THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM Is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life , and is exclusively directed to the cure of such complaints as arise from a disorganization of the Generative System , whether constitutional or acquired , loss of sexual power , and debility arising from Syphiltic disease ; and is calculated to afford decided relief to those who , by early indulgence in solitary habits , have weakened the powers of their system , and fallen into a state ef chronic debility , by which the constitution is left in a deplorable state , and that nervous mentality kept up which places the individual in a state of anxiety for the remainder of life . The consequences arising from this dangerous practice are hot confined to its pure physical result , but branch to moral ones ; leading the excited , deviating mindihtoa fertile field of seductive error —into a gradual but total degradation of manhoodinto a pernicious application of those inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for the preservatioa of her species ; bringing on premature decripitude , and all the'habitudes of old age : —such a one carries with him the form and nspectef other men , but without the vigour and energy of that Bcason which his early youth bade him hope to attain . How many men cease to be men , or at least , cease to . enjoy manhood at thirty ! ' How many at eighteen receive the impression of the seeds of Syphilitic disease itself ! the consequences of which travel out of the ordinary track of bodily ailment , covering the frame with disgusting evidences of its ruthleco natnrr , nnd'impregnating the wholesnnA ^ - •••• . . ¦ '¦) ¦ I' mor ' pO * ' -i ' u If " ¦'"• . ) »»*( .

The fearfully abused powers of the human Generative System require the most cautious preservation ; and the debility and disease resulting from early indiscretion demand , for the cure of those dreadfu evils , that such medicine should be employed that is niost certain to uccessfHl . It is for these cases Messrs . Perry and Co ., particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM which is intended to relieve those persons , who , by an immoderate iudulgence of their passions , have ruined their constitutions , or in their way to the consummar tion of that . deplorable state , are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach , aa the various affections of the nervous system , obstinate gleets , excesses , irregularity , obstructions of certain evacuations , weakness , total impotency , barrenness &c '« . As nothing . can be better adapted to he * # nd nourish the constitution , so there is nothing more generally acknowledged to . be peculiarly efficacious in all inward waatings , loss of appetite , indigestion , depression of 6 pirits , trembling or shaking of the hands or Hmbs , obstinate coughs , shortness of breath , or consumptive habits . It possesses wonderful efRcacy in all cases of syphilis , fits , head-ache , weak ^ ness , heaviness and lowncss of spirits , -dimness of ' sightj' confused thoughts , wandering of the mind , vapours and melancholy ; and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually moved by its use , And even where the disease of Sterility appears to have taken the firmest hold of tho female constitution , the Bpftning tonic qualities of the Cordial Balm of Syriiacum will warm and purify the blood and juices , increase the animal spirits , invigorate and revive the whole animal machine , and remove the usual impediment to maternity ; This medicine is particularly recommended to be taken before persons enter into the Matkimqniai ; State , lest in the event of procreation occurring , the innocent offspring should bear enstamped upon it the physical characters derivable from parental debility , or evil eruptions of a malignant tendency , that are most assuredly introduced by the game neglect and imprudence .

      _ ^ SOUTH LANCASHIRE DELEGATE MEETING . Ihif Importnti meeting , which was idjcmrned a fortnight ago , was held oa Sunday last , in the Char . tist Boom , Brown-street , East Manchester . The delegates , -who had many of them to come a long distance , assembled at eleven o'clock . Delegates present : —Mr . William Gresty , York-street , Manchester ; Mr . Wm . Grocott , Brown-street , Manchester ; Mr . Besben Hague , Lees ; Mr . Thomas Lair-^

      ¦ a * " itt < . ^ i — __ _ _ * a _ it- ytxalv Mr . Wm . Gkestt -was called to the Chair . The Secretary read over the minntes ef last meeting , ^ rhich were confirmed , and also a number of letters bearing upon the business of tha meeting . Each delegate then paid his qncta of money towards the Convention fond . The money a&irs being satisfactorily settled , a long discussion ensued , which tenninatsd by the passing of the following resolution : — Moved by Mi . Cartledge , and seconded by Mr .

