      -S&LSHAV 72 XQOR , ( kbar Boltox . )—Pursuant -to notice given at - a late Corn Law meeting , held in this village , a meeting -was convened on Friday , -the 11 th instant , to take into consideration the propriety of establishing a Chaitlst Association . -The ^ aefeting "was held in Barns' Seminary , a room capable of holding more than five hundred people , and ¦ « ai It naely -crswded , -great numbers being obliged to go away ¦ who could not gain admission . At eight o ' clock ,- Mr . -Joseph Wood , a working man , was called to the chair by acclamation , -who , in very eloquent terms , opened the business &f the meeting , by detailing the object for -which it was convened , and concluded by calling upon Mr . . Parkinson , of Boltcn , to move the fli * t resolution , which was— " That it is the opinion of this meeting

      ^ tbs . % the agitation now going on in this country by tk ' ose ^ persons railing themselves Corn Law Repealers , is an agitation based upon error , inasmuch as the Corn Laws are but a . part of the evils , which have arisen -from class legislation ; we , therefore , pledge ourselves to agitate fer nothing short of the principles contaJsed in the People ' s Charter , namely , - "Universal Suffrage , Vet a by B ? . llot , " Annual ¦ Parliaments , Equal Representation , Ho property Qualificati on , and payment of Members to serve in Parliament" Mr . Rinkin , of Manchestsr , in aspeeeh replete with argument exposed the fallacies of the Corn iaw humbug . He made some very stringent remarks as to the capabilities of the land , the evils of maefrt-: uery and the miseries of the people under the present

      vicious system . He concluded by seconding the resolution , ill . P . i £ . Bropby , of Dublin , next addressed the meeting on -. the evils of class legislation and-the -disunion of the working classes . He cenduded by moving the following resolution . " That it is the -opinion of this nutting , that an association should be immediately formed in Halshawmoor , founded upon the foregoing resolution , to aid our brethren throughout fireat Britain an I Ireland , to obtain by legal and ¦ constitutional means , those rights which class legislation has so long withheld , and which it is our opinion -cannot be bb&ined , nntil the People ' s Charter becomes tte law of the land .

Barnes , for giving the use of their school to tha people . A vs » te of thanks to the Chairjhan was moved by Mr . Parkinson , Thomas Boras ,

      Esq . . rose to second it , and was leeeived by the meeting with deafening cheers ; he said with soaie little excep--tion , be ayreeAwith all that had fallen from the speakers who had addressed them that evening ; he was for the ¦ wh ole of the principles contained in the People ' s Char--ter ; he was convinced that if there was to be exceptions to the giving of the Suffrage on account of the igaiarance of the people , that that exception would extend , in a great measure to the aristocracy and great numbers at those who now held the franchise ; he congraialated the workingmen of Hallshaw Moor npos the ^ manner they had conenjted themselves that evening , « nd he felt confident that nothing short of the prin--eiple * of the ^ Charter could effectually ameliorate the condition of the whole peaple ; he concluded by seconding the vote of thanks to the Chairman .

James Leech , constable , was called on to preside , wno briefly opened the proceedings and introduced Mr . Barton to move the first resolution , which denounced Peel ' s plan as an insult t : > a perishing people , and concluded by submittingnoremedy whatever to toe meeting , by which the people might redress their TfrongB . The speaker was particularly cautious not to mention any of the evil deeds of the Whigs throughout Ms speech . Mr . Thomas Livesey seconded the resolution , which on being put , very few hands were held up , the . people calling loudly for a remedy for the evils which had been stated to exist Mr . John Leach then

      lose topropose a remedy , not only for the Com Laws but ail other bad laws which disgraced the statute book . He entered into the question of machinery and taxation , and proved to a majority of the meeting , that the mere repeal of t £ e Corn Laws would not be a balm for their every wound , as it is stated by the League , and moved the following resolution to the meeting .- — " Teat while thi 3 meeting consider the Ministerial Plan of Peel on the Cora Law question is an insult t © the people . ; they are further of opinion there are other bad laws which ought immediately to be effaced from the statute book , and consider-the only remedy , the enacting of the principles contained in the People ' s Charter , the law of this country . " Mr . Thomas Chad wick , manufacturer , seconded the motion , -which -was carried enanimonsly . Three cheers were given for Feargus O'Connor and the Northern Star , and the meeting broke up .

