Badicai . Association . —At a meeting at th » Xaboor a * d Health , Southgate , in this towir , on Saturday evening last , ii was unanimously agreed * pon to hold a public meeting on ~ &ew Year ' s-day next , to tais into consideration the reply of th " » £ rccursor Society ' s letter , of Ireland , ' se » t in answer to the Hadieal address from this country , joined l > y their Scotch -and "Welsh brethren , to their Irish brethren , in bonds in Ireland , and which replr is signed « n bthalf of the committee by Daaiel OXonnell , chairman « f tkat- committee . Mr .
"Wilkinson , ibe chairman of the association , adr dressed the audieEce in a very feeiing mainer , xecommeadir . s ; thtm to « ibservt : the strictest order » ni regularity in all their proceedings , and to leep in all things within the due fcounds " if law , go that their e » emies might not hate an opportunity of stealing an advantage on them from waul of due eanti » n " being observed in their different Tmierteking ? . The times badbeeom * ext-fredingly critical * nd their enemies were upon the look out , " seeking to dmde their rank ^; but ther « was no public character that he knew of who had acted with more
• antion and prudence , in Tery thing that he had taten in hand than ifr . O'Connor 5 and he well deserve ! the confidence « f the Bidieals of England ; for his part be should always giv « him his support , to long a ? he continued tb « advocate of the liberties fthepe » ple . "M r . Tttley advocated the proprittv of ha-nng a public meeting , to take into consideration the nature of the reply giren fay the big-begffar man , Daniel OXonnell , thai his ' rieBdj , jf h « had any , might haxe an opportunity of defending hiai
in tee De « t manner they know hour .

The recommendation in Daniel ' s address to " dismiss the ^ O'Connor , the Oastler , and the Stephens , and imitators from" your meetings and councils /* came ia for a share of his animadversion , a . nd he recommended the proprietT of haTJmj an address got up , expressive of confidence in the three gentlemen named , and the determination en the
j > art of the Hadieal * to give them every support c « ntkrent with the separate advocacy of the different ynblic questions tLeir minds are engaged upon . A censure of "ihe almighty Irishman , OConnell , will be the necessary consequence , and tLe proofs of his deliuqnency , in respect to / the different public questions he has taken upon himself to d * ft-nd , wiil be fully established , proTing at once that be is not a fit xaa » to be the leader of a people , who is rtailv desirous of being free .

withont ceremony , having no regard vrhateTer , or Ttsptjct to propnuy , demolishing all before him , as f * r as the sirenpth of tbe strap / would allow . One ef the hands foolishly attempted tt cut the strap whilit the machinery was in motion , and" had he succeeded , there can be little doubt but it would have been ih » lasfc strap that he would have ever attempted to cut . The damasre , it is said , will amount to abont £ 20 . On a Saturday previous , ose of the balance wheels fell , when the machinery was at full power , aad eueh was tbe force , that it went through ths fioor , and to a considerable iistanceinto the ground . A female who was / pa ? sinff at the time had a narrow escape , as the wheel toccbed some parix of her gar-¦ leDis in the fall . - The ladies enj ? 2 i : » d in the mill

The
address was hijh ' . v intprcsrinir tVirnntrl . niif «« . aduress was highly intertsiin ^ ' throughout , embracing a range of Listory , politics , and morals , which betrayed at once skill and research .

' suSbeation ; and while hundreds were struggling for- admission , the sound of breaking timber raised an alarm which caused a tremendous rush to the door . Though many were knock ed down and trampled upon , happily no Serious accident occurred . When the room was cleared , it was found that a beam of half a yard in depth , and ' mtie inches in thickness , supported by two pillars of brick-wo' -khad given way , and the
, floor , which is raised about a yard from the ground , had partially gunk . The meeting aftejwarils assembled in Union Square J and MVw Stephens preached frcm Mr . Fletcher ' s window . Thu assembled multitude soon swelled to upwards of ten thousanii ; and in the eTenin ^ there was an assemblage at least equal in number . Mr .

