Jle had uft « n thought that a king v . ould look much more foolish without his : people , than the people without a king ; and gentlemen of his profession would look mucn more ibolish without clients , than clients would do without bar-; rL- ' . ers ; and in the same way the parsons who were *» iiamaue , so philanthropic , and so charitable i wuuld Jwk much more foolish without their flocks ' ; than the iozks would look without the shepherd ! : It was only the Do ? vning-street people who were c-miVrtable , and , as long as they were comfortable •; they did not care whether they had a nock at a »! ; They were like the fine lady , who , being tired , took ; shelter in a poor widow ' s cottage . She found herself ; perishing with cold , and saw no fire , but she saw poor perishing children around a poor cold sick i woman . She said , My poor woman , don ' t you feel ; very cold ! " " Very cold , indeed , my lady . " " Then ¦ I'll send you soniG coak , * ' said the lady . But when ] jhe go : h-r slippers on , and her feet on the fender ; iiif' .-ie a cleir nro , she rang the bell for tho butler to come .

" This wai just the . way with the gentleman in Downing-street . At the 1 time of the Kefora Bill , they put most indecentl y I on jheir banners tiie king ' s head turned upside down : - with a bloody axe , and " Reform , or tho king ' s ; head / ' written in red letters . He did not know if j they had any of these moral exhibitions of moral i power—< laughter ) -iii Scotland , but they had plenty . of them in England . You poor creatures , saidthey , you ; poor naked creatures—you poor cold fellows—why ; Uo yon staiid by and submit to Tory rule 1 Come under our standard , and we will feed yon , and clothe you , and warm , you , and make you comfortable : Louk at the position in which they are now placed " and look at the position you are placed in . If he ( 31 r . O'Connor ) had stayed in England , and if , bv : the - nabbing ' of him they could have insured the ; destruction of the causethey would have had him 1 nl rilniiiii n I l . fi U ^ l . 1 , 1 ..

      , j but he was det-ermined to hare a reserve in Scotland . before they got him and now here he -flras , rallyinK | . iiieibrces here . If the Government had had him , i wili ° at their being placed iu a proper position , they > would hare cut oifall communication with Scotland ; ; bat notv h .:- had roused the "West of Scotland , and a great pordon of this district also . Since yesterday ; week he had addressed a meeting of about 1 < M ) , 000 t on Kennington Common . The reporters there could ; judge of numbers pretty correctly ; but a gentleman ; who W £ s reporting there to-nigat , before the speak-\ ing conunenecd , thought there -were about two hun-; dred present . ( Laughtor and hisses . ) It was all j right , they should not hiss ; he would show . how it L ^ was right . It was just one of those facts with t which thev had so long deceived the public . He had i told him there were two hundred and three and a

      \ \ : : ! woman . * However , he had addressed a meeting of 100 , 000 at Kennington , he had addressed a meeting of Chartists at Ghisgaw , he had been at Renfrew on fiisds-jj Ayr on iiatnrday , and Porth on 3 Ionday ,-Tlight . At a place , the liame of which he could scarcely pronounce , he had addressed a meeting , ; where there were more present than tho whole inhabitants t > f the parish , for they came from other places . Auchterardei was tho name he thought . Ho was called bloodthirsty , though he never had been guilty of cruel conduct even to a dumb animal ; he was called a plunderer , though ho had never robbed a mortal ; a firebrand , though he had . Eotalucifer match in his possession ; a drunkard , though he never had been tipsy in his Lii . He would t « ll them what was his opinion of moral force aud . ef physical force . Moral force was the deliberative quality within , which taught the mind how to suffer , and how to endure , and when endurance became a erime ; and when moral power fails itiits legitimate object , physical force will come like an electric shock jo Its aid ; bat the man who marshals it destroys it , and the man who recommends it is a fool . He wa = of opinion that right gave arms , and that arms protected right . He did not believe , though they had their ritits to-morrow , that it would be illegal , or that it would he any crime or any fault to recomshend them to arm . And he would t » ll them whybecause the law would make them do it . If every man ' s hot ~ e was a sentry-box , aud e ^ erv man a seutiiii ;! in Iii 5 oiv . v h- ¦ u ? o , then every mm , Wing a composenr pan of the State , would have an interest Jn the mate , and his right would impose on him a aer-issity to arm to protect them . Then every man ' s hoiice ¦ -vould be hi > rtv-tle , and every man would hjear more rc- ^ pc ^ t t <> the laws from reverence , than novr from coercion . But how , in their present situation , conld they respect the laws ? WTiat did they ?^ re w hat King rvigr . ed , whether it was King , or Qav-ii , or whether there was anv Queen at all