      Beard" That , in order to come to a clear and brotherly understanding -with the ChartiBts of this county , it is the opinion of the delegates representing South Lancashire , that it is requisite and desirable the -whole of Lancashire should join in engaging lecturers , and to transact all other business connected . -with the Chartist movement in the county ; and that the Secretary do forthwith correspond with the sub-Secretaries of the North on the subject , and the same to be laid before the naxt delegate meeting . " Mr . Cartledge then moved the following resolution , vhich "was secenfied by Mr . Nuttall , and carried unanimously : —

      " We the Delegates of South Lancashire pledge onr-Belves not to be parties to any compromise "with the Com Lav League or any other body of men , but that ^ re ¦ will stand by tie Charter , the whole Chatter , and to igitate for nothing less , and that a Committee be chosen to draw up an address to the county to that effect , giving instructions how the Chartists of Lancashire should is our opinion act at all the forthcoming meetings , and at any deputations which they may for the future hare with the League , or any other party who might wish an interview with them . " Messrs . Griffin , Carttedge , and Grocott , were then elected to draw up the aforesaid address . After a long discussion on the propriety of having a regular correspondence with the Members of the Con-Tention while sitting , for which purpose a Central Committee should be formed to sit in Manchester . The following resolution was carried unanimously .

      " That a Committee of persons be appointed whose business it shall be to keep up a continual correspondence with the Members for Lancashire while sitting , to give them such information and instruction as they in their judgment may deem best calculated to forward ihe good cause in which we are engaged ; and should anything of importance transpire they « h i *> immediately communicate the same to the Secretaries of Lancashire , accompanied with such information and advice as they may think necessary . And we urgently eallnpon every member in the county to hold themselves prepared to second the exertions of their Council in every legal way , and so te act as the ease may require . " The following persons were elected as the Committee , Messrs . Griffin , Cartledge , Grocott , Davies , Knight , Shearer . Waters , and Kankin .

      The Sectetary was then ordered to write to Liverpool and a few other places who are in arrears , requesting them to come forward as early as possible . A Deputation was next introduced from Delph , Saddleworth , who stated that they were situited betwixt the two counties , and wished to know -whether t&ey should join Lancashire or Yorkshire , The former Jjeiog more likeJy to render them assistance fcy Beading them lectures , & 0 . It was moved by Mr . Rankin , seconded by Mr . Grocott and carried , " That they join Lancashire . " After a vote ef thanks to the Chairman and Secretary for their disinterested and veltmtary services , the Delegates dispersed . The next Delegate meeting win be held on the last Sunday of next month . The Address of the Delegates of Soulh Lancashire to their Constituents and the Chartists generally throughout the United Kingdom .

      Bkother Chastists , —We , the delegates assembled , consider it to be our duty at this very important period of our agitation , to give you our opinion and advice on the proud position which ws hold in our gigantic straggle as a party for political freedom . But a short time ago , the factions who were striving lot the contents of the mess-trough , would not allew yon , in their narrow , abort-sighted , prejudiced , and contracted craniums , to have the least power . They treated yon with scorn and contempt ; your measures " were wild and visionary ; in fact , you were considered unworthy of their notice , —except to receive their calumny , abuse , and misrepresentation . But by your perseverance , your determination , your firmness , your arguments , numbers , and adherence to principle , yon have compelled them , though reluctantly , to change their tose and behaviour—they having found that all

      their schemes , tak-st and wealth , were insufficient to draw you from the one great object to which you are attached , have at last—ihear it , ye Chartirts , and let it be proclaimed through the length and breadth of the land }—admitted that we are a party , and a very powerful one . They have , in conclave , made a declaration that they cannot accomplish their otgeet without the assistance and co-operation of the industrious millions , cud more especially those who are denominated Chartists-Had they been honest and sincere towards the Chartists —had the Whiga performed their work whilst in power , ihe sufferings , imprisonment death , and transportation of the Chartists would have been prevented . What amount of confidence can we place in them , after their being so long beating about the bashes , and , as a last step , only coming forward to court our support through mere necessity , acd not from principle ?

