      TO THE IMPERIAL CHARTISTS .

      H . 1 Dba * Fbiekps , —I ehall not take np more &sb a moment of your time to tell yon lhat for fire we I have be 611 wholly unable to write to- yon , and that our impartial lawB bare made my illness jjjjier an expensive oneias I was obliged to send my doctor , ny solicitor , and my two bondsmen down to Liverpool , as I could not go myself , although my appearance for one moment would hare keen all ft » t ai present the law requires , as not being twenty da ys in custody b « fore the Special Commission , I , iii oommon with my brother consp irators , was entitled to put off my trial till the next ' Anim ; and , as doctors and lawyers do not travel for » thinjr , oa

      will see that Mr . Griffin and the Manchester " free-traders" hare already subjected me to reasonable fine . Bat , now , to what ia « f B noh more importance ~ thaa » y health or life . One faction , under the name of liberalism , attempted for four years to put us down by the most unjust and tyrannical means ; and the other factjott most cheerfully jomed in the attempt . Since then , the Whigs hare gone out and the Tories hare come in ; and the Whigs kave not only joined the Tories in their crusade against us , bat hare

      actually laid the train themselves . How often have I cantkmed yoa against the " Corn Law League 1 " How many letters have I written to you—how many speeches have I made to yea—all bearing upon the one subject—the interest that all have in keeping labour ' s nose to the grinding-btone ! Did I not-propnecythe very result that has taken place in a letter published in the Star last July , in which Z told yon that the " free traders" would try to carry their object , even at the hazjkrd of a bioody revolution ; and that when ontrage commeaced , " what

" I have given you many warnings , and I haw suffered by your neglect of them ; aad yet I am net going to chide yon , to scold you , or to find faalt with you as a body ; no , on the contrary , so exemplary has been the-conduct ef the Chartist body generally , that I glory in suffering on their behalf . Many kind but timid friends have recently beset me with solicitations to give up pelitics , and * ecoke respectable ; wMle political jugglers hav « besought me to seek favoar in the eyes of the jury-« lasa by joining that party from -which the majority of those gentry are ohosen . Not having heard from

      Hie for some time , and although you have no reason to doabt my sincerity , I embraee ' . this first opportunity to renew my every pledge to the working classes . In a few mosths I shall have been ten years prominently before the peblic . For that period no public man ever yet performed the . Eame amount of arduous labour in the people ' s cause . "While I was making my party the press passed ae by in contemptuous sileoce ; but sow that I have accomplished my object , the columns of every newspaper teem with the most brutal appeals to authority to take my life . I look back to my whole political career , and I glory in it , and resolve to pursue the same undeviating eoarse to the last day of my existence .

      My friends , I have , of course looked deeply into the motives of public men who have gone before me ; And with the exceptions of Henry Hunt and Major Cartwright , I cannot discover a prominent demagogue , whose object has not been to create grievances , and to magnify those already existing , for the purpose of living upon promises to correct them . I have known of no other instances than the two I have

      mentioned , of gentlemen siding with the poor , with the hope and intention of bettering their condition . And now I will explain to you "wherein Iie 3 my weakness and want of protection , and your greatest strength . We cannot be both Etrong , or at least secure . Your strength , while growing , is my ruin , because the enemy always aini 3 at the body through the head . And now let me point out what constitutes the difference between me and political agitators in general .

      The first great objeet of a political agitator , who seeks power through popularity , is to establish a ° 6 taif" of daring , impudent , impoverished , f reebooting politicians , men who are ap to anything , ready for any service , aud prepared to do any work for which they are paid . This staff constitutes the recruiting party of the leader ; looking for p&If through popularity , the terms being , you give me popularity and I will back you in your assaults upon the pockets of our dupes . Now these men are the greatest pests in society ; they are traders in politics , political pedlars , traffickers in abuse , and interested upholders of oppression . They are the first to revile acts ,

      to the commission of which they have urged their pliant followers ; and t whenever they see the time approaching for bringing their strength t&bear npon the grievances of which they complain , they invariably turn public attention from the object in view to some " Will-o' -th ' -wisp , " and thus undo all that they themselves have done . Meantime , they have the command of the press , and the funds stolen from the poor , and by those means they silence complaint , which otherwise would overpower them . 1 saw the effect which such a course had produced in unhappy Ireland , and my first vow , upon entering the field of general politics , was to make a

