      TO THE CHARTISTS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM . At the usual "weekly jneeting of the London members of the National Aasociatien , the folio win * Resolutions and Beinonstoance were proposed by Messra Lovett and SiiBinonda , andnnaiumondy agreed to , and ordered to l > e seat to the Liberal papers;—¦«• l . That at all time * the Representatives of 5 free * M intellectual people , stndionriy seeking to promote tfce public -welfare , are highly entitled and will ever secure public courtesy and public esteem , and Trill only

      be lowered in the estimatien of every reflecting mind when they absurdly demand that the wants and -wishes « f the ^ people shall be made known to them in the abject , hnmfele , supplicating terms of a petition . " That the Commons' Hours of Parliament , no vrays representing the people © ftbose realms , bat year after year legislating-in open defiance of their wishes and interest , has perpetuated this relic of feudal and despotic bsxfearism , te the disgust of all mental independence and maniy feeling ; and unlessihia kitmbkjaipp licaii ^ g is scon dispensed "with , bids fair to . render public applications to the Legislature a bye void ana derision .

      ** 3 . That we , in cosjuncfioa with onr fellow countrymen , having complied -with this absurd usage of humbly praying and petitioning year after year for a Tedress of pjgranees , and only obtaining for our answer new burthens and additional wrongs , now respectfully call upon the people of the United Kingdom to adopt and sign -with us the folio-wing , asaNATiosAiRBMOssiBAKCE , to be forwarded to Parliament , -preparatory to the motion that is to be made next sessions for the People ' s Charter . " TO THE C 05 TJI 0 SS' HOT 7 SB OF PABLIAMEST IN THEXB . COUJECIl * £ CAPACITY ASSEMBLED , The Remonstrance of the vadersifpad Inhabitants of this Kingdom ,

      Sheweth , —That && have just cause of complaint and Temonstrasce agarnst yon , -who , is the same of the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland , profess to jeprei » ent , "watch over , and legislate for our interests . Tbat as the aneient and constitutional custom of public petitioning ias , by yenr acts , been Tendered a mere mockery , -we are thus induced to substitute a public remonstrance to yon—it being tbB legitimate means by -which any portion of the people , "whose political rights lave one by one been legislated awsy by their rulers , can appeal to the pnblio © pinion of their country—& tribunal by "Whose "will representation is alone Tendered constitutiona ! , and for whose benefit alone Government is established .

      We justly complain of your ntter disregard , and seeming contempt , of the "wants and 'wishes of the people , as expressed in fiie prayers and "petitions they h * Te been humbly addressing to you , for a number of year * past . For -while they have been complaining of the unequal , uujnst , and cruel laws you have enacted , -which in their operation have reduced millions to poverty , and punished them because they "were poor , jon hare been either increasing the catalogue , or siocking them "with expensive and fruitless commissions , or telling them , that "their poverty "was beyond the reach of legislative enactment' *

      While they have been complaining that you take frcm them three-fourths of their earning , by your complicated system of taxation—and , by your monopolies , force them into unequal competition "with other nations —you have exhibited a contempt for their complaints in your profligate and lavish expenditure at home and abroad , and by a selfish pertinacity in . favour of the monopolies yon have created for yonr own especial interests or those of yonr party . While they have been praying that the Civil List stay be reduced in proportion to the exigencies of the

      state : and , at a time like the present , "when bankruptcy , insolvency , and national destitution prevail to » n extent uuparall&led inMstory , that her Majesty and JwarCenBort sheuM be made acquainted -with the necessity for dispensing -with useless and extravagant frivolitiesj yet yon , in ready compliance with tb « ¦ wishes of the Ministry , have gratified such , extravagance at Hie expenee of -want and wretchedness . If you tad teen ioyal to your Queen , or just to your country , you "would have shown her -the necessity for retrenchment in every fiepartaient of her household .

      While the humane and considerate portien of the populatian have been demonstrating to you the evils of ignorance and source of crime , and lave been entreating you to apply to the purposes of education and secial improvement "the enormous sums "which you inhumanly f « w pi < y fn pnninfaiTig * fof > -TintiTn « rtf your vicious institutions and culpable neglect , you have gone on recklesslydespising the prayers of humanity and justice , augmenting your police , increasing your soldiers , raising pri&ons , asd devising ne"w means of coercion , in a -useless attempt to prevent crime by severity of pnnisbrcejit -tr » wfep » H of cultivating tbe minds , improving the hearts , and administering to the physical necessities of the peopla

      While the intelligence and humanity of our countrymen have been loudly expressed against-sanguinary and cruel -wars—barbarous means for brutalising the people , and perpetuating bull dog courage under the name of glory—yen , "who proEess to yraleh over onr Interests , have , in ordar to gratify ariatocrataral cupidity , selfiBhjtess , and ainbitioa , been supporting unjust and uncalled for -wan , by -which thousands of human beings ka ? c- been led on to slaughter and to death , and through -which our enormous debt has been increased , and the s&pn * of cruelty and injustice brought upon our T ^ jarmia character . WhUe ^ rar brethren have been ^ raying for religious freedom , yon have allowed a state church to take from them up wards ofnjne millions per annum ; independent of tbe evils it inflicts ~ on them fey ita troublesome imposts , grasping aelptnnesB , and anti-gospel peraecutisg apirit .

