' - , ! Open the Eyes of the Deluded World , I ask will any Medical Gentleman , from any quarter , contrast the honesty and success of his Practice , as Surgeon , Physician , and Acconoheor , with that of mine , during the last Twenty-eight Yearsl Surely this ia the right way to test merit , medicine , and men . Thank Providence that all honest Lawyers and Doctors , and Clergy , are no longer my Persecutors , and the . r own enemiep , bat , like other honest men , as their grateful letters to me , to publish their Cures , amply testify—are acknowledging the necessity of Universal Suffrage in Medicine , as in Politics , ia order to establish the Health of Mankind . IIHST LETTER . To Dr . Greer , of Glasgow . Dear Sib , —It is with peculiar pleasure that I add my testimony to that of many others in favour of j your truly valuable medicines . 1 have used them myself , givau' them to my family , and , of late , administered them to my patients ; and , ia every case * the result has been so very good , that , approving , as I now do , of the Hygeian principles of Medicine , and Medical Practice , 1 have oome to the resolution of using no other Medicines in my Practice than your ' e—being convinced that they will be always i attended by the happiest results . I am , Sir , Your obedient Servant , . Jakes Thompson , Surgeon , Busby . The next letter . will be from an honest writer . Caution , —Since I conscientiously resigned , seven i years ago , my lucrative situation , as Proftssor to the i British College ot Health , London —( see Moriseniana , 183 i)—jrhen I , by the approbation of the late Jamea Momon , Esq ., Hygeist , and upwards of ' 10 , 000 converts to Hygeianism , ( who had read my review of the Pharmacopiffi , ) improved the Universal Medicine , and reduced its price—I have bo connection with the conflicting parties , who sell what each call Morisou's Pills—nor with any , but my ' own Medicines , which , after seven yean' trial in every disease , of young , and old , on sea and land , of - a publio or . a private nature , stand unequalled for Safety and Successful Cures ; and which require only one trial * to be appreciated . Dr . Grjskb ' s Pills will be Prepared in London , and 74 , ( 102 ) South Portland-street , and 62 , Nelsonstreefc , Glasgow , by himself and six eons . They aro Sold in Boxes at Is . 3 d ., 2 e . 9 d ., 43 . 6 d . lla ., and > Packets for Exportation , and Sea Captains . All stamped by Government . General Agents and Shippers receive large pec centage . It being quite impossible I can faithfully reply to all correspondents , without a clerk , therefore , it is expected that all Strangers will send Enclosures who wish the best Medioine and Advice > from me , who has given up all out-door practice , for this purpose . James Greek , Professor of Hygeianism . No . 1 , has White , and No . 2 , Green-Labels on the Box Lids . ' N . B . —The Essence of my No . 1 , Pills circulates Seven Hundred Times oftener through the Blood than that of No . 2 , and is perhaps the most Exhilarating Tonic ever discovered ; aud the Essence of my No . 2 Pjlis does not , like that of other strong Purgatives , carry the food out of the Bowels , before the lacteals take up its nourishment into the Blood ; but it affords , ( and allays the most acute inflammatory pain also ) full time for the Patient to be nourished by his food—so that eating well aud digesting , and sleeping better , is the result of uaing my Pills .

