      jit i * ab FeiesdSj—I think I hare good news , — grand news—great news—for yon , this week . As you fcaoTF all that is going on , yon are 8 W * re that a vast g-= rarin of locusts , lay and clerical , hare gathered together in this great Metropolis , calling themselves a ' Ccrn Law Conference . More than ore hhousasd t jnst think of that I—all congregated to devour the proceeds of the Manchester Bazaar show . Well , ikeyspei * * whole week , holding ticket meetings , dealing in the most outrageous and inflammatory laTi ^ uage , and laying their plans for the campaign , which opened this day .

      To-day they resolved npon an attack on the good people of the Borongb . of Sonthwark . Two hundred and twenty-eight inhabitant householders presented a requisition to the excellent High Bailiff , to con-Tene a meeting , at the Town Ball , Soufchwark . The two Members , and several great guns from the League , were announced as speakers ; and , haviBg pledged my word to the good men of Chelsea that I would meet the League , npon the Tery first opportunity , I also determined to be present . Well , at one o ' clock , the hour appoiated , the Town Hall was crammed to suffocation ,

      not one-fifth of the applicants being able to procure xdmu ^ on : an adjournment was moved and carried to an immense warehouse , -whither we adpnrned . The High Bailiff , in virtue of his office , took the chsir ; and as , of course , yon will see a report of the piK * ftd 5 ng 3 , 1 need not enter mere fully into the deiails than to say , that it was the first open meeti ; r of the Plague since they have infested the capital , and that we beat them twenty to one , the Kar . oaal Petition being proposed as an amendment to a humbug petition against Sir Robert Peel ' s humbug measure . Two of the middle class men moved and seconded their petition ; and two working men , ncthing daunted by the pampons array of

      eonnciimen in robes , bearing white wand ? , gallantly moved , and ably supported the amendment . Eainsley moved , and Parker Ecconded the amendment ; and Biackmore and I supported it with all our jnighi and main , and it was carried by a majority of twenty to one , amid the greatest applause lever heard ; and this in London , too ! where the Rev . Mr . Spencer says the working men are not to be trusted , because they are so fond of show . Never in bj He shall I forget ihe countenances and exultation of ihe "fustian jackets , " as "we marched in procession from the place of meeting . It was the first attempt of the League in London , and they experienced a most -woful defeat .

      2 iow , yon sh » n hear of some of their prarfa since iky arrived in town . They fiave been bellowing liberality like bulls ; bnt , npsn the veritable delepies of the people of Lambeth , appointed at a public jnsetiag , presenting themselves , they were told thai , according to THEIR rules , no delegate elected at a meeting tchere Chartist resolutions icere passed could is acknevcledged as a delegate to the Conference . Now , the Lambeth deegate 3 were ihe only delegates who were fairly or legally thosen , and carious to say they were the cnly ones who vrere rejected . Ah ! their complexion didn't

      mit the Plague . However , they twaddled avray ibcu : cheap bread for a whole week , and on . Friday last , Mr . Sturge the quaker ' , inviied some friends to met him in ihe hepeeshmekt boom of the Crown and Anchor , for the purpose of considering what he calls entire cr complete sttfrage , which is a iprzt to catch a mackerel . Messrs . Lovett , Heferirgtoa , and oiher 3 were there on Tors past , and contended for the NAME of the Charter , and iad no doubt that the people's friends would con ? ent to a revision of ihe details , if trie pr ; sen > details TEre objectionable . A Mr . Tannton , of Coventry , was the oily man who spoke out at the conference , lad insisted upon the people ' s right to the fullest measure of representation . Brougham , Sturge ,

      Hume , and some of our London friends of the order tf working men who never work , are attempting t j try another " artful dodge" to gull the fiats , but they ¦ ill find themselves egre >; ioa 5 iy mistaken . Now , Bark what arranging details mean . The firct Hsforza Parliament met to arrange thB details of that jneasire , and ? it was the most bloody Parliament of which history-makes mention . Thay arranged the ietails , by giving Ireland coercion and England starvation ! by making you pay £ 20 , 600 , 000 sterling 1 st tha Emancipation of tha Negroes ! and by defying the right of petition ! So they commenced , while they ended with a Rural Police , gaols full of working men , political offenders , war raging all its-the world , and an empty Exchequer .

