In jjj ^ sind in stances of this kind I Lave been
coml ^ ei torepel the charge " of wantof precaution or neiHit , by directing your attention to the fact that ! L * ant of preparedness arose from your indiffer-$ ' and not from your leaders' want of precaution . " Tjpon reconsideration you have frequently found that i lave been for years preparing yoa for the adTent of * eireumstances ; but you were d « af to my , clung , indifferent to my exhortations , and regard 1 55501 myadriee . . _ ¦ . . .
It is a very thankless , but I trust not a hopeless j ^ k to endeavour to associate the ' working classes of ffl , o ; e nation , and to make them of one common •^ to Ik used for one common purpose . Having „ j < 1 so much by way of comment on tho past , I snail * app ] j my criticism to the present , in the hope rtaiii may tend to better future results . If I am tedious , and recapitulate what I have stated scoresof j ^ s before , lay the blame to your own indifference , flflc iness to learn , or forgetfulness of what you have
wn taught , rather than to my love of repetition or j ^ jixity . The Land Plan , as a means of creating jmeaurely new and isdepesdext class of labourers , jjjgken my study for years , my dream by night , my fliouelit by day , and my hope at all times . I hare frcome so fond of it , that I may be led into -jptio uancs or anger while discussing it ; but , -jjrtrth eless , I trust that-through the childish prelect ion of the parent you will see a paternal care juanifested for the offspring .
1 say that my object in tie outset was to establish ^ iaJepaidettt class of labowrers j'aaijis many attemp ts have been made by letter , speech , and resolution to thwart this my primary object , it shall be tie lead that I will ' now discuss . Parties who are plo- 'ly ignorant of the value of the Land , and of its tfpabilities , are made to say that they see , in these gaall allotments of two acres , a dread lest the English occu pants of that amount should be reduced to Irish jafdem , and many good , but shortsighted people require either that the allotments should be larger , or tlat those of two acres should be purchased
confo moas to a manufacturing town , so that thereby the omffiant may play the double part of a manufacturing and aO TCuttural labourer . Now this would at once cotattbe very root of the principle ; and , so far from im practical working liaving tiie effect of removing He surp lus hands from the artificial labour market , it would have the diametrically opposite effect 1 have always warred against man ' s instincts , which , if sot subdued by protective mildness , may be f jiwartcd into competitive injustice . Selfishness is Hie characteristic of man . It is more than habitmore than propensity—more-than custom—and can
bs only governed by the circumstances in which he is p hce-I If , then , we take a town having 5 , 000 of a manufacturing population , 1 , 000 of which is a competitive surplus , rendered competitive by circumstances over which theyliave no control , and if we locate that 1 , 000 upon allotments so contiguous to lie artificial labour market as to enable them to compete when they pleased with their former associates , I have no guarantee , you have no guarantee , those for the moment relieved of theic competition Jiare no guarantee , that they may not , if engaged in the double pursuit of agriculture and manufactures ,
still continue as a portion of the competitive powernay , as its worst section—and that it may not , as opportunity offers and circumstances press , be converted into a controlling power . Men who have nothing to rely upon but their day ' s wages ; possess within themselves all the elements of combination , and all the materials necessary for resisting their masters' aggressions . Do we not every day see that the boldest spirits brave death itself in defence of their order . Have we not witnessed thousands bearing starvation without a murmur , rather than break t : e natural code that binds them to -their- brotherhooi ? '' ' ¦ "
it , upon the other Hand , i , uuo men , or any large portion of them , relieved f » m all apprehension of wont , and released from all the conditions of confederacy , should at any time feel disposed to devote a portion of what they may term their leisure hours to artificial labour , they would , from their circumstances , oJ | jhe most obstinate , uncontrollable , and deadly enemies of the artificial labouring class . My object has been to establish a class , every man of which will have the power to arrive at a thorough knowledge of the value of his own labour , with the conviction that the artificial scale should then be