      ( Hear , hear . ) Talk to a starving people of the tiqeen ; and when ho said starving , he meant it Cui p F-arsiiveiy , and when he talked of comfort , ho talk-.-d of it in a comparative degree . He would like to see an equal scale of comfort , not an ascending scale for the rich , and a descending scale for the lower orders . He wished to see comfort everywhere ; when the palace -was improved , he wished to see the ctiSage improved a !; = o , commencing at the cottage ami ascen-iing to the royal stables , if necessary-. ( Langhtern But look at " the position in -which machinery had placed them : he was a lover of machip-- -ry , and they would not misunderstand him . He lov- _ -d machJEvry -where it was man " 3 holidav . but he was opposed tu _ iu being man ' 5 curse . r fhey had now the competition of machinery to contend" with in the fir ^ t instance , and the competition of low | T 2 £ < .-= uezt . And what had bc-.-a the eifect among uie Easufactarers ? Forty voars ago , a man of il 0 , r > 00 . £ 2 O , fK » . or £ : w / m of real capital , was

      ¦ . considered well to do ; but these were little fellows now—thsy could not put up a roof to their cotton saantdacioiies—they tv # re not competent to oppose those greai leriaihans of wealth who , backed bv fictitious money , overstocked the markei , and made no reference to supply and demand . They went on eternally masuiacturiug j manufacturing " , maaufactnilng , whether they had an order , or whether " they had none . Tl : eir busiuess was nut whether the * y had an order , but whether labour was so ch'jap as that an order mast be profitable . They saw what they i > = 3 br % > -asht things to ; they were all starving ihemielv&s , and presently they would , not have a single farthing to bless themselves with . Thev were stopping the mills in Dundee , in Lancashire , and in Yorkshire , and it was high time for them . If the w ... rkiag classes could bear the present , state of taxation much longer , they were greater philosop hers than he took them to be . TbTey wonld never 4-ave their rights until they beeame ventriloquists ^ till ihey spoke to the Government from their bellies . The Scutch people would suffer lonjr , bnt they would not bear hunger long . They -would bear it " as long as tr-ev thought there was no possibility of getting food ; 1 st , if they thought they could get food , they : nev ^ r heard a biar irrowl louder . ( Laughter . ) When rlrela-id asked for a " reini . ssion of tithes , Paddy began I to rbink it was a fine thing to pay Lord Church and \ his own priests beside 3 , and lie demanded that the I tithe should be taken off . The Government ac' knowledged the justice of the demand , but- said l-thly could not grant it when the people were all ; raised ; they must first create peace , and then they i w <> uld give justice . They gave them the Coercion Bill therefore , Johanna " few , transport a few , and : shoot a few , but th ? y had never given them a re-• mfeiio ^ from t he tittup to thi ? moment . He did not

      fly ia ihe fae-e of the la-. v ; be asked for the law ; he was not trying to destroy the law ? , but trying to renorate ihe- laws . The laws were not just because they were dj"re hard on the peasant who shot the proprietor ' s hare , than on the squire who shot tho peasant's head . When Horn Tooke was tried for high treason , he was told that he had no right to complain of the Jury , because he had his choice of forvy-eiglit . Why , said he , you might as well give me a basket of rotten oranges , and tell me to choose twelve good ones out of it . It was said that the Coilrts ' of England were equally open to the rich and the poor . So was the London Tavern ; but , if a poor man went ia without money , would ho get his dinner ! There were two boxes—the box for th «

