      MANCHESTER ATTEMPTED MASSACRE- ' T / KTTh'K . FROM THE WHIG VICTIM WHEELER , TO FBABGUS O'CONNOR . Tbaworidii myeoBniiy , and to do good my religion . " J » AISK . Mr Dear F * a * gus , —© wing to the varjom report * in drcnlatfon , metbiaks job irill like to have the plain iaei > from old Wheeler himself , -which are sa follow : — Abort ft » If r * * > ^ S * taid& 7 , Jose tbe 5 th , letornint home to dianer , I fomnd oar friend * from Oldham , waiting in Tib-street , udis » fewatmttea I

      proceeded with them to the plaee of meeting , intendtng j » joob M thing ! -were settled to leave them in the HaU , and retain to my labour . On arrriring at tbe < nd of Ottfaam-rtreet , a procession of Forresters wot going , by , and which , of comae , delayed our pro- . « e » oo far ten or fifteen minute * , during which time a& TriffVn ?" , whom I do not know , often nrged xu to posh forward ; bnt myself and a man by the name of Jabujon , and Mr . Smethnnt , of Oldharo , determined after tbe affray on Wednesday , that nothing should be offered on the part of the Chartista to aerre as a pretext to disturb the peace .

      While the proeetsion remained , I stepped into PioeadQly , and was hailed by some of oar friends that asked me , " who were the parties that had taken the Hall ? " for they beiieTed the money had not been paid . A peaon replied " Mr . 3 iahon had taken it , bat did sot pay for it" They then asked me to go back and borrow the money from some friend , as they had not then wherewith to pay for it I told them I bad promised to accompany Hz . Smethurs * and bis man to the Carpenter ' s Hill , and I could not think of- J&ing back without fiat performing my promise . The answer was , " Wheeler , you can go and open the Hall , and the Ban will take your word until such time as you ietch the money , which will not be more than half an hour . " This I agreed to do . The Forrester ' s procession had

      fey this time all moTed by , and we proceeded along Piccadilly and Portland-street , at the end of which we vera stopped by reports that the brutes were at the end of Carpenter ' s Hall , and had been running Charles Connor , no doubt to bludgeon him . After a few minutec bait , during which Mr . HsJbon came up , and I wished Jehnson to go with him to open the Hall , bat he said stop till we get a little farther . We again proceeded until we came near the canal bridge , iaBavid-street , where a number of people was returning ran the Hall with Tarious reports that caused an instant bait , —same of the reports went to state that special care must be taken of the baud , as the vilUins were determined to break evsrj instrument . They , therefore , deemed it advisable to withdraw the band ,

      aad likewise the females who formed a part in the procession . Ihiring the confusion , occasioned by the aboTe reports ,, myself and a few friends made the best ef our way towards the Hall , leading the procession behind . We were again stopped by the crowd , and while there pausing , an individual said " If the Hall was opened , all would be right" I then perceiTed Mahon at my elbow , who said to me " come on- " We proceeded along the pavement bat a short distance when I saw the infuriated scoundrel * flourishing their fcudgeooa is a fiend-like manner , over their heads ; and in the next moment I saw a TilUin whom 1 fcelieve to Us Finnagan , pointing to myself and M . ahoz > . 1 said " Da you see that Finnagan pointing us out " Mr . Mahon said " Never mind him , come on . " Mahon

      bad now stepped a-x or aeven yards in adTance of me , and tu in the next in * tact attacked by six of the ruffians who Btepped out of the main road for the purpose . It was but the work of a few seconds when I again distinctly saw the same TilMn whom 1 fcelieve to be Finnagan pointing from Mahon to myself , ao doubt a signal for their attack upon me , for no sooner was it given than three of those who were belabouring Mahon , left him and came to me , when they , with six others which had come out of the sain road , gating nine is number , fell upon me , and in an assassin-like manner aimed seTeral blows

      at me , when one stepped from amongst the rest , and with a blow felled me to the ground . The moment I was down , » ne of th § brutes exclaimed , " Poll ofThis hat , and let us hare a fair slap at the old b " a bare bead . " This they did ; and bating taken it « ff , they drew it in the air , shouting at the time , as if in triumph : they began to beat me over the head ana body , which did not end until they considered I bad & swfiiciffncy to deprive me of life . I attempted to regain my walking-stick , which fell from my hand when I was first knocked dawn ; but one of the Tillains saw me , aad kicked me OTer the elbow , and by that means wrenched it from my grasp .

      Earing finished me , as they thought , one of the ousters exclaimed , " Hell tell no more tales in the Star ; " and one , more fiendish than the rest , while I Jay bleeding on the ground , gave a jump asd upper-cut with it , which inflicted a very deep incision in the back part of my head , at tbe same time exclaiming , ** At , na ma dbtttL , " of which words I hare since learnt the meaning to be , " Your soul to the DeriL" After fM \ I was taken from the ground , but by whom I know not , for it was dangerous for any person to so fsr sympathise for me -, and I was therefore transferred from one friend to another , until we arrived in Qranby Bow , the blood flowing copiously frem my head all the While .

