Was it to be" eadnnd that in this beautiful land , blessed by tke Great € rr » w of all trith almost xmbounded fertility , they should be ia thei * present miserable position ? Talk of W « Bt Indian of Bart Indian , or of African slavery ! Lei them look to the Nerth of England , and they would find they we in a far worse positionthat &e Afrie&n sla » e -was fcr happier than the intelligent mecbanit . If this "wat to conttone they bad better return to a state of nature ; but let them only concentrate the IntelEgence and the energy floating among them—let them persevere in this good cause , and they voold go on conquering and to conquer They ironld indeed make the land , in the words af . the
** Great , glorious , and free . " He acknowledged that they -were ignorant , or they ¦ would never have so long consented to allow another class to reap all the benefit of their industry . Bnt tfeey ¦ would endearour to wipe off this stain frem their character . They wished not to uproot or to injure any class of society—they wished not the poor to make laws to oppress the rich , but to hinder the rich from oppressing ths poor ; and if they possessed the minds of Englishmen , if they possessed a spark of the spirit which glowed in their ancestors , they would yet raise themselves Into the prond position ia which they ? ogbfc to be placed ( great cheering . )
Mr . Peat stated that it was quite unexpected that tie was called upon to speak to the toast , but it had been so ably entered into by the last speaker as to leave tut little for him to say . The simple language of the toast spoke volumes . It embodied a great and important fact—that the labourer was not justly rewarded Those who erected the splendid mansions , those who decked in their splendour the royal'palaces , who created the magniflrienee which adorned the royal table , who manufactured the beauteous volumes which graced tae libraries , which pervaded tha habitation of the aristocracy , were themselves involved in misery and degradation . Even in his own trade many of those whom he now saw around him -with KTmijng faces , had a few weeka previous known the ill effects of
povertyhad been ground down to misery and want , from a want of employment . What was the cause of this anomaly , but that they had allowed a class of society to make the laws by which they applied the fruits of their labour to their own venal purposes , and thereby kept them in ignorance and degradetjos , and endea voured to brutalize their minds , and then taunted them with the ignorance they had themselves created . If they wanted labour to be rewarded they must have & voica in the legislature . Those who had the power of voting were &ose who had accumulated property , while poverty was confined to those who were destitute of this power . The toast also mentioned Ireland . Her sons had also suffered misery and poverty to even a greater degree than the people of England , and it
was the duty of both to unite w remove the oppression under which they groined . Did they ever hear of the aristocracy quarrelling among themselves ? Why then were the working men thus disunited ? He did not believe that the trades' unions had been completely successful in the object they had in view , but they bad done much good , and he despised that man , who , while he was calling out for political privileges , was working under price and ruining his brother trades men . ( Great cheering . ) He despised the man who , while livisg on the hard earnings of working men , would denounce them for eadeavoariBg to protect their labour . He believed that Trades' Unions were the fathers of the present political movement , and he hoped they would form one mighty Trades' Union for
the attainment of their long withheld rights . What light had a class of men to live upon their only property—their labour ? They tslked about the right of capital I Labour was the capital of the working man , and yei all the other classes lived in idleness and profligacy upen the labour of the ssns of toil , and perverted the wealth thns obtained to the shameful purposes of bribery and corruption which Mr . Roebuck bad so well shewn up in the House of Commons . One great advantage of the Tories being in power -was the creation of a strong Radical party in that House ; and , if they were backed up by the people , they would increase to a muth greater degree than at any previous period . It had been thrown ia their teeth that they were for despoiling of property ' . "Was it likely they
should destroy that which they had labonred to create ? Bui no state was safe—there could be no security for property , unless the Institutions of the country produced happiness for the people—unless wealth was so distributed as to create plenty amongst those who had created it , provided they did not themselves put a barrier to it by crime or laziness ; but it generally happened that the most intelligent and industrious were the worst remunerated , because they were chit fly connected ^ with mechanical pursuits . They had been taunted with ignerance . As far as the trickery of legislation went , they must plead guDry to that charge ,-they had been educated mechanically , and not sufficiently political ; they knew more about a jack plane than about the trickery of politics , or they would have
betn bfctter oSl He was far from blaming them for this . He thought the manner in which the working men were now endeavouring politically to educate themselves ^ as an honour to th « n .-, they had brokfiu dovm the barriers which excluded them from politics . After a hard day ' s toil , they "Were to be seen wending their way to political meetings ; they were rearing np a ycuEg democracy that would in time render England tbi envy and admiration of surrounding nations . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . } He was happy to aee the manner in which the females had taken up this tjucstion . It had been said that there had not existed a great or good man who had not a wise mother : and
it was cheering to think that they should soon have a generation of young Chartist Radicals—ibearu It had been said that women had nothing to do with poBiics ; but they had to do with whatever affected their inttrtsis , —and politics greatly affected them . Let the fecaJes unite their moral force with that of the males , and they would speedily attain their object without physical force . He was opposed to anything like physical force untal every moral -mpftns fcad been fairly tried . He believed that even if the Charter was gained , so k-cg as the competitive state of society existed , trades unions would be necessary , and he thought it was the dnty of every man to belong to them .
