HUMAN LIFE . ] DROBABLY no theory can come more welcome X to the human mind than the one which establishes , on good grounds , a hope for prolonged existence ; for , notwithstanding the trials , vexations , and difficulties incident to this life , the love of life increases with our years ; it is one of the innate princi ples of our nature , and cannot be explained away by any of the subtleties of the sophist , nor overcoma by any amused dignity derived from a false philosophy . There are many of these inextinguishable principles in our nature—our love of freedomlore of country—love of home , and many others , but the love of life predominates . At present , the popular opinion is , that the natural duration of human life is seventy years , but this is contrary to both sacred and profane history . This opinion is , no doubt , founded on a misunderstanding of a passage of the 90 th Psalm , where it is indeed

PRESTON . —As we have had some aji 3 givnig as to the political position of onr party % t Preston , and tout little news from that town of late , we have great pleasure in publishing the following letter to Mr . O'Connor , which simply and at © nee explains the manner in which the Chartists were cheated by Sir Heskeih Fleetwood , and the manner in which he got their rapport . We thought th * t Preston , the stronghold : of Huntum , would , if wrong , very speedily right itself , and we did not miscalculate , a 3 will appear by the following letter . We rejoice to fuKlthat Mr . M&rsden has returned to his old quarters . Preston , August 8 th , 1841 . Deab Feabgcs , —I bare no doubt but yon will pardon the liberty I now take of writing a few lines to yon , when . I tell you I am a poor bat honest Chartist . Though unknown to you , I have ever been a warm admirer of your principles , and , as far as my humble abilities would permit , ever ready fearlessly to advocate
them . I formerly lived in Kendal ; till the last twelve months I have bees residing in Preston . Soon after my residence here I was appointed President of the Chartist Association , and was elected as delegate to the Manchester Delegate Meeting , at the time the rules of the Kational Charter Association underwent a revision . I only mention these things to shew yon that I am no impostor . Sines the election the Prestos Chartists are arousing from their apathy . The part we took in the election you will be well aware of , though nothing has appeared respecting it in the Star , except what O'Brien said in one of his letters of out conduct on that occasion . I am jscie you would have highly approved had yon been beie . I was one of tire deputation that waited upon
the different candidates for the purpose of ascertaining their different political creeds . Sir IL Fleetwood promised not only to present but support a petition for the release of Frost , Williams , aud Jones , and all political prisoners , and stated that no mas ought to be imprisoned for stating his political opinions , either by speaking or writing , asd the word sedition ought to be erased from the Statute Book ; such a thing as a political prisoner ought never to be , and he would support a relation to that effect : indeed , he wonld go the whole length of the Charter . Sir Q . Strickland the same , except the suffrage : he would like to try Household first . All these promises we value not , except the release of Frost , &c The other candidate , PSrker , would do nothing in our favour , and for this he lost his election .
The Whigs since then have commenced an Operative Reform Association . They sent out circulars for a meeting to form this Association ,- seven of these were sent to the leading Chartists . We attended ; and of all the blarney you ever heard was bestowed on the Chartists . The meeting waa composed of the- head manufacturers , lawyers , attorneys , kc . They said they would have no test or declaration , so that they could admit all parties . On the motion being about to _ be put , one of our Chartists , Mr . Murphy , stood up and reqnested to move an amendm = nt , " That the five points of the People ' s Charter be the test of admission . "
It was seconded . What looks , what consternation sppesxed amongst them ! One professed himself a Chartist , then another ; but their main object was to join all grades , and called as illiberal . But they got a > g * hi ^ g they little expected , though they carried their motion , being so many in number . They then read a lot of names they had selected for a Committee , when two or three Chartists were intermixed amongst the broad cloths ; but they immediately demanded their names to be erased . Much discussion ensued , but the gents begged we would only consider them as our friuidB , and not opponents . They have established a large reading room , < tc
We bave had out-door meetings , and challenged them to discussion ; but , alas . ' they are chop-fallen . A few of the aristocratic trortiag class hare joined them , bat not the sort they want . Many new members have joined our ranks since this move . There are a few honest Chartists in Preston , but poor . JCever was a tender father more beloved by his children than yon are by the people of Preston generally : many would go to the dsata to serve you . We baTe got poor Richard Marsden to reside amongst us : he came a fortnight since , but , poor fellow ! he is badly off . He will be a great ha ! p to us when he gets properly settled . My dear Sir , I hare seal yoa all the news "sr * rth hearing in a p > ain way : consider I am bui a weaver , but have often felt a desire to write to you . My heart often bests high when I contemplate the pleasure I shall have in seeing you released from year dungeon . Tour last letters have done more good than I am able to describe amongst both Whigs and Tories .
But , my dear Sir , the great object ox my writing was to know what colour of fustian or moleskin you would come out of prison in : you will much oblke many friends by announcing it in the . Star , and buttons ilsa . If we poor devils are ever permitted to have , another new jacket , -we could like the same colour . I could write columns of thanks and weil wishes frcra your fustiafl-js . ck 6 t iriends , feat you know that we til love yon 1 I am , Sir , Tout humble and devoted friend . E .

