      VADDKES 5 TO B . X ! . JOKES , ESQ . "Respected axd Hoxoubed Sir , —It is with feelings of unbounded pleasure that we welcome you to this town , after the long impr isonment you hare suffered , for no other crime than that of having advocated the rights and interests of the suffering and toiling millions of this unhappy land . You , honoured sir , having seen the serf-like condition of the wealth producers , had the manliness and courage to declare their wrongs , and for this , the tyrants cast you into the felon ' s dungeon ; but even then they could not chain your thought , nor stay the mighty torrent of democracy .

      Sir , we rejoice to think that even then you could hold communion with the spirits of the mighty dead—such as a Hetherington , a Hunt , a Marvel , and all who have suffered and died , struggling for the liberties of their fellow countrymen . Sir , we sympathise with you in all your trials . Go on , noble sir , in the cause in which you have embarked , and may the day speedily arrive when your labours shall be consumatcd " by the enactment of that document called the People ' s Charier ; for which you have so nobly laboured and suffered . Long may you live to enjoy the smiles of an affectionate wife and loving children ; and that vourname may live in the hearts and affections

      of a grateful people , while those of your and our enemies will sink into ever lasting infamy , is the earnest prayer of yours , "Signed on behalf of the South Shields National Gharter Association , " " VTilijam Robinson . " 3 Ir . Jones briefly returned thanks for the kindness shown towards Mm ; a vote ; of thanks was then moved by Mr . Robinson , seconded by Mr A . Morton , to the brave men of Messrs . Barclay and Perkins , for the punishment inflicted en the butcher Haynau . After a vote of thanks to the chairman , the meeting broke np .

      BiRsTAL . —On Wednesday , the 18 th inst ., Ernest Jones , Esq ., delivered an interesting lecture to a numerous meeting , held in the Hall of Freedom , which was well filled on the occasion . The lecturer dwelt at considerable length on the decline of the working class in the scale of comfort , and showed clearly to every thinking mind that they were fast sinking , and becoming inore and more , mere tools for the use of the other classes of society , who were living on their toil ; and that the only remedy for this state of things was . the obtainment of political power . At the close of the lecture the following resolution was passed , amid the cheers of the meeting : — " That this meeting , viewing with abhorrence the efforts

      of despotism to repress the rising : democracy of Europe , and believing that all men - are brethren , and that the cause of liberty is the same all over the world , hail with delight the conduct ofthe men in the employ of Messrs . Barclay and Perkins , in lashing Marshal Haynau—the dastardly woman flogger of Austria—through the streets . of London , and thus reading a lesson to tyrants at home , and their kindred , abroad . " After the meeting , between forty and fift y friends sat - down' to a good substantial supper , and when ample justice had been done to the good things , several Eeformers' songs were sung . G-. Ramsay presided during the evening ; , and . the . whole passed off to the entire satisfaction of the friends assembled . - .

The discussion was prolonged until

      a late honr , and though nof Vote was taken upon : the subject , yet it is ' but just to . say , that the whole of the audience , with the ! exception ofthe speakers upon the Bide of the I *« gae , agreed with the general policy ofthe Old . Asspdation , and were of opinion , that the conepctors of the Charter League had not shown sufficient grormal of complaint , to Warrant them in attempting to start a new , and consequently , in manj ; respects i hostile body The speakers on the . side of the League-were heard , in repl y to each consecutive speaker on the opposite side , . and must have felt gratified at the attention and forbearance disp layed by ifceir opponents . . ., . ..

"

      Xewcastlb-ox-Tyxe . —The Chartists ot this town enjoyed a rare treat in hearing , on Sunday night , a most excellent address from Mr . E . Jones , wlio had been invited to vjsxd these northern towns . The meeting was called for six o ' clock , but several friends met at four o'clock at Mr . Johnson ' s , Temperance-hotel , and took tea with the talented lecturer .- On the removal of the cloth Mr . J . Watson was called to , -the chair , when , several short addresses were ; given , illustrative of the ; position of the Chartist cause in Newcastle , South Shields / and Sunderiand , by friends present from those p laces , and an understanding arrived at of ¦ the utility of again attempting the organisation of the district as

      soon as possible . At the public meeting , which was held in the Lecture-room , Nelson-street , Mr . Jones had the pleasure to witness' a full' house , and a spirited reception , the cheering continuing for some time after his arrival on the platform . M . Jude ¦ was called upon to preside , who , " having read the bill convening the meeting , introduced Mr . Jones ainid the repeated cheersand plaudits of those assembled . Mr . Jones entered on the business of the evening by a close and well-digested view of the relative well-being of the working classes at the present time with times gone by , argumentatively and statistically ; proving that there was no evidenee of progress or improvement in the condition of the