raised to the natural standard ; and that , if the agricultural labourer prefers the artificial market , he will have a standard by which he will be enabled to judge of Ms value . I have always made what struck me to be the proper distinction between small farms and allotments . The allotments I have shown to be merely necessary , and maybe Tery small , say ile ei ghth of an acre , for growing vegetables and Sowers , and affording amusement to the families of those who are otherwise employed , while I have shewn that the only amount of Land that can be valuable to a man -who performs no other labour , is
just that quantity which he can conveniently cultivate . If he Las more than he can cultivate , he pays rent for what he does not require . If he has less , he Is deficient ! ofj the means of developing the fulj value of his whole labour . The great question , then , was to agree upon the proper amount ; and I stated that no man , with the aid of three orfour well-grown children , could cultivate even so much as two acres to the highest advantage . Some persons , however , with capacious notions , and without a particle of practical knowledge upon the subject , lay it down that a man and his family could not east upon two acres of
ground ; and straightway a new principle , a very dangerous principle , is sought to be introduced—the principle of establishing a kind of hermaphrodite society of half agricultural labourers and half manufacturing slaves . I never dreamt that all at once the occupants of a single district , contiguous to a manufacturing labour market , would betake themselves , as if by magic , to an agricultural life ; but I was convinced that the charm of that simple state presents so many unmistakeable comforts , that , by degrees , thev would be weaned from that which entailed
the greatest drudgery , the greatest dependence , the greatest uncertainty ^ and the greatest amount of servility . Notwithstanding my reliance upon this charm , however , I still feel assured that this novel undertaking must be entered upon with as few inducements to complete , and as many to emulate , as iwsablc . "We must not admit the principle that we are going to establish an association of this heterogeneous kind , because " the very belief that the double Kscource is necessary , will lead to non-reliance upon that which of itself is abundant .
Like the factions , iowever , plenty , two strings to your bow and a choice of markets , is a good " car , " ^ d faction thrives better upon a good " cry" than upon the best principle . I am provoked to make those remarks in consequence of a speech delivered bj a person whom Imustpresume to bea shareholder , at the meeting held on Sunday week last at Dewskury , and the resolutions emanating from which were published in last Saturday ' s Star . This gentleman appears to me to nave had ample reasons for not becoming a shareholder , and , perhaps , as ample reasons for now discovering the awkwardness of his position , and in another speech , or in a comment On all the speeches , there are so many straw-men
knocked down by this one man of steel , that we were fordbly reminded of poor Mr . Bradshaw , and bis opponent Mr . Smith , in "Chambers' Employer and Employed . " If the society was use oxmhoxaixt to give £ 15 16 s . Si . to each member as he was located , the society would then be very foolish , and the realisation woiddhevery FBomxuAiicAi . indeed . If tie society were to exonerate all its . located members from all consideration of those not located , the society would be anything but paternal . If the society was to undertake to divide £ 37 , 000 amongst the 2 , 000 original members , the society may not hB enabled to perform it , and so far the society would fail ! and all this too from an AjmnuAitt hesi .
'To The Worklng-Cmssesr^™; - Itfr Tebt M...
"We are not let , into the secret whetherthe matter to which I now allude was delivered to the meeting in a speech , or whether it was kikdly sent by way of comment on all the speeches—but this much I do know , that it savours very strongly indeed of existetg mfticoliies with which / theforthcoming Conference will have no difficulty whatever ^ in dealing . Difficulties which I and my brother directors have considered over and over again , and difficulties , the facility of correcting which I have explained to itobe than ohb philosopher . But , perhaps , it was . thought more prudent to comment upon them before they were corrected .