      solemn declaration that I would go to bed eupperles » rather than partake of the pauper ' s meal . I made up my mind to cut eff the peddling staff from onr forces , and to brave the odium of having stopped the supp lies , and to thi 3 -declaration , andmystea « dy adherence to it , yoa are to attribute that want of respectable working class co-operation which othtr demagogues have had , acd in which they have found their own protection . This is the rock npon which I have willingly split , and the " sisff" which I have cut off are now , one and all , ready to enlist under the barners of those who promise them a perpetuity of office , ly continuance of

      abuse made palatable by those changes from Whig io Tory , and Tory to Whig , which amuse the agitated mind of the workiDg classes ; It is against those men and their allies that I wish particularly to caution you , because an attempt is now being made , in London , to amalgamate all the rotten branches of liberalism to aid in the winter ' s campaign of the " Free Traders . " The way is being paved for introducing Mr . O'Conneil to a London audience once more , while Cobden and the League agi ' . a * e Lancashire , and Sturge and his staff infest Scotland and Ireland , and the other districts of England . Those men are one and all

      hostile to every principle of the Charter , except the Ballot , and that we don ' t want , as we have sot got the vote to cover with it . Tbe otject of i ' \ 4 &e men is to insure the restoration of the Whigs l 0 ^ fiice under a pledge of carrying a total repeal of the v ' ** La ^ ; and now hear me—so Eure as God is ] above v « & T 0 U sanction a repeal of the Corn Laws , until you & * re a T ° ice in making the laws , so sure ; will you * £ * the bloodiest revolution that -ever ! shocked the QCJ B * eye . I have preached the same j doctrine for i '" ** years , and I now repeat H j and ; bear in mind , that in a revolution the working ! classes are ahva )' 1 made to bear the blows , while j the privileged ordt" * invariably reap the harvest .

      things for yourselves , and faction will respect you and cease to persecute yon . I get one man ' s share of all your troubles , and yet will I bear the oppressor ' s frown and the tyrant ' s scorn , and die as I have lived—a pure lover of liberty , rather than abandon my own child in the day of danger and the hoot of trouble .

      ' * * ' * ^^ JOHN CAMPBELL TO THE CHARTIST PUBLIC . Kirkdale Gaol , Oct . IStb , 1842 . Bbotheb Democrats , —I am entirely ignorant of bow things are going on outside the walla of this prison . I have written once to the Ivortfiern Star , and twice to the Everting Star ; whether those letters faave appeared or not I cannot tell , inasmuch as I am completely ¦ debarred from the use of * ewspapers . Well , I again address yoa , to encourage yoa . to go « n in the good work of a people ' s liberties . The London Dogberries have refued bail on my behalf , saying that bail aost be tendered for me at Kirkdale i but as it woald cost , at tbe very least , £ 12 to convey my two bondsmen from London to Kirkdale and back , I am resolved eot to permit so much money to be wasted .

      Now Kind , I have never said a « ingle word against the Whigs that I hav « not said against the Tories ; they are m brace of poHtte&l robbers , and as aH parties say we bare killed and buried Whiggery , our next aim mast be to crash the monster—Toryism , ( Let your every effort be made to 4 o so . Tbe path before yon , as Chartists , is clear , and so time murf be lost in -adopting a certain line of policy , &nd a decided line too . What I recommend ia this—that in tbe municipal elections oar whole force should be marshalled , that we win have one . candidate ready for each one the Whigs or Tories may have ; and that if the Whigs

      say " Here is oar candidate—there is yours . ; we will pat these two into effice , " then I say , unite frith the Whigs to secure the return of an even number of Chartist municipal officers ; and if the Whigs refuse , then have nothing whatever to do with them i if the Tories agree , then anite with the Tories for the same purpose . Bat if yon cannot make terms with , either faction , go to the poll yourselves , and , if possible , get one or more elected afi municipal officers ; and where yoa cannot return one of your own party , stand neutral ; have nothing whatever to do in supporting either of the factions .

