      GLORIOUS CHARTIST MEETING . COmitUd last week from , pan * of room . ) A numerous meeting-was held , on Monday , December « th , at the Toim Hall , Souihwark , the Hich Bailiff in B « e chair . The Tewn clerk having read ~ the notice «•»«§ tbe meeting , Mr . BtACKMOBB moved the following resolution : — " Thai it is tbe opinion of this nneBng tbat distress prevails to an alarming extent , uhleh we attribute to elan legislation &s evinced by the restrictive laws which make food dear and employment scarce . " In tbit resolution he cordially agreed ; the great © Til of this country was class legislation , this had produced the eril of a monopoly of food , aad bad engendered misery tad crime throughout the land .

      Mr . Killick seconded the resoratton . He mi very sorry It had cot fallen into abler bands , bat so few of tba woridng nw » we » electors that they had selected him . Great distress existed throughout the country ; it m felt eren in their own borough , at their own homes ; and reformers of every grade ought to unite to restore its causes . Universal suffrage , and nothing else , was the remedy to be adopted . ( Great cheering . ) Mr . Spites . Fellow workmen : stares in the land of your nativity ? I congratulate 70 a upon your present meeting , and 1 also congratulate yon that the High Bailiff has so booonrably acceded to the -wishes ef the zequiaitienists , in calling this meeting . In the resolution I most cordially agree . The distress which exists is not only local bat general ; it extends throughout the

      "WbMe of the working population , and the small shopkeepers in the United Empire , tnd this is truly attributed to the cause mentioned in the resolution—class legislation . Since the Charter has been propounded we have bad many quack doctors proposing their nostrums and remedies to remove this distress , Some hav » been for the abolition of the Poor Law Amendment Bill ; others for a removal of the monopoly on food , but few , very few , amongst those who call themselves liberal and benevolent men , have gone for the true remedy . They have battled with the effects , instead of destroying the cause . There is not a person present , in whatever sphere of life he may move , that can lay claim to be » just , or an honest , man , if he dray the people their natoraJ xighta . A repeal of the corn laws , unaccom panied with other measures would be a decided in juryto tbe working classes . The Com Laws were enacted

      by the House of Commons . The same description of men are sti'J there ; you must , therefore , first turn out those men , and put other individual * in their place , who would do justice to all , without iDJury to any , A Government founded on tbe principles of _ Universal Suffrage wcuto immediately reduce the hours of labour , and thus give time to the working class to cultivate their minds . They tell us we aie tx > ignorant . I have often been told we should have no objection to give the Suffrage to such men as yon , but would you give it to sweeps , to rogues and thieves ? bat 1 tell them that this class of society is produced by class legislation , which has engendered poverty , misery , and crime . These men boast of their benevolence , talk of their humanity , and yet , for expressing my opinions , I have been deprived of employment Mr . Spurr then detailed a ease of hardship exercised towards himself , which drew down cries of shame from the andienoe .

      The resolution was then put , and unanimously carried . Mr . Apslkt Pellat said , I have attended to the remarks made by those who preceded me with a great deal of interest I feel convinced that there is a large amount of intelligence among tbe working classes , and th&A ft only needs a proper direction to enable yon to remove those evils which have caused our present distress ; aad , though I cannot go bo far as some of your friends , wfll you refuse the assistance which I and my friends proffer yon 1 If you will listen to the amount of support which we c&n afford , we will state it ; but if we must go for the whole Charter , we must bow to your decision , and bid you good morning . ( Cries of " € k > on . ") I know that the wealth snc * importance of

      the nation is caused by the industry of the working classes . I know that 1 owe my position in society to their exertions , and that I shall only remain in comfortable cireamstaDoes so long hs they are properly remunerated for their labour ; it is by the tyranny of their manufacturing and other oppressors that the people have acquired tyrant vices . I know tbat had the people their rights , neither Stonrges Bourne's Act , nor the present manner of electing the Poor Law Guardians , would be allowed . One of these measures emanated from flie Tories , and the other from the Whigs . I am in fcvour of Household Suffrage . ( Cries of " no , ne ; we we not to be duped . " ) I would go a step further , and have Universal Suffrage , with an educational test ; and , if this produced prosperity , I should have no

