He continuesj with unabated assiduity , to « aaScate every species , of infection . In recent cases , a perfect cure is completed within a week , or no ^ nBgem ade for medicines after the expiration of that period ; and in those of the utmost inveteracy , where « £ her practitioners have fefled , a proper perseverance in his plan of treatment insures to the patient a safe , Trefl grounded , and lasting re-estabhshment . Be hopes that the successful , easy , and expeditious mode he has adopted , of eradicating every Sjiiiptum of a Certain Disease , without any material alteration in diet , or hindrance of business , yet preserving the constitution in full vigour and free from injury , will establish bis claim ! for support . . As this Disease is one-which , is likely to he contracted whenever exposure taies place , it is not like -Sony other viators , once in life , but on the contrary , one infection may scarcely have been removed , when « otner may unfortunately be imbibed , ' therefore the Practitioner requires real judgment in order to treat « ach particular Case in such a manner & 3 not merely to lemove the ^ present attact , but to preserve the -constitution unimpaired , in case of a repetition at no distant period . The man of experience can * vsH himself of the greatest improvements in modem practice , by being able to distinguish between discharges of a ipecific and of a siinple ot mild nature , which can only be made by one in daily practice , « fier dae eonsiieration of all cixcumstaneee . In the same manner at birth , appearances ofteit take ylaee in chilaren , Trtnch call for a proper knowledge and acquaintance with the disease , in order to iscnminate their real nature , and which may be the means of sowing domestic discord , unless managed "bj the Surgeon with propriety and skill . -Patients labouring under this Disease , cannot be too cautiouB Into whose hand they commit themselves . The propriety of this remark is abundantly manifested . \ % &e same party frequently passing " the ordeal of several Practitioners , before he is fortunate enough to obtain a perfect eure . The following are some of the many symptoms that distinguish this Disease ;—a general debility , eruptions on the head , face , and body ; ulcerated sore throats , scrofula , « weffings in ^ ie neck , nodes on the shin bones j cancers fistula , pains in the head and limbs , "Which are ^ equentJy m istaken for Theumatism , Sjc . &c . Patients in the country , by stating their cases and enclosing a remittance , may have proper remedies -seatto the amount , with directions so simple and plain , that parties of either sex may cure themselves ¦ without even the knowledge of a bedfellow . . ^ j ^ Por the greater convenience of his Patients , Mr .

  i The Chairman , in opening the business , congratulated themeeting that , as wax the case at Ipswich , the authorities of the town had so much confidence in ihe working men that fliey did notdeem it necessary to have a jdngte pbliceman near to or at the plac ^ of meeting . T ^ bey wanted not to destroy the good institut ions of the country , but to see every abuse that had crept into those institutions eradicated and removed . ( Applause . ) They wished to si > e justice done to the poor man . as well as to the nch ; but unless they were united for their common object , they would become even worse than the slaves in the West India Colonies . ( Applause . ) He ^ begged of them to be tmited as pne man , for taeir tyrants had now got the winch in their hands ,
  
  screwing the nation down under taxation to the utmost . Unless the screw was relaxed and turned back , they would nip to pieces the whole of Ae bands of society , arid destroy the happiness of the nation -H-and then they would tell the people that it was the « Radical-rascals" who did it all I ( Hear , hear . ) But it was said their demands would be resisted , and the Birmingham deputation vrere told * that " Birmingham was not all England- ; " ' -let them show their enemies , by much meetings as this , that if Birmingham be not all England , yet all the oppressed in England ¦ were of tne same opinion , as the men . of Birmingham , and that they were determined not to be beat down as the proud man beat his dogs . when he was hunting down the hares .
  
  Mr . Thomas Adkin , brushmaker , in moving the resolution , said—Working Men , I stand before you to advocate the principle of Universal Suffrage ; and is there a man amid this vast assemblage of persons who will tell me that Universal Suffrage would be injurious ? Will any man tell me that I am not as capable of exercising a vote at this time as if I occupied a house of £ 10 a-year ? If any man were to tell me so , I should be ^ forced to tell him he was a fool . ( Cheers and laughter . ) If he were to tell me that I QUghtriotto have a vote , I would tell him that he was a tyrant . ( A pplause , ) I do not ask you for your applause , but if it be sincere , prove its sincerity to me tbin night , by coming forward to sign the national demand . I will not intrude longer on yonr time , as there are other persons much more capable
  
