      LONDON . FtTBLIC MEETING OP FOREMEN IN THE THREE LEADING * BUILDING BRANCHES . A meeting mt beld , on Monday evening , November 1 st , es she Hote is the W » U , H «* - * tr « , fc , to consider the propritty of forming m onion far mutual protection . Tbe meeting n called by » dverti «« anentB in the ^< ftw-Uttr and JFeeVy Dispatch , rtating that nena bat foreman over fifteen mai was invited to attend . Mr . Lock ni called to the chair , and briefly addressed them- _ . _

      M t . CAiisos had taken npon himself the re » ponaibllity < rf calling this meeting . He believed the object was a goed use , especially when they took into consideration the peculiar dxcnnutaBfies of tho strike at the House of Lani £ —that of the whole of the men combining to isj are the foreman . He would not enter into the case of G « : rg = Allen j bat foremen bad & duty to perform ; ana th-j * were at time * obliged to adopt stringent measbivs : &sd he h&d always obserred that it tru the most -worthies * part of the men employed who made Eb * m-. it noise , and were loudest in their outcry , against fbc 3 c u ^ tisaa ry measures . Foremen were placed in an aw ^ K-ii " . position ; they had to carry out the works

      'with a profit to tbelr employers , and wen compelled to Be strict ; bat if conduct like that of the ' men to Allen verb to be submitted to—if they were to be allowed to eombic- to croih one man , what would be the congaqnenc ? Why , the same spirit would spread through er ^ ry yti \? - % e , town , and city of the empire . Tbls was M } xt 2 iy the case ; many of Allen ' s men were now working under a foreman in their establishment , and he bad tlrerwy felt their insolence . He was almost afraid to « pe ? . k to them ; they would neither work , nor let others work . He had toid him that his little boy would ( tn : raore money—( name )—be did not feel compiled to give it- He had already been told that he was a greater tyrant than AUen —{ name . )

      Mr . Fry , foreman of the masons—I feel that by taking the step I have dune , I ran the risk sf losing tfee esc&em and respect that for many years I hare aejoved amongst the men ; bat I feel that I am doing jay dot / to myself and employers . The Busters hare bo right to bear the wh ? le of the expeaee and the burden of these strike * against foreman . If the example spread , masters might be necessitated to discharge many of them , and then a society like the one he wished so establish would be able , at leaft . fcoiftd them nployment : the Rood effects of it had bee&aftenin © t

      « be C ^ tk the Works Society . Jowmen over large Job * w » re aUsott « wipeUed to be Irritable . If Thad fceea ia AlieoVpiaee , it is likely I might have acted ia a si-rfaar manner ; aad were they to be struck against in tiiis manner , without a causa ; to hare their names branded ; to be held up to detestation by those who wtre ^ - ^ t . j » the { least respectable portion of the menwho lived opon agitation—who lived upon the sub-• crip J . . Us of their fellow men—men who made a stir about privileges , because they could earn more by that ttk&a iiv t ' jf-ir work ? If they carried oat their abject , he WsaJa advise them to elect & committee to form &

      Ztuc . e-3 . and to keep out disreputable characters , the lemsicl-r to fee elected by Ballot He would conclude by moving the following resolution : — . " Tint it is the opinion of this meeting , after taking into consid-jation the strike at the House of Lords , and oralc ' srio : the result which might happen to them m individuals in a similar sita&tioa , that it is advisable to form a S- > cie * y for mutual protection against sim ^ ar p «> - ¦« eed " mp in future . " Mr . HiRTiEY . Mr- Thomas Jackson ' s , Pimlico , teesitzi tberesolution . A prnrjn hera expressed a hope that they did not Sie&n tj interfere between the masters and men now on atriie . Mr . Carsox sa : d they had no intention of doing so The gii ^ B -. ' . e . was thrown down , and let them fight it oat ; b'i ; - i ' . ea bad Societies , mtsters had Societies , arid he "s-aiitfcd one for foremen ; for if this spirit spread , it would be necessary .

