It was attended by Dr . Smiles and Mp . Councillor Whiteke&d , for lh « purpose of persuading the Boestonions to pitch into tho Tories througb . Sir Robert Pcsl , and to raise the Whigs again , at the expenoe of both people and Tories , through the " complete suffrage" movement . It was no go , however . The villagers were not to be done . Preparations had beeu inudo for giving them a comD ' ete route . As soon as tho two goese above named founfi out that this was the case , they dodged

      again : they gave up their *' complete-suffrage" resolution , and agreed to support the ' • ¦ . whole Charter ' resolution , plainly Eeeing that unless they did so , they would stand no chaace of . carrying the resolution they mainly wished to have carried , tho one condemnatory of Sir Robtrfc Peel and the Cora Laws . Thiir second dodge succeeded . Tho Corn-La w-condemuatioa was put first ; and theii the resolution for the whole . Charter wa 3 moved and seconded , aad carried . The i ' oHoivinii are the resolutions adopted by the meeting . The first resolution was curried , if carried at all ,, by a bare majority ; but for the second one cytry hand in tho room was holdca up . "That this meeting considers that all . restrictive duties are in themselves bad , but more especially those affscting the first necessary of life , and

      therefore views with disgust-and indignation the sliding scale of duties on Corn-proposed by Sir Robert Peel , which Las been proved to bs unjust in operatioa , ai ; d mischievous in it 3 tendencies ; this meetings therefore , pledges itself to use every c 6 j ; stitutioual means to remove a law , which for the sako of ' protecting ' a grasping and rapacious aristocracy , restricts the freedom of trade , and teuds to prevent the bounty of Providence from reaching the habitations of . the indur . * riou 3 classes . " Moved by J . Horner , and seconded by H . Titlcy . " That this mecing having seen with mortification the complete failure of bygor . e schemes of Reform ,- is convinced by fatal experience , that nothing but th » principles embodied in the People's Charter , can s-ave the nation fr ^ m utter destruction . " Moved by Mr . Elley , sccojidi-ct by Sheridan Nussey , . supported by Dr . Smiles , Wm . Brock , and Wm , Whitehead .

      PHYSICAL-FORCE MOVEMENTS . ¦ Since writing th& articles of . caution in our first edition , we have learned that in Manchester the " ExtenEion" men have made themselves quite 1 ready for an onslaught upon : the people , so soon as their violence and rabid treachery shall have furnished the" authorities" with a protest on which to make -it- . ' v- ' " ¦ : '' ¦ " - . - ¦ -. ' . ' .: ' : ; - :: ?¦ " - : ¦ ¦ ¦ ;/ . Y - '¦•¦ ¦ ' : ;" ' ' : ¦;; : ; ¦ On Thursday eveniB ^ , a lar ^ e body of soldiers , three pieces of cannon , and a large quantity of ammunition , were brought very quietly into thetown , and disposed of with as little 6 hew as possible .

      And this at the very moment- when the "League " are pouring out from the throats of their ¦ incendiary orators , the most inflammatory stuff that has ever been uttered since the Ia 3 fc Whig fever in 1830-1-2 , aud when they have a Cominittee siting- ' to arrange for a great demonstration on Kersal Moor ! What does it import ?—what doeB it look like ? Are the two factious merely watching each other , or are they secretly -playing into each other's hands , to obtain a large "thinning of the surplus population" ? We again tell the people that the times never wore more critical ; that a single

      false step now -might rum all ; that there never was ( in our time at least ) so much need for activity , firmness , and prudence as just now . The game is almost played out . The stakes are even now within reach , if we do not lose them by pui * own folly . See then that every point be guarded . Leave not a single outpost without ¦ its garrison ; but let all be well disciplined . "Peace , Lavv , Order , " mast be our lactics ; "Onward !" our deterHiination ; " Ko surrender ! " our watchword .

      If- "the " League" call a meeting upon Kersal Moor , or any where else , let the people go ; let them go iti their might—in their thoasaads—their hundreds of thousands ; let them assemble peaceably ; heiir everybody patiently ; and negative all the " riasuo" men ' s resolutions , just as they negatived Mr . Bainks at Leeds . We like to k ' . ey that instance before the people as an example ; it was done so well , so coolly * so deliberately , aud yet so uumistakeably . Such be the fate of every "Plague" resolution from this time forth .- silently ,

      peacefully , but effectually negatived by counter votes or by an amendment of the right sort , moved and seconded by men of tho right sort—hard handed fustians whom the people ¦ know . . " . ' Teach the mushroom , " upon occasion , " Chartists ^ that they must learn to follow , before they can expect to lead—that their place is in the back ground while their schoolriiasiers read lessons to them . Receive thew , of course , if they choose to como over to you ; but receive as you do , in common life , a knotvn , thovgh repentant , pickpocket , cautiously , and without trusting them .

