      RESURREC TI ON ~" o F BIRMINGHAM . GLORIOUS MEETING IN THE TOWN-HALL . K <) t since the celebrated times of Birmin" --fcam ' s most palmy days of agitation , has such 3 scene beea witnessed in { hat town as was presented on Tuesday night last . THE DEAD CHARTISTS , entomVetf \> y the Scotch pedlar in 1839 , have once more taken the field in the Reform garrison . The Commissioners very kindly ( seeing the ineffi-< acy of Free Trade ) granted the Fre ^ e-Labour League the free use of their own ijMding — the Town-Hall—to hear an address from Feargus O'Connor , Esq .. and to welcome him with a sight of their revival .

      ! The working men , now capable of distin-I guishing between their friends and their I enemies , selected Mr Town-Councillor Baldwin—who did not wait for the days of their strength , to assist them in their struggle—to take the chair . The vast building was crowded in every part to suffocation , although the seats were all removed , and many who could not procure standing room climbed the posts , and remained in that -awkward situation during the whole proceedings . It was a most magnificent sight ; enough to make the heart of -every persecuted Chartist jump with joy .

      The Chairman , in introducing Mr O'Coniior , congratulated his townsmen upon the splendid display they had exhibited in honour of their principles . He said , that like himself , every ether man of his class , and of all classes , should take advantage of that and every , other opportunity afforded for discovering any means , no matter by whom propounded , for improving the condition of the people . ( Cheers , ) For himself , he was not astonished that the great

      inducements promised from increasing trade had seduced many farmer . 3 , and others of the agricultural class , to abandon the pursuits of their ancestors , and try their fortunes in the mure fascinating and promising speculations . There was one thing clear , however , and that was that no man could now shut his eyes to the two-fold necessity of securing a sufficiency of humanjfood , and remunerating those who produced it . ( Loud cheers . ) He had every confidence in the wisdom and discretion of his

      townsmen , and , therefore , he rested satisfied that his duty would be one of easy performance , because , like himself , all others constituting that meeting- had come there to hear the value of a new principle propounded , and he had ; much pleasure in introducing Mr Feargus O'Connor to their notice . w O'Connor , on risinsr , was received , with the most enthusiastic feelings of welcome and joy , which were repeated again and again He said—Men of Birmingham , this night affords me a great and a glorious triumph . There was a time when it was dangerous for

      me to stand upon this platform—in the days of jour Free-Trade madness . ( Hear , hear- ) And , as I find you are penitent , and as you owe great atonement to the labouring people of England , upon their behalf I am ready to forgive you , and give you absolution for the past , provided you will never again swell th triumph of the tyrant . {( Cheers . ) Provided that you will never again disgrace the cause of Freedom and of Labour , by following the Free-Trade loaf—of which you * could not procure even a slice—with gaping mouth and delusive cheer- There is no town in England that has

      inflicted a greater wound upon the cause of Freedom and Labour , than the town of Birmingham . Ever ready to transfer its power from quack to quack , from deluder to deceiver , until , at length , the force that carried the Refoim " Bill , became the jest of the oppressor , ( Cheers . ) 1 thought the day would arrive when I would have lived down prejudice , and when the solid principles that I advocated , strengthened by persecntion and oppression , would establish a safe standing place for themselves upon this platform . ( Cheers . ) And now , I would ask , where is the other principle

      from which so much was expected , and from which so much was promised , that could secure nsjch a gathering as this ? ( Cheers and " None . '') Yes ; hut there was a time when rou witnessed Seven ruffians lying upon my chest , and threatening to murder me upon this platform ; there was a time when I was obliged to inarch the National Guard of Bilston am' Wolverhampton fifteen miles , under -a broilin-r ssn , into the town of Birmirig ^ liam , to 3 iv . " it fr' > m its own matlne *? - ( Cheers . ) There was a time when the Edmondses , the Salt * , and the DuiurS . ssis , denounced me as an