The toast was then drank npst&nding , with three times three . ilr . Rowe responded to the toast by a Bong suitable to the occasion . The Chaibmat ? in introducing the next toast made £ oilc excellent observations regarding the protracted struggle of the masons , and clearly showed that if they had been in possession of political power , the struggle would neTer have been protracted in the manner in which it had been ; neither would the masters have bctn supported by the Government and the aristocracy as at present
Dr . il'DotAXL had great pleasure in proposing the lollcrtriDg toast ;— " The Charter ; may it speedily become the law of the land , and msy all classes of society haTe spirit and resolution to protect and defend their iiidepeLdence against the powerful attacks of unbridled ambition . " Appearing among ibem as an invited gutst , he trusted he should be acquitted of any intention of obtrudiDg his opinions upon their attention , or of cccnpLag that time with politics ¦ whteh was usually dfcTotcd to more general su " r jects . It was with great pleasure that he always addressed any trades' body ; bit is felt more particularly honoured upon the present occiaon . -when the object for -whick they bad met—ILat of assisting the aged and tks infirm—an object so great , sy srortfcy , and so good , engaged their attention , he could not suppose that one man present on this
occasion -would ot > ct to the introduction of a sutjtct Ci ^ ciiiaUKi to give happiness , prosperity , and liberty to tie -R-iole population of the country -. he did not belifc-sv one z-Eiosg thein "wcnld orjcci to the toast of the ChsTttr , -which alone -was calculated fully to protect labour . If labour was properly protect * d , -wonld the sun vL : ch -vras cow fLicing bo brightly on them shine upon £ o daay broken hearts—bo many huts of misery asd distress ? Why was it not always with them lite the present hour , positive happiness and joy ? If there was one present who thought that his lsbcnr was fully protected , he wonld point him te the splendid palace he , perhaps , bad assisted to wed ; to the grandeur and beauty of its fretted pillars ; to the ttarnipcence and splendour which reigned within ; and tha loot ta the destitute homss cf those who had
created this splendour . Look at another part of the bsGj- -shorn he bad the honour of addressing—the shipcarj , snters , those who reared the splendid ship which waiied the water lite a thing of life ; look at it in its * c-xasVate as the trunk of a tree , every plani having to-te ' adapted by the hand of labour , every bit of cordage , fc-rexy spar , its mighty anchor , all had to be "fc ' fc -tut by the hand of these despised being ? , tk * WoxkiEg men ; look at the whole of the vaft and won-( jfrrful productions of man ' s labour , and amidst all these spltndid achievements of industry , have you not to go doVo to the tomb of your forefathers asd rtc-cta jouiself a slave there , in bitterness cf heart , to fall 02 your knets , and ackno-wledce thst . tbe history of the labouring classes is one vastrecord of misery and
CfcgraJation ? It is against this Eastern , caused by class legislation , that we , as Chartists , are "waging ¦ Ri rfare ; agaujit this oppression we will direct our energies until -we destroy it He certainly belonged io the middle class of society himself , hut the miseryand diatrtss he had witnessed had compelled him to advocate the rights of the working men . He had in his own time witnessed the direful fate of the band-loom weavers ; he had seen them a happy and intelligen t race of men ; he had seen the sun shinirg with beauty apoa their cottages by the hill-side ; he had seen their cheeks flushed wilh happiness and joy ; bat , swing to the present vicious system , he had also seen them in misery and -wretchedness : the cottage on
She hill-side had gone to ruin in many places ; the plough had gone over the spot , and as a class they were now reduced to the lowest verge cf human misery . If this bad betn the fate &f a large and once prosperons Class of sen , had not every other trade reason to erpt-cfc a repetition cf the same scene , and were tht-y not in duty bound to exert themselves in making a provision against it ?

