      their <* , „ b , \ uo o « trai Com » Utee . Hethendrew their attention J . heeieSn now being made by Mr Duncombe to improve the condi tion of the miners of Great Britain , pointed out to them the necessity of their giving all ibe support in their power to that gentleman , to enable him the more easily and promptly to bring bi . patriotic endeavour , to a « uccessful termination . This appeal was received with the most enthusiastic marks of satisfaction , the whole meetiDg holding up their hands in token of their determination to support Mr Duncombe in his patriotic effort ! , A vote of thanks , with three times three cheers , wbb then pained to Mr Duncombe ; thanks were also passed to Mr Peel , and the meeting separated ,

      On Tuesday a meeting was held on the banks of the Great Monkland Canal , of the miners of the county of Lavack . Twelve o ' clock was the hour fixed for the meeting . A * the time approached , the various roads leading to the selected spot were thronged with parties from the different villages in this pepulous locality . The day was one of those glorious June days , which appeared made for ihe occasion . About twelve o ' clock the souuds of music broke upon the assembling multitude , which was found to proceed from the direction of Coatsbridge , whence a dense mass were observed winding down the hill , headed by a fine military band . In due time they reached the ground , and were presently succeeded by a similar body from Airdrie , also headed by the Airdrie band . At length the hoar for action arrived . A cart

      having been obtained for the speakers as a temporary platform , Mr Batbgate was called to the chair , and having briefly addressed them upon the Important nature of the present meeting , he called upon the delegates from the various districts to r # port . —Mr Cloughan , de . legate of Holytown , informed the meeting that half the pits in his district had settled the affair , and of the others the warnings were not out . He contended that on this occasion the employers were not justified in effer . ing this reduction , and the fact of their own unanimity sufficiently proved the impolicy of reducing wages in the face of rising markets and moderate stocks on hand . He then stated that an attempt had been made to intimidate them by legal proceedings ; warrants had been issued against four of their friends , who were arrested

      on Saturday night , and then brought forthwith to trial . Three having pleaded guilty were immediately committed to jail for fourteen days , and thrown in amongst felon t and characters of the worst deicription , ' the fourth re < fused to plead , and requested his examination to be postponed / to allow him time to consult bis friends and obtain legal assistance . To this very proper and legal request themagistra ( 1 thought proper to give a decided negative ; and , ; as a mark of their sense , of his presumption , at once sentenced him to six weeks' imprisonment . He ( Mr Claughan ) having been immediately informed of it , west forthwith to Edinburgh , and had the pleasure of getting the conviction quashed : bo then entered an action for damages for false imprisonment , A legal objection to the summons being taken by Mr Currie in

      the case of the otuer three men , the magistrates thought fit t > discharge them . He contended that any attempt to force the men to work an ; number of days a week , Uolsss they also engaged to give as many days' work , oould-not be maintained in law . Mr C , then introduced Mr Peel , who , as a member of the Central Committee , was received with loud cheers . Mr P . addressed them to the same effect as on the previous day , and referred to an observation which hud emanated from one of the em . plojet 3 , to the effect that , as the A < socUtion had only got £ 8 , 000 in the bank , they could do but little in the event of a strike among the miners . Tue employers imagined that their means of supporting the trades were ( o be measured » y the amount of cash at any time in the bank ; the power of the Association depended on their numbers , and the Central Committee had t ' e power to

      call for such levies as in their judgment were requisite for the protection of the members , He was happy that in this case it would not be necessary to apply for them to he Central Committee ; but if it should unfortunately turn out otherwise , the employers might rest assured that the Ctmtral Committee would be prepared to afford then all the support in their power . He then colled on them to support Mr Duncombe , by an active agitation before the next session of Parliament for a thorough investigu tien into , And reform of the cryliig abuses they laboured under . Into no better hand ! than Mr Dunconibe ' s could their cause be entrusted , and they would be false to their own interests , and traitors to the best interests of their wives and children , if the ; did not give to Mr Suncombe all that support which is so essential to the out-Ceisful accomplishment of all great reforms .

