  -CHARTISTS OF GREAT BBITAIN . Fbiksds asd Brethren , ; ' - " ;} We avail ourselves of the opportunity afforded by the first grand Metropolitan Meet ing held under out administration , to afford * ou some idea of that policy which we intend to adopt for the purpose of imparting vigour to the cause of resuscitating . Chartism ; , and y ^ this spontaneous readiness on our part , to ri ^ e an account of enr stewardship at so early % day after our election to office , as well as by the plans we are about to make known to you , tfc believe that we are affording the ; country lie best possible proof that no time has been iraste d in entering seriously , actively , and energetically upon the important duties en > trustedto ns . , { . ¦ : " ; ... ' / ' : _ .-. ' ; .: '
  
  In the first place , we have directed our atteniion to the propr iety of holding several grand Metropolitan Meetings , in the largest places jhat can be obtained for such assemblages ; and also in localities the inhabitants of which hare not hitherto been much accustomed to bear anything of Chartism save through the studied , intentional , andunwearied misrepre sentations of thy principal newspapers of the flay . Whether we have commenced our series of " great meetings in a fitting place , and a proper neighbonrhood , we mnsf . leave those -who are acquainted ^ with the London Tavern ; and who are aware that it is in the very heart of tbe city of London , to decide . , ' ; ' ; . ;
  
  la the second place , we are about to promulgate to the country , at an earl y day , a system for local organisation ; and this will be the very first measure to . whichvrepropose to address our attention in the course of the enang fortuight . * Thirdly , we have it in contemplation to hire upon lease some large , commodions , and wellsitnated place of meeting , where weeHyassemblages may be held , and where lectures may be deliverer ! : —and should it prove difficult to obtain snch a place as may be in all respects anitable for the purposes named , we propossto negotiate -with' a bnilder for the erection of a Chartist Hall , in a spot " conveniently « entraL < - . . . ' ' .. ''"" l . . " . ¦ . „
  
  Fourthly , we have already deliberated , and shall shortly renew , the ; discussion npon the propriety of caUing a Conference to assemble in London , in the middle of ttie month of March , -for ! the purpose of giving additional rigonr to the Ohartist movement , and affording the People ' s real representatives , thuB chosen , an opportunity of proclaiming the requirements and interests , the demands and the rights , of the indnstrions classes , at the same time that ihe representatives of aristocracy , capital , and landed interest , are assembled at St . Stephen ' s .- > : v :,
  
  Tifthly , we purpose to make arrangements for the publication and gratuitous distribution of Tracts , wr itten , in a plain and calmly argumentative style , so that the wrongs and sufterings of the masses may be expressed : at the same time that the remedies may be suggested ; and that the people generally may be well prepared to make a worthy use , of those rights and privileges of which it is hoped they wffl soon become the possessors . :
  
  Sixthl y , we have resolved to place ourselves in communication with the democrats of Ireland , and to solicit their co-operation in the great moral strugglejwhich the nnrepresented and enslaved masses in England , Scotland , an& Wales , have undertaken against aristocratic tyranny , class-legiBlationi and oligarchial oppressioa . - = Seventhly , we shall appeal to the democrats in the colonies to unite their voices with those of their suffering brothers and sisters in the mother ~ country ; and - we shall ; assure ' - the dwellers in those misgoverned portions of the empire , ] that they have , our warmest sympar thies , and must give ns theirs in fetnrn . , "¦ -:
  
  Eighthly , we Lava resolved to call upon ihe Jpeat cities and towns of England and Scotland to adopt immediate measures for 'the furtherance of the good cause by a vigorous * n d energetic , though peaceful , legal , and moral agitation for the People ' s Charter . We invite our friends and brethren in those cities « nd towns to derblope as speedfljii and as fervidly as possible , all the resoraices of which local effort M 7 dapabieiVmd ; ' ^ Hcli ' iMatJi « menace" public" tranquillity ; nor ; violate : the ; law . We recommend large meetings to be called ; and , under suitable arrangements ; we propose that deputations froni-yonr Provilional Committee ,, should visit those places where their services wonld be useful :
  
