MEETING IN ST . JLtfDftEavS BALL , NORWICH . The unparalleled destitution now existing in the British Empire , and particularis m Norwich , induced tfceCbartists to present a ieg . niattton to the . Mayor , requesting htm to oil a public meeting to consider and adopt tome mean * ot immediate and permanent relief ; that the direful e 8 fee& of involuntary idleness might tw averted , and . oomfbri restored to the industrious artisan . ¦ Many question ! were asked , but , ultimately , hi * "Worship consented to allow us -the use of St Andrewi F *" , | f tre thought proper to eonrene the meeting our-¦ elves ; we eonsented to embrace the opportunity , and were given to understand that a repeal of the Com Xawa would be proposed as aa efficient remedy , and thai Sidaej- Smith would be BoHcifred to attend , Udi ¦ with other gentlemen , show to the meeting the benefits to be expected from their abolition .
Nothing daunted , the brave Charasfcs went to work , paring neither labour or expense . The day arrived , aad on Wednesday noon , Oct . SO , they entered the apadous halL Order being obtained , Mr . Richard Batson was elected chairman , and opened the meeting ty reading the placard , aad requesting that each and every gentleman , who wished to address the meeting , would ascend the platform , and express his sentiments without teSBTTO . He then impressed upon the meeting the necessity of giving a patient hearing to each speaker , and should a difference of opinion srise , allow the arguments 0 / each to be duly considered , and give their decision according to merit Two Reverend Gentlemen requested permission to address the meeting , and were invited to a seat near the chair . The business of the meeting then proceeded . The Rev . Gentlemen waited till near the -doae , then rising , said they bad no fault to find with the arguments adduced , and retired .
Mr . Huhsbi-l , in moving the first resolution , referred to the Duke of Wellington ' s declaration that the distress did not exist to a great extent , and that any man who was willing to work would be able to rise to riches . Sir Robert Peel , that very Joseph Surface of Cabinet Ministers , had acknowledged that there was « ome distress , but at the same time gave the lie to his declaration by quoting the amounts placed in the Savings * Banks in order to shew how rich and prosperous the eeuntry was . This was not true ; the living macs before him , with then- pallid cheeks , declared there was CUCress . He knew the poor of Norwioh well ; and their homes bespoke their wretchedness . He knew there were hundreds whe rose in the morning not knowing Where a find a breakfast If umbers had not a bed , but
Were compelled to lay oa straw . He asked Sir Robert Peel aad the Dake of Wellington , was not that distress ? As he came to the Hall , he set a friend who was tiitn going to the workhouse . He aid he had remained in Norwich for work until he had lost his all ,- and that he was sow compelled t » go to Wicklswood . If they Walked the streets ef Norwich , they would cease te "bear the hum of industry—not a shuttle was to be betrd . It they went into other districts , although they were bad , still they would find them weaving the work Norwich should da Distress wai 1 throughout the country ; then was scarely a person who did not la some degree feel it , except the aristocrat . He had gone about With the requisition , and the shopkeepers universally declared they felt it ; that where they formerly took ten pounds , they now received only one . Hurrell then
referred to the numbers in the workhouse , on relief , and the hundreds subsisting either by charity or begging because they could obtain no relief , in proof of the distress . He then read a long letter from a Stockport paper to shew the great distress in that district All this he argued , proved that the country was in a state of great misery . Was this to be borne , and were they to g « on until the whole kingdom became one lump of degradation . The working men were fast falling , the shopkeepers would next go , and the rich -men would files be compelled to maintain them . It was time for them to see what could be dona Measures would be "brought forward in which he thought all would agree , and if any one did not , let him come forward and fro pose his own plans . He then read the first resolution : —
« That this masting is of opinion that unparalleled destitution and distress now exists in the British empire , and that immediate relief is absolutely necessary to stay its appalling effect * . " Mr . — Hbwett seconded the resolution . He quoted two cases of distress whieh he said he had Been -One a woman named Hone , in Thorpe Hamlet , who was laying in bed ill without furniture 01 food ; her husband had been ill in the hospital for five weeks , and ¦ atte had to work . The other person was a woman of
the name of Hudd , who had walked to Smallburgh for relief , but could obtain none , and was obliged to return ' the twelve miles , the Guardians having told her they 1 did not eare anything about her distress . He then \ referred to the numbers of poor compared wish those : of last year . Was it not , be asked , an awful state to be brought to , for industrious people to . be travelling j the streets of the city unable even to obtain sufficient : potatoes ? The speaker then read a long extract from j the Dispatch to show the distress in various places [ He concluded by seconding the resolution . j