      objection , step by step , to proceed still further . At the meeting that was held here last week , I pledged myself to assist in getting up this meeting . 1 was pleased to see a friendly feeling txisting between paities who had hardly ever met before . I pledge myself to exert aH ay influence and enerey in acting with yon , bat I cannot go the whole length of the Charter . I cannot support the last clause of the address . Mr . Prilat then read a number of extracts from Blackstone , Locke , Bnrleigh , Montesquieu , and others , in support of liberal principles , it was his opinion tb » t if we had a virtuous puiiamTOt , w « should have a vhtueas people ; but It took a virtuous people to m&ke a virtuous parliament . For this reason be was happy to see Infant and Sunday

      schools progressing through the land . ( Cries of No humbug . ) Mr . Pellat then read extracts from a work called * ' American Conformity , " written by Thomas Spencer , M . A . a vicar of Hinton , near Bath . The * ork was on Church Iteform , and it advocated a division of the income of the clergy to £ 200 eich , which would be a saving of four millions , ¦ which would pay all Poor Bates and Church Rates . He also advocated the Suffrage for aO who could r * ad and write , Vote by Ballot , and no canvassing for members ; this system to extend throngh every office of Church and State . To this extent he was prepared to go . It w » with reluctance that fie adepted the concluding sentence in the Address , but for the sake of unanimity he would stretch a point , and move the whole Address : —

      " May it please your Majesty , —That we your Majesty's snbjects , inhabitants of the borongh of Sontbwark , having taken into consideration the distressed state of the country , beg to approach your Majesty for the purpose ef laying before your Majesty our opinions as to the cause of such distress . " We big to apprize your Majesty , that there are in all parts of the country thousands of industrious persona who can scarcely obtain a sufficiency of food to snpport ttieir existence , and that many axe dying from a want of the common necessaries of life . This distress is not confined to one poition of tha country or one branch of trade , but that the tradesman , tbe small agriculturist and manufacturer , are aliie on the brink of ruin ; that by an unjust system of legislation restrictive laws have tkis st&ti cf affairs

      been enacted , ¦ w hich , have produced ; that by thfi operation of the Corn and ether restrictive laws , the trade , manufacture , and commerce of this country , have been gradually declining sway , until many of our-manufacturers feave been compelled to close their ¦ workshops , thousands of quarter * of wheat hare rotted in the bonded stores , -whilst the people have beeD starving . This state d things , we are of opinion , would not have happened had the people been fully and fairly represented in the Commons House of Parliament . They , therefore , humbly pray your Slajeaty , ¦ with a ' view to the immediate relief of your Majesty ' s people , to instruct your Majesty ' s ministers immediately to convoke the Parliament , and to convey t » it your Majesty ' s gracious wish that the Corn and Provision Laws Bhould be as once taken into conBideratiun with a view

      to their repeal ; we also humbly pray your . Majesty , at the same time , to instruct your Majes ^' s ministtrs to introduce into the ComiBons" House of P-irJiawerit a Bill for the enactment of the principles contained in the People ' s Charter . " / Cheers . ) Dr . BEDFOBD—It had been said , by certain parties , thai if ever a meeting cf the -working classes "was again held in that hall , that they wouliiave to call in the aid of the police . I am perfectly satisfied there is no need for that The authority of the High Bailiff was sufficient , without the aid of tbe p ' olica A free press was a blessing to a country . What would they have known of the Duke of Wellington ' s reply to the Paisley Imputation , but for the aid cf the press ? He had ,

      ¦ when he entered the room , the same objection as Mr . Pellat to the conduiinj ? paragraph of the address , but he would waive that objection ; he -would rather unite with them for the ¦ wtole , thin they -should not obtain th £ r rights . Great distress pervaded the country , which was produced by class legislation . '; and while that exists , I believe there can be no effectual remedy applied . If the darter were carried to-morrow , I believe that propertr frould have a preponderating influence . ^ Cries of "No ; " "Tbe Ballot ") His meaning was , that it would compensate for the superiority of numbers in the working classes , which wsuld brirjg all to an equality . He had gre&t pleasure in seconding the address .