HTTWSiET . —The Charttota of Hunslet beW their first weekly meeting in their new room , altsate in ths Fleece Yard , near the Stock * Hill , on Tvesdcy evening , when several new members were enrolled , and officers and Council chosen for the Anting quarter . It is intended to send for a quantity of the new issue of tickets from the Executive , as soon aa the probable nnmber wanted shall be ascertained . Sunday evenings were appointed for preaching ; Tsesday evenings for lectures and reading ; to commence at half-past seven , Saturday evenings , commencing at half-past seven , for transacting the business of the Society , and receiving the contributions , and enrolling fresh member * , and reading .

the room on Saturday and Tuesday evenings next , for the purpose of having them immediately forwarded in a parcel to Ireland . Several stones in weight are already promised , and too many cannot be sent . The prospects of this Society were never bo promising : the oatdoor preachings have dose great good , and the months of &e mockers and objectors have been stopped . Chartism is everywhere the subject of conversation and scrutiny , and the great surprise is that the muchtalked of and dreaded pbysical-foTce doctrine cannot be found is it : all is peace on earth , and good-will to man-All friends are affectionately invited to join the Society immediately , and do their utmost , by aunioa of effort , to pnt down , by every legal and peaceful means , the direful rule and oppression that blasts the nation with its sway .
STOCKPORT . —Benbow . —On Sundayevening , the Chartists ' -room , Bomber ' s- brow , which is capable of holding six hundred people , was nearly filled , with an audience of both sexes , to hear Mr . Benbow , who has suffered two yeara conSnement in the Castle at Chester , for a sermon preached in this town a little more than two years ago . Mr . John Wright was called to the chair . Mr . Benbow Epoke at some length to the following effect He was once more in a condition to speak » o them openly and freely ; indeed it had always been his motto to do bo under all circumstances , and he trusted he should continue , notwithstanding the consequences . He took for his motto the words of St . Paul , " Prove all things and hold fast that which is good . " He would stand upon the doctrines he preached to the
people , because they were founded upon truth and justice ; his cause was the cause of God , and thus it was that the tyrants covered their faces for shame , and would not come forward like honest men to hear the truth He anticipated that some good might be done by sermonising—for if there ever was a good man whose only object was to do good , who practised what he taught , and perfect in all his undertakings—a true Christian , a true Reformer , a true Republican , it was Jesus Christ The New Testament contains a rule of life . St . Paul recommends every man to look after his own affairs—the neglect of this rule had been the means of bringing about most of the miseries and misrule under which the people suffer j they have left others to perform that for them which they should
have done for themselves . By adopting that rule , by proving all things , they would be enabled to distinguish and secure the good—by attending to that rule , Uiey would find out those who were actuated by probity and virtue , who were real friends , and be able to separate them from the cunning and crafty—from the tyrant and the upholder of tyranny—from those who would effectually strip them of every vestige ef liberty , happiness , and right which belonged to them . Ignorance and degradation went hand in hand—a people who were inattentive to their own interest , and looked to others to do that which they should do for themselves , wonld be an easy prey to the subtle and crafty . It was tke interest of those who fattened upon the people ' s ignorance to draw a veil oTer their eyes—to wrap
truth m mystery , and turn it to their advantage , while they robbed them of their birthright The subject under consideration required attention as well as consideration and care , because there would always be impostors in the world . The people must , then , take the advice of St Paul , ' Prove all things , " 4 c , improve their understandings , be determined not to be led by falsehood , and although seeking informa tion might be an irksome task , it would always reward them a thousandfold . It would be a source of satisfaction to a man to know that he had arrived at truth , and that he could detect impostors who wiBhed to palm erroneous and false assertions upon him ; and that he was elevated from the profound degradation in which he was sank by ignorance and inattention to the
sacred rights which the laws of God and Nature had blessed him with , and which the Divine Creator ordained him to enjoy , without the interference of lordly tyrants , who have usurped the privileges which belonged to their fellow-creatures , by laws made by themselves , and without the consent of the majority of the people . The speaker went on to shew many impositions which have been practised from tinio to time upon the industrious people , under the garb of religion , and that such had been the case he thonght few before him were -willing to dispute . He said he would endeavour ta shew the urgent necessity of their persevErance in the obtainment and choice of that whicn was good . They were all interested in using their efforts to cast aside the veil of hypocrisy , and pay attention to
and establish the facts &nd opinions consonant to the religion of Jesus Christ which he conceived were based upon truth and justice . It ^ as intended by the great Creator , as fully illustrated in his works , that every human being should be in possession of nature ' s bounties and live in happiness aud comfort . The principles of the gospel were eternal and never varying , adapted to all times , to all men , and to all places . It was good news to the whole people . He begged to remind his friends that the gospel was not at variance with the liberties of mankind ; the nun who says it was , be hoped they would henctf jrth set down as an imposter , or one who wished either directly or indirtcUy to pick their pockets ; reasoning from the
order of nature they would conclude there was perfect liberty , and be assured that he never contradicted in his word , wb 3 t he had made with his hands . The will of God was that mankind might be happy ; that was the everlasting law of Gad . Now , notwithstanding the great diversity and modes of faith , even where the gospel had not been preached there was sufficient to prove that all nitn ought to be just . That virtue was eternal , and every individual wzs bound to seenre his own preservation from hunger , and assist to make the whole of society happy . After touching upon several things , bearing upon his text , fee sat down , his sermon having occupied an hour and a half . A vote of thanks was given to him at iU conclusion .