The leading puhjecu were the iniquity of the New Poor Law a ^ d the factory system j and a Scriptural defence of the ri ght to arms . The comtnitte * of the "Working .

TO THE MEN OP- . NORTHUMDEULAXD ANT ) DURHAM , IN JDEMONSTKATION ASSEMBLED . Fe ' liow-Coustirymes , —I must forego the p ' ea « ur « I had anticipated in being present at your Demonstration . It b due to you , who have honoured me ^ with the invitation , and to myself , who am obliged to decline it , to state , without reserve , the reasons which , after much deliberation , havs led me to ' adopt a resolution , very much at Tariance with my wishes as regards : the people of Northumberland and ; Durham , and with my hopes as regards the immediate prospectsof tha . people at large . cannot
Y » u but be fully aware of the singular position I have been recently placed in—not by the factions , AYhig . or Tory , who hare been supposed to be th » only political parties hostile to the peoplebut by a large portion of the Radical * themselves , or thttir representatives , who have alvrays claimed to be considered , emphatically , as the people—the source of all legitimate authority and power . These representatives of the people in London , Edinburgh , aad Birmingham , and elsewhere , have singled me out as the objeVt of their marked and most bitter attack . Wiihoat ' entering into any correspondence with hie on the subject—without making any inquiry of me as to what opinions I held on any given question , and in what manner , and for what purpose I hud given
expression to those opinions—iu my absence , unheard , and without any opportunity afforded for explanation or defence , I . have been arraigned , condemtied , and denounced as a man utterly unworthy ¦ the oouh ' Qdnce of the people—nay , as a traitor to the cause I professed to advocate . With these persons I have no acquaintance . In such a controversy I have 110 desire to engage , nor will I allow myself to be jvrovoked into a quarrt .-l with any . All . the time , all the strength , and what little skill I possess , : shall be reserfed for the known enemies of the-people- — the parties whose principles and whose practice have wrought su . fh doadly evi . ls in the land . With the people , or with the acknowledged leaders and . friend * of the people , I will not % ht .
But lor wfcat do they reproach— for what do they repudiate tnn- ? ¦ 'What " is the fjutsrion , as ' far as i am concerned with it ? It is briofiy this . Pardon me if I s . ate it to you ; for I wish to be distinctly uridemoid , in order that no one may have a -pretext for hereafter misrepresenting my seti . timunt . s-or lny motireSj as too many kave previously appeared to thiiik thetn-elves authorised to do on almost every subject ' . wrch .. which I have been in anywise connected . It ix true that I am but a young man , and , as one of my judges observed , had no political existence , when he was already a prominent personage on the political stage . But , though young , I hare done my -best to understand the real conditiuti of the people , my brethren and frlldw-ouatryiiu-n . I have- < 'iT « n mv whole mind and soul—now for some
years—to Me . practical study of the wrongs , the wants , aud the rights of Englishmen . A previous resident in the agricultural di ^ tnets , where 1 had niinle myself master of the old ways , ¦ ha bits , and customs * f the peasantry , I . ' came noine years ago into the very centre of the manufacturinixpopulation , and there , t » o , I made it my business to be amongst them—to be , as far as acquaintance and sjmpathv could nuke me so , ono of thu people . Th . i . < knovrlwlge of the actual condition '" of the p ' eopltt , f-oinpureti with thtir acknowWdgetl rights and pri » ilet » es us asserted by the hiRliMt au ' ttrariiic ! 1 , and uiiiiiiEaiiiwd h y the ablest and wisest wrievrs on eonst'itu ' titnal law , brought uie to the conclusion , that rhp ' re was sonit-thing so mdicnllv unsound 111 the
existing . « t : ite of thiiig »« , that no " abitract tht : nrT , no mere change in the franitwork of our outward " institutions , could ruiiclr , much less remedy or remove it . Convinced of this , I came forward , at the . cull of the peoj . Ie-of iiiv own district , to fiiidicatf the . national : ind (• ptiimon law rights of the poor—of the children , especially , of the poor—doomed- by this ! state of thing * to the horrors of factory slavery . Thechiiiiu of tlit . > se children upon the justico , humanity , a :: d religion of the country I huit before the public , unc » nnccted as I am \ vith any political p ; irtr , and iud .-iHHide . nt « f very faction—resting those " claims upon the iiiinniUbU- foundations , of- hem vok < nc » and C'briytiiioi'y , the only unerring rule of right ? -. the only spriujr" of pure morality—the only safeguard against nati ' oiial ns well as individual wro " : ! .
• In the sanu- sj ( irit , and with the same view , I »« ub suquehtly e ' ii-: « red upon the more extended Held ol moral warfare , in the fearful struggle which ail are uo » v hr-ire or-lifss di-ej-l \ tnu ; i ; : i ? d in—occanioned by the pa-jsii . ^ of die L ' our Law ¦ Anituidinpiit Act . My conduct 011 bot ' i the . sv questions i-i before the coun " - try . My prscertitiiig . s-havc ' -not bec ' u - wjnVTocal , I have always iii ^ isted upon the right of the poorest ami tht . lowest—to be first fed , elothvc-1 , sheltered , and j . ro ' . Hc-tel in their own heme , at their own -fireside —• together—in- peace , and fiaiiving pjtntv , in iho

