NOTTHTGHA 3 H . GRA 25 D DEMONSTRATION , IN HONOUR OF
T . S . DUNC 0 M 3 E , ESQ ., M . P . In another place "will be fonnd a report of ihe proceedings at the nomination of candidates for the representation ol the bcreugh of Nottraehaa , which , however , though of itself interesting , merges into comparative insignificance when contrasted with the reception of the Poor Man ' s Friend : and England ' s Glory . Mi . Duncombe had been invited by the nonelector ' s committee to visit the to ^ ni of Nottingham , and , as is that gentleman ' s invariable practice , he instantly complied with the wishes of the unprivileged ¦ BBwashed . Wednesday evening , at half-past -five , wag the lour appointed for the arrival , a ? . d up to that moment all was bustle , anxiety and hope . At four the producers of wealth began to assemble in the spacious
market , and before half an hour had passed away ihe numbers congregated , and tie amount of flags "Waving in the breeze far surpassed in amount any icing of the Mad that had been witnessed within fee memory of man in tbe rotten electoral hole . "We cannot guess at the numbers , suffice it to say that Nottingham market , perhaps the largest in the kingdom , was covered , in marchtag , order , by tha countless thousands on their Tetnrn -with Mr . Duncombe . -Shortly before five tfdock , the joyous poor fellows , headed by a splendid bind , and joined bv some hearty souls from Satfon-in-AshSdd , and Mansfield , Chartist districts , thai are do churls of their population when the cause requires a helping hand , proceeded to the Station , where Mr . Dancombe was espsct-ed to arrive . " When ihe cavalcade reached the destined
spot , every eye was cast along the line of railroad , in the hope of catching the first glimpse , till at length , the wished-for moment came and one general shout of ** He ' s coming , " ran through the multitude ; vrhen ihe train arrived and -with it the ¦ pe ople ' s champion . In a moment , Duncombe made tas appearance among his admirers , escorted by -O'Connor and Cooper , to a carriage drawn by four splendid grey horses , and the shonfcrfrom the assembled thousands sounded and resounded ihron ^ hthe air and made the Station ring again . Wsthallno ; call it a procession , it wasnosnch thing , for every one wonld see Dnneomba , and , if possible , all would have leaped into the carriage . It "had none of the coldness , norjet the formality ofaprocessionjit was » jumping , joyous mass , moving on as best they could through ihe
crowded streets , and , as it moved its slow length along , Dancombe was cheered from the windows and roofs , and every standable place from nine in ten of every honse ; so the thing mo ^ ed on till the Market-place was reached , where Danccmbe iras to -speak , Mr > Dunue kindly tgering his spacious building ^ ss yliuSShgB . "When the . multitude reached the Market-place the scene was grand and imposing in the extreme . There was scarcely any moting room In the spacious ground ; and when all came to ¦ wedge into hearing space , the numbere astonished both 'Whigs and Tories , all admitting that even ihe CConusll procession was insignificant in comparison . One gentleman who etosd near us exclaimed . " Where the devil did thty all come from ?"
Jfot much &n » 'was lost m preliminary matters , Jlr . O'Connor , in a few words , introducing Mr . Dancombe to the meeting , and his reception was cheering in the extreme ; in short , noihiug could ¥ e more so , and language could not describe it . When the echoing tumult had partially ceased , he spoke as follows : — Working men of Nottingham , ha-ring understood that txcepnons have been taken to nay coming among you , or interfering in your local affair * ; tut iavicg been flattered by your coi-Sdence , eommuai-« ated to me through a desire to ascertain my opinion "With reference to the relative merits of two candidates claiming the honour of joar support , 1 should considsr myself -wanting in respect to yon and to jnyself , if I had withheld -my opinion from you—( cheers)—and how could 1 more perfectly discharge
the onerous duty imposed upon me by yeur confidence than by accepting your kind invitation , whereby the present pleasing opportunity would be afforded of giving you my opinion in person 1—Cloud cheers , and " yonr ' ewelcDme .

