The Ecosouising Of Maxuke, Mas's Dorr As...
The _Ecosouising of Maxuke , Mas ' s Dorr asd Ikiehest . —And here we cannot fail to admire the -wisdom of the design , which is doubtless intended , io lead mankind imperceptibly , as it were , into habits and practices necessary to the existence of our species . We see that In the processes of the animal economy , whereby life is sustained , there are formed , separated , and voided from the animal organism , substances endowed with qualities offensive to our senses , nauseous in proportion to their value , particularly to thc sense of smell , _ so that we are compelled to get rid of them ; and which require of man that Jhe shall pnt them away , or bury them forthwith , out of his sight , in our common parent the earth . The penalty for thc utter neglect of this duty wonld be
famine , pestilential disease , and a train of human Bis . Nevertheless , in these thing's , thought to be so utterly vile and offensive in their nature , arc contained " pearls of great price , " indeed aJi »<• uu _* price ; which , if husbanded nnd d _* :. " .-. _'lujt-jj . glcd ¦ with thc earth he cultivates , are * _- ¦ - .- Jcias of sustaining life by the production . vf Ids food . Let us cot sir that the faiiijus is a diUice product of the dunghill , without remembering that our own existence depends upon _elemcutal matter derived from that humble source . How necessary then it is , that men and nations should attend to an object of such primary importance to their existence !! IIow deep tlie obligation wc arc under to attend to the _economising of all the _ni-inares created near our abodes as one of the first of duties .
'fire _Fieui-Gjoisexeu _Comtelled to _Ecoxojhse _ibs _JLixtnE . —His operations being -conuhed to a , small area , seldom more than four or five acres of land , he is obliged , in a space so confined and with limited means , to practise this necessary economy . He is early taught to value his cow or pig , as not -merely yid _^ ng him a certain quantity of milk , or animal food , hut also as producing liim the manure absolutely necessary for lus future operations . The cow and the nig are his machines for the manufacture of manure , _and if its supply be deficient , he goes not to obtain it elsewhere , but sets up a new machine for its production , in the shape of an _additional cow or a pig . If ence he will husband it with the greatest care : manuring as lie does every crop , necessity compels him to do so , he knows his labours , without this economy , would he exerted in vain . Hence also , for thc most part , arises the superiority of small orer huge farms , in regard to their amount of produce .
Economt of _illcrcKE is _Eun * debs . —Strangers are perfectly-astonished by the frequent nianuriugs of the Flemish farmer , and arc lea to wonder how all the manure is obtained , until they observe more minutely the method of soiling cattle , & c . In every town and village you observe the greatest cleanliness , for their pavements and all dirty places are carefully swept with brooms , and hourly resorted to by professed scavengers as sources of profit ; every particle of vegetable or animal refuse is _sought out witli great
avmity lor this purpose ; and in Flanders , as in China ' , manure is quite an artiele of trade . The selling price of each descri ption is accurately defined . Towns let the _clcansins of the streets and public retiring places at great rates ; and we are informed by M . Chaptal , "that there arc in every town sworn brokers expressly for thc purpose of valuing nightsoil ; and that these brokers know the exact degree of fermentation in that manure which suits eveiy _Kml of _vegetnltle at the _diffa-ent periods of its growth . "
_^ Lodges . —If then the collection , and application to the soil of all the manure created near our abodes is the chief point , the very foundation of good iusbaiidrr , a few practical directions derived from experience , with hints relative to affairs of such importance , may be acceptable to tho reader . The _commeneement of the manufacture of manure is in thc cattle-house , tkereforc let » very exertion be made to have thc place complete . Let the building itself stand high and dry , and if possible let the animals stand at either end of it . facing each other , with a paved road-way betwixt for the convenience of feeding them This road-way must be a thoroughfare with spacious doorway . * ., so tliat your forage cart may pass _wmplctely through the building , and as it goes along , thc attendant may toss green feed on cither hand to thc cattle .
_Feediso TnocGns . —They ought to be fed outof stone , or brickwork binns or tro ughs ; the former may be easily formed by placing a double row of flag-stones on both sides of the thoroughfare and nearly across the cow-house , partly within the ground , at about thirty inches from each other , with therow jaearcst chher side of such thoroughfare standing abous a yard above the floor , and that nearest the cattle about two feet . Let thc bottom and the enclosed space so formed , be paved and dirided with ] stones at convenient distances ; when , with a light rail of wood running round the top and bolted to the stones , a series of feeding troughs will be formed and held finnly together .
