      MANCHESTER . SOUTH IANCASHIBE DELEaATB MEETING . The above meeting took place on Sunday last , in th& Chartist xoomTBrown-stree * , East Manchester . Delegates present—Mr . James Cirtledge , for WBJrington ; Mr . Henry NufcuU , Ti b ^ eet , Manchester ; Mr . John Crowther , Waterbead-Millij ; Mr . Wm . Gmwoott , Brown-street , Manchester ? Mr . Wnghi Sirift , SuJyted «»; Mi Jossrii Lomu Saand- « treet , Manchester ; Mr . Richard Hadem , Oldbam : Mr . Bichard Littler , Salford ; Mr . Josiah Collier , fcaflswerth and Bolliogwood ; Mr . Henry Stansfield , tailors and shoemakers , Manchester ; Mr . Dsrid Morrison , Eooles ; Mr . Charles Connor , Milesplaiting , WOTfE "** " * ; Mr , Jonah Schofield , Drojladen and Opeashawj Mr . John lJooteoo . Boden-lane ; Mr . Joshua Brifjrs , Pilkington ; Mr . Robert Ward , Middleton ; Mr . William Mitchell , Shaw ; Mr . Edward Bradley , Mossley ; Mr . Jolm Byron , Newton-Heath .

      Mr . John Crowther was called to the chair . Tba business was opened by a discussion upon the circumstance of there being two delegate meetings held in South L&ccashire at the same time , one at OlJham and the other at Manchester . Several delegates rose and said they had been asked whether there had been a split in the Chartist ranks in that county . Mr . FfiKi . gn rose and said , that so far as there btbg any split , he thought it would be at once discovered that there could be no such intention on the part of the Oldham Chartists , because they had sent a deleft- to represent thew at that meeting which he conceived looked nothing like a eplii . Some ob ? . rations were made by other Delegates , and the

      subject dropped . Mr . Littler remarked tbsi there was an urgent necessity for a lecturer , becacsa the good which had been accomplished by Mr . Leach might be done equally so by a lecturer' possessing the same abilities . He likewise complained of the neglect of many of the l&ctnrers in not attending to their appointments ; he had been compelled to officiate eight or nine times . Meetiu . es had been called which had been numerously attended , and no person to address item , which was calculated , when often repsaxed , to injure the cause . Mr . Lokas thoaght the best way to avoid such disappointments was to allow no name to be put upon the plan bat who would either pledge himself to attend , or provide a suitable person to officiate for

      Mr . Litiler moTed that each delegate come prepared to state the names of thor e to be put upon the plan , likewise the propriety of electing a county lecturer , and who he should be . The motion was then seconded , put , and carried unanimously . A long discussion then commenced upon the drawing up of the plan , in order to so arrange it as to EEit the time and convenience of the various lecturers , and about one man beirg teo often sent to the game place . Jlr . CiBttBDSB , secretary , perfectly agreed with that , inasmuch as he had been placed in the situation of the man ard his ass , whotriei to please everybody and lost Ma ass into the bargain . Mr . Lojus said they had at first very large meetings , bat in consequence of lecturers net coming according to appointments , the meetings had of late fallen off . Rve lecinrers hsui been planned for Strandstreet , and out of thai numbsr only one iMr . Griffin ) had attended .

      Mr . Mokiuso : * and other delegates made the same complaints . At Eccles they would neither place confidence in notices "verbally or by VMs , having several times been disappointed . It certainly was very disheartening , after placarding , to have nobody . Hi « constituents would believe no one until he actually shewed Ms face-Mr . John Leech , of Hyde , said they could have rerv large meetings at that town , but when they assembled to the number of two thousand , they had to go away again as th ^ y came . Mi . James Leach noticed through the Star , that he would lecture at Staljbridge and Hyde . Ue went to the former , but at Byde , though there was a meeting of three thousand people , no cue came . Such proceedings had done them great injury . Mr . Nuttaix brought forward the following resolttfion , winch was carried unanimously : —

      " That there be a committee appointed , consisting of persons from each ward in Manchester , to assist the secretar j in drawing up the plan for the next three months , and that each district in South Lancashire requiring lecturers , do distinctly inform the secretary , how cften they want lectures , the nights on which they must , attend , also tha names and residents of all persons in tbeir various localities who are wiling to be put upon tne plan as lecturers , thejiights upon , which they can attend , and the distance to which they can conveniently ^ go ; and that the above , and every other information be sent to the secretary , Mr . James Caitledge , 34 , Lonwsstreet , twenty-one days previous to the expiration of the present plan .