      These observations were received with the greatest enthusiasm . A vote of thanks was passed to Mr Duncombe with the greatest acclamation ; one also to Mr Peel and the chairman , and the meeting separated in the mast orderly manner , Maxchbsteb . —The Turn-out at Mr Smith ' s Silk mill . This turn-out , now in its fourth week , continues without any prospect of settlement . On Saturday last the number that received pay was as follows : —fifty seven silkpickirs and seventy-three wearers- in all one hundred and thirty persons . In consequence of the article that appeared in last week ' s Star , Mr Smith sent for Mr Parker , who waited upon that gentleman , in company with Mr Peel , who complained vory bitterly of the tenour of that portion that related to the turn-out ui his mill .

      He complained that he had been very unfairly dealt with inasmuch as the Association were attempting to compel him to pay a higher price than other employers , Now the facts are these : Mr Smith for a lenKthoftimohas stated that he objected to pay for his picking morethan another firm , mentioning the firm in question . The Cen . tral Committeewere anxioustoremove the cause so justly complained of—srnt deputations to confer with the firm spoken of to induce them to come up to Mr Smith ' s price ; they succeeded several times in obtaining an interview , but with little success . The firm contended that although they did not pay so high a price as other manufacturers , their hands could eurn as good if not better wages , as it a ! l depended upon the quality of the material they had to pick ; at the same time stating that .

      if they were compelled to pay the same rate for picking , in justice to hint other manufacturers ought to be made to pay the same rate for weaving as he was paying , which was' much higher . The Central Committee were always anxiiuw to avoid strikes , more especially of an offensive character , were in hopes they should be able to induce the firm complained of to acquiesce in the proposed advance ; failing in this , as soon as the briskness of tradewas over Mr Smith informed hiB hands that he would no longer pay the old price , but offered theaunif price as Mr . ; this of course the men refused , an , they considered the ; had done all they possibly could to induce all the masters to pay a uniform price . A list of prices having been presented , but no notice has been taken of it , under these circurottnnces , Air Smith ' s

      bands being m « rrbors of the Nutioual Association , naturally applied to the Central Committee for that support to which they were entitledthey having' ensured themselves in the Association against contingencies of this character ; and , therefore , were receiving aliment as from an Insurance Society . The Central' Committee are not responsible ( or the turnout , Mr Smith alone is responsible ; therefore , on this ground he has no just cause of complaint . Mr S . stated last Saturday that the Association being strong in numbers and influence were determined to crush him , be being the weaker party . The Central Committee can assure that gentleman that they have never used thiit power for any such purpose , nor ever will , but are determined to support any of its members on the defensive

      against unjust reductions . The very opposite is the fact , and this Mr Smith himself must admit . If the Aasoula tlon wished to exercise an arbitrary power against any manufacturer , would they have sent their agvnts so repeatedly to confer with a brothtr manufacturer upon a point upon which he himself complained ? The Association is fpundtd upon the principle of protecting tho fair trading employer as «» U as it . members , and numerous instances can be adduced where the Central Committee have stept in to tht satisfaction of both employers and employed . The Ceutral Committee have already made an iffer , with a view to a settlement , through their agents ; to that offer they still adhere ; but they cannot recede in the least , as they have not the tower nor the will to enforce the hands to accept a re . duction . Thus ibe matter stands : and if the article in

      Ust week ' s Aorlh > rn Starcuw be construed into the inference that we were desirous of holding Mr Smith up as a diihonwrable employer , we are quito ansious to tn » H « the amend * honourable , as his hands generally speak of him as a good employer and that bis stuff in genital is good as other manufacturers . The word ' knobsttes" was also complained of . '' How can joucaUmy presoaipkkevs knobsticks /' , lays Mr Smith , " when they tire not recelvjng a . less price than mv old hands ? " / A knobstick is being who is careless of his own anuVuU brethren ' s interests , or , hft . w .