The Secretary ( Mr . Goat ; then read a letter from tiie "weavers in the wearing shop in tbe , Trorkhouse , ! eomplaining of their distressed stats . After which he Went on to state what be said had occurred to him- ' self when placed there . The men were not allowed more than the amount of relief—one shiLing -pet -week per head , which was not more thin seren farthines ¦ a-day .-and what was thai , vhsn outcfii tbej bad to paytot rent , light , and firing . When he was there , he found tiat tke loom in whieh he was placed , from its construction , -would be fatal to his existence . He told the overseer it must be altered—that he waa . a practical
man , and had warkejrsaeh doth . To which the overseer replied , you do not expect to come here to have your loom altered in such a way as to add to your comfort ? as it is fixed so , you must wodc it Many were obliged to leave because they could not , ; bat be did not say that there were not some who were aWe to work it ; but be was looking at the tyranny of the masters , who would have compelled ' him . What , he aaked , was the slavery of the West Indies to this ? These were circumstances of whieh be was sorry to speak , but they could be borne testimony to by many . He concluded by supporting the motion . ' Mr . Clarke
moved" That li is the opinion of this meeting , that it i = the imperative duty of the present Government immediately to advance the sum of tweztj millions sterling , for the parpese of locating upon the land the industrious artisans of ocr country -whose labour is superseded through the application of machinery , and that an address be presented to her Majesty's Government to that effect " In support of the resolution , he adverted to the statements of preceding speakers , on the distressed condition of the country , and to the strange anomaly of exireme wealth and extreme destitution exisung together in 80 striking a manner aa is afforded by the different classes of tax-eaters , tithe-eaters , profit-mongers , landlords , and tax-payers , t ithe-payers , and workers of this
country . He referred to the black slate grant of twenty millions , and then went on . There is a porticn of men in this country who ijet their bread "without th * sweat from the brew . We a * k £ 20 , 000 , 080 f ^ -r the people of England , ¦ who have been superseded by machinery . Do we ask for it as a direct gift ? And is there no land in England which you have a right to ? What is becoms of the land wkich belongs to the people ? Where are the Crown lands ? TVhere are the Church lands that -were given to you ? Why , they have been swallowed up by men who Lave no tight to them . Let Government call upon them , and say , assiit SB to locite the people on the land—to give them bread to eat There are other lands now lying waste -which mi ght be taken in , upon which the peopis might labour , tnd benefit themselves . The ¦ principle has , We fiid , -worked -well in America , -where , by the niasic touch of her _ . industry , the
barren lands had beccme fertile , and that tie Waters had withdrawn . Wekno w that that great Bting who gave us existence , and all things suitable for cur wants , was ever ready to assist us , and if the rich legislators of tha country would only so distribute their Wealth , there -would be no such misery . They may call us anarchists and revolationists x but * first let them prove that the institutions , as s * present & 0 ministered , were for the general happiness of the country , -while others , cm the contrary , were starving for -rant . The institution in this cduntry was like a little bey , who was grown out of his clothes and wanted to Jiave a new snit . £ 28 , 000 , 000 was all they asked fer , and if the Government , Sir Robert Peel and the Dake of Wellington . do justice to the people , they will grant it immediately . If we , in order to give relief , alter the sugar duties , the monopolists will come forward and say , you still not meddle with ow interest If the Com Law , the
landowners and parsons jump up and say you must not ; touch our vested rights . They then say the country is ' in an alarming situation , of which he had no doubt Bui to yen who are powerless they turn a deaf ear to you , j and as powerless as you are , you have never yet rigbly ' understood the might and power placed in your hands .. ( Hear , hear . ) It is you who produce the temple and ¦ pfT *^«—it is you who prepuce the clothing—it is you ; Who produce all that decorate and rnament these . buildings ; by your industry everything is made ; by ! . your industry we see things travelling across the seas to ' exchange with all the countries in the world ; and if « 70 a have only the spirit to tell them in plain and j distinct terms that you are prepared by your honest industry to go upon the land , and as * oon as you can you will return the capital .
jfz . l Jokes then came forward and addressed the mating with great rapidity and length , The meeting had given him great pleasure , not in Hearing the distress , not in seeing their care-worn and haggard countenances , - but in hfiri"g them discuss the question with a calm « ad conJftitutionai voice , which must have it * eflect He knew ft 16 * it bad been said ?*«*¦ these . meetings were more the result of agitation and the speeches of certain f yrrrmfn g » nd interested mfTi than of the distress .