      From this time I hare but a Blight recollection of what took place , until I reached the Infirmary , where there wen sereral more waiting to get their wounds dressed . Tbe surgeon immediately came t » me , and said , "This mam must not go home to-night , " and ordered me to be washed , dressed , and put to bed , which was done accordingly . Too mnek praise cannot be given to Mr . Furaiford , tbe house surgeon , for his kind attention to me night and day , and to whom my wife and four helpless children owe a debt of gratitude , for the saving of my life . It was net until the Friday following that he p ' roaooneed me oat of danger , and on Saturday he kindly offered me to return home , which I readily accepted .

      And now , my dear Feargus , I am in a fair way of woovery , trusting it will not be long ere I shall be able io take my part with my fellow-labourers in the great cause of democracy , and to convince the tools that 41 club" law cannot alter truth aad justice , is the sincere desire of The Old "Veteran , ( A * H'Bouall calls me , and I now will adopt it , } And yours truly in the cause , J . Whezlee . 8 , Whittle-street , Manchester , June 2 » th , 1 S 41 .

      P . 8 . 1 hear the villain Finnagan does not dear baring told me to " Prepare to meet my God , " but aid it was but a joke . Such jokes had nearly deprived me of life , and left my wife without a husband , and ay children with » ut a father . And as my labour is their only support , 1 fear the New Poor Law' Bastile would hare been their lot , which I dreaded more than meeting my God . J . W .

      MR . O'BRIEN OX THE ELECTION MOVEMENTS . Lancaster Castle , June 22 nd , 18 U . MT DBAS Bo-wmas , —I see by the Northern Star of Saturday last , that the Editor has promised " to reason with Mr . OBrien , " 4 c . &c , in his next number , —with a fiew , no doubt , of reasoning you , and me , and all who think with us , o % t of our opposition to the new pro-Tory ChartU : heresy . I hope he will not do so . 1 hope he will better employ his v&lnable time and ta ipT't 31 I tope , instead of vainly endeavouring to © antince me that black is white , and that Chartism is not the antipodes of Toryism , he will endeavour to get tbe country to act , at the approaching elections , the part we hare both recommended—the part to which we all stand pledged by the Manifesto of the first

      Convwfiao—aad which has already received the sanction and pranused . iupport of innumerable public meetings , et no one ofvlodi did any Ciartist leader , great " or sjnail , entr dare i » prvpouTid the ixfanurus policy fchainxg the Chartist body to the chariot wheels of either faction Whig xrr Tory ) to siceli their triumph at the expenct of ear own degr a da t i o n , and , as it were , in mockery of our CW * politi cal impotence and nonentity . By following up bis own excellent adrica , and tbe country ' s excellent resolve , to create a nanenal representation by tbe show of hands' suffrage at the coming elections , the Editor ol the Star may ev e n yd effect a world of good for us . By reasonirg with me in favour of pro-Tory Ch artism , be will effect none at all ; for I promise him before band , through you , that his reasoning will have so more weight with me , than mine has had upon

      In Ml mode of dealing with my letters , and in the ' few comments he has appended to them , I see much to O&mirt , and much to regret I admire the frankness and promptitude with which be has given insertion to opinions adverse to his own , ( and that too , a t g r eat length , and involving the inconvenience of a second dition , ) I admire this unequivocal manifestation of his lore of fair play ; I also admire his deference to public opinion in subjecting bis own dogmas to that tribunal , and consenting to abide by its award . I admire the complete absence of egotism , personality , and dictation , which characterise ! his few remarks , and , above all , I admin the friendly feeling and spirit of good fellowship with which he has set my opposition . All those are goodly features not often found in editorial controversy , and for which tbe Editor of the Stir ( however be may have behaved towards others ) is entitled to wty best thanks , at any rate , as regards the

      present subject in dispnte . Bat I regret tkat , in esti mating tbe comparative o * tfU of my opinion and his own , be afegritt * tfirt to regard mine a * only that of & ^ jjm& * i& , and bis own as that of the great jMtfgdljjy gEsifcB Chartist public . "To this I demur im tot * . I fjgjj-Jl&aX his opinion on abe point at inue between aa / gSt- tbe opinion » f the € &artist pobUe . Ideny that wjifcl call the n * w" pro-Tory Chartist heresy" is the * j £ abliAhed faith of the Chartist body in general ; an * J most vehemently protest against his covert attempt to isolate me from the oBgregation I ctUm Kamnunjoa with , by not only exhibiting mv opinion ^ that of an individual separatist , fcst also making J % i * ppear in the invidious light of Aogmatiitag to » jyotber Chartists .

      independent opinion , bnt I know that it is also the independest opinion ef thousands of the best Chartists Ml over tbe country—of * mea wb . o are as incapable of being dictated to by me , as I am of taking my opinions on trust from them . I will bet the Editor of the Star what be likes , that he could not get five Charter electors in Brigkton to vote for a Tory , merely to pat out Captain Pechell , although almost every man of them would rapport a Chartist candidate against even Captain PtchelL There is an example in the South . Now , take one in the North .

