      Wssit to i » endured * bat in this beautiful land , blessed by fee Great Giver of all with almost nnboanded-fertility , they should be in their present miserable position ? Talk of West Indian of East Indian , or of African slavery ! Let them look to the Werth of England , and they -would find ibey-were in a far worse positionthat the African Blare -was far happier than the intelligent mechanic . If this -was to continue they had better return to a stata of nature ; but let them only concentrate the intelligence and the energy floating &mons them—let them persevere in this good cause , and they "would go on conquering and to conquer . They -would indeed make the land , in the -words « f the ' " Great , glorious , and free . "

      He a cknowledged that they -were ignorant , or they would never hare so long consented to allow another elass to reap all the benefit of their industry . Bnt they \ Fould endeavour to wipe off this stain frsm their character . They wished not to uproot or to injure any c&ss of society—they wished not the poor to make laws to oppress the rich , bnt to hinder the rich from oppressing tha poor ; and if they possessed the minds of Englishmen , if they possessed a spark of the spirit which glowed in their ancestors , they would yet raise themselves into the proud position in which they # oght to be plaoed ( great cheering . )

      Mr . Peat stated that it was quite unexpected that be was called upon to speak to the toast , but it had been so ably entered into by the last speaker as to leave but little for him to say . The simple language of the toast spoke volumes . It embodied a great and important fact—that the labourer was not justly rewarded . Those who erected the splendid mansioBs , those who decked in their splendour the royal palaces , who created the magnificienoe which adorned the royal table , who manufactured the beauteous volumes whieh graced the libraries , which pervaded tha habitation of the aristocracy , were themselves involved in misery and degradation . Even in his own trade many of those -whom he now saw around T " * ™ with smiling faces , had a few weeks previous known the ill effects of

      povertybad been ground down to misery and want , from a ¦ want of employment What was the cause of this anomaly , but that they had allowed a class of society to mate the laws by which they applied the fruits of their labour to their owa renal purposes , and thereby kept them in ignorance and degradation , and endeavoured to brutalize their minds , and then taunted them with . the . ignorance they had themselves created . If they wanted labour to be rewarded they must have a voice in the legislature . Those who had the power of Toiing wers those who had accumulated property , -while poverty was confined to those who were destitute ol Has power . The toast also mentioned Ireland . Her sons had also suffered misery and poverty to even a greater degree than the people of England , &nS it

      was the duty of both to unite t « remove the oppression under which they groaned . I > id they ever hear of the aristocracy quarrelling among themselves ? Why then were the working men thus disunited * He did not belifeve that the trades' unions had been completely succesrful in the object they had in view , but they had done much , good , and he despised that mas , who , while he was calling out for political privileges , was working under price and ruining bis brother tradesmen . tGreat cheering . ; He despised the man who , while living on the hard earnings of working men , would denounce them lor endeavouring to protect their labour . He believed that Trades" Unions were the fathers of the present political movement , and he hoped they would form one mighty Trades' Union for

      tbs attainment of their long withheld rights . What light had a class of men to live upon their only property—ibeir labour ? They tslked about the right of capital ! Labour was the capital of the working man , and yet all the other classes lived in idleness and profligacy tjp « n the labour of -the sens of toil , and perverted the wealtbrtltus obtained to the shameful purposes of bribery and corruption which Mr . Roebuck bad so well ^» wn up in the House of Commons . One great advantage of the Tories being in power was the creation of a strong Radical party in that House ; and , if they were backed np by the people , they would increase to a much greater degree than at aay previous period- It had been thrown in their teeth that they were for despoiling of -property 2 Was it likely they