      Vaxt they now propose is to adopt or to promise toadopi Universal Suffrage , and to allow ihe first iiaiiment , elected by Universal Suffrage to arrange & details , as they call the other points , Now , I beg t £ jou to bear in mind , that a Parliament bo chosen it arrange the details , must consist of members for eomties having £ 500 ; and members for towns and boroughs having £ 300 a year property ; and give me Isare to ask you if a house of such representatives TTDnld not still be the organ of their class 1 Then flay are to have seven years lease of it , and instead of being paid , to pay themselves ! G&rtists , m » ik our progress .

      Tweive months ago , they tried us witb Boosaold Suffrage . We held out against the ddcaoa ; and now even the deluded would laugh at tin mention of eo mean a measure . I should look npsa i House of Commons returned by Universal Suffrage , without the other point 3 of the Charter & 3 a mockery—as worse than nothing—as a bad * £ noa of the worst sort of fllass legislation . Ve aie approaching to dangerous times , as I predicted the week before last- Bussell's speech is » Bnuiftsi faeler for a coalition with Peel , rather than tbe whole hog with the total repealers . That we tan stand and beat . But , again , the new move , with an augmentation of force , is in the field Brougham , Stnrge , and Hume are the strings : the

      old offenders are the puppets . Sturge has been to Scoihud to indnce the good men of Glasgow to get yrw T .-gmTrpg . gjxft npon this point I shall ba piaia—very plain . Large sums of money have b % a devoted to the purpose of seduction . Sundered , Leeester , Sheffield , and Birmingham are to bs the four grand points of attack . We "iff beat them . And U 3 to getting rid ol the old leaders , let us perfectly understand eaeh e&er . As far as regards myself and my position , if jossre for any less measure than all contained in fte People ' s Charter , say so , and let us part friends . I da ]] return to my plough and my profession , and * i& a clear conscience say , that I h . 3 ve left the P ^ ple beiter than I found them . I never will

      ^ i with you—jou shall not quarrel with me . Ttiai God , 1 © we you nothing but gratitude , which J ° a will have forfeited shonld you swerve from the carter . For nine years and upwards I have been * s » ngst you : and now I tell you on my oath , that I win not go one inch with yon for any measure sattt of the whole Charter ; and I tell you more , list we cancirry it , as easily as carry a repeal of * k * Corn Laws . You have many a time and oft ^ e a strangle for liberty , but never such a one as

      • re are now engaged in . If the repealers arc ¦* a tra ; a sincere , let them oome foiward and ay so , aad I stake my existence thai in six wrecks we drive the Tories from effice ; and all wo * = k j ( as a dissolution must take place , ) is to send thirty out-and-out Chartists into the Home when Ite details are to be arranged . There mast be a dissolution before the Charter can be carried . A junction of the Chardsts and Repealers will at once insure tbat dissolution . Both measures would then be

      * rried out of doors ; and it would depend upon fee ionesty , courage , and jadgment of the Chartist Naders whether or not the impression should be fet upon the new House . l * t me—although I have frequently mentioned ^« fact 3 in speeches—point out to you a few diking features in your present position . At no Sb » in the history of this country was there ever ^ Binch money—so much money ' s worth in houses

      ** tiunery , shipping , railways , minh > g companies , W produce , as there is in England now . If the ** ericans required ten millions to speculate in ^ 2 wajs « anything else , English money would be * Ql& in abundance . If the infernal devil , the French fcaat , Louis , required ten millions to shut up Paris , ^ English iibeeals wculd at once make the loan , ^ et , Etart any speculation , any where , zkd money *» J be had from Ecgland . This , upon tbe one hand , ^ fle never was there so much poverty en the other