Pe * l can obeit yoa out of the ballet In this distress you call upon the ( Jovemment for twenty millions , that you may locate yourselves upon the waste lands of this country—that by the union of yoar labour witti their capital you may place yourselves in such a position as had never been done before . This call should not be violent—should not arisa out of a spirit of anger , that spirit Is fast dying away . - NotwitlistaiidingtheWBnopsnotwitstaading our venerable institatloas- ^ -good Institutions when raised—there is no doubt that they have allowed the mass of the people to remain in atter Ignorance . Out ofthUignormce , acted upon by wvare distress , arose a feeling among the people of retaliation and revenge—that was what must naturally first arise when their suffering continued . They then asked , why
they were suffering ? And now came that wUdom which had produced th § result , and had anted a voice and shout which could not be put aside . He thought they were right in demanding this money . Heknew there was a great deal of benevolence in the country . Would there were equal wisdom ; he knew that benevolence was extending itself to every part of the eountay and in every form . Notwithstanding they had sent twenty millions to 4 b * West ' Indies—another half million for the saving' of souls in other countries , and a third half million to the colonies of convicts—although they were caused by their own mismanagement , still he thought it high time they should ask for a sum of money for their own use , and labour to divert the distress . There was no doubt that it was not the interest of society to support
them without work . At present society had done something for them , and it was better they should take to the woods and forests , if they could not go on with better support If the rich oppress , the poor will hate them . If this hod not been removed , religion nad been afcc . ff , wisdom nothing , society not worth a fig , and it would be far better to divide and separate at once . It had been said that the evil had been caused by the introduction of machinery . He knew it was- not a general evil , and that though it produced distress , still it was beneficial to some societies . He should never say it was an evil—not that it must be allowed to continue to work evil—but as it is a sew element , and has only effected that evil during the ; last twenty years , nothing could be more plain than to Introduce new
forms and rules for its better regulation . Machines were originally made to meet a demand—they were now so increased as to require aa extension of trade . They were told that the repeal of the Corn Law would produce that benefit—that trade could be doubled—but the supply would soon overstock the market—Mr . Johnson and Mr . Thomson do not know how much the market exactly required—and soon overstock the market , and they were forced to lay by theii stock in their 'warehouses , for however cheap their bread may be , they must compote with each other . Just so long as the market is overstocked must the working man remain out of employment , for he had nothing to depend on but his labour . These were the facts whieh came before him , and he defied any one to contradict them . The
question then was , were they to cast them off , o > were they te listen to them ? Were the working people of this country to sn&er , and while they were clothing all the world . to be compelled to walk about with none on their backs ? Were these the evidences of the policy and wisdom ef the Government ? No . Were these the proofs of our greatness as a nation ? Were these the things that made them the envy and admiration of the world ? When we look to the condition of our own people , we come to the conclusion , that if the world knew what we were , they would not think England so great as she would have them . The labour of the working man was most valuable , and the greatest next to that of the intellectual man , which points ont to them how to use it They had heard of the large sums
received by the Bishops , but what did they do for it ? They preached a sermon which be could go and buy printed for twopence . Therefore we give them tens of thousands for what competition would produce us for twopence . You who produce this are thousands ef you living upon twopence . Was this rational ? But so long as you speak of violence , so lone will the rich walk away from you ; when you talk on the subject of distress , so long win they try to stifle the public voloe and keep down the working man . If yon sh « w that yon understand the subject , asd when you speak , speak with a voice of a determination , that moment will they
manifest respect for you , and be as willing to assist you as they were to . give freedom to the blacks . Let us then choose for ourselves . There are the means in our hands . i housands of acres are uncultivated , and hundreds of thousands occupied by gentleman ' s parks which produce Dothinr . Let us teU the Government that we can do much for ourselves , and that we are ready to employ them for the benefit of ourselves and families . This will do rnore good in the country than any political party . Having made these few remarks , he hoped they -would show the gentlemen that they were also the gentlemen of the land , and were determined to be the freemen aleo .