I r . over said ,, neither did 1 ever think , t ! i ; it the ~ iriUijig iilli-rs bad iiTiy right to subsist oil the iiibour ' of the industrious ; no—the old law of the laiul , with which I wver qnarrcllud , had alread y proptrly » eutenet , d thtm { the iciliing idlers ) to iirisori .
rh-. isrij .- ht for industrious iripn to h . ive a free and a happy homo I hold to he the cradle of all other rights . Nn ' turB , i . n * tinct , reason , common sens . ' , and comtnon law , the consiitutioa and the reli « ien of the country—all consjiire to teach and to secure it . 1 have ; therefore , emhracid every opportunirr ef pressing it upon the . attention of my fclliity-couiitrv * - niea—of the rich , to . conyiiice them of th' . 'ir iiiimrdiain duty—of the poor , to show them their prcsont . privileges ; to awaken the former to a discharge ot their lohy-forgotteu obligations , and v \ aTcvise tbe latu-r to an asoertion of their k-nu-forgotten .,- and abiuidpned birthright ;— with what success let mv enemies bear witness . "
From the beginning of this career « f mor . il agitation to the , presunt hour , I have done my utmost to inspire all with a hol y reverence for law and for relition—the laiid . marks ' set up in the olden timvbr the pood , the wisp , and the . groat amongst our forefathers , by whom thu tear of Ood was held to be the beginning of wi-dom , the-groundwork-of all sound law , aud the safost guarantee for general liberty . _ Venerating , as I have , ' always done , the ancient institutions of my country , I " have taught others to-venvrate them also . Step ly step I have trodden in the-footmarks chalked but " by . the oldest authnr . ties in constitutional law ; and those who have walked with me , or who have followed me , know well the ground they stand upon . They know themselves to be right , and therefore they " do not tear .
With the people , in their re ^ poctive hamlets township-, borough towns , anil counties " , ' I have stood in lawful meeting—the fulJTinote of our forefathers . There we have talked these things over a thousand times , and a thousand thins again . Resolutions have btea passtd ; petitiojn Imye bt-en adopted , the pray its of . a l » yul people have been constitutionall y laid before both Houses of Parliament , setting forth their grievances , and earnestly suing for the redress of those grievances . These pBtiriona , again and atrnin presented , have been again and again rejected , I am sorry to say , with scorn aiid contempt . Insult has been added t <> Oppression ; mockery has been heaped upon , their misery .
Still following the ¦ course . prescribed by the Constit ' ntion , I rocommendt-d tho peo ^ ie to meet apain . and to remonstrate . They have done so ; and have been told by a Minister of the Crown , that their petnions were powerless , because not written in letters of fire—their remonstrances ' . without weight , because not traced in blood . Thus spurned and defied by those , wlio are called the representatives of the people , 1 then atlvi . « ed the penp 0 to make » final application to Parliament— -prayiig to appear
nt the bar <> f both Hous&s—in the person of such men as . they should appoint and'delegate for that purpose— ¦ -there to be heard in solernn appeal against the wrongs to which they were subjected in authoritative vindication of ' the rights which ' the Constitution and the God of Nature , had conferret ' upon them . No member of tb . e . Common . * ' House ot Parliament could be found to present thi * i # "f Constitutional application of the people of England to their sworn representatives " .
What now . remained for me to advise—for the people to pursue ? I read in the books of « ur law , and in the Word of God , that it was the duty of , Wffery mm to beiupori his own guard , and to tak «! i ^» dalre ? dj » ihi 8 : ^ wn ho uaeboldi ; I fodnd thAt the ! bi ^; e of a bopdsinan was the print of th « Iftajjopon - his ntk ^ d back- ^ the mark of a freeman the febatV ' i * w * af 4 iBg 6 Ter the ' dbor-post ;< ir ' WS ^ isHeicfiaiig'i . $ f )^ £ l ^* tfj&n in % > he ^ ^ d-ih «« trt ||? li ! l !

