' Should one out of three be deprived of work , simply bmram the other two determined tc . do their ' sharo of the labour . We know that this doctrine is held out ; that it is being widely disseminated amon the . hiVho *
classes of society ; thai the colliers in Lanarkshire will not work more than a certain number of hours per day . "'* Mr Seymour Tremenheere . the government minine commissioner , says , upon the foreian trade of Lanarkshire , lhat there are large orders in Glaseo * for pig iron for Germany and elsewhere , if it could ba shipped at 60 s . to 65 s . per ton . This price Tould afford a fair profit to the lron-raaster , and a fair rate of wages to the collier and iron stone miner , enabliBK them to earn from 3 s . 6 d . to 4 s . per day , by ten hours reasonable labour . But by their combination they have bo raised the price to tho ironmaster of the raw material , that he is obliged to demand 70 s . to 753 . for the iron that he ought to be able to produce for 60 .. to 65 s . ' In this net a word is written about the profits of the master miner , or tliatot the lrtmwasler ; bnt a reduction is necessary to meet the Germans , and Ihni reduction must be made from tho iruges of the workmen and not from the raw material , or , m other words , from thuhrnfih .
&ttsr ^* t 5 ii = a ^^ ji **« -- « -- «^ 'i Mr Murray , one of the proprietor * of [ h . \ Monkland ironworks , says , ' I iiavo fae « u engftBcd if tlie iron and coal trade since 1808 . We now emnlov at our works about three thousand people . From ' tiss timo I first knew colliers they hare alwaj s been in the habit of restricting theinaelves in their Jubeur . In consoquence of this restriction of labour wo arc
obliged to keep one third more men in our emplov , and consequently build one third more housos , to Bink one third more pits , with engines , railways , horses , engine-men and drivers , and all tho other incidental expenses belonging to this adddition to our fixed costs . All this operates most injuriously against ^ us , both in our foreign and home trade , in competing with other producers at home and abroad , who have the benefit of free labour . ' IIow soro these capitalists feel on the question of free labour , and combination of workmen . How sensitive they are of the rights of capital , the injury good wages does to the community , and the great loss it is to the nation .
Restriction of labour ! how cruel . ' how oppressive ! IIow painful it must be to a well-regulated and Christian mind , that men should combine to lirethat they should say , 'Hove my neighbour asmyselt , ant he shall partake of the half of what I hate . I will not absorb all tbe labour , I will not be a real slave . My brother man shall be a partaker . ' This is not just , ye miners . You ought to work , to starve , to accumulate riches for others , and be content—because your master Bays two might live , if he would consent to starve tbe third . Surely Mr Murray must be a Christian—he must bo liberal—very liberal—ho wants you to be free , tree to walk and starve . He is one of those who teolj
upon man as a mere machine , without a soulbrought into the worid to eat , to drink , to work , to sleep , and die . What an admission lor the grand principles of Short Time . Mr Murray is compelled to employ one-third more men , one-third more of everything , because the men combine to work only a certain number of hours porday . He would like to see the . two at work , and the third ask him for work at something less—that would be free labour . Mr Murray has no desire yeu should compel him to give Is . per lb . lor meat , or 2 s . Cd . for bread , but he has a desire you should not have more than he pleases for labour , and that he would call free . Combination , say the masters , must bo dostivycd . Among this ^ hardy race , these workers in ILe mine ) , suui be civilised , they must be imlioused , aud tluwuauon the wide world for succour .
This is not a trial of strength on the part of the employers , simply on the question of ivnees . but it involves a far deeper principle—tho vrWijjle of liberty —tho principle of commencing labour whoa yon please , and ceasing when U is necessary . The specious plea of the evil effects of combination on tho price of the commodity , i » ;« protest for tho basest tyranny . and the destruction of one man assisting another in cases of difficulty . The principle of self-protection is inherent in man—and as old as the hillsa principle which all the sophistry of political economist , cannot obliterate or destroy . It stands firm as the rocks , and will prove as durable as time . It is a principle which the capitalist uphold to himself as the means of adding more riches to his wealth .