      Mi . Paek . es—1 congratulate you , fellow-workmen , npon the fair omen that the middle classes see the necessity of a union with yeu , for the destruction of class legislation , that evil which had fettered the energies of both classes of society . As a working man , I give great praise to onr excellent High Bailiff , and likewise ' to the High Constable of Bright Dn , fo ? acceding to cur ¦ wi sher , in allowing us tbe use of tke Town Hall , shewing that they would not be pasties to burking the pro-. eeedinga of working men . I stand here , an evidence ef our want of votes . I am a tailor , and have been out of work seven months . We ; have in . London 15 , 000 journeymen tailors , out of ' this Dumbei 9 , 000 are out of employ , and the 6 000 a * e only partially employed ; and the 9 , 000 out of employare , oontinnally knocking at the doors of the 6 600 , and en- j

      deavouring to supplant them . To such a lamentable j state of things have we been brought by misgovern- j Tr&T >\ - I have long admired the conduct of Mr . Pellat in his resistance to church tyranny , and I am happy , So hear him state that be will strain & point to unite i with us : let us show by our conduct that we can , appreciate this ; listen fairly to their arguments , and j then decide . Many of the middle classes have an idea ; that , because we have no property of our own , we are j anxious to divide theirs . I repel the idea ; we do not ; met thtir propsrty , but political power , to enable us . to protect our iabour ; grant us this , and thi . uld any- 1 thlag oceur , either by foreign invasion , or by the , doings of an axistocr&cy , whica should jeopardise the j lives or property of the middle classes , the working j a » would be tin first to fly to their rescue . ( Great i cSMdng ., '

      Mr . Ww-sos—I am highly gratified to think that tbe objection which my friends entertained to the last clause in the address was so slight , that it was waived almost without hesitation ; I think that the best clause in the address , ( Great cheering . ) It gives you the power to exercise your rights freely and fully ; you cannot even get two men to think exactly alike , therefore , you must not he surprised to see a alight difference exist . I admir e tbe principle * contained in that clause , and hope that Universal Suffrage aad the Ballot will speedily become the law of the hod . ( Tremendous cheering . )

      Mr . Buppt Bidlet—Bir , seeing the station you hold in society , I , as a werking man , thank 70 a for tbe position you have taken an thU occasion . Fallow workmen , with the addnss , so far as h gees , I perfectly agree . I have been these last few weeks an eye witness of the distress which prevails amongst the agricultural labourers of Suffolk and Essex , and I emphatically say , that something must be done for their salvation from their present destitute condition . Mr . Ridley then gave an account of the tyranny lie bad met with during bis tour , and the manner in which he was dogged by tbe police ; yet be , tbe David of Chartism , without even his sling in his hand , had dared to meet the Goliah of class legislation . ~ The Town Clerk having read the address , it mi put by the High Bailiff , and unanimously adopted . Mr . MaynaRd proposed , andMr . MOE . Tos seconded , that the address be presented to her Majesty by the member ! for the borough .

      Dr . Bedford explained that there would be no levee before parli&mect opened -. it was therefore entrusted to the High Bailiff , to be immediately sent by him to her Majesty , through the medium ef the Secretary of State . Mr . Matnabj ) : I am entrusted with performing the most important part of the business of tbe day , the proposing the adoption of the National Petition . I , an hnmbie individual , have been chit-fly instrumental in calling this meeting . Tbe address which you have just agreed to , was the united production of the tiro parties , and by your passing it you have sanctioned my conduct , but I at the same time , told them that the National Petition must be adopted , that I would not give way one iota ; give us Universal Suffrage , and we will speedily Bca ' . Ur all the bad laws to the wind . Mr . Maynard then read the petition , and moved its adoption . Mr . Jea . ns . in a few words , seconded tbe adoption of the Petition .