      While our brsthren have been contending for the free circulation of thought and opinion , through the cfcnTiTtfl of an unshackled press , as a means by "which fauth may be elicited , and our institutions improvedyou Lave been imposing the most arbitrary measures to check public opinion , retard freedom of inquiry , and to prevent knowledge from being cheaply diffused . While our social evils and anomalies have repeatedly been brought before . you , you , "whose duty it -was to pro-Tfcte a remedy , have looted carelessly on , or been intent only on your interest * or your pleasures . Tour own eummlssioners cave reported to you , that thousands of infant children are doomed to -slavery and ignorance in

      our mines and factories , "while their -wretched parents are "wasting labour and needing bread—that wives and mothers , to procure a miserable subsistence for their TipmWwj are compelled to neglect their effspring and their homes , and all the domestic duties which belong to then sex ; that thousands of akSM mechanics are starving on a few pence , -which they obtain for fourteen hours * dally toil—that vast numbers , anxious to labour , are left to linger and perish from" cold and hunger—that in Ireland alone two million three hundred thousand are in a state of beggary and destitution ; and that ZBiBery , wretchedness , and crime are fast spreading their deteriorating ix-Saenee , and gradually undermining the fabric of Bodetyi — --

      -. nor isyour mlsgovemment confined to this country alone , but its baleful influence is felt in every part of the -world -where British authority is known . Throughout our dominions you have permitted rights the most sacred to 1 » invaded in order to provide nesting-places for arirtocratieal fiedg lings . Tou have disregarded the constitutions yen have given , violated the premises you have made , and , spuming the prayers and petitions of onr colonial brethren , you have trampled upon every principle of justice to establish your power , and feed your ravenous lnstfor gain . You lave , -therefore , EboTn by your ads that yon do not represent the grants and-wishes of the people ; on the contrary , self , or party considerations are seen in almsst every enactment you have made , or measure you have sanctioned . So far from representing the commons of this country , or legislating fox them , the majority of you have neither feelings nor interests in Co Himon "with them .

      ltia seen by y wit proceedings , that while the supposed rights of every class and party can find advocates among yon , the ri&ii of labour is left to find its own "level . * Is the justice of tithes-gnestioned , the wisdom- of ecclesiastical Jaw doubted , or a repugnance shown by conscisntiona men to rapport the church they dissent from , tbe church can always find its zealous defenders among yon . Is the expensive and unjust administration of the law complained of , together with aD its . technical and perplexing absurdities—its -wisdom and propriety is at once demonstrated by you * host of legal advocates .

It is moreover notorious that , in the Commons House , which is said to be exclusively the people ' s ! there are too Jtundred and five persons who are imme diately or rtmolAy related to ihe peers of the realm 1 Tbat it also contains 3 maiquisses , 9 earls , 23 viaoounts ,

      37 lords , 32 right honour&blea , 63 feonoorables , 58 baronets , 10 knights , 2 admirals , 8 lord lieutenants , 74 depnjy and vice-lieutenants , 1 general , 1 lieutenantgeneral , 7 major-generals , 22 colonels , 32 lieutenantcolonels , 7 majors ; 67 captains in army and navy , 32 lieutenants . 3 cornets , 53 magistrates , 63 placemen , besides 108 patrons of church livings having the patronage cf 247 livings between them ; and there are little more than SOD out of the 658 members of your house , who have not ethar titles , office , plice , pension , or church patroDEee .

      These facts afford abundant . proofs that you neither represent ihe number or tbe inleresJs of tbe millions , but that the greatest portion of you have Interests foreign , or directly opposed , to the true interests of the people of this country . ' Setting aside your party changes and rival bickerings , important only to those among you who are in possession of the pnblle purse ; "with a knowledge of yonr past actions and with these notorious facts before us , —as plain-speakiBg men , claiming the freedom of speech as onr birthright , "we hesitate not to declare , that individually and collectively you have all been tried by the test of public utility , and with few exception have been found wanting in every requisite for representatives of an intelligent and industrious population .