_trtTTEHS , & C , WlTttlS THE COW LODGE . — -The COWS may be ranged with the binns in front , and tied in the u 5 i _* . al manner . They must enter at a door of ordinary size , close in each comer of the building , and pass along the group to their stalls , while at the corner opposite a small opening provided with a door mast be left for thc ejection of their manure . This group , as it is termed in Yorkshire , or space behind the cattle , must be at least four feet broad , most nccuratcly paved , and the joints well cemented . * fhe pavings ought to be laid down upon clay puddle , or well rammed earth , and must incline to a channel or gutter cut out of the solid , to a depth of two inches , in stones laid down in one continuous line , upon well r ommcd « l . _** . _rpuddle , aadjointedwithihebestcement . This hne of stones must have an inclination tothe manure hole , and pass under it , through tlie wall , * When while turnips arc hoed , they ought to be left _Uncter Uiar . swedes , andyoa will be able to pull them a fortnight sooner . l A _Kyoahavejny rubbish , or weeds , or poor mould , pnt { ftese things under your pigs , and when increase ;! to three or four cart loads , remove and compost tlie mess into a _SS' _-S . _fSri . e l _^ F r t 0 ? a _^ m > _** jour pigs lie well mt dtnrt be sfcudof getting too much _raanuieT—Pi per

so that the liquid manure may run freely from the floor , _vrhere it is _twewcd from the cattle , and after _, wards be collected in , and conveyed by the gutter to the tank , placed for _itsreception . without thebuild' vaS- ¦ Cibculatiox of Am ts the Cow LoME _. —With two spacious doorways in front , and one of common size behind , and the manure holes , hut all of them placed so that no currents of cold air from without may come in contact with the animals , we may depend on a free circulation of the atmosphere , and that the internal temperature , in summer , will be more agreeable and coaler , in general , than that without . In summer time these doorways may remain quite open during the day , and be only closed at night by open wicket gates , to prevent intruders ; in winter , of _coune by tight doors .
Co . _WEMENCE OF A _WELL-AUBASGED COW LODGE . — In feeding cattle , the attendant will find the cowhouse thoroughfare most convenient . With his cart , in the summer months , he may enter at one door and pass between two rows of his cattle , serve them with green food , and deposit the remainder npon the floor For future use , passing , without turning round , through the opposite door .- In winter , with _hishandbarrow full of turnip mash , or boiled roots , he may , with his shovel , serve out , by throwing into the stone troughs to each cow , her allotted portion of food , placing , as occasion requires , hay or straw in the
same receptacle , with the greatest ease and advantage to himself . The Piooebt and Pmw . — Tho piggery ought to be placed at one end of the cow-house , the privy at the other , the latter furnished with an adjoining covered shed , & c ., wherein night-soil composts may be formed , and with a urinal for the reception of whatever chamber-lye is made in the dwellings , or on the premises . The piggery must be furnished with a yard , reaching to the back of the cow-house , and both offices must have gutters to convey the fluids , voided in them , to the composting yard channels , and thence to the tank .
_CoMFOsrixo Yard . *— The commencement of the manufacture of manure will be within these offices or cattle lodges , the continuation of its manufacture in thc composting yard , which ought to be placed on a lower level , and immediately behind thc cow-house . I would enclose this important place , from tho main farm yard , by a wall six feet high , ofa semi-circular form , and nicely coped , reaching from the external wall of thc piggery to that of the privy , and embracing a roomy space , taking up on one side the length of the cow-house and breadths of the pig yard , and privy shed . An opening must be left in the centre of it , which I would close by a rustic door , of neat homely manufacture . From thfa entrance , a paved roadaboutfiveorsix feet broad , edged with flag-stones , and standing about three feet above the surface , may be formed up to the back door of the cow-house thoroughfare , so that a cart may pass through the yard and the cow-house without turning round .
Agricultural Chemistry. (Continued From ...
AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY . ( Continued from our lost . J COMBUSTION , KEDUCIIOX , DECOMPOSlTIOy , Ac . 83 . _Combustio-s . —1 . If a piece of iron wire be made red hot in oxygen gas , it burns with splendour , and increases in weight ;—the oxygen combines with the iron , and an oxide of iron is tho result . This oxide weighs as much asthe iron and oxygen together . 2 . When iron is violently heated in a smith ' s forge , it burns , in like manner , at thc surface , until it becomes covered with a scaly oxide . In both instances a real combustion takes place , oxygen is absorbed , and much heat and light are given out . 3 . When iron is exposed to moistair , it soon rusts ; now , this rusting of iron is as truly a combustion as either of the two preceding instances ; and , as Dumas remarksheat
, must be evolved also , though , we cannot detect it . Phosphorus , too , as Ave have learnt ( 13 ) , undergoes two kinds of combustion : first , with mnch violence , with light and great heat , when we burn it either in oxygen gas ( 1 ?) or in common air ; secondly , with a very faint light , visible only in thc dark , and without any heat sensible to _tliejthermomcter , when we place a stick of phosphorus in a wine-glass standing in water , and invert over it a bell-glass . In both instances there is a union ofphosphrous with oxygen , and a Teal combustion . Thus we see that a combustion of iron may take place certainly without light , and a combustion of phosphorus may proceed , and light may be given out by it without any increase of heat that is manifest to our senses or the most delicate thermometer .