  of addressing you thanniyself ; therefore with your permission ! will propose the first resolution—" That this meeting are of opinion , that reguired as they universally are to support and obey the laws of this country , nature andreasbnentitle them to demand that in the making of the laws , the universal voice should be implicitly listened to , and that as they perform the duties of freemen , they must have the privileges of freemen ; they are , therefore , convinced that the Suffrage mnst be Universal . " ( Long continued shouts of approbation . ) Mr . William G . Blatch , boot and shoemaker—As a member of the Colchester Working Men ' s Association , I feel it to be an imperative duty to come forward to second the resolution justproposed ;
  
  because in it are contained those principles oJ philanthropy which the Saviour of the world strove to inculcate in both rich and poor —( cheers)—and , as an Englishman , I feel bound to stand up in theii advocacy , because they are in accordance with truth It 'was evidently the design of the Divine Being that every man should enjoy the same privileges as his neighbour ; for when a great lawyer of the Jewish nation asked his Divine Master what was the first and greatcommandment , the answer was " Love the Lord thy . God with all thy heart , and thy neighbour as tbyseff—on those two commandment ^ hang all the law and the prophets . " ( Applause . ) Is there any one here who can refrain from being struck withthis answer of our Lord to the Jewish
  
  lawyer ? and are the rich of this country arrived at that state of perfection which makes them more valuable than any other portion of the people ? Has it jiot been the case from the creation of the world down to the piesent day , that the Aristocracy have been the most depraved and demoralised set of men that ever breathed the breath of life ? ( Cheers . ) LpoX at the histories of different nations ; ara they not complete catalogues of murders ? Has there not been riiore blood spilled by the Aristocracy than by any other set of men on the face of the earth ? (" Yes , " and cheering . ) If we look at the history of the Jewish nation , we shall find that it was an Aristocratic , Government that brought them into confusion . Nearly 3 . 000 years of the world's history
  
  had passed away before the introduction of a Kingly Government atuong « t them . Till then the Jews enjoyed a state of tranquillity * Look at the office of the Patriarchs , "which we find entirely abrogated when Jewish Royalty was invented . Government by kings' was first adopted by heathoti nations , fr ° whom the Jews copied it ; and a certain writer has observed that it was the best system the devil ever set on foot for the promotion of his cause . ( Hear , Hud cheers , ) Mr . Donald Me Pherson , auctioneer of Ipswich , said ¦;—I am proud to observe , that the snn ol liberty has arisen oii this dark Blue town . Wherever her light sheds its rays , the darknefls of tyranny must fly before it . The press , too , the intelligent press ,
  
  has taken the people by , the hand , and has drawn aside the dark blue curtain that blinded their political Vision ; What is the people ' s House as it is termed ? Does it represent the people ? No ; and there has been only just a sufficiency of honest men in it to keep it from entire corruption . Almost every stream from that corrupt fountaiD is impure ; and if ever a good measure has gone from tne House of Commons for the people—if ever they intended to give the poor a blessiiigi the pestiferous breath of the locusts in the House of Lords has blasted it , ar id instead of returning to the people as a blesssing it has been acuree . ( Hear . / Mark , Mr . Chairman , if our Government , as no doubt they wilLbe pressed
  
  hard for the people ' s nghts-rl will turn prophet for once—our oppressors will go into the closet ^ and pick a quarrel with some foreign power , and will raise the cry of " VVar , " to divert the people ' s attention from demanding their rights . ( Hear , hear . ) No , my friends , we want no war ; ho war , for us , I say . ( Cheers . ) We are for peace ,. We ask for justice only . ' We are paying ' for war , now—for a cruel and abominable war , that has run us into a debt of £ 800 , 000 , 000 , and into poverty and wretchedness , ( Hear , hear . ) Truth is the only weapon we want ; justice is our claim : we stand on the Word of God for allwe ask ; and we defy the Aristocracy , and all who stand round them , to withhold our rights , Mr , Me Pherson concluded amidst the wannest applause . '
  