      The "wide extent of misery which your legislation bas occasioned , and the spread of information "which your decrees could not suppress , have called up enquiring minds in every portion of the empire to investigate your actions , to question your authority , and finally to condemn yonr UDJust and exclusive power . They have demonstrated to their brethren , that the only rational use of the institutions and laws of society , is to protect , encourage , and support , all that can be made to contribute to ihe Tiappinest-ofall ihe people . That as the object to be attained is mutual benefit , so ought the enactment of laws te be by mutual consent . That obedience to the I&ws can only be justly enforced on the certainty that those "who are called on to obey them have had , either personally or by their representatives , a power to enact , amend , or repeal them .

      That all who are excluded from this share of political power , are not justly included within tbe ' operation of the laws . To them the laws are not only despotic enactments ; and the assembly from "whom they emanate can only be considered an uuholy interested compact deviling plans and schemes for taxing and subjugating the many . In consonance with these opinions , they have embodied in a document called " The People ' s Charter , " such just and reasonable principles of representation as , in their opinion , are calculated to secure honest legislation and good gsvernment . That document proposes to confer the franchise on every citizen of twenty-one years of age , who has resided in a district three months , who is of sane mind , and unconvicted of crime .

      It proposes to divide the United Kingdom into three hundred electoral districts , containing as nearly as may be an equal number of inhabitants , each district to send one Member to Parliament , and no

      more . It proposes to take the votes of the electors by ballot , in order to protect them against unjust influence . It proposes that Parliament be chosen annually . Ifrproposea to abolish property qualifications for members of Parliament It proposes that members of Parliament be paid for their services : and moreover contains the details by "which &il these propositions shall be carried into practice .

      This document , being so just in its demands , has already received the sanction of a vast portion of the population , and petitions in its favour have already bees laid before you , containing a larger otfmber of signature 3 than , probably , baa ever been obtained in favour of any legislative enactment : and thongh indiscretion among some of its advocates may have retarded public epinion in its favour , we are confident that the conviction in favour of its justice and political efficacy has taken deep root in the mind of tbe nation , and is making rapid progress among all classes not interested in existing corruptions . That you may see the wisdom and propriety of timely yielding to such opinion in favour of a better representative system , and that you will speedily declare in favour of the People ' s Chab-IBB ; or , by resigning your seats , prepare the -way for those "who will enact it as the law of these realms , is tie ardeni prayer of the undersigned inhabitants of this kingdom .

Rose reported from the Metropolitan Victim Fund Committee ; Mr . Simpson moved , and Mr . Wheeler seconded , the folkrcring resolution : — "That this delegate meeting recommend to the various localities throughout the metropolis "which are not represented on the Metropolitan Yicfcim Defence and Support Fund Committee the propriety of immediately sending a

      delegate to asaut m carrying its operations into effect Messrs . Humphreys , Dtob , Page , Maynard , * Rose , and other delegates ably . supported the motion , which was unanimously carried .

Mr . Humphreys , moved , and Mr . Dron seconded , a vote of thanks to Mr . Simpson for his services as treasurer to tbe above fund , carried unanimously . Mr . Wheeler moved , and Mr . Bose seconded , the following resolution : — " Tbat this delegate meeting feel highly gratified with tbe liberal offer of Mr . Cleave in reference to tbe back numbers pf the English Chartist Circular , and strongly recommend tbe metropolitan

      districts and the country generally to accept of the offer and carry it into immediate operation , it being an easy , and at the same time an efficient mode of realizing funds in aid of those who have been victimized in the Chartist cause . " Several delegates having expressed themselves favourable to the motion , it "was unanimously agreed to . The subject of the address of the proprietor « f the Evening Star was spoken to by Messrs . Simpson and Wheeler . Mr . "kludge moved , and Mr . Grew seconded , " Thai we take into consideration Mr . Cooper's Plaa of Organization . " Carried . After some little discussion as to tbe method to be pursued in carrying out the resolution , 2 Sx . Guflay moved tbe following resolution : — "That it is the opinion of this Delegate Meeting that the new

      Plan of © rganizition proposed by Mr . Cooper is by no means equal to the old plan if that is properly acted upon , -we therefore respectfully reject it , at the aame time "we tbink there is room for amendment in the old plan . " He considered the expense of the new plan would be an iusurmountabi * objection , he was opposed to the presidential sittings , and to the aristocratic manner in which the salaries -were appointed . He "was also opposed to the Convention electing officers for the "whole association , and gave the plan his decided opposition . Mr . Maynard seconded the resolution . He should give ihe plan his most unqualified and determined opposition . He conceived it would require enormous funds to carry it out ; in his opinion it was entirely undemocratic to allow & committee to elect a head for the