Mr . Marshall , in seconding the resolution , said , it was a question of importance that was before them , and he hoped that Grt at Britain would respond to the call , for who could resist that cry when put in the right spirit You ask Government for your own land—land , which if they put the unemployed upon with capital and industry , will prove available to the poor r" »" Will you be starving ? No ! my friends ! youwillnot ; and 1 ray we most call upon the Blaoojw aad T > e&n to come out like Christians ; and ask tha Government to aid us . He felt it his duty to express his unanimous concurrence in the resolution .
The resolution was passed unanimously . The Secret art ( Goat ) said be was confidently of opm ™ U 10 otiservatiens that nad fallen from the vari ous speakers w » re useful , and wewobjects ef the most vitil importance , and more necessary of co-operation Bu * he hid one question to put to them , which was , the probability of success . It is a general maxim with me , when any object is in view , first to consider the means which ought to be exercised for the accomplishment of that objbct . and then to consider whether those means are at my disposal . I feel confident with many , that what yoa ask for , you have no chance of obtaining , while the Government is constituted as it is , who exercise their utmost power to benefit themselves and
crush the working classes . If we consider the position which we hold , and the source from whence it springs , it is not probable , however humble might be the requisition made to the Government , that they would concede , for 1 assure you that under the existing circumstances of this country it is almost needless to attempt it He then read the resolution , and said that he entirely concurred in the expressions which had been utttred that day , but he felt confident that it was useless time for them to throw away in petitioning Government . You will this day have an opportunity to show -whether the People ' s Charter is an instrument of unfairness or illiberality . I fear not any antagonistic observatiofc . s from uny one present , and I now beg to prepese the resolution which I hold in my hand ;—
" That this raettiog U of opinion that however requisite it may be , for the legislature to protect the sons of toil , and restrain the fiendish avarice of the monopolist , it is useless for this meeting to expect such an act of justice under the present representation in the ComraoLs HonEe of Parliament ; in consequence thereof it resolve to assist all -virtuous men in their endeavours constitutionally to obtain those rights specified in the Peopled Charter . " Mr . Be >" bow sfcont ! ed &te rero ^ ution . A petition was then proposed by the Secretary , but as it -would occuj-y half an hour , was not read , and it was cirrifed . Thinks were voted to the Mayor for the use of the Hal ' :. The inettiug broke np about four o ' clock .

HYPOCRISY OF THE WRONGHEADS . THE FOXES CAUGHT IN THEIR OWN TRAP . It is somewhat difficult to exhibit good humour after disappointment , and cowtesv after defeat ; and where the human mind does rise superior to such circumstances , we are naturally led to imagine that its training must have been in some of the superior schools . We are not , therefore , at all esrprised that the Leeds Foxes having failed to " put salt on the people's tails" find themselves , maugre their philosophy , "in a most towering passion , " and that their worthy ally , Mother Goose , should hiss and splutter vastly like an offended gander .
Goosey opines that the Chartists have committed mortal wrong in not standing quietly to have their tails salted . But Goosey should not be bo very angry if the " bird" was a little shy ; perhaps the " salt " mi /? ht have been more effective , if a little more ** savour , " —a little msre evidence of sincerity—had been infused into xt . So far , however , as any cordial wish for any kind of " union" save a union / or themselves was concerned , the meeting in the Commercial Buildings on Monday week , which issued in the triumphant defeat of the Sham Radicals , afforded ample proof of the utter insincerity of that tortuous
j j 1 ; and wretched party . On the face of it , the first 1 resolution proposed—the salt for the birds' tail—was : deficient in its expression of principle ; and where ! the principle ) is bad , the practice is not likely to be ! good . It vaguely acknowledged the defective state I of the representative system , but contained so plain I assertion to the effect , that our political grievances 1 were traceable to the want of universal snfiraga 1 as if a mere extension of class legislation might not , — , nay , must not , —in reference to the people , be still j more u defective" by increasing the power of the ! ABISTOCHACY OP THE LOOM OVPT the DEMOCRACY OF
LABOUR . \ But this bit of " salt" was a mere introduction to j the quick lime that followed—a wedge to make an aperture for resolntion number two—in . the hope of so " uniting all grades of reformers' * as to make ' them all serre the lx Plague . "

But alas for the poo £ foxes ! The bird was too wide awake . It whisked away its naughty bail and burned round to peckat them . And sorely aghast do Mother Goose and Mister Muckery alike stand ! Goosey , is at its wit ' s end ~ aa end soon reached—and laments , in * longdojefjil ditty , the " nn ^ melrend " of all its hopw * nd aspirations . It tells' the " Geese " , its readera , that the Chartista have loit the . good ' opinion t f th ^ middtemen ^ thoab mho * pe the pride , while they bow teethe power , of the loom