Gisborne I will frankly say that I consider him in every way qualified lo serve the cause of the working man in Parliament—( cheer?)—and I have ventured to pledge myself upon his behalf thai he will not fall short of your most sanguine expectations—( lond cheers ) . Of Mr . Walter , however , I know nothing ; and , as to the old gentleman , I h 3 Te a jjreai personal regard for him , and , as a Tory , consider him a 3 good as Tory could be ^—( laughter )—but 1 liked him better "when we used to sit and vote on the Radical side of the House
together—( hear , hear ) . But if he was the best man j in the world , a committee of the House of Commons i has sealed his doom , and put his nominatiod out of the question , and it is for yon , the electors of Nottingham , to say whether or not you are satisfied ' ¦ with this system of hereditary legislation attempted ' to be imposed npon you—( cheers and " no ") . Is the j mantle torn from ihe father to descend upon the son ' as a light 1—( no)—or b . 3 ? e we not already had ' enough and more than enengh of hereditary legis- l&tion in one of the Houses of Parliament 1 ( Cheers '• and " aye . " ) I am told that MT .- Gisborne has been charged with a desire to gei into Parliament for the purpose of supporting the Whigs ; but Mr . Gi 3- ' borne is s Shrewd man , ai * d a man of talent , and

If then you . give Mr .

Mr .

MR . DUNCOMBE'S MOTION ON THE TREATMENT OF UftTiUED CRARTIST PRISONERS .
Elsewhere we give , as promised in onr last , a lengthened report of the debate on this most important motion . We had purposed to accompany it by BOme lemalkfl in exposure of the horrible system , of entire absence of ail law proved by the facts developed in Mr . Dokcohbb'b speech , and of the miserable subterfuges to which the Atto £ NKY-Gex £ Kai was driven in his endeavour to screen the nnpaid" from the odium to which he most hare felt them to be well

entitled . Upon again reading the whole thing we desist ; for two reasons : it would be « n insult to the understanding of the simplest man in England to attempt a demonstration of that which is so manifest that nothing can hide it ; and the whole defence of the learned Atiormby-Generxl is bo palpably diBhonest , so rife with falsehoods , assumed , insinuated , or asserted , that to expose them would occupy considerably more space than the 6 peech itself . We OannOt pass by the most unfair reference to Mr . Whitb , whom he affirmed to have been convicted almost a
week before his trial came on . Was the Learned Gentleman speaking by anticipation ? i Had the Government " made all right" before the Judges went down—and was the trial , after all , a mere mockery and farce ! If it were not 80 , how in God ' s name came the Attobney-General to be so well informed about the matter as actually to speak of White ' s conviction , as confidently , several days before it happened , as it if had been always a thing of history 1 There is also a most petty and ungentlemanly attempt to fix . upon Mr . Leach a charge of falsehood , that coming from the Attorney-General deserves especial notice . Leach ' s petition stated : —
" Thatyout petitioner appeared at Liverpool , when the first caatge upon which your petitioner was arrested , and after suffering thirteen days' confinement under the circumstances mentioned , the indictment against your petitioner was abandoned , and , as he believes , from a Knowledge the prosecutor had that his witnesses were most grossly and foully perjured , and that your petitioner had ample means to prove them so . "' He ( the Attorney General ) did not know whether the witnesses had been peijured oi not , but he fcneV this , that in Liverpool the indictment was found , upon which Leich appeared at Lancaster , and so far from the charge having been abandoned , he was convicted on the clearest evidence . "
Now , a more beggarly , insidious , and unfair mode of dealing with a [ matter was never had recourse to than is here instanced ! Leach never said that the indictment to answer which he appeared at Lancaster , was not found at Liverpool . But Leach did say , and the Attob . net General knew it to be fact , that " / Ac first charge" against him WAS abandoned at Liverpool . But the whole is of a piece . We only call upon people to read it , and then to _ ask themselves if ever man and advocate cut so
miserable figure as the poor Attorney-General while dragging through this filthy mess , in which the temerity of middle-class mill-owning magistrates had involved him . Wo are not willing to take his defence of the magistrates as any fair portraiture of Sir Frederick Pollock . It is merely the necessity imposed upon the office of Attorney-General ; from which we have no manner of doubt that \ the man and the . gentleman revolted with a loathing as perfect as the nasty mess was calculated to inspire .
But what a lesson does this teach of the system Talk of one law for the rich and another for the poor ! Why the whole touor of the debate on this motion and of the facts stated by Mr . Dl ' . ncombk , prove conclusively that this ^ is a most mistaken sentiment ; aud that in reality , wo have no law , either for rich or poor : but that the rich do whatever they please , and protect each other in the coing of it . Thus it is ; and thus it must be till the people take the power of making and administering the law into their o \ ra hands .