      IrUhman and an alien , and d ; imi me to stand be . ' ore the ptoj . Ie of llirziun ^ iiiim . I accepted t ; . <» threat , however . I came , stranger and alien as I was . I stood upon this platform , in th ? midst of 10 , 000 people ; and , stranger ami alien as I was , I dissolved the union of f—v : « l—\ l « u 4 cheers)—and exposed the treachery of my accusers . Now , that win somet ! iir ; g iii dangerous times , when you were biiutiiy following those who had no earthly oh-Teuf in view hut their own interests ; smtl as 6 II 0 H : l < the Keform postman left their tickets

      for soup at their doors , they deserted you , and , like the Radicals of old . they said—Why do you grumble ? What do you want ? Have WE not g'tt Reform ? ( Loud cheers and laughter . ) Are « -e m-i town clerks , and town councillor * , snd recipients and distributors of patronage ? And where , now , was the flaming George Edmonds—the physical force Kerry Douglaswhen he . the destructive , the deluder , was able to stand before their townsmen ? ( Loud cheers . ) The threat of a hundred thousand Birmingham men-at-arms marching to Londhi . affrighted the isle from its propriety , the Iron Duke out of his wits , and tiie Opposition out of the Keform Ml . ( Cheers . ) But he ( Mr O'Connor ) wouJd much rather see a hundred thousand men-at-arms marching in quest of their own sentry-box and their own labourfieid , than on a " crusade to gain power far others . ( Loudcheers . ) He understood that the Peace Preservation Society had been disa-ijiointed in their intention to hold a meeting in that Haii , and , no doubt , they would have toili •¦! their hearers with lon-j oialiens against tii-o bwlmrilv and injustice of war ; but he asseru < d that they never would relinquish that power which thev possessed of making Labour tributary to iliei ' r jurisdiction . [ Cheers . ) He ( Mr O'Connor ) vma moie redly and sin-< ert- ] y opposed to all war , to all cruelty , Wbarity * . and bloodshed , than any member of that sycietv , but lie considered death from ¦

      " ' •¦¦ " ¦•¦ iiiiou the worst description of death , i a d . therefore , he had propounded a jrmtt ! ri ; u ; . ; i ; a ! principle , around whose standard so ! V * - ' - ' : •!• i mi ' iiirit of national force had rallied . \ l- ! - 't tin ? people of this country would never p H '" -i < endanger the success of that pnn- j ' - ' . . ¦ I ? by justifying the oppressor in the appla" * - \' *¦•' ¦ : iff physical force . ( Cheers . ) No , the ;; people of this country have grown too wise to a : "i the oppressor with the deadliest of all fc ' eap / jaa — ths prtsuraed justice ef using them .

      ( Cheers . ) But , upon this point , let him not be misunderstood , as , in the worst of times , he had never coined ideas to suit the taste of the fastidious ; but had advocated principles upon the same grounds , whether threatened by strength , persecution , and lewdness , or tolerated by weakness and terror . ( Cheers . ) For these reasons he had never preached the blasphemous and debasing doctrines of unconditional passive obedience and non-resistance , or of unconditional loyalty . ( Cheers . ) No , he could not understand the description of loyalty that was due by the millions of his poor m m \ 1 » ^^^ - .

      countrymen who were starved to death . ( Great sensation and cries of " Shame . ' ) He could not understand the policy which demanded unconditional loyalty from the Irish people , who ' . were compelled to starve in the midst of abundance created by themselves , and he ( Mr O'Connor ) proclaimed , before that meeting of Englishmen , that , as an Irishman , he would not dishonour justice , disgrace himself , or insult his country , by professing unconditional allegiance to the ' monarch that governed her or the laws that persecuted her . ( Tremendous cheering . ) Yes , he was proud

