      ARBROATH , —An epen-air meeting waa held on Bib Abbey Green , on tie 9 & instant Mr . Joseph ! Tyfe w * s nBsnimonsly called to the chair . Mr . Abr&m i Duncan spoke tor an boor , in a speech which was ! listened to with great attention , and carried conviction j to-ttjs -wai as ^ mbJage present , ^ wbicii could not be lea ' tf »» Ti between 2 . 000 sod 3 , 000 people . After concluding i hia address , Mr . Duncan mo Ted the following resolu-i tions , "which were seconded by Mr . William Fuller / and ; carried unanimously -. —1 st . " That a Society be now formed in Arbro&th , for drawing public attention to the unchristian nature of war , and be denominated 'The ArbraUi Peace Association / " 2 nd . » That whilst the chief object of the Asaociation be to establish in the public mind the principles that all wars are wholly

      inconsistent with Christianity , it al » may use all legal and Christian means to expose the iniquity , cruelty , and immorality of any particular war ; and to devote itself to bring abont that happy period when the nations shall learn war ^ no more . " 3 rd . " That although the efforts of tfee Association Bfaonld be directed to the enlightenment of all classes of the people , the labouring population should mainly be kept in view , as the class from ¦ which the great body of the army and n&Ty is drawn , and consequently the greatest sufferers under the present system . " 4 th . " That in the opinien of this meeting no person can be a consistent member of the Society who is employed in making oi selling any instruments of war . " After which this great meeting quietly separated .

      CB . El . TKNHAH , —iIr . Bairsfcow is turning Cbeltf T ' * T * " 'upside down : his lectures are bringing » U classes to their proper senses . He lectured on Menday and Tnesday erenings to crowded audiences , at the Mechanics' Institution , frefuently interrupted by the cheers and plaudits of the meeting . No man ever -woo the respect of all classes in the manner that Mr . SairStow has . At the close of the 3 &ctnres a -rote cf thanks waa proposed to Mr . Bairetow by Mr . GHenister , and seconded by Mr , Milsom ; and likewise a resolution pledging the meeting to adhere to the principles

      so ably advocated and defended by the lecturer , which wMcamedmianimoualy . SeTeral members were enrolled after each lecture . On Wednesday evening , Mr . Bairstow lectured at the Temperance Hall , Bain-road , to a crowded audience . The lecturer here went into Ms subject in an eloquent and forcible manner , crushing every folisb objection uroaDy brought against the Charter . At the close of the lecture eighteen members were enrolled . Three cheers were given for the worthy lecturer , and three for Tesrgas O'Comiot , Bsq ., and the meeting separated , highly delighted .

      OZtDHAIO- —According to previous announcement , calling npon the people to attend a meeting in the field behind the Albion Inn , at ten o ' clock in the forenoon . At the time appointed , great numbers were seen wending their way to the place of meeting . Mr . Abel Swan , of Asfeton , and Mr . Roberts , ef Warrington , delivered veiy appropriate sermons on the occasion . In the afternoon * at two o ' clock , Mr . Dyson , of Mossley , and others addressed the people . At these two meetings not less than 12 , 000 persons were present . Another meeting took place at Bix in the evening , consisting of as ooo persona . Mr . Edward Clark , of Manchester , and . Air . Dxson , of ifessley , addressed them , and gave great satisfaction . . All was peace and harmony .

      DTJNDEE . —The cause of the people is steadily progressing in this quarter . The town , is divided into districts , and each district is being formed into an association ; this plan seems to be "working bene * fidally for the movement , particularly in so far as at their wekly meetings , where the principles of tbe Charter are regularly discussed , a number are induced to give their attendance who were never in the habit of attending general meetings of the Chartists . On Wednesday evening last , one of these meetings waa held in Miss Easson ' s schoolroom , Middle Wynd , Hawkhill , Mr . Alexander Rankin in the chair . It waa addressed by Mr . Mitchell at great length , upon tbe absolate necessity of a thorough union , amongst the working classes , and

