      Mt Fbikjds , —You will have learned from the letter of the Executive which appeared in the Second Edition of last week ^ and-also from my letter to Mr . Tidd . Pratt in the ^ resent number , that that functionary has most andsciooeJy and unwarrantably refused to certify our Kew Plan of Organization You will have further learned that he had made up iis mind to refuse , before the rules were presented te _ him . In addition to which 1 have a letter now lying before me from a highly respectable gentleman , in which is the following passage : — rt Itrast by this time you have heard fnrther from John Tidd Pratt ; and I-can assure you that I have submitted rules to the correctness of whicli he has certified without ever looking at them , but merely passed them through the hands of his clerk ; but we know the . wwm ^ r . J iaw tfeit ' a tii »^ xtr » ot ^ and I fc * vetfce

      , letter * nda too , must know the Troson , and the whole country shall know the reason , as I never ieep secreis npon public questions . I must also know the reason , and you too must know -it , why 3 ohn Tidd Pratt has refused to sertify our niles Upon beiDg appointed to office I told the delegates that I was strongly opposed to the step , and was only urged to acceptance of it in the hope that it "would give confidence to our body . While I have soSered more than any other man for the acts of Others , I lave the prond consolation to know , that during eight years I have succeeded after good watching in keeping within the prescribed limits of the law .

      I quite agree with our excellent friend , Mr . O'Higgjns , in the belief that we are stronger inside than outside of the law , while the difficulty of obtaining ingress to the sanctuary mnst be now viable io all . I ^ vould ask yon , is not this refnsal of Tidd I ^ &tFs a direct and insolent attempt to keep the people without the pale of the law , and I would ask the people , as one of their efficers Hnanimonsly elected to see their movement carried on under the strictest provisions of ihe law , whether they would honour and obey me and my colleagues , if we surrendered our cause at the shrine of an insolent official ! And if the aaswer should be " No , " I wonld then ask the people whether or not we are bound to honour and obey ihem , if ihey are intimidated by the rash and illegal act of the Certifying Barrister i I have bnt little refpect for the man who , regardless of the interests of those whom he is bound to

      serve , will surrender discretion to his own passioBB or angry feelings ; and I nave as little respect for him who will fill short in zeal and action , when adverse circumstances present themselves . I have not been honoured with a reply from Mr . Tidd Pratt , to either of my letters ; and from thia fact we must arrive at the conclusion tbat the nation is to be thrown upon itE appeal against the official ' s decision . I hav «* submitted the whole plan for the opinion of Counsel , but have not jet received it . However , you may rest assured , tbat nothing shall be left undone upon my part to have our case fairly brought before such tribunals as the 1 & . W admits of : for beaten I am

      determined not to be . Indeed my projected tour for the remainder of the month may be mainly attribnted to tbe positron in which Mr . Tidd Pratt hoped to place us , added to my wish to convince the people that when I undertake to perform service for them , I mean to do it to the very best of mj ability . 2 addressed a large and enthusiastic meeting last Jjight in the large Theatre of the Rotunda . The place was full in every part even to the door ; and so excited were their feelings upon the subject of Mr . Tidd Prats ' s retuhQ , that 1 verDy believe , had we been prepared with cards , ninety-nine out of

      every hundred present would have enrolled themselves as members . The feeling of the meeting as to the prudeooe and propriety of mixing the Land and the Owner question was most unanimously unequivocally , and enthusiastically expressed . This was something ; when 1 inform you ibat a paltry eliqne of traetsriens had Eucceeded in creating the leaves cf discontent in London ; and that & few of the drones actually mastered outside ihe door for the purpose -ot -creating dissension : but after the usual amount of threats and bluster , tbey betook themselves to their hiding places .

      1 was always perfectly aware tbat the Government would tolerate a -mere political more for the Charter ; 1-ut I told yen as ear . y as 1841 , that the moment pr&c&cal Chartism was directed to tho attainment of the Land , that then the owners and representatives of that commodity would persecute me with untiring energy . If I had net seen the absolute -necessity lor propounding the Land question , and if tbe ablest friends ef the people had not fearlessly laken it up , out movement would have long since oied . a natural death . Tbe increased vitality and spirit which now presents itself irem all parts of the-country is a consequence -of the increased hope of something prac tical being forced ipon the public mind . Onward