      Untitled Article

      hand . The few of the represented order having all the monev , and the manj of the unrepresented bemg starving . ' thus when poverty strikes under class legislation it strikes the unrepresented class only . Then tern to America , there the United States treasury ^ has failed , become bankrupt , and who are the first to suffer ! Why the representatives of the people , who we are informed are in a most wretched and miserable condition for want of their salaries , while the people are not at all affected ! Now treasure that up . In England there never was so much money , and so much poverty ; the unrepresented -starving , and the represented tiring invention to find an outlay for capital , and a means for its investment-While in America the representatives are starving , and thepeoplc are not . Now is it not plain that if 5 out representatives were yonr servants , instead of being your masters , and if their salaries depended upon your ability to pay them , that they would look sharply after your comfort and means ?

      Now suppose to-morrow , that the world required one hundred times the present amount of British manufactures , what would be the result ? Ah augmentation of-machinery to produce two hundred times the required amount , and that machinery made with a due observance of the self-acting principle ; the cheapness of the produce rendering it impossible for the speculating gambler to employ much taanual labour , as if he did he ceuld not undersell the foreign slave in his own matket .

      Now , again , how does it happen , that ourlibsrtymongers who bawl out so lomi ] y for two minion additional quarters of corn , amounting , say , in all , to fcur millions sterling per annual;—how happens it , that these reformers never tell us one word about the churcli receiving annually ten millliois , which would purchase five million quarters of corn ? Kow happens it that they never tell ns that one lady receives annually as much as would purchase oneeighth parfc of all the foreign corn required to reduce what England grows to the abundant standard , that is as much a ? would purchase 230 , 000 quarters of

      wheat ; and of course her consumption is taken into Dr . Bovrriug ' s average of the general consumption . Now if the Prussian and Eagh ' sh averages » vere fairly struck as to consumption per head , we should first deduct -wbat the idle cormorants consume ; for mark , Russell ; Bowring , and Co ., make the Queen and her iail stand each as an " operative . " How happens it that we never hear of pensions , army , navy , judges , law appointments , and the funds ? I will tell ; on ; beca "» 53 they merely seek a transfer of the patronage and disposal of those tning 3 from the hands of the Tories , to the hands of tha Whi ? 3 .

      Now , allowing your annual consumption of corn to be fifteen millions of quari ^ rs , the church , the Qaeen , the army and navy receive among them more than would pay for all ! This is not saying a word about the other expenses ; they are only some of the items . The faudlords receive as much as would pay for ail ; and the professions , police , tax-eaters , Poor Law devils and that tribe , receive as much aa woulu pay for all ; while in local taxation , expensive h ' tigatioD , and abuses of all kinds , the people p 3 y as much -S 3 would pay for double the amonnt ; aud all this for want of the one little thing called the Charter .

      Now , reiy upon -what I tell you , and it is this . Celled tie wheli of the agitators fora repeal of the Cera Law 3 together , to-morrow , and offer them their measure upon condition that they thould grant yours , and they would rather see a duty of five pounds imposed upon foreign , corn than grant you the Charter , becauss it snaps tlie cord which binds labour to capital . Beliere me , that machinery as now regulated is man's great , enemy , and that the owners of that property will run you to revolution before they will give you any controlling power over it , if they can help it . In this state of things it is our duty , as it is our interest , to join with , the League , if thej place the Charter and repeal of the Corn Law noon their banners . The Charter as the x ? la . xs

      and she . Repeal as-one of the moss immediate results It will then depend upon tbe integrity of the Chartist leaders , and npon the watchfulness and courage of the people themselves , whether or no tbe term 3 of the treaty shall be infringed . If they are Bincere , they cannot object to tho ? e terms , which we have long since " offered them . If , upon the other hand , they are not sincere , would we not be worse than madmen ,, to join in an agitation the most beneficial result from which would be to make the rich richer and the p . ; or poorer .