Working men of the United Kingdom , shall this principle be checkod among the miners , through your apathy or indifference ? We appeal to you on behalf of suffering humanity , on behalf of a noble , though impetuous , people . On behalf of men who have been driven to the verge of despair and death . Men whose only crime is , that they desire to live by the sweat of their brows , who desire to raise thoir children in comfort , and maintain their homes with decency—who desire to instruct their offspring in that « hich is just between man and man . Men who revere their rights and privileges , and respect the property of others . Men tvho desire to follow out the noble maxim , ' Do unto others , as ye would they should do unto you . ' 0 « u you , after their case has been duly considered , withhold your assistance ? Show some mercy—as Shakespeare saye : — It droppeth like the gentle dew from heaven It bleseotk him that giveth , And him that doth receive .
We entreat you , on behalt of the suffering babes , to assist them . Again , we say , let prejudice and ill will be buried . AH men should rush to the rescue , and assist thesebrave'men , who are lying in 'the camp ot refuge . ' You must all prove ' Lords of Brun , ' by labouring night and day in the good cause of freedom and charity to all men .
THE EMPLOYMENT ASSOCIATION . This useful association is gradually moving along in unionism with the one for the protection of labour . Its dutieB are of a , highly important character . ^ , Tho manufacturing of goods , viz ., tin plate goods , shoes , stockings , gloves , socks , serge , shirting , table-cloths , nails , &c . It is now virtually governed by the same body as the Protective Association , among whom are practicable men , and under whose management we trust it will flourish . This modo of doing business is the best way of all , because in trades' strikes the money is better applied than giving it to the men to walk about in idleness . Yet it will have some difficulties to encounter , and especially in times like the present , when tho money markets are flat , trade at a standstill , the warehouses glutted with good * , the people without the means of buying , ami tho deafness of provisions .
_ . . . „ ______ During these times the men employed will have to suffer inconveniences with respect to employment , in tho same ratio as those under raanul ' ncturers ; but not in the shnpo of less wages for a given quantity of work . A move is being made by some ot tbo buycrsto bringdown wages in the thapo oi'deiuanding extra lengths , such as thirty-seven inches to the yard , or nineteen to the half yard . This must be met with firmness on the part of the men-, but reason must bo the guide . There is ono question respecting the manufacture
and talc of goodi , which must ere long be laid before the public , ar . d that is the general depreciation in quality , hence the depreciation in value . This system must be shown to the public ,, before they can duly appreciate the intrinsic value of the commodity they purchase . Thwisandi of yards of cloth , and dozens of hosiery , are , like the Jew ' s razors , made to sell , U ianot the case with the goods made at the establishment in Tettenham-court-road ; buS they are raade by men who understand the nature of their business , and can distinguish between badi and good .
. . , The men . employod are persons who have either been discharged for advocating the rights of labour , victims to . the debasing system of low wages , or for carrying out the laws of the country against masters who were determined to pay tbeir men in goods rather than cash . The question ot spurious msinufactare , the self-employment , fair wages , and a variety oi other important matters , connected with this . Association , will be considered at no distant peliod . Tbe committee of the abova Association met , " as
usual , during the week , for dispatch of business . Letters were read from Pieston , Glasgew , Greenock , Paisley , Holytswn , Tilliooultty . Suntlerland , Liverpool , Manchester , Stockport , Chester , Daybrook , ' Dudley , Easington , Ilanley , Norwieh , Bakowell , Swindon , JtlansfieW , Blackburn , Nottingham . Birmingham , Stonrbsidgo , Barnstaple , Bolton , Keighley , Farrington , and a variety of other towns . Adhesions have been received from tho Aberdeen carpet weavers , Southwark carpet and henvth-rua weavsrs , Barrowfieid calico printers , WoIverhamptQi * tailors , « fec .
ihe committee have received a document ftom tlwUolytownminers , ' which they will answer in the early part of the ensuing week . ' Several locahUeB of importance have written to tho central oom . uiittee , stating that they shall use all tbvsir influence in furthering the views of the central committee in the Holytown miners' case . Manchester will use every means in thoir power to answer effectively the appeal of the central committee .