      whole association ; he was In favour of tha present plan , with some slight alterations . He thought that the people had been equally to blame "with the Executive in not carrying it oat . The Executive should be properly paid for their services , and attend solely to the business of the country . Mr . Simpson entirely disapproved of itr . Cooper ' s plan , and considered that ie { Mr . C . ) had been equally guilty with others in deviating from the old plan , Mr . Bose -was in favour of the plan advocated by Mr . Hill , of a paid Secretary and an unpaid committee . Mr . Wheeler "was opposed to the main feature of the plan proposed by Mr . Cooper . The election of officers by a limited Convention , would give great scope for the

      exercise of faction ; he could see no , utility in having & Tice President or a Tioe Secretary , unless it was to make up the number of five , "which Mr . Cooper considered to be necessary for an Executive . He was in favour of a paid Secretary , an unpaid Treasurer , and a committee of four residing in the same town as tbe Secretary , -who should act as assistant * or advisers to Mm , and receive a small monthly salary for their services . Mr . Dron should record his opinions in opposition to the plan of Mr . Copper , but was also opposed to an unpaid committee , as proposed by Mr . Hill ; he conceived that to be flying from one extreme to the other—he -was in favour of a middle course . He

      "was very sorry that the country bad ceased to send in contributions to the Executive until they "were out of omae or had resigned . It "was a duty incumbent upon them to afford them tteir support ; Mfc Pag # "was opposed t <> the principle tortures of Mr Cooper" * plan , *?*• ™ ja « ht tt » avti » system of monthly Balance Sheets and Class Papers -would Jbe an improvement xipon the present plan .

      given to a similar effect . Mr . Page was instructed by the Bloomsbnry locality to lay before them the following resolution , agreed to at a public meeting of that body : Resolved , that it is the opinion of this meeting that on account of the important business transacted by the National Charter Association , we , the Chartists of Bloomsbury , feel called upon to recommend , and think it most important tbat the Metropolitan delegate meeting should immediately go to the election of a General Secretary ( pro . tern } , to fill up the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr . John Campbell ; we deem it of the greatest cpnseqnence , owing to the very unsettled state pf affairs , not knowing where to apply for cards or otherwise to forward communications which it is the business of a General Secretary alone : te receive . We

      therefore take the liberty of suggesting to the said delegate meeting the necessity of purchasing & fresh eet of books , in case Mr . Campbell ( the late Secretary ) do not immediately give up the books , cards , and papers , the same being property belonging to the National Charter Association . We further recommend that the delegate meeting do take into their consideration the propriety of making some alteration In the cards to be issued in future , or take such means : as they may think proper , to prevent any cards ( held back from the Association ) being issued , until the said Association are perfectly satisfied and the accounts settled . We , the Chartists of Bloomsbury , think this a most important question on account of a determination come to by Mr . Campbell not to give up the books ,

      cards , and papers until he the said 3 . Campbell is paid the sum of £ 16 15 a 9 id . being monies due to him by the said association . " The resolution , on the motion of Mr . Rose , was received . Mr . Page then brought his motion for tbe delegate meeting to appoint a secretary pro . iem . Messrs . Wheeler , Dron , Cuffay , and others thought that the delegate meeting had no authority , and that the matter must be left to the decision of tbe whole body . Mr . Page then postponed the motion until the following Sunday . Mr . Mudge having stated his intention cf going for a period into the West of England , the Secretary was Instructed to give him ; a certificate , as being an active and trustworthy Chartist After the transaction of other minor btuine&s , the meeting adjourned .

      Mr . Pabb . 1 lectured to a very numerous audience on Sunday evening , at the National Association Hall , Hoiborn ; upon " The Life and Genius of Lord Byron . " It -was an intellectual treat of the highest order , and gave universal satisfaction . Political and Scientific Institute . —An important meeting of the Committee was held on Sunday , Mr . J . Coleman in chair . The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed . Deputations were appointed to visit all the localities in London , to request the members to take up shares in the above Institution Immediately , for the purpose of

      completeing the repairs requisite previous to the opening of the same , which isexpBcted to be in about a month ' s time . The working committee reported the progress of repairs and recommended some plans 'regarding the lighting up the large room , and also a plan of the platform which were ado pted by the committee asd ^ agieed to by this committee . The deputation appointed to collect funds reported the result of their labours , from which it appeared the total amounts collected by gifts , shares , and loans , amounted to about one hundred pounds , which has been expended in repairs and towards paying the premium of , £ 100 for lease . Tbe following prospectus has been issued : —

      THE CUT OF LONDON POLITICAL AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION . 1 st . —The objects of the Institute ore to establish a cheap and commodious place of meeting , for all ordinary public occasions , ( except that of religious discussions ) snob as Political Meetings of any patty , trades meetings , lectures , and innocent recreations . ' 2 nd . —Te ^ establish a library and reading room , upon such m&derateterms as to all » w the working classes to freely profit thereby . 3 rd . —To establish a day school , at the lowest possible price , yet of a character calculated to afford sound and useful education . 4 th—The management of the Institute will be under twenty-five directors , nineteen of whom are appointed from and by the shareholders at each of their annual general meetings ; the six trusteesbeing ex oJRcio directors .