      Such is my advice , and on such I intend to act , if I am let out on bail before March . And here let me tender my individual fonnfcn to Messrs . Wheeler and Caffay , of London , who have exerted themselves to procure bail for me ; to Messrs . Shaw , Sewell , BateiB&n , and Cleave , of London ; to Mr . Fright , of Ramsgate ; to Messrs . Spencer and M'Farlane , of Northampton ; to Mr . Morling , of Brighton ; to Mr . M'Pherson , of Ipswich ; to Mr . Bell , of Norwich ; and the other gentlemen who have offered to go bail far me . I have written to Sir James Graham , and I have told hta I am determined to wage war with him and his odioos party when I may be at large . Yes , my friends , my every act shall go to damn the cruel and destructive Tories as soon as I am at liberty . Brethren , look at the conduct of the Tories ; where or when have they ever been anything else except the most cruel , ruthless , and most tyrannical faction that ever lived ?

      Up , then , ChartiBts of Great Britain , and unite more firmly than ever to oppose your oppressors . I know nothing of my worthy coadjutor , the patriot Doctor , or Bairstow , bat I do know that immediate steps should be now taken to fill up the places of those members of the Executive who cannot attend to that office , It is necessary that ft " " should be immdiately done—whenever one man is imprisoned another should be ready to fill his place ; and for the sake of our sacred cause let me implore of you to adopt the recommendations of that Executives , to follow out their suggestion , and to obey them , as the only means by which tbe National Charter Association can really aud truly be made powerful , and a terror to the enemies of tbe people .

      The agitation must not drop—it must continue—it must go on—it must increase—it must triumph , and the prineiples of ^ he People ' s Charter become law in spite of every opposition . And although the apostles of freedom may be imprisoned—may be exiled , or suffer death on the scaffold , — in spite of all , the eternal &cd holy principles of truth and justice most ultimately succeed . But if the prison ' s gloom is to be made lightsome to the democrat's heart , bis name roust not be forgotten . This does not at all apply to me , as I have been kindly remembered by my friends ; bat the ease I have to mention is one that ought not to take place—it is that of John Massty , of Newton Heath , near Manchester , who ii Imprisoned on the same charge as myself ; but to illustrate the case mere clearly , I insert here a copy of a letter from his wife to him whilst in prison : — " Newton Heath , "Friday , 14 th Oct ., 1842 .

      " Dear Husband , —I am wearied with fatigue , for I have all to do for yoa . I have sent yoa 4 s . 6 d . ; it is all I have . Tour bond is g iven in to-day . I hope you will soon be at home again . God bless you . " Yours , affectionately , " AI . A . Masset . " Here , then , ia a man with a family of five children , fonr of them under nine years of age ; the wife weaves occasionally when she can , to earn a trifle for her family , and out of this she has to scrape 4 ? . 6 d . and send it to him to assist him . She has not received any assistance from the Newton Heath Chartists . I ask , is this Chartism ? Is this justice ? Is this patriotism f If it be , GDd preserve me from such !

      Brethren , I have every reason to hate the Tones . Me and mine have been persecuted by them . Leach has been nearly destroyed by them . MDouall is hunted like a wolf or tiger , and a price set upon his head . What may have become of Bairstow , I cannot telL Brooks of Todmorden , M'Cartney of Liverpool , Jones of < itto , Ellisof the Potteries , Cooper of Leicester , O'Connor , Hill , Otley , Harney , Doyle , Parkes , Smith , and a host of others , are now under tbs tender mercies of the Tories . Will you , the people , forgive them ? will you forget them ? No , no , I am sure you will not ; I am sure jou will kindly remember them at the hastings , and very honestly inform them that you are sick of their despotism , and you will do your best to send them headlong from power .

      To such parties as may have had the first number of the Penny Democrat , I now promise that , if I can get out on bail , I will at once bring out the second number , and continue it weekly , and make it what I have before said it shall be , namely , a complete mirror of trades ' unions ; and I shall endeavour to establish it before March , in order that if I am to be consigned to a dungeon for any length of time , there may be the means of supporting my family without being a burden on the Chartist public : and to those gentlemen who forwarded me cash for Evening and Northern Stars , I can assure

      them that I will forward them the moment I arrive in London . Cards of membership shall again be got ready , and steps taken to give a greater impetus to the movement than ever . Wby , if the Government will throw impediments in the way of my getting out on bail I cannot help it ; bnt whether in prison , or oat , the Tories shall find me a thorn in their sides , and yoa will find me your brother democrat . John Campbell . P . a I also return my sincere thanks to Mr . Moir .