NEWCASTLE . — The Newcastle Chartists held their weekly meeting this evening , Monday , Mr . Crothers in the chair . The Secretary read the minutes of last meeting , which were confirmed . He likewise read a letter from Mr . M'Gregor , of Edinburgh , for which they return him their hearty thanks . A lengthy discussion on various topics took place relative to a more efficient mode of organising the town and district , when Mr . Mason moved , and Mr . Franklandseconded , "That a deputation be appointed to wait upon all persons known to be friendly to th 9 Charter , and to request them to enrol their names in the National Charter Association ' s books , " which being put from the chair , was carried unanimously . There were a good many names enrolled . The Treasurer reported tke
contributions for the week , which are still on tho increase . There was 16 s . lid . paid in to night for Mr . O'Brien ' s Petition Fund , which will be transmitted to the treasurer , Mr . O'Connor , on the 2 ith instant There w ? s 5 s . from the masons of Shateley-bridge , paid in by Mr . "W . Smith , ice The Chartists have engaged the Ocean steamer for Sunday , the 22 nd , to take a pleasure trip to Hartley and Ssaton Delavel Gardens—the proceeds to go for the good of the cauBe of liberty . A public meeting will be held at the most central colliery in the district during the stay of the boat at Hartley . The Newcastle Chartists meet every Monday evening at their long room , Chancellor ' s Head Yard , to transact business , anfl to enrol the name 3 of such as belive that the Charter should become the law of the land .
YEOVIL . —There was a meeting of the Chartists of this town held on Monday week , when a discussion was finished which has occupied attention for tbxee successive meeting nights , the question being— " Whether the elective franchise is the natural right of every man ?" We had great pleasure in having for our antagonist a gentleman whe is a friend to the Chartist cause , but who considers Universal Suffrage to be a matter of expediency rather than cf right . The question was caintainecl with great animation by each party ; and although the illiterate Chartists had to contend with a person who wa 3 well acquainted with the rules of logic , and who was moreover possessed of great knowledge , yet , witfe these attainments , he acknowledged himself to be defeated , er what is as good , he declared himself to be incapable of grappling with a few plain
questions which were put to him . This gentleman waa not able to prove , with all his logical tact and talent , that the grsat First Cause created one man to be a slave , and another to be free—that he gave to one man the power of domineering and tyrannising over his fellow-man , or that God gave to a few individuals the right of miking laws to the exclusion of all the others . He was unable to prove that society was not coKstmcted for the good of all , and that , consequently , all ought to participate in the management of the affairs of that society . After the debate was closed , a vote of thanks was unanimously given to Messrs Bambrxdga and Stevens , for xhe able manner in Which they advocated the Chartist cause , at a meeting held at the Unitarian Chapel , for the purpose of sending a delegate to the Manchester Conference ,
BARNSLEY . —The Chartists held their weekly meeting at Mr- Hoey ' s house on Monday night , when it was decided that the public meeting on Barnsley Feast Monday Bbould be held at one o ' clock in the afternoon . Mr . Harney and Mr . T . B . Smith will address the meeting . It is hoped tho » e two gentlemen will contrive to be in Barnsley as early on that day as possible . Mr . Peter Hoej ' s case was then . " nought forward , when Mr . Frank Mirfield stated that the Comiiiittea appointed to send him to Ireland , borrowed £ 5 for that purpose frem Mr . Lewis , a friend of Mr . Peter Hoey ' s : since then £ 4 more have been borrow ~ "Jd of that gentleman , which haa been remitted to Mr .-Hoey some time fiince . Only £ 1 of this money has been repaid to Mr . Lewis . Of course £ 8 is still owing . We hope our brother Chartists in other towns will enable us to meet this demand , and alss to keep our friend in Ireland a short time longer . They are requested to remit their subscriptions to Mr . Feargus O'Cosaor .

view of man in his savage and civilised state , beautifully explained his natural and Ms social rights , and pointed out the duties that were incumbent on all who were engaged in seeking for the restoration ef those rights . He next pointed out the means that bad always been employed by oppressors to keep the people in slavery , the seductive practices that were resorted to to entrap the unwary among the working people to join the array , and thus , by playing of one portion of the people ' s strength against the other , succeeded in keeping themselves in irresponsible powar . He then pointed out to the middle classes the injustice that would be
practised on them if working uien were to exclude them from the enjoyment of tha franchise ; went into the principles of the Charter , and in the most clear and convincing manner , pointed out the truth and justice of its various clauses . He concluded amidst the mostenthusiasticapplause . Mr . Chandleymoved aresolution , pledging the meeting to agitate for nothing but the Charter , which was carried with enthusiasm . Mr .