      then , and vte conquer . Backward , and we fall , it 25 for job to ssy-whether or no ihe legions who hare never quailed before the law ' s oppression , shall now tend beneath the tfficial ' s lash . Even still every step shall 3 > e legally taken ; so that 13 rainy shall be baulked of its prey : but every necessary step shall be legally taken . J bnt await the iBtumg ol ihe cards to become an enrolled member cf the Asfociationthus , at all events , proving to you ih&t I wonld icorn to ask others to do , what 1 was afraid to do jujself . 1 « D » ke no dcubi tbat our . able snd zealous friend Mr . Hodsod , Trill sviuiU this week some practical plan-for our intermediate operations , until the questioa-of appeal shall be decided . To avoid the CorTespoBdiBg act , is the one ^ rt at object to he achieved 5 aad indeed the enly rne , and that can be -effected by delaying tbe appointment < jf branches

      until the roles ch * H be certified . TjU then we isay proceed under such provisions of the old law as constituted os one national body nnder one legal head . I expect to start upon my tonr with » sufficient cumber-of car ^ E to * Drol , Eyrel / , one half of the required number for carrying out our agitation . Yes , —before the first day of November , 1 expect to be able to ray . tbat I have enrolled with my own band 12 , 000 members of the National Charter Association . Let but another do likewise , 8 nd all ^ vnr machinery isarrai- ' ^ ed a nd completed for an aetive year ' s work . I trust , therefore , that those anxions to enTol their napes will each lay up his twopence as a test of his sincerity in the -cause . To the women also 1 appeal wiih coLfidence , being well coBvitced ibat their exsmple "Kill have a powerful influence npon the men .

      In reply to several applications frem the metropolitan districts , 1 beg to say that on nay retornfrcm Scotland , each and all shall be viaud in turn . After that I shall also run down to Ipswich and Norwich ; and as I tmEt tbat Mr .

I cannot giie a direct answer to my friends at Greenock until I learn what arraRgenieiitshave beea made in Glasgow ; but it is my desire to make my Scotch trip the means of reducing that heavy Chartist debt due to tbe truly good and estimable Mr .

      You will thus learn that Mr .

      THE LAND ! THE LAND ! On Tuesday evening , Mr . O'Couuor leotnred upon thiB all-important Bubject , at the Hall of Science ll&te Ilotunda ) , Bhekirars Road , to a crowded and enthusiastic audience . Shortly after eight o ' olock , Mr . Paskeh waB called to the chair , and he briefly introduced Mr . O'Connor to the meeting , who on rising was greeted with tremendous applause . Mr . O'Consor commenced by addressing himself to the chair , the working men , and , on that occasion , he trusted he might also add middle-class men . He had come that evening to instruct those who might be ignorant upon a most vital subject , the means how the working classes could best ensure " a fair day ' s

      wages for a fair day s work . " He had spent an attentive political life in minutely scanning every political nostrum which had been brought forward by the Minister of the day , the free traders , and every other class of political economists , with a view of ensuring that result to the working classes , and of guaranteeing to the middle class that they should be a little better fed and dad than their neighbours ; and he had seen them all fade away , without leaving a tr&oe of benefit behind them . After being stigmatised for twenty years as a crotchet-monger , he had the satisfaction to see the whole of the press of the country , the tracrarians , and the magazinewriters , all nibbling , bit by bit , at the remedy he had propounded . Even the Prime Minister of England .

      the pilot who was to save the ship from the shoals by which she was surrounded ; after having outstripped , by meanB of his tariff , even the Free-traders themselves , see i ng that it had failed , had now become content to play second fiddle to Lord Atherton ; aud , at a public dinner , declared in support of a speech from that nobleman , that the laud was now the only remedy . It was a maxim that a man was known by his company . Surely now that he Mr . O'Connor had got in company with Sir Robert Peel , he should no longer be esteemed a demagogue and a crotchet monger . He knew not what reflections they were that had driven the Prime Minister of England to this declarai ion ; whether it was the question of Repeal in Ireland , the critical state of affairs in Spain , the glorious revolution in Greece ,

      or tbe growing demand for republican institutions over the whole world—(^ re&i cheering ) . He knew not whether these things had directed Sir Robert ' s attention to the clodpole ' s at home ; or whether it was that all his other schemes having failed , ho had discovered , that pasB what tariff he would , the continential powers could interfere to make it useleFB ; and that the land at home was the only raw material with which they could not interfere . The 7 ifnes , the Glob * , the Sun , and the best of the whole lot , the Morning Advertiser , were now turning their attention to the land ; a subject by the bye , which theyjknew no more of than an Irish pig did of Geometry ; but this shewed the importance the subject was gradually acquiring .

