people of Ireland to expect any tiing Uke justice ml they purified *« source m-tead ef skimming over the surface . He found that withont a House of Parliament in

      foland , it was impossible to have any thing like sople justice done to that country . His national j ^ ject , therefore , was to obtain * a " representative Jeg M&tion for that country , for the purpose of tta « iig good laws for the people . ( Cheers . / This ^ ssaon was called the " Repeal of the Union—J ^^)—and , seeing the value and importance of this tP ae people he had advocated it with all his might zf **« rgy . But O'ConneltAad also agitated this Holloa ; and it was evident mat his object was to 2 ™ j * tt £ stalking-horse for the public stage , while r * 7 « filhng his coffers at the expense of the peor = ^ povert y .

      Catholic Emancipation Bill . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) The- jmestion on which he differed still more with O'CSanell , was that of a provision for every poor mm toiive in comfort upon the land . that gave himbifih . ? f ( 3 ^ rs . ) He ( Mr . O'Ccnnor ) wab the first person -who * entertained that question mitu proper form in the 41 ouse of Commons , and it was the first measure he " , placed upon- - the order-book ! , when he took his seat at the . commencement of each Session of Parliament . ( Cheers ^) It was not sufi . ficient that there ^ sbronld ^ e a provision for the maimed , the halt , and the blind , or fliose who could ' not work , but as well for those who , by the opera > tions oflaw were prevented in the full bloom of Hfei from obtaining work . ( Cheers . ) Upon these three

      questions he differed with O'Connell , whose conduct with regard to one and all of them , stamped him as the greatest villaim that ever , existed m the world . ( Cheers . ) What , then ^ - were the questions on which he differed with hin' fcrn . ee he left the House ' of Commons ? When the Whigs ^ foundthat public dissatisfaction was going qn to an extent ¦ which the Reform Bill could not stop , turned the odium from themselves , they sent O Connell on a tour to lay all the blame on the one hundred and seventy baboons who sit in pantaloons in the Hottse of Lords . ( Immense cheering . ) Air . O'Connor , however , seeing the trick , stopped him and exposed him , and shewed both the fallacy of his arguments and the hypocrisy of his intentions , maintaining that before they attempted a reform of the House of Lords , the Commons ought to be reformed Mr . O'Connor thus proceeded to ' exhibit , in the

      most forcible and eloquent style , the whole course of Whig treachery and humbugs from the passinjof the Reform Bill to the present time , and in" conclusion came to his old and never failing text that all would be as it was , or perhaps worse without Universal Suffrage . When he was aDOUt concluding , Mr . Stephens , -who had been expected all day and was now almost despaired of , entered' ^ e building , and the noise of approbation was tremendous . Mr . O'Connor then excused himself from addressing them longer , exhorting them never to lose sight of Universal Suffrage imtil it brought back to taem the property of irhich they had been plundered , and that consequent happiness and contentment which must oe the result of a comfortable subsistence . The address throughout was listened to with the greatest attention , and was responded toby the most hearty and enthusiastic cheers .

      The Chaisma > - then gave " Richard Oastler , Esq ., the well known friend of the factory child , and may he speedily recover his wonted health and strength to defend the helpless and oppressed . " Mr . Firth responded to the toast , paying Mr . Oastler a high compliment for the great and consistent exertions he had made against the New Poor Law , and the untiring opposition he had given to it , both in bis own neighbourhood and everywhere else when opportunity allowed . The toast was received with three hearty cheers . The Chairmas then gave li The Rev . Joseph Rayner Stephens , and a speedy repeal of the New Poor Law . " Received with tremendous cheers .

      Mr . Stephens in replying said , that in coupling bis name with the repeal of the New Poor Law , they dul him far more honour than ever he should have it in his power to do them or the cause service in return . He could weep , if tears were worth anything and could answer any end , he could weep whenever he came into a town where he knew the " lawof devils" was partially or more extensivel y in practice . [ Hear . ] Keighley was a degenerated , a degraded , a doomed place , so long as that law was allowed to be the rule ofits administration . ( Cheer ? . ) Ichabod was written upon the "front of every chapel —was inscribed over the gate-way of their ciiurehes —was in every shop-window—o \ er every mantelpiece , and in every dwelling-placeIchabod was

      , written in letters of fire , and would be written in letters of blood , if in Keighley tbatlaw were allowed to be carried into execution . [ Cheers . ] The glorv was gone—the glory of God , of humanity , of benevolence , of Christian principle and practice—the glory was gone , and Mammon sat in Jehovah ' s throne , and Belial was exalted over the Cross of a bleeding and dying Redeemer . [ Hear , hear . ] How long this was to last God only knew . This law however , must be repealed —( cheers)—or England would go down to rise no more for ever . [ Cheers . ] It must be repealed , or we shall be disinherited ol our very humanity , and become worse than the beasts that perish . WSen he himself contemplated how it ¦ was possible for a la-w of this kind , to become enacted .