      They wished to attraet our attention by forming an Association for Household Suffrage , when they had found that persecution nor imprisonment would neither lead er drive 113 from our scent of the Charter . Our lesSere met them honestly and fairly , and beat them at Leeds . An editor of this town—namely , Mr . Prentice , of the Maxckssier Times , as a sort of feeler , put forth an eduei-Jenal standard for the franchise , instead of that laid doira in the Cbartsr . We exposed that , and of

      course it would not take . The working millions conedTed that they ought not to be deprived of their birthright , -when the system of class legislation had prevented them from learning the mechanical arts of writing sad riding—that is , the system was calculated , in the £ rsi pltce , to make them ignorant ; and , according to the notions of this Solon—this "would-be patriot and public instructor , they must remsin £ liTe 3 , in consequence of such ignorance , a more unjust and unreasonable project could not have effiacaled from a despot , much less a liberal man .

      They next brought out a declaration for what was lermed complete Suffrage ; bnt this , like the other two "bids , " wererejeeted . The Chartists would not beagain dEceiTe ± The coasajcenee was . that it only tended to EhffW thai "ttecinfcss aad sho&mg- We met this at the cutset , aod exposed it , and very little is said about it , except among a few high Whigs . Another gtcUtinen of the Midland Counties , who Ifcoagfct he would prove himself more wDy and cunsisg in the syBtem of political juggling—a Ekiifnl general of th * thimble-riggers—in order to prove that te was a masterpiece in the art of deception aiid cussing —bronght out a new Charter , forsooth ! which , for i few days , made a great noise in his own ceighboirho&a , ssd afterwards died after hard kicks— nnL-: Eected , dishonoured , and almost forgotten—nt Itast , * e have 2 K , t heard a word either about him or his new bom since its last dying groans .

      The whole cf their attempts having been frustrated , and perceiving that they were fist , and in a weak and avfal position—the Tories beating them in the House , and the naught ; Chartists cuffing them in trying to siaie them honest out of the House—their positien as a party , was truly pitiable—to obviate which , 2 E « ^^ ise a kind cf ferment , and to extricate themselves oat of their manifold blunders and difficulties , and to offer another bait , a few great and liberal souls , about fcalf-a-dozsn jn cumber , assembled on Friday , the llth inst , at a Temperance Hotel in Manchester , and drewcp a declaration , demanding the Suffrage and the billot , setting forth that it was the production of a Ecmber of men who were merchants , tradesmen , manu-&czqtzt 8 , inhabitants , and working classes cf 3 Ianti&itei . They employed a number of men ta stand at at the end of streets to obtain signatures , who said thst th& working and middle classes had joined fer a Bepeal of th&Comiaws .

      The Chartists , who are ever on the alert , who have watched their tricks , saw throngh this puff , and set it down a ? only consistent with all their ether moves . Cccseqcently , the obstinate , ignorant , and silly Chartists rejected it , denounced it as vague and -unsatisfactory , ted unworthy of their support Tfc&ir cext step was to pass resolutions , calling upon her J ' sjssty to dismi&s hex present advisers , and call to her council men rrho wonld abolish the Corn Laws , and to give to every mn-n of twenty-one years of age , of sane mind , &c a vote for the election © f Members to Parliament , ans likewise the Ballot

      When the memorial , which ought to have been framed according to these resolutions , came ont , behold , to ota astonishment and disgust , these parties , who had so recently become so honest—these new converts to hberal principles—these men who wish for the cooperation of the Chartists—had deceitfully burked , or lather omitted te mention a word abont either the Bafoage or the Ballot , the memorial only asked for 'Baisters who would repeal the Corn Laws . Now , fellow-soantrymen , whither Chartista or not , Waft be expected that we can trust such men as these ?