      should destroy that which they had laboured to create ? Bui no state was safe—there eould be no security for property , unless the institutions of the country produced happiness for the people—unless wealth was so distributed as to create plenty amongst those who had created it , provided they did not themselves put a barrier to it by crime or laziness ; but it generally happened that the most intelligent and industrious were the worst remunerated , because they were chitfly connected with mechanical pursuits . They had been tsmted with ignorance . As far as the trickery of legislation went , they must plead guilty to that charge ; they had been educated mechanically , and not suffioentfy political ; they knew more about a jack plane than about the trickery of politics , or they would have

      besn bstter oft He -vras fax from blaming them for this . He thought the manner in which the working men were now endeavouring politically to educate themsslves was an honour to them ; they had broken down the barriers which excluded them from politics . After a hard day ' s toil , they were to be seen -wending their way to political meetings ; they were rearing up a yoccg democracy that would in time render England the envy and admiration of surrounding nations . { Hear , hear , and cBeers . ) He vas happy to see the manner in -which the females had taken up this Suestisn . It had been said that there had not existed a great or good man who had not a wise mother : and

      it was cheering to think that they shculd soon have a generation of young Chartist Radicals —( heari . It had been said that women had nothing to do with politics ; bnt they had to do with whatever affected their interests , —and politics greatly affected them . Let the females unite their moral force with that of the males , and they would speedDy attain their object without physical force . He was opposed to anything like physical force until erexy moral means had been fairly tried . He believed that even if the Charter was gained , so long as the competitive state of society existed , trades miions would be necessary , and he thought it was the duty of every man to belong to them .

      The teast was then drank upstanding , with three times three . 2 * Ir . Hotte responded to the toast by a song suitable to the occasion . The CHAiEMiK in introducing the next toast made some excellent observations regarding the protracted struggle of the masons , and clearJy showed that if they had been in possession of political power , the struggle would never have been protracted in the manner in which , it had been ; neither would the masters have been supported by the Government and the aristocracy as at present

      "Dr . il'Dot all had great pleasure in proposing the JoHowing toast ;— " The Charter ; may it speedily become the law of the land , and may all classes of society have spirit and resolution to protect and defend their independence against the poweif ul attacks of unbridled ambition . " Appearing among them as an invited gutst , he trusted he shculd be acquitted of any intention of obtruding his opinions npon their attention , or of occaping that time with politics -which was usually devotwi to more general subjects . It was with great pleasure that he always addressed any trades' body ; bac he felt more particularly honoured upon the present occasion , -srhen the ohject for which they had metteat of assisting the aged and tie infirm—an object so gisafc , £ o worthy , and bo good , engaged their attention , he could not suppose that one man present on this

      ocezsion would object to the introduction of a subject cslcukted to give happicess , prosperity , and liberty to the Tfhole population of the country : he did not belie-ve one among them -would object to the torn of the CLsrttr , which alone was calculated fully to prottct labour . If labour was proptriy prottcU d , weald the sun which was now shining so brightly en them shine upon so mmjy broken hearts—so many huts " of misery and distress ? Why -sres it not alwajB with thtm like the present hour , positive happiness aria joy 2 If there -was one present -who thought that his labour -sras fully protected , he would point him to the splendid p&kce he , perhaps , had assisted to erect ; to the grandeur and bfeanty of its fretted pillars ; t-j the magnificence and splendour -which relgntd vritbin ; and then look to the destitute homss of those -who had

      created this splendour . Look at another part of the body srhom he had the honour of addressing—the shiparpenters , those who reared the splendid ship which * alk « i the water like a thing of life ; look at is in its foegfe state as the trunk of a tree , every plank hayini ; to be adapted by the hand of labour , every b : t of cordage , trrery spar , its mighty anchor , all had to be "tftvutht by the hand of these despised beings , the Voikfsg men ; look at the whole of the vast and wonderful productions of man ' s labenr , and amidst all these splendid achievements of industry ,- have yon * k * to go fio"ffn to the tomb of your forefathers aDd recoid jonraeif a slave there , in bitterness of heart , to fail on joar knees , and acknowledge that the history of the labouring classes is one vast record of misery and