      The straggle is now between Toryism and Chartism , and I a 3 k yon unaffectedly to read my every letter upon this subject , which I wrote from York Castle ; and Eay , have I not predicted the exact state of things which now exists 1 Again , I abk you what you have to expect from Lord John Russell , for hurling whom from office we were deneunced , while he and his own former j » arty are now more opposed to each other * than Peel and Russell are 3

      More good has been done by tbe glorious meeting at Sauthwark than has yet been effected , and I "will tell you how . It w&s most pompously paraded by the Whig press . Ail importance was attached to it . It was tie first stcempfc of the'Conference at a fre « meeting , We had scores of reporters . The proceedings were very long , and jet ihe mouth-piece of the League , the Morning Chronicle , disposes of the whole in a few lines , and every line a rank

      lie . Now , this has taught all the workiDg men who read of the great Corn Law demonstrations in the Chronicle coming from the province ? , to look upon the stuff as mere fabrication . The Chronicle report says thsf -my . stentorian voice was sometimes h . aid through the din— -while I was not once interrupted . The ChrGrcicle ' s report 615 s that their reporter could neither see or lieat the High Bailiff , but TT 7 ir ! er 5 rsTid- ; that he declared the amendment

      carried ; while every man in the room heard the announcement , and if the reporter had eyes he mnsi have seen that the amendment was carried by a majority of at least twenty to ore . The other partizan parers sdy by a small majority ; but if tzey had sne ^ a one it -sroiild have been slaost unanimous . The Chronicle says that three cheers were called foT me , and that three groaus were called for for me by the League , but that the cheers had it . This is

      sheer fabricanon , not a mouth uttered the word groan . The faci is ,. the League had other resolutions to propose , together with an address to the Queen , to di £ E : sa her present MJniftcrs , ¦ but npon the aiaioacceinent of the truly honourable High Bailiff , who his ever stood the undaunied friend of the people , and always acted as an upright and honest Chairman , the faction bnnd-ed up their traps , and scuttled off , preceded bj a lot of office-bearers and

      their memDer =. On Tuesday morning a deputation from Sonthwaik vraiied upon Ee , to say that the excitement of Monday evening was nsver equalled in South-¦ rrark , and " that twenty of the middle class had joined U 5 , now convinced of our honesty and our power to carry oar obj ? c £ . This is Wednesday , and this evening I go to Rotherhithe , about two miles from Southwark , but yet a part of London , to address the people of that locality-On Friday the League puts out all its . force in Birmingham , 3 nd there I go , resolved to stand by my party to the last , and to judge of public opinion for myself .

      On Monday , I snail be in Nottingham ; on Tuesday , in Derby ; and on Wednesday , at Loughborcugh ; on Thursday , Friday , and Saturday , 1 shall-again , be in . the metropolis ; and now let me tell you that to part of England , notwithstanding the insolent aspersion of Parson Spencer , is better up to the mark than London . For many years the spirit there was broken and kept down by a parcel of jobbing pamots , sni the people would never come out . Now their work is done for nothing , and with the

      Untitled Article

      trades they are in ahigh condition , "at Ieasfc , I have the most perfect confidence in them , and feel assured that the " Great National ' will be most numerously signed . I must say all that I have to say in this letter . I have now before me some hundreds of letters , all asking me to go to different parts of the country . I don't want to have any secrets . The fact is this , no pr 6 p * erty would stand the expense to which compliance with all would subject me . Since I left York I have expended

      more than wonld have maintained me comfortably for three years ; and as I never will take one farthing for my poor services , those . kind friends whose invilations I cannot accept will / 1 am sure , receive my excuse as a justifiable reason for my noncompliance . I have also received more letters in a day than I could answer in a month . I also learn that heaven and earth is being moved , openly and secretly , to get rid of Feaegus ; and to this I answer—give the people their Charter , and never again shall you hear of Feargus ; but , till then , I will beat down all opposition .