      of being an Irishman , and he repeated to that monster meeting of Englishmen , that if he could prevent it they never should possess their liberty an hour before his countrymen had possessed theirs . ( Great cheering ;) The Irish were called barbarians" by their ' , oppressors to justify their own persecution ; but Ireland was a civilised nation centuries before England was discovered , and was made harbarous by English laws . ( Cheers . ) He would now inform them of his expectations from that great National Plan / of which he had been the propounder . He found England , that is

      the Lnglish industry , paying forty millions of money in little less than a year for the produce of other couutries , which they might have more beneficially secured from the land of their birth —( cheers)—and this incubus borne by the industrious portion of the nation , for no other assignable purpose than that the speculators in labour may close the free labour market , create a degrading dependence , and make England tributary to the foreigner , and a beggar at his door , " for the food her sons could produce at home , if every man was allowed to live in the sweat of his own brow ,

      instead of , as now , the industrious starving . and the idler ' s luxury . simultaneousl y increasing . ( Great cheering . ) Their worthy chairman had proclaimed a great and irrefutable truth , when he told them that the fascinations of trade had seduced the husbandman from his natural pursuits , and they would soon discover that this system of drying Nature's pap would lead to the starvation of Nature ' s children . ( Cheers . ) The Earth was our mother , and if our tender nurses or guardians compelled us to depend upon the foreign breast , our strange nurses may wean us—nay , famish us—whenever they pleased . ( Cheers . ) But the worst was not

      the mere expenditure of forty millions in what we might have produced ourselves more profitably at home , but the grievance was augmented threefold , by the fact that the abstraction of that amount of money from productive uses at home led to diminished foreign tradeto diminished domestic consumption—and to the diminution of English wages to more than one hundred millions . ( Loud cheers . ) Now that ' s the enemy , that ' s the hobgoblin , against which my system contends . My system proposes to make every man his own producer and his own consumer . My system proposes that every man shall be " capable of judging of the value of his own free labour , so that

      when the capitalist requires to hire it , if the free labourer discovers that he can earn 3 / . a week as his own master , he will not work for 15 s . a week for another master . ( Cheers . ) But in this plan , as in our attempt to secure political equality , we have been most frustrated by these who have measured labour ' s right hy the comparatire , instead of the positive scale—by those aristocratic tradesmen who , receiving 30 s . and 2 / . a week themselves , scoffed at my battalion of fustian jackets , blistered hands , and unshorn chins , who had but the alternative of entering the competitive labour market , or

      the poor law bastile . ( Cheers . ) Now , however , the demands of an increasing idle class npon the exchequer of a diminished labour class , has puzzled the wits of our rulers , and they are unable to make both ends meet . ( Cheers . ) Yes ; these things would never be accomplished by a House of Fools , who were wholly ignorant of all labour questions ; and he would make bold to assert , that he would select from the labour community 658 , who would make fool .- , of the 658 philosophers in the House of Commons—( cheers)—I include myself . One principle of political economy tells us , that when

      one channel of industry is closed , another , as if by magic , is opened ; " but now that the necessity of importing a large amount of food has dosed all artificial channels against labour , where is the possible outlet , save in the return of man to hisjnatural pursuits at agriculture ? ( Cheers . ) But then I am told that he could not he trained to the performance of agricultural work . How silly I when we know that God created the land , and man to till ; and the devil created machinery , and decreed man to he ground by it . When we know that it takes seven years to learn to make a coat , and

      not seven minutes to learn how to stick a cabbage . ( Great laughter and cheers . ) That it takes seven years to learn ho . v to make a pair of shoes , and not seven seconds to learn ho v to dibble a grain of wheat . ( Cheers . ) But every principle is difficult in its practical details ^ when its object is the improvement of the industrious ; but the most complicated are simple and manageable , which declare man to be born in the Custom House , and buried in the Exchequer . ( Cheers . ) No system of taxation which requires the enforcement of means for idlers to live upon , is complicated or difficult ;