      d egradation ? it jg against this system , caused by clas » legislation , that we , as Chartists , are waging "fc ' ferfare ,- against this oppression we -will direct our energies until we destroy it * He certainly belched So the middle class of society himseif , bnt the fiiiseryand distress he had witnessed had compelled him to advocate the rights of the working men . He had in his own time witnessed the direful fate of the band-loom , "weavers ; he had Been them a happy and soieUigeat ace of men ; he had « een the sun Ebinirg » ith beauty upon their cottages by the hill-side ; be had een their cheeks flashed with happiness and joy ; imt , owing to the present vicious system , he bad also SflBB them in misery and wretchedness : the cottage on fi » hill-side had gone to ruin in many places ; the

      ploagh fcad gone over the spot , and as a class they were » ow reduced to the lowest verge of human misery It this had been the fate ef a large and once prosperous dsis of aen , had cot every other trade reason to expect a repetition of the same scene , and were they not in duty bcuud to exert themselves in making a provision against it ? You have been told that we are for destroying property . What property is to be compared in valuft to yotr labour ? Is not the cause of more importance than the effect ? Tct the effect is protected aad the cause is not protected A house is protected by law , and k > is the owner cf the house . A ship is protected , and to is the owner of the ship . Bat , although there ttss 40 , 000 laws to protect property , but he knew cf no law to protect labour , not a sin-

      gle enactment to protect the creators of this wealth —( hear , hear ) . He looked upon labour as being of the highest importance , and he wished to see that labour protected by law . Those who accused them of wishing to destroy property , did not believe the charge in . their hearts . He coald easily account for the sensitive feeling they displayed ; they knew that by having political power , they had been enabled to rob the working classes , and they supposed the ChartiBte . when they obtained thesame power , would UBe it ia a similar manner , and rob them ; he could easily enter into their feelings ; they were somewhat similar to those of a thief who had stolen a coat and got it on hiB back when he met the owner of it . They demanded political power to protect their labour

      , and to relieve it of its present burdens ; the aristocracy had weilded their power for the benefit of a class ; they had plundered and robbed the working class to raise themselves to sffluence and eminence on their ruin . No body of mea were watched by Government and by the rich with a more jealou 3 eye than the trades' societies ; they were fearful of their taking a part in the present political straggle ; the effect of their petition of three millions and a half of signatures , had been to arouse the whole of France , and the whole of the Continent of Europe to the importance of the principle they advocated , and he could not suppose for one moment that the trades of this nation would not respond to the call , that they would not perform their duty at

      this i mportant crisis . He believed that ere long they would come forward to a man to obtain political power . Did they not feel the necessity of this power to pot down the combination and the corresponding laws . Why were they compelled to have trades ' unions at all but Bom the fact that the laws did not protect them ? and they vrae compelled to resort to this measure to protect themselves—to obtain that which the laws denied to them . The Chartists were seeking to give to them that power which woald enable them to obviate the necessity of establishing societies for the protection of the aged and the infirm , out of their scanty means . The Charter would enable them to destroy those evils whieh embittered the happiness of the cottage , and

      it wonld sire to all a due protection for their labour . As the ladies present were desirous of entering into an agitation peculiar to themselves , that of dancing , he would not occupy mnch more of their time , bnt wonld impress upon them the necessity of procuring those rights which alone oould place them in an independent position . No class in society performed similar duties , and yet no party were in possession of fewer rights . The aristocracy performed no duty to society save that of consuming what others produced . The middle clas 3 produced nothing ; they only exchanged over the counter what the working men produced . The lawyer performed few duties that might not be readily dispensed with . The doctor might have much of his employment

      dispensed with if society was properly organised ; they wonld thas see that if strict justice was done , the working men producing all , performing all the important duties of life , were entitled to greater rights than any ; other class ; but they did not desire this ; they desired eqnality of rights to all . He should leave the subject to their jndgment , expressing his earnest wish to see them armed with political power , to see the Charter gained , not by force or bloodshed , but gained without intimidation to the rich or injury to the poor ; without foreign invasion or domestic strife ; without the palace rafters being in flames , or the hearth of the poor man ' s cottage destroyed . Let them unite in the struggle , and endeavour to gain by moral and intellectual force , by bringing to bear tie full weight of the tide of public opinion . Day after day , year after year they were advancing with rapid strides . The