Paulten , Esq . The meeting or lecture was announced for seven o ' clock . At twenty xniaute 3 to eight he made his entry to an excited atiaience , composed of men of all grades and opinions , I not a few of whom were "noisy Caartists , " "dema- gogufes , " " rebels , " " plunderers , " and " desuicable i iaetien * , " some of the gentlemanly terms used " by the j mild and mealy-mouihed Doctor of Plymouth ' s free trade < but not language ) clique . He was asked if he \ woald agree to discussion ? He aaid " Tea , if to the I question . " At it he went , and used many Chartist i arguments , amid the cries of "He ' s aChartist , " &c . j He pro « d , to demonstration , clearly , that the Corn i

      Iaws were bad and injurious ; but he did not shew theerils arising from tke over-application of machinery , nor yet of the torments and horrors of a factory hell !! IJpcn finishing his lecture , he was immediately con- " fronted by Hz . T . Y . Smith , one , of the active Rads of , the " far west" He was proceeding to free discussion ,. ! npon wbjeh . tte Chairman and lectnrer started like j baited bulls to know why he dared to mention the 1 Charter , and this feefore he ever mentioned it , proving i the lamentatle prejudice and ignorance of the middle ] classes , bankers , doctora , and pezliemen ; and all of the i well-bred breed roared and whelped like pups un-j tennelled , and swore , that Chartism should not be introduced . The lecturer then said be would not enter j the lists of discussion , but he would consent to answer ' questioas . Not willing he should escape , Mr . Smitb

      asfed him how it wasiiiat while periodicals , pamphlets , ) newspapers , &c had increased , the printers were in ai state of , starvation ?

It was agreed to have a . fiuit festival ¦; admission 6 d , Several other matters came before them of little interest , and tke meeting separated .

      PORFAR . —The Oke Movement . —On Monday , theotb , lie inhabitants of this place were convened te consid * : the adoption of a petition for the Charter , md to arrive at some decision relative to the late local reports given in the Dundee Chronicle aad the conduct of the -reporter . Mr Thomas Syme , vicechairman , presi ded . The Secretary read at length both the Natic nal Petition and that of the Scottish Convtntion . 7-dr . D . ' Calleisder moved the adoption of the former , which Mr . J , Miller seconded . Some little altercation followed . ; and on the Qiairman inquiring if any -moved for the Conventioa Petition , Mr . A . Yeomon . did so , but could find no seconder , even when , appeal was made from the chair ; and the National was carried without « ne solitary hand in

      oppositi « i . Mr . T . Davis congratulated the meeting 011 the sound policy of their choice , briefly commented opon the objections commonly urged against the doeoment of their tpproval , regretted anything and everything tending to . promote division or partisanship in the Chartist movement . He cared little , as an affair of polioy , for the extent of matter contained in the Petition ; it would be satisfactory to him if "five millions made the siiaple declaration of five meaosyllables— " We are of one mind . " Still he could not bat -regard as a master stroke the introduction of so many and so great evils into a preamble , which , however disagreeable , could scarcely fail to . greet the ears of Honourable Members . A minute of the Chartist Association directing

      reference of the second question being read , Mr . MSiuattie arose , and stated that he could not allow that , by the Chartist press , our movement should be thrown in the back ground to give prominence to Corn Law repeal agitation , without notice . After the -discussion in the East Kirk , where Mr . Davies rendered such good service , he could not but reprehend the conduct which so meanly misrepresented the facts of the case . The numbers of the Chronicle containing notices of the affiir not being at hand , Mr . Davies said he would rather not have meddled with the matter at all , as it -would appear to be personal in its nature ; he would , however , jast state fiat the inhabitants of Forfar , after the meeting in the church , would be well able to judge of the desert