83 . When charcoal is made red-hot in the air , light and heat aro given out , and the carbon vanishes . In this instance it is the air that increases in weight , and carbonic acid is formed ( 32 ) . Again , when we breathe , the air of . thc atmosphere parts with oxygen in tho lungs , and the blood in the lungs parts with carbon —where this carbon is actually burnt , whether in the lungs or in the course of circulation , is of no consequence to our inquiry : ' _carbciiic acid is given out with the breath , as is shown by the beautiful experiment of breathing tlirough lime water ( 51 ) . Nor need we trouble ourselves to biiiuire , whether all the heat given out by warmblooded animals is thc result of respiration—or , iu other words , of the combustion ofthe carbon inthe
lungs . It admits of no doubt whatever that there exists inthe blood a carbonaceous matter , capable of combustion , and of giving out much heat by that combustion . An ingenious French philosopher , after comparing a man to a steam engine , proceeds to state , thatthe manrequires two days , of twelve hours , to climb the summit of Mont Blanc . During that timehe burns (* ' . e . consumes in respiration ) on an average between ten and eleven ounces of carbon . If a steam-engine were employed to convey hiss thither , it would burn three or four times as much to do the same work . So that , considered as a mere machine , deriving movingpowcr from the carbon consumed as fuel , a man is three or lour times more powerful than the most perfect steam-engine . 8 L When a seed of barley is sown _/ tho process of germination soon commences . A little rootlet is
pushed downwards , and a leaf-bud is pushed upwards —oxygen , is absorbed , and the carbon in the seed is consumed—burnt away . Of course , no increase of heat could b » detected in a single seed of barley , bnt we know that by this act of germination the seed does actually grow warm , because , in the process of malt-making , grains of barley are made to germinate in thick layers , and the consequence is , that the heat which could not be perceived in a single seed or in a handful , is very evident in the large quantities accumulated by the malt-maker . Theloss of weight in thesced is also ascertained with great precision by those acute observers , the officers of excise . There is , therefore , in the germination of seed , and in tbe circulation of animals , a real combustion , compatible with life—with vegetable and animal life .
S 5 . Malt dried artificially , and then infused in warm water , yields a uort to the brewer , which he causes to ferment . In tho process of fermentation , carbon is combined with oxygen ; heat is given off ; _audiarlwaicaw ' jg' _-oiagenc-ateu is another form of combustion . Now it is well known that wort cannot be made" to ferment without the addition of what is called yeast . Yeast isan azotised substance . Wheat flour requires also thc addition of yeast beforeit can be fermented and made intobread . The juice ofthe grape , indeed , passes readily into a state of fermentation without the addition of yeast or any other ferment ; but the juice of the grape is itself azotised . Thc part performed by yeast in causing fermentation is not well explained , nor is much
explanation required for our purpose . It contains nitrogen—thatis the main point . SG . It is of frequent occurrence thathay imperfectly dried and hastily put together in large stacks , undergoes such violent fermentation that it becomes scriouslv deteriorated in value , sometimes quite spoiled , " and actually burnt or decomposed . Just as the seeds of barley , when heaped too much together , would become burnt and damaged in the process of malting , if neglected even for a short time . It may be said that no yeast is added to the hay—how does the fermentation arise ? The reply is , jthat in the juices of the herbage nitrogen exists ( 69 ) , in a quantity sufficient to excite and promote fermentation in the carbonaceous
matters-S 7 . It has been stated ( 4 ) , that if air be excluded , charcoal may be heated red-hot for any length of time without undergoing change . Water , however , may be mado to supply the place of air . If charcoal be made red-hot in " a tube of glass or earthenware , and a little steam be driven over it , the two elements of water unite separately with the burning carbonthe oxygen forms carbonic acid and carbonic oxide with one portion , whilst the hydrogen unites with another portion to form light carburetted hydrogen , or marsh gas , known to miners as "fire-damp . " In every wet and stagnant ditch , a similar decomposition of woody matter is constantly going forward . The carbon of dead vegetables , wliich , collected and
duly fermented , would yield , with an azotised compost , both ammonia and carbonic acid , is here worse than wasted ; for the emanations from marshes , ponds , ditches , and fens , arc deleterious to animal life . Manure is wasted below , and poison is exhaled from the surface by every stagnant pool— every swampy field . Doubtless the sun decomposes , and the wind dilutes and disperses , these pestilential effluvia : their effects uponmankind are thus modified , or at least disguised ; but poor sheep readily fall victims to the rot in low lands , and other diseases seize homed cattle when first exposed to wet and boggy mountain past ures . To drain and to improve the soil is at once to impart fertility , and to prolong animal life .