      Mr . Hsakne : ( Sec . to the Anti-Corn I * w Association . ) 1 rise for tbe purpose of moving an amendment , aad for tbe purpose of putting you in a good humour , I will read it Mr . Hearne then read a abort petition , stating that great distress existed in the country , which was occasioned by the Corn Laws , and petitioning for their repeal , and the enactment of the document called the People's Charter . It was with some difficulty he had conceded the point of embodying the Charter in his amendment , but he had done it for the Bake of unanimity Mr . Apslei Pellat reconded the amendment . It agreed with the address and contained the substance of the original petition without going into details .

      Mr . M'DouaLL , I intended to have addressed you at an earlier period , bat am happy to think I did sot . It was with difficulty I sat silent so long and saw the address passed , making the Corn Laws paramount , and dragging tbe Charter in at the latter end ; it was putting the effect before the cause , the cart befere the horse . He had sat silent during the passing of the resolution and address , but be was not going to see them cajoled out of the grandest principle of aU . If the middleclags were desirous of a onion with the working cla&s , of burying their differences , and giving the representation equally to the poor inhabitant of the cottage , as to the resident of appalace , it was well ; they would not have their petition kicked out for a matter of expediency , It vras hii opinion that the amendment was moved for

      the purpose of creating division and disunion . The Corn Law is an effect and not a cause . They were only established in 1815 , and were opposed by the working classes of this country , opposed at Ptterloo , even to death . They are the offspring of a greater monopoly—the monopoly of the suffrage ; the Reform Bill gave power to the middle class , but still it w * s class legislation . If the suffrage was confined to tbe -working classes , It would still De class legislation ; but you are for Household Suffrage ; you are afraid of the ignorance of the working classes , why then appeal to their ignorance to support you ? Why ? Because you find that they are in possession of a power ; of a public opinion at least equal to yeur intelligence and to your votes . Give them , then , tbe vote and they Will give von puWic opinion . We are determined not to battle

      with fcftvet ; we will not agitate for a repeal of the Com L % v ? b ; we have given up an agitation still dearer to our hearts , that against tbe Poor Law Bill ; we have merged all in onr demand for Universal justice ; we claim a vote for alt , it matters not whether it is the Archbishop of Canterbury or his shoeblack . If we wanted to rob you , we should demand enly votes for ourselves as you have done ; but we demand justice for & 1 L We are willing to receive your assistance In this ; you have more time to devise , more money to support the struggle than we have . I see many here who are sincere as free traders , and who are , I believe , as sincere in Chartism as myself , but we mast not h&ve onr petition altered , As one of the Execntive of the Chartist body , I was inftramental in drawing op that petition , and the allegations contained in it are correct

      The High BalifT then put the amendment , which received tbe support of only one band , for the contrary , a whole forest . On the National Petition being put it was aappotted by fcvery band iu the meeting , save a couple of very lady-like looking ones ; the result was received with tremendous cheers , which lasted for some time . Mr . Mainard moved , and Mr . Parker seconded , " That the petition be presented to Parliament by Messrs . Humphrey and Wood , and that they be instructed to support its prayer . "

      aldermak Humphrey , M . P . —I rise to inform you that although 1 agree with some parts of the Petition , yet there are paragraphs which I cannot agree with , which in my opinion are not true , therefore I cannot support its prayer . ( " You will not long be M . P . for Sonth-srarit . " ! Dont think to frighten me , I have remained upwards of three hours and patiently beard you , but I cannot support a petition , one of the allegations of which complains of packed juries , i" True . " ) I believe it is not true . In my opinion the juries of this country are pure , are above suspicion . ( Laughter . ) Would not any one of yon sooner be tried by a jury of the aristocracy than , by a jnxy of your own class ? ( "No , no- ") One part also claims a Repeal of the