      There are four candidates in the field for Preston , two Tories , via : —Parker and Swain , and two Liberals , viz : —Sir Q . Strickland , and Sir H . Fleetwood . About a week ago , tbe four gentlemen were waited upon by a deputation of four persons from the Chartist Associa tion , to be tested as to their opinions , touching extension of the Suffrage , release of Chartist victims , recal of Frott , Williams , and Jones , &c fcc Well , tbe result was , that the Tories would give no pledge in fav » ur any Chartist demand—they thought the Suffrage " toe nscft extended already !"—that Frost , W i llia m s , and Jones , were "justly punished ]* tc—and the other Chartist victims " treated as they deserved , *' < kc < kc The Liberals promised to go as far as Household Suffrage , the Ballot , Triennial Parliaments , 4 c , and to vote for the liberation and restoration of the Chartist victims . Upon this a public meeting was instantly held , at which 13 , 000 people were present ,

      including all the principal Chartists of Preston , and their opinion taken as to the course to be followed . The result was an all but unanimous vote of both the electors and non-electors present , to support the Liberals and ke ep out the Tories , if possible !! What will the Star say to this ? I will bet the Editor what he likes , that not ten Chartist electors will support the Tory candidates at the Preston election , although there wereagood Chartist candidate in the field , he would have all thenon-el&ctora , andaveryretpectable minority , if not a majority , of the electors . Here are two striking instances of the error of the Editor of the Star , in supposing that the policy he recommends is sanctioned by the Chartist body , in general . I have given him two ; but I could as easily give him twenty . His other errors I shall notice next week , when I have seen what be baa got to say . Yours , * & James B . O'Brien .

I implore the active Chartists to unite , and in this , the eleventh hour , to give our enemies a drubbing , and scout every man from their ranks who would attempt to destroy the influence of each other in the good 7

      cause . Aow is the time for every good Chartist to prepare himself for the coming struggle ; and when the elections are over , we shall be able to turn our attention to the liberation of Messrs . O'Connor and O'Brien , and escort them into London with at least 150 , 000 men—not so much for them personally , as to show the attachment of the people to the principles for which they have suffered : if so , we shall soon have the Charter .

      Coventry . —A handbill was pretty freely distributed about this city , announcing that the Right Hon . E . Ellice would address the electors of this city at six o ' clock this Monday ) evening . The Honourable Gentleman made bis appearance from the balcony of the Craven Arms Hotel , at the time specified , accompanied by a good muster of shopocrats and manufacturers ; and we should think there could not be lees than two thousand working men present . This Poor Law Whig Member made three ineffectual attempts to address the people ; and , while so doing , his friends in the room held a secret conclave , and advised him to rallv tbe town , to drive his opponents before them . This , however , was more easily talked about than effected . He was from six o'clock till nine making innumerable efforts , to speak ; but only able to articulate , audibly , the word Gentlemen" each time .

      BimnwoHiw Election . —Munt * and Sobolefield are in the £ eld on the " Liberal" interest . AS it 18 termed , and Richard Spooler stands fortft ftB the Conservative Candidate . The -nails of tbeAown are literally -covered with bills from'both parties ; one of then , signed Thoa . Attwood , informs the people that they are now about to receive the benefits of the liberty which they have achieved , namely . PBC 8 PB 8 JTT . Poor Tom , he'll find it is ^ no go . The Chartists are awake , and are determined to start two working men for the show of hands .

      Meetim or Elkctoks . —A meeting of . electors , called by placard * was held on Tuesday Jast , at Bindley ' a ( late Beardsworth'e ) Repository , for the purpose of hearing Mr . Spottier state hisiBolitieal creed . He was oloeely questioned by Mr . Thomson , on the suffrage question , and deolared ikimself opposed to any further extension . Alderman Weston , Messrs . Douglas , McDonnell , and others , who are favourable to the return of the present members also took part in the business . Mr .-George White addressed the meeting also , although the chairman , Mr . Alston , at first refused him an bearing . He denounced both factions , and showed that whether a Whig , lory , or " Liberal" was returned , they would equally oppress the people , and exposed the folly and deception of those who talked about an extension of tbe suffrage .