  Thisf is the owme of the policy unanimously r adopted by - your Proyisionar Committee . If ihe Chartists of the metropolis , and the provinces , will support- ; us , ve have no doubt of our ability to carry into execution « U the plans jost shadowed forth . The result will be to give Chartisni : such ^ an imposuig Attitude as it never has assumed before ; and , with the middle classes agitating for reform on tbe one hand , and the industrious classes sustaining their own gr ^ aud , ehliglitene ^ , / and Majestic movement on" the other , no considerable length of time can elapse ere . monopo lisers of power . and = oppressors of all kinds Shall be forced to abandon their strongholds , « Hd yidd to the voice of juBtic ^ an d ^ ibeiu-es Jareoftruth .

  they—if in the same position—wonld be' guilty of the" same shame , and the shame was ; wholly based upon their disunion !/; . ( Cheers . ) . Then the mill-lords ,, who repudiated taxation ,, never said a word about the poor-rates , because it enabled them to keep up an idle surplus reserve , by which they were enabled' to 'keep down wage s . / ( Cheers . j ; This machinery , ; of which , they had the entire control , and / which came npon them with a hop , step , and a jump , enabled them to control tiie labour , market .: And only see the use and the profit that they could make of it .

  were ' said to employ from six thousiind to seven thousand hands ; the Fieldens of Todmofden , somewhere about 5 , 000 ,: and others ^ QOOi . 3 , 000 , 2 , 000 , and so downwards ; but he would take the position of one employ ing 2 , 000 , and if . that man reduced the wages of his hands by 2 s ^ a ; -vreek , and many did bo to-a much larger extent—he ; would make £ 200 a week , or £ 10 , 400 annual profit upon this reduction alone .- ( Hear . ) Then if there were -inj shopkeepers amongattbem . let them bear in mind , that they would be - greater' gainerait th ^ t £ 10 , 400 came into their tills , than , ; as now , when it was used in railway , and other .

  money lord against the landlord ,, in the hope . of being able to wrench political power from their nan& *; wliile his object was to wrenca it -from the grasp of both , and make mind , and not ¦ money , the basis of representation . ( Cheers . )' -. What could be more ridiculous than to see a doating old man and a dissipated young spark sitting cheek by jowl hi the House of Commons , professing to represent labour , while they both lived in idleness and luxury upon the labourer ; while the labourer- lingered " , on ia peaury and ¦ - [ wretchedness . ( Shame ! Shame I ) Aye , but the shame was with themselves . The system upon which ; the atrocity was based was founded upon their disunion , - ; as the o marr who received 30 s . a week scoffed , at him who received
  
  10 s . ; while both derided the . unwilline panper-who w . os committed to the . workhouse , while ,, if . united , each might receive £ 3 a week . ( Loud cheers . ) ^ He had often told : them that if all the dukes , lords , baronet 3 , feudal-lords ,: and money-lords were congregated together , the top of a small M would , be adfficieat to hold . them ; while those upon whose serfdom they lived , wouldcrbwd the valley ; below . ( Cheers . ) ¦ It had been stated by some of-the . press that he ( Mr . O'Connor ) -was the self-elected leader , of Chartism ,, but he would exhibit to them a parch- ' ment document , which was his commission , signed in 1 ?» 5 , by Dr . ^ f ade . and eight others , who then . cpnstitituted the committee of the Radical Association of
  
  that day ; and by that commission he was . appointed their leader , and had established associations . upon the saine principles throughout the land . ( Cheers . ) As to be forewarned { was to be forearmedV they should understand that the show-box would shortly open , and that never was there witnessed such strife and antagonism between parties as would be exhibited in the coming session . ' Lord John Eussell , aware ! of the .. power of the Protectionists ,: would propose some new measure of reform to , tickle the peopleVimind ; be Would do so toraise a ; , f CRY : ' r ' for the next general election , in the hope of beating down'the Protectionists .
