      UNANIMITY OF PURPOSE . Of all the spectacles which can be contemplated hj bodily or mrntal twqd , the . most glorious ta that of as oppressed and nrtuotw people arising in the dignity of united atrtngth—laying aside kbrar respective predilections , ar ; d concentrating all their powers into one smooth , liard stone , wbereirith to smite on the forehead the Goliah of iniquitr , by whom tbe armies of righttoui-nesj ' have teen defied . No troth can be more certain , nor is anj onu more universally acknowledged ,

      than that whatsoever a whole people have determined to obtain it would not ouly be madness , but it is impossible , to deny . All history sustain * this conclusion . No matter how-strongly tyraun \ may be entrenched by power , and fortified b y p rivilege , its stern eye quails at si ght of popular determination , governed by the force of union , and p ointed to the demolition of injustice . Not more certain or more overwhelming is ; the progress of a mi g hty deluge , casting down all bamer * before it , than is the onward marcn- 'of -public

      opinion , when concentrated to one-object in which all are alike interesttd and cenctrned . It is , indeed , worth living for to see myriads of human beings , ¦ wh om , in bygone day * , ignnraDee , apaiby , and ra . « - caliry have combined to rob of all that man hold * dear , lifting up their Toices as one man to demand the restitution tf their rig hts . Engiaud liarn ^ vtr till low beholden a period so mcmtntously important as is the present one . Fiom north to i « outh , from east to west , the con-ness of deteimined virtue , the firmest of prudential resolves , proclaims in the

      tame peaceful , but decided Toiie , thfct the chiidren of is * oil will no lonper gi've their strength for nought , ind their labour for that which is not "bread . Long and earnestly have we and others laboured for the bringing - about of this gloriou . s cHmax , but never till now did we perceive the probability rf its speedy accomplisLment . The mteting in Palace Yard , reported in our present japer , presents an object of contemplation equah j gtaii 1 yh . fi to the &dv < cau > , :: iid ft arlul lethe enemies f justice for tbe people . Heretofore , tbe vile factions

      who have alternately raltd ar . d robbed tbe people , "byre contrived , \> j a "variety oT individual suljrcu of discussion , to prevent the force of concentrated opinion irt m being brought to b * -ar npon anv one single point . Multitudiiiuus a * are the excrescences upon the hideous monster vf . corruption , thev have served the propose of lengthening out the term uf it * duration , by attracting that attention to the cleaning and curing of the several sores , which should have been at once direc-ed to eradicating ironi the constitution the disease of which they are

      thi >\ t / p toins . One portion of the public mind has Iken busy in dt-vi > ing means whereb y to prevent the recurrence of those convulsions in our inonrtarv * y * tt m , which have succes > ivel y produced guch fearful havoc and distress , by the eDrithinarof small Inuts of individuals at the esptnseof all . < oeitriy ; another portion actively emploxed ia deprecating th < j inflnence of the Corn Laws ; another exclaiming against tbe rapacity of the State Church , and dtmaiidmg tie rtdres .-&l of the Dissenters' grievani- e *; anoihcr canvassing the Pens * on List , and

      • tru ^ gling to throw off the dead wei ght with which ¦ we are burdened ; another in execrating the law of devil ? , by wLich poverty is treated' with greater severity than crime ; and another in striving to throw the uantle of protection aiuuud the child of poverty in the hel plemiess of jouihj . and save it from the murderous fangs of all en * rn . «« ng " capital . " "Whil e ill these objects have been at once pursued , the power of the people has

      b « en diminitbed , in proportion to the number of 1-jecta for ithose aei-om pl'sLments it has been diviced . ThnF have our t-neraits been able , succes-Bvel y to parry our attacks , and hold . themselve * ecure , and render abortive all our efforts for the remedy of any of these grievances ; while the causes > hich first enslaved us are still sinking us deeper and deeper in the abys 3 of degradation . On one occasion only , was anything like an united den » onrfTatton of tbe people ' s -Brill directed towards