      " Union fortht miio * . " Fuiwrns , —It is opr intention , this week , to point out what we oonceWeto be the cause of failure in local onions , to resist effectnall y the threatened reductionsin too price of labour . In doing which , we arenot wishful to be understood as being desirous of casting any aspersions upon those who have taken the most active and prominent part in conducting localonions ; nor are we charsing them with a deficiency of energy , penetration , and prudence , neces-• ary for the efficient management of trades' sucietie * . orintnelowest degree with cursorily entering the field to do battle for Labour's rights . So farswour knowled

      ge extends they hare been men of sterling merit , of thought , of penetration , and probity ; and , therefore , the repeated failures they have experienced in connexion with their isolated bodies cannot , with propriety , be aBcribed to them , though , in general , they have had to bear the odium , and frequently charged with partiality in the distribution of funds , and oiten with embezz l ement of the same for their personal security and aggrandizement , without the slightest proof being adduced to sustain so gross and foul a calumny . Their reputation thus blasted they became loathed by the credalous and mahciousof their felloff . operativeg . viotimfod by the employer , and doomed , in consequence , to want and penur ? through a troubled life . Forthe faiTuresof local unions , we must look to Mother source than to the leaders and conductors ol tnen .

      That local unions have been proved to be palpably and signall y inadequate to perform the work assigned rVT " e no need to in 9 uire » But , should such proof be required , we hare only to refer to an examiu- i ? ™ ™ ^ toW of the trades' movements to wnreawe respectively belong : and but few whowill make that mvestitration , but what will be able to recount the sad and fearful instances in which they nwBbeen compelled to yield to the strong and grasp . ing hand of Capital . We would point out , if necessary , trades that would prove to demonstration tha painful mcompetency of sectional organization , to bear down the power that oppresses ,-ay , and trades , too , under the most flattering and promising circumstances , and yet have been unable to compete with the . presumpwouB opponents of unassuming in-The greatest power of isolated trades ' bodies , in general , has been wrapt up in noise and show , and m encnantine nromises : but thain fcnMf ;„„ « . « ,

      bubble have disappeared like an aerial phantom , provoking the vanquished , and rearing an imperiah . able monument of the utter unfitness of sectional endeavours to disentangle Labour from the pinching talons of insatiable avarioe and cupidity . HaYingassumedthe position that local unions , of themselves , are comparatively powerless and totally inadequate to procure and maintain the rights of industiy , it isinoumbent that we should point out the causes of their inefficiency . In attempting this , we do not presume to understand the particular circum stances of every respective trade in the empire . But without possession of this information , we th ' mk we shall be able to show , from incontestable evidence the unavoidable and inevitable cause why mere locally-organized unions are incompetent to resist the encroachments of capital upon the earnings of the toihmrman . 6

      In the first place , local unions have turned out to be failures , in many instances from the injudicious conduct of a pait of their members . They have lacked courage and energy , and despairing of success , they have succumbed to the unrighteous dictates of employers , and in this manner have cau « ed a premature defeat of the objects of theirsocietka , and ferced the humihatingsurrendcr of the good and true to the power thatexacta their labour withont returning an ample remuneration . ¦ Another cause of failure in local unions has bee « awantof order and discipline in their runks , —a disregard to ruleand authority , and , rather than submit to the requirements of the head , have abandoned the engagementdivided the little thev

      , power possessed , and swamped the objects they proposed to accomplish , became like a rope of sand , fluctuating as Ut t «? , and . as a natura' concomitant , thing * have gone on in a downward , zigzag , digorderiy way unta , through sheer necessity , they have been compelled to offer their labour to the highest bidder though that ahould be but a bare subsistence , orraore properly speaking , a price that brings starvation . Another cause why local union has resulted -in failure , has been the entire absence of a selfemploying and reproductive institution . Hundreds and thousands of pounds sterling have been lavished with an unsparing hand upon unproductive strikes ; keeping men idle , walking about the streets , as though the funds would never cease to replenish