      Messrs . Adam , Graham , and others afterwards addressed them , - when a district onion was formed . We long had occasion to complain of the opposition of the middle-class men to our cause . The question was always put , when will the middle class come over to you ! Time , however , tells tales , and God knows we are getting over the middleocracy to us ** holns bolus" or in other words all in a lamp . We do noi ; assert that they are coming from a thorough conviction of the truih of our princi ples , er tbe necessity of acting upon tbezn . O no , but thank heaven what could not be accomplished by argument has been brought about by circumstances . What the ; could sot make out to see they are now compelled to feeL Tiie system is fast swelling tbe list of the non-eJeciors from the ranks of tbe shopocracy . Shop-shutting is the order of the day . Let a stranger enter our town from the harbour , and proceed along Union-street , and there he will find every third shop

      to let . Let him torn eastward via Higb street . Leogate , Blackscroft , & . c . &c and all presents to ids view , tbe same dull and holiday-lite indications of a want of trade . Tie fact is , that we need not particularise any one part of the town to find out the distress which exists ; for from the extremetles to its centre , it presents but one humiliating spectacle of departed glory . At this moment neither jeweDer , watchmaker , bookseller , draper , nor grocer , can manage to eke out a middle-class existence without having recourse fco what he has contrived to save in more prosperous times , or to the other alternative of eating up his stock . The working man is starving in bis everlasting clothes . He has no money wherewith to buy ihe common necessaries of life from tbe shopkeeper . Talk of converts to the Charter , indeed , this state of things will make more converts to tbe Char ter than all ( be arguments which could be adduced . ,

      BtTSSSRSFXEU ) , —The appointment of a delegate at a public meeting in Huddersfield , on Tuesday evening last , to represent the Huddersfield Chartistsv at the great delegate meeting at Manchester on tbe 16 th , fell upon Mr . James Shaw , of Marsh j and be received his credentials for that pnrpoae . Mr . E . Clayton was proposed to the meeting , and also Mr . Forster ; bnfc Mr . Shaw was elected by a large majority . After the election tbe following resotatkra was unanimously passed : — * That we , tbe Chartists of Hnddersfield , in public meeting assembled , cannot but express our deep regret at tbe occurrences of this day ; and while we

      cannot bnt consider the employment of the military and ciril power , nnder fee circumstances , as unnecessary and uncalled for , yet we cannot countenance any riot or disturbance , or any proceedirga likely to lead to a breach of the peace . The following persons are nominated as candidates to be elected on tbe General Council of the National Charter Association , by the Hnddersneld snb-Seereiaryi—James Rossll , calico printer , Coweliffe , near Huddersfield ; Joseph Bray , shopkeeper , Upperbead-row , ditto ; William Townend , smith , Chapel-hill , ditto ; Jeshua Hobson , Market-walk , ditto ; John Kel 3 oe , calico-printer .

      cahxxsXiE . —State of Pvblic Feeling xsi > LaBGE PCBLIC MeETISG , TO ELECT . A DELEGATE TO A . TTE 5 D THE Co > " 5 ESESCE IS MANCHESTER . —Since the news from Manchester reached us , tbe greatest anxiety and most feverish excitement has prevailed , more especially among tbe working classes . On Sunday alteruoon , the people assembled in Caldewgate ,, when the Third Edition of the Northern Star was read over , which created tbe most intense feeling of anxiety on the part of tbe meeting ; and arrangements were made to bold a public meeting in the evening , at Beven o ' clock , for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety ef sending a delegate to the Conference , to be held in Manchester on Tnesday . Previous to tbe public

      meeting , tbe Council arranged to lay the state of the funds before the meeting , with a recommendation not to send a delegate , but to instruct tbe Secretary to write io tne Conference , informing them of the state of the district , and tile willingness on the part of the people to abide bj whatever decision the Conference might come to . Mr . John Armstrong was called to the chair . He explained the object of ihe meetiDg , and palled on the Secretary to read over the third edition x > f the Northern Star , whieb was most earnestly listened to by the immense multitude , for there would not be fewer than from 1 , 600 to 2 , 600 persons present . The meeting then determined to ssnd a delegate to the Conference , and instructed the Council to make arrangeublic intbheld d io neiu