      JEhs Convention will shortly meet ; Dr . M'Douall and I have Eucceeded ^ in procuring a most admirable place to hold our meetings , and I pledge ' myself that those delegates who have visited London before , will not know it now , so powerful and great has become the agitation for th 6 Charter . You must read the whole libt of names of those assembled in Mr . Siurge ' s refreshment room to arrange the details of the Charter . Read them all , and then say are they to be our new

      leaders for the Charter . Working men , Etaud by YOUR CHARTER AND YOUR ORDER . No flinching ! and the middle men mast join you , and then it will be our duty to take care the union shall be one of principle , and not one of compromise or expediency . They say get us a repeal of the Corn Laws , and then we will talk to you about the Charter ; while I say give us the Charter , and we won ' t have many words about removing every restriction which now trammels trade .

      Chartists ^—sow oa nevek— now and for ever —O . TOARD ASD WB CONQUER , BACKWABD AND WE fall—NO SURRENDER . See how we have brought them to ua by standing fast ; budge a hair ' s-breadth and we are gone for ever . Move the Charter everywhere as an amendment , and give them no assistance any where , till they place that one word , CHARTER , on their banners , and then FAREWELL TORYISM AND FOR EVER . Ever , your faithful Friend and Servant , Feargus O'Connor . London , Wednesday .

      P . S . Those persons who have written to know what they shall do with tho subscriptions raised for Dr . M'Douall may inclose them , under cover , to me , to the care of Mr . John Cleave , 1 , Shoe-lane , Fleeislrcet , London . F . O'C .

      THE EXECUTIVE AT BATH . On Tuesday afternoon the Chartists of this city were favoured with the presence of the Executive at a social te * meeting , 3 , Galloway Buildings , after which a meeting was held in Salisbury ' s Room , Kiug ' s Mead-square . The Executive , on presenting themselves to the meeting , were loudly and repeatedly cheered . Mr . Alderman Chisp was unanimously called to the chair , -He ^ . said ^ J $ j £ jMM ! 9 l ^« BMvmr-t « speak hesndcld * De brief . The people had no proper representation of their interests in the present Hou ? e of Commons , which treated them as badly as did the Parliament under the old

      boroughmonj ; ering system . ( Hear , hear . ) Parties were dominant in that house , and it mattered not to tho people what party were in power , for it was clear that neither Whigs nor Tories would strive to better tho condition of tho country . If ever a salutary chaDge were effected , it would be but by the unity , by tho unanimous voice of the people themselves . ( Cheers . ) They were now evincing a full determination to enjoy the fruits of their own industry , of which they bad been so UDjuBtly and foully deprived . Tb . 9 people of this country had endured great sufferings for a Iong 6 eries of y € ars , unt » l at length the distress bad awakened attention in the minds of the middle classes , who , in a great measure participated in that di-tress . Let the people become nnik ; d , and they wonld soon obtain a repeal of all

      those laws which deprived them of the reward for their deserving toil . The present Ministry were determined to resort to strong means to keep themselves in power ; but it was only for the people to become united , and to ask freely and firmly for what they desired , and they wohW ultimately obtain it . The middle men would be compelled to join the working classes—( hear , hear . ) Every town in England would soon become a rallying point for the Charter —( cheers . ) We were to place ourselves in a watchful position , for circumstances would arise of such a nature as to enable us to obtain the Charter with comparative ease—( cheers)—and by moral means . Injustice must fall before the united voice of the people . The worthy Alderman sat down amid great applanee .