      Above all take care to have no concern at all with their excessesv-either of speech or conduct . Leave all the honour of all the violence entirely to them . Every working man who aids iu one of their effigy burning exploits is a traitor to himself and to bis country . Let the contemptible s thus amuse their amiable dispositions in propria persona ; let them make th 8 effigies and carry them and burn them with their own proper hands , and shout for them with their owu proper tongues ; while you go about your own businessgetting the Charter and proving that you arc fit for it as well ay have a right ; to it .

      Do this , and tlie viila | n 3 will be disappointed ; all their adroit management for turning loose ' the dogs of war ' upon thtir dupes may be laughed at , and jbursucaes 3 is certain . Once more we exhort you to be vigilant . Suffer not a meeting to be held without 5 ou ; and suffer not a single resolution , " petition , or memorial to pass at any meeting where you ar 6 , jfw any . , object bot tue Chauter . Tue" League" affact now to regard the Charter as the only means of securing Repeal . Nail them to ; that . If it be so their agitation for Repeal is useless . Get the means first , that the end may follow .

      HURRAH FOR LONDON . 1 . . .. While writing , we have just received a report from our correspondent , of a glorious thrashing of the " League" at . the Egyptian Hall , Piccadilly , on Wednesday . Nearly all the London M . P . ' s were announced to attend , supported by Sidney Smith , and the whole force of the " League . " The Ghartii- ' . ? , nofwithstandiHg this array of " ihfiaentials , " determined that thvy would follow the example set by the men of Souihsvark , and soundly thrash them , whioli they did , and aio mistake . The chair was taken by W . Maule , Esq ., Churchwarden , aiid the first" j Pfoqve" resolution : —

      " That-in the opinion of this meeting , the sliding scale of Peel is unjust in principle , and an insult to the suffering people of this conntry , and we pledge ourselves not to relas : in our exertions until we obtain a total repeal of the Corn Laws ;" was moved , in a most silky , ineiriuating , spetchby Mr . Leadek , M . P ., and seconded by somo Mr . Clark . But though Leadeh is a great favpurite . as anM . P ., with the Londoners , they were not to be seduced from their allegiance by him . Mr . Ruffy RiDLtlYin a speech that does honour to him , run up the Chartist flag in the shape of the following amosidnient on the " Plague" men's resolution : —

      " Tiiat this meeting is of opinion that tho majority of 1 " 23 in tho Honse of Commons in favour of the sliding scale is a clear proof that tke monopoly of class legislation is the great cause of all other- monopolies that exist in this country ; and that we are further of opinion that no peruianent relief will be given to the alarming distress which exists until the people are fairly and fully represented in Parliament in acuordar . ee with tho principles laid dovvu in the document called the People ' s Charter . "

      The amendment was seconded by another good Chartist named Aksistrong , who " pitcHed iato" the League iii proper style . Tho creatures trkd all their possibles" to prevent either him or Ridley from b . Miig heard , but the people ' s patience and determination overcame them . The Chairman , after several attempts to cajole tho Chartists to pass the "Plague" reEohition first and their o ? m ataesdment afterwards as an : original

      resoluiicn , put it to . tho meeting ; when , out of t ' aa immense assombly , —the placo being crowded to excess , only six hands were held up against the amendment . The League seemed aghast , but wanted aa ; ain to cajole the ¦ ' - " lads" by pressing them to vote also for their resolution ; but this was " nogo" ; abont ono hundred hands were held up for their resolution , and a whole forest against it . The Chairman then declared the amendment

' ; . ; ";¦ Colonel Evaks theu rose , and in a long palavering speech , ia which he declared himself al most a Chartist , proposed tho following : re 30 lutioii : — " That this mR 8 ticg ia fully aware of tha evils inflicted by the present laws affecting the imporUtiou of com and provisiona , but ia entirely opposed to the present ministerial project of altaring without amoudvng tUsm . '' ' In both the Colonel ' s and Mr . Leaber ? s speeches the " soap" was -rery plentepusly applied j all trie

      evils of tho Corn Lam were unsparingl y attributed , id class legislation ; the Chartists were highly complimented , and great promises ' - ' made . -:., to them as a return for their labours iu tha carrying out of the " Repeal . " But "it wouldn ' t do . " Tue ^ lads" were wide awake ; and RiDLEY , in another eiequent address in which he administered a severe ca ^ tigation to the manufacturerfl for . their treatment of the factory children , and likewise to Colonel Evans , proposed the following amendment : —

      " That in the present state of tho represantati ve system ^ it is ^ useless toexpect any measure of efficient relief froai the Legislaturo , aad that this cite ; - ing do now adopt the National - 'Petition , of the working classes , and will exert their energies in its bshalf . ; ' . ; ;; . ¦'¦ _ . : ' .