or land-oaucTi " They have disgusted then 1 " Quoth Goosey ? " TBej ' h » ve lost , ? by their irrational conduct , the support of the , pMriOtio and intelligent sbopotiraoy ! " A hint to the wise is traffi&aoi . If the Chartists ( by wblob we mean every honest man who seeks not to legislate « t his neighbour ' s expenee ) quietly withdraw their support from the shopocrats , the fthopooraU will quickly bring their support to the Chartists 1 The brains of the shopocraoy lie in their tills ; and reason and right are to be taught them only in
one way . Goosey gives us another , version of the fallacy propounded by the American hireling Squire of the " Plague "—that the Cora Law was the sword for enforcing class legislation . Mr . Lkes exploded the fancy , in showing that this " sword" had been itself first manufactured on the pre-existent anvil of class legislation—that it was an effect , not a cause , of the greatest of monopolies—the monopoly of making laws . Goosey demands to be informed how we intend to get the Charter , if we persist in refusing to cooperate with the Anti-Corn Law and " extension " men . M You array yourselves , " says she : —
- " Against the middle classes , the great body of Anti-Corn Law men , the manufacture !! , machine employers , machinists and tradesmen , the fundnoJders , and the great bod ; of poawoaom of property of all kinds , whether merchant * 01 landowners . " - . ' % ¦ Well , and what then . Goosey I If All these "be against us , are we , therefore , to " sing emalli" and ask for less than our full right by way of conciliating them !! Our fight is against all villany ; and we point to the array of forces that are marshalled against us , and , with the old General , we say to our brave brother CbartiBts , " There is the enemy ; if we don't beat them , by G—d they will beat us I " And what should hinder us ? Why . says
Goosey" They have the Suffrage , they elect the representatives , and unless the representatives elected by these pass the Charter , it will never be passed by moral and legitimate means . " Granted ; and what then ! There is no need to concede anything ; and yet we may obtain their con * Bent to elect such men as will obtain the Charter for as by legal means : and for the following reasons . There can be no action without a motive ; every motive is induced ; and the working classes possess thejxmer to induce the motive and beget the action . How ? Because their opponents are
perfectly insignificant , as compared with the masses , in point of numbers ; and equally inrffetailiSat when compared with them in point of mind and morality All that ia necessary is union among the workies " . This once obtained , who or what can or dare resiBt their lawful and constitutional demands , ! The terrors of the Almighty would be in their voiee ; the puny opposition of the " property" men would flee before it ; the oppressor would lose courage , and faint for very fear ; and the shackles would drop
from his hands . At the roar of the kiag of the forest—at the united demand of the Sovereig * People—all threats of coercion on the part of Government , would cease . They would evaporate like the morning cloud before the sun ; and long before the mid-day of their full onion and power , this same Government , as her only protection and safety , would throw open her wide embrace—place them u within the pale " , and proclaim them parts of the one great whole .
The people know this ; and hence they laugh at the stale " salt" which Dootor Goosey would fain " place upon their tails . " Not even the good Colonel can get near enough to manage it . Gootey says : — " The Devil and the Tories will enjoy this . " We wish them joy , and the Whigs to join them . They may laugh , if they think proper , but—«• The tale applied , May make them laugh on t ' other side . " At all events , we have taken the laughing out of the "Leeds Reform Association , " so called . And when their scribe next prates of his attachment to the Charter ; and of the landowners being arrayed against us by their fears , we warn him not to lie so fast ; nor to misrepresent the conduct and language of those whose arguments he cannot answer , as is done in the following paragraph : —
" The fears of the possessors of land have been often appealed to ; nor Is Mr . Feargus O'Connor ' s recent promist to divide the land of the country among his followers ! allotting a five-acre paddock to each , by any means likely to allay the distrust of this powerful class of individuals . Was ever misrepresentation more base than this ? M Divide among his followe . s " . ' It is a bad cause that requires lying like this to protect it ; it out-Neddy ' s " Neddy . " " Allotting a five-acre paddock to each" 1 What for ? That working men may feed on grass f
O , Goosey , Goosey ! this is surely the full stretch of thy lang craig I" This is not merely " driving the nail through the moon , " but "clenching it on the other side . " We must , however , just look at the unanswerable questions with which Goosey winds up her cackle : — First— " How the prevention of all measures of practical reform and improvement can in any reBpect advauce the cause of the People's Charter ?" Answer . — " You bog the question , Goosey ! Your measures are not ' practical , ' but wild , wicked , and visionary . Their professed object carries with it no certainty of being realised by those who most need it . "
Second— " Haw the Charter is to be obtafned so long as all the classes in actual possession of political power , and having at their command tbo armed physical force of the country , are arrayed in direct opposition to the Chartist party ?" Answer . —By the united efforts of the people . The people—the working people—can command all the armed physical force in the country whenever they wilt it . Third— " How the Charter is ta be obtained without the aid of the middle classes , who are the only portion of the people -wboBe sympathies and Interests are with the Chartists , and who are at present in possession of any portion of political power ?"