MR . GEORGE WHITE'S TRIAL . The impossibility of our having , in every part of the ; Empire , reporters , specially engaged for this paper has laid us nnder great disadvantages in getting anything like a fair statement of the various trials . In the matter of Cooper's trial , though the London press gave the evidence at great length , and the opening speech of the prosecutor , ihe defence was shora of its fair proportions most unduly , and we had no means of remedy . We have this ( Thursday ) morning received from Mr . White the following letter : — '' 38 , Bromsgrove Street , Birmingham , April 5 th . 1843 .
Dear Sir , —The reports of the daily press , concerning my trial , are exceedingly , meagre , and in moat cases incorrect ,. and as it was utterly impossible for mo to supply a correct one , I trust that you will no * publish , the Times version of it The best that I have seen is contained in the Homing Post , and Horning Chronicle , in both of ¦ wirch the moat important points of my defence are overlooked ; of course they took their report to suit themselves . I have been acquitted of the charge of riot and unlawful assembly , and found guilty of seditious language , which language was never ottered by me . I shall have to appear , with the rest , at the Queen's Beach , next term . ? s Toon truly , George Whixe ,
This was intended merely as a private letter ; but , under the circumstances , we think it no more than justice to Mr . White to publish it ; as we bad before getting the letter taken the trial from the Times ; thinking it the fullest report . In a later edition of the Times , we find also a report of the proceedings , so far as they went on , in the other indiotment against White , which was stopped on the delivery of the verdict in the first case , and the Jury discharged by consent . After which it is stated that : — " Mr . Baron Alderson Intimated that he was disposed to pass sentence at once .
•¦ The defendant expressed an earnest desire that it should be postponed , and that be should bo petmltted to come up for judgment ia the Court of Queen ' s Bench next term . That had been the course adopted with those tried like himself en the civil side in the Lancaster aud Staffordshire cases . He bad expected to be dealt with in the same way , and skould be taken unawares by sentence being now pronounced . His wife wat expecting him borne . " Mr . Baren Alderson said , that a recent Act Of
Parliament gave the Judge of Assiza the power of passing sentence with the view of preventing publio inconvenience . He foresaw that the Court ef Queen ' s Bench would be stopped up , and the publio business much impeded , and this should be avoided . The prisoner , too , Would else be put to expense and trouble in attending the Court of Queen ' Bench day after day , perhaps for a considerable time ; and he thought that it would be better for him that sentence should be now pronounced .
" The defendant said that be would rather come up to the Court and take his share with the rest , as his recognizances provided that he should do . •¦ Mr . Baron Alderson—Does the Crown deaire judgment to be now pronounced ? " Mr . Sergeant Adams—No , my Lord ; we leave it entirely with your Lordship . " Mr . Baron Alderson—Well , the Crown doosnt press it . There is a reason operating with me , which is , that I understand that at Warwick Gaol , to which place alone 1 could commit , there is no provision for persons like yourself . The Court above will have the power to send you to the Queen ' s Bench , or any other in England . I will accede to your request , and bo 1 shall get rid of the inconvenience of having to execute any judgment in the matter .
" The Defendant—My Lord , of course youll have a voice in it * ' Hr . Baron Alderson—No , I shall not , or I'd give you the benefit of it ' " The defendant trzts proceeding to express his thankfl to the Learned Judge generally for the manner in which he had presided at these trials , when he was stopped by the Court , " Mr . Baron Alderson observing , it 1 b much better that JudgeB should not be thanked ; they only de their duty to the best of their ability , -which does not call for thanks ; were they to do less , they ought to be punished .
" [ It is due to the defendant to mention that he evinced no disposition vexatioualy to protract the case and . behaved himself extremely well throughout , snd so si to obtain the good opinion of the Judge and Jury , and of the Counsel for the prosecution . ]" Let ft be noted that the paragraph last quoted is the Times' opinion of Mr . White ' s conduct at the trial . Sur « ly the rabid physical force man whose Irish brogue" called forth the sneers of the 77 me « inihe early part of his defence mast hate produced a powerful impression upon decent men when the ribald eneerer makes this admission on his behalf .

