3 , 395 CHABTISTS enrolled in one fortnight , by one man , in fire distr icts of tie eounfty I YenZj Chabtek is dead ! J In addition to these proofs of iefunctness , let as also state that the Chartists of Leeds have just Becored possession of tie largest meeting room in She town ; situate in the front street j and running ihe entire length of the Leeds Shambles ! They fcave now a meeting room two hundred feet long , Which will shortly be put into active requisition as & Chartist lecture room . " There is another proof of dead Chartism . Let Mother Goose go look at it ; Rndiien look at the Black Boy little parlour !
Hat ¦ while Mother Goose , proclaims Chartjsm dead , donergosRngs think it dafimct ! Ho : tiaej Lave loniid it to be all-potent , invulnerable , and immor-UL Theydafly see and feel its talismanie effects . Henos , in Goose ' s own borongh "we find that every gos" Rng who aspires to a seat in the Municipal Council tas to come forth clad cap-a-pie in the impenetraable armonr of Chartism I And eTen some are become so zealous , — ( for the time being ! J—that they affirm their determination to go farther than the Charter . " Aye ; they are all at once become downlight thoroagh-going Republicans . What a mighty and a sudden change 1 Surely they will not return
to Mother ' s school again ! Since they hare adorned our walls with" green" surely ibey will not again bedaub them with " Toiiow . " We shall see . It is to be feared that the aspirants after Municipal honours are somewhat like the "Noodles " about whici { Mother Goose makes bo much ado . The One is in arms to-day and at the back of the counter to-morrow ? the other regiment—Goosey ' s own "Doodles , " though clad in the Chartist coat of mail till Wednesday next , on Thursday ( when the polling 13 at an end ) may be seen as * YoLl / m" as ever ; and as ready to waddle at the heels of Mother Goose !
The Leeds Aw «* fl C&nvas 3 Market has been well supplied with , fustian and hypocrisy during the passed week f bnt few purchasers are found , The Burgresses have been so repeatedly taken in , as to make them more cautions . And they will , no doubt , keep as eye on the new conTerts to Chartism .

THE * LIBERATOR" AGAIN . THE POLITICAL « JIM CROW . " Wb gave in our last full particulars of the u BASE COMPROMISE" proffered by tfCosxELL , in his offer to barter TJscosdiiiohai . ~ BsrsxL for FEDERALISM . " We commented in severe , tut justly merited , terms , upon this shameless abandonment of principle , on the part of the Irish u Mosss" j and from all parts , —( Ireland as well as England)—we hare this week received publio sad private letters , warmly -approving of the independent Bourse pursued by ns .
Well , the " compromise" iooTe . With one solitary exception , that of the World , all the Irish Repeal papers gave their acquiescence , silent or expressed , to the New Move . " ^ Phe Freeman ' s Journal , the Pilot , ihe Drogheda Argus , the Belfast Vindicator , & . c , Jtc ; all . fiaming , " uncompromising ' Repeal papers —all gave their silent assent . The Nation alone , of all the subsidized organs of ihe " Royal , Loyal Asso ciation , " said anythingj and what it said was expressed in subdued tones of compliance with the likase of the ( Dictator . All its llg teords and blustering threats were flang to the wild winds of
heaven "; and Toang Ireland at once sacrificed its B high and hsngbty" resolves for Fatherland , at the shrine of self-interestI as , when it -burked the noble address of the Sheffield-Chartists , it smothered its own sentiments , rather than risk the loss of its share © f the " rint" plunder . And while the conductors of the "free" Press thus licked the dust , they announced ihat the " great" Brnmmagem leader of the " half fioisn ix-mprehensible omnibuses-full ' 7 of ** Complete " Suffragists , had visited the great Daniel , and
arranged with him the abandonment" of " Unconditional Repeal / ' thai the said Joseph hadproeeeded to Cravfordsburn , io arrange with Mr . Shabatxs Gra"wpobd , to take his part in the new piece . The Monitor , a Federalist , was in ecstaeies with the ** newmoTa . " In short , " all went merry-as a marriage belP ; when , lo and behold 1 the ^ LiBEBATOB " gave another twist ! Bads asqtftktj tubs I ! and again showed Ms dexterity in shifting the pea at the very moment that expectant Whiggery was prepared to lift the thimble !