      Carlisle . —A very active canvass is now gotag on for the Eastern Division of the oonnty . In addition to the old Members , William James , Esquire , of Barrick Lodge , and Charles Howard , Esquire , son of the Earl of Carlisle , and brother of Lord Mocpeth , there ib a William W . Stephenson , Esquire , of Scaleby Castle , who it appears is a high Tory . The general opinion is , that Mr . James will be rejected by the freeholders of the Eastern Division , as he is looked upon as the enemy of the farmer , being in favour of an alteration in the Corn Laws , and a thick and thin supporter of the present Government . He is , moreover , a cold-blooded M

      althusian , who would starve the people to death by the accursed New Poor Law . On Saturday last , the present Members for the borough , William Mar-Bhall , Esquire , and P . H . Howard , Esquire , issued addresses to the electors , calling upon them for a continuation of their support . A Sergeant Goulburn is talked of coming forward in the Tory interest . The Chartists are actively engaged in forming committees , and using every exertion to bring forward a Chartist , who will legally contest the borough . Should a coalition take place between the Tories and the ChartisU , there is a great probability ef pulling out one , if not both , of our present Members .

      Worcester . —Mr . Robert Hardy is m the field here on Universal Suffrage principles . We give the following from his excellent and manly address : — " la announcing myself a candidate for the representation of the City of Worcester , I do so without having consulted any person , or having been solicited by any party . As I have always considered canvassing disgraceful to the candidate , and insulting to the electors , I shall neither degrade myself nor insult you by asking any of you which way you mean to vote ; and as I shall not expend one shilling more than the law compels , I shall leave the choice entirely in the hands of the electors , which is where it ought to be . I shall now give my opinion on some of our national affairs , both in Church and State .

      My religion I take from the Bible , and that alone , therefore my Church is never in danger ; and I cannot find , in any part of either the Old or New Testament , any authority for man to make a religion for himself , or a Government to make a religion for the nation . I , therefore , consider all national religions anti-ChrisUan in principle , and all history proves them to be decidedly bo in practice . My politics I take from the same source as my religion . The Bible tells me I should Jove my neighbour as myself , and to do unto every one as I would wish them to do unto me : this command iB as binding in all national transactions as it is in the affairs of private life ; therefore , he that professeB to believe Christianity , and denies his neighbour the same right in making those laws he is bound to obey equally with himself , only proves that he disbelieves what he

      professes , or doea not mean to practise it . I eay , the right is , or ought to be , in the man , and not in the property j I , therefore , wish every man that has not been found guilty of crime to have a vote . I object to all wars , and to standing armies , as the working tools of tyranny and oppression : one-half of what is expended to keep up these hired bands for the purpose of destroying their fellow-men wonld be sufficient to give the whole of the rising generation a good moral and scriptural education . I am opposed to ail taxes on articles of consumption ; property alone ought to bear all the burdens of the state . " The Chartists of this plaoe have determined that the Solicitor-General , late Sergeant Wilde , shall not go unopposed , and have invited Mr . George White , of Birmingham , to tell him some of his evil doings .

      Newcastle . —At a public meeting of the electors and other inhabitants of Newcastle , held on Thursday , the 17 th , Mr . Byrne , in a very eloquent speech , moved the following resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Sinclair , and carried unanimously , namely , " That the present weak but wicked administration being no longer able to govern the country , it behoves the people , when thus appealed to , to mark their sense of the tyrannical , foolish , and hypocritical course pursued by the Whig government , and to use their best exertions to thrust them from their bad empeum , and to prevent their return to power until it becomes useful to the people / ' Mr . Mason moved the second resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Crothers , and carried , namely , " That Jas .

      O'Brien , Esq . is a fit and proper person to represent this borough in Parliament , and that the Chairman be authorised on behalf of this meeting to request Mr . O'Brien to become a candidate for the suffrages of this borough at the ensuing eleotion . " Mr . Mason very beautifully eulogised upon the talents of Mr . O'Brien , and his attachment to the cause of truth , and showed the benefit which would be derived by the middle classes and industrious classes in sending such sterling characters a 3 Mr . O'B . to represent them in Parliament . Mr . Fain lough moved the third resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Bruce , and carried with two dissentients , " That the meeting cannot find epithets sufficiently strong to repudiate the cowardly , brutal , and bloody conduct of

      the Whig ministerial clique in hiring bludgeon-men to enforce their unreasonable and treacherous arguments at the lecent meeting in Manchester . " Thanks and three cheers being given to the chairman for his conduct in the chair ; three cheers for the Charter ; three cheers for O'Connor , O'Brien , and all the incarcerated and exiled patriots , tbe meeting separated about half-past ten . The Council of the Charter Association meet every Monday evening , at eight o ' clock , in their own Room , Chancellor ' s Head Yard , Newgate-street , instead of Tuesday evenings , as formerly . Mr . Turnbull , of the firm of D . France , and Co . booksellers , foot of Butcher Bank , was duly elected treasurer for the election fund foi the return of Mr . O'Brien to Parliament .