      Hi . . I hare a party of men from the House ¦ 0 ? Lords working for me . There is not one but what does his duty . I bebave well to them , and they to me . I HL- _ ke ay ey « serve instead of my tongue . I hare k& 07 n Allan for years , and I know nothing against him bat bis temper . It is my opinion if a foreman is just t- the men , they will be just to ths master . Mr . Co : ; swxil , Mr . Cubitt ' s , slid—I have no objection to form a Soriety for oar own protection ; but 1 eanmt vote for the resolution . It defends ' the conduct - < rf AUea . The ibotm of it says , that from all be had beard or ^ s&d , Allen bad not committed-himself more than b-- had . I cannot agree with this . I employ » ar . v & : t > 8 msn , and hare full justice done me . It eoalJiot be supposed that these men struck against

      All = n for fun ; that they are enduring hardships and print : jn merely for the excitement of a strike . I ¦ Knnct v' -to for tfca resolution . Oar situations may not last for crer ; we may ourselres be placed in a similar position , and be cempelled to act as tbey haTe done . I -am acquainted with a foreman on tbe same job &s AJten , -t the same place ; and I aiked his candid Opinion c ? i the strike . He said there was no question « s to their bein ? perfectly justified in striking against him ; ' ner would nerer hare done it if Allen bad eon * -dscitd fciiaself as a man ought to do . ( " Name . " ) It w"oul < i : Djare him , and he wc-uld not gire it Allen ^ d eo * -ieserre ttie support of the meeting ; the masons had ii- «? j ; 3 scted respetifuily to him , and if he did not ppr ¦ rv of tbeir conduct be should discharge and not biaektoaid them .

      Mr . J . Ka . t ssid he bad no objection to forming a -society for mutual protection : it was as necessary for their projection from the employers as from the men ; but be arreed with lbs last speaker fcsi tbey sboula "keep jkl . i ^ r from the stake . He was sure no one ia the room e ^ T >! d justify tbe conduct of * ABen . If lie bvl ¦ fifty hands he woalu bold ibem up against tbe resolution aa it was now worded . The name of Allen would be no credit to them . If ths mea were treated & ¦ men , Uiey would 60 a fair day ' s work . A srroc ^ feeling , on the part of tbe majority , being eriiieeS h > . favwr of the masons on strike , two or three left the room .

      2 ! . r . C . vk * o . f was yery willing to alter the resolution . Perhaps it might be more adTisable to put it off to » ome fr . ' str time . He had fallen intean error in wording it ; L-nt he was glad to be put right It might seem that tbe meeting , at this particular time , intended to apport Mr . Alien ; but he begged to deny baring any SDch intention . He only wanted to form a Society far their icnraal benefit He disclaimed the conduct attributed iv George Allen from his heart's core . He would kick such a man ; it is a dreadful doom , though not more than he deserved . He would witkdraw the former Teaoiction , and propose this : — " That , in * tha opinion of tois meeting , it is desirable io fc ^ r-i 3 . Society of foremen ia t ' building trades , for jnutui '; protection . ** Mr . i ) \ bell seconded the resolution .

      Mr . Pudset—They had a society fire years ago for a suuilai purpose ; to wanted to know tbtir niterior tiews ; did they mean to build nlmsho&ses , or was it to be a society of foremen to crush tbe working men ? He had lt * n thirty-four years a foreman at Cortis ' B , and never UEsd a man as Allen b&s dons . Mr . KiT—I highly praise the conduct of Mr . Carson in aiurl ^ g his motion ; but owing to the excitement at present .- ^ Listing , I shall propose as an amendment , that this ¦ ' question , be postponed to -this day three mouths ;" and 1 vreU know we shall then b&fe a better attendance of fcrrrnen than we no * bare . Public sympathy was so in f « our with the masons , that many foremen who might K : farourabie to it , would not attend this evening , as it locked suspicions whether tbe object was not to oppese tad mea on strike .