In this very egotistical and very inconclusive commentary , we are told that the rent of £ 5 a-year for what the society proposes to give , and vrillgire , is a mere arbitrary rent—a high rent—the apportioning of which will have anything but a salutary effect upon the sale of the Land , because it will be burdened by cottages and population . ' In passing , I here repeat my old assertion , that 2 , 000 men in England will not , as individuals , get what the society proposes to give them , - and wra give to thetrti for £ 10 a-year . Those gentlemen , who would so spitefully nibble at the details of this Land Plan , appear to lose sight altogether of the following facts : — Firstly , that it breaks through the law of primogeniture . " .- ;; :, . >
Secondly , that it brings the Land from the whole sale : into the retail market , and thereby- makes it available to individual purposes , by giving each man the exact quantity he requires for the exercise of free labour . ¦ Thirdly , that without co-operation it could not be done at all , and fourthly , and above all , for reasons that I have assigned before , neither landlords , manufacturers , capitalists , nor Government , will undertake to forward the principle of sub-dividing the Land for the purposes of free labour .
JJow , my friends , apart from any opposing doetrine , I submit to you the following simple principle for your consideration : —Land is the thing that produces everything upon which you live , and which gives you every comfort you enjoy . The witholding of the Land from you hitherto has subjected your wages to that capricious scale by which capitalists would measure it . The Land is a thing daily purchased as an article of traffic in the wholesale market . No attempt till now has ever yet been made to subdue it to your uses by bringing it into the retail market . By the application of as much labour as the health of each occupant will allow them respectively and comfortably to devote to agricultural purposes , I hope to create a class of free labourers so large as to set an example worthy of imitation to the working classes of the country .
In propounding this principle for practical working to the last Chartist Convention , I stated that what was then done in the way of detail must be taken as mere guess . That it would require five weeks to consider and mature all the machinery necessary for carrying out the principle , but that when we had 2 , 000 enrolled members , that then , according to the true spirit of popular representation , they , by themselves or their delegates , would be
called together to amend and alter the rules as far as necessity required . I was aware that each day ' s consideration would considerably inure the public mind for that day ' s discussion , and , therefore , although many attempts have been made to force me into a controversy by anonymous . writers , by friends , and by foes , I have abstained from offering any suggestion as to the required alterations , while I have placed the question before you in such a way as was likely to insure consideration and sound action .
Then you will understand that my object is to buy the Land in the wholesale market , and to divide it in the retail market , with such profit and such bene fits as the wholesale purchaser in any other commodity derives from his traffic . Such is the whole pkuvwhile you are called together without reference to £ 37 , 000 surplus , or anything beyond the honourable working of the principle , to say what the profit accruing to each retail purchaser out of the consolidated fund shall be , and how it shall he secured to
him , and , if you can't do that , don't blame me . There is nothing on earth more easy . I have shown you before , that if 1 , 000 individuals require a hat each , that each may have to give 12 s . for the hat , whereas if the thousand club their money , they may , by cooperation , avail themselves of the retail profit , and purchase a hat for Ss . each . Even this is not a parallel case ; because , as retail purchasers of hats ; you should pay the manufacturing profit , whereas you save it in the manufacture of Land .
Now , notwithstanding this simple illustration , our critics wsuld actually persuade us that the building of cottages , and better manufacture of the Land , would deteriorate the value of the property . It is remarkable how every scheme for acquiring large interest , undertaken by the trading class , either receives the co-operation of the critics , or passes uncensured , while , curious to say , every proposition made for the benefit of the most powerful of all classes , is considered as a Utopian , impracticable scheme . Some go so far , in the midst of starvation , as to ask sagaciously , " What shall we do with the surplus ? " while others cry out , "Lo ! we shall
starve 1 " Others say , " How can you give £ 15 out of a fund to each of 2 , 000 persons , who only pay £ 2 10 s . each ? " If they got it all , each of the 2 , 000 at ose axd the same iijie , it would be a very difficult problem to solve ; but when they receive it out of the certain profits arising out of the co-operative fund , at such times as that fund will afford it , then the difficulty is no difficulty at all . I have told you how to get the Land ; I will assist you la showing you how to make the best use of it ; and then I will devote my every moment to instruct the occupants , as they are allotted , in the art and practice of agriculture , which I understand better than all the scribblers that ever wrote upon the subject .