ORGANIZATION . MR . O'CONNOR'S NEW PLAN . We refer with great pleasure to the plan of Mr , O'Connor for a New Exeoutive , detailed in his letter . It is well deserving of publio attention and consideration . Let the people read and ponder well upon it . Let them exercise their judgments freely . It is a matter of vital importance to our movement and Mr . O'Connor will not , we are quite sure , regard any section of the people as paying him any compliment if they should adopt it , simply because it his , without examination . He wisi ^ only that some mode should bo adopted calculated effectual ! v
to serve the object of concentrating our energies and of preventing the people or the cause from being sacrificed by any folly or treachery that might possibly arise among those who , as the Executive , would be entrusted in a great measure with the keeping of the people ' s interests . Without at all reviving or wishing to revive any matter of discussion on the conduct of the last Executive , we may advert to tho fact that many circumstances have combined to evince the necessity of some such
regulations as those which Mr . O'Connoh here proposes in the Council of thirteen and in the publio Treasurer . We think also that past experience has quite sufficiently demonstrated the necessity of some check upon the amount of " responsibility , " which so small a body as an Executive Council of five might be disposed to assume ia the putting forth of documents by which the whole body might be compromised , and the liberties of our best men endangered .
We have read with soms degree of care Mr . O'Connor's pUn ; and wo have no hesitation in avowing our conviction that its arrangements are admirably adapted for the remedy of eome very serious' mischiefs from which we have before suffered ; and for which remedies must bo provided before the Organizition can be again put into that Btate in which the people either can or ought to have confidence in it ; while at the same time we think there are parts of it which require to be carefully reconsidered , and , perhaps , to be considerably modified . We think also that there are some
matters for which it is absolutely necessary to make provision , and for which this plan of Mr . O'Connor's does not provide We fear also that some of the arrangements contemplated by this plaa might , because of tho stringent character of the law , be attended with some considerable difficulty , if not doubt . And though it might be thought that we are stepping off our proper ground , and invading the " legal territory" which comes more naturally under Mr . O'Connor ' s own inspection , we are yet certain that he will take kindly our solicitude that any new effort which the people
may now make may be quite sure to be all right and safe . " Upon all these matters , we shall , in all probability , speak more fully hereafter . We now point attention to them as proper subjects of deep and anxious consideration for the people . We would gladly hear tho people's own thoughts upou them , before we enter into details . We hare never been disposed to set up our own opinion with any undue prominence , though wo have always conceived the people to be entitled to its houest expression whenever we imagine that we can thus serve them .
The spirit in whioh Mr . O Connor has put forth thia " Skeleton of a Plan , "—his anxiety that it should be canvassed and sifted by the peoplehis wish to receive the suggestions and assistance of all , that the plan may bo improved , if possible , may bo corrected , if in any poiut illegal , —and made in every respect practically efficient—cannot be too much admired : It iB the very spirit in which all propositions for public acceptance ought to be made , and which the importance of the subject especially demands in this matter .
We rejoice to see the care with which Mr . O'Connor eeeniB to regard the " legality of every point . " We think with him that it is most important to make Chartism a thing of whioh none need be legally afraid . There can be no doubt that our cause has derived an impetus , especially in certain quarters , from tho proceedings connected with the late trial . That advantage is owing not more to the exhibitions of talent which wore mad « than to the proofs whioh were afforded of the earnest dotermina .-nation on tho part of most of those who have led
the movement , while they took every opportunity of asserting and enforcing their principles , to abide by such means aa might comport with and conduce to the peace and good order of society . We have made thus an advance in publio estimation ; our cause has received an advantage , but it has been purchased at a dear rate , and we cannot afford to repeat the purchase . Besides any further exhibition of the same kind would only tend to lessen the advantage we have gained by this . We must now , therefore , endeavour to proceed safely . We must Kke care that our organisation be within the law ,
andwemust take care to abide by our organisation , when established , and to see that it is enforced on all ; no more tampering with it by our own officers—no more involving of the oause and the party in the ' responsibility" whieh individuals ohoose to take upon themselves . Each man must now learn to know his own place and keep it . It is quite possible so to direct our movements as that the law shall be compelled to work with us and for us ; and this must be done . Every publio act , every movement of the body , must be made conformable to rule , while the rule is made conformable to law . We shall then , as a body , be safe ; our onward progress , at whatever speed , will be onward ; and not as it has hitherto
been , circular , coming back always to the same point whence wo started . We see much in this " skeleton of & plan ; " that will go a loag way towards securing those desirable objects . We wait anxiously for the filling-upof the " skeleton , " which we trust will be found to effect it fully , and also to lay before the poople something in the shape of an immediate and practical application of our own principles , to cheer and aid us in our struggle , to make them ultimately triumphant on the broadest scale . We are most happy to see in several of the master-minds of the movement aoraving , simultaneously , manifested after something practical—some present embodyment in useful results of our principles and energies . We claim attention on this head to the following extract of a
private letter , written in February last , from one of the most intelligent , as well as honest , of our leaders , to a person whom it will be seen he was wishful to put in ; nomination for the Executive : — "My dear Sir , —With the contents of your letter I am highly gratified . It tells me that if you can bo prevailed upon to accept the office of one of the Executive , and if the people will only elect you , that the best results will How from your appointment .