gle enactment to protect the creators of this wealth —( hear , hear ) . He looked upon labour as being of the highest importance , and he wished to see that labour protected by law . Those who accused them of wishing to destroy property , did not believe the charge in their hearts . He could easily account for the sensitive feeling they displayed ; they knew that by having political power , they had been enabled to rob the working classes , and they supposed the Chartists , when they obtained the same power , vrould use it m a similar manner , and rob them ; he could easily enter into their feelings ; they were somewhat similar to those of a thief who had stolen a coat and got it on his back when he met the owner of it . They demanded political power to protect their
labour , and to relieve it of its present burdens ; the aristocracy had weilded their power for the benefit of a class ; they had plundered and robbed the working class to raise themselves to affluence and eminence on" their rnin . No body of mea were watched by Government and by the rich with a more jealous eye than the trades' societies ; they were fearful of their taking a part in the present political struggle ; the effect of their petition of three millions and a half of signatures , had been to arouse the whole of France , and the whole of the Continent of Europe to the importance of the principle they advocated , and he could not suppose for one moment that the trades of this nation would not respond to the call , that they would not perform their duty at
this i mportant crisis . He believed that ere long they would come forward to a man to obtain political power . Did they not feel the necessity of this power to put down the combination and the corresponding laws . Why were they compelled to have trades ' unions at ail but from the fact that the laws did not protect them 1 and they were compelled to resort to this measure to protect themselves—to obtain that which the laws denied to them . The Chartists were seeking to give to them that power which would enable them to obviate the necessity of establishing societies for the protection of the aged and the infirm , ont of their scanty means . The Charter would enable them to destroy those evils which embittered the happiness of the cottage , and
it would give to all a due protection for their labour . As the ladies present were desirous of entering into an agitation pecBliar to themselves , that of dancing , he -would not occupy much more of their time , bat would impress upon them the necessity of procuring those rights which alone could place them in an independent position . No class in society performed similar duties , and yet no party were in possession of fewer rights . The aristocracy performed no duty to society save that of consuming what others prodnced . The middle class produced nothing ; they only exchanged over the counter what the working men prodnced . The lawyer performed few duties that might not be readily dispensed with . The doctor might have much of his employment
dispensed with if society was properly organised ; they would thus see that if strict justice was done , the working men producing all , performing all the important duties of life , were entitled to greater rights than any other class ; but they did not desire this ; 'they desired equality of rights to alL He should leave the subject to their judgment , expressing hia earnest wish to see them armed with political power , to see the Charter gained , not by force or bloodshed , but gained without intimidation to the rich or injury to the poor ; without foreign invasion or domestic strife ; without the palace rafters being in flames , or the hearth of the poor man ' s cottage destroyed . Let them unite in the struggle , and endeavour to gain by moral and intellectual force , by bringing to bear tko full weight of the tide of public opinion . Day after day , year after year they were advancing with rapid strides . The
House had rejected their petition ; the House was eo loDger worthy of their respect : they had denied to them what was granted to the greatest criminal —the right of a hearing . The next step wonld be to appeal to the throne ; to tell her Majesty firmly that the affections of the British people could only be ensured by full justice being done to them ; and that their affection was of more value than the gewgaw spectacles of the palace ; and that unless justice was rendered them they were not bound to preserve their loyalty . The course they intended to adopt was first , to present a remonstrance to the House ; jsecond , to appeal to the Queen ; and lastly , to themselves . He again called upon them to unite in the glorious struggle for equal rights to all ; their character as a nation would then be exalted , and firmness given to the institutions of the country —( great cheering . )
Mr . HiTXES of the British Statesman , said there was one sentiment expressed by Dr . JTDouall , which he thought peculiarly applicable ; it was why were they here to protect themselves , but because the law did not protect them I they had been enjoying a good dinner , and they might ask why politics were allowed to interfere with it 1 Did they hare one dinner out of the other 364 , in which politics did not . interfere with its cursed bread laws , beef laws , and other bad laws , and if they allowed the Government to interfere with their dinners on 364 days , it was but moderate vengeance to have one day for their own politics to interfere . No one could properly understand the toast unless they entered into the vibrations of misery which were
