CORROBQRATION OF THE INNQGENT YET RELIEVING PROPERTIES OF BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS . TO MR . PROIIT , 2 i 29 , STRAND , LONDON . 19 , Lisson Grove > St . MaryLe Bone .

LOVE OF COUNTRY . NOTHING can possibly prove an Individual's Patriotism more than the efforts he is making in behalf of his afflicted countrymen . The strength and bulwark of any nation lies in the happy frames of her Sons and Daughters . " A bold Peasantry ; -our Country ' s pride , " once reduced to effeminaoy , stand a poor chance of successfully competing with the encroachments of foreign interference ^ or of domestic tyranny . In ' the pale and lanquid invalid , there is seldom the spirit to maiatain . an independent position when assailed by the insidious or threatening attacks of the Oppressor , but he seeks rather to conciliate , or even concede a point , than to resist the-infliction . of a . wrong ; thus having once allowed the iron to enter , like a wedgei by slow degrees , it was driven home , and the tottering fabric of liberty comes to the ground : The revolutions and fall of Empires prove this to be correct , arid the history of progressive indepehdence . from the commencement of time , furnishes us with the fact , that those mighty deeds of imperishable fame , which grace its pages , have been achieved only by the healthy and vigorous ; the mind partaking of the nature of the body , glowing with rational enthusiasm , has assorted its right , and the strong arm of daring achieved the victory . In Politics , every one seems to be well acquainted with tho various evils that afflict society , and yet , but few are found sufficiently enlightened or bold enough to presoribe a remedy . It is just so withthe diseiities incident to the human frame ; all can talk of and lament their existence , and . yet few indeed can be found to point out tho means , sufficiently within the reach of all men , for obtaining their removaU The extensive use of Parr ' s Life Pills has , however , dispelled the mist of ignorance ; and tens of thousands who have been cured of the most inveterate maladies are now gratefully employed in reoommendiBKtheirmore genoral adoption . ; If every family in the kingdom would keep a supply of this incomparable Medicine by them , premature old age would never 'happen , and seldom indeed should we behold in our streets the pale and haggard look , the consumptive cheek , or tottering debility ; . we should rise as a people and improve as a nation .

The people are becoming acquainted with the most important of all aubjectstheir wrongs , and the way to rkht them , by governing themselves . It is believed , by those who are well-acquainted witfi the people , that there is a greater degree of knowledge in our country than existed ia America Leforethty threw offthe yoke of their oppressor ; and he recommended a peaceful agitation as the most certain to bring abaut a lasting change —( approbation ) .
Mr . Gbassbt mentioned s collection would be mada for Mason and his associates . Mr . Holiday in coming forward was received with every mnk of approbation , and said , Britain ' s wrongs ¦ were inscribed on every page of her statute book , and every act bears testimony to tbe fact that the might ; nmltitatlB are titaisd -with comtempt , an ;! have been denominated beasts of prey by Sir James Graham , the present Secretary of State for the Home Department My friends ( said Mr . H . ) a destined storm is rising , and that storm will break every barrier which msy i > s placed in its way ; all shall be swept before it , every manacle be broken , and onr country shall be happy and free . In describing the wrongs we endure he n * s < i aot point his finger to the thousands who are literally
starving for want of food . He need not call thtir attention to the emigrant vessel leaving our shores , to witness onr fellow beings transporting themselves ' to . a happieT dime , because they cannot get employment-in the land of their birth . He need not draw their attention to the convict ship laden with transports , many of whom hid bsen ornaments to society , if the system " which is ruining our country had not led them to -commit cr * nie-s and then prmish them ics it —( h * ar-: It was unnecessary for him to point out every one -of JBrii&iaAs wrongs , for the polluted Bource of clots legislation caused them ali , und occupied the-foreground in the number of evils against "which we have to battle ; but so long as self-lore occupies the human hsart , we shall be slaves : yet when each man b « ets
