      ' Gestlbm ^ n . —Upon three occasions I have , n 8 , Jey «« irlJ 0 '"ughthe skirmish ground of fee- ' tinnv wien tfse next opportunity occurs , jl ^ n mi-fe ' -tAebattlerfieia of principle . ; j « p ne subdued tone of yowr-representatives , ( he stand to which , expediency has brougl ' t Qi nustiters ; the increasing liberality uf liber als ; the diminished ferocity « f Protecti onists : the renewed alarm of the Church ; ft jded to the approach of" a period beyond » liich even the Whips cannot protract th * jjfe « f the present parliament , all denote thi coming of a general electi < in .

      At all & is" !* * in afl times , a general election fccnnsidered asof paramount importance , and _ , en usually tell you that of a l the elections the present is the very most important ; hut fley a ssism no reason beyond the influence it -av have ujMin some clap-trap in whicVthey ^ v b av « b « n artful enough t « enlist your feeiins Upon the other hand , I tell you why Ironfl'Jer the approaching election of surpassing im iHirtanoe t < i all classes , but especiall y to ^ workinsr classes . .

      Firstly . T '« e principle only of Free Trade bss been recognised as yet , and upon the next parliament will depend its moulding ; whe ther it is to be made a class measure to oppress yo « , tii grind you . and degrade you , or Ae ther it is to be made a national measure , jn which the rights of labour as well as those of capital shall he reraisnised ; whether the meaning of Free Trade is , that one master may tompel you to sell your labour in an artifidallvover-stHcked market upon the competitfre prindule , while another muster may

      compel you to purchase your food at an artificial foodie price ; and whether , upon yonr inability to meet the artificial huh price of food by the low price of wages , yon are to l ^ ok to the work-J os 5 e , apaupefsstinted fare and afelon ' a degrading garbj as yourjsule alternative ; whether you are 11 depend upon the mercy of the domestic capitalist for employ ment , und upon the jealous foreigner for food ; whether you are to rely upon the melting of distant ice , and the navigation of distant rivers , for your breakfast ,

      j our dinner , and your supper , produced by other- -, or whether , as masters of your owi frte labour , applied to your own free soil , fertilized by your o » n genial climate , you are to pr oduce fur yourselves— exchanging your surp lus fur commodities which you c ^ n purchase more profitabl y than you can manufacture ? The mouldingof Free Trade principles to class pnrjW'ses will be the primary object of the Free Tradtrs ia the next Parliiinent , and to meet their designs theTponple niiist fie prepared .

      The mould of the Ref < rm Bill was . much more generous and democratic than the model trirch popular apathy has allowed active faction to cast from it . In the first Reform Parliament more than three-score n embers were in advance of the people ; but the people allowed them to struggle alone , till Whig watchfulness and popular indifference justified their desertion i . f the popular cause-If the pecple had been as anxious to prevent , as they now hxe to cure , they had ample power in the Reform Parliament to compel a much more liberal reading of the Reform Bill . With

      the sad experience of the , p rt before us then , Itt us liok f « i a more profitable future ! Secondly . The battleot . theState Church must be fought in the next Parliament , as the nuisance has now grown beyond endurance , and , rely upon it that Churchmen will make the B . or of their blender forces , within and without . Thirdly . The battle of Labour must be fought in the next Parliament , fur , rely upon it , that however the necessities of an expiring tenure may compel the outgoing tenants to tolerate tie judge s construction of law in favour of the workman , that those who make both Judge and lino will not submit to any infringement

      oi the rights , or any abridgement of the power , of capital . We have emancipated ourselves from many disabilities ; we have outlived the delusive crv of faction , •« 0 don ' t divide the liberal interest . *' Jf , as the press of the Liberals contends , a thorough conquest of an enemy is indispensable to the advancement of civilization , so the thorough conquest of a faction is indispensable to the advancement of legislation ; and if , as we ire told , Ireland can onl y be prepared for civilization b y another and more complete conquest , Whiggery can only be prepared for legislation by another and more complete over throw .