      one object , and that object ( the Reform Bill ) wa ^ tpeedily attained . Hence have the people learned , that if they would work well , for the attainment of their rights , against such fearful odds as are arrayed against them , they must do one thing at once ; and a * the sting and power of oppression is in the law , they have -wisel y determined to " sink minor differences , " and Jeave individual subjects of dkeussion , until they have attained that power and controul over this mighty engine which shall enable them to nse it at once , and ; rightly in the

      correction of any and every abuse that has sprung rot of the long protracted system of misrule . The harmony of sentiment and agreement cf opinion expressed at that meeting b y tbe numerous speakers —representatives " , collectivel y , of millions " of their fellow 8 ubjects--was indeed delightful There was Colonel Thompson laying aside with manly dignity Ms prediction for the Corn Law Question , in order that that great question might be first settled , ¦ npon which all other questions are by necessity dependant . There was Birmingham , in the person

      of its representative , Douglas , sacrificing the Currency npon the altar of political power for the people , Clkate ana Hethebingtos , grounding for a season the arm * with , which they have so toutly battled for the freedom of the press ; Duncan and Fraseb , the eloquent and honest repre-* entativrs of Scotland , joining with Thompson and Elliott in the surrender of the Corn Law agitatation , while Beown , the Irish patriot , and "Williams , the honest Cambrian , joined in tie full chorus of the whole company

      fcr " that gr eat foundation of all public liberty , a fuu representation of the people in the legislative assembl y .

      J be unanimity ol setn'nent tm ; inaiiLg Iran * o many distant points to one locu . * , gave to thu > meeting that imposing attitude which has caused even the Timet to drop the character of the bully , and make acinmsy effort at an argument ,-which argument we shall reserve for dissection at the dixbing up of the second course of thits splendid ftast in connection with the Kersal Moor , Liverpool , and Sheffield Demonstrations , of which we hope to report progress in our next . The three or four thousand , bowerer , of the Sun , and tbe four or five thousand of the Tmet , accord somewhat rtr&ngely with the honest adimV-sion of the Morning Advertiser ^ " vhat during the day there were infinitely more than thirty thousand . " Even the Globe acknowledges that "beforetwelve o ' clock , the whole area of Palace 'i ' ard was filled ; * ' and we suppose every

      one who knows Palace Yard , knows that it » not to be filled with fewer than from fifteen to twenty times the number of pen-on ? talked of as being present by the Sim * nd the Time * . It wm , in fact , as we are well assured , by tbo * e who have had the best opportunities of judging , the largest meeting eTer holden in Palace Yard . We are content , however , to rest the claim of the Sun and the Times to a participation in the honourable title bestowed by the late Mr . CoBBETT upon one of their provincial coadjutors , on the single fact that during the day , Thr National Petition was

      SIGNED UPON THE SPOT BY MORK THAN SIXTEEN THOUSAND PERSONS . It Will probably not be accounted an unreasonable supposition , that in that immense concourse of people , there might be two persons who could not write for every one who cculd . If ^ then , according to this reckoning , we multiply the signatures by three , for the aggregate of the meeting , we shall find the arithmetic of the £ vn to have erred as much as 43 or 44 , 000 out of 48 , 000 , while that of the Times , its fellow labourer in corruption , is little less beside the mark . It is surely time the destinies of the nation sbould be in other hands

      than those who derive their wisuoni , their counsel , and their support frcm "hones-iy and intellect , " such as is here developed . Nothing can afford more certain proof , than do these wmhings of the base Whig and Tory hirelings , that they read in tbe eooines ? , and peacffulLess , and unanimity of tht people , the death-warrant of that ?} stem of misrule which has so long used the many as a jm whereon the few might be gorged . We close our present notice in the words , with very little

      alteration of tbe Morning ^ dverlistr , applied by that paper to the Times—'' This attempt to conctal alarm under the affectation of indifference , is a common subterfuge" with those who have not the courage nor the ability to meet an inevitable danger wiih more appropriate bearing ; but btlore tLe close of the next Session of Parliament , if the people do but remain true to ihtm * elves , the Tories and the Whigs too , shall be taught , as they- have btft on msDT former -orc-ssion ? , to = itk tbe du > i Le ! oi > those whom they afftct to despise .

