THE _DUNFERMLINE MODE OF MAKING THEIR " _GRUMBLINGS _W BItT . " Js 31101115 1 ; column will be found an account of the late Dunfermline " Riots , " differing materially from those _wcgavelastweek , from _the"yr _^ 7 itcncd _* _-to-deatfc " corcespondentof the Times . In noticingthematter on tliat occasion we expressed our conviction that the "Writer of the inflated " yarns" that appeared in tho Times had either allowed his fears to run away with his judgment , or that he was hascly lending himself to a most unworthy purpose . The facts have proved ihat we were correct in one or other of onr suppositions : we do not now eare to say which .
So , then , all the story ahout " a deliberate conspiracy , for the most murderous purpose , " and ahout _« aregular hand of conspirators organised and disciplined -with watchwords and signals , bound together under obli gations of secresy , and with hearts to coxcote and heads to EXECUTE ANY CRIMES however atrocious , " turns out to be an affair got np by a few thoughtless logs , and joined in hy others withont concert or consideration ! " What a falling off is there ! " A real " conspiracy , " of such a
formidable character as the alarmist ofthe Times indicated ; one which had spread such fear around that those in the secret "durst not communicate information to the authorities ; " a " conspiracy" of Has _gori would have been a source of " thrilling interest , * as the melo-dramatistssay , in those _ovct-quiet times : bnt for the curtain to rise on a mere " boys' frolic , " terminating in an " ordinary riot" —lo ! what a disappointmen _£ ! Wiere we made judge of the actors in such a " sorry come off , " we would punish them severely for engaging in so petty an affair !
The friend who forwarded the page of the Dm » jermlineJourncd containing the " corrected account " we ive in another place * , accompanied it by the following letter : — JIb . Editob , —Eeceive enclosed a _correct account ofthe Bnnfermlme riots . The press has magnified them ; making little things appear great . The people of Dunfermline stood high during the agitation for the Charter . 1 trust they know their rights ; and know how to retain -what they have , and recover their long lost ones . I will give one instance of tlieir discernment . When Jfr Brewster followed ilr . O'Connor from place to place , endeavouring by every foul means to bring that good wan into disrespect , ffaie people in Dunfermline licarfi them
both ; and , although many differed in tlieir views with Mr . O'Connor , yet , notwithstanding all _thatMv . Brewster said , the people stood hy Jfr . O'Connor , hclievinghim to lie an honest , npriglit _, persevering , and brave patriot . And Who , in all the kingdom , are more alive to their rights , I would ask , than _tbepeoplnof DnnfermlineI In the year 1 SJ 2 , who , amongst all the towns , stood forth like they ? 2 fone . They resolved to drop taVang , and have a little action . They ceased from lahour for the space of eight days , waiting to see if any would foUow their example . None did follow . Had it been so , it might have been betterforall to-day . You may taunt ns with being moral-force men ; "but moral force mast he in front , and the bayonets behind . —A Constant Reader .
Just so : that s what we have always said ! The bayonets behind ! yes , that ' s the right sort of " moral force . " That ' s the sort tee can do with : but then your real" downright , " " up-to-the-marli" " moral force philosopher" wont hear of a bayonet at all ! We presume " A Constant Reader" would not bave the bayonets merely to pick teeth with . He would have them "behind , " to be ready in case they were needed . 35 ut the mere mention of the name of a bayonet is sufficient to turn a full-fledged " moral force" man sick 1 ' He cannot contemplate any circumstances that would justify a resort to violent measures . " It was at tltesc squeamish white-livered politicians that we sneered , and not at those who , while they put " moral force" in thc front , have the bayonet behind . If the Dunfermline people are of this sort , our "taunt / ' as' - A Constant Header" calls it , dees not applr .