      It was also agreed that in order to prevent any disappointment for the future , tie secretary be furnished with the nani 63 and residence of all lecturers at eatly as possible , so ihat as soon as those ou the plan iiud out that they eannot attend according to the rime ment ' on ^ d , he may be able to supply tbeir places , in order * o carry out which , he must nave a list of persons likeiy to fill up in case of emergency . A discutaea ensied upon the forthcoming Convention , and it was stated that thv sum required for Lancashire was £ 46 10 s . Mr . Staasfibld Baid before they proceeded to nominate a person as delegate , they must know where they were to get tte wages and means from .

      Mr . Haslxh wondered what so much money was for , if they onlv had to sit so shcrs a time . Were they to reoeive ' £ 5 per week ! If so , according to the sta ' e of the people woo tad to pay them their wages would be too high . Mr . LiTTLiiB argued that eo far a 3 raising the money was concerned , he for his part saw no very great difficulty , and believed that if every delegate did nia duty , it would be raised . Ssveral delegates thought it was an i-npropriery in the Executive for calling such a Convention . Mr . Cakelsdge—The Executive was elected by the whole of the members , aid , if they mnst have an Executive , eo far as they acted consistently , and for the general prosperity of the cs"ise , both them and their measures must be supported . Mr . Griffin said that each delegate would receive two pounds per week , their expenses there and back , and to sit four weeks only .

      Mr . Nuttall—The wafe 3 were noi at all what should be taken into consideration . The members of the Convention , when assembled ,- intended to make & 3 great a display as possible-, to rouse the working men of the metropolis ; and , if they would allow him the phrase , to inaie the very stones of toe -street rise ami support the petition , —md likewi se to infuse a determined spirit through the United Kingdom . This , of course , -would be atte ^ lad with great expeuce ; the money must bo raised ; and , for his part , he would do -what be could—they onsrbt " uot to scruple for a moment , but pi immediately to work . Messrs . LiirLBa , Staxsfield , Gr ^ wcott , and Wood pledged themselves that their portion of the expenees should be forthcoming at the appointed time .

      Mr . Wood 6 aid that his district sent betwix thirty and forty pounds to the first Convention They had not been eo weii organised since the 12 il of August , b-. itiie would do afl he could . Mr . Charles Cokhob said the Chartists of Nor »] Lancashire considered themselves a district of them selves ; they weio very poor ; they would selec ; ; member who would be satisfied to represent then in the Gouveution for just what they cou . d sifor- ^ v give Mm . Mr . NrrtALt . rose to bring forward a motion tha a levy of one halfpennv per week should be m ^ d

      upon the members for the next five weeks , whicl was te be understood as the Convention halfpenny . Mr . Hasleh said they had a Church pirson ivl < pre ^ eiued them from collecting money a ; their rooms If thsy had a l ? 5 ture and eh&fgad for admission , b : or some of his &pie 3 were present ; and IF they # o up a tea party , be did all he could to entrap then It was ultimately agreed that a delegate mecun ; should be held on the 18 th of Dc- " < mber , wher . ever delegate would be expected to bring twrpence p-j member , which would be half what eacn memb-j would have to pay , with an understanding ihai : h other half wonlabe forthcoming when wanted .

      Mr . James Leach was put in nomination for t South Lancashire District . Mr . Hxtttxll moved a vote of thanks to X Cartledfefor Ms exertions as secretary . Messn .

      THE EFFECT OF " EARLY , " M IMPRUDENT , " AND "IMPROVIDENT MARRIAGES . " The past week has been one of rejoicing and oongratulation . The "birth of a man child" has threatened , for a time , to allay even the heat of faction . Whigs and Tories hare thrown up their caps together , and their organs hare Tied with each ether in the work of fulsome adulation , and of forgetting the addition which this " auspicious" circumstanoe will , in all certainty , make to the already overpowering burdens of the back-broken people .