I was proceeding with the further consideration of the subject , when I received the following gratifying letter and resolutions from the good men of Derby : — ' Peak Sie , — "We rejoice in the glorious progress making by our association , and are' anxious for another visit from Doyle : will you hare the goodness to present our best respects to him , and that we hope he is growing fat upon his ten bob a-week . Go on , sir , and n « ver mind therailings of the disappointed , or the ravings of madmen . Yours respectfully , Wh . Cbabtke . At a general meeting of the members of the land Society , held on Sunday night , Nov . 16 th , the followin resolutions were unanimously agreed upon : —
The Onanist Co-operative Land Society to consist of an unlimited number of members , but that it be divided into divisions of 6000 each . That the society be enrolled , providing the name and objects are not altered in consequence of enrolment . That the members be so located as the opinion of the counsel directs . That Jlr . Thomas "Wilkinson , late of Derby , tut now of Manchester , be nominated by this branch as a fit and proper person to represent this district in the Manchester Land Conference . . ¦ That the board of directors be chosen by the Conference , and that the delegate that represents us in the forthcoming Conference be instructed to support the reelection of the present board of directors . the board
"We hereby tender our best thanks to of directors for their unswerving conduct in managing the affairs of the society ; and think they are perfectly justifiable in appropriating the profits arising from the sale of cards and rules to the management of the society . Working men of Derby , I thank you . This is just the protection we require . This is precisely the spirit and co-operation that I have a right to look for . The great object of- a public man should ever be to leave the largest amount of corrective power vested in the people ; thereby enabling them effectively to guard against Ms rashness , his errors , want of judgment , apo & tacy , or deceit . If then / it should be argued tha & certain parties have " become sharenolders ia the Laad scheme , in corisequence of the
'To The Worklng-Cmssesr^™; - Itfr Tebt M...
fascinating inducements held out in the preliminary resolutions , here is the largest amount of protection for tbatclass . If any alteration , should be , made in the rules which would justify or induce those now holding shares to abandon the project in consequence of . such alteration , in such " case I shall ; submit the following resolution to the forthcoming ; Conference : —¦• • .- ,.. . '"" . . ' -, .- ' , ' - ; - ' .

in the rules for the government of the Chartist'Cooperative Land Association , as to us . seemed best calculated to secure the just and equal working of the principle ; and if any parties have subscribed solely from the inducements held out .. in . the preliminary rules , ' and . are ; now dissatisfied with , the ; alterations made by this Conference , this Conference decides that each shareholder , so situated , shall receive back the full amount of monies paid by him as a shareholder in the above Association ; and that the directors or trustees , as the case may be , are hereby empowered to carry this resolution into full effect . " .
Now , my friends , you have : always had the full benefit of my suggestions and exertion , and I think the foregoing resolution gives you the largest amount of protective power against my ; ighbrMce rmy folly my want of judgment , or : my tdeceit . .

Spain. . * .- • -General Cordova Has Res...
SPAIN . . * .- -General Cordova has resigned his command as Captain-General of Madrid , and his resignation has beenaecepted . ¦ • - *• ¦¦¦ Madrid , Nov . 9 . —Accounts from Valencia to the oth instant , which have reached Madrid by the ordinary mail , concur in showing that the insurrectionary attempt of ; the 3 rd was a purely military movement . The provincial regiment of Gerona , which is on duty at Valencia , was one that took part in the Meant and Carthagena movement last year ; and it is said that General Ruiz , who was at the head of the Carthagena Junta , was mixed up with the present attempt ; the Colone of the Gerona regiment , Brigadier Zapatero , was at the theatre at the time it
broke out , with many of the officers . The light company of the 1 st battalion was quartered at the convent of San Francisco , where the 2 nd battalion was quartered ; the rest of the 1 st battalion was quartered at the Barracks del Pilar , and a detachment of the light company was on duty at the house of the Captain-General Roncali . A sergeant of the light company of the 1 st battalion , named Suarez , was the leader of the mutiny , and was followed by aboutforty men of the company ( none of the 2 nd battalion joining him ) , who rushed into the street about halt ' . past seven p . m ., firing on the guard and some officers who attempted to restrain them , and made their way to
the Pilar barracks , expecting to bo joined by the battalion to which they belonged ; but notice of the attempt had already been sent there , and when they arrived , in company with some -few townsmen who had joined them , they were fired upon by the guard , and finding themselves thus unsupported by their own regiment , and theauthorites and troops in movement on all sides , Sergeant Suarez exclaimed that all was lost , and they dispersed , the sergeant escaping , but the rest are stated ; to have been ultimately taken . Private letters from Valencia ] mention that two of the officers wounded . on the night of the 3 rd have died .