      but ever } - system is visionary and impracticable , when its object is labour ' s benefit . ( Cheers . ) You have been studiously kept in ignorance of the value of the land , while , from it is produced , hy the simplest , most healthy , and remunerative labour , everythingjyou eat—everything you drink—everything you wear—everything you eat off of—everything you lie upon—everything you lie under . ( Laughter . ) Now are you not ignorant , when you appear astonished that your bed and bedclothes . your table , your chair , every stitch upon your b » ck is all p roduced from ' the Land ; and that man ' s labour , applied

      to that source , constitutes it his bank , wherein he can coin his sweat into the most valuable produce , that can be exchanged for every article of luxury produced in other clinics , or manufactured by machinery . ( Cheers . ) That is not the sole value of the Land Plan , because it further tends to diminish the competitive surplus in the labour market . and thus increase * wages , by opening up this new channel for the employment of reproductive labour . ( Cheers- . ) For instance , the dismissal of thousands of

      ¦ J < i < 1 i 1 hands from railways and other works , has thrown a great competitive surplus into * the labour market , and yet with thU power to diminish wages , I have not reduced the wages or my men in any one department , consequent upon that glut , —( loud cheers)—but , on the contrary , if thePlau progresses as lhave every reason to expect , befoie the summer passes I hope to be able to employ ten thousand \ nbourers at mv remuerative employment . ( Iremendous cheering . ) What ministry , or what power of . the press—the corrupt , the profligate ,

      Untitled Article

      the liberty-slaying press—will be enabled to resist labour in such a march as that ? ( Cheers . ) The press may denounce me , and may seek to alarm yoa ;| but I tell you that I heed i ' ts wrath but as the invective of the scolding cook , the kitchen-maid , or the dog-boy , who scold at their master ' s bidding . ( Loud cheers . ) It is ten years and more since I told you that we 1 ved in new times , and required new minds to _ a _ a * ~ -

      govern us , but it is hopeless to talk to a- scion of the House of Bedford , of the iniquity ' of the tithe system , while his family are such large partakers of the plunder . It is hopeless to expect any assault upon the worn-out privileges , upon which idlers live in luxury , from those who are the largest recipients from that source ; but , as well ma y they ho pe to continue the old rule of asrsriissinn nvp . r thn imi ^ n ,, ^ n * , A ; m _ rule of aggression over the improved and

      improving mind of this country , as to expect the destruction of the gas and gasometer , and the return to the farthing candle—to expect the destruction of steam navigation , and the return to a reliance upon wind and wave—the destruction of the printing press , that quick medium of exchange of opinions—thejdestruction of the electric telegfaph-andof the results of the

      manifold discoveries , all tending to displace man from his natural position , as to hope that , while all other sciences are rapidly , hurry ing on to the goal of perfection , the science ' ' of legislation is alone to stand stilly or that the mind created by the improvements iii those sciences , will tolerate the legislation of the farthing candle minister in the . se days of gas enlightenment . ( Loud cheers . ) Then , when they talk ' of increased taxation as necessary for the increased

      improvement of our national defences ,- 1 sayj " Go , level ynut maritime defences—go , spike your guns—disband your mercenaries—put your idlers upon the peace establishment , and rely upon a cordon of generous hearts for the protection of your nation ' s greatness and your national wealth . " ( Loud cheers . ) Let every soldier be placed in his own sentry box , in the centre of his own labour-field , and then , England may defy the foreign invader —( Cheers)—but now that her exploded system , of which she was the propounder , the founder , and the upholder , is tottering into ruins around her ,

      she hopes that a recurrence to the paper architecture of the original ' projector will still protect her in the midst of universal convulsion ^ Look to the Italian states , struggling " for liberty—look to Austria seeking to upTtold its , despotism—look to PortugaLliying in a . r 0 yo r tion—look , to Spain , with a population of four- ' teen millions , and only ninety-nine thousarii electors—look to . France , where legitimacy , as it is called , depends upon the life of an ailintf old woman—and look to America , where the temptations of the landless have enabled her rulers to wage a most savage , barbarous ,