      working classes . He then passed in review the different schemes propounded by the . people ' s rulers , to better their condition ; showing that neither Free Trade , Protection , nor Emigration were calculated to achieve any real and lasting advantage for the people of this country , ridiculing the idea of improving our condition . by sending the industrious bees away , and fceeping the idle , drones at home . . Mr . . Jones nesfc dwelt ' upon the necessity of cultivating the waste land of the country , as being preferable to depending for support either on

      our colonies or elsewhere ; demonstrating , by reference to'history , arid " various other sources ^ that tffo acres of land-would keep-a = family ; whilst the number of acres available in this country , was eleven acres per family ., The gentleman then reverted to the means necessary to bring about so desirable a change , and ably ,. showed-that nothing short of political power could achieve such results . The People ' s-Charter was the . remedy—; tbe means to ' an end , and all our efforts ought to be concentrated , in order to make that Charter the law of the ! land . to

      The thing was . ^ practicable ; they . had . unite in , one . general association , " and , keep . before the country their collective powen •• -Their-great iinfluence , , generally . and universally expressed ,. would have . its due weight in bringing about- that change in public opinion ; which ; . necessarily ensures the desired results . The address , i which . was . one continued chain , of reason riv . etted the attention of -the audience ( interrupted only at intervals by outbursts of approbation , ) and . seemed to jnake- more ; than common impression upon them ,. was at-its iciose cheered to the echo ,, amid which ' . Mr . Jones resumed his seat . Mr . Jones having alluded to the brave fellows who ' " scotched , but not kilted ; 'Ilaynau , a

      REVIVAL OP CnARTISM .-rMR . ERNEST JONES IN LEEDS .

      ( From the Leeds Times of September 21 st . ) ; On Thursday evening , Mr . Ernest Jones , who has come on atour into the West Riding after ; his release frooi prison , attended a meeting in the front room of the Bazaar , Briggate ,, and was met by a largo body of working , men , holding the opinions enunciated in the People ' s Charter . ; Mr . Wm . Brook was called to the chair , and opened the proceedings-by giving : out a Chartist hymn , commencing thus : —• • " Great God , is this the patriot ' s doom , Shall they , who dare defend the slave ; Be hurled withm the prison ' s gloom , | , To fit them for an early grave ? " ,. The Chairman then . addressed the meeting , calling upon the , working ' men of Leeds to do their duty in supporting a man who had suffered incarceration for the cause thev all had at' heart .

      ( Three cheers of welcome were-given for Ernest Jones . ) ¦ . . . :: li ,.. - . ¦ ¦ ' Air . EnNGST Jones then came- forward amidst a storm of applause , and addressed the meeting at considerable length . He said . that he proposed to dilate upon the political and social causes of the misery , disease , and crime in this country , and what he conceived to be the means of their removal . He contended that for the past fifty years the condition of this country had been , a lamentable declension , and though there had been occasionally small gleams of prosperity , yet the people had invariably fallen down . two steps : of the ladder for every step they were enabled to make upwards . The working men of England were implored , by their rulers not to organise or agitate , as free trade would ensure

      them continuous prosperity . But free trade was only a negative good : it only opened the gate for things to ' enter—a very different matter to bringing things across tlie gates when they we opened . The present prosperity of English manufacturers arose from the stoppage of continental production ; but as soon as the despots had gained the upper hand or liberty , triumphed , foreign competition would again press wages down and down to starvation point . ( Applause . ) Now , then , _ when . they were in a state of comparative ' prosperity , Vas .. the time for them to organise , and make preparations to avert ,: or at least meet , the coming " rainy day . " Competition and cheapness were the great causes of the destitution and misery . to the working classes .

      Shopkeepers , by the operation of competition , were in a continual race as to who should sell the cheap ; est ; arid how was this to be done ? Neither of these shopkeepers' would consent to less profit ; but they cut down the wages of the working men ; and the working classes , by this same principle of competition were daily exerting themselves to produce more for less wages ; : and , by'these means , co-npetition acted and re-acted against the operative , who had gone lower and lower until he had arrived at . an inconceivably miserable state . But . this competition did not act upon the upper classes ; . the lawyers had not reduced their fees ; the parsons would not cure their souls for ' less ; . ' the king would not govern them for less than he . would' fifty years ago . ( Apr

      plause : ) Mr . Jones then adduced a number of statistics to prove the ; alleged declension of England , and the deteriorated condition : of . the working classes . ; He next turned ' to the decreasing duration of human life , among the working and trading classes in England , and the increase of crime and pauperism ;; and contrasted .. the \ miseries- of . the working classes with the re ' o ! ciese 'expenditure upon royalty and the scions of aristocracy . The remedies for all the people ' s miseries ,-as propounded by the statesmen and the governors ofthe day , were—freetrader protection , and emigration . Free trade , thoughtrUe in principle , w . ould hot give permanent prosperity , because it was founded upon the assumption , ' . that England would manufacture for all the world " :