      ments for a meetg o e on Monay ments for a puouc meeting oo oa aj . wauaj j morning for that purpose . On Monday morning , a , deputation waited npon the Mayor , Mr . George , Mounsey , and informed him as to the real object of the meeting . The Mayor stated that be trusted j every thing would be conducted peaceably , and in such a way a 3 not to create any unnecessary excite- > ment , at the present moment . The deputation j assured the Mayor that there was no wish on the ; part of the people to mix themselves up with the ; strike . On Monday , at the time appointed , the ] people assembled in great numbers for the above ] purpose , when Mr . John Armstrong was called npon j to preside . The following persons were duly nomi- < nated as fit and proper persons to be cbesen i— j Mr . Henry Bowman , Mr . James Arthur , Mr . John

      Shepnard , Mr . J . B ; Hanson and Mr . J . Rontledge . Mr . Bowman and Mr . Hantledge both declined being put in nomination , after which the three remaining individuals were separately put to the meeting , when Mr . James Arthur was declared to be the person fixed upon as ddegate ; after which the following Tesblntion containing instructions to the delegate was unanimously passed : —At a large public meeting held on Monday August the 15 ih , in Rig-street , Caldewgate , for the purpose of electing a delegate to attend the Conference of the working

      classes to be held in Manchester on Tuesday , Aug . 16 th , it waa unanimously resolved , that the said delegate be instructed to give a full and particular statement ot the real condition , feelmgs and wishes of the working classes in this dictrict , and to say , that they will act in perfect consonance with the decisions of the Conference , and that they have no hope of anv improvement taking -place , in their wretched and degraded condition , until the people an put in possession of political power , by the ft topiion of the People ' s Charter . " A rote of thanks

      was then given to Mr . George Mounsey , mayor , for the courteous manner ia whJe ^ h he had received the deputation , which was carried unanimously , after which a vote of thanks was given to the Chairman and the people peaceably dispersed . It may be proper to state , that Mr . Hanson wished to decline in favour of Mr . Arthur , but if tbe other parties persisted he would most willingly stand . GRBENOCBL—An important public meeting was held here on Friday week , in the open air , to take into consideration the right of holding public meetings , and also to give au expression of opinion in the case of Mason and the others who are suffering with him , Mr . James Boyd was called to the chair , and opened the business in a neat and spirited

      address . He impressed . on the assembled multitude , which could not be less than from three thousand to six , to shew by their conduct this nighfc , that they were worthy of the privilege they are assembled to maintain . Mr . James Black proposed the firat resolution , which was to the folio mag purport : — ** That this meeting view with feelings of indignation the contemptable conduct of the Staffordshire authorities and their emissaries , in their late attempt to Btifle public opinion , by disturbing tho people of Sedgley , when peaceably and constitutionally assembled for tbe purpose of discussing their grievances , and also in apprehending Mason and others when they were guilty of no crime , as they were only giving expression to their feelings on the

      manifold grievances under which they now labour . " Mr . Peter Campbell briefly seconded it , and Mr . Joseph M'X . ean supported it in a speech of considerable length . It was then carried unanimously . Mr . Robert Burrell brought forward the second resolution , "That this meeting is fully convinced that the inhabitants of this country have a right to meet and discuss their grievances , whether national or local , when , how , and where they please , so long as they do not disturb the public peace , or infringe on the rights of others ; and that the disturbing or preventing of sneb meetings by any party or parties is unconstitutional , and ought to be resisted ; seeing that it is an undisputed fact that all government originated from , was deseigned to protect , and is supported by the whole people ; it therefore follows , that it oneht to be nnder their controul . That tho

      attempt to justify the eondacfc of the Staffordshire authorities by her Majesty ' y Ministers goes to prove that they are unworthy of the confidence of her Majesty , and we agree to memorialise her Majesty to dismiss them from office , and take into her Council men who will make the People's Charter a cabinet measure . " Mr . Thomas Milne seconded the resolution , and Mr . Samuel Kicid , from Glasgow , supported it . Mr . M'Lean proposed that the part of the-resolution " to memorialise her Majesty , " be struck out , and the words " that we are determined for ourselres , and would recommend it to the country to unite , seeing that it is only in ourselves that we can have any hope for a redress of our grievances , " be substituted . Mr . J . Johnson seconded the amendment , and it was carried unanimously ; after which the meeting broke up .