      The committee have taken possession of part of a large building in Turnagain-Iane , Skinner-street , City of London , which they are converting into a Hall , 76 ft . long by 24 ft wide , capable of holding one thousand five hundred persons , which will have attached to it a Library room and Committee room . The premises are taken for four years and nine months , from Christmas , 1842 , at the yearly tent of thirty guineas , after paying a premium of one hundred pounds , and are held in tbe names of six trustees . A deposit has been paid to the landlord , and an agreement for * a lease executed , with liberty to extend the term to seven , fourteen , or twentyone years longer . The calculation which th « committee have made of the yearly cost of the Hall is as follows ;— £ s . d . Premium , paid on deposit ... 5 0 0 To be paid by the 20 th Feb . 1843 9 i 0 I Estimates of repairs and fitting up 200 0 0

      £ 300 0 0 Which divided by 4 | years , makes per annum ... 80 o 0 Rent 31 10 o Taxes m 15 0 0 Insurance ... ... 4 0 0

      £ 130 10 0 The Committee have divided the right in that Hall into five thousand shares of five shillings each , which , when sold , "would afford aa ample fond for carylng out "the objects of the Institute . But as success in selling the shares -will in , some measure depend upon the occupation and use of the Hall , the committee have determined to ask the aid of those who agree with them in the great usefulness of their undertaking . Three hundred and forty shares have been sold , and donations to the amount of thirty pounds have been received , independent of others promised . Theophilus Salmon , Secretary , 6 , New Court , Farringdon-street .

      The committee in laying the above prospectus before the public , wish to say tbat the sums therein ennmerated will cover every expense requisite to carry out the objects , therein contained , as they consider it very important , that tbe public should not be buoyed up with false hopes , as is the case too often among companies to catch the unwary . Tbe books of rules have also been printed and ordered to be sold at two-pence each only , to be had of the committee and any agent and committee in all therooms of meeting in London . The deputations appointed to visit various members of Parliament , reported tbe result of their labours , "which were on the whole very encouraging . Mr . O'Connor had also promised to give three lectures on the land in the new hall , "when opened for the benefit of tbe same . Among ;

      the noblemen and gentlemen who subscribed to the establishment of the Hall , were the following : —The Kight Hon . Earl Radnor , £ 15 ; Thomas Penn , Esq ., of Greenwich , £ 5 6 s . who promised further assistance ; Dr . Fellowes , £ 2 ; Dr . Bowring , M . P ., £ 1 ; Bracey Clark , Esq ., 5 s ., with a promise of five pounds worth of books , as soon as a library is formed . Several other gentlemenhad likewise promised to assist the committee as soon as Parliament met . T . S . Duncombe , Esq ., M . P ., had also promised to give the committee £ 25 to assist them in so laudable an undertaking . Totes of thanks were passed to tbe above gentlemen for their kindness . Mr . Cleave also made the committee a

      present of 500 Chartist Circulars , to be sold for the benefit of the halL The committee meet every Sunday morning , at ten , and every Wednesday evening , at eight o ' clock , to dispose of shares and receive monies due for thesams , at their temporary Hall , 65 , Old Bailey . Much praise is doe to the committee for their pereeverence in waiting upon parties day and night , to endeavour to collect funds to open the Hall , which when done , will form a very coftunodious and handsomeplace of meeting , much to the credit of the working men of London , -who it is hoped "will back the committee in opening tbe above place , by taking out nhama .

      At a meeting of the United Chartist shoemakers , held at tae Star Coffee-house , Golden-lane , Mr . Baxter was called to the chair ; npon the motion of Mr . Kearaea , it was unanimously agreed that we adopt the plan of Organization as laid down by Mr .

Thomason lectured here on Sunday afternoon last , and intends rousing the people of these districts to a sense of their duty by out-door lecturing as soon as the weather becomes a- little fine . DUDLEY—Mr . Cook has received two shillings and sixpence from Kingawood for Mr . Mason . Ibis 1 b the sixth contribution from the same place . MXDDLETON . —On Thursday evening week , Mr . James Leach , of Manchester , lectured in the Reformers ' Chapel , on the fallacies and rank hypocrises of the Corn Law Repealers , to a numerous and respectable audience .

