As this Disease is one which- is likelr to be contracted wLeDever exposure taie * p lace , it is nol like JBany other Yisi tors , once in life , but on the contrary , one infettion may scarcely have teen Ttmovcd , when another may unfortunately be imbibed , therefore the Practitioner requires real judgment in order to treat « acb particular Case in > uch a manner as not merely to Temove the present attack , but tc preserve the constitution unimpaired , in case of & repetition at no distant period . The man of experience can avail himself of the greatest improvements in modera practice , by being able to distinguish between discharges of a " specific and of a simple or mild nature , which can only be made by one . in daily practice , after due consideration of all circumstances . In the sau > e manner at birth , appearances often take place in children , which call for a proper knowledge and acquaintance with the disease , in order to discriminate their real nature , and which may be the means of sowing domestic discord , unless managed tj the Surgeon with propriety and skill . Patient * labouring under this Disease , cannot be too cautious into whose hand they commit themselves .. The propriety of this remark is abundantly manifested . ~ k y the . same party'frequently " passing the ordeal of several Practitioners j before be is fortunate enough to obtain a perfect core . Tht following are some of tbe many symptoms that distinguish thi * Tjisease : —a general debility , eruptions on the head , face , and body ; ulcerated « ore throats , scrofula , twellings in the neck , nodes on the shin bones , cancers , fistula , pains in the head and limbs , which are frequently mistaken for rheumatism , &c &e .

      , memeii or juirmiufhami because they were well ( known : but to person * atadistauoeituiight beorouer to atatf , that the sole ; object which the council had Hi view , was to obtain for - the people political . power ^ nd having pkeed that power iu their bands , fcave them to the . fall and unbiassed exerci ** of it U hey could thvn appoint whom they pleased to legislate for them , and they could adopt such new laws . or . alterations . in- old ones , at * they deemed best calcii-; lated to promote their interest , From the day that . tbe ¦ Uiiion adopted the principle of Universal buHrage , he considered that nil questious of detail , ¦ wiifctnt-r oj coiu l aws , or poor laws , or money laws were set aside . ( Hear , hear . ) He considered that all and every of these question * muKt be sunk , nnnl

      the _ people obtaiuBd , through the medium ot 'L ) niver .-al Suftrage , those rights without which it was liupossiMe , to expect they could ever achieve any good . The next subject t <> which he wished to adyerl , was the proposed " ¦ holy week , " as it w » w termed . Their excellent » rieiid , Mr . A ' ttwopd , waof opinion that the people should , in the event ol the goveiumeiu retusiug them justice , abstain trom work tl . roiigbout the kingdom tor i , whole week and that they should attend to nothing during thai period except politics . That was \ Mr . Attwood ' s opinion , and sonie of the council entertained the same ouiuitm ; but they were aware that the council were not all England , and that they had no right to dictate upmi that or any other point to the i

      muirtat large , Hiry were the ftrrft who had led on the inarch ,, and they ought to be the last to retreat , hut the \ did not presume to dictate . Re conte > s « id be had not entertained the same oyinion as his frieun Mr . Attwond , re .- * uecrii ] K -he tflicacy of the week ' s ahsiiiieuce lrom w ' orki because bi ; was afraid that ii the people even did resort to it , that the wealth ot the higher classes would prove too strong for them , lie whs afraid the ricb woi > ld be able to stand out against the people for that time , and that the . work - ii .-g- classes would be compelled to return without ecire > s to their wbik . His lriends , Mr . D . ) u » ln > anU Mr . Salt , were of opinion that pteut good mnild be etlected by a Btrike against the excise , and other mi'iniivrs . bad their notions respecting the lie .-t moiie

      \» operaung upon . their _ ruler * , but these opinions were only i . h <>» eot '' individuals ,, to whom neither the Cdiincil nor the Union were in any way pledged . He wished it . to be . distinctl y , known and mniur ' stoou throughout the kingdom , that the council had not laid oown any plan . It wns for the Convention to tlothat . The ciiuncilliad but one resolution , which they mt-aiic to . icand by , and that \ va . - ' , to carry out the principle of Universal Suffrnge . Beyond that the council bad not gone , nor aid they iuteud to . « . «» Theirol . ject was to induce the people to send delegates to London , who would sit anil decide upon the

      best inode ol eliocting their object . Future operations were to be governed by the council of the delegates only—nieh cliosen Ireely by all the , working chts .-fs . 'They were : the persons who were to it'll them what vit > , and what was not to be done . He had been thus explicit , because he feared many wight he led asirny by the notion that the council ol the Birmingham Union wished to dictate to the Radicals of the kingdom . He once more , stated , that they went upon the plan ot giving as much power as they could to the people , and then leaving it to the peoul to act as they saw best lor their own and the general interest .