      We were admiring the versatility of human nature , and wondering at the praises bestowed upon her Majesty's unusual fecundity , by th « Malthusian theorists—we were considering what the effect npon so evidently ardent a constitution mnst have been , if subjected to Poor Law regulations—we were liyrgnTitiTig cfer the awful ttotAiTa given in another column of our paper from the Times , and in another part of our paper from Mr . Hasmet ; —we were comparing mentally the condition of useful , patiea :, toiling industry , and of its virtuous mate in nature ' s hour of agony , with that , of the gilded

      head of faction ; we were reflecting upon the neverto-be-forgotten speech of Lord Baoooaui f—and we were seeking within the mind for a principle of resignation to the inscrutable decrees of Providence by which such anomalies exist , when oar cogitations were interrupted by the following singular evidence that jaundice has not stained all the spectacles of Englishmen ; that there are yet some prophets in the land who bow not the knee to Baal , and in whose estimation , as in that of on authority much higher , " the rich and the poor do meet together . " This wa 3 to us so refreshing a draught after the

      nauseous repetitions we had been imbibing the whole week , that we cannot choose but give it to our readers even as we got it . Besides wMch we hold ourselves bound to do so , by the old maTiin , audi aluram partcm . It is unfair that amidst the general hubbub ef real and affected ** loyalty" consistency should have no voice . We lore consistency so mach , that we can admire it even in a Malthusian Bachelor , " and we think the following one of the best proofs of it that we have Been for some time : or if not so , it is a hit much too good for us to mis ; . Here , then , it is : —

      Mb . Editob , —I am sick at heart ! grieved beyond the power of expression . The nation has gone mad—absolutely stark staring mad ! The Ministers arc mad , the courtiers are mad , the conductors of the public press are mad , the whole people are mad ! Another Royal Infant has been born into an already too-over-populated world , and every one , forsooth , throws up his cap , and cries hurrah ! Now , Sir , I say this is madness—absolute insanity . If the people had not been demented , they would have seen , in the event wMch has called iorth all this manifestation of joy , and in the marriage which

      has led to that event , evils of the greaiat magnitude ! They would have seen in them pjain , palpable , coudemnable violations of the first rules of population philosophy . They would have seen that the Queen has set an example to the nation which ought not to be followed ; and they would have taken care that she had been ioid that she had acted imprudently and impbovidemly . Ye 3 , Sir , if the nation had not been banded by madness , they would hare seen all this , and the conduct of the people would iiave been jubt . the reverse of that which it has been .

      Has not Malthas demonstrated that the tendency of population is to press hardly upon the means of subsistence I Has he not demonstrated , that while fcod increases only ia an arithmetical ratio , population increases in a geometrical ratio I Has he not demonstrated ihat vre are aow enrsed with a surplus population ! Had he not shown that we press hardly up du the means cf subsistence ! Has he not proved tiu ; there are already too many of us 1 Has he ecs shown the absolute necessity for moxa ! restraint ? Has ho not depicteu the manifold evils arising from early and improvident marriages !

      Has he hc : = hcwn the wickedness and siufuluesa of crowding beings into an already overstocked world 1 Ho 3 he not proved that we have no right to do iliis ! H 23 ha noi shown that if we ihus sin against philosophy , we -war against society , and that society is justified in warring against us ! Has he not demonstrated that for the beings thus thrust upon us , nature has provided no seat at her table ? Has he not shown that we are , in self-defenoe , justified in leaving them to starve ? Has he not shown that it would be a waste of exzzt . s to t-ih , a crust of bread into the mouth of a siarviii K mai ? Has he not

      shown that no young ivoman nss a right to think of being married till she arrive at the age of thirtyfive , aud men at forty 2 Have not other persons who have followed in Malthcs ' b wake , shown the necessity of married people using moral checks to prevent their having o £ > priug : And have they not pointed out the meaus ' . In fine , have not iliiTHrra and his co-workers shown the absolute necessity of checking the breeding of children ; of restrictions , and of prudential considerations ! Have they not developed the whole Fcienoe of population , and established a new school of philosophy ! Yes ,

      in sooth have they ! And th « ir philosophy has taken deep root . No sooner was it propounded , than it commended itself to the conviction of the brightest and best minds of the age . Their propositions commanded assent . Them was no resisting the conclusions so naturally drawn from the premises laid down . The philosophy might run counter to men ' s feelings , but it spoke to their judgments ) and it obtained almost universal assent . Ilavo we not had a Ministry epenly declared adherents of Malihcs ? Have we not seen them introduce a measure into Parliament professedly funded on the principles enunc ated by him 5 Was