      Union with Ireland . I remember what took place in France at the revolution . I remember the anarchy produced— t" By what ?")—by the same system as you Chartists , t Great uproar , hissing , 4 c , during which Mr . Spurr advised them when they had given vent to their feelings to be as still as death j Mr . Humphrey—If you hwi the Charter it -would not be long before you were as still as death . I dont care for your disapprobation , if you will hear what I say aftervi aids . 1 beard one of your speakers advocate dividing Um land into small farms of five or six acres—( " We mean to pay for it"i—I dout dispute that , I do not dispute that a man maj maintain » wife and five children comfortably , and have ; £ 25 to spare for manufactured goods ; but what is to b * come of those children ? Can he divide his five

      acres between th < : m ? They have as much right to at as you . I represent a large constituency—( cries of " we are not represented!—and if I do not express their sentiments I will resign . You may not agree with me ; but only reflect . You that can read , go home and read your Bibles . 1 Great confusion , and cries of " you are one of the educated . " " The Hon . Member , " Ac . ) If you attended to its precepts you would not act as you do . Dr . M'Bouall—I am not astonished that you will not hear Mr . Humphrey ; I am ouly astonished you have heard him so long . Ii he had been giving his reasons "why he could not support your petition , it would have been wrong to interrupt him , but 1 would ask him if the best way to get a body of men to listen to you , is to insult them . If it would not be better to speak to them in a tone as though they were reasonable beings . It -would gratify him to hear the arguments which a member of Parliament had against the petition . It \ ras such a novelty to hear them .

      Mr . Humphrey—Very few dare stand before a body as I dc— 'cries of "and insult them" }—and inform you of my objections to the Charter . Each of the paragraphs in the Petition , wonld take twenty-four h » urs to consider , and yet it was all to be forced into them at once , and delegates from all parts of the country to support it . ( Great uproar , after which Mr . H . tried in vain to § e » a hearing . ) Mi . Matsaed begged leave to withdraw the resolution , calling upon the members for the borough to support the Petition . Mr Pakkksseconded the motion . Mr . Goobfellow moved a vote of censure on Mr . Humj-hrey , -which was seconded by Ruffy Ridlet , and carried with the three groana . Mr . MaI'NaRD moved that Mr . Wood , M . P . be instructed to present and support the petition . He had , through indisposition , been compelled to quit before the close of the meeting .

      Mr , P . 0 GEE . S seconded the motion , which was carried unanimously . Mr . Mainard wished to give praise where praise was due . Mr . Humphreys bad called this a packed meeting ; the HiRh Bailiff thought it was not a packed meeting : he had kindly granted them the use ef the Hall , and promised to do so on future occasion ! , even if the nqtds-. tion was not so numerously signed . He proposed a votb of thanks to tbe High Bailiff for his kindness in so patiently presiding over them , at bis advanced age , daring so long a meeting . The motion being secjnded , was carried unanimously . The High Bailiff thanked th « tn for the very flattering manner in which they had treated him ; and though he conW not entirely agree in their petition , yet he was willing to do any service which laid in his power . , I H . I '

      The marked attention and respect paid to the venerable gertleuian contrasted ttrongly with the mxt proceeding , -which was three groans for Humphrey . Three cheers were then given for the Charter , for O'Connor , for Frost , its ., for the Executive , and for the Slar , and the meeting , "which was more crowded than we ever witnessed at an election ; dispersed , hi&bly gratified with tfipiT triumph-

      THE STONEMASON'S STRIKE . MEETING IN LIVERPOOL . In accordance with the placards numerously posted in Liverpool and the vicinity , a numerous meeting took place ob Wednesday evening week , at the Queen ' s Theatre in that town , for the purpose , as the bills notified , of laying before the working classes and tbe public generally , a fair , honest , aud ungarbled statement of the grievances which the stonemasons , recently engaged in the erection of tbe new Houses of Parliament , have experienced at tbe hands of a cruel and heartless individual , in the form of the human race , named George Allen , who , in his capacity as foreman , had acted in a more barbarous manner than the Egyptian task-masters of old over the enslaved Israelites .