CosspiKAcr in Barcelona . —Letters from Barcelona state that a" conspiracy had been discovered in that city on the 10 th inst . MuoRin , Nov . 11 . —The soldiers that took part in the insurrection at Valencia have been tried by Court-martial , of whom twelve have been sentenced to death , and , by the latest accounts , ten of these unfortunate persons were on tho way to the place of execution . It appears ; also , that several of the most respectable citizens of -Valencia-had been banished from that place oh twenty-four hours' notice , without trial , or any known proof that they had been implicated in the affair at all . Accounts from Madrid of the 12 th inst . confirm the report of some insurrectionary movements ' at Barcelona . Martial law had been proclaimed ; and it was believed by the authorities there that General Prim , now residing at Marseilles , had organised a plot , and was preparing to invade either Catalonia or Valencia , at the head of a body of emigrants .
PORTUGAL . Lisbon , Nov . 9 ih . —The Government papers still continue prognosticating revolts and conspiracies of anarchists . The Government countenances these rumours by an occasional decree from Don Jose ' s department , denouncing parties engaged in attempts to raise the people and seduce the soldiery . The two last of these decrees implicate a dismissed parish priest and an ex-professor of the university . The government papers likewise talk of guerillas in a state of incipient organisation . There is no organised conspiracy , but there is a desperate state of discontent in all the provinces , arising from the rapacity of government , and its local agents , and the universal poverty that prevails throughout the country , This is "the rebellion of the belly" which is to be apprehended .
ITALY . Coxflkt at Bologna . —The Constitwtiomwl says , " Letters from the frontier of Romagna , dated the 4 th inst ., state that in the evenings of the 1 st and 2 d a sanguinary conflict took place at Bologna between the Swiss , on the one part , and the Pontifical dragoons and custom-house guards on the other , f he troops were subsequently confined to their barracks . Cardinal Cazoni , legate of the province , wished to bring the volunteers of the country into the town , but the municipal authorities gave him to understand that this would increase the disturbances , as the Bolognese were ever adverse to this corps . In
its stead they proposed to call the citizens to arms in the form of a civic guard ; but as the formation of such a guard is one of the demands comprised in the manifesto of the insurgents of Rimini , the Cardinal became alarmed , and refused the offer , but at the same time relinquished the idea of calling in the volunteers . It is also said that disturbances have occurred at Perugia , towards which town a column of Swiss was on its march . The sentences of the commission at Ravenna , anterior to the late disturbances , have been confirmed at Rome . More than forty persons have been condemned to the galleys for various periods . "
UNITED STATES : The steam-ship Great Britain { arrived at Liverpool , on Tuesday last , bringing advices from New York to the 28 th ult . It is stated in the American papers that Mr . Polk will take a stand as regards the occupation of the Oregon territory in accordance with the opinion he has already expressed in his inaugural address , and that he will assert the unquestionable right of the Republic of the United States to the whole of this territory . It is further asserted that the President has refused the offer of leaving the matter to a third party . From Canada , we learn that active preparations are going on for the military defence of that colony .