a love for bis fellow man , prosperity will uttend our cansa . Till Britons are determined to be free , so long will their prayers and petitions bs unheeded acd treated with contempt In proof of this we have j abundant evidence , even in the present session of '; Parliament ; witness the deputation frum Paisley , I ¦ wisbiag to detail their sufferings to " tha hud of a ' hundred iights . " The iron-hearted Doke was proof to their cries , and had the impudence , whtu in the ? House , to say , " if any man was poor it vas his own j ¦ fau lt , acd taat England wa 3 tb . e oniy country i in the world , whtre the labouring ni ^ n coald j gain a comfortable independence by his own in- j dnstry . " Was it not enough , that thousands of our ' fellew men had been slaughtered for his aggrandise- ;
jnent , that we should be thus insulted and treated trith contemptjby Mm ? Xss , this iron soioier Is hoarding up £ oi Mmsslf a reckoning against the dry of TTrsva , "Wbsn all acconnts- « rill bs seuled . "Why need ke fi ^ ell upon one individual , when we find the whole ba : ch as ba 1 , and pay no regard to your prayers ? When thr e-and-afcalf millions of you desired to bs heard at the bar of that hense , you could not be heard ; they were too Jrasy discussing the merits of Colonial as ^ es t : > attend to "What you , or your yoar agents had got to say . Jhey ¦ "vere afraid tha tale of woe , which wonld eloquently have been poured foitb by an O Connor , a Duncan , and a IjOWery , should go forth to tlw world , and maie short their time of plunder . The cry of complaint is getting more universal among all classes of the people ,
and how should it be other wise , when £ f : y millions , and more , are yearly wrung from the sweat of the peop ' e , to support in luxury and idleness a hearties , graceless , Godless crew ? This enormous sum , by some superficial thinkers , is not thought too much to carry on the € Xpence 3 of tbe couairj . They cannot have r-.-fiectsd on the encrnrtj of tha sum . Thia am , if coiceS in sovereigns , and laid si-da by side , ¦ wou ld make a line from EdiEbro' to London , and do more than extend from the-ce to Dablin .

be laws to protect virtue , and punish crime , and there mnst be an Executive to enforce these laws , bat this Executive ought to accord with the wishes of the people , and de the greatest possible good to thv creates , posai-Ke number of pecpie . The child of the peasant at birth is equal to that of th 3 peer , and if yuu follow him to the grave , however high the srulptured marble may extol his name , his head lies as the p < x > rett of tee poor . At tbe bir Ji of a King cr Qneen , the whole nation must shout fsr joy ; bonfires ituit be kindled , the -cannons thczsder forth the ! r bellowing noise , and s number of the drunken 2 nd debauched of the people bellow forth GoA gave the ' King 01 Queen .
They bellow forth by all their throats , ; While God 03 not in ail their thoughts . . ' Ccnld it be possible he had to describe the coit of royalty ; in the 11 th ytar of reform it cost i £ 47 , 000 or thereabonis , which makes . £ 287 a- ' day . How they manage to spend it he cuuio ¦ cGi . U } 1 . but this he knew , the ; lbney was Tetsd by ihos ? who called tLcoiseives the people ' s representatives . S- " me light is thrown on the subject < when we consider the number of the maids of honour , * ladies of the bsd chamber , gentlemen of the be £ chamber , te . ie ^ above all . the groom 0 : the stole ( laughteri Then comes the small fry j > f confectioners , oilmen , bakers , grocers , butchers , victuallers , &c A 3 a teetotaller he complained of so much being wasted ia '
diowning the sobtr senses of royalty . The cost of ale , calculating it at two shillings per gallon , would give sixty eight gallons a-day ; of spirits , at three shillings per bottle , thiity six bottles a-day , and of wine , at an additional cost , Mzj tdght botLies a-day . He- thought tllB greatest drinker in the -world mest think tins quantity too mnch for one little woman to get through , eran if the was assisted by her husband into the bargain . Ha asked the teetotaller , who acfcuo-srledced this , how he reconciled it with his pledge ? is be a right wyal teetotaller who does it ? for they are not to be instrumtntal in providing drink to otters ; hear , hear . ; The sum voted f-jr glass and crystal , to allow 5 s . tier bottle , and Is . for every glass ; would give twenty-two bottle and sisty-fonr glasses a day . He did think in
such destruction as tfiis ( ihe Ecm is vattd annually ) that sorae of them were net always Ia their sober senses . We have all the other members of royalty , and the goodly race of royal bastards to keep into the bargain —; ianght « r and approbation );—besides all this , we conJd not nx < i a king at home , &t U-ast a tasband far the Qasen , but must go into Girraary for one . Against this he would enr'te the Bible , aud sarsJy that could not be called BiJ-ticn ; in tbe 17 : h charter and 1-ith , 15 th , atid loth Verses of D = uttrononiy ; " you -wll ; find it ttrns -written , : ^ s tbs parscas ~ sj y— " When th ' jU art come into the land T * -h 5 cri tbs Lira thy Gori giveth thee , and sha . lt pess ^ sa it , aad EhaU d"wul thcreii :, and Ehalt say , I wiii ? tt a kia . 5 over ros , like a 3 all tha nations that are about me .