  After an address from Mr . Sampel Everett , of Braintree , the CKAiBMAri putthe motion to the meeting , and it wasicarried almost unanimously , about a dozen only of the Tories , present opposing it . The reunlt was hailed With enthusiastic cheering . ! Mr . Samuel AtisTiN , 'tailor , — -1 ' airi a member of the Colchester Working' Men ' s Association , and attend here , though biir opponents designate -n 3 by the titles of "the mob , " the " swinish multitude , '' the ^ unwashed rabble , ^ " -. the destructives * " the j" nbuseless Radicals ; " * . Now let us turn the tables on their shoulders . ' If we are an unwashed rabble —if we are hou « eless Radicals ^ they have madeuaso , ( Applause . ) That we are a swinish multitude is decidedly wrong , for they have got all they can put
  
  their hands upon , that is acting most like swine . ( Applause . ) We have nothing —{ Here much uproar enjsued by ai party of the blue faction , who had hitherto kept at the extremity of the meeting , making their way to , and taking their stand at , the left oi the nu 8 tings , where they endeavoured to silence the speakers , but their attempts were set at nought , and ; Mf . Austin proceeded . ] The resolution I beg to propose isi r That the meeting are of opinion that in order to secure the free and uncontrolled exercise ol the JElraribbise , the people must have tlie protection of the .

  Mry John . Gobliw , shoemakerr of Ipswich , whose able' speech' at the late demonstration at Ipswich , so much attracted the public : attention , then , came fdrward and said , I am highly deli g hted with the general principles of this petitioa j it comes before us in a form beyond any ptherpetition that was ever presented to tne House of rarliament . It shows that there is a unity of action in the whole people . We do not come ndwto specify any particular foing we want , such as the . Repeal of the Corn Laws , the Separation of Church and State , or any other particular wHch we consider a grievance . We come to demand our rights as citizens of a free nation . ( Rapturous cheering . ) We come to present to the Parliament a demand that we shall have a hand in
  
  the making of the laws by which we we gpyerned , and in doing this we state to the Parliament the cause of the evils from which the country has suffered so much . In doing this we do not petition Parliament to appoint a'day for a fast in order to make restitution to an offended Deity for the sina we have committed . We absolve Providence from causing the train of evils , with which tyrants have afflicted the country , and of which they have impiously accused heaven . We tell them thatit is notih Providence or in nature , and that it is not beyond the reach of men to 8 pply a remedy , for there is everything in Proridence and nature so that every may , woman , und child , can be supplied with ana receivrthe blessings of life where they are permitted to be
  
  distributed amongst them . ( Cheers . ) But we trace the cause and find it to originate in the njisgovernment of the country , in : a long train of mLsrule- —in centuries of misrule . For ages this country has suffered ; forages there has been a depression of the human mind and a stoppage of the thoughts of men . But until half a century ago , the rich of this country had a fellow ieeling for the poor ; though they depressed them , and though they depressed the human mind and shut it up from free dom of thought , yet they had such a fellow-feeling as not to allow the poor to suffer from want . Bu t after what has termed the Protestant Reformation , and the establishment of the funding ; system ^ , a ; new order of people arose , who competed with the landed
  
  aristocracy in the government ot the country . The monied aristocracy then became a powerful and mighty competifor with the landed arisstocracy , and as the wars of this country increased , and the national debt consequently increased , it was a natural result that the aristocracy of money should become more powerful than the aristocracy of land , so that in the course of time the ruling principle of the government became that of money . It is that which is now the ruling principle of the government , and ultimately it will not only swallow up the poor , bnt the landed aristocracy and the church itself—rit will be the means of nprbodng bothJchureh and aristocracy ^ Then will be the time for the people to step in , and push the principles we are
  
  advocating to night . When wearespeakiiig of the government , v ? e should not Qistingu > sh the persons composing it as Whigs and Tories , for they are onl y two different regiments of one army of oppressors . Their common object is to rob the people of the greatest amount of labour that they can , aud they only quarrel as to who shall haye the greatest share . The Government , or the Whigs as the executive , and the Tories as the whipper-in , passed the Poor Law by the common consent of the whole of them against the evidence of the nation , for there were more than two-thirds of the evidence brought forward , Which proved that the Poor Law was the consequence of heavy * taxation . It was passed-for the benefit of the . oppressors and the money-jobbers .
  