      unjust , and unnatural war for the augmentation of a territory which all the population of the world could not cultivate—and then , tell me that any thing short Jof an improved system of social and political protection will satisfy the improved mind of the country . ( Cheers , and a voice— "You forgot Switzerland . " } Yes ; but 1 haven't forgotten Ireland nor England neither . ( Cheers . ) Well , then , is it not something that we alone should be ready to take advantage of the worst that may occur ? and , is it not something to he able to boast of the pleasure that I derive from my labours on behalf

      of the industrious ? I have been in Worcestershire this morning , and bought seven more horses —( loud cheers)—and nearly a score of cattle to make manure for the labourer , and plou ghs , and harness , and scufflers ; and now , after some experience in the principle and working of co-operation , I am enabled to propose in the next month ' s number of the " Labourer ''—the whole of which I have written this week—( loud cheers)—a further reduction in the rent of allotments to four per cent , upon the outlay . ( Tremendous cheering . ) And I have been enabled to recommend the

      distribution of bonuses , besides the interest paid upon deposits in the Bank , out of a source wholly created hy my own industry , perseverance , and economy . ( Renewed cheering . ) Now this is what practical co-operation has taught me , and if my suggestions are acted upon , I will henceforth be able to locate ten for one . ( Cheering ) . I presume you are ; iware that I have purchased nearly 300 acres of land within twelve short miles of Birmingham —( uproarious applause )—and what a demonstration there will be from Birmingham , to witness that realisation of the Chartist

      principle on May-day . ( Loud cheers . ) Anri how the value of that principle will be developed , when the able-bodied man on strike , and unable to procure employment , shall visit his friend , who is his own master and employer , and , instead of skilly and the workhouse , shall be welcomed to a piece of bacon in the freeman ' s castle . ( Renewed cheering . ) I shall build nearly a hundred sentry boxes there , and will they not be more forcible propounders of the principles of freedom and the value of labour , than their most eloquent expounder ? ( Cheers . ) I should like to see the recruiting sergeant

      and his kidnappers beating up for recruits in the Ely . sian fields ; I should like to see the women making chin-stays and ' eap-howa of their military favours . ( Cheers and laughter . ) Ah ! the place for them to recruit is in the bastile and the market place , amid despondency and despair ; at an Irish funeral , or the factory town . But I have no objection to an augmentation of the militia to any amount , provided the defenders of privilege are selected from the privileged order , and compelled to meet the foreign invader . ( Great cheering ) When I am located near you , I will return the complement of this invitation . ( Loud cheers . ) And then as I progress , you shall witness my

      operations , while I will instruct you in the value of their fuller developement . ( Cheers . ) I now enlist yon once more on behalf of the Charter and the Lund , telling you that you must rely upon my honour , and disregard the vituperation of a prostitute press—that I will remain amongst you as a hostage —( cheers )—that I am bound to you by ties of affection and feeling , which no power c ; m sever—that I have ; i pride in your success that no words can express , and that in spite of all the opposition of the world , I will goon struggling with you til ! I lead your wives and little children out of the house of bondage into the land of freedom , and place every man in his own sentry box , in the centre of his own labour field .

      Mr O'Connor resumtd his seat amidst the most deafening cheering ; his speech was frequently interrupted by the waving of dense columns amid the wedged mass of human beings trying to escape the suffocation , while a jeastl y drunken attorney's clerk , who stood in the front of the gallery , after frequent attempts to create a disturbance , was unceremoniously hustled out of the meeting ' Mr Fiisbki . i . proposed , and Mr Fallows seconded , a vote of thanks to Mr O'Connor , for his exposition of his principles , and encouraged him to persevere in hi-i good work .