Whether , notwithstanding the silence of his bribed Vress , he had heard the rumbling of the thunder of popular discontent in the distance ; or whether he was galled by the taunts of the Tory press , to say nothing of the stinging sarcasms of our independent contemporary , the World , and wir own exposure of his perfidy and treachery ; and feared that these would teU upon the popular mind to the great detriment of his popularity , we cannot tell int be that as it may , the turn about was taken j and only five day 3 from the announcement of his u BASE COMPROMISE , " rre find him again an
* UNCONDITIONAL REPEALER * !! ' On Saturday he issued an address to the Irish people , which will be found in another column ; in -which , after inssfing that " in all and -every event , peace , order , and absence of violence" should be persevered in by fee people , ha sets on to say , ** That Repeal must not be abandoned" u Perse-Tere , " says he , * ' firmly and peaceably j and - the Repeal is certain . "
If the Repeal " must not be abandoned , " why did he offer to abandon it only on the previous Monday 1 If * the Repeal 13 certain , " why did he offer to " compromise" only five days before 1 J Tis all very xr&n far Mr . O'Coxsell to tell the people to " keep quiet ;" to pay their" proclamation " shillings ; and to" persevere f but persevere in what ? They hatjj doss ^ tt . he aEQcrsED x > 7 TTT-nr z it is for him now to produce his H measures , " and give the people someihing to persevere with .
WHERE IS THE COUNCIL OF THREE HUNDRED ! Where is" the machinery to be worked to earn / Repeal" ? Forcible means he repudiates . The craven tone of the Nation , lisping " with bated breath and in a bondsman ' s key , " shews that the ralorousthreats of Young Ireland are all fudge mere " win-penny" clap-traps ! ! We now tell CCokkell that his talk about " the Repeal being certain / ' and his appeals to ihe people to ** perse-Tere /* are rank humbug 1
On Sunday , Mr . O'Coioreix addressed two Ward xaeeSngs . At the Post Office Ward be appeared again rather in the character of a FEDERALIST .

By independent , he did not mean a Parliament independent of the Crown , bst of file other Parliament ^ - Can any one make « ommoa sense of this , or regard it as common honesty . But no doubt he spoke to suit his audience , composed , most likely , in a great measure , of " respectables . ' In Ihe St .

We pass by his wretched display at the Conciliation Hall on Monday , other than remarking that he appears not to have been listened to so patiently as heretofore ; for he querulously complained of interroption and disturbance .

TO THE WORKING PEOPLE .
Mr dbab Fbiehds , —If this letter is very short , you must excuse me . It is bnt six o'clock , or little after , and I was not in bed till one . But I will go at the work at once , from where I left off . On Tuesday last , I went to South Shields at night , with Beeslty , and had a chapel , the largest place we conld procure , crammed full . I spoke at considerable length ; found that Williams , of Snnderland , and seme others had done us much injury in that locality ; but I think I revived their drooping spirits . I enrolled eighty-one ; and left at half-past ten in an open gig , on a most dreadful night to go to Newscastle , along the coast . I was
a most nideous ngnre . I had a large kind of linen hood of Mr . Roberta ' s over my hat ; and the people took me for * Bscca . " We got wet and cold before we reached Newcastle . On Wednesday , we were to have our grand meeting in the large lecture room , on the Repeal of the Union f uestion ; and a grand * one it was ; the largest m-door meeting that they have seen for many a day . Irish , Scotch , and English Union Repealers , and Corn Law -Repealers ; Complete Suffragists , and Chartists , were mingled in one common mass . I spoke for more than two hours upon the Irish question ; and then submitted a resolution , which was carried amid the most enthusiastic applause .