      Banburt . —The Whigs are quite chop-fallen , and are driven to their old trick of hurling calumny aud misrepresentation at their opponents . They are certainly "hard up , " when they have no other chance of making their way , except by representing Vincent as a physical-force man , a denouncer of the shopkeepers , traders , &o . ; while the whole country know that Vincent never either countenanced violence or offered the least insult to the shopkeepers . Yet we have the pleasure to state that Vincent stands unscathed , and can smile at the imbecility of the clique who oppose him . Men of Banbury , do your duty , and shew the factions that you are " up to the mark 1 "

      BAB NSZiir ? . —Various efforts are making by the emissaries of the Messrs . Taylor to induce the men to return to work , but no satisfactory arrangement having been made with the committee , they very properly continue to stand out . We hopo they will do so , and that the country will support them . HYDE-Serious Riots bt the Hired Irish Bludgeonmen . —In another paragraph , we have detailed the brutalities committed by the hired ruffians of the Corn Law " Plague" at Stockport ; but , from the information we have since received , it would appear that Stockport is not the only place where these " worthies" are attempting to

      " bludgeon" the people into their views . At Hyde the outbreak has oeen much more serious . It originated shortly after a meeting , on Friday evening , at which an Irishman named Trainer delivered a a long and abusive lecture on the evils of the legislative union . This fellow denounced the English as enemies of old Ireland , and urged his hearers to obtain their liberties or die in the attempt . The day after , Saturday , the Irish employed in the construction of the Manchester and Sheffield Railway having received their pay , assembled at different public-houses , where they partook of liquor until intoxicated , then marched in the streets armed with picks , pokers , spades , bludgeous , and large pieces of iron , shouting as they proceeded , " Hurrah for U'Connell and Repeal—down with the b—y English . " Theyassaulted every person they met . andmany

      were wounaea ana Draisea very severely . Their attacks were indiscriminate on men , women and children nor did the houses of the inhabitants escape , but many of the peaceable English had their houses broken into , themselves assaulted , their windows and furniture destroyed- The police did their duty in tbe most active and praiseworthy manner , and they were ably assisted by Capt . Clark , R . N ., of Hyde Hall . A person named Patrick Callaghau , who seemed to be their leader , was taken into custody , and has since been committed for trial . However , the English were determined on revenge , and in the heat of the moment forgot that the law in this country is yet enough to vindicate their wrongs and protect their rights . They assembled in large numbers , proceeded to the part of the town chiefly inhabited by Irish , broke their windows , destroyed

      thefr furniture , and beat the original assailants on them and their property . The magistrate abovenamed exerted all his influence to prevent the riot proceeding . He ran among the mob ; he promised every exertion should be made to bring to justice those who had been guilty of violating the law ; and he threatened that any . of them who should be known to commit any violence , either to the persons or property of the Irish , would share a similar fate . His influence was exerted in vain , for during Sunday night and Monday , almost every house in the town which was known , or could be ascertained to be occupied b y an Irishman , was attacked—the inmates beaten , furniture destroyed , doors and windows broken , and in some instances the floors pulled up . The appearance of the town occupied by the Irish presents a complete wreck , and

      the damage done will fall heavily on the Hundred . Thus the Irish have reaped the harvest they were sowing for their fellow-townsmen . They have done incalculable mischief both to themselves and their neighbours . Nor can the conduct of the inhabitants who partook in the outrage be excused . They ought to have left the authorites to punish their assailants b law , and to have acted on the excellent and judicious advice of Captain Clark . In the course of Sunday , Monday , and Tuesday , nearly forty of the rioters have been apprehended , fourteen have been committed for trial , several have been bound ever to keep the peace , and others have been summarily dealt with . There were no military in the neighbourhood , but two troops of the 8 th hussars left Manchester on Tuesday morning , and are stationed within a ehort distance of the town . At the period of our last advices , all continued quiet .

      STOCKPOHT . —Defeat op the ** Bioodies . " —On Friday evening last , the Irish O'ConneUites began a row in this town of a like nature to the Stepbenson ' s Square proceedings . The attacks made upon the English were retaliated , and the Irishmen were beat everywhere and on every occasion . The Association Room , Bomber ' s Brow , was guarded on Sunday , in consequence of the threats of the Repealers . On Monday afternoon , the Chartists of Stockport were determined to try who should have possession of the walk : a fearful exoitement prevailed throughout the ( own , Messrs . Bairstow , Doyle , and Co . were surrounded by men determined to protect them from the attacks of the

      O'Connelmes , as they went to the Association Room ; and at every street crowds issued from all parts of the town to join the great procession , which reached from nearly the bottom to the top of the Hillgate . When the procession arrived at the bottom of Bomber ' s Brow , the Chartist speakers were hailed with deafening and enthusiastic applause , which caused I the " bloodies" to quail . Mr . Doyle lectured to a most crowded audience on the Corn Laws . The repealers did not attempt any interruption , well knowing they would have been soundly thrashed if they had commenced any row . The authorities having found that the Chartists were not to be put down by the Whig hired tools , have issued a proclamation requesting all parties to be peaceable .