      of the report in question . He thought the Chartists did themselves credit by disavowing the statements put forta in the Dundee Chronicle , many of the friends waited upon him , and very pressingly urged that he v ? oiild dravf up a report to be forwarded by the Secretary , with their instructions . That report was prepared , sent , and delivered to tbe acting editor , and the one complained of in-: ^ rted . Let any one who was present read the report in the Star of the following week , and decide on the consistency of the one or tbe other . The Secretary wrote for explanation ; the onus was thrown on the reporter ; and , at a glance , hastily , as must hare been the case , he wrote a temperate , but firm explanation , requesting it might appear , and

      the notices set aside as personality . If it were so , who made it such ? Having permitted the one , the other was due . Why not give it upon its own merits ! If the reporter acted unjustly , the manager did no less so . The shareholders in Fortar might come to what resolutions they please . Let them , however , consult the' interest' of putting the Chronicle in their own pockets , having no other readers . Let not any one go away with the misrepresentation that I persuaded you to withdraw support . He did no such thing . They nevertheless would have to see to it , that their cause is not injured at their own expence . Mr . Millet would suggest that the managers be requested to appoint their own reporter , but to change the present one .

      The last resolution of the Manchester delegates , which he would read , convinced him that Adam was bound neck and heels to the repeal agitationto the supplanting of Chartism ! Mr . M'Q , uattie then proposed , "That the late reports of the Dundee Chronicle having given bo much dissatisfaction , we denounce the reporter , and resolve , if he be continued in that capacity to withdraw our support from the paper . " The announcement that a meeting of shareholders had determined to recommend the retention of Adam as reporter , occasioned the stringency of the proceedings . The above was unanimously passed . Mr . M'Quattie would also call upon the meet 1 ut ; to repudiate the personal attack

      upon Mr . Davies , who had received tbe usual countenance aud support ? and which he so truly deserved . Abo passed without contradiction . A committee was appointed to prepare , and forward a report , which , however , though sent , has not appeared , Mr . Whittel's letter to ministers of the gospel having been introduced , the secretary was ordered to procure a quantity . Enquiry being mado if any intelligence of a visit from Mr . O'Brien had arrived , it was replied to in the negative ; but was daily expected , letters having been £ ent both to Glasgow and Dundee . We earnestly hopa Mr . O'Brien will favour n 3 at the earliest opportunity . The failure of the League Conference in the metropolis will invigorate Chartism in Forfar . The whole Bill aud

      nothing less ' . ALL . OA . —The Plague Black , in the Face . —The anti « Corn Law Association of Alloa , held a public meeting , on the evening of the 8 ih inst ., in the Tabernacle , Alexander Paton , Esq , in the chair . Mr . Abram Duncan asked if he would be allowed to take part in the proceedings , being favourable to the abolition of the Corn Laws ; but as his plan for their abolition was different from theirs , though in conformance with the opinions of nine-tenths of tho .-e at this meeting , he would , with the permission of the chairman at some subsequent stage of the proceedings move his amendment . The Chairman said that if Mr . Dantan was a member of the anti-Corn Law Association of Alloa he would , otherwise he

      could not be permitted to take any part in the business of the evening . Mr . Duncan then addressed the meeting at some length , by stating the working men of Alloa , would now see who were their real friends and sworn enemies ; they would now see the spirit and intentions of the manufacturers and clergy who were this night to address them ; there was among them a Chartist priest , and he had no hesitation in applying to him words that could cot be mistaken—that he was a deceiver and a traitor to his own professed principles ; he , Mr . Duncan , would now retire from the meeting , in conformity with a rule he had laid down for himself in such cases . Knowing that the working men of AHoa would treat the hypocrites , who had denied