      Mr . J . Cahpbell rose to address the meeting , and was enthusiastically received . Ho said he had just read the -Daily Sun , by which he learned that tae ant i-Corn Law League , under the auspice 3 of of Mr . Sturge , had met to consider the question of the Suffrage ; one portion of them were going for this sort of Suffrage , and another for that ; but he hoped tbe Charter was the only Suffrage the working clashes would go for—( cheers . ) The Charter was either just or unjust . If just , why did the League fight so shy about it 1 Why did they not join the Chartist ranks at once ? Because we were too honest for them—( hear , hear . ) And because we had been honest , and had not joined them for the purpose of obtaining that or this paltry measure of

      Reform , they accused us of attempting to injure the cause of Reform . But we had defied them all—( cheers ) He was a plain man , and must say that he would unite with the Devil to obtain justice—( cheers , and cries of " Well done ! " ) He knew how the middle classes had before deceived us ; he had no confidence in them , for they were not to bu trusted—at least , such was his opinion . ( Hear , hear . ) They were coming over to us , and he would advise the people to be cautious how they united with such men— ( loud criea of " hear , hear ")—the Chartists should put them in the political waggon and oblige them to pull , while we pushed them onwards—( cheers . ) Some time ago they would net unite with ua at all , though they

      always called us a very intelligent set of iellows when they required our services , but when we asked for the Suffrage , they never failed to represent us as too ignorant to be entrusted with it . The middle classes got the Whig 3 to commit bad acts , and because the Whigs would not serve their base purpose , they ( tho middle classes ) sent the Tories into office—( laughter)—to commit worse acts . The people should not delude themselves , —the ? should bear in mind that " God helps them who help themselves " —( hear . ) He hoped that every person before him was a member of the National Charter Association . It had not been in existence more than fourteen months , and yet it had extended to upwards of 300 towns— ( cheers . ) When working men bad inquired how it was that the wealth they had produced bad been distributed , they would discover the cause of the present wretchedness ; and they would find that

      millions had been wrong from their industry to pamper the idle aristocracy , who were wallowing in luxury , while they ( she working classes ) were starving—( hear , hear . ) Those who had political power took care of their interests , but made no laws to protect honest industry . They e&id we were ignorant , and talked much about the crime and immorality of the people . Who made the people ignorant , if they are ignorant ! The Tories , who rob us—( cheers . ) He contended that it was impossible for men to be moral under the present state of things —( hear , hear , hear . ) The system must be changed —( cheers . ) We wanted to obtain justice for all . The Tories had become Conservatives ; and the Whigs Reformers—( hear)—and every Reformer considered himself the best Reformer . The people ' s efforts must not be diverted from the Chartist 8 trugg 7 > o ; let us stick constantly to the Charter .

      Mr .. Leach now cameforward to address the meeting ; he was hailed with loud cheering-, He -00-ser r , ed that tho Chairman had said that the middle-&' * LSse 3 were about to join ua , and that such was ms o * vn belief . He had asked one of thai class why

      Untitled Article

      they were going to do so ; and the middle class man said it was because they could not help it!—( cheers . ) They had found out that the eonntry wart anything but prosperous , that it was reduced to that stats of distress and misery , that they must now feel for their own Eakes , and that unless some salutary change was speedily effected , they would be involved in ihe ruin that would generally ensue—( hear , heari hear . ) There was » subject which he that night would speak on—it was the repeal of the Corn Laws . It was said that if we could obtain that measure , we should have a great deal better times . He roally believed eo himself , bnt he greatly questioned : much whether the working classes , under present ciroumstances , would bo much benefited bv such a

      measure . He would now speak in reference ^ to our manufacturing industry ; and he believed that the state in which it was placed would not be remedied but by measures of a more svyeeping nature , measures which he knew would not be carried into effect so long as the working classes were without political power . Why had he como ; to such a conclusion ? Because he found that the other classes of society strove to doprive labour of its just reward ^ and to reduce to misery tho generality of those who ought to ba : batter treated ; for it waa they who had reared the splendid edifices that adorned the land—( loud cheers . ) He had in his possession a letter addressed to Sir Robert on the subject of machinery ; which letter ' eot forth