" A Constant Reader" also says that the people of Dunfermline know their rights : and know how to retain what tlicy have . "V 7 e sincerely hope that be speaks tlie truth 1 There is an attempt on the part cf ihe Messrs . _Aiexaxder , TO TAKE FllOM "what they have ; " an attempt which , if successful , will soon be followed by a genera ! reduction of the poor "SHARE" the table-linen weavers receive . "Will _ihose weavers see that they DO "retain what they lave ? " Will they belong to the " race" of "grumblers "—those that grumble to some _purposethose whose _grnmblinss , when heard and FELT ,
wahle them to lice comfortably and well ! The secset they will find in another column : let them he sure to learn it , and put thc '" knowledge " they thus acquire in force , to the preventing of the abstraction of the "balls of fat" out of their "nice MESS of broth "! Of course in doing this , tier will place " moral force" is . front ; but we trast tint thev vriU not _forget to have the "bayonefs behind : " and before they give up their "balls of fat , " make "balls" of another sort heard and FELT too I Wc arc " moral-force" advocates of the

districts wheat harvest will scarcely be began till about the middle of September . Prom Ireland we continue to receive satisfactory accounts of the weather and the crops . In the southern parts ofthe island a good deal of corn has already been carried , and farmers , we are toid , express , themselves satisfied with the result . By the reports received this week from the United States W 8 learn ( that the wheat harvest had been nearly brought to a close in all the _principal states , and , though the yield was described as rather deficient in some places , the produce had been sufficiently abundant in others to bring up the total crop to more than an average . Spring corn and seeds arc reported to have been much injured by tha extreme heat and drought . Though thenewsofthe considerable rise which took place in prices of wheat in this country in Jal y liad beenreceived _atUew York , no effect had been produced thereby on the value of either flour or wheat , and business had remained in a very quiet state .
From Canada , we learn that the wheat harvest was then in active progress , and a very capital crop was expected both as regards quantity and quality . According to the most recentadvices from the continent , it appears that the weather underwent a favourable change in Germany , Holland , and France about the same time as in this country , and harvest operations had consequently made considerable progress . As yet little is known as to the probable yield , but on the whole the accounts arc much more favourable than was the cas 6 some weeks ago . On this subject the Liverpool Times of Tuesday
says : — The complete change in the weather which took place this day -week in this r _e strict , appears to have extended to all parts of the three kingdoms , anil after a whole week of the finest weather , there is still every prospect of a continuance ofit . It will be seen from the extracts from the London and country papers in another column , that the harvest has made great progress in all the southern and midland counties . Up to the end of last week , little beyond oats had been cut in South Lancashire , but the cutting of wheat commenced very generall y yesterday morning . Should the present week continue to he as fine as it now is , great progress will have been made in the wheat harvest in the north of England hefore the close of it , and in the south the greater part of the corn toH he safe . It is many years since the prospects of the country have been so alarming as they were at the beginning of last week , or since such imminent danger was so suddenly and so completely nvfrtpd .
Although it isstiilvery doubtful whether the harvest of the present year will prove a large , one chiefly owing to the general coolness of the season , yet the providential change in the weather will save us from the two great evils of a serious deficiency , and of a sudden importation of foreign grain . From the very indifferent ripening weather which prevailed until the beginning of last week , the . Quality of tlie grain is likely to bs such as to render a considerable importation both of grain and flour necessary for mixing with home-growu corn , but this w * _'l come in gradually from Canada and the United States , instead of being poured in suddenly from the Baltic ports , and its effects will be rather to improve than to injure tlie foreign trade of the country .

PROGRESS OP TIIE HARVEST . STATE OF TIIE _CB-OFS . Another week of good weather , compared _vrith wiat wc enjoyed (?) during tke months of July and August ; though the last few days have been _glor-my and cold for September . Still , the prospect of the Harvest is much better than it was a fortnight ago . Then , indeed , it was dreary ; and even now wcare far from being safe from the evils caused by a devcioic yield . Our _present prospects will bc best learned from thc Mari-lanc _Express , who this week savs : —
for bringing ihe grain crops to maturity- in tlie backward districts , anel for securing the corn where already ripe . liri _i U _: _smisliine , villi drying breezes , was precisely wliat -was wanted after so great a _qnaatily of rain _ : and these ttarou l « _HKti-. e week ; should September prove equally _faroui-jbl _, _! , the wheat harvest would terminate much _inor-ist-tisjactorlly than appeared at one time likely ; still ire mudi _-jiicstion whether any weather , lioweeer _projtitious , cas xow JUKE coon inn ii & effjecis oi- ihe wet , c-jld _seises .

oreman and hau not only got-drunk in bis work and burned a batch of bread , but had actually laughed at UieHHsehiet he committed . 'A respectable baker'of Coleman street , who called at ' Mi \ M / Fariane ' s house , and saw the condition ofthe bread , stated tliat tbe batch was quite spoiled . Tho prisoner said in his cefence , that he had a great number of customers to supply , andthorenevcr had been made any complaint whatever of his skill or attention to business . Alderman Aloon said it would appear as if the Act of Parliament were not known to bo ' in operation at all , judging from the innumerable instances of breach of contract which daily occurred . The prisenei- was sent to Bridewell to take his station on the treadmill with the two former prisoners .