" I have for a considerable time past been of the opinion that Chartism needs reformatioa—that nearly all we are bow doing is labour lost . We appear to go the ronnd of one circle over and over again . Behold the round we tread : agitation—EXCITEMENT—OUTBREAK — PERSECUTION—APATHY , *—and then , when the imprisoned get free , we have more agitation , more excitement , until we finish off with persecution and apathy again . We are doing nothing practical . Why should we not 1 The Socialists , if they move slowly , are doing something . We are doing worse than nothing . I am not quite so wild as I was four years ago ; and though equally as good a democrat , I now see , what I could not see then , that roaring multitudes will not of
themselves ever bring the Charter . As yet we ( as a people ) have neither the virtue to get the Charter by moral means , nor have we the courage nor means to take the Charter by force . It is oiroumstahoes , backed by the increasing intelligence of the masses , to which I look for the carrying of tho Charter . Could we not , then , ( without leaving anything undone wo are n « w doing oalculated to accelerate the obtainment of that measure , ) do something practical in the meantime ; something whioh would shew the world we would know how to apply legislative rights when we got them for the remova . 1 of the social misery existing ! I believe we co > ild . I believe we must come to something of the sort ; and the sooner tho better too . Now , I believe you are just tho man calculated to commence that reform of the movement : and so
Untitled Article
thinking , it is my earnest desire to see you at the Executive Board . I am weary of Chartism as at present conducted . Lei us prove by acts and deeds that yre are fitted to legislate , and depend upon it , so far from retarding , we shall greatly accelerate the triumph of the Charter . " More I cannot say now ; when the gods permit I will , on these matters , by letter or otherwise , say something more . " Anent the same matter , we have also , this week , received a letter from a gentleman whom , though he be not very prominent in the movement , we know , and feel proud to know , aa one who 3 e strength of mind and sterling honesty deserve much attention . He writes as follows : —
•• Sir , —1 hope you will allow me ' a small space in the columns of the people ' s paper , it ia the first time I ever asked you the favour , and the reason I do 80 n ? W is , because I believe that the time has now arrived for us , aalChartiat * , to make a further advance , in order to accomplish that which you and I , in common with the rest of our Chartist brethren , have so much at heart—that is , equal justice to all , and happiness to all the human family . I feel convinced that oar long and arduous agitation must have proved to every reflecting individual , as well as to the world at large , that when the people are properly united , their pewer is omnipotent . [ Who is he that has beheld , and has not admired , the noble conduct of our unwashed and illiterate
artisans sallying f rth from their workshops , and mounting the hustings for the purpose of discussing our glorious principles with the classic and refined aristocrats , and proving unto them , and to the world , thfit our principles &re based upon justice , and therefore they are immutable ? " I am not aware of any meeting having heen properly convened for the purpose of discussing our principles , t where they have not bnen always triumphantly carried ; save and except in that small market-house of incurables situated upon the banks of the river Thames , where they make errors by hundreds , and squander the people ' s money by millions .