      [ Previous to the chair being taken , a bill had been posted in the room , inquiring why Mr . O'Connor did not bring out some plan , and wby he did not show , by a practical experiment that the land was the only remedy . Without that , his lectures would be of no avail ] In allusion to this , Mr . O'Connor a ? ked where was the man in the whole community who had gone so far as himself in bringing the subject into public notoriety ! He was of opinion that he was much more useful in instructing and awakening the attention of the masses than in settling down , on a four acre experiment . He had many years of practical experience to gnide him , and knew tbat a public opinion must first be created in its favour ere any practical experiment would sneceed . There was

      great danger to all plans from a too qaick concurrence in them , « re they were perfectly established in the public mind . The great cause of the failure of many systems was that they were adopted by the middle class and the aristocracy before the democratic mind of tfee country had been brought to bear upon them . He had shown them on many occasions that they could not separate politics from the Land ; it was the Land which fumi&hed their opponents with political power ; it -was the monopoly of the Land which caused tbem to look to foreign nations for their dinner or their breakfast ; and yet they wt re told by seme that they Bbould stick to politics . They had had enough of theoretical politics ; it was time to

      show borne practical good which tbe Cbartsr would produce . If they had a Chartist Parliament tomorrow , and the land had never been propounded , they would go on altering and passing tariffs with as little -knowledge of them as other Parhtments had done ; and all wonld end in disappointment . Tbe working classes seeing that no j ; eneral benefit accrued to them , would pronoeice it , like the Reform Sill , to be a delusion . In order , then , tfcat the next grcai change might not be a bubble or a shadow , he had thought it his duty to instruct the public mind relative to that great subject . The great fault of the present Government was not what they did do , but because they knew not , what to do . They mnst be careful to avoid that error .

      Hitherto the people had looked at the subject in the bulk ; tbey had looked into the kaleidescope of the ToricB , and teen a variety of -squares , octagons , ic , highly coloured . They had looked into the "Whig kakidescope . and they liked , their figures better ; but they Beemed to forget that they had to pay the same for each view . The working men now wanted 10 look into a kaleidescopa where they could see some benrfit arising to themselves . Let them look at their situation in London ; had they nos greater evils to complain of tha » oven tbe National Dcbv i The Corporation of the Gty of London had a revenue of £ 400 , 000 a-year left by charitable persons for benevoleDt purposes . How was this

      money expended ? Why , on mace-bearers , Lord Mayors , Punch and Judy shows , Ac . &c . Tbey wanted the Charter , that this money might be properly applied to tho education of the people , and the csta-blisliment of good institutions . The Corporation also derived £ 300 , 000 from church-rates and j £ 200 j 000 from a duty on coals , Baking in all a re vena of neariy a million a year . Tbe city did not contain above one-fifieemh of the population of London , and yet this one-fifteenth of the population of the metropolis paid to the Corporation a yearlv amount equrl to one-thiriUh of the whole National Debt . Why did they not complain of this wholesale extortion becanse it was laken from them in so filv a

      manner , and yet in the midst of this extravagant expenditure they were told by Par * ou IJabtifct Noel ihav 500 , 00 © persons knew not where to get their breakfast when they rose in the morning , and were living without God or hope in the world . Now leaving God or religion out of the question , as it was always advisable to do at political meetings , was it justice that ihese men should be left in this destitute state while such immense funds were paid to gratify the appetites of aldermen and corporations ! Suppose that the city contained one fifteenth , or say onetenth of this pauper population , that would be 50000 , its million of revenue would rent 1 , 000 , 000 acres of Land , this wonld give twenty

      acres io each of the # 0 , 000 , whereon 10 provide for his breakfast and supper , and would save him from living without God and without hope . It was necessary that they should bear with what might be called the effervescence of Chartisnii Many men knew that a pig made bacon , but they knew not how to feed tbe pig io make the bacon . They were aware that the Conference had decided upon mixing np the question of the Land with that of the Charter . Many who might be called the cream of Chartism , whofl-ated and bubbkd at the top of thejstream , aDd who were only known as bubbles , asked why thty interfered with tbe Land ? Was it not the Land which produced class legislation ? He tvoald