BOW STItEBT . Satbuday — Yookq Thieves . — "William Joyce and George Reegan , two little boys about niue years of age , were placed at the bar hefore Mr . _Twyford chnrged with attempting to steal two pieces of timber from Thomas William Recil _, a cabinet maker engaged upon lhe wood work of the new buildings at the corner of Bloomsbury . street and Broad-street , Holborn . The prosecutor said that shortly before ten o ' clock he was in the temporary counting-house , erectediu the building ground atBloomsbury-street , when he saw the prisoners carry ing the two pieces of wood towards the fence . He immediately ran after them , bat _befora lie could overtake them they had
thrown the logs over the fence ; two _b-gger boys were waiting on the other side to receive the booty , hut as soon as they saw him they ran away , leaving their companions . Hr . Twyford told the prisoners he wanted to have the power of whipping them , hut he could not have that pleasure under existing circumstances . Ho was unwilling to send such young children to gaol , but would give tho prisoners a short imprisonment by detaining them till five o ' clock , assuring them , however , tliat they would not be let off so easily another time . The prisoners , who seemed horrified at the mere idea of tlieir punishment , were then taken back to the station , there to he confined until the risiwr of the court .
POKGEBl-. —Howard Augustine Style , who stood committed upon two charges of forgery , was brought up again this day upon a third charge . It appeared that the prisoner , accompanied by a respectable man named Diamond , called ow Mr . TomWnson , a pawnbroker , in George-street , _Bryanston-square , and requested liim to discount a hill of exchange for £ 3813 s . 6 d „ purporting to be the acceptance of 3 Ir . Withers , the confectioner . It may be recollected also that one of the previous charges against the prisoner was for forging the name of Mr . Gunter , of Berkeley-square , confectioner . Mr .
Tomlinson knowing Mr . Diamond , had no hesitation in discounting the bill , and it appears that after he discovered it was a forgery , ho was not desirous of prosecuting , but was brought forward by the police . The prisoner was formerly a chemist in Rffgent-street , and bore a good character . In this case lie had actually commenced repaying by _instalment the money of which he defrauded Mr . Tomlinson , and a letter was found upon him when he was arrested , stating amongst other things , that he had hoped to have _takoiMip _thejbill beforeit was due . —Ho was fully committed for trial .
_COMJIlTTlKO A KUISANCE I _! f THE _PiBKi—A deCGlltly dressed young man , who would not give his name was charged with exposing-his person to a young lady named ifiss Jones , in St . James _' s-park . Ranger No . 3 stated ihe offence , which ho himself witnessed , and tiie young lady corroborated his evidence . —Eliza Hall , aged 14 , said , that at a little before seven o ' clock , she was on the north side of the ornamental water , and the prisoner was there lying on the ground exposing himself . The ranger came up , and on the last witness informing him what land happened , thc man was taken into custody . The scoundrel denied having exposed his person , but he confessed having exhibited something else , in such a way as to mislead tlie young lady . He trusted tlie young lady would read the 11 th chapter of Romans , and thc motto over his worship— " Honi soit qui . ' maly pense "—and perhaps she would not then make a similar mistake . —llr . Twyford seemedforamomeut taken aback by this rhodomontade , but ultimately sent the moralising gentleman fov three months to the House of Correction .