      Mr . £ orBJ < seconded tbe amendment ; he was not opposed to such a society . Men who bad been long employed as foremen did not make good journeymen ; but tbe prestnt was a very ill-advised time to commence it ; be h&d twenty-four of the masons on strike in his emplc-T at the Temple Church , and they had done justice by Mm and to bis employer ; the men could not all be wrong , and Alien right . Tbe CiuiHMAS suggested that if some specific date was not meauooed , it would seem to be postponed tine d' * , ang suggested 31 st of January . Mr . Kat having agreed to this , the amendment was pat and supported by thirty-seven votes ; U » original mofc ' ja oniy receiving four votes . Mr . Newtos moved that the society be called a benefit society , but it was negatived .

      Mr . WHEELta having undtrtaken to get it inserted m ne'ws in the Dispatch , U was resolved that the resolution should be advertised in the Morning Adve ^ iitfr . Mr . XEWIOX JDOTisd that a committee at Bre be appoint : ! to carry out the object of the maeting , asd call a public jneeting on fhe 31 st January . Mr . Kat seconded tha motion , which was unanimooi ' y carried , sna tea persons nominated , out of whom Messrs . Ksy , Lxi ., Cornwell , Jenkins , and Ca » os -were etect « d , snd were allowed to add four more-to tbeir number . The Repobteu from the Meriting Advertiser having entered ths room , requested to add-ess the meeting . This being acceded to , he in a rambling manner showed them the claims the Advertiser had upon them for rapport .

      Mr . Wheeler { Reporter for the Star ) replied to him in an effective manner , and also gave the gentlemen present Kma hard rubs respecting the meeting , oonteistiDg it with that held by tbe journey men . Mr . Wheeler was greeted with much applause . Tb * meeting then adjourned until the 31 st of January .

Harney retnrned thanks , not only for the kind vote of confidence the meeting had been pleased to pass , but also for the unexpected honour they had conferred in agreeing to the resolution just adopted : he should obey their call , having the confidence of the men of Dowsbury , who had eo nobly stood by him at the late election ; he felt assured that he toad the confidence of the

      Chartists of Yorkshire generally . If elected to the Convention , he pledged himself fearlessly and efiiciently to perform the duties , of the post Assigned to him . It was a post of danger as well as honour ; but as he had stood by the people in the trying times of 1839 , he would be ready to stand by them in 1842 . He had now the benefit of experience ; but that experience had not curbed hia z ^ al in the cause . If not elected , he should rejoice that Yorkshire had found far abler men than lumself , but though abler P' ^ hitWidlpould be found , to none would he yield in a ipiere love of his country , and a desire to aehieveTtier political salvation . Mr . Harney moved the thanks of the meeting to the Chairman , which having been awarded aud acknowledged , the meeting dissolved .

      BIRMINGHAM . PUBLIC MEETING OF TRADES' DELEGATES AND OTHERS . STRIKE AT THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT . An important meeting of delegates from the various trades in Birmingham , and other parties favourable to the strike of the London Stonemasons , was held at the Grand Turk , Bell-street , on Wednesday evening last . At half-past eight the business commenced . . Mr . John Roddik , stonemason , was unanimously called to tho chair . He addressed the meeting iu the following terms : —Gentlemen and Fellow-workmen , it ia with great diffidence I take the chair on thia important occasion , particularly as I am not in the habit of addressing public meetings . I have no doubt that my labours will be light , and that each speaker will obtain a fair aud impartial hearing . I

      will not trespass further on your time , but call upon Mr . John Gray to address you on the facts connected with the strike of the London masons . Mr . Gray commenced his address by reading a circular , a copy of which bad been sent to the various trades > n Birmingham , and which set forth some of the leading reasons why the London stonemasons struck against the tyrannical conduct of Allen , the tyrannical tool of Messrs . Grissell and Pettf , the contractors for building the new Houses of Parliament . Ho then said he had no doubt but most of the persons present had heard tell of the strike of the stonemasons at the new Houses of Parliament ; but as they all might not be aware of the facts connected with it , he would endeavour to explain them . He would commence by describing the conduct of