      whereas all the civilised nations of the world were now manufacturing for themselves ; It was . quite ont ofthe question to think that new marketscould be found to . keep England employed . Protection was a good thing—rnot the protection oflandeil proprietors and corn monopolists—but that . protection which ., consisted in the . working classes , protecting themselves . ( Applause . )" . Emigration was advocated upon'the'assumption that fewer mouths would want feeding ; but it was forgotten that'the mouths carried with them the hands , aye , and the strongest hands of the country .- ; Ir they were to have ! emigration , let them-begiri' at the top / not af . the bottom of the scale . List the parsons and lawyers / and those above them emigrate ; . but let us keep our men

      of muscle and sinew . _ What we wanted . to see witg emigration from the smoky , tqwn tp . the agricujtural disiric . t . 'Land was ' .

He was prepared to recommend . the division of the land into small allotments among the people ; and attributed the evils at present afflicting the' country ; 'in no' small

      degre ' eto the- 'large holdings of land winch" had , pi late years . become , so general ; i whereby the soil Had not . been ; Hin . , tO : yieLd--anything like the- crops which , it was capable , of . prnducingi and these ! men of muscje and sinew who should be employed in the healthfuroccupatidn ofthe farm and the homestead were driven to . the .. ljfe . ; dest ' royirig , smoky , filthy towns .

      only be restored through such a reform of the Legislature as should be based on the principles of the People's Charter . " ( Loud-cheers . ) That resolutlbp proclaimed great truths ; . there certainly was a time when neither ; kings , lords , priests , oi-iprofitnlongers existed . In that day of man ' s primeval equality , the Land , and all belonging thereto , must , of necessity , have been the property of the whole people ; the scriptures verified . this conclusion , for . ' . the first chapter of Genesis , verses 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ,: thby would find the earth arid its fruits set forth as God ' s gift to man . ( Hear . ) - This was further confirmed in the 24 thpsalm ;; but a race of priests , ' -kirigs , | aristocrats , and profitmongers had despoiled them of their inhericance ., Now the three . classes appeared united against the wealth producers , the result of , which

      to thern was bufcj ; oo , well known ; and the last class appeared the worst of all , as witness the iiloses , the llyams , &c , with their eternal cry of cheap , grindr iher labour to the very dust . ( Cheers . ' ) He ( Mr . Stallwood ) thought the only remedy was the People ' s Charter . ( Che . ers . ) The speaker 'Here entered into an exposition . 'of the principles of the People ' s Charter , and , said , ; it ,. could ; not be supposed that lords , priests , or profitniongers could , or would ever represent the ^ nterest of the wealth . producers ; andhenee the necessity of having men of their own ovdei-inthe Ilouse . of Commons . . Thai ' they . were not represented in the Legishiture was proved by the treatment of the bakers' appeal , by the bringing in and passing a bill for- the factory workers one Sossion and repealing it the next ; by . the treatment

      Mr . Slaney received when submitting . questions for improving the condition , of the labouring classes- . It was their dufcyto rally round the National Gharter Association , to discuss sodinl rights : ; and having gained , the Charter , they might then look forward to Industrial ,. Home . polonies , to an ^ exchange for labour , ; to a , proper paper . curroncy , representing the . real wealth-iDf .

" Ho had great pleasure in moving , the resolution . ( Cheers . ) Mr . D . W .- Euffy , in seconding the motion , said , he knew there were those who , denied , that the people possessed any ; -. rights , especially a , right to the fruits of the earth- ; : but , the , resolution ' very

      properly said , that "philosophy , the . Scriptures , and common . sense , " louclly proclaimed those rights . ( Qear , hear . ) For himself , he did not bijlievje" the people evei * would be free while -the land remained private property . ( A Voice : Alter the law , ; then . ) That was a most . sensible : observation ; . aiid this meeting had been convened to ask assistance in that respecc . ( Cheers . ) Ho knew , how titles , to land had . been , obtained , yet he , was not one . who would re-seize it'by . force , but . w ' ouid " take legitimate means to that end ,, as h ' e know otfthe : question- of the land hung the salvtation of theTpeoplo . It was the source ' from which all wealth , sprung , ( Loud cheers ) - Mr . Buffy here stated the ' number of landholders in 1770 ; and the ' great reduction that had taken . plaoe in their ranks .. since that . 'period ,

      the misery that had , overtaken the . people in consequen t ,, of . their . having . beendrawn ; from figricul-: tufal pursuits , and . placing women and ( children in factories '" The Sheffield ' union'Had employed ! some paupers oh the laud .

"that the country might most pleasantly bo relieved from the burden ; of- poor rates . ' Jhe People ' s Charter , ' . by ' the resolution , " was-made-the basis of ; the proposed reform , and properly so ,- tool s ^ but it , was essentially necessary that . the . people . should discuss social rights , in order . that Chartism , iwhen obtained , should not be abused : and perverted as Universal Suffrage had been in prance .
