      TO THE CHARTISTS OF SCOTLAND . Brother Chartists , —In my last I pointed out briefly the condition of the Chartist movement in Scotland ; showed that too much dependence bad been placed npon extraneous excitement aa the beit means of extending and confirming a knowledge Of political equality , and the democratic principles of Government j admitting that much good bad resulted , yet it had been attended with thi » remit as » drawback , that the body p « litlo , like the body physical , when feda ^ on ttnraUunts iasubject to despondency , and in the long-run it « fiows signs of bad health . The highly-gifted men whose attendance is requisite at these demonstrations , impress the people with the notion that men less gifted , orators less eloquent are not entitled to their attention nor attendance . It need not be inferred from this view of the past tnat the Cbartists in Scotland are iaaUentivd to , or even negligent in their attendance on the instructions of those valuable men who have arisen from their own ranks to explain the principles of the Charter . The evil intimated here is to be found , neither in the

      Untitled Article

      unfavourable comparison which many institute between the effects of theBe demonstrations , nor the ordinary instructions upon political subjects . This unfavourable impression of dependence will not be removed until the Cnartfata in Scotland havie something to look to for direction and guidance in their movement , something which they can create themselves / and in which they can place their full confidence . 0 : The Convention ol Scotch delegates who met in ' Glasgow on the 3 rd of January , 1842 , among other valuable measures which they suggested for the extension of political knowledge through the country , they arranged that 'Scotland should fee divided into six centres , each district to manage its own agitation ; this so far aa a mere arrangement to effect a desirable end was

      excellent ; bat to make it _ tfF ^ tive end pro posed , it requirea apmething to make it wott—it requires a directing influence , and an influence in which they can have a perfect confidence . It is then a question of some importance , Can they create such a directory .-to be nseful , withoat any risk of it becoming a tyranny over the Chartist movement ? It will be readily admitted by every candid and honest Char tist , that such a council is necessary for the safe conducting of the Chartist cause at the present tiras in Scotland . Nay , that the want of such a bod ; is more or less felt all over the country , there are avlls springing up in the Chartist organisation which such a directory could prevent or remova before it became dangerous to '' its ' . integrfiiy * - " - ¦ ¦ . 7 ; . . :. ¦ ¦ : ;• ¦ ¦ v-l ' v .:. ¦ . •; , ¦ ¦ ; .: ¦ : ¦'¦ ¦ ; . : / -, ^ - \\ ' ¦ . ' ;¦¦ . .

      If the safety and the integrity of the cause is in danger , this is not the time for Scotchmen to sit still or hang back . They do not hesitate in such circumstances in ordinary cases . It is a cause in which their glory or their shame , as a nation , will spring from their success or defeat ; upon it they have cast the die of their deliveranee from civil bondage ; their cbartieter . for . free men or elaves will bis"jndfied accordinsly' their of ten repeated pledge to stand by their own organiBation , requires them to Watch its weak points , and give it a strong tower of dofence . Those who have long looked upon our movement with . an evil sye of jealeusy , grieved at the loss of power whieh its success proves ; are now seeking to turn it into a new channel to mouli 1

      itto their o W n purpose . Tb . is dishonest selfiBbaess explainball the hew moves which have taken place over the country * and their anxiety to bring their money in-. flden ' ce' to tempt our advocates , Bhowa the baBe principles which regulate their procedure ; some of whom the people once honoured with their confidence , have taken the bait , but the people have cast them from them , and withdrawn their confidence from them . There are another class who would wish , nay , they are anxious to drive the people into a false position , that the movement may be dftmaged in its character . Both parties have their agenta at work at the present time among the people : ; and the character they assume to deceive and betray the people is political lecturers . ¦ - ' ¦ ' ¦ .. ¦ . ' ¦ ¦ :- ¦> ... ¦ .-. ¦ : ¦ : ¦ ';/¦ ... ;

      Looking at these circumstances , it cannot be too earnestly pressed upon the six centres in Scotland to bestir themselves in perfecting their organJaition to prevent the selfish through their subtile agency from again leading the people into their coils , or the equally bad , who will never ; rest attempting to betray the people into the bauds of , a bad Government . Let those districts who have so far completed these organisations that they can hold a delegate meeting , and have a Secretary for the Centre , ; appoint one representative who will form one of the Council . Tiiis Will constitute the Scottish Executive , \ mid it 3 use to the cause of Chartism will be found to be of an important nature . I will give Hip present state ef each district , and the duties of the Executive , in ray next addreaa . : DA VID THOMPSON , Secretary to the Alloa Assbciatlon . AHoa , JuJy 18 th , 1842 .