      ? rHE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE PRO TEM . TO THE CHARTISTS OF ENGLAND , BUT MORE ESPECIALLY TO THOSE RESIDING IN YORK Bbotheb Democrats , —Seeing by a resolution in the Korthern Slar , emanating from the Chartist 3 of York , that they consider the appointment of an Executive Committee pro tern , to have been unnecessary , because the original body had not then been convicted ; that it was unjustifiable , because the sense of the ccuntry had not been taken upon the subject , and that the books of the Executive should have been placed in the bands of Mr . Morgan Williams until Mr . Campbell was fct liberty , or the country should have had time to appoint another General Secretary , we deem it necessary to make a few remarks npon tte good policy of the line of conduct which has been adopted .

      The arrest of Messn . Campbell and Leaeh , and the consequent inability of Mr . Bairstoir to fulfil the duties ef bis station , was a » sudden and unexpected , that it vas impossible any arrangement could be entered into . .

      arrangement is carried out , In one month from the date of our taking office a regularly appointed Bxecutive will have been elected . The first official act which we transacted was an earnest application to Morgan Williams to immediately hasten to London , and give us tha benefit of his advice and co-operation . Anxiously wo waited day after day , antil , after the lapse of upwards « f a week , we received the following reply : — " Dear Sis , —In answer to yours , I have onl y to say I shall be most happy to eo-operate with you and the other members of the Committee , in any way which may be of service to the cause ; but I should not wish my name appended to any address before first seeing it .

" This letter , and the-circumstance of Morgan William residing at Penyrheol , Merthyr , will be considered a sufficient reason why the books 0 l tbe Executive were sot placed in tbe hands of that gentleman , as they ondoubtedly would have been , had we received the benefit of his-active co-eperation . In conclusion , we have only to add that we trust yon will immediately bestir yourselves in nominating perbods fee tbe ensuing Executive . Our eaemies , eaually

      with oar false friends , are oa the alert . We bave a dismal prospect of -distress and « tar ? atioB before « s in tha « osnng winter , and it is absolutely necessary that we shoald have tbe number of oar Ezecative complete : tMs-csa be effected without one shilling expence , and with a small amount of trouble . If their services are not wanted at the present jaactute , they will be an army in reserve , ready at a moment ' s notice to occupy the honourable position to which yoa have elected them , without tho possibility of an emergency occurring like the present .

      THE CHARTIST PRISONERS IN STAFFORD GAOL . ( From our own Correspondent . ) Stafford , Wednesday night . The fate of Frost , Williams , and JoneB , who were roused from their slumbers at midnight , and who were , at half an hour ' s notice , hurried away from their friends , their families , and all that was dear to them , to suffer in a foreign and distant land all the horrors of a penal settlement , is causing in the minds of the unhappy men at present in the convicts' yard , and also in the minds of their families the greatest alarm , lest they may be also taken away in a similar manner . The reports that are afloat are by no means calculated to allay those alarms . It is therefore the imperative duty of all who intend to assist

      in saving Mr . Ellis and the others from transportation to redouble their exertions , and not lose a moment in preparing petitions , and getting up the necessary affidavits for that purpose . The immediate relatives of Mr . Ellis are doing all in their power in his behalf . But those efforts will prove abortive unless aided by others , who are anxious to rescue an innocent man from twenty-one years transportation . Innocent he is beyond doubt of that crime ( arson ) of which an impartial jury pronounced him guilty . A stronger proof of his innocence cannot be adduced than tbe language of Chief Justice Tindal , when alludiDg to his guilt . His Lordship

      made [ this distinction between his address to Ellis and the others . Speaking of the latter , he said that they were fonnd guilty to the satisfaction of an intelligent Jary and to my satisfaction . But when he spoke of the verdict against W . Ellis , his Lordship said that he was found guilty to the satisfaction of an intelligent Jury , omitting to add and to my satisfaction ; so that it is quite clear that Chief Justice Tindal was as equally unprepared for such a verdict as was the very orowded Court . Ellis is most sanguine in his hopes of a pardon , or at least of a mitigation of his sentence . He speaks of it as an act of justice that cannot be withheld , and most solemnly declares his total innocence of the irime laid to his