Every corner of the building was full . Thousands were obliged to go away . Every wiadow sill was occupied ; and I was frequently obliged to stop to allow fainting men and women to be carried out . I never , even in . 183 i , saw so good a spirit manifested . I did not forget my after duty ; for 1 remained to enroll , and enrolled seventy-six more Chartists ; many of them Irish Bepealers . I had to strip , it was so oppressively hot : and , though without my © oat for nearly two hours , I did not take cold . At the close of my day's labour , I thought I had done my country some service . Jndge , O jndge ! of my feelings ; my horror , disgust , and shame , when Thursday's post brought me the news , that Repeal Had bsek aSakdorkd 1
Aye , abandoned I given up . ' SOLD , as I shall fully prove in a series of letters which I purpose to address to Mr . O'Connell , upon my return to England . I undertake to prove that FEDERALISM , instead t > f bitoi " Ibblakd to thk Ihish ^ would give the English oligarchy greater power than they now possess . He is now to be prosecuted ; and I shall stay my pen . I shall not venture upon a single remark ; but , as va Irishman , I feel deeply fee heavy blow that has been struck at my country ' s liberty : and I rely upon the IriBh Pastors and their flocks for counteraction . I cannot trust myself upon the subject now . I win write about it when I return . I sh * ll then find time ; and then the Irish people shall Bee their real position .
I go on with my narrative . On Thursday , I received the congratulation of all parties ; but many px > or Irishmen came to me with tears in their eyes , and asked me : u Wisha , your honour ; is it true thai we ' re sold , and that Repeal is given up for Sharman Crawford ' s Union !" Oa Thursday night , I went in company with our excellent friend , Mr . Roberts , to Sunderland ; eleven miles . We went in a gig . The lamps went out . It was shockingly dark , and w » lost onr way ; but arrived some ten minutes after eight . There is a
very large Hall ; and the people tell me feat they could have filled four such . It was too full . A good working man was in the chair . I Bpoke at great length ; and Mr . Roberts followed mo , with a tremendous blow at Master Williams and the Sturge Conference . His speech waB most rapturously applauded ; and although Williams was on the platform , he never attempted to defend himself . He had most industrioualy circulated a report that I dared not go to Sunderland . However , I did go ; and enrolled 200 members .
On Friday , I started with the indefatigable Bsesley , for Seghili , a mining district ^ to attend a Chartist meeting , out of doors ; and , to my taste , it was a most triumphant one ; all Colliers , and all Chartists . I spoke from a niche in one of the gate piers of Lord Hasting ' s avenue , and had many of the middle-classes and one overseer on horseback amoEg my andienee . A fine young Collier , Turnbull , wad in the chair ; and Christopher Has well , the honest delegate for the district , was in front of me . I expounded the " whole hog" thing . Beesley said I spoke too long ; but I enrolled ninety members in the open air . The landlord of the note ] where I put up . took his card also .
We then left for Sonth Shields again ; and on Friday night , I gave them another speech there , and enrolled seventy-five more ; making one hundred and fifty-six altogether in South Shield ? . On my return , I had the pleasure of meeting Mr . Duncombe , who 1 was sorry to find labouring under a very severe cold , caught at Manchester , whae he would speak in the open air . Satcsdav . —This was the day of days . The morning was awfully wet ; and yet I thought the proeession of brave Collier * , with their banners and numeroBS band 3 , would never end . It cleared up about half-past eleven ; and Mr . Duncombe , Mr . Roberts , Mr . Beesley , and I started in a carriage and four for the place of meeting ,
five miles off . I was very fearful about a gathering ; bat when we got within sight of Sheddan Hill , now famous in story , it did make me Jump .: Bat you shall hear , Mr . Duncombe ' 3 own words : — Gdod graeioos , where did they all come from ! I never saw such a meeting in all my life ' " He was right . It would he impossible to go within 10 , 000 of their number . I estimated them at 60 , 000 ; others west higher ; but it was as still as if we had teen housed . Mr . Beesley made one of the best speeches I ever heard ; as did Mr . Roberts . Mr . Doncombe was received with roars of cheers and waving of hats ; and in an able exposition of his parliamentary conduct , he gave the following illustration of what he termed justice . Ho said : — " It is not justice to impose a fine of £ 5 upon a man
worth hundreds of thousands , and for a less crime to sentence a poor man to the treadmill . If we are to have equal justice , let the master who has violated the law work the tread-wheel with his man ; and then the latter will believe that he has been justly dealt with . I would send the masters who violate the law for six months to -hard labour oa the treadmill ; and then we should soon have no more ^ emplaints . " Now , that was jnst what the men waated ; and they expressed their approbation by cheezing and elapsing of hands . A very fine fellow , Simpeon , from Seghili , moved an amendment to one of three resolution ?; which , after a calm discussion , was lost , bnt few hands beisg held np tor it . 2 take it for granted that you will have a report of these meetings : for I merely sketch them for you to ehow
the feeling and our position . , * ,,.,- * .. On Saturday night we had a splendid Sotreew the Masic HalL Many of the " Complete" chaps and " free-traders" were there : in fact , they have openly joined . Mr . Roberts excited their anger most dreadfully by his speech : and , in Breaking of the Colliers' movement , he said : —** I wish my position to be understood by alL The Colliers do undestand it . In the organization of that body for thewages question , I recognize a strong auxiliary Chartist foree . These wrists—showing : them—have had the handcuffs upon them , five different times s for Chartism ; and my - poor Colliers oe not ibmk so . meanly of me as to « apposa that I am going even W give up ihe name wider uiJdeh ' Jsuffered f J—{ oh&ers , and "¦ K o / Vaej" •' we don's want you ") .