      NOTTINGHAM . —THE NOMINATION . Thursday , the 4 th of August , 1842 , will be a day for ever remembered by all parties in Nottingham .

The place ^ allotted to Mr . Walter and his backers , wa 3 but thinly occupied . ; and the great portion was at the disposal of the friends of Mr . Sturge , but was uoverthekss found inadequate for their accommodation .

      At ten o ' clock the spacious hall was opened , when a tremendous rush was made , and the whole speedily filled with the son 3 of labour . After the preliminaries were gone through , Mr . HARDWicKE ; rose to propose Mr . Walter , and was received with a ' . volley of groans . He did his work briefly , having a poor subject to dilate upon . Mr .

When hia opponent—Mr . Sturge- ^ presented himeelf to the people , the scene was different . Never was there heard a more unanimous burst of enthusiastic applause . The Honourable

      Member ( for he is now M . P . for Nottingham , ) spoke at considerable length , arid with great force and effect . He analysed every point of the Charter , point ; by point , nobly standing up for one and all ; and when ho came to the question of Annual Parliamentr , he said , I am filled with astonishment at the weakness of the middling classes , who would make a question of a few months a bone of coritention between them and the people , for all admit the necessity of change ; he declared himself for a separation of Church and State , for the disbanding of army and navy , for the proper application of the funded property , and for the whole Charter .

      WESTBSOBIWICH . GBE iT MEETING OF THE COLLIERS . The colliers of Stafford end Worcestershire held a most numerous meeting , in a large field : at West-Bromwich , at eleven o ' clock on Monday last , for the purpose of agreeing on the amount of wages which they should demand . , The country for mileB rpnnd , waB in a state of excitement and alarm as to the result of euch an immense body assembling together , and every pre * caution was taken by the authorities to preserve the peace . ;

      Large placards were numerously posted , threatening all who attended the meeting with transportation . The yeomanry cavalry were called out , shoals of speoial constables were sworn in , and Lord Dartmouth , and several other magistrates were < -ariy in their attendance at t le Dartmouth Arms , West Bromwich , where they were busily engaged swearing in special constabl es . Anumborof the Birmingham Chartists who bad arranged to proceed to the meeting , were proceeding

      up Bull-Street , when they were overtaken by a troop of Cavalry from the barracks , dashing off with their shining brass caps to the soene of action . The colliers of Walsall and neighbourhood , came in large numbers , precede-d by Mr . Grifiiths and other active members of the Chartist body . The Bilston , Wolverhampton , aDd ether colliers in that part were led on by Messrs . Linney , Wilcox , and others ; whilst Messrs , Cook , Pearson , and other active Chartists accompanied the men from Dudley , arid that quarter .

      Ab the time of meeting drew nigh , crowds of col " liers , with their flannel jackets , were-to be seen moving in all directions , to the plaoe of meeting . A consulta / iou was held between the parties intending to address the meeting . Resolutions , &o . were agreed to ; after which they moved towards the hustings , and were received with loud cheers by the immense assemblage , on making their appearance on the hustings , Mr . Geoige Hemmings , a collier , from Stafford ? 6 hire Potteries , was unanimously . called to the chair , amidst loud cheers . He said , that as a collier , he felt himself deeply interested in that meeting , and he hoped they would conduct themselves in a peaceable and orderly manner It was by acting in this manner that they had accomplished their object in the Potteries ; for . although the lying Whig and Tory newspapers had represented them as being

      riotous , ha couid assure them that no disturbance was created by the colliers in the Potteries ; and he hoped they would act similarly . He understood thai a number of soldiers were in attendance ; but he advi < ed them to stand firm , and offer no opposition to them ; and if they came on the ground they should open a passage for ih ^ m , and allow them to pass . He had nothing further to add except to request thim to give every speaker a fair hearing . Mr . Joseph Linney , of Bihston , said he had been appointed by the colliers of Bilston to bring before that meeting the resolutions they had come to ; and he would first ask them whether they would stand firm , after they had gained what they were seeking , until the Bilston men also got theirs?—( Yes , yes ) He understood that on a former occasion they went to their work when their claims were acceded to , aud left the Bilston ' men to shift for themselves .