SS . Re _* opctio . v . — -The ores of iron , as extracted from mines , consist of metal which appears to have undergone some hind of combustion ( S 2 ) at a former period . Reduction is a process just the reverse of combustion . It is the reducing the burnt or oxidated iron into its metallic state—uuburning it , in short . Charcoal is employed for the purpose;—at a violent heat the oxygen is attracted from the iron by thc charcoal , the latter is burned , and tlie iron resumes its state of metal . Phosphorus is reduced in the same way . Phosphoric acid ( or phosphorus and oxygen that have undergone chemical union or combustion ) exists abundantly in bone , in which it is found mated to lime , forming bone earth or

phosphate of lime . The operative chemist first gets rid of the lime , then mixes the phosphoric acid with charcoal , heats the mixture in a fierce furnace , and so reduces the phosphorus . Charcoal , we sec , is concerned in many operations ; but we cannot reduce it from carbonie acio , any more than we can combine nitrogen and oxygen into nitric acid , except in the minutest quantity and at a great expense . We cannot unburn carbonic acid ; , yet a leaf of grass , a sprig of mint , aided by sunshine , can effect that which baffles the most cunning art of man . . ... 89 . _iDucoMPOsmos , putrefaction , or putrid fermentation , begins to take place in azotised organic substances , whether of vegetable or animal origin , as soon as these are deprived of that life which enables
them to control the tendency of their elementscarbon , oxygen , hydrogen , and nitrogen—to obey the laws of chemical affinity . The p henomena of chemical ! decomposition are infinitely various in the number , proportion , and combination ofthe several compounds that follow each other in rap id succession , according to the temperature ofthe air , the presence of moisture , the proportion of nitrogen , the admixture of sulphur , phosphorus , Ac ., —the influence of light , of shade , —the admixture of inorganic substances , Le . Under these influences , the elements of organised substances separate one from another , to combine again two and two , three and three , « fcc . The carbon with oxygen departs as carbonic oxide and carbonic acid , with hydrogen as carburetted
hydrogen ; the hydrogen with oxygen as water * , the nitrogen with hydrogen as ammonia , and as products alUed to prussic acid ; the sulphur with hydrogen as sulphuretted hydrogen ; the phosphorus with hydrogen as phosphurctted hydrogen , & c . These bodies again mingle together and combine indefinitely— " the whole presenting an inextricable labyrinth , in which actual science is bewildered and lost , with all her boasted appliances of precise apparatus , —a laboratory of death , but an invisible laboratory , —Pandora ' s box , whence have issued all the pestilences ' afflicting every age ofthe world , at the bottom of which we seem permitted to descry dimly the hope of a theory . " — - ( Raspail . ) 7 90 . & considering the influence of wate ' r _^ of light , and of any we shall have a future ] opportunity of
recordingsorae facts bearing upon these uninviting subjects , —Combustion , Reduction , Decomposition : the last of which , after all , is only another ; word ibr the first ; and there is much truth and beauty in the views rccentlv propounded by ; Dumas , who describes the vegetable kingdom as ah apparatus of reduction , the animal kingdom as an apparatus of combustion ,: the atmosphere as a mysterious , chain of connection between the one and the other .. Vegetables , according to this theory , absorb heat , and accumulate materials which they are empowered to organise . Animals merely burn and consume these organised materials , in order to derive from them warmth and locomotive power . The atmosphere formsthe bond of union between the two kingdoms , furnishing the four principal element's of plants and animals—carbon , hydrogen ,
nitrogen , and oxygen . 91 . "Waiving all . common utility and vulgar applications / there is something ennobling in knowing and understanding the operations of .

' ODD FELLOWSHIP . GENERAL MEETING OF THE -MEMBERS
Oe/F He Manchester District. 7 A Meeting...
