      the injury : the working classes had suffered by the misapplication of the profits arising from the employment of machinery ; contending that it was not the ignorance , bat the intelligence of the people that was dreaded by those who at present withheld from them political power .

He advised the Chartists to oave nothing to do with either of them .

      ZiEITH . —At a meeting of the Leitn Chartist Association , held on Thursday evening week , the 10 th instant , called for the purpose of considering the forthcoming Conference , the following resolution was unanimously agreed to : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting that a Conference is necessary at the present time for the purpose of forming an Organisation for tbe whole kingdom ; and farther we are of opioion that in common justice , that Conference ought to be held in Scotland , as the Beotoh people have always been at the expense of sending delegates to England , and we think that oar English brethren ought not to refuse coining for once to Scotland , therefore we would propose that Edinburgh be tbe place of meeting , it being the most central and easy of access to our English friends : and

      we also propose that the said Conference take place on Monday tee j 18 th September . " The above resolution was agreed to , after a somawhat lengthened discussion , in the course ; Of which the following were among the arguments used in favour of tbe resolution . Firat , all the National Conventions , and Conferences have been held in England , which has been the cause of ruining , almost without exception , the funds of every locality in Scotland , i Second , some of our Engliah brethren say that the aid and assistance of the Scotch ib necessary for the forming of a good , sound , and National Qrganiaition . 1 We are aware that if the Conference be held ia England , there will not at the utmost be above two or three places able to send delegates . Edinburgh and surrounding districts would not be able to send even one delegate among them ; and it Is

      certainly of importance that Edinburgh should be represented ia the forthcoming Conference . Third , the utility of Holding the Conference in Scotland is almost self-evident : It would be the means of stimulating our countrymen to make an tffort to have themselves represented there ; for verily they are sick of sending delegates to EDgland , which has seldom hitherto been productive of much good ; and we think it would also be tbe meana of causing Englishmen to exett themselves to send delegates to Scotland , which they have never yet done . The reason why we suggest Edinburgh as the place of roeeting is because it is toe very seat and hotbed of Whlggery , and stands much in need of some such excitement as would necessarily be produced where such a body are assembled : and thereby it would be the means of doing the cause In this quarter a great deal of good .

      STOCKPORT . —On Sunday evening last , Mr . John Leach , of Hyde , lectured in the large irpom . Eillgate . Every atteution was paid by the audience , and , entire satisfaction given .

Mr . Hill is no longer editor of tbe Northern Stair . y ] and ire hereby tender eur sincere thanks to that gentlenian for his Btern and UDflinching advocacy of the people ' s rights since his connexion with that paper ; and we truat , the ardent desire he has manifested for maintaining inviolate the pure principles of Democracy amongst the Chartist body , in the capacity of editor , will ! remain unabated f and we haU with pleasure the opportunity , as well as the intention of Mr .

      TO THE ENEMIES OF MONOPOLY IN EVERY ; FORM . FRIENDS , —We respectfully call your attention to a recent combination of a portion of the master typefounders ( notwithstanding all that has been done and Bald by these said masters to establish free-trade principles , which they sincerely flfliuire in every business but their own , ) to monopolize the whole of tbe trade ; in order to this they have made some considerable reduction to the printers In the price of materials , with an acknowledged view of driving certain masters from the market , when it is said they will restore them to their former prices , but as that Involves a sacrifice , they ( tke nutteit ) have informed their workmen they mud have their profits , and consequently submitted to n » , on the first Of July last , ai list of prices , in which there ¦ w as a reduction in the price of oqr labour of from ten

      to ; twenty per cent ; to avoid a collision we yielded to the reduction , upon which submission they have calculated upon tbe ease and' safety of a still further reduction , and have submitted another list , varying from twenty-three to seventyifive p « r cent . Not being able tofprovioe for our families with such a low remuneration for our labour , we have reluctantly made a firm and respectful resistance , but of no avail ; we are thertfoie compelled to inake an appeal to tbe trades and public in general , for sympathy and support . As some of the proscribed masters have not reduced the wages of the workmen : we shall in justice to them , ( with their permission , ) pablish their namea far public approbation , and we earnestly hope that all the friends of free-trade will gtva us their support to destroy monopoly , and uphold those masters who give a remunerating price for the labour of their workmen .