      CABLIBL 5 . —THE WORKING MEN ' S MENTAL Imphovemenx Society . —The members of this socisty have had two night ' s very animated discussion , on the following question— " What hopes are there of a speedy and cordial union between tbe middle and working classes of society , in this country , from the results of the Birmingham Conference ? " Mr . Bowman opened the discussion by taking a review of the proceedings which toak place at the varlouB elections , for choosing members to the Conference , and regretted tbat a spirit of intolerance bad been exhibited , not at all compatible with public liberty . This spirit be was aorry to say had been carried into the Conference , and had been the cause of the division which had taken place . He condemned the Sturae party for retiring on being lefb in a minority on Mr . Lovett's amendment ; and concluded a long address , by calling on the people to think and set

      for themselves . Mr . GUbertson followed . He took a retrospective view of the conduct of tbe middle classes during the passing of tbe Reform Bill , aud showed how they had deceived the people on all occasions , when they had an opportunity of doing so ; indeed he had no confidence in them 'Whatever , and would advise the people not to trust them again . He then dwelt on the proceedings at the Conference , and strongly condemned the conduct of the Sturge party in wishing for priority , and refusing Mr . Lovett ' s offer to withdraw his amendment , if they would allow tbe Charter to be laid on the table and discussed in conjunction with the Bill as drawn up by the Sturge party . He read several quotations from the Northern Star , in illustration of his views . Messrs . Hutchinson , Armstrong , and Hanson , severally addressed the meeting , afttt isbicb , Mr . Bow ^ man replied and tbe discussion closed .

      ARBBOATH . — Mr . Abram Duncan delivered a a very instructive and energetic lecture in tbe Chartist Hall , Burnside , on Saturday , Jan . 21 , on the taxation of the country ; Mr . Robert Stevenson in the cbair . Mr . D . eaid tbe time has not yet arrived when every British subject has got sufflolent food and clothing , for we find tbat tenfold misery has increased of late years by mlsgovernraent , and the people will continue to sink in the scale of moral degradation aud wretchedness until equal justice ia done to them . Taxes are increased , and the social system is diminishing , and unless the people are enfranchised they will never be free and elevated as rational beings . We toil , and our labour is taxed , and all the articles necessaty for existence are taxed . The light of heaven is taxed , and we can only enjoy it in our homes by paying to the

      Government a tax ; if we live , we are taxed ; if we die , we are taxed . Ages yet unborn are taxed previous to their coming into existence . There is but one remedy for slavery , and that is unien . Liberty is not to be bought with gold : its price is too high ; its value too great The enslaved mnst themselves unite to break their fetters ; must get political power in their own bands ; must exercise that power honestly and with discretion ; and freedom in this world will speedily be established . Let us swear by all tbat is sacred and dear to us to make every effort human capability affords us peacefully , though resolutely and determinately , to set up the banner of liberty on the high hills of our native land , that it may be viewed by the world , and that our brethren in all parts of the globe may emulate our patriotic and virtuous example ..

      Mary-hill . —A . public meeting was held in the Odd Fellows * Hall , on Wednesday evening week , to hear a report of two of the delegates from Glasgow to the Conference at Birmingham . Mr . James Adams gave a very minute detail of the proceedings of the Conference , which met with general approbation ; and Mr . John Colquhonn also addressed the meeting at considerable length . It was moved by Mr . Lennie and seconded by Mr . Nicol , " Tbat the thanks of the Chartists of Maryhill be respectfully tendered to each of tbe delegates who voted for the People's Charter at the Conference at Birmingham , " which was carried without a dissentient . A vote of thanks was than carried to the delegates from Glasgow with acclamation , when the meetbag quietly dispersed .

      NEWCASTJ-E . —The Suffragists of this locality had the walls placarded , announcing a public meeting of members to hear the report of their delegates to the Conference . Messrs . Kidd aud Sinclair ( believing they were acting perfectly right ) attended in the capacity of reporters to take a report of the proceedings for the Star , &c . ; but Sinclair had scarcely entered the room , when tbe " Sucking Pig" General , Wilkie , calculating upon the assistance of tbe rest of the humbugs , opened a regular tirade of abuse against Sinclair in particular

      and the Chartists In general ; and concluded by stating that they could not ¦ proceed with business , if their proceedings were to be reported to tbe world , and requested the whole of the Chartists to withdraw , whose presence bad been attracted by a report that the humbugs intended to use Kidd and Sinclair badly . Kldd said that be attended as a reporter to one of tbe most popular journals of the day ; and tbat if they requested it , he would instantly retire , and leave them alone in their glory ; but before he did so , he would beg to inform Mr . W . that he was ashamed of the conduct of the