      NOTTINGSAWr . —On Sunday , Mr . Clark , of Stockport , lectured upon the Forest in the afternoon , and at Arnold in the evening .

      FACTORY TYRANNY AND THE CORN u AW REPEALERS .

      TO THE EDITOE OB THE NORTHERN STAB . Bnt , —Ab a specimen of the liberality and good intentions of the Corn Law Repealers towards the industrious and forbearing individuals under thoir control , I Bend you a copy of the rules stuck np for tbe edification of the cotton spinners employed in a mill or hell not a hundred miles from Bardsley , near this town , and the worthless proprietors are of the Cobden school of liberals . Those rules are adhered to with the most savage rigidity , and the persons to whom they do not ox cannot extend , whether male or female , are visited by these praiseworthy admirers of the big loaf with corporal punishment , in the event of the merest accident taking place , or their Work not answering their hardhearted employers , who , a few years ago , were practical operatives themselves , and now look down 'with scorn on all who toil for bread .

      They employ ten spinners , and it is well known in this town and neighbourhood that since their entry into the trade , they have had more than twenty seta of spinners : they are ever watching the poor Blaves while at work , just like policemen watching thieves ; and one of the parties is ever present from the starting time in the morning until they are liberated at night ; and the factory law is shamefully violated every day . The following are the rules potted up in each room : 1 . The spinners in this mill Bhall be paid for spinning one thousand hanks of forty's two shillings and threepenee , and for one thousand hanks of thirty-nine ' s , two shillings and twopence . 2 . If any spinner spins less than twenty-one hanks to the spindle , his price shall be two shillings and twopence , and if less than twenty hanks per Bpindle , one shilling and tenpence .

      3 * Every set of cops under fifty-six pounds weight sent in by any spinner , he shall be fined one shilling foreachset 4 . Any spinner lashing his cops under , or for general bad spinning , shall have nothing for that set or Beta . 5 . Any spinner throwing away any thing , or if his piecer should throw away any thing , shall be fined one sbiUiaf ? . "• . - ¦ ¦ - - 6 . Any part of the machinery broke While at work , to be paid for by the spinner .

      REMA . E . KS . The first rule may not admit of complaint , although the price is considerably lower than is paid on the same number of spindlea for the same work at many other mills . But the second rule is so unbearable that scores of useful and steady workmen have left this strong hold of tyranny sooner than submit to it , as accidents or other causes of ten prevent men from doing the length required , and yet no allowance is made for these daily casualties . The third rale has been put in force not a month ago , where the set was only one ounce above the fifty-six , pounds , and it is a physical impossibility which the employers well know , to make them always that weight , as tbe weather , the quality ot tbe cotton , the speed of the propelling pewer and other unforeseen causes , prevents , and a certain number of sets must be done or they undergo the penalty of the second rule .

      But the fourth rule is decidedly the worst , and clearly shews th avaricious propensity of the monster of liberality in Its true colours . The proprietors are the sole judges of this offence called " general bad spinning , " and it is very easy to find fault , as it rarely happens that two spinners make a cop the same shape or in the samd way ; aod if they have only been , in their employ a Bingle day the rules are enforced with all due rigour . Cops lashed under are not reckoned useless or rendered 80 , as they can be reeled ; aid it is not always the spinner ' s fault ; it often happens that the guiding wire ( technically called a falter ) is out of order ; all men cannot adjust them , and if they could , few places permit them ; the overlooker must do it or the wheels stand . ¦ - " ¦¦¦¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ -

      And bow iniquitous is the fifth rule , to mate man responsible for the faults or follies of another , who if he Waa to chastise or discharge for this same throwing , he would , as has been the cose before , get bagged himself . And then the villainy of the sixth rule which makes a man pay for all broken machiney , as if it would last for ever , but this role has often been enforced by the liberal and virtuous firm referred to . Homing you will allow the light of the Star to shine en the darknessB of these accursed " rattle boxes . " I am , &c , A Persecuted Cotton Spinner . Aahton , August 7 , 18 * 2 .