THE NEWTON MEETING . Perhaps such a gathering as that assembled on the Race Ground at Newton in Lancashire , upon Sunday last , a day when those living in the smoke for the week , are naturally anxious to betake themselves to recreation and amusement , is unparalleled in the history of agitation . Thousands and tens of thousands of orderly and enthusiastic disciples of a persecuted cause , then assembled on a wild heath , desolate and unpeopled , save when the sports of the
aristocracy lead to the congregation of the idle . It is in truth a theme to dwell upon , a subject to re . fleet upon , when mighty masses come 20 , 30 , and 40 miles , to prove their devotion to a cause which it was once treason to love , and death to defend . Sunday , however , was a great day for England and Chartism . As special trains from Manchester , Liverpool , and Birmingham , added their tributary streams to the mountain gathering , every road was blocked with every description of conveyance , while for miles the
footways were thronged with pedestrians—men and women—wending their way to the Chartist standard . The heath was alive , and the only solitary thing in view was the stand-house , only open for gamblers , but closed against those who might have witnessed the cheering race of jrtogtession , wherein the several competitors were impelled by the whip of per . 8 ecution , and the spur of oppression . It was a glorious sight—in the cabinet there was wisdom , in the field there was enthusiasm , As early as nine o ' clock , thirty delegates , representing all the districts
of ' SrothiLancwhire , had assembled to arrange the preliminary . At 11 , Mr 0 'Connob arrived from i . owbands , and was welcomed with z deafening cheer . , At one Roberts , the chairman , arrived , and was greeted with a similar salute . At half-past the proceedings commenced , when the Chairman opened the business with an admirable andsoulstimng address . Daniel Donovan followed , proposmg ' The Charter and no Surrender , " as the first resolution , with a recommendation to hold a Chartist Convention , and be prepared with a Chartist petition to meet the next parliament , and made a powerful and impressive speech . Mr Candelet ablv se . condedit , and Mr O'Connor supported it " Mr
. Jones of Liverpool followed with a resolution for the application of the Land to national purposes , as one of the beat means of rmJ . he grievances of the country ; and his namesake from the same place followed in an eloquent strain ; then Richard Pilling , the FATHER OF THE MOVEMENT , moved a resolution pledging the meeting to persevere in a demand for the restoration of Frost , M illiams , and Jones , all of which were carried unanimously , and amid thunders of applause ; and at five O ' Clock the several streams returned to
their several horaes . to bear the country ' s resolution back to their several towns . We cannot be expected to furnish a more extensive report , while we cheerfully refer our readera to the Manchester Times , whose reporter , during the whole lime of the meeting , was actively en-aged in taking notes ; all , herefore , who are anxious to see a copious report , will purchase that paper , and as a return of favours , and as a sure means of enlisting tlie press in our behalf , we would recommend those that are able , to purchase an extra number of the Manchester Times , and send it to a friend . As far as we are concerned .
we are quite satisfied to divide our circulation , now becoming extensive , with our brethren of the press who have the manliness and the courage to be foremost in that cause , which the whole press cf the country must ere long compete in , as it is folly to deny the fact that Chartisoi is becoming the fashionable , the all absorbing ism of the day , thanks to the indomitable martyrs of 1839 , ' 40 , and ' 42 , whose courage was weetted b y persecution . Onward and we conquer , backward and we fall ; The People ' s Charter and No Surrender ! We give the following account from the Daily News : —
Chartist Sitndat Camf MBETiNa . —The Chartists of South Lancashire had a large camp-meeting on Sunday , on the common at Newton-in-MakerfieM , sometimes called Newton-in . the-Willows > , half-way between Manchester and Liverpool , being about aixteen miles from each of those towns , and also nearly equi-distant from the smaller towns of Wigan and Warrington ; the former being about ' seven miles , and the latter six miles distant . The object of the meeting was to meefcMr O'Connor , and congratulate him on his return for Nottingham , and to discuss the Land and Labour question . The out-door demonstration was preceded by a meeting of delegates tr ain Chester , Liverpool , Stockport . Stalvbridne .