      AQopnrp His wife , three infant children , and his father-in-law , have been here and had interviews with him . The last time Mrs . Ellis saw her husband he was in the transport yard , and separated from her by two large gratings several yards apart , so that she could not even shake hands with him . A turnkey was preseat all the time . When the heartbroken creature was leaving her husband , the feelings of the wife painfully betrayed themselves by her almost sinking to the ground beneath them . When she rallied a little , she turned a long last look on him she adored , involuntarily exclaiming , "Oh , William , I thought they would have allowed me to kiss you before we parted . " The wretched man whose soul was agonised to its deepest

      recesses , immediately shrunk back ; and , covering hia face with his hands , indulged in one of tkose silent bursts which , while they indicate the workings ot a broken heart , are calculated to impart to it a momentary relief . Mrs . Eilis , her three orphans—and Ehe will be soon the mother of a fourth , accompanied by her father-in-law , left here on Sunday evening . Samuel Simpkin sentenced to trans portation for life , for the riot at Burslem , is now proTed bejond a donbt to be totally innocent of the charge . So convinced are the Judges of it , that they have already commuted his sentence to eighteen months imprisonment . And it is currently reported that he will receive a free pardon . The poor felbw was the whole of the day on which the riot took place , engaged at work for his master , nearly two miles distant from where the riot took place .

      Joseph- WhistoHB , another Chartist under sentence of transportation for life , must no doubt be pardoned as he is proved to be a maniac . His father died Borne years ago in a lunatic asylum , and the son who is now in this gaol has always been considered ^ " heir of bis father ' s infirmity , " and one decidedly deranged . There us several others under rule of transportation , whose sentences will , if there is justice in the land , be reversed , as now that all the excitement of the Special Commission has Bubaided . It is ascetained that instead of being guilty perpetrators in tbe outrages , they were mere spectators whom natural curiosity ltd to witness the sad ravages of an infuriated and maddened people . It must be gratifying to learn that the rascals , who under pretence of defending the prisoners , had fleeced their friends of several sums of money will be vanished . Mr . Baron Parke faithfully promised

      Untitled Article

      Mr . Price , the barrister , that Masser , who took the 12 fis . from the poor man , Taylor , to defend hia daughter , and then abandoned ( her to her fate ,. will be prosecuted by the Crown , as eooa as the case against the heartless rascal is made out . Chief Justice Tindal has likewise directed , in the most peremptory manner , that the charge against Whalky should be investigated with a view to ulterior proceedings . One poor woman sold her bed and all her furniture , to fee one ef those harpies . The miscreant took the money , £ 9 , and then told the poor fellow to plead guilty , which he did , and was sentenced to transportation . Had Mr . Roberts been sent down earlier these impositions wonld not have been practised . As it was , Mr . Roberts' exertions m behalf of the prisoners are beyond all praise , and are duly appreciated by the poor creatures themselves , who are loud in their acknowledgments of his kindness and his indefatigable labour in endeavouring to rescue them from the tigers who speculated in their blood .

      The people should remember that the present exertions that are making to prevent , if possible , the transportation of Mr . Ellis and his fellow convicts , are attended with great expense , and that unless funds , aye , and ample funds , are contributed , that it is more than probable that these exertions will be greatly impeded , if not rendered totally abortive . It is therefore the duty of every person anxious to rescue the innocent from the horrors of a felon ' s life , to contribute speedily , their mite to so noble , so Christian , so humane , and so patriotic an objeot .

      MANCHESTER . —CaRPENTEES * Hall . —On Sunday last , in the afternoon , Mr . William Dixon lectured to a large and attentive audience , who were highly gratified by the observations he mode upon the nefarious and diabolical plans now in operation 19 entrap the an wary , by means of hired spies , who attend our meetings for no other purpose but that of carrying garbled and unconnected leports of the lecturer's remarks to their more base employers . He then analysed Lord Abinger's address to the Grand Jury at Liverpool , completely overthrowing all tbe fallacies brought forward by the Noble Loni , and fully exposing the gross misrepresentations adduced by this once flaming Reformer , as to the motives and objects of the Chartist body . He then nude a moat feeling appeal to hia audience on behalf of the -victims , and concluded