      their pockets . It is absolutel y astonishing that such immense sums should have been expended to cultivate thorns and thistles , to impoverish the grain that otherwise would have ripened into a plentiful harvest , to be gathered by thejoyful and triumphant sons of toil . liad the funds so profusely lavished in supporting strikes been appropriated to the establishment ' and practical working of a self-employing and reproductive association , what incalculable advantages : would have been derived by the working classes ! A mass of squalid wretchedness and paralysing struggles would have been prevented ; and , as a substitute , we should have had a smiling multitude of freeholder * and landowners , and every trade in the empire would have witnessed the industrious portion of the community reaping the juBt reward of their labour , in defiance of grasping asd

      incorrigible avaricious capitalists . Such would have been the unavoidable issue of such an association . It is amazing that such a society as our mighty combination , and that of its amiable sister , has sot been introduced before . But we must not censure our forefathers for not adopting a system , the power and extent of which they had no possible conception They aoted totbe best of their judgment , for which they . are deserving of tho highest commendation , leaving " the more excellent way " to be developed by a more advanced and intelligent race than their own . But still the fact r « main « , that one of thr principal causes why they did not succeed in ' attaining the objects of their unions , 'was their system of sappoiting strikes to the exclusion of an association for the employment of labour in agricultures and manufactures .

      The last cauge we shall adduce , for the sake of brevity , as tending to failure in local unions , it that of their being local . The preceding causes alleged , as issuing in the subversion of the objects of local unions , may not be applicable to every trades ' society . For inttem , there are trades , when called upon to resist the encroachments of capital , have wanted neither courage nor discretion ; the greatest amount of order and discipline imaginable prevailed—where every member was active and unswervinOheeriuilj co-operating with a watchful and untirioj ^ Executive . Io addition to this , there may have be ^ j ^ iijgilislied an institution of self-employment ; ; ij&affth ' all this , oppression and cupidity ' have prorcd ' wo strew

      for such a well-organised and promising body . It may be asked , what cause can be assigned as tending to defeat the purposes of such a constituted and so formidable a union ? In leplyto which we say , Ithe cause of such an organisation failing to realise its objects , is simply the circumstance of such a society being merely local in its operations—its plans and movements have been established upon too narrow and circumscribed a basis , which necessarily limits to a narrow circle the available means of support ; and unless the available means be commensurate with the objects sought to be accomplished the attanp ! to hnrl oppression into eternal oblivion will terminate in a miserable discomfiture ol such a combination . i <

      For the attainment of great purposes , proportionate measures must be put into operation—the foundation mnst be sound , or the superstructure will be ^ feeble , temporary and delusive _ ; andI before the edifice gains its completion , ita basis will give way , and in a moment the entire fabric will tumble into ruins , and the sad catastrophe sweep away tha hopes and prospects of tbe workmen , paralysing tbeir energies , and giving them an easy prey to money-loving tyrants . And why this sad and melancholy wreck ? The men were skilful , and the materials good—the fatal cause lay in the foundation . It was not proportionable to the editice it was intended to sustain . And so with local unions . They are established upon too narrow and too contracted principles ; and every system that continues sectional anaVcircurrscribed in its operation , necessarily ! ' ' j i , ' j

      nurtures a power of self-destruction , ' and , sooner or later , perpetrates the fatal act . So long , therefore , as an * trade , however well organised , remains sectional , so long will it remain comparatively weak and defenceless , and utterly inadequate to perform tbework ' atsignedit . Indeed , how can it be otherwise ! Is not labour a national question ? It decidedly is . And our efforts to secure the rights of this national question , by doing battle for it in sections and isolated bodies , will be entirely fruitless , and give us up to the tender mercies of our task-masters . If we would achieve our national regeneration , we must co-operate upon a national principle . Oar sectional armies must combine in one aggregate and mighty association ; and witha national organisation and concentration of our divided power , go forth to victory and triumph , without a counter power to obstruct the ' engagement . | 1 < ; i :