lijde , iiowden . Koohdale , St Helen ' s , As ; ley , Eceles , Hindley , Prescott , Bolton , lley * ood , Leigh . Oldham , Bury , Wigan , Warrington , and Chester At this preliraary meeting , held at the White Swan Inn . Mr U Connor was present , and the principal subject discussed was a recommendation from the Liverpool Chartists to appoint an executive , for the purpose of hiring lecturers and issuing cheap publications illustrative ot their principles . The question was adjourned to a futuro meeting , on tbe ground t hut many of the delegates had not authority from their constituents to vote either for or against the
proposijj «> . not'ce of its proposal not having been given them . The public meeting on the common , or race-course took place about half-past one o ' clock , the speakers being accommodated with standing room on some carts drawn together . The number of men assembled on the spot was between six and eight thousand ; and it may be considered a large gathering , when it is taken into account that the immediate neighbourhood , for lour or five miles in every direction is very thinly populated . There is but one cheap er third class train from Manchester , and only one from Liverpool , on Sunday morninjr , and each of the trains
had brought about six or eight hundred persona . People trom other distant towns had come in carta and other vehicles , and it was stated that there were men who had walked as many as thirty miles to be present . A good sprinkling of women mixed with the company before tbe meeting , and from the groups scattered about the common bsfore the business commenced , partaking of refreshments and enjoying themselves by strolling across the country in all directions , it wa s evident that many of them had come as gipsy or pic-nic parties , to mingle pleasure aa much as possible with business . ii j l \ : ' , . BRTS i attorney , of Manchester , was called to the chair , and opened the meeting , after which 8 l
_ Mr Daniel Donovan proposed a resolution , pledging the parties present to continue the agitation of the-People ' s Charter until it should become the law of the land , and recommending that a number of the peoples champions should meet in London on the occasion of Mr Feargus O'Connor taking his seat in Parliament , to escort him to the house , and to lend theirassistance to the getting up of a national petition in favour of the Charter , to be presented by him . The motion having been seconded , Mr O'Cos . nor addressed the assemblage in support of it . He was received with great enthusiasm . He assured them of his concurrence in every word of the
resolution , and said that it must b ' j highly consolatory to the old votaries of Chartism to find that , after ten years of slander , misrepresentation , and persecution , tho principle was net , as they had often heard it stated to be , defunct ; hut had such vitality as to draw together the splendid gathering he saw before him—inducing men out of their pure love to it to come many miles , ahd to give up theironly day of rest out of the seven , to be present . They had been asked by Tories , Whigs , and Fiee-traderato give a proof of their progress . That could only be done by contrast , and he called upon those present to contrast their present position with their past—to contrast the fact of their having 05 delegates from all parts of
the country assembled in the county of Worcester , upon the peoples' own estate , in their own building , with the circumstances under which they formerly met . Look at the contrast of the present occasion , when they were met with the sanction of the magistrates , and compare it with old times , when magis trates and authorities everywhere opposed themcompare their | progresa with thatofWhiggery—Whiggery fairly presented to them , and Hot behind the treasury benches , lie pointed them to tlie time when the only representative of Chartism in parliament was Mr Duncombe ; and now , in addition to tho returns in their favour at the lato election , he would atk them to take additional courage from tho atnte
of the polls at Sheffield , Wigan , Aberdeen , Tivcrton , and Blackburn , at all of which places they had candidateB on tho hustings . Whiggism , on tho contrary , was progressing backwards , in spite of the Reform Bill , by which it was sought to place in tho House of Commons a few Tories , many Whigs , but no Radicals or Chartists ; and their real strength in the House of Commons , with the powers of the government at their back , was only 220 ; for he callod upon their friends to be cautious how they believecVin the returns of majorities made by the newspapers , where he
, and MrDuncorabe , and Colonel Thompson , and others holding opinions equally far in advanco of them , were put down as feathers in the tail of Whiggery . Mr O'Connor went on to speak of their two estates at O'Connorvillo and Lowbands , and said he was going to Oxford the following day to lay the foundation for another . He said the Chartist 8 had altogether subscribed a sura of between £ 20 , 000 nnd £ 80 , 000 to be invested in this way , and gavo a flattering account of the position of the settlers on theso new entfttfii .
-Mr E . Jones , of Liverpool , moved thesecond resnlttlioa , which was to the effect that it wa 3 the duty of government so to legislate as to enable ihe toiling misses to protict themselves from want ,, the best way ofdoinK which wn » to give them access to the land , and calling upon government to make this a cabinet question . Mr T . Jonks seconded the motion . A resolution pledging the meeting to support the Chartist Execative in restoring Frost , Williams , and Jones having been agreed to , botli the previous ones were unanimously approved of , and the meet * ing separated .