' Against ft is C ;' snsrittit . ion-a . l :. and Christian counsel a gre . ; t outcry has bi-en raised . I havu been denounced a < a madman—a firebrand—and a devil . I have been wilfully niisrepresented , and have been moKt wickedly made to appear ' as a promoter of etrite— an instigator of iriceiid arism and assassination ; : although it . is notorious aud undeuiable that from first to last
there has . never been a single breach of the peace committed or contemplated by any individual , at any one of the thousand mi « tins . ' sl have attended ; hrany of thtge meetings held at nightj most of them attended by thowsands and tens of thousands of persons . The-district in which I live—the heart of the manufacturing population—the scene of all my " violent" and "inflammatory" proceedings-, waii never known in so peaceable a state as durmg th « six or * eyen years ef my residence in it . For persoa and property there is all the respect shewn , that law or reason could require ; much more than either law or reason could expect .
I kuow full well that this great Constitutional question must be taken up—must be fairly and lully discussed . -I was one of the first to open it , nor ka . re I ever shrunk from the avowal of it . 1 have been ften asiailed , but never answered . la the mtanvThile , I await the decision of Ae people upo « . it .

It is char that there are traitors in the camp . I have been branded as the arch traitor ; I leave it to the people to confirm « r to reverse the sentence pas ' wd . upon me by radieal-liberty-men in my abstnee , and without any opportunity of defence .

wisest and the best . It would be folly in me for the prt'sent to' appear at any more public mee'tin ^ s . To be denounced b y Daniel O'Conneli—by counciimea at Birmingham—delegates at Edinburgh , or associationisu in London , is a matter of perfett indifference to me personally . No party can claim me—¦ o party can injure me . My opinions are before the people , and to the people I . appeal . Time will gire to those opinions the power their inherent truth ha * never yet failed to create . Till then I bid you all farewell-spraying .

On "Wednesday evening , the 12 'h instant , a numerous meeting -was hi-M at the .