breaking ' the hearts of the working classes ; but they might be told that the Carter was a new thing ; so was Peel's income tax a new thing '; so was the tariff and the sliding scale ; the Bishop of Jerusalem , whose salary we should have to pay , was a new thiEg ; but we could not know the merits of the Charter until we had tried it . The old institution had been tried and found wanting . The Charter wa 3 only a returning to the old principles of the Constitution . If you ask me what or where is the Constitution , I frankly tell you I dont know , neither conld the . doctor with his physiological knowledge tell me what or where the soul is ? but , still he would tell you that it existed ; so the political constitution , though I know not where ft is—it means happiness
to all who live under its protection . Some apology has been made for trades' unions—is there not the Army Club House , and the Navy Club House , and the Carlton , combining the vices of the two . And why should yon not have your Carpenter ' s Club , involving the honesty of neither , and excluding the vices of both * That great distress was in the country was admitted at length by Dr . Morrison Peel , though he could not prescribe until he had received his fee . Peel and the Archbishop ' of Canterbury have now informed the Queen that distress exists in the country . He supposed Albert could not talk English fluently enough to tell her , so they were now going to issue begging letters in the Queen ' s nanJe to ' the clergy , to raise subscriptions . He
trusted that the officers of the mendicity society would keep a sharp look-out for these begging letter impostors . He did not blame Peel exclusively . Melbourne was equally as bad—" sure such a pair was never 5 ten , how happy could -we be with neither . " He trusted that the people would step in their majestic power , and by ridding themselves-of both , place the God of happiness amongst the household gods of the people . When tha news arrived of the fire in Ha : r . burj ; h , in Shy-six hours upwards of £ 12 , 000 was subscribed far their relief ; aud ihe subscription-she : et was Leaded in the following mnirjer : — " We ,. merchants and others , having an interest iu the trace of Hamburgh , " &c . During the last winter how many of the working classes had empty
cupboards—how isauy endured every description of misiry ; yti you heard of do £ 12 , 000 subscribed for them . It followed tbat the merchants and others hud no interest in them . Mr . Haynes thf-n congratulated them upon havicg the physical-force—the torch-and-dag £ er Dr . M'Donall among them—him whom the Government had four . d necessary to put in gaol to keep quiet , and inquired whether he bad utttred acy sentiments to which they did not cordially respond I If the Charter became the law of the land , they could hold a festival similar to the present , net once a year , but once a -week ; they could have their intervals of relaxation in the same manner as lhose rich rascals who now frequented Bath , Cheltenham ,
and other sufh places . Mr . Haynes concluded a long address by showing the progress the cause had lately made , and imprcs ^ -cg upon the ladies present the necessity of following the example of those who went about collecting funds for the poor blacks , and the wicked heathen , things good enough when our own population were happy and comfortable . He ¦ was sure that if the ladies adopted the plan of having a nice little black bag , with a subscription book at the bottom , they would manage tho trading portion of-the business much better than the men , and their accumulations -would be devoted to the noble , the humane purpose , of raising the human family from misery and oppression to happiness and prosperity . ( Cheering . ) The toast was then drank with three times three
and one more . Mr . Bradbear enlivened the company with appropriate harmony . Tie Chairuax , after some appropriate remarks , introduced the next toast . Mr . Gotobed stated that he had been called upon quite unexpectedly to speak to the following toast , u The United Societies of Carpenters o { Great Britain and Ireland , and may their efforts be concentrated in their central board in London , for the establishment of aa asylum for their sged and infirm members , be crowned with success . " He had been a member of their trade society in London for nearly twenty-seven years , and he had often felt surprise that no society of thiB description had been
instituted . If any of them shonld live long enough to-be old what could they expect as their fate ? He had been a labourer in tbis cause many years , and he knew not how he should spend his latter days , but he felt assured they had but little to expect from any party hut themselves . It was their duty , then , to set about raising subscriptions for such a humane purpose . If they depended for an asylum from other partie =, they woul d be bitterly deceived . Those amongst them who tad battled in defence of labour ' s rights vrould experience but little mercy from a race of caphalistists , and machinery had so far deteriorated the value of manual labour as to leave them but small hopes of providing an asylum for them in old ag ( r , save by their united subscript ons . Some gentkmsu had-supposed that when tliey had a chacge
Untitled Article
of ministers they would also get aa alteration in the Poor Law Bill , but Graham had now undeceived them , and unless they adopted the plan of procuring an asylum by their own exertions , they would have nought to expect in their old age but the horrors of a Poor Law bastile . Mr . PsYoahad great pleasure in supporting this toast , but before entering into the subject he wished to contradict an error into which their Chairman bad falleD , and one which he knew he would be glad to correct . Having presided over the two last meetings , politics , he could assert , were no new feature in their meetings ; he need only appeal to their exertions in the Combination Committees to prove thiB . It was true they were not gifted with the