      Untitled Article

      Ought -we not . to be swptical ? Is it sot sufficient to convince us that they only wished to make tools of us to obtain repeal ? Would such men as those give us to political power if they could ? What other motives can they have—what designs but those of deception and intrigue ? What is the reason of all this manseuvering ? Why have they feeen driven to this sort of conduct ? Why all this scheming , planning , and capering ? First , Household Suffrage ; Sscond , Education Suffrage ; Third , Complete Suffrage ; Fourth , Twenty-five years' Suffrage ; Fifths the Charter Snffrage and Vote by Ballot Why simply and truly because you were determined not to budge from the Charter—because you were

      wedded to' these undying principles contained in that imperishable document called the People ' s Charter , and were resolved not to make any or the least compromise . or to join any party who won d not go at once for a full measure of justice ; then take credit for your firmness , integrity , and honesty ; you now see that every step you have taken has been a judicious one , and that by a perseverance in the same line of procednre yon will be respected by the parties who - nee despised you , and as you have brought them from one point to another , like squirrels hopping from bough to bough you will compel them to come out whether honestly or not for every thing you desire . You have obtained too great a triumph te give way ; your cause is just , and ought to be espoused by every working man who loves himself

      his family , " his country , and posterity . No man will object to our priciples who is a lover of liberty . No one will refrain joining ui , but he who is content to remain a mere servile slave . Indeed neither the advocates of the Whigs nor the Tories have ever attempted to analize the points of the Charter ; neither the Whig nor the Tory prass have ever properly discussed the principle , bnt have invariably , in a cowardly and unjutt manner , pointed with scorn and ridicule to some reported indiscreet act of an isolated Chartist , without even inquiring whether the statement be true or false , and held it up to their hearers and readers as a specimen , of Chartism . Now were we to adopt this standard , and apply this test to any society , either political ,

      religious , _ or benefit , f we were to identify the actions of men with principles , we might condemn by the same rule every good institution or society in existence . These parties have been in the habit of attending bar parlours , temperersnee hotels , and other places of reaoit -, when the Charter was mooted they have turned np their noses and treated it as beneath their notice , only to make it frightful and appear impracticable , and ¦ when taken to task , when questioned as to whether they hai ever read that document , they have replied in the negative ; and the enly reason these biggotcd busy bodies ,, these fops of politicians , these great and wise wonld-be-statesnien and legislators could assign for their willfa ] ignorance of those piinclples was , that they never considered it worth reading .

      Should these remarks meet the eyes of some of this discription of critics , these great Solomon's , or of any of our new-professed converts , we will give them a brief sketch of the Charter , accompanied with our reasons for agitating for it , leaving ourselves open to meet any man or body of men to defend it , either with pen or tongue ; not because we depend upon our abilities alone , bnt because the principles of the Charter are just and right , founded on truth and require only a plain and unvarnished tale to make them produce conviction in their . favour , in the minds ef every man who is not blinded with prejudics and self-conceit

      As th « first grand point of the Charter , we advocate "Universal Suffrage , liable to the following conditions : —That the voter be a male , twenty-one years of age , of sstna mind , unconvicted of crime , not guilty of personation , bribery , forgery of election certificates , and able to prove a three months residence as a householder or lodger . . The above is the Universal Suffrage of the Chartera suffrage for the virtaous only , from which the perfidious traitor to his conntry ' s rights wculd be excluded —a suffrage discriminating , equitable , and josh