      argue the question with any one m that meeting or on any platform in London , and prove that the Charter meant the Land and the Land the Charter . He was prepared to admit the first principles of political economy , but not the deductions drawn from those principles , he was prepared to admit that if one channel of trade was closed another should be opened , but he was not prepared to admit that their own channel was the last , he thought that instead of mining the farmers and operatives by insane attempts to supply the world wiih cheap goods , a better channel would be , to do away with the law of primogeniture , and open the lands of Kent , Surrey , and Sussex to fair competition . Take away from the Land and the landlords , the exclusive possession of t *> liti « d oower . and then they need not _ go to foreign

      lands for their breakfasts or suppers . Why did not the free traders with their £ 50 , 000 at their backs , direct thf ir attention to the growth of corn at home . No : they wonld sooner see the land covered with an incrustation of lava , than open the soil to the energy ; of the labourers , the Cobdens , the Fieldens , the ; Greggs , &c knew that while the land was looked Bpfrom the artizan , the great capitalist was enjoying light , whilst those of small capital were in utter darkness , - while this system ^ continued , they would always have an empty public Exchequer . Sir Robert had not now cash sufficient to supply the j Chelsea pensioners with twelve rounds of ball cartridge He conld not have extended the Queen-a travels a hundred miles ; the Queen ' s journey was all a kite—a balloon io make foreigners believe that after all expenees were paid , Gortrcment had stiU i

      money left to indulge the Queen in a foreign tour . How came this scarcity of funds ? Never was money more plentiful in the money market ; but it was no sign of national prosperity when money was looked up in Savings' Banks , when capital could not be remuneratively employed ; no direr calamity could befal a nation than to have a surplus of capital in the market , combined with a surplus of unemployed labour . The Times and the Chronicle were now boasting © f the increased prosperity of trade . He believed that Sir Robert Peel would not find it ; that he would be unable , even with his Income Tax , to realizs the expenditure ; for no national benefit was ever experienced , unless the benefit was felt by the whole people . He would

      ask the middle classes present , whether tbey had received any benefits from bur increased trade 1 He would put the same question to the working men ; and if these two important classes had received no benefit from increased commerce , and from the ma ^ y inventions which science had given to the country , they might be called changes , but they could not be called improvement . Did they suppose that Sir Robert Peel 01 Lord John Russell would let them get hold of the Land , or grant them political power 3 Not they ; and if they" did not , the poople could not be benefited . They were now threatened with a coalition between Peel and Russell . He had been looking for it for the last six years . He was perfectly aware that when , the

      nrcamstances of England , Ireland , Scotland , And Wales , required the Btrong arm of power toput down tho demooratic feeling that the little abortion Russell , the smallest man eyor seen for nothing , would not refuse a Tory coalition , but the question was , would that coalition benefit them 1 It would bring the people into . the two classes he had long predicted , the poor oppressed , and the rich oppressor . He warned them that if a motion was brought forward by Peel , and Beoonded by Russell , that thn down trodden , the degraded , the oppressed people of England , wou'd speedily pat down tho allied tyrants . The Morning Advertiser asserted that if the genius of Chartism slept , it should now awaken ; it was tbe only hope of the country . What ! were the

      powerless , ihe insignificant Chartists , the last hopes for the institutions of the country ! by the institutions of the country , he did not mean the Church and State extravagance , the Army and Navy , or the bombasts of the Horse Guards ; but that every man should receive protection in return for his allegiance . Every working mas was equally entitled to a retiring pension , as if in the army or navy . How was it that the public mind , was so dissatisfied ! it was owing to the diffusion of thought , to tbe spread of mind ; tbe peDty postage , and steam , had greatly assisted in this 4 we could now shake hands with America , and kiss France . The people could no longer be held in check by their Six Acts , or other equally monstrous aud iniquitous restrictions .