Mr . R ., "it is iny bpeatb ,-iay life , and my hope ; and with Gfod ' s blessing , I will serve nay clientB without disgracing myselfor dishonouringmj . party j Mr . Dancomba made a splendid Bieech ; and concluded it with a fall enunciation of the principles , and a declaration that he was : a Chartist , NAME AUD ALL , and would neftacr abandon it himself or advise the working men toabaadon it . It would be quite ont of my power to describe the scene that followed this plain announcement . The whole meeting rose , and cheered for several minutes . I spoke after j and poor Captain Weatherall , the Chairman of the League , was obliged to make his escape . He could not stand my defence of the course the Char--. _ ^^ _ . _ - __ ¦__ ¦ _ ' _
tista ha 4 pursued . The Manchester Packer also addressed the meeting "; and when the business Was over I enrolled seventy-eight n 6 w members . Mr . Duncombe ' 8 two speeches on Saturday have raised us a hundred per cent . The people love him ; he is so explicit , and divested of Parliamentary claptrap . He left ' for Edinburgh on Sunday ; but , as " there is no rest for the wicked , " I was compelled to Btop , and preach ; and to travel fee 120 miles to Edinburgh all in one day by coach . And I am glad I did . I learn feat the place I preached in will hold two thousand . I was afraid that I had tired them with ten days' incessant talking : however , at six o ' clock the room was crammed . I spoke at groat length , and enrolled eighty new members *
Now , about these meetings . Oar enemies say that we always exaggerate . But as I write for tho working men , who love the truth , I can appeal to them if ever they saw such meetings , for a whole week and more , . On Monday morning , at eight o ' clock , I left Newcastle for Edinburgh ; and 1 think I left it better than I found it , having enrolled nearly 1 , 100 members , and having revived a spirit which is not likely to be put down . Chartism is now more lively than ever in Northumberland and Durham .
EpiNBUBfiH . —I arrived here at eight , p . m ., and went off at once to Cecilia Hall ; a very very large theatre . I took my pack of cards , like a " pedlar " —but not a tbaffickikg onk—with me . Boxes , Galieries , Pit , and Stage were filled : all olasses , magistrates , lawyers , and all . But now for a dodge . The humbugs had invited Mr . Duncombe to a Soiree , and without the knowledge of the working men . That party , —the humbugs . —amounting to nine in this city , contrived to muster about two hundred to meet Mr . Dtmcomhe .
The Chartists isueed a bill denying that they had any part in the proceedings . Mr . Duncombe went there , and told them that they had a right if they professed the' principles , to take tbe name ; and they all looked very blue He must have increased hia cold there ; but when he came to our house , at half-past ten , we soon warmed him . He delighted the " Modern Athenians ; " and they passed a vote of confidence in him , and in me . He again came out for " NAHB am > all ; '' and said that bad he gone to the Sturge Conference , as delegate from Edinburgh , he would not have consented t » give up ihe name . But Chartism is dead here ¦ ' Wait till yon hear the proof ! I enrolled
550 MEMBERS and was so delighted with every thing , that I have promised to be back here aud at Leith on Saturday next , when I will make it up to 1000 . Chabtish is neither dead nob dying . It has been injured by a set of greedy devils ; but the people nave shaken them off . I have no more to Bay , but that I am just about to start for Dundee with Mr . Duncombe ; and that / donoifind Chartism dead in Scotland ; but on the contrary , more lively than ever . Think of 550 members , with all the sneaks feat have been trying to choke U 9 in one way or other . 1 hope to manage fee 25 , 000 yet ; and then the growlers will have something to bark at .