      Untitled Article

      not the avowed object of that measure to force the people to live on » coarser sort of food ? in other words , to eke out the Blender supply ^) f food for a redundant population , so as to ensure ta each his fair share of the little we bad to divide ! Did act the measure also provide for tne properponishment of the young and thoughtless girl , who , wfaflimprudeni enough to b * u a haaiard ehilo , by . onBignin /? her and her intruding young one to want

      and-starvation ! And did not the Parliament pass that mea-8 ure founded on these principles , and for these avowed' objects I Most assuredly it did . Could they hive done otterwise ' ^ i ^ the fac ^ Btarin g them in the &ce » th * t f re are so ^' nuinerous ^ n the soil that we are ready ; to eat one ^ notber up ! Would they have been Statesmen or ^ Legislators if they had not taken Borne steps to alleviate the evils arising from redundant population , and to pat some little oheck to the enormous over > breedingt "

      Statesmen and" Legislators , ' then , have given in Ui « radfle « onioMaUhu 3 . HiflprincipJeflWeboeja deemed sound And perfect . . Legislation has been founded and proceeded upon them . .. Another institution has been added to our other ones in Church and State , purposely to carry out those great principles of population philosophy . The Science has been regularly acknowledged , and acted on . Its truth has been established beyond the possibility of doubt .

      This being the ease then , is there any cause for rejoicing in the fact of a young woman marrying almost before she is twenty-one , and giving birth to two children in about twenty months 1 Are we to turn up the whites of our eyes , and thank God tor this . ' Are we to throw of our caps for tMs Ought wa not rather mourn over the sin committed—the suffering occasioned ? Is philosophy to be thus set at nought ! Are its monitions to be thus thoughtlessly disregarded ! No , Sir ! a thousand times no ! and when the faintest gleam of common sense comes over the now-demented people , they will not be slow in telling the Queen what they think of such glaring violations of the precepts of the population philosopher , Malthus . They will speak

      plainly to her , and of her . They will suffer no old musty , antiquated notions of loyalty to step in between them and duty . Loyalty is all very well for operating on the minds of the vulgar . It may be all very well , too , to affect to be loyal , to speak of the Queen ' s sacred person , and treat her as if she was more than mortal , and therefore privileged to do what others would not be allowed to do , in ordinary and common place matters . Bnt philosophy knows nothing of this . The rules of philosophy are general , infinite , and eternal , not particular and mutable . A violation of them is a violation , no matter by whom committed . Philosophy is no respecter of personsknows no caste—attends to no petty personal distinctions . The word loyalty is not once to be found in her whole vocabularly .

      Whenever , therefore , the people come to their senses , they will tell the Queen what they think of an imprudent giddy young girl contracting an early and improvident marriage ; they will ask why she did not exercise her ^ noral restraint ! Why she did not wait till she was thirty'five , before she thought of marrying ! Why Bhe did not look to it , to have a house of her own , and means te support a family , before she placed herself fin a position likely to lead to the bringing of young ones into an eaten-up

      world ? Why she did look to it , that her husband was not penniless , andahirtlesa , and breechesless , and unable to support either himself , or his wife , or the brats he might beget ! Why she did not see to it < that when this early , and improvident , and con demnable marriage was made , they did not use the moral check to prevent their having children until they were able to keep them 1 They will ask ; respecting these things , and many more , as soon as they see the question in its true lixbt .

      Good God , Sir , what an example has the Queen set to her people ! Suppose every young woman in the country was to act as imprudently as she has done , —marry early , have two children in about twenty months after marriage , why , where the Devil should we get to ! 1 ! Whatever would become of us ! Are we not already so overstocked , that , in Liverpool alone , we have to cram 38 , 000 persons , into cellars , and 86 , 400 others into close courts alleys , and ginnels , amidst filth and disease of every kind ! Is not the population so redundant , that we

      are obliged to pack four families in one room ten feet square t Are there not so many of us , that we aro obliged to herd together on the floor on dirty straw , man and woman , girl and boy , young and old , indiscriminately , together ! Is not breeding , too , £ oing on so fast , that as ma : ; y as five births take place in one ! room at the same time , and three of them in one bed , all together ! Has not population pressed so hardly upon the means of subsistence , that there are in your own town 20 , 000 persons living on almost nothing , solely because there is not food enough for them I

      Are not these things so ! Andj will early mar ' riages , with pauper bastards , and two squallers in twenty mouths mend this state of things Common senso gays , No ! Every humane heart says No ! Prudence says No ! Ministers of State say No . Legislators say No ; and Philosophy , trumpettongued , thunders No ! ! O , Sir ! instead of being such fools as we have been , and rejoicing at the evils that have come to

      upon us , ou ^ ht we not rather have wished that Mauccs had been present with his gas' ! Calling upon yon in the name of insulted Malthus ; in the name of outraged PMlosopby , to try to bring the people to their senses , I am , Sir , A heart-sickened Malthusian Bachelor .