      the foreman , whose inhuman tyranny the men felt bound to resist . One of their shopmaten received intelligence from Manchester of the death of his mother ; he informed Mr . Allen of his wish to go and see her interred , and wished to have a week or fortnight ' s leave of absence . Allen informed him that if such was the ca e , he might stop away altogether , as he would not keep a job open for any man that length of time . Another of the men had the misfortune to break his leg , by a fall from a pcaffold ; and on his return to work , thought , of course , that no objection would be offered , as he had been lamed in the service of his employers . Allen immediately discharged him , Baying that he wanted no such damned hobbling fellows there . The same foreman had told another of the workmen who had been at

      home ill for Borne time , and whose wife was also iu the same condition at the time , that he did not want men there of his description . Another of the men had been called from his work to attend the doath-bed of his wife , and when he returned , he was told by this monster to go back and die with her and be damned . Another , who had been a long time out of employ , and had been so pinched in consequence , happened to fall sick and staid at home three days ; whonhe returned , Allen told him he wanted no such men as him—he must hare sound men . Those were the ohief reasons why they had determined to strike against him . The men employed at Woolwich Dock and Nelson ' s Monument , had struck for the same reason . Mr . Grissell had promised a

      deputation , that if the charges brought against Allen were true ho would discharge him ; and whes another deputation waited on him , he denied having said so , and told them that he had lowered his dignity by condescending to speak to thorn . He would leave the meeting to judge whether such conduct ought to be tolerated by the trades of London and Birmingham . ( No , no . ) Ho would now retire , haring stated the essential points of the case , Mr . Gray then resumed his seat amid general applanse . Mr . Peter Bishop , saddler , next addressed the meeting . He said , although he was not conneoted with the stonemasoss , yet he sympathised with them and would yield them all the assistance in his power . From what he could gather from

      the Northern Star , he understood that Allen had formerly been connected with the Trades' Union , had been very efficient , and acted his part well , and that he had been woll backed by the stonemasons for so doing . His efficiency in this respect , no doubt , marked him out as a pr ' izoable object to the masters , for a * he knew so well how trade affaire were conducted , he would be the better enabled to practice tyranny on his fellow workmen . He considered the stonemasons perfectly justified in the steps which they had taken , and would endeavour to induce his fellow-workmen to assist them , especially as he considered theirs to be a strike on principle , and not for an advancement of wages , for he had long seen through the inutihty of striking for wages . The working men produced all the wealth in the

      country , and ought at least to have a good living , and be treated as men . It was now quite clear that no one trade could sustain itself against the inroads of their masters . The men who earned thirty shillings per week ought to unite with those who had fifteen , and then they would be enabled to effect something . It was that which caused him to admire the character of O ' Connor , who often told them the folly of the man who earned . 30 * . holding himself aloof from , and looking dowu on , the man who only got 15 ? ., it was that feeling which made the masters tako advantage of the men . He had himself been offered situations over other men / but would never accept of them , for he knew that had he done so , he would be expected to act the part of a tyrant

      towards them . He had no wish to introduce party politics , but from the manner in which Mr . O'Connor had acted towards tho working men , he thought him worthy of their esteem . He saw sufficient in the Star to convince him of Allen ' s infamy , and thought hanging too good for such conduct . He was sorry that the stonemasons' trade was such as would preclude the possibility of their setting tip trade for themselves , for on all strikes , no matter if they had ten thousand pounds of a fund to begin with , the masters knew that it would be exhausted at some time . He should like to see things so managed , and such unity existing amongst the working men , that they should turn out one day and set up for

      themselves the next . He looked npon the system of " chasing " , mado use of by some of the masons as » & abotuitaablo system , for it was quite clear that there would always be some men more able than other ? . Having said so much , he would repeat his determination to do all in bis power to forward their interests , and would leave it to others to throw more light oa the matter . He wished to know from the masons which plan they had adopted to earry their Foini . Mr . Thouas Skabukw , a stonemason , said that they allowed the men ten shillings a-week , and were under very ueavy expencea besides . But they hoped to gain sufficient assistance from the other trades , which was the reason why thay had called the present meeting . , ¦