  This session , they have been talking of the' Commutation of Irish Tithes , which they have carried with the consent of O'Connell and Peel , and the rest of the faction in the House ; and during that time , they have passed the Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt Bill . They say the people will not get in debt now ; but I can tell you , that those that do may be stripped of everything they have , and be . left to lie on tlie bare boards . Indeed , the bare boards are not left them , for they can be got out of the house by another law , without going through any law process . Thus they may be stripped of everything , and then if they do not occupy a house of £ 20 a year , they may be forced ontof that too : ; and where then are their homes ? WhyVatthe
  
  bastiles . Thid is a law to protect property and oppress the poor , and it is because our eyes are open to see that they are legislating ior themselves in contradiction to the people , that we come forward to demand our just and legitimate rights . ( Long coiitimied plaudits . ) Had the Parliament of England only shewn a disposition to give us but half jasnee , we should never have murmured in this way ;¦ could we have had but half a loafj-w-e should have been better satisfied ; but if a man buy three stones of flour for his family , he must pay 9 s . for it under the accursed Corn Laws , when , perhaps , the whole of his wages for the week would not amount to that 6 Um . I bring forward these things to show that the people of England are a peaceable people ; there never was , in any country m the-world , a people so
  
  peaceably disposed as- Englishmen . Go into the agricultural districts , and see whole families dining off that accursed root , the potatoe , and ask yourselves if these are people wito wish to destroy all order , and make the country a carnage house . No . ; I know , and am persuaded , that tlie people of this country are the most peaceable and we" - ^ P osed of any people that ever existed on th « face of the earth towards any Government that treats them well ( Cheers . ) But it is necessary that their oppressors should say something against them . During the time that we have been suffering by the misrule of the Government , our eyes have been opened "; we can search into the causes pf nature ; we can look at the nelds , ahdliowers , and shady grovesj and enjoy the pleasing scenes that surround us , better than the rich themselves . We can also lbok into the causes
  
  that have produced all the ma of our country , and we have discovered that it is the governipg power that has . produced them . ( Applause . ) Let a mail walk round the suburbs of any great town , and look at the palaces that are being continually reared , and a ^ sk how it is that they liave been reared , the inhabitants of those palaces being men who do nothing to get their livingv ( Loud cheering . ) Hoy ? can they have risen ? There must be some secret power . Years ago the squire lived in his house on his farm , which was let out in small portions to numerous individuals ; but now there is hardly a town in which those palaces itre noioccupied by some of the squires , who never work . The lact is , that a system of funding has taken place , and
  
  they live , without labour , on tne rents derivenirom their land , and the produce of the people . This is the consequence of that corrupt system of funding , which we would have put au end to if we had had the franchise given to us ; but it will go on increasing except we get that franchise . For they have all the power in -then * , handgj the army , the navy , arid all the riches of the nationv and are , to a man , combined to carry out their nefarious system of plunder , until they cresh the people down to death ' s "door . But we will assert pur rights ^ we . will join from north to south—we will have what we demand , or vs e will not work . They shall either produce their own living ^ or give us our nights ' ; ' without those rights v » e shall not labour , and thus we ; shall crush
  
  their power . Our fnend , Mr . M'Pherson , said he would be a prophet for once , and I will quote from a book which the parson quotes from when he teaches the people to behave well . He says that the predictions-of thut ,. l > oofe are tx ^ e , so that-I : will just point out ' a passage like this !''

  Mr . John VERtANn jER seconded tiie resblution—With respect to the property qualificatiori , he should not object to a man because he possessed property , for there were many , verymany * friends of tUepeopk who were men of property . 'Arid therls venfsome twenty or thirty of them in the House of Comrnbrii . ( Cheers . ) There was Mr . Attwopd : he was not afraid to stake his large property to the"National Petition . ( Applause . ) There was also Mr . Fielden ^ aaothergreat manufacturer ; and he was not afraid of the National Petition and the People ' s Charter ( Continued Applause . ) He then , amid much approbation , referred to the late Mr . Cobbett , theunfliaching friend of . the poor man , and whose writings he begged of this meeting to perufee . ; Let !
  
  them read his history of the Reformation , hisi . egacy to Parsons , and his Legacy to Labourers , and they would be led ir ithe perusal of those wprks alrnost to think they were hbldmg conversation with the man Ijitnielt . ( Cheers . ) He wished there were » hundred such men as C > ibbett in the House of Commons at this moment , for no faction would be able tbr stand against them . ( Plaudits . ) In closing , Mr , Verlander gaid , that an excellent man , now no more " observed that , r"for a nation to be free , itis sufficient that she wills it . " And how was that will- to be known ? The people must make it known bf signing the National Petition . ? Mr . David Stollery , plumber and glazier from Ipswich , next spoke in support of the resblufion
  