He was greeted by the most hearty and welcome shouts from the assembled thousands , who had come to do honour to the occasion . In tbo evening , a public meeting was held al-Si Andrews Hall , the most spacious building in the " city , kindly ent by the mayor for the occasion . At ahoutsixo'deck the Hall began to be filled , and in the course of an hour several thousand persons were assembled . At seven o ' clock Mr O'Connor nnd his SSL ™ 1 «¦ ' EVPpwwwe on the platform rw ™ J ! & " alf r the lou 4 an < i prolonged shouts of theasBembly . The cheering having subsided , lAAiafi " " 1 ! ed to thechair - Oa

      Brother Electors and Friends of the popular Modoubt it will be looked upon with contempt by somo persons as a demonstration , because you , the labouring classes , compose the aggregate ; but we will let them know , before the next election comes , that w « will not permit them to trample upon our privileges . I know they have said we are not respectable ; but we do not stand upon gold , we stand upon principle . ( Cheers . ) Some of them doubt whether wt shall be able to make a stapd . But it may be said that this meeting is for the rno Bt part made up « f those who are not voters—of non-electors . Is that any cause why we should not hold our meeting ? Is that any cause why we who are electirs should not

      come forward and assert our rights ? Most decidedly not . If you are not electors , there is one thing—we know you ought to be . ( Cheers . ) I know the non-electors are greatly despised by tho electors , though when the Anti-Slavery question , or any other question of interest to tbe middle class , is agitating this country , they do not fail t « apply to the non-electors to send petitions to Parliament respecting it . But it is said popular opinion is not with us . I think the demonstration of to-day proves that we have at least some with vs who will aid us . We know from the canvass which we have made in the different wards , though it has been but an imperfect one , that there is a strong probability of our returning a Chartist candidate . ( Cheers . ) Popular

      npinion has forced Lord John Russeli to adopt certain measures ; popular opinion has forced Sir Robert Peel to adopt certain sweeping measures ; and I should not be at all surprised to hear , that , in order to gain popularity , he had one day proposed Universal Suffrage—( cheers )—and it he wants to carry with him the goodwill of the nation , 1 don ' t know that ho could propose a better measure . ( Hear , hear . ) I hope , my friends , you will remember Nelson ' s motto— " England expects every man to do his duty . " The non-electors have a duty to perform , and thoy can perform it nobly . I beg to call on Mr Barber to propose the first resolution . ( Cheers . ) Mr Barber then proposed the following resola * tion :-

      That we , tho members of the Co-operative Land Society , are determined to do all we can to forward tha same , as we think it the best means to emancipate ths working elassses from the iron hand of Oppression . He then said : We , as members of the National Land Company , are determined to do all we can to upset the proposed compromise , and to return Birch men as you may think n ' t to represent you in Parliament . It is now my intention to give you some idea of the Land System , propounded and so nobly carried out by Mr O'Connor . Two years ago , gen * tlemen , this matter was in its infancy . We have already planted one lot of members , and

      arrangements are nearly complete to locate another lot . We have most beautiful c » ttages , fit for freemen to live in ; not hovels or cellars , —not as they are in Bradford or Manchester , —but habitations fit for freemen ' s homes . There are attached to them three or four acres of good land , with a sum of money to start with . We have already accumulated £ 40 , 000 , and it is your own fault , gentlemen , if you haven't £ 200 , 000 or £ 300 , 000 by this time twelvemonths . ( Hear , hear . ) [ The speaker entered into some interesting calculations with the view of proving the great power possessed by the working classes , provided they acted upon the principle of co-operation , lie concluded an admirable address amidst loud

      applause . ] Mr Hurwll seconded the resolution , and aaid—Mr Chairman and Fellow-citizens , if ever there was a proud day for Norwich , this is that day —( Hear , hear , ) -when the . toiling sons of our city have an opportunity of seeing , and will have an oppo tunity of hearing , the emancipator of the working-classes . ( Cheers . ) If ever I felt it proud , it is on the present occasion- If ever i felt one degree of pleasure more than another , it is this evening , when I have the honour to stand by the side of an individual who has spent a fortune in emancipating the working millions of England . ( Loud cheers . ) Gentlemen , our friend , Feargus O'Connor , has travelled thousands and thousands of miles ; he has spent thousands upon thousands of pounds , and for what purpose ? As I