      TO THE UNREPKESENTED PEOPLE Ot GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND . My Friends and Fellow-Slavks , —Should any of jou entertain the delusion that Univer > al Suffrage is to be attained without great tfibits and sacrifitts on the patt of each and all of jou , pr » j get rid of cuih delusion as soon as possible . Certain parties , 1 observe , are endeavouring to persuade you that tbe middle classts are ycur iiiends . It is not true . Ihe m ' . ddle classes « e not your friends . They never were your frit-rid * . They never will be

      your friends as wng as the yresmt conm . ercia system endures . If the middle classes w « e jour friends , you would not need Universal Suffrage . It is because they are not jour friends that you demai . d a voice in Parliament to proiect you against their rapacity and tyranny . I should dteui it an insult to jour understandings to argue such a question . To be convinced that the middle clashes are cot your friends , \ ou have only to look to ^ our prestnt toudirion . You are far worse off tLun man is known to

      be in tbe savage state . You experitnee all the physical and moral privations incidental to savage life , without the liberty which savages enjoy , and with an amount of toil or bodily slavery which savages never knew , and which no savape would or tould endure . For » yeigbt hours labour per week has been deemed slavery enough for the negro slaTe . Sixty-nine hours labour per week is deemed to be not slavery tnough for you . The Negro ' s reward for forty-eight hour * slavery per week was much greater than \ our reward

      for sixty-nine hours . Every impartial traveller that has written on the . condition of Negro Slaves in the "West Indies—their condition previously to the fraudulent "Abolition Act" has confessed asmuch . New if the midale classes were your friend * , would they allow you to remain in such abject slavery ? A slavery unknown to the savage , and incomparably worse , in degree and in effect , than that of the kidnapped Negroes ? Common senBe will answer , "No ! " Common sense must tell you , that where certain parties possess the power of

      changing your condition from one of misery and bondage , to one of liberty and prosperity , and refuse to do so , they cannot be your friends . And if , in addition to such evidences you also find that what is slavery and misery to you , is ease and luxury to the parties I speak of—so much so , that hundreds of the middle classes are everj year pausing from the claj « of profit-mongers , into that of idle gentlemtn and ladies , to live the remainder of their lives on the accumulated fruits ot your earning *— jf you find this to be the case , is it not the height

      of impudence to endeavour to persuade you that the middle classes are your friends ? Yet there are traitors , calling themselves Radical * , who have the effrontery to tell you that the middle classes are your friends ! and that your misery is solely aseribable to the domination of a handful of Tory Aristocrat * . I know no epithet snfficiently strong to characterise such traitors . If the middle classes are your friends , why do they not support a Radical press ? Why do they not support your Trades' Uuions and Working Men ' s Asg ociations ? Why do they not attend your public meetings , or assist

      in organising your Political Unions ? Why do they withhold their countenance and their purses from all efforts made in aid of your cause ? Why do they secretl y undermine , and openly persecute all real friends of the people , driving some to beggary and ruin , and wearing out the rest with disappointment , disgnst , and despair ? But , above all , why have they given yon three of the worst Parliaments that ever cursed the country ? And wh y , nor content witi that , are they now preparing to gire yoa a Parliament of Tories to govern you by the swoji ? If you doubt me , my friends , look at the

      secret meetings recently held b y fellows calling themselves " Conservatives , " at which more than one-half of the persons present were of the middle classes . One of those meetings was held a few weeks ago in the City of London . Though it was avowedl y & polilicaJ meeting , no reporters were admitted ] Yon seC ) mj friends , that the Tillains dare not let the public know what they are about : I mi ght also refw to th * secret conclaves alleged to have , been latel y held at the Duke of Wellington s , and to the fact that , notwithstanding these enclaves and ™