      iUr Smith rose , in tin } organ ;> : d ! ery , to propose as an amendment , " That that meeting felt gre ; it disappointment in not hearing a full developi'ineiit of the details of the Land Plan , and that the meeting be therefore adjourned to another night . " After frequent inquiries by the Chairman , an individual in the body of the Hall seconded the amendment . The Chairman said that > w »»> ure Mr

      Untitled Article

      O'Ponhor would answer any question that was put to him , but that the meeting was not called ; for discussion . Mr O ' Connor , however , requested that Mr bmitn might be allowedto proceed , when that gentleman continued , and said : That he was sure many felt equally disappointed as himself at not hearing the details of the Land Plan more fully developed . - ( Shouts of "No , no •" mid " Read , the ruJes . ») lt was forthat re ' ilud as he Wished for more information upon the subject , that : he proposed to adjourn the meeting to another night ' . 1 — . «¦¦« * -

      Mr O Connor again came forward , amid renewed , cheer 9 , and said : It U not to my indisposition to develope the Land Plan more fully , but to the impossibility of doing so at a meeting of this kind , th ; it Mr Smith is to attribute the want of that information that he expected , but it is rathe * hard that after hav . ing written thousands of , columns u ; , ' \< the subject—after having . written a Practical Tv ! .-tise upoa the subject—after having matib innumerable seeches upon the siioje . cfcand after * % ules . had been printed upon the subject ^ -which Mr Smith ' ' might have

      read —( loud cheers )~ that I should be called upon to enter into voluminous details , and figures , as he states , when , in the state of itn avoidable confusion , it would be impossible to pitch ' the voice in this vast assemblage so as to preserve a necessary unbroken line of argument . ( Cheers . ) But 1 am told that 'Mr Smith ' s anxiety is baaed upon other grounds . I have learned that he himself is the propounder of a new and a rival plan . ( Cheers and laughter , and a cry of " No . " ) Well , I regret it , as I wish for all helpjupon this

      question . ( Cheers , and a cry from the same voice of " His plan is practicable , and yours iinot . " Hisses . ) Well , I thank my friend for ; his rather incautious admission that Mr Smith is the propounder of apian , while the same '; person denied the assertion when I made it . ( Great laughter and cheers , ) Well , but even that shall not prevent me from rendering all the assistance in my power to Mr Smith , or any " other jperson who will kindly volunteer- to take a portion of the burden off my shoulders , upon the same terms that I bestow my labours . ( Loud cheers . ) And , in presence of

      | nis meeting , I begfo assure Mr Smith that the columns of Xhe ^ orthern Star and my h e . ^ t Assistance shall be at his command , free of tehjarge , for the . developement of his plan ; ( Great cheering . ) But am f to enter into de-¦ tails . published in our rules , for the information of all who will not take the trouble to read them ? ( Cheers . ) But if it is any satisfaction to him and others , hoarse as I now am , I will state that the principle is , that every man who pays £ 2 . 12 s . 4 d , is entitled to be balloted for two acres ; that every man who pays £ 3 . ] 8 s . 6 u \ , is entitled to he balloted for three

      acres ; and every man who pays £ 5 . 4 s ., is entitled to be balloted for four acres ; then , if he want fuller information as to the \ 'alue of the system , let him read Mr Sillett ' s admirable practical work upon the subject , and there he will find that Mr Sillett gave £ 236 . for two acres of bad land , without a stone or building upon it ; and that this Mr Sillett would not accept of £ 4 . a-week to leave his two acres of land , and go to any other employment . ( Loud cheers . ) Again , let him read an account of the operations of Samuel Bridge , in the " Labourer ' s Friend " - Magazine , wherein it is

      shown that this man paid an enormous rent for four acres of clay land , and which he cultivated in the rudest' way , selling his wheat straw—and that that man , even upon the rudest system , was able to purchase his four acres , and to purchase over forty acres more land and erect buildings upon it , and all out of the produce of his own industry expended upon those four acres . ( Loud cheers . ) Let him read my letter upon the profit to be made upon the cultivation of three acres of land , and there he will find it shown , that after paying rents ,