Bat he shall not iciiit : p 3 y horses to himself , nor cause the people to return to Egypt , to the end that he should multiply horses ; forasmuch as the Xord hath fiaid tmto you , ye shall henceforth return no more that way . Neither shall he multiply ¦ wives to himself , that his heart turn not away ; neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold . " It seems then we are not to go to Germany fox a king , bat are to choose one from amongst onr brethren . The Jewish legislator had a gooi idea of what royaiiy - ^ onld be when he wrote the above ; but what would he have thought to the grant of £ 70 , 000 to baDd tic Qaeen'sstables ; and in regard to the ibu :-tiplication of wives , it is pretty gentrally believed enr late George IV . had two -wives , and as many concubines
as Solomon . Tie parsons also , in tbe words of Isaiah , are time-Etrving doss ; they are greedy dogs , and like their own way . Bat why don"t the Dissenting ministers come forward in the cause of the people ? because they are afraid of offending the middle class . The shepherds feed themselves , and desert their flocks . He might be asked—would be do away with monarchy in this sund ? He would giv « a plain answer . It is the Tight of the people to choose thtir own form of Government ; but if Lis casting vote Wjuld decide the matter , he would give it in favour of monarchy , but not monarchy as constituted at the present time^—a mtre paltry play-thing in the hands of a faction—but chosen by the whole of the people . We should then hear no more of witless rogues and hump backed knaTea firing at the Sovereign of the people—( hear ) . There is the aristocracy , with tbe honourable and right honourable members of the peerage . He , f 01 one , protested against them bting born legislators aa 3
their wealth bang their title . They have no means of i " better than on a foundation of broken bones . Procure
being acquainted with the people , unless when canght ] wrenching knockers off the doors by a policeman , too i honest to take a bribe . When he gets to the station- ! home he snores away his time till he is called before hisj brother magistrate , and fined 5 s . for being drunk , and j dismissed with a caution , which is only a drop in the I bucket . What can these men know abont the wants of i a nation ? Bat there is one kind of knowledge he ' thought they had by Instinct , the knowledge of feather- j ing their own nests at the expence of the people . If they hare acy office to perform , tbe duty must be done by a deputy or clerk , and he also paid by the peogle , while the " great bird of prey , " as Sir James Graham onoe called them , is perhaps spending his time in mother country .

sums . There lare ninety-one Campbells in the army , and twenty-seven in the navy . Tne keeper of the signet , iSir William Dantlas ) has a greater turn than the f ormer for his ardous services . We have 600 generals in full pay . Why , a twentieth part of them would not be wanted in a time of war . We had lately ninetyeigh : aimirals , and only nine of them on duty . Next comes the law , the judges , commissions , &c . ; who , speaking of commissioners , it brought to his mind a discoursa between a poor weaver and a commissioner , in the year 34 or 35 , at Andertown . The commissioner says doat you think emigration vrculd be a good thing , an < i much better your condition ? Yes , says the weaver . The commissioner noted that in bis book , and was going away , but the weaver stopped him , ad said
" yen and me may be dinna agree about the sort of emigration . I won ! d emigrate all the bishops , half of the parsons , and all such as you . ' He shut his book and wanted to ba gone , but the weaver would not let him bndsa till he had put it down in his book . The printing of the Commission to inquire into the spirucal destitution of Scotland , cost £ 60 , 000 , but we have n .-t the means of getting to know the salary of the commissioners , bul guess it would be liberal , by the cost of the printing . There is more accommodation than is wanting in the laic Churches . Any person wishing to go may £ ?•! a pt-w for himself , another for his hat , and another for his umVrella . He believed tbe aristocracy were rLjbt , when they said distress was not general ; it has n-jt reached them . Talk not about distress , when