      This meeting was therefore got up by a committee of the trades in Liverpool , in unison with tbe working masons , to remove any erroneous impression which might have been imbibed by the public as to the correct cause of this strike , which had no connection whatever with wages , but was purely a matter of right against might , or in other words , a struggle against cruelty in its moat hideoua and unnatural form . The meeting being advertised for eight o ' clock , to suit the convenience of mechanies generally , long before that hour an immense crowd had collected at tbe doora of the Theatre , which were opened about haH-past seven , and before the time appointed every part of the house , pit , boxes , gallery ,

      und ttige , were crowded , presenting as animated a picture of tbe " unwaBhed , " but hardy and oppressed artizana , aa the aristocrats of tbe land could possibly wish to clap their eyes upon . Despite of tbe inconvenience which numbers , however , mutt have experienced from the pressure in various parts of the Theatre , we never attended a more orderly meeting in Liverpool , or , in fact , any other part of the country , bo that a posse of the foot guards , blue , who were scattered about in various directions , bad a sinecure birth of it for the evening , having nothing to do but listen to the wrongs which men of the same sphere in life as themselves , as to circumstances , were endeavouring to avert

      Shortly after the hour appointed , Mr . Glaister , a working mason , was unanimously called to the chairthree cbeexa following bis appointment . He begged tbe indulgence of the meeting , in commencing the business of the night , as that was tbe first time such an honour bad been conferred upon him ; therefore , it could not be expected that he should be quite perfect in tbe business he bad to go through ; but , under all the circumstances , be craved their indulgence . He read , in the first instance , the placard calling the meeting together , which was done solely to remove the erroneous impressions which had emanated mischievously from a portion of the London press . ( Hear , bear . )

      He trusted , when tbe honest truths were fairly laid before them , without tbe least exaggeration , tbe stonemasons of London would exercise the sympathy and assistance of the trades of the country generally . The first strike , on tbe men ' s own responsibility , took place in the works of the new Houses of Parliament , unconnected with wages , or any general strike whatever , but entirely on account of the tyrannical treatment which , as a body , they had experienced under the foreman of tbe works , named George Allen . Having quitted their employment , they considered it an act of justlse to themselves and the public to lay before them a full statement of the grievances which led them to abandon their work .

      The Chaibman here read the printed report of the men ; which is too lengthy for the present , notice , but suffice it to say , it contained unfeeling enormities committed npon the working men , which we considered heart-rending , as the sufferings of the labouring classes , are , and have been , had no place in tbe annals of the nineteenth century . A few of this tyrant's proceeding bowever , should be banded down to posterity , aaan indelible stamp of infamy upon the character who perpetrated them . In the first place , it was a high and unpardonable offence , for a man employed nnder him to

      visit a dying mother , wife , or child , if time was lost by such visits , and accordingly nothing short of dismissal was the consequence , with the brutal epithet in tbe bargain ; of " Go , and die with your mother and be d—d . " A pump was locked up in tbe yard to prevent the labourers , at low wages , from getting water because a certain public house in tbe neighbourhood o'ight to have been patronised , —so that men who could not leave the works except at stated hours , might also famish with thirst amidst the burning lime , and ' be d—d . Another piece of unheard of cruelty was also pamttrated by this monster in human shape—a man

      broke his leg on the works by accident , and being anxious to resume his employment as soon as possible , be attempted to do as much as he could before be was aa hale and as be had previously beeni but no , thank yon , this was not to be sanctioned by this stoneyhearted despot—he might hobble elsewhere , bat not there , and also go and be d—d fox all Georga Allan cared about the matter . Tbe heart , bowever , sickens at the facts recorded in the printed statements of the men , and we will therefore proceed with the business of the evening in connection therewith-After reading the report ,