      RESULT OF CLASS-LEGISLATION . A heavy pressure on our space compelled us last week to reserve , as matter that would keep , the following awful disclosure of facts , taken from I 7 w Times , and but too well sustained in our present paper by tha corroborative testimony of Mr . Harney ' s letter , and of the poor fellows in the Harborough Union : —

      POOB LAW ATEOCIT 1 E 8 . "It is our disagreeable , but necessary task , to call the marked attention of her Majesty ' s Ministers , and of the public , to the working of the Mew Poor Law in the SeTecoata TTnien . Revolting as the statements are which were made at the Sundridge meeting on Friday last . Eail Stanhep © and the other gentlemen who made them discharge a plain duty , and deserve the thanks of their countrymen for so doing . That such things should be , is disgraceful to the nation which suffers , and to its rulers who maintain them ; but being as they are , and being neither accidents nor abuse , but direct and legitimate results of the system under which they arise , no true Englishman can wish to throw a veil over their deformity .

Her mother applied to the assistant of Mr . Adams , a medieal officer of the Union , living at Hevenoaks , who gave her some pills , bnt declined calling to see her , ' because she was not a pariahoner , and it to out of bis way . - The mother then sent another other children to Mr . Waring , the relieving-cmcer of the Union , for a medical order , but thia was refttsed Mr . Warren saying that 'the girl mwf coma ivia the uwttowe

      . " A few days afterwards the mother applied again to another of the medical officers to attend her , bathe said 'he was ao busy be oouid not * Or Tuesday , the 26 th ult , the girl herself expressed a wli to see Mr . Creaijr , a third medical officer , and her mother accordingly took her in a donky-oart to tne residence cf that gentleman at Brastead . When t got there , ' said the mother , she was worse , and I took her out with some difficulty , and pu t her in . a chair in the surgery . In about ten minutes Mr . Creasy came and asked if I had an onler ? I told him no . He said that he oould not attend to her without an order . That made thethird application for medical assistance without efeci .

      First , as to the men aud women : —On the 22 nd of April last , there were 67 men in 31 beds , and 40 women in 20 beds , in the Sevenoaks workhouse , . On tne 2 ) 5 tli of December last Jive wnnen were confined in ixoo ^ xfo , in the same room , andlUBEB women \ V £ be ACXtJXLLV DKLIVEBED JN A , S / NGtB BED , AT TJJK sake time . Proper attention ; was not paid to them , and one woman haying died in her accouchment ( we know not whether uponi the atue occasion ) , no inquest -was held , and no notice was taken of hqr death , ~ ,. " .. " Then , as to the children : —From the montJu of May to the month of November in last year , the call ,-dren were not properly washed , and , in consequence ,

      itch prevailed in the workhouse to a great extent On the 22 nd of April last there were , in two small rooms ( the one sixteen feet by tweuty-one , and the other sixteen by twenty-seven ) , seventy-five boys sleeping in SIXTEEN BEDS , aud EIOH 1 T-SIX GIRLS IN nineteen beds ; eachbed giving ten inches width on the average to each child . On the 29 th of April , there were in the same Pandemonium seventy-eight boys and ninety-four girls , of whom , all the bops , and ninety-one girls , wore offering under enlarged glands at the back of the seek , and forty-two boys aud sixty-three girla had also swellings in the front and around the neck . Other faeta were mentioned at the meeting , but we content ourselves with these .