      Ihe man who is in advance ot popular opinion lives in perpetual strife , only sustained liy his own convictions ; but as themadness of to-day is the parent of the wisdom of the morrow , when with death envy ceases , then posterity does him tardy justice . Such , I confers , lias been my case in life . I have been denounced , vilified * , and persecuted , but my convictions have sustained me . My object has been to force legislation onwards as civilization has advanced , and as a year of the quick present is more than equivalent to a century of the sluggish past , and as you are tw > wise NOW to take any man upon the recommendation of a bit of comparative liberality , I feel myself called upon to state my political principles .

      1 shall strenuously struggle to ensure a full , free , and fair representation of the teop . ' e iu the Commons' House of Varliament , and with fthat view , and from a well-founded conviction that the principles of the People ' s Charter can alone accompli ^ it , 1 will support and vote for that measure at all times , when it is brought forward b y our chief and leader , Mr Duncombe . I will aid to the fullest of my power to separate the Protestant Church from the State , and will oppose all State religions , believing that a flock can makea better selection of a shep herd than a political Minister or a political patron c ;> n , and believing that the present State Establishment , is the cause of much treachery .

      sycophancy cruelty , dtceit , " blasphemy , and infidf lisni . But iu contending fur such separation , 1 shall also contend for the application of Church property to its original purposenamely , the support of the poor ; and as all trustees of the poor have failed to discharge tlu-ir trust honestly , 1 shall contend for the pour being their own trustees , by each willing husbandman being located upon land of his o « n , for ever , for which he shall pay a moderate rent , as his contribution towards the suppoit of institutions which recognise and protect his rights . 1 will contend for the principle of direct taxation , under such arrangements . as will make it impossible for the master-class to throw the burden upon the labour-class , j

      Luring our struggle for ' the Charter , 1 will give my vote for the removal of every obstacle that stands in the way of that measure . I will n « t ^ . accept of place , pension , or emohmmtfrom any Government or parly , neither will I cater for support b y looking * for patronage lor my supporters . If returned , 1 will resign my trust at the elo ? e of each session to the people in public

      nuetin ? assembled , in the market-pl ace of your borough , and shall only consent to reareejit it upon the wish of three-fourths of the inhabitants . Believing in the ability of the people to insist upon any form of government they please , I shall he ever ready to present petitions ajrain-t oppression and injustice , as by exposure only can redress be had and prevention insured .

      Though the honour I seek is the represcnta tion of an English borough , I shall take part in all Iri-. li questions ; and , believing that a Btptal of the Union means separation of the t » o cuuutrie ? , 1 shall at all ' times support the independence of my native country bv endeav * uring to rid her of zfonign yoke ; believing , as I do , that the accomplishment of a mere Ji'pcul tf the Uhion would but lead to iucrt-a > e « corruption , increased taxation , iiicrea-ed treachery , sind incre : ised dependence aid Mibi ! iis » ion , inasmuch as the linglish Minifit r , stinted of apparent power , would have recouise to extended means of corruption . lluukupun Railroads , the Penny i ' oslage

      the / e « ny Stamp upon Newspapers , and the Vuniapal Reform Bill , as the corner-stones ' t a new constitution ; and I have ever thought that a proper use made of those means must mevitabl y lead to perfect social and political freedom j and , although Mr Spring Rice now Lord Monteagle , said , " Repeal the Unionrestore the Heptarchy'" for the purpose of recommending the princi ple of centralisation , I hold the principle of self-government in such high esteem , that I shall endeavour to confer powers , immunities arid privileges upon counties , towns , and boroughs , wholly independent of the Imperial Parliament . iMK M fllMt ^ T'ft ttlvt nnnn V > u . <» - ¦ 1 * l

      Indeed , I believe that if a proper use had been made of the Municipal Reform Bill , by the people , that that measure might have been made an engine of complete political freedom . I will vote for every limitation in the hours of slave labour which will ensure the workers a fair share in the profits of their toil . I will vote for the unqualified repeal of the Poor law Amendment Act . I will contend against the right of Ministers , officials , placemen , or pensioners to vote in Parliament . I will vote against the legal murder of hnman beings by strangulation or otherwise .