      , the WB'i . vBn _ : ,, _* . •_ „ ., » . » ,. « a me well-known despotic and sanguinary character of the Wellington party , the Puke and friends are invariabl y cheered by the

      m ; ddle ciu-v > vvhei . ever . Uje \; vappear in rpuMic . But not to dwell on the myster on * movements pt the party , look to the more itoiorious conduct of the middle classes uSfxbibited in the formation of the three last Parliamtufaj . These classes , say a . the Scotsman , ' " constitute at hast three-fourths of the existing constituency . " Tley coi s . titute more than three-fourths , but no matter about the difference , They have , therefore , posj-essed , at least , tbrtefourths of the whole electoral power of the kincdcin since the passipg of the " . Reform Act ! " Thev

      have , consequently , bad the election of the three last Houses of Commons in their own hands . And what description of Huusts h « ve they g iven you ? Tbt-ir first *' Refornttd" Rouse gave you the "Coercion" Act for Irtland . Their second Housf gave you the New Poor Law Act for England and Wales . Their third , and present , House has ratified that Act by an overwhelming majority of votes . All thre « Houses have passed-a greater number of dishonest and oppressive Acts than did any three antecedent Houses since the Revolution oi 1688 . Again , the number of Tories in the first House ( though greatly exceeded by that of the two

      other factious united ) was sufficiently great to prove the Reform Act a fraud ou the public . The uuniber of Tories in the second House was still greater than inthefirst . Tbe number : . pf Tories in the third , or present , House U nearly one-half of the entire representation . Indeed , more than one-half of the English and VTeisb Members are Tories , whilst nearly one-hilf of the Scotch Mnnbeis are Tories , so that were it not for O'Conneli / s plbce-huntiuf ! tail , our actual House of Commons would at this moment exhibit a decided majority ot avowed Tories ; and were another dis-ulun » u to take place , now itk all but cei tain that OC ^ skell ' * trifiink

      majority would vanish before the tiaily-augmeutn . g strength of Toryism . These , my friends , are the results of the middle class v * Refoim" of 1831 ! Yet , there are fellows , calling themselves Radica . s , base and jojpudent enough to try to persuade you that'he middle classes raeyour friends . But why do I remind \ ou of these facts ? To show you that you must trust to vourselves , and to yourselves alone , for your political redemption . No power on earth will save you , unless you are determined to save yourselves . To effect thut , \ our

      organization must he almost perfect . You must be united as one man ; vou must be so firmly , and ut tbe same time , so sens iive / y linked together , that a blow struck at any one p < irtion or individual of your bod y , shall operate electricalU upon tht whole . You must convince the upper and middle classes , by your gtstures ai . d by } our elemeanour , that you will neither be cooled nor bullied , neither tickltd uor dragooned , out of your just ri g hts . You must convince thrnj , thrit Vbhiist \ ou aie Tesolvtd to obe ) the law , and to concur iu any measure necessary to the security of property , jou are also resolved , that

      the law ? hall be heuce prward mads by and for jou as well as b y and jar the iuiddle and upper classes , and that you know how to distiiiguish between wealth orpropei ty already ucouired , and that « hich , not having ytt come intoeursiince ^ will be usurped by the owners of the former , unless you have a voice in the laws to secure to the producrr his legitimate share of it . In short , j ou must continue them , that while you are ready io forgive aud to forget the millions of iniquities and outrsijtes they have hitherto inflicted on you , you are , at the same tuntj determined to shed the la > t drop of your blood , rather than suffer a traitorous comb-nation of rich

      assassins to make this kingdom a perfect hell to the mass of its inhabitants , uiidt-T pretence of protecting the rights of property , which roue but themselves have invaded , and which they will continue to invade and to violate for ever , unlrss you are protected by law against tbeir eternal machinations . Talk of the rights of property , ii . deed ! Would any of the upper or middle classes dare to meet iue in a pullic discussion on the ri g hts of property ? No ! they would burn their fingers first . They will intrigue ; they will conspire ; they will defame and

      calumniate ; they will starve and at-sassinate ; but ihey will never argue publicly in support o : * their homicidal systems . They dare not ; they know that ihey dare not , because they know that their systtin » of legislation and commerce are based upon the wholesale robbery and piecemeal murder of their victims—the working classes . If 1 had a daily newspaper , supported as their newspapers are , with the same facilities for propagating truth that they have for propagating falsehood—would their infamous prints continue to impute to the Radical