  ) efore the meeting . In the course of his obserratioiui he remarked- ^ Let it never be said that after this meeting Colchester will work for any : of the ¦ aristocratic gang again ; letit never be said that the wort nig men of Colchester will again record a vote in favour of aristocratic principles . ; Arise then ,-1 say , and assert your rights ; join the brave patriots of the Nortb . ; let your voice echo-and re-echo from the North to the South , and from the East to the West , and may it shake the Hquse of Commons to it » centre , and the abominable , accursed and contanunated . House of Lords to itsrery foundation * ( Cheers , ) We have borne the heat arid burden of the day leng enough ; we have petitioned- arid petitioned , agaia and again , our prayers nave been unattended to ;
  
  aud we now come boldly forward , riot only with * Petition , but a demand . ( Prolonged plaudits . ) Perhaps this will induce therri to give us i what ther term an " equivalent . " I say , take all yoti can , bnt never give up an iota , and never relax in your exeN tious until you have accomplished your full and perfect work . Agitate , agitate , agitatey until yon get your rights ; arid never be satisfied until yon obtain them . ( Applause . ) It is the intention of the IpswichWorking Men ' s Association to re-echo the sound through the county : of Suffolk , until ever ? village and town in the- cpnnfy ring with working men ' s associatiima . They will send ri ^ sionane * into the country to preach the true and faithful d ( xy trines of Radical Reform , and there is no doubt that success will « attend their efforts .
  
  Ihe Chairman put the resolution to the meeting and it was carried unanimously ; Mr . George P . Dennis , shoemaker , then com . menced reading the National Petitiori , but the knot of obstructives , who had , by this time , recruited their force ; by the acquisition of a number of boys , and ladies of doubtful character , endeavoured to create a noise in order to drown thespeaker ' s voice , and not succeeding in this , they all marched in abody ^ shouting aloud , to the market gates . . V _ Mr . Dennis resumed ^ and in preposing the Na ^ tional Petition for adoption * said , the suffrage is tie natural right . of every citizen of a free ptatei . ¦ I aia an elector of the borough of Colohester . tabugh I do not possess a haff-dozen chairs or a . tabled or renti house . In the language of Wesley" No home , no land dp I possess , Or cottage in this wilderness i
  
  A poor way-faring man . " And yet I am an elector of the borough ! ( Cheers . ) And why ? Merely because I am the son of a person who is called a free burgess . But what a wretched system that must be which gives me a vote , wMb tens of thousands of iny fellow cbuntnrriien are not in possession of the franchise . TKe Tories say that the Ballot is un-English , ; and unmaril y , and unjust But I ask , is anything unjust that will lead to tb prevention of crime ? l Is anythidg un-Enghsh that wilt put down bribery arid intimidation ? You all answer "No . " ( Loudcheers . ) Here another disturbance was occasioned by tro fellows making aneffbrtto get up a sham fight , and by the returnto the body , of the meeting of the party who had just ' left . : ' : Me Pherson called upon the meeting to stand firm , arid not to proceed to any act of violence towards the contemptible creatures , the scarecroff ^ who were inciting them to a breach of the peace ;
  
  Mr . Gosus said none but hired ruffians would behave in this way . N p . man , with a spark of honor in his bosom , Would go in the dark to create this disturbance j the villains are hired by the petty aristocracy of Colchester—by the base Tories arid ths insidious Whigs . ' ( A voice , "It is Cany the grocer , the brother of the Parson ! " Roars of laughter . ) _ Mr . \ Mc Pherson—Ye Tories of Colcflesterj to night will sink your character in the eyes of Britain f the press will shew Britain what Colchester is . !«' me beg . of you , then , to be quiet ; and , my felloircountryrr ieri , let it be seen thatjrpu are consistent when you -advocate what is right and just .

  Mr .

In 1835 , Sir Joto Tyrrel was elected on his -promise to support tie repeal of the Malt-T 4 x ; but ^ when the Marqnisot Char idps brought forward his motion for that pnrp ' pse , her voted against it .