rEEDS UNEMPLOYED OPERATIVE ENTJ
DERATION COMMITTEE . Oar anxiety to promote any undertaking thai bis & tendency to ameliorate the sufferings of the destitute , prompt us to comply with the request of % depnta&m from the above Cosuaiftee , that we 1 ronld give a statement of its objects , in order that its claims to support may be more widely ejjeolxted-A glance over one of the enumeration books , and a statement of the order of procedure , made by the deputation , enable os to say that the node which ibe Committee has adopted is admirably calculated to attain the end in Tiew .
The Committee is composed of Delegates representing the workmen employed at rarioaa factories ind workshops in the borough , who contribute one penny each , weekly , to ft Committee Fund , the necessity of which will be apparent from the following statement : — Twenty of the most intelligent operatives are , at present , engaged in the several wards taking the enumeration , who receive two shillings each , or upwards , per d * y . Two competent persons , otherwise unemployed , are engaged making an analysis of all the enumeration books which increases the daily expenditure , which , when added to the expenses previously incurred , by printing circulars , enumeration books , &e ., will show that the pennies of the weekly contributes are being well applied .
We might here insert ft few cases of appalling destitution which & brief inspection of an enumeration book brought under our notice , were we not iware that we should thus be unnecessarily anticipating the committee ' s report ; we will oaly eay , that the enumerators , when they hare finished their several wards , will h » Te laid bare snch » mass of isdigenee and destitution , as bnt few indeed of the inhabitants of Leeds ever dreamed ot We perceive thai Shabkas Cjlawfobd and other members of Parliament , nave been put in possession of statistical details of the aTerage sums upon which
human beings , in ihe several towns which they represent , are obliged to subsist . We are not aware of the auspices under which these details hare been collected . It would be weD , howeTer , if the operatives of all places , where distress prevails , and where it does not prevail , would take this matter into their own hands ; it is their own cas * . The operatives of Leed 3 are acting spon thh principle ] * nd good will undoubtedly result from its adoption . We have lone and earnestly contended for this
mode of procedure , vit , the necessity of working men doing their own work . They cannot pond « r crer the misery which they have brought to light trithout perceiving the causes from which it emanates . Let this be done generally , and we doubt » ot the issue . The necessity of something being done is now becoming apparent , even to obtuse perceptions . CemmiBseration for the sufferings of the poor , and desire to alienate those sufferings , are amiable feelings .
The Enumeration Committee is acting upon a coble as well as a generous principle . The propriety f supporting this committee , we would respectfully enforce ttpoa every employed operative in Leeds ; and to other towns , we say Go ye and do likewise . "

THE BIRMINGHAM DEMONSTRATION . We kaow not how to begin to write on this invigorating subject ; and , with our present modicum of space before us , dare not do so . We shall , therefore , simply leave the following extract from the letter of an eye-witness , which our readers will see was written as & private note , to teD its own ftory : — BDUIIXGHAM FOB EVER , HTJRRA . H ! I !
* "Ittu not a Birmingham demonstration only , —it tu a Midland Counties demonstration It dftEet description , and baffles all calculation &s U Bgmy . TK . i shall give tome farts whereupon you may farm a sort oT estimate . The streets of Birmingham are both long and -wide ; Bronugrove-rtreet is particulariy long—I should say frem top to bottom nearly a half mile , and when I arrived at tbe bottom , that portion of the procession which preceded the caz filled the street as full as sn egg . It wa » not aprocesaionj it was a town full of people ! While I wai at the bottom of Bromsgrove-atreet , I could not »» e nearly to the
end of the procession , which was behind the car . — Every " « " who has witnessed tie processions for the but twenty years , with the exception of Mr . Slax-J » d , allows that it was far away the largest ever seen . Even If fori ?™** , it -would be impolitic in me to exaggerate , as hundred * of thousands saw th » reality , and will judge for themselves . Mr . Btsxland , one of tee old Council , and an excellent man , told me that be thought the procession to meet Attwood os nil return from Lord Grey , was larjer , if any thing , bet that Monday's fa * out-numbered any other be bad seen . The Executive was
there , and Leach , who saw half a million on Eeral Moot , eayi that he thinks Keisal Moor was a large ; meeting . I was at Birmingham at the grand Attwood convention demonstration in J S 3 8 , when the press gave us 200 , 000 . Wind , 200 , 000 , and I assure yon , on my word of honour , you could have stolen the procession of 1838 out of ours of Monday . It bore no comparison . Well , M'BouaH saw the procession to meet the delegates in 1 S 39 , and he said that it would be an insult to compare them . The Town Hall of RiTmi Tigfrvn is estimated to bold ISjOOO persons ; and I assure you , that the numbers congregated in Biimmgnam on this ever-memorable 20 th of September , ISil . woBld have taken more than two hours to wali
in and out of the said Town HalL Now for the joke-Our great-grandmother cf this morning , the Morning Eeraid , gave us , I presume , upon the same authority that it gave a list of the Administration that was not tele , S 00—mind , S 00 ; mea of Birimisghani ; mind , 800 little boys and women . The dolt ! the fool ! the ass : the floating old woman ! Can anything go farther than inch folly , to increase the people ' s confidence in themselves , and to destroy all confidence in all other classes ? li there cow , oi is there not , a necessity for a daily DTfan of our own , to fight the old -woman with ? Ths dame is beginning already to *» lfc of prosecutions also ? ~ Serer was there raeb a demonstration , and never was there s bigger fool and ass than the combination of both iiat -wrote to our great-grandmother . " Yours , &x .,
"P . S . Hind , this was the only demonstration ever got up in Birmingham by the working classes . "