      Sir , this was no doubt Intended as an Insult of the most catting order by Mr . O'Conneil ; but , r think ; yon and every reflective man will regard it rather as the very highest triumph that the Irish Universal Suffrage Association could achieve over thete inest formidable and dextrous enemy . " Put your opponent in the wrong , " is his own favoarite axiom . How completely is this splenetic , peeviah , toolble , "« rindictl * e , and unforgiving old man put in the wrong here ! In order to gratify hia own bad passions , aod tbe malignant revenge which he feels for those who have struck the barb of truth through his hitherto-considered Invulnerable sides , and exposed the dark iniquities of his dealings with the pillaged and betrayed ItiBh peoplebe forgets the courtesy of a gentleman—he loses the

      temper of a philosopher and a etatesman—nay , by the mass ! he flings aside the dignity \ of an un-be knighted lord Ttiayor too—pitches the solemn recollections < A satin breeches , velvet robes , and cocked hat to the devil—and seizing with a hand trembling with age and enmity , the pen , he scrawls over the words of justiee and truth tbe syllable which exactly expresses the amonnt ol his regard for eitheif . " Bqh }'' for the Charter , and a button for Repeal !!! How thankful ought we to be that this man ' s weakness has here betrayed his wickedness ' . The publication of thVa letter , and its rldicnlous reply , will do more to undeceive the unthinking supporters of this huge incubus on the progress of real and ratienal liberty in Ireland , tban a thousand speeches . He Is already sensible

      of the re-action of the public mind , exemplified in the failingfunds of the Loyal ( hurobug ) Repeal Association .

The mendicant knows we have been greatly instrumental in traversing hlB designs on the pockets of the poor ; and hence bis rabid hatred of our Association . But hia reign , baaed on tiie ignorance and fatuity of a generous and unthinking nation ,

      draws to a dose .

      - TO THE CHARTISTS OF LONDON . sit FE . IE 5 DS , —I doubt not you will expect some account of my stewardship ; without further introduction I shall lay it before you . Left town on Monday morning , July 25 th ; lectured in tbe evening at Heading , to a good audience . A coin repeal gentleman , had spread tbe news of me being a very violent man . This feept some of our fair countrywomen , Who had previously made np their minds to honour me with their presence , safely stowed in their own domiciles . I find a portion of the middle class of this borough , have invited Mr . Lawrence Heywood , of Liverpool , to itand candidate on the Six Point ground . Mr . Heywood has accepted the invitation , backed by his friend Stnrge .

      Tbe Editor of the Nonconformist is foaming like a mad dog over the affair . The Chartists have received an invitation to lend their aid , and the proposal is under their-consideration . I doubt not Peel ' s scent keeps back the writ . On Wednesday reached Oxford ; found our friends had called an ont-door meeting for that evening ; was well received by Mr . P . Hurcomb , of Three Tuns-street , Ebbs , and all the sons of liberty in this famed city for the nourishing and suckling of parsons . The meeting in the evening was well attended . Messrs . Harcomb , Faulkner , and others addressed tho meeting .

      Tfeeir remarks on the evils of class legislation were of the first order ; these gentlemen are indeed doing their duty , being middle class men , whole hog Chartists , and guardians of tbe poor , Mr . Faulkner being chairman of tbe Board . An cat-door meeting was called for the next night ; the people nobly responded . After my addresg ME . Towle , the representative of Oxford on the Com Xa-w Conference , was called on ; he stuck well to their old song cf tbe Corn Laws being a question by itself , and tried his best , indirectly , to show me up to the meeting as a paid Tory » py . This did not answer ; the meeting "was for the Charier .