      " It is said that this loathsome state of things l ias ceased—that 'the Guardians are now constructing a spacious sleeping-room forthe children , 'Ac . and that the same evils will not happen again upon the return of winter . Dr . DOyiejr , tho Rector of Sondrldge , saw no occasion for inquiry , and would fain have prevented any meeting from being held . We blush to think that any clergyman of the Church of England could have taken such a view of such a case . For . ourselves , we are comparatively indifferent as to what may or may not occur again at Sevenoaks , or in any other given Union ; we even wave the point ( though as clear as daylight ) , that if the poor were not unjustly debarred from relief , no attainable amount of workhouse accommodation could prevent the constant recurrence of these evils under the operation of the prohibitory order , especially

      in those vast unions which the Commissioners are so fond of forming . It ia enough for us and for the public to know tkat anfihjthings have been ; that the workhouse test has been deliberately persevered in under such circumstances , and In spite of such results . We charge upon the Poor Law Commissioners and their system the entire and unmitigated responsibility for this man of abomination . Here is a case proved , In -which they and their agents have ( mated Lu-ga number * of the English poor worse than swine or cattle , rather than suffer them to receive relief at tbeir homes . Will Sir Robert Peel continue to place confidence in the men who have done tola thing ? Shall a principle , which those who understand it best carry out to such extremities of oppression , be persevered in , merely because a Whig Secretary of State thinks his consistency committed to it ?

      The Editor of the Times thinks comment on theee atrocious facts "altogether needless . " We dissent from this opinion . We think they furnish much room for comment , and that they are themselves a most emphatic comment on thevillanous system of society under which alone they could exist . It is all well for papers liko the Times to deplore these blotches on the surface of the body politic ; but we warn the people , as we have done a thousand times , that till the blood is cleansed , the leprosy will never heal . A Tory Government may , at the bidding of its friends , ameliorate , in some degree , this fretting

      ulcer , or it may net : we doubt its power or its will to do bo . But if it do , the foul virus which produced it , still operating on the system , will destroy its health , ita energy , its life . The only cleansing medicine is that principle of legislation which regards the rights of all—a principle by which no faction can be actuated—which no faction over contemplates , and on which no general system ever will be founded till the people "take their own affairB into their own hands , " make their own laws , and so conserve their own interests , and protect their own rights .

      MORE ARTIFICES OF THE " PLAGUE . " The Plague men are most indefatigable in their vocation . Finding their plan of public meetings and pet l ecturers to be quite untenable against the talent and good sense of the experienced working men , they now hope to accomplish their purposes of mischief by " palavering" the young and inexperienced . The present " dodge" is Young Men ' s Anti-Monopoly Associations , " which are being assiduously established in all large towns . A copy of the rules of one of these societies , and of the [ address of their " General Council and Executive Committee , " now lie before uh .

      Seo the homage which , under all circumstances , vice pays to virtue ! The very terms in which to disguise their fraudfal project are borrowed from the Chartist organisation . Thtir address , too , is of the most wily and insinuating character . The object is , no doubt , to seduce young men into an attendance upon their packed and exclusive meetings , where their inexperience may be practiced on by the studied sophistries of the " plague" advocates . AU vice , howevory contains within itself the seeds of dissolution ; and so does this form of the " plague . " It addresses itself especially to the poor in the following terms : —

      " By the term monopolies , we mean those laws which deny to us the liberty of frequenting the cheapest market for the supply of our wants , and of exercising our industry in the most profitable manner . The reform we straggle for is purely economical—we trench neither on political or religious controversy—but we offer the hand of fellowship toall , regardless of sect and party , who trill assist us in procuring the immediate abolition of all restrictions upon industry . "

      Here , then , ia a fair invitation to the Chartists to attend the meetings of the Young Men ' s Anti-Monopoly Sooiety ; and we advise them by all meps to do bo . ** The abolition of all monopolies" is the very thing we want . And as the greatest evil should be first removed , the monopoly of legislation , whence all other monopolies spring , wi ll , of course , receive the first attention of the " Young Men ' s Anti-Monopoly Societies . "

      The first rule of the Sooiety states its object to be :- -. -. . .. . ¦ . . . . .. ., V . . .. . .. "To assist in obtaining the entire abolition of all Monopolies , by every legal and constitutional means , such 03 the promotion of similar societies in other towns , the delivery of Lectures , the holding of Discus sions , and the distribution of Tract * .

      •• WAYS AND MEANS *" Evibt week furnishes new and more eonvincing evidence of the rapid spread of Chartist Principles throughout the whole land . The people an beginning to be everywhere awake to their true iBterests , and the abnosk uniyersal outcry for Lecturers and Missionaries , proves at once , tiieawakening energies of the people , the invaluable character of the serriees rendered to the cause by those nsefal'lunetioriaries , and the efficiency of our national organisation vrhieh wisely eoneentrates the national energies in the Executive as a head .