      Sturgites at the Conference . He was prepared to prove their conduct on that occasion to be anti-democratic ; and , moreover , be would prove to those present , or to any man at any time or place , tbat tbe Sturgemen were either dishonest , or else impolitic , and checked Mr . Wilkie in some insinuations which he had thrown out against Mr . O'Cjnnor in a private company in Birmingham . Mr . W , attempted to deny , but finding tbat Mr . K . was not to be trifled with , he had to confess , but would not undertake to prove bis assertions to be true—the Chartists afterwards extracting a pledge from the " Sucking Pigs , " that they would not pass resolutions , and stamp them as the resolutions of a public meeting , then retired . Tbe League having no faith

      in the' honesty of the cause they advocate , found it inexpedient to bold public meetings In Newcastle and Sunderland , as at first intended , bat collected their whole forces from Sunderland , South Shields , North Shields , Durham , Stockton , Hescham , Morpeth , Alnwick , Gateshead , Blyth , and Newcastle , to attend a public meeting in Newcastle , on Friday evening last , as they considered it dangerous to meet the Chartists of Newcastle with a less number at their backs than the humbugs of all the aforesaid towns and districts . After all ( hey were afraid to try the experiment , without surrounding their chairman , the spital knight , with a shilling hedge , for none : ; were admitted to the body of the hall without paying one shilling , and sixpence to tbe gallery . Tbe Chartists knew better than to enrich

      their enemies by any such way , and wrote a challenge to the League , appointing Messrs . Frankland and Sinclair as a deputation to present it to them at the public meetina . When they arrived at the door they explained their mission , but would not be admitted "Without paying one penny each . Sinclair undertook the business by himself , and walking up to the platform presented tbe following note to the chairman , requesting him to read it aloud , which be did , viz . " TheChartists of Newcastle and Gateshead , are prepared to prove that a repeal of the Corn Laws , without accompanying measures , cannot benefit the working classes of this oountry , and do hereby challenge Mr . Cobden , Mr . Bright , CoL P . Thompson , or any other gentleman to prove the contrary , at a public meeting npon equal terms . By order of the Chartists of Newcastle and Gateshead , James

      Sinclair , Secretary . "— -No sooner "was the cote read than the humbugs were filled with consternation . They declared they vouldkiok Sinclair off the platform for having the impudence 4 o come and challenge them , thinking that as be . xWas the only Chartist there , he would take the hint ' and run away ; but they soon found that they bad got the wrong sow by the ear—he was not of the run-away sort , but offered to exchange kicks with any of them that should make any such attempt . After the meeting , Messrs . Kidd , Con Murray , and Sinclair , hunted all the hotels in town for Mr . Cobden , to demand an explanation from him respecting the insinuations thrown out against tbe Chartists by him ; but it was no go . It would appear tbat he avoided coming in contact with them , knowing that they were too heavy metal for him .

      MANCHESTER . —A public meeting was held in the . Chartist Room , Brown-atreet , on Thursday evening last , to hear a lecture delivered upon the principles of the People ' s Charter by Mr . Brown , from London . Tbe room wus crowded . Mr . Wm . Dixon was called to the ichair . Mr . Brown , upon coming forward , was greeted by loud applause .- He commenced by stating that nothing could znore effectually prove the rapid progress of the principles of democracy ( ban the foot that the working classes had found , that in order to be in possession of their just rights ,, it waa neeeseary that they themselves should do tbe work . Some few years ago , it was the general opinion of the working

      population , that in order to apolitical agitation it was necessary that they should be in possession of a liberal education . But since the commencement « f the present agitation for the Charter , the working men hW found out that they could advocate the principles contained that document , because those principles were founded upon truth , and therefore needed no sophistry to recommend them to the people . They had found also that by coming in contact with their opponents in the arena . of public discussion , that notwithstanding they were clad in fustian with their faces unwashed and their chins unshorn , that they were more than a match for those who dated to meet them , although they were

      Untitled Article

      dressed in tbe Cu ? at of coats , with sleek faces , and the advantages of education on their side ; and if any thing was wanting to prove this , he need net go out of Manchester to substantiate the fact- Had they not known Jack , Sam , and Bill to leave the factory and the loom after a hard day ' s work and go to meet the tools of the League , and by their plain unvarnished tales of truth to make the Corn Law gents , wince beneath tbe oastigationa that they had repeatedly given them ? ( load cheers . ) Mr . Brown then gave a favourable account of the progress of Chartism in the metropolis , and urged tbe audience to inculcate and encourage the growth of the principles of temperance and virtue , and in a powerful manner depicted the evils of intemperance , nationally , morally , and politically . Mr . Brown sat down amid the most rapturous applause . Some interesting amusements then followed , and the meeting broke up . I