      House had rejected their petition ; the House was no longer worthy of their respect : they had denied to them what was granted to the greatest criminal —the right of a hearing . The next step would be to appeal to the throne ; to tell her Majesty firmly that the affections of the British people could only be ensured bv full justice being done to them ; and that iheir affection was of more value than the gewgaw spectacles of the palace ; and that unless justice was rendered them they were not bound to preserve their lojalty . The course they intended to adopt was first , to presents remonstrance to the House ; second , to appeal to the Queen ; and lastly , to themselves . He again called npon them to unite in the glorious struggle for equal rights to all ; their character as a nation would then be exalted , and firmness given to the institutions of the country -Merest cheering . )

      Mr . Bay . nes of the British Statesman , said there was one sentiment expressed by Dr . M'Douall , which he thought peculiarly applicable ; it was why were they here to protect themselves , but because the"law did not protect them ? they had been enjoying a good dinner , and they might ask why politics were allowed to interfere with it ! Did they have one dinner out of the other 364 , in which politics did not interfere with its cursed bread laws , beef Jaws , and other bad laws , and if they allowed the Government to interfere with their dinners on 364

      days , it was but moderate vengeance to have one day for their own politic 3 to interfere . No one could properly understand the toast unles 3 they en-1 tered into the vibrations of misery which -werebreak-[ iDg the hearts of the working classes ; but they | might be told that the Charter was a new thing ; so I was Peel ' a income tax a new thing "; so was the tariff and the aliding scale ; the Bishop of Jerusai lem , whose salary we should have to pay , was a new ' thing ; but we could not know the merits of the j Charter until we had tried it . The old institution I had been tried and found wanting . The Charter [ was . only a returning to the old principles of the

      I fViTif tf . TifitirMa Tf Tr \ n net ma nrViof *\» **» V > A » rt ! .-. * V »~ ConstitutioB . If you ask me what or where is the j Constitution , I frankly tell you I dont know , neither could the doctor with his physiological knowledge | tell me what or where the ecul is ? but , still he would tell you that it existed ; so the political constitution , I though I know not where it is—it means happiness i to all who live under its protection . Some apology has been made for trades' unions—is there not the I Annv Club House , and the Navy Club House , and I the Carlton , combining the vices of the two . And I wby ' should you not have your Carpenter's Club , | involving the honesty of neither , and excluding the vices of both 1 That great distress wa 3 in the

      counj -try was admitted at length by Dr . Morrison Peel , | though he could not prescribe until he had received his fee . Peel and the Archbishop ' of Canterbury j have now informed the Queen that distress exists j in the coDDtry . He supposed Albert could not talk j English fluently enough to tell her , so they were i now going to issue begging letters in the Queen's name to the clergy , to raise subscriptions . He [ trusted that the officers of the mendicity sock-ty i would keep a sharp look-out for these begging letter I impostors . He did sot blame Peel exclusively . ¦ Melbourne was equally as bad—" sure = uch a pair was never seen , how happy could we be withneither . " He trusted that tha people would step in their majestic power , and by ridding themselves of both , place the God of happiness amongst the household gods ^ of the people . When the news arrived of the fire in Hamburgh , in fifty-sis hours upwards of