      Tne chief difficulty seems to be how tbe Executive are to meet the various demands opoa them for Missionary labour I The employment " of LecturerB and Missionaries necessarily requires Targe funds j while the condition of the people is such , as to preclude ^ any reason able hqpe of extraordinary pecuniary adTanoea b < eiiaK naade , by them . Direct contributions , however small , take so much from the scanty means which are- in many instances , already too little to support life . We have always been desirous to avoid direct contribution where , ¦ practicable ; and it is always in the power of the people to render it unnecessary . They need

      but that to which we have bo often pointed as indispensible to their success in anything—unity of purpose and operation—to make their own hands the means of ministering to their own wants in this particular , without at all infringing on the means of physical support which tyranny has left them . We hare now before ns several plans for accomplishing this desirable object—ef providing the Executive with funds sufficient for the effective carrying on of tbe work without burdening the people . One correspondent proposes that joint stock stores be opened in every town , and that the Executive Bhall be the trustees of these stores , and the profits applied under their direction to the spread of Chartism ; instead of going , as they now do , to the upholding of the factions . This system , if universally acted on , would

      be effective , not merely for the support of the Executive , but eventually for the utter prostration of the money monster which the teats of industry have nourished till it has sucked ithe very life ' s blood from its dam . But there are difficulties in the way of its general adoption which we fear are not likely to be immediately surmounted . The simplest and most feasible of all the schemes that we have seen for supporting the Executive efficiently and ; easily , is that of Mr . RodBB Pindeb , propounded in a letter recently published by him in the Star , in which he offers to provide the people with an article of necessary and universal consumption , at a prise as low , and of a quality as good , as any they can have elsewhere , and to give to the Executive one-twelfth part of his receipts .

      We hare a second letter from this honest and good Chartist , whioh has been lying by us several weeks for insertion , a t i to which we have great pleasure in now calling tha attention of the Chartist public generally . , " Mr . Editor , —! must beg permission again to call the atti-ntiou of my Chartist friends to the letter you published fon .-se last week bnt one . I have since then mademinuto enquiries as to the price of the materiala in large quantities ; and I find them much cheaper than I expected . I feel now certain that I can supply as good blacking as can be manufactured , at a price as low as any in the market , and give the Executive one penny out of every shilling of the price , or one clear twelfth of my receipts .

      " I can do this because I do It for the purpose of rendering thereby a help to the good cause ; and not for the mt-re purpose of making a living . Thank God ! I can mnke a living by my own labour . But my labour , though better paid than that of many thousands , will not enable me to give much money out of its proceeds for any purpose but that of the bare necessaries of life for my family . " If this , then , be my condition , what must needs be that of those who have larger families and less wages than even I have ? It is clear that they must be still less able to contribute ; and hence the necessity of some mode being had recourse to of supporting our Executive in their

      noble - « rotk of national regeneration -without increasing the direct burdens of the ^ aople ; and this , I apprehend , my plan will do , if I be properly supported . There Is no decent family that does not use more or less of blacking . And if we take the average at one halfpenny for a week , and suppose agents to be generally supplied through England and Scotland , thia very small demand from 60 , 000 families would leave a handsome sum for the Executive . Thirty thousand pence returned to . me by the agents , would entitle the Executive to a clear revenue of £ 10 Ss . 4 d . weekly ; a sum nearly sufficient for the remuneration of seven Chartist lecturers at . thiny shillings each : while 1 engage to allow all the vendors a profit equal to the average of tbe trade , and to pay the carriage in all cases to any part of England or Scotland . This being considered , I see no reason why

      it should not meet with a demand much greater than tuat which I have here supposed . By the exertions of good Chartists it might be introduced among general shopkeepers , ( as I will-warrant it a good article and cheap , } and thus 6 V 6 U our enemies , the factions , might be made in some degree accessory to the supply of our munitions of moral w&i fare . Many good Chartists would no doubt be glad to take the trouble of selling it , and give the retail profit to the association in their respective localities , on the same principle as I am willing to give the wholesale profit to the Executive . Altogether , Mr . Editor , I do think it a mode of help to which no objection can be fairly offered ; because to-whatever amount I may thus be enabled to help the Executive , it is sa much clear profit , for which no one suffers anything .