      a most powerful address amidst the apptofc itum of the meeting . Several new members were enrolled , and the meeting separated in a peaceable and orderly manner . —In the evening of tho same day the above Hal ! was crowded with a highly respectable audience , to hear a lecture from that tried frieud of the people , Mr . James Leach , of Manchester . Shortly after six o ' elock Mr . Leach entered the Hall , and such was the crowded state of the room , that it was with considerable difficulty that ho got to the platform ; and when he made his appearance he was received with a tremendous burst of applause . Mr . Wiiliam Dixon was unanimously called to the chair , when Mr . Leach came forward . He was received by repeated rounds of applause ; and when order was restored , he said , 1 flatter myself that there are many here who ore glad to

      see me upon this platform —( Loud cries of "We are glad to Bee you , Leach , " from every part of the room . He ( Mr . Leach ) was as glad to see them as they were to see him . He then stated that since they had last met in that Hall , he bad had an opportunity of visiting' one of our courts of law , or more properly speaKing , one of our judicial slaughter-houses ; and he could assure them that it required nothing more to insure the conviction of a prisoner than to call him a Chartist . In fact , if any person would read the address of Lord Abinger to tbe jury ,, that persouage said that the object of the CnaTtists was to appropriate other men ' s property to their own use , and the destruction of everything valuable in society . Novr , what did this amount to ? Wby , just this . The Jury were men of property , and the prisoner at the

      bar a Chartist , and of course a destructive , and therefore if they wished their property to be secure they must bring the culprit in guilty . Mr . Leach then related to the meeting the language of the Judge to a poor handlopm-weuver . The Judge stated that the working men of this country enjoyed more liberty than the working men of any other country , and was it not for their idleness they could be in possession of all the comforts of life . But what is tha fact ? The weaver could earn about fire shillings per week , or £ 13 p « r year , if he had full work . Now , if we contrast ( said Mr . Leach ) tbe sum received by this fellow with the weaver , we find that he receives frota the people £ 5 , 000 per year ; and it would take four hundred weavers to work tbe whole year round to pay this boated porpoise his wages ! and then be turns round

      and tells the man who only receives tbe four hundredth part of what he is in the receipt of , that were it not for his idleness , that he might have plenty . Mr . Leach then gave a lucid description of the jury and the witnesses present , sn thP occasion , and related one ir . stanee * ere the wimess swore that the prisoner was addressing a meeting on the 27 th of August , at Manchester , when tbe fact was that the prisoner was apprehended on the 22 nd , and put into th » New Bailey . ThiB was rather too glaring , and the Judge told him that he bad heard enough , and the prisoner was acquitted . He then showed in a clear and convincing manner the workings of tbe present system , and proved that unless the system was destroyed that as a people we would sink lower than we are . In fact , said Mr . Leach , Ireland with all her accumulated evils upon her head ,

      weeping as she does over her numerous wrongs , stands in a prouder position than we do ; Ireland ' s greatest blessing consists in her being an agricultural country . Id England the case jb very different , we find 500 or 1060 persona depending upon one individual for their daily bread ; and such is tbe nature of the system under which we live , that in the morning when we rise some unfoiseen circumstance may have occurred that puts a stop to the firm in which we are employed . This jcannot be the case in a rural district ; and all tbe powers of man cannot make England again force her commerce upon the world . We find now that the press is clamouring about tbe free export of machinery , to eaable the foreigners to manufacture for themselves . I have been informed ( said Mr . Leach ) that the League is going to commence a crusade thi , ?

      winter , and that they have got a part of their ^ munition ready . They have got two tons of tracts printed ready for circulation , and that they will raise a fnnd of £ 50 , 000 to ' j agitate the country with , and that they will force a repeal of the Corn Laws next session . Well , let them begin , and be sure that you keep them in tbe front ranks , don't let them do the mischief , and then slip out of the way , and have you to supper , ob them Finnigans , Falneja , and A elands have done , and you will see what the Tories will do for them . But let them call a public meeting and I ( said Mr . Leach ) will be there . Mr . Leach then entered upon the expences of the Government of this country as compared with other nations ; and by way of illustration showed that the police force of Birmingham cost more than the Govarnmeut of America , thus shewing that in this country it