      we were now able to communicate with other nations , better politicians than ourselves . The King of Prance was surrounding himself with public opinion in the shape of batteries planted with cannon . Look again at Spain ; though groaning under the tyranny of the brutal and soldier-shooting Narvaez , ruling with despotic power , without even a council to back him , yet the pure mind of Spain had risen above this tyrant , and tbey were everywhere " pronouncing " in favour of- Republicanism . Truo , they con pled it with loyalty to Isabella ; they cared not who wielded the executive power , so long as they had republican institutions . Look also at Ireland ; without even a blow being struck , or one anticipated , they were making loop-holes in their forts and garrisons , and

      provisioning them for three yeare ; and thid because the people demanded a legal Governmental change . They were told it was legal to agitate for the Char-er . What made it so 1 In 1839 it was illegal ; in 1843 it was legal . The law had sot changed , but the persecutions which they had braved and undergone , like the Scotch Covenanters of old , had taught the Government that Chartism must be made Irgal . What was Ireland looking for but the Land . Rebecca was contending for the Land ; Peel was for the Land ; Spain was for the Land ; why was not France looking for the Land ? It was because she had got it . Mr . O'Connor then showed the difference between the holding of laud iu France and England , and also

      explained how Paddy was a better agitator than John Bull , he also showed the injustice of the Irish Church , and prophesied that in ten years time a State Church in Ireland would be like a fairy tale , a thing which had been . If all other countries were contending { for the Land , was it not time for the people here to contend for it ! Was it not time that they should be taken out of the artificial and placed in the natural market ? As long as the labour market was under the control of speculative capitalists , po long would it be impossible to have a fair day ' s wages for a fair day ' s work . The working men ha a not got capital to purchase the raw materials of other lands , but they had the best of all capital , their arms and sinews , to cultivate the raw material at

      home . England was said to be the envy and admiration of the world , la what did it consist i The aggregate of proper ity should be combined of the prosperity of the atoms . This was not so . Had the English Parliament a-ny powur to control the tariffs of foreign , lands . No ; in this she was only a secondary nation . The continental nations could at one fell swoop destroy all her commercial regulations . Surely tfcafc was not greatness , that was not a condition to excite envy and admiration . If a tenth of the money spent iu supporting foreign dynasties and the balance of power abroad , had been spent in cultivating the land of their birth , they would not have had their five hundreds of thousands living without God and hope in the world , He ( Mr , O'C . ) had

      written more than any other Ban in the country upon this subject , with the exception , perhaps , of Mr . Cobbct , a man with whoso viewB he generally agreed . He had not compiled tho works of others but had written from practical experiments , having had more experience of spade husbandry than even Mr . Cobbett . Neither ( Jobden . nor others of the League would meet him on that point . They had robbed the working men of £ 50 , 000 , by forcing them to take up two shillings aud sixpenny , one shilling , aye , a&d oue penny cards , to swell the fund ; and nut content with robbing them of the just reward of their labour ; with grinding the poor to death , and converting the gristle of tlse factory child into gold , they must rob him of his

      hardearned wealth under the pretence of voluntary contribution , tho dirty rascals . These men never talked of the burdens of oppressed industry ; they boasted of our achievements in China—that the British flag floated a . t Pckin , and that tliey would wear clothes manufactured Iy British slavea . But they tell you not of tho opirauves starving in your posr law bastileB . "There were only two classes who had no retiring salary—the workiug claescs and the par sons . The working man was compelled to louk to his own resources , and the parson was uevt r too old or too ugly to work . They heard occasionally of a Judge retiring from age , or an admiral on halfpay , but tbey never heard of a retiring or half-pay Bihhop—ii they had one foot in the grave and the

      other scarce Out , they were not loo old or too imbecile to save souls , though the soldier was often too oIj to save their bodies , and must have a retiring pension . Mr . O'Connor then showed that a Government composed of Bright , Cobdeu , and other F « -e Traders would be equally as interested io keeping up the Army , Navy , and State Church as the present rulers - It was for advocating these beneficial changes that he was called a leveller , a destructive , a very devil . A Croydon Jury only valued his character at twenty shilling ? , and a juror stated that he would keep them locked up a fortnight before he would consent to a verdict carrying costs . Though his character was only valued a , twenty shillings , he doubted whether

      Walter would get five shillings for his reputation in any Court of the Kingdom , so thai his charac ; er was worth seventy-five per cent , more thau Walt- r's , and Waiter was not the worst of his party . Although Chartism had slept , the Morning Advertiser need not tear ; they would speedily arouse themselves . It was impossible to quell the spirit of Ireland Rebecca was a troublesome customer : they had the eouIs of tbe Scots to quiet , and the bodies of tho English , and the difficulty would be enhanced when Chartism was again in full vigour ; the present were critical times ; he had no doubt there would be more martyrs in the cause , he would not wish any one to be deceived ; in times of great peril no man should take an active or prominent part in the movement , unless he was prepared to be fouud iu the first rauk of danger , he did not mean on the battle fluid ; but the