      Mr . DouuLAtt said , be beld in l > is hand a letter I ' rnui Manchester ^ itoru which it appeared t ' uat the Kfloiiners there bad held a meeting on the 16 th hist . in the field of Pel . erloo . He found no fault with ' them lor this nieeting . When , at the lastineethig . lie uienlioiied the massacre that had taken place in that town , he stated that although the peoj . le ought io forgive it , they could never forget it . 11 » a « , indeed , an atrocity which the people ot England oii ^ ht not to forget . It was not . in his opinion , a Christian duty that they should . From that inassacr .-nctt only did the immediate tictiihs sull '< -r , but tiic cause otliberty suffered a deep and . almost fatal wound . He found , therefore , bo fault with the people ot Manchester , lor keeping that dav in

      eternal abomination , But that was not the great meeting . ' 1 ha t had not asvettakru place . -He ' held in hit > hand a letter ( rotn Mr . Richardson , who attended their late meeting in Biriningham . He should read a few extracts to show how they were proceeding in in MBuchester . Mr . D . then read extracts from a Irttei addressed to Mr . Salt by Mr , Richardson . He read the . < e extracts a * a coinmauicatiyu from a private individual to a private individual . Some of the members of the Council would , no doubt , attend that meeting , because it would , he had no doubt , be one of vast importaucu ; as great , if not greater , ( than either the GlHsgow or Birmingham meetings . With respect to what had fallen from his friend Mr . Muutz , he should say a few words , ' and they would

      be addressed more to those without than to the Council or the Union . He found that some of the Tory andWhi ^ newspapers had taken gre at pains to repiesent the nitended National Convention , as a means to enable Mr . Attwodd the more effectually to carry iuto operation his views of the currency question . They represented the Conveut ; on as a cunning device of Mr . Attwood , got up merely to senp his own private iutereBte . God knew there never was a more unjust calumny against any man than that involved in this charge against a man who , during a long life , had made such great arid disiutere . 'ted sacrifices for the public good . It was well known that by the course which the honourable geutlemauhad pursued , he had surlered in a pecuuiai-v

      point of view . He had sacrificed extensive coin * - inercial connections—he had gone against the wishes of many and dear friends—and yet this was the man wbom the ? e papers selected to charge with base and Joruid motives of personal interest . He believed firmly the idea ol enhancing his iprivate interest never once came into Mr . Attwbpd h iinagiuation . But these writers had gone the length of representinjf ,. the council as being mere tools of Mr . Attwood , which he used to enable him to a ' ttaih his object . Now , with every respect lor Mr . Attwopdr ^ and he was sure themwasnoman who niore highly venerated him than he ( Mr . D . ) did , he would any , that if that gentlemaii was disposed toma ¥ e tools ot them , Tiqman couldhave been more unfortunate in his selection of hi 8 men .

      ( Hear . ) He never saw them on any occasion unwillmg to offer their opinions upon any subject , or scrupulous in defending them . ( Hear . ) They were always prepared to maintain their opinions and vote for them , no matter to whom they were opposed . Again , it bad been asserted that the council wished to-get the matiagemeut of the convention into their own' hands : and that this appeared from the fact of so mauy Birmingham men naviiig been appointed in the elelegation . ; Than this nothing could be more untrue . The-numbers were fixed in the presence ol Mr . O'Connor , the representative of many ot the towu 8 of the north , of Mr . Vincent , who represented the Londoii Retprmere , and , Mr » Mpir and Mr . Purdie , r ^ pfesenlauves , he ( Mr / Uouglas ) miKhtrtav !

      o ( the whole 61 the Refdrniersi of Scotland . : The opinions of these gentlemen Were severally and distinct ly tiken ^ and they were unanimous in approving ol Birmingham sending the riumber ' named in the resolution agreed to at the great riveting . They thought that it was probable some towns would not deem it necessary to in jur the trouble and expense of sending delegates , and that the cause might consequently sufler for want of a sufficient number They also considered that as the undertaking ongiuaterin Birminghani , there rested upon them a greatersbate . ot responsibility , and for that reason also , it Was thought rigfct that a greater number should be appointed lrom Binhingham , It was argued \ that it was indispensabl y necessary that the men of Birmingham should take a prominen t part m the convention : andthatif they refused so to do , Uipy might justly be acctised of Drieiiiatinir an in .

He ( Mr D ) might add ^ that it was not likely the whole of the delegates from Birmingham would be in London together , and thern ? wonld ^ cohsequentiy , be no danger that they could exercise an undue influence in the deliberations of the convention . Now , wiu , respect ..-to , the questiona h'specting the currency and the corn-laws , and the poor-laws , he wished it to be distinctly understooO that they were only postponed , because , u was found impossible to moot them succes ^ fii ^ y under present circumst ance * . ( Hear , hear . ) 1 he currency was the Birmingham hobby . The corn-laws were the Glasgow bot . bv and the poor-laws were the Manchester bobbv ! Each had good and substantial reasons for the hobby

Here , then , were three great questions , on no one of which could they combine a majority of the United Kingdom , There f ore , they aid they would ga for Universal Suffrage , bvcau . * e ihey would in that case have the luasses with ihem : and having ; the iitas » es with them , they '¦ ' could' not fail of success . ( Cheers . ) If they should carry that question , they would not legislate for the country as the W bigs bad done . They would mend their pace a little . Iu the year 16150 , when Charles H ; was

      restored , the English Parliament passed many laws toainent tho .-e which had been pussed by tJromwell ; buttheScotc . Ti went more expe . iuonxly to work . They passed ap Act repealing all the Acts rime had been agreed to during the Commonwealth . W ' l . 'u they obtained Universal Suffrage , they , like tbe Scott'n , would pass an Act recissory . They would schedule the whole of the obnoxious statute . * , and repeal them in the lump . He would , therriore , .-ay with his friend Mr . Muutz , drop the money laws , the Poor Laws , the Corn Laws , and all other Acts ot ot particular grievance , and go straightforward for the one fieedlnl law—the law of Universal Suffrage ( Cheer * . )