Answer . —What brought them , now , to seek " extension" and the repeal of the Corn Laws ? Their aid will come , when tha till shews them that it must ; and not a jot before . Fourth— " How the removal of any practical erievance would lessen the people ' s chances of carrying the Charter , or place the working classes in a worse position in respect of political power and influence than that which they now occupy ?"
Answer . —The same amount of agitation required to remove this same " practical grievance" would obtain for us the Charter . Moreover we have no desire to strengthen the hands of our enemies , for withont Universal Suffrage , the repeal of the Corn Laws would increase the opposition to the Charter , and perpetuate for many years longer the wicked factory system . Ail , all must go together , and , therefore , we say , ' On for the Charter ! One thing at a time—the Charter !"
So much for Mother Goose ' s long cackle on the defeat . But who would have expected to find the defeat of the Household Su ffrage party lamented by the ministerial Mercury ? Yet , so it is . The Mereuty reciprocates the woefnl " Smiles" of Goosey and is evidently mortified at the defeat of the Foxes . As usual , the , herring-Boup man keep 3 up his character . The logical and philosophical address of Mr . F . R .

the plague paid jn their own - . coin . ; ' ; . / ¦ ¦ We direct the attention of sor readers 4 o the report of a meeting held in tile Carpenter ' s Hail , Manchester , on Monday evening last , in which w « have another instance of the blood-thirstiness of the "Big Loaf" gentry aadtheir penchant for physical force , " which now appears to be the only argument from which the " Pjigue" can hope for support in its expiring mements . ..
The old adage ; says , Wat " whom the gods design to de 8 troj they first infatuate , " and we think the proverb was never more palpably verified than in the conduct of the ( Sora Law Repealers . Their infatuation has been evifceed in the attempt to hoodwink the people by representing the Repeal ef the Corn Laws as the panacea for all -the ills under which the body politic now - groans-. It has been manifested by a blind perseverance in their Utopian projects , after the complete refutation of their untenable fallacies . Ik has been shown
in their own exptsi of their objects , namely , to cheapen food that wages may be redaced , and the profits of the capitalist be thus seemed . And now it is demonstrated by claiming their right and title to all the dark deeds with which the factions were ever ready to charge the undeserving Chartists . Surely our opponents will now " place tke saddle upon the right horse , " and henceforth crown the " Plague" with the laurels they have so wUkmtly won . They cannot now have the effrontery to declare the Chartists the advocatea-ef physical force , seeing that it is now entirely monopolised by *? the powers that be , " and the power that would be—the large loaf and more work fraternity .