In Spring . K | lifetrad 6 ( daringthelajA { ew b ) a class of manufacturers have arisen , who , without capital or correct moral principles to regulate their con , duct , have commenced a system of dishonorable competition with the respectable masters . To enable them to do so , the wages of the workmen have been reduced —« ie articles manufactured have been in consequence deteriorated in quality as well as reduced in price ; these £ ave been introduced into an already over-atocked mar-Set , clogging op every avenue , deceiving the customer in snbBtitntiDg an inferior fora genuine article , bringing disgrace upon themselves , and rula upoB the town and Its manufactures . Perhaps it may be said competition becomes nnjust when the wages of the workmen and tae credit of the dealer have to suffer in order to support such a system . It is to stem the tide of such a torrent of dishonourable and disgraceful proceedings , that j the efforts of the committee ore about to be directed .
Aa a trade , the Spring Hnjfe Cutlers have become almost Broverbial as degraded ; and why ? Is it because its members are less intelligent ; than the generality of working men ? Wb answer , No ! Is it because they are less industrious , less ingenious or persevering than in other trades f We think not . It is becanso they have been worse paid , their industry less rewarded , and their labour worse remunerated . Ought it to be bo ? Reason and an enlightened philanthropy alike answer no ? Shall tbeso things continue ? Wo hope not , and it is our purpose to break those shackles Which htve so long bound « i Fellow-Townsmen , will you help us to do so ? We hope yon will , and wo think we snail not be . disappointed . . If we continue to fall , ethers must and will inevitably follow j if we rise , all will feel the benefit
It is not to be expected that evils which have been years in accumulaWug can be removed in a day , or all at once ; but unless something be done , we feel assured that the reproach which has been heaped upon us by foreigners , on account of the inferior and trashy articles which have been sent abroad , and the efforts they are now making to perfect their own manufacture * , will eventually shut ns out of the markets of the worid . ¦ " Ba not weary in well-doing , " is the advice now given : upon the encouragement and assistance you afford depends the future success of the cause ; and whatever others may do , you mutl , to the extent of yaor ability , render all the aid in your power .
Up , and be doiBg then I and , while labouring and helping , exercise patience and perseverance , and , ere long , returning prosperity and happiness will once more visit our town and trade . Hoping Wot time will soon arrive , and anxiously expecting its coming , we remain , your obedient servants . The Mutual Aid Committee op the Spbjkg Knife Trade . P . S .

CUMBERLAND QUARTER SESSIONS . TRIAL OF THE WHITE HAVEN "RIOTERS . " Cookermoutb , Oct . 18 , 1843 . The trial of Daniel Uarraty and James Doran , two of the party charged with having administered a sound and hearty thrashing to some seoedfiru from the Miners' Association , came on today . The Court was densely crowded by persons anxious to witness the rather novel display of "justices justice ; " and the bench presented a larger display of the " great unpaid" than we have ever
before observed . Peue , Lord Lonadales agent , was not present ; there were rumours that he was in bed , suffering from a flagellation administered on , the proper prominence indeed , but ri ^ ourously and rather unskilfully—the operator having made up by a strong and untiring arm for his deficiencies in " Cardigan" science . The rumour , however , was quite unfounded . Mr . Roberta had been specially sent by the Miners Association , to defend their brethren ; and , with his counsel Mr . Greig , sat immediately in front of the Chairman . Mr . Ramshay was counsel for the
prosecution . Our readers are familiar with the leading features of the story . The Colliers of Whitehaven are a most grievously oppressed , race of men ; more so even than their brethroa in Durham , Stafford , or other coal districts . Their wages for the most part hardly exceed six shillings per week ; aud for this minerable pittance they are constantly exposed to the miseries of a foul atmosphere and the danger of sudden death . During the few last pears , more than six hundred lives have been sacrificed , which might HAVE BEEN PRESERVED BY A SH&LL EXPENDITURE by the coal owners . From this horribio state of existence they had no hope of emerging , until the establishment of the Miners' Association , and the appearance of Mr . Brpphy , the talented and energetic lecturer seat by that Association , to instruot
them in the benefits to be derived from a cordial union . Mr * Brophy ' e argumentative appeals to their reason worked a change in their minds . One after another , aad by tens and hundreds , the men joined the " Association" , and looked forward with hope to a peaceful and successful struggle with Capital . The natural and necessary result of this could not , of course , be concealed from'the masters . They held several meetings , at which Mr . Peile was very active ; and at laBt entered into a solemn league and oovenant to employ no pitman who would not sign a pledge to belong neither to the Miners' Association , nor any other Association for the Protection of Labour , for the term of two years . This wanton exercise of tyranny provoked a feeling of independenoo in tbePitmen . All , or most of them , refused to sign ; the pledge , and were immediately turned out of employ . ¦ ¦ .