      rates , and taxes , and all outgoings for fuel , clothing , for family , and expense of implements , and after allowing 17 s . ' J 5 A . a week for food for the family , that a man , from 107 days / labour , and after paying those outgoings , and living well , and educating his family , will have 4 il . profit at the end of the year . ( Loud cheers . ) And then let it not be said that this is only my assertion because the " Farmer ' s Gazette , " which reprints the whole letter , says in answer to a correspondent , "that very much more may he realised from three acres of

      land than what is stated by Mr O'Connor . ' ( Great cheering . ) And then the editor of the " Gardener ' s Gazette" refers his correspondent to a treatise upon the subject , written by Mr Quin . But I do not even halt here , / or when I am your neighbour , if Mr Smith could insure me a sitting audience of a thousand or two thousand people who can hear , he shall have as many lectures as he pleases upon the principle , the object , and the details of the Land Plan . ( Great cheering . ) And with these observations I leave the question with you .

      The amendment and original resolution were then put from I he chair , when the original resolution was carried ; and upon the Chairman submitting for or against the original resolution , only two hands were held up against it . Mr Goou wix proposed , and Mr O'Coxxon seconded , a vote of thanks to the Commissioners for the free use of the Hall , which was carried unanimously . A vote of thanks was then proposed to the Chairman , which was seconded b y acclamation , and carried amid rapturous applause .

      The Cuaikman expressed himself thankful to his townsmen for the orderly and praiseworthy manner in which they had conducted themselves , and begged to observe , that in sucli a meeting as that , where the people were wedged together to suffocation , it was impossible to avoid those unintentional interruptions , which was wholly consequent upon the waving of so dense a mass endeavouring to escape suffocation . He thought that it was due to his townsmen to s = iy , that never , under all the circumstances , had he witnessed a better behaved , or more orderly or attentive meeting , and which he now declared dissolved . Loud cheers were given for the Chairman and Mr O'Connor , and the meeting separated .

In accordance with the above resolution , the meeting was held in the Strathmore Hall , when , after tea had been served ia betwirt four and five hundred persons , Mr James Simpson opened the meeting by giving a sketch of the society ' s progress during the last year—stating that the members had received fifty percent , for their capital ; and that notwithstanding these enormous profits , their customers have been benefited to the extent of £ 400 on

      braad , meal , and sugar alone—a sum sufficient to clothe and educate all the children in the village , or pay the interest of a capital at four per cent ., which would be adequate to employ the whole working po-Dulation of this place . After urging on the meeting the neceesity and importance of the great principles of co-operation , the chairmnn concluded by introducing Mr M'Crae , who made some severe stricturei upon tho manner in which articles of food were adulterated , and showed the va ? t utility of societies such as this , where the solfi-h motives which led to such nefarious practices did not exist .

The secretary read the appeal from Nottingham on b ? hnl ; of funds to enable Mr O'Connor to defend his seat in parliament against the spleen and malice of tfioao who have petitioned against hi- * election After an animated discussion on the propriety of sending a por > dsum in aid of the same it was ultimately aureedto . that £ 1 . ba sent off immediately and that means ba taken to collect the town to increase our donation . The members of the Lani-1

      C rapany also ajrped to send £ 1 . in addition toour 9 ; this making two pounds as the first subscription for Carlisle . I doubt not but we shall raise the sum of h ' vo pounds , even with our present depression of trade ; ansl if other towns , in proportion to their population . Bund a similar sura , the required amount , and something more , will be raised ; and who is there that can afford it , will not give his mite , when tho honour of the Chartist movement is at stake ; for , if Mr O'Connor he thrown out , it will be a stigma on the whole body : therefore , it 13 the dufy of every Chartist to do what he can , cither as a contributor or a collector .