TURKFX Terrific and Destrdctivb Fire . —One-half of the town of the Dardanelles has been destroyed by fire . At . half-past eleven a . m ., of the 25 th October ,, the fire commenced in the Greek quarter , a gale of wind from the north-east blowing at the time . Although it was so early in the day , and 2 , 000 Turkish troops , with twelve fire-engines , were on the spot as soon as the alarm was given , it was impossible to stop the ravages of the all-consuming element , and twenty houses were destroyed before any efficacious aid was given . Much might have been done had the engines been in good order ; but owing to the gross neglect of Ibrahim Pacha , the governor of the town , not one of them could be made to work . Had is not been for the assistance of two Turkish colonists with a handful of soldiers , and the European residents , who occupied themselves in pulling dewn houses , and regulating the scanty supply of water , the fire
would never have been arrested in its progress . ± ne presence of the Pacha was of little use , as is commands being enforced by the whip , no one would work with good will . This terrible fire was not subdued until half-past two a . m . of the 2 ? th , having lasted thirty-nine hours . The whole of the Greek and Jewish quarters with the exception of about forty houses , one half of the Armenian quarter , about 100 Turkish houses , three mosques , a synagogue , 100 shops , and a large bath , have fallen a prey to the flames . xH least , 600 houses have been destrayed , and as in many 0 ^ them four to five families lived together , there are - about 1 , 200 families without a home . Of this numhr-r , one-half have taken refuge m the barracks , and t w 0 adjoining villages , 300 hare found an asylum m t ' ne remainin ! part of the town , and the rest are ey . p 03 ed to the inclemency of = the weather , or are sheltered for the time being in tents , fhemisery is ver y great andthe mt a npm clung

THE CAUCASUS . ANOTHER SANGUINARY BATTLE . Tremsonb , Oct . Vj . —Our letters from the'Caucasus are to the 7 th of October ( by way of Tiflis am ! Redut Kaleh . ) -A sanguinary battle was fought on the 28 th ot September , in the Daghestan , near the Russian fortress Wuesapuo , on the right bank of the river Kamboulat . A Russian convoy was proceeding from Gotselaul of Temyr-Chautschoura to supply the latter fortress with ammunition and provisions , of which the garrison was much in want , all communieation having been intercepted during several weeks by numerous bands of Tschetschenses and Lesgians , who occupied the upper valley of the Soulak , whilst the mountaineers of the ease of Daghestan intercepted the roads which lead from

General Freytag , who commands at Goaselaul , caused the great convoy , composed of 300 mules and 700 draught horses , to be escorted by four battalions of infantry , six pieces of cannon , and 600 Cossacks . Scharnyl , who at present inhabits Aoul-Bouternsa , having been apprised by his spies of the departure of this convoy , assembled in the greatest haste his warriors of the tribes of the great Tschetschnagea , and despatched his zealous partisan , the Naib Hadj-Mahom ' a , with all his cavalry , towards Wuesapuo ; whilst he himself , with several thousand infantry proceeded to the valley of theSaulah . Hadj . Mahoma attacked the Russian convoy with' 2 , 000
cavalry , at the moment it was crossing the Kamboulat , vithin sight of the fortress of Wuesapuo . A furious engagement ensued on the right rank . The Tschetschenses cavalry overthrew the Russian infantay which had crossed the river , and sabred several companies to a man ; The Circassians never showed more spirit . The garrison of the fortress came to the aid of the escort , and forced the mountaineers by the fire of their artillery to retreat . —But more than 400 beasts of burden which could not cross the river were carried off to the mountains . Hadj . Mahoma in this affair made a considerable capture of ammunition , of which Scharnyl was in the greatest need .