      body desi gns of public and private spoliation ? It maybe they would , but if they did , nothing short of physical force would prevent me from instantlj calling public meetings , and demonstrating to those meetings that the upper and middle classes are now robbing the producers of more than two hundred millions a year , in const-quence of their usurped monopoly of law-making . Wh y do 1 not do so now ? Why do not other Radicals do so ? Because we have no public press to propagate our

      viewsbecause we are poor—because we have no meaws of defraying the expenses of public meetings—hecause of these and many similar reasons , we should ouly ruin ourselves by the attempt , without doing any good . Because , in short , we cannot do so without having the means which the possession ot a well-estabhshed daily journal implies , and because were we to make the attempt without such means , we should be only exposing our characters and lives to a remorseleps race of literary assassins in the pay of the destroyers of our country .

      Once mor e , my friends , let me reeommend perfeet union and perfect organization amongst yourselves as your only sheet-anchor ; and put no trust in ihe upper and middle classes , until the j have first conceded our just rights , without bloodshed or violence of any kind . Yours , &c . BR 0 NTERRE .

      T , he coiisuqutnce ot this was that theptisonerstruck at the policeman , not knowing him to he an oflic-er , and in revenge no doubt for the ast-ault of which he had been first guilty . In this case , tliwefore , it was clearly proved that the policeman ( Marsden ) was tjbe h ' rxt assailant , and that whatever violence the prisoner might use at that time , wa * only in selfdefence . This charge , therefore , was passed over in silence by the magistrates . Not one word was said respecting it in any way , either approving or condemnatory of the conduct of the policeman Marsden , who , evidently , gave great provocation to the prisoner . Neither did the Bench so much as

      announce that the fir . » t charge of assault against the prisoner was not proved . They proceeded withoutsay ing a syllable in reference to the first charge , to ' the investigution of the second . It appeared that a . ter the disturbance , created by the drunken policeman , bad subsided , Md-rsden , in company with two other policemen , came back to the place ; and the prisoner standing in the stwet , Marsden went to him ^ and asked if his name was not Saxon , and whether he had not seen the affray that had taken place a short while previously . Saxon answered in the

      affirmative , to which Marsden immediately replied that he must go along wirh him ; and , with the two other policekuen , took him into custody , withoutassignirjg any reason for their conduict , and , giving him , in reply to his interrogatorien as to the reason why they had made h ; iu a prisoner , no ansvrer , except that " it would be time enough to tell him to-morrow why they had taken him . " The man was reported to have resisted the attempt to bring him to the police office , and in consequence of that resistance , a second charge of assault waa instituted , which was supported by the three policemen and a watchman . The charge was , that the prisoner , in going to the police office , had thrown one policeman on his back

      , and had violently kicked another . This on the other hand was positively denied by three witnesses , who saw the affair from beginning to end , one of whom was a very respectable tradesman ^ named Blundel , and another was an intelligent man in hi » employ , both of whom stated that the prisoner was an eutire stranger to them , and that they had been actuated by no other motives in coming to give their testimony than a desire to see justice done to the prisoner ^ who , they considered , had been niast savagely used b y the police / They denied that the prisoner hud either kicked the one Policeman or thrown the other down , and accounted for the policeman ' s fall b y stating that it was in

      consequence of having ^^ to pasa some steps , against which some of them stuiiibled . Notwithstanding this evidence , and also the fact , which Was clearly prayed , that the complainant had committed the first assault , filr . Darhton Lupton / the mouthpiece of his coadjutors , Messrs . Baines and Grace , gravely ^ informed the ^ rtsoner , that for the as * sault which he had committed upon the policeman , he was fined 20 s , and costs ; or , in default of payment ^ was to he committed to Wakefield House of Correction for one month . The announcement

      was ! received in the court with ap . evident feeling of astonishment ; aud siiet waa the interest felt iu the case Hy Mr . BJundei , ( the gentleman who had Qome to gite evidence on- behalf of the prisoner , whom i he stated he had never npoketi to in his life before ^) that , on behalf of the prisoner , be begged to know Tram the Bench whether the prisoner could not appeal to the Quarter Session ? .

" Will it be credited in England , in the

We scarcely think it can—yet such , alas ! is the fact !