      LEEDS . —Borough Election . —We understand that the nomination of candidates for this borough , will take place on Woodhouse-moor , on Wednesday next , and that the poll will be taken on the day following . STALETBRXDGS . —In consequence of the serious riots which occurred at Hyde , on Sunday , the magistrates of Staley Bridge requested the Chartists to postpone their lecture and discussion on the Corn Laws , which had been fixed for Tuesday evening , to a future occasion . The Chartists , ever ready to evince their love of peace , law , and order , at once consented , and the crowds of people who filled the streets leading to the chapel , being informed of the postponement , wenl quietly home . The magistrates paid all the expenses attendant on the postponement , and too much credit cannot be given them for this very prompt and yet conciliatory effort tot the maintenance of public peace .

      FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Thursday Evening , June 2 ith . This has been a barren week , as regards any movement , b&vb that of electioneering . The lads are all of them working hard , and with honour to themselves . Last night , Mr . W . Villiers Sankey addressed two numerous meetings ; and , in the Tower Hamlets , the Fox got a good run , which ended by the Chartists cutting off the brush . This makes the second run this week , and all were up at the death ., From Finsbury Tookb has bolted , leaving the field open to the old representatives .

      The various local elections which have taken place this week , have proved that the Whigs aud Tories are united against the people . This was more particularly developed in St . Pancras , where the two factions joined and defeated the popular party in the election of district commissioners of paving in the Southampton locality . The elections throughout the Metropolis for Members of Parliament come off next week . The nominations for Marylebone and the City of London are expected to be made on Tuesday next ; and in the other Metroplitan Boroughs on Wednesday or Thursday , so that next week will be a week of action ; and the men of London , it is hoped , will be up and doing .

      GENTLEMEN , —I am called upon by the unanimous voice of avast portion of your body , to offer myself at < a Candidate to represent your Interests in Parliament at the approaching election . I had not anticipated that you would confer upon so bumble an individual as myself so high a honour . I had hoped that this preference would have fallen to the lot of one of those Gentlemen , who , possessing qualities so superior to my own , are willing to serve you . But as you have thought fit to place me in this proud position , you may fully rely upon the exercise of my best exertions , if elected , to

      regenerate our sinking , our falling country . Gentlemen , your choice has given the lie direct to the falsehoods propagated by the rimes and Mercury , the two Whig organs of Leeds—namely , * that you had discarded me for the part I took in the late Election at Nottingham . " It lias proved that I still live in your confidence ; that you have not changed your principles , as has been charged upon you by those calumniators who seem to regret exceedingly that you have thrown off the trammel * of their party ; that you have commenced business on your own account ; that you have opened your eyes to their duplicity ; that you cannet forget the proaises made and broken during the period of their oppressions , and especially those during the agitation for " the Bill , the whole Bill , and nothing but the Bill , " that it was only a step , and that bo

      soon as by your aid they got it they would go on to the completion of reform , and to the consummation of Universal Suffrage . How did they redeem their pledge \ Why , so soon as they obtained their pet measure , they turned round upon you and declared that reform had gone far enough ; charged you with being in poverty aud rags—said that you had not a Shilling of your own ; that you were never satisfied ; that the Reform Bill was a " final" measure , and that you would rob those who had property . With a bold front they informed you that you were too ignorant , aud consequently unfit , to possess the franchise . You were wise enough and prudent enough while lifting the Whigs into power ; but as Boon as they were up , they kicked the ladder down , and there below you must remain , unt il you erect a ladder for yourselves and apply it to your own elevation .

      The same faction , by a new cry of" Cheap Bread , " and " Monopoly or no Monopoly , " intend again to delude and betray you into their meshes , in order to proceed onward in lowering your condition still more , that they may compel you to continue to compete with foreigners , who , by comparison , are untaxed , while we are taxed to an unparalleled degree . They have unhesitatingly declared that their sole aim and objects are to lower the price of our goods , which can be done by no other means than lowering wages . A leading Member of the body , in his report of wages on the Continent , states that at Bonn , on the Rhine , the wages are only fourpence halfpenny for twelve hours' labour ; and before we can successfully compete with them , wages

      in thiB country must be much lower ; because onehalf has to go inUaxes : and when they can make no profit by your labour they may give you a few days or a few weeks grace in the bastile ' before sending you to rest in your graves . The Poor Law Act was passed with the positivo intention to' compel the poor to live on a coarser kind of food . Continue the Whigs in office , and you will soon have none at all . And why thi » yell of no monopoly" now 1 You must be aware w ilh how small ceremony the Whig Government dismissed the mighty delegation of the Cora Law League , Who were treated with scorn and indignity by the very men whom they are now , Bpaniel like , raising such a tumult from the "Land ' s End to John . O'Groats" to keep in office .