" As ; Chartist 3 wejdo not profess to have the gift of prophecy ; nevertheless , we always knew that certain causes would produce certain effects , and knowing , as we did ; that the maladministration of class legislation , and the improved and still improving state of machinery would ultimately bring on national distress ; knowing this , we asked for our political rights to be conceded unto us , in order to empower us to alter the institutions of our country , so as to enable us to prevent so dreadful a calamity ; but instead of our just rights being conceded unto us , our petitions have always been
treated with contempt by a large majority of the members of that House which is falsely called the people ' s Hoaae ;•; and also most of those out of that House , who move in rather a higher sphere of society , aa they term it , have treated us and our principles somewhat uncourteously . The reason why some of them have done so , I believe , is because they have been quite ignorant what our principles are ; others have misrepresented us , because they thought it were tLeir interest to do so ; but , if I am not greatly mistaken , such individuals are finding it out that they reckoned without their host .
" Well , let us persevere onward , and as sure as two and two make four , if we only unite our agitation with a firm eo-operaUon , we shall prove unto the slanderers and the waverers that we are still progressing in the right course . " Now , Sir , for our onward movement Daea not our great champion , and virtuous patriot , QConnor , cry out " THS LAND , " and you eeho to the cry , and I follow in the train , and say " THE LAND ; " but the question which now arises is , is the land to come unto us , or we are to go unto the land . I eay tee must go to the land . Well , then , if we are to go t « the land , some plan must be { adopted to come at the means . " Well , Sir , we all know that many pence makes a pound , and one million pence a week will realise a sum of four ^ thousand one hundred and sixty-sis pounds , thirteen shillings and fourpence weekly .
" Now then , brother Chartists , if this sum could be placed in the hands of ad Executive , every week , for the purpose of being judiciously laid out , would it , I ask , weaken our present position ? I unhesitatingly say it would : make us doubly strong ; but anxious as I am to see either this or some more improved plan carried into operation , 1 know it cannot be accomplished ia one week ; it will have to be the work of time : but if it be taken ; up in the same spirit that the Trades' Union was , the time will be short , and I say be that haailb in his power to subscribe and does not do bo , I cannot believe Mm to be sincere when I hear him wishing that society was regenerated . Talking is very good in its place but , in my opinion , the time has now arrived when it behoves us to act as well as talk . Now , if it be adviscable that an experiment should be tried , some plan mast be hit upon in order to eet it agoing . I
would beg to suggest the propriety ef calling a small conference ; such eonference to be composed of a few of the best minds that can be selected from the Chartist ranks ; say one from Yorkshire , one from Lancashire , and one from each of the other counties ; the said delegates to meet in some central place . * We , your frienda at KeigWey , were amongst the foremost to form' a political union previous to the passing of what was falsely called the . Reform Bill , and we are now ready to assist in placing Chartism upon a more solid basis than it hitherto has been . Let us hasten to pace ourselves in this formidable position , and then jif we kn > ck at the door of St . Stephen ' s , whether Peel or Russell be the gate-keeper , they will politely let us in . ; " | remain . ' " Youra in the cause of Democracy ,
; " Joseph Fiuth . " Keigbley , March 21 , 1843 . " These sentiments are worthy of earnest consideration , coming , as they do , from one of labour ' s nobles . These ( are evidences of the turn the publio mind is taking . We rejoice to see them : they are proofs that our labour has not been in vain—that the seed which we have sown is showing itself already in the blade , and will yet ripen in the full ear . We have yet much to say upon this subject of remodelling our movement . We shall return toit again and again , and lay our own thoughts before the people . Meantime we commend it to the careful consideration of Mr . O'Connor ia the filling up of his " skeleton ; " we have had no communication with him on the matter , but should be glad to have . We fael earnestly desirous that our new Organisation should
be perfect ; that it should embrace every advantage , and guard against every disadvantaRe ; hence , we advise the people to take time , to deliberate , to weigh well every point , to give , through the Star , the benefit of their opinion , to those who maybe occupied in preparing measures for their consideration and acceptance . Let , it however , be noted , thao whilst inviting from all the expression of their opinion , we do not offer general license , and promise general indulgence , toevery man who can spin cut a letter of a column or two in length . What we want are not writers and essays , but hints and observations ;¦ short , pithy ^ and to the point—telling what the letters mean , without waste of words . Unless this caution be observed , our space may be unduly occupied , and we may be obliged to offend many by suppression or curtailment .
We think no steps should be taken for appointing an Executive until the re-organisation of the people has been agreed to and determined on .