      him the right to take part in a public meeting affecting his interests according to their deserts . When Mr . Dupcan retired , about three hundred accompanied him , anxious to have a lecture from him in the Chartist Hall , when he delivered a lecture upon Corn Law repeal , showing its pernicious tendency without accompanying measures , which the Charter only could carry . "" It was then moved and seconded , " That as the majority in the Chartist Committee had of late acted very supinely in the cause , and as some of them now openly had gone over to the Corn Law repeal party , a Committee be now elected , men of known principle and tried integrity , to act in unison with the other Associations in the district . " The five following were then

      nominated : —Messrs . James Douglas , David Thompson , John Stewait , Andrew Harrower , and Peter Cowie , who were unanimously elected . Mr . Duncan then asked if the National Petition had been adopted in Alloa ? Tne answer was , No . This was a proof of the traitorous conduct of the Committee . Mr . Robert Snadden then asked Mr . Duncan whioh petition he meant ! Mr . Duncan said the petition of the English Executive , as he knew of no other National Petition . It was then agreed that a public meeting should be got up without delay for the adoption of the National Petition . Mr . James Douglas , Chairman of the meeting , gave an address containing a great quantity of statistical information , conceived in powerful language , which was well received by the After vote of

      meeting . a tbank 3 to the Chairman , this important meeting broke up . We may add that when Mr . Dnncaa left the meeting of the anti-Corn Law Association , its Chairman congratulated them upon the benefit of the rule they had adopted to allow none to take any part in the proceedings but Buch as they conld trust , when it was bawled out , " Can you trust the traitor V Several ineffectual attempts were made by one Tough , a Chartist preacher , ' , bylthe Rev . P . M'Doual , a sort of a dim wee light of the Secession Church , and another preacher named Andrew Nichol , who is well known here , to address the meeting , without success . The Petition was read , and from every corner of the house voices were crying " put it to the vote , put it to the vote ; ye daurna put it to the vote ; try your strength . " The Chairman declined , saying the Petition had been adopted by the Committee , and that was sufficientv The meeting became clamorous for

      the money they had paid at the door , but some needy brother of the League had ran off with it . The Chairman and his clerical friends , finding themselves baffled at every point , dissolved the meeting . There was then one nnanimous shout for Mi . David Harrower to address the meeting , ( one of the delegates from this quarter to the Glasgow Convention . " To this the Chairman gave all the opposition in his power , but was compelled to give way . Mr . Harrower then addressed them in a lengthened speech , full of facts and statements bearing on the question before them , and ended with a challenge to any of the Corn Law League , or clergy , to discuss the question with him . The Chairman asked if aBy one was willing to discuss the question with him , several roicea crying out , " Just do it yoursel ' , Chairman . " This he declined for reasons best known to himself . This terminated this rather remarkable meeting .

      SHUTFORD , neak Banbubt , Oxfordshire . — We have bad an association of Chartists in this village about eight months , and although our principles have been denounced in the church , and contentment is preached in the chapel they are fast gaining ground . Indeed the calumnies of one Rev . gentleman of the church establishment , were so exceedingly vile , that we thonght it our duty not to let them pass unnoticed , we accordingly , through the medium of the Slar , respectfully requested him to substantiate the assertions be had made , offering , at the same time , to abandon our agitation if he would prove them to be

      correct However , to this very reasonable request he has not yet dared to reply , although tbe " ignorance " of tbe working classes might have promised him an easy victory . So much for the Rev . gentleman ' s desire to rescue us from that hell he so unmercifully consigned us to . But the days of priestcraft are fast passing away , we have learned to think for ourselves . We hold weekly meetings , and have adopted a memorial to the Queen , praying for a free pardon for Frost , Williams , and Jonas . We have adopted the National Petition , and canvassed Shutford ami the neighbouring villages for signatures .