      cost more for police to ke 6 p 150 , 000 persons in bondage , than it took in America to govern 18 , 000 , 000 of a population . Mr . leach very ably exposed the robberies that are committed upon the people , and that the case of the working classes was getting worse every day ; at the present time five-sixths of their labour was not worth a farthing to them . In 1819 , the weaver only produced one peace where he now produces eight pieces , and those pieces of a superior quality , but in 1819 he received more for the one piece than he now gets for the whole ef the eight . The question then is who takes the seven pieces that the weaver has produced ? It is the system of clasB legislation . By the

      late improvement in the spinning department the spinner has to travel thirty-two miles per day and put up a pair of wheels containing 2 , 870 spindles , and for this laborious work be receives sixteen or seventeen shillings per week ; but if he had the produce of his labour , in two years he would make a sufficiency to keep him in ease and comfort for the remainder of his life . Mr . Leai : h entered into a variety of subjects , which he handled in a masterly and convincing manner . His powerful address occupied upwards of two hours in tbe delivery , and he retired amidst tbe repeated plaudits of the assembled thousands . After the thanks of the meeting had been given to the Lecturer and Chairman , the meeting separated .

      HUDDERSFIELD . —A meeting of the General Council was held on Saturday last , at the Temperance Hotel , Paddock , when the usual routine of business was gone through , the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to— " That we highly approve of and affirm the step taken by the London CbartUts in choosing another Executive , until such times , aa the noble patriots whom a bad and tyrannical Government have taken from us , an * immured in the dungeon ' s gloom , be again at liberty , to fill their honourable duty in the people ' s cause .

And they would respectfully urge upon them the necessity of renewed exertions on behalf of the victims to despotic BW&y . Thero are upwards of sixty who have to take their trials at the next Liverpool assizes , exclusive of numbers in other parts of the country ; and they hope that the fund for their defence by next March will be such as to give the victims that defence which they deserve from the country ; and prove to the Government that tbe patriots so unjustly persecuted have tho sympathy of the people , for whose s&kes they are suffering imprisonment and .. bonds . We hope this call will not be made in vain . On behalf of the Committee , Wm . Dixon , Secretary . Manchester , Oct . 18 th , 1842 .

      concluded a brief but excellent address by calling upon all present to join the National Charter Association . Mr . Thomas Clark was then called upon , who , after reading the letter , whjch appeared in that day ' s Evening Star , of our beloved champion , O'Connor—made a most powerful and affecting appeal on behalf of the incarcerated friends of freedom ; and , in the moat sarcastic manner , ridiculed the idea of a man's being a Chartist vbo pleaded poverty as an excuse for not payipg , and yet afford to go to a beer-rhop , and support a set ot idle drones , who had ever been the people ' s worst enemies , and concluded by advising all to abstain from the use of intoxicating drinks , and also to contribute towards the support of the victims of the heartless Plaguers , which they did to the amount of 9 s . 43 .

      SIR ROBERT PEEL'S BUDGET . Reprinted' from the Northern Slar of March 19 ! h

      TO THE IMPERIAL CHARTISTS . My Beloved Friends —Is it not a most astonish * ing thing that ithe task of explaining the all-important part of Sir Robert Peel ' s Budget shonld be left to me . Yes , the whole prets has been nibbling nt what thoy consider the important portion of the question—the Income Tax . Now , that has little or nothing to do with it . Of that portion , I would merely say that Peel , finding that be oould not reduce expenditure with a prospect of support from the expectants , has in so far put the bear ' s own paw into tbe bear ' s own mouth . Ha has told them that henceforth they must in part live

      upon their own fat . Peel has not made any attempt to reduce expenditure to the nation ' s capabilityof pay . ing ; but , on the contrary , he has undertaken to create a surplus over all requirements o ! more than half a million ; and , believe me , that for this surplus also there will be thousands of gaping months . The presa is very angry about the Income Tax , and smnll blame to them ; but I am delighted with It , an * still more bo ¦ with other portions of his badget , which I shall pre « sently explain . I am pleased with the Income Tax , because the mode of assessmenT ,-rnot of iavy , as the press complains , —carries the war into the enemy ' s camp .