      £ 12 , 000 was subscribed for their iclief ; and the subscription-sheet -was headed in the following manner — " We , merchants and others , having an intf-ref t in the trade of Hamburgh , " &c . During the last winter how many of the vrorkicg classes had empty cupboards—how many enduied every description oi mistry ; yet voa heard of eo £ 12 . 000 subscribed for them . ¦ It followed that the merchants and others had no interest in them . Mr . Havnes then congratulated them upon having the physical-force—the toTeh-and-riagger Dr . M'DGuall among them—him whom the Government ha-d-fomid necessary to put in gaol to keep qaiet , and inquired whether he had titttrtdany sentiments to which they did not cordially respond ? If the Charter became the law of the land , they conld hold a festival similax to the present , not once a year , but once a week ; thty conld have their intervEls of relaxation in the same manner as those

      neb ra = ca ! s who dow frequented Bath , Cheltenham , and other such pla ^ e ? . Air . Hsynes concluded a long address by snowing the progress the cause had lately made , and imprtS 5 r ; g upon the ladies present the neees ^ ty of following the example of those who went about collecting funds for the poor blacks , and the wicked heathen , things good enough when our own population were happy and comfortable . He was sure th 3 t if the ladies adopted the p ! aa of having a nice little black bag , with a subscription book at the bottom , they would manage the trading portion of the burners much better than the men , and their accumulations tvouJd be devoted to the noble , the humane purpose , of raising the human family from mi ? ery and oppressian to happiness and prosperity . CCheeriDg . ) The toast waa then drank with three times three , and onemore .

      Mr . Bradbear enlivened the company with appropriate harmony . The Chairman , after some appropriate remarks , introduced the next toast . Mr . Gotobed staled that he had been called upon . quite unexpectedly to speak to the following toast , ** The United Societies of Carpenters of Great Britain and Ireland , and may their efforts be concentrated in their central board in London , for theestablishment of an asylum for their aged and infirm members , be crowned with success . " He had been a member of their trade society in London for nearly twenty-seven years , and he had often felt surprise that no society of this defcription had been instituted . If any of them Bhould live long enough to be

      old what could they expect as their fate ? He had been a labourer in this cause many years , and he knew not how "he should epend his latter days , but he felt assured tbey bad but little to expect from any party bat themselves . It was their duty , then , to set about raising subscriptions for such a . humane purpose . If they depended for an asylum from other parties they would be bitterly deceived . Those amongst them who had battled in defence of labour's rights w . ould experience but little mercy from a race of capitalistists , and machinery had eo far deteriorated the value of manual labour as to leave th&'ji but small hopes of providing an asylum for them in old age , save by their united subscriptions .

      of ministers they would also get an alteration in the Poor Law Bill , but Graham had now undeceived them , and unless they adopted the plan of procuring an asylum by their own exertions , they would have nought to expect in their old age but the horrors of a Poor Law bastile . Mr . PRYoahad great pleasure in supporting this toast , bnt before entering into the subject he wished to contradict an error into whieh their Chairman had fallen , and one which he knew he would be glad to correct . Having presided over the two last meetings , politics , he could assert , were no new feature in their meetings ; he need only appeal to their exertions in the Combination Committees to prove thiB . It was true they were not gifted with the eloquence of Dr . M'Douall , or others who had

      addressed them . They were better acquainted , as had been observed , with the use of the jack plane , than with political speaking ; the active members of their society had ever been aware that their prosperity depended upon the correct distribution of political power , and that those who held political power , had ever been able to tyranise over those who possessed it not . Wifchregard to the toast , when they reflected upon the number and intelligence of the carpenters ' body in the metropolis , and upon the liberal manner in which they had ever struggled against every species of oppression , was it not surprising that they had so long allowed those who had expended their bodily energies in the course perhaps of a long life , to die at last in a union bastile I He was sorry that the resolution did not include females . They equally shared in the dangers and cares of this life , and were eqnally entitled to protection in their old age . Mr . Pryor then dilated at some length upon