Two members of the Association , named Garrowway , father and son , were , soon after their joining it , bought over by Peile ; they signed the obnoxious pledge ; earned the love of their master , and the intense hatred of their fellow-sufferers ; and were permitted to return to their employment . One mult of this , —who can doubt it ! -rwas , what gome people call , " a good licking . " Others speak of the thing as " a sound thrashing . " When we were boys , we should have chronicled the act in our everlasting memory , as " a thorough good hiding , and no mistake . " Lustily , vigorously , and well was the castigation administered ; theyUl " remember it" a long time to come .
Garraty and Doran had been active members of the Association , and had done their utmost to keep the Pitmen firm to their principles . Tne prejudice against them was therefore Btrong and bitter among the coal owners . Evidence was procured . A little goes a oeeai way ! The coal owners are the Magistrates . The men were committed for trial , and great was the joy of the masters . ' The trial WaB just What might have been expected . Nearly all the magistrates on the bench were either owners of : collieries , or connected with them by
marriage , &o . The witnesses ware the two GraTro « wayB' who had bees ¦ ' » licked . ? ' Their falsehoods and prevarications were meat gross . One swore thas on the evening when he " ootelied it , " it was as light r ^ day : the other that it was so dark that he sho , \ d not have known the prisoners but for a lantern i \ iat was held to their faces t When before the cr yjanntiing magistrates , only one of the prosecutor . a swore to having seen the prisoners at a parncular « pot : at the trial io / A prosecutors had seen them- All these were pointed but in the eloquent and pow < rrful speech of Mr . Greig , but he might as well hi Ae spoken to the winds .
The chairman w summoned ap . " , The jury latd their headsj together : — "Guilty , rAj J ^ rd « " And then the magistrates rotired to consider the sentence . "' O ! how they chuckled ! , Feeble old shanks rattled and crackled with joy ? , s they hobbled oatand then they hobbled in agai ' j . " Eighteen months imprisonment and . hard laborer" was the sentence on Garraty : and . twelve months imprisonment" for Doran ,

Several times during the trial tbe name of Mr . Brophy was mentioned , and it was curious to observe the effect on the magistrates . They actually grotMied with passion . What a world of good that man must have done , to elicit such a tribute ; sach a oowvinoiDe proof of his power , from such s tribunal I They literally writhed with agony , every time the name was uttered : Some , indeed , who might be supposed to entertain a hope of oatching him , smacked their lips as if crushing the bones and licking in the gravy of a young snipe , when the witnesses spoke of the effect produced by his lectures : We woold not give much for his chance of an acquittal , if tried at Cockermouth . ' ' ¦ ¦ - —¦¦¦ - ¦» ¦ ¦ ¦ - ¦
A rather curious scene occurred at the commencement of the trial . [ It was observed by tho whole Court . The Jury ; had given several verdicts of " acquittal" in cases where evidently a verdict of " Guilty" had been anticipated ; aad when the " Colliers' Case" was called on , the Counsel for the prosecution intimated that he should like another Jury , that in the box being " too merciful . '' Then ensued a rapid "telegraphing" between the Bench and the prosecntor ' s attorney , or rather Peiles ' attorney . The result was , a confidence in their minds thatitwaa al' right . " Immediately on the verdict being giv 6 D , Mr . Greig moved in arrest of judgment , on the ground that the Quarter Sessions had no jurisdiction in cases of conspiracy . Bnt his argument was addressed to unwilling ears . It availed nothing .