OE / f HE MANCHESTER DISTRICT . 7 A meeting of the members of this body was lately held in the Corn Exchange , for the purpose of considering the critical position of the district generally . The meeting was numerously attended , about 1000 persons bein _<* r present a littleafter seven o ' clock , when the proceedings commenced , and more afterwards came in . On the motion of Mr . Bibby , Mr . J . Richardson White ( P . G . M . ) was unanimously called on to preside , and took the chair amidst great applause . The Chairman said , that however he might regret the necessity ofhis brethren being called together to defend their rights and liberties " as Odd Fellows , he was determined to abide by tho general laws . He
expressed his belief that the annual moveable commit-| tee at 'Glasgow had themselves broken the law ; and that the Manchester . lodges were the Independent _. P rdercf Odd Fellows as by law established , and that the aggressors were those who had taken on theinselves to expel them . He was ready to meet any ! of them face to face , and discuss the points of difference . ( Applause . ) Though gentlemen . were prepared to move and second theresolutions , he should be glad to hear any of his brethren express their opinions . ( Applause . ) In 1843 they had a fair represcntation in the annual committees , but it had now become a misrepresentation . He should be glad to see them go back to the state they wero in in 1843 . He hoped this meeting would not allow any faction
or split to take place , and thereby threaten the prosperity of the order . ( Auplause . ) Mr . Jokes ( P . P . G . M . ) , in proposing thc first resolution , regretted that such a crisis had been brought about that they were suspended , by which was meant that they were deprived of all the advantages which they expected to derive from the order . Was it to bo supposed that any of the members present had done anything whicli rendered them unfit to associate with their fellow men 1 But they had not CYen had a fair trial ; they had not been brought to the bar of commonsense . The late A . M . C' was of course legally convened , but he believed the meeting had been packed ; and its resolution had struck such a blow at the heart ' s core of the institution , that it was high
time that the lodges took the management of their affairs into their own hands . Those resolutions implied that the lodges were insolvent ; this was 9 positive untruth . The A . M . C . had founded their statistics on those ofthe Scottish Insurance Company ; and on this basis they decided that such and such payments ought to be made . But they had overlooked the facts , that great numbers joined the order simply out of curiosity , and tliat many left it without receiving any benefit ; besides , the Scottish Company paid a salary of £ 1000 , but such things were unknown in the order . He moved— "That this meeting views with profound regret the adoption of measuresby thc Glasgow A . M . C ., which arc in themselves unjust , unnecessary , and oppressive , founded on false data
and inapplicable statistical returns , which , while materially reducing funeral donations , annihilate the very name of widow , spurn the orphan , and put aside charity , hitherto deemed to be the brightest gem of the order ; and yet , notwithstanding , calling for largely increased contributions from the members , for no other purpose than to place an enormous amount of rapidly-accumulating capital ultimately wider the control of the officers of the order , for the exclusive patronage of themselves and their satelites . " ( Loud applause ) . Mr . Tatlob , in seconding the resolution , said he was one ofthe five individuals who had been held up by thc grand-master and the board of directors something in the same way that farmers held un dead
rooks , as a warning to others . ( Laughter . ) Many mig ht be ignorant of the precise cause of dispute , which he would endeavour to state . It had hitherto been the practice of all lodges to pay tho demands upon them ; andthough some few , in remote districts , might have got into difficulties , it was not in carrying out the regular objects of the order , but in supporting objects put forward by the grand-master and others , and things advertised on the back of their magazine . - ( Hear , hear . ) He alluded to the expensive regalia which had been provided , and said , though in some cases they might have paid a bonus of 10 per cent , to the order , the individuals had first put on that 10 per cent ., that it might be deducted . Grand-masters Mansfield , Ogdenand othershad
, , received multitudes of orders , not through the corresponding secretary , and a great amount of moncv had no doubt thus come into their hands . It had hitherto been supposed that those only were thc recognised tradesmen of the order who put their names on the back of the magazine ; but it ought to be known that otlier persons had been making up and manufacturing things without their names being known , aiid not deducting the 10 per cent . He made a charge of this kind against corresponding secretary Ratcliffe and he challenged him or any of his friends to deny the fact . ( Hear . ) Others who supplied these articles had truckled to Ratcliffe , and were comnletcly under his thumb ; in fact , the concentration of _' power in that man was such that hewas the greatest eneihv
01 tlie order , and all their force ought to be directed against him . ( Applause . ) He would now proceed to show that the statements put forward in the name of the G . M . and board of directors were false and collusive , * for it was a fact that the tables which had been circulated were not tliose wliich had been adopted bv the G . M . and board of directors . Mr . Sydney Mills declared that Ratcliffe never produced any such statement before thc board , and that ho never heard of it till be saw it in the Huddersfield district . ( Hear , hear . ) This conclusivel y showed that they had not acted as a board of directors . - ¦ These tables professed to be founded on all the information thev
could possibly obtain . They set out with a most extraordinary supposition—that the average age of _incmbers entering the order was 32 ( hear , hear ); it further assumed that all the members continued ' in the order till death , that all the members were married men , and that they and their wives all continued in the order till death . ( Hear , hear . ) Was not that supposition false ? - ( " Yes . " ) The next supposition was tliat every man received sick-pay , and that every widow received a funeral donation .