      But here Is the important part of Sir Robert Peel ' a Budget : he admits livestock into this countet AT A MERE NOMINAL DUTY . £ 1 for an OX ; IDa . for a cow ; and 10 s . for a calf , which , in Parliamentary language , means a , young beast There waa a prohi « bitiou to this description of stock before , except for breed nt an immense high duty . He also admits salt and cuved meat at a duty of Id . per lb . Now . this ia the wedge The fact of this will be that cattlo , both ; fat und store , will be sent from Holland , Belgium , and parta of France , at one-half of tbe prbsent price . A Dutchman or a Frenchman can pay the duty and freight , iind send cattle into the Bngliuh market at a cheaper rate than Scotchmen and Englishmen living at a great distance from the market , and Irishmen can ; and America can send ua store provisions for much less than half the present price .

      Now , the result will be that much more land in the adjacent continental countries will bfl taken outof cultivation , and turned to pasture for feeding cattle for the JEngHah and . Irish market ; while 03 corn is the produce most highly favoured in England , immense tracks of grass land in England . Ireland , and Scotland will be broken up for cultivation . This will reduce the price of homR-grown corn much , very much below what an eight shillings , or even a fourahillings' duty would have kept it at ; and it-will reduce the price of all kinds ot meat , butter ; and cheese , beyond what any man can at present possibly imagine . This will draw thousands of operatives frem the mill lords , and create a certain competition in the two labour markets—that of land und ( steam . ' '

      But now mark the effect . The landed property will be tremendously reduced in value , as i t ought to be , and the reduced value will be taxed at three per cent , aa it ought to be ; but this reduction in tbe price of produce will increase nearly double the value of funded property , and IT to only to be taxed by the same scale according to its present net amount . Tithes will fall to one half , and then he taxed to S per cent , on the reduced amount , and even the reduced amount tha landlords will kick agMn 3 t paying , while both laadloi-dl and the little lords , will very , very shortly , array themselves , first in moral , and then , if required , in physical forco array against tho fund lords , and every man having a Sxeri income . All tenants with leases foe Hvps or terms of years , mast be ruined , as the ' landlords cannot afford . £ Oor fellows (!!) to make reductions wfei « h will be requited in c&uaequence of Peel ' s measure .

      In fact , if I was anted to frame a bill for the com « pltte and entire dissolution of society , as at present constituted , agricultural , manufacturing , commercial , trading , governmental , natal , moral , and physical , £ should say I jiake not one single' alteration in the Budget , of tuk Right Hon . Baronet . 16 will spaag 6 the debt—break the landlords—pay off the creditors—open manuf . uauries abroad for the displaced agriculturist * , whose places will be better supplied at home . It will make the suiuktocracy of England more observant of demand and tupply , because it will take an immense surplus population , by which they now reduce the waces of their hands .

      It will cauee a shindy among the parsons . ! and ifi vrjil throw every injured or disappointed man into tha CharVhts ranks . It will do all these thisgs ; while , without the Charter , it will not be worth a pin ' a point to the working people , and for this simple reason : If general prosperity should be the result , that prosperity would be taxed by class legislation for the support of a rising generation of panpors . But what has he done more ? O ! glorious—thrice g ) oricus , —he has bad the courage to tax IRISH ABSENTEES ! O ! how the devils will Ecamper home 11 aci fo will I when I get the Charter . Now , believe me , ibis svaa tbe prophesied earthquake that was to frighten the Irish .

      Now , my friends , bear in mind that while I was in York I toid you the Whigs would go mod . Wei ) , they are literacy rabid—foaming at the mouth . Again , I told you . that Peol would propose a far mote sweeping measure than Uie Whigs proposed , Ha » he not * Again , I told you that Russell would become a Tory . And won ' t he ? I should like to know what the Irish former * will bow say to Irantel 6 'Connell about Free Trade . By Jove , we shall bare " the DarU amoog OwTaUon . " Beasts already fallen above 10 per cent . Meat falling every day . A largo quantity thrown into the riven , while the people are starving , and only want tiM Chatter to turn it to better account . Corn foiling , chops fallings , and the Ciiartista rising . But now , " niatjiiuy words ; such an agitation never , was seen as England aud Ireland will present in lea * than one montti from tae day of thejtetejjywof , 16 th March , 1842 . ¦ JkT / llL&Jitb ^ Your foithfnl ^ fi ^^ f ^ k '^ Kjl ^ y