      And have they given any public pledge to repeal the Corn Laws ! None whatever . They do not intend it ; they are themselves landed proprietors , and areas much opposed to the repeal as any of their more honest opponents . Their end and their aim is to enforce the New Poor Law , the Rural Police , and the full measure of continental centralisation ; in fact , to uproot the last vestige of the Email remnant of liberty remaining to up . Had they been houest in any beneficial declaration , they would have commenced the work of economy , retrenchment , reduction of monopolies , and the eradicating of every oppressive measure , when they took the reins of Government . Had they , instead of making puny reductions of taxes , part of Mrhichhad lately been imposed by themselves upon principles of the highest refinement , viz ., of taxing the taxes ; had they then

      Untitled Article

      eommeaeed and carried oat real retrenchment when they were backed by large majorities , instead of making false professions when their " occupation ' s gone , " when they have sunk down to a minority and can effect nothing;—in akott , had they been virtuous and honest men , they would now , instead of being held in scorn , contempt , aud derision by every benevolent and intelligent being in the country , stand upon the proudest pinnacle of fame , enjoying the prayers , the blessings , and the gratitude of all , and would have been handed down in the pages of history as the greatest benefactors of the human race . What a mockery it is now to tell us what they would do for us ! and how deplorable it ia to find so many who endure so much from their misrule , from

      ignorance and self-interest , following and supporting thevilefaotionlmoreespeciallyasitiajiel' -evidentthat what it has promised would constitute an evil—an injury instead of an advantage—to themselves . Those men ( the Whigs ) gave twenty millions to themselves and others , as the price of our fellow-creatures—as a remuneration for the restoration to liberty of those human beings , whom they had stolen from the coast of Africa ; and this while tens of thousands of white slaves remained , and still remain , in a worse condition than those black slaves who have been emancipated . - They have added largely to the public burdens

      during their period of office , and that , too , while we bad all but perfect peace ; the almost only foreign skirmish being against the inoffensive Chinese . And for what t To compel them to pay for that prohibited intoxicating article opium , which had been smuggled by our merchants into their ( the Chinese ) country . Certainly , war upon such abhorrent pretensions never took place since the creation of the world . While tens of thousands werasfcar ving , they granted to the Queen Dowager one hundred thousand pounds a year , and two or three palaces to reside in , making the old lady ' s income above above £ 2000 a week .

      Thanks to our stars they were not permitted to give to the Queen ' s husband more than £ 39 , 000 a » year ; they were resolved to give him £ 50 , 000 . They paid within a short period , about £ 2000 to carry through the country an army of blue unconstitutional troops to irritate instead of conciliate the oppressed people , who were seeking their rights in a more legal and constitutional manner than they themselves agitated for place and power ; and for less grave offences than they themselves had committed , they imprisoned , tortured , and murdered the people's best friends . They gave £ 70 , 000 to build palaces for the Queen ' s and her husband ' s horses , £ 30 , 000 to educate a whole people , and between £ 60 , 000 and £ 70 , 000 to support three Commissioners ,

      with their millions , expressly for the purpose of eradicating every constitutional principle , in order to oppress , degrade , inault , aud starve the unfortunate poor . Had their course been as rapid and progressive onwards to right and justice , as it has been backward to merciless cruelty , we should have been the happiest nation upon earth ; we should have been vieing with each other who should add most to the happiness of the whole , and every one might have lived under his own vine and fig-tree , none daring—none desiring to make him afraid . Instead of this , their accursed system of legislation has inspired only irritation , party rancour , envy , malice , and over-reaching of one another ; and while the poor are in terror of the

      Bastiles and Rural Police , the rich are alarmed for an approaching crisis , in which life and property will tkt dadangered , and which may result in revolution and anarchy . While our best artisans are being engaged by thousands to remove to the Continent and other countries , where they can pro * duce goods much lower than here ; while many thousands are leaving our shores on speculation , to find a home and a resting place for themselves and families , and are employed in many instances upon machines of our own manufacture which have been sent away by licenses granted by the Government ; —this Government have , on the very eve of a dissolution become advocates of , not a R « peal of the Corn Laws , but of a fixed duty on all coruimported ; while the League are for a total and immediate repeal . The consequence is that our trade and com * meroe are moving as rapidly from us into other

      countries , as they formerly moved from them to this country ; while the middle class whoar # rapidJysinking down to bankruptcy , seem as blind as beetles to therealcause ; and likeBedlamites , are pertinaciously workingout theirown destruction . They adhere to the greatest monopolist s , and cry down with monopolies ! while to all discerning men it is quite evident that skimming the surface will only add to our misery . We must commence at the root , and make a perfect cloarance ; we must take the Crown Lands from the hands of private individuals , and appropriate them to their legitimate purpose . The Church property , which , since the Eighth Harry dispossessed the Catholics of it , is , to all intents and purposes , public property , would , under any honest Govern ' ment who advocated liberty of conscience , have been appropriated to public purposes ' , and all would then have worshipped in their own way unrestrained and untaxed , to support any other .