A little before the hour of nomination , an interview took' place between him and Mr . WilliamB , in tbe presence of their respective friends . Tbe Chartists not being bo well prepared as was desirable agreed , on condition of Bright declaring his attachment to ana readiness to support
their principles , it was agreed that Mr . W . should retire . To this Bright consented . The candidates having been nominated , they addressed the people , about 2 or 3000 , at great length . Bright , in the course of his address , declared Mb views on tho suffrage question sufficiently dear to bind him to the support of the principles of the Charter , ' but did not dwell upon them . The show of hands -was immensely in his favour . On the following day ( Tufsday ) the polling commesced at eight o ' clock .

PHENOMENON GREATER THAN THE COMET . The csmet without head or tail , without definablo dimensions or proportions , Is a phenomenon of no ordinary character ; the earthquake under our very noses , that frightened all who heard its rumbling , save one sturdy policeman , had its shake aud passed away—we hope to come no more ; " Cold water cores the gout , the cholie , and tbe pb thy sic ; And it Ifi for all men the very best of physic ;*
monamania is having its turn , new policy , new moves , new inventions , new tricks , new scbemos , new men and new measures , are all passing before us in quick succession . All have their day , and fleet away . But of all the phenomena that have been presented to the curious in those wonderous times of wonderful things , we know of none that can stand in fair comparison with the " People's Charter . " It is not more than three years since the headsman of his day proclaimed the decapitation of tbe monster , when lo ? as by magic , it presented itself , as if in
mockery of the boast , in increased size and vigour Tbe Tories taunted tbe Whigs with their pigmy attempts to ^ pnt the giant to death , and besought jtoe * privilege of entering the lists against it . No claim so strong to middle class affection as that which promises to annihilate the defence of labour against capital ; and to no circumstance did the present administration more owe middle-class toleration of ^ lory rule than to that hopo which was strong in them , that a strong Government " would accomplish what the Whigs bad failed to effect . *
The first Tory tournament at Lancaster was looked forward to as an extinguisher of Chartism , or at least as a means of deterring all good subjects from any avowal of this " damnable doctrine . " Before tbe principle had gained strength from persecution , the advocacy of it by an overseer , a shop boy , or a bankrupt shop-keeper , was hailed with unbounded enthusiasm , when behold , after tbe many attempts to subjugate it , and in spite of revilings , ravings , and persecution , we find noblemen of talent
bo&stingly arraying themselves nnder its banners . What should we have thought if , fonr years ago , we had read ihe speech of Lord Ranclipfe , which appears in our present number ! We , like others , would doubtless have looked npon him as a monomaniac , aud as a fit aud proper subject to be handed over to the tender keeping of Dr . Sutherland . Sure we are that those who eke would have considered a nod of recognition from his Lordship , as food for a week ' s gossip , "would have cnt him dead ; while , upon Wednesday last , tbe declaration of the Noble Lord
was received with one universal burst of acclamation , testifying not merely his sanity but his foresight . We are not in the habit of attaching any great importance to the declarations of our nobility ; but when we find a Nobleman of character , of talent , and of stake , not for any personal object , nor with a view to his own aggrandisement , boldly and manfully proclaiming his approval of the despised and persecnted principle , even with the fresh stripes of Government persecution on its back , we see in that something to valae , to admire , and to rejoice at . Lord
Rakcliffe has declared himself a Chartist , unequivocally a Chartist ; and npon an occasion , too , when policy would have dictated a more cautions oonrse , to a leBS honest politician , Lord Rancliffe knew that Mr . Gisbobkk had been forced by tbe Chartists upon the Whigs , and that the less said about ChartiEm tbe better , for the immediate purpose : but no , says Lord Rakclifpe , it is not
to be the question of a day , it is to be the principle of tbe age , and I will not damn it with the brand of Expediency . Lord Rakcliff , as a landed proprietor , or as an English nobleman , is not afraid to cast his land and his title npon the waters of Chartism . Wnat a rebuke to those pigmy revilers who oppose the principle upon tbe false presumption , that by its adoption their superiority over their fellow-men would be lost .
From the lateness of the boor at which we received the proceedings at Nottingham we have not this week been able to say &Q much npon tbe subject as its intrinsic merit demands in our nest we may recur to it , in the hope of making the conduct of as honest English nobleman , a pattern for the " ahoy hoys , ' who would receive a nod from his Lordship as a favour not to be forgotten .