      Mr . Thompson , carpenter , wished to know whether they hod a list of tho trades to whom Circulars were sentt . ' . '¦ . ¦ ¦ - ¦ - ' ¦ . ¦ ' ¦¦ . ... Mr Wu Slanet , secretary to the stonemasons , then read a list of the trades which bad beea sup-

      Untitled Article

      plied , amongst whom were the following : —Carpenters , Bricklayers , Braziers , Engineers , Mechanics , Button Burnishers , Carriers , Brush Makers Tinplate Workers , and Tailors . Mr . Walter , Thorns , tjnplate worker , wished to know whether they intended to form a committee of the trades . His trade would assist , bnt wished to understand the real grievance ; he thought , that ail the trades had not received circulars . It was then suggested that each delegate present sbeuid epeak as their trade stood on the list , and that they should form themselves into a committee , and appoint a secretary . Mr . Johm Williams , delegate from the Tailors ' Society , thought it would be folly to do so in the present stage of the business * He hoped they bad all come there to act fairly and honestly ; and , as whatever was transacted would have to be read over on the next night of meeting , he thought that one of the stonemason ' s body should be appointed .

      The Delegate from the Engineers agreed in the sentiments of Mr . Williams . Mr . Hen&y Beck was then unanimously appointed secretary for the evening . Mr . Goslino , silver plate worker , rose and said he considered that the present strike was not only interesting to the master stonemasons , bnt also to the masters in other trades , for it was the principle involved in the present strike , which was tbe grand object , and if Messro . Grisaell and Pcto succeeded in compelling the men to submit to Buch treatment , it would ba a heavy blow to the working . men

      throughout tho country . He hoped it would not be determined that the names of all the delegates from the other trades who were present shiuld be published . He knew several there in the room it would be calculated to injure—they might also have persons in that room iu favour of the masters . He did not know how it was in other towus , but such was the case in Birmingham . He therefore thought they had better not call over names , but merely mention the trade . He did not mmd anything about it himself , but thought they should get a larger number to attend and support them by so doing .

      Tbe StCRETABT then commenced calling over the names of the trades . v : A Delegate from the 1 st society of carpenters , stated that their trade had not time to call a meeting . . He wa ^ jaot , therefore , officially appointed , but they intended to oall one , and would give the masons their support . . ; ; A Delicate from the 2 nd society of carpenters stated that their body were enthusiastic in the cause , and-would give their cordial support . Two Delegates from the tailors' sooiety stated that their body considered the present strike not one for money but for principle . They never felt more warmly on a subject than the present . They had empowered them toaot at that meeting on behalf

      of the body , and would respond to their oall . They had formerly had occasion to complain of the apathy of other trades towards them at the time of their strike iu London ; they would , however , forget the past , as they considered that if the tyrants succeeded in this , it would be the signal for others . A Delegate from the Engineers stated that they had received the circular late , and had not time to call their body together , but their committee had deputed him to attend and get what information he could in this matter . Their rules did not allow a fund for strikes , therefore whatever they did would be voluntary . He wished to ask a few questions before he eat down . Was Allen a member pf the mason ' s body ! No . Were any of their members at present in the employ of Grissell and Peto 1 One .

      He wished to know what steps they iutended to take towards those who had turned in ; for if they were to be looked upon as being as good as others after this affair was over , he thought it would be wrong ; ferit waanot the masters who had done them so much injury as the unprincipled men who wont to work for them under such circumstances ; he thought that proper steps should be taken to induce men uot to go to London . The Seceetabt replied that the only method they took to get them out , was . to pay their expences back to the places they had loft , if they ohoose to accept it . They had also placarded the towns where men were likely to be engaged . They had also employed delegates to follow Grissell and Peto ' s agents , and when they had engaged men , endeavour to disengage them .