We are not advocates for physical force . We have contended , and still contead , that the great body of the Chartists repudiate the idea « f wresting their rights from the grasp of tyranny by means of physical force , until every other means has been adopted and proved ineffective . It is the dernier resort ; and whoever he be that recommends its application , under existing circumstances , is an enemy to the liberties of his oountry » Oppression may lead men beyond the poasibUHy « f endurance , then nature will dictate her ij | irn remedy . But this is not the doei ? $ a 9 jw » muigatedj by the
"Plagae , " for , taking ail Mgvaent , finding themselves bewildered in a labyrinth of difficulties from which no artifice can extricate them , aa j seeiug that they must make their exit Croalhe stag * , they resolve to go out of the world in an h $ po * rab le manner , bullying , blustering , and brea ^ g leads . Well , let them go , with " all their Mapt ^ honours thick upon them . " Peace be to tbai ^ J ttieirj aad may they never be disturbed by a rewfgPjjaiyfl . But alas ! what a faUing « fr * p £ e the Stephenson ' s Square tragedy ! The ' ^ & £ ipaire to meet yow God'troop have dwindled down to such aa insignificant number as to be kicked oat of the door of the Carpenter ' s Hall , and well they merited the
eastigation theyreoeived—they were the aggressors . The Chartists desired order—their weapons were argument and unsophisticated facts ; these were too powerful for the crafty League , therefore their hired ruffians must bo brought into action—the preconcerted signal was given , and the onslaught commenced ; but victory smiled not upon the assassins . Ne , the Chartists , though lovers of peace , showed the cowardly ruffians that they could fight and conquer when driven , to the point . We cannot blame the Chartists for the part they acted in the affair . Self-defence is necessary , and we are glad they gave the drunken blackguards a bint to find their way home .
It gives us great pleasure to state that the Repeal Association denounce such brutality on the part of their deluded countrymen , and we trust that they will ever discountenance the wretches who would createandperpetuateanimositybetween Irishmenaud Englishmen . Even the Manchester Guardian Bays the fight was promoted by those " who ought to have known better" and does not attempt , in this instance , to charge it on the Chartists . Let the canting hypocrites fight their own battles , and let the oppressed form one mighty phalanx , and direct all thsir energies to the annihilation of the parent evil—class legislation .
In conclusion , we conjure our brother Chartists to continue their onward course in the same pacific and praise-worthy manner they are now doing . They may depend upon it that every means will be resorted to , and every artifice employed to induce them to violate the law . Five hundred victims have not satiated the monster , despotism—it still pants for the blood of patriots , but let it thirst in vain . Be not the aggressors . When attacked , be not slaughtered like sheep , but shew yourselves men who will
not brook the unprovoked insults and assaults of designing knaves and their hired panders . You have a power—an invincible power—use it with prudence , and success is certain . The peaceful and moral demeanour evinced by the Chartists throughout the country , is winning the esteem , the admiration , and support of all the good and true—it is hastening the anihilation of despotism , and laying the foundation of a new order of things which will secure the happiness of all . Be peaceable—be manly .

UNITED WE STAND . " Take heed that ye fall not out by the way , ' was the warning of an ancient patriarch on the departure of his children ; and , in the sacred name of freedom , we would now reiterate the injunction * The success of our cause demands a strict observance of it . We , stand in a most important and most critical position ; a position , from which the combined powers of faction cannot remove os . Faction has
now lost its onee boasted potency : its every attack serves only to demonstrate its imbecility and accelerate its final overthrow . The apostates from oar own ranks—the sowers of discord who mingle aineng us—and the proud and envious , who , for sinister purposes , arrogate to themselves the now honourable name of Chartists , are alone to be dreaded . The actions of such characters are far more baneful
than the open hostility of avowed opponents , inasr much as they not only retard our progress , but furnish data for the enemy and food for corruption . Though it is the duty of the Chartists to rebut every false allegation made against the cause , and to repel every attack of the foe , yet we sometimes find that there is •* Much Ado about Nothing " performed on our stage , as well as'Upon that of St , Stephen ' s ; for instance , Mark Crabtbeb meets a few Dewsbury Chartists in a tap-room ; they disagree ; angry words are bandied about ; and then the half-dozen patrons of " mine host" must bring the matter into the Chartist court , to the exclusion of more important causes . Well , the « auseis heard , aud the whole amounts to an alehouse squabble 1

THE MASON'S STRIKE , ^ Wb refer attention to a lengthy report elsewhere of a most important delegate meeting on this snbject . We do hope and firmly trust that not merely the masons but the operative classes generally , throughout the whole empire , will take care that these good men be not beaten in their righteous straggle . If working men be their own friends they need fear no enemies : but it too often happens that they display so much apathy or folly in the upholding of each other and themselves , as creates for them many diffloultiea that might have been averted ; of which we cannot altogether acquit the maeonB in regard to this Struggle . . > : ¦ ¦ :: . ¦ ¦ ¦ : ¦¦ .: : ¦ ¦ \ .,-. - ¦ ¦ ' ; We have this week received m , reference to them r tke following letter : —
17 , Grantham-street , City Road , feonlen . I > eab SiiR , —Peeling deeply interested In whatever concerns the . interests of -what I and the great body of Chartists have ; been accustomed to lookup to as our " national organ , " I cannot consider I should be doing my duty to the Editor of that organ if I neglected to call his attention to facts of importance on which the prosperity of the 5 / ar must nceessarily depend . . There have been of late several complaints made against the Star , with what degree of truth it is net for me to decide * , I will only refer to one fact of very recent occurrence , I mean the strike of the stone masons-at the House of Lords .