_Tuesdat . —Extensive _Robbebt . —The court was crowded tho greater part of yesterday by salesmen anxious to hear the result of a charge preferred against Tbomas Wymhtish , a dealer in bullion , for stealing a casket containing a number of brilliants , dotibloons , gold watches , value - £ 300 and uowards , from the sale-room of Messrs , Debenliam and Storr , of ( ting-street , Covent-gartlen , their property . It appeared from the statement of Air . Clarkson , who appeared for the prosecution , and the evidence of several witnesses , that on thc 17 th of April , 1 S 44 _, a casket , containing the property above-mentioned , was sent from the bouse of Miss Fleming , pawnbroker , in St . _liartin _' s-lahc , to be put up for sale , previous to which , dealers , well known to the firm , were allowed to inspect the different articles , among
whom was the prisoner . About ono o'clock it was discovered that the casket was stolen , in consequence of _whis-li tiic doors ofthe establishment were closed to prevent any person leaving thc place until a search could be made , and it was remarkable that the prisoner was one of the foremost to submit to being searched ; but the property could not be found . The next step taken was to advertise an account of tlie robbery , and offer a reward for the recovery of the property or any portion ofit . Nothing further was heard of the property until last week , when it was discovered , . tbat shortly after the robbery the prisoner had disposed of a watch , made by Walker , of Princesstreet , Loieestcr-squaro , to a tailor named Cloughly , who went to another maker of the same name to get it repaired , and seeiiu ? that it formed a portion of thc
property stolen , aim having proceeded to the prosecutor ' s rooms , it . was identified , upon reference being made to the catalogue . The prisoner was then taken into custody , when he said that he had bought the watch at Messrs . Itohins ' s room , Piazza , Covent-garden . After the property was stolen , the prosecutors gave directions to one of their young men to go round to the different refiners and tlealers in bullion to warn them of the loss . The prisoner was present when such orders were given , and having followed the young man , ho invited him to dinner , and afterwards offered to point out to liim tlio different _placo-i where it would lie worth malting inquiries , which struck him
so forcibly that he returned and informed his employer what had taken place , and on his return to the street lie again found tho prisoner waiting for him . It was also ascertained that on the IStli April , 1844 , a refiner and jeweller , named _Colliiiirridge , residing in _Yrilderncss-rotv _, purchased a bar of gold , weighing 11 oz . 14 dwt „ . from the prisoner at SSs . Gd . per ounce , which came io £ 3 i 4 s . 2 d ., and had never on any previous occasion made so large a purchase of him , having dealt usually in small quantities of such materials , The above account is the substance ol tlio evidence of several witnesses , and after the prisoner declined savins ; anvthing in his defence , he was fully committed io jS ew « ate for trial .

There is no prospect ot this strike being brought to a close , although nineteen weeks have elapsed since its commencement , and every means have been tried to defeat the men . The masters of several cotton mills have been applied to to discharge l _' _rom their employ
all who . have relatives among the Colliers who will not sign the masters' agreement ! The owner of the collieries is a printing-master , and one of the men on strike had two daughters employed in the prinlsliop ; but when Simpson , the owner , found this out , lie immediately discharged them . The girls had worked at the place a long time , and asked what they had done ? Simpson replied : " You have done nothing ; I have nothing agaiust you ; but your father is on strike , and I wont pay you wages to support him . " This is not all ; an old infirm woman , _ttpYfatds of seventy-seven years of age , who had two grandsons , her only support when they were in work , with one shilling per week she receives from the parish , has had her shilling stopped , because the lads would not go and draw for thc knobsticks . The boys
ave only young , the one eight years of ago , the other tCll years . Yet despite these acts of Infernal tyranny , and despite the treachery of a few unprincipled lackeys—to wit : two tailors , a snob , and a maker of wheelbarrows , etc . These brave sons of the mine , real Lancashire mountaineers , arc resolutely determined to stand out until they conquer . _Topmorden Weavers . —A public meeting of the Handloom Weavers of Todmorden and the surrounding townships was convened by placard , and held in the large room of the Mechanics' Institution on thc evening of Tuesday last , to take into consideration the propriety of uniting with the "Handloom Weavers' Association for Mutual Protection . " Thc meeting was numerous and enthusiastic . A young man , whose name we did not learn , was called to the
chair , lie opened the meeting in a short and pointed speech , showing tho necessity that existed i ' or a belter understanding amongst the Ilandloom Weavers of this country . The nucleus of an association for this purpose had been formed in Wigan and Other places , and he hoped that the day was not far distant when every weaver in the kingdom would be united in the bonds of brotherly love and affection . The following resolution was moved and seconded bv Weavers , " That wc , the Handloom Weavers of Todmordcn and surrounding neighbourhood , do hereby _agreeto join , witliout ; delay , the Handloom Weavers ' association , in order , if possible , to put a stop to those unjust encroachments which are continually being ' inadeupon our labour . " Thc chairman then introduced Mr . W . Dixon , who had been appointed to represent tho Handloom Weavers of Wigan , Mr . P ., in coming forward , was loudly applauded . After a few preliminary remarks , ho said that thc objects of the Weavers' Association was to destroy that
abominable system of unprincipled homo competition which at present existed , by having a uniform list of prices , and length of pieces , iu all places where handloom weaving was performed . He . need not . tell that meeting ( for they knew by sad experience ) thc evil effects' arising from there not being a fixed standard of lengths to thc pieces . The masters , by making thc pieces a little longer at different times , liad stretched them from forty to seventy yards , but had not given them one farthing more for the extra work : in fact , it had come to this , that a turn round a six yard warping was nothing ! Six yards' extra labour was nothing to take from thc poor Weaver But if the Weaver dared to cut sis yards off the piece , lie would be sent to the treadmill as a thief and a vagabond . Mr . Dixou then said that if the Weavcrsof Todmorden considered themselves worthy of the same wages as the men of Wigan , they must demand tho same wages for the same work ! But what was the fact ? Why , there was this dillemite between thc two places : —
Mtgan List of Prices and Lengths , £ s . d 1 st . Three shuttles Ginphsm , 40 inches wide , 50 yards long , 70 picks , Ui rued—price for weaving 0 13 C 2 nd .