      have jast stated—to emancipate the > Yorking-classes of this country . It is a well-known fact that no man upon God's earth has been more abused than this individual . Virtue has been made to appear vice , and vice virtue ; and here he is : here is the man who has worked the salvation of England , now before you , and I propose that you all at this moment give him three cheers . [ Here the whole assembly rose en masse , and carried out to the full the request of tha speaker , by long and protracted cheers . ] You are aware , gentlemen , that at tbe first meeting which was held i » this Hall concerning the compromise , I was the individual who stood before you and broke up what might be fairly called something in the shape of hurabugism . ( Hear . ) Myself and others have

      brought you thus tar , and we promise you , in the name of Feargus O'Connor , and in the name of all that is true , that we wilt , wi . h your assistance , carry out our intentions to the poll . ( Cheers . ) I know that you have been told that the people are too ignorant , and that they must be educated before they have the franchise extended to them . It is not because they are not educated sufficiently , but because they are become too wise , that this is withheld front them . ( Hear , hear . ) The people of this great country are becoming wise . The p opular movement is now for the popular rights of mas , and vwbo tothem who throw a stumbling-block in the vny ' . & » men , we contend that we have tbe sii «>* right m other men have as regards iho makipg of tiic laws by which we are to be goveirwd . This is all wo ask fotr , and this we will have before we cease our a ? . iu > tiws ; .

      Yeu have heard it said in Norwich tbrxh Mr . O 'Jonaor is no friend of the people , becausu he didn't rute round the country with such ; ue ;\ as C'eWen ami Bright . Gentlemen , you have bad enough of Brae-Trade . You have found out by thi * time that ^ our Free-Trade gentlemen have put your porn under lock a . n < l key ; but now we find that God , in bis g- > od » ess , has created a prospect of a greater crop tliaa was ever known iu this country , they are compelled to pull the corn out of their storehouses . How ciuch , then , have we gained by Free-Trade ? Hesr * is a gentleman that has stood by his principles—he will stand by ours ^ and he will help and assist us not only in the princi p les of universal r ' uht to universal roan , but . also in the principle which wo are now advocating—that of freedom of election . ( Loud cheers . )

      The Chairman then called on F . O'Cownor , Esq ., who 1083- amidst the- most enthusiastic cheering , on the subsidence of , Trhich lie said : —Mr Chairman and my . Friends—If the Marquis of Douro or Mr Peto stood here just now , in thess excited times ,, upon the eve of & contested electisa , no doubt you would know what to attribute thea coming to ; but » ragi friends , I have come here , nei ta serve my o- « a purpose , but ta advance that cause which has bean dear to me during life , and raakh shall be dew to me through We . ( Cheer 8 . ) Wl »» 1 look around at this stupendous building , and when I reflect up » n that , cradle vrtuete 1 nursed thai infant which has , aow become a giant , I am furnished with an accurate and critical answer to all those who sav thai the

      principles of Democracy are on the decline . 1 remember , when first I propounded those princip les in . reality , not as they were formerly propounded , as a bit of ribbon upon a horse to he sold-not as the middle classes , or-as some of the aristocracy used to propound them , in order to show their danger and ; ensure their success , but when I first propounded I them as the piincip les of peace , as the principles of ^ contentment and happineas—l walked with -i&jf ^ crippled bantling on the tops of building ffi $ ji" 9 because it was a sightly child , I determined to nurse ^ and nurture it , until it grew to that giant strength which would now strangle all opposition , ( Cheers . ) For fifteen years 1 have rocksd that cradle / - I haw 'UtftdM- ' -tlw infwit in iu sleep , « 4 l ^ -Mt V ; - 'C ¦ .