      The standing Army and Rural Police must be abolished in time of peace ; salaries , pensions , and places , must be economized . The debt contracted by the Whigs and the Tories combined , and mainly augmented by the same parties , to support the wax of extermination in France , and miscalled the national debt , ( but which in reality is the debt of the Aristocracy—of those who pledged their property and their lives in support of the war ) , —this incubus must be removed , aud we must prove our superior intelligence by lowering the amount of public expenditure below all other governments .

      Whenever this is effected , and not till then , can we have an advantageous free trade ; then may we safely call for a clear stage and no favour ; then with the essential accompaniment Universal Suffrage can we add to our own and to the happiness of the world ! Much as ihe labourers of this country have been abused and calumniated they are more virtuous than any other class in the country , and unequalled in ingenuity and industry , by any people on the face of the globe ; and as soon as justice is extended to them , they will rise in morals , possess comforts of which they have been debarred , and a new era will be commenced . Then Jet the faction which now governs be driven from power and we are safe ; none other can carry out their treasonable plans—none else can , carry into effect the continental system of coercion and centralization . Put them again at the head of a majority , and the most perfect system of slavery is established .

      Reciprocity is the great and fundamental principle of free trade ; houco , when it is established , the whole of the protective import duties must be abolished , as wellou foreign manufactured goods as upon foreign grown corn ; awd with our present burdens , may I ask what would be the consequence 2 I bog to give you a short list of a few of the many attioles of manufactured commerce , and the duty whith must be paid upon them on being imported . Wood turnery 30 per cent . ; tiles SO do . ' ; pack thread 25 do . ; starch £ 9 idi . per cwt . ; snuff 6 s .

      per lb . ; crown glats , £ 8 6 s . 8 d . per cwt . ; blacking £ 3 12 s . 6 d . ; bricks £ 1 2 * . 6 d . per thousand ; sheet glass £ 10 per cwt . ; paper Sd . per pound ; calf and kid tanned skiud , 9 d . per pound ; clocks 25 percent . ; watches 25 per cent . ; worsted yarns 6 d . per pound ; baskets 20 per cent . ; women ' s boots and shoes 30 s . and 36 s . per dozen pairs ; men ' s shoes £ 2 14 s . per dozen ; hats and bonnets of straw , from £ 8 3 s . to £ 6 6 s . per dozen ; hard soap £ 4 10 s . per cwt . ; iron bars 30 s . per ton ; straw plat , 17 s . per pound ; books 25 s . per cwt .

      Were these articles and others to be allowed to be imported free , we should be inundated with foreign goods , and the home manufacturers and workmen driven to starvation . Now , many can only see cheap bread , but they must also have cheap imported goods , often ready to fit on to the body . The most splendid furniture , gilded frames , gloves , silks , ribbons , hardware , tutlery , < fec , are being imported daily with these heavy duties ; let them come free and ' we are done . Women ' s gloves pay 4 s . and men ' s do . 5 b . per dexen pairs ; millboard , brown paper , and scaleboard pay ( C 3 s 9 s . per cwt . ; gold leaf , 3 s . per hundred leaves ; and waited brown thread 18 s . per dozen pounds .

      Throw off these and we become importers instead of exporters , and our workmen most seek shelter in foreign countries , or Etarve at home ; while those who are the most noisy brawlers for " no monopoly " would be the first to suftr ; and unless they will take council and go to the root at once they must be involved in ruin . Give every man a voice in the eleotion of his representatives—establish universal right , Universal Suffrage—it has existed in this country ; we ask for nothing new—establish equal 1 &wb and equal rights —and our nation will again flourish—our industrious population will speedily possess every means of comfort ; their love for their dear , their native land , will then return ; esteem and . respect for one another , and good will to all , will abound in every class—in every heart—and replace animosity and

      rancorous feeling ; while party spirit will vanish from the land . We 6 hall rise from the existing system of devouring one another , not only to live who can . but to the good old plan of live and let live . Gentlemen , should I be returned to Parliament as your representative , my best exertions will be devoted to the great cause of universal redemption—to that line of-action which , in my humble judgment , is best calculated to ensure the greatest possible happiness to all . I shall oppose any Government who does not extend the fullest protection to every human being within their dominions . I shall oppose , in every possible way , every attempt to establish monopoly m trade and legislation . My cause is the cause of the whole people . My only aim Is universal good . I am , Gentlemen , . .

      Your devoted friend and humble servant , L . PITKETHLY Huddersfield , June 22 , 1641 .