A heavier sentence was anticipated by those who knew how deeply the magistrates were interested in putting a stop to the Miners' Association ; and heavier it would have been if the prisoners had not been most ably defended . But the presence of Mr . Roberts , as the recognised legal adviser of the Union , had a beneficial effect . The result of this trial is yet to be j seen : we think it will add strength to the cause which it was intended to destroy . j

THE EXECUTIVE TO THE CHABTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . Fellow Covntetmen , —We are again compelled to address you in a state of uncertainty relative to the Enrolment of our Rules . Oar legal adviser , Sergeant Bodkia , will oot be able to give his opinion until tomorrow morning , which will be too late for this edition of the Northern Star ; though to trtist to communicate it in a later edition . But whatever the legal decision may be , we have still a most important duty to perform ; a duty to you who have placed us in our present position . Is j Chartism to be abolished because its details may not be in accordance with a Government
official's interpretation of tbe Friendly Societies'Act ? Are the acknowledged principles of justice and liberty to cease being promulgated , because of Tidd Pratt ' s decision ? and ia that cause which has flourished under persecution ; which has grappled with the storm , and blanched not ; which , despite of oppression and the oppressor ' s power , has grown from infancy to manhood , ? ow to be blighted by ] a mere passing gale ? or shrouded in oblivion by the legal dictum of an hireling lawyer ? Forbid it patriotism ! ] We cannot think so meanly of our fellow labourers , as to suppose they will abandon the high vantage ground they have obtained , and sink into the tame , submissive vassalage to which the factions would willingly reduce them .
Men of England ! 'Arouse from your apathy t Do you acknowledge the ] principles of Chartism ? If you do , we call upon to prove your sincerity by hoisting the banner of the National Charter Association in every town in the Kingdom , and marshalling your forces under the" New Organization . The time for party contests has gone by . THE STRCSGLS IS / row between Labour and Capital . The bad laws and wretched contrivances of modern legislation have placed these two esasntl&l requisites for prosperity in deadly opposition to each other . Hitherto Capital
has been triumphant ; and Labour has been dragged in captivity at her chariot wheels . Our struggle shall be to emancipate Labour—to place it upon aa eqa&I political footing with Capital : Bnd never till this is achieved can amity exist between them , or the interests ef the one be made consistent with those of i * 3 rival . In this arduous undertaking , we claim your support . We demand your co-operation . Backed by you , we will fearlesaly prosecute it to success : bnt unless we receive your active assistance ; unless yon , as working men , depend on yourselves , and do your own work , you will ever remain degraded slaves .
In order to assist in carrying the Organization into operation , we advise ! the Chartists to send to as for election lists of persons qualified to become members of the General Council of the National Cbatter Association . This list muBt be confined to seven persons , including sub-Secretary and Treasurer . One person should alao be nominated to fill the office of district Councilman . { The meetings in each town must be meetings of Chartists ; and not meetings of the National Charter Association . This must be strictly attended to , to avoid the fangs of the law . Cards will t 3 supplied to members after the first quarter free of expence . Any further information required will be supplied on application to the Secretary , 243 A , Temple Bar .
Brethren : from many important districts we have not yet received applications for cards . To wh * t fecson nre we to attribute this sluggishness f Is the spirit of Chartism so extinguished , that it can be no more kindle ? Is it from apathy , or from the machinations ol interested pirttes ? Whatever may be the cause , we trust thej effect will Bpeedlly cease : that wherever Chartism bs | d previously raised its giant head , there again will it rise with renewed vigour from its se eming slumber , and march onward to victory . Let ' union" be our watchword . Let the organization be our rallying point . Let up just suspicions be banished ; honesty aud trustfulness of purpose be our characteristics ; and we fear not the result . Thomas Clark . Henry Ross . Phili > M'Gkath , President . THOMAg M . Wheeler , Secretary . London . October 251 1843 .