If on a fourshiittlc pattern lie had to weave nine yards more for sixpence less than the Whan AVcavci' ; lid if on a
hvc-shnttle pattern he had to . work nine yards more cloth for one shilling less than the Wigan masters were paying . This was certainly monstrous , that men going into the same market must demand so great a _sacrinVo from their poor slaves . Another resolution ; and the Handloom Weavers' petition _"ivere agreed to unanimously ! alter which the thanks of thc meeting were given to tho Weavers of Wigan anel ¦ Mr . Dixon , for' tlie information they had communicated . Mr . D . briefly acknowledged thc compliment , and thanks having been given to the chairman , the meeting separated .

cause , io the eariier history of his life ; perhaps it was not a worse preparation i ' or tho business of lawmaking , to have been engaged i ' or some years in preaching the gospel of truth and peace , than to have been occupied in editing the works of the infidel _llobbcs . ( Hear , ) Without reproaching liim fov his religious sentiments , it must bo said , that if he entertained views respecting civil and religious liberty at all in unison with those of Hobbes of Malmesbury _, then he bad not acted a fair and open and manly part in appealing to Protestant Dissenters for their support , without frankly and explicitly declaring as much , ( llear , hear . ) Regardless of the sneers of philosophical Radicals , ho ( Mr . Miall ) would say boldly , that his own political views and principles were based upon the New Testament .
which he took not only as his religion , but as his philosophy . Let Sir Wm . Molesworth , as a manly antagonist , eleclare whence he _ileriveel his views ami _principles . ( llear , liear . ) But to turn from him to thc school of politicians with whom he was associated ; it was quite time that their sham ami their pretence sliould be put an end to . ( Hear . ) The country had had enough of their everlasting clatter about civil and religious liberty , when almost every act of theirs proclaimed their deadly hostility to religion in every shape . ( Hear . ) Let them come no more before Protestant Dissenters for their support ; their conduct iu the last session had sufficiently revealed them ; and whatever might come of it , and however the Spectator might sneer at his ( Mr , Miall ' s ) friends as " humbugs , " at all events they would be
humbugged by tlio _K-ailical philosophers no longer . ( Cheers . ) They came with bland countenances and pretences of sympathy with the principles of Protestant Dissenters , and almost every ono of them would go away to his club , aud lump contempt and scorn upon the " saints" and the " Methodists" who had supported liim . ( Hear , hear . ) They talked now against dividing the Liberal intcrcs t , * they should have thought of that before they dealt with the Maynootli question in defiance of the majority of their friends and perilled their dearest principles . ( Hear . ) How could Sir W . Molesworth claim to represent Dissenters ? Did he not regard the chief part of their views as nonsense and superstition ? Was he not doing what his literary talent would
enable him towards putting ( town those views throughout society ? ( Hear , hear . ) Let these politicians speak out ; from Sir 11 . Peel down to Mr . Roebuck , they were insincere ; they hated the reli gion of the heart , and would do their utmost to trample on it . ( Hear . ) Those with whom he ( Mr . Miail ) acted had set their hearts upou , at all events , having a small school of sincere men , who would speak what they meant , and perform what tlicy promised . ( Hear , hear . ) Let Sir W . 'M olesworth stand upon fair and manly ground , and say ho was labouring to diffuse Ilobbes ' s opinions . The concealment , the reserve , the aristocratic haud-in-glovo manner in which he was going among Dissenters , and speaking of civil and religious liberty—it was dishonest . ( Cheers . )
Mr . Miall is right , \ h do waut " sincere men , who will speak what they mean , anil perform what they promise : " and glad are we that he is contesting the election on such principles . It is time that your " expediency-mongers" were shown to thc door _j _' aud whatever may be the result of tliis particular election , the effect that thc enunciation of such sentiments will have on the general election close at hand will be immense . In relation to this election the Tyne Mercury has tho following , every word of which we endorse " : — » It is a constant resort on tiie part of AVhiggery en occasions like this of _Southwai'k , and , indeed , generally , to pretend that there is < i certain kindred _feclinjr , and certain principles in common , between them and tlie real friends of popular freedom and