      I will vote against the power of a Minister to draw secret service money from the national exchequer . I will contend against this country waging war against foreign states , except incase of foreign invasion . And last , though not least , I will struggle to make the Small Farm System a Government measure , according to the Rules of the National Laud Company , and I will contend for the appointment a Minister of Agriculture .

      I will move the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones , as an amendment to every , demand for supplies ; and , despite the howl of in-door factions , I will thunder the popular voice in their ears . These tilings I promise ; to those conditions I pledge myself ; upon them , and uporTthem alone , I ask for your support . I ask you to retain them as the means of judging me . We live in new times , and want new minds to govern them .

      If my principles do not suit your notions , I , shall give my support to your choice . I am , Gentlemen , Your obedient Servant , Fe Argus 0 ' Conn or .

      Bilstoh . —At a meeting of the members it was moved by Mr Linuej , seconded by Thomas Davis , and carried unanimously : — That a committee be chosen to agitate the principles ofC"artistn , with a view to promulgate the game at the forthcoming general election . The following persons were then elected , with power to add to their number : —J . Wasnidge . Henry Fowler , Wolmhampton ; John Richards , W . Furnival , Thomas Davis , and Thomas Almond . Bibhisgham . —At a public meeting h = Id in the Town llall , Birmingham , for the purpose of consi-• ering ihebeatnuideof alleviating the distresses ot the country , the Charter being moved as an amendment upon a moton foraltering the currency , called Irom ilr Mason the following repl y : —Mr Ma »« contended that the amendment was out uf order and could not be put to the meeting , and observed tbat the present was neither the tune or nlace to

      intmducetbe subject of the Charter . He felt satisfied that the working elasses would much more effectually aecompJii the end they bad in view , and would much sooner obtain full and complete representation by acting with judicious reserve and moderation , than by pressing the matter where it did not properly arise . As soon as the middle classes saw their increased inteliigenec and worth , they would give them the power of voting , and both their interests apd conscience would induce them to respect their rights . The amendment was out of order , and he maintained that the major would not be justified in putting it . At the usual weekl y meeting on Sunday evening last , at the Ship Inn , thefollowingreSulution was unanimously passed . Moved by Mr Fussell , and seconded by Mr Fearn : — ' That we are of opinion toat Mr Mason has basely deserted those principles ofjustic which he long advocated , and has thereby forfeited the respect and confidence of the working classes . "

      Chbliixham . —At a meeting of the member * it was resolved : — That , notwithstanding the unacconntabla apathy manifested by the unenfranchised portion of our fellow townsmen , we are determined to continue our association , inasmuch as we feel confident that the time i > rapidly approaching when out countrymen will be brought to acknowledge and appreciate the serv cea ef those , who , in and out ot season , throngh evil aad good report , have been , and still are , struggling for the attainment of inep-liiicalrightBuf their fellow men .

      Oif LecAim . —The members , after being some Vine without a place of meeting , have lately taken the large llall attached to the Star Coffee-house , 71 . Old-street . St . Luke ' s . Mr Tapp has been appointed sub-seer , tary , in the place of Mr Salmon , jun ., who retires . Since the opening of the Dall , lectures have been delivered by Mr Skelton on " Progressive Civilization , " add by Mr Clark ( on Sunday evening laBt . ) on ' the erils of society and their remedies . " He said 11 Of late I have travelled much , and I find wealth everywhere abundant , ' tis strange , but true wherever I have foundtacessuve wealth , there also abounds the extreme of destitntiop . misery and wretchedness . The remedy for those evils forces itself upon our attention , bat the great error of society is , that our presem leeisiative wisdom wiil not allow the people to take care of their own affairs . On all manufactured goods , labour stamps the value , but when labour is abundant it is cheap aud used as a marketable

      commodity , thus we have man the image of his Creator reduced to the level of tna brute . Why all these monstrous proceedings ? because the state of society is rottea by throwing small farms into large onts which are not half cultivated ; the small farmers and labtnrersaro thrown on society to compete with each other and starve . No man can deny that with our treat literary , commercial , manufacturing and mineral greatness . we ought to be truly great ; but . alas , thousands are now perishiug of starvation , who have been always wulin ^ to ear n their bread by the sweat of their brow . He who don ' t like democracy , don ' t like truth , and he who opposes it must be vieieus or ignorant . The lectureratter dealing with his subject iu a masterly manner resumed his seat much applauded . A vote of thanks was awarded him , and the meeting adjourned to Sunday next . Is was announced by the chairman that a course of 6 lectures will be jjivi u . '