They
had beeu -accused of being revolutionists , nnd he meant to say there did wwit a revolution , and he hoped tVy would ' have it ; a revolution hi the corni ]) t lasvs , ami which would « ive the peoplu a . voire iu . making tlii * liiws by ¦ -which tht'y are governed , and in making Inws that would prmiuee a . st >» U 6 f things which would give employment to all , and a fair remuneration for labour . It was gsvid thov advocated physical force ; tjiat tvai not true—they advocated moral force . Until lately , the people hud not been tola thut it was e . ncoivititutioms . 1 to meet ; but now it w : rs said thut it w ; Vs illegul to meet by torch-liiiht . Tbry ' wxtj cantioned to mind what
they said , and . he hoped they would do what whd right and just ; but tln-y wo uld never coase their eneeavours till they ha . l obtained their rights . It was st-en that the people met by invllion . « , and it was feared that s-ooii it would be by trillions , and si ) it w .-is deelared illegal to meet at all . Then if this be the c ; 'sc , they must put fear aside , and show them that dimy will dr ^ tr-oy the uiij ' ust power which had so long insulted them . Let tlu-in be prepared with hp .-nJs n-tid ' toiigiies ti ) weot them morally and manfully . ( Cheev .-. ) If they should iii-siilt them with th-jr physical fprco , they would be justified in retaliation ; and it would be every man for his home and his country . ( Cheer-. )
Mr . P . Chappem . said , that they were to have mot in the Court Room thai day-week ; " but live authoritii's had declared themeecing to be illegal . Whether it were so or not , the coiriniittee had cqine to tho ' rysolulion to bold a meetiiig , and they had don .- ; so . It remains for die spo ^ kurs to koe » witb | n the law .

As it was cousideruJ proper that there should be a dele | iife to represent every 25 , 000 people in the Convention , they intruded to choose two ' -for this town , wJr . Chijppell then read the resolution , to the etkct
-that Mr . ¦ llciiry Uethoringtou and Mr . Joseph Rayner Stephens be appointed dele-# : ttes for Stockport . Mr . IJethenngton was an h . inest aud an upright , judicious nrati ; viiid as e . nnor of the London Mspci ^ uy-Hcli lie pepjiisteJ in sLMing unstamped—he had helped to pull down the newspaper stamp tax . The manly , determine 1 , and upright exertions of Mr . Stephen ' s , for tho welfare of the litimaii species , by which he had . sacriticed the . de . uest friendships , in opposition to tiio drabolical N ' ew Poor 'Law , and iu advocating the 1 en Hours' Bill ; they well knew those exerti .-n . s had proved him a friend to the working classes , nnd well qualified to represent them . 'hi the ^ National Couveu ' tion . .
Mr . It . Piluxg seconded therosolution . The landed aristocracy dreaded the inteHifrence of the working classes , who , not . content with tho Kelorrn Bill , had come to a dutfritiiiiation to pray no longer , but to demmid their rights by sending men who could best advocate their rights " the people of bngland ,. Scotland , and Irelaml , siioned they possessed iritell'igeucu . Should the ( J ( ivernment lay hands-on . the . two whom they choose , they would not shrink , but would make such use of their puns , "that tney would set the country in a blnsso . He vku * r « njident thai if the wovkiug classes would » nue , that before seven years they would have the five great principles of RaJicali . « m . If they got those , the Lorn Laws , or any other grievance would be repealed m a year .
Mr , M . Nouth did not object to sending delegates to the ^ atunuil . ConveHtioii , but he rpgri'tted that their cuoice had fallen upon Mr ; Stephens , a prorv V f- > aild a Professed minister of . th * Gospel ot 'i .-eace ; hut a more violent and daugerous ptrrsoii could not be found . Mr . North then rnOved a resolution to the effect , that Joseph RayNer Stephens 7 Tvi a m ost V 1 , oleilt . nnd dangerous person , ami totall y unfit to be trusted by the people . Mr . North was several times interrupted ; 'b y the meeting , and no seconder appearing for the amendment , it fell tu me ground ; nnd the brighial motion was put aud carried unanimously . '
Mr . J . Mitchell moved the next resolution . It had been stated that Radical meetingsare illegal , i > y those who wished to keep the people from meeting ; but the working classes were determined to meet . 1 hey did not approve of Lord John-Russeir ' s declaration , against tiie further projrrt'w of Ri-form lhey produced the bread which others ate ,, and were sacrificed to those who made gold their "od—a basiile their temple . They were said hot to pos « e ^ liatel . igence to exercise the suffrage ; but it was always found © u the day of nomination , that the people possessed the iutelligence to choose the best tnau ; it was not a more difficult thing to put a ticket in a box . Mr . Mitchell thru read- ' the resolution to the effect , that Stockport should bear its share of the National Rtnt , in support of the Convention .