      A Delegate from the mechanics enidthat he had been seal trom that trade to inquire into the matter . They haci no fund for supporting a strike , but would do what they could by voluntary contribution . His trade was very warm in the matter , and would assist them . - - ¦¦ ¦ . ¦ - . ¦ ¦ ¦¦ ¦ ¦ ¦¦¦ ¦ ' . . - . ¦ ¦ ' ¦ . '¦ ¦ A Delgoatb from the Labourers' Society said they had received a circular , but there were very few present at the time . They were going to call a meeting , when he had no doubt they would come to a satisfactory conclusion . A Dkllgatk from the Saddlers' Society stated that they would have a meeting on the following Tuesday , when he had no doubt they would give their assistance . A Delegate from the bricklayers stated that they held a meeting every week , and would do what lay in their power .

      A Delegate from the braziers said he was desired to inform them that they should have their 6 npporr . They considered it to be a strike oa principle . He thought it a proof that the masons hud some moral feeling about them , by not allowing themselves to be trampled on . They would receive the support of his trade for that reason . A Delegate from the silver-plate workers stated that he had no doubt this would be made a national case . He was very sorry to find the press so much opposed to them . Delegate meetings like the present are very useful , as they prove to the gentlemen of the so called Liberal press , that they would not be tolerated in-blinking those questions where morality and justice were at stake . He then animadverted on the unprincipled conduct of the

      Weekly Dispatch , and said that the present meeting would show to those gentry that if justice was not done to the working men they had sufficient intellect and determination to set up a press for themselves . ( Loud cheers . ) He then descanted on the conduct of the press generally towards the working classes and showed their effect on those who trusted to their lying statements , aud concluded by advising the working men to withdraw their support from all papers that did not fairly represent them . Mr . George White then addressed the meeting . He considered as he had had a good deal of experience in trades' unions and strikes , that a word or two from him would not be thought amiss . He was not a believer in the doctrine so sedulously

      disseminated in trade societies , that they should exclude politics . He had seen a vast number of strikes and struggles between the masters aud men of various trades ; but he found the rpower and influence of capital , assisted by a corrupt Government , always sufficed to turn the scale against the working meu . It was true that the workmen sometimes succeeded ; but as soon as the difficulty was over , they became apathetic and in due time the employers pounced on them like a tiger , and completed their design . This meeting ought to be a lesson to the working classes , for as soon as one trade found its utter incapability to defend itself from the tyranny of employers they uniformly appealed for assistance to their fellow-workmen ; thus

      showing their true interests ; they found nobody else to assist them ; why then'did they support and assist those parties who would not help them in their time of need ! It was quite clear to every thinking man that the working classes would always be tyrannised over and tantalised by such men cs Grissell , Peto , and others , until they got a voice in making laws which would proieot them , and put a curb ou the insolence of such arrogant scoundrels . One part of the charge against Grissell—and a tough grissel he thought he was —( laughter)—was , that he had lowered his dignity by condescending to talk te the men who had raised him to such dignity . -The brute . Did he never reflect that working men had feelings of respect for themselves , sufficient to compel them te resent such outrageous insolence-1