      What we advocate is a right founded upon the princi pies of nature . Politically speaking , we see no differanee in man at birth , theie 1 b none at death , and then surely if God and nature has made no difference in theii entrance into the -wsrld , and going out of the world , there ought net to bt > say in their voyage throngh ihe World ; but the contrary has been the rule , thousands , nay millions by our unjust laws and class legislation have been born slaves , lived slaves , and lastly , have died slaves . It is that ' which has induced man to become a tyrant , and likewise made slaves . No man has ever attempted to shew why the industrious mechanic , or the labouring man should be deprived of his birthright St Paul

      said " those who did not work , neither should they eat " Common sense wonld suggest that it any portion ought to be excluded , it must be those idlers and drones who ¦ fatten upon the blood aad bones of the people . And those industrious millions who labour for their livingthat portion of the community who are the real pride the real prop , the real strength , the real wealth , the real powar , the real protectors , defenders , and greatness-of the nation ought to have a voice in the laws of their country—so that their labour , which is the source of all wealth , which produces everything valuable in society , without which the world would be an nniversal desert , might bs protected , equally with its child , the capitaL

      Vote by Ballot we advocate , deeming it tte only safeguard of the poor but conscientious voter—his only protection against bribery , corruption , and intimidation ; but we resist theiillot , without the suffrage , aB useless and inefficient , upon the same principle that we would a scabbard without a sword to Bhield . Weadvoeat-3 Animal Parliaments , because they would preserve more closely the connection between the elector and the representative , prevent bad Government arisingfrom corrupt Ministers and senators troubled with short memories and truckling principles . We agitate for equal representation , as by its introduction the constituencies , in some cases so disproportionately numerous , would be reduced -, in others , bo diminutive , would be multiplied , so that Harwich , with its 156 electors , should not send an tqaal number of Members to Parliament , with the thousands of Westminster , fcc .

      We advocate the No Property Qualification for Membsra of Parliament , on the principle that it is neither the extent of a man ' s acre * , or the depth of his purse , that qualifies him for a legislator ; but that political integrity , mental intelligence , moral superiority , and unswerving consistency in patriotic devotion to our common country , ferni infinitely more important—nay , indispensable qualifications for the senator and the statesman . Payment of Members we think necessary tinder the operation of a No Property Qualification Parliament , as the most efficient guarantee for the faithfulness and integrity of the representative .

      These , then , are our political principles . They are abstractedly just ; they partake of the eternity of truth and the stability of the immutable . No contrivance , no shuffling , no threats will ever induce us to give them up : we presume to say they are just , and the only way for either enemies or professed friends to lead us from them is , first of all , to shew that they are contrary to tiuth , not our rights , and also impracticable . Till they hava done so we shall remain firm , through evil aud good -report , sincere admirers and advocates of thoie principles . We believe that though the country , at the present time , is in an awful and truly alarming state , that those principles will save it from inevitable ruin if adopted . There are sufficient elements and materials in

      Great Britain to make the people ha ^ py , comfortable , prosperous ,- and free . Under a wise Government every human being might e > e put in possession of a good education , good food , good clothing , and gcod shelter ; ani the Government knowing thi 3 , and having tho opportunity to do bo , not doing it , ought not to be tolvr&te \ 3 . Trie money , tie law , the land , the press , the machinery , have all been monopolised by the middle and higher classes , and made to work against the interest cf the working classes . High rents , high taxes , large profits , and competition , "will ruin any nation , however

      powerful and prosperous it might once have been . We want a power to regulate these afiairs , that they may ¦ srork for ua , instead of , as now , against us ; and until we have obtained such power we shall remain , not as we are , but ,, bad as onr conditionis , we s ) all go worse . There are the same circumstances at work now which have brought us to cur present condition , and will , if not checked , bring us still lower and lower ; hence the necessity for every right-minded and honest man to arouse and declare , and at once , that be will do all he can to put a stop to the present corrupt syfctsin .