      that one ^ aiachine , on being put into operation , which was dono every week , could cast off 16 , 000 pieces . Now , the repealer ^ through the medium of their press , and at public meetings , said if : they could obtain the repeal of the Corn Laws , they should be able to set to work those whose labour had been thus superseded . The machine that cast off these 16 , 000 pieces , only employed ten men and ten boys , lhat was a fact that convinced him that the master manufacturers wanted to restrict labour at home , aud to barter with slave labour abroad—( hear . ) He next went on to show the cause of machines being brought inta such general use , the cause was in the necessity the masters wore under to keep ground in llie markets . Mn Cobden

      was a great man , and would complete an order now —which onco took 300 men twelve months to complete—with only twenty men , in three weeks . One Saturday evening he discharged seventy men ; aud yet he was . declaring that if the Corn Laws were repealed , he \ vould find employment for those who were wandering the streets in a state of starvation . Ho talked much about his refinedsympathy for the distress of those poor creatures whom the accursed system that upheld him had reduced to this frightful state —( Hear , kear . ) The peoplo of Bath did not suffer so much a 3 did those of tho North of England , where thero were 5 , 000 men working 5 ^ 000 spin dies eighty two years ago ; for then one man worked but one epindle ; the same work could now be done

      by twenty hands . The machines did riot want food , and unless human beings could produce goods so cheap as could iron and wood , they must starve ; and thus would it continue until the working classes were in the possession of political power—( cheers . ) There were 5 , 000 laws in existence that would rob us of tho benefits that some suppose would accrue from Corn Law repeal . The letter he had alluded to asked Sir Robert Peel whether the distressed weavers were to have their wants supplied . What were they to do 1 Were they to have that protection extended to them which had been g ' wen to the machines ? Here you are in England , and the question arose whether you are to beat the French out of the markets , or whether you are to starve them or they you —( hear , hear . ) Bad laws had given a wrong direction to the industry of the people . They were crying out in Africa , in Poland ,

      Sweden and America . for our goods 5 and we were starving at home . The whole of our exportations did not exceed seventy-two millions a year , and home consumption was restricted by nefarious laws . The people of Ireland were' destitute of the neoessaries of life ; some of them wandering without shoes or stockings ; yet if they had political power they would soon find better use for our goods than sending those goods out of the couhtry--( hear . ) Why do not those who say ^ that if the duty on com was taken off , they wonld give employment to those who are now starving , by increasing home consumption 1 Why do they not give as the-power of conaumingj- - We once had the means to consume ; A gentleman who had taken the chair at an anti-Corn Law meeting actually shed teaT 3 in sympathy for the distresses of the poor , when he was one of those who had done much to cause euch distresses . : :

      Dr . M'Douall now rose to address the meeting , and was hailed with tho tokens of enthusiastic regard , as were the preceding speakers . The Doctor made along and excellent speech , which our limits forbid U 9 to give . V Mr . R . K . Puilp next addressed the meeting , and was much applauded . He called upon them to join the National Charter Association . Mr . C . Clarke proposed , " That thiB meeting thanks the Executive Council for their services in the cause of Chartism , and pledges itself to support them so long as they adhere to our sacred principles . " : ¦ - ¦ ¦ ¦¦ ' ,

      Mr . Roberts seconded the motion , and passed an high and deserved eulogium on the Executive , who , he said , appealed : to the judgment of their hearers , and not to their passions . 1 ¦ The motion was pat and carried unanimously . Three cheers were given for the Executive .: Dr . M'Douall returned thanks , and proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman , which motion was seconded by Mr . Campbell who gave the worthy Alderman much praise for the conduct he had always evinced towards the Working classes . Three hearty cheers were accordingl y given .. He returned thanks and said he should ever be found at his post in the hour of trial and danger—( renewed cheering . ) The meeting then separated evidently much delighted .