state that . ' 4-6 ths : ' of the . members were married men on entering the order ; and that _2- * 3 _rds of those ; who entered continued . This would be shown . from . a statement of P . G . M .. Peiser himself , _; relative , to the Apollo Lodge , showing ; that out o f did [ members , upwards of 100 had discontinued their payments- _^ ( hear _hearl ; and it was probable others might . do the same , the tables further assumed that the order was confined to those actually initiated ; while the fact was that fresh members were continually coming in and thousands were annually added-: thus filling un the places of those who went out or were excluded for arrears . And those who came in were generally _vouneer men than those who discontinued payment ; tlipv also paid a guinea for initiation , and received
no benefit from the funds for six months , au tucse facts were overlooked by the board ol directors . In the Rose of Cumberland Lodge , out of 350 members , 135 had been excluded for non-payment . Thus , the statement of those who had assumed the oHice ol directors was utterly false and unwarrantable . In the lodge just alluded to , the average age el those admitted was ffl years , instead of 32 , as assumed by the board : and that exceeded * the average ot the order . Payments had been made to the amount of £ 1 , 001 3 s . 5 d ., while the balance in favour of the lodge was £ 1 , 4 * 19 . So much for all the information which the board had been able to collect . Was it D . i such as ought to be spurned and treated with contemDt ? Were the members oh such grounds to be
called on to pay an increased amount?—{ ¦ . _•"<} . •¦ . J Ought hot those who sought to deceive them rather to be unseated and cast off ? - ( " Yes , yes !

' use how to discuss . whether tliat body _was-br was ' not legally constituted ; _. for their . proceedingsshowed they would stop at nothing . ( Hear , hear . ) Their animus was most . distinctly shown by the notices which they gave before 7 the last As M . C , for the alteration of rules—the first of which was that the . rules were tobe - binding _, on the , order for three years unless they were altered by themselves . ( Hear . ) If the government of the' country were to adopt such a course / and say that tho . laws should not be altered for three years except by the minutry , « revolution would be the consequence . ' It anDcarcd from the notice issued by the . grand master
and the board , that they were ready to reinstate lodges , and individuals who had taken no part in these proceedings ; and they . hadaheady restored some few lodges ; although , by a previous resolution , they had declared that this should hot bo done till the first of August .. In answer to the question o ! the gentleman —why they did hot stick to their representatives , and try to mend them—he would say they were too bad for that , and they ought at once get rid of them . ( Applause . ) Mr . Jackson , of the Abercrombie Lodge , Sattord , ' concurred in tho opinion that the executive body ought to be done away with , and in proof detailed some proceeding ! with , regard to the Salford lodges which appeared very arbitrary . The resolution was then put , and all but unanimously agreed
to- _^ -only . two hands being held up against it .. 7 . Mr . Coates" ( P . G : of the Earl , of Oxford Lodge ) said he had ceased to take an active part in his oivn lodge on account of the monstrous power assumed by certain individuals —( hear , hear ) . They were now in a position wliich he and others had predicted fourteen or fifteen years ago . He rejoiced to see such a spirit of independence manifested in a good cause . ( Applause . ) Every servant ought to be paid ; but to make a servant their master was cruelly unjust . He moved "That this meeting has . heard with much astonishment and disapprobation that the G . M . and Board of Directors have despotically and illegally suspended the Manchester District , without trialand witliouteyen a charge of offence , thereby making an
attack on the rights and privileges of the several members pf thc order , which it is the bouridenduty of all , for mutual and individual preservation , uncompromisingly to resist and to put down ; " ( Great applause . ) He attributed the present disturbances in the order to a co-operative trading community having sprung up amongst them ; and so long as ' this continued , justice would never be done . ( Applause . ) He alluded to different individuals who had once entertained similar sentiments to his own , but who now supported the governing body from interested motives—one because he was a " dispensation boxmaker . " ( Applause and laughter . ) Many of these men chose to attend the annual committee voluntarily , not to sit and vote—that they could not do—but
to influence the country members , by telling them that Mr . So-and-So was a most respectable man , and that they must not oppose his views . ( Applause and laughter . ) : The speaker proceeded to make some personal remarks on Mr . Gray , of the Olympic Tavern , and others ; hut he was called to order by the CiiAiBMAti , who very properly observed that _^ they had come on a respectable footing , and he hoped they would conduct themselves respectably . In tliis statement the meeting testified their concurrence by hearty applause . —Mr . Coates proceeded to say that it was impossible for the affairs of the order to bo properly conducted so long as trading matters were mixed up with tliem _^ He had seen the Grand Master and asked him his reasons for promulgating this