      We are a ' ware that hundreds every menth are leaving the land of their birth to seek sustenance in a foreign country , not being able to obtain a living in their owr . If it could be avoidnl we would , for our part , much rather they remained at home , and endeavour to reform their own country . He who stays , acts more the part cf a patriot , if trying to mend it , than he who runs away . It certainly is a cmel system which forces industrious people to leave the country ; because nativity , birthright , brothers , sisters , wives , children , relations , friends , and neighbours , all conspire to bind and endear as to our common country ; and we adept the

      Iangnage of a well known and real Stirling patriot , who said , " that although my country is cursed by tyranny , its natural beauties defaced by misrule and oppression , - its aspects of grandeur blurred by the withering grip of close legislation , its fair daughters and free sons transformed into slaves , its once glorious institutions , subverted and substituted by coercion , through political inequality , social distress , domestic discord , nniversal wrttchednesa . and life-consuming drudgery is the lot of the many millioned helots , though all this is the lot of my country . Yet , from the language of my heart , I exclaim , " My country , with all thy faults I love thee still . " .

      In conclusion , Brother Chartists , we emphatically call upon you to do your duty . At public meetings to be fisn , resolute and determined , allow fair discussion , set aa becomes men seeking your liberty , raise no clamour or confusion , let the middle class have this part of the business to themselves , and at all and every risk stand upon your Chatter . At all meetings publicly convened , be at your post , and the best way to west the honesty of the middle class is to enforce your

      Untitled Article

      amendments for the Charter . Do not be joggled * airpw ao compromise , but by aoond argument aad reason defend at every hazard , the principles which it contains . You are now arrived at a period -when a false step might injure the cause you have so much at heart . If the middle classes are coming oat to join the ChartiBts see that there be no mistake about the matter , and if they object to the Charter , then you will know what to think about them—the times are too serious to be trifled with—we must be sober , active , and persevering . Every man most workas thoujh the whole weight depended upon him .

      In order , therefore , to guard agaizufc the mirrepre sentations of a factious press , you must not by any means , allow the Charter to be a secondary measure , nor must it be allowed to be appended to any other resolution—try your strength at tha beginning of the meeting , -while the first chairman sits . Never let it be said that you elected another chairman to carry the Chart r ; do every thing honestly , fairly , legally , and properly , and triumph , and complete victory is sure to be the result , and you will be held up as men deserving to be free . The middle classes have already show signs of retreat ; follow them up , then ; and , armed and stimulated as you are by justice , virtue , and truth , you will oblige them to yield to a sensible and a determined people : and , above all , be sober Those who can adopt the total abstinence pledge , do ; and those who cannot , be as sober as you can ; but , at any rate , let it not be a test of Chartism—t-very man must please himself in that respect .

      We beg of you , in parting , to prove every man , before you condemn him or despise him . There are men who are continually condemning and calumniating one of the best friends the working man ever had—namely , Feargus O Connor . We have tried him , watched him ; and , hitherto , in every undertaking , found him to be a sterling patriot ; one who has made great sacrifices ; be has exerted himself past expectation ; and for that reason , if thousands of the middle classes were to join u » tc-morrow , we shall give him his deserve , and any other man who merits it the same as he has done . But though we admire iiim for his 8 rmnes 3 and consistency , we do not worship either him or any other man , but respect him in proportion to his patriotism . We

      respect all other leaders ; but as he has of late been made the butt—as the cry has beeen so oft repeated , " Throw Feaxgus overboard , " we therefore wish to inform the middle classes of the pledge of our firm , resolve , namely , that we will not leave the men who have proved faithful ; and that we will immediately discard from our ranks any man who can be proyed a traitor . If the middle classes wish the confidence of us and you , let them do what Feargus has done for the movement , and they shall have the same respect Q * on , then , lads ; be united , and we conquer—divided , and we fall . The Charter . ' the whole Charter 1 > and n » surrender I !! We remain , yours in the cause of justice , pledged to the agitation , determined , knowing our rights , to maintain them .

      We take our leave of you , by declaring , that we will have a long pull—a strong pull—and a pull altogetherand down comes the citadel of corruption . Signed oa behalf the delegates assembled , William Griffin , Willum Grocott , James Cartledge .