      On Friday , Mr . Clark , a freeholder of Witney , drove Messrs . Hurcomb , Faulfcner , and myself to Witney . Tfce bellman declined crying the meeting ; a young man took his post . We had , for this place , a grand meeting on the Green ; cmt-and-ont speeches from onr friends of Oxford , assisted by Mr . Clewer , the temperance lecturer ; the Charter was carried . The people gave proof of their determination to support its glorious principles . Mr . Clark is a Cobetite of the first water . On Saturday , left by coach to Cheltenham for Wicchcombe ; fcund friends waiting at the coachofBce . Left luggage ; started on tramp ; got to Winchcombe . at half-past eight in the eveniDg ; meeting waiting ; lectured in the open air . Next morning ( Sunday ) lectured in the open air at nine . At this place I had the pleasure of an interview with John Sexty , a youth about nineteen years of age , who wrote the poem you ' ve had the opportunity of reading in the two back Stars .

      Started back to Cheltenham . Lectured in the afterteraoon and evening , in the open air , to ? ood audiences . Left on Monday , August 1 st , for Gloucester . Lectured in the Theatre in the evening , the Rev . J . Davis in the chair . This meeting was not well attended . Our friend desired me to call a' meeting out-doors for the next evenirg . The Rev . J . DiVis again took the chair . There was ah esceHeot audience . I established a locality of the National Charter Association . Many took up cards ; and I doubt not the cause will progress well . ¦¦ "'" - - ¦' - "¦ Wednesday , visitei Stroud . Lectured in the Chartist room to an excellent audience , and enlisted recruits . The Chartists of this place are Indeed working manfully . Nought will beat the name of Charter from them .

      Lectured in the Market-place of Cirencester , on Thursday-evening , to abont seven hundred . This was the most attentive audience I have had the pleasure of addressing . I again established a locality of our glorious Association . Enrolled nineteen members . The work was not done by cards being taken on the spot . I doubt not that the master minds Of this * place will nobly back np our- friends of Stroud .. Travelled all night by train , to be in Trowbridge , en Friday . Attended supper by invitation . Addressed our friends . On Saturday , went to Melkaham . No meeting . " ' .- _ ... ¦ -.. ... .. the of

      On Sunday , Angust 7 th , lectured at village Brombam . On Monday visited Bradford } lectured in the Democratic Chapel , in the evening . On Tuesday lectured in the Chartist Room , at Westbnry . On Thursday lectured in the Market Place of Frome , to about 600 persons . The meeting was interrupted by one Brommell Knight , a Tory bully , who keeps tiie Crown , public bouse . This monster , tbe election before last , received £ 700 on the part of Shepherd , tbe present misrepresentative , for bribery—writhing under the philippic I gave him for his evil deeds , he got a pair of fools to back his efforts , but the good sense of the working men , soon put a stop to this trio , restored peace , and the principles _ of Chartism -weia tnnmphant . .- --- .

      TO THR ED 1 TOB OF THK NORTHERN STAR . Sib . —Although personally unknown to yeu , I feel not the slightest hesitation , where tbe steat interests of Chartism require it . in claiming a short space In your columns , and as little doubt that you will willingly afford your powerful assistance to your Irish brethren , fighting under many and almost overwhelming disadvantages , tbe great battle of liberty . Notwithstanding all that the true friends of the people have had to contend with here : the undisguised and bitter hostility of all those that batten upon the rottenness of the present system , and who , of consequeLce , hate the name and alms of Chartism ; the narrowminded prejudices artfully fostered by designing ; knaves in the minds of the lower classes , as they are termed .