      Tuey were now assembled together to enter into an agreement to stand by each other to get thnir rights , as far as their wages were concerned . The Bilston colliers bad unanimously reeoived to stand out until their demands were complied with , snd he hoped they would afterwards assist their tellow-countrymen to get the People ' s Charter—( Loud cheers aud " We will , lad . ") As there were other persons , from various colliery districts , to address them , he then retired amidst loud cheers . Mr . Gbiffiths , of Walsall , was warmly

      applauded , and baid thai he was instructed by the colliers of Walsall district , to state that they would abide by the resolutions agreed to at the meeting then assembled . He thought he need say no more at present as others had to deliver their reports . Mr . Faihburn , of Wednesbury , was then introduced , and said that the men of Wednesbury were resolved to act with the others , and would stand firmly by the resolmions passed that . day . He advised them to be orderly and peaceable , and not give their enemies an opportunity of taking advantage . 61 of them . He retired an / iJst loud cheers .

      Mr . Ahthur O'Neil aidTetsed the meeting at some length on the justice of their claims , and said be was authorised , by the colliers and foundry men of Oldbury to represent them on the present occasion . He then read a string of resolutions setting forth the grievances of tho colliers , and the Temedy they desired . The following is the substance of the colliers' demands : — Tf . at tight hours' libour shall be the extent for one day . That four shillings be paid in money for such ti ^ ht hours' labour , and two quarts of drink .

      lhat ha : f-days and quarter-days be abolished , except at the time when a fair or wake was being held . That the "Truck System " should be abolished , as well as a practice termed " Billooses , " which caused the collkrs to work in the pits for a few hours , their only remuneration for which was a pint of beer ; and finally that no man should go down a pit for less than a full day's employ , unless at a fair or wake time . Mr . O'Ne . 'l dwelt at great length-on the necessity of the coilirrs adopting those resolutions , and was loudly cheered .

      Tne Chairman then explained the regulations existmt ; arn-n ^ Ht colliers in the Potteries , and read a letter from the colliers of Dariaston detailing their grievance ? . Mr . O Niel then delivered an eloquent addresp , in which he showed the cower of the working classes to ei > tablhh their just claims , and concluded by moving the resolutions above-named , for the adoption of the meeting . Mr . Joseph Linsey seconded the resolutions , and described the state of siavery to which the working men had been reduced , and trusted they would not stop short of gaining what they , they then claimed , but asssist their fellow countrymen in . establishing the People ' s Charter —( loud cheers . )

      Mr . George White , of Birmingham , supported the resolution , and was warmly applauded . He said he felt great pleasure in seeing the working men uniting for the purpose of protecting themselveB from the robbery and iujustice perpetrated on them , and proceeded at some length to explain tho cause of the working men ' s degradation , and the mode by which they were kept in ignoracoof their rights , that the ruling power might the more effectually plunder them ; even the clergy who pretended to save their souls , assisted tbeir masters in starving their bodies and chuckling at the idea of the easy mode ty which they had duped th 8 m ; when they returned to their splendid parlours they might justly repeat the following lines" If humbugged thus the rabble chooBe to be , Why let ' em , since it brings the chink to Hie ; There ' i none ao blind as those who will not eee . "

      But the working men were now at length beginning to find out that their only hops of justice d- pended on their own exertions . We showed them how gentlemen were manufactured out of their labour , whilst their children were obliged to go shoeless ; and after adverting to the value of their labour , if protected by an honest Government chosen by themselves , he called on all who were favourable to the People ' s Charter to hold up their hands . Every hand in the immense assemblage , which at this time amounted to twenty thousand , was then uplifted ; and Mr . White concluded bv giving notice that he would remain after the meeting was concluded to enrol the men of West Bromwich in the National Charter Association . Mr . Fraser Peabson , ChartiBt lecturer , then delivered an excellent address in support of the resolutions .

      Mr . Macintosh , Socialist lecturer , from Birmingham , made a clever speech on the occasion , after which the resolutions were put by the Chairman , and carried unanimously , amidst loud cheers and clapping of hands . Mr . Powell , a shoemaker of West Bromwich , and member for Birmingham to the first Convention , and several others , addrtssed the meeting . A vote of thanks was unanimously passed to the Chairman , after which the vast multitude peacefully separated . : Mr . White then proceeded to Swan village , and enrolled a number of members in the National CLaiter Association , and Mr . Walter Sainsbury , Ehoemaker , was appointed sub-Secretary .