      The Chairman informed the meeting that any further Information which the working classes might require wonld be readily given by the Committee at the Union Tavern , St . Thomas ' s Buildings , Liverpool ; but he had no doubt the statement put forth by tbe masons of London wonld be credited , and , if so , was it not an unparalleled act of cruelty on the part of this man to discharge aa individual for taking a last farewell , of bis dying parent , or witnessing the last breath escape the Hps of an affectionate wife , earrounded by her offspring 1 If such inhuman proceedings were tolerated by any body of men , who witnessed such inflictions , the best feelings of human nature would at once be eradicated . He did not consider , however , that there was

      another employer in the whole universe who would ant in » similar mannet ; and tbe men were therefore justified In enforcing , if possible , the dismissal of this petty and diabolical tyrant before they resumed tbelr labours ; and should the meeting , and the working classes generally , think with him , this ill treated body of men , who were now idle , would be amply protected and supported in their laudable endeavours . The Chairman concluded by reading a letter from Colonel Thompson , who was delivering a lecture on the Corn Laws in tbe same building the preceding evening , stating his sorrow that he should not be able to attend tbe present meeting , as he was compelled to leave Liverpool on urgent business the same morning . The Chairman was loudly cheered on resuming bis seat

      Mr . Davis ( journeyman printer ) rose to move the first resolution . He observed , in commencing , that all who were present had heard the revolting details connected with the mason ' s strike iu London , and the explicit manner in which the chairman had delivered them ; and be assured the meeting that the body he represented that night were too well informed to be hoodwinked by representations which were not founded in troth . —he should , therefore , submit to the meeting the first resolution , which he read as follows : — " That this meeting cannot sufficiently express its indignation of tbe conduct of George Allen , foreman to llessrs . Grissell and Peto , as exhibited by him towards

      the masons lately employed at tbe Houses of Parliament And that it further enters its most solemn protest against tbe recognised right of this man , or indeed of any man , to trespass npon the private judgment abd sacred ground of domestic obligatien , by a series of petty and annoying acts of aggression towards their fellowmen , which have unhappily characterised this strike in particular ; and this meeting fully approves of the covase pursued by the stonemasons of London , and further pledges itself to use every exertion in aiding and assisting them towards a successful termination of a struggle , involving , as it necessarily does , the interests of eur fellow-operatives throughout the empire . "

      Tbe reading of this resolution caused a great sensation in tbe meeting , after which Mr . Davis resumed He said it Was a fearful duty for bis brother operatives to reflect upon the condnot of such a man as Allen , and they would be wanting in their duty if they did come forward to support the oppressed ; and he also should be unworthy of the station he held in society if be did not raise bis bumble voice against such a brutal oppression . He ( the Bpcaker ) had suffered from tyranny in another shape , in bis own profession , and he therefore felt more keenly the oppressor ' s rod , which the stonemasons had experienced . When a man bad finished his labour , and the sweat from his brow bad ceased , no duty to his employers , on that day , remained to perform—his own private or political pursuits should

      be open to him—he rendered his labour ia the market , and received an acknowledged equivalent , but coercion was no part of hie contract ; and therefore be bad just reason to complain , as the masons had done , against such tyranny . ( Long and loud applause . ) Tbe strike of this body of men was a novel one , and doubly so by the heroic and honest manner in which they bad laid their cause before the public . Tbe duty of master and man should be reciprocal , but the wiseacres on tbe one side state , tbat should one of their menials dare to express himself in public , after tbe hours of labour , be must be thrown upon the' wide world to get a living how he could . Such was the case in some instances in bis profession , but the character of Allen , tbe foreman of the masons , exceeded all others . He , in defiance of all the rules and ties of hiBCommon nature , bad prevented , if possible , the soottiingembracesof adying mother and the last consoling wish

      of a fond and affectionate wife . What could be mere Bacrad than such ties as these , and what more natural than that the author of such revolting acts should be held up to public odium ? His ( Mr . Da vis's ) heart recoiled at the recital of such a history as the Chairman bad road of Allen , who was the foreman to Messrs . Gtrissell and Ptto , tbe contractors for tbe New Houses of Parliament , Nelson ' s Monument , < fcc . But , be would ask , ahauld tbe fame of the renowned Neisou be raised one single foot above the earth under such tyranny as bad been related , namely , tbat no workman should be absent to consiga his own mother ' s or wife ' s remains to its cold and natural tomb ? Heaven forbid it ; he would rather such a monument should neve * exist , than this tyranny continue . The speaker then took an elaborate view of the case iu all its bearings , and concluded an excellent speech , repleta with sound sense and reasoning , to enforce the claims of tbe stonemasons upon a candid and discerning public .