popular welfare . Tliis is always put forth . It is then argued how " impossible" it is " at present" to return for such boroughs as Soutlnvai'li or _Sil'iiicrlaiul men of " extreme principles" ( _thi-iiS the phrase ) like Mr . Miall or Col . Thompson . This is step the second . Thc third move is to attempt to alarm the people ' s party by thc fear of "letting in a Tory , " who is , in such cases , always painted and held up as some hideous monster , towards-whom all "Liberals " must of course feel a shuddering antipathy and a virtuous loathing ! Such is thc insidious argument _, "i'is falsehood all—deliberate , coolly-contrived , longconcoetcd falsehood . The words arc invariably-
contradicted by tho deeds . If thc people ' s candidate persevere , thc Whig party _invariably prove by IHBIII V _0 TK 3 that Ih _& y _jirefer seeing the Tory elected . This was the . case at ' _'Sunderland , \ _vhore somo of them openly-voted foi * "Mr . Hudson ,-whilst others stood alopf , aiid let'him in by not voting at all . This wii ! be the case at Scuthwark if Mr . Miall persevere . If they cannot carry Sir William -Molesworth , the Liberal , " chcy wiii pus in Mr , PiJcher , ' the Tory . - Of this \ ve have not tho slightest doubt , and' we would deceive ao ' _-one-. pn _,-tiiIs . poitii . ' Unless Mr . Miall ' s friends , we repeat , he strong enough to ' elect him despite of both _Yvliig and Tory , he cannot bc member for Suutliwark .
When we say this , however , let us hasten to add our earnest hope that nothing will induce Mr , Miall to retire , it is of little _prautical consequence who shall sis for the borough , during the brief remnant of thc term oi ' . the present worthless _pa-iliameut . But it is of consequence that certain parlies should be now taught the great lesson , that unless they succumb further to the demands of tho people , they shall not succeed to that power which * events are now fast tearing from the grasp of the slippery and ambiguous Peel . Oh ! no . Let us rather force tho Tories to
keep possession of a government which it is now clear they cannot manage ; Jot us give Sir Robert i ' eel A small majority in _fch-j next House of Common ? , rather than put in "WJiigs" or ** liberals" 01 anv kind , unless such terms are first openly proposed as may be worth the people ' s acceptance , the repeal ol the Septennial Act , ® * '•'• * and an extension of Suffrage , being amongst the lirst . _Persiver . inee on thu part of Mr . Aliaii , even presuming ii lo insure the election of Mr . Pitcher , we hoirl to bo oi _itreat consequence at this crisis ; and yve hope Mr . Miall aud his friends will sternly do their duty .

it is thought it must have been dug out upwards ol 200 years ago . Mr . Harrison found two of thc tools of the coiliiTS of that remote neriod ; they consist , ol a _piek-svxo and a spade .

I shall be obligcil i K ) ° _«»« you will allow mc to make a remark dr two _> upon : ift « _paragraph , On the 18 th of August a _dv-puvatiou fronrthc shoemakers waited upon me _wii-b ; - st . ucment of wages . I told them I would _cons-ider tlio matter over . They went away , and did not , come near mc again ; but having gone to the L « artiSD room on Moiidav . the 25 th of August , to hear a
lecture from Air . ' M'Grath , ono of the journeymen shoemakers attacked mc , stating to the meeting that I had refused to give the same price for work that other masters were doing , when , in fact , they had never waited upon me for an answer , after A having told them that 1 would consider the question . As to my being a professed Chartist and a pretended friend of the people , they know , and the working men of Ileywood know , that I am thc only master shoe-maker in thc town who belongs to the association ; that I am thc only one among them who took any part in tho lato local agitation for the removal ot the overbearing local oflieors ; that I am the only one amongst the master shoe-makers of lievwood
who subscribes his mite regularly for tho iorwardmg of tho principles of Chartism . _ I will conclude by stating , that-1 am willing to give any one of them , who is a matrs-nian , full work , and the priee they demantl j if tlicy will become as good and consistent a Chartist as I am . Yours respectfully , I ' . Wall . Ileywood , September 4 th , 1 _S-15 .