extraordinary order of suspension ; who alleged that he had done it in pursuance of a resolution of the board ; __ but it was clear ho had the power of acting otherwise if he had thought proper . Mr . _Whittakkr ( P . G . ofthe Earl Fitzwilliam Lodge ) seconded the resolution . It had been said that thc disatisfacwas confined to a few individuals , who ought to be excluded the order ; he therefore rejoiced to see this meeting , and hailed it as a proof that thc membors had determined to gird themselves with the armour of freedoom . ( Applause ) . They had no chance now of meeting the usurpers at the next A . M . C ; the thing had now gone too far ; it was the _growth of years , ancl the last stroke was disfranchising the lodges from sending representatives to the A , M . C ,
from winch all evils had sprung . ( Hear , hear ) . Was it to be supposed , had the lodges retained the power of sending representatives to the A . M . C , that these resolutions would ever have been passed . ( Applause . ) _TInstead of this dissatisfaction boing confined to a few individuals , it was evident it was shared in by tho majority . ( Applause . ) Would they be slaves or be free ? ( "Free" ) If they would be free , they only had to will it ; and if they would but follow those who were prepared to lead them on to the goal of freedom , the Independent Order of Odd Fellows would be independent still . ( Loud applause . ) When tho order was reformed , it must be on the basis of equal laws and equal representation . ( Applause . ) The resolution was unanimously earned , as were each of the succeeding ones . Mr . Bali . ( P . P . G . M . ) moved—" That the bondsof
tho order are unity , peace , and brotherly love ; its laws recognise no difference or superiority in religion , politics or wealth , being equal and just to all , governing precisely alike thc highest officers and the ¦ youngest brethren , and acknowledging no pre-eminence except such as may be attained by intellect and moral Tirtuc ; its perfect equality of rights and _privileges constitutes its unity , and its unity is strength . " lie observed that their government originally was one of the strongest that could bo formed—a series of little republics united together ; but it had now been converted into a despotic oligarchy . He severely censured tho conduct of Mr . Ratcliffe , and said that that individual would no doubt employ all the chicavery in his power to defeat the object of this meeting ; but if they were united , they would prevail against him . ' Mr , Harper ( P . G . of the Rose of Cumberland Lodge ) seconded the resolution .
Mr . Moody ( P . G . of the Temple Lodge ) moved' Tliat , finding by present experience that the as . sumption of uncontrolled power by ambitious and unscrupulous men leads to tlie destruction of our liberties , and the ruin of the order , this meeting declares that it is essential to the well-being of all that justice shall bo dealt out with impartiality to each ; that every man shall be deemed innocent until ho shall have been proved guilty by a , competent . tribunal ; aiid that punishment shall in no case be inflicted unless it shall have then been proved that a definite law of the order has been broken . "' ( Applause . ) lie observed that though it was alleged by the Aytounstreet gentlemen that ' their proceedings were " legal they wero unable to point out what law had been infringed by the bulk of those who had been so _uniustlv
suspended . From the spirit of the men , they were totally precluded from looking to them for any redress ; he believed they would risk the very utmost to carry their own arbitrary views . ( Hear , hear ) Tho principle of tho order was so far democratical that every one ought to have a voice in _making or altering the laws they had to obey ; but " it was well known that such had not recently been the case ' 'Mr . R . J . RiciiAnDsox ( P . G . of the Morning Star Lodge ) seconded the resolution . He said he had long foreseen what would bo the state of things if the parties in power were allowed to continue their oppressive proceedings , * he had long foreseen that the result must be a severing of tho wheat from the chaff of the good from the bad , so that the order would be improved by being reduced to its bettor half , for the benefit of posterity .

Mr . Simins , and others sold , while . . Mr ... Itatclitto himself , as appeared by the same paper , . did not refuse ; to receive presents . ( Loud applause . ); The speaker read the account of this Presentation from tne , Courier of last . Saturday ; it excited great laughter ; and was received with derisive cheers , particularly the part which spoke of Mr . Ratcliffe ' s " servitude tothe order . "—Mr . Richardson proceeded _tosayjthat the order had liitherto stood above reproach , arid had beea the means of relieving thousands of widows and orphans ; and he trusted it would be so purged that it would continue to answer this laudable purpose , and that all the lodges in the unity would gladly share in tlie work of regeneration . — ( Applause . ) . ' -.. ¦¦ _-... Mr . Sioii ( P . G . of the Shakspeare Lodge ) moved — "That to the full development of the vast eneroifiaof an immense arid benevolent society ,, as well
as to curb tyranny , afford protection from . peculation of funds , or abuse of power , each lodge should be severally represented at tho A . M . C ., as was the practice of the order up to the A .