      Mr . Jones , shoemaker , came forward to second the resolution , and was loudly cheered for several minutes . He considered he should be wanting in bis duty to bis fellow men , were be not to proclaim , with all the lungs he possessed , AlUn to be a wretch of the worst classification in the scale of mankind . He again repeated that be was &n inhuman monster , and all the details 0 ! his conduct , hitherto uncontradicted , were sterling proofs of the astounding fact . In a long and excellent speech , he reiterated tbe crimes of Allen , but attributed all the misfortunes and injuries which betel the working classes to their great backwardness and their want of energy in nut going heart and

      band with each other . Allen told some of bis men , and good men too , to take up their tools and walk ; but if the meu would only unite like tbe masters , many , very many of tbat usurping class would also be compelled to to take up their tools and walk . He next repeated the grievances under which the men bad laboured under this monster in the form of man , and said if they suffered themselves to be oppressed any longer by such tyranny , they alone were to blame . The speech of Mr . Jones , which was full of sound argument against tbe rod of the oppressor , was replete with sympathy , and three distinct rounds of applause followed him to his seat on the platform .

      Mr . WILLIAMS , journeyman printer , moved the second resolution , namely : — "That this meeting ia of opinion , from the conduct pursued by Messrs . Grissell and Peto , they have rendered themselves reprehensible in the highest degree , inasmuch as they have sanctioned the course of annoyance and petty tyranny on the part of their foreman , Geo . Allen , thereby taking upon themselves the responsibility of bis overbearing and tyrannical proceedings towards the masons employed by them ; and further , in their refusing to investigate the charges brought by the masons against the said Allen , after giving a distinct pledge to that effect " His appeal to the feelings of the meeting was powerful , and he pictured in their true colours the wretch -who held the unenviable situation of such a man as had been described .

      Mr . Robinson , a working man , we understood a shoemakor , seconded the motion in able terms , and followed in equal deprecation against such men as ' Allen , who , if permitted , would grind to tbe earth the whole of the working classes of this country who were the bones and sinews of its former pre-eminence in the scale of nations . After a long but interesting speech , the motion was put from the chair , and , like tbe former one , carried amidst cheers and lengthened applause . . Mr . M'Cabtney , working smith , next addressed the meeting , and we feel sorry that the animated address which he delivered was too long to be inserted In fall ; to be garbled , therefore , would be an act of injastice , and we therefore have but this fact to relate , that he stood manly forward to deprecate that portion of the London press which had slandered , in the worst spirit possible , the conduct o £ the masons , and such a system he contended would long continue , unless the

      people bad the choice by honeet representatives , in making the laws by which they were governed . . As the country stood at present , the working classes were treated like a herd of serfs beneath tbe despotic rod of their oppressors . Whilst he ,, however , deprecated one portion of the press , he called upon them to rally round , and support tbe true organs of independence ; he then enumerated that small portion to -which he alluded , amongst which was , the British Queen and Statesman , the DundeeChronicle , and a few other Scotch papers , and though last , not least , the Northern Star , which bad in all tried seasons , since it came into existence , proved itself the true and unflinching advocate of the people ' s rights . This source was always open to them ; and that paper consequently should receive their warm and unqualified support After strongly alluding to class legislation as the chief cause of the people ' s present miseries and oppression , he moved the following resolution : —

      " That , fran the conduct pursued and tbe spirit evinced by a portion of the London , press , those journals have proved themselves directly opposed to the interest of the working classes generally , and to the stonemasons particularly , by identifying themselves with , ami standing forward as the advocates of , the tyrannical and opprosssive capitalist , in his unholy warfare against the rights and privileges of the producer * of all wealth ; and we hereby publicly take the opportunity of impressing upon our fellow-operatives through out the empire the necessity of discountenancing and discouraging the circulation of those journals and fur ther , to exert their influence in aiding and assisting tbat honest portion of the press which has no nobly stood forward in defence of the interests of tbe labourers against the encrotthmeats of the grinding and haughty