you can afford to pay such enormous salaries , to such men as the eoncocters of the massacre of P « jterioo I He thought it would takts a sin ^ nifjing glass of 200 horse power to see any ? Ojd they , any of them , havo done . Tcey taik of yon desiring to plunder them , when they are gorged with plunder , to gain which thousands ef your countrymen have beea led to bleach in the Bands of Ezrpt , the Alps , in Spain , and Americs , and the entrcic 3 of the people have "been left at the feet of a plundering aristocracy . They have made offices where there tras ncne wanting , merely to put their dependents into , at the people ' s txpence ; and it would tako a pair of cast-iron langs t ;> detail one-tenth of the wrongs they hav « inflicted upon yon . The corn laws have been pissed by teem to keep nt > their rents . They have taken
ih ~ church lands , the cr <* wn lands , and the common lands , the property of the people to their own use They have made the tenants of the deep their property , and the fowls of the air must be their ' s also . The poor man in the depth of winter , maybe his family starving , if he takes a p ^ rtridse , or a hare , he ia confined in a felon's call , and bis family lefo to perish Talk not to me ( said he ) of vested interests , when we are tons deprived of every comfort ! ( Applause , which lasttd for some time . ) The question now comes , how axe those wrongs to be righted ? And how can the blessings of Goi , and cheap Government , be conferred upon the people ? Simply by giving to each honest ,
upright man a vote ia the choosing the members ef the Executive of the country . This can only be done by the People ' s Charter . ( Applausa . ) Tell me not of lopping off this or that branch of the tree of corruption , for the same energy would overthrow the whole mass . The cry of the Ctmr ' . w i 3 traversing far and wide . In old Caledonia , the land of his fathers , it was bearing down btfore it tvary trammel in its course ; the cry has goae from moss to mountain and glen ; and , come weal come woe , they are determined to be free ; wherever he had been tbe cry for the Charter had prevailed . He had heard tbe trides of Manchester had nailed the banner of the Charter to
their nagp . Ireland also was proceeding m the glorious cause . This cry -will sooa liav * readied such a force , bfrfoie "Khich faction mutt speedily fly , nerer to return . The only tbuif which can impede it are those partial outbreaks which the people are led on to commit by want Thej have already done us much harm . Keep calm , and keep cotl .- proceed for a short time longer with the same determination you now have , and we will speedily sweep from before us the laat remnant of tjranDy and corruption Millions are watching the Chartists of England ; and if they fall in their attempt to be free , the chains of slavery will bs rivetted there The beautiful structure , he hoped , was rapu'ly reaching comp ' ctisn , which would stand till the wreck ef matter and the crash of worlds . ( Tremendous applause . )
Mr Campbell rose , and complimented in warm terms 5 Ir . Holiday for his lecture , and the people aUo for having the opportunity of hearing their cause so eloqueiitiy advocated . My friends , said he , our cause ib rapidly progressing ; the spirit of liberty was going abroad , and he defied . he power of any party to stop it . "lis true thc > y may get hold of our advocates , as they tars done with Mason and others , and imprison iiundreds ef our best men us they have done before ; others will spring up to fill their places , and will do so tili justice be met * --d oat fc-i the people . The parsons have Jone great barm to the cause , by pieaching to the poor , poverty in this life , aad plum-pudding in the next ; bat they are inconsistent ; they wish to go to heavun themttlves , and ate determined to have the
plum-pudding here also . If their ways will get them to- heaven , it will make such a place of it , that , for himself he should not wish to go where they were , arui was determined to have the pium-pudding in this life , if he could get it . He supposed all the people in the } ' > odi were mernbers of the National Charter Association ; if not , he hoped they speedily would be . E ? tTj man can da a man's part ; and if the Government jits that you ; ire really determined to have tbe Charter they " ^ iU very swj grant it you —( hear . ) They are already aware of our strength : we caused ths Whigs to commit suicide , and buried ti ) ir filthy carcase in tie gr = ve thev cad dug for themselves , and hope , with Gjd's blissine , they will never have a resurrection . We have only two parties in the Btats—the oppressor and