      , Heh man , and the black letter box for the poof man . The Whigs told the people to cry out for their rights , believing that they had the power to stille the err when they pleased ; bntaa soon as they saw that they kept up a continued cry , as soon a 3 the Convention was established , Government became alarmed , not so nrach for physical force , but that xaeV"Vould be obliged to use physical force lo pat do-A-n the moral measures of the people . They had tried moral force— nothing could be more like moral Torce thaa putting their namo to a petition—bnt there was more force in the words Universal Suffrage than in . " 000 loadtd cannons beea \ ise it would put an end to Physical Force . Universal SafTratre would destroy Physical Force ; it would

      ! soon make harmony , happiness , and plenty reign in the land . Ho haJ for five years , up to the oth - of Ay . i-ust , 1 S 38 , in the House of Commons and out of it , conducted this cause single handed and aloae , and during that time no man had ever heard him recommending Physical Force , ii ^ r had any one , during tho whole time he was skiii ' .-, been arrested , or fnnimoned , for attending any la-ietir . g ho had called , or for -acting on any advice he tad ^ jvea .

The people were called -Immoral ; whereas , if ther were moral , they would break the Government . ^ Vhy , if they abstained fronr every excisablo articlo for three weeks , Spring Rice would not have a sixpence in his coffers . Therefore thet , immoral dogs , were supporting the : moral dogs , by drinking ; . and the aristocracy by gambling hy the Stamps on cardsand dice , and other little ostras . They comd get drank and lie upon the sofa j wliere-^ , th F ° Ple &t drunk , they were paraded through the streets . Tf a rich man fell on tho streets , a pohwmaa ltfted him up and took him hometo his Own door as tenderly as ft basket of eggs ; but if a poor man fe ll on the streets , the policemau told him to get up , to go to the watch-house , and locked hiin in-there . They first knocked him down and then

      JacKed aim for falling . ( Laughter . ) These things had led the people to think for themselves ; and what ie now wanted was , to strengtheu that opinioa . The people were determined to have their nghWiu Lancashire , Yorkshire , and Glasgow " but he dii not know how they were in Dundee . He thou ^ it there wero throe great stages in agitation ^ - firstj t ^ f ja ieatJon of opinion ; second , the organization of opinion ; and third , the direction of opinion . 1 ho Gonrcntion had committed n great fault--they cemmenoted -with the last stage beforo tho second ¦ R ^ 3 perfectly finished . Th ey began to direct the opinion before it was properly organized . ( Loiid cries of hear . ) "When the opinion was perfectly organized , they would have a battle against the foes of justice and reliinon : and upon whose side would

      victory bo 1 Why , opon the side of the virtuous people . The W'higa ^ ere > begiuning to doubt about it already ; they would : be very glad to offer the people something ; but they had ao often registered tneir uetermination to have the whole Charter or nothing that they ( the Whigs ) thought it was ofMo use . As for Household Suffrage , they should have no such thing . When agitation was raised in a country , it was first combattod aud laughed at , then it was tried to argue it down , then to firo it down , and , when nothing ^ else would do , a substitute was offered instead . Though they were to . ¦ accept of Household Sufirage to-morrow . Household Suffrako , and Vaivcrsal Suffrage would be buried in the-game grave the following day . Household Suffrag e was i 1 fi

      "" v » u > gu « uw auu Luc-. uiga just wisueu tO put the extinguisher over tho people , and leave them there . There was no use going about and crying to tho people—Oh , you produce all , you are the finest fellows in the world , &c . Why , they all know that they were the producers of all , and that they had not halfenough . It was what they called in Ireland blarney . ¦ There were three olasses in society—there was the landed proprietor class , the monied -class , ar . d the labouring class . The landed aud monied classes were represented in Parliament , but the labouring class was not represented ; and for twenty * four years commission after commission , inquiry after inquiry , had been instituted on the case of the handloom weavers , but it had not come into . court yet ; and why ? because the people were not represeutcd .