      law's danger ' and reprobation ; they would probably suspend the Heakus Corpus , and inflict on many the laws veageahce ; but he was prepared to go on , regardless of danger or difficulties , there was something reviving ia Jihe thought that the drill serjeant had been abroad , that the middle classes were more enlightened than formerly , that when the Exchefuer was empty they were the first pounced upon ; they might rely upon it that the Queen did not visit France for nothing , the present position of Ireland and Spain waB a thorn in the side of Peel , other nations were as alive to the tide of thought as ourselves , he would fiud it difficult to follow in the Bteps of that boaBted statesman Billy Pitt ; he Mr . O'Connor had made up his mind to the course to be pursued ; he should ever reprobate the looking for foreign interfereuco with our domestio concerns ; they might rely upon it that , as

      Untitled Article

      1 in other cases , the arbitrators would run away with the priso , aud leave them the bone . It was impossible that the Government ; could go on without paying deference to the public mind ; that mind was prepared for a great change , and the change would be what the public were prepared to demand . [ Mr . O'Connor then alluded to the revolution in Greece , where , without shedding a drop of blood , iu the course of one night , the King had been forced , by a union of the military and the people , to grant them their constitutional ri « hts . Spain also was pronouncing in favour of liberty ; and even O'Connoll had declared , at his late meeting , that he would have a Parliament in College Green , and every man

      present should have a vote ; all these things were encouragement for thorn to proceed onward . After referring to the agitation for Repeal , Mr . O'Connor administered a severe castigation to Tidd Pratt , the Revising Barrister , for his conduct relative to the enrolment of the Organization . There were now two great Dictators in existence ; one was Louis Philippe on the throne of France ; the other Tidd Pratt , of Bolton-street , Picadiily . These men thought to rule the world by their sole dictum . The Chartist body had drawn up a plan of OrganizxMon , as jlegal or more legal than a lawyer would mako it , for he would be sure to leave some loop hole in it ; and Tidd Pratt , at York , before receiving the plan , had stated that the Chartists would not get him . to

      enrol Universal Suffrage ; and when he got the plan , he had the matchless audacity and the unblushing impudence to write on the margin , ia bad English , that the plan was illegal . The truth was it was too legal , so legal that he could not pick a hole in it ; and , therefore , could not make any definite objection . If the plan had been a backward step , or likely to prove an abortion , no doubt Pratt , when he consulted the Homo Secretary , would have received orders to enrol it . Did the Dictator of Bolton-street think they were made of such staff as to 0 e shaken by his dictum . He would run him through every Court in 'the kingdom up to the foot ot tho : tbrono before they should bow to his decision . He ( Mr . O'Connor ) had been appointed a responsible officer of the Organization against his

      own consent ; but he would taithf ' ully perform hie duties , and he would give a practical proof that he did not wish others to do what he did not practise himself . As soon as the cards were out he should take one for himself , send a duplicate to Tidd Pratt , and . see what he would then say . The people would not , he was sure , be disheartened by the refusal of a Government official ; they were not so easily to be cowed . He had written a letter to Tidd Pratt , which would be published . The voice of their thirty-one delegates assembled at Birmingham was not 'to be anmhilated by one man . Mr . O'Connor then stated his intention of taking a tour in the country , to enrol members , and try titles with the Government ; and concluded , amid much applause , & btUUa&t and . « &ctive lecture .

      Mr . Overton moved , and Mr . Cowan seconded , a vote of thanks , which Mr . O'Connor briefly acknowledged ; and in return , moved a vote of thanks to Mr . Parker , the Chairman . Mr . Wheeler seconded the motion , which was unanimously agreed to ; and the meeting dispersed , giving cheern for the Charter , the Organization , O'Connor and the Star . Ac . &o .

      at the Market Cross , to very numerous and attentive audiences , composed principally of tbe working ; with a slight sprinkling of the middle , classes ; all of whom seemed more or less gratified with what fell from the lips of tbe lecturer . Mr . Dickinson traced , in a very clear manner , the manifold evils arising from corrupt and partial legislation ; and demonstrated , from indisputable data , that in proportion as our means of becoming happy and comfortable sa a nation had increased , so had the condition of tbe great bulk of the nation ( the working classes ) become more slavish , abject , and miserable . He ably advocated the principles of the Charter , as the only just means of restoring to the working man his long-lost rithts .