Now Sir , the Sorthem Star , without Identifying itself with the Woble Fustian PtetiHon carriers , without taking any active part on behalf of those men who had sacrificed their time and money in the attempt . to draw the trades of Jiondon into the Charter agitation . The Xerthem Star , week after week , copied the opi nions and statements of the bribed Whig press of London , which were decidedly opposed to themi ; and the injury which ha * been done these men , by the weapons o « the treacherons press , having been picked np by the only stamped paper advocating the cause of the tolling million * , and re-hurled at tha men who bad at first been assailed with them on the gfdhnd of thai *
being Chartist agitators-, kc ) will take some time toeffiwe from , their miads ; . and indeed so keenly have many of them felt it , that I have it front the best ol authority , that twenty-four of these naoh- injured men have reUnqniahed the Star , who had before been the staunehest supporters of it and its principles . Where the error rest * I know not I am unwilling to believe with you . I know it is act Mr . O'Connor's wish . . I am not a mason , or in any way connected with them , except as brother Chartists ; but as a subscribe * to the ¦ Star from' its- commencement , as a bumble worshipper of its principles , I am prieved , to say the- least of it , both with the aanse aad the effect .
Hoping ymt will attribute the above wraaxka to the true motives which actuated the writer , 1 beg to remain , Tour obliged , humble Servant , J . Watts , sub-Secretary , National Charter Association , Finsbury . October 25 th , 1841 . Now , we thank Mr . Watts very cordially , for this ver $ proper expression of his feeling ; while we must beg entirely to disclaim all blame in the matter ; and to say , that if the ntasaas have experienced any want of due attention from the Northern Star , it has been solely and entirely their
own fau » . We are always ready to receive and to attend to everything in which the interests of the workman are involved that may be sent to us . The first week of this strike , having received no communication from the men , we took no notice of it . The second week we waited for the last post , in expectation of receiving some intelligence ; but , none coming , we were compelled t « have recourse to the only source of information open to us , the London papers , taking care distinctly tespecify our authority as a Whig official print . Our Sub-Editor then wrote to the Masons' Secretary expressing our surprise at hearing nothing from their body and wishing io . have correct and an- * thentie information . We nlve since then received
some communications from the Masons' body , and every syllable has been inserted . We have omitted nothing that has been sent to as . We have looked to every source of information for authentic statements , and have inserted everything which we thought likely to serve the men . Feeling conscious that we have in this , as in all other matters of discussion , consulted , simply , by the best means afforded to us , the interests and rights of labour , we think , and we know that every reflecting workman will agree with us in thinking , it unfair to withhold from us the means of service and then complain that we do not use them .

THE WHIGS AND SWING t The dastardly Whigs are at their old game again , striving to incite the suffering people to acts of outrage and incendiarism . Some of their diabolioal agents last week cemmitted two or three incendiary fires in Warwickshire ; and the Whig press is endeavouring to mislead the labourers of other counties into acts of the same kind . The Chronicle says the incendiary fires result "from a feeling of revenge against the bread-taxing landlords ; " and the Globe calls them " the beginning of a fearful organised system of destruction . " Did any one ever read villany like this ? I Did not O'Connor speak truly when he said , "that the Whiga in opposition
would soon throw the torch and dagger Chartists into the shade } " Thank God ! the monsters are too well known for their appeals to have any efiect upon us . Bat we must be cautious ; one outbuge oa act of incendiarism , by a member of the Association , would injure the cause more * than ages of persecution . This , is what the Whigs are aiming at . Brother Chaiitists , and especially in the agricultural districts , bewabe ! spies abb abroad ! villains are lurking about striving to incite you to outrage ! Spurn them I Out them out from amongstyou ! Remember the last hope ot the expiring Whig faction rests upon your violating Hie- law . Keep witiiix it , aud disappoint them !