( Cheers . ) The Chairman then gave " Mr Duucbmhe , M . I ' ., " the only man in the iimi . se of Commons v \ Iio stands in his place and demand * justice for the people * ( Cheers . )

      The Chairman said , that they had now arrived at the liuviiimof the evening ; litit before proceeding to make any remarks he would call upon Mr Hatchard to read au address to he piesented to Mr Cochrane . Mr Hatchard then read the following addresj : — Address from the Working Men of Paisley to Mr Uobftri C-. clirnno .

      Ot this we , the Churiisu of Paislty , are fully convinced . an > l » o wtll tatifttirrt ar-.- we , sir , with ' your zeal and aMlity in the catwe , and th « becominp manner , at all times inirt at ait hazurdi , In which ^ yii u have performed your gratuitous lerviciis , tbnt . we dc « ni it a duty incumhent upon us to tender to you a token of gratitude . Wr have met thus publicly no to do , in the bope that it will i !» eri ;} on nn in the same patriotic course , until yriur tff < rta in the cause of riicht against might—justice against injustice—be cronm d with succow . We , the working mm of Ptiinley , nnt only see in yon , sir , ad advocate for our Charter , but al . to fi . ' iil you to be one who is ever ready to st ; md forward manfully and dem-nd redress fur miy local grievance that we maybe

      a < nuiled with . We have hud on many "reasons to re . joice at the successful exposure you have made of the mbjiinationg of our enemirs . And when in thi He times nh ( -n selfislmi'sp it the rule of all the govirnmi-nts of this country , both lo-itf » n ' l nutiotial , 8 i ; t up , Mumlti be for the common weal ; but , alas ! theirbuneful Itginlation has suecevdpd iu trampling the rights « f industry ia elm ilunf , and reduced tbe most industrious people in tii * world to a mere scramble o' exiatcn ' re ; the uhiluren reared in tbe lap of meanness , without edtt ¦ ntioii , nnd little or n't morals , become the expired victims of crime and nil mnnnerof vice . In ihtfu times , sir , the man

      whottbeldenouith , and adds to his courage Ct ) iifi « tency and Koral rectitude , and who uiihtcitatingly tnUe » the lea ' l of the oppressed iipainst the oppressor—thu valuable services uf that man , tlie working claeaett unnnot appreciate too much . Him , ail , we have found in you . Bi-in ? workinif men . like yourstlf , it ig not in onr power to render you an ) thing like an adequate reward for the creat and gewrous services you hnve devoted to tie cuusa of obtaining national and local bintfi s , but you will behold in ttJin tt'Stimoniiil an indubituble proof nf the con . f . encethe working men of Paisley have in joufur your i / Mtuiteus services .

      Such oeing our acDtimenn , we respectfully request that ) au wiil accept of this puree of gold as a pr ^ of of our esteem . We earnestly wi > h that yoa and your family niay not only live to « eo , but « 1 « V to er . j ' - -y , ail thf privileges that may result from ahoncst system of legis . ltttinn , : The Chairman then rose and said , that he be ' , lieved they would all coincide with him in the reniaik , that the working classes had never done better t ' . jan in coming forward as they had done on this occasion , to show their respect for one who had sacrificed his time and talents to their interests :

      ( Cheers . ) But , gratifymg however as was their presence there to do honour to one who had approved himself worthy of their highest esteem , it was btill more gratifying to know that their guest was to he presented with a tangible . token of their respect . ( Applause . ) He had been acquainted with Mr Cochrane for a considerable time , and lie always found him a sterling , honest , upright man . ( Cheers ;) Wi'h him there had been no flinching . ( Applause . ) Persons who pursued a course like Mr Cochrane ; never couhlexpect to find favour with the upper , classes . They had to fi ght many a'hard battle , ' and unless they possessed a mind strong ta overcome all difficulties , they would break down under them .