. Brother Diamond * hyleloqueat terns- / responded . He said , he thought no oae ^ wouli attempt a * this tin » e of day to deny that the peopleswere the source ef allipowiv ; but at present they had veryttttie to doinith tbeexeroite of that power . If the wealth producer ' s- would' hut fonm ; one grandphalanxforUnlyen > ahSuffrage ; . tins * powerwauld then very speedily be acknowledged , ; But wMlo one called himself an " Independent ShartUt , " another a > " Complete Suffragist , " and were thus divided , . tbeut weakness would still lay them open to oppression . ( Hea » , hea » jj . Therefore , he said , let them unite ; under one general banner , and the things enumerated io > the toast woulA soon bo theirs . ( Load cheers . )
The CiiAiiiMAN said , he now nose to propose the toast of the evening— " The health of BrotherJohn' © ordard , may he live long to enjoy the confidence of hie-brothers in union , and may his example be followed' by many thousands of the working classes . * In giving this toast he had also the pleasure , on hehaW of the lodge , to present him the cup he held In his hand . ' The cup is a handsome , embossed , ' richly chased , silver one , of exquisite workmanship , and bears the following , inscription ;— " As a token of respect to Brother John © ordard , ft-wathe London lodge of tho F . S . O . C . of Gmt Britain , for bis services as treasurer , and untiring exertions in supporting general union , and the rights of the working classes ,
November , 1845 . " . Brother Gordard had been a member of the general union from the very onset . His worth was well known to them , and duly appreciated . His conduct had ever been consistent and undeviating . lie was a perfect democrat in the true and literal sense of the word , he , to use the language of Juilan Harney , "knew no foreigners , " alt men were brethren , and he upheld a general union to support their dearest interests . He hoped , the cup he now presented would be handed down to posterity , as an incentive for unborn genvrutions to follow the brilliant example sot by Brother John Gordard . ( Great cheering . ) The cup having been presented , the brethren and visiters present rose and honoured the toast with three times three and one cheer more .
Brother Gokdaed rose , and the cheering was renewed . He said he cordially thanked them for the confidence they reposed in him , and the handsome prtsent they had been pleased to make him . The working classes were not represented in the Legislature , and hexce he waa in favour of trades combinations for self-proteetion . He believed that if the people had representation according to . the principles of the People ' s Charter , trades sombinations would be unnecessary ; and he really did think that as all men contributed to the support ot' the State , so should every man have a voice in controling the affairs of
the State . The aristocracy combined , and had their clubs and reading-rooms , and why should not the working classes also hare theirs ? ( Hear , hear . ) He did not think they should ever enjoy true hnppiness , until equal right and equal laws prevailed . ( Loud cheers . ) He again thanked thsm for their confidence and liberality , and would take the ' liberty of proposing— "The health of Thomas Slingsby Buncombe , the representative of the industrious millions in the House of Commons . " Drank with three times three and one cheer more , upstanding and uncovered .
. The Chairman next gave " The General Union of Carpenters , and all other honourable societies of working men . Itay their endeavours to obtain evenhanded justice , and a fair remuneration for their labour , be crowned with success . " . ' , Bbother Soulsbt , in responding , said this had ever been a momentous question with him . . He had embraced it , seeing no way . of effecting the social amelioration oi the working classes , without a general union , without consolidation . A new era had arrived . Through the indomitable perseverance of an O Cornier , and the integrity of the glorious "A ' ortkem Stay , " a . happier state ot things was approaching . "Working men had now learned the advantages couferrcd by consolidation and general union ( loud cheers ) , and they now see the necessity , not only of producing wealth , hut also of enjoying a much larger share of that ' wealth than they had hitherto done .