TO MR . HENRY HETHERINGTON . Sir , —After having challenged me to a discussion relative to the principles of Chartism , as advocated by Messrs . Lorett and Collins , and the principles of Chartism advocated by the National Charter Association , you have , I find , declined the acceptance of my proposal to meet yon , although I have much inconvenienced myself b y offering to extend the time to any day up to Friday inclusive . You say ( I understand ) that you would not be prepared before the middle of October , as you require to look over back numbers of the Northern Star . You forget that all the preparation necessary on meeting Mr . Watkins would be available in
your discussion with me ; but you conld not have forgotten that , from the middle of October , for some months , I have an engagement for every day . Ia this state of ice affair , I must beg to band you over to the Executive , who will be in London on Monday , the 11 th , when , I am instructed to say , they will take the part which 1 had assigned to myself . I must say , that yonr conduct has been most unfair and unjust ; but I have do reason to complain , if the publio will tolerate such a trifling with so serious a subject . I am , Sir , Your obedient Servant , Feargus O'Connor .

BBONTERBE O'BRIEN . Fellow Countrymen , —Had not our exultation been chastened and modified by the very judicious letter of our persecuted friend , Mr . O'Brien , we should have been led by our enthusiasm , at bis liberation , to make it a matter of public rejoicing and congratulation . Like purer spirits we can rejoice when even one is extricated from the jaws of our enemies ; but our julrocate and champion ia not one only , he is himself a phalanx . On the 24 th of this month , O'Brien will , if able , walk out of the dungeon in which be has beeu so long confined . It is not his intention to allow himself any long respite , bnt to proceed , as soon as convenient , to carry on his attack upon the combined forces of capitalist and landlord .
All will see the necessity and propriety of Mr . O'Brien being so circumstanced that be can be at full liberty to adopt such steps as will be best to promote our common causa In oider that such may be the case , it will be necessary to forward all monies at present in the hands of toe several Treasurers , to the General Treasurer appointed by the Central Committee ; and we entreat you , fellow countrymen , not to let this suffice ; recollect , lox a moment , that the man whom we are thus feebly assisting , is persecuted fot the transcendent ability , and the indomitable spirit , with which he has pleaded for the rights of man . Recollect . ' that he has sacrificed the honours of rank , and the comforts of competency , and submitted to the misery and hardship of want , that he might assert those principles -which are founded in truth and justice , and for which we hope that all are disposed to make some sacrifice .
Now that 3 Ir . O'Brien has outlived the torments of his imprisonment ; now that he is going to be restored to the bosom of bis family , and the society of his Triends , let us make one general effort , testifying eur gratitude to Sir . O'Brien , and our abhorrence of bin enemies . Let every association have Its voluntary collection on its next meeting night As much depends upon individual exertion , let every member go with a resolution to moot the subject if nose else does . With such a resolution little exertion would be necessary , and , if simultaneously acted upon , great and good must be the result Signed on behalf of the Committee , Johx Qgde-v , Secretary .

TO NEWS-AGENTS , CO-OPERATIVE STOREKEEPERS , AND ALL SUCH AS TAKE AN INTEREST IN THE CARRYING OUT OP THE AGITATION FOR THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER . Fellow Wokking Men , —Knowing , as I do , that political knowledge is the only tiling wanted among the people to arouse them to a sense of their degradation and slavery , I deem it a duty incumbent upon every lover of liberty to use every means in his power to regain for himself and bis fellow working men those
long withheld but just tights which we are now struggling for ; and if the people will carry ont the principles which I am about to xecommend , I believe it would be of incalculable benefit , in supporting the Chartist cause , and that without the sacrifice of one single penny to the public , as yen will perceive in reading this letter . , You are aware that we have an Executive Council , elected to direct' the national movement , but whose labours are , to a certain degree , crippled for want of better supplies , which may be considerably increased by carrying out the following plan , wliich I propose as follows : —
I will supply all such as may favour me with their orders with blacking of best quality , and at the lowest possible price ; aad whilst it if good and cheap to the consumer , it shall leave a , good remunerating profit to the agent . And I further propose to transmit to the Executive Gpuocil of the National Charter Association , to assist in carrying out the objects for which the Association was formed , one halfpenny out of every shilling wliich I receive . , The following regulations to be adhered to in the financial affairs 1— ,
Flat , That every order must be accompanied with the money ( or we can never conduct out business witb propriety before the public ) , and that the agent , when he sends me an order , must sent a copy of the order to the Executive Council , that they may know what i * due to them every week .