      ( Cheers ) These were times when the press did g ive them justice , but they never had the same power over tlie fourth estate as the middle classes . If , however , the working classes would stand true to their own cause , they might achieve no small triumph in a very short space of time . After passing a hig h eulogium on the character of Mr Cochrane , he presented him with a purse containing eighteen pounds , and a book , in which was ihe following inscription : — " Presented to Mr Robert Cochrane , with eighteen sovereigns , from the

      working men of Paisley , as a token of esteem for his valuable , gratuitous , and patriotic exertions on their behalf . Paisley , 24 th May , 1847 . " He ( ihe Chairman ) had no doubt that he would preserve this purse jis long as he lived , and look upon it as the offering of tl ose who highly appreciated his public conduct . ( Cheers . ) He hoped that he would be long spmed to he a blessing to his family and to society at large , and that he would continue for many a day in the enjoyment of the fruits of this meeting . ( Applause . )

      Mr Cochrane rose to reply , and was received with great applause . He said—Mr Chairman , Mr Croupier , and Friends , never in my lite had I a greater desire to make a speech , and I may say never did I feel myself at a greater loss to do so . ( Cheers . ) This mark of your kindness has . to a certain extent , put me in that slate , 1 will not attempt to take up much of your time in replying to the sentiments iu this address so much in accordance with my own . 1 am proud to make the confession that I have made some sacrifices in the cause of humanity—( cheers)—and it gives me no little pleasure to see that my humble efforts are appreciated by my fellowmen . ( Ch eers . ) The seniimems of democracy breathed in

      this address . are sent . ments to which 1 never was a converted disciple , as I was reared in the lap of democracy . ( Cheers , ) My father was a democrat , and 1 well recollect that when but a child , 1 was taunted hy other boys with the principles of my father . ( Cheers . ) ] know that these principles are not respected hy the wealthier part ef the community . Persons who take an interest in the People ' s cause are calumniated , and need scarcely look for anything else than misrepresentation and abuse . I have been proud to meet that abuse , and those misrepresentations , and will be so until our cause he

      victorious . Those who are willing- to promote the people ' s cause must he prepared to encounter much . Never was there a people who deserved jtictice better at the hands of their government , and never was there a peopU who received less than the people of this country . ( Cheers . ) 1 am as proud of my country as any man can be . 1 know she great in arms—I know she is great in wealth--1 know she is great in learning , but 1 also know that she is wanting in what really constitutes the greatness of a nation—the happiness ol her people , ( Cheers )

      The Chairman then stated that he hod another health to propose , and he had also another presentation to make . It had been thought proper thata small present should be given to Mrs Cochrane , and he was happy to deliver into Mr Cochrane ' s hands a goldiing . whichhewouldliavethegooduessto deliver to his wile . ( Applause . ) The Chairman then delivered to Mr Cochrane the ring , nnd proposed " The health of Mrs Cochrane , " which was drunk with all the honours . Mr Cochrane , in behalf of hit good lady , returned thanks for this mark of their esteem . He trusted that the day was not far distant when women would take a greater interest in their principles —the principles of the People ' s Charter . ( Ap . plause . )

      Several popular toasts and sentiments were after .-wards given by the Chairman and other gentl » mea present , including " the Northern Star , the only paptr in the British empire which manfully advocate * the rig hts of industry , " " The health of the occupants at O'Coiuiorville , " &c , &c . A vote of thanks was severally given to the chairman and croupier for their able discharge of duly , and the company separated at a late , or more properly an early hour , highly delighted with the evening . ; proceedings . .. . In the course of the evening , a number of excellent songs were sung , and the Kspedair Band , whiqh was presuit , discoursed most excellent instrumental