BEWARE OF MISRULE ! SECURE YOUR . FUNDSI SPURN USURPATION ! * KEEP : NO TYRANTS ! - " , , _- . - i _. _ii ' o IBB EDITOE . OF THB _KOBTBEBN STAB . Sir , — -I avail myself of your kind offer to lay before your numerous readers thc principal causes of the prwent ! rupture in the Society of Odd Fcllows .-The Odd Fellows' Society , like most other secret societies , arose from a very trivial cause ; and has been in existence about thirty-five ; yeara . Its progress iri the beginning was slowj ; jbut within the last twelve years it has increased rapidly , and is now . composed of 350 , 000 . individuals . This society is governed by a Grand Master and Board of Directors ,
whose powers are delegated to tliem by a grand annual moveable committee ; and is , or ought to be , a purely Democratic institution . But of late years , by a system ! of manoeuvring . on the part of __ tJiose in power , it has become thoroughly aristocratic ; and a sp irit of petty despotism ; now obtains in the Executive . This system of governing the order was introduced seven years ago , at the Rochdale A . M . C , and has gradually gained ground . All the power for good or evil is now centred in the hands of about twenty interested men , seven of whom have within the last seven years received npivards of - £ 36 , 000 for what they call . " . _svrrLtiSG the order with goods , " which goods consist principally of regalia and mountebank dresses for the officers of lodges . The prime niover in
these disgraceful events is the chief secretary , William Ratcliffe , " Esq . " . !!!—a man as notorious for his doings among the race-runners as race-running is notorious , to the world . This individual has contrived to arrogate unto himself a power over the destinies of Odd Fellowship unprecedented in any other society professing to be founded upon Democratic principles . ' and , although it is a fact not to be cohtroyertedj that he attends nearly all the races occurring in diflercnt parts of the country ( in which excursions he is frequently accompanied by—Dickinson , the '' grand master , " . andbookbinder to the order ) , yet , so great is the influence , he possesses , that thousands of hard-working men in mills and mines , out of their , hard earnings , have to pay lum a princely
salary . of £ 300 per year !! 7 "' . ' .. " .. As Ratcliffe lias always thought it polite to keep the" TRADESMEN" of tho order in office , because with thein he knew well it was a "bvead-and-chcese question , ' - * ho has , by their slavish aid , launched a scheme of future payments , drawn up , as he says , on the principles , of Governmental- Statistical - Whig-Political ; Tables , _TNew-Poor-Law-Calculations , & c The object is covertly *¦ _« destroy , the _independence of lodges by obttiko _. coxtroul over " tiieik money . To this end these parties hare completely altered the fundamental principles of . Oddfellowship ' ; ' . have centralised tho system of representation ; have created _a-hostof rotten _borougnB , in the shape of little districts ; and have even descended to worse
practices to influence the election of deputies in some of the large districts , as was the case in the Manchester district last March . They have likewise suspended lodge 9 , and districts , and individuals , without either trial or law ; and to crown the _injustice , some of them have even detained the banking books of districts and lodges , against the protests of overwhelming majorities , to tho detriment of the sick , the unfortunate , and distressed . The order of Odd Fcllcws is founded on pure benevolence . Shall it longer be governed by a gang of fellows , the ready tools of a man , who , is continually riding about the country to races , in a carriage that he purchased out ofhis " LOSINGS" on the turf ? Shall these things lon _er continue ? Colliers of Newcastle-unon-Tvne !
_wilF you pay your hard-earned money to support them 1 Agricultural labourers of England ! will you be taxed to keep this system up ? Cotton Spinners and weavers ! will you sweat in mills to give your money for these things * Workers in iron * will you pay the piper for playing to such a tune ? Answer "NO ! " The holiest indignation of labour imposed upon , calls' for a universal response— "NO ! " Up , then / and be doing ! Manchester has nobly struck the blow for our regeneration . Salford , Huddersfield , Stockport , Rochdale , Ac , & c ., are determined to destroy the incubus now fastened upon the benevolent and charitable spirit of our Institution , " Go , then , and do ye likewise ! " Attend in your lodges , and make inquiry . Be not cajoled and deceived .
Odd Fellows . read the Manclicsier address , a copy of which has been sent to every lodge in the unity . Do hot let that document be burked by your enemies . Read a small pamphlet , published by Robert Wood of Manchester , entitled "Remarks on thePresent Condition of Oddfellowship . " Keep alive to your own interests . Bo no longer deceived ; and Oddfellowship shall yet free itself from the thraldom of designing men . Keep your funds in safe custody . Secure your banking books ; and elect men' of principle for your trustees . Do these things promptly . No delay ! Strike the iron while it is hot ; and you will preserve that which is your own .