the oppressed . We want a Parliament to grant us those r ights we have besn to long in asita * - " * ' . ju& faction which is m **~? z £ , t ° - * ET 3 vitTa cluster in its dying r ?~~~ rU ~ , tie gGost of that party has made a great noise , ac I has told the premier if they do not repeal the Corn Lawa , they will join the Chartists . He thought they could not have the people's cause at heart , or they would havs done that sooner , for they know one of the first sets after the Charter would be a repeal of the Corn Laws , but there would b e others made to hinder them of robbing the labourer . He would place two lonves upon the table , the aristocratic l 6 af and the nioney-mongeT loaf , they are both miserably small , and
are all quarreling abont which of them was to cut it for ihe people . God preserve H 3 from both , for we wish to have the power of cutting cur own loaf . The Charter Association has been fonn&d in 420 plaeas , and there are only two CDunties of England in which it has not been advocated—the counties of Bedford and Rutland . The Dublin Association , as an Irishman he was proud to say numbered above 1000 members . He implored of them to unite with the Natienal Charter Association . The Manchester trades are coming out , and he hoped to have them all enrolled before winter , and hs hoped Hnil would not be behind-hand , and that ttiey wouJd , in a little time muster two or three thousand—( Approbation . )

The lasi speaker you have fceird is plaln-nutMT-cf-fact Juhn cViipbrll ; hu complimented tbe lL-uturir , and he also m '^ ht fallow it up ; but for the present should proceed . Tea h-ivs heard fcruch afeout the wrongs of England , much more than be thouii attempt to tell—mueh more than he could tell .

Millions of requests have you sent , and placed at the foot-stool
of au eaithly monarch , 2 nd their rejection has been accompanied wi : b rsne-rred insults . The great question is—huw are you to get your Charter ? It is a very plain qsestio ^ , anJ cne cv ^ ry Chaitist tu / at to be a \ le to-answer . He M-isbed every Chartist to be ab ' . e to give a good opinion cf the faith which is in him . He wtuul mt teli what the Charter is ; but would say this much , no change couid be accomplished till the people were universally united . We must pray for the Charter . Jesus Chrbt , talking to his apostles abont prayer , said to them , "Ass , and ye shall receive . " He was a man cf prayer , and wanted every Chartist to pray without ceasL-ig , that their joy might be fulL ( A voice from tae meeting— " Lor-. l Jesus , give ns the Charter . "; Hitherto they had aiked amiss , or have asked noihing . If we ire to have the Charter , we must bring the people into one mind , and with one voice declare that the Charter Ehail be ours , and . we shall be fre ? . ( Trenifendous ar . pjv / batioa ) Thus , when yon get tbe Charter , your
307 will be full , and the prayer of fmth will have saved yea . Let H 3 unite ourselves before we begin to pny , scd then onr prayer will be heard . In coming from York fee had had some conversation with a person very desirous of a repeal of the Cora Laws . He said to him , " D ; . n"tyou wish you may get it- ? " The reply wa 3 , he did wish to get it , atd ulso wished to know how they would get the Charter . He ( Mr . T ) told him if he would tall him how ha would repeal the Corn Laws , he ( Mr . T . ) Wvuld UU him bow to get the Charter . The mom ^ Bt the people are united to demand the Charter , that moment it will be theirs :-it cannot come before . Those -who want it sooner will no : get it , and may indulge the prospect of broken bones and limbs . Did you ever know a mushroom spring up to last long ? ( " Jfo . ") All the establishments of the world have bean gained by bl » od , and blood can wash them away . If yon want liberty establish it by the revolution of the mind . This i » a better foundation than one at blood : it will stand
yoar Charter by these means , and a greater number can take it from you . He would have every man to convert &s many as he could to the cause , that we may have a fair start and gain our object You who have yet done nething , repent to night by doing your duty . Let the world know by the subscription yoa mate for Mason you are in earnest . He , poor fellow , 1 b known threnghout the country . We know he Ib imprisoned , along with sevtin others , for pieaching the truth . You all can help them : if yon cannot give money , givp your best wishes , and endeavour to get those to give who are able . Do you , friends , believe every man has a right to live ? ( Yes . ) Is tflere a man in this assembly dare say he has not a right to live ? ( No . ) If he has a right to live ; he must havej a right to the means to live . If the means be taken from him by one , or bya number , it-is thBsame to him . let ns all try to obtain the means to live as soon as possible .