      b

      concluded the remarks he was about to make . ( Loud cheers . ) He then adverted to the state of the country at the time this bill passed , and the great confidence which the people had in the government , in consequence of the promises that hai been made of continued reform . Their whole cry was " give us time and you shall see what we will do . " And they did see what they did , they gave tbe Poor Law Amendment Act . " He spoke of the deception used in the word amendment , and remarked that when the people found that the poor laws were to be amended , they naturally expected the condition of the poor would be improved . As soon , however , as the country found that a relieving officer meant not a man to Telieve distress , to succour the afflicted , to

      give food to the hungry , medicine to the sick , and the blessings of religion to the dying , but meant a man Ui relieve the landlords from the necessity of the payment of all rate ? , and to Teraove the poor man ' s cottage of the last chair , and the few handfuls of flocks on which he andiis wile and children slept—When the country found that a relieving officer meant a man to remove the last relict of household furniture from the cottage of the miserable , when it found the basriles rising , and the whole of . tbe devil ' s scheme carried into full and awful execution , —then the country began to work—then it began to arise and shake itself , and cry out " Repeal , repeal , repeal—not amend—repeal , repeal the New Poor Law . "' ( Loud

      cheers . ) Mr . Stephens then proceeded to point out what had been done by the country to obtain the repeal of tHs measure . First , there had been meetings in almost every county , parish , and township ; and . these meetings had always been attempted to be " convened in the legal way . There be , and Mr . O'Connor , and Mr . Oastler and others , had argued and reasoned the question : they brought it . to the test of the common statute law and the Constitution — to the test of their common sense , and common feeling , and humanity ; and atlast they brought it to the test of Christianity , which was said to be part and parcel of the law of the land . The next step thpy took was the employment of the Press , arguing the question in speeches , and pamphlets , and

      newspapers , and along with these means they proceeded to address tlje Houses of Lords and Commons , in the way of petition . They had petitions from almost every hamlet and township from which petitions usually emanate , and from many places from which petitions had never been sent before , until the tables of both these Houses groaned beneath them . On one occasion Mr . O'Connor , and Mr . Oastler , and himself had stood before a meeting of two or three hundred thousand , to petition , for a repeal of this law . But what became of their petitions ? They were laughed at . ( Hear , hear . ) He would ask as aman , and as a constitutional patriot , whether it could longer be borne that the people of England should not only be denied the redress of their grievances ,

      but should be pubbcly insulted by Ministers of the Crown when they approached their representatives in Parliament and prayed for the" repeal-of an act ui Parliament ? ( Cheers . ) Well then , the time for petitioning went by ; they were not to be laughed at any longer ; . and the people proceeded to adopt the next constitutional step , that of remonstrance , and their remonstrances had been treated with the same or greater contempt ( Cheers . ) What then was to to be done ? Was it to be endured that the asylum of the poor was to be much worse than the dungeon of the malefactors ? Was a thief to have better apartments and kinder treatment than the man who had committed no crime , unless it be the crime of not havine murdered—if murder , they choose to call

      it—the man that offered to take him into a bastile r ( Cheers . ) He had been told that even now they were not allowed to carry any thing to their old grandfathers or grandmothers at the Keighley workhouse , without tbe jailor having the power to throw it into the street , or of giving it them as so much parish allowance , ( groans ) and keeping back what he thought they did not need , because their friends had been so softhearted as to respect and comfort them in their distress . ( Loud cries of hear , hear . ) Mr . Stephens then took up several of tbe objections which are urged against resisting the New Poor Law , and showed their fallacy as objections , espedallytlia . t of its "being the law of the land , and there fore ought to be obeyed . He next touched upon the

      dietary table , which was said by some person in the House of Commons , to allow more than Capt . Parry and his men , when in distress . In this case he observed that captain and sailors all snared the same fete , and had all the same allowance . ( Cheers . ) But if it were asked what plan was now to be adopted , to obtain a repeal of tins law , he answered that there was nothing left for them to do but one thing , and that was , that every man that had wisdom , and courage , and determination—that every free-born Briton , and every enlightened Christian , bpforehebe twenty-four hours older , ought to provide himself with some weapon of defence . ( Tremendous and long-continued cheers . ) The New Poor Law was not the law of England ; and if the England of to-day were the England of 200 years ago , every man whb

[ Tr *» - mendouA cheers . ] He then read a part of tbe Coro-A atlan . services , showinz with great ahiUt . v tfco

      absurdity of many of the ceremonies , and contrasting with , great eflect the promisea- which were then made with the / unwH-sal practice of those having the power of government . The exposition had the most wonderful effect upon the meeting . Mr . Stephens concluded a long and very eloquent speech by recoramenOlng the people to provide , themselves Tvith arms . tie warned them not to think of using them ; but to have them ready , and then they might rely on having the mfernal law repealed . This speech had such ah effect upon the meeting as we scarcely ever remember to have- ' seen any speech produce upon a similar assembly . Alter several votes of thanks had . been passed the people separated , evidently with the determination of following Mr . Stephens' advice to the" very letter .

      PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRD SOCIAL CONGRESS , held at Manchester , in May , 1 S 38 . ' FIRST YEAHLY REPORT OF THE NATIONAL COMMUNITY FRIENDLY SOCIETY , ending May 6 th , 1 S 38 .

      CONSTITUTION AND RULES OF THE ASSOCIATION , OE ALL CLASSES OF ALL NATIONS . Revised by the Congress , held in the Social Institution , Great Georgestreet , Salford . - Birmingham : Guest . London : Cleave . Manchester : Heywood . Leeds : Joshua Hobson , Northern Star ' Office . These are the official documents " , just published , containing as their respective titles import , the movements , proceeding ? , and regulations of the Socialists , who have now become a very numerous body ; and who place before them objects of the highest consequence to the interests and happiness of mankind . The following extract from the '' Constitution , &c . / ' defines in simple and intelligible language , the object they have in view , and the means by which they purpose to accomplish it .

      1 . Object . —The object ef this association is to effect , peaceably , and bir reason alone , an entire change in the character and condition of mankind , by establishing over the world , in princi p le and practice , the religion of chanty for the convictions , feehnga , and conduct of all individual * , without distinction of sex , class , sect , party ,-country , or colour , combined with a well devised , equitable , and natural system of united property ; which united property is to be created by the me . mbers of tbiassociation , witiontuifringihg upon the rights of any private property now in existence . And this great change w to be introduced and accomplished by devising and adopting new arrangements , of a much higher order th : m any now in existence , for forming a superior character for the human race ; for producing and distributing in the best manner tie best qualities of all kinds of wealth abundantly for all , and _ for governing mankind without artificial rewards or punishments , most beneficially foT each individual .

      2 . Means . —These objects are to be attained , first by the establishment of a central association , with branches extending to every part of the world . Secondly , bv the central association and its branches , creating a new public opinion in favour of this _ entire change in the character and condition of man , by pubUc meetings , lectures , discussions , missionaries , cheap publications , mutual exchanges of productions upon equitable principles , without individual competition ; and finally , by founding , a 3 Boon as possible , COMMUNITIES OK UNITED INTEREST , in which for ever to well educate and advantageouBly employ all the members of the association , under snch superior arrangements' as will ensure their health , permanent prosperity , intelligence , union , and happiness .

      "We should ill perform the duty which , as journalists , we have undertaken , did we permit these little worts to pass without stating our opinion , that every good man must ardently long for the attainment of this object ; and our conviction that the practical social arrangements recommended by Mr . Owen , are the only means by which the universal happiness of man can be promoted and secured ; while , at the same time , we are perfectly assured , that those means can never be brought fully into operation until the people have Universal Suffrage .

      HULL TEMPERANCE PIONEER . No . 11 . Edited by It . Firth . In this number of the Pioneer ^ the Tespectable and zealous editor has bestowed an excellent leading article upon a subject that is well worthy the attention of all members of those useful institutions , the extension and furtherance of which , is the object of this periodical . That subject is the absolute necessity of preserving a oneness of effort and design in the Temperance Society and its advocates , and , therefore , of entirely avoiding the introduction of party sentiments or movements , either in religion or politics . The arguments used by the editor for this purpose are rational and conclusive . He states

      very properly , that the necessary consequence of the society's identifying itself in any way with politics , must be tbe producing of unpleasant sensations in the minds of some ; since the acting and useful members of the society include poutieians of all shades and grades , from the Republican to the highest church and ting Tory , and he contends that the reyalsion of feelin g necessary produced OH sensit ive minds by au attack , however courteous , on their political yiews and feelings goes far towards the destruction of that cheerfulness with which they might otherwise unite for the accomplishment of their common object , the spread of those principles on the excellency of which they are all agreed .

      "We perfectly accede to thig very rational view of the subject . We have always held the opinion that the identification of the Temperance cause with politics in any shape , was unwise and suicidal ; and hence we viewed with feelings of sincere regret the " demonstrations" almost ^ everywhere made by the Temperance Societies on the occasions of the proclamation and coronation of the Queen . These were purely political movements . Movements calculated to be highly offensive to all members of the