      against every thing of English origin—and the jealousy of the Corn Exchange orators lest their dupes should at length open their eyes and button np thair pockets- — notwithstanding the covert insinuations and public denouncements to which we have been subjected by the licentious tongue of the arch-impostor himself , who beheld his craft io danger , and dreaded the diminution of the rint—raaugre all these obstructions , and in the absence of either wealth , influence , or great talent amongst us , perseverance alone has procured us success to this amount—that we have enrolled on our books at the present moment 1 , 000 men—that we have stripped Chartism of the hideous mask in Which intelligent roguery and superstitious ignorance had dressed it —•

      that we have set men a-thinking and a-talking on the subject—that thousands in oar city now declare they are ready to join our ranks , and impatiently await the moment when their capricious fugle-man shall have given the permissive signal— -that we have silenced . the second rate orators amongst the Repealers completely , and taken the squeak out of the " Liberator" himself . Added to which we forwarded the other day to Sharman Crawford , Esq ., a petition nearly the same as the . national one , subscribed by at least 3 , 000 genuine signatures J I much fear , however , that owing to ; Mr . Crawford ' s having left London on the day on which it arrived , that tbe petition cannot be presented till next session , when the signatures will of course be greatly augmented .

      At tbe suggestion of some in our Association who still entertain tbe lingering impressions of politieal childhood regarding the integrity of Mr . O"Conuell , I forwarded to him the following , it will be allowed at least , respectful letter : — Dublin , No . 26 North King-street , July 30 , 1842 . - . My Lord , — The Association to which I have the honour of being secretary are of opinion that they would net be acting with tbe lespect due to your Lordship , as the moBl leading political character in Ireland , were we to omit enclosing yoar Lordship a copy of the petition emanating from their body , and intrusted for presentation to Mr- William Sharman Crawford .

      My Lord , the main prayer of that petition is for an extension of tbe electoral right to every man non-convict of felonious crime , who has attained the age of twenty-one years ; in other words , fur what ( without being hypercritical ) may be justly , logically , and grammatically styled Universal Suffrage . We ate very well aware , my Lord , that tho regulations of the House of Commons do not now allow a discussion on tbe merits of petitions without a specific motion for the purpose ; but we also know , my Lord ,

      that legal ingenuity , which no lawyer living , perhaps , possesses to an equal extent with your Lordship , can do much to evade the stringency of such rules ; and I am , therefore , to request , on behalf of the body for which act , that should you approve of the contents of this petition , which is similar , though somewhat abated in tone to the English National Petition , which you supported , that you will render us all the assistance which your acknowledged ability and unquestionable adroitness can afford .

      My Lord , it would be : presumptuous in me , it would be mjust to others , to suppose that of the host of officiate and adherents by whom yeu are surrounded ; who are supported by your influence , and on whom is reflected the second-hand lustre of your great popularity ; none have been found hardy enough to inform you of the important , and in my mind , glorious truth , that tbe people of Ireland are rapidly learning , and as rapidly adopting the political creed of the Chartists of England .

      My Lord , our Association has now upon its books 1 , 000 members who have taken out cards , despite all the opposition afforded by those whom I will in charity suppose misunderstood our objects , or doubted the legality of our organization . It must be also Within the knowledge of those by whom you are surrounded , if not within your own , that thousands are predisposed , nay , eager , to join our ranks , were they not held back by those motives of prudence which master principle in mercantile men , that dread of denunciation which restrain * convinced but timid politician * .

      And yet , my Lord , when I find yon on the last day you attended tbe Corn Exchange , declaring that you knew of no other Association in Ireland than that there assembled , I am at a loss t » reconcile the assertion with the knowledge of the political state and feeling of the country which you should possess . With the troth and vigilance of those whose duty demanded cf them to apprise yon of the fact , that there is In Ireland a party who have determined that the name . of freeman shall cease to be a distinctive appellation in these countries ; who have resolved to devote their best energies to effecting , by strictly moral and legal means , the poUtical emancipation of the Slave population of this empire .

      . Yes , toy Lord , calculating upon obstruction and prepared for delay , we are yet determined to wcrk in tbe spirit , noi , of | faoatidazn , bnt : of enthusiastic pereeve