      NEWCASTLE . Mr . Liddle had placarded Segbill , announcing "bis intention of giving a lectnre on the Corn Laws , in the Wesleyan Chapel there , on Saturday evening , the 19 tn instant . Soon after seven o ' clock the chapel was lighted tip , and Mr . Liddie , in the presence of about a dczen , commenced bis lecture in the usual hackneyed strain of the League . Messrs . Cockburn and Sinclair , from Newcastle , having heard of the intention of Mr . Liddle to attempt to impose upon the credulity cf the good men and true of Seghill , had just arrived about seven o'cloek , and no sooner had they entered the village than it spread like wildfire that the Chartists had come to oppose Mr . Liddle ' e fcambug , and te that event Mr . Lfddle owed having anything like a meeting . Mr . Liddle pretended to lecture for upwards of an hour . When he finished , -. ¦ - ¦¦

      Mr . Cockburn rose and asked the lecturer if he might be allowed to make a few remarks upon what he had said , and was answered yes , providing he would confine himself closely to the subject . Mr . Cockburn then eomtnenced by exposing the fallacy of Mr . Liddle ' s statement , in -which he said the greater the amount the export trade of the nation the greater the comfort of the working classes , and laying before the meeting certain statistics , shewing how the cotton manufacture , in all its departments , had increased in quantity exported for the last forty years , and yet the wages of the operative manufacturer had decreased ; for instance , in the year 1797 , there had been manufactured 23 , 000 , 000 lbs . of cotton , at which periodl the hand-loom weaver earned £ 1 6 s . 8 d . per week , but in 1810 there were manufactured 460 , 060 , 000 lbs ., being twenty times the quantity manufactured forty-three

      years previous , and yet the hand-loom weaver ' s wages was only 5 s . Gd ., little more than one-fifth of what he earned in 1797 . He then enumerated various other fact 3 tending to prove the same position , and continued It "was true that the Duke of Northumberland , the Marquis of Westminster , the Duke of Buccleucb , and many other landed aristocrats , wallowed in wealth and luxury , on the misery of the toil-worn slaves of Britain ; but bow did the Cobdens , the Potters , the Maishails , and a host of manufacturing leeches , who suck the veiy vitals of the working classes , without being satisfied ? and yet their cry is «• Give , give , give . " This is their object ; give us more profits , and let us give the labouring classes less wages . But the time was when labour was protected—when the working men bad the power of electing their own law-makerswhen they could keep within due bounds he

These were the « tate of things he wished to see restored—a change which » repeal of the Com Xaw 8 "bever could effect , and which the people never need expect , until the people were fully and fairly represented in the legislature , and con . eluded by asking Mr . Liddle the following questions , to none of which be deigned to reply , vis—1 . Would Mr . L ., by any legislative enactment , enable the labourers to , proscribe the increasing power of machinery ? ; 2 . Would he place our labourers in competition , as regards wages , with the labourers on the Continent ?

      3 . Would he assist t » give the labourers the power of protecting themselves ? r Having thanked the meeting for the courtesy they bad shown him whilst making his few remarks , he sat down amidst universal applause ^; ; V .

Cockburn said , that he would discuss with Mr . L . or any other person friendly to the immediate repeal of the Corn Laws , with accompanying measures , the effect which their success would have upon the labouring classes at any time or place within ten miles of Newcastle . : Mr . Sinclair then moved the following resolution , which was carried unanimously , not eveD one of the Plagua daring to hold up his band against it , namely : — ¦'¦¦ . ' . ' ~ - !