eloquence of Dr . M'Douall , or others who had addressed them . They were better acquainted , as had been observed , with the use of the jack plane , than with political speaking ; the active members of their society had ever been aware that their prosperity depended upon the correct distribution of political power , and that those who held political pewer , had ever been able to tyranise over those who possessed it not . Witn regard to the toast , when they reflected npon the number and intelligence of the carpenters ' body in the metropolis , and upon the liberal manner in which they had ever straggled against every species of oppression , was it not surprising that they had so long allowed those who had expended their bodily energies in the course perhaps of a long
life , to die at last in a union bastile % He was sorry that the resolution did not include females . They equally shared in the dangers and cares of this life , and were equally entitled to protection in their old age . Mr . Pryor then dilated at some length upon the benefits which society derived from the female sex , and concluded by earnestly calling upon them to shield their aged members of both sexes from the horrors of a workhouse , where they were separated from all that was near and dear to them , enclosed in a dismal building , where no eye could see them . Had not many rushed even upon suicide to avoid this fate . ? No nobler work could employ their energies than to raise an asylum to protect the aged , the infirm , and the unfortunate among their members . Mr . Porter , clerk to Mr . Chandler , builder , of
Boar-lane , stated that his employer was anxious to assist them in this laudable undertaking by a yearly subscription , and he know that many other masters would also be willing to aid in carrying out this object . It was also announced that Mr . Hill , tool maker , of Gray's Inn Lane , would assist them by a yearly subscription . The toast was then drunk with three times three , and Mr . Thomas responded to it by a suitable Bnng . The Chairman then introduced the next toast" the Ladies "—by informing them that Mr . O'Connell had stated at a public meeting that he should never have been able to have carried Catholic Emancipation but for the energies of his wife . This Bhowed the importance of females everting themselves in this cause .
Mr . Crawlet then proposed , in a brief and pithy manner , the following toast : — " The Ladies ; and may they see the necessity , and endeavour to instil into the minds of their offspring the spirit of exertion and independence . " Mr . Thomas had great satisfaction in speaking to this toast . He thought it was a duty incumbent upon them to advocate the cause of the fair sex . The mind of man was never so fitted to respond as when under the influence of the near and dear ties which connected him with woman .
The toast was then drank witb the usual honours , and Mr . Rowe favoured the company with a song . The Chairman , in introducing the next toast"The Democratic Press" —stated that the editor of the Statesman , and the reporter of the Northern Slart were present ; these papers bad nobly defended the interests of the working meH , and he trusted they would support those papers . A full aecount of that day ' s meeting would be contained in them on the following Sunday , and he trusted every man present would purchase the one or the other . If it was not for the aid of the press , meetings like the present would have but little effect ; but now their proceedings and thsir speeches would be conveyed to all parts of the kingdom .
Mr . Robert Pbior , in a very excellent address , proposed the following toast : — ' The Democratic Press of England , and may the working Classes of England support those papers only which advocate their Rights . " Mr . Hatnes , in speaking to the toast , stated that he trusted they should erer deserve the support of the public . He was pleased that the Chairman had classed the Statesman and the Northern Star together . It was his desire that they should battle
together for the attainment of the People ' s rights . He knew of no paper which he could better take as a model than the Northern Star which since its commencement had faithfully supported the interests of the working men . The Dispatch realized a profit of £ 30 , 000 a-year from the working classes , and he knew of no reason why papers , advocating their rights , should not prove equally as successful as the one which had vilified them as a body , and refused insertion to their statements , on the occasion of the mason ' s and other strikeB .
Mr . Wheeler spoke at some length to the toast , and eulogised the conduct of the Northern Star , as being the honest and consistent advocate of the working men . He was glad to see the change that had come over the spirit of the press since the presentation of their petition 2 he hailed with satisfaction the establishment of every journal which would trnly advocate the rights of labour , and trusted that the British Statesman would remain firm to the principles which it now advocated . The toast was tnen drank with three cheers .
Mr . Jonas Wartnabt proposed the following toast , which was carried amid loud cheering : — " The speedy liberation of Frost , Williams , and Jones , and this meeting pledges itself to use every exertion in favour of this object . " Mr . Wheeler proposed the health of the Chairman , and expressed his high opinion of the liberal manner in which the day ' s proceedings had been conducted . This was carried unanimously . The Chairman , in an excellent address , returned his thanks for the honour conferred upon him ; The ball-room was under the excellent superintendence of Mr . Cook , and the amusement of dancing was kept up by a very crowded assembly to an early hour , when the company separated , highly pleated with the day ' s proceedings . Our reporter cannot conclude his notice of this meeting without returning his thanks for the liberal manner in which he was invited , and also for the excellent arrangements which were made for his Q O t > /\ m rri r \ r ? a + 1 r \ n