      The South Lancashire Delegate Meeting was bbld in the Chartist Room , Brown-street ,. Manchester , on Sunday last The attendance of delegates was larger than has been the case lately . Mr . Haslem was called to the chair . Tbe Secretary read the minutes of the last meeting , which were confirmed . Mr . Nattall then rose to bring forward the motion of which he gave notice at the last meeting . As Chartists they were bound to carry out the principles which they advocated as far as possible in tbeir own concerns . He was sorry to say this * had not been attended to as much as it ought to have been . One of tbe points of tbe Charter was equal representation ; and , therefore , the object of the present motion was to amend the constitution of tbe county council , bo as to procure the benefit ef equal

      representation to the Chartists of this division of Lancashire . The principles of the resolution were just , and therefore needed net a long speech upon it . He would , therefore , content himself by reading the resolution : —" That in the opinion of this meeting , in order to providejfor the just representation of the Chartists in tbe county council , tbat each locality be allowed one delegate for each fifty members ; and in order that all may be i represented , those that have not tbe number of members shall have one delegate to the said council . '' Mr . Dixon seconded the motion . Mr . laherwood moved an amendment , and in doing bo he wiBhed to be distinctly understood . Ho agreed with the spirit Of the resolution moved by bis friend Mr . NuttaU , but it was his opinion tbat if the resolution was passed , it would

      destroy the very thing it was intended to secure—equal representation ; for instance , Warrington , supposing it to have 150 , members , it would coat them thirty shillings for delegate expenses , whilst Manchester could send the same number of delegates "without any expense whatever , and tbe same might ; be said of all tbe other ) localities ; therefore if the motion was adopted , whilst it made the representation equal , it also made the delegate expenses very unequal . It was with those ! views that he brought forward his amendment— That it is the opinioa 6 f this meeting , that each j locality have two votes for every hundred members , and an additional vote for every flirty members above tbat number , providing they have a delegate present ; ar . d all

      localities noc having fifty members shall be allowed one delegate . " i Mr . Railton seconded tbe amendment After a little discussion Mr . Nattall withdrew his motion ia favour of the amendment . — Mr . Millar then moved the original motion as an amendment to Mr . Isherwood ' e motion , which was seconded by Mr . Cameron . An animated but friendly debate took place npon tbe relative merits of the two resolutions ; and , ) upon being put to the vote , Mr . Isherwood ' s motion was carried . Mr . Nuttall moved , and Mr . Railton seconded , "That we engage a lecturer for this district . ' '—Carried unanimously . Mr . Cameron moved , and Mr . leherwood seconded , " Tbat the salary of the lecturer be 30 s . per week . "—Carried . On the motion of Mir . Railton , Mr . C . Doyle was engaged for a

      fortnight , to commence npon next Monday but one . Moved by ; Mr . laherwood , and seconded by Mr . Hibbert— " That Messrs . Railton , MillergKuttall , and Dixon be elected as a committee to make out a route for Mr . Doyle , and to bring out the new plan . "Agreed to . Tbe case of Mr . Thomas Dickinson , better known as the Manchester Packer , was brought before tbe delegates by Mr . Nuttall , and supported By Wm . Dixon ; and , after a calm and impartial investigation of all the circumstances of that gentleman's case , the delegates passed ] the following resolutions unanimously : — " That we , the delegates of South Lancashire , in delegate meeting assembled , after examining the charges

      brought against Mr . Thos . Dickinson , better known as the Manchester Packer , declare , tbat unless other evidence can ] be produced than that brought before us , we exonerate him from all blame , and request that he will continue in the agitation as s general lecturer . " Mr . Isherwood moved , at ; d Mr . Hibbert seconded , — " Tbat we , tbe delegates of South Lancashire , do not interfere with' tbe plan proposed by Mr . Cooper at the present . " Carried unanimously . Mr . Isberwood moved the adjournment of the meeting until that day three weelu . Agreed to . Tbe Chartist painters of Manchester paid in ninepence to tbe Irish lecturer ' s fund . Tbe thanks of the delegates were then given to the chairman , and the meeting separated .

      A GENERAL Meeting of the Chartists of Manchester was held ] in tbe Carpenters' Hall , on Sunday morning last ,: Mr . Jobn Murray in tbe cbair . The following resolutions were passed : — " Tbat this meeting , after duly considering the Plan of Orgauizatien , proposed by Mr . Cooper , of Leicester , are of opinion that it would | be found wholly impracticable , besides exposing many of our best friends to the meshes of the law , and therefore they deem it prudent to reject it altogether . " ' ? Tbat this meeting believing tbat the old Plan of Organization might be rendered perfectly efficient for all , tb % -purposes required , are therefore of

      opinion tbat )| j | l § £ g ate meeting Bhould be called to consider its detmSShnnd to make such additions and eniem ' atlonB aa the delegates instructed by tbeir various constituencies might think necessary . " " That this meeting recommend to the country the following five persens , v ' l . Messrs . Dron , Maynard , Lucas , Wheeler , and Ridley , as a committee to audit the books of the . Executive Committee . " After some conversation upon a variety of local business the meeting "was adjourned until tbe first Sunday in February . All communications for the Chartists meeting in Carpenters' Hall must be addressed to Maurice Donovan , 15 , Gardenstreet , Holme , Manchester .