      " AU then that la wanted , is a number of Chartists In different localities , willing to give the matter a trial by becoming agents , and sending me their orders , accompanied by cash , sending at the same time a copy of each order to the general Secretary ; that ho may keep a check npon me , and be able to know that tho Executive do get their pennies . " Trusting , Sir , that the Chartist public will give the matter ita due weight asd consideration , "lam , " Yours in the good cause , . " Roger Pindeb . " 5 , Weatherills Place , " Carr Lane , HulL "

      We hare no hesitation in saying that if Mr . Pinobb be prepared to verify all the pledges of his letters , this matter of consumption is of itself able to support the Executive well and efficiently if properly taken up by the people . The writer is surely not extravagant in estimating the average consumption at a halfpenny weekly . Many parties mart consume considerably more ; and we See no reason as there is to be no cost of carriage to , the agent , why a million of purchasers should not be found every week ; and if a million of halfpennies ^ were paid in to Mr . Pindkb . every week , the Executive would be eatUlod out « f that toagrosa inoomeof £ 17312 a . 2 d ; Enough to supply lecturers , missionaries , and tracts , for all England , Scotland , and Wales . How easy a thing is it for united numbera to accomplish great objects !

      Chartist Churches . —A etrrespondent unites vs that the Christian Chartut Church atGreenock is thriving well . We are glad ' to Hear it , but cannot insert his letter : duqttisitims on tht nature , eharticier ' i and duration of hell ' s tormentt are quite beyond the province of tito-Korih ' eri Star .

About these there canpe nomistaka , The object of Chartist churches , if toe understani them at all , Ht'two-fold z -first , to prmxie terntA

      wherein the Chartist may find those prineipks 4 government and society which'he * believes- to it the principles of truth and of the Bible acknovo hedged by his priest ; and wherei therefore , hit understanding shall not be ^ insulted , nor his degrc , dation mocked , in a manner which is but too com man amongstboth * established ? and "dissenting * ministers ; and , secondly , to form a practical exhibition , as far as our maps gb * gf that system of ** exclusive dealing" which is n& Jess potent when applied to the pews of the parson . than when applied to the till of the shopkeeper . All Chartists who are , Chrisiiahsaffr& that the principles of Chartism are those of Christianity—that they form the practical exhibition and developement of tha

      grand law of love on which the lard has declarti the whole law and the prophets to hang : Henct ^ therefore , on the inculcation of those principla they can all agree ; but the introduction tf speculative matters of doctrine can serve only k split us up into sections of Methodist Charlittt , Calmnisi Chartists , and so on ad infinitum . Our Greenockfriend does not seem to bear mfficieniii in mind the difference between aChartist minister , and a minister who is a Chartist . We should k most happy to hear of all the ministers of religion in the country behomngChartists , nor imuld any minister of Chartism be a wit the less orthodu because as a Calviniat in religion he preached u election" and " reprobation , " or because at at

      universal reatorationist he denounced as unscrntural the doctrine of eternal punishments . 6 * all such matters of speculation Chartists mi di ff er in opinion . On all such matters of spec lation a Chartist may agree in opinion with a raving Tory or a rampant Whig , from who * k endures the most bitter indignities and persecu tions ; but on the practical doctrines of Chii * tianity , in their political and social phases , Cfurlists can agree with nobody but themselves . 7 by hold all ' other doctrines upon these matters kt those of Chartism to be unscriptural and mli-Christian . And hence the necessity for Chartid churches , in which they can worship God withnt having their feelings outraged . Hence , too , tht

      necessxty of keeping those churches elear of all matters of doctrinal discussion which may fyturb the " unity of the spirit and the bond d peace , ' by which as brethren they should $$ holden together . It seems clear to us , there / on , that the only "articles of faith" which can wm the slightest degree of propriety or consistency be acknowledged as generally binding on the members of a Christian Chartist Church should be the divinity of the Lord and of the Holy Scripturtt , and the principles of Chartism as taught in tlm Scriptures . On every other matter , event turnher should be at perfect liberty to hold his en doctrines and opinions , whether Methodist , Colvinist , Quaker , Ranter , Jumper , or Roller . We

      are aware that even these tests ef faith shut ml all , however good Chartists they may be , vhe reject religion in toto . But these suffer no vma thereby ; because the very fact of their rejecting Christianity frees them from the circumstances qf annoyance and injustice which make the Chartiit " church" necessary . The Christian Ghmtte feels it to be bis duty to worship God-a duty which he neither can nor dare omit ; there u no church in which he can do so \ withcamfarL and without liability to insult , or injustice , » both : hence he requires and needs a Chartist church : the infidel Chartist does not affect to worship at all—he therefore neither requires vtr feels the need of any church in which to uwiiipi