      " That the thanks of this meeting be given to Mr . Liddie for having successfully proved all our evils to be the result of class legislation , which can never be removed until the people are fully and fairly represented in Parliament . " The Plague wishing to try their hand in ' ' . Gatesbead , callod a public meeting to be held on Monday , at twelve o ' clock at noon ; they met at the appointed time , and so did the Chartists . As Boon as the May or , as if by natural instinct , took the chair and had opened the proeeedingB , by the Town Clerk reading the placard , Mr . Sinclair asked the Mayor , if , in the event of an adjournment being carried until eight o ' clock this evening , would have the goodness to preside on the occasion , to which his Worship replied he would not , for he was frightened to come out at nights .

      hh : Sinclair then said , that as a working man he felt ; it incumbent upon him to move an adjournment . The Mayor stated that the meeting was got lip for the benefit of the working calsaes , and yet he was the first of all the mayors of Gateshead who denied the people the opportunity of attending without making a sacrifice , which they were ill able to afford .

      Upon its being put from the chair , upwards of twothirds of the meeting held up their hands for the adjournment , but the worthy Mayor declared otherwise , upon which Mr .

      LEICESTER . —After the savage treatment shewn to Mr . Cooper by the Corn-Law repealers in the Guildhall , considerable anxiety was felt among the Chartists , as to the likely issue of the meeting called by the repealers , which took plaee in the market-place in the on Thursday before last . Application was first made to the mayor ,. and to rhe secretary of the Anti-Corn Law Association , tbat a number of tickets might be granted for pur adaiission to the hustings . This was for some time refused , —but ; at length granted . A fe * r minutes after one at noon , from five to seven thousand people were assembled , and the mayor ( Thos . Stokes , Esq . ) came on the hustings , and took the chair . He was surrounded by Messrs . Page * , J « Biggs , Harris , Chapman , I . Hodgson , Fielding , Rawson , and other

      principal mahufacturerSj with Dr . JNoble , Rev . Air Mareell , &o . &c . Messrs . Cooper and Bairstow , together with ninei Cnartist friends , occupied the front of the hustings , to the left of the mayor . The repealers put two resolutions to the meeting , and no opposition being offered , passed them : quietly , — about two thousand hands being held up for each proposition . Mr . Cooper then proposed the foUowinK resolution : — " That this meeting is of opinion , thad the Corn Lawa ^ '' - "' and all . other monopolies which oppress tho people , have their source in class legislation ; and this meeting further expresses its firm and full conviction , that 'the People ' s Charter'is the grand remedy for class legislation , and ought to be made the law of the land . " This proposition was received with immense cheering by the

      assembly . Mr . Bairstow , in a speech filled with manly reasoning , as well as elegance of figure and expression , seconded the resolution ; and on its being put from the chair , an immense forest of hands was held up in . its favour , —at least three-fourths of the Corn Law repealers on the platform also holding up their bands by way of approval . When the negative was put , only about five black-gloved hands on the hustings were shewn , —and ihe mayor instantly declaredithe resolution carried . Intense enthusiasm wasmanifestedbythe assembly , and three cheers were then girenforthe Charter , three for the mayor , and three : for O'Connor . This is thei first open evidence of a disposition for conciliation among the middle classes ; of Leicester . An earnest wish to see the Charter passed into a law , has long been known to exist in tho minds of a few ; but these very individuals have hitherto complained that we prevented

      them from shewing it , by proposing amendments at Corn Lawmeejtings , and thereby ereating"disorder . " On this occasion , a substantive resolution was determined on instead . The vast majority of hands raised for the Chartist resolution , as compared with the shew for Corn Law repeal , ought to convince the Leicester " Liberals' * that nothing less than an agitation for the whole Charter will liow atail with the people . If they fail to evince such a conviction , we shall revert to our old policy of proposing amendments , —from which policy wo have tlius , forihiiJjrst time , departed , —with what eventual success , remains to be seen . —Mr . Bairstow delivered an eloquent sermon , to a crowded audience , in the Shaksperean Roams , on Sunday night ; and Mr . Cooper lectured on lf Forma of Government , and the principles of the People's Charter , " in the game rooms , on Monday night .