      He again repeated that nothing short of political equality could protect them from all the insulting taunts and oppressions of those who were allowed to rule oyer them . The working meu themselves were to blame , for they had abundant means to remedy it . If a union of a few trades was good , what . w «» uld not a union of the whole body of the working classes accomplish } Let them therefore scout the doctrine of con-interference in politics ; fordid they not find politics interfering with them every moment of their lives ! This strike of the stonemasons was truly emblematical of the state of the nation . Every one knew that the members of the present Houses

      of Parliament , were a common nuisance , and the greatest curoe the nation could endure ; and it was a tine prospect for the people when they heard that every stono of the new Houses was hewn and laid amidst the sighs , groans , and curses of the oppressed and insulted workmen . He would , nevertheless , give his most cordial assistance to the masons now on strike , and hoped that every man present would do the same , whether he was a delegate or not . He then suggested various plans which should be adopted by the meeting ; and concluded amidst loud cheers . Mr . Bishop then

      moved"That an toe delegates present hand in * W names , and be oonsiderod a part of the Coaaintee . " The motion was agreed to . A large ntimber of delegito then care hi their names , together with the trade they represented . Mr . John Williams , tailor , g » id he thonght they ought to come to a resolution on the conduct or Grissell and Peto , and their ta ^ nAwST He would , therefore , propose the followlBi ^ - ^ - ^ Reselwd , "Thatii the opinion ot tWa Meeting the conduct © f Messrs . Grissell and Peto is ^ nconsistent with the character of upright men , by denying to one deputation the statement wftch they had made to a paevious one , and also for the insulting statement of Mr . Grissell . that hJ considered he had lowered hisdignhy'by speaking to working men . We are also of-opinion tiiai tho Btouejuasons of London were not only justified ia the course ihey hate adopted , but they deserve the thanks of ertr

It was qaiS clear that all men could hot work alike , but AUsY told them that they should all do as much as tha man . The strike was not as some of the papers hat represented it , for if the men had left work on then own responsibility ^ they would receive ao support they were ordered to > trika by the trade , after jhj caufe had been fairly represented . Grissell and Peti were at the present time employing butchen , shoemakers , and others , merely to keep up ; ' - " an an .

They ought to feel thankful to the Northern Star for sending a reporter to their meeting . Where was their boasted liberal press of Bit . mingham ! Why had they not sent a reporter ! Ha

      hoped the working men would think for themselvw , and not be gulled by pretended friends . When would the cause of the people be were it not for ft « Northern Star ?

      M That the thanks of the meeting be given to tha Proprietor and Editor of tho Northern Star , for ghring such good reports of the masons' proceeding , " Mr . Bishop seconded the resolution . It was afterwards stated that the readers of tl » Dispatch and other papers might take umbrageti the resolution . Mr . Bishop said they might obviate that by pu > sing a vote of thanks to Mr .

If a man went to work fer less , it vu his own choice , if he thought he w . as not worth so much as others ; but if he refused to work for Jw than others , and the society thought him worthy tit same amount , they would justify him in his refusal . Mr . Ryland made some remarks to the sua » efiect . The Delegate from the engineers then moved ,

      " That the answers given to the questions pot to the stonemasons are highly satisfactory . We therefore deem them worthy the support of tha country . " Mr .

Patrick Brewster and bis few friends to cram the Calton Hill and Birmingham reaolntiona down tbe throats of the people .

      First We regard the visit ef Mr . O'Connor to Aberdeen , and bis triumphal reception , as on » of the greatest triumphs the Chartist cause hai obtained in tbia part of tbe country , because Mr . O'Connor having long been adopted as tbe veritable friend and representative of the working classes , his enemies and the enemies of the sacred cause of liberty vere leagued to go there , in order to stop , if possible , any popular demonstration in testimony of pur approval of bis conduct in the defence of our rights and tbe rights of mankind .

      Secondly . Mr . O'Connor ' s visit to Aberdeen has been sifnal : z ? d by a gTeat accession cf numbers to the Chartist ciuse . Many of the middle classes , who were formerly prejudiced against Chartism , by the eloquent and powerful reasoning of Mr . O'Connor , have had their prejudices completely removed . Many who were callous and indifferent to the onward march of freedom , have bad tbeir energies accelerated , and an Impression has bt * n generated in the public mind in favour of the Charter which will never be eradicated . £ L . 8 SS . ^ , f »*—¦ John Fiuseb , Treasurer .