      the benefits which society derived from the female sex , and concluded by earnestly calling upon them to shield their aged members of both sexes from the horrors of a workhouse , where they were separated from all that was near and dear to them , enclosed in a dismal bailding , where no eve could see them . Had not many rushed even upon suicide to avoid this fate . ! No nobler work could employ their energies than to raise an asylum to protect the aged , the infirm , and the unfortunate among their members . Mr . Porter , clerk to Mr . Chandler , builder , of Boar-lane , stated that his employer was anxious to assist them in this laudable undertaking by a yearly subscription , and he knew that many other masters would also be willing to aid in carrying out this object . It was also announced that Mr . Hill , tool maker , of Gray ' s Inn Lane , would assist them by a yearly subscription . The toast was then drunk with three times three , and Mr . Thomas responded to it by a suitable

      snng . The Chairman then introduced the next toast" the Ladies "—by informing them that Mr . O'Connell had stated at a public meeting that he should never have been awe to have carried Catholic Emancipation but for the energies of his wife . This showed the importance of females everting themselves in thiB cause . Mr . Crawley then proposed , in a brief and pithy manner , the following toast : — " The Ladies ; and

      may they see the necessity , and endeavour to instil into the minds of their offspring the spirit of exertion and independence . " Mr . Thomas had great satisfaction in speaking to this toast . He t nought it was a duty incumbent upon them to advocate the cause of the fair sex . The mind of man was never so fitted to respond as when under the influence of the near and dear ties which connected him with woman . The toast was then drank with the usual honours , and Mr . Rowe favoured the company with a song .

      The Chairman , in introducing the next toast" The Democratic Press "—stated that the editor of the Statesman , and the reporter of the Northern Star , were present ; these papers had nobly defended the interests of the working men , and he trusted they would support those papers . A full zecouht of that day ' s meeting would be contained in them on the following Sunday , and he trusted every man present would purohase the one or the other . If it was not for the aid of the press , meetings like the present would have but little effect ; but now their proceedings and their speeches would be conveyed to all parts of the kingdom .

      Mr . Robert Prior , in a very excellent address , proposed the following toast : —* ' The Democratic Press of England , and may the working Classes of England support those papers only which advocate their Rights . " Mr . Haynes , in speaking to the toast , stated that he trusted they should ever deserve the support of the public . He was pleased that the Chairman had classed the Statesman and the Northern Star together . It was his desire that they should battle together for the attainment of the People ' s rights . He knew of no paper which he could better take as a model than the Northern Star , which since its commencement had faithfully supported the interests of the working men . The Dispatch realized a profit of £ 30 , 000 a-year from the working classes , and he knew of no reason why papers , advocating their rights , should not prove equally as successful as the one which had vilified them as a body , and refused insertion to their statements , on the occasion of the mason ' s and other strikes .

      Mr . Wheeler spoke at some length to the toast , and eulogised the conduct of the Northern Star ^ as being the honest and consistent advocate of the working men . He was glad to see the change that had come over the spirit of the press since the presentation of their petition : he failed with satisfaction the establishment of every journal which would truly advocate the rights of labour , and trusted that the British Statesman would remain firm to the principles which it now advocated . The toast was then drank with three cheers .

      Mr , Jokas Wabtaaby proposed the following toast , which was carried amid loud cheering : — " The speedyliberation of Frost , Williams , and Jones , and this meeting pledges itself to use every exertion in favour of this object . " Mr . Wheeler proposed the health , of the Chairman , and expressed his high opinion of the liberal manner in which the day's proceedings had been conducted . This was carried unanimously . The Chairman , in an excellent address , returned his thanks for the honour conferred upon him . The ball-room was under the excellent superintendence of Mr . Cook , and the amusement of dancing was kept up by a very crowded assembly to an early hour , when the company separated , highly pleased with the day's proceedings .

      Our reporter cantot conclude his notice of this meeting without returning his thanks for the liberal manner in which he was invited , and also for the excellent arrangements which were made for his accommodation .