They have attempted to dishonour everything that the nation should be proud of , and to exalt everything that the nation should shudder at . The very graves of the martyred heroes , who have bled and suffered for
Ireland , have been scoffed at , made bywords of reproach—while the sycophants , who trafficked in the blood , aud made merchandise of the credulity of their slaves , have been distinguished as paragons of excellence . But enough ; though the world is my republic , Ireland is my country—and I will heap coals otfire upen my countrymen ' s heads , by return , ing good for their evil . While the Press is daily boasting that the ' new spirits of Democracy will find their level in the
House of Commons , my consolation ^ , that the old servile hacks will be brought to their level ; because with the little band that we have now , we command the balance of power . In their market note they have set me down as a Liberal , which means a supporter of Russell , and they have set Duncombe down in tbe same catalogue , and about 80 others , thus giving the ministers a crushing assistance , an assistance ¦ which will compel them to exclaim— "Save us from our friends . "
The Whigs are doomed , and even the patronage hunting Conservative Repealers cannot save them , and why I write , is to ask you to look upon tbe recent elections as an old almanack and to tell you to prepare in time for the more independent expression of public opinion which is sure to follow . The Reform Bill merely caused a transfer of political power from the hands of one faction to thosejof another , but free-trade was a Measure which in its results must disturb the stability of the church , the privileges and manorial rights of the aristocracy ; the speculations of the capitalist , and the policy of
governments . They have struck the key-stone , and the arch must tumble ; they have grubbed the root , and the branches must perish ; they have underr ained the foundation , and the edifice must fall . Russell ' s genius was too childish and puerile to comprehend the effect that the admission of the produce of the world must have upon the vested interests that were supported upon the exclusion of that produce , and while he was making the chains suitable to speculators and the constituent body , he was not capable of understanding tfcat he was simultaneously sapping ; the interests of the poor , which were
mainly based upon the prescriptive privilege of the rich . He thought to feed the large family from that store which law would confine in the hands of the few . He hoped to enrich classes without considering the effect upon the nation . I predicted for you that the rich market being opened , all speculators in the world would traffic in it . I showed you the propbrtion which the growers of food bore to the producers of artificial fabrics , and I proved to you that the agricultural labourers should either starve or become paupers , or be competitors in the artificial market , and now mark the approximation to my prediction ; wheat , which I told you would sell for 60 s . a quarter , was last Saturday bought in Gloucester
market for 52 s . a quarter , whereas nine weeks ago it was 112 s . in the same market ; and when the large supply grown upon speculation all over the world comes into the English market , two-thirds of the English agricultural labourers will be driven into the competitive artificial market , or must be supported by the farmers , and then , as I predicted , the pillars of the state , the yeomen of the state , the brawlers for church and ting , will be transformed into the rebels of the state ; and Chartism ' s next greatest difficulty will be to suppress an agricultural revolution . Then the landlords will rebel against the crown and against the church , and the church will rebel against the constitution ; for , as I have often told
you take away tithes and privileges , and fhe church and the landlords become the greatest rebels . With their loss of power their loyalty evaporates , and as a protection against those rebels , ministers must rebel against national faith ; and to save the country from a revolution that would transfer power to the conquerors / all must rely then upon the soundness , the judgment , the virtue , and the valour of Chartism , in explanation of which , and to conclude my letter , I will give you the following striking instance . I published the fact recently , that a friend of mine had kindly presented ray Non-Electors' Committee at Nottingham with £ 5 a man , for their services , and here follows the proud , the virtuous reply of framework knitter * and
stockingers , not one of whom had a week ' s provision , or knew where to get it . It it too grand , too sublime , to offer a comment upon , it shall speak for itself : Nottingham , August 11 th , 1847 . Dear Sir;—At a meeting of the general Committee of the Non-Elector 3 of Nottingham , held at the sign of the King of the French , on Tuesdaj , August 10 th , 1847 , it was unanimously resolved : — 'That we do most respectfully decline to accept the present of
money to the Committee of the Non-Electers of Nottingham , made by your friend , and mentioned by yourself in the last week ' s Northers Star . We consider we are amply repaid in the never-to-beforgottenjet astounding fact , that we havs conquered . I remain , yours , < fcc . On behalf of the Committee , D . C . Gregory . Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., M . P .
Read that , ye five pound hucksters of Conciliation Hall ; read that , ye drivelling Repeal candidates , who qualify yourselves as representatives by the payment of five pounds to traffickers in their country ' s liberty . Gentlemen , who have written and signed that letter , myjthanks are but a poor tribute to offer to your patriotism ; your noble self-denial adds immeasurably to the virtue of Chartism ; your virtuous devotion must cause sycophants to blush . Ever your faithful friend and uncompromising advocate , Feargus O'Connor .