A Land plan had been sent forth to the world , it had been taken up ^ with great spirit , and would speedily grasp many thousands in its embrace . ( Cheers ) . They had been taunted and told that they were not able to manage their own affairs . He would point those sneerers to their trades' officers . Did they not always choose the most steady , the most intelligent , the most moral men , possessed of the highest integrity % ( Loud cheers . ) Let but the working classes become united—let England , Ireland , and Scotland be as one , and theuwe may do more than talk of " evenhanded justice . " Then , not even the power of an Iron Duke , or the machinations of Sir Robert Peel , would be able to prevail against the working men . The CHAIRMAN nest gave— " The National Organisation of Trades for the Protection of Industry . May the working classes see the necessity of supporting it , and may it be enabled to prevent the inroads of capital . "
Brother Jons Bvsu , vice-president of tho Association for the Protection of Indu -try , in responding , said : The Association now toasted , and which lie had the honour to be connected with , was established under the able presidency of Thomas Slingsby Buncombe , M . P . —( loud cheers)—for the more c-fteotual union of the working classes ; and during the last few weeks they had acquired a large accession to their numbers in England , Ireland , and Scotland . That such an association was necessary lie thought would be readily admitted . ( Hear , hear . ) A very forcible example of the benefit of their association had just bten shown . The tin-plate workers had been out . The masters said to the men ; "We will starve you
into compliance ; " but the men rejoined , " You might have done that when we were isolated , but we now form a portion of the National Association for the Protectien of Industry , and , happily , that is now impossible . " , The consequence was , that in two days after this the masters cent for the men , and they were now at work at an increased rate of wages . ( Great cheering . ) Brother Bush next entered most lucidly into the objects sought to be obtained by theAssociatiiin for the Employment of Labour in Agriculture and Manufactures , and showed the great , advantage of having Land on which to employ the surplus labour and manufactories of their own , 3 tr . Bua & resumed his seat much applauded .
The Ch / luuu ' sc said the neat toast he had : fc > propose came home to the breast of every nw »> and quiie sure Bu was they would all heartily respond 4 » it » It Wv»— " XSie People ' s Charter . Slay it speedily become the-law of tiia land ; and may all men exiled for advocating its 3 > Bi » - eiples , and the freedom of opinion ,, be recalled to- eujo-jits . benefits . " Brother HoTcauwis- said : He regretted his- ina ^ ailiiy to do justice to this excellent segment . Ho thoug & i it was nscessary , in ordes-to-carry suit that isatiment , that all should unite . It -was high time the : exiled p & Jaiots was jrestored . ( jLoud cheers . );
Mr . EhKcan . STAXJWfoon h & Yrng been called o » i . rose amidiloud eheering to respond , and said , —It gswa him un & ignedi pleasure to hear the "People ' s Charter " toasted kj such a respectable body of tradesmen ,, and so welLieceated . Orae of the grave objections urged against & e-peop &> possessing the franchise was , theiv want of intelligense , and their inability touso the suffrage ; now ho . segued ^ first , that as all contributed to the State—ss should all enjoy a vote in the election of thosamen who , mad « thc laws for the guidance of the State -, ( hear , hear % ); and secondly , that the charge of ignorance was . unfounded , aufl he thought those who made the charge must have a face of brass , seeing how ignorautly the affairs of State
were at present managed , and bow often we were on the verge of famine and the very brink of revolution . ( Jipud cheers . ) Lord Brougham had said , the working passes , in addition to being tillers of the soil , workers is ; mines ,, fabricators of clothing , and builders of houses , were tl * authors of five-sixths of the works of art anA science . ( Loud applause . ) Mr . Stallwood next pointed out numerous instance in which the sons of toil had occuj / ied stations of the highest importance , and-with . the greatest ability . He admired that kind of feeling wliu-b . had prompted them to couple the restoration of the paMotfe exiles with the sentiment of the " People ' s Charter . " Ho cordially thanked them for proposing such a noble sentiment . . ilv . Stallwood sat down much applauded .
Brother GoanAan said , —He was entrusted with a most noble toast . They had payed him a , marked and ' very handsome compliment to-night for his advocacy of general union , but had it not been that he had mixed in political circles , he should not have keen the advocate of a general union of trades . It was in the school formerly denominated '' Radicalism , " that he learnt the advantage of union . ( Hear , hear . ) The sentiment he had to propose was , — "Health , happiness , and long life to Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., the proprietor of the . Zvortfcmi Star ; may he ever continue the friend and advocate of tho : working classes . ' As a politician hi > lnd known Mr . O'Connor a long time ; andateired his unds-idating consistency and principles .