      \\ hen would it come mto court ! Tsot until-they ' got Universal Suffrage . They must be like Scotchmen , who must have money honestly if they can , but they must get i ; some way . So the people must have Universal Suffrage honestly if they can , but they must have it some way or another . They had iueweerated the most moral men , and the mo . st virtui < us men , and the best men iu tho Convention . There never breathed a more amiable , a more virtuous , a more honourable , a moro moral , a more upright man than William Lovett . ( Hear , hear . ) A more modest man , or a more trustworthy man , or a better creature , there never was than poor Collins . Although the rays of the people's feelings could not enterthrough the gratings of their dungeon yet ,. as soon as they were restored , the pooplo would receive

      tnem witn open arms ; and for every indignity . which had been offered thorn , the peoplo would offer a ten-fold blessing , and a hundred-fold congratulation . ( Cheers . ) He looked on them , not as an immoral people , but he looked on tho people of the threo kingdoms as an example of morality , forbearance , and virtue . Paddy was now begiiming to rpuse himself , and Paddy was to join the chartists—( hear , hear , and cheers )—and he would be a Chartist . And when Scotland , England , aud Ireland were all united , they would put the thistle on the one side , and tho rose on the other , and , though . tho shamrock had no thorns , whoever touched Paddy would get their fingers pricked , he'd . warrant them . Paddy wasa curious fellow : he would soon hold a Sacred Holiday or a Sacred Mouth , because he would live

      on cold potatoes to carry his object . If Paddy strikes either for a holiday or anything else ,-he strikes home . ( Clu-crs . ) They had a little calm now , but they would have another moral storm ( they . saw how carefal he must bo of the Attorney-General ) that would assail with honied words and various airs of beautiful breezes , and with the most dulcet strains ) theears of a humane and philanthropic ( joveriiirierit . " Now , * ' addressing the reporters , " mind and sendthat to the Attorney-General just as I gave it you . " The Government had been entreated and had been remonstrated with . They should recollect the story of the buy in the apple-tree . If the boy had come down when he was asked , the man would not havo tried clodst and if he had comedown , then , the man would not havo tried stones . He would just advise

      the Government to yield to moral force . ( Want of sps * e obliges us " to hurry on to the peroration . ) He ( Mr . O'Connor ) had never deceived thorn—he had never deserted them , and he never would as long as there was breath in his body . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) . Ho would still persevere in the cause , ltwas a cause worthy of living for and worthy of dying for . They had made many false steps , but not one which they could not retract . He Would rallj _ them again ; he vrould rally them in thevalloVj and if they were beaten in the valley he would rally them on the mountain . He would rally them on the banks ; and if they were beaten on tire hanks ho vrould rally them iu the river . ( Loud cheers aiid laughter . ) Never would he let it cool , never would he Jet it stop , till he accomplished it b y some means or other . Ho had no interested motives in doing

      it ; it was their cause not his cause ; he had more than he knew what to do with ; he was richer than he ought-to bo ; he had enough for himself and to spare ; and be knewho would not have so much if Universal Suffrage was the law of tho land ; lie kiiew " he would not requira eo much , but it would be more secure ; he would livo more happily , .. and his time would be better spent . Then , when it was accomplished , he could say to himself , this is partly my doing . Ho wished to see the people happy ,-anJ ; ho wished to sea improvement , and lie had no desire but to accomplish that . And through evil report and good report ho would try to accomplish it . Let them call him bloodthirsty , torch and dagger-mau . " A rose by any other name would smell as sweet . " If he could make them free men , they misjht call him what they pleased . ( Great applause . )

If they said there were no more , he thought they would bo rather short of the mark . ( Hear . ) Ho was glad that Mr . O'Connor had made such & humane appeal'to the middle classes , and they would surely no longer consider Universal Suffrage such » dreadful thing as it had been said to be .

That itis : wolt known to all the world , that the people of this nation have been always most exemplary in tho faithfulobservanco of the Constitution

      inatithey havo always most religiously performed their duties ; but that they have ^ for many years , been gradually swindled out of thoir ri ghts ^ by those very men whose office'was originally instituted for the purpose of guarding those rights ; which has been- effected , solely , by their having permitted the power of choosing their own representati ves to be takeufromlhem ; which has at lengthicausbd such astate of things to be brought about , in this once happy couutry , as never existed in atiy other country on the face of tho earth ; a state of things wliich exhibits to the world a people as hardy and brave aa any under the sun , yot formiug a most feeble and spiritless nation ; a people , the most industrious and frugal , aud , at the samo time , the most poor and ; \ yrctqhed > who are told that thoy cau be saved from [ further wretchedness and poverty , only by being ^ brdudht by degrees to liv