      Mr . Salt said , he could not but congratulate them upon the great progress which their cause was mak - ing The great crowd then assembled , mid the daily incn'iising interest manifested by the people , wer . proofs that the labouring classes , iu consequence of the delegation to Scotland , and the occurrences which had since taken place , were beginning to stir themselves , and evinced a spir it , and determination , nnd organization , far greater than could have been anticipated . The Loudpu ' Sun newspaper bail announced that eighty-uiue towns had declared for the national petition —( cheers )—and had declared their determination to carry itiuto effect ; aud the ¦ Sun further declared , that such was the combination iiuioiigst the people , that they would be irresistible . The pre > s attempted to burke their proceedings . At at the time that huudrtjds ot ' thousandf wert ^ meeting in bcotmudaud whfft the

      , ground was rocking under ttiem , the pfess attempted to burke them . - Bwt now they saw that thpy could no longer conceal the great anil important movement which was going on , they found the people wtire deserving of notice . The fact Was , they found they were determined no longer to be ilwped by factions , and that they must have redress . Having alluded to tbe press , he would ask tliein—had they as yet , diivvn the traitor Dispatch out of tl . e town . ( Cries of Ves , yes . ) The Chairman said , respeiting the propriety of the council making a declaration of their principles , hesvhoiild take the liberty of . eading certain resolHtions which had been agjeed to by the council , and trom which he trusted it would appear sufficiently clear that the opinion of the council was neither ambiguous nor undefined upon the question of Universal Suffrage . Mr . M . then read the following

      extracts : * ' That the history of the-successive Parliaments elected under the ReformBill ,-. 6 ftWa an unintermpted series of proofs that the present constituency does not secure an effectual representation of the people but that under the old , the Hpiise of Commoiisis merely an arena for the contention qf adverse fa ' cdpn —all equally . regardless of the weliare of the . people . " That under these circumstances it is the duty of the Council to endeavour to unite all classes throughout the kingdom in a combined effort to obtain , under the representation of allthe protection ot

      , | M | " . . ' » '" Their principles were therefore clearly established and he considered , after the reading ol these resolutions , and what had been said by other speakers , it would be deemed unnecessary to go into any more formal explanation of their views . ( Hear ,. hear . ) With respect to the Dispatch and CArdkicte , he would only observe , that it depended upon the workr ing men themselves , whether these papers should continue in circulation .. Tbey had only to refuse resorting to the public houses which continued to take them in , and the matter was at once settled .

      Mr . Dodgla 9 said , before parting he might just be permitted to state , in a few words , what the members of convention were doing in reference to future operations . They had met , and agreed to a circular which would be immediately sent throughput the kingdom , in reference ( to . the collection . of the national rent . They had proposed that thesubscriplion should be at the rate . of . ¦ fijjty abillings for every thousand of the population , and that sum , it was considered * would come within the reach of every community ^ however poor . The money was to be invested with a London banker , in the names of George Fredrick Muntz , P , HvMuntz , and Robert Kellie Douglas , in trust for the national convention . When the convention assembled , the money would

      be handed over to that body , to be disposed of in such a manner as they might deem proper . The council of the Union Ia 3 i bi course , nothing whatever to Ho with the money . ' The only reason the names he ^^ hadL already / mentioned were to be"in anv way connected : * ith it Was , because it was indispensably necessary that it should be lodged in the name of some nerapnor persons . It was necessary thatthere shouldbe at theoisppsal of the convention ai , least aE 8 , 000 ; or i 10 , 000 , because- \ there was no knowing the extent ; to v » hichlitigipusprpceedings might not be carried against them . He hboed the

      call would be responded to . He ' knew it would be ill Birmingham . He did not think- they would be required to meet in London , before January , ' and by that time , he had no doubt , therequiiedsum wonid be gubsenbed ; It wai their intention to dinae Bir i minghath into , districts , for the purpose of facilitating the collection ^ ' and when the arrangement * Were complete they would bftmade known , : The Cbairinan , after corroborating Mr . Douglas ' s statement relative to the intended application of the national rent , declared the meeting ajijourned . In the couwe of the evening , Mr . Steel was introduced to the council as « new member , and took hiaseat .

      done . Have the working classes done more thai their duty ? Have they yet completed it ? No ; not until they have placed their brethren in-such & situatiou as will enable them togain a comfortable subsistence by their labour , free trom the power of their former task-masters : this is v ? bat ought to be done , and what the Committee propose doing .

      objectidn upon other and higher gTounds than thb « of recompense to the men themselves . Have those objectors cver thought of the moral effect it wouli tave upon society at large in thus placing their brethren upon the land ?
